Chapter 36 Two ways to die

After obtaining the evidence of the crime, Lin Feng arranged for Fang Tiezhu to send someone to trap Chen Yi, the military clerk. He must not alert the enemy and report to Magistrate Zhang himself.

Dian Shi was also an official of the court appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Not to mention Lin Feng, even County Magistrate Zhang could not handle it without authorization. He had to fix the evidence and report it to the state government for handling. But if you feel there is a real danger, it is still possible to take control first.

Arriving at Magistrate Zhang's house, he backed away and took out the secret letter written by Ding Yingqi and said: "Your Majesty, it has been found out that the person who leaked tax money to the bandits last time was Ding Yingqi. This time, I deliberately said that I was going to attack After a gust of wind, he wrote another letter to report. This is evidence of guilt." At the same time, he handed over the confidential letter.

"This man surnamed Ding is actually so cruel, hooking up with the bandits and trying to kill us." Magistrate Zhang was very angry after seeing it. Of course he recognized the handwriting of Ding Dadian Shi.

What made him most angry was that in order to fight for power, the man surnamed Ding wanted to be the county magistrate. He dared to leak the secret that the bandits were going to rob the tax money. If he lost more than 10,000 taels of tax money, he would lose his official position.

"Your Majesty, this Ding Dianshi has a deep collusion with the bandits. In order to prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry, I suggest that we control him first and collect further evidence of his crime so that he can report it to the state government for disposal." Lin Feng then suggested.

"Yes, this trial of Dianshi still needs to be handled by the state government. Yuanshan, please do your best to control him first, and let the execution room sort out the evidence and report it to the state government tomorrow. Hey, this matter is really troublesome. " Magistrate Zhang said.

"Understood, I'll do it right away." Lin Feng responded.

After leaving the county magistrate, Lin Feng took Zhang Tiezhu and Jiang Yin from the execution room to control Ding Yingqi.

When Ding Dianshi arrived at Dianshi's public house, it was almost the afternoon office time. Ding Dianshi probably thought that Lin County Prime Minister would soon die gloriously on the way to suppress bandits, so he was in a good mood, humming a ditty and getting ready to go home from get off work.

The only regret is that no one has invited him to Caiyun Pavilion for a long time recently. If he went by himself, it would cost money on the one hand, but there would be no honors on the other hand.

"Hey, Ding Dianshi seems to be in a good mood. Are you ready to get off work?" Lin Feng asked with a cheerful face, as if the two had been good friends for many years.

"Lin County Cheng, you have no control over the release of the Yamen Queen. Please get out of the way." Ding Dianshi obviously didn't want to waste words with a "dying" person.

"Where is the secretary in your room?" Lin Feng asked.

"He went back earlier." A flash of panic flashed in Ding Yingqi's eyes, and he said calmly.

"He is busy, and he must be busy helping you leak important information to the bandits." Lin Feng stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"You, you all know?" Ding Yingqi slumped on the chair in horror.

"If you don't want others to know, unless you do nothing yourself, you know best the bad things you have done. I'm afraid there are too many words to describe them." Lin Feng continued.

"What evidence do you have? I am a historian, you have no right to interrogate me." Ding Yingqi recovered from his initial panic.

"Evidence of crime? Look at what this is, and it will make you give up." Lin Feng took out the confidential letter written by Ding Yingqi.

"Give it back to me!" Ding Dianshi wanted to pounce and snatch it.

"Be honest!" Zhang Tiezhu stepped forward and kicked Ding Yingqi down, taking control.

"Come and beat me. If you can, beat me to death. I'll see how you explain it to the state government." Ding Yingqi was sure that Lin Feng didn't dare to kill him. As long as the case was handed over to the state government, he would still have something to do with it. At worst, he wouldn't be considered a historian.

"Haha, let alone me, even the county magistrate has no right to execute you. Even the interrogation has to be conducted by the state government. But no one can stop the suspect from committing suicide." Lin Feng said with a smirk on his face.

"Who, who wants to commit suicide?" Ding Dadianshi felt something was wrong.

"Jiang Yin, please make a record. Ding Yingqi, the Dianshi, was exposed because he colluded with bandits to rob tax money and leaked secrets to suppress the bandits. He was so ashamed that he hanged himself in Dianshi's palace." Lin Feng said. "Ding Dianshi was able to commit suicide out of shame, which proves that he has not yet destroyed his humanity and still has a trace of conscience." Jiang Yin replied seriously.

"Yes, the light goes out after death. Since Ding Dianshi committed suicide, for the sake of his colleagues, the case will be dropped and only the illegal gains will be recovered, so that his family will not be harmed." Lin Feng said.

"Who wants to commit suicide? Don't, don't come here blindly!" Wait, you are discussing my suicide in front of me. Are you polite? In Ding Dianshi's mind, ten thousand grass and mud horses ran past him, and he shouted angrily.

"Hey, it seems that Ding Dianshi has no shame and no conscience in his heart. He also tried to resist arrest by force, hijacked Shangguan and escaped. In the chaos, he was hacked to death by Fang Tiezhu. But since he has no regrets, let's get to the bottom of it. No matter what is involved in the family Anyone will be arrested and convicted." Lin Feng changed the death method of Ding Dianshi again.

This is what Lin Feng has just made up his mind. This time he must kill this person named Ding. If Feng Tongzhi, the person in charge of criminal names in the state government, doesn't deal with him, things will definitely change when he gets there. I don't know what the relationship between the person named Ding and him is. It's better to kill all of them.

Anyway, just find a suitable reason. If the evidence is solid, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, I am a time-travelling person, how can I be subjected to this kind of bird-like behavior every day? If the state government wants to accuse me, it will be a big deal.

Hearing what Lin Feng said, Ding Yingqi knew that he was going to die today. His face turned green and white, big drops of sweat kept falling, and a puddle of yellow water flowed out from under his feet. He was so scared that he peed.

But it doesn’t matter whether you were scared to death or scared to death, Lin Feng would not let it go this time. He continued: "Ding Dianshi, you can choose between two ways to die. This is because I am an official in the county government." I will take the greatest care of you."

"Master Lin, Master Lin, can you let me live? I will obey you and work hard for you!" Ding Yingqi knelt down and begged.

"What do you think, do I dare to use someone like you? Can I let go of the things you committed?" Lin Feng replied contemptuously.

"I, I, if I commit suicide, will it really harm my family?" Ding Yingqi knew that he would not be spared, so he asked with a decadent expression, no longer as high-spirited as before.

"As long as there is no murder case, I will let them go." Lin Feng didn't want to dwell on minor issues.

"Okay, then, I choose to commit suicide." Ding Yingqi hesitated for a long time, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said with difficulty, his eyes still full of infinite yearning for life.

"Okay, Tie Zhu, serve Master Ding on his way." After Lin Feng said that, he walked out of Dian Shi's office.

After a while, Fang Tiezhu came to report that the matter was done.

Lin Feng walked in again, and Ding Yingqi was already hanging on the beam with a thin rope, his neck was swollen, his tongue was sticking out, and he looked unwilling.

Lin Feng briefly looked through Dian Shi's office and found a small box of gold hidden in the cabinet, about 200 taels. It was probably his small treasury. Of course Lin Feng kept it without hesitation.

There are some other pieces of silver that have not been touched, and there is a black wooden box in the hidden mezzanine of the cabinet, which contains many letters.

Lin Feng flipped through the letters and found that they were mostly letters he had with the gentry and Shangguan officials. One of them was written by Feng Mian, the general magistrate of Jiazhou, to the effect that he had received the things and would try his best to help him obtain the position of county magistrate. , it seems to be a transaction to buy an official position.

Sure enough, there was collusion. Fortunately, he had started early, otherwise he would not have been able to kill the man named Ding.

There was another letter written by the second master of the Liu family in Dabao Town, which made Lin Feng furious after reading it.

It turned out that the Liu family had their eye on a piece of good land, but the local people refused to sell it. The second master Liu actually used the opportunity to chase the peasant army to drive out the mob and kill all the people. Ding Dianshi allocated it to the land on the pretext that the land was ownerless. The Liu family.

It seemed that Ding Dianshi was indeed up to no good, so Lin Feng no longer had any burden on his mind to kill him.

　In this way, there are only four chapters in the evening. It seems too tiring to spell out the fake ones, so I will use the two chapters in the evening first. I wish you all a happy reading
