Twin Brocade

Chapter 819 Silence
"My lord, he slips so fast!"

The leading arrester was panting, pointed at the man in black, and spat, "I'm guilty of being a thief, didn't you get caught by me?"

What he didn't say was that if the man hadn't panicked and ran in the wrong direction, they wouldn't have caught him at all.

Quan Moxian nodded and smiled: "You all have worked hard. Bring him forward and ask questions!"

"Yes!"

Several people escorted him to the front and knelt down, and asked, "Who are you, and why did you assassinate Chen San?"

The man gave a bah, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, looked at Chen San and said bitterly: "Damn him!" His expression was fierce, and Chen San shrank back in fright.

The yamen servant kicked him on the back and said, "Respond well."

"This man doesn't know how to live or die, he joins relatives as he pleases, and wants to meddle in my business!" The man in black pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "I killed him and threw him into this sealed well. It was originally unknown.”

"How could he actually give Chen San a dream!" He simply stopped trying to hide it, and said ruthlessly: "If I don't kill this actor, the hatred in my heart will not be relieved!"

"My lord, he is Wang Zhong, the guardian hired by our family." The official Wu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that he would commit such a murder!"

"Oh?" Quan Moxian smiled meaningfully, and said: "It's a coincidence. He didn't stab early, and he didn't stab late, why is this the time?"

Coincidentally, it's not just about murder.

Just after the man's body was salvaged from the bottom of the well, Wang Zhong was arrested and brought to justice.

It is said that there is no coincidence without a book, which is too coincidental.

One moment the person who died unjustly was discovered, and the next moment the real murderer appeared.

If murder cases can be solved so easily, wouldn't everyone be able to be the master of Qingtian?

"Mr. Wu, this is a member of your family." Quan Moxian said: "I will give you a chance first, you come to interrogate his confession, I will not pursue your crime of lax discipline."

Let him come for trial?

Everyone at the scene felt something strange and became suspicious.

The local officials in Bozhou knew that this high official Wu was not someone to be trifled with, and they could investigate the case, so naturally they would not object at this moment and arouse resentment.

However, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, this Langzhong Quan, it seems that he is not as powerful as the rumors say.Let Mr. Wu come to interrogate the things that have been made clear?
The arrests from the Ministry of Punishment were not the case. They knew Quan Moxian better, and knew that he must have his reasons for doing so.

Officer Wu covered his face with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency is wise."

He secretly rejoiced in his heart that Quan Moxian was hard to fool, but fortunately he had prepared a counter move in advance, so that he could deal with it.

The results of the interrogation were not as expected.

Under the questioning of Wu Daguan, the nurse named Wang Zhong confessed that he killed the scholar from a foreign land.

The reason is that he gambled and lost a lot of money.On the street, he saw that the scholar's money was in vain, so he tricked him into knowing someone who had come to visit his relatives, and lured him into Wu's mansion.

"My lord, I didn't want to kill him!" Wang Zhong's eyes were red, and he roared, "He even gave me the silver ticket, but he just couldn't part with that jade bracelet!"

He spread his hands and said, "Is it my fault?"

"You..." Officer Wu was trembling with anger, and he said in fear, "You are still justified? There is a murderer like you hiding in my mansion! I am really blind."

"My lord, the grassroots have already asked clearly, my lord, please enforce the law impartially!" Mr. Wu said with a look of righteousness and killing relatives.

"Kill for life, take away." Quan Moxian said flatly.

"Yes!" Everyone obeyed.

Chen San stepped forward tremblingly: "My lord, can the grass-roots people leave Bozhou?"

Quan Moxian shook his head, and said: "The complaint of the wronged soul is illusory, and I still need your testimony, and I will wait for this officer to close the case."

"Yes."

Chen San looked helpless, but he had to obey orders.

"If your lord is useful to the grassroots, just tell me!" Wu Daguan cupped his hands, motioned for a tray to come up with, and said: "All the officials and masters have worked hard, it is not respectful."

Neatly placed in the tray are shiny copper coins.Such hard-earned money is an official practice.

Quan Moxian signaled to the yamen servants behind him to accept it, and led the crowd to leave the Wu Mansion.

Seeing him coming out, the people who had been waiting outside for a long time stepped forward one after another and asked the officials they knew about what happened inside.

A court was set up at Caishikou, and the wronged souls sued.

After entering the Wu Mansion, two dead bodies were carried out successively and sent to Yizhuang, the state capital, for further examination.

At this moment, the prisoner came out again. Could it be that the murder case has been solved?
People stretched their necks, wanting to find out.

Quan Moxian walked at the front, but walked very slowly.He wants to set aside enough time to let the people in the city know about it.

Haifeng had received his orders early in the morning, and told the case of Wang Zhong's murder: "Don't worry, Mr. Quan will review the case after he returns to Beijing, and bring justice to the wronged man."

"My lord! Wang Zhong is just a guard, how could he have the guts to kill someone!"

"Let me tell you, this is what Mr. Wu did. You are new here and don't know how many immoral things Mr. Wu has done in the countryside!"

Someone in the crowd shouted that, but when everyone was amazed at the courage of the shouter, there was no trace of the speaker.

Quan Moxian paused as he walked slowly, looked at the Bozhou government servant behind him, and asked, "Is this true?"

The yamen servant was suffocated and dared not answer.

Quan Moxian looked at the crowd again, raised his hands and pressed them down, the clamor and hustle and bustle quieted down.People looked at him, not knowing why.

His gaze swept across the crowd slowly, and asked, "You guys, dare to testify?"

The people bowed their heads in shame, not daring to meet his gaze.

Although Daguan Wu has no official position, he is rich and powerful in Bozhou. He is an out-and-out local tyrant and evil gentry, a local tyrant.

Quan Moxian is a messenger sent from Beijing, and the people of Bozhou don't believe that he can punish Wu Daguan.It is true that exposing them at this time can be a pleasure for a while, but when Quan Moxian leaves, they will wait for the most vicious revenge.

With such concerns, who would dare to stand out easily?

It's okay to hide in the crowd and shout a few times, but it's another matter to really sign the report.

silence.

Still silent.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the people standing on the ground were shoulder to shoulder.

However, among so many people, no one dared to stand up and testify for the common people who had been bullied by the officials of Wu.Those who have been harmed are even more afraid.

They have tasted the tricks of Daguan Wu, and they don't want to experience it again in this life.

It's okay to watch the fun, and if Mr. Wu is unlucky, he will tell everyone, but no one dares to be the hand that pushes down the wall.

Fresh life.

Dead silence.

Quan Moxian smiled, waved his hand and moved forward.

The crowd parted in front of him, making way for him.That's all they can do.
