Thieves also dare to get up and walk ah!”
After Zhu Pingan’s stern words, a group of suspects stood in place, except for one suspect who fell to his knees with a plop, just like a chicken standing in a flock of cranes, exceptionally conspicuous, wanting to not draw attention to himself.
It goes without saying!
Not to fight to confess!
Undoubtedly, there is no doubt that the thief of this serial burglary case is the suspect who knelt down!
At this moment, the magistrate Zhang, who had mocked Zhu Pingan for a whole hall, was stunned, the thick mockery on his face instantly withered, his eyes were wide and round, comparable to the eyes of a bull, his face was full of disbelief, the shocked look of hitting a ghost in the middle of the day, the corners of his mouth twitching as he murmured in a trembling voice: “No way, can you still try a case like this?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Master Yao was also completely stunned, frozen in place like a half-broken log, his pupils were unfocused as he glanced at the suspects kneeling on the ground, and then glanced at Zhu Pingan, who had never been formally looked at by him in the lobby, and had the feeling that his IQ had been rubbed against the ground for the hundredth time, all along he had prided himself on being extremely intelligent, and his IQ was the best in Jingnan, but at this moment, his self-confidence, conceit, and sense of superiority was instantly completely gone.
The six rooms of the Suxian officials were also all dumbstruck one by one, their mouths open to the point where they could stuff an egg in, their throats drying up, and the sound of swallowing spittle connected to one another.
“Zhang Pocky, dog said, so it was you who stole it!”
“So it’s Zhang Pocky you son of a b*tch! I said how you three days, big fish and meat ……”
Equally shocked were the other suspects, looking at the kneeling suspect Zhang Pocky, one cursed.
“Not me, not me ……”
The suspect kneeling on the ground, only kneeling on the reaction, instantly pale, forehead cold sweat, shaking his head repeatedly, pressing the ground to get up, the knee square off the ground. The first thing that happened was that the suspect’s knees were just off the ground! Shocked wood rang again, the suspect scared and panicked, kneeling down again.
“Zhang Pocky! Do not tell the truth with this court!”Zhu Pingan slapped the wood of the hall and shouted in a stern voice.
“Back, back to the governor big master, small, small …… small is not a thief, small party just numb legs ……”
Zhang Pocky sweating, pale face, opened his mouth several times, only to send out the bottom of the voice, pale and powerless defence.
“Zhang Pocky, now is already bald head lice – obvious, all to this point, you still deny, is not deceiving this Yamen torture tools not harsh? Come on, pull down and give you 40 lashes!”
Zhu Pingan said, pulling out a warrant stick from the bucket, throwing it heavily on the ground, the warrant stick bounced twice, landing at Zhang Pocky’s feet.
“As ordered!”
Two stout yamen walked out in response, carrying water and fire sticks, grimacing as they walked towards Pocky Zhang, stretching out their bushy hands to press down on Pocky Zhang’s shoulders, and lifting him up in one go, as if they were lifting a chicken.
“Don t, don t, don t, don t fight, I confess, I confess, I confess all ……”
Zhang pazi was scared by this situation fart figure rolling urine flow, trousers are wet, and even begged for mercy, he himself is timid, before far to see the county government office execution, look at the skin open flesh, blood and paste a piece of, screams heard him back to sleep all have shadow, now heard to major him forty big board, where still resisted.
“Do not dare to hide the county magistrate, that cattle, sheep, donkeys, pigs and chickens are indeed small steal, but, but small …… small is also compelled by the Zhang butcher’s compulsion! It’s the Zhang butcher who compelled me to steal it! He compelled me to steal chickens and dogs, and he also let me off the hook, and the stolen livestock were all killed and sold by him, and he gave me a little bit of money for wine and meat.”
Zhang Pocky was so scared that he confessed with a handful of snot and tears, and at the end of the day, he also pulled a cushion, exposing and prosecuting Zhang Butcher amongst a group of suspects.
“Nonsense, bloody mouth, when did I compel you! I think you kid is tired of living!”
Zhang Butcher among the suspects had long been on his feet from the moment Zhang Pocky knelt down, and at this moment when he heard that Zhang Pocky had indeed reported him out, he could not help but sweat and become infuriated, glaring viciously at Zhang Pocky, lifting up his mantle-sized fists, and slamming them over with vigour, with an eye to do some inhumane bodily harm to Zhang Pocky.
Liu Dazhou was quick, went up one step, effortlessly and steadily grabbed Zhang Butcher’s fist, backhanded a tease, a foot lifted in Zhang Butcher’s leg nest, easily pressed Zhang Butcher to kneel on the ground.
“No wantonness in the public hall!!!”
Zhu Pingan slapped the shocking wood, then pulled out a stick from the sign cylinder and threw it on the ground with force, “Zhang Butcher scorned the public hall, disregarded the law and discipline, and interfered with the trial, so he will be dragged down to the top ten boards as a warning to others. Zhang Pocky you are able to truthfully confess your crimes and report your accomplices, if this report is true, this official can reduce your punishment at his discretion.”
In Sun Tzu – The Beginning of the Plan, there is a saying: “A general is wise, trustworthy, benevolent, courageous and strict.” For the general, both benevolence and strictness, in simple terms, is the grace and prestige, do magistrate should also be so, Zhu Pingan is not a pedantic person, this is thought deeply.
Butcher Zhang dared to hurt people in the public hall, if not dealt with seriously, what will be the majesty of the public hall in the future.
Soon, Butcher Zhang was pulled down, screaming in pain.
Zhang Pocky was trembling in the public hall, and in his heart, he didn’t dare to have any idea of concealment.
After the beating, Butcher Zhang was then dragged into the public hall.
Zhang Butcher was also considered to be in good physical condition, and was heavily beaten with ten big slaps, his buttocks were skinned and cracked, but he was still able to kneel.
“Magistrate, I’m innocent. Small is the village butcher, famous honest people, small sell meat never lack of catty, ten miles eight village folks know, are very care of small business, small days also live a tasty, how can go to steal chickens and dogs it. Only Zhang Pocky this kind of ate the next meal to eat the next meal will steal to make a living. I still hope that the magistrate will be discerning, you can’t listen to the one-sided words of Zhang Pocky, the thief, who speaks nonsense with his mouth open, and the mad dog bites people, deliberately slandering the little one.”Zhang Butcher hardened himself and refused to admit the crime, counter-charging Zhang Pocky with mad dog biting people.
“Magistrate, I didn’t open my mouth to talk nonsense, I have evidence. Because slaughtering plough oxen is against the law, and beef is not good to be sold openly, Zhang Butcher has not yet found a buyer, and so far he has not had time to dispose of that plough oxen. It’s in a grassy slopes of Zhang Butcher’s house in Xili Slope, and there’s a cowshed inside, where the old yellow cow of Zhang Erniu’s house that I stole is hidden, and the key of the cowshed has been kept close to Zhang Butcher all the time. If the Magistrate doesn’t believe me, a search will show me that I’m not talking nonsense.”
Pocky Zhang anxiously knelt on the ground and kowtowed while revealing Butcher Zhang’s old background.
“Zhang Pocky, you f*cking ……”
Zhang Butcher gritted his teeth and couldn’t help but want to satiate Zhang Pocky with his old fists again, but a movement pulled his wounds and he grimaced in pain.
“Search!”
Zhu Pingan ordered the magistrates to search Zhang Butcher’s body, and soon found the key that was tied to the waistline of Zhang Butcher’s trousers.
Next, Zhu Pingan led a group of county magistrates, Liu Mu, Liu Dazhou, and more than ten other magistrates escorted the two suspects, Pocky Zhang and Butcher Zhang, and rushed to the grassy slopes of Xilipo, surrounded by a large number of villagers who had heard the news.
Sure enough, inside the grass slopes, they saw a cowshed with a big iron rope, Liu Dazhou went up and opened the lock of the cowshed in one go with the key seized from Zhang Butcher, and then they saw the old yellow cow inside.
“It’s my family’s cow, it’s my family’s cow, my family’s cow has a one-finger-long scar on its buttocks, that’s when the cow was still small,” the lost advocate, Erniu, instantly recognised his family’s old yellow cow, and also produced the evidence.
In this way, the truth came out and the serial theft case was solved.
“Such a complicated serial theft case, the Great Master of the Magistrate took less than a day to solve it.”
“The Grand Master of the County is truly the Bao Qing Tian in the world!”
“The Grand Master of the Magistrate solved the case like a god, it really is the Grand Master of Qing Tian.”
……
At this moment Zhu Pingan’s back under the setting sun shone brightly in the eyes of the people at the scene, and the crowd of people were full of praise.
Zhu Pingan blushed as he listened.
Of course, on the side, the two people, County Minister Zhang and Lord Yao, listening to the crowd of people’s mountainous praises of Zhu Pingan, were sinking their faces like water, as black as the bottom of a pot.
