Chapter 91 Oh Huo
The next morning, County Magistrate Jia went to the court to investigate the case and interrogated the group of people he caught last night.
Xu Fan and Xu Ying were also wearing shackles and were taken to the court with Liu Zhun and others.
The two of them didn't meet their eyes all night last night. The cell was stinking, with bed bugs and fleas everywhere, and mice biting their toes at night. The two brothers had another novel but not beautiful experience.
Since they couldn't sleep, the two of them whispered together for a night, and finally decided not to disclose their identities, even if they were sentenced.
Because they heard that Hai Rui had already issued a sea capture document and was wanted by both of them nationwide. If this was exposed, wouldn’t it be like falling into the trap?
In this era, the road-induction system has long been abolished and cannot be abolished. There are many refugees in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many people with unknown origins. Anyway, they are not human beings, so they just make up their identities and fool them.
After making up their minds, the two felt relieved and reorganized their identities. Yu Xi, Yu Bei and others had no problem coaxing illiterate people, but they were exposed when they arrived in court.
After the people came to the court, they knelt down very consciously.
Only Xu Fan and Xu Ying stood there without any awareness.
"Kneel down!" The head of the troupe shouted.
"We, kneel down?" The two of them knelt down on the sky and kneeled down on their parents, but they had not even kneeled down to become officials. "Why?"
Liu Zhun secretly gave a thumbs up, but he didn't expect that his second and third brothers were so tough.
"When I see the master, I won't kneel down!" The head of the troupe shouted angrily, and two yamen runners picked up water and fire sticks and knocked them hard on their own crutches.
He immediately knocked them to the ground.
County Magistrate Jia slapped the agglomeration and asked in a deep voice: "Who is kneeling in the hall?"
"We..." Xu Fan was about to speak.
"Palm, let you talk?" County Magistrate Jia glared, and the head of the troupe put on cowhide gloves and slapped Xu Fan's mouth hard.
Xu Fan had a long bleeding nose and looked at Magistrate Jia with grievance. Didn’t you ask?
Who knew that County Magistrate Jia was not asking about him at all.
I saw the captain who arrested them last night and went out to report: "Return to the master, I received a report from the people last night and arrested a group of vicious human traffickers!"
"Oh?" County Magistrate Jia asked in a deep voice: "Have you asked for confession?"
"Go back to the master, the first trial has been passed." The county's criminal department official came out to report: "At first they wanted to deny it, but after loosening the bones, they all gave up. These guys admitted that they started working as human traffickers last year and had committed thirty crimes."
"Based on their confession, Bei Zhi found that the case they confessed had already been registered in the South Ministry of Justice. The young men left the city overnight and rescued two captured women."
"So, are all human and physical evidence?" County Magistrate Jia asked with a deep face.
"There are all evidences and physical evidence." The official replied.
"How to sentence me?" County Magistrate Jia asked again.
"According to the rules, buy a few people and get a hundred sticks, and get a hundred sticks. If you sell them to more than three, use a hundred kilograms of shackles, and the shackles are marked for a month, and send them to the front." The official replied hurriedly.
County Magistrate Jia slapped the awkward and said, "Just like this, I'll give up!"
Liu Zhun and others were glad that at least they were the robbers who killed and robbers and robbers who were not exposed, and they could always leave a life.
Although a hundred sticks may kill a person, as long as you are willing to give money, your butt will not bloom.
As for exile, I wouldn't go as far as 3,000 taels. Why do the county send free labor to people? I have to pay a large amount of travel expenses? Usually, I send it to the salt farms, official warehouses, post stations and other places in the county to work hard labor.
Just find an opportunity to escape.
Xu Fan and Xu Ying were stunned. Why didn’t we even ask? Just the judgment was made like this? This does not meet the process.
"Sir, let's go, we are not human traffickers!" Both of them didn't care about being slapped. They quickly shouted: "We were caught by them!"
"Master, don't listen to these two bad guys' nonsense. Everyone heard last night. They called each other big brother, second brother, and third brother." The headmaster hurriedly exposed.
Master Huang nodded and said that he had heard it too.
"The bold traitor dares to openly fool me!" Jia Magistrate Jia was in a good mood and was furious. He drew a fire tag from the signboard and threw it on the ground and said, "Call me!"
The yamen runner immediately pressed the Xu Fan brothers with a water and fire stick, took off their pants, and then lit up the board at their four snow-white petals!
"Ah..." The two brothers felt that their butts were about to bloom, and they still cried and shouted: "We are really good people!"
Even their sworn brother couldn't help but testify for the two: "They were indeed caught by us, not our group."
"..." Xu Fan and Xu Ying looked at the man's tooth, not sure if he was too immersed in the show or was ignorant. However, he didn't care about so much at this moment, so he quickly turned to the hall and said, "You are the master who believes it now? We are also victims."
"Yes, Master, we deliberately coaxed him to become sworn brothers, just because we were afraid that he would get the money and kill us..." Xu Ying added with a superfluous look: "Otherwise, who would become sworn brothers?"
"So you have always thought this way?!" Liu Zhun felt like he was hit hard when he heard this, and his face was distorted and hatred said: "We will be ruthless from now on!"
After saying that, he turned his head and cried loudly.
Xu Fan and Xu Ying didn't care at all, and just hoped to escape quickly.
"What are your names? Where are you? The most important thing is, do you have any way to guide you?" County Magistrate Jia asked them with a smile: "Answer the last question first."
"This..." The two of them were stunned. Where can I find that thing?
"Master, whoever goes out now wants that thing..." Xu Fan already clearly felt something was wrong. Because when he was messing with others, he also picked the bones in the eggs.
"Bastard! I don't care about other counties! Changxing County must abide by the law. Without a road, it is a crime!" County Magistrate Jia slapped the gavel.
"According to the law, according to the law..."
"According to the law, we should use private crossing to the Guanjin area!" The clerk of the Criminal Office added loudly.
"Yes, I'll be eighty-year-olds from Guanjin!" County Magistrate Jia threw out another fire sign.
The labor service immediately continued to beat the board, and the two of them were beaten to death, and they were dead...
After finally reaching eighty strokes, he heard County Magistrate Jia say, "Go out!"
Xu Fan and Xu Ying thought it was over, and it was not too much of a loss to regain their freedom by making a beating.
"Master, I want to expose the meritorious service!" Unexpectedly, the next Liu Zhun who was about to beat the board suddenly said loudly: "They two intend to rebel!"
Xu Fan and Xu Ying were stunned.
"What?!" County Magistrate Jia immediately called the yamen runners and said to Liu Zhun: "Come here as you can avoid you from slapping the board!"
"Yes, Master!" Brother Liu, whose feelings were seriously hurt, wanted to take revenge on these two cold and slutty people.
He said everything that Xu Fan told him, now the emperor is in a mess and the people are living in poverty. The world is about to change drastically, recruit soldiers and train secretly, and wait for the times to come.
Oh, waiver...
Xu Fan rolled his eyes and fainted.
