Chapter 454: Intensive Debate (Part 1)

"Prince, the official wants to summon several parties involved." After adjusting his panic, Zhang Chang asked the female prisoners with a pale expression. After he figured out the reason why Sanqiao was imprisoned, he strode to Zhao Yunan and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Chang can now conclude that Sanqiao was cheated by Ma Erlaizi and Si Cheng. Since these two guys are the root of disaster, don’t blame him for being ruthless.[]

Zhao Yunan waved his hand without raising his head, and a guard standing next to him immediately walked towards Zhang Chang.

Seeing this, Zhang Chang told the guard the person who needed to be summoned. Not only were the two parties involved, He Wei, the chief of the Dongcheng Military and Ma Erlaizi, but also Feng Kun, the commander of the Dongcheng Military and Ma Shishi, and Xu Jie, the deputy commander-in-chief.

Although Feng Kun, Xu Jie and Zhang Chang have a good personal relationship and they often respect Zhang Chang, in order to protect themselves, Zhang Chang had to take the blame.

The four groups of guards immediately left the Dongcheng Military Police and went to summon Feng Kun and the other four. It would definitely take a lot of time to summon these four people. Tan Zong asked the doctor who had arrived to treat San Qiao's injuries first.

Considering that San Qiao's injury was relatively good, Tan Zong specially invited a female doctor in the capital to treat trauma, which made San Qiao feel much more at ease.

The female doctor was in her forties and experienced. She brought two female apprentices as helpers and methodically cleaned Sanqiao's butt, which was already bloody and stuck to her underwear, in a room.

Sanqiao held a towel in her mouth and bit it tightly, without saying a word, making her forehead sweat profusely.

Tan Zong and Ergou were guarding the door. Tan Zong held his hands with his chest and stood there thinking about his thoughts, while Ergou seemed a little restless and paced back and forth anxiously. He could imagine the pain Sanqiao was suffering now.

"Mr. Tan, all the parties involved have been summoned to the scene." I don't know how long it took, a guard came over, bowed to Tan Zong, and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Tan Zong glanced at the closed room. As the guard left, Ergou hesitated for a moment and followed him, wanting to know how the case would be judged.

Walking into the backyard, Tan Zong saw four men in casual clothes lined up, bowing in front of Zhang Chang with sweat. Zhang Chang was sitting behind a table, with two rows of soldiers holding water and fire sticks standing there expressionlessly. They were the men transferred by Zhang Chang from the Five City Military and Masjids and were preparing to personally try the case.

Standing at the last of the four casual men was a tall and thin middle-aged man with a slutty head with a mouse-like head, a red face, and a smell of alcohol. His eyes were covered in panic.

The tall and thin middle-aged man was Ma Erlaizi, and the other three were commander Feng Kun, deputy commander Xu Jie and Si Cheng He Wei in the order. These four were drinking just now, and they were more or less drunk. Like Zhang Chang, they were directly brought back from the table by the guards.

Among them, Ma Erlaizi and He Wei were together, while Feng Kun and Xu Jie were gathering with friends respectively. The four of them were confused about the sudden introduction of the military personnel of the Dongcheng City by the Great Guards and were not sure what had happened.

After arriving at the Dongcheng Military Affairs Office, the four of them were shocked. Not only was Zhang Chang there, but the yard was full of serious guards, especially the two young men who were casually playing chess aside. They didn't know where they came from, but they seemed to have a noble status.

Feng Kun and others had low identities, and Zhao Yun'an and Zhao Yunbo had no intention of getting involved in the officialdom, so they had never met Zhao Yun'an and Zhao Yunbo at all, so they naturally didn't know them.

However, from Zhang Chang's eccentric expression and the solemn atmosphere at the scene, the four of them felt that something serious must have happened. When they saw the jailers who were kneeling or hanging, their mood immediately sank to the bottom of the valley and stood there anxiously, everyone was in ulterior motives.

For Feng Kun and Xu Jie, if something happened in the prison, they would be the first to blame, while Ma Erlaizi and He Wei were extremely frightened. After seeing the male and female jailer kneeling there and the fat man with unknown life and death, they had already had a premonition that something had happened.

"He Sicheng, do you know why this commander came to you late at night?" Zhang Chang stared at the four of them expressionlessly for a while, and suddenly his face darkened. He slapped the agglomeration on the table and looked coldly at He Wei who was constantly wiping his forehead and sweating.

"Sir, I don't know." He Wei hurriedly walked out of the queue, bowed to Zhang Chang, and said calmly.

"He Sicheng, this commander asked you, do you know Sanqiao?" Zhang Chang asked calmly when he heard this.

"Sir, Sanqiao is a thief who was tried by the minister. He is now imprisoned in prison." He heard the words "Sanqiao", He Wei's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a look of horror flashed through his eyes. He was really afraid of anything he was going to get, and he said with a thorn.

"He Sicheng, what is suspicious about the case of Sanqiao?" Zhang Chang pondered for a moment and asked with a serious expression. His move was undoubtedly giving He Wei a chance. If He Wei was smart, he would continue to speak according to his wishes, overturn the case for Sanqiao, and then point the finger at Ma Erlaizi. In this way, his guilt would be relieved.

"Sir, the evidence of the three clever cases is conclusive and there is nothing suspicious about it." He Wei's eyes flashed after hearing this, and finally made up his mind and said loudly.

The benefits of taking Ma Erlaizi's 120 taels of silver were made tonight, and in addition to the three tricks, the matter was exposed to the night. If the investigation continues, not only will it be dismissed, but it will also be sent to prison. Naturally, I am frightened and extremely unwilling to accept it. Therefore, I decided to resist to the end, and there may be a glimmer of hope.

"I asked you, how do you determine that the three silver bills with a denomination of 100 taels are not three coincidences?" If you are seeking death, don't blame me for being ruthless. When Zhang Chang heard this, his eyes flashed with a cold tone and his tone was asked in a cold tone.

"My commander, Sanqiao is just a pickpocket without any relatives in the capital. How can he get three hundred taels of silver?" He Wei made up his mind, raised his head, and looked at Zhang Chang with righteousness. He had already inquired about Sanqiao's background before, and knew that she was a helpless orphan, so he took Ma Erlaizi's benefits with confidence and boldly accused Sanqiao.

"I heard that Sanqiao once said in the hall that the silver bill was funded by someone, so He Sicheng did not verify it?" Zhang Chang sneered in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"The commander, San Qiao, is so slick. The reason why she said this was just to get out. The official once checked that the people she knew were all peddlers and pawns, and it was impossible to know any rich people." He Wei was confident about this and talked to Zhang Chang, "Besides, three hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. How could anyone in the world give so much silver to a pickpocket? It's incredible!"

"Ma Jincai, how do you know that those silver bills are yours?" Zhang Chang frowned slightly when he heard this. It seemed that He Wei would not cry without seeing the coffin. Since Sanqiao has something to do with Zhao Yunan, it is not surprising that he could have three hundred taels of silver bills. He then turned to the middle-aged man with a sting-eyed look and shouted coldly.

"Reported to the adult, the villain's home was stolen and 300 taels of silver notes were lost. Therefore, he kept paying attention to the movements on the market and wanted to see if the thieves would sell the stolen goods." Ma Jincai hurriedly bowed and walked forward, saying to Zhang Chang with a smile, "Sure enough, hard work pays off. The villain found that a girl led a group of beggars to buy a house, so he secretly noticed that the girl named Sanqiao was a pickpocket, and the one she took out when she bought the house was exactly 300 taels of silver notes."

"You must have stolen your money by just the same amount?" Zhang Chang looked at Ma Jincai coldly when he heard this, "Since your home is stolen, have you ever reported it to the official?"

"Sir, in order to avoid alarming the enemy, the villain did not report the case." After Ma Erlaizi was stunned for a moment, a look of panic appeared on his face. He was originally accused of Sanqiao, how could he report to the district official? After his face changed a few times, he finally found an excuse and said to Zhang Chang, "The villain was not sure at first that the silver bill belonged to the villain, so he reported it to the official. Lord Si Cheng found out that she was stealing the villain's money."

"If you say this, Sanqiao really stole your money!" Seeing this, Zhang Chang showed a look of contempt on his lips and said calmly. He really looked down on someone like Ma Erlaizi in his heart, and he didn't even let go of the beggar's money.

"Sir, I know what to do." Ma Erlaizi nodded and bowed to Zhang Chang when he heard this. He believed that as long as he insisted that the three hundred taels of silver bill was his, no one could think of the case of Sanqiao.

"He Sicheng, have you asked the people in the prison to do something tonight?" Zhang Chang felt that Ma Erlaizi's face was extremely ugly at this time. He was too lazy to pay attention to this person, so he looked at He Wei standing beside him and asked in a deep voice.

"My commander, the official did not let the people in the prison do anything tonight." He Wei looked at Zhang Chang seriously when he heard this. He would not admit that he would let the fat man have nothing but Sanqiao. When he ordered the fat man, they were only the two of them. As long as he denied it, no one could prove that this matter was instructed by him.

"But someone proved that you asked them to do something illegal tonight." Zhang Chang had long expected He Wei to deny it, so he looked at him with a gaze.

"My commander, the subordinates are innocent. They must have falsely accused the subordinates." He Wei bowed to Zhang Chang solemnly and said loudly.

"Bring them both here." Looking at He Wei with an open and honest look, Zhang Chang did not bother with him, but pointed at the two prison guards kneeling under the tree at the sergeant beside him.

After a while, the two prisoners were brought over with fear and both knelt in front of Zhang Chang, with blood-colored faces.

"Say, who was instructing you to assassinate Sanqiao?" Zhang Chang looked at the two prison guards, reached out and slapped the arbor, and asked sternly.

"Qi...Qi reported to the commander, He...He Sicheng asked the young men to kill Miss Sanqiao. As long as Miss Sanqiao dies, the case she is involved in will be...completed." The two jailers were frightened by the sound of the auspicious wood. The round-faced jailers quickly looked up at Zhang Chang and said stammeringly.

"He Sicheng!" Zhang Chang turned his head and looked at He Wei who was standing there with a serious expression, "What he said is the truth?"

"My commander, this person is talking nonsense. The subordinate officials have no grudges or grudges. How can they harm him? This is a false accusation against the subordinates. Please be aware of it." He Wei bowed to Zhang Chang and said righteously.

"Do you know that it is a serious crime to frame Shangguan. In addition, you intend to murder Miss Sanqiao, I am afraid that you will not go to the northern border to drink yellow sand. You will just wait until Qiu Hou is pulled to the Caishikou for a crack." Zhang Chang knew that He Wei was resisting stubbornly, and sneered in his heart, turned to the round-faced jailer, and slapped the gavel hard.

"My commander, even if he is very brave, he dare not accuse Shangguan at this time. It was indeed He Sicheng who asked Zhang Touer to be the Sanqiao girl at night." At this time, the small-eyed jailer who was kneeling next to the round-faced jailer spoke. He spoke very quickly and reached out to take out a ingot of five taels of silver from his waist. "He Sicheng gave Zhang Tou twenty taels of silver, and Zhang Touer gave us five taels each."

Zhang Tou naturally refers to the fat man who was kicked by Tan Zong. He is the head of the prison. If he wants to do anything in the prison, he must pass him.

"I swear to the blood." As soon as the jailer finished speaking, He Wei glared at him and asked sternly, "I have no grudges and grudges with you. Why do you have to frame me like this? Is there someone instructing me behind the scenes?"

"He Sicheng is a little calm, and this commander will naturally give you justice." Seeing this, Zhang Chang said to He Wei, then looked at the round-faced jailer, pointed to the jailer with a small eye, and asked in a deep voice, "What he said just now is true. You have to tell the truth. If there is a half lie, this commander will never let go."

"My commander, everything he said just now is true, and the villain also collected five taels of silver." The round-faced jailer quickly took out a ingot of five taels of silver from his waist and showed it to Zhang Chang. He thought of something, and then said, "Zhang Touer originally wanted to kill San Qiaokang's mother directly, and then pretend to commit suicide fearlessness. However, after learning from the female prison that San Qiao was still a young man, Zhang Touer wanted to try it out and planned to break up for San Qiao."

"Come here, bring the purse on Zhang Laotou." Zhang Chang said in a deep voice at the sergeant beside him.

The soldier immediately ran to the fat man, took out his purse, and handed it to Zhang Chang. Zhang Chang opened it in public, and there was a twenty tael of silver bill and some broken silver inside.

"He Sicheng, do you think Zhang Laotou will carry a twenty tael silver note with you?" Zhang Chang picked up the twenty tael silver note and said meaningfully to He Wei.

Obviously, this silver note was given to Zhang Laotou by He Wei. Zhang Laotou had not returned home yet, so he didn't have time to put the silver note back. Otherwise, with Zhang Laotou, how could he get twenty taels of silver note at one time and carry the silver note with him.

There is one thing that Zhang Laotou did not tell the truth to the round-faced jailer and the small-eyed jailer. Then He Wei gave him thirty taels, a twenty taels of silver bill and two five taels of silver bills, and the silver bills were given to him, and the two five taels of silver were given the benefits of the help he found.

"My commander, the official is not sure why he did this." He Wei's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and then said in a deep voice.

"He Wei, you are still quibbling until now. You are absolutely unrepentant. It's so hateful." Hearing this, Zhang Chang suddenly looked dark, he reached out and slapped the agglomeration heavily, then pulled out a sign from the sign and threw it on the ground, and said coldly, "It seems that if the commander did not act as a great punishment, you will not confess. If someone comes, you will be punished twenty times."

"Mr. Commander, the subordinates are not convinced. The subordinates are wronged, and the subordinates are wronged." Several soldiers rushed forward immediately and pressed He Wei to the ground. He Wei struggled hard and shouted loudly.

"Hmph!" Looking at He Wei who was shouting, Zhang Chang couldn't help but snorted coldly. He didn't believe that He Wei's mouth was harder than the board.

"Mr. Zhang, since this person said he was wronged, why don't he convince him, so as not to say he was wronged at that time." He Wei's pants were then taken off. Seeing that the raised board was about to fall, Tan Zong suddenly came over and spoke to stop the execution.
