Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh by surprise

There was a noisy horse outside the mansion. Zhang Wenjin knew that it was Governor Jiang who had returned to the mansion, so he turned around and sat down in a reserved manner. Zhang Wenjin didn't want Jiang Anyi to see his guilt.

When Jiang Anyi's footsteps entered the lobby, Zhang Wenjin slowly stood up and bowed calmly, "I've seen Lord Jiang." Zhang Wenjin believed that he was also a fifth-rank official and was on the same level as Jiang Anyi, and refused to call himself a lower-rank official.

"Mr. Zhang is here. Your illness is getting better. Jiang is saying that he wants to take time to see Mr. Zhang." Jiang Anyi sat in the back of the court with a chill.

The yamen runners sent tea, and they were so busy that they were thirsty and hungry that day. Jiang Anyi was really worried about raising Zhang Wenjin and lowered his head to drink tea. Zhang Wenjin had a ghost in his heart. Seeing that Jiang Anyi had a cold face and said nothing, he was nervous and asked with a smile: "Sir, the official heard that a big case had occurred in the mansion and sent troops to the mansion. I wonder what the case was?"

The assistant of the governor was named because of his high status and he did not take the same car as the governor when he went on a tour. He was named because his status was second only to the governor, and although he was an assistant, he had his own yamen. What's more, Jiang Anyi was a temporary governor. Zhang Wenjin was not afraid of him, so Jiang Anyi was always called sick after taking office. In Zhang Wenjin's heart, he looked down on this grand governor.

"A trafficking population was found in Zhenxinan's farm." Jiang Anyi briefly told Zhang Wenjin about the case.

Zhang Wenjin pretended to be shocked and shouted: "How is this possible?"

Jiang Anyi looked at Zhang Wenjin with a smile. Zhang Wenjin hurriedly explained: "Sir, I don't know that Zhenxinan and I are sworn brothers, and I have some understanding of him. Zhenxinan Huazheng is upright, fair in his work, and has a chivalrous manner. He has also served as a record officer in the government office and is familiar with the law. If he wants to say that he does such a thing that is harmful to the heavens, Zhang really doesn't believe it."

"Oh, more than 20 children under the age of ten were found in the farm. They were all marked on the contracts of the sale. I wonder what Lord Zhang thinks?"

Zhang Wenjin said confidently: "Mr. Jiang, I know a little bit about this. Zhenxinan once asked me to play in his farm. His farm did take in some children under ten years old, but these people were orphans who had lost their parents, wandering on the streets and begging for a living. Hua Zheng took them in the farm, giving these people a bowl of food out of kindness, teaching them some skills, and allowing them to grow up and make a living. To be honest, Zhang was very moved after learning about Zhenxinan's kindness, and took the initiative to ask several girls from the farm to help do some good deeds. These girls are still in my mansion and learn to do some housework. I plan to let them go after they have the ability."

What is a master? This is a master. Yan Kaichen, Wang Xingren and others are far inferior to Zhang Wenjin. They are clever and eloquent, and they are not leaked. If Jiang Anyi had not learned some of the truth from Ma San and others, they would have been moved by Zhang Wenjin.

Jiang Anyi laughed and said, "That's how Zhenxi Nan comes to say that, he is kind-hearted, but what's going on with the sale of his body?"

Zhang Wenjin calmly responded: "Eighty times it is evil slaves who deceive their superiors and hide their subordinates and make profits from them. I heard from the west man in Zhenxi that he handed over the business of Yaxing by the butler Huaren, and most of these things were done by the butler behind his back."

The sound of footsteps outside the hall sounded, Hua Siyuan came in from outside, saluted the two, and said, "Sir, the prisoner has been detained in prison."

Jiang Anyi nodded and said meaningfully: "Sima Hua, you should be careful. This case is of great importance. You must be careful when someone is tampering with the jail. Maybe if a prisoner wakes up tomorrow morning, he will die of a violent death."

"Sir, please rest assured. I have arranged for the soldiers and prison guards to guard together. It should be fine." Hua Siyuan's eyes passed by Zhang Wenjin, and the smell of warning was full of warning. Zhang Wenjin secretly hated in his heart, knowing that Jiang Anyi and Hua Siyuan were both suspicious of themselves, and they originally planned to do something tonight.

After the three of them decided to go to the hall to ask about the case tomorrow, they each dispersed. Jiang Anyi came to the back house and the food was ready. Xinfei, An Yong and others were sitting at the table waiting for him to come back. The red candlelight shone on the smiling faces of the family, which was particularly warm.

"Brother, have you asked something? Should I send someone to catch the man in the west?" Jiang Anyong asked.

Jiang Anyi was squeezing rice in big mouths. After a day of busyness, he was so hungry that Xinfei thoughtfully held the vegetables for her husband and reminded him with heartache: "Slow down, be careful to choke, don't just squeezing rice, eat some food too. How does the fried egg taste like? I cook it."

"Delicious", Jiang Anyi praised casually, in return for Xinfei's smile. Jiang Anyi asked, "An Yong, did the village escape when you brought the troops?"

Jiang Anyong's heart sank. He had already had three points of luck. When he heard from his brother, he knew something was wrong and dared not hide it. He said, "Before I brought the troops, I saw a few people jumping over the wall from the south and running up the mountain. It was too far away and I couldn't catch it, so I didn't care."

After slapped the chopsticks heavily, Jiang Anyi said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me that I had misled my affairs? Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed in the farm for so long. Those people sent the news, Hua Zheng was prepared for a long time. I told me why Zhang Wenjin looked confident and had already discussed the countermeasures."

Jiang Anyong was so scared that he shrank his neck and did not dare to make a sound.

Siyu whispered to her husband: "Brother-in-law, the evidence is conclusive, even if they quibble, it will be useless."

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly and said, "The confessions asked so far are all directed at Huaren, the butler of Zhenxi Nanfu. I also blamed Huaren when I heard Zhang Wenjin's words. I guess Huazheng is ready."

"Then let's make a sudden trial overnight to prevent them from colluding with confessions." Xinfei reminded.

Jiang Anyi's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said, "No, the night is long and there are many dreams, and I'll be interrogated immediately. He Xigui, you go to find Sima Hua quietly and ask him to go to the mansion to ask about the case. He Xigui, Shi Tou."

He called He Xigui twice, but Shi Tou did not respond and buried his head in eating until he called Shi Tou. He woke up like a dream and agreed in a hurry, which made everyone laugh.

At the end of the Xu hour, the gate of the government office was closed, but the lobby was brightly lit. Jiang Anyi sat in the middle, and Hua Sima sat on the side, and there were "silent" and "avoid" on both sides of the case. There were tables and chairs in front of the ceremonial guards, and there were pens and ink for the clerks to record. The yamen runners were arranged in two sides. Because it was a temporary question, it was Yan Yi, the Sihu Army, tonight, to attend the military service, so he was present. Several small officials also came to the lobby to hear the drums. Zhou Tiancheng, the Si Prison, was ordered to go to the prison to bring in Ma San and other prisoners. The lobby of the governor's yamen was several times larger than that of the county yamen lobby. Dozens of people knelt down below and were not crowded. Jiang Anyi tapped the auspicious wood and shouted: "Take Ma San."

Ma San was shocked and scared, his body was trembling in a ball, and he crawled a few steps to the front of the case, shaking his voice and unable to say a complete sentence.

The lobby was brightly lit, and a black shadow flashed at the southwest corner wall. A moment later, a sound came from outside the wall. Someone jumped off the wall and walked away in a hurry.

"Ma San, please tell me what you offer during the day." In the lobby, the voice echoed and felt full of pressure. In the candlelight, Jiang Anyi's face was shady and sunny, similar to the mud statues in the Hall of the King of Hell. The yamen held water and fire sticks, and they were the little ghosts in the hall, and they had to choose people to eat them.

Ma San felt that he was almost fainting, and he stuttered again what he told during the day. The document was written like a flying turn, and Ma San's words were recorded on the record.

"Ma San, according to your offer, this man's business is run by Hua Ren, the housekeeper of Washington. Is it Hua Ren who was instructed to sell children under ten years old? Or is there someone else?"

"Sir, it was indeed Hua Ren's instructor. Hua Ren will discuss the accounts with the small ones every ten minutes, and those contracts sold by Hua Ren brought me."

When Jiang Anyi returned to the back house for a meal, someone had already communicated with Ma San and others, asking them to insist that they were instructed by Hua Ren and they must not be involved in Zhenxi Nan.

"Ma San, is your master Zhenxi Nan aware of it?"

"This, the young one is not clear." Ma San left a way out for himself, and except for being instructed by Hua Ren, he didn't know anything else.

When interrogating Hua An, the manager of the farm, he also insisted that he was arranged by Hua Ren. Those trafficking people were sent by the housekeeper, and he just took care of and accepted them. Jiang Anyi and Hua Siyuan looked at each other, and it seemed that the group of people had already made a confession and turned the blame to Hua Ren in unison.

Jiang Anyi retried the people from the Weiyuan Escort Agency and reported that it was delivery. Zhang Tiangang was careful when doing things. Every time he sent his children, he would send them in the middle of the night. He used the name of delivery and escorted something to cover up his eyes and ears. He didn't expect that he would really use it at this moment.

After asking for nothing, Jiang Anyi became anxious. The corpses of the children were always shaking in front of him. The life that was originally like a flower passed away quietly, which made people sigh. Thinking of Zhang Wenjin's righteous face, Jiang Anyi couldn't help but feel angry and reached out to the gavel, ready to torture.

Hua Siyuan saw that Jiang Anyi was a newbie in asking the case, and it was completely out of order. Indeed, Jiang Anyi was the magistrate of Fuluo County and only asked one case. He beat Zhang Putian to death in the same court, causing him a lot of trouble. Although Hua Siyuan himself could not ask the case, he heard from the former governor Ren Jingchen that what to do when asking the case is "two creations, and the master listens to five words". Do not torture and interrogate easily to prevent the torture and confession from being true.

"Cough cough", Hua Siyuan coughed softly, Jiang Anyi's hand stopped, and his eyes saw Hua Enyuan. Hua Siyuan reminded softly: "Hua Civilization."

Jiang Anyi woke up and the prisoners were locked in the prison of the government office. Hua Wenming had a special identity and did not take him to the prison. Instead, he was locked in a small house in the inn. Four soldiers were guarding him in front of the door, and he should not have communicated with him. It seemed that the gap would be opened from Hua Wenming.

Taking advantage of Si Zhuo’s time to promote civilization, Hua Siyuan stood up and came to Jiang Anyi and whispered: “Sir, you must have two things to do when asking a case, and the master listens to five words. Do not easily act as punishment, so as to prevent people from being given a handle.”

Jiang Anyi looked embarrassed and felt sad about the children's experiences. She was eager to bring Huazheng to justice, but she became a little confused. She asked both sides to come together to ask the case. Even Sima Hua understood this truth, but she forgot. Nodded gratefully at Hua Siyuan, Jiang Anyi took a deep breath and calmed down his irritable heart.

The Chinese Civilization has not mentioned that the gate of the state yamen was smashed and Zhang Wenjin rushed over in a furious manner.
