The Golden Age Chapter 884: Horror case

Qin Xiao looked puzzled. Although the prisoner had shaved heads and couldn't see his appearance, judging from the outline of his figure, he was not someone he knew well.

"My lord, this is the person who will show you." Xue Quan raised his finger to the prisoner: "This person's surname is Wu, his name is Xingzhong, and his current position is An Dongdu Guardian Ranger General, An Dongdu Another name for the Guardian is the Liaodong Army that everyone often calls!"

Qin Xiao's body was shocked, and he was surprised: "Liaodong Army?" Staring at the prisoner, he was even more surprised.

Since he is a guerrilla general of the Liaodong Army, how can he be imprisoned here in purple clothes, or even tortured?

Qin Xiao was even more surprised that the prisoner in purple clothes interrogated this person. No matter what the person committed, it has nothing to do with him. After all, he and the Liaodong Army were not involved in the slightest. Why did the prisoner in purple clothes invite himself?

"Xue Shaojian, is this...?" Qin Xiao was about to ask, but Xue Quan smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the Lord, as early as a few months ago, we got a news that Changli County, Northeast China A town under its jurisdiction was attacked by Montenegrin bandits. Almost all of the more than 400 people in the town, young and old, were slaughtered by the Montenegrin bandits, and all their belongings were looted. Soon thereafter, the Anton Protectorate submitted a petition. Zhezi, the Liaodong Army suppressed the Black Mountain bandits and decapitated more than 600, for which the saint also gave a special reward. At that time, the Xiling Rebellion occurred not long after, and then there was the Jiangnan Rebellion, so the court did not pay much attention to this matter."

"Black Mountain Bandit?"

Xue Quan explained: "My Lord did not know that the Black Mountain bandits in Liaodong had existed more than ten years ago. In those years, there was a severe drought in Liaodong, which caused a sharp drop in food and many people sold children and girls. The situation was a bit chaotic. Although the court allocated food for disaster relief, many people who spoiled drugs fell into the grass and became bandits that harm the Northeast. In the beginning, these bandits fought independently and could not become a major climate. However, after a few years, Montenegro. The bandit forces in China are on the rise. Many bandits have nowhere to go. They all rush to the Black Mountain bandits. As far as we know, the Black Mountain bandits now gather tens of thousands of horses and become one of the most powerful bandits in the Northeast."

"So, the Black Mountain bandits are sitting under the nose of the Liaodong Army?" Qin Xiao frowned.

Xue Quan said: "The Liaodong Army has reported frequent successes. The court has rewarded the Liaodong Army with a lot of rewards. However, these bandits have fought more and more, and they have become stronger. A few years ago, it was reported that thousands of officers and soldiers had been hit by hundreds. The black mountain bandits chased them and fled, but the Anton Protectorate will naturally not report this matter to the top. It just spreads from there. The true or false still needs to be investigated."

If Su Yu had not mentioned the Liaodong Army to Qin Xiao before, Qin Xiao would have been mentally prepared, otherwise he would have heard such news at this time, and he would have not believed it.

"So what's the reason why Xue Shaojian brought me to see him today?" Qin Xiao looked at Wu Xingzhong, the **** Ranger General, and wondered: "He is the Ranger General of the Eastern Liaoning Army, but why was he Imprisoned here?"

"The Bohai delegation entered Beijing, and the Anton Protectorate sent five hundred people to **** them into Beijing." Xue Quan held behind his back with one hand and slowly said: "The **** is General Mingwei, and Wu Xingzhong is his subordinate. He was also accompanied by an escort. After entering Beijing, this person secretly left the camp and took a few people to disguise themselves in the band. He was taken back to the Yamen in the middle of the night. General Mingwei sent someone to find it. Naturally, he could not find it. He went to the Ministry of War. After filing, the Ministry of Defense made the Kyoto Prefecture responsible for finding the whereabouts of this person. When the Bohai delegation left Beijing, the Liaodong army had to be responsible for escorting, and they had to leave this person behind and return to Liaodong."

Qin Xiao came to understand and smiled: "Did you secretly arrest him?"

"Currently, there are only a handful of people who know that this person is in the hands of the Prisoner of the Purple Clothes." Xue Quan smiled and said: "I invite Sir Alex to come over today to let Sir Alex know some information."

"Me?" Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "Is Xue Shaojian asking me to help with the trial? I am no longer from Dali Temple, so I can't help."

Xue Quan looked at Wu Xingzhong and said lightly: "General Wu, Uzbekistan

The truth about the homicide in Shazhen, I will bother you to say it again. "

Wu Xingzhong said weakly and weakly: "We...we were ordered by General Huangfu. Eight hundred people dressed up as Black Mountain bandits and slew into Wusha Town at night. General Huangfu has. Let’s say that one head can receive two taels of silver. After entering the city, regardless of men, women, and children, they will kill when they see people...!"

Qin Xiao's face changed suddenly. Although Xue Quan had only faintly guessed when he informed of the murder, Wu Xingzhong's confession really made Qin Xiao amazed.

"Before daybreak, we...we evacuated the town, changed our clothes halfway, and returned to the barracks." Wu Xingzhong's voice was weak, and he kept his head down, confessing unintentionally like reciting an article: "Participate in this. The officers and soldiers involved in the incident can't say a word... can't spit it out. All the looted property was handed over, but everyone was rewarded...!"

Qin Xiao's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Why slaughter the people?"

"We..... We are all following orders, why...why? No...!" Wu Xingzhong hadn't finished speaking yet, the entourage had already picked up a wooden barrel. , Poured a bucket of water directly at Wu Xingzhong, part of the broken ice in the water, and ice water splashed on Wu Xingzhong's naked body, Wu Xingzhong's body trembled violently and shivered.

"Calm down and talk." Xue Quan didn't change his face, calmly said: "You know where you are. You have been in the prison of the Purple Clothes Prison. If you still can't honestly confess, you may not be able to live regardless of your identity. Leave."

Wu Xingzhong lifted his head strenuously, his teeth trembling and said: "I...I all confessed, yes... to ask the court for credit!"

"So you slaughtered the town to kill the good and ask for merit?" Xue Quan said lightly.

"The general said that bandits were rampant. The Liaodong Army had a year...More than a year, it had not reported to the court, and...and the Ministry of Defense has repeatedly asked about the suppression of the bandits... !" Wu Xingzhong had no gods in his eyes and seemed to be desperate, and said softly: "Need...need to give the court an explanation...!"

Qin Xiao sneered: "Since the bandits are rampant, why don't you go to kill the bandits, but do good work?"

"Can't fight." Wu Xingzhong said weakly: "Black Mountain bandits...Black Mountain bandits are not afraid of death. They...They are fierce and unusual. Fighting against them will definitely...definitely die a lot. People, big...Everyone has a family and a career..., no one wants to die in the hands of the Black Mountain bandits...!"

When Qin Xiao heard this, he only found it incredible.

The Liaodong Army led the army’s salaries, flavourful and spicy, and set up fields in the northeast. All this is to hope that this group of soldiers can perform their duties, not only to protect the border of the empire from invasion by foreign enemies, but also to Protect the safety of the people on one side and keep them from being harmed by bandits.

However, in order to deal with the court, the Liaodong Army did not dare to fight with the Black Mountain bandits. In order to save their lives, they went to slaughter the people. Not only did they use this to frame the Black Mountain bandits, but also used the heads of innocent people to pretend to be bandits to the court. achievement.

Although he had previously learned from Su Yu that the Liaodong Army today was not the same Datang cavalry that swept the Bohai Sea back then, he never thought that this soldier and horse would be so shameless and degenerate.

If what Wu Xingzhong said is true, this is of course a sensational case.

"Xue Shaojin, you have mastered the truth of this case, so arrest this person?" Qin Xiao understood: "Is this to use him as a witness?"

Xue Quan shook his head and said: "The Ziyi Prison has limited manpower. Although there are people in the northeast, the details of this case are not clear. However, we learned the time when the Liaodong Army asked the court for merit, and then received Wusha. The news of the town being attacked by the Black Mountain bandits, check carefully, Wusha Town

Only two days after the murder occurred, the An Dong Duhu Mansion sent someone to the court to request meritorious deeds. Although there is no evidence, we suspect that there is a quirk between these two things, but there were so many things at hand that we did not specifically investigate the matter. "Looking at Wu Xingzhong, who was dying, said slowly: "It happened that this time the Bohai delegation entered Beijing, and the Liaodong Army sent people to **** them. After they entered Beijing, someone from the Ziyi Prison secretly stared at them and discovered that Wu Xingzhong had led people to leave the station and went to the band. After a few cups of wine, he boasted in Lefang that he was a general of the Liaodong Army. "

Qin Xiao sneered, and only heard Xue Quan continue to say: "His words were all heard clearly by our people. After the report came back, I looked for the opportunity to bring him back that night, just to ask Wusha. What is the situation in the town’s homicide case?"

"So the Supervisor Ziyi judges the case first, and when there is no evidence, he gets testimony after arresting people and torture?" Qin Xiao sighed: "Supervisor Ziyi's style of work is really different."

"Finding evidence and then convicting it is a matter of the Three Laws Division." The entourage said gloomily: "As long as there is doubt, he can use all means to arrest people before looking for evidence. Of course, if we are sure who Guilty, no evidence is needed, and execution can be done."

Qin Xiao gave a thumbs up, thinking that it is no wonder everyone in the purple clothes is fearful like a ghost.

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs has changed in conversation, but even if those guys want to punish people, even if they falsify evidence, they have to show evidence. The prison in purple clothes is good. If you want to kill people, you don’t need evidence. This kind of yamen really doesn’t dare. offend.

"Is there any possibility of being defeated?" Qin Xiao frowned, "This person fabricated the facts only to avoid punishment. It is not a fact that the people in Wusha Town were killed by the black mountain bandits. ?"

Xue Quan smiled and said: "It is only natural for Sir Alex to have this doubt. But I can assure Sir Alex responsibly that after our interrogation, the prisoners will only tell the truth, and Sir Alex can trust him. Every word spoken."

"Then Shaojian Xue asked me to come today, and why?" Qin Xiao said, "Let me be involved in this case? But since you have asked and confessed, there are no other problems. If you have witnesses, you can directly. Convict the officers and soldiers who killed innocent people. By the way, who is that General Huangfu?"

"The Liaodong Army was commanded by the Returned General Wang Xingchao. Although the Anton Protectorate had the power to control the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army had the final say. Without Wang Xingchao’s military order, the Anton Protectorate could not move. The Liaodong Army has one soldier and one soldier." Xue Quan explained: "Huangfu Yunzhao is a powerful general under Wang Xingchao's command. He has achieved martial arts, wisdom and courage, and his ancestor was also a famous general who conquered the Bohai country."

Qin Xiao sneered and said: "If this matter is really what he did, his ancestors under Jiuquan will really suffer humiliation because of him. Xue Shaojian, does the saint know about this case? How to deal with Huangfu Yunzhao? And, Is the Liaodong army chief Wang Xingchao clear about the truth of this case, and is he involved in it?"

"My Lord, I invite you to come here today to let you understand the truth of the Wusha Town case." Xue Quan said, "This is not the meaning of the Purple Clothes Prison, but the meaning of the saint. The saint has a purpose, please first please Sir Alex came to learn about the case, and when he was clear, he immediately went into the palace and the saint was waiting for you in the palace."

Qin Xiao was surprised: "Is the saint's will? The saint is waiting for me?"

"If there is anything you don't understand, Sir Alex, you can ask." Xue Quan said: "If it is clear and there is no problem, you can enter the palace now."

Qin Xiao was even more puzzled, frowning and said: "Why did the saint let me know about this case? The facts of the case are already clear, and it is your Ziyi Superintendent who is investigating it. The court will decide how to deal with the criminals. I... .... What can I do if I know?"

"We can't answer these questions." Xue Quan smiled and said: "Perhaps after entering the palace, the saint will tell Sir Alex."
