Chapter 786

Tang County order also taught him, "in a small village and small town, nothing can be concealed from the local chief. You can ask the chief. If you still can't ask, find a timid and poor villager in the village, catch people for any reason and scare them."

"When you try a case, you should also take some skills. If you catch someone, don't ask step by step. Just ask a question you want to know most and believe that the other party must know. Even if you can't get the answer from his mouth, you should know the answer from his face and eyes."

Tang county magistrate knows that his classmate and friend is not familiar with the name of the criminal case, and Luojiang county is a small county. I'm afraid there may not be a homicide case in three years. It's impossible to expect him to accumulate more criminal case experience in his three years of life as a county magistrate.

So Tang County order asked in the letter, "why, are there any major theft or robbery cases in your county? Shall I go to your county on business for a few days to help you? "

Yang county magistrate directly put this question aside and began to think about it.

Thinking that he had several days to go out and that there was still time, he asked someone to call the head of Qili Village.

In less than half an hour, county magistrate Yang sent the chief out. He watched the chief go far, and the young man Wantian stood behind.

They all left. Seeing that the young master was still motionless, Wantian asked, "young master, don't we go back? I really don't know. "

"Don't you know?" Yang county magistrate lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before muttering, "but I always feel that he is lying to me."

Wan Tian scratched his head. "The chief has always been very respectful. What did the young master ask and answer? Where did he cheat you?"

County Magistrate Yang smiled, "maybe I think too much. By the way, man Bao said before, what's the name of the poorest family in their village? The one who is lazy and likes gambling. "

Wan Tianji's skill is always good. He thought and said, "there seems to be a nickname called mangtou. He is a generation younger than Miss man."

Yang county magistrate nodded and said, "let the servant pay attention. He will come back to the county to gamble and bring him here."

He thought that he would have to wait until he came back from the capital to see people. After all, Qili Village is not very close to the county. It is still in the first month. Even if the other party is good at gambling, it is impossible to come to the county.

Who knows, he ordered them to go down. The Yamen servants went round the street of the gambling house and caught the mangy head with shrunk neck.

Yang county magistrate almost sprayed the tea in his mouth. After staring at the dirty mangy head for a while, he asked, "it's only the 17th day of the first month. Why did you go out and gamble?"

The scabby head knelt on the ground with a crack and kowtowed repeatedly: "I dare not dare again in the future. I beg the county magistrate to spare my life, the county magistrate to spare my life..."

Yang county magistrate stretched out his hand to interrupt him, but found that the other party was only kowtowing and didn't look at him at all, so he took his hand back and let him kowtow.

The scabby head kowtowed and kowtowed for a long time. His forehead hurt and his head fainted. Seeing that the people sitting on it had been silent, he stopped and quietly raised his head to look at the past.

County Magistrate Yang smiled at him and asked, "can you talk well?"

The scabby head nodded and said in a trembling voice, "what adults want to ask, small ones must answer honestly."

Yang county magistrate asked, "then you tell this county first, how did you come out to gamble in the first month?"

The scabby head whispered, "the little one has nothing to do at home, so he wants to earn a little home..."

"Do you earn your family by gambling?" County Magistrate Yang sneered, "did you earn it?"

The scabby head turned red and lowered his head to shake his head.

County Magistrate Yang asked, "where did the money come from?"

"It's the new year, and there's still some savings in the family..." in the colder and colder eyes of county magistrate Yang, the scabby head gradually disappeared.

County Magistrate Yang thought of what man Bao said to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang that night and pondered. He didn't know what would happen if he banned gambling in the whole county.

Dajin can't help gambling, cockfighting, dice, and even fighting with living people. As long as the casino has the documents given by the yamen, it is legal.

It is impossible to ban gambling in the whole country. A small county magistrate can't do this. I'm afraid the two lords can't do it together.

But it is still very possible to ban gambling in Luojiang county.

As a local parent official, he has the right to increase these rules.

County Magistrate Yang looked at the mang head and began to ponder.

Seeing that the county magistrate didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't help fighting. He kowtowed tremblingly and said, "my Lord, I know I'm wrong, so I won't dare again in the future."

Yang county magistrate took a cup of tea and said, "Oh? I'll try it now. I'll ask you some questions. If you answer truthfully, I'll trust you for the time being. "

The scabby head nodded again and again, looking at county magistrate Yang with eager eyes.

Yang county magistrate smiled, leaned forward slightly, stared at him tightly and asked, "I ask you, has Zhou Yin returned to Qili Village?"

The mangy head suddenly heard Zhou Yin's name, and his face was so scared that he stammered and asked, "Zhou, Zhou yin?"

"Don't you recognize Zhou yin? Isn't he your neighbor? "

The scabby head swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and a cold sweat came from his forehead. County magistrate Yang patted the table and asked, "don't talk quickly!"

The scabby head was so frightened that the whole person fell on the ground, tears and snot flowed together, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I, I haven't seen him, I haven't seen him..."

He said that he had never seen it before. Even the old officials guarding the gate were dazed at the door, not to mention county magistrate Yang.

He asked in a deep voice, "I dare to lie. The county has made it clear that Zhou Yin returned to Qili Village in which year and month?"

The scabby head shook his head and cried, "no, I don't know. Don't ask me, I, I really don't know..."

Yang county magistrate squinted at him, left a signature and said, "come on, take him to wake up."

Then a yamen came up to drag him down. When he found that he was paralyzed and couldn't push, he recruited another man to drag him down.

The Yamen servant splashed cold water on his face and casually took a rag to wipe his face. Let alone, he really cleaned his dirty face.

But when I washed my face with cold water in the first lunar month, the cold water also splashed on my neck, making my head tremble with cold, and I woke up.

This sober, his face more blue and white.

The Yamen servant dragged people back to the lobby.

Yang county magistrate got down from his seat, walked to his side, squatted down to look at him, stared into his eyes and asked, "this county doesn't like torture, but if you force this county, it's not impossible for this county. Come on, tell him about the eighteen punishments in the county yamen."
