My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 970

[Chapter 943 You haven’t even asked yet]

The lunch meal was indeed sumptuous enough. During the meal, Zhou Gui wanted to have some drinks with Jing Zhe, but Jing Zhe refused.

Of course, Jing Zhe did not say that he had to do things in the afternoon because he was afraid that he would not be able to do things after drinking because he was not good at drinking. Instead, he said that the wine in Ruzhou was not good and he could not get used to it.

He also promised Zhou Gui that in a few days, high-quality spirits would be available for sale in Ruzhou City. At that time, he would give Zhou Gui a few jars and then get drunk with Zhou Gui before resting.

Zhou Guike didn’t know that strong liquor was on the streets in Jingzhou. He thought that liquor could only be drunk by the royal family, so after hearing Jing Zhe’s promise, he said it was good, but he was not optimistic about it in his heart. He just thought that the young man was talking big words.

After eating, Jing Zhe left Zhou’s house.

Next, he went directly to the governor’s station.

Yu Li attached great importance to the newly captured Magistrate Liu and Shopkeeper Hu. He also knew that Jing Zhe would definitely come, so after capturing them, he locked them in a cell alone and did not allow outsiders to visit. Stay at the station and wait for Jing Zhe to come.

Sure enough, just after noon, Jing Zhe came.

“Governor Yu, has anyone been here?”

Seeing Yu Li shaking his head, Jing Zhe was a little curious. He thought that Crown Prince Yu would definitely lose his composure and run over.

“Then I’ll go take a look first!”

“Okay, President Jing, let me lead the way!”

Because he had already entered the station and there were officers and soldiers around him, Yu Li’s title for Jing Zhe became official again.

On the way, Yu Li couldn’t help but said curiously: “President Jing, from the experience of the following officials, if you want to interrogate them, it is actually best to separate the two of them. Firstly, it will prevent them from colluding in confession, and secondly, it can impose pressure on them.” Pressure to speed up their confession. “

The account books of Juxian Tower were burned, which shows that many shady activities were recorded in these accounts, and Shopkeeper Hu and Magistrate Liu must be very aware of it. Now that they have been arrested, they will naturally be interrogated.

Yu Li had been an official for many years and had interrogated many important criminals. He thought it was best to lock the two of them separately, but Jing Zhe told him to lock them together.

Because there were many people in Juxian Tower, Jing Zhe said it, and Yu Li didn’t refute it. He came back and did it. Now that there were no outsiders, he asked the question in his mind.

“Indeed, it is better to interrogate two people separately.”

Jing Zhe laughed after hearing this, but he immediately changed the topic: “But I didn’t want to interrogate them at all!”

“I didn’t want to… interrogate them?”

Yu Lidu was a little bit I wonder if I am too old to understand Jing Zhe’s operations.

“Yes, I didn’t want to interrogate him. Because they know it, and I know it too, and there’s no point in interrogating it.”

“But only what comes out of the interrogation… is the evidence!”

Jing Zhe grinned after hearing this.

“Let’s arrest them two. Do we need evidence?”

Yu Li was stunned and quickly shook his head.

To be precise, when they arrested Shopkeeper Hu and Magistrate Liu in Juxian Tower, they did not need any evidence. They were arrested directly on the charge of framing the imperial officials. Even Prince Yu could not plead for mercy. This shows that Jing Zhe was not right. Fake.

“It’s just that you don’t need evidence to arrest some people, but some people can’t be arrested even if they have evidence.”

“…”

Because Yu Li and his brother Yu Sheng corresponded frequently, and they knew a little bit about certain things, they naturally knew it. There is a close relationship between King Yu and King Jin, so it is clear who Jing Zhe wants to arrest.

“Whatever President Jing has in mind, just give him the order! The subordinates will cooperate fully and do whatever it takes, no matter what!”

This was a bit of a show of loyalty. When Jing Zhe heard this, he patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear. After hearing this, Yi Li’s face was full of shock.

No wonder he was able to reach the second rank at such a young age. It is rare for ordinary people to have such a thoughtful mind!

…

Jing Zhe entered the prison, while Yu Li stayed outside.

It is said to be a sky prison, but actually it is more appropriate to call it a dungeon, because most of these cells are built underground, and only the roof is higher than the ground. The windows close to the ground do not let in much sunlight at all. Even during the day, it is dark inside, so it must be lit. Just put on the lights.

At this time, Magistrate Liu and Shopkeeper Hu had already put on prison uniforms and were huddled in the corner. It had only been less than half a day since they were arrested, but they looked as miserable as if they had been locked up for half a year.

When they heard the door open, they immediately looked up.

When he saw it was Jing Zhe, his head dropped again, with disappointment in his eyes that couldn’t be concealed.

“Why, do you think that someone else will come to see you?”

“Stop dreaming. When you are imprisoned, no one will be able to save you!”

“You will be lenient if you confess, and strict if you resist. Waiting for you In addition to beheading, he just confessed!”

“…”

Yu Li outside the door was shocked when he heard this: Didn’t he just say that he would not be interrogated? Why did you let me confess again? This operation is becoming increasingly incomprehensible…

The two of them still lowered their heads and did not speak.

At this time, Jing Zhe said again: “You two just wanted to die, right? You are considered men, and I admire you! But it’s just pity for your family, and you have to be buried with them.”

Hearing that his family members were buried with him, he was silent just now The two people who were silent jumped up instantly.

“Why are my family members buried with me?”

“Even if we commit a crime, it’s our fault, so what do we have to do with them?”

the two said dissatisfied.

Jing Zhe continued tepidly: “Because, I have a habit of interrogating prisoners. As long as I ask but don’t tell anything, I feel that the prisoner’s family members must also be accomplices. They often follow the prisoner to do bad things. So it’s okay to kill them together!”

“…”

This kind of interrogation method is really unheard of.

Magistrate Liu and Shopkeeper Hu were completely numb.

When the two of them were caught, they didn’t have much fear, because they felt that Prince Yu would definitely save them. Although Jing Zhezheng’s second-grade official position was not small, it was not as good as the crown prince!

But half a day passed, and Prince Yu did not show up, which gave them some bad premonitions. Although the two did not communicate, they had already made the worst plan – to be beheaded.

Of course, once a person dies, a hundred will be lost. They hope that Prince Yu can treat their family well. This is their last wish.

But Jing Zhe came up and wanted to kill their whole family, which immediately made them collapse.

Magistrate Liu gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind that he could not let his family be buried with him!

Then he said: “Didn’t President Jing say that only those prisoners who ask but refuse to tell will be buried with their families?”

“Yes, that’s you.”

Shopkeeper Hu almost cried: “But, You haven’t asked yet!”

Jing Zhe was stunned for a moment, “Didn’t I ask?”

The two nodded hurriedly, thinking that you have been threatening us since you entered the house. When did you ask?

“I won’t tell you if I ask you anyway. I won’t ask anymore.”

“…”
