When Old Lady Zhou heard this, she couldn't help but feel fear.

So in panic, he couldn't help but whistle at the sky: "This must be the thief Zhang Jingyi wants to harm me, he wants to occupy my home."

So he hurriedly told his son Zhou Yingtong: "Hurry, hurry up, write a book for your cousin, your father-in-law and others... tell them... I was caught by a traitor..."

But Zhou Yingtong was being pressed down and unable to move!

The officer sneered: "Writing a letter? This is great, but now he cannot write a letter. His son is also a serious offender, so he will take it down together."

These servants are like wolves and tigers, and are holding on to the open fire.

In fact, the officers are the most slick in the local area. They flatter Shangguan and are not close to the people. When they meet gentry, they are often shorter. People like this know how to observe their expressions and expressions. Just by arresting prisoners, you only need to look at Shangguan's attitude and immediately understand how the person to be arrested should be dealt with.

Today, this servant did not give any kindness to him, and did not take people like the Zhou family seriously at all. This was impossible in the past.

In the past, even if someone in the Zhou family committed a crime and came to arrest people, they would have given all their etiquette, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him. He was just doing his orders and was able to take care of him during the arrest process and he would definitely take care of him.

After all, they are not fools. Such families are often deeply rooted. If they make mistakes on them, they will be caught and will not cure their enemies or you will be a mere servant?

But today's attitude is obviously because someone has already observed his expression and expression, and what he knows about it.

All the people from the Zhou family wanted to take Wudingzhou.

In the prefecture, three squads of the service have already been in place.

The county magistrate of Xinyang County was called to the prefecture early in the morning. He thought something was wrong with the prefect. But who knew that when the person arrived, he was under house arrest and was only allowed to have tea in the small hall. Outside, there was a team of soldiers who specially dispatched the inspection department.

At this time, the Shandong Censor Zhou Jin and the Wuding Prefecture Yang Gong had already sat down. They were whispering something, with serious expressions.

Immediately afterwards, someone said: "The Zhou family members arrived."

Zhou Jin and Yang Gong looked at each other, showing meaningful expressions.

Zhou Jin said lightly: "Brother Yang, you go and do it."

"Yes." Yang Gong nodded.

Then he went to the main hall to get promoted, and three squads of staff gathered.

Not long after, Old Lady Zhou was taken in.

Yang Gong just sneered at him and said, "Who is coming?"

"Xinyang County Student..."

"There are no students here, today's case is being tried." Yang Gong shouted loudly and gave a warning directly.

"But I am indeed a scholar who is famous..."

"It's not anymore." Yang Gong said lightly: "Just an hour ago, the county school official has already dismissed your fame."

Hearing this, Old Lady Zhou almost fainted, and then shouted angrily: "I am obedient and self-righteous, why did you change my fame? What are you doing? Are you going to be accomplices for the tiger? Zhang Jingyi is still able to use his command..."

"Shut up!" Yang Gong said sternly: "What does the relationship between the prince of Liaodong and me? Today I am asking you about the dangers of the countryside and gathering people to rebel."

When Mrs. Zhou heard the word "rebellion", she was so scared that her face turned green and immediately shouted excitedly: "No...no...what are you talking nonsense? I am nearly 70 years old, why are you planning to rebel? This is a slander!"

"Is that true?" Yang Gong sneered: "Then you have recruited so many rural brave men in the village to cut bamboo into spears. What are you going to do?"

Old Mrs. Zhou felt the problem was serious and immediately said: "Bandits are everywhere, and all the gentry families in various prefectures and counties recruit villages to protect themselves. Isn't this a matter of course? Who doesn't do this now?"

This is the truth.

Although the bandits did not rage in the Shandong Provincial Administration and the General Office, there were still a small number of bandits rampant.

After all, the land and land of local gentry are not in the city, so in order to protect their own property, they often recruit some rural brave men. This kind of thing has actually begun to appear since the beginning of the Wanli year.

Old Mrs. Zhou only thought it was ridiculous and actually used this reason.

Yang Gong had no expression on his face and said, "Don't argue. It seems that you still dare to deny it now. You are no longer an extraordinary thief. The person who comes... is punished."

A command.

The officers immediately stepped forward and pressed the old lady Zhou to the ground.

Old Mrs. Zhou was startled and shouted: "I have fame and fortune..."

Bang...

A servant raised the ticket card and directly held it on his mouth.

His teeth fell off immediately, his mouth was covered in blood, and he said vaguely, as if: "Zhang Jingyi...you...you thief..."

However, Yang Gong was still expressionless and just looked at Zhou Taigong coldly, and he would curse him whatever he wanted.

Crack down one by one.

Zhou Taigong could no longer bear it, and only sobbed.

Yang Gong looked at him, and the servants stepped down, and then he said, "Now, do you explain why you want to recruit rural brave men and why you want to build a village? Your family has so many bamboo spears and food. What do you mean? And... Are you doing abuses the people everywhere and occupying people's fields? Your son... what is the current saint on weekdays? Do you dare to say it again? At this point, do you still want to deny it? I really think that this official can't punish you?"

Zhou Taigong just wailed.

But he was not stupid either. At this time, he admitted to the rebellion, which meant that he had killed his whole family.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth, but he could not resist the pain of flesh and blood, so he vaguely said: "Please spare your life, please spare your life..."

Yang Gongfu said, "You can survive such a punishment. Do you still say you have not colluded with bandits? If you were an ordinary refugee, you would have admitted it. It can be seen that I did not take the wrong person, come and continue to fight for me."

The officers all stepped forward and beat them again.

However, Zhou Taigong refused to admit it even though he died.

He then laughed wildly and said, "Hahahahahahaha... You are actually framed by me so much. No wonder everyone says that Zhang Jing is not as good as a dog... It's indeed a traitor! If I want me to admit my rebellion, how could I admit my age of surviving?"

He was talking, but at this moment, a terrible cry came from next door.

After a while, a servant hurriedly came forward with a confession and said, "Magistrate, his son confessed."

Zhou Taigong: “…”

Yang Gong reached out and the servant sent the confession. Yang Gong took a look and said, "My surname is Zhou, look... there is a signature of your son on it, saying that you have been colluding with bandits and planning to rebel, and that all this is what you do... It's you crazy..."

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he immediately understood what his son meant.

This means he is taking responsibility. Anyway, he is old and useless, so I am afraid it will be difficult to survive the punishment, so this is the worst solution.

But Zhou Taigong did not blame his son for using himself as a scapegoat, but he still cried and cursed: "This bastard, this bastard, don't he know... Anyone who commits a rebellion will bring disaster to the whole family?"

After saying that, he fainted after a moment of anxiety.

Yang Gong couldn't help frowning, stood up, glanced at the civil servant beside him, showed a disgusting expression, and said, "Since the person is fainted, let him sign and seal it. This is a case, and it is not careless. We are not despicable as factory guards. We still have to tell evidence and confessions in everything!"

"Yes." The clerk did not dare to be negligent, so he immediately started writing, and soon wrote a confession letter, and then sent it to Yang Gong.

Yang Gong took a look and criticized the mistake: "Don't write about him confessing as soon as he passed the court. Since he is a vicious thief, he should show his spirit in this church. He should laugh wildly when he was tortured, and say that he will still be a hero in 18 years. When interrogating him, he has to scold him... Do you also need my official to teach you these?"

The clerk nodded, then hurriedly returned to the desk, took out a new paper, and began to write a "small composition".

After writing, he sent it to Yang Gong.

Yang Gong only took a look, then nodded and said, "It's almost done, let him take a picture."

The civil servant then took the confession and walked directly to the fainting Duke Zhou Tai.

Then he grabbed Zhou Taigong's finger and pressed the ink first.

But at this moment, Zhou Taigong suddenly woke up. He seemed to realize something and wanted to retract his hand like a conditioned reflex.

So, seven or eight officers stepped forward together, pressed him tightly, and grabbed his wrist with several big hands, asking him to press down on the finger.

Zhou Taigong howled sadly: "It's wronged, it's strange and unjust!"

Yang Gong stood up, looked at him faintly, and said disdainfully: "Injustice? There are really few unjust in the world. Do you not know what you have done on weekdays? The reason for your rebellion is not to have to wrong you, but if you use your usual sins to punish it, it will inevitably involve many of your peers in this state. Otherwise, what is the difference between the activities you have done in Xinyang County and the rebellion? Well, to this day, I have to suffer a lot of your Zhou family, take them down and withdraw!"

Yang Gong immediately took the confession, quickly walked to the other hall, and respectfully delivered the confession to the censor Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin looked down and couldn't help but comment: "Eighteen years later, I'm a hero again. This is not appropriate. This is what the bandit said. After all, this person has had fame and fortune, which is really inconsistent. According to my official's opinion, it would be better to use the words "There are changes in the number of days, and the magical artifacts are easier, and it is natural for people to return to virtuous people."

Yang Gong immediately said, "My brother is confused and didn't expect this level. Fortunately, Brother Xian gave me some advice, so Brother Yu went there again and asked him to re-print it."

Zhou Jin waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this doesn't matter. What's important is that these people with the surname Zhou... they all have to die!"
