Chapter eight hundred and fifty sixth witnesses and physical evidence
Chapter 856: Personal evidence
The scene was so chaotic that someone rushed out and knelt down, saying that he would save Xiaomin's child, and he really added a handful of firewood to the hot pot. Those who watched the fun couldn't stand it.
For Wang Tong, this was a sleepy pillow. The man rushed out. This man was wearing a silk gown. This man rushed out. A few constables knew each other and said in confusion:
"Mr. Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
When asked here, Wang Tong found out that this young man was a large silk merchant in Changzhou Prefecture. He had more than a dozen silk shops and was also a celebrity in Changzhou Prefecture. What trouble does such a person really have? Just report to the official. Why do you need to stop the officials and call for injustice at this time?
"Xiaomin's only son was plundered by the monk from Puyuan Temple, saying that he had a Buddhist connection. If he wanted the child to go home, he would have to pay 10,000 taels of silver to redeem himself from the Buddha."
As early as in Jiangbei, Wang Tong heard from Lu Da that Monk Puyuan had plundered children from the city and went to the temple to extort money, but he didn't expect that he could see it. Wang Tong smiled immediately, looked up at the pagoda, and said:
"Your child should be locked in that tower."
Prefect Luo's expression was much more normal on the side. The more evil deeds there were in Puyuan Temple, the easier it would be to explain these things. When Wang Tong was arranging the service there, he said there:
"I don't care about the amount of the seizure of the temple, and the land of the temple is also ignored, but I don't care about it, but I have to sell it to several businessmen at a cheap price."
Hearing this, Prefect Luo was greatly inspired. The temple was a duty-free place, and there were also a lot of land sheltered everywhere. He was always one of the great landlords. Prefect Luo naturally heard about the activities that Monk Puyuan did. There must be a lot of gold, silver and treasures in the temple. Wang Tong said that if he didn't ask about the number, he would naturally let the local area deal with it. Everyone had the businessman behind him, so he could not let the imperial envoy empty-handed.
"If the imperial envoy had not been here in person, except for this evil thief, the local government would not know how long it would be poisoned. The official was extremely ashamed and was willing to make meritorious service. Then he would summon the servants in the mansion to handle the case."
The Prime Minister Luo agreed loudly and immediately made arrangements. Wang Tong smiled and nodded immediately. He had the status of an imperial envoy, but after all, there were only more than a hundred people. If you want to move in the place, you naturally have to give enough benefits.
The monks who were blocked outside were all anxious. Naturally, they were not kind-hearted, but Wang Tong's personal guards were too fierce. Several sharpshooters stood on a high place, and a group of elite armored soldiers surrounded them below. Just now, the few who wanted to move were shot by the bows and arrows above.
But if you dare not move, you dare not move. A large number of men are coming. If you don’t move, you will be caught by a turtle. Several monks exchanged glances with each other and someone shouted:
"Master, I'm wronged."
One person shouted, and everyone followed the noise. Hundreds of monks were crowded out, and even the abbot had a short knife around his waist. Moreover, they were holding iron rulers and daggers in their hands, crying and crowding out.
This horse is not a military horse. After dragging the soldiers in armor, the horsepower is no longer able to keep up. Wang Tong has already turned over and dismounted. Looking at the chaos ahead, Wang Tong said with a smile:
"These are not monks, but bandits, just deal with the thieves."
With this sentence, the guards who were a little hesitant immediately took action. The monks here are not real monks, they are all desperate and bandits. However, the guards they faced were all from life and death on the sea and on the grassland. The gap was not a little bit. These monks thought that crying and making trouble would make the other party feel lenient.
However, they cried and clamored, rushed to the front, and were greeted with merciless slashing and assassination. Han Gang's Park Knife was stronger and split half of the body of a monk in the opposite hand, dripping blood.
The iron ruler dagger, how to deal with the big sword and spear, and more than twenty died as soon as they met, the monks retreated again.
"The guy who gave up his hands, kneel down with his head, or he would kill him without any hesitation."
The guards shouted there. The monks from Puyuan Temple saw a group of people who were several times more vicious than their own family. They were all out of courage. They didn't know who took the lead and left their family behind, and knelt on the ground with their shouts.
The benefits of a large sum of money were ahead, and the prefect Luo was not vague. He immediately got some people from the nearby big village. The people in the city were rushing towards this side, and the ropes were brought. The monks outside were tied up in large ties, and Wang Tong led the people into Puyuan Temple.
There were also some novice monks in the temple, and some old and weak monks guarding them. When they saw the princes coming in, they were so scared that they dared not move. In fact, these people were no different from those who served people by wealthy families. Once they were forced to ask, they would tell everything. After asking, Monk Puyuan really deserved to be killed.
There were more than a dozen young men locked up on the pagoda of the temple, all of whom were rich and wealthy families in nearby palaces, and they were all made like monks. If there was no money at home, these young men would often be sold or stayed in the temple to suffer. Some people had been ruined and were not decent.
Liu Yuanwai, who opened a silk shop in Changzhou City, also saw his own children. The father and son burst into tears when they met. Shi Qi and Wu Er were quite familiar with the arrangement of such a thief's nest in secret. They passed the Buddhist temple and went straight to the monastery behind. It turned out to be unclean.
Not to mention the large warehouses filled with property, the twenty or so women in the backyard were shocking enough. Someone saw the officer rushing in and immediately burst into tears.
It turned out that there were robbers elsewhere who had done the case. When they saw a beautiful woman, in order to please the monk Puyuan, they were sent to this temple for monk Puyuan to ravage and play with. Anyone who wanted to run away was naturally killed and silenced them. When these women were found, they learned some secret matters from them.
There were many warehouses filled with stolen goods, and there was no way to sell them and temporarily stored them. Even the close disciples of Monk Puyuan saw a large number of public servants coming over and saw corpses all over the ground, and they knew that the situation was hopeless and some people were already asking for supplies and demand to survive.
Many of the goods in the warehouse that cannot be sold stolen from the warehousing are to be sold directly on the sea route to foreign countries. This is inseparable from the Japanese pirates and pirates everywhere, not to mention that there are many corpses buried in the woods behind the temple, which involves one or another.
The imperial envoy came to Changzhou and after he got ashore, he destroyed a nest of thieves. Many major cases were solved. The ordinary people in Changzhou Prefecture City still had a good impression of Puyuan Temple, but when they heard so many horrifying activities in this temple, their position immediately changed and began to praise Wang Tong's wisdom.
There are evidence, physical evidence, and confessions. This case is already an ironclad case and there will be no recurrence. Wang Tong also turned around on the boat and was about to leave after social engagements, but now he has to stay for one night and wait for the local yamen to leave after the case is issued. Otherwise, if the case changes and the government changes its words, it will become an excuse to frame him.
After returning to the boat, Wang Tong did not call Lu Ruomei to ask questions, but arranged for people to call a sedan chair on the shore, carried Lu Ruomei, and then arranged for a few personal soldiers to follow him and go around Puyuan Temple.
No matter what you say, it is useless. Seeing the monk Puyuan's level and the corpses of those monks, all your worries disappeared. After returning to the boat, there was no need for Wang Tong to talk, and then Lu Ruomei asked for a meeting first.
"The imperial envoy, Xiaomin's mother is still in Suzhou Prefecture, so I asked the master to be kind. When I arrived in Suzhou, I would pick Xiaomin's mother up on the boat."
Hearing this plea, Wang Tong hesitated for a moment and said with a solemn expression:
"You are a girl, and some things shouldn't be too direct to you, but things have come to this point. They can block you by the river. Wouldn't they track down your home? Your mother's side is in danger."
As the saying goes, there is basically nothing good. Lu Ruomei, who is kneeling on the ground, naturally understood that her thin body was shaking there for a few times, and it seemed that she could not hold on.
Wang Tong frowned. Girls are so bad. They are too weak. They are about to invite someone in, but Lu Ruomei stabilizes her body and said firmly:
"My mother's mind is also a complaint, and she will give me justice to the Lu family. Even if my mother encounters an unexpected accident, she will feel at ease in the sky knowing what Xiaomin did."
Perhaps it was because Lu Ruomei had been dressed as a man for too long and claimed to be a "little folk". The girl's decisiveness made Wang Tong admire her very much, and she said in a deep voice:
"Tell me why you sued the Xu family. My official came to Songjiang, and it was investigated and dealt with by order."
Lu Ruomei is a girl under twenty years old. When she was born in those days, she was less than two years old. Lu Ruomei's father was a minor official in the Songjiang Prefectural Office. He was in charge of the books. The minor official had no merits. If it were not a local wealthy family, taxes and other burdens were also a burden.
Since the Lu family is an official in the yamen, they also have a lot of land. In order to save some taxes, they put the land into the name of the Xu family. At the beginning, they came according to the rules. However, after Xu Jie returned home, the Xu family turned against each other and gave them all to their own homes.
The local area was naturally in a turbulent situation, but the Xu family was in great influence and no one could make a fuss. At this time, Hai Rui came to Jiangnan and began to investigate and investigate. There were naturally many people complaining. The Xu family had no choice but to spit out the embezzled land. Some families could not even get it out, but the Lu family had a fish scale list from the government as a certificate. They not only brought it back, but also helped many people.
At that time, this was a very pleasing act of righteousness, but Hai Rui soon fell, and the Xu family started again, and became even more arrogant. He directly said that the occupied fields were originally from the Xu family, and because they had to make a book for the offering, the Lu family also had the certificate of the fish scale list and the books, so they naturally became the Xu family's eye thorn and flesh thorn-
