Chapter 189: Peripheral Interrogation
Killing the mighty stick or similar means is one of the basic methods of criminal investigation and interrogation. If the interrogator is coquettish or even arrogant, he must first be eliminated, so that the subsequent interrogation will be effective. This is especially true for criminal gangs and hooligans. Otherwise, the subsequent interrogation will be difficult to achieve the expected effect.
Of course, in modern society, this kind of killing stick cannot be used. The mental coercion method is generally adopted, such as letting the other party half-squat to answer questions, and to cut the other party's jeans legs, cut off the other party's explosive head, tear the flowered shirt, etc. When necessary, they are also tortured and forced to confess and go against the edge ball, such as handcuffing the plane, strong lights, standing on one leg, freezing, etc.
Of course, these methods are mainly used to deal with those little hooligans or criminals involved in gangs, which are generally not suitable for others, and can easily cause negative effects or even cause the other party to commit suicide due to humiliation.
The two Jinyiwei who were escorted agreed and dragged the big man out. The man struggled hard, cursing. Yang Qiuchi saw that the two Jinyiwei were quite struggling and shook his eyes at Nangong Xiong. Nangong Xiong nodded. This man was captured by him by himself just now. He had some skills and was strong. Generally, Jinyiwei was not easy to deal with him.
Nangong Xiong stepped forward two steps and asked the two Jinyiwei to get out of the way. After swinging the iron fist like a hammer, he punched the man hard on the weak point. The man screamed and knelt on the ground. Nangong Xiong kicked his stomach again. The man screamed again, curled up on the ground, vomiting all over the ground, his eyes turned pale, and almost passed away.
Nangong Xiong grabbed him with one hand and grabbed it under his armpit. He walked to the platform outside the court and threw it on the bluestone slab, shouting: "Execution!"
Four Jinyiwei stepped forward and lifted him to the long bench and held it down. The other two Jinyiweiwei stepped forward and swung the water and fire sticks and beat him up, making the man scream like a pig.
After the eighty-day Killing Wei stick, the man fainted several times and his lips were bitten. The Jinyiwei woke him up with cold water, dragged him to the lobby, and threw him on the cold bluestone floor.
Yang Qiuchi asked coldly: "Are you willing to kneel down to me?"
These eighty killing sticks did destroy the man's majesty. He lowered his head and hummed in pain. He struggled to turn over and kneel on the ground: "Sir, the little one is wrong, the little one is willing to kneel down."
Yang Qiuchi asked: "Okay, what are you doing? Why are you inciting to steal grain?"
The man replied: "The young one is a disaster victim outside Wuchang City. He fled to the famine and came to the city. He was so hungry that he was so hungry that the government refused to release grain, so he said he was robbing the grain."
"Is that true?" Yang Qiuchi walked off the desk and came to the place where the man had just vomited, squatted down and looked at the vomit on the ground, and smiled coldly: "You eat fish and pork tonight. You are still living in a good life in the wasteland!"
When the man heard this, his vomit revealed his lies and hesitated and couldn't speak.
Yang Qiuchi walked back to the desk and shouted, "Bold and unruly people. Look at your greasy face, you will know that you are not a famine fleeing famine at all, and you won't be able to do anything, otherwise you will be punished!"
The man hurriedly said, "I said, I am wandering on the streets of Wuchang City. I heard that I was putting grain tonight, and I squeezed into the crowd of hungry people to take the food for the hungry people. I can sell it. The young man knew he was guilty." He kowtowed repeatedly.
"Then why do you want to rush to grab food?"
"The little one knows the guilt, the little one just wants to watch the fun. He listens to others shouting, and then shouts, making noises."
This was reasonable. Yang Qiuchi thought to himself that he would ask again. Then he heard a whistle behind the screen. He turned his head and saw Song Yuner revealing half of her face from behind the screen. He blinked at him and signaled him to go over.
Song Yuner has been listening to her case behind the screen. At this time, she must have urgent matters when she lets herself go.
Yang Qiuchi coughed, smiled apologetically to Luo Qianhu, turned around and walked behind the screen, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Brother, this person may be the guardian of a wealthy family." Song Yuner said.
Yang Qiuchi exclaimed: "How did you know?"
"When he was curled up on the ground just now, a piece of gauntlet was exposed in his trouser legs. He didn't look like a villager. The people in the city were either gauntlets or guarding the courtyard." Song Yuner said affirmatively.
This little girl has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and was born as an official. She is very familiar with martial artists such as bodyguards and guards. She could tell at a glance that she whistled and greeted Yang Qiuchi.
Yang Qiuchi praised, "Yun'er is so smart, thank you!" He turned around and returned to the hall, slapped the auspicious wood, shouting, "Bold and unruly! You are still quibbling. You are clearly wearing the costumes of the hospital guards and leggings. What a gangster is there, and you are not honest. Come on, put a stick on me!"
"Yes!" The Jinyiwei on both sides came up and grabbed the man and was about to be punished.
The eighty killing sticks in front of him had already killed most of the man. If he had to be punished, he would never be able to stand it anymore. The man screamed and shouted: "Don't be punished, I'll take it! I'll take it!"
"Speak quickly!" Yang Qiuchi shouted, "Tell you, as long as I find out that you are lying again, I will use torture and then speak. Have you heard it clearly?"
"I heard it clearly, the villain has been tricked!" The man said repeatedly, "The villain is the guardian of Mi Yuanwai's family."
Yang Qiuchi was happy. Sure enough, there was something wrong with the rice official. Now, not only did the inside and outside collude with the disaster relief grain, but also sent a guard to incite the robbery of grain in an attempt to cause a riot. He had previously asked someone to open the rice official's granary for the granary of the granary of the rice official's granary to release grain for disaster relief based on the confession that Prime Minister Tan had not yet verified. Although the matter was urgent, he couldn't help but think about it. Now there was a basis, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Yang Qiuchi asked, "Who asked you to incite the robbery of food? Come on the truth!"
"Say!" The Jinyiwei on both sides beat the water and fire sticks on the ground, and intimidated in unison.
The man hurriedly said, "Yes, it's our master, no, it was Mi Junwai who asked us to come. He asked us to pretend to be hungry, get into the crowd, and encourage us to grab food."
"Why did he do this?"
"The villain doesn't know."
"How many people have you participated in inciting food robbery?"
"Most of the guard servants and servants participated, probably a few dozen."
"Are you yours?"
"Yes, it's the male servant of Mi Yuanwai's family."
Yang Qiuchi thought for a while and asked again: "Are you the ones who spread the news that the prefect is going to release food tonight?"
"Yes, it was Mi Junwai who asked us to say it everywhere. After the locust plague last year, when the hungry people fled the famine a year ago, he asked us to spread it everywhere that only Wuchang released grain, and other prefectures would not release grain."
Now I understand. Mi Yuanwai made a fool of himself and deliberately spread the news to attract tens of thousands of hungry people in a radius of hundreds of miles.
According to normal disaster relief, the court allocated disaster relief grain to forward it to all prefectures and counties in the disaster area. Local hungry people will receive food nearby. This will facilitate disaster relief and avoid the suffering of people from rushing around. Secondly, it will prevent a large number of disaster victims from gathering in the area and causing accidents.
This Mi Yuanwai deliberately spread news that hungry people gathered in Wuchang City. Combined with today's actions, his wolfish ambitions were obvious.
Yang Qiuchi continued to interrogate the other people who incited to steal grain. Except for some of the hungry people who were indeed hungry, the rest were servants or servants of Mi Junwai's family. Some of them honestly explained as soon as they came up, while others wanted to be tougher, but after being beaten up with a killing stick, they also honestly explained.
The explanations of these people are consistent with the great man in front of them. Master Jin recorded their confessions one by one. With these evidences, Yang Qiuchi felt much more at ease, but these are still just external figures, and the truth of this matter has not been revealed.
Next, Yang Qiuchi will interrogate the men in black who were arrested by Nangong Xiong and other Jinyiwei who were trying to set fire in the granary.
According to Nangong Xiong, these people are all skilled in martial arts. Yang Qiuchi first asked the big man who was interrogated just now to identify the firefighters, but they did not recognize them, which means they were not from Mi Junwai's house.
Yang Qiuchi first interrogated the smallest one. Such people generally had less experience in counter-investigation and had relatively little experience in counter-investigation.
The boy was less than 20 years old and his face was pale. After coming in, he knelt down and kowtowed. Sure enough, Yang Qiuchi coaxed and deceived him, but before he could torture him, the boy confessed that they were escorts from a bleak escort agency in Changsha Prefecture, and the boy was the young escort owner.
When the escort agency was almost disbanded, a middle-aged man came and gave them five hundred taels of silver, and asked them to come to Wuchang City to set fire to the granary in a mask, promising to pay another five hundred taels after the matter was completed.
One thousand taels of silver is equivalent to one million yuan in modern times. For a small escort agency, it is a huge sum of money. The young man's father, the head of the escort, took over the business and brought a few confidant escorts to Wuchang, sneaked into the yamen in a mask, and burned the granary of the yamen.
The middle-aged man was indeed trustworthy and paid the remaining amount of 500 taels, and asked them to wait for some days in Wuchang City, saying that they still had a business order.
Today, the middle-aged man asked them to burn the granary of the prefect's office again. Unexpectedly, the Jinyiwei discovered it as soon as they started setting fires. They were outnumbered and were all arrested.
Yang Qiuchi interrogated the others, including the young man's father, one by one, and verified that what they said could confirm each other.
