Early the next morning, Magistrate Jia went to court to interrogate the gang Yazi caught last night.
Xu Fan and Xu Ying were also shackled and taken to court together with Liu Zhun and others.
The two of them didn¡¯t sleep a wink all night last night. The cell stunk, was infested with bedbugs and fleas, and rats gnawed on toes at night. The brothers had another novel but not beautiful experience.
Since they couldn't sleep, the two of them whispered together all night, and finally decided that their identity should not be revealed, even if they were sentenced.
Because they heard that Hai Rui had issued arrest warrants and the two of them were wanted across the country. If his identity is revealed, wouldn't it be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap?
In this era, the road guide system has long been abolished and cannot be abolished. There are refugees everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many people with unknown origins. Anyway, they are not just human beings, they can just make up their identities and fool them.
Having made up their mind, the two of them felt at ease and rearranged their identities. Yu Xi, Yu Bei and the like have no problem coaxing illiterate people into talking, but they reveal their secrets in court.

After the people entered the hall, they knelt down consciously.
Only Xu Fan and Xu Ying were still standing there without any awareness.
"Kneel down!" the squad leader yelled.
"We, kneel down?" The two of them knelt down to the sky and the ground to kneel to their parents. They had never knelt down before an official. "Why?"
Liu Zhun secretly gave a thumbs up. He didn't expect his second and third brothers to be so tough.
"You still don't kneel down when you see the great master!" the squad leader shouted angrily, and two yamen servants used water and fire sticks to hit the two people's crutches hard.
Immediately they were beaten to the ground.
Jia Zhixian slapped the wooden door in the hall and asked in a deep voice: "Who is kneeling in the hall?"
"We" Xu Fan was about to speak.
"Zhang Zui, are you allowed to speak?" When Jia Zhixian glared, the class leader put on his leather gloves and slapped Xu Fan hard on both the front and back of his mouth.
Xu Fan had a nosebleed and looked at Jia Zhixian aggrievedly. Wasn't that what you asked?
Who would have thought that the person Jia Zhixian asked was not him at all.
I saw the headman who arrested them last night came out to report: "Go back to the boss, we received a report from the people last night and captured a group of extremely vicious human traffickers!"
"Oh?" Jia Zhixian asked in a deep voice, "Have you asked for a confession?"
"Go back to the eldest sir, the preliminary trial has passed." The county prison clerk reported to the team: "At first they wanted to deny it, but after they loosened the bones, they all gave up. These guys confessed, and they started doing it last year The human traffickers have committed thirty crimes."
"Based on their confessions, I found out that the case they confessed to has been registered with the Southern Criminal Department. The young men went out of the city overnight and rescued the two women who were kidnapped."
"So, all the witnesses and physical evidence are available?" Jia Zhixian asked with a sinking face.
"The evidence is complete," the official replied.
"How should the sentence be imposed?" Jia Zhixian asked again.
"According to the law, if you buy a small number of people, you can use a cane of one hundred, and if you sell three thousand people, if you sell more than three people, you will be sent with a hundred catties of shackles, and the shackles will be numbered for a month, and they will be dispatched in advance." The official replied hurriedly.
Jia Zhixian then slapped the door in shock and said: "That's the sentence, withdraw from court!"
Liu Zhun and others were thankful that at least one of their lives had been spared since they were murderers and pirates.
Although a hundred sticks may beat someone to death, as long as they are willing to give money, their buttocks will not bloom.
As for the exile, it won¡¯t be as far as three thousand taels. Why should the county give away free labor and have to pay a large sum of money for travel expenses? Usually they are sent to the nearby salt fields, official warehouses, inns and other places in the county to work as coolies.
Just find an opportunity to escape.
Xu Fan and Xu Ying were dumbfounded. How come they didn¡¯t even ask us and were sentenced like this? This doesn't follow the process.
"Sir, wait a minute, we are not human traffickers!" The two of them didn't care about being slapped. He quickly shouted: "We were captured by them!"
"Master, don't listen to the nonsense of these two gangsters. Everyone heard it last night. They called each other eldest brother, second brother, and third brother." The catcher hurriedly revealed.
Master Huang nodded, indicating that he heard it too.
"What a bold traitor, how dare you openly fool me!" Jia Zhixian, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly became furious. He took out a fire stick from the lottery tube, threw it on the ground and said, "Hit me!"
The yamen servant immediately used a water and fire stick to hold down the Xu Fan brothers, took off their pants, and then slapped their snow-white legs with a stick!
"Ah" The two brothers felt like their buttocks were about to burst. They still cried and shouted without giving up: "We are really good people.! "
Even their sworn brother couldn¡¯t help but testify for the two of them: ¡°They were indeed arrested by us, not from our group.¡±
"" Xu Fan and Xu Ying looked at the man Yatou in surprise, wondering whether he was too into the drama or was out of his mind. However, he didn¡¯t care about that much at the moment, and quickly turned to the court and said, ¡°Do you believe it now, sir? We are also victims.¡±
"Yes, sir, we deliberately coaxed him into sworn sworn friendship, but we were afraid that he would get the money and kill us" Xu Ying added superfluously: "Otherwise, who would swore a sworn sworn relationship with Ren Yazi?"
"So you have always thought like this?!" When Liu Zhun heard this, he felt as if he had been hit hard, and said with a twisted face and hatred: "We will never have any friendship from now on!"
After saying that, he turned away and burst into tears.
Xu Fan and Xu Ying didn't care at all, they just hoped to escape as soon as possible.
"What's your name? Where are you from? The most important thing is, do you have a road guide?" Jia Zhixian asked them with a half-smile but not a smile: "Answer the last question first."
"This" The two of them were dumbfounded. Where could they find that thing?
"Sir, who wants that thing when they go out now" Xu Fan clearly felt that something was wrong. Because when he messes with others, he is also very picky.
"You bastard! I don't care about other counties! Changxing County must abide by the law. Not having a road is a crime!" Jia Zhixian was shocked.
"According to the law, according to the law"
"According to the law, it is necessary to cross the border privately!" The prison clerk added hurriedly and loudly.
"Yes, the stick for crossing Guanjin privately is eighty!" Jia Zhixian threw out another fire sign.
??The corvee immediately continued to beat the board, beating the two people until their skin was torn to pieces, and they were still alive
After finally receiving eighty blows, I heard Jia Zhixian wave his sleeves and say: "Fork out!"
Xu Fan and Xu Yingxin said it was over, and it wouldn't be a big loss to exchange for a good meal to regain their freedom.
"Sir, I want to expose the meritorious deeds!" Unexpectedly, Liu Zhun, who would be the next to take action, suddenly said loudly: "The two of them intend to rebel!"
Xu Fan and Xu Ying were stunned.
"What?!" Jia Zhixian immediately stopped the yamen servant, and then said to Liu Zhun: "Hurry up and recruit him truthfully, and you will be spared a slap in the face!"
"Yes, sir!" Brother Liu, whose feelings were seriously hurt, wanted to take revenge on these two cold-blooded people.
"As Xu Fan told him, now the emperor is fatuous and the people are in dire straits. The world is about to undergo great changes. He recruits troops, trains secretly, and waits for the right time. All the words are spoken out.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Xu Fan rolled his eyes and fainted.
Xu Ying took a look and thought, no matter what, I might faint too (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
