Chapter 204
Qin Fenghua suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued to ask: "Then how did you find new... people to play with?"

She really couldn't speak out about those murdered children as toys.

Wu You continued: "Usually the eldest young master or eldest lady goes out to look for the children they want, and brings back the ones they like."

"How did you bring people back?"

"Children are very simple. Sometimes a candied haws can deceive people away. Some are more clever. We will follow them quietly, looking for a suitable opportunity to strike, and knock people unconscious and take them back."

Qin Fenghua: "Do you have any impression of Fang Xiaoan?"

Wu You: "Yes, I have an impression."

"How did you kidnap Fang Xiaoan?" Qin Fenghua asked.

Wu You raised his head, looked up, and recalled: "Fang Xiaoan is a very good-looking kid, and he is also very smart. At that time, I took a lot of effort to capture Fang Xiaoan into the mansion, and was almost discovered by others. .”

Wu You paused, and then said: "The reason why I am particularly impressed with him is because of Fang Xiaoan's escape. Fang Xiaoan was the first child who successfully escaped from the Wu Mansion, and he not only ran alone, I also took seventeen other children to run together, and ran successfully."

"And then?" Qin Fenghua asked.

"Then this matter was naturally known by the eldest lady and the eldest young master. We didn't know that Fang Xiaoan organized this escape at first, but we asked about it later because we captured one of the children again. "

Qin Fenghua: "So you took the eighteen escaped children back by force?"

Wu You nodded: "Yes, the young master and the eldest lady were very angry and ordered us to arrest everyone, otherwise we would look good on us, and we could only arrest people overnight under pressure. The Wu family has people in Gusu and even the surrounding counties. power, these escaped children were all arrested.”

Qin Fenghua: "So, you captured the children and handed them over to the two devils of the Wu family, and they were all tortured to death, right?"

Wu You was silent for a while, closed his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "Yes, the eighteen children almost died the next day. Some were thrown into mass graves, and some were thrown into dry wells."

Qin Fenghua felt her hands tremble slightly, and her words choked with sobs, she said: "Wu You, do you still have the humanity, such a small child, you clearly know that they will die if they fall into the hands of the Wu family sisters and brothers, but you still help the tyrant to do evil. Arresting people, you... are you a human? Don’t you have children yourself? How can you bear it?! How can you bear to watch them tortured to death? Don’t you feel any guilt?”

Facing Qin Fenghua's questioning, Wu You bowed his head silently and said nothing.

He himself didn't know if he still had humanity. Maybe he couldn't bear to see those children angry at first, but... Later, after seeing more, he seemed to become numb.

Xie Mingjie closed his eyes, suppressed the surging emotions, opened his eyes after a few breaths, and said again: "Apart from the Wu family sisters and brothers who ordered you to do things, do the other masters of the Wu family know about these things?"

Wu You: "The master and the old man knew that Fang Xiaoan's mother hanged at the gate of the Wu mansion, which attracted the attention of the government. It was the master and the old man who used money to suppress the matter. As for the madam, I guess how much she is I should know more or less, after all, for many years, the madam has been in charge of the inner house, people come and go in and out of the mansion, the sick and the dead, the madam didn't speak, it should be acquiescing to the actions of the young master and the young lady .”

Xie Mingjie sneered, and asked again: "How did Fang Xiaoan's mother's death be suppressed? Who did the Wu family send money to?"

Wu You said so far, so he had nothing to hide, so he said directly: "I sent 500 taels of silver to the magistrate, Mr. Shen, and I personally sent it. Make it small, the trivial matter will pass away."

"Where did all this dirty silver go?" Xie Mingjie asked.

Wu You shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I'm only responsible for delivering the money. Only Mr. Shen knows the exact whereabouts of the money."

Xie Mingjie immediately called the yamen servant and said, "Take someone to Shen Gaozhuo's place, tie him up, and throw him directly into the prison. I'll deal with him after the trial is over."

Yamen servants take orders.

"Master Xie, I don't think this is the case. In order to prevent Lord Shen from transferring dirty money, I will lend you another batch of people. You directly order the yamen of Shenfu and the prefect to be surrounded, and let people look for evidence of the crime. What do you think?" Qin Fenghua Suddenly said.

Xie Mingjie thought for a while, and felt that what Qin Fenghua said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Then get rid of it."

Qin Fenghua cupped his hands and said: "Master Xie, you are welcome, everyone is for the people of Daxia."

So some yamen servants of the prefect's yamen took the excited Southern Region soldiers with their jobs and divided into two groups, and went straight to the Shenfu and the magistrate's yamen to arrest people and ransack their homes.

But they didn't expect that they ran into Shen Gaozhuo just halfway, and now they didn't have to bother, they went up to arrest him, Shen Gaozhuo didn't even have time to say a word, and he was pulled off the official hat and the official Robe, thrown into the prison of the prefect's government office.

Shen Gaozhuo's side came to an end for now, let's talk back to Qin Fenghua's side.

Wu You, the steward of the Wu family, had finished explaining everything that should be explained, and Xie Mingjie interrogated other servants of the Wu mansion in turn, including Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu, Young Master Wu, and Miss Wu who were serving by the head of the house. All the servants, maids and wives, as well as the sons and daughters of the Wu family.

In this trial, not only did the Wu family find out many crimes such as abducting children, disregarding human life, murder and arson, bribing officials, etc., but also asked about many dirty things hidden in the Wu family, such as adultery, adultery, creeping ashes, and incest. Even Inspector Feng, who was used to the secretiveness of the court, almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

Supervisor Feng stabilized the teacup, and thought to himself: This... this Wu family is too chaotic, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, there is no normal person in the whole house, how can the Sa family save them?
Finally, after all the servants and concubines and concubines of the Wu Mansion had been interrogated, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Li were brought up again.

Xie Mingjie looked at the two kneeling down, and said expressionlessly: "Are you two still trying to argue? All the crimes committed by the Wu Mansion have been recruited by other people in the Wu Mansion. I will give you one last chance now." , if you still want to continue to deny, then the official can only give a strict sentence."

Xie Mingjie's words were strong and without room for room, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Li raised their heads in surprise at the same time, looked at Xie Mingjie's expression, and began to weigh in their hearts.
