Chapter 997 Beggar Zhang Sanhe

Ever since Qin Han became the city lord,

Gradually, these guards learned of his hobby of solving cases, and they patrolled the city all day long, hoping that a case would come to light.

At the beginning, someone deliberately fabricated a case and submitted it to Qin Han, but was beaten to death on the spot. After that, no one dared to commit fraud again.

If you want to get involved in a case now, you can only rely on God's will.

Under the envious gazes of the guards, the guard who dropped his shoes excitedly said:

"Sir, the eldest son of Mr. Zhang's family in the south of the city was killed by a beggar when he went out today."

"The beggar tried to escape, but was caught red-handed by my subordinates."

"On the way back, no matter how much we asked, the beggar refused to reveal any information about his identity. He simply killed someone and asked us to kill him quickly."

"After hearing this, I know there is definitely something hidden."

"How could a beggar kill Zhang Jia Dalang for no reason? My initial assessment is that he hired a killer."

"I heard that Mr. Zhang's family owns more than a dozen shops and is having trouble with several of them. This could very well be a murder caused by a business war."

Listening to the guards talk more and more outrageous,

Qin Han waved his hand and said, "Don't analyze it anymore. Bring the person to Xingtang."

Guard: "As ordered."

In Xingtang, a bright mirror hangs high.

Qin Han, dressed in finery, sat before the desk and slammed the gavel, "Bring the prisoner!"

After a while

A beggar with disheveled hair, ragged clothes and a limp was brought in by two guards.

There were actually dozens of neighbors gathered outside the door.

The court session hadn't been held for a long time, and many people were rushing in to watch the fun after hearing the news.

In the hall, the beggar was half carried and half walked to the middle.

"You don't kneel down when you see my master."

The two guards stretched out their hands and pushed the beggar, who fell to his knees with a thud.

Qin Han's sharp eyes swept across the beggar's face, "Who is this man? Tell me your name."

The beggar lowered his head, his hair disheveled, his face unclear, and his voice hoarse as he answered irrelevantly: "I killed the man, I will pay with my life."

The guard beside him frowned, "My master asked for your name, so you'd better tell the truth."

Another guard even took out a wooden slap from his waist, like this prisoner who refused to cooperate,

Local tradition will definitely involve torture first, beating the person until he can speak.

Qin Han waved his hand when he saw this.

"I've told you countless times not to torture him unless absolutely necessary. Pull his hair aside."

As soon as he came in, Qin Han noticed that there was something unusual about the beggar's face covered by his hair. There must be a reason why the other party had disheveled hair covering his face.

Hearing what was said in the hall, the beggar's expression suddenly became excited.

"No, I killed him. I've confessed. I have no accomplices. I did it all by myself."

"Do not touch me."

The two guards didn't care about that. They moved their hands one on the left and one on the right, revealing a blurry face that looked as if it had been scalded by boiling water.

The other person's right eye was even burned.

The beggar's face looked as if he had encountered a great terror.

The head was pressed down hard, and some of the hair that the guards grabbed was even broken.

Qin Han: "Let him go."

After the restraints were loosened, the beggar quickly threw his head against the ground, as if trying to crawl into a crack in the earth.

He kept humming in his mouth.

Qin Han: "Even if all prisoners are beheaded, their identities will be verified first."

"Although your appearance is destroyed, your body shape, birthmarks, and scars from the past will not disappear."

"If you don't want to tell me now, I will order all the families in and around the city where male members have disappeared to come forward and identify me."

"Speak now, or wait until everyone in the city knows about it. It's your choice."

The beggar felt as if his weakness had been discovered.

His body trembled, and he said excitedly: "Sir, please don't check, please don't check."

"I'm willing to tell you, but could you please keep it secret from others?"

"Even if I am beheaded, don't let my family know."

"Please."

Bang, bang, bang! The beggar kowtowed to the ground, begging as he kowtowed.

Qin Han: "Alright, stop knocking, everyone go out and close the door tightly. This city lord will personally interrogate him."

He drove everyone out, even Xiao Jin, who was confident and clear about everything.

After a while

In the entire Xing Hall, only Qin Han and the beggar were left.

"Everyone has left, can you tell me now?"

The beggar looked around and his tone suddenly became low.

"Your Excellency, my name is Zhang Sanhe. I am a distant cousin of Mr. Zhang and used to work in the Zhang family's cloth shop."

"Three years ago, Mr. Zhang personally transferred me to work in a business outside the city. At first, I thought this was a promotion for me."

"Only after I went there did I realize that the business outside the city was actually a human trafficking operation."

"I refused to obey, and during the argument, they actually poured a pot of boiling water on my face and then threw me into the pigpen."

"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to survive. I woke up in the middle of the night and jumped into a nearby river to escape."

"After recovering from my injuries, I begged my way back to the city, hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge."

"Fortunately, I found an opportunity today."

The beggar said it with sincerity.

Qin Han pressed on, "This doesn't make sense."

"You should know what this city lord has done in the past six months."

"As long as your case is true, I can kill even ten Mr. Zhangs."

"Besides, if you had told the truth in front of the hall just now, this city lord would not only not punish you, but would also uproot the Zhang family."

"You're still hiding something from me."

Zhang Sanhe said in a trembling voice, "Sir, look at me now, I'm neither human nor ghost, how can I live?"

"It's better to die now."

Qin Han: "It was Mr. Zhang who transferred you away, but you chose to seek revenge on Mr. Zhang's family member, Dalang. If you really came here for revenge, why would you give up the main culprit?"

Zhang Sanhe: "Mr. Zhang's family is a prominent family in my hometown. Many people in the clan depend on them for food. Moreover, my parents and brothers are still at home. If Mr. Zhang is uprooted, my parents and brothers will have a hard time in the village in the future."

"As a son, how can I not think about the fate of my family?"

Qin Han: "It's not just these, what else?"

Zhang Sanhe: "That's all I have. Please have mercy on me, sir. Don't let my parents see me like this. They are old and don't want to worry about me for the rest of their lives."

"I only wish to die."

Qin Han closed his eyes slightly, and swept the city with his soul power.

In just a few seconds, a lot of information was discovered.

He said, "If a son doesn't think his mother is ugly, then naturally the mother won't think her son is ugly either. I'm afraid your real purpose is not at home."

"I heard that the eldest son of the Zhang family and the third daughter of the Wang family are engaged and will be getting married soon."

"And you killed Zhang Jiadalang alone. Do you think this was a coincidence or intentional?"

Zhang Sanhe heard this, as if everything was seen through.

His eyes narrowed, and he instantly lost the courage to resist.
