Liu Xiangcheng took a deep breath and looked up at Feng Qizhou: "Lord Feng might as well speak up if he has something to say." ”
"Liu Ge will take a look at this first. ”
When Feng Qizhou heard this, he knew that Liu Xiangcheng's heart was shaken, and he didn't say anything more, but directly took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve that had not yet been sealed but were just folded, and took two steps forward and put them on the table next to Liu Xiangcheng.
"What is this?" said Yoo Sang-sung frowned.
Feng Qizhou said lightly: "This is the confession of Ma Yujie and Jiang Jinsong when I and Master Wu investigated the fraud case in the past few days. Ma Yujie couldn't stand the punishment and recruited him early, but Jiang Jinsong was a hard-mouthed person, and it took a lot of effort for Master Wu and I to let him open his mouth. ”
"The things mentioned in their confessions are all related to the fraud in this scientific expedition, and I think Liu Ge Lao may be interested in knowing, so I specially asked Master Wu to invite Liu Ge Lao over. Liu Ge might as well have seen these things first, and then we'll talk about it. ”
When Liu Xiangcheng listened to Feng Qizhou's words and knew that these things in front of him were the confessions of the two people, his heart suddenly sank.
If these things had nothing to do with him, Feng Qizhou would definitely not let him see them, not to mention that the hints between Feng Qizhou's words could not be more obvious, he was clearly telling him that the things written on these confessions were related to him.
Liu Xiangcheng hurriedly picked up the confession and opened it to look at it, at first his face was normal, but when he looked down, the more tense his face became, and after reading Ma Yujie's confession and Jiang Jinsong's reading, the blood on Liu Xiangcheng's face faded violently.
He slapped the things in his hand on the table hard, got up and said angrily: "Nonsense, it's all nonsense!!"
"When did the old man order someone to sell exam questions, and when did he use this to accumulate money?!My Liu family is full of names, although it is not rich and expensive, but it is not short of money, besides, the old man is an old man of Fengge Pavilion, and he participates in the big exam, how can the old man be so confused to do such a thing, and plunge my Liu family into a place of no return?!"
"Lord Feng, these two people are clearly slandering the old man, you don't have to believe them!"
Feng Qizhou saw that Liu Xiangcheng was trembling with anger, looking shocked and frightened, and said in a deep voice: "I naturally believe that Liu Ge is old, if the Liu family is short of money, they will never do anything on this road, after I discussed with Lord Wu, I felt that this confession was quite involved, so I pressed these things down and did not submit them to the Holy Front for the time being." ”
"We also thought that Jiang Jinsong was climbing and biting indiscriminately, but after following his confession, we really found that Huo Jia, and after bringing Huo Jia back, he did confess that he had sold exam questions for others. ”
Feng Qizhou said this, and paused in his words: "Does Liu Ge know who Huo Jia is?"
Liu Xiangcheng said in a deep voice: "The old man has never heard of this person. ”
"What about Huo Shurong? Or maybe he also has a name, called Xu De, Liu Ge should be no stranger, right?"
Xu De?!
Liu Xiangcheng's face changed instantly, that Xu De was someone he was very close to, on the surface he was an assistant teacher, but in fact he was a person who had followed him for many years.
He couldn't stabilize his mind anymore, clenched his fists tightly and raised his head and said, "That Xu De..."
Xu De is Huo Jia's own uncle, in the early years, the Huo family was in the middle of the road, and there were too many heirs under his knees to support, Xu De's parents sent him to the Xu family to be a companion to the young master of the Xu family as a reading boy, and Huo Shurong changed his name to Xu De, and later Xu De was quite talented in reading, and the people of the Xu family cherished their talents, so they recognized him as a righteous son and made him a member of half of the Xu family. ”
"The Xu family is just a small rich family, and Xu De didn't have a chance to enter the office, so he joined the Liu family. According to Huo Jia's confession, the person who instructed him to sell exam questions to make money was Xu De. ”
Bang!
Liu Xiangcheng took half a step backwards and directly hit the chair next to his legs, losing most of the blood on his face.
Xu De, how could it be Xu De?
He has followed him for nearly ten years, and he has never been loyal to him, and their Liu family has never treated Xu De badly, how could he do such a thing secretly, where did he put him, and where did he put the Liu family, he simply wanted to kill them!
Feng Qizhou saw Liu Xiangcheng's expression, his eyes flashed slightly, and said: "I have asked people to arrest Xu De, but I found that he is not in Beijing, does Liu Ge know where Xu De is?"
Liu Xiangcheng's face turned pale: "I asked him to go to Liucheng to do things for me a few days ago......" After he subconsciously finished speaking, he raised his head suddenly: "Master Feng, don't get me wrong, the old man doesn't know that Xu De actually did such a thing, otherwise I would definitely not let him leave Beijing." ”
Feng Qizhou frowned: "Then this matter is tricky." ”
"Lord Wu and I are under the orders of His Majesty to strictly investigate this matter, there will definitely be people in the court and the two of us, I also want to believe that this matter has nothing to do with Liu Ge Lao, but these two confessions will not last too long, if someone reports this matter to Your Majesty at that time, Lord Wu and I will also be responsible. ”
"I asked the elder of the pavilion to come over today, it was for Xu De's business, but who thinks that it is a waste of effort, it seems that I have to find someone from Fengtianfu to help me arrest Xu De. ”
Liu Xiangcheng listened to Feng Qizhou's words, and the expression on his face kept changing, one was for Xu De, and the other was for today's events.
Xu De's matter did hit him hard, even if Jiang Jinsong was brought into Dali Temple before, he never thought that the fraud case would have something to do with him, but Jiang Jinsong is different from Xu De, once Xu De is really involved, he will definitely not be able to get out of the relationship.
What happened here made him feel uneasy, but what made him even more incomprehensible was why Feng Qizhou would show mercy to his subordinates and even help him.
Xu De's matter, if Feng Qizhou delivered the confessions of Ma Yujie and Jiang Jinsong to Emperor Yongzhen as they were, he would definitely be caught off guard at that time, although Emperor Yongzhen had some affection for the Liu family, but the premise of that affection was that they consciously stayed away from the court over the years, and even did not interfere in any affairs of the court.
Once Emperor Yongzhen thought that he was using the imperial examination for profit, or even ambitious, that trace of affection would be gone.
Liu Xiangcheng thinks that he has nothing to make Feng Qizhou's subordinates merciful, although they did a secret thing about Feng Yuansu at the beginning, Feng Qizhou may not know about it, and now he treats him like this, what is it for?
Seeing that Feng Qizhou had put away those confessions, Liu Xiangcheng suddenly spoke: "Why did Lord Feng keep his hand on my Liu family?"
Seeing Feng Qizhou looking up at him, Liu Xiangcheng said slowly: "I have never had a relationship with Lord Feng, and my Liu family has no relationship with Rong Anbo's Mansion, Lord Feng has never been a person who will show favoritism, why would he show mercy to my Liu family's subordinates this time, and remind him?"
