Chapter 92: A Mountain and a Mountain High (II)
But for these three salt merchants who are about to be quarantined, the biggest problem is that even if they see the routine, even if Fan Hongdao blatantly tells the calculation, it will be difficult for them to crack. γβ³Netγ
They are not people who have undergone relevant training, who can guarantee that after the other two are tortured, they can still work together to insist on not confessing their inside information?
If one person is shaken, all the defenses will collapse, and the other two will surely be guilty of not confessing. But if the other two people want to prevent being convicted, then why don't they take the initiative to confess first?
The three salt merchants looked at each other a few times, and they needed to take the initiative to soften at this time, so as not to suffer from excess flesh and skin.
Although they didn't expect Fan Hongdao's approach before they came, they also discussed that once they encountered force majeure, they would immediately accept it and never resist stubbornly.
He Jiangshui choked with Fan Hongdao just now, and he didn't have the cheekiness to talk anymore at this time, so he changed people to talk to Fan Hongdao and beg for mercy.
"We should not be chasing after the wind and shadows, and we should not believe the rumors by mistake! We are willing to withdraw the accusation and apologize to Mr. Han in public!" Bian Wenli, another salt merchant, immediately said to Fan Hongdao.
Xu She, the only salt merchant who has never opened his mouth, also rushed to beg for mercy: "My family and the old and young are counting on transporting salt to make a living, and now it is indeed a momentary emergency, if there is a place to rush into the procuratorate, I am willing to admit my guilt and admit my mistakes." γβ³ηΆ²γ"
Wei An, the old official who was responsible for assisting Fan Hongdao, couldn't help but praise it, this Fan Hongdao did have two hits, and three times five divided by two made these troublesome businessmen admit defeat.
As the so-called soldiers surrender without a fight, it is really good to be able to solve the problem without blood before the matter is completely troubled.
If it were someone else, it was really rare to have such a neat and agile reaction in a short period of time, no wonder although this Fan Xiucai was a little arrogant, he could get the trust of the old imperial history.
Now, as long as you teach these salt merchants a few words, and then punish them, and get back the face of the procuratorate, you can go back to the old imperial history to give an account, regardless of the merit and hard work.
In this way, Wei An handed Fan Hongdao a few looks, and suggested that he accept it when he saw it. But his eyes looked like he was flattering to a blind man, completely useless, and Fan Xiucai didn't notice it at all.
"What are you jumping clowns who have been pushed out?" Fan Hongdao said with a cold face: "You bastards are guilty of denial, I'm not interested, I don't care what you think." β
The look is cold, and the words spoken are even colder, it is simply stepping on someone else's face and humiliating. Even Wei An on Fan Hongdao's side was dumbfounded, everyone had already admitted their mistakes and relented, what else did Fan Hongdao want to do?
The three salt merchants finally realized how difficult the young man standing in front of them was, and they couldn't help but be shocked and frightened. He Jiangshui shouted: "Killing people is not enough, and it will not be possible to force us sufferers to a dead end!"
Fan Hongdao pointed at He Jiangshui and commented: "You have a good white face, but it is a little deliberate and excessive. β
Fan Hongdao's words sounded like a joke, but no one in the audience could laugh. Wei An approached Fan Hongdao's side and said in a low voice, "What does Mr. Fan want?"
Fan Hongdao seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and said to the three salt merchants: "Maybe I didn't make it clear and let you misunderstand, it's all my fault."
In fact, I don't need you to admit your mistakes, and I don't care if you misunderstand Han Yanchang, let alone what your goals and demands are. That's not what I want you to confess. β
He Jiangshui asked, "Then what do you want?"
Fan Hongdao replied word by word: "What I need to know is, who planned, organized, and conspired with you salt merchants to come to the procuratorate to gather people to make trouble?
He Jiangshui panicked and shouted: "You think too much, but we really feel that we have encountered injustice, so we came spontaneously!"
Fan Hongdao shouted at the officer: "Do you take my words as a deaf ear? Don't you take them down separately! If you refuse to confess, you will fight until you confess!"
He also instructed Wei An: "You go to inspect the prison, and if any officer dares to be lazy and indulgent, he will be sent to the salt pond to collect salt!"
Wei An was already stunned, he was his husband who had been in the government for many years, and since he heard the words "Salt Transportation Division", he understood that Fan Hongdao was going to Dali!
Otherwise, how could Fan Hongdao deliberately emphasize the words "Salt Transportation Division"? This is clearly to follow the vines of these salt merchants to touch the melons of the Salt Transportation Division.
It turned out that Fan Hongdao's mind was not on these salt merchants at all from the beginning, and his vision from beginning to end was always the salt transportation department, not just a few salt merchants.
Someone took advantage of the matter of Zhu Gongzi and Han Yanchang to make a fuss, and came to the procuratorate to cause trouble, and Fan Hongdao can be regarded as returning the other way to the other.
The servants didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly divided into three groups to drag the three salt merchants behind, He Jiangshui struggled violently, kicked the stone slab and howled: "You are a trick to beat, spread out, the discussion is raging, who is willing to obey!"
Fan Hongdao pretended to be happy and said: "That's great! I'm looking forward to it, someone really jumps out to fight for you! It just so happens that you can also invite him to come to the procuratorate to be beaten with a stick, in this Siyan City, there must be no one who can't be invited by the procuratorate, right?"
He Jiangshui had never seen such a rampant and angry person, and he was so angry for a while that he almost fainted.
It didn't take long for an errand officer to come out with two confessions. Fan Hongdao glanced at it a few times, and there was only one name worth paying attention to in the whole article - Song Xiyuan, the experience of the Salt Transportation Division.
Fan Hongdao said hatefully: "As expected, it is indeed a group of moths of the country in collusion between officials and businessmen!"
The confession tried by this method of separation and isolation should be generally incorrect, and today's incident of salt merchants gathering crowds to make trouble should be planned and instructed by this Song Xiyuan and Song experience. A powerful official of the Salt Transportation Division must have this ability.
After that, Fan Hongdao handed the confession to Wei Yuan and asked the temporary assistant to read it as well.
Wei An, an old official, claimed to have been sent to assist Fan Hongdao, but found that there was nothing he could do, and it was useless to give advice. In fact, he is still a little curious, what will Fan Hongdao do next?
At this time, he heard Fan Hongdao as if he was talking to himself: "Do you want to set a trap and invite this Song Shi over again?" Maybe from his mouth, a higher official can be dug up." β
Wei An couldn't help but sweat coldly, ordinary officials of the Salt Transportation Department were still not satisfied?
At first, he thought that Fan Hongdao was only thinking about cleaning up a few salt merchants, calming the situation and recovering face for the procuratorate, but he was wrong;
Later, he thought that Fan Hongdao's purpose was to dig out the officials of the Salt Transportation Division, and to play the purpose of counterattacking and defending to attack the mountain and shock the tiger, but he was still wrong.
There is a mountain and a mountain high, how high is Fan Hongdao's vision? Could it be that there are rumors in private that the rumor that Fan Hongdao wants to step on the Zhang family in Puzhou is true?
He was a small official, and he really couldn't understand the madman's thoughts and realms, so Wei An wiped the sweat from his forehead and wiped it again. Carefully said to Fan Hongdao: "Let's not make any claims, let's report the results to Master Gao first?"
