Chapter 354: Interrogating Meng Qingquan
Meng Yuanxiang shouted wronged.
Wang Heng sneered: "Wronged? Lord Meng, is it your order to kill Fan Cheng and the others?
He ordered Governor Pei to detail the slaughter of the Qiu family.
Governor Pei confessed: In the process of killing Qiu's ship, Qiu's family cried out for mercy. The commander of the forbidden army made Fan Cheng feel strange and reminded Li Rui, saying that they seemed to have made a mistake, this was not a pirate, it was a maritime merchant, and they also knew the name of the Qiu family.
Pei Gang and Li Rui did not listen, saying that the information they got would never be wrong, and also said that most of the pirates were born in maritime merchants, and they robbed at sea while doing business, and ordered them to slaughter the "pirates". In the chaos, Qiu Jie, a ten-year-old boy from the Qiu family, fell into the water, quietly climbed into the boat of the officers and soldiers to hide, and was covered by Fan Cheng and taken ashore.
Qiu Jie wanted to avenge his family, so Fan Cheng asked him to report Pei Gang and others according to the Inspectorate Division. Because at that time, the deputy envoy of the Mingzhou Sentencing Prosecutor was Lin Ping, and Lin Ping was upright, so he could find out the case. Who knew that Qiu Jie was young and ignorant, and met Jiang Fang, the political envoy, who mistook it for Lin Ping and revealed his identity. Jiang Fang and Meng Yuanxiang were the same raccoon dogs, and they suppressed the matter, causing Fan Cheng and two subordinates to be wiped out.
Fortunately, Qiu Jie escaped.
After the incident, Lin Ping's multi-party investigation was fruitless. It is precisely for this reason that he and Meng Yuanxiang formed a grudge, and was later recommended by Wang Jian to enter Beijing and enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Wang Hengchuan Qiu Jie testified in court.
Li Rui and Jiang Fang also confessed.
The two ships of the Shi family were suppressed more cleanly, only Pei Zhifu and Li Rui knew the inside story, and the forbidden army below did not know at all, only the pirates were killed.
Meng Yuanxiang was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and shouted: "No! This is a conspiracy! This official has received accurate information that he is a pirate! Wang Antai, you declare a personal vendetta——"
Wang Heng shouted: "This should be verified by the Criminal Department." Can you deny the fact of the massacre of the Qiu family and the Shi family's sea boats? And—" He picked up a file and slapped it on the public case with a "snap"—"These are also conspiracies?"
The people of Dongluo Province became pirates, and his parents, wives and children persuaded him and couldn't bear to be disturbed, so they secretly moved to his aunt's village to avoid him. Meng Yuanxiang learned the news, and in order to capture Wan Zhou, he ordered Pei Gang to lead people to kill Wan Zhou's entire family and his aunt's family, but it became the extermination of pirates in the credit book.
The wife of the maritime merchant Tan and the Wu family quarreled over a string of purple pearl necklaces. Tan's wife didn't know the Wu family, so she threw out the necklace at a high price and laughed at the Wu family's poor acidity. In order to vent his anger for his wife, Meng Yuanxiang used all kinds of means afterwards to force Tan's family to ruin and take back the necklace and give it to Wu.
During his term of office, Meng Yuanxiang colluded with Qin Shen, an official of the Mingzhou City Shipping Department, to extract a share of the goods of overseas merchants in addition to tariffs, making profits of several hundred thousand yuan every year; extorting tributary goods from foreign merchants and withholding countless treasures; participating in maritime trade, he did not even contribute capital, but only collected a share of dry shares, and obtained high profits every year.
……
In the end, Wang Heng and Zhao Yin were ordered to go to Mingzhou to investigate the pirate case, Wang Heng was framed by Meng Yuanxiang's henchmen in Mingzhou, fortunately Zhao Yin rescued him, and they were exiled on a desert island for half a year, and met Qiu Jie because of a blessing in disguise.
……
One by one, human and physical evidence, ironclad evidence!
Meng Yuanxiang felt that Wang Heng had done more to verify than he had done as a governor, and he had checked almost everything he had done during his tenure.
This is hell-bent on killing him!
He stared at Wang Heng viciously.
Wang Heng also looked at him coldly.
"Master Meng, do you still want to deny it?"
"Is your royal family clean? Your crime is even greater! Your wife disguised herself as a man and deceived the king...... Wang Antai, you won't end well!"
"Come on, bring it down!"
Wang Heng commanded expressionlessly.
Meng Yuanxiang was dragged out.
Meng Qingquan was escorted up.
Meng Qingquan's steps were slow, her head hung down, and she couldn't retract her neck into her abdomen, because although the chilblains on her face had healed, they had left scars.
The Meng family is not only in Meng Yuanxiang's room, it stands to reason that if something happens to them, the Meng family should always send someone to visit the prison, but Mrs. Wang is also the daughter of the Meng family, and Meng Yuangu is her brother, so how to choose is still to say? Moreover, the fourth old lady of the Meng family hates Meng Qingquan deeply, and feels that Meng Yuanxiang was harmed by this daughter, how could he send someone to visit her. Therefore, the injury on Meng Qingquan's face was not diagnosed and treated in time, and it became what it is now.
"Who is kneeling?" asked Wang Heng as usual.
Meng Qingquan raised his head sharply and met a pair of bright eyes, which were also engraved in her heart day and night, but at this time he stared at her mottled and ugly cheeks.
She reached out in horror to cover her face, trembling like chaff all over her body - meeting in this situation was no less than Ling Chi for her!
The pain is extreme, and so is the hatred.
She hates Lin Xin'er!
Hate Liang Xinming!
Wang Heng looked at the woman in the hall, his eyes turned sharply.
The two looked at each other quietly, and suddenly Meng Qingquan put down his hand and smiled at him: "The adults don't know the little girl?
The court was quiet, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Wang Heng nodded solemnly and said, "The official has not forgotten." When I turned around, I asked the girl to talk about the ensemble. For now, the girl still answered the official first. ”
When Meng Qingquan saw him like this, his heart hurt.
After the routine Q&A, Wang Heng suddenly shouted: "Meng Qingquan, back then, you designed to murder the official's wife?
Meng Qingquan replied: "The adult is young and promising, and the investigation methods are famous all over the world, since it is said that the little woman murdered the adult's wife, the truth must have been ascertained and the evidence is conclusive." Then ask the adults to come forward and convict the little girl. ”
Wang Heng looked at her steadily.
She looked at him steadily, too.
After a long time, he said, "Do you think that this official can do nothing to you?"
The corners of her mouth curled, and she said, "Adults won't be like Lin Xin'er, relying on their official status and power, to ask someone to torture a little woman to extract a confession, right?"
This is a riposte to Wang Heng's interrogation -- you say that I murdered your wife, but what about the evidence? It's also a provocation -- don't you know how to investigate, why can't you find out?
Wang Heng was angry for a moment, but quickly calmed down again.
He said majestically: "You have no basis to frame the official of the court, and if this official asks someone to slap his mouth, you will also be to blame." However, this official does not need to torture you, but he can still convict you, because you yourself are the best witness!"
Meng Qingquan was puzzled and didn't understand his words.
Wang Heng said loudly: "Pass Zhou Hanlin to the court!"
Everyone was puzzled, Zeng Qingnian, the imperial history of Zuodu, and Sun Yu, the prince of Dali Temple, glanced at each other, and they didn't know what kind of medicine Wang Heng sold in the gourd.
Zhou Chang went to court and confirmed that before Meng Wulan left Beijing two years ago, he went to find Liang Xinming. And Liang Xinming also left testimony to prove that Meng Wulan came to her that time to ask her to come forward to persuade Wang Heng to let go of his heart and marry Meng Qingquan. However, Liang Xinming had not yet come forward to persuade him, and the Wang family and the Meng family quit on the same day, so this matter was over.
Then, it was Meng Wulan who testified in court.
Meng Qingquan was so ashamed, she was really dizzy, she actually went to ask Lin Xin'er to fulfill her and Wang Heng, isn't this self-inflicted!
But what does this have to do with this case?
She didn't understand Wang Heng's intentions.
