Chapter 194: Tell it all
After Cen Feng said this, he left the cell with Gu Hanqing, leaving Gu Chen alone to sit in the shadows and ponder. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although he said that he was giving Gu Chen time to think about it, in fact, it was also to let Gu Chen know that he was not in a hurry, and even had time to consume him.
In Gu Chen's opinion, the longer this day dragged on, the more information and clues Tu Ling Si would grasp outside.
After all, this case involves a lot of people, and there are still many people hiding in the shadows, if Tu Lingsi finds one of them, his value to Cen Feng will be greatly reduced.
At that time, not to mention that there will be a chance to get out of here alive, and even torture in this rumored Hades Palace.
As Cen Feng said when he left, life is better than death.
So after weighing and being silent for a day and a night, he finally made up his mind to take a gamble, and promised to tell most of the truth first, as a sincere intention to cooperate with them.
It all goes back four years.
At that time, the Qinghe Gang he was in charge of was shipwrecked while transporting goods at sea, losing both people and money, suffering heavy losses, and asking for help everywhere to no avail, just when he was anxious, he was suddenly found by the prince's henchman, that is, Wei Yan, who was still a petty official in the household department at that time.
Of course, for the sake of insurance, Wei Yan kept his mouth shut and did not reveal half a word about the identity of the prince.
And Gu Chen only wanted to get money to make up for the losses and revitalize the Qinghe Gang at that time, so he didn't care who was behind the scenes, what the purpose was, and after weighing it a few times, he opened his mouth and agreed.
Adhering to the principle of cooperating with each other and taking what each gains, he followed the other brothers of the Qinghe Gang all the way, and finally robbed the huge amount of disaster relief official silver allocated by the imperial court to Bizhou at the foot of the mountain at the junction of Lin'an and Tongcheng.
Since someone in charge of the escort had already been bribed by Wei Yan at that time, everything went very smoothly.
Most of the people in the Qinghe Gang were assembled by alternative people who wandered outside the law, and in order to prevent future troubles, they also ruthlessly killed all the officials who were in charge of escorting at that time.
The matter has been completed, and the two sides agreed to divide it into three. After the money was in hand, Gu Chen specially left the capital to avoid the limelight out of caution, until the wind became quieter, and then returned to the capital with a group of brothers.
After returning to the capital, he learned that the original Hubu Shangshu was dismissed by Emperor Zhou and investigated, and Wei Yan was suddenly promoted to this position.
But at this point, the two parties have also parted ways, and they are no longer in contact, and he has not pursued it further.
Because there were too few clues left at the scene, and there were no eyewitnesses, the case has been unsolved and has become a headless public case.
It wasn't until three years after the incident that when He Nian, who had robbed the official silver with Gu Chen, was gambling outside, he was chased and killed because of his gambling debts, thinking that he was not afraid of the incident for many days, so he took the official silver he received at that time to pay off the debt.
The official bank, which disappeared back then, suddenly flowed out of the market, which attracted Cen Feng's attention.
He followed this clue to capture Fang He Nian and temporarily detain him in the prison of the Criminal Department, trying to lure out his accomplices.
After hearing about this, Gu Chen naturally fidgeted, fearing that Fang Nian would not be able to stand the punishment and shake out everything that had happened back then.
Just when he wanted to consult with Wei Yanshi, who was already the secretary of the household department at the time, Wei Yan also suddenly came to the door to conspire with him to kidnap the prisoner, and claimed that he would send people to provoke unrest in Xishi that day, so as to lure half of the officers and soldiers of the criminal department to suppress it and persuade him not to be too nervous.
The robbery of prisoners is not trivial, and now life is not easy to live, as he gets older, Gu Chen doesn't want to do such a risky thing anymore.
But he was worried that Fang He Nian would affect the entire Qinghe Gang, and it would be even more difficult to clean up at that time, so in desperation, he had no choice but to agree to Wei Yan's request again, and on the day Gao Heng went to the Heavenly Prison to interrogate Fang He Nian, he was ready to do it.
However, he never expected that all of this would be a trap carefully designed by Wei Yan, please enter the urn.
His purpose is not actually Fang He Nian, but himself and the entire Qinghe Gang.
At that time, Wei Yan kept saying that it was just in case, and deliberately sent some people to reinforce Gu Chen, but later she learned that these people were all killers carefully selected by Wei Yan, and they wanted to kill themselves.
After entering the prison, those people began to show their true colors and slaughter the men they had brought.
It was at that moment that he understood that Wei Yan wanted to take the opportunity of the prisoner robbery to kill all his people, so that the truth about the disaster relief officer's case would be buried forever.
Seeing that the people he brought with him fell in front of him, in order to escape and ascend to heaven so that he could avenge his blood hatred one day, in desperation, he took out the matches on his body and lit the hay, and chose to set fire to the prison to create chaos.
As the fire became more and more intense, all the people began to flee in order to save their lives, and even the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the prison were in danger and fell into a messy situation.
Under the thick smoke, Gu Chen was in a hurry, killed a prisoner who was similar to his body, and put the piece of ink jade that symbolized his identity into the prisoner's clothes, kicked him to the place where the fire was most intense and burned him to a charred corpse, and then escaped from the prison in the crowd. The operation suffered heavy casualties, and there were very few Qinghe Gang brothers who escaped from the prison with him.
He was full of grief and indignation in his heart, and he just wanted the prince and Wei Yan to pay for their blood debts, but he was worried that if the news of his survival was known to outsiders, he would be surrounded and hunted down by the prince.
Therefore, I can only endure the hatred in my heart and temporarily remain incognito and be a dead person.
At that time, he didn't know that Fang He Nian was originally taken out of the prison by those people, and he also created the illusion of suicide and left a blood letter to prove that Gu Hanqing was the mastermind behind the scenes, so as to frame it.
It wasn't until Gu Hanqing was suddenly taken away by Cen Feng in the mansion that he was shocked to learn about it, but because he had a grudge against the Gu family, he didn't ask, and even wished that the Gu family could be overturned because of this incident.
At this point, Gu Chen did not continue to narrate the part about Yuyin Villa.
First, the later events are no longer relevant to this case, and secondly, Gu Chen doesn't want more people to know that the reason why he sneaked into Yanwang's Mansion and was arrested is because he was used by a female streamer like Xu Ruyan.
After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, although Cen Feng had a general grasp of everything in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.
From Gu Chen's testimony, it can be heard that the person he came into contact with from beginning to end was Wei Yan, the head of the household department.
If you want to blame Wei Yan, this matter is not difficult, but if you directly testify against the prince, it is still a bit far-fetched after all.
