Chapter XXV: Second Instance

The second trial began three days later. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past three days, Song Yan has been busy a lot, asking people to visit the river workers, and interrogating the two people sent by the Nine Emperor Princes.

The two men in black really couldn't endure the torture, and confessed that they were instructed by Foreman Wu to assassinate the woman Zhang. Where is Song Yan willing to believe? It was possible for the foreman to hire a few ruffians and hooligans, but where could a master like these two be hired by a small foreman?

Song Yan understands that this case involves a lot, and if he is not careful, he will be unlucky, so he is very cautious. He showed no mercy to the two assassins, and under torture again and again, the bones of both of them were about to be broken, and the two couldn't stand it anymore and confessed.

When Song Yan heard the name of Cui Youdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he was really taken aback. No wonder even the prince's first confidant, the Nine Emperors, personally supervised the trial, it turns out that there is such a big fish hidden inside!

As soon as Cui Youdao is mentioned, the second prince is inevitably involved. And here the Nine Emperors are in charge. If this thing doesn't get it right, it's really a big case. Thinking of this, Song Yan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

As soon as the second instance was promoted, Song Yan asked people to bring the plaintiff and the defendant, and the two men in black were arraigned. Since the two have confessed, there is nothing to hide, and they told the story of how Cui Youdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, sent him and the two to assassinate the plaintiff and the defendant.

As soon as Wu Youde heard that Master Shangshu was going to assassinate him, his face changed drastically, and his heart was cold. He is desperately under pressure here, but these big people don't care about his life or death.

Song Yan's criminal department book for so many years is not in vain. Seeing that the Wu foreman changed his face, he shouted at him and asked, "Wu Youde, do you know why Lord Shangshu sent someone to assassinate you?" ”

That Wu Youde was already panicked, and was asked by Song Yanhe, only to tremble in fright, and snorted: "Villain...... The villain doesn't know. ”

"Hmph, a little person like you, Cui Shangshu knows which one you are? Why do you want to hurt you? Still not from the truth? After Song Yan asked, he slammed the sound of shocking trees, and the sound spread in the empty hall, which really had a shocking effect.

That Wu Youde was scared in his heart, and he was stimulated by the two black-clothed men before, and he confessed ruthlessly.

The Wu foreman said: "The villain only took over the position of this foreman in the past two years, and all the things that are deducted and delinquent are done in accordance with the previous rules, not the first time that the villain has taken over." It's only this year that a lot of people were killed because of the collapse of the river embankment, which made things out of control. The villain also acts in accordance with the instructions of the superiors, please be aware of the adults, the villain is not the first offender! As he spoke, he lay on the ground and kowtowed, hoping that the adults would see that he would sincerely repent.

Song Yan said: "Where did the deducted silver go?" ”

Wu Youde said: "Shangguan allocates money to the villain according to the actual amount paid, and the extra money does not reach the villain at all." ”

Song Yan asked Wu Youde to draw a charge, and then brought people down.

Because this matter involved the Ministry of Works, a second-class member like him, of course he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he had to ask the Nine Emperor Princes who were instructing the supervisor and say: "Your Royal Highness the Nine, I'm afraid you need to ask Master Cui about this matter, but the rights of the lower officials are limited, so I don't dare to summon myself!" ”

The Nine Emperors are here to supervise the trial, and this is what they are waiting for, so they said to Song Yan: "Since the matter involves Lord Cui Shangshu, then let the people from the palace ask Cui Shangshu to ask one or two, and it is not considered a trial." ”

After the Nine Emperors said, he turned to Mu Qing and said: "Mu Qing listens to the order, you take a few people to Lord Cui's mansion to ask for someone, and say that there is a case to ask Lord Cui to help investigate." ”

Mu Qing was ordered to rush to Cui's Mansion with a group of guards to find someone.

In Cui's house, Cui Youdao has worked hard these days because of this case. He took advantage of the fact that before Song Yan sent people to investigate the river workers, he found a few henchmen and led people to sort out all those river workers, or tempted or intimidated, and blocked the mouth tightly.

Only the two Assassins were a bit of a problem now. Fortunately, he had kept a hand on both Assassins in the first place, and controlled their relatives in his hands. Now, as long as those two can survive the criminal law, there will be no problem.

How did he know that if it was an ordinary case, Song Yan would take care of his face, and he would not chase after him. Only this time, Song Yan keenly found that there were too many unusual things in this case, so he naturally didn't dare to be perfunctory, and even punished the two assassins. If the methods of the Criminal Department are really used, there are really few that can survive.

In fact, this case didn't need Cui Youdao to take action in person. Just because of Jiang Moyan's sudden appearance and verbal provocation a few days ago, Cui Youdao was scared half to death. And because of Jiang Moyan's current identity, Cui Youdao didn't dare to move her easily. Cui Youdao was afraid that the old incident would also take this opportunity to break out, so he really couldn't resist, so he was in a hurry to understand the case first. Unexpectedly, the two people sent out fell into someone else's trap by accident.

Since that day, Cui Youdao has been a little restless, but there is nothing he can do. Now he only hopes that the two men in black can take care of their families and grit their teeth. I also looked forward to the eldest lady Tong Xifeng, as a big girl who had not been out of the cabinet, and refused to go to court to avenge her grandfather, taking care of her reputation.

Who would have thought that as soon as the second trial began, someone from the Nine Emperors came to the door. When Cui Youdao heard the housekeeper's report, his heart almost jumped out in shock.

The housekeeper looked at the old man's uneasy look and said with concern: "Master, or do you say that you are unwell and pushed it?" ”

Cui Youdao glared at him, and said angrily: "Push, push." Do you dare to push the people of the Nine Emperors? Are you trying to get me in trouble? He paced back and forth irritably, and asked the butler, "How many of them have come?" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly replied: "There are six people in total, led by Lord Mu Qing, the personal guard of the Nine Emperor Princes. ”

Cui Youdao frowned, and said with a headache: "This person is the confidant of the Nine Emperor Princes, and he can't be offended." The Nine Emperor Princes have intervened in this matter, and it must be the crown prince who has found some clues, and I am afraid that something bad will happen. How good is that? ”

Cui Youdao thought for a long time before saying to the housekeeper: "You quickly send someone to tell His Second Highness and ask him to go to His Majesty to think of a way." ”

The housekeeper agreed, but seeing that Cui Youdao no longer commanded, he asked again: "Then what about these people?" ”

Cui Youdao said angrily: "What else can I do, don't invite people in?" ”

The butler said yes and trotted out. Here Cui Youdao paced a few steps irritably, clapped his hands, and said to himself: "Just based on the confessions of a few people, you want to bring down the old man?" Hmph, where are you afraid of him? ”

There was not much time, Mu Qing brought people in, saw Cui Shangshu, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Humble Mu Qing, on the orders of His Royal Highness the Nineth, please come to the lobby of the Criminal Department to assist in the investigation of a case, please go immediately." ”

Cui Youdao asked tentatively, "I don't know what kind of case it is?" ”

Mu Qing arched his hand and said: "I was only ordered to ask the adults to go and assist in the investigation, as for what the case is, the adults will know when they arrive." ”

Cui Youdao saw that his tone was tight, and he couldn't ask anything, so he had to laugh and say: "That's it, then the old man will accompany you on a trip." He turned back to the housekeeper at the door and said, "Go and prepare the sedan chair, my lord, I will go to the criminal department." ”

The butler said yes and went out. After a while, he hurriedly ran back and exclaimed, "The master is not good, not good!" ”
