Chapter 224: Close the case as soon as possible
The next day, Ru Yan waited until it was dark before Gongsun Ziyuan appeared, followed by an attendant who escorted a man over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is this the main culprit in the smuggling salt case you are looking for?" , Ru Yan asked.
"If you don't believe it, you can be interrogated again!" , Gong Sun Ziyuan said disdainfully.
Ru Yan looked at the man, with a square face and fat ears, but he looked like a profiteer, but if she wanted to say that he was the main culprit in this illegal salt case, she really didn't believe it.
"Raise your head!" , Ru Yan said.
The man who was escorted still hung his head and remained silent until Gongsun Ziyuan kicked him in the ass, "Look up, how can the adults talk to you, you are deaf?" ”
At this time, the man slowly raised his head and looked at Ru Yan.
Ru Yan glared at Gongsun Ziyuan and said, "Are you trying the case, or am I trying the case?" ”
Gongsun Ziyuan spread his hands, "You, of course it's you!" Go on! ”
Only then did Ru Yan retract her gaze, looked at the obese man in custody, and asked as usual, "What is your name, and who is it?" ”
The man replied: "Back to the adult, the villain is a local person in Yuncheng, and the villain's name is Zhu Wu!" ”
"What, your name is Zhu Wu?" , Ru Yan asked in surprise.
At this time, even Zhu Wu himself was stunned and asked, "Big ...... Adult, do you know the villain? ”
Ru Yan suddenly remembered the salt seller she had begun to interrogate, and the salt seller had mentioned Zhu Wu, but now that the salt seller was already an informant under her hands, she couldn't mention the matter and expose that person.
Ru Yan cleared her throat and replied, "Of course I don't know you!" How would I have known you! ”
Zhu Wu lowered his head again after hearing this.
"Zhu Wu, let me ask you, are you really the main culprit in the smuggling salt case?" , Ru Yan asked.
Zhu Wu raised his head suddenly, and was about to speak, Gongsun Ziyuan grabbed Zhu Wu's chin, and added in a weird manner: "Zhu Wu, you have to speak well in front of adults, and recruit from the truth, if you are not a villain, let Uncle Ben find out that you are cheating and playing tricks, Uncle Ben's methods, you have seen it!" ”
Ru Yan knew that Zhu Wu must not be the main culprit, but Gongsun Ziyuan dragged him over to take the blame, but Gongsun Ziyuan's behavior was clearly threatening Zhu Wu.
"Gongsun Ziyuan, what are you doing?" , Ru Yan roared angrily.
Gongsun Ziyuan replied with a hippie smile: "My lord, you don't know, this Zhu Wu is a cunning thousand-year-old fox, I am warning him, don't sneak in front of you, you have to be careful about this guy!" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, you let me out now!" , Ru Yan said sharply.
Gongsun Ziyuan looked at Ru Yan and responded: "I won't go out, I was sent by the emperor to assist you in investigating the case, and I don't have to go out when the case is being tried!" ”
"Please get out, I don't need your help!" , Ru Yan replied.
"Okay, just get out, you think I'd like to stay here? Oops, anyway, the case is about to be solved, and I will soon leave Yuncheng and return to the capital, so I might as well take this opportunity to go to Wanhualou to be happy! After Gongsun Ziyuan finished speaking, he waved his hand and left.
"You can go too!" , Ru Yan said to the entourage who came with her grandson Yuanzhuren.
The entourage handed Zhu Wu over to the soldiers, and also left with Gongsun Ziyuan.
"Okay, no one threatens you now, Zhu Wu, you can tell me the truth now!" , Ru Yan said.
"My lord, the truth is ...... That is, I am the main culprit in the smuggling salt case! Zhu Wu replied.
"Did they torture you before?" , Ru Yan asked.
"Lord Hui, no one tortured me, everything was voluntarily confessed by me!" , Zhu Wu replied.
Ru Yan glanced at the soldiers behind her and motioned for them to check whether Zhu Wu had any injuries on his body.
After the soldier inspected Zhu Wu, he reported to Ru Yan, "My lord, Zhu Wu has no major injuries on his body!" ”
"What did they threaten you with?" , Ru Yan asked.
At this time, Zhu Wu paused for a moment, then shook his head again and denied it.
"Zhu Wu, do you know what the consequences will be after you confess your guilt indiscriminately?" , Ru Yan asked.
"Back to the adult, the villain knows the consequences, but the villain is not indiscriminately admitting guilt, the villain is indeed the main culprit in this case!" , Zhu Wu replied.
"Zhu Wu, if you really have any grievances, you can tell me, you don't have to hide them because you are afraid of them! I am an official sent by the emperor, with me, the emperor is the master for you, you don't have to be afraid! Ru Yan said.
Zhu Wu raised his head again, looked at Ru Yan, and there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but after he thought about it, he shook his head and denied it, still insisting that he was the main culprit, and no one had threatened him.
The good and bad Ru Yan is also finished, Zhu Wu still wants to admit his guilt, and Ru Yan has no other way but to take him into custody first, and then see the progress of the follow-up matter.
The day after this incident, Gongsun Ziyuan came to urge Ru Yan to close the case, and Gongsun Ziyuan was still followed by yesterday's entourage.
"Why are you so anxious?" , Ru Yan asked Gongsun Ziyuan.
"I also want to ask you, why are you in such a hurry and return to Beijing as soon as possible, isn't it great? Good for you, good for me! As far as I am concerned, I will be able to ask the emperor for officials earlier, and you, the sooner you return to Beijing, you will be able to see the prince of Huainan earlier! Oh, yes, even if you don't have a good relationship and you don't want to see him, you still have friends and acquaintances in the capital, right? Gongsun Ziyuan replied.
Ru Yan sneered: "I see, it turns out that you are in a hurry to become an official!" ”
"That's right, I'm in a hurry to become an official, so what, is there something wrong? Zhu Wu had already pleaded guilty and been detained, and he also found private salt in his home, and there were other witnesses, are these not enough to close the case? Gongsun Ziyuan asked.
Ru Yan shook her head and replied, "I really don't know how many lives will be lost when you become an official!" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, unless on that day, I became an official and really committed something, and the adults can be ordered to check on me!" , Gongsun Ziyuan replied.
Ru Yan sighed and replied, "Okay, you go and prepare those evidences and present them to me, I'll plan it as soon as possible!" ”
"I can't give it to you yet!" , Gongsun Ziyuan replied.
"Why, haven't you made your perjury in time?" , Ru Yan said sarcastically.
"It's still in the Changhong Prince's Mansion now, I'll get it for you tomorrow!" , Gongsun Ziyuan replied.
"No, I want it now! Tomorrow's submission is invalid! Ru Yan replied.
"You...... You did it on purpose, right? Gongsun Ziyuan asked angrily.
"Yes, I did mean to!" , Ru Yan said provocatively.
"You, go back and get it for me!" , Gongsun Ziyuan instructed the attendant.
The attendant answered and departed.
Gongsun Ziyuan deliberately chased after him to confirm that the entourage had left before returning again.
"Well acted, Xiao Yuan!" , Ru Yan said with a smile.
"Each other, Sister Yan!" , Gongsun Ziyuan also smiled. (To be continued.) )
