Chapter 238: All hands are dispatched
Dayong attaches the most importance to etiquette and humility and taxation and servitude, even if the prince breaks the law, he must be guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention Liuyan's little imperial doctor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Yan naturally knows, so since she joined the Criminal Department, what she has been worried about is this matter, and she must not be able to sit on this charge.
Liu Yan shook her head, and then wrote on the paper: "The lower official is not guilty, I hope the lord will see it." ā
Wu Gang glanced at Liu Yan's reply and continued to ask: "Someone has already handed over a handwritten letter to the emperor, accusing you of suppressing the prefect to evade taxes with your official position since the opening of the Linglong Pavilion, what evidence do you have to prove your innocence?" ā
Wu Gang had already been instructed to hold a trial today, and the latter crime was the top priority of the trial, and it would be best if the case could be decided.
"Su Yuxing, the housekeeper in charge of finances in the Linglong Pavilion, can prove it." Liu Yan carried Su Yuxing out, he believed in Su Yuxing, Liu Yan had already discovered that there were spies in Linglong Pavilion, and the most suspicious person was also Su Yuling, but for Su Yuxing, she still trusted, or rather, except for Su Yuxing, he didn't know, who else could he trust, Xiao Heng? Or autumn songs, neither.
Wu Gang took a look, nodded and said, "Announce him to the palace." ā
After finishing speaking, but no one was seen, and he was a little annoyed, Lin Zhong hurriedly shouted: "Tell Lord Chief, Steward Su is in a coma and has not woken up yet." ā
"Comatose?" Wu Gang muttered, and then asked, "But what other witnesses are there?" ā
This time, Liu Yan did not state, but shook her head directly, she handed over all the financial powers of Linglong Pavilion to Su Yuxing, and now, Linglong Pavilion is half destroyed, all the account books are burned, Su Yuxing is still in a coma, it seems that no one can prove her innocence.
Seeing Liu Yan shaking his head, a smile flashed in Wu Gang's eyes, but before he could speak, Xiao Heng walked out, and the guards wanted to step forward to stop him, but when he touched Xiao Heng, he was intimidated by his momentum, and automatically retreated, not daring to stop him, Xiao Heng entered the center of the hall all the way unimpeded and walked to Liu Yan's side.
Previously, he estimated the time, at this moment, Mao Mu and Qiu Ge and others must have already left, Xiao Heng assigned all his subordinates, including Qi Lin and Zhang Mu and others, to Qiu Ge to send, and he came to deal with the Criminal Department alone, he came to rescue Liu Yan, and they quickly transferred Mao Mu and others, as for Xiao Yu, he still had other things to do.
This has been arranged in advance, and now, he appears as a witness for Liuyan.
"Who are you?" Wu Gang was obviously a little angry that the official didn't stop this person, but he still didn't say anything about Xiao Heng's unfazed eyes, Xiao Heng is a person, he still knows a thing or two, from Daqi, it is very likely to be the royal family, Xiao Nai is the surname of Daqi, but there are too many branches, and for a while, he can't figure out which branch he belongs to, and the surnames of the people of the Daqi royal family are also secret, and they are not accessible to outsiders.
Therefore, his identity is extremely mysterious, although Wu Gang is the head of the Criminal Department, but he is a close confidant cultivated by the emperor, and the emperor pays attention to this person, so he naturally pays attention to it.
Xiao Heng arched his hand and said, "In Xia Xiao Heng, there is an ordinary doctor in the Linglong Pavilion. ā
Although Xiao Heng did not bow down, but bowed his head, this move had already given Wu Gang a lot of face, and he was already very low, Wu Gang was also a person who knew how to advance and retreat, at this moment, he did not force Xiao Heng to kneel, only opened one eye and closed one eye, and after Xiao Heng appeared, Rao Sha's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed before, bloomed with a trace of curiosity again.
"Can you testify?" Wu Gang asked.
"Yes." Xiao Heng nodded affirmatively, and then turned to look at Liu Yan, who had been keeping his head down on the side, silent.
She didn't expect Xiao Heng to go to the top of the main hall and directly participate in this matter, in her heart, maybe Liu Yan is now in the Criminal Department, and being exiled in the future or what, it is already the end of her life, for her, Xiao Heng no longer has any use value, at this moment, it doesn't matter if she is willing to come to watch the trial or say goodbye, but why is she involved in it, is she really afraid that Liu Yan will die?
As if sensing Xiao Heng's gaze, Liu Yan raised her head slightly, staring at Xiao Heng, her face was indifferent, her eyes were alienated, and the corners of her mouth were a sneer.
Seeing the indifference in Liu Yan's eyes, Xiao Heng was stunned, and then looked away as if fleeing, but after all, he had a good mind, and the eye contact between him and Liu Yan did not let outsiders see any clues, he was still imposing.
"Tell me first, what are the grievances in this matter? However, remember, there are no people who try to lie in the prison of the Criminal Department, otherwise, this official does not have to pay homage to Your Majesty, and will directly put you in the prison and serve the punishment. Wu Gang threatened.
Xiao Heng didn't care, and said to himself: "The pavilion master handed over the financial power in the Linglong Pavilion to the housekeeper Su Yuxing, at this moment, although he is in a coma, but there are still account books, and the account books recorded in the Linglong Pavilion are also recorded in the prefect's yamen, as long as the two are compared, it can naturally be ascertained that the pavilion master has not evaded taxes." ā
What Xiao Heng said was reasonable, but Wu Gang already knew in his heart that Linglong Pavilion was half destroyed, but it was not clear whether this account book had been burned.
But at this moment, it was not easy to poke it directly, so I had to continue to ask: "Since this is the case, then send someone to get the account books in the Linglong Pavilion." ā
When Xiao Heng heard this, he didn't say much, just stood quietly beside Liu Yan, neither explaining the half-destruction of Linglong Pavilion, nor the burning of the account books, just waiting quietly, he was delaying time, dragging on for a moment and a half, and earning a minute and a half for Qiu Ge and Xiao Yu.
Liu Yan was also silent, he didn't want to say anything more now.
Wu Gang glanced at Xiao Heng, and then lowered his head and pondered, this Xiao Heng is really calm-minded and a person who is not easy to deal with.
Half a sound, the two officials who had set out to go to Linglong Pavilion to get the account books returned, "Report, Linglong Pavilion caught fire a few days ago, almost half destroyed, and all the account books were burned. ā
"What? All burned? Wu Gang pretended to be surprised and said, and then looked at Xiao Heng, now, he wanted to see what else Xiao Heng could say.
Xiao Heng didn't mess up, he stepped forward and said, "Lord Si, the Linglong Pavilion is half destroyed, and the account books are burned, but there is a backup in the prefect's yamen, so why don't you take a look." ā
Xiao Heng was left and right, Wu Gang was angry, but what Xiao Heng said was also reasonable, so he had to order the official to go to the prefect's yamen again to get the backup account books.
This time he had waited for a long time, and on the other side, Spearwood had already set off with everyone.
