Chapter 70: Li Ruzhen pleaded guilty
This scene shocked everyone, whether it was Wei Zhongxian who was sitting on it, or Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian, Yao Zongwen's actions were shocking.
Seeing that Yao Zongwen was really about to collide, Wei Zhongxian was directly startled. If Yao Zongwen really crashed to death, then I'm afraid it will really be over.
The key is not Yao Zongwen's life or death, but his own errand. The errand is smashed, what does Your Majesty think of himself?
"Hold him, hurry up and hold him!" Wei Zhongxian abruptly stood up from his chair and screamed in shock.
Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian also stood up, but they didn't speak, and even in the hearts of Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian, they were very happy.
Sure enough, Yao Zongwen is an iron-clad man and a model for scholars. As long as he is killed, then Wei Zhongxian is really finished! Well, well banged! Directly hit to death, hit to death, we will make a name for you!
The officials were also taken aback, they didn't have so many ideas, and hurriedly rushed up to pull Yao Zongwen.
At this time, Yao Zongwen, who rushed to the front of the pillar, stumbled suddenly and fell directly to the ground. Now, instead of hitting his head on the pillar, his shoulder hit the pillar.
The officials in the back hurriedly came up and held Yao Zongwen down.
Yao Zongwen also scolded loudly with his neck stalked: "Wei Zhongxian, gelding!" If you kill Zhongliang, you will not die well! ”
Wei Zhongxian looked at this scene with a pale face, of course he knew that he had been fooled.
This Yao Zongwen is deliberate!
What hit to death, if he dared to die, he would have died in the prison of Dongchang a long time ago, why wait until now!
Now he is playing a bitter trick, that is, he is inviting fame, and he is setting up an image for himself that is not afraid of death.
Wei Zhongxian saw this, he turned his head to look at Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian, and all he saw was the serious faces of the two people with a little anger.
Wei Zhongxian turned his head, he knew that it was useless to count on these two people, these two people wanted his old Wei to die immediately. Even if they know the truth, they pretend not to know.
I need to find a way, if things continue like this, I won't be able to explain to the emperor. Yao Zongwen used a bitter trick, and several other people may do the same.
If that's the case, you're in trouble.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Yao Zongwen, who was still struggling, and couldn't help but feel ruthless in his heart, he should have killed him, but it didn't matter, he still had others.
Zou Yuanbiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and a smile appeared on his face. Things really happened as he thought, Wei Zhongxian was bad this time.
"Someone." Wei Zhongxian shouted, the expression on his face was unusually steady: "Suppress Yao Zongwen and take care of it." Take the prisoner Li Ruzhen. ”
Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was going to take Li Ruzhen, Zou Yuanbiao smiled again.
He didn't believe that Li Ruzhen would not retract his confession. You must know that this is a capital crime, colluding with the ministers of the DPRK and China, framing the ministers of the border and guarding the frontier, plus the previous crime, if he admits it, then it must be a capital crime. Only by retracting the confession of this crime can Li Ruzhen live.
Zou Yuanbiao couldn't think of a reason why Li Ruzhen would admit his guilt, and for the sake of his own life, he would definitely retract his confession.
It didn't take long for Li Ruzhen to be brought up.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Li Ruzhen with a gloomy face, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn. Yao Zongwen has already retracted his confession, and if Li Ruzhen retracts his confession, then he will be really in trouble.
"Li Ruzhen, our family asks you, colluding with Liu Guojin and bribing Yao Zongwen and others with silver, so that they can frame Xiong Tingbi, is there such a thing?" After Wei Zhongxian said this, he stared at Li Ruzhen tightly.
If Li Ruzhen wants to say no, this is the critical time.
Zou Yuanbiao smiled and stroked his beard gently, the expression on his face was indifferent. In his opinion, Wei Zhongxian is self-inflicted and cannot live.
Li Ruzhen raised his head and glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and said respectfully: "This is indeed the case. ”
As soon as these words came out, the lobby instantly lost its voice.
Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian looked at Li Ruzhen in disbelief.
Is this person crazy? He also dared to admit this sin?
If you confess your sin, then things will be in trouble. Thinking of this, Zou Yuanbiao couldn't help but stand up, he looked up at Wei Zhongxian, and kept asking himself loudly in his heart: "How did he do it?" ”
Wei Zhongxian listened to Li Ruzhen's words and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he still didn't think wrong, Li Ruzhen didn't retract his confession.
"When and where did Liu Guojin be bought? Is there any evidence? Wei Zhongxian looked at Li Ruzhen, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted loudly.
"Back to Father-in-law Wei, Liu Guojin has always had a good relationship with me, and the silver I gave him before and after these young people was nearly 100,000 taels, not counting all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the mansions and mountains and forests of Liaodong."
Li Ruzhen said directly: "The evidence is very simple, I have an account book, which is a booklet that I gave gifts to the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there is Liu Guojin in it. ”
"In addition, I also have correspondence with Liu Guojin, which can prove my relationship with Liu Guojin. In addition, it was my subordinate Liao Zhong who sent gifts to Liu Guojin's house, and sometimes it was Liu Guojin's old servant Liu Chang who received gifts. Li Ruzhen told everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and the expression on his face was indifferent.
Although these words were simple, the people in the lobby were in a cold sweat when they heard it.
This time it's over, and it's really going to set off a big case.
Once Wei Zhongxian confirms Liu Guojin's case, then those people in Li Ruzhen's account book basically have no way to escape.
Wei Zhongxian sat on the chair, and after glancing at Zou Yuanbiao, the expression on his face calmed down, and he lost the panic just now.
Obviously, Li Ruzhen's betrayal completely became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Zou Yuanbiao really panicked this time, he was not a fool, and at this time, he could naturally see that Li Ruzhen was colluding with Wei Zhongxian.
The two of them have hooked up and committed adultery a long time ago, and Li Ruzhen's previous retraction confession was also false, but this time the retraction was true.
Wei Zhongxian has been burying the pit from beginning to end, he is cheating people!
Thinking of this, Zou Yuanbiao suddenly became anxious. He wants to stop this interrogation, if the interrogation continues, then I'm afraid I won't be able to end it today!
At this time, Yang Lian suddenly took a step forward, pointed at Li Ruzhen, and scolded loudly in a hurry: "Li Ruzhen, you dare to retract your confession?" ”
At this time, it was Yang Lian who was most feared, and Yang Lian was the most resentful.
You must know that Yang Lian was the previous chief judge, and when he interrogated, Li Ruzhen didn't say that.
Now, Li Ruzhen not only pleaded guilty, but also took out this large pile of ironclad evidence and real witnesses.
What is it? This is a direct slap in his face Yang Lian!
If it comes true, then how can I explain it to His Majesty? How do you explain the question book you gave to Your Majesty?
Li Ruzhen glanced at Yang Lian and said expressionlessly: "Lord Yang, didn't you ask me to retract what you said?" ”
