Chapter 236: Questioning
(For the first protector of this book, "Don't Lose|Don't Forget", thank you for the big guy's reward and support!!) )
Fang Wenkang's brother-in-law, Wang Yuan, was soon caught, and was immediately thrown into the prison of the Hundred Households.
When Fang Wenkang was in power, everyone in the hundred households sold him a little face, but no one expected that this person would be thrown into prison.
Then there was a harsh interrogation, and at first Wang Yuan could still persevere, but after it was the turn of the third punishment, this guy couldn't help but confess.
Although Wang Yuan is a scholar, not everyone has that kind of iron backbone, at least not Wang Yuan.
Originally, Chen Xiaoting wanted to intervene at this time, but Xiong Gui was determined to be executed, and Huang Zhien could only allow it.
Because in the tradition of Jinyiwei, those who do not intend to confess only need to be executed.
In the end, Wang Yuan directly confessed, saying that he had asked for Fang Wenkang, so he asked him to help replace the answer sheet.
Chen Xiaoting couldn't stop this process, because this was Jinyiwei's normal law enforcement procedure.
Holding Wang Yuan's confession, Huang Zhien said: "It seems that it is necessary to talk to Lord Fang!" ”
Hearing this, Xiong Gui was overjoyed, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so he said: "My lord is right, it's time to invite Fang Wenkang over for questioning!" ”
Huang Zhien glanced at Xiong Gui and said, "Please come here?" ”
Xiong Gui couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked, "Isn't it?" ”
Huang Zhien sneered: "Please come here to torture? Or is it offered? ”
In the end, Huang Zhien is the team leader, and when things have developed to this point, he must be more cautious.
Even if Fang Wenkang had to be interrogated, he couldn't be in this prison, and then his nature would change.
"Let's go and pay a visit to the house!" Huang Zhien said in a deep voice.
Fang Wenkang's mansion, just behind the hundred households, was being guarded by Xiong Gui's men at this time.
After entering the gate of Fang Wenkang's mansion, the servants and maids looked a little scared when they saw Chen Xiaoting and others coming in.
When Huang Zhien and his entourage came to the main hall, Fang Wenkang, who was dressed in a blue robe, was already waiting here, and he looked like an ordinary rich man at this time.
"Master Fang, Wang Yuan has already confessed, saying that he found you to help him replace the test papers!" Huang Zhien took out a confession and said.
But Fang Wenkang didn't even have the heart to look at it, he just listened to him: "It's pure nonsense, this official will never do such an illegal thing!" ”
So Xiong Gui said: "Lord Fang doesn't admit it?"
I only heard Fang Wenkang sneer: "What admitted? The official did nothing, what did he admit? ”
"A confession that can be written at will, and you want to condemn me?" Fang Wenkang said this to Xiong Gui.
Fang Wenkang scolded angrily: "Fools talk about dreams! ”
When he was relieved of his post yesterday, Fang Wenkang held his breath in his heart, and finally vented it at this time.
was reprimanded by Fang Wenkang, Xiong Cheng also felt that he couldn't hold his face at this time, but he wanted to fight each other but didn't have the guts.
Huang Zhien then spoke: "Don't be angry, Lord Fang, we didn't say that you must be guilty, aren't we here to ask you about the situation!" ”
At this time, it was difficult for Fang Wenkang to have a good face, and he sat on the chair at the top of the room, while Huang Zhien and Chen Xiaoting could only sit on the left and right.
Huang Zhien asked: "Master Fang, what were you doing on the day of the tenth scientific examination?" ”
Fang Wenkang said with a gloomy face: "When the Japanese official sent Cai Hong, the general flag, to Fuxue to be responsible for the supervision of the scientific examination, all the answer sheets that day were also brought back by Cai Hong in a box!" ”
"The official didn't show up in person, he went to drink with a few big merchants in the city in the afternoon, and he drank very late that day and returned to the hundred households!"
I only heard Huang Zhien then ask, "Were you drunk that night?" ”
Fang Wenkang replied: "I drank a lot at that time, and I was drunk!" ”
Huang Zhien asked again: "Why did you go to drink on the day of the scientific expedition?" ”
Fang Wenkang was stunned for a moment before he said: "On the surface that day, I went to drink, but in fact, I was discussing the collection of money!" ”
This reason is very sufficient, so Huang Zhien changed the next question and said: "According to the captain on duty in the case library, you were the only one who entered the case library that night, there is such a thing!" ”
At this time, there is no point in telling lies, because there are already two witnesses in this matter, and Fang Wenkang can't rely on it.
So he simply admitted: "I went there that night, but I didn't replace the answer sheet!" ”
"And what are you going to do in there?"
Fang Wenkang couldn't think of an explanation for this question for a while, because he also forgot why he wanted to enter the case library.
"Lord Fang'......"
After being reminded, Fang Wenkang said: "I was drunk that night and forgot why I went in!" ”
At this time, Xiong Gui said: "Master Fang, do you do things by yourself, don't you know why?" ”
Seeing Xiong Guifang Wenkang, he was angry, but before he could open his mouth to scold, he heard Chen Xiaoting say: "Xiong Gui, the two adults are talking, do you have the right to intervene?" ”
"What did I say about your?" Xiong Gui said angrily.
Chen Xiaoting came to stir up the situation, and when he stood up and said: "Lao Tzu just doesn't like you, what?" ”
Although Xiong Gui was more than ten years older, he was less than 1.7 meters tall, and Chen Xiaoting, a tall man, stood up all of a sudden, giving him a feeling of being shrouded in shadows.
Xiong Gui didn't speak, and Huang Zhien said to Chen Xiaoting with a dark face: "Sit down...... What a system! ”
can suppress Xiong Gui, Chen Xiaoting is still quite happy in his heart.
Now that Xiong Gui's questioning has been stopped, it is time to accept it when he sees it, so Chen Xiaoting sat back in his place.
At this time, Huang Zhien continued to ask: "That night, the adult entered the case library alone?" ”
Originally, Chen Xiaoting thought that Fang Wenkang would say yes, but Fang Wenkang said: "I was drunk at the time, I can't remember if there was anyone else!" ”
This is to leave a way back for himself, and if he really can't help it, he can also say that someone may have followed him at that time.
But Huang Zhien immediately said: "But the captain on duty in the case said that you were the only one who went in at that time, and no one went in before and after!" ”
"It's very likely that there are ghosts in the 100 households!" Fang Wenkang said in a deep voice, it was impossible to get him to confess.
Huang Zhien said again: "Presumably Lord Fang also knows that Deng Deng, who handled the case in the 100 households that night, also said that you were alone when you came out!" ”
What this means is that only Fang Wenkang entered the case library that night, so the answer sheet can only be changed by him.
But Fang Wenkang still said: "Deng Tong has a dislike for me, and his words are not credible!" ”
At this point, Fang Wenkang's tone did not relax in the slightest, but Huang Zhien did not find it difficult at all.
What he needs to do now is for the system to sort out the matter and then report the results of the investigation to the Thousand Households.
Because the determination of whether Fang Wenkang is guilty or not is not in his hands at all, Huang Zhien, everything is in the hands of the three of Qianhu.
Huang Zhien couldn't help but stand up and said to Fang Wenkang: "Lord Fang, let's talk about it today, and say goodbye!" ”
Fang Wenkang said: "Mr. Huang, there are some things you have to see clearly, you have to get on the big boat to go further!" ”
This is to remind Huang Zhien to stand in line carefully, and blind neutrality will only offend both sides.
Huang Zhien nodded, and then left with Xiong Gui and Chen Xiaoting, without saying a word between him and Fang Wenkang.
"Next, we will find Deng Tong, the general banner, Cai Hong, who was in charge of escorting that day, and Pan Qingxiang, the captain on duty in the case library, for questioning!"
"In the end, if you get the testimony, you can send it directly to Lu Yang, and then you will have your own judgment!" Huang Zhien threw out his thoughts and said.
But if it is really done according to his idea, then Fang Wenkang will be convicted of the crime, because the existing testimony points to him as the person who replaced the answer sheet.
