Liang Fuchen didn't know that Zhao Junchen had been waiting for this play for a long time!

Liang Fuchen himself is a person with a strong personality, how can he endure the shame of being kidnapped and imprisoned by horse bandits?

And Xu Qingyan's deliberate flaws when he came forward to rescue Liang Fuchen, as well as Zhao Junchen's secret provocations and repeated teasing during this period of time, also completely consumed Liang Fuchen's patience and increased Liang Fuchen's impulse.

Liang Fuchen did not want this matter to be delayed until after Zhao Junchen returned to the capital, believing that the distance between Huamachiying and the center of the capital and the difficulty in obtaining evidence would leave Zhao Junchen a chance to defend and exonerate himself.

But in fact, Zhao Junchen also didn't want this matter to drag on until he returned to the capital, he just wanted to completely end this matter while he was still in Huamachi Camp, so that Liang Fuchen would be dumb and couldn't say anything! If Liang Fuchen waited until Zhao Junchen returned to the capital and then exposed the matter to the imperial court, Zhao Junchen would certainly have many ways to justify himself, but he would also get into a lot of shame and trouble.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen took advantage of Liang Fuchen's absence in Huamachi Camp to empty Liang Fuchen's influence and prestige on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu in one fell swoop, so Zhao Junchen was naturally worried that after he left Huamachi Camp and returned to the capital, Liang Fuchen would also try to weaken Zhao Junchen's influence and prestige on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, so that Zhao Junchen's painstaking management during this period of time would be in vain.

Liang Fuchen will definitely have such an idea, and he also has such means and ability!

Therefore, Zhao Junchen also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to deal another heavy blow to Liang Fuchen's reputation and popularity!

In this way, if Liang Fuchen wants to weaken Zhao Junchen's influence in Shaanxi and Gansu in the future, he will be twice as effective!

In fact, when Liang Fuchen began to blame Zhao Junchen, thinking that Zhao Junchen was the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the horse bandits, Zhao Junchen looked like he was holding back his anger on the surface, but deep down he was secretly relieved.

*

It's a fight in the ring, and it's also a one-man show.

At the beginning, Liang Fuchen had an advantage in the ring, and Zhao Junchen could only defend hard; He is also the protagonist of this one-man show, and Zhao Junchen is just an insignificant foil!

At least on the surface!

Liang Fuchen wanted to completely overwhelm Zhao Junchen with his momentum, and took advantage of Zhao Junchen's helplessness to make Zhao Junchen's crime conclusive in the shortest possible time, leaving Zhao Junchen no chance!

At the same time, Zhao Junchen waited and saw how much evidence Liang Fuchen had found and how many hole cards he had.

Zhao Junchen knows very well that Xu Qingyan is not a reliable and cautious person, when he bribed the horse bandits to kidnap Liang Fuchen, there will definitely be flaws, and with Liang Fuchen's ability, he will definitely find evidence.

But Zhao Junchen was not worried about this, because he had already arranged for Wang Ying to come forward to cover for Xu Qingyan.

In Shaanxi and Gansu, in addition to Xu Qingyan, Zhao Junchen's most trusted person is Wei Song, who is alias Wang Ying!

Wei Songnai is Wei Huai's younger brother, and the two brothers are still counting on Zhao Junchen to help them take revenge, and they will never betray.

With Wang Ying's achievements during this period of time, as well as the courage and tenacity he showed during his lurking in the Mongol coalition army, as long as he is willing to stand up and testify for Xu Qingyan with a firm attitude, he will definitely be able to win the trust of all officials.

The witness found by Liang Fuchen must have something to do with the horse bandits, and maybe he was still a person with bad deeds, and after the testimony of such a witness contradicted and conflicted with Wang Ying's testimony, the bias of the officials can be imagined.

Zhao Junchen has decided this, so he will sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and at the beginning, he also let Liang Fuchen play.

For a time, Liang Fuchen had the upper hand, and under the influence of Liang Fuchen, all officials believed that Zhao Junchen was the culprit behind the kidnapping of Liang Fuchen by the horse bandits.

But after Zhao Junchen saw that Liang Fuchen's hole cards were exhausted, there was no evidence that he expected, and the witness that Liang Fuchen found was indeed just a bad businessman who was responsible for selling stolen goods, and immediately began to fight back!

Zhao Junchen's methods are very smart, he didn't open his mouth to defend himself from beginning to end, he just kept throwing questions to Wang Ying and Xu Qingyan and letting everyone hear the answers!

In this way, between the questions and answers, he gradually erased all the doubts on his body, and guided the thinking of all officials, so that they thought they had found the truth of the matter.

During this period, Liang Fuchen did not have any chance to interrupt!

As a result, the situation in the ring reversed, the offense and defense were exchanged, and Zhao Junchen also became the protagonist of the second half of this one-man show!

In the end, when the position of all officials began to favor Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen also took the opportunity to come up with his second killer feature!

That is the witness who tortured Liang Fuchen!

Since it is Liang Fuchen's witness who has a relationship with the horse bandits, and has been secretly helping the horse bandits sell their stolen goods all these years, such a small businessman with a bad record and forgetting his righteousness will never be a hard-headed person!

In this era, torture to extract confessions and torture into confessions were commonplace for the government.

In the end, under the punishment of the people, this Wang Mao will definitely tell the "truth" of the matter!

And the truth of this matter is that Xu Qingyan put on makeup when he met with the leader of the horse bandits, and his image is not exactly the same as now!

Therefore, as long as Wang Mao confesses this, his confession will completely become perjury, and Zhao Junchen will be completely invincible!

*

"Someone! Yes, there is! Punishment awaits! Tell the torture head that there is no need to scruple and any torture instrument can be used! But within a stick of incense, I'm going to make him tell the truth! ”

After seeing that the positions of the officials had changed, Zhao Junchen immediately ordered in a cold voice, and he had no intention of asking Liang Fuchen's opinion at all.

At this time, Liang Fuchen's complexion changed again, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it, and said, "Lord Zhao, do you want to bend into a trick and forcibly change the testimony of the witness?" ”

This time, Zhao Junchen finally turned around and responded to Liang Fuchen.

I saw Zhao Junchen's expression cold, and he said slowly: "Elder Liang Ge, now there are two diametrically opposed confessions!" There will inevitably be a falsification of the testimony! In such a situation, torture and forcing the truth to be questioned are the most effective means! Considering the different identities of the two witnesses, it is natural to torture your witnesses first!

Liang Ge Lao rest assured! Really, always will be true! What is fake is always fake! If your witnesses are still convinced that they are not lying under severe torture, then I am willing to let you use any means to interrogate Wang Ying and confirm the authenticity of his testimony!

That's fair...... Or is it that Liang Ge is old and you have a weak heart? ”

Liang Fuchen still didn't give an inch, and said sharply: "If it is tortured, there is a possibility of torture and beating!" How can the testimony in this case be taken seriously? ”

Zhao Junchen was-for-tat, and asked coldly: "Could it be that his testimony can be taken seriously now?" ”

Seeing the confrontation between Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen, the attitude of most officials was biased towards Zhao Junchen, but they did not dare to intervene.

At this time, Zuo Lanshan relied on his identity as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, but he stood up again and said a "fair word": "Liang Ge Lao, he is not afraid of shadows!" If you are convinced that your witnesses are not lying, why should you worry about torture and confirmation? What's more, this cabinet believes that what Lord Zhao said is reasonable, and extorting confessions by torture is indeed the most effective method at present...... Elder Liang Ge, you have also heard His Majesty's decree, Lord Zhao must return to the capital as soon as possible, can you stay here and wait for you to investigate slowly! ”

Then, Wang Ying took another step forward, and said with a calm expression: "If Liang Ge Lao's witness is still convinced that he is not lying after being severely tortured, then he is willing to accept any means of interrogation!" ”

Seeing the successive statements of Zuo Lanshan and Wang Ying, all the officials in the main hall finally dared to express their attitudes, and they all supported Zhao Junchen's torture methods.

"Yes, if it's like this, you can only use torture to ask!"

"Lord Zhao is in a hurry to return to Beijing, this is also the fastest way to achieve results!"

"Even when the local government interrogates the case on weekdays, it finds that the two testimonies are contradictory, and it is only natural to torture and ask the truth!"

Things have developed to this point, and Liang Fuchen has no means to stop it, so he can only watch the further development of the situation with a blushing face!

Everything was as Zhao Junchen expected, Wang Mao was just a small businessman who forgot his righteousness, when Zhang Daozhen and Li Hong caught him, he hurriedly confessed all the news he knew!

Now, with Zhao Junchen's order, a team of executioners suddenly poured into the main hall of the Governor's Palace.

These executioners have all stayed in the military prison of Huamachi Camp for a long time, and they are studying the art of torture all day long, and they are the most proficient in this way.

Water-soaked military sticks, whips smeared with chili flour, sharp bamboo sticks, barbed stools, knives to scrape bones......

One after another torture instruments were carried in front of Wang Mao.

Wang Mao's face became paler and paler, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

In the end, the two executioners pressed Wang Mao to the ground, and the other executioner picked up the whip and was about to whip him hard.

However, before the leather whip in the hand of the torturer fell, Wang Mao couldn't help but shout, crying and saying, "I'll move!" I'm willing to confess! This Xu Ye is only five or six points similar to the person I saw at the beginning...... The man had a larger brown mole at the corner of his eyebrows, a more bloated body, and a different eyebrow...... The villain wasn't sure they were the same person...... Don't hit me! Don't hit me! ”

Seeing that Wang Mao changed his confession so easily, all the officials in the hall looked at each other a little, and some couldn't react, only feeling that they had heard it wrong.

Zhao Junchen sneered: "Because a witness with a bad record provided a testimony that does not stand up to scrutiny at all!" This cabinet is suspected of becoming the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the horse bandits and the old court!

Ha! Fortunately, Wang Baihu is willing to testify! Otherwise, for such a serious crime, I am afraid that this cabinet will suffer unjustly and die unjustly! Even the clansmen of this pavilion will be implicated!

Now, the truth is finally revealed! This pavilion has finally cleared its injustice...... Colleagues, are you still suspicious of this cabinet? ”

As he spoke, Zhao Junchen slowly turned his gaze and looked at the officials of the Huamachi camp one by one.

"Where is Zhao Ge Lao! Xia Guan has always believed in Lord Zhao's character and personality! ”

"Please also Lord Zhao Mingjian! But from the very beginning he doubted the testimony of this profiteer! was about to question him face to face, but he didn't expect that Lord Zhao had already exposed his lies with his own hands! ”

"Xia Guan has never doubted Lord Zhao! I have always believed that Lord Zhao, you must be innocent! ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen's inquiry and gaze, all the officials did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up one after another to express their attitude.

However, before that, it was the same people who looked at Zhao Junchen with suspicion, and many people were already secretly thinking about how they wanted to get rid of Zhao Junchen, and those officials who had sent heavy gifts to Zhao Junchen were even more remorseful, and only felt that their investment had been wasted!

Now that the situation has been reversed, these officials have not changed. Swear to say beautiful things!

But every word of these officials is equivalent to a slap in the face to Liang Fuchen.

Seeing this scene, Liang Fuchen's face became more and more pale, knowing that he was only afraid that he was going to lose this game.

But Liang Fuchen is a person with a strong personality and never admits defeat easily!

Even if he fell into a disadvantage for a while, Liang Fuchen firmly believed that he could recover the situation sooner or later!

In fact, looking back on Zhao Junchen's performance, it seems that he has been planning for a long time, which makes Liang Fuchen more and more convinced of his judgment, thinking that he was kidnapped by horse bandits and definitely has something to do with Zhao Junchen!

Moreover, Liang Fuchen thinks that he still has a chance to turn the tables!

All things, as long as they are fake, are afraid to be examined in detail!

You must know that all the disguises and cover-ups in this world, no matter how realistic and meticulous they are, will inevitably have flaws!

Zhao Junchen said that Xu Qingyan's disappearance some time ago was to go to Zhenning City to contact Wang Ying! Well, this matter can be pursued further!

Xu Qingyan rushed from Huamachi Camp to Zhenning Acropolis, and then from Zhenning Acropolis back to Huamachi Camp, can you come up with a detailed itinerary time?

Can you stay overnight at a post house or inn on the way? Can the people of the inn testify?

Wang Ying and Xu Qingyan met, did the border soldiers of Zhenning Acropolis see it with their own eyes?

These details, as long as you continue to track down, you must be able to find many flaws! As long as a flaw is found, it can prove that Xu Qingyan's trip to see Wang Ying at that time was fake! As long as it proves that this matter is fake, it proves that Zhao Junchen has a ghost in his heart, so he will arrange for Wang Ying to provide false testimony!

While thinking about it, Liang Fuchen's attitude became more and more firm, firmly believing that even if he lost for a while, he could not take advantage of today's opportunity to expose Zhao Junchen's true face.

And at this time, Zhao Junchen's eyes had already returned to Liang Fuchen, and asked, "Elder Liang Ge, what else do you have to say now?" Do you believe in the innocence of this cabinet? ”

Liang Fuchen's face was expressionless, and he said slowly: "There are still too many strange things about this matter, and it still needs to be strictly investigated!" What's more, under the torture and interrogation of Wang Mao, he still thinks that Xu Qingyan is fifty or sixty percent similar to the person he saw at the beginning, and he can do this by relying on makeup, and his confession cannot be determined to be fake!

All in all, Lord Zhao, after you leave the Huamachi Camp, this pavilion will continue to investigate this matter! Don't give up until you find out the truth! ”

"Good!" Zhao Junchen gritted his teeth and said: "Things have come to this point, Liang Ge Lao, you still don't want to believe in the innocence of this pavilion!" Even if it proves that the testimony you got is false, even if this cabinet comes up with conclusive evidence! But you just thought that this pavilion was assassinating you! Right?

Ha ha! How much effort and effort did it take to rescue you from the bandits? I didn't expect you to be grateful, but why did you splash dirty water on you? Is this just ordinary dirty water? These suspicions and accusations of yours are simply trying to kill this pavilion!

Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu! The Pavilion now finally understands the meaning of this sentence! When you were kidnapped by horse bandits, the Pavilion completely annihilated the Mongol coalition army and was out of the limelight, so you weren't happy, were you? You don't have your share of the great work, so you're not happy, aren't you? But the chance of victory on the battlefield is fleeting, so will this cabinet wait until you are rescued before fighting the Mongol coalition army? ”

Prior to this, Zhao Junchen's performance seemed to be taking care of the overall situation after suffering an unjustified injustice, so he forcibly endured his anger!

But at this time, after seeing Liang Fuchen's statement, Zhao Junchen seemed to finally hold back his anger, his voice became louder and louder, and his last words questioned Liang Fuchen's strength and position in public!

After hearing Zhao Junchen's question, Liang Fuchen's face suddenly changed.

However, before Liang Fuchen could say anything, Zhao Junchen had already said angrily: "What? Are these words upsetting you? But when you splashed dirty water on this pavilion, how could you ever think about the mood of this pavilion?

Aren't you looking it up? Good! Look it up! It's really true! What is fake is what is fake! The body of this pavilion is not afraid of the shadow slanting! I'm not afraid of you checking! But this pavilion has received the holy decree and is about to return to the capital immediately, but he is not willing to accompany you to continue to entangle these trumped-up charges! This pavilion will leave the Huamachi camp now, you can check it if you want! This pavilion doesn't care! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen threw up his sleeves and left.

However, although Zhao Junchen said that he didn't care, after suffering the "injustice for no reason", he was obviously extremely angry.

Therefore, before Zhao Junchen walked out of the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, he saw that his body suddenly crooked, and then he fainted in front of everyone!

In fact, Zhao Junchen had long expected Liang Fuchen's tenacious personality and would never give up easily.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen came up with his third killer feature!

Win sympathy! Cause outrage! and then used the public opinion of officialdom and the condemnation of hundreds of officials to force Liang Fuchen to give up this matter completely!

At this time, after seeing Zhao Junchen suddenly faint, everyone was shocked!

Xu Qingyan rushed to Zhao Junchen's side before everyone else, and shouted loudly: "Young master! What's wrong with you, young master! Get a doctor! Divine doctor Zhang Decheng is in the wounded barracks, please invite him here! Just go! ”
