Chapter 499: Geng Xiaofan Lingtang Decided the Case
Then there was an accident in the interrogation of Wu Zhang and Lu Kuan, Wu Zhang insisted at first that he had no knowledge of the poisoning, and the next day, he took the initiative to admit that he was the instigator of Wang Yu to modify the hexagram and poison him.
Geng Xiaofan understands that there is a cat here. It must be that the Lu family secretly colluded with Wu Zhang and reached some kind of "agreement", which is to let Wu Zhang take the blame for Lu Kuan!
However, Geng Xiaofan didn't want to dwell too much on this detail. He cares about the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as the two of them can confess Wei Bao, their lives and crimes do not matter.
However, the confessions of these two people alone are not enough to "take" Weibao, and he cannot rashly use this as an excuse to "arraign" Guan Neihou.
He had a bit of a headache about how the case progressed downward. After discussing with Wang Jingyan, the two were ready to take a risk and arrange a big drama for Weibao! Only by expanding the influence can it be possible to bring down this emerging Guan Neihou.
Wang Yu's funeral period expired, and when it was the day of the funeral, most of the Chinese military officials came to the funeral.
Geng Xiaofan presided over the funeral, and when the mourning ended, he suddenly challenged Wei Bao.
Looking at Geng Xiaofan's "confession" that fell in front of him, although Wei Bao was shocked for a moment, he quickly regained his composure and confidently denied it.
"These are all the words of the Wang family! Geng Qing splashed dirty water on Benhou with this, what was his intention? ”
"The words of the Wang family! Wu Zhang is a guest of the Wang family, Lu Kuan is a relative of the Wang family, and there is no outsider to instruct them, why would they do such an exterminating thing? Geng Xiaofan retorted with a cold face.
"How do I know! It's always the Wang family's lax governance that causes internal troubles! Wei Bao also sneered, and glanced at Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan again.
"For your own selfish desires, you treat Yu'er as a chess piece and play with it in the palm of your hand, and discard it when you run out, Wei Hou, don't you have a trace of uneasy conscience?" Wang Jingyan glanced at Wei Bao coldly.
"Haha! What kind of conscience does Ben Hou have uneasy, Ben Hou and Wang Yu do have friends, but he is a general in the court, can Ben Hou still restrain him? ”
"Didn't you instigate Yu'er to tamper with the hexagram, the matter failed, and then instructed Lu Kuan to poison and kill people?" Wang Jingyan asked sharply.
"Madame Wang! In front of Dali Siqing! You can't just spew blood! Wei Bao disdainfully glanced at Geng Xiaofan again.
"Wei Hou, don't think that based on the testimony of these two people, this official can't convict you. To tell you the truth, there are more than these two witnesses. Today is a big day for Wang Yu to enter the earth. If you can come in person, it means that your conscience is still clear, and if you can take the initiative to confess your sins in front of Wang Yu's spiritual position. The officer may have the discretion to issue the issue. ”
Geng Xiaofan's face was gloomy, and his tone was calm.
"Humph! You don't want to intimidate Benhou! Wei Bao shook his sleeves angrily, and couldn't help but look out the door. Today is the day of Wang Yu's funeral, he has no reason not to come, just in case, he made careful preparations, not only brought several personal guards, but also arranged a team of guards to guard outside the palace.
Seeing Wei Bao's resolute attitude, Geng Xiaofan didn't say anything more, beckoned to the door, and a woman with a heavy filial piety walked in.
"Wan'er!" Wei Bao recognized the person at a glance and was shocked.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wei Wan walked quickly to Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan, knelt down and saluted, and couldn't help crying, "Father, mother, Wan'er is not filial, and it is long overdue. ”
"Wan'er, where the hell have you been? What the hell is going on? Wang Jingyan was really surprised to see Wei Wan appear at this critical moment, and quickly helped her up.
Yesterday, when Geng Xiaofan discussed with her, he only said that he had made enough preparations and would be able to defeat Wei Bao in one fell swoop. She guessed for a long time, but she still couldn't believe that Geng Xiaofan's "killer feature" turned out to be Wei Wan.
Wei Wan got up, but didn't explain to Wang Jingyan, but walked directly to Wei Bao, "Uncle! I can't blame you for what you did for the Wei family. But I can't let my husband die in vain. ”
"Wan'er! What nonsense are you talking about, how did you come back! Wei Bao was really surprised to see Wei Wan appear.
"When you sent me to the Wang family, I resented you for a long time. But I didn't expect that after I got married, my husband's grace and in-laws' love made me feel happiness that I had never felt before! Since I married into the Wang family, I was born into the Wang family, and I will be a ghost of the Wang family when I die. You asked me to persuade my husband, I know that you are for the good of the family. I did as you said, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and poison your husband! ”
Wei Wan cried in a trembling voice, and everyone in the lobby fell silent.
"Wan'er, why don't you leave?" Wang Jingyan wanted to know Wei Wan's experience during this period of time.
"When I heard that my husband was poisoned by wine, I knew that my uncle had done it! I have tasted the jug of wine myself, so the only person who has touched the jug can only be poisoned. There is only one of the most suspicious of this, and that is Lu Kuan!
I went to look for Lu Kuan, but I accidentally found that he secretly pretended to be a small official and went out of the house! So, I hurried to follow. As I expected, he really led me to my uncle's house! ”
Wei Wan told the situation of the day in one breath, and said it a little quickly, panting.
Wang Jingyan personally brought a glass of water for her to drink, and then listened to her continue.
"Outside my uncle's study, I overheard his conversation with Lu Kuan. It is precisely because of this that my uncle forcibly sent me back to Zhongshan Country regardless of whether I was looking for life or death! ”
"Wan'er, don't be a fool! How can I have a relationship with Lu Kuan? If it weren't for the fear that they would have wronged you for poisoning, how would I send you back to Zhongshan Kingdom. Why don't you know what to do, reverse black and white! Wei Bao was not calm anymore and rushed to Wei Wan.
"It has nothing to do with Lu Kuan? It doesn't matter, will you allow him to be a high-ranking official? Wei Wan was not afraid of her uncle at all, and she was rightly arrogant.
"Uncle, you are so disappointing! Not only did I disappoint, but I also disappointed my aunt! This time I went back to Zhongshan Kingdom, and my aunt told me everything. She just misses her son, just to be able to visit the palace from time to time. And you! even used this as an excuse to meddle in government affairs!
If you want to join the office, why not, you just have to be your official, why do you want to be the enemy of my Wang family? I want to deceive my husband, use him, and kill him! ”
Wei Wan said, and couldn't help crying bitterly.
Wang Jingyan roughly understood, but she hadn't figured out the relationship between Lu Kuan and Wei Bao.
"The Lu family was originally a slave of the Wei family, but when he went to Lu Kuan's father's generation, because of his meritorious service in protecting the head of the family, he was relieved to leave his nationality and return to Nanyang." Geng Xiaofan explained for Wei Wan.
"What an old minion, little minion!" Wang Jingyan finally understood Lu Kuan's "motive" for committing the crime.
"These Lu Kuan have confessed. Wei Hou is his old master, and he can't help but obey orders. Moreover, he came to Chang'an this time to enter the body. Presumably he had already mentioned it to An Hangong, but unfortunately An Hangong did not agree. And he turned to his old master. Wei Hou has a lot of appetite, and he is also very generous, he has already promised him, and after the matter is completed, he will take over Wang Yu! ”
Geng Xiaofan added.
