Chapter 840: Confession and leniency

The affairs of the Liang family, Tang Ning was not very convenient to meddle, so he handed over all the powers to Liu Zheng to deal with.

A quarter of an hour ago, the four gates of Wanzhou Prefecture City had been closed, and the Liang family was also surrounded by the five hundred soldiers guarding the city at the first time.

Two years ago, the Liang family had contact with the people in the Wan Gu Sect, which was not a big deal, after all, Chen Guo and Liang Guo had never had any friction, but since the remnants of Liang Guo rebelled in Jiangnan, they had become the enemies of Chen State, and harboring them was to challenge the bottom line of the imperial court and Emperor Chen.

Wanzhou Thorn Shi, who hurried back, looked at Liu Zheng and said angrily: "Lord Liu, what are you doing!" ”

Liu Zheng looked at the history of the Wanzhou Thorn, shook his head, and said: "Liang Thorn History, this official did not expect that your Liang family would actually collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, harboring the rest of the party of the Liang State......"

Wanzhou Thorn Shi chuckled in his heart, and forced himself to calm down: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, Lord Liu has evidence?" ”

Liu Zheng glanced at him, waved his hand, and said, "Search!" ”

More than 100 soldiers poured into the Liang family, and the Liang family, which no one dared to provoke in Wanzhou, could only honestly watch others search the Liang family.

The head of the Liang family is the brother of Wanzhou Thorn Shi, after Wanzhou Thorn Shi walked into the Liang family, the two looked at each other, and the head of the Liang family nodded slightly to him, and the latter relaxed his heart slightly.

After a while, after everyone searched the Liang family, a young general stepped forward and said, "Go back to your lordship, no suspicious characters have been found." ”

Liu Zheng looked at Wanzhou Thorn History and said: "Liang Thorn History, this official advises you to be honest and confess leniently, maybe the court can still be lenient, if you refuse to cooperate, there may be very serious consequences." ”

Wanzhou Thorn Shi looked directly at him and said: "If the Liang family didn't do it, it didn't do it, even if you Lord Liu, you can't frame the Liang family on this trumped-up charge, you are the Jiangnan West Road sentence, but you led the soldiers to break into the people's house, this official must play, let the court punish you for a crime of trespassing!" ”

Liu Zheng glanced at them and said to the young general, "Look at them." ”

Watching Liu Zheng leave, everyone in the Liang family came to a certain hall, Wanzhou Thorn Shi looked at the head of the Liang family, and said with a calm face: "What the hell is going on?" ”

The head of the Liang family said: "Mr. Wu's housekeeper went out once today, maybe he exposed his traces. ”

That Mr. Wu seemed to be very afraid that others would find them, which everyone in the Liang family knew very well, but Wanzhou Assassin Shi never thought that they would actually lead Liu Zheng to Shannan West Road here.

He lowered his voice and said, "What about them? ”

The head of the Liang family said: "The housekeeper came back in a hurry just now, and he should have fled with Mr. Wu." ”

"Let's hope they don't get caught." Wanzhou Thorn Shi said with a solemn face: "As long as there is no evidence, Liu Zheng can't help us......

Liang Tao, whose face was pale, stood aside and asked, "What if he doesn't tell the evidence?" ”

"Don't tell the evidence?" Wanzhou Thorn Shi snorted coldly and said, "He thinks he is the right minister Tang Ning, can he be unreasonable?" ”

Liang Tao glanced at him, his lips moved, and finally he just lowered his head silently.

……

In the inn, Liu Zheng looked at Tang Ning and said, "Tang Xiang, we didn't find Liang Guoyu in the Liang family. ”

There was no gain in the Liang family, and it was not what Tang Ning expected.

It is not easy for people like Gongsun Ying and Bai Jin to catch them, and none of the ten elders will be weaker than them.

However, the monks can't run away from the temple, the gate of Wanzhou is closed, and as long as they are still in the city, they can't escape.

He looked at Liu Zheng and asked, "Have you found Zhao Tian's family?" ”

Liu Zheng shook his head and said, "No." ”

Tang Ning looked at Zhao Yun'er behind him and said, "Why don't you go home first, the Liang family may have let her go back." ”

Zhao Yun'er nodded and whispered, "Then I'll go back first." ”

After Zhao Yun'er left, Liu Zheng looked at Tang Ning and said again: "We have no evidence, the Liang family refuses to admit that he harbored the rest of the Liang Guoyu, what is his assassination, if it continues like this, I am afraid it will cause a commotion in Wanzhou." ”

Tang Ning walked out of the inn and said, "Go to the Liang family and have a look." ”

He has countless ways to make people tell the truth, and the high-level Ten Thousand Gu Sect behind the Liang family plays a vital role in his final mission to Beijing this time, and Tang Ning naturally can't let him go.

The people of the Liang family were confined in the Liang family, restricting their freedom, but they all knew that this was only temporary, and even Liu Zheng, the criminal officer of Shannan West Dao, could not keep them in captivity.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Liu Zheng went and returned.

There was an extra young man beside him, and the eyes of the head of the Liang family and the Wanzhou Thorn Shi swept over the young man's body, and Liang Tao stared at him deadly, with fear on his face.

Liu Zheng looked at Wanzhou Thorn History and asked, "Lord Liang, I don't know if you have thought about it?" ”

Wanzhou Thorn Shi looked at him and said, "No matter what you say, the Liang family will not carry this black cauldron." ”

"I ......, I confess."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Wanzhou Thorn Shi and the head of the Liang family turned their heads suddenly, looking at Liang Tao in disbelief, Liang Yu grabbed his shoulders and said angrily: "You are crazy! ”

Liang Tao broke free of his hand, took a few steps forward, and said: "The Liang family has taken in two people, but we don't know that they are Liang Guoyu's party, and please let the adults ...... lightly."

"Shut up!"

"Rebel!"

The two members of the Liang family looked at Liang Tao, their faces full of anger, and their eyes were about to split.

Liang Tao glanced back at them and said, "We don't know what their identities are or what their names are, we just call one of them "Mr. Wu", and the other is his housekeeper, over the years, they have helped the Liang family a lot, so the Liang family has always let them live here ......, but we really don't know what they have to do with Liang Guo......

Liu Zheng looked at Liang Tao and asked, "Where did they go now?" ”

Liang Tao said: "They ran away." ”

Liu Zheng continued: "What did he do for your Liang family? ”

Liang Tao said: "Many years ago, he helped us get rid of the political enemies in Wanzhou, and my father was able to sit in the position of assassin smoothly......"

Seeing that Liang Tao shook out all the things of the Liang family, the head of the Liang family and the Wanzhou Thorn Shi were completely desperate, their faces were dejected, and they even bent their backs.

The second young man of the Liang family was honest, and told the truth like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

The real situation of the Liang family was somewhat unexpected by Tang Ning.

He originally thought that the Liang family had colluded with the high-level leaders of the Wan Gu Sect, and just like Jiang Nan at the beginning, they indirectly controlled Wanzhou by controlling local officials, so that when the time was ripe, they would cause chaos in the Liang State.

But in fact, the Liang family, from the master to the slave, showed no signs of being controlled by Gu worms.

This shows that the people behind them did not control the Liang family, nor did they do anything beneficial to them through the Liang family.

On the contrary, after helping the Liang family become the largest clan in Wanzhou, they also ordered the Liang family to keep a low profile, not to be high-profile, to attract the attention of others, and not to disclose their whereabouts.

Tang Ning asked County Lieutenant Ruan to investigate the Liang family's actions over the years, and the facts were roughly the same as what Liang Tao said.

Over the years, although the Liang family is the first wealthy family in Wanzhou, they are extremely low-key, and the government and the people are afraid of the Liang family, but the Liang family does not seem to have done anything too much except to open a casino and earn some gamblers' silver, and its reputation in Wanzhou is okay.

Even the secret spy investigation case is about evidence, the Liang family harbored the rest of the Liang Guodang, and the position of Wanzhou Assassin Shi must not be saved, but the Liang family did not cause any harm to the imperial court, and they could not be charged with treason against the enemy.

As for what will happen to them, they still have to wait for the verdict of the imperial court, but according to Tang Ning's estimate, it is nothing more than confiscating family property, confiscating the army and exiling them......

Wanzhou Thorn Shi was stripped of his official uniform, glanced at Liang Tao with dejected eyes, and said, "Rebel, so you are satisfied?" ”

Liang Tao said: "If I don't do this, the Liang family will only be doomed." ”

A nameless fire broke out in Wanzhou Thorn Shi's heart, grabbed his collar, and said angrily: "Rebel, what did you say? ”

Liang Tao whispered: "He is Tang Ning." ”

The angry expression on Wanzhou Thorn Shi's face froze, looked at him blankly, and asked, "Right ......, right phase?" ”

Liang Tao nodded.

Wanzhou Thorn Shi let go of his collar, pursed his lips, looked at him again, and finally didn't say anything more.

Although Tang Ning is not in Wanzhou, Wanzhou has always had his legend.

He is the youngest prime minister since Chen Guoguo, and he is also the most ruthless minister.

The Tang family, who once dominated the court, Feng Xiang, who covered the sky with one hand, the Jiangnan party who controlled the government, the lawless powerful and wealthy families, and even King Kang who competed for the position of the prince......

These people are planted in his hands one by one, and wherever he goes, he will bring a disaster to him, and those who stand on the opposite side of him will be robbed of their homes at least and exterminated at worst......

If he wants to put the hat of treason on the head of the Liang family, he doesn't need to make any sense at all, because he is the reason......

Just as Wanzhou Thorn Shi was turning over the river and the sea in his heart, Tang Ning walked in from outside the door, looked at Liang Tao, and asked, "Zhao Tian was captured by you and returned to the Liang family, what about her?" ”

Liang Tao lowered his head and said, "I let her go yesterday, and as for where she went, I don't know ......"
