But after all, he was unwilling to be killed, and still wanted to resist stubbornly. No matter what He Wencheng asked, he didn't answer anything, and planned to use the procrastination trick all the time.

He Wencheng was not angry, but asked the Jinyi guard to escort in a person.

When Chen Fu saw the unkempt person who was pressed in, his psychological defense line completely collapsed.

This person is none other than Cao Rui, the proprietor of the Shengguitang Gambling House.

He was tied up with five flowers, his hair was scattered, and his unkempt face was like a lost dog, which was really embarrassing.

Chen Fu closed his eyes unwillingly.

How so?

The moment he saw Cao Rui, he knew that everything was over.

Jin Yiwei must have found the gambling house and intercepted all the money he wanted to transfer.

Having said that, it is not difficult to do this with the means of Jinyiwei.

"Chen Fu, are you still unwilling to confess?"

He Wencheng sneered and said: "Stubborn resistance will not do you any good, if you are willing to confess, the court may be punished lightly." ”

He Wencheng began to attack his heart, but where would Chen Fu believe it.

If he is greedy for ordinary silver, it is fine, but he is greedy for silver taels for building river embankments.

He was greedy for most of the silver, and the construction of the river embankment and the selection of stone were naturally cutting corners. How could the court let him go?

If you recruit now, you will surely die. If you don't move, you can drag it out.

"County Zun, you can recruit it. They withheld all the money. It's useless if you don't recruit. ”

Cao Rui also began to persuade Chen Fu, but Chen Fu was in a posture of letting your tongue be like a lotus, and I would not move.

He Wencheng was not annoyed when he saw this, he walked to Chen Fu's side, put his ear close to him and said, "If you confess to the King of Liao, this official will protect you from death." ”

Chen Fu's body trembled, and his gloomy eyes flashed with brilliance.

He has been immersed in officialdom for many years, how can he not hear the meaning of He Wencheng's words?

It turned out that the person He Wencheng really wanted to do was the King of Liao, and he was only because he gave a part of the embezzled silver taels to the King of Liao.

If he "confesses" to He Wencheng now and makes King Liao's crimes public, he will definitely be punished lightly.

Chen Fu was moved.

In fact, he had no reason to refuse.

At the beginning, he took out a part of the embezzled silver taels and dedicated them to the king of Liao, for profit. Now he betrayed and dragged the King of Liao for profit.

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

The gentleman's self-denial is to fool people, how many people are really willing to do it?

Chen Fu's creed is that the friends of the dead will not die and the poor will not die.

Not to mention the fact that he confessed to bribing the King of Liao, even if he made up something that didn't exist, he wouldn't hesitate.

"Please tell the lower officials what to do."

Chen Fu fell to his knees with a thud, hugged He Wencheng's thigh and began to cry.

Crying and crying, tears wiped on He Wencheng's trouser legs, making He Yushi not embarrassed.

"Ahem, get up and talk."

He Wencheng couldn't stand Chen Fu's numbness, so he cleared his throat and gave orders.

"Hey, hey."

Chen Fu replied again and again.

He stood up tremblingly, leaning forward slightly, and made a deferential appearance.

He Wencheng waved his hand and said: "Actually, it's very simple, the mastermind of this matter is the King of Liao, and you just made a big mistake because of Wang Wei's last resort." Is this official right? ”

"Yes, that's it, that's it."

Chen Fu saw that He Wencheng intended to excuse him, and his heart was full of joy.

The king of Liao took the initiative to find Xia Guan and said that he wanted to take a part of the silver taels from the construction of the river embankment, so he asked Xia Guan to deduct some of them. The lower officials didn't dare to disobey the prince, and it was a big mistake to be confused for a while. ”

He Wencheng pointed out a direction for Chen Fu, and Chen Fu followed He Wencheng's meaning without hesitation.

The two have a tacit understanding, and they are worthy of being mixed officialdom.

He Wencheng bowed slightly, and ordered the scribe on the side: "Write down everything he just said." ”

Due to the tacit understanding between the two parties, the interrogation proceeded quickly.

After a while, Chen Fu told him how the King of Liao coerced him and how he used his hand to corrupt the silver for building the river embankment.

The scribe sent the memorized confession to Chen Fu, who pressed his handprint without hesitation.

"You're doing a great job."

He Wencheng's meaningful words made Chen Fu rekindle hope.

As long as he can save this life, he can do whatever he wants.

He Wencheng flicked his sleeves and walked away. A group of brocade guards followed closely behind him, and the stars held the moon like a moon.

With Chen Fu's confession, He Wencheng finally had a reason to attack.

He ordered the Jinyi guard to surround the Liao Wang's Mansion with a group of officials and inspection guards, and forced the Liao King to leave the palace for questioning.

Zhu Xian, the king of Liao, was furious when he heard that the palace was surrounded, and personally led a group of palace guards out of the gate.

After the Yongle Emperor's reduction of the domain, now the prince has no relatives and troops, so there is no need to use the army of the guard to surround the palace, only the soldiers of the government and the inspection department are enough.

But the King of Liao is a prince after all, and there are still hundreds of family guards.

The two sides confronted each other like this, and the atmosphere was very tense.

"His Royal Highness the King of Liao, this official was ordered by the emperor to inspect Huguang, and found out in Jingzhou that the county ordered Chen Fu to build a river embankment. After interrogation, Chen Fu confessed that everything was instructed by His Royal Highness the King of Liao. I don't know what His Royal Highness the King of Liao explains? ”

In the end, one side must break the deadlock first.

He Wencheng asked himself nine times out of ten, so he questioned vigorously.

"Slander, it's all slander!"

Zhu Xian, the king of Liao, trembled angrily: "He Wencheng, you actually surrounded the king's palace because of the words of a criminal minister, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”

Zhu Xian expected that Zhang Juzheng would attack him, but he didn't expect all this to come so quickly, he didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to dare to mobilize Jinyiwei so nakedly, without any scruples at all.

After all, he is the king of Liao and the representative of the Zhu Ming clan, how can he be so humiliated?

Today, the jade is burning, and he can't be caught.

"His Royal Highness the King of Liao is serious. If you only talk about identity, Xia Guan naturally cannot be compared with His Royal Highness the King of Liao. But the lower officials came here on the orders of the imperial court and on behalf of His Majesty. Isn't Your Majesty qualified to question His Royal Highness the King of Liao? ”

"You!"

Although He Wencheng said it lightly, he hid a knife in his smile, and Zhu Xianyi trembled with anger, but he couldn't refute it.

But Zhu Xianyi thought about it, and it seemed that He Wencheng also had loopholes.

The patrol of the imperial history does represent the imperial court, but what about Jinyiwei?

Could it be that from the very beginning, they were convinced of their guilt and sent Jinyi Wei to collect evidence of the crime?

"You said that you were inspecting Huguang on behalf of the imperial court, okay. So how do these brocade guards explain! ”

"Jin Yiwei?"

He Wencheng was surprised.

"His Royal Highness the King of Liao said that they are?"

"Knowingly ask!"

Zhu Xianjiao said indignantly.

"It's a coincidence, they're here to work on another case. It's just that the lower officials happened to find His Highness here, so they asked them to come over and help. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Zhu Xianyi felt that he was tricked by He Wencheng.

"Are you playing this king?"
