Tu Dashan has already decided to mess around, anyway, his official position has not been dismissed, even if Yang Cong has great power, he can't torture him, he can only interrogate.

It's just an ordinary interrogation, he's afraid of a fart!

Of course, Yang Cong knew that this guy would not be able to admit his guilt happily, and he still asked seriously: "Are you just poor in supervision?" Xie Shixian confessed, you used your power to order the coastal guards to resist passively, and even ordered them to cooperate with the pirates and pirates to plunder, which is the fundamental reason why pirates and pirates are rampant in Suyang and the Second Mansion. ”

You fart!

When Tu Dashan heard this, his eyes were about to bulge out, as if he had suffered a great grievance.

How could he give such an order, isn't this a truth, even if some coastal guards are indeed cooperating with pirates and pirates to raid, it is not an order he gave it, whether people already know each other well or not, what does it have to do with him!

He couldn't help but argue loudly: "My lord, if you catch a thief, you have to catch a thief, and if you catch a traitor, you have no evidence, just rely on the confession of Xie Shixian, an unemployed vagrant, to charge Xia Guan An, and the lower official can only play the court, please ask Lord Yan, the head of the cabinet, and ask the emperor to call the shots." ”

Oops, hey, I've brought out Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Who to scare?

Yang Cong said disdainfully: "Who said that the official has no evidence, if there is no evidence, can the official arrest you?" ”

If you have evidence, just take it out, you always talk about Xie Shixian's confession, Xie Shixian is a fart, he is not even a showman, just with the confession of such an unemployed vagrant, you want to cure me for the crime of being a member of the court, you are afraid that you will think too much.

Tu Dashan thought that he was quite cautious, and it was impossible for him to leave any leverage for people to catch in the matter of pirates and pirates.

He stiffened his neck and said, "My lord, there is no evidence, if you really have evidence, you can take it out, so that the lower officials can be convinced." Otherwise, the lower officials really want to go to the court and avenge their grievances. ”

Want proof, huh?

Good!

Yang Cong said aloud without hesitation: "Come on, bring the evidence." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard walked in with a booklet in the shape of a ledger.

What kind of evidence is this, account books or something, isn't it generally evidence that proves corrupt officials and corrupt officials?

Tu Dashan really didn't understand what kind of account could condemn him in this world, because he had never corrupted even a penny at all.

Yang Cong opened the account book unhurriedly, and said with a slight mockery: "Tu Dashan, you are good, Jinling Longjiang Shipyard has been closed for decades, and you have to pay out of your own pocket, organize craftsmen, purchase materials, and revitalize it." ”

This seems to be a good thing, why did the Governor use it as evidence that Tu Dashan connived and instructed pirates and pirates to plunder Suzhou and Yangzhou Mansions?

When several jury officials heard this, they were all puzzled.

However, when Tu Dashan heard the name of Jinling Longjiang Shipyard, his face changed color again.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he hesitated: "This, this matter is an order from Lord Zhao Wenhua Zhao, and the subordinate is just acting according to the order." ”

Yang Cong still mocked slightly: "Oh, it's Lord Zhao's order, Lord Zhao is dead, and there is no proof of death, right?" You're really good, a deserted shipyard has really been revitalized by you, and you can still build imperial warships! ”

Something seems to be wrong.

Build a warship!

What do you build warships for?

Tu Dashan thought for a while, and then said hesitantly: "This, Lord Zhao may see that there are signs of a resurgence of pirates and pirates, so he wants to build some warships to strengthen coastal defense." ”

This reason is also said in the past, when Yang Cong was the governor of Zhejiang, he also supervised the construction of warships in Fuzhou Nantai Shipyard to strengthen coastal defense, encircle and suppress pirates and pirates, and Zhao Wenhua ordered Tu Dashan to supervise the construction of warships, which seems to be nothing wrong.

However, Yang Cong still flipped through the account book and said with a slight mockery: "You are really good, you have built more than 30 warships in the past few years, and you have even built a lot of muskets and artillery." ”

At this time, Tu Dashan began to sweat on his forehead, he really didn't expect that Yang Cong would find out the Longjiang Shipyard, and find out the secret account book of the Longjiang Shipyard so quickly, and the things recorded on it could really kill him.

How did he know that in Jinling City, what kind of yamen officials, all kinds of craftsmen, no movement can escape Yang Cong's eyes, the head snake Zhang Ping is Yang Cong's eyeliner, Tu Dashan has made such a big move, can Yang Cong not know?

This matter was indeed negligent on his part, he had known that Yang Cong would find out to the Longjiang Shipyard, so he should have quickly hidden the account book or something, or simply destroyed it.

At this time, he could only reply hesitantly: "This is also for the need to strengthen coastal defense." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he sneered: "Strengthen coastal defense? What about the ships you have built? What about muskets? And what about artillery? Where are they gone? ”

Tu Dashan could only stubbornly say: "It's all distributed to strengthen coastal defense." “

Yang Cong still sneered: "It's been distributed, who is it distributed to, Tang Kekuan, the chief soldier of Nanzhili, and Qi Jingtong, the chief soldier of the naval division, have not received a single artillery, a musket, let alone a warship." ”

Tu Dashan could only continue to bite the bullet and say: "This, it's all distributed to the coastal capital guards, isn't it all recorded in the account book?" ”

Yang Cong pretended to be curious and said: "This is strange, you have built so many warships, as well as muskets and artillery, and the coastal capital guards are still vulnerable, but pirates and pirates have used muskets and artillery to attack the state capital and county, how do you explain it?" ”

Does this need to be explained?

Obviously, Tu Dashan did not distribute the muskets and cannons he had made to the coastal capital guards, but to pirates and pirates!

At this time, the faces of several jury officials changed, they knew that the maritime tycoon was involved in pirates and pirates, but they never thought that this Tu Dashan would secretly make muskets and cannons for pirates and pirates.

Nima, you're going too far, aren't you?

Tu Dashan was sweating profusely at this moment, he really couldn't explain this!

He thought anxiously for a while, and simply insisted on it: "My lord, this subordinate is not clear, anyway, how many warships have been built, how many muskets and cannons have been built, there are records in the account books, who received them, there are also records in the account books, and there are also official documents signed by them as evidence, as for what they took it for, the lower officials are not clear." ”

Still want to quibble?

Yang Cong sneered, and then said loudly outside: "Come on, bring the witness." ”

Soon, a personal guard came in with a middle-aged man who was more than half a general.

Yang Cong said solemnly to the middle-aged man: "Who is in the hall, report your name." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Xiaguan Zhenhaiwei commanded Lu Dayong to see the governor." ”

Yang Cong nodded slightly, then opened the account book and read: "You once received six warships, thirty muskets, and ten artillery pieces from the Jinling Longjiang Shipyard, but is there such a thing?" ”

Lu Dayong glanced at Tu Dashan with a little trepidation, and then said stiffly: "My lord, there is no such thing, Xiaguan has never been to Longjiang Shipyard, let alone received warships, muskets and artillery. ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Then why is your name on this account book, have you signed any official documents to prove that you have received it." ”

Lu Dayong stubbornly explained: "The lower official did sign the official document to receive it, but it was all forced by Lord Zhao and Lord Tu to sign the official sign, if the lower official didn't sign it, this commander would have nothing to do!" ”
