Bai Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked at Feng Xianzhang with bloodshot eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Xianzhang said: "Lord Bai, I am also helpless, your mouth is too hard, otherwise I am afraid I won't be able to pry your mouth open!" ”

"You better confess honestly, as long as you confess now, I will never embarrass your two sons. But if you still don't recruit, I can't guarantee it. ”

"Okay, you let my son go, what you ask, I will answer." Bai Wenxuan said word by word.

"I let your son go, what if you don't recruit again?" Feng Xianzhang asked.

"You can catch them back at any time, how dare I not recruit them?" Bai Wenxuan said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't think of that." After Feng Xianzhang said this sentence in a special way, he said to the person next to him: "You, send the two white sons back to the county office." The man said yes, and walked out with two small children who were trembling and unable to speak.

When they walked out of the interrogation room, Feng Xianzhang turned around and said to Bai Wenxuan: "Now Lord Bai can recruit him." ”

"I'll recruit. I only deliberately talked more so that the Li family and the monk family did not cooperate with the government because I looked down on merchants from the bottom of my heart, and I also opposed His Majesty's policy towards merchants a while ago. I ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Xianzhang: "Lord Bai, it's better for you to tell the truth." If you really look down on the merchant from the bottom of your heart, you can refuse when Your Majesty tells you to do so, and Your Majesty will never depose Lord Bai because you refuse. This kind of lie, which is a lie when you hear it, still doesn't need to be said again. ”

Although Bai Wenxuan couldn't fool him with this reason, he still insisted on a few more words, until Feng Xianzhang threatened his son again before he changed his words and said, "What I said just now is indeed a lie. That's the way it really is. ”

"The Li family has offended me before. Once I summoned the head of his house, and the man was not very respectful. I'm a dignified official anyway, and no matter how rich the Li family is, it's just a businessman at the end of the four people, so disrespectful, how can I not care? What's more, the Li family has been evading taxes, so that the commercial tax has been insufficient for the past two years since I took over as the magistrate of Wu County, and I can only increase the taxes of other merchants, of course I am dissatisfied with the Li family. ”

"As for the Shang family, because they have already said unnecessary things to the Li family, they can only make mistakes again and again. Who would have thought that His Majesty would suddenly send someone to the two merchants to inquire again. ”

Bai Wenxuan's reason is at least quite reasonable, and in the past year, he has indeed been looking for trouble with the Li family, and from time to time he has sent officials to the Li family's shop to check the accounts, so that the Li family also has a lot of losses.

However, "I also know that the head of the Li family offended you that time, but later the Li family went to the county government many times to make amends, and was willing to make up the taxes, but you have never accepted the Li family's compensation, which can't be explained according to your own words." Feng Xianzhang said.

"To be honest, I really don't understand why you have to get along with the Li family, but it's definitely not because the Li family is disrespectful to you."

Bai Wenxuan used this reason to prevaricate for a long time, and then sighed and said, "Then I'll tell the truth." I fell in love with the second daughter of the head of the Li family and wanted to take her as a concubine, but the head of the Li family never agreed, so I deliberately rectified their Li family. ”

"Because this reason is hindered by my reputation, I have been making up reasons and I don't want to say it."

"You Bai Wenxuan is also a womanizer? Doesn't it usually look like it? Feng Xianzhang said with some surprise.

"Who says that a womanizer must be revealed on the surface? Besides, I'm not a womanizer in the words of ordinary people. Bai Wenxuan said.

Feng Xianzhang was a little hesitant, his intuition felt that this was not the real reason, but he couldn't refute this reason.

Feng Xianzhang hesitated for a while and said, "I can't find a loophole, it seems to be the real reason." So saying, he asked the clerk who was recording the record to bring him the notebook in which he had written down the reason, and said to him, "Do you dare to sign the book?" ”

"Why don't you dare?" He picked up a pen and wrote his name on it, and then dipped his right thumb in ink and made a fingerprint.

"Take him to prison, and I will go to the saint." With that, Feng Xianzhang left the interrogation room. Several brocade guards took him to prison.

The prison was covered with dust, and it looked like it hadn't been used in years. Jin Yiwei, who was holding Bai Wenxuan, had a great desire to speak, and said: "This prison has not been opened for ten years since His Majesty Hongwu announced that he would stop pursuing Hu Weiyong's rebellion against the party, and you are the first person to be locked up here in the past ten years. ……”

Bai Wenxuan did not speak. The battle of wits and courage with Feng Xianzhang just now made him physically and mentally exhausted, and although the previous injuries had been treated, it was impossible to get better so quickly, he was very tired and just wanted to find a place to sleep.

So he quickly fell asleep, even though a few brocade guards had thrown him into a dusty cell, a few emaciated rats, and a cobwebbed corner.

I don't know how long it took, he seemed to hear something in his ears: "Brother Bai, Your Majesty accepted the reason you told at the end, and you have hidden the real reason. ”

Bai Wenxuan said unconsciously: "Great." Hide it. Yan Shangshu, although he failed to destroy His Majesty's plan this time, he was finally not exposed. ”

The voice said a few more words, and he said a few more.

Suddenly, he felt water splashed on his face and woke up completely. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Feng Xianzhang's face with a playful expression.

Feng Xianzhang said: "Yan Shangshu probably refers to one of the masterminds of the original Ministry of Industry and the rebellion case, Yan Zhenzhi, a native of Hangzhou. I really can't believe that you are a colleague of the person who attached the rebellion. ”

Bai Wenxuan's hands and feet were suddenly cold, as if he was on the top of the Himalayan Snow Mountain in an instant, and even his face did not have the slightest blood.

After a long while, he asked Feng Xianzhang, "What kind of method did you use just now?" ”

In fact, this is a kind of hypnosis, which makes Bai Wenxuan hallucinate and lose his consciousness, so as to confide what he thinks in his heart. It's just that the person recruited by Feng Xianzhang is not very capable, and he didn't grasp the ability to control Bai Wenxuan's spirit when he was sober, so he chose to 'cast a spell' while he was asleep.

Feng Xianzhang naturally wouldn't talk to him. There are so many people, and it is not a good thing for him that so many people present have listened to it. People who know this kind of Shinto and Shinto magic have always been forbidden to be recruited by officials and ordinary people.

Feng Xianzhang ignored him and said, "I have already written down what you said just now, so I will go and tell Your Majesty." You just wait for Your Majesty's disposal. ”

After Feng Xianzhang finished speaking, he instructed the other Jinyi guards a few more words, and turned around and walked out of the prison.
