Chapter 788: Proving Innocence (I)
Since Zhang Siwei stood in this court. Of course, it was also spoken. He's not a wooden man. Can't be too perverse. But. He never said anything to defend himself. From start to finish. Zhang Siwei was very calm. Not much to say. Unless he has to speak. He'll talk about it. Until now. Zhang Siwei didn't take the initiative to speak.
But now. This time Zhang Siwei was the first time. Took the initiative to speak. And he opened his mouth. It's not for anything else. It is the theme that points directly to this time. He was defending himself.
This time. It can be regarded as making the scene lively all of a sudden. Even the Empress Dowager Li has already made a decree. This time, observers were allowed. No noise. Otherwise, the rod will serve. But even so. The people present were also whispering. I don't take that purpose seriously at all.
And Feng Bao didn't seem to care about it. There's no intention of making trouble for anyone. One comes. Now he is also more interested in Zhang Siwei. As for the words of others. Feng Bao didn't ask. It's just that there are more interesting things in front of him at the moment.
Second. Feng Bao didn't want to. But in front of these people. He really couldn't help it. After all. There are many "types" of these people present. It's not just those who want to support Zhang Siwei. Even many people who stood in his Feng Bao camp had arrived here. Now. These people are not separated from each other. Everybody was whispering. What did this make Feng Bao do. He couldn't have grabbed everybody and beaten them up. If you say it, grab it all. When the time comes, it's not just him who has hit his own people. The news reached the Empress Dowager Li. He, Feng Bao, also had to be reprimanded. If you only want to catch those people who Feng Bao can't see. Then the others are going to make trouble again. In the end. It was still Feng Bao who suffered.
Figured this out. Feng Bao simply turned a blind eye to this matter. Ignore it. All his thoughts were on Zhang Siwei's body in front of him.
And. Honestly. What Zhang Siwei is saying now. It did interest him a lot. Zhang Siwei said. He had something to say. And it is a word that can prove his innocence. This couldn't help but make Feng Bao very curious. And he was curious. I sneered in my heart. He wanted to see it. What tricks can Zhang Siwei play? What kind of words to say.
"Oh. can prove the innocence of Lord Zhang. Listen to what Zhang Siwei said. Liu Siwen was also surprised. Said. "That being the case. I think it's a very important thing. Then I have to ask Mr. Zhang to talk about it. Merely. This bears witness to itself. Isn't there something wrong? ”
"Lord Liu, please rest assured. These things. Ziwei still understands. Zhang Siwei smiled slightly. Said. "These things. Although Ziwei said it himself. But it's all well-founded. And there are witnesses. If you are all of you. But anyone who doesn't believe Ziwei's words. Just ask. ”
Listen to what Zhang Siwei said. Everyone present looked at each other. Zhang Siwei said so surely. Obviously, there is a lot of certainty that this will happen. But now. Although talking about the specific inside story of the case. It's still a bit confusing. But Zhang Siwei can't be accused of the crime. Zhang Siwei couldn't prove his innocence. But. The current situation. In fact, it is very unfavorable for Zhang Siwei. If it is true, there is no evidence to be found. But if these things insist on Zhang Siwei's head. It's not impossible. After all, there is nothing but such a thing nowadays. Anyway. Someone has to be responsible. If it comes to the end. It is impossible to specify who is behind the scenes. I'm afraid to find Zhang Siwei, the only suspect, as a scapegoat. It's not impossible.
Now. It looks like things are about to turn around.
And this scene. Even Feng Bao, who has been confident in being able to convict Zhang Siwei since the beginning. Hearing Zhang Siwei's words of affirmation. There was also a slight look of surprise on his face. Feng Bao at the moment. The first thing that comes to mind is. Is there something wrong with me? Could it be that there is something hidden in this that has not been clarified?
When the Criminal Department went to Shanxi to investigate. The people from the East Factory are also there. Then. The people in Dongchang chased Liang Chao at first. However, there was no trace of Liang Chao along the way. But they didn't give up. And. They also heard that Zhang Siwei had gone to Wang Chonggu's camp. It's just that Wang Chonggu led the troops out to practice. The yamen was never notified. Although it is an army of tens of thousands. But Shanxi is huge. It's hard to find for a while.
And the people in the East Factory are secretly operating this time. Don't make a noise. So I never found it. Until the people from the Criminal Department came. Go to the official and ask. I know where Wang Chonggu is. These people from the East Factory followed and looked for it.
Although they could not enter the big camp. But they are very closely watched. And they found out. Zhang Siwei's people are indeed in the camp. I put it down.
But there is a point. That's what the people in the criminal department investigated. They don't know. And the people from the Criminal Department are on the way back to Beijing. Although it was brought with Zhang Siwei. But the trip didn't drag on. The road is fast. All the way to the back of the capital. The next day. That is, the trial will begin today.
Feng Bao didn't want to know what news the Criminal Department had gotten. It's just that this world is really a little too anxious. No matter how high his status is, how powerful he is, and how he has a way now. But if you don't have time. It's all just empty talk.
At this moment, Feng Bao was thinking about it. Could it be said. There's really something going on in there. That's what happened. And it's all things he doesn't have a clue about. This feeling. Feng Bao didn't like it very much. Didn't like it at all. But that's the reality. There was nothing he could do.
"Since Master Zhang has said so. Let's not say much. Liu Siwen said. No matter what Master Zhang has to say. But not credible. I'll wait until I'm done. Mr. Zhang, please also say. ”
"That's what happened." Zhang Siwei said. Ziwei went home that day to recuperate. I didn't actually spend a few days at home. He went to his uncle's army. Until now. It's been almost two months. Never a step out of the barracks......"
"Oh." didn't wait for Zhang Siwei to finish speaking. Feng Bao on the side couldn't wait to refute. "It's hard to see what Lord Zhang meant. Just because you're in the military. There are people around me all the time. So I didn't have a chance to write this letter. ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry. Let's listen to Ziwei. Zhang Siwei interrupted Feng Bao's words. There is not the slightest unpleasant look. Not even the smile on his face changed. Said. Ziwei didn't think that this incident alone could dispel Ziwei's suspicions. Not to mention even in the army. Some of Ziwei's habits still can't be changed. As you all know. On weekdays, Ziwei likes to read some books. Write something. Even if you are in the army. This habit is still hard to break.
"If Ziwei really wants this letter. There are still opportunities. There are not literate people in the army. But my uncle doesn't look at me all day. Neither will the other generals. And Ziwei doesn't come back until late at night every day. If you want to write something unspeakable without being discovered. It's still very easy. ”
"So to speak. Mr. Zhang acknowledges that this letter is from you. "Feng Bao is really desperate now. Don't miss the slightest opportunity. Even at this time. Don't forget to say that.
In the face of Feng Bao's such a stitch. Although Zhang Siwei is indeed very annoying in his heart. But I couldn't help but want to laugh. Feng Bao was indeed in too much of a hurry. I'm a little out of my mind. Even this kind of place has to stand up and roar.
And in the face of such a Feng Bao. Zhang Siwei still looks slow. said: "Father-in-law, don't misunderstand. It's hard to say that my father-in-law didn't hear it. Ziwei just said the word 'if'. ”
"Huh. Master Zhang is not strange. It is also our family who is anxious to solve this case. Feng Bao's expression also became faster. Our family thought that Mr. Zhang had leaked his mouth for a while. I want to cheat you. ”
Let's be honest. Feng Bao's words were not at the slightest level. How smelly it is to stink. How can anyone ask that? Even if it's a lie. I think about it by oneself, too. Or think about yourself. How can anyone say this in front of the interrogator.
The only explanation is. Feng Bao was really impatient now. It's a little unclear what kind of situation we're in.
"That's not what Ziwei wants to say." Zhang Siwei said. "But it also has something to do with it. Ziwei was in his uncle's army. It was also practiced with the sergeants. And the temper of the uncle. I don't think I need to say it again. Colleagues present. Anyone who knows my uncle understands. On weekdays, my uncle was generous and kind. But once in the army. Facing the words of the sergeant. It was immediately a change. Whatever it is. All are treated equally. ”
Zhang Siwei's words. It resonated with everyone present. Although Wang Chonggu has been on the side for decades. But his temper was also known in the imperial court. Nobody knows everybody.
"Lord Wang is really an example." Even Liu Si asked. It's all blurted out. "Still. How can this prove the innocence of Lord Zhang? ”
"Actually......" Zhang Siwei said here. He looked embarrassed. There was a slight flush on his face. "From the day before the flood. Until three days later. I couldn't have known about it. ”
Zhang Siwei said. Everyone present was stunned.
And Zhang Fan was on the side. Although the expression was the same as that of everyone else present. But I had already laughed in my heart: "This four-dimensional." I really know how to act. It turned out. Official. All of them are actors. ”
