Chapter Twenty-Nine: Retraction of Confessions
Glancing at Liu Wenxuan coldly, Qian Du turned to look at Chen Yiming and the others, clasped his fists and said: "Lord Chen, Lord Jiang, Lord Li, Gonggong Feng, as far as I know, a month ago, Liu Wenxuan ransomed a woman from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, and it cost a total of 50,000 taels of silver. And this discrepancy, the account book is not shown, obviously this account book is fake, please also ask your Excellency to investigate the case thoroughly. ”
Seeing Qian Du say this, Chen Yiming and the others glanced at each other, and they were all shocked.
After settling down, Chen Yiming spoke: "Lord Liu, what Commander Qian said is true? ”
Liu Wenxuan smiled bitterly and said, "What Commander Qian said is indeed true. ”
Seeing Liu Wenxuan's admission, Li Guangtai's face couldn't help but show disappointment.
However, at this time, Liu Wenxuan's voice changed: "Although it cost 50,000 taels of silver, that silver was not from the old man. ”
"Not you?" Regarding Liu Wenxuan's words, Qian Du didn't believe it, "Who is that?" ”
Liu Wenxuan said: "The 50,000 taels of silver were given by Zheng Yongji, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Zheng. ”
Seeing that this matter was involved in Zheng Yongji again, Chen Yiming and Jiang Fang were both taken aback, and Li Guangtai's old god was there.
And Qian Du and Feng Xi had bright smiles on their faces.
After all, for Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the more ministers involved in this case, the greater the role they have to play.
What's more, in fact, Qian Du already knew about it, but he was willing to stop until Liu Wenxuan personally bit Zheng Yongji.
Chen Yiming and the others saw that the case was becoming more and more extensive, and after discussing in a low voice for a while, Chen Yiming spoke: "Someone, please ask Zheng Yongji, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to come to the Criminal Department to talk about it." ”
Half an hour later, Zheng Yongji rushed over, and after greeting everyone, he asked, "I don't know why a few adults called this official to come?" ”
Chen Yiming said: "Zheng Shilang, according to Liu Wenxuan's confession, you once paid 50,000 taels of silver in Baihua Pavilion to buy a woman for it, I don't know if this matter is serious?" ”
Zheng Yongji nodded and said, "This is indeed the case!" ”
Since the news of Liu Wenxuan's house was raided yesterday, Zheng Yongji knew that Liu Wenxuan would definitely confess himself, so he admitted the matter very shamelessly.
Seeing Zheng Yongji admitting, the smile on Qian Du's face became brighter and brighter, and he didn't want Zheng Yongji's words to follow, but Qian Du's smile froze on his face.
Zheng Yongji said: "At that time, the official lost the face of Li Yushi in the main hall, so he asked Lord Liu to make peace from it, and that woman was just a thank you gift." ”
Then, Zheng Yongji blinked, looked at Chen Yiming innocently and said, "Lord Chen, this official did this, he didn't break the law!" ”
"Naturally not!" Chen Yiming replied.
But Qian Du didn't relent: "Zheng Shilang seems to be very rich!" ”
Zheng Yongji waved his hand disappreciatively and said, "It's just to write a few more words." ”
Seeing Zheng Yongji say this, Qian Du was dumbfounded for a while.
Zheng Yongji's words made Qian Du unable to refute, and no one in the entire Great Zhou knew that Zheng Yongji's words were a must, and many people couldn't ask for it.
Once, someone offered 10,000 taels of silver to ask Zheng Yongji to run the pen, but Zheng Yongji blatantly refused.
It can be seen that Zheng Yongji is really not a bad money.
At this time, Li Guangtai also spoke: "The old man also knows about this matter, the redeemed daughter's real name is Zhou Yutong, and she is the daughter of the former Dali Temple Qing Lord Zhou, and Zhou Da was close friends with the old man and Lord Liu before his death, so he saw that Zheng Shilang ransomed Zhou Yutong, and Lord Liu made peace from it, and the old man resolved the grievances with him. ”
Seeing that Liu Wenxuan had a turnaround, Qian Du was secretly anxious in his heart.
Shaking his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, Qian Du looked at Li Guangtai with an extremely embarrassed expression and said: "Li Yushi is afraid that he doesn't know yet, after Liu Wenxuan adopted the deceased, he actually took Zhou Yutong as his concubine. ”
"You talk nonsense!" Liu Wenxuan's face was blue and white at this time, "After Yutong is an old man, the old man has always regarded him as his own daughter, how can he do such a thing that is inferior to a beast?" ”
Qian Du sneered: "It turns out that Lord Liu has this kind of habit, and he is really inferior to a beast!" ”
Qian Du snorted coldly and said, "Lord Liu, I'm afraid I don't know yet, last night, Zhou Yutong was diagnosed and was pregnant for a month. Lord Liu, who did you say about the child in Zhou Yutong's belly? ”
Hearing this, the first to sit still was Li Guangtai.
Li Guangtai immediately got up, looked at Qian Du with a serious expression and said, "Commander Qian, this matter is no joke!" ”
Qian Du turned to look at Li Guangtai and said with a serious expression: "If Li Yushi doesn't believe it, you can send a doctor to diagnose Zhou Yutong." ”
Hearing this, Li Guangtai knew that what Qian Du said was true, and came to Liu Wenxuan with an excited expression, and roared: "Is this true? ”
Liu Wenxuan wanted to say no, but in the end, he didn't dare to look directly at Li Guangtai's eyes, lowered his head and said, "It's true!" ”
In the voice, there is no frustration.
"Good! Good! Good! What a Liu Wenxuan! What a dignified Hubu Shangshu actually did such a sweeping thing, which is not as good as a pig and a dog! Li Guangtai pointed at Liu Wenxuan, trembling with anger.
"It's me who I'm sorry Brother Zhou!" Liu Wenxuan said in a low voice.
"I'm sorry and that's it?" Li Guangtai naturally didn't believe Liu Wenxuan's nonsense anymore, raised his fist and smashed it into Liu Wenxuan's cheek.
"I'll kill you, a pig and a dog!" While scolding in his mouth, Li Guangtai swung his fist at Liu Wenxuan's face.
And Liu Wenxuan was there motionless.
Seeing this scene, Qian Du showed a smug smile on his face.
However, Chen Yiming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, subconsciously frowned, patted the shocked wood, and shouted: "This is the lobby of the Criminal Department, what kind of system is it?" ”
"Come on, pull Li Yushi away!"
Under the half-pull and half-persuasion of the officials in the court, Li Guangtai returned to his original position.
After tidying up his somewhat messy clothes, Li Guangtai confessed to Chen Yiming, "There are many rudeness in the lower officials, and I invite Lord Chen Haihan." ”
Seeing Chen Yiming nodding his head, Li Guangtai sat down.
Feng Xi, the commander of the East Factory next to him, only flickered slightly, and then picked up the tea cup on the table and drank the tea.
At this time, Liu Wenxuan got up from the ground, looked at Chen Yiming and said, "Lord Chen, this official has not violated any of the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty by doing this!" ”
Chen Yiming thought about it carefully, although Liu Wenxuan would make himself infamous by doing this, he really didn't violate the laws of the Great Zhou.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Chen Yiming said: "Come on, put the criminal Liu Wenxuan in the prison first, and let this official explain the situation to His Majesty first, and then deal with it!" ”
Seeing Chen Yiming say this, Qian Du couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Liu Wenxuan can't die this time, as long as there are no accidents, his career is completely over.
