What happened to Li Yong was also repeated in Pei Dunfu. Except for Pei Dunfu himself, no one in the hall was surprised, as if he had known that such a farce was going to happen. Evidence of embezzlement that never appeared in the accounts, and even the exchange of property with important officials in Beijing, down to the location and person, to the early morning or dusk, almost as if you had seen it with your own eyes.

Then, accompanied by the accusations and confessions of local officials in Zichuan, one thing after another was confirmed and turned into ironclad evidence.

From beginning to end, Pei Dunfu didn't say a word, he just sat on the ground and listened to all these things that were not even familiar to him, and listened to the generous statements of his once loyal subordinates and gritted his teeth. The confession was placed in front of him, the pen dipped in ink was placed in front of him, and Yang Shenjin's voice sounded: "Pei Dunfu, the evidence is like a mountain, you are irrefutable, draw a charge." ”

Pei Dunfu lifted the pen like dead ashes, the pen in his hand was as light as a feather on weekdays, and he could write ten thousand styles on the paper at will, but now it was like a thousand pounds, making his arms and arms sore, heavy and unbearable.

Yang Shenjin glared at Pei Dunfu and said coldly: "This official hopes that you will recognize the situation, this official has respect for you and does not want to use punishment, but don't force me to do this." I know you love decency and I don't want you to be decent. ”

Pei Dunfu let out a long sigh, put down his pen, and Li Yong's soft sigh came from his ears.

"Take it down, take it up." Yang Shen said.

The two soldiers picked up Pei Dunfu, who had lost his mobility, and almost took him out of the lobby, and then the unrelated people were also waved back.

"Deputy Envoy Wang, this time the cases of Li Yong and Pei Dunfu have come to light, and we can try the case of Li Yong and Du Youlin's collusion and conspiracy. If there are no accidents, the case can be concluded today, and tomorrow we can escort the prisoner out of Beihai and back to Beijing. After today's incident, I held a banquet in Beihai Restaurant to entertain everyone, you and I handled the case together, but we have never had a meal together, and others will not believe it. Hahaha. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded: "With Yang Shangshu's arrangement, of course the lower officials agree." ”

Yang Shenjin nodded, looked at Li Yong and shouted: "Li Yong, now the case of collusion between you and Du Youlin is officially tried, yesterday you have already expressed your position to expose Du Youlin's misdeeds, so let's start now." ”

Li Yong's gaze swept towards Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan suddenly got up and said with a smile: "Yang Shangshu, rest for a while, Pei Dunfu's case has been working on for more than an hour just now, and everyone is a little tired, why don't you rest in the hall for a while and then make a breath?" ”

Yang Shenjin frowned and said, "This official is not tired. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Yang Shangshu is iron-beaten body, although he is not tired, we are tired. Look at these people in the hall, all of them are standing in strange postures, obviously tired enough. It's better to take a break and not delay much effort. Besides, Xia Guan was also a little thirsty, so he drank a cup of hot tea and asked the case again, in short, the case was closed today. ”

Although Yang Shenjin was reluctant, he saw that everyone in the hall was indeed a little tired, and the center of gravity of the officials would shift from the left foot to the right foot, and from the right foot to the left foot for a while. The Beihai officials also swayed like a scarecrow one by one, and some people secretly leaned against the wall to support the drum rack.

"Well, then rest for a while, and no one is allowed to leave, and rest in place. The servant went to pour two cups of tea for the official and the king's deputy envoy. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and waved his hand and said: "I'll come by myself, I'm not used to the tea they make, Yang Shangshu knows that I only drink water to make tea, and I will come by myself." ”

Yang Shenjin didn't want to be verbose with Wang Yuan, and asking someone to make tea for him was just out of politeness, he liked to do it himself, and he couldn't care about it. Wang Yuan got up and came to the hut in the side hall of the yamen, made two bowls of tea with tea leaves, and came to the hall with the chassis in both hands. One bowl was placed on his seat, and he used a cloth towel to pad it underneath and held the other bowl and walked straight to Li Yong, who was sitting on the ground.

Yang Shenjin asked, "What is Deputy Envoy Wang doing?" ”

Wang Yuan turned around and smiled: "It's also very hard to look at Li Taishou, after all, an old man who is nearly seventy years old, even if he is a sinner, should have a little respect." I also made him a bowl, Yang Shangshu won't blame me. ”

Yang Shenjin snorted, turned his head to look away, and said in his heart: At this time, you are still close to Li Yongtao, a sour one, and I don't know how to advance or retreat.

Wang Yuan walked towards Li Yong, squatted down and handed over the tea bowl with both hands, and said with a smile: "Li Taishou, the freshly brewed tea is a little hot, you hold the cloth towel below, so as not to burn your hands."

Li Yong didn't have the heart to drink tea, he reached out to take the tea bowl suspiciously, and suddenly felt that there was a hard thing under the soft cloth towel, and he was shocked. Seeing that Wang Yuan stretched out his sleeves to cover himself, he hurriedly held the thing in the palm of his hand, only glanced at it, and immediately recognized what it was.

It was the crane silver hairpin on the head of his old wife Chen, and it was a hairpin that he bought for her decades ago, and he never bought her jewelry since. But this hairpin has been used to seeing it for decades, and he knows this thing at a glance, and his heart is suddenly bright.

This hairpin is something that the old wife never leaves, and at this moment Wang Yuan took it and secretly gave it to himself, obviously telling himself that he had fulfilled his promise and saved his family, otherwise this silver hairpin would not have been in Wang Yuan's hands. Li Yong was so excited that he almost cried, and wanted to lie on the ground immediately to thank Wang Yuan, but he couldn't do so.

"Drink, drink this bowl of tea, you also explain your affairs quickly, this case is so hard to investigate, you are also hard, we are also hard, end this matter happily, and save everyone from working hard." Wang Yuan smiled.

Li Yong nodded again and again, put the silver hairpin into his sleeve, picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea, the hot snow exhaled, and hot sweat broke out on his forehead. Wang Yuan watched him finish drinking the tea, took the tea bowl, turned around and returned to his seat, picked up his bowl of tea and drank it all.

"It's pretty much it, let's get started." Yang Shenjin's tea hadn't even been boiled and served.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, Yang Shangshu really forgot to sleep and eat, and did his best for official work." ”

Yang Shenjin ignored him, looked at Li Yong in the hall and said, "Li Yong, you can explain." It's still the old rule, every time I ask about something between you and Du Youlin, you just have to admit or deny it. The clerk should write it down word for word. ”

Li Yong stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and smiled: "Yang Shangshu, let's start." ”

Yang Shenjin nodded and said, "Have you ever had money and goods exchanges and close contacts between you and Du Youlin?" ”

The clerk wrote down the question, but Li Yong said lightly: "Who is Du Youlin?" Li didn't know any Du Youlin, let alone talk about any close money and material exchanges. ”

Yang Shen opened his mouth dumbfounded: "Li Yong, do you hear my question clearly?" You have thought of an answer to my words. ”

Li Yong smiled and said: "Yang Shenjin, you don't have to think about it, it is impossible for me to frame Du Youlin with my conscience, although my Li Yong has a bad character, but I don't lose a big festival." I know your intentions, and your schemes will not succeed. Yang Shenjin, my Li Yong's mistake is that I did not restrain myself, and I was not strict with myself, which led to today's disaster. But now, can Li Mouyan make the mistake of not being strict with himself again? You don't want to hear a word of slander from me. ”

"You! Li Yong, you are so bold, don't you want to think about the consequences of your doing this? Yang Shen's face turned pale in shock, and his voice became sharp, sounding very harsh.

"Tell you, the old man is not afraid, not at all. The old man has been a person who is not afraid of the sky and the earth all his life, and in the end he will be blackmailed by your young people, I bah. Li Yong scolded.

"Take him down, serve him with great punishment, and ask him if he will be summoned." Yang Shenjin roared angrily.

Li Yong shouted: "Who dares to touch me, I, Li Yong, have lived for almost 70 years, I have already lived enough, I will repay Your Majesty's kindness with my life, Your Majesty spared my life more than ten years ago, I have lived for more than ten years, and I have already lived enough." Your Majesty, it's time to return your life. ”

Li Yong said that, he yelled, dragged the shackles on his hands and feet and rushed out, and his body slammed into the corner of the large square table in front of Yang Shenjin in a daze. The soldiers couldn't react, and the officials didn't expect it, so they heard a muffled sound from Kala, and half of the table in front of Yang Shenjin collapsed. The pen and ink on the table flew up, splashing Yang Shenjin's head and face, and Yang Shenjin instantly became a big face.

Yang Shenjin screamed in horror and jumped up, and several soldiers and servants rushed forward, but when he saw Li Yong's body falling, a bloody hole on the top of his head was gurgling out of red and white blood, and even the gods could not be saved.
