Chapter 155: A drink and a peck, there is a destiny of its own
In Liu Lang's bribery case, there is nothing to try if the person who took bribes was seized, and the case can be closed by only determining the person who gave the bribe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Under his questioning, Zhang Chengyu confessed that he was instructed by his second uncle Zhang He to send money to Liu Lang. However, when Zhang He passed through the hall, he flatly denied that he had bribed Liu Lang, and said that he had long since stopped asking about the martial arts hall and knew nothing about the bribe.
For this reason, the uncle and nephew confronted each other in court and started a war of words.
And Han Tai's side of the case is also resolute, as early as the case has been deduced in advance, and then two witnesses have identified, and Wang Chaoli was detained in court.
When the case was tried to this extent, even Wang Qiong, who was listening to the trial, was helpless about it.
What made Wang Qiongliao feel relieved was that his son was still angry, and he was not stupid enough to admit his guilt in court, and he denied the fact that he hired a murderer.
Han Tai didn't care about this either, with the confessions of the witnesses, Wang Chaoli couldn't get away with the crime. If he dared to openly stand up to try this case, it would be impossible for him to leave no one behind.
The murder case was put on hold for the time being, but the dogskin things that Wang Chaoli had done in the past were poked out.
Under the arrangement of Lu Cheng and Zuo Guoji, many people who had been oppressed by Wang Chaoli before jumped out to sue Wang Chaoli and shook out all the things he had done as a traitor and criminal.
These things are obviously not enough for Wang Chao to be convicted of a serious crime, but they also stain Wang Qiong with a lax godson. In the end, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not come to the trial again, but only sent his subordinates to watch the trial, so as to know the progress of the case in time.
But no matter how you say it, Wang Chaoli is the son of Wang Qiong, and it is obviously not possible to use punishment to extract confessions. And under Han Tae's questioning and the testimony of many people, he can only confess.
But when it comes to hiring a murderer, Wang Chaoli will not admit it alive or dead.
However, at this moment, a major event occurred in the prefect's yamen, which broke the current stalemate.
He Rong, the prefect of Kaifeng, "inadvertently" learned that the murderer who "committed suicide in fear of crime" in prison on the day of Shangyuan was actually killed.
For this reason, Governor He immediately began to investigate and interrogated a group of jailers.
Soon, he found out what happened, and it was Wang Chaoli's henchmen who bribed two jailers to kill the murderer in prison, and faked the illusion of suicide in fear of crime.
If there are doubts, the previous case will naturally have to be retried.
As a result, the He Governor's Mansion interrogated Zhang Chengzhi again, and the final result was that Zhang Chengzhi was also instructed by Wang Chaoli to send someone to assassinate Lu Cheng.
In other words, Wang Chaoli is the main messenger of the murder case in Shangyuan, the real murderer behind the scenes!
The last trump card of Sun Xu and Han Taizang was finally played, and it caused a sensation in the entire Kaifeng Mansion for a while.
Murder in prison is a trivial crime.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Chaoli has long unknowingly stepped into the trap of Sun Xuyi's faction, but he himself does not know it, and he thinks that he is acting seamlessly.
Yes, before the two sides were tense and head-to-head, everyone thought that He Zhifu would deliberately ignore the suspicion that the murderer committed suicide because he was timid.
If this matter is taken out, Wang Qiong can also use himself to deter the power of one party and throw out the entourage of the dynasty to accept the guilt.
Now that the two crimes are committed concurrently, the murder of the dynasty has been confirmed, and he can't rely on it.

Left house, in the hall.
After Lu Cheng heard the news brought back by Zuo Guoji, he also looked a little stunned, and then sighed: "I really can't imagine that things will evolve into the situation like today, it is really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind!" ”
"Brother Lu, why should he be arrogant?"
Zuo Guoji just smiled when he heard this, then looked at him suspiciously, frowned, and said: "Now that I think about it carefully, I feel more and more that things are a little wrong------ Brother Lu, didn't you already calculate today's situation, and set up a dead end in advance, leading Wang Chaoli to drill inside, right?" ”
Without waiting for Lu Cheng to answer, he said directly: "In my opinion, Brother Lu is neither the cicada nor the yellow finch, but the hands of the hunter hidden at the end------ all of this is completely under your control, right?" What a good means! ”
Lu Cheng was a little speechless, what did this guy think of himself?
If you really want to be able to play such a big game of chess, you will be framed again and again, and finally think of turning to Sun Xu for help?
He shook his head and smiled, and took a sip of tea from the teacup before explaining: "This matter is indeed not what I did, but it is not unaware------ as early as after the villain died in prison that day, I have thought that the people of the Zhang family can't do this, and they don't dare to do anything to kill their mouths in the government." ”
Zuo Guoji nodded lightly, Lu Cheng's suspicions were justified, the reason why the so-called extinction of the mouth was able to succeed again and again was actually because the government was turning a blind eye.
If Governor He intends to pursue this matter, it is impossible to approve of such nonsense that the murderer committed suicide in prison. It's just that everyone didn't expect that Governor He would jump out at this time and openly oppose the Wang family.
Lu Cheng was indeed skeptical of this, but he didn't dare to delve into the matter, because he was vaguely aware at that time that the person who killed the mouth was likely to be Wang Chaoli.
But what if you know it?
According to the situation at the time, it was impossible for He Zhifu to be more serious in this matter, if he held on to it, he would only startle the snake and force Wang Chaoli to kill him.
More is better than less, in order to seek peace, Lu Cheng chose temporary forbearance and compromise.
It was precisely because he had doubts about Wang Chaoli that he let Zhang Chengyu go and let the other party keep an eye on Wang Chaoli for him. Otherwise, as early as that night, he would have died under the knife of the butcher.
After thinking about it, Zuo Guoji asked again: "So, how do you know that Lord Futai has the heart to move Wang Qiong?" ”
"Maybe it's a little luck------
Lu Cheng laughed and said, "I didn't know that Lord Sun would make a move this time, it's just that a blind cat ran into a dead mouse." ”
Zuo Guoji obviously didn't believe his words.
If he is not sure, why does he dare to argue with Wang Qiong and refuse to negotiate peace?
If he was not sure, why did he find the right person as soon as he looked for it, and Governor Sun really helped him?
All this is simply a coincidence!
If it was just a matter of luck, it would not have been convincing him.
However, he only thought that there were some shady transactions here, and Lu Cheng was not good at revealing the truth, so he didn't continue to ask. Instead, he mentioned the matter of the Zhang family: "Brother Lu, over there of the Zhang family, how do you plan to end up?" ”
"Well------ this"
Lu Cheng pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Actually, I can't guess Lord Sun's thoughts, just wait and see------ no matter what, you can't harm Old Pavilion Master Zhang." ”
Zuo Guoji nodded in agreement, he had always felt that Lu Cheng was not ruthless enough, not desperate enough, and was a little soft on the enemy------ but as Lu Cheng's friend, he also appreciated this very much.
Just imagine, if Lu Cheng is really a person who is very deep in the city, decisive, ruthless, and ruthless to any enemy, would he dare to regard him as a close friend?
Communicating with such a person, I feel cautious when I think about it.
In fact, Lu Cheng was sure to keep Zhang He, but the sentence behind him didn't come out: "If Zhang Chengyu doesn't listen to the advice and still insists on biting Zhang He to death and bribes, don't blame me Lu Cheng for being ruthless." ”
For Lu Cheng, Zhang Chengyu is just a biting dog he raised, and Zhang Zijun is his true friend------ even if she said to her face that she would break off her kindness.
Today's Zhang Chengyu has long lost the value of use, and Lu Cheng has not crossed the river to tear down the bridge and fall into the well. If he still doesn't know what to do and wants to kill Zhang He, Lu Cheng doesn't mind revealing the real facts in Shangyuan Night.
With the deliberate murder case in the front and the bribery in the back, why is it difficult to stuff it on him again?
The truth is less important than the interests of all parties. If it really comes to that time, it will only be Zhang Chengyu who will die, not Zhang He.
A drink and a peck, its own destiny.
Things have come to this point, it seems, should this be the end of it?

He Zhifu's sudden blow caught Wang Qiong off guard and completely panicked.
He never thought that Sun Xu had been thinking about it for a long time, and he had already buried such two shadows. He finally realized that he had made a mistake.
With the further development of the situation, he has fallen behind, and the situation is quite unfavorable for him.
The panicked people are not only Wang Qiong, but also a group of officials of all sizes in Henan.
Originally, no one thought that Wang Qiong would lose to Sun Xu, after all, he represented the entire Henan officialdom, and behind him, he had the support of most of his colleagues------
But why did things turn out to be the way they are?
Many people can't figure it out, or they don't want to admit it, Sun Xu actually took one step and counted three steps, and dug a trap early and waited for the Wang family to jump in by himself.
This Lord Futai is really terrifying!
Many people gathered in the back hall of the political envoy's yamen to discuss how to respond.
In fact, everyone knows that Wang Chaoli can't be saved, but no one dares to say it in front of Wang Qiong. Although he has a total of three sons, and he is also upright and in his prime, he will not break the incense of the Wang family------ but who can bear the pain of losing his son?
The two murder cases occurred concurrently, and they were still important witnesses in the prefect's prison, and Wang Chaoli's head could not be saved.
Now, all everyone has to consider is how to keep Wang Qiong and maintain their iron plate, in case Sun needs to eradicate them one by one.
At this moment, the face of Li Jin, the political envoy, was also cloudy, and his expression was even more gloomy.
If Han Tae jumped out to support Sun Xu, it only increased Sun Xu's chances of victory, but it could not decide the victory or defeat, and the murder case that He Rong poked out really made the situation unbalanced.
The balance of victory has shifted to the side of the opponent.
He never thought that he would make repeated mistakes this time, standing on the wrong team------ he should have known that he should have waited and watched, even if he was like those few people, it would be good to remain neutral!
Now that he has come to this point, there is already a faint trace of defeat, Wang Qiong's ship is said to sink if it sinks------ a son of a man who committed murder, and was an official in the township, how could he still gain the trust of the saint?
"Two adults, what do you think should be done now?"
"Yes, now that the situation is urgent, the two adults should make a decision quickly!"
"Isn't it? This is all burning buttocks, please Lord Wang hurry up and get an idea------"
“------”
Now that people are panicking, Wang Qiong feels even more irritable, and wants to slap the table and scold her mother.
Now that I know that I'm in a hurry, why did I go a long time ago?
One by one, they are all provincial officials, or high-ranking officials at the provincial level, and they have no idea when something happens, they are really a group of wine bags and rice bags!
However, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to attack in public, because now the spearhead was pointing directly at him, and even if Sun Xu wanted to clean them up, it would be a matter for the future.
Wang Qiong could see that some people were already planning to jump off their big ship, because although they had stains, they were not too serious. In the future, even if the incident happens, it will be demoted by one or two levels at most as a punishment.
In that case, why should people follow themselves to fight against Sun Xu?
Wang Qiong has no doubt that as long as she loses one more game, someone will turn back.
He thought about it and finally decided to tie these people firmly to his warship just in case.
Thinking of this, Wang Qiong cleared her throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is no way, it depends on whether you are in harmony with my Wang Qiong." ”
"What do you say, why don't you tell me in detail?"
"Hehe------ my method is also simple, although Sun Xu has worked hard, it is not without flaws------"
Wang Qiong smiled heartily, and then explained mysteriously: "Let's think about it, if Liu Lang's bribery is pure slander, how should the saint look at his grandson?" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, this Wang Qiong is not a good stubble!
It's a shame that he can figure it out, in order to deal with Sun Xu, he really has to fall to the eunuchs?
Wang Qiong ignored their reactions, and continued quietly: "It is also known to everyone that the saint favors Liu Lang------ as long as Liu Lang insists that those silver taels are the Zhang family's voluntary donations to the imperial court for the purpose of governing the river, but before they can report to the imperial court, they were framed by Sun Xu------ hum, and then there will be our words and words to corroborate, you say, who will the saint believe?" ”
The words swept over everyone, taking in their reactions, Wang Qiong suddenly said in an aggravated tone: "There is another one, don't forget, Liu Lang is from Dongchang!" ”
The final word, one sentence to break the mystery!
Everyone suddenly realized that as long as they and others jointly played and favored Liu Lang, Dongchang was naturally willing to cooperate. In this way, the facts can be truly distorted, forming a false impression that Sun Xu and Liu Lang have old grudges------
It can be said that this is the most effective way, and it is the only feasible way at the moment!
Li Jin was also shocked in his heart, this Wang Qiong is really a good means!
As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and there is naturally no need to hesitate too much to play this thing together. After thinking for a moment, many officials nodded in agreement with Wang Qiong's proposal.
It is still unknown who killed the deer.

(PS: In fact, this plot line is accidentally spread out too long, resulting in a little tired reading.) Qingtian's writing ability is indeed not enough, and I hope you will understand!
With this in mind, this plot will not be written in detail, the dynasty has fallen, and this plot should also end. As for the earthquake in the officialdom, it has little to do with the protagonist, although it was caused by him. It's a bit irresponsible to say that, haha------ the impact is there, but it's really not much.
This volume is over, and the next volume of "Carp Leaping Dragon Gate", I hope everyone can continue to support, thank you! )
