When Su Xu was brought into the gate of the Zhenfu Division, he was so frightened that he couldn't even walk, so he could only be dragged by someone and brought to Lu Jin.

At this time, although Lu Zhen did not put on the eye-catching flying fish suit, and even had a smile on his face, it was indescribably terrifying in Su Yushi's eyes, and as soon as he arrived, he knelt down with a puff and shouted: "Lord Lu...... Although the lower officials have impeached you, that is also their duty, and in fact, they have no prejudice against you. I hope you have a lot of adults, let go of the lower officials......"

Lu Zhen looked at him calmly, and only after he finished begging for mercy did he say, "Do you think that this official asked people to bring you to the Suppression Division to vent his anger for himself?" You are underestimating the strength of this official. Although this official can't be the prime minister, he still has this amount of belly, so how can it be difficult for you because of this. ”

"Then why did Lord Lu send someone to arrest the official?" Su Xu still had a panicked face, he was brought into the Suppression Division like this, and anyone else would feel frightened.

"That's up to you." Lu Zhen snorted softly: "There is a person's name that you should remember, right?" Wan Xie! As soon as this name came out, Su Xu in front of him froze, and then the frightened look on his face became more and more obvious, and he couldn't speak for a while.

It was only after a long time that he ate and said, "This...... Wan Xie's subordinate officials are naturally impressed. At the beginning, he was jointly impeached and convicted by the subordinate and several colleagues. ”

Lu Zhen nodded: "Yes, a few of you have also been praised by the imperial court because of this, and you can be promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank today." I'm right, right? ”

"Positive...... Precisely. Su Xu swallowed his saliva, and then plucked up the courage to ask, "My lord, because you have any friendship with him, so you want to find a lower official, right?" ”

"Of course not. It's just some old things to talk to you about. Lu Zhen sat down on the chair for a long time, and stared at the other party for a while before slowly asking: "At this time and now, I don't think you have to pretend anymore, you and I know what is hidden behind Wan Xie's case." ”

Even if he said this, Su Xu's body shook again, but in the spirit of luck, he still stubbornly said: "Xiaguan really doesn't understand what you said, my lord." At the beginning, this case was tried by the Criminal Department and the Household Department, and everything was tried clearly, could there be anything missing? ”

"Naturally, there was a leak, and a big piece of it was missing." Lu Zhen looked at him and said leisurely: "At that time, when you impeached Wan Xie, you said that he embezzled gold and silver from the treasury by virtue of his position, and filled his pockets, and finally found nearly 50,000 taels of gold and silver from his home. It stands to reason that with these things, it is enough to convict him of a felony, and this case should end here. However, there are some things that may be able to hide from the eyes of many people in the court, but they can't be hidden from the ears and eyes of my Jinyi Wei detectives. This Wan Lang is indeed a rare big silverfish, and he is also very bold, and in a few years, he has not only greedy for these tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In fact, the easiest way for the household department to get money is not to take money from the state treasury, but to move the property that originally belonged to the government to its own name. For example, some Zhuangzi outside the city, such as some shops in the capital. What is surprising is that after the incident, there was no property in this regard among the stolen goods found by the yamen of the Criminal Department, which is too strange. ”

Lu Jin's voice was not loud, and his tone was very peaceful, but listening to Su Xu's ears, it was tantamount to the roar of thunder, which made his whole face turn pale from nervousness, and his body trembled. He wanted to say a few words, but he couldn't say anything.

Lu Jin's words continued: "You said, these industries are not more hidden than gold and silver, and they are not easier to obtain than the silver in the treasury, so why would Wan Xie give up the easy and difficult?" Of course, there is another explanation that in fact, in addition to the more than 200,000 taels of silver, Wan Xie also embezzled a lot of properties before, but somehow it was concealed, and even the imperial court knew that such a property was privately swallowed by others. Speaking of this, his eyes flashed: "Master Su, which one do you say is the truth of the facts?" ”

"I ...... I do not know...... I'm just a speech official, and I haven't tried cases, how can I know what is going on behind these things? Su Xu's face turned pale, trying his best to excuse himself.

"Yes, you're just a gossip-clearer, how could you be involved in such a thing?" Lu Zhen sighed softly: "Then I have another question, how did you get so many industries?" Bring people in for me! The latter sentence was shouted outside.

As soon as the words fell, several men with panicked faces were pushed into the hall by several captains. As soon as they were about to open their mouths to beg for mercy, they saw Su Xu next to them at a glance, and immediately someone called the master and the owner and asked him for help: "The owner, you are also an official of the imperial court, ......how can you speak for us?"

Lu Zhen looked at Su Yushi, who was already as pale as earth and completely stunned, and pointed at the men in front of him who had just been brought by Jinyiwei one by one and said, "Fan Quan, the owner of the Fan family's silk shop in the capital; Wang Huailai, the boss of the cup; Zhao Gujin, the owner of the ancient and modern bookstore, heard that he specializes in Shiwen there, and his business is very prosperous...... "Every time he orders someone, that one is a trembling, and his eyes are full of pleading when he looks at Su Xu."

"In the eyes of others, they are all accomplished businessmen. But only they know that they are just a house slave, just watching the shop for you, the master's family. And these three shops are not cheap, I heard that Master Su, your family is not rich, with your money, I'm afraid you can't afford to open such three shops in three lifetimes, right? Lu Jin's tone slowly became calm, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, full of deterrence.

"I ...... Xia Guan ......, "Su Xu wanted to say something, but the few in front of him were the most direct witnesses, and they all called him the owner just now, and he knew better that since Jin Yiwei had made a move, he had naturally already figured everything out, so how could he deny it." Suddenly, his whole person collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball, and only after a long time did he say: "I am also forced to be helpless, and I still hope that Lord Lu will see it." ”

Obviously, this speech has broken through the other party's psychological defense line in one fell swoop, Lu Zhen waved his hand and ordered someone to take these shopkeepers down, and then stared at Su Xu and said: "I know, you only played a leading role in impeachment in this matter, and you are not the person behind the scenes at all, and several adults in the court have already benefited from this case." Compared to the benefits they get, your three shops are not worth mentioning at all. I'm right, right? ”

"Positive...... Precisely. Su Xu no longer had the slightest intention of denying, so he immediately nodded and admitted: "Originally, they said that I would be able to work as an errand in the household department at this opportunity, but it turned out to be a change later, so I gave these shops to Xiaguan as compensation." ”

"It's not compensation, it's just to pull you into the water, so as to completely eliminate future troubles. But you should be glad that you are lucky, at least they are just trying to pull you into the water, but they don't think to kill you. ”

Su Xu was taken aback by this, his body shook again, and Lu Zhen continued: "Do you know what happened to Wan Xie in the end? ”

"Didn't he get all over the house, and then he was sent to Guizhou?"

"This is just the result announced by the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, in fact, after he entered Guizhou, he died of illness due to water and soil adaptation. Of course, it is unknown whether his illness is true or not. ”

The words killing people quickly emerged from Su Xu's mind, which made him shudder again, and his face was full of panic: "What...... How so? ”

"Because those people were plotting to rob his property and were worried that the matter would leak out, they came up with such a trick." Lu Zhen sneered and explained: "Now that you are taken down by my Jinyiwei, of course, you can only bear your own crimes, as long as you can support our Jinyiwei's means, at most you will be convicted of corruption and then sent to the border." But in this way, whether those people will let you go, it is difficult for the official to guess. ”

At this time, not to mention that Su Xu knew that he would definitely not be able to withstand the torture in Jinyiwei, even if he could, it would be impossible to help those people bear such a serious crime. So without too much entanglement, he said: "I'll recruit, as long as it is everything that the lower official knows, I am willing to recruit, I just ask Lord Lu to spare the lower official......"

"It's natural, and I'm counting on you to testify against those insatiable court officials. As long as you tell the truth, it is enough to atone for the crime, and at most you will take away your official body, and you will definitely not want your life. Hearing the other party's promise to confess, Lu Jin's heart was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth curled.

The next thing is easy to do, as long as the secretary of the Zhenfu Division comes in, listens to Su Xu's confession and records it, and finally has him sign and draw it.

It's just that after listening to him tell the truth, the Jinyi guards who were listening were still a little shocked: "It has been rumored outside that our Jinyi guards are greedy and cruel, but compared with those civil officials who eat people and don't spit out bones, we are much kinder." ”

"Yes. I really didn't expect these good-looking guys to do such a thing behind their backs! ”

"The governor is really a good method, this is much more powerful than us directly using torture to deal with those court officials, with these, see how they explain!"

As he spoke, everyone looked at Lu Zhen with admiration, and then they knew how powerful this new commander was, and how naïve he had done before in comparison.

is still the same sentence, in terms of means and fighting thoughts, military attachés are really more than a step worse than civilian officials......
