Zhu Youxiao first called Wei Zhongxian and asked, "Dongchang supervised Jinyiwei to raid Zhangjiakou Fort, what is the result?" ”

Wei Zhongxian replied: "Tu Wenfu came back last time and said that Jinyiwei performed very well during the raid, Tian Ergeng was very strict, and he didn't find any cases of filling his pockets. ”

Zhu Youxiao paused and said, "How much filial piety did Tu Wenfu give you?" ”

Wei Zhongxian immediately knelt on the ground: "Shengshang Mingcha, Tu Wenfu didn't give any filial piety to the slave and maid, and after he came back, the slave and maid just asked him about the situation of supervision, and they never met again." ”

Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Really? Governor Wei, Tu Wenfu is from your Dongchang, can he not give you filial piety? "Throw the ICAC report on him.

Although Wei Zhongxian's education is not high, he can recognize the words on this report, he glanced at it hastily, put it down and began to kowtow: "Shengshang, the slave and maid really didn't get any benefits, the slave and maid have always believed in Tu Wenfu, I didn't expect him to dare to deceive the saint, please let the slave and maid beat him to death with his own hands." ”

"Oh, do you want to kill him with your own hands? Do you remember what I told you when I gave you the name? Li Jinzhong, you have disappointed me too much.

Wei Zhongxian was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, Zhu Youxiao began to call him Li Jinzhong, it can be seen that he was extremely disappointed in him, and he hated Tu Wenfu to death in his heart, give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, you do such a thing for Lao Tzu, it doesn't matter if you die, how can it be good to affect Lao Tzu.

So he began to kowtow again: "Shengshang, if it is found out that Tu Wenfu's matter has something to do with the slave maid, please ask the saint to punish the slave and maid of the nine clans, the slave and maid really don't know anything about it." Please send someone to investigate this matter and return the slave and maid to innocence. “

Seeing him acting like this, Zhu Youxiao was a little puzzled, did this guy really not know? So the decree was issued: Zhang Cheng and Liu Jingwen were ordered to try the case of embezzlement in Zhangjiakou Fort, and Yang Guanggao, the guard, was dispatched to assist in the arrest and seizure, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang were not allowed to participate in any of these matters.

Although this arrangement was obviously not believing Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief. Soon Yang Guanggao led the guards to seal the house of Tu Wenfu and Tian Ergeng, and arrested the two to the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

This is the first public hearing by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and everyone is nervous and excited. Zhang Cheng and Liu Jingwen sat behind the big case, and Zhang Cheng shouted, "Bring Tu Wenfu up." “

Tu Wenfu was brought up with shackles, and as soon as he came to the court, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "My lord, spare your life." “

Zhang Cheng said with a pleasant face: "Give Grandpa Tu a seat." "Immediately

The person took a bench up, Tu Wenfu's face was happy, it seemed that the factory had arrived here, and his heart was a little calmer.

Liu Jingwen said: "Come on, serve tea to Grandpa Tu." "Tu Wenfu was a little frightened, I hadn't heard that the prisoner could drink tea in the lobby, it seems that Mrs. Fengsheng has come to help me speak. He didn't understand that Zhu Youxiao said last time that the Independent Commission Against Corruption was going to find corrupt officials to drink tea to assist in the investigation, but Zhang Cheng and the others listened to it, so it was stipulated that the prisoners who entered the Independent Commission Against Corruption had the right to drink tea. And this misunderstanding now makes Tu Wenfu also misunderstand.

After Tu Wenfu drank tea, Liu Jingwen asked with a smile: "I am ordered to ask Father-in-law Tu a few words, please ask Father-in-law to think carefully, confirm that there will be no mistakes and omissions before answering, and promise that what you say is the truth, otherwise the official law is like a furnace, but it doesn't matter what kind of iron you are." “

Tu Wenfu listened to it, and was even more sure that someone above had greeted him, so he nodded and said: "The Sprinkle family naturally knows everything and says everything. “

Liu Jingwen said: "Okay! Then he flipped through the file and asked, "This time, I went to raid the eight collaborators in Zhangjiakou Fort, and how much did you get in silver?" “

"A total of 64 million taels of silver."

"In this raid, Jin Yiwei commanded Tian Ergeng, but there was a situation of filling his pockets."

Tu Wenfu groaned and said: "There is indeed a situation of filling his own pockets, the Sprinkle family once reminded him, but he didn't listen to the Sprinkle family's dissuasion. “

"Did Father-in-law Tu ever report Tian Ergeng's corruption to the factory father?"

"Before the Sprinkle family had time to report to the factory official, it was brought here by your ministry, and the Sprinkle family is ready to report to the factory public tomorrow."

"Do you know how many taels of silver Tian Ergeng embezzled in total?"

"There are ten carts in total, which should be equivalent to more than one million taels of silver."

Liu Jingwen smiled: "Then how many cars does Grandpa Tu have?" “

Tu Wenfu felt that something was wrong, didn't the factory man greet Mrs. Fengsheng, how could he ask how many cars he had? So he replied vaguely: "The little one wants to give some filial piety to the factory and Mrs. Fengsheng, so I also took a little, which is all for the factory and Mrs. Fengsheng, and I don't have one or two." “

Zhang Cheng saw that Mrs. Fengsheng was involved, and asked quietly: "You pay filial piety to the factory and Mrs. Fengsheng, they know." “

Tu Wenfu didn't dare to lie, so he replied: "This is a small little bit of filial piety, and it hasn't been offered yet." “

Zhang Cheng said angrily: "I asked you if they knew what circle you were going around, and answered directly!" “

"The factory duke and Mrs. Fengsheng don't know, but the small one is to be given to the two, not the villain himself."

Zhang Cheng sighed in disappointment and shouted, "Take him down first." Bring the fields up. “

Liu Jingwen glanced at him worriedly, patted his hand lightly with his hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, the emperor said, justice is the most important." “

Zhang Cheng glanced at him gratefully: "It's okay, Brother Liu, be careful, don't worry about me being guilty." “

As soon as Tian Ergeng came in, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, calling it a "capital crime", and he didn't dare to sit, kneeling with a snot and tears on his face, he cried that he had betrayed the trust of the emperor and the cultivation of the factory father, and had not withstood Tu Wenfu's bewitchment, and took something that should not have been taken, please kill yourself quickly to set an example for future generations.

Liu Jingwen appreciates this attitude very much, since something has happened, it is smartest to explain honestly. So he asked, "How much money have you embezzled?" “

Tian Ergeng said: "A total of thirty carts were pulled, and the specific number is not very clear, it should be more than one million taels." “

"You pull so many cars, does Tu Wenfu know?"

"Father-in-law Tu asked me to pull ten carts to send some hard-earned money to my brothers below, and I was confused for a while and pulled thirty carts. He thought I only had ten cars. “

"Can you give the money you embezzled to other officials?"

"No, it was supposed to be sent to the factory and Commander Luo, but it was too late to send it."

"You went to check it, and someone hinted to you that you should keep some money for yourself?"

"No, I was confused as soon as I heard my father-in-law say it, so I was greedy, and I couldn't suppress it for a while, but I wanted to die quickly, and it had nothing to do with others."
