Chapter 351: Releasing Water to Raise Fish
The three sessions inside also did not go well, Liao Bingxun gritted his teeth, and he didn't say anything about beating him to death, no matter how Cao Delin and others scared him, he resolutely refused to admit that he knew the two missing officials, let alone invited them to come to the house as guests.
When the three members of the Salt Gang came out to testify, Liao Bingxun resolutely denied it, saying that these three people were deceived by others to frame the thieves of the border army, and shouted in court: The heart of the thief is trying to disturb the heart of our army, and it is not credible!
The scene was a little chaotic, and the people below began to whisper, Cao Delin looked at the situation, with a question in his eyes, meaning that it was time to use torture?
Besides, he shook his head slightly, and then smiled downward: "General Liao, I don't know what you are involved in, but I am not interested in your affairs, let alone what I want to do to you, we are just the most concerned about the whereabouts of the two colleagues, as long as you tell the truth, no matter what you are involved in, I will pardon all your mistakes with the power in the hands of Ben Qincha, at most I can dismiss the official and return to my hometown." β
Everyone was stunned, besides, this is a big package, he has the right to come in person, and he does have the right to amnesty, but in this way, he will inevitably face the emperor's punishment after returning to Beijing, is your kid using his power too much?
Everyone's hearts were hot, and they thought that they didn't care about the missing officials, but now it seems that he would rather be responsible than find out the whereabouts of these two people. For Liao Bingxun, this can be regarded as a good opportunity, as long as he speaks out, all sins will be forgiven, of course, it is not nothing, at most, it is just dismissal.
Moreover, the words spoken in court are officially recorded, and it is impossible to deny them.
Unexpectedly, Liao Bingxun still bit his mouth and resolutely refused to admit it.
Moreover, he signaled to Cao Delin and the others to temporarily suspend the interrogation.
After discussing with several presiding judges, Cao Delin announced that he would temporarily suspend the trial and continue the trial tomorrow.
The four guards took Liao Bingxun to a basement and locked him up, confiscated his waist knife, belt and other belongings, fearing that he would commit suicide in fear of sin, and there were two guards around him who watched him at all times to prevent him from making any abnormal movements.
"It seems that we still need a breakthrough, otherwise we can't do anything if he denies it completely."
In the court, he muttered.
"Lord Qincha, just use the torture directly, don't worry that he won't tell the truth." Cao Delin was angry and slapped the table.
Besides, he said with a smile: "This is a border pass, and Liao Bingxun is a general of the border army, and he will be given a handle by torture." If he survives the torture, every scar on his body at that time will be his glory and evidence of our misuse of torture. β
Gavin Tiger said: "We are using torture normally, and we are not abusing torture, these are two different things. β
Besides: "It's true that they are two different things, but if you let people with ulterior motives render it, it's a different thing." β
Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi were watching from the sidelines, and they couldn't help nodding slightly at this time, they couldn't see that this young man was so delicate and meticulous, and he was by no means the kind of embroidered pillow that was lucky and proud.
Cui Zhongyong sighed: "It's a pity that we don't know much about the two rich adults, and we don't know much about this Liao Bingxun, and I don't know what kind of friendship they have, how they met, etc., as soon as this guy denies it, we don't have any tricks at all." β
Besides, he said: "The breakthrough I said is here, we must first find out whether the two rich adults and Liao Bingxun are friends, how they met, and other background information, as well as the two adults as soon as they come here, they immediately went to visit Liao Bingxun, whether it is to visit friends or other reasons, these are all things that should be investigated first." β
Cao Delin said to a man in the ministry: "Do you have a detailed resume for every official, including the military attachΓ©?" I guess I think there's something to write down. β
This Lang Zhong smiled bitterly: "No matter how detailed the resume is, it is just a place of origin, life, and where he has served, and his friends and friendships will not be recorded in it." β
Governor Wang Chonggu sighed: "Lord Fu, they mainly serve in Beijing, if you want to start from them, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in a short time, let's check from Vice General Liao, I can find a way to ask his colleagues and subordinates, to see if they can find out from them the clues of the connection between Vice General Liao and Lord Fu, whether they know each other, whether they have friendships, etc." β
Moreover, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Todo." β
Wang Chonggu smiled bitterly: "Xie doesn't have to, this is also the duty of this official, and I also hope that this matter will be resolved quickly, otherwise after a long time, the border army will have a big mess." β
Xu Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry snorted: "Big mess? Can the border army still dare to rebel? β
"It's not enough to rebel, but if they make a noise or even a mutiny, it will be unimaginable." Wang Chonggu said worriedly.
Xu Langzhong said angrily: "It's all you feudal officials who are governors who are used to them, and they can't wait to go to heaven one by one." β
Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi smiled bitterly, this was to scold both of them.
However, people who are Beijing officials do not know the hardships of being officials in other provinces, and the officials of the feudal provinces naturally also have the troubles of the officials of the feudal provinces, of course, the battles in the court of the capital are more complex and intense, relatively speaking, the officialdom of the provinces is relatively calm.
"By the way, doesn't it mean that these generals are the third grandsons in your military department? If they dare to make trouble, go and clean them up. Xu Langzhong said to the two officials of the Ministry of War.
A man from the Ministry of War said with a smile: "If they are in the Ministry of War, they are not even the third grandson, they are the third grandson of the third grandson, that is what they ask us for, and now we are on other people's land, and we have become the third grandson." β
Everyone laughed, everyone knows how angry the military attache is in the military department, it is really not even a servant, and the generals of the second and third grades are called and drunk by the officials of the military department of the fifth and sixth grades, and they have to smile on their faces, although they are bitter smiles, or they are not smiling.
But it's really as this Lang Zhong said, it was only in the military department, and it was only when the generals asked the officials of the military department, and now people don't ask them for anything, and they are in the territory of the border army, and they can't say who the third grandson is.
If the officials of the military department were to be used everywhere, there would not be so many cases of mutiny in the officers and soldiers. Dreaming.
Wang Chonggu said with a smile: "With Lord Qincha pressing the formation here, who dares to treat you as the third grandson?" It's impossible. However, I hope that you will work hard in the past two days and solve this matter properly. β
Besides, he said with a smile: "Although Wang Dutang can rest assured, he will never cause a lot of trouble and then clap his hands and leave." β
"This Liao Bingxun's son Liao Jingsheng is also an insider, do you want to arrest him and interrogate him together? Maybe it's a breakthrough. Cui Zhongyong said with a very cool official style.
"Let's not do it yet, Liao Jingsheng is already hiding in the barracks, and now entering the barracks to arrest people is adding fuel to the fire." Besides, I thought about it.
Of course, he wouldn't say that Liao Jingsheng was let go by him, and he still expected him to incite some people to make trouble.
"Then there are also his family and servants, all of them have been arrested, and his home should be searched to see if there is any evidence left." Cui Zhongyong said.
Cao Delin and the others looked at Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi and asked their opinions, after all, this is in Datong, and they are not really ordered to handle the case, so they still have to respect the opinions of the local officials.
Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi couldn't decide, if it was according to what Cui Zhongyong said, it would almost be a raid, and the news spread, and the border army couldn't make trouble if they wanted to.
"Wait a little longer, tomorrow I will ask Wang Dutang to do a good job as a border general, so that they can understand the reason why we are doing this, and I hope they can understand. It would be better if they were willing to persuade Liao Bingxun to confess. β
Wang Chonggu's heart trembled, and besides, he was tied up again.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, the lower officials will go to the barracks tomorrow to talk to General Li and those generals." β
He can't hide from this matter even if he wants to, and even if he favors the border army, it is useless for him to be biased.
Everyone gossiped for a while, it was already night, and after the public case was removed, a dinner party was held here, but there were not many people who had the heart to drink.
After dinner, I went back to my study.
"Give me the man, make sure he confesses, and let him taste what it's like for me to be divided." Zhou Dingcheng was making records on the side before, but he was so angry that he wanted to be the executioner himself.
"Forget it, there are many ways to make him confess, don't use it for the time being, let's not rush to meddle in this matter first, but try to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department solve it, so that no one will gossip after that." Besides.
"This is not your style, are you really afraid that those grandsons of the border army will make trouble?" Zhou Dingcheng did not believe.
"How can you speak, the border army is also a glorious army, and you can't become a grandson just because you have a few corrupt generals. They have guarded the border for many years, worked hard and made great achievements, and have made meritorious contributions to national security. Besides, he said with a calm face.
"I'm talking about those corrupt generals." Zhou Dingcheng smiled and said in his heart: I also talked about the big truth one by one.
"Of course I'm not afraid of them, I'm not afraid of them making trouble, I'm afraid they won't make trouble. Those adults are right, some arrogant soldiers are used to it. Besides.
He called Ji Chang again: "Send Liao Bingxun good wine and meat, and don't treat him badly in person." You are also a military attachΓ©, talk to him well. β
Ji Chang said with a smile: "He will welcome wine and meat, but it may not be possible to talk about it." He doesn't treat his subordinates as military attachΓ©s, but as evil brocade guards. β
And smile bitterly; "Are we Jinyi so hateful?"
Ji Chang also smiled: "It's about the same." β
Besides, he smiled bitterly, once upon a time, he was one of the four talents that everyone in Jiangnan was obsessed with and loved, but now he has become the most hateful person in the country, where is this really reasonable.
Moreover, he invited Xiaojun over again and asked directly: "Do you know how to read minds?" β
Xiao Jun was surprised: "What is mind reading?" β
Moreover, he patiently explained: "Mind reading is not a thing, but a special function, just like your hand can directly read what is going on in a person's mind." β
Xiao Jun said disdainfully: "Does this still need to be explained?" You think I don't understand, but I don't. β
Besides, he was so angry that he almost went up and kicked him directly, and he still had the heart to tease and amuse.
"Then do you have a way to get Liao Bingxun's true confession? Whatever the modus operandi. Besides, he asked.
