Chapter 98: Extorting Confessions by Torture
Su Bingyan was slapped more than a dozen times, and his face was swollen like a pig's head. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Hai Rui didn't allow him to mention the three words Zhen Haibo, he is really dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say it if he suffers!
Su Bingyan could only kneel on the ground and shout wronged.
Hai Rui sneered: "Su Bingyan, look at what this is?" ”
Hai Rui showed him the receipt signed with Su Bingyan's name in front of him.
Su Bingyan said: "My lord, 90,000 taels of silver are indeed collected by the grass people. But twenty-eight thousand taels of it 。。。。。 ”
Su Bingyan originally wanted to say that 28,000 taels of it were for Chen Di. But when I think about it, if Chen Di is bitten out, it will be a big trouble. Fortunately, this seven-rank official just didn't know his relationship with Chen Di, so he arrested himself. As long as Chen Di, the envoy, says a word, he will be fine immediately!
Hai Rui returned to his seat and began to record Su Bingyan's confession: "How about 28,000 taels of it? ”
Su Bingyan said perfunctorily: "Of them, 28,000 taels are used to buy cotton cloth. ”
Hai Rui said: "Go on. ”
Su Bingyan replied: "My lord, the grass people, the grass people really have nothing to say!" ”
Hai Rui glared at Su Bingyan: "Nothing to say?" Okay, then the official will remind you. First of all, you first talk about how much money you have made with this batch of cotton clothes? ”
Su Bingyan replied dejectedly: "About 40,000 taels." ”
Hai Rui said angrily: "Good you profiteer! A total of 90,000 taels of silver, half of it was hacked by you! Who else is involved in this? ”
killed Su Bingyan, and he would not say that Chen Di was also involved. He replied: "There is also Liu Yuxi, the general cabinet of Chase Bank." He purchased the cotton wool. ”
Hai Rui recorded the confession and put it in front of Su Bingyan: "Su Bingyan, you colluded with Liu Yuxi, the general cabinet of Chase Bank, to make a shoddy confession and deceive the government here." See for yourself, and if you have no objections, draw a charge! ”
Su Bingyan thought to himself that if he didn't draw the charge, he would inevitably be slapped again. As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, so he simply draws a charge first, as long as someone finds Chen Di, then this matter will be over.
Su Bingyan said: "The grass people are willing to draw charges. ”
Hai Rui ordered someone to put the confession in front of Su Bingyan, and asked Su Bingyan to remove the rope that was tied. Su Bingyan took the pen and drew it.
Su Bingyan said: "My lord, the grass people have already drawn a charge. Is it possible to release grass people? ”
Hai Rui said: "You have committed such a serious crime, do you still want to go home and be your rich man?" ”
Su Bingyan retreated: "In this case, can I escort the grass people back to Hangzhou and let the people from the Hangzhou prefect or the political envoy Yamen interrogate me?" ”
Whether it is the prefect of Hangzhou or the political envoy Chen Di, they have all taken Su Bingyan's silver. As long as he can see these two people, Su Bingyan is confident that he can get away with it.
Hai Rui smiled: "Escort back to Hangzhou? Don't worry, this case is only half heard! It's not too late to escort you to Hangzhou after the trial! ”
Su Bingyan was very strange: "I have already drawn a charge on the confession, why do you say that this case is only half tried?" ”
Hai Rui sneered again: "You just confessed to conspiring with others to make shoddy cotton clothes to fool the Flying Tiger Army and fool the imperial court." You haven't confessed to the destruction of the embankment and flooding of the fields in the Xin'an River! ”
Su Bingyan was shocked. How could this seven-pin sesame official know about Xin'anjiang?
Hai Rui said: "Su Bingyan, how did you order someone to secretly dig up the Xin'an River embankment and destroy the embankment and flood the fields to make a profit? Don't recruit them one by one! ”
Destroying embankments and flooding fields is a much greater sin than getting a few fake cotton clothes to earn the imperial court's military salary! Su Bingyan couldn't figure out the details of Hai Rui, so he simply pretended to be dumb.
Hai Rui said: "If the official asks you, why don't you answer?" ”
Su Bingyan said: "The grass people don't know what you're talking about, so naturally they can't answer." ”
Hai Rui said: "Then the official will give you another wake-up!" The imperial court implemented the national policy of changing rice to mulberry in Zhejiang, and the land in Zhejiang was naturally more valuable! You coveted the land on both sides of the Xin'an River and sent people to secretly dig up the Xin'an River embankment! After the levee burst, the flood washed away the fertile fields on both sides of the Xin'an River, and you take the opportunity to buy these damaged fields at a low price! Is this official right? ”
Su Bingyan's head shook like a rattle: "What the adults said, the grass people haven't even heard of it!" ”
Hai Rui said: "Left and right, come on, palm mouth!" ”
The two soldiers slapped Su Bingyan hundreds of times in one go, but Su Bingyan still gritted his teeth and refused to admit his guilt. Destroying embankments and flooding fields is a great crime for the Nine Clans! Once confessed, even Yan Song and Chen Di may not necessarily speak for him!
Su Bingyan pretended to be dumb again, and Hai Rui had no way to deal with him for a while.
Hai Rui was helpless and returned to the Chinese army's big tent to report to Chen Di. He handed the confession to Chen Di and said, "My lord, Su Bingyan has already confessed to the matter of cheating the imperial court of military salaries with shoddy goods!" He didn't talk about destroying the embankment and flooding the fields! ”
Chen Di asked: "Since the prisoner refuses to confess to the crime, Brother Gangfeng, you can use torture!" ”
Hai Rui replied: "The subordinate has ordered the left and right sergeants to slap him hundreds of mouths!" ”
Chen Di shook his head: "Brother Gangfeng, what you are doing as an official is still too good!" To deal with such a great traitor, a great punishment must be used! ”
Hai Rui said: "In the Da Ming Law, there are strict regulations on the use of big punishments! There is a saying that ten on ten is not up。。。。。。 ”
Chen Di said: "Brother Gangfeng, when Su Bingyan sent people to work on the Xin'an River embankment, did he think of Da Ming Law? The flood washed away the fertile land on both sides of the river, and hundreds of people were displaced. I have been to the disaster area of Jianning Province, and you have also been there. Think of the people whose homes were ruined! The reason why those victims have fallen to this step is all because of Su Bingyan! ”
Hai Rui was touched by Chen Di's words. In Hai Jui's heart, the people always come first. This Su Bingyan is a great traitor, and he treats the people of Li as mustard, and he Hai Ruihai Gangfeng is angry from his heart.
Hai Rui said to Chen Di: "My lord, the lower officials will go and punish Su Bingyan!" ”
Su Bingyan has been rich for half a lifetime, where has he eaten a big punishment! The major punishment is not the same as the fanning of the ear melon, there are eight types of main punishment alone, and there are eight types of auxiliary punishment. As soon as he received two main punishments, Su Bingyan couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to ask for an explanation of the destruction of the embankment and flooding the fields.
Su Bingyan pleaded guilty, but did not bite out Fuxing Commercial Bank and Chen Di. He knew that now only Chen Di, the political envoy of Zhejiang, could help him! If you bite out Chen Di, you will have cut off your own life!
Chen Di knew that Su Bingyan was a smart person and would not bite out the revival firm and himself. So he boldly asked Hai Rui to give Su Bingyan a big punishment.
Hai Rui wrote the confession, and Su Bingyan drew the charge again.
Hai Rui said: "It is understandable that businessmen are heavy on profits, but you are a villain who is bold for the sake of profit and regards human life as a mustard, but it is difficult to find in the world!" Come on, escort him back to the Yamen of the political envoy in Hangzhou, and wait for Lord Chen's fate! ”
