Chapter 332: Huainan Journey (13)
Luo Yi read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Huainan Jiedu envoy Wu Zhengwen, colluded with salt merchants, tax evasion, unforgivable crimes, Qin sent Luo Yi, escorted Wu Zhengwen into Beijing, interrogated by the Criminal Department, Qin this!" ”
"No, I don't believe it, it's fake!"
Wu Zhengwen got up and yelled as if he was crazy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After reading it, Luo Yi looked at Wu Zhengwen and said with a smile: "Do you think I really want to go along with you?" Benhou has a drunken immortal residence, a drunken immortal wine, and a daily income, so why don't you have these ill-gotten gains. ”
"This holy decree is covered with a jade seal, do you see it, is it true or false?"
Luo Yi shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't take down this traitor." ”
"Yes." More than a dozen soldiers immediately stepped forward, and two of them took out ropes and tied Wu Zhengwen up.
Wu Chong watched from the sidelines, his heart was already happy, he was worried before, Luo Yi was afraid of Wu Zhengwen, but he was afraid that he didn't dare to do it, but now that he looks, Luo Yi has already prepared.
Tying up Wu Zhengwen, Luo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wu Chong, Wu Zhengwen, the old thief, will be handed over to you, interrogated overnight, be sure to get all the testimony! Although the emperor said that he would be handed over to the Criminal Department for interrogation, I was afraid that the people of the Criminal Department would protect each other, so we had to take the first step to confirm his criminal responsibility. ”
Luo Yi patted Wu Chong's shoulder, pulled Wu Zhengwen aside, and whispered: "Lord Wu, don't worry, as long as you get all the confessions and don't go along with Wu Zhengwen, I promise that I can speak to the emperor and make you the envoy of the Huainan Festival." ”
"Really... It's true? ”
"When did I lie to you?"
Wu Chong's expression was excited, and he hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you Lord Hou, thank you Lord Qincha, in the future, the next official must obey the orders of the adults, and he must be..." ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk about these useless things, let's handle the case well."
Luo Yi hurriedly held him up.
Turning around, Luo Yi looked at Wu Zhengwen and said: "Wu Zhengwen, I already have the evidence of your guilt, don't be lucky, it's better to recruit it early, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin." ”
Wu Chong took Wu Zhengwen down and imprisoned him in the prison of the State Chamber of Commerce. Luo Yi said that if he was going to be interrogated overnight, of course he would stay up late, but Luo Yi had already made a guarantee, Wu Chong saw hope, not to mention staying up all night, even if he stayed up ten nights, it was worth it.
"Big brother, do you believe in Wu Chong so much?"
After everyone left, Zhao Wenxian asked.
Luo Yi smiled: "How can I not believe it, he is different from Wu Zhengwen, Wu Zhengwen has been a festival envoy for many years, deep-rooted, and has long colluded with salt merchants, and Wu Chong, he is a newcomer, he has only been a few months since he was a long history, even if he wants to embezzle, he has no time, so, I believe that he is innocent, if he wants to climb up, he will kill Wu Zhengwen, I think he will definitely do his best." ”
"Look, it won't take one night, Wu Zhengwen will do anything."
Zhao Wenxian said happily: "Then I'll go and get ready, and I will go to raid Wu Zhengwen's house early tomorrow morning, he is very rich." I will definitely be able to make a ruthless stroke. ”
Luo Yi smiled: "It depends on Wu Chong, if you can ask where Wu Zhengwen hides the silver, then it's done, if you can't ask, then..." ”
"I'm sure I'll be able to ask!" Zhao Wenxian snorted coldly: "I'll personally supervise it tonight, I'm not afraid that he won't say it." ”
Luo Yi smiled: "Okay, then you will have to work." ”
"I've been busy for several nights, and I'm tired to death, I'll go back to sleep first, and you and Wu Chong will interrogate slowly."
As soon as Luo Yi left, Zhao Wenxian went to prison and worked with Wu Chong to jointly interrogate Wu Zhengwen...
.............
Early the next morning, Wu Chong beat Hatche, and together with Zhao Wenxian, waited in front of Luo Yi's door. As soon as Luo Yi got up, the two walked over.
"Master Hou (big brother)."
"How's it going to be done so early?" Luo Yi stretched.
Wu Chong laughed and said: "Then Wu Zhengwen is really a soft bone, as soon as I took out the torture instrument, I only whipped a few times, and I recruited everything." ”
Luo Yixi said: "Can you ask where he hid the silver?" ”
Zhao Wenxian said: "It has been found out that in his hometown of Axe Yue City, which is hidden in three courtyards, we have obtained all the addresses, and we have also confirmed the evidence of his crime." ”
"Okay."
Luo Yi said: "Although Wu Zhengwen holds the power of the army, but now in our hands, we can't make any waves; Wu Chong, you immediately send someone to the Huainan army, tell the garrison there that Wu Zhengwen stole the treasury silver, collected taxes and bribes, and connived at Huainan officials and salt merchants to evade taxes. ”
"Wenxian, let's go to Axe Yue City immediately, copy Wu Zhengwen's home, and escort Wu Zhengwen back to Chang'an."
Wu Chongxi said: "Yes." ”
However, Zhao Wenxian waved his hand again and again: "No, no, big brother, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple...." ”
"What's going on?"
Zhao Wenxian said: "According to Wu Zhengwen's confession, this time he stole the treasury silver, which was provoked by two businessmen, one is called Wu You, and the other is called Lei Sihai, the former is unknown, and he is a wealthy businessman who has only risen in recent years, and the latter is the famous shopkeeper of Sihaiju in Chang'an, but now there is no Sihaiju, and the two of them jointly set up a business to sell drunken immortal wine. ”
"What a daredevil."
Luo Yi said angrily: "Since Ben Qincha was ordered to investigate the matter of the treasury and silver, he has the right to arrest the people involved in the case, Wen Xian, immediately lead people to seize the restaurant opened by Wu You and Lei Sihai in Yangzhou, and send a letter to Wang Shilin of Chang'an County, asking him to quickly send someone to arrest Wu You and Lei Sihai, and then interrogate them after I return to Chang'an." ”
"Yes."
Listening to the two singing and harmonizing, Wu Chong instantly understood that the so-called Wu You and Lei Sihai were definitely innocently implicated in the case, he remembered that during the interrogation last night, Zhao Wenxian repeatedly asked Wu Zhengwen to confess that it was Wu You and Lei Sihai who instigated it, he didn't know what was going on at the time, but now he finally understood.
Just imagine, Wu You and Lei Sihai, even if they have made great achievements in the business world, they are just small businessmen, how can they have anything to do with Wu Zhengwen, who holds military power.
Wu Chong guessed that Luo Yi must have wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate business enemies, because Wu You and Lei Sihai would brew drunken immortal wine, which made Luo Yi's drunken immortal wine business very passive.
"Lord Wu Chong, you can do it too, this matter cannot be delayed, it is better to do it as soon as possible, let's leave together."
Wu Chong reacted and said: "I just don't know, when I send the news to the Huainan military camp, will those old departments of Wu Zhengwen rebel, or come to rob Wu Zhengwen?" ”
"No, you can rest assured."
"Yes."
At this time, only a fool will save Wu Zhengwen, Luo Yi doesn't believe that there will be that kind of outlaw in the world.
