At night, Zhao Wenxian came back from the cell and saw Luo Yi and Lanni drinking tea in the hall, and couldn't help laughing: "That Niu Yanjin is really a hard bone, it's like this, and he still refuses to nod." ”

Luo Yi asked, "You told him everything?" ”

"Nope."

Zhao Wenxian said: "I just asked him if the person who instructed him to steal the treasury silver was Wu Zhengwen, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu." ”

"What did he say?"

Zhao Wenxian shook his head and said: "He is really an honest man, he doesn't say anything when he dies, and he also says that he doesn't know anything." ”

Lanny said: "Big brother, I think that Niu Yanjin really doesn't know anything, or let him go." ”

"You know what, hurry up and go to bed."

Luo Yi got up and found two soldiers and said, "Take the young lady back." ”

"Yes."

"Hmph."

Lanny snorted and followed the soldier out of the hall.

Luo Yi said: "Wenxian, you can't let Lanny know at this time, she is still young and doesn't understand anything." ”

"I know, in front of her, I didn't say half a word."

Both of them sat down, Luo Yi thought about it, for Niu Yanjin, I am afraid that he can no longer use hard, if he comes hard, it is estimated that even if Niu Yanjin is killed, he will not get the result he wants.

"Does Niu Yanjin have any family?"

Luo Yi said: "If you arrest his family, it's annoying to force him." It's best to get the tokens of his relatives, and then get Niu Yanjin, I believe... As long as he doesn't want his loved ones to suffer, he will let go. ”

"Hehe... What a great idea. ”

Zhao Wenxian said happily: "Then I'll do it now." ”

"As long as Niu Yanjin is relieved, then Wu Zhengwen won't be able to run..."

"Hmph... This time, the salt merchants in Huainan are afraid that they are going to pour a large piece, and without Wu Zhengwen's support, I see which one dares to hold on. The last time I didn't find out the salt tax in Huainan, this time we must not let it go. ”

.............

The next day, Wu Chong arrived as promised and asked if he could open the hall again.

To be honest, when the case has developed to this point, he is more anxious than Luo Yi; Luo Yi is the Hou Ye, he is the Qin Cha, and when the case is finished, he pats his ass and leaves, but he can't, he is the governor of Yangzhou, and as soon as Luo Yi leaves, then he interrogates Niu Yanjin, for fear that he will be hated by Wu Zhengwen, at that time, he can't imagine what the consequences will be; Therefore, he desperately wanted to know, who was behind Niu Yanjin, if it was Wu Zhengwen, then there would be a good show, Luo Yi could pull Wu Zhengwen into the water, then he would have no worries.

It's a pity that when he arrived at the mansion, the soldiers guarding the gate of the mansion said: "Our Hou Ye didn't go to sleep until dawn, and he said before going to bed that he would not try the case today." ”

After receiving such an answer, Wu Chong was a little disappointed and returned to Yangzhou Mansion in a gloomy manner.

The next day, he came again, still the same as the first day, Luo Yi slept at dawn, and he couldn't try the case.

Day 3...

Day 4...

It wasn't until the fifth day that a small incident happened in the State Commercial Academy, and a few black-clothed people who didn't know how to die actually ran to the cell to rob the prison, and were taken down by the soldiers guarding the cell and detained.

At the time of the robbery, there were not many people, at most twenty men in black, compared with the people under Zhao Wenxian, it was not enough to see directly, and the leader was more powerful, but it was a coincidence that he was run into by the idle Lannie, and with the cooperation of other soldiers, the general was subdued.

After Lannie joined the National Chamber of Commerce, she asked people to create a spear, which matched his height very well, so it was very easy to use, and he didn't lose the slightest advantage when he fought with the general.

"Anyone dares to rob a prison? Hehe... I didn't expect that. ”

Hearing Lanny's report, Luo Yi smiled and went to the cell.

Seeing the dozen or so black-clothed people who were arrested, Luo Yi stepped forward to take a look and asked, "Who are you?" Why rob prison? ”

No one answered...

Luo Yi glanced at Niu Yanjin in the cell next door, and then turned around and said, "Are you here to meet him?" Just Niu Yanjin? Are you the servants of the Temperance Envoys? ”

The leading general said: "Since I have been captured by you, I have nothing to say, I will kill if I want to, and if I want to frown, I am not a hero." ”

Luo Yi laughed, he really wanted to come to something, originally... Putting the charge on Wu Zhengwen's head seems a bit far-fetched, now it's okay, Wu Zhengwen Jingran is looking for death by himself and sending a killer to rob the prison, which can be completely understood that he is afraid that the matter will be revealed, so he came to kill people and kill people. If Niu Yanjin's false accusation can be added, then the crime will be confirmed directly, and it is best to get the testimony of more than a dozen people in front of him to prove that Wu Zhengwen sent them to rob the prison.

After Luo Yi laughed, he said to the soldiers next to him: "Come on, detain them separately, tie them all to the pillars, and wait for interrogation." ”

"Yes."

Luo Yi walked ahead and arrived at Niu Yanjin's cell.

To tell the truth, Luo Yi is really embarrassed, he is very upset, Niu Yanjin is an honest man, he doesn't know how to sand and famine, he doesn't deceive people, he has always acted according to orders, the last time he bulldozed the Black Wind Zhai cottage, Niu Yanjin had made a great contribution, enough to be named a general, but Luo Yi didn't report it, so Li Shimin didn't know about this general at all. Luo Yi is also selfish, Niu Yanjin killed You Sandao and destroyed the cottage, which made You Yan sad, of course Luo Yi wanted to vent his anger for You Yan. But now it seems that Niu Yanjin is also pitiful, he was not rewarded for his merits, and now he has been detained here again, and he has been beaten inexplicably.

Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that Niu Yanjin himself knows that he can't get out, and even if he goes out, he is a waste, and even his fingers are broken, how can he hold a gun.

"Hou... Master Hou, I... I really didn't... Didn't steal the treasury, you have to trust me. ”

Luo Yi took two steps forward, nodded, and said, "I believe in you." General Niu, we are also old friends, let me tell you the truth, it is the emperor who wants to clean up Huainan, and the border pass needs silver to fight, but the treasury is empty; Therefore, the emperor set his sights on the Huainan salt tax, and Wu Zhengwen evaded taxes and evaded taxes, resulting in an empty treasury and a heinous crime, and the emperor wanted to punish him. ”

Niu Yanjin said: "So, you... You just want me... Let me frame him, frame him for stealing the treasury silver? ”

"I didn't say that."

Luo Yi said: "What he stole was not only treasury silver, but the money of the people of Huainan went into his pocket, which was much more than the treasury silver." ”

"I just want to use this matter to arrest him; General Niu, as long as you stand up and identify Wu Zhengwen, I will ask for credit for you in front of the emperor.... ”

Niu Yanjin laughed miserably: "Please merit? Now... I'm like this, even if... Even if you go out, you're not a wasted person. ”

"If, if... I admit that I was influenced by Wu Zhengwen... Commanded, I'm not stealing too... Is it a heinous sin to steal the treasury silver, stealing the treasury silver, Lord Hou... You, don't lie to me, I won't admit it. ”

In other words, poor people must have something to hate, Luo Yi was still pitying Niu Yanjin just now, and thought about giving a way out, but now he doesn't have that kind of thought anymore.

Niu Yanjin is simply a cow, and no one can change his stubborn temper.

"Okay, then stay here, I can't help you."

Luo Yi sighed, turned around and left the cell.

At noon the next day, Zhao Wenxian returned.

Zhao Wenxian took two jade pendants to the National Commercial Academy, found Luo Yi, and showed Luo Yi the two jade pendants.

"What is this?" Luo Yi asked.

Zhao Wenxian sat down and took a sip of water: "Big brother, this is Niu Yanjin's wife, and his daughter is wearing it around his neck, according to his wife's explanation, there are three pieces of this jade pendant, and one is on Niu Yanjin's body; With these two jade pendants, Niu Yanjin will definitely be able to believe that his wife and children are in our hands. ”

Luo Yi nodded and said, "Okay, you can handle this matter." In any case, let him bow his head! ”

"Yes."
