Chapter 324: Huainan Journey (5)
"Come on, get on the steel needle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
As soon as the steel needle was taken out, the prisoners in the courtyard were all shocked, they had already seen this thing, when Wu Chong was in the Yangzhou Mansion prison, he took this thing out and stunned several people.
Everyone knows that this thing is too powerful for anyone to bear.
"My lord, my lord, I said..."
Suddenly, just as everyone was executing, a soldier in the courtyard raised his hand and shouted.
Luo Yi was drinking tea nervously, and when he heard this voice, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the soldier, and said after a long time: "Okay, bring him in." ā
Two soldiers stepped forward and escorted the prisoner into the hall.
Luo Yi asked, "What did you see on the day of the crime?" ā
After the prisoner knelt down, he said: "Back to my lord, that day the little one saw a group of black-clothed men enter the treasury, stunned the soldiers guarding the treasury with smoke, and then transferred all the silver out, and no one saw it at that time when he came out of the back door, only the little one got up and relieved himself, and saw this group of people, and the little one secretly followed, and after they transferred all the silver out, one of the black-clothed men tore off the black cloth on his face, and the little one saw his face. ā
Luo Yi asked, "Then why didn't you shout loudly at that time?" ā
"Little... The little ones are scared, so.... ā
One of the officials who was listening stood up excitedly and asked, "Then do you remember the face of the man in black?" ā
The prisoner returned: "The little one remembers. He was eight feet tall, with a beard, a Chinese face, and was around thirty years old.... The soldier crackled and said a lot, and a strange face came to everyone's mind.
However, this face was very unfamiliar, and no one knew who it was.
"Come on, go and invite the Yang painter."
Luo Yi looked at the official who was listening and asked, "Who is this Yang painter?" ā
The official said: "Lord Hui Qincha, he is a guest in the lower official mansion, and the portrait he painted is extremely realistic, as long as you can say three points of portrait, he can draw seven points, which is really a rare talent." ā
Things seemed to be a little out of control, and Luo Yi was secretly stunned in his heart...
This matter is clear to him, he asked the people in Yangzhou to do it, if anyone really sees it, the person who depicts it must be an insider of the State Chamber of Commerce.
What if it was actually drawn?
Soon, the Yang painter in the official's mouth came to the court, and it was already dark at this time, Luo Yi asked people to light the lamp, and the case continued.
According to the prisoner's description, the Yang painter drew the ethereal person, and a picture was presented to everyone.
Luo Yi fixed his eyes and saw that the big stone in his heart was put down a lot, and the Yang painter painted it was not a person from the National Academy of Commerce, maybe others didn't know him, but Luo Yi did know it, and he did things with that person.
But Luo Yi didn't understand, why did the prisoner say it was him?
"Do you know this man?"
Luo Yi looked at the three officials next to him.
The three of them all shook their heads: "I don't know, I don't know..." ā
Luo Yi showed it to the others in the courtyard again, everyone shook their heads, Luo Yi smiled and said, "I know this person." ā
"Oh? Does Lord Chincha know his name, and where is he now? ā
Luo Yi smiled and said: "This person is a general under the command of the Huainan Jiedu Envoy, named Niu Yanjin, who once came to Yangzhou and assisted Benqin in handling the case. ā
Wu Chong frowned and said, "It turned out to be the person who made the festival degree, this..." ā
Wu Chong is the best at observing words and colors, and Luo Yi's current expression is obviously very satisfied with this answer, and there is no discomfort.
Wu Chongshun pushed the boat and said: "It's not a secret, the lower officials also interrogated these prisoners a few days ago, and some of them revealed that someone did secretly transfer out the silver taels that night and transferred them out of the back door... It seems that what the prisoner said was true. ā
Another official said: "Since it is the person who is the envoy of the festival, shall we arrest it or not?" ā
"Of course you have to catch it!"
Luo Yi returned to his seat and sat down, and said: "Before leaving Chang'an, the emperor said that no matter who it is, even if it is a relative of the emperor, as long as he commits a crime, he will be punished for the crime. ā
"Someone's coming."
Zhao Wenxian stood up from the side.
Luo Yi took the sword behind his back in his hand, handed it to Zhao Wenxian, and said: "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the Huainan border with the sword of Shang Fang, and press Niu Yanjin in the barracks to arrest him." ā
"Yes."
Zhao Wenxian took the sword and won the way.
Luo Yi instructed the soldiers to press down all the prisoners kneeling in the hall and in the courtyard, then got up and looked at Wu Chongdao: "The case has been interrogated clearly, and if you want to know the case later, you have to wait for Niu Yanjin to arrive before you can interrogate it." ā
"Ladies and gentlemen, please go back and rest first, and then you will come back to the hall when you ask the case next time."
After a few pleasantries, the three officials got up and slowly left the State Business Academy.
After the prisoners pressed down, Luo Yi and Zhao Wenxian were left in the lobby, as well as more than a dozen subordinates.
Luo Yi took Zhao Wenxian and walked quickly to the backyard to find a room where no one was around, Luo Yi said: "Wenxian, what's the matter with the prisoner?" You can't arrange it, right? ā
Zhao Wenxian said with a smile: "The eldest brother is really wise, that person was indeed arranged by me, the eldest brother wants to make people guilty, only relying on Wu You and Lei Sihai, it is obviously not possible, they are just a businessman, how can they have such courage, it is better to pull the Jiedu envoy into the water, he is also involved in the salt merchant case, if he can break it in one sentence, then the eldest brother will get a lot of benefits." ā
"You are bold, such a big thing, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Zhao Wenxian said with a straight face: "Big brother, the situation was too urgent at that time, I didn't have time to say it." ā
"I think, the eldest brother also hopes that this is the case, the fall of the festival is a good thing for the eldest brother."
"It's a good thing, but it's too dangerous."
Luo Yi said: "You have to think of a way to kill the prisoner who depicted Niu Yanjin's face just now, and you can't leave a living mouth!" ā
Zhao Wenxian said: "Big brother, don't worry, that person is the most reliable, I still have a life-saving grace for him, and I also promised to help him take care of his family.... ā
Luo Yi said: "Wenxian, there can't be any mistakes now, once he bites you, you will die!" Take your life into your own hands, don't think about relying on others to save your life, you know? ā
"If you want to live, go and kill that man and shut him up forever!"
Zhao Wenxian thought about it, and then he was ruthless, and said: "Okay, then I'll listen to my eldest brother, and I will take care of his family more in the future." ā
"That's right."
Luo Yi said: "It scared me a lot just now, I thought that rabbit cub would really say something, if it involves our National Chamber of Commerce, then the matter will be wasted." ā
