Chapter 0072 - Confession
Jia Min sent Jia Qiang to Ningrong Street, and then went to the Yuelai Inn he frequented. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After staying here for one night, the next morning as soon as the city gate opened, I went to Tongzhou. At noon, I inquired about Wang Chengzuo's residence.
This Wang Zhuo is the one who came to conduct an autopsy when Zhou Rui poisoned Jia Min.
This is a set of typical courtyard houses in the imperial capital. There are three main rooms, and a few wings on the left and right. There is an ear room at the door. In front of the door, there is a small pond.
According to Feng Shui, this pond is the water of the Vermilion Bird Fang.
In terms of scale, this courtyard can be regarded as a medium-sized family at least in the local area.
It is a little surprising that a puppet can mix to this level, or Jia Min.
The wooden door was closed, and Jia Min knocked vigorously, and after a while, a man in his forties came to open the door. ‘
Jia Min recognized at a glance that it was this person who went for the autopsy in the first place.
At first, Wang Chengzuo didn't recognize Jia Min, but by the time he did, it was too late, so Jia Min pushed him away and forced himself into the courtyard.
"Wang Chengzuo's house is good, can you go in and talk about it?"
Jia Min said, and walked inside.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
"Wang Chengzuo won't be so forgetful, we've known each other for a long time."
"I don't know you, please explain your intentions, otherwise, I will report to the official."
"Okay, I can't ask for it. I want to see how you collude with others to kill people for money. ”
"Little brother, don't spew blood. You ......,"
Before Wang Chengzuo finished speaking, Jia Min flew up and kicked him to the ground.
"Toast and don't eat and drink, you still play stupid with me. The good things you did with Jia Lian and Zhou Rui were forgotten so quickly? You didn't expect me to come back to life, did you? ”
"It's clear that you put arsenic in my tea, but you stare at it and say that you died of a violent illness, hurry up, how much silver did they give you?"
"No, no, no money."
"Okay, that's your own thing."
Jia Min carried the puppet into the house, and at the corner of the house at the door, there was a rope, picked it up, buckled it, and put it around the neck of the puppet.
"On that day, before I could breathe, I was put in the coffin, and you were present at the time. Now, I will take you to see the official, and when the time comes, you can tell the county magistrate about it. ”
As he spoke, Jia Min pulled him out with him. The pretendence is to hold the door frame with both hands, unwilling to move the nest.
"What, you're scared? Now I will give you two ways, one is to follow me to see the official, and the other is to explain the events of that day to me, maybe I will let you go. You choose one for yourself, right? ”
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally sighed.
"In that case, I'll tell you all. When the time comes, you'll have to spare me. ”
"Okay, that's a deal."
Jia Min let go of the work, and the two entered the back room, where Jia Min asked questions and recorded, and the two answered.
In the interrogation, the setting of the topic is actually very important. Because this represents the direction of the interrogation. Jia Min's questions naturally revolved around the direction in which Zhou Rui and Jia Lian intentionally murdered him.
In particular, the fact that they colluded to fabricate violent illness and death and paid them to give false testimony was emphasized.
The reason why Jia Min dared to use so much force against the puppet was because he grasped one of the fatal heels of the puppet -- he did not report to the official.
According to the provisions of the "Great Virtue Law", all cases of poisoning must be reported to the authorities. In other words, the poisoning case is already a criminal case, and it cannot be private, but must go through the judicial process.
It was obviously an arsenic poisoning case, but it was pretended to be a death incident, and it was obvious that he accepted the benefits. This is the reason why he did not dare to go to the official.
After the interrogation, Jia Min copied another copy of the confession he had made, and Jia Min left after drawing it.
Before the city gates closed, Jia Min returned to the city. Drop off the horse at the Joy Inn and head out.
When they walked to the market, they met one of Niu Jizong's buses, and Jia Min got into the car. While sitting in the car, I chatted with the car owner.
"You're a new thing, and you've earned all the money."
"This master, don't hide it, where did you make any money? Don't you see, you're alone in this car? ”
"That's right, what's wrong? No one wants to sit? ”
"Willing is willing, but it's too expensive, as soon as people inquire about the price, they turn around and leave. Who has how much money to go out and ride in a carriage every day? ”
"If you have a carriage or a horse in the house, you don't need to take our carriage. If you don't have a car or a horse, you don't have any money, who will spend ten cents to make a car, and you will arrive in a few steps. Ten pennies, you can buy a bunch of vegetables, enough for a family to eat for several days. ”
"I also entered the city a few days ago, and I saw that your business was very hot, why did you fall out of the cold these days?"
"It was just opened, and it was all fresh. For a long time, who still spends that unjust money every day? If you want to say this thing, it's a good thing, but the money for this car is not affordable. ”
"According to you, I'm afraid this business won't last long?"
"In my opinion, it won't last long. The guys who came with me have already been gone for four or five. This line turned out to be eight cars, and since yesterday, it has been reduced by four. I'm afraid that the owners can't hold on. This man eats and feeds his horses, and all of them are living creatures, and he shall not fill them with silver on that day. ”
This situation was actually expected by Jia Min for a long time, so he has always taken a cold and onlooker attitude towards Niu Jizong and Liu Fang squeezing him out.
With their minds, there is no way to solve this deadlock at present. There are only two endings in the end, one is that it can't be supported anymore and it closes down. The second is that someone will take over.
However, with the current state of business, no one will be optimistic about the prospects of the bus carriage. Except for Jia Min, no one will jump into this fire pit.
However, no matter which outcome it is, losing money is doomed.
In fact, Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and others have put a lot of effort into this project.
On the day of the opening, it was an unprecedented event. Not only some famous businessmen went there to congratulate, but also officials, and a lot of them came.
Officials from Wanping County, Daxing County, Tongzhou, Changping Prefecture, Shuntianfu, Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, and even the Admiral of Jiumen from Erpin all came to cheer.
However, no matter how many people come, it is only a momentary bustle. Over time, no one can pay for this hole for you.
If this project fails, it will not only be a financial loss, but also a huge loss in terms of decency.
It is said that when the Holy One heard about this, he was very happy. Now that he has dismounted in a hurry, he can't leave any good feelings with the emperor.
Although the bus and carriage project is also privately invested, it has one biggest difference from other privately invested commercial projects, that is, its public nature.
Therefore, although it is not a government-run project, the officials of various yamen are very concerned about it. To a large extent, this has become a project for the officials' political achievements and an image project. Therefore, it was reported layer by layer, and finally alarmed the emperor.
Once the project fails, the officials will lose face. If the emperor sees who is not pleasing to the eye, who he wants to clean up, and give him a bully, it is all ready-made.
Therefore, even if Niu Jizong can't hold on, it is not easy to stop. Or gritted their teeth and stiffened, constantly burning money inside, or forcibly closed down.
If it is the latter, I am afraid that even those officials will have to offend him. Although he was also from a noble family, his reputation was bankrupt. With this bad record, the future career path has also become confusing.
At the intersection of the Great Golden Gate intersection, Jia Min got out of the car, and Qiu Liang was already waiting for him here.
Tonight, Jia Min is the east, invite Qiu Liang to eat and drink, first, Qiu Liang invited them last time, and invite Qiu Liang back today. The second is that there are only three days left before the watermelon goes on the market, and he wants to ask Qiu Liang to bring someone to maintain order on that day.
In advance, a detailed security plan must be worked out.
Just when the two of them were about to walk into the alley, an earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves came, and they didn't need to look at it to know that this was a horse team coming.
Sure enough, I saw a team of white horses rushing over, and there were about a hundred of them. The more eye-catching ones are the horses, all of which are white, and none of them are of any other color.
The knights on horseback are also uniformly brown. Each showed a fierce aura.
Only a young man in his twenties in the middle, dressed in white, sat in a splendid four-horse four-wheeled carriage surrounded by a crowd of riders, which looked different.
The horse team was so fast that it didn't care about the cars and pedestrians on the street. A vendor selling chickens and ducks on the side of the road couldn't hide, and the chickens and ducks were so frightened that they flew around.
Two ducks panicked and ran to the road, and in the blink of an eye, they were trampled to death by the horses' hooves.
Damn, isn't this racing in the downtown area? Who is so good? Could it be that his dad is also very good?
After Jia Min came to this world, he also saw some troops, but the impression he had was that the military discipline of these armies was relatively loose, the military appearance was not neat, the equipment was poor, and it was obviously insufficient training. There is no murderous spirit that has been baptized by war.
However, this team is significantly different from those armies. Not only is the military neat, but also has a fierce atmosphere. At first glance, it is well-trained.
"Who is this, so arrogant?"
Jia Min became interested in this army.
"Who else can it be, isn't it the son of the Dongping Wang family."
Qiu Liang's voice was dissatisfied. It seems that he is not too interested in this world.
"This team of retinues is very majestic."
"All of them are like that. If you have nothing to do, you are willing to go to the imperial capital to show off. ”
How many of them are? Which ones? It seems that there is something in the words.
Although he has already had some contacts with Qiu Liang now, after all, the friendship is not too deep, so Jia Min will not ask. If you ask too many questions and arouse Qiu Liang's vigilance, it will not be good.
When they arrived at Mitsuki Tower, the two of them drank while studying the matter of sending troops to Yedu Ju to maintain order.
Although Qiu Liang was listening, he was thinking in his heart: This guy, his heart is big enough, Jiafu is waiting for him to make a fool of himself now, and he still has the heart to think about it. You really think that watermelon can be sold for 5,000 taels of silver.
