Yang Shen stroked his beard and smiled, which was exactly the result he dreamed of. Li Yong's case is nothing, and one of the biggest goals and challenges before coming here is to force Li Yong to come out to prove Du Youlin's crime, because even if there is Liu Ji's report, it will not pose a fatal threat to Du Youlin, and it will not be able to expand the situation.

The reason is very simple, Liu Ji's words have no weight, and people are light-hearted, coupled with Liu Ji's character and reputation in the capital, as well as the semi-public contradiction with his grandfather, this kind of exposure is easy to be regarded as venting personal anger, and it is easy to refute. But if Li Yong came forward to report, it would be completely different. Li Yong is a good friend of Du Youlin, a local magistrate, and a famous man of the Tang Dynasty, and the weight of his words is not the same as Liu Ji. As soon as Li Yong came forward to testify, he basically confirmed the facts of the case.

Now that Li Yong has been detained, the next step is for Li Yong to come forward to prove the so-called criminal evidence of Du Youlin's so-called construction of the East Palace to discuss the government and politics, Yang Shenjin decided to take the hot iron, ordered someone to withdraw the paper, and said loudly: "Okay, Li Yong, it's good that you have this attitude of confessing, after all, you are not confused." The case of embezzlement of public money can basically be concluded, so now this official asks you what kind of things Du Youlin said when he was dealing with you, what kind of intentions he made, and what kind of rebellious things he did. You need to be truthful. ”

At this point, Li Yong was also slaughtered, and said in a low voice with a white face: "The criminal officer obeys the order, and the court asks questions, and the criminal officer knows everything." ”

Yang Shenjin reached out and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, on which were densely written accusations about Du Youlin's remarks, intending to read it out sentence by sentence and ask Li Yong to admit that Du Youlin had said such things in person. This method is Yang Shenjin's original interrogation method, which is simple and fast, and quickly cuts through the chaos.

Wang Yuan saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't be silent anymore, because this was already his bottom line. No matter what officials are involved in Li Yong's case, even if Li Shizhi and others are knocked into the water with a single stroke, it is tolerable for Wang Yuan. But once the fire is about to be burned to the crown prince, Wang Yuan must stand up and stop it, this is the ultimate mission of his trip.

"Wait." Wang Yuan opened his mouth.

Yang Shenjin was stunned, he had almost forgotten that there was still a deputy envoy for case investigation sitting next to him, just now at this moment, he had already regarded this trial hall as a hall of words, and he didn't expect Wang Yuan to suddenly speak out loud.

"Deputy Envoy Wang, do you have anything to say?" Yang Shenjin tried his best to make himself pleasant, he didn't want to turn his face with Wang Yuan at this juncture.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "That's the case, I think today's case will be tried here for the time being, it's not early, we should eat and rest." There is no hurry to meet at this time. ”

"Deputy Envoy Wang, the facts of the case must be clear, how can you give up halfway at this moment? Besides, although it's noon, what if you're hungry for a little while in order to handle the case? After holding on for a while, if Deputy Envoy Wang is really hungry, I will order someone to send some snacks and tea for you to sit on and enjoy. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Yang Shangshu, do you have to force me to tell the reason?" I'm not hungry, I'm just reminding you not to mess up the case in a hurry. ”

Yang Shenjin said: "How do you say this? The facts of the case are clear, so why is there confusion? ”

Wang Yuan said: "I've been listening to it and know what's going on." The case of embezzlement of public funds can only be dug up after the trial is completed, and the previous matter has not been concluded, how did you start asking Du Youlin's case, what is this not chaos? ”

Yang Shenjin frowned and said: "Deputy Wang has made you fugue, didn't you see that Li Yong had fully confessed just now, isn't this the end of the trial?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Of course I saw it, but this is not the case of public money, and there are important witnesses who have not yet arrived, so this painting is too hasty." ”

Yang Shenjin said coldly: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Didn't someone accuse Li Yong and Zichuan Taishou Pei Dunfu of squandering each other's property just now, and they said something rebellious after getting drunk?" All of this is included in the confession just now, and this is not appropriate. The matter involving Pei Dunfu should be brought to the court to be confirmed, otherwise wouldn't it be an omission in the case? Even if all this is true, it is not procedurally perfect. Therefore, strictly speaking, although Li Yong was detained, the case is far from closed. It is necessary to add Pei Dunfu's interrogation confession to be considered a real conclusion. I don't know if I'm right. ”

Yang Shenjin was stunned, this was not Yang Shenjin's own unintentional omission, in fact, he knew this very well. It's just that the men who went to get Zichuan Taishou were afraid that they would not arrive until the evening, and he had to skip this festival in order to be in a hurry. I thought that Wang Yuan didn't know anything about the trial of the case, and he was fooled and pulled down, but he didn't expect Wang Yuan to be confused at all, and directly pointed out this.

Yang Shenjin thought for a while, got up and pulled Wang Yuan aside and whispered, "Deputy Envoy Wang, why are you nitpicking. Now that the facts of the case are clear, do you have to delay for so long? Don't you want to end the case here earlier and go back to the capital? Pei Dunfu must be here tonight, and his confession will be supplemented tomorrow, let's continue to dig into Du Youlin's case, Li Yong admits that there is collusion with Du Youlin, this is a major breakthrough in the case, we should take advantage of the hot iron. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "I'm stupid, some things can't be turned around, I like to finish one thing and then do another, I think it's better to try it tomorrow." ”

Yang Shen said angrily: "Deputy Envoy Wang, you are not cooperative, if you insist on your own opinion, I don't mind continuing to try the case in your absence." ”

Wang Yuan said coldly: "Then don't let me sign the final file, I will play the imperial court, all your interrogation results are interrogated without my knowledge, the results are invalid, all confessions are just a pile of waste paper." ”

"You're ......! Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? I advise you to cooperate and think about your future. ”

"Joke, I only do errands seriously for the imperial court, try cases according to procedures, and have something to do with my personal future? Is Yang Shangshu threatening me? I'm not afraid. If you like to judge, you will judge, I'm going to dinner, and I'm leaving. Wang Yuan flicked his sleeves and left, and walked out of the mansion hall.

Everyone saw the two trial envoys muttering on the side, and soon after, Deputy Envoy Wang brushed his sleeves and left, seemingly unhappy, Yang Shangshu gritted his teeth with a blue face, and he didn't know what was going on. After a while, a clerk asked timidly: "Yang Shangshu, is the case still trial?" ”

Yang Shenjin kicked over the chair and scolded angrily: "I still tried a fart, suppressed the prisoner to take care of him, chose the opportunity to retry the case, and retired from the court." ”

After that, he put his hands behind his back and scolded and went to the back hall.

Wang Yuan's mood was actually very bad, he went out of the state government and returned to his residence, and he was not in the mood to go out to eat and drink in the restaurant, so he sat in the room frowning and stunned. Gongsun Lan came in with a vermilion lacquer food plate, and when she saw Wang Yuan's sad face, she asked softly, "What's wrong?" Got a problem? ”

Wang Yuan sighed and whispered about the situation of the court trial, and Gongsun Lan frowned after hearing it: "In this way, Li Yong is planning to break the jar." But he didn't know that he was such a person. What you have to do will be very troublesome, and as soon as Pei Dunfu arrives, his confession will be recorded soon, because Li Yong has admitted it, and he can't argue with it. Besides, I am afraid that there is indeed money between them, and a lot of public money has been spent, but Pei Dunfu doesn't know that Li Yong spends all public money. ”

Wang Yuan said: "This is not the point, it is very simple to ask Pei Dun to confess his guilt, and Yang Shenjin's methods will definitely make a fuss about the accounts of Zichuan County." Before I came to Beihai County, I had seen all the accounts in Beihai, where were there so many names in today's court trial, it was all because Yang Shenjin had done all kinds of tricks in the past few days. The main officials of the entire Beihai County are afraid that they have been controlled by Yang Shenjin. Therefore, it is not surprising that the same thing will happen to Pei Dunfu. ”

Gongsun Lan said in a low voice: "Do you need me to delay the time for Pei Dunfu to escort him?" Maybe I can rob Pei Dunfu halfway and make this case unconclusive, so that you have a reason to continue to delay. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "That's all expedient, in fact, even if Pei Dunfu is not present, the case will still be closed." Yang Shenjin just didn't want me to make trouble with him, he just hoped that the case of Li Yong and Du Youlin could be brought together as soon as possible according to his wishes, and Li Yong's testimony to expose Du Youlin could be obtained. If he had decided to do so, he would have done so if I was not present, and whether I signed or not signed this confession was an important testimony that could make even bigger waves. ”

Gongsun Lan said: "Then what are you going to do now?" ”

Wang Yuan said solemnly: "I'm thinking, the key to the problem is Li Yong, I need to know why Li Yong is willing to be at the mercy of Yang Shenjin." I want to find a way to meet Li Yong and talk to him. Yang Shenjin may not let me see him alone, but I will give it a try. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said: "The bell must be tied to the bell, you want Li Yong to change his mind and retract his confession, and not admit the connection with Du Youlin's case, this is the most fundamental problem." It's a pity that we let Yang Shenjin go at the beginning, and I don't know what he did to Li Yong. ”

Wang Yuan said: "I didn't let Yang Shenjin go, but overestimated Li Yong's integrity. I didn't expect him to be such a spineless person. But things are not so bad that they can't be helped, if it really comes to a critical time, I will surprise Yang Shenjin. ”

Gongsun Lan looked at Wang Yuan and said, "You plan to use drastic means?" ”

Wang Yuan nodded slightly and said: "I will never hesitate when I need to use it, if Li Linfu and Yang Shen succeed this time, there will be no place for me in the capital." ”

Gongsun Lan nodded, opened the food box and said softly: "Got it, eat it while it's hot, I specially went to Beihai Restaurant to copy the food." ”
