"Did you hear it all?" Knowing that Zhao Dingyuan had returned to the house, Wei Shui said softly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His voice was a little hoarse, and when he listened closely, there was an irrepressible tremor.

"Why?" It's been so long, and this is the first time since that time that Zhao Dingyuan has made a sound. He couldn't stop talking, because he could hear the conversation between Wei Shui and Chen Deng just now. He felt that his case, if it was turned over by the patrol, there would still be a chance of acquittal, after all, he really didn't kill anyone. But what did Wei Shui do? As if he didn't know, he also hinted to Chen Deng that even if the patrol press came, it would be impossible to turn over the case. Does this mean that Wei Shui never wanted to help him?

"Do you think I'm trying to hurt you?" Wei Shui sat up and sighed, looking a little helpless, "Indeed, if the Zhejiang Inspector is really here for your case, judging from his various performances described to me by the prefect just now, I think there is a great chance that you can overturn the case." But have you ever thought that people came here for the Chinese New Year, is it really for a case that has been handed over to the Criminal Department for execution? Okay, good, even if he's really here for that case. Do you know why Chen Deng came to me? ”

Zhao Dingyuan didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of doubts.

"Don't understand?" Wei Shui smiled, "It's okay if you don't understand, I'll tell you." Chen Deng's primary purpose was for me to help him guess what the Zhejiang Inspector had come to Shaoxing Mansion for. The second purpose is to determine whether there are any doubts about your case. Hey, don't rush to say it just yet. Let me tell you, if I just said that there are doubts in that case, then what Chen Deng will do next is definitely to try to erase the doubts I said one by one. Of course, it must also include you, Zhao Dingyuan, the biggest variable in this case. ”

"Why?" Zhao Dingyuan could not accept this statement.

"Why?" Wei Shui's laughter was full of sarcasm, "I remember I told you a long time ago that Chen Deng would never admit his mistakes easily. If you think about it, he is about to be promoted. If such an unjust case is found out, do you guess he will be promoted to an official? So, no matter what, he will never allow your case to be overturned. ”

Zhao Dingyuan slowly squatted down, looking at his expression, full of melancholy. In fact, he is really not a big traitor, and he didn't kill people, but he couldn't think of committing suicide. Why should he pay for this life?

Wei Shui looked at him for a while, stood up, walked over, and squatted beside him. Gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't do this! Things aren't as bad as you think. If I guessed correctly, the Zhejiang patrol came to Shaoxing Mansion at this time, and nine out of nine were not for you, but for me. I've been locked up in the government for a long time, and it's hardly a secret in the government. On the streets, I believe there must have been rumors. It is very dangerous and absolutely unreasonable for a beggar who is trapped in a cage to be able to influence the decision-making of the four high-ranking members of the imperial court. So, this time, his target should be me. ”

Zhao Dingyuan listened, and his mood did not improve significantly. His current mood is very pessimistic, if Wei Shui's judgment is right, then if something happens to Wei Shui, who else can save him? If Wei Shui's judgment is wrong, the patrol is for that case. Just like Wei Shui said, Chen Deng would definitely put him to death urgently in order to prevent the case from being overturned, in that way, he had no doubt that even Wei Shui could not save him.

"Wei Shui doesn't want to die!" Wei Shui held his forehead and sighed again. Standing up on the spot, he said to Zhao Dingyuan, "Go on, I feel very bad, we have to be ready to escape at any time." ”

The visit of the Zhejiang patrol made Chen Deng a little caught off guard.

When the two met, Cha Dalei, the inspector who was obviously very low in official quality, was about to greet according to the etiquette system of the imperial court, but was stopped by Chen Deng with a smile. There's no way, who made Chen Deng's heart beat a drum, and he felt that he was not clean? For the Zhejiang patrol who has the power to impeach him, it is natural to be appeased.

This young patrol of the imperial history is indeed different from the ones Chen Deng has seen. Everywhere he speaks and behaves, he is polite, but he does not seem too sycophant in the slightest.

After answering correctly for a while, the topic gradually shifted to serious matters. Cha Dalei mentioned that he wanted to consult the case file of Shaoxing Mansion, and when Chen Deng heard this, his heart was tight. It's just that verifying the unjust prison is also within the scope of the imperial history's functions, and although Chen Deng has the intention to stop it, he is afraid that it will show his feet. I had to pretend to be calm and call the scribe of the torture room to get the file, while continuing to talk to Cha Dalei.

Chen Deng may not have other abilities, but he does an excellent job of encircling his subordinates. The scribe of the torture room only got a look from him, and he already knew what his master meant. He went out with a few servants, and in a short time he returned. Except for himself, everyone behind him held a pile of dossiers as thick as a small mountain.

Cha Dalei looked at the dizzying dossier and couldn't help but be speechless. The prefect of the heart is ruthless enough, looking at the color, several books are slightly yellowed, and I don't know how long the old dossier is. I actually moved out for myself! There are so many, if you really want to watch it, I'm afraid that a year is not enough time to read it once, let alone sort them out one by one and find them out.

Chen Deng saw that Cha Dalei's face changed, and he immediately became proud in his heart. Don't look at you as a Pingyubo, and you have always been smart. In the end, the time of the ups and downs of the sea is still too short, and I have not experienced any strong winds and waves. It seems that the allusion of this strong dragon not suppressing the head snake really has to give you a good experience!

"Lord Cha, this is the case file of this mansion, you can consult it."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Cha Dalei thanked him a few words, frowned, and flipped through the file in front of him. Where can he read this mountain of dossiers? After a while, a sweat broke out. The more Chen Deng looked at it, the more excited he became, the more he looked at it, the more proud he felt, and later, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile slightly.

In the end, Cha Dalei didn't last long, he raised the white flag and surrendered to the 'old treacherous and cunning' prefect.

"My lord, according to the lower officials, the cases in Shaoxing Mansion have been tried in an orderly and well-founded manner. It is not an exaggeration to be called an exemplary model, as long as you turn over a few cases, the strict style of the adult's judgment and handling of things has already been felt by the officials. Chen Dengzheng listened happily with a smile, but he couldn't wait to hear Cha Dalei's opinion, "I don't know, is it convenient for the lower officials to check the prison of the government office?" ”
