Good cards only in the hands of deterrence, if played out early, of course, can get a moment of refreshment, but the deterrent is gone, unless you can break the enemy in one fell swoop, otherwise, it is a waste, the degree of mastery is obviously a technical job, it is difficult for ordinary people to be able to do it easily, but, for Hongqing, but it is just a trivial matter.

After all, even if Ding Shanhe really confessed to Su Keji, it was just a one-sided statement, and it was really a big trouble, at most, it would be a punishment on his back, but in this way, Hongqing and the entire Shanxi officialdom had to completely fall out, and if he wanted to do something later, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky, but then again, he took Ding Shanhe, but he didn't try it on the spot, and only controlled it in his hands, Su Keji will inevitably have a lot of scruples, and when he acts, he will inevitably be a little constrained, and this is naturally a good thing for Hongqing.

"Xiaguan knocks to see the prince!"

When Ding Shanhe's wail was still echoing in the prison, he saw that the sweaty King Liangen had already hurried over, knelt down in front of Hongqing, and bowed respectfully.

"Excuse me."

For Wang Liangen, the newly arrived Zhentai, Hongqing has no bad feelings, and he can't talk about too much good feelings, no side, as Zhentai, what he is in charge of is the name of the punishment of a province, and this prison is what it should be managed, and now, there is such an abuse of lynching, how can Wang Liangen absolve himself, at least it is dereliction of duty, and at worst, it is also incompetent management, if it is not for the fact that he has just come to Shanxi not long after taking office, Hongqing is afraid that he would have been put into another book.

"Xie Wang Ye Longen, the lower officials saw Ding Shanhe shouting injustice before, I don't know ......"

Wang Liangen was in a hurry before, and he didn't know what happened to the whole thing at all, but as a platform, something happened to his subordinates, but he couldn't help but ask to understand.

"Lord Wang, how do you discipline your subordinates? In this prison, there is a lynching man, what else can you say, huh? ”

Before Wang Liangen's words were finished, Su Keji was already indignant and reprimanded from the side.

"Ah, this ......"

Wang Liangen really didn't know what was going on in the prison, and was reprimanded by Su Keji like this, so he noticed that Zhao Fengzhao was tied to the torture rack, and he was immediately taken aback, there is no other person, although Zhao Fengzhao is now in prison, but the right to try the case is not in his Yamen, but in Hongqing, who holds the holy decree, this kind of lynching was caught by Hongqing on the spot, and he Wang Liangen is to blame.

"Okay, let's talk about the responsibility later, come on, wake up Zhao Fengzhao first, this king has something to ask."

Seeing that Su Keji had the intention of deliberately disturbing the situation, Hongqing's brows immediately furrowed, and with a wave of his hand, he gave an order in an unquestionable tone.

"Wow!"

At this time, they were still following the left and right, but they were all the palace guards brought by Hongqing, since no one would go to deal with Su and Wang, and after answering the promise in unison, several people grabbed the torture rack, and relieved Zhao Fengzhao with all hands and feet, and someone brought a bowl of cold water, just poured it, and heard Zhao Fengzhao groan, and he woke up.

"Ouch, it hurts me, ouch......"

Zhao Fengzhao just woke up from a coma, he couldn't figure out the situation at all, in order to avoid being beaten again, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was screaming, his voice was terrible and almost weak, and the misery of his condition really made the listener look sideways.

"Hmm!"

Hongqing waved his hand, said lightly, and motioned to the guards around Zhao Fengzhao to get out of the way, and then slowly walked to the front, and said with a solemn expression: "This king Hongqing, I was ordered to come to thoroughly investigate the mysterious disappearance of Taiyuan Kuyin, do you have anything to say, huh?" ”

"The criminal official knocks on the prince, the lower official is wronged, the lower official is wronged, the prince is wronged, you have to be the master of the lower official, the lower official is wronged......"

Zhao Fengzhao is just a scholar, the text is very weak, he has been tortured for more than half a month, he is already not a man, if it is not for the guidance of others, knowing that Hongqing will preside over the Taiyuan case in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to support it for a long time.

"You have a lot of grievances and take your time, this king will be the master for you, just say it."

Zhao Fengzhao didn't know how many days he hadn't freshened up, his body was dirty and smelly, and the thick smell of blood emitted by the accumulated scars was disgusting, but Hongqing didn't care, nodded expressionlessly, and opened his mouth indifferently.

"Lord Wang Mingjian, the offender has really never touched those treasury silver, the lower official is wronged, poor lower official has been punished every day for half a month, and the pain is unspeakable, Lord Wang, the lower official is really wronged......"

Since he was imprisoned, it has been more than a month, and Zhao Fengzhao can be said to have tasted all the pain.

"Punished every day? Is that true, huh? ”

Zhao Fengzhao's crying is all sensitive, the preface and the afterword are really difficult to have coherence at all, chattering a lot, even if others listen, at most it is pitiful to his experience, but rarely will really listen to what he says, but Hongqing is not, keenly grasped the key point of Zhao Fengzhao's crying, did not wait for his crying to stop, he raised his eyebrows, and his voice broke off coldly.

"That's true, Lord Wang, they are urging every day, insisting that the offender admit that the silver has been transported back to his hometown by the offender, and the poor offender has never done this, how can he admit it, they will be punished every day, and the officials will be wronged, the prince ......"

Zhao Fengzhao was sad and unbearable at this time, in fact, he didn't hear the intention of Hongqing's question at all, and he didn't think about it, and blindly shouted injustice.

"Lord Wang, you give this king an explanation, what the hell is going on, huh?"

With Zhao Fengzhao's personal confession, coupled with Ding Shanhe's already in control, Hongqing Ke no longer had much politeness to speak of, staring at the cramped and restless Wang Liangen with a gloomy face, and squeezed out a gloomy sentence almost word by word.

"The prince forgives the sin, the lower officials really don't know about this matter, the lower officials have only been in office for less than a month, and the affairs of the yamen are complicated, and they can't take care of the prison for a while, I really can't imagine that these bastards will act like this, and I ask the prince to forgive some time, and the lower officials should thoroughly investigate and make a clear decision."

Zhao Fengzhao's corruption case broke out before Wang Liangen took office, according to the law, it has nothing to do with Wang Liangen, it is precisely because of this that Wang Liangen has always held a cold attitude on this matter - in fact, he has long known that someone is urging Zhao Fengzhao to death in prison, but he doesn't want to pay attention to it at all, so he just has a mind to watch the excitement, but he never thought that he would catch Hongqing. can only make a perfunctory statement, obviously thinking that he can get through the trick first and then make plans.

"Grace time? That's okay, Lord Wang himself said that he could give this king a definite answer in a few days? ”

Wang Liangen's perfunctory rhetoric is enough to prevaricate others, but if you want to fool Hongqing, there is obviously no such possibility, no, as soon as Wang Liangen's words fell, Hongqing was already mercilessly asked.

"This ......"

Wang Liangen has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, how to say that he is also a veteran of Huan Hai, he is no stranger to official articles, and he is quite familiar with playing prevarication and perfunctory, but he met Hongqing and other more serious people who do not play cards according to common sense, when even if he was choked with a red face, his eyes involuntarily slipped towards Su Keji, it is obvious that although Wang Liangen has not been to prison for most of the month, he still knows the beginning and end of this matter.

"Don't worry, this is just a trivial matter, you can know the root of it at a check, it is messy here, stay for a long time, I am afraid that your noble body is not good, and please ask the prince to go to the lobby to rest, what is the matter, it will be done by the lower officials?"

Although Su Keji and Wang Liangen did not have a very deep friendship, but in covering up Zhao Fengzhao's lynching, his mind was the same.

"Well, that's good, this king will wait for a while, come and bring Zhao Fengzhao back to the post station!"

The matter of lynching must be investigated, but Hongqing didn't plan to rush for a while, it was just a false shot, as for the real purpose, there is only one, that is, to control Zhao Fengzhao in his own hands.

"Wow!"

Since Hongqing had an order, the palace guards didn't dare to slack off, and they all responded to the promise, and several guards who had been supporting Zhao Fengzhao hurriedly set it up, and they were about to take it out of the interrogation room.

"Wait!"

Listening to Hongqing's first half of the sentence, Su Keji was in a good mood, but as soon as he heard the order from behind, he was anxious on the spot, and when he saw that those guards were going to take Zhao Fengzhao away, his face immediately became extremely difficult to see, and he flashed out regardless of it, stretched out his hand, blocked the way of the guards, and shouted to stop.

"Huh?"

Hongqing had long expected that Su Keji would jump out, and he didn't care about it in his heart, but his face was gloomy and cold, he squinted at him, and snorted coldly.

"Lord, Zhao Fengzhao is greedy for more than 300,000 taels of silver, and he has not yet explained the whereabouts of the stolen silver, but he is a criminal in the court, and he must be detained in prison according to the law, and the prince will take it away without authorization, I am afraid that it is not in accordance with the law?"

Su Keji has been in the sea for decades, and he can be mixed with the respect of the governor of a province, although he has the help of the eighth master, and he himself is not a fool, at this time, how can he not see the fundamental purpose of Hongqing's fanfare today, and he is unwilling to obey Hongqing's intentions like this, so he gritted his teeth and said to Hongqing strongly.
