Chapter 38: Gambling
Judging the situation, the more critical the moment, the more you can't take a wrong step!
Tang Yi knew very well that his biggest backer was Wei Liangfu, but after all, the old man was an official of Zhishi, and the county official was not as good as the current management, and the other party also brought Wan Hao, and the background was offset at once, and Tang Yi's weakness was completely exposed. ≥
What's even worse is that the Ming Dynasty is not a place of rule of law, reason and logic are unreasonable, some are just sophistry and speculation, and the lobby debate is even more to see who has the loudest voice. Facing an experienced, deep-rooted, ruthless, and many hole cards Hu Bin, Tang Yi had no chance of winning head-on.
The only way to survive is to do the opposite, jump out of the fight with Hu Bin, open up another battlefield, and attack him unprepared! Tang Yi ignored Hu Bin's accusation, suddenly knelt on his knees, and said sharply: "Old parents, the kid has a piece of evidence presented. ”
Chen Menghe suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "What is it, bring it quickly." ”
Tang Yi untied the bun, carefully took out a paper roll from it, unfolded it, and presented it with both hands, and a servant took it and sent it to Chen Menghe.
Chen Menghe glanced at it, and immediately frowned, only to see that there were an astonishing number of good things listed on it: twenty pearls, fifty taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, and two coral trees......
A rough estimate showed that it was about three thousand taels, and Chen Menghe couldn't help but be surprised.
"What is this?"
"Qi Qi old parents, this is a birthday gift that Lei Qi gave to Lord Hu three months ago!" This gift list is the evidence left by Lei Qi.
Tang Yi was afraid of losing, he first handed it over to Wang Shimao, and naturally no one dared to embarrass the second son. When Tang Yi was escorted to the yamen, Wang Shimao caught up with him out of breath and took advantage of Hu Bin to report to Chen Menghe. Wang Shimao had the opportunity to talk to Tang Yi, and the price was two big ingots of fifty taels. For Tang Yi, the second son of Wang also made a bloody investment.
"Cousin, Wan Hao was dumped by me, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Do you give the evidence to Lord Chen, or go to Wei Lao? Wang Shimao asked breathlessly.
"Neither!" Tang Yi said solemnly: "The bow and arrow are not shot out to have a deterrent effect, and the enemy situation is unknown, so you can't play all the cards." Tang Yi took two gift slips, hid them in a bun, and said, "Listen to me, you arrange dozens of good hands to surround Hu Bin's family for me secretly." ”
"What are you going to do? You won't kidnap the Hu family, right? ”
Even came up with the kidnapping ticket, this brain hole is really big, Tang Yi couldn't talk to him carefully, only said: "If someone runs out of the Hu family, you must catch it!" The lives of our father and son are in your hands! ”
Wang Shimao nodded vigorously: "Cheng, don't worry, I'll go!" ”
Wang Shimao turned around and left, at this moment, Wan Hao, accompanied by Han Tong, also rushed over, with this one, the officials no longer dared to release the water, staring Tang Yi to death.
"Alas, I'm still scared!"
Tang Yi secretly smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that if he had been bolder, he would have found Lei Qi directly and helped him get rid of Hu Bin, maybe he would not have fallen to the point where he is today.
In the world of cannibalism, you can either eat others or be eaten by others, and there is no other choice!
"The old parents are above, and Lord Hu testified that the boy had a relationship with Lei Qi, and then he was unclear with the widow, and the biggest evidence was nothing more than that the boy received Lei Qi two hundred taels of silver. However, the value of this gift list is about three thousand taels, which is more than ten times that of a boy. Moreover, Lei Qi is also Hu Bin's niece and son-in-law, and he has a close relationship, even more so above the kid. As we all know, Lei Qi's business has become bigger and bigger over the years, and it is inseparable from the protection of Lord Hu. ”
Tang Yi sneered: "If it is according to Lord Hu's standards, if you want to cure the kid for the crime of being a widow, the kid can also suspect that Lord Hu has a deeper relationship with the widow, and even Lei Qi is just his subordinate." The crime was in danger of being exposed, so he lost his pawn to protect the car! ”
If you want to add to the sin, you will frame, Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian!
Hearing Tang Yi's accusation, Hu Bin's face was blue, white, and red!
"What a cunning criminal, this official is honest and honest, how can he have an affair with the Japanese cowards. What's more, Lei Qi is tyrannical and impermanent, with a human face and a beast's heart, he can kill his wife, how can he give a big gift to this official! Hu Bin was furious and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, his gift list is simply forged, and his rhetoric is all deception." Criminals are sharp and cunning, if they don't need to be punished, I'm afraid they won't be recruited! ”
Hu Bin's face was sad and indignant, as if he had been wronged, Chen Menghe's face was gloomy, and he was shocked.
"Tang Yi, don't climb indiscriminately! If there is no evidence and no evidence, the people will sue the officials, but they will be severely punished! ”
"Old parents, students still have a reputation for showing talents, I, I'm going to sue Hu Bin!" Although Tang Xiucai couldn't keep up with his son's train of thought, he firmly guarded one point, that is, he couldn't let his son suffer.
If you can't sue the officials with the people, then I will sue Hu Bin with a show, there will be no problem.
"Makes sense." Chen Menghe was asked.
"Hmph, cousin, you can't be deceived by them, the criminal has no evidence at all, he dares to frame the lowly office, the lowly position thinks that he should leave the court immediately, put them in prison, and interrogate them well."
I want to end it, if I am taken to prison, then there is no place to die!
Tang Yi said angrily: "Qiqi old parents, now that the matter is over, I can't help but tell the truth. Hu Bin is indeed the behind-the-scenes instigator of Lei Qi, and the kid once helped Lei Qi settle accounts, of which seventy percent of the money Lei Qi earned from the Japanese Kou was handed over to Hu Bin! ”
Rumble!
A thunderbolt sounded in the hall, shaking everyone, Chen Menghe almost fell down, his eyes widened, and he gasped and asked, "Evidence, do you have evidence?" ”
"Yes, before Lei Qi was arrested, he gave the kid an account book!"
Chen Menghe's eyes were red, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”
"It's in the bamboo building of Liuhe Fort!"
"Why don't you bring it?"
"It's been burned!"
Poof, the old blood is vomiting all over the ground, damn it, don't make such a joke, it's like a novel chasing more every day, suddenly the eunuch, the depression at this time is even better than a thousand times! From Chen Menghe to the officials, they all snorted angrily, and suffered heavy internal injuries. I thought that Tang Yi could come up with any evidence and kill Hu Bin at once, but I didn't expect it to be burned, so what else to say!
It seems that this Tang prodigy has been driven crazy and started talking nonsense, and everyone shook their heads. Only Hu Bin felt a chill, and he also suspected that Lei Qi had given Tang Yi any evidence, but why did Tang Yi admit that he had been a widow and said that he had also taken the money from the widows?
He didn't die fast enough, or he wanted to pull himself into the water!
How can things that are nine out of ten things out of your control be out of your control?
Hu Bin's eyes rolled, and he stood up and said, "Hall, the prisoner is full of nonsense, obscuring his humble duties, and has sinister intentions. The lowly thought that it was better to be imprisoned and interrogated slowly. ”
Chen Menghe had a gloomy face, staring at the young people in the hall, a day ago, he was still wearing the aura of a prodigy, and he was regarded as a manufacturable material, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to be imprisoned. Chen Menghe does have a feeling of heartache, but he can't joke about his career, since he has something to do with the Japanese Kou, he must find out!
"Tang Yi, if you don't have evidence, this official can only retreat."
"Enlighten the old parents, although the kid's evidence has been burned, someone has seen the arsonist!" Tang Yi's face was full of strong confidence.
"The boy's landlord, Aunt Zhu, saw the two arsonists with her own eyes, and if my guess is correct, they should be hiding in Lord Hu's mansion. As long as the old parents promise to search the Hu Mansion, they will be able to find out the criminals, and they will know when the time comes! ”
"Oh! Are you so sure? Chen Menghe asked curiously.
"That's right, the kid is willing to vouch for his life, if he can't find out, the kid is willing to be punished. But if you don't search for Hufu, the kid won't be convinced! ”
After Tang Yi finished speaking, he touched his head to the ground and fell to the ground, and Tang Xiucai and Wu Tiancheng also followed and lay on the ground.
"This, what do you think of Judge Hu?"
If you want to search my home, how can you say it!
"Don't be surprised, the criminal is full of nonsense, and he can't listen to it!"
"Old parents, Hu Bin is a thief! His relationship with Hu Bin is deeper than that of the kid, his subordinates are closer than the kid, and his status is higher than that of the kid, if he colludes with the Japanese cowards, the harm will be even greater! For the safety of adults, for the safety of the people of Taicang, the kid implores the adults to be sure to search the Hu Mansion in order to convince people! Tang Yi roared frantically: "If Hu Bin still dares to stop him, he is a thief with a weak heart, or he wants to cover up, and there are criminals hidden in his mansion!" ”
"You talk nonsense!"
"You cowardice!"
"You're rambling!"
"You're framing it!"
……
"Enough!" Chen Menghe slapped the table and roared angrily: "Judge Hu, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." The Lei Qiyi case has always been handled by you, and you will inevitably not be able to convince the public. Let Tang Yi check it, if not, the official will ask him if the two crimes are one! ”
