Chapter 129: The Unjust Case Revealed
After Yue Su's thunderous methods, Su Xiong and Huang You confessed one after another. The two of them took the lead in confessing, coupled with the lessons of the two who died, which of the remaining people dared to be stubborn, and one by one they followed the fight to confess the guilt, and confessed all the evil things that the Xu family let them do.
These are the evil servants who did it in front, some of them have not yet been taken to the court, and many of them belong to the beaters, but they saw that the general trend was gone at that time, and they did not dare to make a move, but they were still arrested by the officers and soldiers. Because there were more than 20 people in the hall, the number of evil servants who came out was obviously not right, so Yue Su asked people to bring all the people behind them and check them one by one.
All the evil servants were testified, and the unrelated maids, mothers-in-law, and servants were escorted back, and the rest of the people continued to confess. This newcomer to the church, seeing the corpse in the hall, and having his own people testifying, where do he dare not recruit. At the moment, he honestly told the evil things he did in the Xu family. However, there is just no explanation, and he has died Chu Bo and Gao Xiang.
Yue Su saw that no one said this, and he was not in a hurry, he just asked these evil servants to sign and draw a pledge, and then all of them were escorted. After everyone went down, he looked at Xu Rong, sneered, and said, "Xu Rong, you have also heard their confessions, what do you have to say?" If you are not convinced, the Governor can find a few of those sufferers, but at that time, if you confess again, it will be too late, and the Governor will surely live worse than die. ”
At this time, Xu Rong knew that he had no way to deny it, dozens of people had confessed, and there was no need to find a bitter master, and the confession alone could kill him. Everything was directed by himself, and Lai couldn't get rid of it, not to mention the thunderous power of Lord Yue just now, which had already scared him to the core. He knelt on the ground, nodded, and said, "My lord, what they said is true, these things are all dictated by the small people. ”
"Since it's recruited, it's fine. Tell me for yourself, what crime do you have to be sentenced for these crimes you committed? Yue Su said.
"There is only one death." Xu Rong replied.
"You know." Yue Su smiled slightly and said, "You can't escape the capital crime, but how to die is not what you say, it depends on what the governor says." If you know each other, the Governor will give you a happy one, and he will directly slap you with a dog's head, but if you don't know each other, the Governor will give you an unhappy one, and first give you the punishment here one by one, and then Ling Chi, and finally behead you. Say, what kind of death do you want? ”
"It's still fun." Horizontal and vertical are all one death, who doesn't want to die a happy death, being tortured to death, those sins suffered, how many people can bear it.
"Well, Ben Governor gives you a chance. Ben Du now asks you, did you tell Chu Bo and Gao Xiang that you told people to die? Yue Su asked.
"This ......" Xu Rong hesitated and turned his head to look at Xu Xiangzhi.
Yue Su understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, your lord Yinzi is also difficult to protect himself." If he hadn't told you where you were hiding, Ben would have found you. Moreover, now their confessions are all implicated in you and your lord's son, both of you are the same, and you can't escape one death. It's useless for you to cover it up for him now, just one more crime, or one less crime. However, in terms of sentencing, it will not be affected. ”
Xu Rong thought about it, it was also the truth, his hiding place, the people who stayed in the Huzhou mansion now, no one knew, and all the people who knew were brought over by him. The only one left to know is Xu Xiangzhi. The old Yinye has been recruited, and he still has nothing to be tough, not to mention that now, whether he recruits or not, both of them are capital crimes.
Thinking of this, Xu Rong nodded and said, "It's true that the villain lives someone to die." ”
"Why did you want to kill them?" Yue Su asked.
"That day, after my old Yinye was invited away by adults, only Chang Daren left from Xingyuan, and he came to our house at night and told us about the detention of our old Yinye. At that time, he mentioned that Lord Yue had asked my old Yinye about the case of Cheng Zhongwei, the former prefect of Huzhou. The villain thought to himself, is it because the adult is to overturn the case for Cheng Zhongwei, so he detained our old Yinye. However, I did not send anyone to do it immediately, and after hesitating for a long time, I did it, sent someone to his house to kill him, and then intimidated their families. Xu Rong said.
"According to what you say, Cheng Zhongwei's case back then was wronged." Yue Su said.
"It's really wronged." Xu Rong said.
"What a grievance, you can talk about it now." Yue Su said.
"Here's the thing, back then, my old Yinye was sued by the bitter lord for robbing men and women and killing people. That Huzhou prefect Cheng Zhongwei is very upright, and directly arrested our old Yinye into the prefect's yamen, in order to save the life of the head of the family, I just waited to send silver to Cheng Zhongwei. Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhongwei didn't give any face, he was determined to make the decision for the surname Baiyin and put my old Yinye to death. Seeing that I couldn't buy Lao Yinye's life with money, I had no choice but to ask for help, after all, our Xu family is also a famous family in Huzhou, and there is a lot of silver in the family. But Cheng Zhongwei is a prefect after all, and if he wants to get people out of him, even if he finds an official who is bigger than him, it may not be useful. I went to Xu Yaoke, the governor of Zhejiang at the time, and offered 20,000 taels of silver, but he didn't accept it. Seeing that I was desperate, I met a person by chance, this person is Yin Shangjie, the imperial history of Zhejiang Province. A royal history is not a fat difference, and naturally there is no silver on hand, but I have heard that this Yin Yushi is also a person who likes vassal elegance, and he doesn't have much, but he always likes to go to the land of fireworks. When I learned about this, I came up with an idea that harmed others and myself, and planned to buy him and join Cheng Zhongwei. Yu Shi, he was originally a ginseng, and if he was wrong, it didn't matter, give him a sum of silver, and he wouldn't be happy to do things for me. In fact, as I expected, I summoned Yin Shangjie to the door, explained my intentions, and expressed my willingness to pay 1,000 taels of silver for him to help me participate in Cheng Zhongwei. At that time, I didn't know what he thought, but why did I do this, how could I tell him about Lao Yinye's arrest. But he said, "If I don't tell him, he won't take the money, and he won't help, so I'll ask another master." I wanted to leave, but when I put away the money, I saw a hint of reluctance in his eyes, and I immediately understood that he needed it very much. So, I did it again, told him what happened, and even told him about the matter of begging Xu Yaoke, the governor of Zhejiang. Yin Shangjie listened to my story, and he was actually happy, he said that if I was willing to spend money, he could not only help me participate in Cheng Zhongwei, but also think of ways to rescue Lao Yinye. Our Xu family, I don't dare to say that the rich side is not short of silver, two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, that can be taken out, I asked him, what is the way, money is not a problem. He said that in three years, the Qing prefect had 100,000 snowflakes of silver, and if he wanted to bring down a prefect, he had to make a dot on the upper and lower Yin, and there was no more than 100,000 taels of silver, which was a fantasy. He also said that the reward for him alone would be 20,000 taels. I said yes, and he came up with a way for me. First of all, he impeached Cheng Zhongwei for embezzlement and bribery, and disregarded human life; After the excerpt was handed to Chaoyinting, Chaoyinting really received the decree and asked the governor of Zhejiang to thoroughly investigate the matter. I took this opportunity to send 50,000 taels of silver to Xu Yaoke, and when Xu Yaoke saw such a large sum of money, he accepted it, and secretly mentioned it to me, asking me to send some more silver to the Zhejiang envoy, otherwise he would not be able to do it alone. I also sent 40,000 taels of silver to the Zhejiang envoys, and when they took the silver, they began to help. Lord Cheng is also too incorruptible, he has never dealt with anyone, and no one spoke for him, and the case was settled, and the governor of Zhejiang and the envoy of the procuratorate, as well as the officials sent by the Beiyin Kyoto Procuratorate were tried together. I asked Yin Shangjie to help open the way, and sent 40,000 taels of silver to the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When the envoy of the governor's yamen searched the backyard of the prefect's yamen, he planted a dirt on Cheng Zhongwei again, and I secretly bought Chu Bo and Gao Xiang to let them frame Cheng Zhongwei, saying that he had been crushed to death by a prisoner in the prison room by his lord Yin. In fact, this prisoner, that prisoner, was actually sick and died in prison. The superficial evidence is conclusive, Cheng Zhongwei was sentenced to death by Yin, and the female dependents of his family were also sent to the Department of Education. And the person who sued my old Yinye at the beginning was also killed by us. It can be said that after the case was over, I knew why that Yin Yushi wanted to help me, it turned out that he was in a hurry to redeem himself for a pink Yintou. ”
Xu Rong 1510 will tell the whole story of framing Cheng Zhongwei in the first place. After listening to this, Yue Su said with a smile: "I didn't expect that a dignified prefect would be framed and killed by you shameless people." By the way, Ben Du suddenly thought of a question now, why didn't you kill Chu Bo and Gao Xiang to kill Yinkou in the first place? ”
"Don't hide it from my lord, of course I want to kill the two of them, but these two boys are very cunning, guessing that I might kill them and kill Yinkou, but instead took the initiative to come to the door and told me that I want to kill them, and I can do it now, but after killing them, I will bear the consequences. They have already told their friends about this matter, and their friends have already hidden, as long as a person dies, they will write this matter into a notice and secretly post it all over the streets and alleys of Beiyin Jingyin City. I saw that they were prepared, so I had to give them another sum of money to appease them. Because they were ordered by Cheng Zhongwei to crush the prisoners to death, although they were meritorious in reporting, they were also dismissed from their posts. For this reason, they asked me to help them return to the yamen, and this matter is over, I don't expect that no one will mention it again, and it is not bad to have the two of them in prison as my insider. Soon after, I paid them back for an errand with the new prefect, and a few years later, they were promoted to cell heads. It can be said that no adult detained my old Yinye, and when I mentioned this matter, I would not kill them and destroy Yinkou. At that time, they actually wanted to run, but I knew that once they ran, it would be even more obvious. And God knows if I will be caught by adults, and it is estimated that I will not need to be punished by Yin, and I will be able to confess, it is better to die, which is safer. After all, so many years have passed, and I have already found out about his friend's affairs, but it is just a trick to fool people and indulge in it.
