Chapter 227: Something Goes Wrong
"Lord Zhang, why are you so troubled, the matter has come to this, why do you still refuse to admit it? In my opinion, you should recruit it, and it will be good for everyone. Wei Hong stood in front of the dying Zhang Shu and said in a calm tone.
Zhang Shu opened his eyelids with difficulty and glanced at Wei Hong. Wei Hong is very famous both in the market and in the court, and Zhang Shu has also seen Wei Hong's true respect, so he knows Wei Hong. After seeing clearly that it was Wei Hong, Zhang Shu let out a sigh and said very weakly: "Mr. Wei, the old man doesn't know whether you were bewitched or deliberately framed. The old man only knows that he has never sent anyone to kill your surname. Since it is a non-existent thing, why should the old man admit it? ”
Hearing this, Wei Hong frowned slightly: "Master Zhang, now that the evidence is conclusive, you still have to argue." The two pieces of cloth that were left behind by the assassin came from your house. How can I act arbitrarily unless the evidence is conclusive? ”
Zhang Shu gasped, stared at Wei Hong's eyes, and said without a word: "Just two pieces of cloth, you can conclude that it is the old man's so-called, what is this not arbitrary?" There are so many people in the capital who use this fabric, why don't you doubt others, but suspect the old man? In the old man's opinion, your so-called evidence is not these two pieces of cloth at all, but something else! ”
Wei Hong didn't expect this Zhang Shu to be so shrewd, and he directly guessed Wei Hong's evidence, mainly relying on fabric, but Zhang Shu's previous work in the Ministry of Industry. The latter words can't be said explicitly, Wei Hong first sent out the jailers in the prison, and after only Wei Hong and Zhang Shu were left in the prison, Wei Hong said softly: "Lord Zhang, Wei Mou and ask you, have you ever served in the Ministry of Industry before?" Did the money for the construction of the dam and temple in Wu County go through your hands? ”
Zhang Shu, who was very decadent just now, suddenly came to his senses when he heard this. After a moment of silence, Zhang Shu seemed to think of something, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I never thought that Mr. Wei embarrassed the old man because of a corruption case in Wu County back then!" Dare to ask what is the relationship between Mr. Wei and Yan Siyi? ”
Wei Hong rolled his eyes and said casually: "It doesn't matter, Wei Mou acted like this, just to avenge the wronged soul who died in vain." At the beginning, Wu County built a dam temple and temple, and the huge amount of money spent was staggering. Later, when the matter was revealed, the two of you put the black cauldron on Yan Siyi's head, first arrested Yan Siyi, and then killed people, so that Yan Siyi could be convicted of the crime, and the two of you were at large. Yes and no?! ”
After listening to Wei Hong's words, Zhang Shu was stunned for a while, and after a while, he actually raised his head and laughed. When he laughed, he touched the wound, causing Zhang Shu to cough violently, and his face was as ugly as wax paper. After relieving himself, Zhang Shu said word by word: "What a Yan Siyi, the ability to demagogue people is really amazing!" Even if he has died in Huangquan, there are still people who smear his liver and brain. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Shu's voice stopped abruptly, looked at Wei Hong, and asked rhetorically: "Old man, let me ask you, how much do you know about the Wu Jun case?" How much do you know about Yan Siyi? ”
Being asked like this, Wei Hong was speechless. At first, I only listened to Yan Ruyu's one-sided words, plus a simple query about Yan Siyi's information, but other than that, I didn't know much about Wu Jun's case at all.
Seeing that Wei Hong was silent, Yan Siyi took a deep breath and said, "The old man doesn't know if you really care about the Wu Jun case, or if you deliberately framed the old man under the guise of this. But it doesn't matter if you know it, now you've achieved your goal. The old man was put in prison, and he jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash himself, and he would eventually be stabbed in vain. Just ask Mr. Wei to deal with the old man alone, don't embarrass the old man's family, the old man is here to thank you! ”
Wei Hong wilted, and involuntarily scolded in his heart, 'Damn, what's going on?' How did this case get more and more strange the deeper it went? Looking at Zhang Shu's indifferent expression before he died, as well as his indomitable perseverance in the face of criminal law, Wei Hong began to hesitate. After thinking about it for a short time, Wei Hong left the Criminal Department, first asking Comrade Lao Li not to torture Zhang Shu to extract a confession for the time being, and then went to the place where the Criminal Department had released the materials to check the details of the Wu Jun case.
According to Zhang Shu's original confession, it was Wu Jun's assassin history who reported to Zhang Shu, and it was Yan Siyi's son Yan Bancheng who told Wu Jun's assassin history that Yan Siyi was corrupt. When Wei Hong checked the information in the household department, it was clearly written that Yan Bancheng was co-located because of Yan Siyi's corruption case. If it is really Yan Bancheng's righteous killing of relatives and making his father's criminal evidence public, it stands to reason that he should make up for his mistakes and avoid joint sitting. And if it is really Zhang Shu and Wu Jun's assassin Shi who are embarrassed and frame Yan Siyi, then they must have communicated with Yan Siyi's son in advance, and after the matter is completed, they will kill people and kill them, just kill Yan Siyi, why should they also kill Yan Bancheng? After all, Yan Bancheng provided Yan Siyi's incriminating evidence, which can make up for the merits, and there is no need to commit suicide at all, if Zhang Shu kills Yan Bancheng in order to kill people, it will be self-defeating and cause unnecessary suspicion. The difference between the information of the household department and the criminal department is the first suspicion that Wei Hong discovered.
Later, Wei Hong found that although Zhang Shu was responsible for the construction of the dam and temple, he was already in the capital when he was serving in the Ministry of Industry, and under the supervision of all levels, he had no chance to start with the money. After it was distributed to Wu County, after the Wu County Assassin Shi counted the amount, he registered it and reported it to the imperial court, and there was no chance to do it. On the contrary, Yan Siyi, as a different driver, has a lot more possible surnames. Things have progressed to this point, and whether Yan Siyi is a clean official or a corrupt official has begun to become blurred.
The last suspicion is that after Yan Siyi died, he did not find the embezzled money in Yan Siyi's home. It stands to reason that this should wash away Yan Siyi's suspicion, but in fact, this only makes Wei Hong even more confused. If Yan Siyi is a Qing official, Zhang Shu will definitely secretly send a certain amount of money into Yan's house in order to make the play more realistic, and then let the officers and soldiers search it out. This kind of unreasonable phenomenon made Wei Hong begin to wonder what Yan Ruyu's motive for coming to him was! Is it really for Yan Siyi's revenge? Or do you have other plans?
