Chapter 170 Jiangnan Scientific Expedition Case (4)

Although Cheng Guangkui said that he was not good at reading, he was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, and he was very proficient in intrigue and figuring out people's hearts, and his mind was extremely flexible. [-No pop-ups, permanent URL:,!]

As soon as he "touched" the taste, Cheng Guangkui was about to weigh it, and there was another "bang", this time it was Zhang Pengxi who slapped the shocked wood, and he also felt sorry in his heart, the headquarters didn't even ask the routine questioning, you just said a word to you, he said a word of-for-tat, and treated the court as a vegetable market?

Everyone here has been rolling in officialdom for half their lives, which one is not a human spirit, Cheng Guangkui can "touch" the taste, how can they not taste it? Zhang Pengxi's shot interrupted Cheng Guangkui's train of thought in time, and he didn't give him time to react, "Exile from the army, stand in the cage and leave the whole corpse, you choose one, do you want to recruit or not?" ”

Cheng Guangkui immediately sweated profusely, his heart was like frying, and he hesitated slightly, but Zhang Pengxi shouted: "Come on, stand in the cage and wait."

As soon as he heard the waiter in the cage, Cheng Guangkui was greatly panicked, and immediately said: "Recruit, the students are all recruited, the students are good friends with the magistrate of Shanyang County, and I heard that the name of the party is familiar with Zhao Jin, the deputy chief examiner, this subject, the name of the party was transferred to the house official, and the student gave 30,000 yuan in silver. After the student was drunk, he accidentally bragged about it, and several friends asked for help, but in desperation, he had to allow it, and a total of six people handed over the silver and the name of the party through my hand. ”

As soon as he heard Cheng Guangkui pour out beans, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh lightly, Zhang Pengxi was also very relaxed, but when he saw Yinzhen pointing out, he immediately understood, this is to ask him to take the hot iron and interrogate the next one, and immediately shouted: "Take the suspected fraud in the scientific examination, and the student Xu Zongxuan will go to the court."

As soon as Xu Zongxuan came to the court, he saw that Wu Mi was locked in a standing cage, without even a brick under his feet, and Cheng Guangkui was signing and drawing, and he understood everything when he arrived, a group of their wealthy businessmen's children gathered in Jiangning City, and it was common for them to brag to each other.

He was connected with Li Yutang of the Grain Daotai through Wu Liu, the magistrate of Liyang County, as for whether Li Yutang was looking for the main examiner or the deputy chief examiner, he didn't know, after he bribed the examiner to secretly communicate with the joint, there were a total of eight people, each of whom was 30,000 taels of silver.

Zhang Boxing was very angry when he heard this, these officials are really bold and reckless to the extreme, what is the difference between this and openly buying and selling people?

Zhang Pengxi was greatly excited, the two of them spoke continuously, this case is no longer difficult, but Yinzhen stared at Xu Zongxuan and asked: "Who did Wu Mi secretly connect the joints, do you know?"

When Xu Zongxuan heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, and he looked up at Yinzhen, and when Yinzhen saw that there was a play, he immediately said: "This king will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, I believe that there are many people who know, and even more people are willing to grab this credit."

When Xu Zongxuan heard this, he said without hesitation: "The student knows that he is with a person named Yu Shicheng."

Zhang Pengxi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "Take Wu Qin to the court."

Wu Qin was flailed for nearly half an hour, seeing that Cheng Guangkui and Xu Zongxuan had not come out, it was estimated that the two had confessed, and they couldn't help but regret it in their hearts, why bother to be this tough guy, and they were escorted to the lobby for the crime of this half an hour.

When I heard that the former governor of Anhui Ye Jiusi was pulled out, all the adults in the lobby were shocked, but thinking about such a huge amount of money involved, it was strange that no adults were involved.

Zhang Pengxi immediately picked up three fire sticks, "Come on, immediately arrest Yu Shicheng, Li Qi, and Li Yutang to the hall to reply." After several officers received the order, he said: "Take the official name and Wu Liu to the court."

Wu Liu Shangtang tried a little, and found out that Xu Zongxuan had confessed, he was happy, confessed to the matter of connecting Li Yutang for the Grain Daotai, and also gave a clear account of the 20,000 taels of thank you fee received.

Seeing this, Zhang Pengxi ordered to drag it down and hit twenty water and fire sticks, and then dragged it back, it would be much more honest, not only will he accept the silver two, and ask the deputy chief examiner Zhao Jin to explain the matter of secretly passing the joint, but also confessed to Chen Tianli, the magistrate of Jing County, and Tang Yuan, the magistrate of Xinghua County, who are the internal and external curtain officials of the Jiangnan examination room of this department.

There is a difference between the inner curtain officer and the outer curtain official during the township examination and the meeting examination, which are collectively referred to as curtain officials. The curtain official, because there is a door after entering the public hall, add a curtain to separate it, and enter the curtain later, called the inner curtain; Outside the curtain is an outer curtain. The chief examiner, deputy chief examiner and fellow examiner are in the inner curtain, and their main duties are to mark papers. The outer curtain is the residence of the officials who supervise the visit, the external promotion, the invigilator, the palm, the transcription, etc., and the officials of the outer curtain manage the affairs of the examination room.

When the chief examiner heard that even the inner and outer curtain officials were involved, they all "revealed" a sudden expression, no wonder this group of fraudulent students were all on the list, the deputy chief examiner, the room exam, and the curtain officer were all bribed, and so many people were involved just after the trial began, and I don't know how many others were not involved, and the officials in the entire examination room were only afraid that few were clean.

Seeing Zhang Pengxi shaking his head and sighing, Zhang Boxing, whose face was pale, couldn't help but shout: "Take the prisoners Chen Tianli and Chen Yuan to the court."

As soon as Chen Tianli and Tang Yuan were escorted up, they saw Fang Ming's buttocks and back covered in blood, and his face was immediately pale with fright.

As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately realized that this Chen Tianli was a key person, and they all cheered up, and Zhang Pengxi shouted in a deep voice: "Chen Tianli, are you willing to confess?"

Chen Tianli glanced at Fang Ming, who was lying on the ground, and sighed silently, thinking that he could survive for a few days, but he didn't think that it had only been half a day, and he had peeled off the bamboo shoots layer by layer on his head, and he had already known that he would have been hung with a rope, why should he be greedy for these few days, he couldn't afford this punishment, and he groaned slightly, and then he said: "The prisoner is willing to confess."

"If you are willing to confess, you will bring it truthfully, so that you will not suffer the pain of flesh and skin." Zhang Pengxi said in a deep voice.

Chen Tianli kowtowed, then got up and said: "The criminal officer and the deputy chief examiner Zhao Jin are in-laws, and this news has somehow leaked out, and there are countless people who come to ask for help." Speaking of this, his face was full of bitterness, and he paused before continuing: "There are friends, colleagues, and ...... who can't afford to be provoked."
