Chapter 168: The First Case in the World

Zhang Pengxi is also the first time to hear that there are such gunmen who have been trained since the county test, it is really unheard of, appalling, and he "groaned" for a long time, before he ordered the two to be imprisoned, and the two proprietors were arrested. [-No pop-ups, permanent URL:,!]

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Pengxi ordered the ten qualified students to be released, and the remaining 30 or so students were all separated on the spot and detained separately in Yangzhou Fuxue, and ordered the soldiers to be strictly guarded and tried again tomorrow.

A group of officials also saluted Yinzhen and Zhang Pengxi to leave, and seeing that the two of them had no intention of leaving, they dispersed in twos and threes with their own thoughts.

After everyone dispersed, Zhang Pengxi turned around and waved to Yinzhen and said, "What else does the prince command?"

"In order to prevent long nights and dreams, additional personnel were sent to interrogate a group of fraudulent students overnight." Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Just study in the house, don't be afraid of torture, if you are a fool, you can't survive at all, after getting a confession, you will return to the general overnight, but you must not kill anyone, and those examiners must also take strict precautions to prevent 'suicide' for fear of crime."

As soon as he heard the overnight interrogation, Zhang Pengxi was a little relieved, Yinzhen wanted to put aside the three Kali and interrogate them alone, the risk of this matter was great, Kangxi ordered him to investigate thoroughly with the three Kali tried, and if the trial was good, if there were three long and two short, how could Kali and the others give up? At that time, a charge of disrespecting the will will be firmly placed on the head.

Thinking of this, Zhang Pengxi couldn't help but say worriedly: "Lord Wang, this is Yangzhou, we are not familiar with the place, even if we are interrogated in the Fuxue, I am afraid that they will not be able to hide the three of Kali, Zhang Boxing, and Liang Shixun, if they take advantage of the topic to play or take the opportunity to make things difficult, it is very likely that this trial will be messed up."

As soon as he heard this, Yinzhen was also silent, if Kali and the other three used this as an excuse to withdraw from the trial, or impeach Zhang Pengxi, it would be really a trouble, after a little thought, he said: "Jiangsu Governor Zhang Boxing, is an honest official, upright, and has always had a good relationship with you, let's use the excuse that there are people who buy the guards to confess privately, so they were suddenly interrogated overnight, and the first person called Zhang Boxing, so it is not a separate trial, and then the person is sent to inform Kali and Liang Shixun, they don't come at will, even if they come, they are almost tried." What does Yunqing think? ”

Zhang Pengxi was secretly happy in his heart, the fourteenth master's officialdom was becoming more and more familiar, he bowed down and said: "This plan is very good, but the school is neither a prison nor a public court, and those students also have meritorious reputations, and they are punished in vain, and it is easy to teach the truth, and it will not be able to cover it up tomorrow, and please think twice."

"Okay, then don't punish you." Yinzhen said quickly: "A group of straw bales, if they don't move, they will still be scared to death, arrange a few personal guards, and fake torture outside, so that they can scream miserably, and the effect is exactly the same."

This is not a good way, Zhang Pengxi said with a smile: "The prince will go back to rest for the time being, and the lower officials will arrange it."

Yinzhen went back to dinner, after dark, Shi Shiran rushed to the house, as soon as he entered the gate, he ordered to leave twenty people to assist the guards to guard the gate, and did not allow idle people to approach.

At this time, in the Yuxian Workshop on the east and west sides of the school, Zhang Pengxi had already arranged for the officials to start the interrogation, and Yinzhen didn't want to disturb them, so he brought someone to check around.

A group of fraudulent students, all of whom are rich salt merchants, born in the family of eunuchs, have been pampered since childhood, and they are already worried and uneasy when they are locked up in the government school alone, and they are even more shocked when they are brought to interrogate at night, and before they can be interrogated, there is a muffled sound of sticks hitting meat in their ears, followed by extremely miserable screams.

The interrogated student was immediately frightened and frightened, and the two streams of millet could not hold back the wolf-like servant and Goshha's bluffing, and immediately poured beans into the bamboo tube, and explained everything he had done and what he knew, for fear of being dragged outside and suffering from the flesh and skin.

When Zhang Boxing rushed to the school, he heard the miserable scream, and his face sank, what happened to Zhang Zhongtang? Not only did he try it in private, but he also lynched a group of people? This matter spreads out, but it greatly damages the reputation, do you want to wade into this troubled water? His pace slowed suddenly.

"Master Zhang came just in time to catch up with a good show." Yinzhen walked leisurely.

Seeing that it was Yinzhen, Zhang Boxing bowed down and said, "The lower official has seen the prince." Straightening up, he frowned again and asked, "This cry is terrible, but someone is being tortured?"

Yinzhen said disapprerovingly: "My guards made mistakes, and they are receiving military law, so Master Zhang doesn't have to worry."

Hearing that it was not the students who were being tortured, Zhang Boxing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help asking: "......What does the prince mean by the good show?"

"Zhang Zhongtang is now Minglun Hall, Master Zhang come with me." Yinzhen walked forward as he spoke, but he was secretly proud in his heart, since Zhang Boxing came tonight and mixed in, he could be regarded as marking the Fourteenth Party on his forehead.

Minglun Hall, Zhang Pengxi looked at the confession sent with a solemn expression, and when he heard that Yinzhen and Zhang Boxing were coming, he got up and took two steps forward, and after the three of them saluted, Yinzhen asked: "Zhang Zhongtang is a harvest?"

"Go back to the prince." Zhang Pengxi said: "At this time, the tip of the iceberg is already terrifying, the first batch of eight people has been tried, and seven of them were bought with silver, 30,000 taels each, Jiangnan is really rich in the world."

Zhang Boxing was startled when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "Thirty thousand taels to buy a lifter?"

"It's not unusual." Yinzhen said lightly: "Now that the four seas are in their lives, the treasury is sufficient, and there is no opportunity to donate officials at all, 30,000 taels to buy a lifter, and then spend 20,000 taels to make up for a fat shortage, but in a few years, the 50,000 taels have been earned back with interest, which is a profitable business." Besides, if there is not enough temptation, how can those officials take risks? The Ding Youke field case in the hands of the grandfather of the world, but the killing was rolling, and there were countless officials who were beheaded and confiscated, and countless officials were dismissed and exiled, and it has only been more than 50 years, and it has made a comeback. ”

Seeing that Yinzhen's words involved the leniency of the rulers and Kangxi, Zhang Pengxi and Zhang Boxing did not dare to answer, Zhang Boxing calculated in his heart, the number of detainees is thirty-one, 30,000 each, that is 900,000 taels, not to mention 700,000 or 800,000 taels, he was taken aback by this number, how many officials are involved? It is never an exaggeration to say that it is the first case in the world. Thinking of this, a face immediately turned white, and the Jiangnan officialdom was about to be shocked again.
