Yue Su didn't give any answer to Zhou Yingqiu's shouting at all, and the messenger Tong Yang didn't hear it, and he should do what he should do according to Yue Su's instructions

Taking Wei Guang down, Yue Su looked at the other four under the stairs, pointed to the one named Xu Chang and asked, "Your name is Xu Chang?" ”. Z

"Lord Hui, exactly." The middle-aged man named Xu Chang said

"What is your relationship with Lord Wei?"

"Lord Wei is the brother-in-law of the villain," Xu Chang responded.

"What is your business?"

The Venerable Master was in the jewelry business.

"It's a very profitable business. Just now, Lord Wei said that all the jewels in his house were stored there by you, is this true? Yue Su asked again

"It's true." Waiting for Chang said.

"Then why did you leave so much jewelry with him?"

"The Venerable Master has been traveling from south to north for 20 years, specializing in buying and selling jewelry, and now that he is old and unable to run, he plans to settle down and open a jewelry store in Beijing. I received a lot of goods before, rushed to the capital, and prepared to redeem the shop, who wanted the store to be difficult to find, so far I haven't found it. The Venerable Master did not dare to keep so many jewels with him, lest there be some accidents, so he stored them in his sister's place.

It is expected that he is the second assistant of the imperial court, and no one will dare to go to him to rob him. Xu Chang said.

"Those jewels and ornaments are all yours, and you can remember what they are in them, so you can tell them in front of the court, so that the department can check them." The forbidden army had already registered the details of the family property of the convicts and handed them over to Yue Su and the other three presiding judges. Yue Su now asked someone to take the account books, just waiting for Xu Changfen to speak.

Xu Chang was not in a hurry, he opened his mouth and came, "Six pieces of coral, twenty-eight pieces of jade, four hundred and sixty pearls, and four pearls of the night......." ”

Yue Su had this account book in his hand, and Zhou Yingqiu also had a copy in his hand, and he secretly copied it, handed it to Wei Gonggong, and then transferred it to Xu Chang's hands Xu Chang memorized it by rote, just waiting to see the confrontation in the court.

After hearing Xu Changfen's words, Yue Su laughed and said, "Xu Chang, do you know how much these jewels are worth?" ”

"The villain bought the goods, and it cost more than 100,000 taels, if these things are sold on the market, they are worth at least 400,000 taels, or even more." Xu Chang said with a smile.

This guy spoke quite well, Yue Su nodded and said: "The capital of the purchase is more than 100,000 taels, where did you get so much silver?" ”

"The villain has been in business for 20 years, wandering everywhere in the south and north, and often risking the low-cost jewelry collected in the south to be sold in Mobei, in order to make huge profits and then collect some leather goods in Mobei and pull horses to the Central Plains to sell. Now that the villain's years of blood and sweat have all been seized, I hope that the adult will conclude the case as soon as possible, and return my brother-in-law's innocence "The Venerable Master's goods can also be returned to Zhao, otherwise ......, alas" ......, in the end, Xu Chang also sighed deliberately.

It is said that you are going to the south and the north to do business, and it is not impossible to tell the truth from the false, where you have received the goods, where you have sold the goods, you can send someone to visit. But such a toss, not to mention the waste of time, Wei Guangwei still has the East Factory behind him, it is estimated that you will send someone to check on the front foot, and the back foot of the East Factory will be able to arrive first and make things round for you.

Therefore, Yue Su didn't intend to waste that time, nodded and said: "Since you are in business, you want to have account books, and take all the account books that you have been operating over the years to the headquarters to see." ”

"If you go back to your lordship, the Venerable Master is doing business all over the world, inside and out, inside and out, unlike the business of a shop, where you need to register and make accounts, so there are no accounts." But because this is a store in Beijing, I put the goods prepared this time in the account, and I knew that when the adults passed the hall, they might want to see it, so I brought it over. After Xu Chang finished speaking, he took out a ledger from his arms.

"Bring it in."

Yue Su gave an order, and an errand officer stepped forward to take the account book, and before presenting it to the public case, Yue Su stretched out his hand to take it and took a brief look. put it aside and said, "The confession you gave is all true?" ”

"All of your words are true."

"The headquarters Tang Zhouzhou also reminded Wei Guang that if he dares to commit perjury in court, he must be sentenced to a reduced sentence compared with the same defendant, you have also heard this, if you lie, you will be found out by the headquarters, and then the headquarters will blame the headquarters for ruthless law enforcement."

"The villain knows that if there is half a lie, he is willing to be implicated." Xu Chang replied solemnly. Listening to his tone, it was as if what he said was all true.

"Let him sign and draw:"

Pretending to be mature and naïve

Squire of the Criminal Department

6

2nd floor

The clerical office took the recorded confession to Xu Chang to sign and draw, and after the painting was finished, Xu Chang's treatment was the same as Wei Guang's, and he was also sent to prison by the servants. But this time, Zhou Yingqiu didn't say much. He also knew that no matter what he said, it was equivalent to saying it in vain, so he just watched first. Look at how much magic you Yue Su can have. After these days of preparation, Wei Guangwei and other prisoners, together with those witnesses, have made a good confession under the planning of Wei's father-in-law. You must know that with Gonggong Wei's current behavior, if you want to shoot a few people into the prison of the Criminal Department, it is not the same as walking through the city gate.

Yue Su was still unhurried, and patiently interrogated the other three people under the boat. The method of asking is the same, first asking about the relationship with Wei Guangwei, and then asking what kind of business they do, how much they earn in a year, and how much silver they have saved in Wei Lu.

Wei Guangwei's cousin Yin Chaobei claimed to be the owner of the Qinglou, with an annual income of 200,000 taels, and a total of four years of operation, with a total income of 800,000 taels, including 30,000 taels of gold and 500,000 taels of silver. Wei Guangwei's nephew Guo Jing said that he was in the tea business, and he could earn 80,000 taels of silver a year, and he worked for a total of five years, earning a total of 400,000 taels of silver, which was also deposited in the Wei family, including 200,000 taels of silver and 20,000 taels of gold. The other is named Wei Guangye, who is Wei Guangwei's cousin, doing antiques, calligraphy and painting business, his confession is similar to Xu Chang, he was also wandering all over the world back then, and now he is old, and he plans to settle down in the capital and open a storefront. I received a lot of goods before, but I didn't find a store for the time being, so I could only store them in Wei Mansion. This antique calligraphy and painting business, the income is even more difficult to check, jewelry, ornaments still have a clear price, antique calligraphy and painting how to have a price, casually he said that he has sold for a lot of money, you can't find a buyer, you can't check.

Let these three people also sign and draw the charge, and all of them were put in prison, Yue Su analyzed, thinking that if he wanted to open the gap from Xu Chang and Wei Guangye, it would be slightly difficult to investigate, and he still had to start from the other three. This and the case, they don't need to confess to each of them, as long as a breakthrough is opened, the punishment can be moved, and the case will be solved.

Yue Su thought about the countermeasures and said, "Mention Wei Guangwei to the court." ”

After a while, an errand officer brought Wei Guangwei to the hall, from the prison of the Criminal Department to the lobby of the Criminal Department, the distance is not long, it is not short, Wei Guangwei is not young, he was tossed again, and after going to the court, it is inevitable that he will be a little breathless.

Yue Su Ke Wei said politely, and then asked, "Lord Wei, just now after the headquarters invited you to the hall, I forgot to ask a question. That is, how much gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings have been stored in your mansion by your five relatives? ”

These things are all right, during the first few interrogations, Wei Guangwei also said that now he is familiar with the road, and he said it again, how can it not match what the five said.

"Lord Wei, are you sure?" Yue Su asked with a smile.

"Of course." Wei Guangwei said firmly.

"Lord Wei, the laws of the imperial court, the rules in the yamen, I think you also know, the confession is true, it must not be changed, before the signature is signed, if there is any mistake, it can be corrected now." Yue Su said loudly.

"Nope." Wei Guangwei shook his head.

"You have to figure out whether it's true or not, or if it's false. Regarding this issue, if there are omissions or deviations in the future, this department may regard your false confession in court and will investigate it to the end. Yue Su said coldly.

...... this, Wei Guangwei thought about it for a while, and thought that there was no flaw, so he nodded. He affirmed, "Nothing is missing, it's all true." ”

"Then if it is found out that there is a fake in the future, what should my lord do?" Yue Su's face showed a smile again.

"If it's fake, it's up to the adults to fall." Wei Guangwei said solemnly.

"Good! Come on, let Master Wei sign and draw, and write that sentence on it. ”

Yue Su gave an order, and the clerical office stepped forward to ask Wei Guangwei to sign and draw, and Wei Guangwei was also gone. stick, really according to Yue Su's meaning, wrote the sentence on it, "All the confessions are true, if there is a falsehood, it will be relied upon." ”

With Wei Guangwei's signature, Yue Su asked the messenger to take him back into prison. Subsequently, the arraignment of other convicts began.

Zhu Yanxi, a scholar of the Cabinet University and secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Ding Shaoshi, a scholar of the Cabinet University, and Feng Yu, a scholar of the Ministry of Industry......

These people were brought to the court one by one, just like interrogating Wei Guangwei, and Yue Su questioned them one by one. The answer of these people is the same: the gold and silver were earned by relatives and deposited with them; Jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there are relatives who want to come to the capital to open jewelry stores, antique shops, but they have not found a store for the time being, so they are stored.

However, not every family has relatives who want to open jewelry stores and antique shops, and those who have less jewelry and antiques will say that their relatives want to move and store them temporarily. But the gold and silver in the house have no two words, and they are all the same reason.

Yue Su asked them to sign and draw the charge one by one, and he also took all the relatives who were "doing business" to the court, checked them one by one, and then signed and put them in prison.

This whole day was spent in the interrogation, in fact, the content that Yue Su asked had already been asked in the previous classes, and there seemed to be no tricks. Zhou Yingqiu, the eunuch official of the Three Law Divisions, couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw Yue Su trying the case like this, and secretly thought, everyone in the world said that Yue Su judged the case like a god, comparable to the blue sky, and when I saw it today, it was nothing more than that. Who wouldn't know how to judge the law like this, and it seems that it is just in vain:

After retreating from the hall, Yue Su said that he went back to his house and returned to Shuntian Mansion, he did not go to the back hall to read the official documents, and he did not go to Mu Tianjiao, and he did not go to visit his mother-in-law, but went directly to Li Qiongying's side.

Because, there is a man waiting for him.
