Chapter 58 is very implicated

As soon as he heard that Zhang Miaoshou had made dozens of accounts recently, Yue Su immediately asked someone to show him all the account books that had been submitted. When dozens of accounts were piled up in front of Zhang Miao's hand, this guy was stupid. Immediately, he hurriedly kowtowed and cried loudly: "My lord...... What a wrong...... I really don't know if these things are used in court...... I hope that your adult will spare your life......"

In doing so, he admits that he has forged all the books. This time, Yue Su was very happy, and said: "Your matter, let the rear ministry come to a good place, if you are honest, the ministry can give you extrajudicial favors, and even not pursue you." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you...... People must be honest......" After hearing this, Zhang Miao's heart was hanging in his hand, and he kowtowed again and again.

Yue Su didn't pay any more attention to him, and said loudly at the moment: "Bring Xu Chang, Wei Guangye, Wei Chaobei, and Guo Jing all to the court!" ”

The messenger was ordered to go, and after a while, he took Xu Chang and the four to the court. After the four of them went to the hall, they saw so many people kneeling in the hall, and they were quite puzzled, maybe they were also thieves, and when Wei Guang was seriously injured and lying on the ground, they couldn't help but tremble.

"The people are knocking to see the adults...... "The heart is empty, and the four of them still knelt on the ground together and kowtowed to Yue Su.

Yue Su had a cold face and said, "Pull the four of them aside, and each of them will be heavily responsible for forty boards!" ”

As soon as they came up, they started fighting without asking a word, and the four of Xu Chang hurriedly shouted: "My lord...... Wronged...... We are not guilty...... I don't know why the adults beat us......"

Zhou Yingqiu was also a little anxious, and asked out loud: "Lord Yue, the prisoner has just been brought to court, and he didn't ask a word, why did he want to be punished first?" ”

"Didn't you hear what Wei Guang and Zhang Wenduo said just now? In the public court, he presented jiāo perjury, and accused them of forty, which is already light! Left and right are still stunned, call me! ”

The two messengers just walked to Xu Chang's side, and when they heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, dragged the four of them to a spacious place, pressed them to the ground, and beat them when they mentioned it. When the forty boards went down, the four people who beat them also cried for their fathers and mothers, begged for mercy repeatedly, and shouted for injustice, but no matter how they shouted, it was useless, and it was not until the forty boards were finished that the messenger dragged them back.

Yue Su looked at the four of them and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what crime the four of them have committed?" ”

"The people have been wronged...... I really don't know what crime I committed......" The four of them continued to pretend to be stupid, gritting their teeth and crying together.

So far, Yue Su saw that they still hadn't confessed, and he was even more angry in his heart, and shouted: "Pull it again, and then the rod will be forty." If you don't recruit again, you will change the clamp stick and wait! ”

The errand officers who had just started had no time to retreat, and when they heard this, they stepped forward again to pull the four of them. This time, the four of them completely collapsed, from Yue Su's previous words, they seemed to realize what Yue Su already knew, but if they were asked to confess immediately, they would be a little unwilling.

Wei Guang, gritting his teeth, shouted in a weak voice: "I have already recruited here, and even Zhang Miaoshou, who forged accounts, has been escorted, don't be tortured, suffer the senseless pain, confess it......"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Chang and the four of them immediately understood that this was Wei Guang's move. This kind of case, as long as it is torn from one place, is equivalent to a rout on the whole front. The four of them could no longer deny it, so they could only say resignedly: "Recruit ......"

Jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, and silver have nothing to do with them, and what jewelry shops, antique shops, gambling houses, "brothels", and tea houses are all fake, just to exonerate Wei Guangwei, and now make them up. The four of them all confessed, Yue Su asked them to sign and draw the charge, and after the painting was finished, he ordered Wei Guangwei to be brought to the court.

The second assistant is the second assistant, and after going to the court, he also looks arrogant, of course, no one dares to ask him to kneel. However, when he arrived at Wei Guang, Xu Chang and others after being tortured, he was also beating drums in his heart, but he still maintained a calm posture.

Yue Su arched his hand at Wei Guangwei and said, "Lord Wei, let's meet again." ”

"Lord Toyue's blessing, the old man's is very. Today, the old man is in court, I don't know what to say? Wei Guangwei said unceremoniously.

"Naturally, it's about Lord Wei's public case." Yue solemnized, made a gesture at the clerk's office in his hand, and said, "Read Wei Guang's confession to Lord Wei." ”

"Yes, sir." The clerk got up, first recited Wei Guang's confession, and then began to read Xu Chang and others.

Even if Wei Guangwei was calm, when he listened to the confessions, he was still in a cold sweat.

When the confession was all read, Yue Su said with a light smile: "Lord Wei, after listening to this, you have something to think." ”

Wei Guangwei said calmly: "Hmph! It's just a trick. ”

"Do they succumb?". Yue Su sneered: "Wei Guang, Xu Chang and others forged account books in Zhang Miao's hands, and dared to present them in the court, this crime alone is at least enough for them to fill the army in Liaodong." Now the punishment is small, which can be regarded as an extrajudicial favor. They also bribed Dajin gambling houses and other trading shops, intending to commit perjury in court, and if the two crimes were punished together, even if the torture instruments in the lobby of our criminal department were to be dealt with again, it would be light. ”

At this point, Yue Su stared at Wei Guangwei tightly and said, "Lord Wei, where did the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house come from, please make it clear." ”

It's all up to this, Wei Guangwei also knows that it is useless to deny it again, and he is at least a person with status, and he will not make such futile quibbles like market scoundrels after all, because he knows that doing so is just self-inflicted humiliation.

"I'll do it!" Wei Guangwei hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

At that moment, he told the origin of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings without concealment. Where did the things come from, of course, they were obtained by bribery. As a second assistant, Wei Zhongxian's right-hand man, there are naturally not a few people who befriend him. Yes, after the fall of the Donglin Party, Wei Guangwei was very popular, and there were many people who paid bribes like cows.

Who has bribed him, because there are too many people, and he himself is even a little unclear, so he has to give some major ones, and he gives more money. As for some households, they are only recorded in the accounts, and the accounts are placed in the secret compartment of the study.

Yue Su ordered Tie Qiu to immediately go to the Wei Mansion with a fire sign to find the account, and when the account was taken, after Yue Su turned it over, it was inevitable that he would be shocked. There are too many officials who have paid bribes, and there are not many officials in Beijing, who are all local officials, from political envoys and envoys to prefects and prefectures. The amount also varies, with tens of thousands of taels for more and thousands of taels for less. Among them, two Huai salt envoys were the officials who paid the most bribes, amounting to 100,000 taels.

For three years, the Qing prefect has 100,000 snow huā silver, which is the second assistant for nearly a year, and he can earn millions of taels. It can be seen that how big an official is, how much money he makes.

Looking at this account, Yue Su was embarrassed. There are hundreds of officials recorded on it, and it's just Wei Guangwei's case, if you find out all the cases of Feng Quan's gang, how many officials must be there.

As soon as this case is poked up, it will shake the world, and it is not an exaggeration. How to deal with it, wait for the trial to be over, Yue Su asked Wei Guangwei to sign and detain, and then started the trial again.

Now that Zhang Miaoshou has confirmed that the account was forged by him, and the truth that Li Yuanchen found out last night, it is very easy to solve the case. The owners of the various shops were brought up one by one, using both soft and hard measures, and soon got an answer, and then the relatives of the prisoners were brought into custody, and they were easily asked to sign and draw the prisoners using the same method used to try Wei Guang. In the end, the prisoner was brought out, and after reading the confessions of relatives, they had no choice but to confess.

It only took one day for Yue Su to finish the entire case. Wei Guangwei and other eunuch party officials were all convicted, and more than 300 officials were suspected of offering bribes, including civil and military officials. If you have money to bribe, there must be a place where money comes from, and it will never be clean. If you want to do it, what should you do?

Yue Su, together with the officials of the Three Law Divisions, recorded the process and results of today's court trial, compiled it into a file, and signed his name. Yue Su did not fill in the column of handling opinions, but only indicated that in accordance with the emperor's will, the case should be decided first, the case should not be closed, and when it would be disposed of.

**

Inside a house in the city of Beijing. This house is similar to the house of ordinary people, with a courtyard and two rooms in it.

In the main room, a man in a red and black robe and a skull mask was leaning back in a chair. The room was dark, there was no light, maybe he enjoyed the darkness. It was also because of the darkness in the room that no one could tell whether he was open or closed.

At this time, a knock suddenly sounded outside the room, "dang, dang......"

"Who?" The masked man made a deep voice.

"It's me, my lord."

"What's the matter?". The masked man said lightly, as if he didn't mean to let someone from outside Mén in.

"Back to the lord's words, my subordinates have just received news that Xu Hongru and their plans to start an incident have been discovered by Dongchang Fanzi, and now the emperor has been informed."

As soon as he heard this, the masked man's heart sank, and he was silent for a long time, but he didn't say anything. It seems that this news hit him hard.

Liang, the masked man said slowly: "Has the imperial court made any decisions on this matter?" ”。

"Listen to our people, today in the court, the eunuch party and the three parties are arguing, the eunuch party advocates suspending the trial of Wei Guangwei and their case, so as not to shake the world, and send troops to Shandong to guard. The three-party proposal does not need to be overly discussed, and some people have even openly questioned the authenticity of this news. In the end, the emperor took Yue Su's suggestion and asked Dongchang and Liufan Mén to go to Shandong to find out the truth and make a final decision. Wei Guangwei's case, after the trial, will not be convicted for the time being, so as not to set off a storm. ”

"That's it. If we do send troops to guard it, we won't have a chance at all. Wei Guangwei: How is their case being tried, have you received any news? The masked man asked again.

"Yue Su is very powerful, and the case will be concluded in one day's work today."

"When the trial is over, ......" The mask portrait was very happy after hearing the news. Nodding slightly, he gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his hand, as if he was thinking of some countermeasures.
