After Chen Ying was confessed, it was no longer difficult for the people in the inner factory to investigate him. Chen Yingda spent a lot of money that day, which attracted attention, the inn he lived in and his whereabouts were known, and there were records of outsiders in Fangmen, and soon Yu Wenxiao made his details clear. Yu Wenxiao immediately sent people to Chen Ying's house to arrest him directly, and when the magistrate came forward to negotiate, he was only told that the yamen in Beijing was ordered to do an errand, and if he had any questions, he could write to the imperial court.

At this time, Zhou Bin, who happened to be at home, went to the inner factory to practice, and Yu Wenxiao thought that Zhou Bin was very expert in interrogation and confession, so he handed over the case to him. Zhou Bin came to the private prison in the inner factory, beat the person to death first without asking, and passed the sentence again, just about to start asking for a confession, suddenly a scribe next to him reminded him that "the criminal is a relative of Su Shilang's family", Zhou Bin glared and said: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" The scribe said, "As soon as you came, you were busy giving orders, and there was no gap at all, and I didn't find an opportunity." ”

Zhou Bin dropped the pen he had just picked up in his hand and said, "There will be no trial today, the prophet will meet Su Shilang, if he has nothing to say, he will be tried again tomorrow." ”

At this moment, a prison guard ran over and said, "Su Shilang has already come in, he heard the news and wants to come to see Chen Ying, and we can't stop Yuwen Gong from nodding." ”

Su Jin obviously didn't have much affection for Chen Ying, but that guy was a relative of the Lin family, but it was obviously not okay to ask. How this case involved Chen Ying, Su Jin himself was also puzzled. He walked in under the guidance of the prison guards, which were not built underground, and the house may not have been built as a prison at the beginning, but was sealed off on all sides and converted into a place for prisoners. The doors and windows were nailed, and the light inside was dim, like the atmosphere of a prison.

Su Jin was not very accustomed to it when he first came in, and the carved building of the Kingdom of Qin was originally a place with good scenery, but the wall between the back door was a completely different scene.

As soon as he walked into the cell where Chen Ying was being held, Su Jin felt a little sticky under his boots, so he hurriedly moved his foot and looked down to see only bloodstains. In an accidental scene, he suddenly recalled those unbearable pasts, and he had also experienced prison.

For a moment, Su Jin felt that this was not a private prison of the pro-kingdom, but a prison of the imperial court, with a damp house, an abominable face, a foul smell, and a hellish torture......

Zhou Bin hugged his fists and said: "Su Shilang came just in time, you will interrogate your confession first." ”

Su Jin limped forward a few steps, glanced at Chen Ying, who was no longer human, and turned to Zhou Bin quietly: "Since the inner factory Yuwen Gong entrusted this matter to you, how can I act on my behalf?" ”

Zhou Bin smiled, this person's face was not good, his face was thin and a little sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and he laughed like a traitor: "This is not a prison of the Criminal Department, what kind of confession does Su Shilang want?" I wrote one before I came, and you can see if there is nothing wrong with Chen Ying's drawing. ”

Su Jin said in his heart: How much better is the prison of the Criminal Department? When the government was in the hands of the other party, how much reason would they make to deal with what they considered their political enemies? He said: "You still have to ask the truth, don't wronged the people of the Chen family." ”

At this time, Chen Ying seemed to hear Su Jin's voice and raised his head, and his bloodless bitter face suddenly showed a glimmer of hope: "Brother Su? ”

Su Jin said with a straight face: "If you get into trouble today, you have to tell the truth, otherwise I won't be able to help you." Zhou Bin chimed in: "It's also an opportunity for you to speak, understand?" ”

Where does Chen Ying still have the same privilege as before at this time? He said with a yellow lotus-like expression: "I was just joking with Su Jiu that night, and I didn't really treat his wife like this, how could I think you would be punished like this......"

Zhou Bin's face turned gloomy: "This is considered a big punishment?" I don't think you've suffered enough. Say! Who is instructing you behind, is it those few families who spread rumors who want to calculate Su Shilang behind their backs? You'd better admit it quickly, I already have the evidence here, and it's clear who it is! ”

Chen Ying said: "What kind of rumors are there, I really don't know anything." ”

"Someone, call me!" Zhou Bin snorted with a gloomy face. Chen Ying's face changed greatly and hurriedly begged for mercy, but the jailer didn't care if he took the whip and put it in the salt water and dipped it in the salt water, and he couldn't break up and smoke, the leather whip was slender and tough, and the whip was full of blood, and the salt water on it soaked under the skin, Chen Ying immediately howled, and shouted vigorously, "I'll move, I'll do anything!" ”

Su Jin stood aside without changing his face, and only then did he make a gesture and persuade Zhou Bin to tell him to stop fighting. Su Jin's usual style is quite a gentleman, and he has the temperament of "not good skills and hard bones", but at this time, there is still a trace of happiness in his heart, and he really has no heartfelt sympathy for Chen Ying. The reason is very simple, he didn't like Chen Ying as a person, and this time he took the whole of the Su family, even if Su Jin said that he was a gentleman in his heart, he was also a human being, and repaying grievances with virtue was just a matter of face.

Zhou Bin then asked someone to stop the whipping for the time being, and continued to ask Chen Ying about the "mastermind behind the scenes". He couldn't speak, and in the end he was forced to be anxious, and he had no words to confess and was tortured...... Zhou Bin used the torture tools in front of him one by one, and then Chen Ying saw the bamboo sticks on the side, which were torture tools that pierced his fingers. Before he could start the torture, he only felt that his hands were trembling, and his strength was inexplicably gone. This rich kid had suffered such a hardship when he beat Xiao He, and he was so afraid that he even told him about the hardships, and knelt down for you one by one. In the end, he was forced to have no choice but to tell all the unspeakable private affairs, about the Lin family and the festival with Su Jin, etc.

Su Jin had already concluded that Chen Ying was telling the truth this time, and he thought that this guy was still thinking about his wife, and Su Jin was even more angry, and he couldn't wait to skin him on the spot. But Zhou Bin didn't believe it, and said coldly: "Don't pull the matter on Su Shilang's head again, it's not a family matter." ”

Chen Ying said: "Ming Gong, you let Brother Su say something, he knows that this is true." ”

Zhou Bin turned his head to look at Su Jin, Su Jin pondered for a moment and said: "Chen Ying, it's not that simple, you don't understand these things, I have already told you to live a good life at home, you want to come to Beijing to make trouble, how can I help you now?" ”

After saying it, Chen Ying cried: "I know it's wrong, just spare me this time!" ”

Su Jin suppressed the anger in his heart, pretended to be helpless and said: "You are on business, if I want to mix it up again, it will be difficult to explain it in front of the prince, and I will leave." ”

"Don't go...... Chen Ying was so anxious that he struggled desperately, when he heard Zhou Bin talking about the scholars, he really thought that he was involved in the whirlpool of the struggle for imperial power, and he must have worried about his life, and he was already scared. In fact, as long as Su Jin really wants to help him, Su Jin is now one of the most popular people around Xue Chongxun, so what's so difficult? The power field is just like that, just because people outside don't know how much mystery there is. The problem is that Su Jin doesn't want to help this guy at all, and he still wants to fall into the ground, but he is afraid that he will not be able to speak well in front of the Lin family's relatives and dare not make it too obvious.

After Su Jin left, Chen Ying had less than half of his life left, covered in injuries, and then signed a confession that he couldn't figure out himself, implicating a large number of people in vain.

Zhou Bin submitted this confession to Xue Chongxun and wrote a detailed file. The case file is like writing a story, turning a trivial matter that was originally a personal grudge into a very conspiracy case, some of the old party of the Shi family had bad intentions, used others to set up a trap, and then spread rumors to make Su Jinyun stink. The motivations are very detailed, and they are not much different from the real thing.

Xue Chongxun read the dossier and believed it for eight points, although there was a lack of necessary evidence, it was not easy to find real evidence for this matter. He said in his heart: After all, the criminal is related to Su Jin, if there is no such thing, why didn't Su Jin say a word?

At this moment, Erling asked to see Jinyan, and Zhang Jiuling persuaded: "It is not appropriate to continue to investigate this matter, it is a big trouble, does King Jin want to change the policy of the pro-kingdom?" Regardless of whether the beginning and end of Chen Ying's case are investigated or not, the Nashi clan cannot take action in this matter. Even if they did, it would be nothing more than innocuous things, as was sometimes expected at the time of the initial discussion? We should adopt a tolerant posture and focus on appeasing the people, rather than expanding the wrongs and accumulating grievances. ”

Xue Chongxun groaned and did not answer. He remembered the "Biography of Wang Mang" that he reread last night, there were more and more people who were dissatisfied with the government in the later period of the new dynasty, and it gradually became a trend of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it, and the past did not forget the teacher of the future, Xue Chongxun was not a madman, and he often had a sense of awe for the rules of the world.

Of course, he believes that the failure of Wang Mang's regime is not because it offended some people, but because it affected the interests of too many people, and that is the root cause. At present, such filthy things as rumor-mongering are just small things, and naturally they cannot be compared, but it is not wrong for those in power to be cautious...... He thought for a while and said, "What Zishou said is reasonable, our huge pro-kingdom shogunate can't be without a little grace. This is how it is done: the investigation of the crime is only for the establishment of a gambling bureau to defraud money, Su Jiu is the victim, and his reputation is innocent, and those involved in the case will be held accountable according to the law. In the criminal law file, it is sufficient to warn those rumor-mongers who reverse right and wrong, and condemn their moral inferiority. Erling listened to it and was pleased to praise Xue Chongxun's wisdom.

With Xue Chongxun's statement that the case was finalized, this matter was easy, and Chen Ying was quickly transferred to Jingzhao Mansion, and according to the law, he was ordered to return his property and be fined twice. Chen Ying was tortured to the point that he only had one breath left and lost a lot of money, and was finally released home, and he was stigmatized, because the government decided that Chen Ying had colluded with the gambling house in the market, set up a gambling bureau to defraud the Su Jiu family's property, and attempted to tarnish the innocence of his wife.

Those who had said bad things about the Su family in public felt that something was wrong, and secretly visited Chen Ying, who was released from prison, and heard that someone in prison had forced him to confess that he had told the mastermind behind the ill-intentioned scenes, and they knew that something was wrong, and they were immediately worried and afraid.
