"Cao Bao!"

"Meng Baihu, Master Meng, hehe......" Cao Bao slowly raised his head and grinned at Meng Yan, with a trace of blood between his teeth, which looked a little oozing.

From a brocade guard and a military attache of the fourth rank of the imperial court, to a prisoner under the ranks, this huge change and mental gap is not so easy to adapt to any person at once.

"Cao Bao, do you know why I came to see you?" Meng Yan asked calmly.

Cao Bao is a person with an extremely firm mind, and he is also a person who practices martial arts, much more than ordinary people can bear.

For him, torture can only increase physical pain, but it is an excellent tempering of will.

Perhaps he also hoped in his heart that they would torture him, so that he could show the loyalty and bravery that he had only thought he had.

"You're here to see me, are you dead?"

"A loser, his life or death doesn't mean anything to me!" Meng Yan smiled slightly and sat down in front of Cao Bao.

"Don't you just want to get some handle from my mouth, sue you, it's impossible, even if you die, I won't say it."

"Do you know that you committed a capital crime, embezzled so much money and food after losing the air, and instructed your subordinates to set fire to the evidence?"

"I know, the big deal is death, Lao Tzu is still a good man after eighteen years!" Cao Bao pulled his neck and roared.

"So, you're going to take all the crimes off your shoulders?"

"Yes. So what? ”

"Clerk, have you written down Cao Bao's confession?"

"Master Meng, write it down!"

"Let him sign it!"

"Yes, sir!"

The scribe in charge of the record stepped forward with the confession and the red ink, and asked Cao Bao to sign the confession and press the handprint!

"This official is very strange, why did Lord Leng torture you, but you didn't say a word, and as soon as the official came, you admitted to embezzlement, loss and arson?" Meng Yan asked.

"I'm defeated in your hands, not that cold jack!"

"The pride of a warrior?"

"Yes!"

"Cao Bao. You're a man. There is affection and righteousness, but your love is a small love, and your righteousness is also a small righteousness, this official really feels sorry for you! Meng Yan sighed.

"Isn't it just a death? Grandpa Cao: I've been ready for a long time. Come on. When to send Grandpa Cao on the road? ”

"You won't die, on the contrary, you'll walk out of here. Be free! Meng Yan said.

"What?" Cao Bao was shocked, he thought that his time was running out from the beginning of meeting Meng Yan!

But what he never expected was that Meng Yan actually sued him for another result.

"Cao Bao, your life is really valuable, Wang Zhen is actually willing to buy your life with 200,000 taels of silver, to be honest, the officials feel incredible, he is such a greedy person for money, he is willing to spend 200,000 taels of silver to protect you, do you think you are very valuable?" Meng Yan smiled.

Meng Yan didn't intend to hide it from Cao Bao, this kind of person would be difficult for others to understand unless he woke up himself.

This is foolishness!

Uncle Wang Zhen's nephew has the grace of knowing him, so he wholeheartedly gave his life to Uncle Wang Zhen's nephew, and as for the distinction between good and evil in human nature, he was left aside!

Cao Bao was dumbfounded, he knew that why did he admit it just now, but now that he has signed and drawn the charge, it is too late to regret it!

Although his confession was only a few sentences, strictly speaking, it was not tortured to extract a confession.

The signature and handprint were all of his own free will.

Of course, he also knew that Leng Qianjin and Meng Yan wanted not only his confession, but the unsightly things he did for Wang Zhen's uncle and nephew and Ma Shun.

Otherwise, there is no need to torture him so severely, even if there is no confession and confession from him, with the account books and the testimony of Hou Wu and others, he can still be convicted!

"This is what you personally admitted, of course, for the crime you put down, the court still needs to open a court trial before you can be punished properly, and above the court, you can also retract your confession, saying that this is a trick of torture, and you are forced to confess because you can't stand it?" Meng Yan took the testimony and raised it in his hand.

"Actually, even without this testimony, we can still condemn you!" As soon as Meng Yan's hand was released, the testimony with Cao Bao's signature painting fell down, fell into the charcoal brazier, and instantly turned into a pair of ashes.

"My lord, what are you ......" The clerk in charge of the record was anxious and wanted to snatch it out of the coals, but he was still a step too slow.

"You go out first, I have something to say to Lord Cao!"

"Yes, sir!"

Cao Bao also looked at Meng Yan in surprise, his behavior is indeed very incomprehensible, although he can go to the court to retract his confession, but there is so much ironclad evidence there, he can't retract his confession at all, not to mention his handwritten confession, then this case is ironclad evidence, impeccable!

He didn't know why Meng Yan would destroy this crucial testimony with his own hands?

Even if Wang Zhen used 200,000 taels of silver to buy his life and fill the deficit, as long as this thing was in the other party's hands, it would be a handle!

Meng Yan has no reason to destroy this handle that has already been reached, this is not normal, it is too abnormal.

"Master Cao, you are about to be free, and it can be regarded as a bittersweet end, let's talk about your future life?" Meng Yan didn't seem to care at all, sat down, and looked like chatting about family life.

"What exactly does Master Meng want to say?"

"There are not many people who have walked out of Jinyi Wei Prison alive, you Cao Bao is one, and the official wants to congratulate you!"

"Lord Meng, didn't you just walk out of here yourself?"

"Yes, the official almost forgot about himself, and the official also walked out of here not long ago." Meng Yan smiled and said, "Is Lord Cao willing to listen to the official's nagging?" ”

Cao Bao hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Lord Cao went out from here, and the first person he wanted to see was Wang Zhen. This Lord Cao, you don't have a choice, how do you want to explain your behavior to Wang Zhen, for a mere more than 500 taels of silver, not to mention that you are in prison, and you almost involved so many people, especially he suffered heavy losses, this question is very important, you must answer, and you must answer to Wang Zhen's satisfaction, this is related to your future future! Meng Yan said.

Cao Bao frowned. This Meng Yan reminded himself so kindly. Could it be that he was crazy, he almost killed him.

"That's the first question, think about it, you still have one night!" Meng Yan continued. "Two hundred thousand taels of silver. That's a lot of money. This money, with the character of Wang Zhen's uncle and nephew, must be made up. Who will it be, I don't need to say, Lord Cao is a smart person, and he should understand this. ”

Cao Bao raised his eyebrows, he was not stupid, he naturally knew the meaning of Meng Yan's words.

This money, after he went out, he still had to find a way to help Wang Zhen's uncle and nephew earn it back, how to earn it?

"Lord Cao is loyal to Uncle Wang Zhen's nephew, but this time he stabbed such a big basket, needless to say, it is certain that he will lose his official position and be dismissed, and he can only be a servant thug in the future, of course, it is not impossible to be an official again, it is difficult!"

Cao Bao's brows furrowed even deeper.

"The official inquired a little, Lord Cao has a son, who is twelve years old this year, and he admires your father very much, thinking that you are a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, a good father, and has always been proud of you, but if you let him know that you have been doing things for Uncle Wang Zhen's nephew, what do you think he will think of you?"

"Don't say it, don't say it......" Cao Bao became excited.

"Your old mother, wife, and a younger sister, Wang Shan wanted to take your sister as a concubine, but you didn't agree, and now, as long as you go out, if Wang Shan makes this request again, do you still have the courage to refuse?"

"Since ancient times, eunuchs have caused trouble in the government and government, and no one has a good end, Wang Zhen is no exception, Cao Bao, this official knows that Wang Zhen's uncle and nephew have the grace of knowing you, but this kind of kindness is to find a minion who can help them do bad things, do they really value you so much?"

"Master Meng, what you said is useless, my Cao Bao's life was given by Lord Weng, even if Lord Weng takes it back, then I will willingly return it to him!" Cao Bao's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Meng Yan and said.

"Cao Bao, your son is good, this official plans to take him as an apprentice!" Meng Yan threw a bombshell out.

"The surname Meng, you ......" Cao Bao was furious, if his son really worshipped Meng Yan as a teacher, then he really couldn't say clearly.

"He's the same as you, so stubborn, but he's different from you, he knows right from wrong, and he knows righteousness!" Meng Yan Road.

"No, no, surnamed Meng, you can't do this, you're going to die a bad death......" Cao Bao roared.

"Cao Bao, it doesn't matter if you fall, but even your own son has to be pulled into the water, do you want the Cao family to be the queen?"

"Surnamed Meng, what do you want to do to let my son go?"

"Over the years, you have done a lot of good things for Uncle Wang Zhen, Ma Shun and others, I just want to know this!" Meng Yan smiled slightly and asked.

"No, I can't, I can't sue you ......"

"Lord Cao, the official who should have said it has been said, and the official who should remind you has also reminded you, why did you say that the official came here, for a person who wants to kill himself, he has spent so much thought, hey, ......" Meng Yan shook his head and got up and said.

Cao Bao's lips trembled slightly, showing that he was extremely uncalm in his heart.

"Lord Cao, let's do it for yourself!" Meng Yan no longer paid attention to Cao Bao, turned around and took the iron gate and left directly.

Back next door, Guo Nu hasn't left yet, waiting for Xin'er.

"Done?"

"I'm done." Meng Yan nodded.

"What did Cao Bao say?" Guo Nu asked.

"I didn't say anything, I just sued him, Wang Zhen bought his life back with 200,000 taels of silver!" Meng Yan Road.

"How can you kid tell him the news, then won't he say anything?" Guo Nu was a little angry.

"He confessed that he was corrupt and corrupted, and that he also instructed someone to set the arson, and his confession was signed and detained." Meng Yan Road.

"What about the confession?"

"I burned!"

"You burned?" Guo Nu stroked his heart again, his heart was a little overloaded today.

"If it's burned, everyone will be released, is it still useful to keep that confession?" Meng Yan Road.

"Boy, you lied to me, didn't you?"

"I didn't lie to you, uncle, I really burned it!" Meng Yan shook his head solemnly.

"You bastard, what are you burning him for, this thing is in our hands, that is, we have grabbed Cao Bao's handle, maybe it will be useful in the future!"

"Uncle, what kind of person is Cao Bao and what his temperament is, do you know?"

"Lack of heart, tendons, bold and reckless!"

"Does that mean that as long as such a person is sincere to him, he will follow you with all his heart?"

"Yes!"
