"You, what are you going to do? Private, lynching the court officials, but, but the crime is complicit! ”

Fan Dalong never expected Zhen Shu to dare to do it to himself, he regretted not staying at home at this critical juncture, and he had to send a letter to this black-hearted Zhen Shu. He wanted to resist, but it was too late, and the soap had already held him down, and then tied him with hemp rope to tie it firmly.

"Zhen Shu, you old and dumb-eyed, if I, Fan, have betrayed you for a few words, I will not die well, and five thunders will blow up!"

Zhen Shu snorted and laughed: "At this moment, you are still acting with this official, and this official wants to see if it is your hard mouth or the official's hard water and fire stick." Don't be stunned, serve Fan Langzhong well! ”

These soaps have always been the first to look at Zhen Shu, and when they got the order of the waiter, they ripped off Fan Dalong's pants like a wolf, and beat them with a crackling stick, and in the blink of an eye, Fan Dalong's snow-white fat ass was beaten to the skin.

Fan Dalong is not a hard-headed person, he wants to die hard and not let Zhen Shu's intentions succeed, but he can't stand this kind of corporal punishment, so he can only kill a pig and cry for mercy. Zhen Shu didn't want to beat him to death, the reason why he beat him was to remove the prestige of this person, and then it would be much more convenient to interrogate the confession.

"How? What does this fire and water kill taste like? If you know the current affairs, the official will ask you anything, and he will recruit you from the truth! ”

"You, you ask......"

Fan Dalong gasped, as long as Zhen Shu stopped ordering those soaps to beat him, he could do anything.

"Good! Fan Lang knows the current affairs and can suffer less from this flesh and skin. Let's start with the ninth year of Chongzhen, in October, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau came out of the silk ......"

Zhen Shu's words made Fan Dalong completely understand that this guy was thinking of burning his own jade, but didn't he know that this matter could not be involved in him for the time being? As long as his mouth is tight enough, he can always cover up more for him.

But at this moment, how could Fan Dalong take responsibility for this stupid and unreachable Zhen Shu? Naturally, he answered whatever Zhen Shu asked, and many of the secret processes that he personally handled were tricked one by one without concealment.

Zhen Shu did not call the book office to record, but personally wrote and recorded, Fan Dalong's cooperation surprised him, but he still wrote like a fly, with Fan Dalong's rapid speed of speech on the paper like a flying dragon and a snake. The questions he asked were mainly about the secrets of the Tao that were not covered in the Communiqué, the first of which was the collusion between the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the Zhejiang City Bo Division, which belonged to the Dushui Qing Bureau, and the second was the collusion of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry in materials and commercial taxes, and the two together supplemented some of the things that were missing in the Communiqué.

It was only half an hour before and after, and a qiē was carried out smoothly to the extreme. Zhen Shu was satisfied with the confession she had just written in front of her, picked it up with both hands, and blew vigorously on the ink that had not dried.

"That's it! There is also the most critical one, since you haven't burned the account room of the Dushui Qing Division, hand over the account books. ”

Fan Dalong didn't say a word, obediently cooperated, and boxes of account books were quickly lifted out of the account room of the Dushui Qing Division. Zhen Shu glanced at the soap li beside her, and after sighing for a while, she suddenly raised the volume of her speech.

"Let's go! Go to Yingtianfu! ”

Zhen Shu escorted Fan Dalong, carrying boxes of account books, to Ying Tianfu to surrender, not only that, but he also made Fan Dalong's charges public. In order to prevent Li Xin from colluding with Fan Dalong earlier and forcibly suppressing this person's guilt, he specially copied another copy of Fan Dalong's confession and sent it to the "Gazette" newspaper in Tendon Lane and handed it over to Mr. Nanlei.

Mr. Nan Lei is known to have a clear name, and he will never erase the truth, as long as the contents of these confessions are publicly reported in the "Communiqué", even Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to return to heaven.

It's just that Fan Dalong's face was full of indifference, and even faintly mocked, which made him a little more apprehensive in his heart, did he really think that Li Xin could reach the sky with his hands and eyes when he was so fearless? He kept telling himself that this was impossible, and even if Li Xin's methods were ruthless, it was impossible, and he did not have the strength to go against the public opinion and popular will in Nanjing.

It's true that he is ruined, but he can't let these pickled villains who betray him go as planned. Arriving here first, he looked at Fan Dalong's extension and already grabbed a bit of hatred.

"What? Zhen Shu surrendered? ”

Chen Wenzhi couldn't believe his ears, although the Marquis of Zhenyu had said that if he put some pressure on them, there might be an unexpected gain, but he never imagined that the unexpected harvest would be so rich! It's just that the "Bulletin" openly reported some confessions that are not supported by evidence, which can make them collapse internally because of suspicion.

"Back to the house, Zhen Shilang also brought Fan Dalong here, and a box full of account books!"

"Oh? And Fan Dalong and the ledger? Chen Wenshan was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Today, I know what it takes to get it, and it takes no effort!" ”

In this way, Zhen Shu was out of excessive suspicion, so she misunderstood Fan Dalong and betrayed her, is this an active revenge? But I really can't see that this Zhen Shilang has always been feminine, and he couldn't imagine that he would still have a jade temper when he started to be ruthless.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenshan couldn't wait, he really wanted to see these wolf bèi of the country's silverfish dog-eat-dog as soon as possible.

However, he also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, Zhen Shu was an official of the imperial court after all, and he couldn't be treated like a criminal in a hurry. As for Fan Dalong, it is not appropriate to be immediately imprisoned, and he will be placed under house arrest first.

How to deal with the interrogation of these two crucial witnesses and suspects, Chen Wenzhi has no experience in breaking out of prison, and the first thing he thought of was Zhu Yuncai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, who was known as a cool official, why not ask this person for some ideas, thinking that he would definitely be happy to see that his opponent was unlucky, and he would definitely not hide his secrets.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhi immediately sent someone to invite Zhu Yuncai. On the other hand, before Zhu Yuncai arrived, he only let Zhen and Fan into the side hall. It wasn't until Zhu Yun came, and after consulting the countermeasures, he would discuss the trial or imprisonment.

After Zhen Shu was let to the side hall of Ying Tianfu, no one paid attention to him after waiting for half an hour. During this period, there was even a soap from Ying Tianfu who came to add tea to him a few times, and the treatment in this treatment didn't look like treating the suspect, what kind of ghost did Chen Wenzhi play, he hung himself for half an hour, did he plan to exert invisible pressure on himself?

Under the chaos in his heart, he couldn't figure out an accurate idea for a while, and suddenly the door creaked open from the outside, and with the sound of the door opening, a short and fat red-robed official came in, and when he looked closely, it was Zhu Yuncai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works.

"How are you?"

Zhu Yuncai replied with a smile: "Why can't it be me?" As he spoke, his steps did not pause at all, and he came to the middle of the side hall, with a sneer on his face, and glanced at the broken tea on the table.

"Brother Zhen is in trouble, and he is still in the mood to drink tea, so his concentration is also very much admired by Zhu!"

This villain's appearance made Zhen Shu angry, although he came to Ying Tianfu to surrender, it does not mean that he can be humiliated, especially his colleagues who have been suppressed countless times.

"Zhu Yuncai, this official is different from you, and he has nothing to say, if there is nothing else, this official wants to sit alone for a while!"

Zhen Shu's attacks and accusations did not seem to affect Zhu Yuncai's good mood at all, and he replied to Zhen Shu in a very regretful tone.

"I'm sorry! Zhu really can't leave, Sun Butang set up an investigation office, Zhu Mouxi is sitting down, and I ask Brother Zhen to cooperate. ”

At this point, Zhu Yuncai's tone gradually turned cold, "Your confession Zhu has already read it, this kind of frenzied embezzlement of public funds, killing and stealing the house seems light, what qualifications do you have to sit in the side hall of this Ying Tianfu and drink tea?" ”

Zhen Shu was stunned by these words, her body trembled, and she didn't know how to respond.

Bang! Zhu Yuncai slapped on the table, and the tea bowl on the table was bounced up and down, which made Zhen Shu tremble in fright, and bounced up from the chair.

"Prisoner Zhen Shu, I read that you are an official in the same hall as this official, and this official does not want to humiliate you, just ask you a few words, please invite you truthfully! As stated in the confession, is it true that the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau colluded with the Zhejiang City Bosi to embezzle public funds? ”

Zhen Shu's face was drenched in cold sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans crackled and rolled down.

"It's true!"

"Good!" Zhu Yuncai took out an official document from the painting like a trick and threw it in front of Zhen Shu.

"This is the confession of Fan Dalong and Zhao Pan, please read it again Brother Zhen, and if it is true, please sign it!"

Zhu Yuncai's treatment of himself like this was indeed beyond Zhen Shu's expectations, he made it difficult to exclude this junior colleague on weekdays, and if he returned the opportunity to others, he would not take the opportunity to take revenge. However, this Zhu Yuncai did not seem to take advantage of this to embarrass himself, on the contrary, this person even intended to treat himself preferentially, and the interrogation that should have been conducted in the main hall of the trial was arranged in a side hall and only in the form of a private conversation.

Thinking of all this, Zhen Shu's impression of Zhu Yuncai has changed again, and she also has a little gratitude to this person in her heart. He carefully read the confession that Zhu Yuncai fell over, which contained the facts confessed by Zhao Pan and Fan Dalong, and at the end there were questions he himself reported, basically there was no malicious fabrication. This confession is enough to make many people unrecoverable based on facts alone, there is no need to make it up at all, Zhen Shu trembled and picked up the pen to sign her name on the confession, and at the same time stamped her finger prints on it one by one, and this is the end.

Zhu Yuncai held the confession with both hands with satisfaction, carefully examined Zhen Shu's signature and handprint, and then said with a smile: "Brother Zhen is so cooperative, Zhu has thanked him!" You can rest here for the time being, and a scribe will come to negotiate with Brother Zhen later. ”

After speaking, Zhu Yun turned around and left. Zhen Shu smiled at him gratefully.

Who knew that Zhu Yun had just walked to the door, but suddenly turned around and said meaningfully: "I forgot to tell Brother Zhen, Fan Langzhong actually never betrayed you from beginning to end!" ”
