Chapter 358: Interrogating He Wendong
PS: Because of the power outage today, automatic updates are set!
"Brother Meng, I'm really sorry that night, I really didn't expect that group of people to be so noisy......"
"Lao Niu, you must have colluded, wait, you know my character, and you will take revenge!" The root of Meng Yan's hated teeth itched.
"The brothers are also happy for you, you have been promoted to a deputy thousand households, and the brothers will be counting on you in the future."
"Count on me, raise a small deputy thousand households, which of you officials is not older than me, and the foundation is not deeper than mine?"
"There is a saying in this officialdom, don't bully young people to be poor, Brother Meng, a young talent like you, the future is promising, we old guys, who are standing still, naturally have to rely on you!" Niu Dali smiled.
How could Meng Yan not understand what Niu Dali meant, in this officialdom, if you want to mix well, you must stand in line, and you have to stand on the right team!
In the officialdom, it is not possible for a person to fight alone, in fact, politics is also such a thing.
In fact, cultivating a team in Jinyiwei, Meng Yan is not in a hurry, but not being in a hurry does not mean that he will not do anything.
"Lao Niu, tomorrow night, you can arrange it, Songhelou Tianzi No. 1 box, I will do the east." Meng Yan whispered.
"Understood." Niu Dali's eyes lit up, and he heard that Meng Yan was going to cultivate his own small circle.
People are not afraid of ambition, they are afraid of no ambition, Niu Dali is very optimistic about Meng Yan, not only because Meng Yan is Guo Nu's son-in-law.
There is also Meng Yan's means and temperament, if he is a mean and unkind person. Even if he is a horse master, Niu Dali will not take the initiative to post it.
Don't think that honest people don't understand anything, sitting on a cold bench at the gate of the South Yaya for ten years is a stubborn stone and enlightened.
"You want to know the roots, understand?"
"I understand, it's like an old cow who has been stumbling for half his life, and he doesn't want it." Niu Dali smiled and said he understood.
"I want to see He Wendong."
"Okay, I'll take you there, old cow." Niu vigorously agreed, and He Wendong was the prisoner who was the inspector and deposited in the edict. It's different from the prisoners in the Imperial Prison. Meng Yan didn't need Beiya's consent to follow his opinions.
This can be regarded as a kind of abuse of power for personal gain, but it is also allowed, after all, the patrol envoy has just had an accident over there, and the edict prison is safer. He Wendong is a key prisoner again. It is also necessary to be cautious.
Except for He Wendong. and his cousin He Wenhai were also imprisoned in the Imperial Prison.
The case of Bao'en Temple was accepted by Jinyiwei, and the two cases were related, and the two cousins were both imprisoned. No one else can find fault with it.
After the Jinyi Guard Imperial Prison was cleaned, all of them were replaced by their own people, this is the safest, Meng Yan chose here, not to mention, there is Niu Dali on the side of the Imperial Prison, he is also more assured.
After Jiao Hong moved out of his house, he was also imprisoned here, and Meng Yan didn't want to give the Jiao family siblings any chance to meet or talk.
It was not time to interrogate Jiao Hong directly, not to mention that the emperor gave him another month, which means that now he has time, and he doesn't have to rush as much as before.
"Your people are all detained in this courtyard, and Master Fu personally confessed." Niu Dali explained as he walked.
"Uncle Fu is really careful and considerate." Meng Yan Road.
"Lord Niu!"
"Shen Baihu, hard work." Niu Dali said, "This is Lord Meng Yanmeng." β
"Shen Yiping has seen Master Meng!"
"Lord Shen, we're old acquaintances, aren't we?" Meng Yan smiled and said, this Shen Yiping has seen several times in the East Division.
"Yes, yes, do you remember to mark it?" Shen Yiping said excitedly.
"Hehe, how could the official not remember, Lord Shen, the official wants to see He Wendong?" Meng Yan smiled.
"Master Meng wants to see He Wendong, there is no problem, please come with me."
"Dali, tomorrow night, count Lord Shen as one!" Meng Yan suddenly turned his head and said to Niu Dali.
"yes, okay." Niu vigorously agreed.
"Lord Meng, Lord Niu, what are you talking about, what kind of dumb riddles are you playing?" Shen Yiping said with a confused face.
"Lao Niu, you explain to Lord Shen, I'm going to see He Wendong!" Meng Yan smiled slightly and pushed all the problems to Niu Dali.
"This Lord Shen, you come with me......" Niu Dali saw the opportunity and pulled Shen Yiping aside to speak.
The two brothers, He Wendong and He Wenhai, were separated from each other, and the two brothers have not seen each other since they came in.
He Wendong is not a prisoner yet, so Jinyiwei did not use torture tools on him, nor did he torture him, but only restricted his freedom.
But after all, the edict is the edict, and this is not a place where normal people can live for a long time.
Even if you don't commit a crime, you will be very unhappy if you stay here for a long time.
"After he came in, how was the love?"
"Lord Qiyu, he came here, ate and slept, but he was in a daze against the wall, and his mouth seemed to be reading something."
"Is there any fear or fear of behavior?"
"Yes At night, he was curled up under the covers, shivering, but probably because it was too cold in the cell."
"Well, I know, the official wants to talk to this He Wendong, you two should avoid it." Meng Yan raised his hand and commanded.
"Whoa!"
Through the bars, Meng Yan stood at the door and carefully observed He Wendong in the cell, this guy was lying on a straw mat, with his back to him, facing the inner wall, curled up.
After observing for a long time, He Wendong didn't make any moves, Meng Yan took out the key, opened the cell door, and walked in.
may have heard the sound of the cell door, He Wendong reacted, turned over, and turned around.
"Meng, Master Meng, why are you here?" As soon as He Wendong looked at his face, he saw clearly that it was Meng Yan, and he got up from the straw mat.
At the ancient pass, it was Meng Yan who rescued him from Na Richi's hands, and the two had met, although they didn't say a few words.
"Surprised, didn't you already know that we would meet sooner or later?" Meng Yan smiled slightly. Asked rhetorically.
"This, the grass people thought about it, but they didn't expect it to be here?"
"Do you think that we should be above the public court, and I will raise you to the court, and then under the watchful eyes of the officials, and then ask you something, right?"
"Grass people, grass people......"
"You're from Dongchang, right?" Meng Yan raised his head. Looking at He Wendong and asked.
"East Factory. Master Meng, the grass people don't know what you're talking about, I'm a small businessman, what does it have to do with Dongchang? He Wendong's eyes flickered slightly. Said in a panic.
"Then what is your relationship with Jiao Hong?"
"Jiao Hong. Master Meng, the person you said you said knows the grass people. It's just that the grass people are just ordinary friends with him. He Wendong said.
"When did you meet?"
"I don't remember this very well, it's been seven or eight years."
"Is it seven years or eight years?"
"Eight years!"
"But the official has the news that you have known each other for more than ten years?" Meng Yan said coldly.
"Yes. Maybe the grass people are mistaken, right? A layer of fine sweat appeared on He Wendong's forehead, and his eyes were a little empty.
"Xi'er was introduced to the Bai family as a maid, right?"
"Yes, yes......"
"Can you tell SΓΉ Benguan, what is your relationship with Xi'er?" Meng Yan asked.
"Her family was in trouble and wanted to treat her father, so I bought it back with money, and then sold it to Jiao Hong."
"Lie, it's obvious that Bai Xinyuan bought it back from you, how could it be sold to Jiao Hong, did it sell it twice by one person, or did Jiao Hong let you do it?"
"Yes, yes, the grass people are wrong, it's Bai Xinyuan......"
"You remember wrong, as a businessman, you always remember things wrongly, and this official really doesn't know how you do this business?"
"Lord Meng, Xi'er's death has nothing to do with me, the grass people didn't kill anyone!" He Wendong knelt down in fright and said.
"Xi'er is dead, who sues you?" Meng Yan snorted coldly.
He Wendong was in a mess all of a sudden, and no one told him that Xi'er was dead, but he knew that Xi'er was dead.
"I, I ......"
"My people have never told you about Xi'er's death, and you have been with the two brocade guards who brought you back in Bao'en Temple, from beginning to end, no one has told you this, He Wendong, should you be honest with this official?" Meng Yan said coldly.
"Lord Meng, Lord Meng, Xi'er really didn't kill me, I really didn't kill her, how dare you kill the grass people who have no grievances with her?" He Wendong cried bitterly in fright.
"Then you sue the official, who killed Xi'er?"
"I don't know, I don't know ......"
"Since you know that Xi'er is dead, and say that you didn't kill it yourself, but you say that you don't know who it is, will this contradictory statement?"
"Master Meng, please, let me go, I'll give you money, how much you want, how much I'll give you, one thousand taels, two thousand taels......"
Meng Yan really has never seen such an ugly person, this He Wendong is also wonderful, of course, his reaction is normal.
Who doesn't spare their lives?
"He Wendong, do you think that money can buy back your dog's life, you colluded with Jiao Hong to secretly resell the stolen goods stolen by the palace eunuchs and palace maids, and you also sold young children, specially bought for brothels, you think you have a backstage, and no one knows about the secrets you do, sue you, we already have the exact evidence, and the crimes you have committed are enough to tie you directly to Xishikou, Ling Chi 3,000 knives!"
"Master Meng, please, don't kill me, this, these are all Jiao Hong asked me to do it, Xi'er was also killed by Jiao Hong, Xi'er was killed by him, you can arrest him and ask him." He Wendong was frightened inexplicably.
"You said that Xi'er was killed by Jiao Hong, why, what is the motive?" Meng Yan's eyes flashed, this He Wendong really knew the inside story, no wonder they had to go to great lengths to replace him.
"Xi'er wanted to blackmail Jiao Hong for a sum of money and fly away, Jiao Hong pretended to agree, and then deceived people to Su Xinzhai and killed her!"
"Why did Xi'er blackmail Jiao Hongyinzi?"
"Because, because ......"
"It's all this time, and you're still hiding it from your own official?" Meng Yan said sharply.
"Because Xi'er knows a lot of Jiao Hong's secrets, and Jiao Hong has done a lot of bad things and killed people!"
"Jiao Hong has killed people and is known to Xi'er?"
"Yes!"
"Who is the person Jiao Hong killed?"
"I, I don't know ......"
"He Wendong, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, originally the official still wanted to watch you honestly confess and open up to you and give you a lighter punishment, but you still want to fool the official, do you know what kind of place this is?"
"No, I don't know......" Of course He Wendong doesn't know what kind of place this is, how many people who enter the edict prison can get out?
"He Wendong, this official sues you, this is Jinyi Weibei Imperial Prison!"
"Edict, edict ......" He Wendong suddenly collapsed to the ground in fright. (To be continued......)
