"He Hu, your news is fast, you hurry up and inquire, it's best to see them in person, let them keep their mouths, don't poke out the secret. When it comes, you can only prepare for the worst!"

Zhang Mingchen said, took out the account book, and threw it into the brazier. Prepare to destroy the evidence.

"Brother-in-law, why are you burning, without these evidence, we will have no talisman, and Huang Zhifu will not save us!" He Hu hurriedly dissuaded Zhang Mingchen, many of the gifts in this account book were given to Huang Zhifu, of course, using pseudonyms.

"If you want you and my family to be safe, if you don't want to die so early, I advise you to burn this thing. If he is implicated, not only you and me, but even our family will not survive! Zhang Mingchen shouted.

"It's not that serious!" He Hu said in disbelief.

"You keep my mouth in order, if the matter is revealed, remember! These are all done by us, and they have nothing to do with Huang Zhifu, do you know the way? If we're lucky, maybe Governor Huang will save our lives! Zhang Mingchen specially explained.

"The handle is gone, maybe Huang Zhifu can't let us die early!" He Hu muttered. He disagreed with Zhang Mingchen's idea.

"You haven't been in officialdom, trust me! Leaving the handle is just to die together, do we want to live, do we know the way? Zhang Mingchen specially explained.

"Well, listen to you!" He Hu sighed and reluctantly agreed.

Then He Hu began to send all his subordinates out of Lu to inquire about the news everywhere, but Wang Dalun and the others had just arrived, and he didn't have time to drive nails into it, so he didn't know what the arrested person said.

After the people on the roster were arrested, Sui Peng began the intense interrogation work, at first everyone was silent, when they knew that Sui Peng was from Jinyiwei, everyone's faces changed, and Jinyiwei's famous name frightened them.

Sui Peng explained to them very gently, the torture tools and methods he was going to use later, in Sui Peng's gentle words, they trembled with fright, and the timid people were about to pee.

"I like to fight with tough guys the most, hey, I've been away from Jinyiwei for so long, and my skills are rusty, it seems that I still have to find someone to practice, I can't waste it, are you willing to cooperate with me? It won't hurt, I promise! ”

Sui Peng said softly very gently, and then he pointed to a person who looked very strong, and said, "I see that you are very strong, you should be able to stand it, cooperate with me, let me review the craft, okay?" ”

The strong man knelt down directly, kowtowed again and again, and said, "I said, I said, I said everything!" Please, don't torture! ”

"It's boring! Bring it over and ask for a confession, and if he dares to lie, bring it back and I'll clean him up! Sui Peng said disappointedly, and then he fixed his eyes on the others.

The people who were stared at by him were trembling, and they all said: "We recruit, we recruit!" ”

"Hey, it's boring!" Sui Peng was very disappointed and said: "Is my craft really going to be abandoned?" Why isn't there a one with seeds, please, cooperate with me, okay? ”

Do we dare to cooperate, aren't we just embezzling some money and food together, committing the crime of putting our lives on the line and being tortured? Everyone secretly said in their hearts, and they followed others to record confessions, they didn't want to be with a pervert like Sui Peng.

When everyone followed to record the confession, Wang Dalun slowly walked out and said approvingly: "Sui Peng, you are getting more and more powerful now, just move your mouth and let them confess!" ”

"Hehe, young master, the use of torture does not mean to make them suffer, but to make them feel frightened and afraid, a clever interrogator does not need to use so many punishments." Sui Peng explained with a smile that at this moment, where did he have any disappointment, only pride.

"Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, do it well, and verify their confessions well." Wang Dalun patted Sui Peng and encouraged.

After half an hour, Sui Peng came to reply, "Young master, after all the interrogations are completed, basically they can match the account books, but only one named Jin Jin can't be found, this person I estimate may be a higher-level official, and he collects the most money." ”

"Well, I know who the gold is, you don't care, you just deal with the others!" Wang Dalun nodded and said.

After Sui Peng left, Wang Dalun turned his head and said to Fang Wenjin: "Father-in-law, Master Qian, have they verified the accounts clearly?" ”

"The verification is clear, and the two ledgers are all clear. This time Zhang Mingchen is ironclad evidence, I think he has something to say this time? Fang Wenjin nodded.

"Father-in-law, Zhang Mingchen's case involves the prefect Huang Zhengxiang, what do you think should be done?" Wang Dalun asked.

"Reliable information?"

"Reliable! The one called gold in the account book is Huang Zhengxiang, and Zhang Mingchen gave him a lot of money that he was greedy for. Wang Dalun pointed to the account book and said.

"Well, we just need to know about this matter, don't make a noise for now, after all, Huang Zhengxiang's grade is higher than mine, and it depends on the emperor's intention to deal with him. And this account book alone doesn't mean much, and it doesn't have his name written on it. ”

"That means we have to have Zhang Mingchen's confession? Tomorrow, I will arrest Zhang Mingchen and ask him to provide relevant confessions! Wang Dalun asked.

"Don't get your hopes up, Zhang Mingchen even uses a pseudonym in the account book to prove that he doesn't dare to involve Huang Zhengxiang, I guess he won't explain this, he still wants to rely on Huang Zhengxiang to save his life!" Fang Wen entered the cold water channel.

"I don't believe that in the face of great punishment, he will not confess!" Wang Dalun hates corrupt officials very much, so he wants to catch them all.

"He won't necessarily say it! Based on the current evidence of the crime, he is nothing more than his own death, at most he will raid his home, his family will not be involved, and Huang Zhengxiang will take care of his family afterwards. If you say it, your wife and children will be affected! ”

When Wang Dalun heard this, he couldn't help but be deflated, it seems that this kind of unspoken rule has existed since ancient times. If you don't betray your colleagues, your family will be taken care of, and someone will help support you in employment or something, and if you betray your colleagues, you will be left in the well and die!

The next day, as soon as the day dawned, Wang Dalun led the group to the county office, the officials were very dissatisfied, you Wang Hu was too bold, and dared to go to the county government to arrest people, they were about to open their mouths to stop it, only to see Wang Dalun take out the sword of Shang Fang.

"Shang Fang's sword is here, who dares to stop it, get out of the way of me!" Wang Dalun shouted.

When the official saw it, he even got Shang Fang's sword out, and he didn't dare to stop it anymore and got out of the way.

Wang Dalun led people all the way straight to Zhang Mingchen's bedroom, and when they pushed them away, they saw that Zhang Mingchen was already dressed and sat quietly, waiting for Wang Dalun's arrival.

"Lord Zhang, for your county's accounts, after verification, there is serious corruption, now please come with me! Lord Fang has some questions for you. Wang Dalun said.

"Master Qin, have they all spoken?" Zhang Mingchen asked instead of answering.

"What do you say? People are doing it, and the sky is watching! The French Open is magnificent, negligent but not leaky! Wang Dalun replied.

"Hey! I knew there would be such a day. I'll go with you! Zhang Mingchen was very cooperative and silently followed Wang Dalun.

"Sir!" When Zhang Mingchen's daughters heard the news, they hurriedly rushed out and looked at Zhang Mingchen with tears in their eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll be here when I go!" Zhang Mingchen patted his wife's hand and explained, "Have you remembered everything I said to you yesterday?" If I'm not here, the family will have to work hard for you! ”

"The concubine knows what to say, master, you have to come back!" Madame said with tears in her eyes.

Zhang Mingchen smiled wryly and said: "The family will entrust you, raise and educate our children well, don't let them learn from me, just get by!" ”

"Let's go! If you know today, why bother in the first place! Is money really that important? Wang Dalun couldn't bear it, but thinking about what Zhang Mingchen had done, he still urged ruthlessly.

"Take care! I'm leaving! Zhang Mingchen said softly, and then left without looking back.

"Sir!" The ladies began to cry, realizing that Zhang Mingchen might never come back.

When Zhang Mingchen saw Fang Wenjin, he opened his mouth and said: "Lord Fang, I have something to ask for, if you agree, what you ask, what I will explain, there will be no concealment!" ”

"Really?" With a meaningful smile on his face, Fang Wenjin asked, "Will you tell me who the gold is?" ”

"My lord, you don't have to ask, everything is done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with others!" Zhang Mingchen was taken aback, it seems that the account book has still leaked out, could it really be that Master Qin did it?

"Look, if you don't tell me, I know everything else, why did you let me agree to your request?" Fang Wenjin said slowly.

"Just because we are all officials, as the saying goes, 'stay a line in life, and see each other in the future', I don't expect you to let me go, I just hope that for the sake of everyone being officials in the same dynasty, don't implicate my family." Zhang Mingchen said loudly.

"It's inevitable to raid your home, I think you also know it, but I promise you, you can keep your family from having food and clothing, I think you should be prepared in advance, as long as you spit out what you eat, I will let your family go!"

Zhang Mingchen listened, smiled bitterly, and said: "It seems that you have expected all my actions, and I will not be wronged by planting you!" Don't worry, I only left a little property for my family, just enough for them to live on food and clothing, and the rest is all there. ”

"If the big heads are here, I can swear to God not to harass your family!" Fang Wenjin also assured very seriously.

"Good! I believe you, bring the confession, I'll sign it! Zhang Mingchen said very simply.

"If you tell who the gold is, you won't necessarily die!" Fang Wenjin stared at Zhang Mingchen and said.

"Lord Fang, you are also a member of the officialdom, I think there are some things that you should know by heart, can I say it?" Zhang Mingchen said with a wry smile.
