Chapter 080: Trying to Catch the Dead
Qin Xuan looked at the straw paper in his hand, his eyelids blinked slightly, he didn't know what he thought, and a wicked smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. Slowly raised his head, paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Hmm...... Bring the overseer Yu Baoqing up! ”
"Yes!" The two jailers saluted respectfully, then turned to leave.
Not long after, Yu Baoqing was taken to the interrogation room by two jailers.
Yu Baoqing stood solemnly on the side, looked around, and didn't say anything, bowed down and waited in place, but there was a trace of worry in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: Hmph, I don't believe it yet, you dare to go against Jiang Kejin with a small county order, as long as Jiang Kejin is fine, then I will be fine!
Half a moment passed, Yu Baoqing glanced sideways and saw Qin Xuan frowning, staring at the straw paper in his hand, motionless, let alone interrogating himself, he didn't even look at himself! Yu Baoqing didn't feel a little like he was sitting on pins and needles, straightened up slightly, squinted his eyes secretly, and looked at the straw paper in Qin Xuan's hand. The distance is a little far, the font is a little small, and Yu Baoqing can only vaguely see that it is some names.
With a roll of his eyes, Yu Baoqing was a little weak, and unconsciously lost his confidence, and looked left and right a little nervously.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a moment had passed, and looking at Yu Baoqing, who had never spoken from the officials and jailers on both sides, and Qin Xuan of the treasure house, his heart was beating faster and thumping. Swallowing a mouthful of spit, he really couldn't stand this situation where his eyes were black and he didn't know anything, he bit his lip, seemed to be making up his mind, and asked softly: "Lord Qin, I don't know what you have done, let you make a big move, will you be taken to prison?" ”
Qin Xuan was actually treated coldly in the interrogation of the next generation to exert pressure. A quarter of an hour passed, and Yu Baoqing didn't speak, making Qin Xuan a little worried about whether he would be self-defeating. Posing in a posture, looking at the same paragraph, Qin Xuan was also nervous, and almost didn't hold back. But fortunately, Qin Xuan and Yu Baoqing only saw the tug-of-war, Qin Xuan still persevered to the end, and when he heard Yu Baoqing speak, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw Qin Xuan slowly raise his head, squint his eyes slightly, and slowly slapped the straw paper in his hand on the table. Then he took out the folding book given by Yang Linqiu from his sleeve pocket, flipped it lightly, and said very casually: "Yu Baoqing, I brought you to the cell because of the Nanqu River embankment!" Seeing that Yu Baoqing was obviously stunned for a moment, he then smiled: "Do you explain it yourself, or will the official tell you for you?" ”
Yu Baoqing saw Qin Xuan take out a folding book that he didn't know what was written, and when he heard Qin Xuan's casual words with a smile, he felt a sigh in his heart, and was slightly stunned. After a moment, he pretended to say: "Lord Qin, I don't know what the adults want me to explain?" ”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan sneered softly a few times, and then continued to look through the folding book. The interrogation room suddenly fell silent, and even the surrounding officials were a little confused, and there was a trace of confusion in the afterglow of secretly looking at Qin Xuan. was always figuring out what Qin Xuan was going to do, saying that he was trying the case, but after more than a moment, he said that; But if you say that you are not trying the case, why are you arresting such a group of people in a hurry......
After another half of the day, Qin Xuan saw that Yu Baoqing had not yet explained, so he stretched out his hand. Zhou Ronghao on the side was staring at Qin Xuan suspiciously, seeing this, he understood and hurriedly walked to Qin Xuan's side. Qin Xuan attached himself to Zhou Ronghao's ear, and he didn't know what to say, Zhou Ronghao nodded, and turned to leave.
And Yu Baoqing, who was standing on the side, was like a frightened rabbit at the moment, even if there was any trouble, he had to study it carefully for a long time. Seeing Qin Xuan's move, he frowned unconsciously, and secretly scolded himself: What is this guy going to do? Could it be that I can't hold my breath when I don't confess......
For a moment, Zhou Ronghao held a pot of tea and walked in slowly. Yu Baoqing looked sideways and said in his heart: It turned out that it was not that he couldn't hold his breath, but that he was going to drink tea...... After thinking about it for a long time, he finally couldn't help it again, and said: "Lord Qin, if there is anything you need to ask, please explain it, if it is okay, then it will be released quickly!" ”
Qin Xuan glanced sideways at Yu Baoqing, shook his head slightly, sighed, and muttered to himself: "Hey, they have all been confessed by others to become the mastermind, and they still don't understand, it's really pitiful!" ”
When Yu Baoqing heard this, he hurriedly asked without thinking, "Lord Qin, what did you say?" ”
Qin Xuan lowered his head, then looked at his folding book, and did not pay attention to it.
After a while, a jailer hurriedly ran in and bowed his hand: "Lord Qiqi, all the evidence that Jiang Kejin confessed has been found!" According to the evidence, it can be seen that the matter of the river embankment is indeed the mastermind of Yu Baoqing......"
Before the jailer's words were finished, Yu Baoqing was a little anxious, and blurted out: "Jiang Kejin is talking nonsense, serving is arranged by him, I am just acting according to orders!" As soon as these words came out, Yu Baoqing realized that he had been deceived by Qin Xuanyu, and his heart was broken.
Qin Xuan unexpectedly ignored Yu Baoqing, got up, and said softly: "Let's go, take the official to have a look!" After speaking, Yu Baoqing walked out of the interrogation room with a shocked expression.
Yu Baoqing looked at Qin Xuan's departing back, and unconsciously began to mutter: I have obviously said that I have already leaked my mouth, Qin Xuan didn't even hear it, why is this? Could it be that Jiang Kejin really pushed everything on me? Or does Qin Xuan have the intention to protect Jiang Kejin and is ready to use me as a scapegoat? Still is......
Yu Baoqing gritted his teeth in the interrogation room and kept interrogating himself. Qin Xuan ran to the prison gate to bask in the sun, breathing in the fresh air, and thought to himself: Hehe, I still don't believe it! The ancestor wants to capture this trick, he is really talented! This time, he must be able to take out a lot of things from Yu Baoqing's mouth......
Stretching his waist, Qin Xuan chatted with the jailer at the door for a while, then turned around and returned to the interrogation room.
Stretched out his hand and pointed at Yu Baoqing, and said casually: "Take him down, the matter has been clarified, there is no need to interrogate him again!" ”
When Yu Baoqing heard this, his eyes rolled, and when he knelt on the ground, he cried: "Lord Qin, the villain moves, the villain moves!" ”
Qin Xuan was snickering in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a helpless expression, smacked his lips, and sighed: "Hey-Yu Baoqing, I'm really sorry, someone has already recruited all of them, and they have also come up with evidence, it is pointless for you to recruit again at this moment!" ”
"No, no, Lord Qin, what the villain wants to say is the truth, and the villain also has evidence, which is definitely more comprehensive than what Jiang Ke has come in!" Yu Baoqing had already determined in his heart that Jiang Kejin was taking himself as a scapegoat, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.
Qin Xuan frowned, sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay, this official will give you some time, you can talk about it!" If what you said is indeed more than what the official knows now, then the official will definitely consider your surrender this time! ”
Yu Baoqing couldn't stop nodding and said, "Lord Xie......"
Qin Xuan waved his hand and said casually: "Hurry up, this official is pressed for time!" After speaking, he walked straight to the Hu chair on the side and sat upright.
"Since five years ago, after Jiang Kejin's uncle became the governor of Hangzhou, the previous Niu County Commander kept talking to Jiang Kejin, and even handed over the repair of the river embankment to Jiang Kejin. At that time, Jiang Kejin had just entered his career and became Yuhang Cangsi. ”
Jiang Kejin was originally a powerless businessman, and when he got the 50,000 taels of silver for repairing the river embankment given by the Niu County Order, he was greedy for ink. It is also because of the thousands of acres of farmland on the north bank, in the repair of the river embankment, all the lime, stones and other things are brought to the north bank. On the surface, the north bank embankment is thinner than the south bank embankment, but it is built of real good materials! ”
"50,000 taels of silver, and it cost 30,000 taels to repair the embankment on the north bank. In order to profit from this, Jiang Kejin instigated the villain to reduce the amount of lime and stone when repairing the embankment on the south bank, and use sacks filled with clods of soil instead of stone lime to build! ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly scold Jiang Kejin in his heart. Stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup on the side, and said casually: "These things are already known to the official, so you should just say the point!" ”
Yu Baoqing nodded slightly, and then said: "It cost a total of more than 35,000 taels of silver to repair the river embankment!" Jiang Kejin swallowed up the remaining money for 6,000 taels, gave Niu County Ling 6,000 taels, and gave the remaining 2,000 taels to the villain! ”
Qin Xuan frowned, glared at Yu Baoqing slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Really? ”
Yu Baoqing swallowed a mouthful of spit and said urgently: "Really! The villain has not touched any of the money so far! ”
Qin Xuan didn't pursue it, and stretched out his hand to signal: "You go on!" ”
In the summer of the following year, it rained heavily in Yuhang for several days, and Jiang Kejin was worried about the embankment on the south bank of the Nanqu River, so he colluded with the Niuxian Order, and on the grounds that the embankment was not safe, he transferred 10,000 taels of silver from the Yamen to prepare for repair. Jiang Kejin got the public funds for repairing the river embankment, and he was greedy again, but only 10,000 taels of silver could not satisfy Jiang Kejin's appetite at all, so Jiang Kejin told the people of Baojia Village in the name of the government that the river embankment is in danger, and the government can't come up with so much money, so the people of Baojia Village need to pay some money themselves! ”
The people of Baojia Village were worried about the river embankment, and in desperation, they scraped together more than 5,000 taels of silver. Jiang Kejin began to follow the previous method again, and strengthened it at will! It only cost less than 5,000 taels, and the remaining 10,000 taels of silver were swallowed by Jiang Kejin for 4,000 taels, Niu County ordered to receive 4,000 taels, and the villain only got the remaining more than 2,000 taels! ”
Qin Xuan took a sip of tea and said disdainfully: "These officials also know that if you don't have any evidence, don't waste your time!" As Qin Xuan spoke, he wanted to get up. ”
Yu Baoqing saw that Qin Xuan was leaving, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the villain was worried that Jiang Kejin would find trouble for the villain afterwards, so he privately collected all the evidence and other things at home!" And it is clearly recorded in a folding book! ”
