Chapter 98: Prevarication
"What a bold man, say, why don't you hide it, what are your intentions?" While everyone was anxiously waiting, Fan Ruhai slapped the document on the table and pointed at Judge Qin and shouted. The update is the fastest and most stable
"Lord Salt Patrol, I don't know what the lord means?" Judge Qin's body trembled slightly, forced out a smile, and said like Fan Ruhai sweating profusely.
"Open your dog's eyes and look closely!" Fan Ruhai sneered and threw the document to the ground.
Judge Qin didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked over and picked up the paperwork, opened it and checked it carefully, looked at it, his face became pale, and the sweat on his forehead was like rain, where did he think that Li Yuntian clearly indicated Zhou Yuting's identity on it, and he didn't expect that Li Yuntian would obediently go to the Yandao Yamen Judge Hall to wait for him to reply.
Looking at the document in front of him, Judge Qin's first thought was to destroy the evidence, stuff it into his mouth and swallow it in his stomach, but he had been in the officialdom all these years, so he naturally knew how stupid that move would be, and he was undoubtedly looking for death in front of everyone.
At that time, not only will all the charges be pushed on his head, making him a substitute for death, but he may also be accused of rebellion.
Judge Qin knew very well that at that time, none of these large and small officials in the Yandao Yamen would help him speak, and they would definitely fall into the trap and disassociate themselves from him.
"What else do you have to say now?" Fan Ruhai saw that Judge Qin was in a daze there, slapped the startled wood heavily, and asked in a deep voice.
"Lord Salt Patrol, Xiaguan...... The subordinate was derelict in his duties, and he was busy with other official business at that time, so he did not ...... Didn't read the official document carefully, no...... I don't know that there is the life history of the county lord of Yingrui on it. Judge Qin's legs weakened, plopped, and involuntarily knelt on the ground, sweating profusely and said to Fan Ruhai, because he was too nervous, he couldn't help stuttering a little, and his speech stammered.
"Hmph, you still want to quibble, do you have to wait for the official to serve you before you are willing to confess!" Fan Ruhai sneered and looked at Judge Qin, since this document came out, Judge Qin was completely planted, who would dare to speak for him at this time.
Shi Cheng'an sat there with a pale face, he was now eager to slash Judge Qin, a dog who had not achieved enough and had more than enough failures, and he had caused such a big disaster, so that Li Yuntian firmly grasped the handle.
Now, Shi Chengan didn't care about the life or death of Judge Qin, he was worried about whether someone in the court would attack him with this matter, and then bring him down, so that the throne of the two Huai Salt Road transfer envoys would be vacant.
"Next...... Xia Guan really didn't see it. When Judge Qin heard this, he knew that Fan Ruhai was going to deal a heavy blow to himself, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and shouted repeatedly, "If the lower official sees it, he will definitely report it!" β
"With all the human and material evidence, he dares to quibble, come and drag him to the torture chamber to serve, see if he recruits or not!" Fan Ruhai sneered, took out a order from the lottery holder on the desk and threw it on the ground, and said murderously.
Judge Qin's body was weak and he sat there paralyzed, Fan Ruhai's move was undoubtedly to let him bear the crime, and he would die in the torture chamber if he was not allowed to die, and at that time any crime could be pushed on him.
The officials of the Yandao Yamen at the scene were all silent when they saw this, everyone already knew what the fate of Judge Qin was, and only when Judge Qin came to bear this crime, then the Yandao Yamen could get out of this turmoil.
Several five big and three rough soldiers from the Salt Patrol Imperial History Yamen dragged the Qin Judge on the ground and went to the execution room, Shi Cheng'an looked at the scene in front of him coldly, and wished that the Qin Judge was killed.
"Wait!" Just when Judge Qin's face was ashen, a loud voice sounded, preventing the soldiers from taking him away, Li Yuntian looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Judge Qin, this official has always disliked torture, and he doesn't like to see others punished, for the sake of everyone being colleagues, this official will give you a chance to defend yourself, otherwise you know the consequences of rebellion!" β
Li Yuntian naturally knew Fan Ruhai's intention to do this, on the surface, it seemed that he wanted to seek justice for Zhou Yuting, but in fact, he wanted to abandon the car and protect the handsome, and wanted to put the responsibility on Judge Qin.
He was sure that as long as Judge Qin entered the door of the torture chamber, he would definitely not come out alive.
Li Yuntian spent a day setting up this bureau, and Zhou Yuting's four daughters suffered another day in prison, he would definitely not end this matter so lightly, this time he wanted to let the Yandao Yamen have a hard time.
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan has something to say."
Judge Qin's heart was already like stagnant water, and when he heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, this was his last chance to live, and he couldn't help shouting to Fan Ruhai, "Lord Patrol Salt, the reason why Xia Guan didn't read that document carefully was because it was Fang Tiju who caught the Lord of Yingrui County, and Xia Guan was just doing him a favor, and how to deal with Ying Rui County mainly depends on Fang Tiju's meaning, so Xia Guan didn't read that document carefully." β
When Li Yuntian heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of an inappropriate smile, it seemed that his words just now had a good effect, and Judge Qin suddenly bit out a positive seven-rank promotion.
Shi Cheng'an's face became very ugly, and he secretly scolded Judge Qin for being a fool in his heart.
The officials of the Yandao Yamen at the scene all looked at Fang Qing who was sitting at the end, no one thought that Fang Qing would have something to do with this matter, which made Fang Qing's face blue and white for a while.
"Fang Tiju, what Judge Qin said is the truth?" Fan Ruhai sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that this matter might not be good, he looked at Fang Qing expressionlessly.
"Lord Patrol Salt, this is a bunch of nonsense, and the lower officials don't know about the county lord of Yingrui at all." Fang Qing stood up and said to Fan Ruhai with a stern expression, "The lower official is in charge of the salt tax, and the arrest is the matter of the judge's office. β
"It was you who let the county lord arrest, and afterwards asked the official to reissue the order and sign the certificate." Seeing that Fang Qing denied this, Judge Qin was anxious, and he couldn't care about anything else, and said loudly, "You gave this official two hundred taels of silver tickets, saying that the county lord and they offended Wei Zhennan, the second son of Wei Deguang, vice president of the Salt Merchants Association, and wanted to repair the county lord and them, and Wei Zhennan would thank him again after the matter was completed." β
As soon as these words came out, Wei Deguang, who was standing in the crowd and watching, his face became extremely ugly, he had already guessed that Zhou Yuting and others were arrested in the Yandao Yamen Prison and related to Wei Zhennan, and now it was confirmed by Judge Qin, and his heart was cold, this matter was definitely not something he could afford.
"Nonsense!" Fang Qing sneered, looked at Fan Ruhai in an orderly manner and said, "Lord Patrol Salt, Judge Qin has already indicated that he is the one who went to arrest after receiving Bai Decai's report, and now he deliberately framed the subordinate in order to exonerate the crime, and asked the lord to be the master of the subordinate official." β
"Lord Patrol Salt, that Bai Decai was found by Fang Tiju, and the lower officials did not receive any reports, and the reason why he admitted it just now was because he wanted to shirk the blame." Now that he has torn his face, Judge Qin has nothing to hide, and said loudly to Fan Ruhai that he doesn't want to carry this black cauldron and implicate his family.
"My lord, what is the truth of the facts, I will know if those parties come to investigate." Fang Qing glanced at Judge Qin, who had an anxious look on his face, and said in a deep voice, looking confident.
"Lord Salt Patrol, he has already arranged it, and those people will naturally speak according to his arrangement." Judge Qin suddenly became anxious and said to Fan Ruhai.
"Shut up, the black and white will be distinguished." Fan Ruhai patted the shocked wood, and commanded in a deep voice, "Come on, spread the word of Bai Decai and the errand who brought the Yingrui County Lord to the prison today." β
Judge Qin's body froze there, and the corners of Fang Qing's mouth showed a cold smile, both of them knew that the matter had been arranged according to the pattern of Bai Decai going to arrest Zhou Yuting after Bai Decai's report, and even if those people came up, they would definitely follow the pre-arranged words, which would be extremely unfavorable to Judge Qin.
Li Yuntian turned his head to look at Zhou Yuting and smiled at her, the drama in front of him is getting more and more exciting, the more people are involved, the more angry Zhou Yuting will be, which will make the people of Yandao Yamen more passive.
Zhou Yuting smiled at Li Yuntian, she felt that watching Judge Qin and Fang Qing eat a dog was much more interesting than torturing them, not only was there no trouble, but she could also watch a good show.
Sure enough, when Bai Decai and the Yandao Yamen officers who went to arrest Zhou Yuting were brought up, the confessions provided were extremely unfavorable to the Qin judges: Bai Decai insisted that he had reported to the Yandao Yamen, and the leader of the errand officers also said that he was the one who went to arrest after receiving the order of the Qin judges.
"It's nonsense, it's clear that the official who sued sΓΉ after you arrested someone, how could it be the order signed by the official first!" Judge Qin couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and shouted at the leader of the errands, the testimony of the leader of the errands would undoubtedly kill him.
The leader of the errand lowered his head, not daring to look at Judge Qin, looking a little weak-hearted, no matter how he said that Judge Qin was also his top boss, and his prestige was growing day by day, he was still full of fear of Judge Qin in his heart.
"Enough, there is a certificate of order and a testimony from the officer in question, and you still don't want to plead guilty?" Fan Ruhai felt that the farce in front of him should also end, so he slapped the shocked wood heavily and scolded Judge Qin angrily.
"Lord Inspector Yan, the lower officials are really wronged, please be clear." Judge Qin broke free from the two soldiers who were holding him, knelt on the ground and crawled towards Fan Ruhai, and said with a crying voice, "The lower official is really not the county lord who deliberately collided, and every one of them was the instigation of Fang Tiju. β
"Drag this unrepentant bastard down to the official and torture him, and the official won't believe him to confess honestly." Where was Fan Ruhai willing to pay attention to Judge Qin, and pointed at Judge Qin who crawled over and shouted.
The previous soldiers immediately rushed up, accused Judge Qin again, and dragged him to the execution chamber.
Seeing this situation, Fang Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, he was almost implicated in this matter.
"Wait!" Just when Fang Qing thought that Judge Qin was in a catastrophe this time, Li Yuntian once again stopped the few soldiers who were dragging Judge Qin.
This not only shocked Fang Qing's heart, but also made everyone at the scene nervous, and their eyes were focused on Li Yuntian's body, not knowing what he was going to do this time. One
