"Mr. Cai, write that Jiao Hong confessed that half of the property obtained from Su Xinzhai was sold and taken back to his home, and the other half was distributed to Cao Qin, Cao Fu, Cao Fu, Feng Shaoyu, and others, who were sentenced to 1000 households in Dongchang, and ...... others."

"Master Meng, you're trying to harm me!" Jiao Hong shuddered and said in fear.

"Why, what the official said is not the truth?"

"Master Meng......" Jiao Hong lowered his head, of course he knew that what Meng Yan said was the truth, if it weren't for Dongchang's cooperation, would he be able to pull these things into the house, and the benefits he and his sister Bai Jiao didn't get the most.

The most is still Cao Qin, who can't wait to swallow everything.

Cao Qin's greed is well known in the East Factory, if he wasn't Cao Jixiang's godson, he would have been overturned a long time ago.

"The relationship between Cao Qin and your sister, you don't need to tell you about it, right?" Meng Yan threw another bombshell.

"Meng Dadu, you know everything?"

"What, you doubt the officer's ability?"

"No, no, the villain doesn't doubt your ability, Lord Meng, it's just that my sister is also difficult, it's all that Cao Qin, I have to force her, so I ......"

"This official can understand, your sister also said that when she was with Cao Qin, she was actually coerced by Cao Qin, this is not adultery in the law, but forced adultery, and your sister's crime is lighter, and Cao Qin, as a Dongchang punishing thousands of households, knows the law and violates the law, and the crime is added to one degree." Meng Yan nodded.

"My sister said that?"

"Your sister is an accomplice to you, and the magistrate has taken her into custody in accordance with the law. And her relationship with Cao Qin, according to the law of Daming, she cannot be taken care of by her family, so she can only be detained and brought to the case. ”

"Master Meng, can you let the villain meet my sister?"

"Jiao Hong, you are a secret agent of Dongchang, you should know the rules, you are not allowed to meet before the public trial, to prevent collusion." Meng Yan immediately refused.

"Yes. Be. The villain understands. ”

"Your sister, that is, Bai Jiao, has confessed to her adulterous relationship with Cao Qin, and in Bai Suxin's case, you conspired to steal evidence and property. The law of the land has been violated. Therefore, this official will arrest them one by one in accordance with the law! Meng Yan said.

"Your Excellency wants to arrest Cao Qin?" Jiao Hong was shocked and lost his voice.

"Of course. Anyone who violates the law, as long as it is within the scope of his authority, will not be soft on those who should be arrested. Meng Yan said loudly.

"Lord Meng. The villain admires your courage. Jiao Hong gave Meng Yan a thumbs up, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But the villain has to remind you, you can't do it yet." ”

"yes, how about we make a bet?"

"How to bet?"

"If I bring Cao Qin to you, you will tell me the truth about Xi'er's death in Su Xinzhai?" Meng Yan smiled slightly, stood up, and stared at Jiao Hongdao.

"Xi'er was killed and has nothing to do with the villain!"

"Jiao Hong, Xi'er's bones were found in Su Xinzhai, and you can freely enter and exit Su Xinzhai that was seized by the government, and the official can only ask you for the truth, this is very reasonable, right?" Meng Yan smiled coldly.

"It's a frame-up, a frame-up, the villain doesn't know that bastard framed me......"

"Who framed you, the official doesn't know, but the official only knows that you Jiao Hong is the most suspicious, because you took all the valuable property in Su Xinzhai, and you are the only one who can enter and leave Su Xinzhai freely?"

"He Wendong, it was He Wendong who did it, it must be him, it must be him, my lord, you will know when you arrest him and ask."

"He Wendong, isn't he friends with you?"

"We are friends, but he also likes Xi'er, and has asked me many times to give Xi'er to him, I don't agree, he must have a grudge, so he killed Xi'er, and then blamed me!"

"You mean, because He Wendong can't get Xi'er, he hates because of love, and then kills Xi'er and blames you, right?" Meng Yan sneered in his heart, this dog-eat-dog scene is really interesting.

"Yes, the villain entrusted Xi'er to him, he must have evil thoughts, forced Xi'er to disobey, and then killed her and blamed the villain, it must be like this!" Jiao Hong hurriedly defended himself.

"Evidence?"

"Evidence, evidence, the villain is now detained here by adults, even if there is evidence, he can't get it out?"

"You can tell the official where the evidence is, and the official can get it himself." Meng Yan Road.

"This ......"

"Could it be that you are deceiving the official, or is Xi'er killed by you and deliberately made up a lie?" Meng Yan pointed at Jiao Hong and snorted coldly.

"No, no, the villain never killed Xi'er, the villain hasn't seen Xi'er for more than a year, I saw He Wendong a year ago, and the villain also inquired about him, he said that Xi'er found someone to marry in his hometown, so I didn't ask more......"

"Jiao Hong, if the official finds He Wendong, do you dare to confront him?" Meng Yan asked.

"Dare, why don't villains dare?"

"By the way, Xi'er is pregnant, you know, when she died, the child in her womb was already four months old." Meng Yan said suddenly.

When Jiao Hong heard this, his body shook suddenly, and the shock in his eyes that was difficult to hide was obvious, and it was obvious that his inner feelings fluctuated a lot at the moment.

"According to your relationship with Xi'er, the child in her womb should be yours, right?" Meng Yan asked.

"Adult, the villain didn't know that she was pregnant with my child, and if she knew, she would never have been sent away."

"This official has investigated, before Bai Suxin's case happened, Xi'er once went to a hospital called Leshantang to see a doctor, and we also confirmed that the doctor diagnosed her as pregnant, so she knew that she was pregnant, and with her relationship with you, she should sue you, but you want to send her away, which is equivalent to cutting off her back road, if you don't want this child, or are afraid that this child will affect you, your motive for killing is much greater than He Wendong." Meng Yan said slowly.

"Adult, the villain really doesn't know, that night the villain noticed that Xi'er's love was wrong, I said that I arranged for her to go back to her hometown to live for a while, and she quarreled with the villain. But she didn't tell the villain that she was pregnant? Jiao Hong innocently defended.

"Okay, that's all for today's questioning, you can read the testimony for yourself later, and if you have no doubts, you will sign and draw the charge." Meng Yan Road.

If I continue to ask, I can't ask anything, today is the first time to pass the hall, and there is still time in the future.

Unless torture is used to extract a confession, that is not what Meng Yan wants, if the case is to be handled as an iron case. Torture can make the case less convincing. It wasn't what he wanted.

"Master Meng, the villain is really wronged, you must be the master of the villain!" Jiao Hong shouted.

"Sign and draw, take it with you."

"This Jiao Hong. It's really cunning and eloquent! Cai Jin took the confession. Shook his head slightly. sighed.

"Take your time, we have time now." Meng Yan smiled slightly, for Jiao Hong. He has the patience to deal with him, and he will definitely confess his sins.

"Skywalker?"

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"Go to Beiya and bring He Wendong over!" Meng Yan ordered Lin Tianxing.

"My lord, what about He Wenhai?"

"For the time being, he is still being detained in Beiya." Meng Yan thought about it for a while and decided to mention only He Wendong for the time being.

"Whoa!"

"Stay safe on the road."

"Tianxing understands!"

Most of Jiao Hong's confessions were expected by Meng Yan, no one would take the initiative to confess their crimes, not to mention that they would definitely die.

Stealing life, that is the instinct of human beings, Jiao Hong himself is a person who is afraid of death. What's more, Meng Yan gave him enough time to weave this lie.

What Meng Yan wants is the lies he weaved, and then use evidence to expose his lies one by one, so that the truth will be revealed, this is what he wants, and at the same time, he also wants to use the attention of this case to help Bai Suxin restore his reputation.

If time were to make up for it, it would be too long, and she couldn't afford to wait for a woman who looked like a flower.

"Mr. Cai, please Niu, Deputy Qianhu Niu!"

"What are you doing here, sir?" Cai Jin was taken aback, Niu Dali was arranged to be a permanent inspector of the yamen, mainly responsible for the security of the yamen, and basically nothing could work for him.

"Naturally, it's a catch!" Meng Yan smiled, now that the time is ripe, the relevant people of the East Factory who participated in the case at the beginning, especially the officials of the East Factory who tried this case, naturally need to pay the price for accepting bribes and bending the law for personal gain.

"Your Excellency wants to arrest Cao Qin?"

"Yes, this official is Cao Qin, Bai Suxin's case, if he didn't secretly collude with Jiao Hong, how could he cause such an unjust, false and wrongful case, so that the innocent woman was wronged?" Meng Yan said loudly.

"My lord, to arrest Cao Qin, you must be cautious, at least inform Dongchang in advance, otherwise once a conflict is caused, it will be a great disaster!" Cai Jin reminded.

"Cao Qin has been suspended now, it stands to reason that he does not belong to the officials of Dongchang, and if the official wants to take him, Dongchang can't make sense, not to mention that this official is ordered by the emperor to handle this case, if someone dares to arrest him, this official can be cut first and then played!" Meng Yan sneered.

Cai Jin smiled, he almost forgot that Meng Yan was ordered to retry the case, and he was holding Shang Fang's sword.

As long as it is justified, even if it kills someone, others have nothing to say.

"Mark Niu vigorously to see Lord Meng!"

"Old Niu, why do you need to be polite!" Meng Yan stepped forward and vigorously helped the cow up.

"Public is public, private is private, Lao Niu can't break the rules!" Niu Dali stood up and clenched his fists and said loudly.

"Lao Niu, this official has already found out that in the case of Bai Suxin's adultery and homicide, the presiding judge Dongchang sentenced Cao Qin, a thousand households, to accept bribes from witnesses and the informant Jiao Hong, as well as the improper relationship between him and the informant Jiao Hong's sister Bai Jiao, who is also the stepmother of the defendant Bai Suxin in this case, and together with the witnesses and the informant Jiao's sisters and brothers, embezzled the defendant's property, and in the course of the investigation and trial of the case, tortured the defendant many times to extract a confession, induced him to make a guilty and confession, and forced the defendant to admit guilt, and his behavior has violated the law of the Ming Dynasty. In accordance with the Daming Law and relevant regulations, the official decided to arrest him and accept the investigation! ”

"My lord, are you trying to arrest Cao Qin?"

"Yes, Lao Niu, arrest Cao Qin, and raid Cao Mansion by the way, please take a trip to this matter!" Meng Yan nodded.

"Arrest Cao Qin, Lao Niu doesn't say a word, but this Cao Qin is not an ordinary person, there are a lot of thugs at home, Lao Niu is worried that if they resist arrest, let Cao Qin run away, it will be troublesome." Niu vigorously said.

"Don't worry, I'll let the treasurer brigade of the craftsman division follow you, and I will follow." Meng Yan Road.

"Okay, with your people pressing the formation, then the old cow won't be afraid!" Niu vigorously patted his chest and took on the task of capturing Cao Qin. (To be continued......)
