"Old Fan, everything the official wants to know is written in this letter, the three of you go to the river, keep a low profile, don't make trouble for the official."

"Don't worry, old Fan, I have a sense of proportion."

"But if something happens to us, we're not afraid of it, Lao Fan, you remember, it's okay for us to bully people, but others can't bully us, understand?"

"Understood, sir!" A warm current surged in Fan Xiping's chest, following a chief like Meng Yan, it was green smoke on the ancestral tomb.

"It's for you!" Meng Yan said, "Put some on each of you, and give the rest to Lao Fan!" ”

"My lord, there must be a hundred taels of silver, right?"

"Well, the poor family is rich, it costs money for you to go out to do errands this time, and the official can't let you contribute and pay, but how to spend it on this road, you pay attention to proportion."

"Understand, wealth is not exposed."

"Okay, the official who should be explained has been explained, your family, the official will send someone to inform you, three horses have been prepared outside, as well as dry food and water, which you can use on the road."

"The adults are so careful, we must take care of the affairs of the adults!" Fan Xiping said excitedly.

"Remember, you have to use your brain in everything, don't be brutal, you know?"

"Mark it and remember!"

"You two have to listen to Lao Fan's words, and protect him well, the three of you will come back for me, hear clearly!"

"Hear me clearly!" The three of them said in unison.

"Well, let's go!" Meng Yan waved his hand and sent the three of them away.

"Adults treat them so kindly. They will do their best to serve the Lord. Cai Jin said with emotion.

"Mr. Cai, make arrangements, this official will interrogate Cao Qin for the second time." Meng Yan commanded, control your subordinates, be gracious and powerful, en, let him feel that you really love and maintain them, that is, let them do things according to the rules, not according to the rules. You have to be punished. There are clear rewards and punishments, in fact, this is the truth.

"Whoa!"

For a felony like Cao Qin, handcuffs and leg irons are a must, and he is also put in a heavy cell. Heavily defended.

"Cao Qin. Come out. It's time to get out of the way! Ou Feng came to the cell door and shouted at Cao Qin.

Cao Qin slowly raised his head, with a haggard face. In the past, he locked people up and judged people, but now it was his turn to be locked up and tried, and in just a few days, it was like coming from heaven to hell, and this strong gap made him almost collapse.

The surname Meng didn't have to punish him, so he was locked up here, and no one spoke, and he ate food that even the family dog didn't eat, which was hard to swallow.

Not to mention sleeping, a layer of hay, a straw mat on top, hard, although there is a quilt, but it is hard, and the velvet quilt at home is soft.

It turns out that the feeling of being in prison is so uncomfortable, I really don't know how those prisoners survived.

This is just the beginning, he doesn't know how long this day will be, why didn't the godfather send someone to see him?

Could it be that he was really abandoned as the surname Meng said?

No, no, I have done so many things for my godfather, how can my godfather be willing not to save himself?

"Passing the hall?" What a familiar word.

"Get up, what are you doing?" Ou Feng saw Cao Qin stunned there, and scolded coldly.

"It's coming!"

"Cao Qin, the lord is really kind to you, if you want me to say, you should be tortured for people like you." Ou Feng said.

"You're just a small cell boss, and you dare to talk like this to Ben Qianhu?" Cao Qin scolded.

"Repay the capital of a thousand households, Cao Qin, do you think you are still the arrogant Lord Cao of Dongchang?" Ou Feng was not stunned at all, but said a sentence.

The muscles on Cao Qin's face trembled a few times, but he didn't say anything after all.

"Take it away!"

Two Jinyi Guard captains stepped forward and escorted Cao Qin up.

"My lord, Cao Qin brings it!"

"Bring it in." Meng Yan raised his hand and commanded.

"Whoa!"

Cao Qin was even more haggard than when he first came in, and he completely lost the majesty of the thousands of households in the East Factory.

"Cao Qin, have you figured it out in the past two days, do you mean it or not?" Meng Yan waited for Cao Qin to sit down and snorted coldly.

"Master Meng, what do you want me to say?"

"The sins you committed are focused on the Bai Suxin case, what role did you play, and what do you know?"

"Didn't I say all this in the case file?"

"Did you say that you received eight hundred taels of silver from Jiao Hong?" Meng Yan snorted.

"When did I receive Jiao Hong's eight hundred taels of silver, Master Meng, don't you spew blood?" Cao Qin retorted.

"This is the confession of Cao Fu, one of your subordinates, when Jiao Hong handed you the silver, he was on the side, what he saw with his own eyes, the time, place, and everything he said were on it, do you want to see it?" Meng Yan took out a confession and said.

"Even if I receive eight hundred taels of silver from Jiao Hong, that's my business dealings with Jiao Hong."

"Business, what business does Lord Cao have with Jiao Hong?" Meng Yan asked.

"This has nothing to do with the case, I don't need to sue Lord Meng, right?" Cao Qin said stubbornly.

"You have to make it clear, otherwise the official will decide that the thousand taels of silver that Jiao Hong gave you is a bribe!"

"Master Meng, when did I receive one thousand taels of silver from Jiao Hong, it was eight hundred taels." Cao Qin frowned.

"Oh, yes, it's eight hundred taels, but Jiao Hong has given you more than eight hundred taels of silver, right?"

Cao Qin refused to answer, just now he was equivalent to admitting the fact that he had received eight hundred taels of silver from Jiao Hong.

"What is Jiao Hong's relationship with you?"

"He is a secret agent recruited by the East Factory, and he is not under my control." Cao Qin said.

"But many people say that you have a close relationship with Jiao Hong, and you often go to the Bai family, don't you?"

"Yes, you don't know all about me and Bai Jiao's, why do you still ask?" Cao Qin stood up and pleaded, "It's endless, isn't it?" ”

"Sit down!"

"When did you and Jiao Hong meet, and how did you meet? In what place? Meng Yan asked.

"Master Meng, will you ask about the case, I know Jiao Hong, does this have anything to do with Bai Suxin's murder, could it be that I killed the adult?" Cao Qin said angrily.

"Whether the official will ask the case, don't worry about you, you just need to answer the official's questions." Meng Yan said coldly.

"I don't know!" Cao Qin has an attitude that I won't say, you can do whatever you want.

"Did you rape Bai Suxin's maid Xi'er?" Meng Yan knew that Cao Qin would not open his mouth lightly, except for torture. Something else had to be done to pry his mouth open.

"What?" Cao Qin was stunned.

"Cao Qianhu. Lord Cao, do you need this official to help you recall? Meng Yan sneered and said, "On the night of June 17 of the year before last, you. He Wendong and Jiao Hong. and Xi'er, the four of them ate together at the Riverhouse Hall. You suddenly had lustful thoughts about the young Xi'er, so you let He Wendong and Jiao Hong join forces to get Xi'er drunk......"

"You. How do you know this, and it's so clear? Cao Qin stared at Meng Yan in horror and asked.

"Cao Qin, there is a saying that you must have heard, if people don't know what you have done unless you do it, you may have forgotten what you have done, but others remember it very clearly, do you want to know who sued the official?" Meng Yan Road.

"Who, He Wendong, it must be him, this guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" When Cao Qin heard this, he scolded angrily.

"It's human nature to be afraid of death, this official has a principle in handling cases, confess leniently, resist strictly, the more unwilling to confess, the more aggravated the final sentence, Cao Qin, you must also know that with your crime, I'm afraid there is no chance to go out again, but the way of death is different, how to die The official has the final say, you have seen countless ways to die in Dongchang for many years, and you think which is the most cruel and painful way to die?" Meng Yan asked.

Cao Qin was full of excitement, and the scenes before death in his mind were full of scenes, and the most painful way to die was Ling Chi, who had to cut three thousand knives and wail for three days before he died, and that kind of pain looked creepy.

"Lord Ling Sanqian must be very familiar with it, he is considered an old man in the executioner industry, an ancestral craft, if Lord Cao is in need one day, the official will invite him over to Lord Cao to use the knife."

"No, don't ......"

"Cao Qin, in the officialdom, corruption and bribery are not uncommon, the problem is that human life is at stake, if you can't control your greed, you will eventually ruin yourself." Meng Yan said, "And often in this process of ruin, many people will be implicated, especially your family, who have done nothing but have to bear the sins you have committed." ”

Silence, almost unresponsive silence.

Cai Jin looked at Meng Yan, Cao Qin didn't speak, he couldn't go on like this.

"Wait a little longer!" Meng Yan stopped Cai Jin's inquiry with his eyes, and the words were all said, if Cao Qin really refused to confess, then he could only use unconventional means.

"I don't know if it was Jiao Hong who killed the murderer, but there should be no trace of the fourth person at the scene!" After a long time, Cao Qin slowly raised his head.

"Wrong, it should be the fifth!"

"The fifth?" Cao Qin was puzzled.

"Jiao Hong, Bai Suxin, Li Chenyan, this fourth person is Bai Suxin's maid Xi'er, she is next door!" Meng Yan Road.

"I don't know about this, I didn't go to the next room, I didn't know there was another person in there." Cao Qin said.

"Go on."

"There are traces of fighting in the house, it is very intense, the door frame is broken, the railing outside the door is also broken, the person who does it is good, at least in the East Factory, there is no problem in making a stall."

"How is Jiao Hong's martial arts?"

"His martial arts are not weak, but I haven't seen him do it." Cao Qin said.

"What is the origin of Jiao Hong's sister and brother, and who did Jiao Hong's kung fu learn from?" Meng Yan continued to ask.

"I don't know, he never mentioned it to me."

"Does he have a file in the East Factory?"

"Yes, but in my power I am not qualified to see it." Cao Qin said.

"Oh, you're not qualified, so who has that?" Meng Yan asked.

"At least at the level of the young eunuch stationed in the East Factory." Cao Qin replied.

"According to your power in Dongchang and Cao Jixiang's relationship, can't you check Jiao Hong's file?"

"No, even if my status and power in the East Factory are above them, I still have to abide by the rules that should be followed." Cao Qin explained. (To be continued......)
