Chapter 59: Approaching the Truth Part I

What's going on?

Chen Sheng didn't know if Ling Suyun acted well, or if he really didn't know anything about this matter. Immediately said solemnly: "Miss Ling, I have a few questions for you, please be sure to answer me clearly, this is related to the lives of thousands of people in your Ling family." Got it? ”

Hearing Chen Sheng's gloomy words, Ling Suyun not only was not afraid, but said angrily: "You dare to threaten me? My Ling family is a family that has been protected by the imperial court and rewarded by the emperor, just rely on you, want to destroy my Ling family? ”

"Well, it's a little pepper." Chen Sheng secretly said in his heart, and then he sighed very emotionally, could it be that this Ling Suyun really didn't know that his family had been involved in a whirlpool? Or is the city government deep, pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of him? If the former is fine, if the latter...... A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is already so scheming, won't it be even more rebellious in the future?

Chen Sheng smiled indifferently. looked around, and sat down on Ling Suyun's small bed. This journey has been hard work to the extreme, and Ling Suyun poured a pot of boiling water fiercely, and his skin was still burning. Chen Sheng felt deep tiredness, so he could only sit down and wait slowly for his strength to recover. When Ling Suyun saw Chen Sheng sitting on her bed, her face suddenly darkened. Chen Sheng couldn't see it, and deliberately made a deep sniffing expression, which made Ling Suyun tremble with anger, and he was about to stab him with the dagger in his hand.

The burning pain on his skin continued, fortunately, it was cold, Chen Sheng's clothes were relatively thick, and this pot of boiling water had also been carried by Ling Suyun in his hand for some time, otherwise he would have suffered more than that.

There was a stove in the cabin, so Chen Sheng, who was already half soaked, didn't feel cold, just a little embarrassed.

After sitting down, Chen Sheng immediately had a gloomy face and asked Ling Suyun: "Let me ask you a question first, is this fleet your Ling family's?" ”

"Not bad." Ling Suyun, who was leaning against the bulkhead, still looked at Chen Sheng with a wary expression. But after thinking about Chen Sheng's words carefully, she also felt that things might be a little strange.

"Do you know what this fleet is doing?" Chen Sheng's voice became more and more gloomy, and his interrogator liked to exert psychological pressure on the interrogator, seeking to break through the opponent's psychological defense.

"I don't know. This fleet was leased by our Ling family to carry goods to others. Ling Suyun's answer was loud: "No matter what is transported, it has nothing to do with our Ling family." ”

Chen Sheng smiled. This Ling Suyun is very smart, and when she answers, she will excuse her family.

"It's irrelevant, right, then how to explain that you and Ling Fengdu are on the boat?" Chen Sheng asked again: "This fleet has been continuously transporting grain purchased from all over the empire to all parts of Lingnan for half a year, and funding the southern barbarian kings. Chen Sheng said slowly.

"What?!" Ling Suyun's voice trembled, and she asked urgently, "What did you say?" Obviously didn't believe what Chen Sheng said.

Chen Sheng repeated the words and continued: "Now the imperial court has suspected that your Ling family is mainly responsible for this matter, my teacher Wei Yu has been recalled to Xianyang, it is estimated that he will let the old man preside over the matter of dealing with your Ling family, if you are innocent, quickly prove it, if it is really you who did it, then it is not wronged, your behavior has caused great damage to the imperial army of the Southern Expedition, the army has suffered heavy losses, the emperor is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed, blood is flowing, your Ling family is buried for the dead army of the Southern Expedition, And as it should be. ”

"You!" Ling Suyun's face was pale, and the dagger in her hand was pointed at Chen Sheng, trembling constantly, obviously in anger, she couldn't even speak.

Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Miss Ling, don't you want to say something?" Do you want me to give you some hints, such as how your family's fleet appeared here, and why the Ling family paid a large amount of wealth to the imperial court for no reason last year, and how you and Ling Fengdu Ling Gongzi appeared here, I think, you should have a very reasonable explanation to tell me. Speaking of this, Chen Sheng continued: "Tell me what you know, and prove the innocence of you and your family, otherwise, after dawn, the army led by Fusu Gongzi and General Meng Yi will invade here, then you will not be able to argue with this fact even if you have a hundred mouths." ”

Ling Suyun trembled all over, in the family, she was extremely wise and articulate. People of the same age, even those who are ten or eight years older than her, may not be as capable as him. But half of her strength is based on her ability, and half is because Ba Qing favors her, and no one dares to challenge her majesty.

And who is Chen Sheng? In his previous life, he was a special military doctor, in addition to saving lives and helping the wounded, sometimes he had to work part-time as an interrogator to interrogate prisoners, and he had a lot of research on psychology.

Ling Suyun listened to Chen Sheng's words, and finally understood that her family was involved in a political whirlpool, and her heart trembled. From the information that Chen Sheng revealed to her, combined with some of the things that happened in her family, she understood what was going on! "Ling Fengdu! Ling Fengdu, this idiot, this bastard! Ling Suyun bit her lip and said fiercely.

"Oh?" Chen Sheng was immediately interested.

Ling Suyun stared at Chen Sheng deadly, and then said, "Ling Fengdu is the only son of my cousin, and my cousin Ling Xiaofeng is the ...... in charge of the family fleet."

It turned out that around May and June last year, Ling Fengdu, who had always been a gentleman, actually started to do his business and began to meddle in the family's affairs. I brought a friend home, and it is said that this friend is a wealthy man in Shandong, surnamed Jia, and named Liang. To lease the Ling family's fleet to transport a batch of goods, the rent given was heart-wrenching.

The Ling family's fleet is very large, with nearly five hundred large barges, each of which is a large ship that can carry two thousand stones, and this Jia Liang actually opened his mouth and wanted to rent the Ling family's fleet at one time!

At that time, it was Ling Fengdu's father Ling Xiaofeng who was in charge of the transportation of the fleet, and the father and son thought it was profitable, so they agreed, and reported the matter to the patriarch Ba Qing. Ba Qing and Ling Suyun did not agree to this matter, because the fleet was originally to transport the Ling family's own goods, and every year the Ling family sold a large number of self-produced cinnabar and Shu brocade from Ba and Shu to all parts of the country.
