Chapter 503: Interrogation
Power... Military...
Shen Man'er was sitting in the lobby in plain clothes, and Mu Yingqiu, who was dressed in black brocade, was kneeling on the ground, and there were scattered people kneeling behind him.
"Mu Yingqiu, are you guilty?"
Mu Yingqiu knelt on the ground, but his waist was straight.
The matter of the field is recorded in the government office, and Mu Yingqiu doesn't think Shen Man'er can find out anything.
Later, he had destroyed most of those cotton clothes, and the only few of them could be said to have been deliberately framed.
The matter of disaster relief grain, this matter is even more impossible to investigate, where is the moldy rice and the rice mixed with sand, there is no evidence, it is framed.
As for the gold mine, he could have said that he didn't know anything about it, only that it was a graphite mine, and he didn't know why it produced gold.
"The lower official is not guilty. ”
Shen Man'er didn't believe it, Bao Qingtian, who had admired it for so long in his previous life, couldn't use it at all.
"Mu Yingqiu, don't think that if you don't admit it, I won't have a way to take you, bring someone with a witness. ”
Power... Military...
After a while, the two old and two young walked in, and it was the old He Tou's house that Shen Man'er had been to before.
"Old man, tell me everything you know. ”
"Yes, sir..."
Lao He Tou told his family that there were originally a few acres of thin fields, but how they were later occupied by Mu Yingqiu, and the whole family had to live with the Mu family in the end, and told everything about his son's death.
"Mu Yingqiu, you can admit this. ”
"Lord Qincha, these are all frames, I know this person, his son went into the mountains to cut wood, unfortunately fell off the cliff and died, this old man came to the Yamen to make trouble.
I saw that his family was really pitiful, and I also sent him a lot of food and silver, but I don't think this old man was dissatisfied, and now he is still framing me like this. Adults must be aware of it. ”
As soon as Lao He heard Mu Yingqiu say this, he kept coughing as soon as he saw his improved body.
"My lord, Xiaomin didn't lie, everything Xiaomin said was true, and he was never framed.
He Mu Yingqiu did send food and silver taels to our family, but there was only one bucket of rice and three hundred pieces of silver, but I died of a son, and my son either fell off the cliff and died, or was killed by him Mu Yingqiu. ”
As soon as Lao He Tou finished speaking, Mu Yingqiu smiled proudly, no matter how little things there are, he did send them, and now he can quite say that Lao He Tou thinks that there is less money, so he framed him.
"My lord, this old man just thinks that the money I gave is too little, but there were many people present when his son died, if you don't believe it, you can go and check, he came to testify today, he is framing me. ”
"You, you..."
Lao He pointed at Mu Yingqiu, and his whole body trembled.
"Okay, old man, go down first. ”
Shen Man'er looked at Mu Yingqiu, and she was proud of you, and she didn't believe that you didn't cry later.
"Absenteeism. ”
After a while, hundreds of people crowded the lobby, and they couldn't kneel inside, so they knelt outside the door.
"Who are you?"
"My name is He Niu, and I am from Shacun. My name is Zhou Sheng, and I am from Zhou Village. My name is...... ”
"Tell me everything you know about the mines. ”
"My lord, Xiaomin's name is Liu Bin, he is from Shengzhuang, and he is also a group of people who entered the mountain earlier.
At that time, Mu Yingqiu lied to us and said, let us go into the mountains to chop firewood, take it back to burn the fire for warmth, cut too much, and exchange it for food, there are old and young people in my family, so I went.
But this is not the case at all, as soon as we entered the mountain, we were blindfolded and taken into a mine, and then it was mining day and night, and the ore was pulled away by Mu Yingqiu by car.
At first, I thought about running away, but when a few of my brothers died inexplicably, I didn't dare to run anymore.
At first, I thought that we were only digging graphite, but then someone said that they had seen the golden lumps, and I thought that I would never be able to go back alive, and if the adults had not sent someone to save us, maybe we would all die in it soon. ”
"Mu Yingqiu, can you admit what Liu Bin said. ”
Unexpectedly, after Liu Bin finished speaking, Mu Yingqiu did not have a panicked look on his face.
"My lord, what Liu Bin said is all false.
He and I were not deceived into the mountain, but voluntarily entered the mountain, and everyone here signed a sell-out agreement with me, and they went into the mountain to work, and I gave them money.
These are their deeds of sale. ”
Mu Yingqiu guessed early on that Shen Man'er would let these people testify, so he kept these deeds of sale with him.
Shen Man'er took over these deeds of sale from his subordinates, and sure enough, they were all absenteeism, what was going on?
"There is also the matter of gold mines, these are even more made up by them, our Mu family's graphite is famous far and wide, and that mine has been open for many years, as for whether there is gold or not, I know better than anyone else, there is no gold at all. ”
Hundreds of absentees listened to Mu Yingqiu's words, and their eyes were full of fire.
"My lord, he lied, he forced us to sign these deeds of sale, and we didn't get any money, and he didn't let us leave the mine, and if we didn't have enough to eat or drink, and if we wanted to escape, he would kill us directly.
My lord, what we said is true, we really didn't lie.
Your Excellency, you will avenge us. ”
Shen Man'er looked at these deeds of sale in her hand, according to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, the lives of these absentees were all Mu Yingqiu's.
Unless someone proves that these deeds of sale were indeed forced by Mu Yingqiu to sign them.
"Take them down first. ”
It's so difficult to do, this Mu Yingqiu is simply a hob meat, and there is no cure.
What to do, what to do?
Yes, he still has the evidence that Mu Tian gave him.
"Mu Yingqiu, these are the account books of the Mu Mansion over the years, these can't be fake, they clearly record your land and grain collection in Mofeng City.
Every year, almost all the grain in Mo Fengcheng goes into the Mu family, not only that, but the tax stipulated by the imperial court is forty percent of the grain harvest, but you collect eighty percent, and the extra forty percent also goes into your pocket.
Do you admit it? ”
A drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of Mu Yingqiu's eyebrows, and Mu Tian really handed over the evidence to Shen Man'er.
"My lord, of course these are fake.
Before, Xia Guan said that something big had happened in his family, that is, someone made account books privately, trying to take the opportunity to make trouble in the Mu family, and the accounts in the hands of the adults were not real account books at all, but forged. ”
Shen Man'er threw the ledger on the table, this Mu Yingqiu was really as difficult as a leech.
"Mu Yingqiu, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, pass on Mu Tian. ”
Mu Tian?
Mu Yingqiu stiffened suddenly, Mu Tian didn't die.
