Chapter 337: Leveraging Strength

Wen Yiheng replied: "The thieves didn't know about those letters, of course they wouldn't admit the evidence at first, but Yun Muyou was a member of the Tian family after all, and he really had his own set of methods during the interrogation, and in the end, those thieves still gave in and confessed under the heavy punishment." ”

"Heavy punishment, isn't that a trick to beating?" Su Jiudong frowned slightly, in case the time came for a confrontation in the court, and the thieves revealed that Yun Muyou had obtained a confession by beating him, the scene might not be good-looking.

Wen Yiheng's tone was relaxed, but the words he said were very serious: "I asked him the same question at that time, how do you guess he answered?" ”

Su Jiudong frowned slightly, and guessed: "He should say that these bandits are not important, but the evidence is important, so it doesn't matter if they fight or not?" ”

"Your guess is close to the answer." Wen Yiheng nodded and continued: "Yun Muyou's original words are that we have found conclusive evidence at present, and people's words are not as reliable as evidence, so if those thieves refuse to admit it, they are afraid of pulling the prince and the officials of the court and the central government in. ”

"In the face of such a situation, you only need to beat them once, and if you beat them obediently, they will naturally admit it." Wen Yiheng's imitation can't be said to be colorful, but he has also learned the essence of Yun Muyou's speech," Yun Muyou also specially added at that time that the current evidence is conclusive, even if he fights, it is not a trick. ”

Wen Yiheng was imitating Yun Muyou's tone to speak, although it was not completely similar, but he also learned seven or eight points, so Su Jiudong could also imagine Yun Muyou's expression and tone at that time according to Wen Yiheng's imitation.

"That's how it is...... I thought he would have some powerful means of coercing a confession, but it turned out that it was just a beating. ”

Su Jiudong's opinion of Yun Muyou's use of such radical means has changed, and Yun Muyou is indeed not as generous as he seems.

After all, Yun Muyou is ambitious, and he is a person who has the strength to compete with the crown prince for the throne, he is definitely not a simple character, and Su Jiudong also realized at this time that his previous understanding of Yun Muyou was too one-sided.

Wen Yiheng shook his head lightly and explained to Su Jiudong what was powerful.

"Don't underestimate this beating, sometimes someone can't force something out of the prisoner's mouth when he uses a heavy sentence, but if he changes someone, he also uses a heavy sentence, but he can make the prisoner obediently confide the truth, and there are many unknown doorways."

Su Jiudong suddenly raised his voice: "I also know a little bit about this, the most famous person in the past and present should belong to Lai Junchen, right?" I remember the matter of inviting you into the urn very deeply. ”

Wen Yiheng also had a further discussion with Su Jiudong's topic: "Yes, Zhidu during the Jingdi period, Zhang Tang during the Wudi Dynasty, and the monarchs and ministers during the Wuzhou Dynasty, etc......."

"The reason why the imperial court allowed the existence of such cool officials was to extort confessions by torture, which shows that interrogation is indeed a science, and they used cruel methods to conduct interrogation, manufactured torture instruments, and set up a large number of prisons, and the methods of interrogation were also very cruel, and finally went astray."

Su Jiudong sighed: "It only took one night for Yun Muyou to force those thieves to admit these trumped-up charges. He may not be as cruel as the above three people, but at least the means are not inferior to them, and he is really not a simple person. ”

After Wen Yiheng witnessed Yun Muyou's interrogation of the thieves last night, he also changed his opinion of Yun Muyou: "In this way, he does have the strength to compete with Yun Mulin, and it is indeed a wise move for you to attract him to deal with Yun Mulin." ”

Su Jiudong smiled: "I didn't think about it so much, I just didn't want you to come out to face Fu Yun Mulin, after all, the antagonistic relationship between you and Yun Mulin is known to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty." ”

"If you come forward to report and expose Yun Mulin, the situation will not be in your favor, and even Yun Mulin may take this opportunity to beat him up, saying that you fabricated evidence to slander him, it will be even more unfavorable to us."

Su Jiudong sat up straight, his tone was slightly excited: "Anyway, Yun Muyou also intends to compete with Yun Mulin, so it is better to let them fight their own family, so as not to harm us." ”

Wen Yiheng expressed his high appreciation for Su Jiudong's unintentional whimsy this time: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, in short, it is good to bring Yun Muyou in, but it can help us invisibly." ”

"Regardless of whether Yun Muyou can really help us in the future, I just hope that he can take the bait smoothly this time." Su Jiudong nodded while listening, and thought carefully in his heart about the possibility of cooperating with Yun Muyou in the future.

Wen Yiheng immediately replied: "Since he took the initiative to go to the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing to participate in the interrogation last night, he has already taken the bait. ”

"After your father deliberately handed over the letter evidence to him last night, he was able to use the evidence to interrogate the thieves, and it can be seen that when the court confronts him in the future, he will definitely show these letters as ironclad evidence to defeat Yun Mulin."

"Then before he left last night, did he reveal when he would inform the Holy Lord of the matter?" Thinking that the opportunity to bring down Yun Mulin was imminent, Su Jiudong's voice couldn't hide the excitement.

Wen Yiheng replied: "Until the early morning when I left the barracks, Yun Muyou was still in the barracks to discuss with your father, it is estimated that he will have to stay for a while, there are still things to prepare in the future, maybe he will keep some more time before informing the saint." ”

To Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng's surprise, on the third day after the interrogation, Yun Muyou went to the Wude Hall with the letter evidence, and informed Emperor Tianduo of the collusion between the crown prince Yun Mulin and some court officials and local aliens. Worry-free Chinese network

Yun Muyou didn't want Yun Mulin to be concerned by Emperor Tianduo, but now that he finally got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

Now that the crown prince, some courtiers and foreigners secretly colluded with each other was directly exposed by Yun Muyou, and Emperor Tianduo, who was sitting behind the dragon case, was also very uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles.

"Father, this matter is very involved, even the prince is in the layout, it can be seen how powerful the members of my court and the central government have formed a party and run a private business, if my father does not take this opportunity to rectify it well, I am afraid that it will hinder the society of my Dayin Dynasty."

Yun Muyou's attitude was so sincere that Emperor Tianduo, who had always been moody, was rarely embarrassed in front of his son.

After thinking about it, Emperor Tianduo decided not to answer Yun Muyou's question directly for the time being, and instead asked Yun Muyou a question.

"Mu You, you said in the excerpt that you learned about this matter when you were trying to capture the bandits...... I remember that the matter of clearing the thieves has been handed over to Su Fenglan to deal with, and Wen Yiheng is also assisting in it, why are you involved in it? ”

Yun Muyou was immediately vigilant, he couldn't pull Wen Yiheng into it.

It's just because of such a trivial matter as clearing the bandits, it would be most suitable if he was the prince Yun Muyou, the prince, to practice, but this matter inadvertently involved Su Fenglan's life at the beginning, forcing the general's daughter to come forward to pay the ransom and change the general, and the matter will be big.

When Wen Yiheng participated in the interrogation of the thieves last night, he also mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that the reason why he was interested in clearing the thieves this time was entirely because of Su Fenglan.

Seeing that a trivial matter of clearing up the bandits, but there was a military attachΓ©, and the prime minister of a country participated in the interrogation, Yun Muyou, as the prince, no longer had sufficient motives and reasons to meddle in the matter, but seemed to be overstepping.

Only when Wen Yiheng did not participate too much, Yun Muyou's intervention would not be criticized too much, so Yun Muyou decided to hide Wen Yiheng, and only replied selectively.

"It's just because your father, you once said that you would leave the matter of clearing the thieves to Erchen, but General Su inadvertently cleared the only two remaining cottages in the suburbs of Beijing, so Erchen was very curious."

"In addition, Erchen was already very concerned about this matter, and then he had the opportunity to participate in it, as for Wen Xiang...... "Yun Muyou deliberately paused when mentioning Wen Yiheng, creating a feeling that he wanted to say it but couldn't say it for other reasons.

Emperor Tianduo was really hung up by Yun Muyou: "What's wrong with Wen Xiang?" ”

"Wen Xiang did assist General Su in clearing and arresting the bandits, but only to the extent of assisting from the side...... Because Wen Xiangri had a lot of opportunities, he did not participate in the subsequent interrogation, and General Su was willing to hand over this opportunity to his sons for interrogation. ”

Emperor Tianduo was not very satisfied with Yun Muyou's answer, but he really couldn't find fault with it.

Because Wen Yiheng does have a lot of official affairs to deal with, and Emperor Tianduo, who is the Son of Heaven, cannot hand over such a matter as the liquidation of the thieves to the first-class Wenchen and military generals to try together, which is overkill.

Although Emperor Tianduo couldn't find fault with Yun Muyou's answer, he could still pick out thorns from other aspects, and Emperor Tianduo pointed to the letter on the dragon case and asked.

"Su Fenglan is willing to let you try the thieves together, and it just so happened that the thief you interrogated provided these letters?"

Emperor Tianduo asked this question, most of them just wanted to find an excuse to find a thorn, and a small part of the reason was also to question Yun Muyou's coincidence.

Emperor Tianduo has always regarded Yun Muyou's poems as an obedient and sensible child, and in recent years, because Yun Mulin has firmly sat on the throne of the crown prince, Yun Muyou's mind has gradually stopped.

Therefore, Emperor Tianduo would no longer think about Yun Muyou's motives in the direction of fighting for the throne, so at this time, the doubts about Yun Muyou were only a small part.

Yun Muyou noticed that Emperor Tianduo's tone when he asked was not serious, so he judged that Emperor Tianduo was just an ordinary question, so Yun Muyou also answered calmly and calmly.

"This matter can be coincidentally encountered by Erchen, and it is no coincidence that the book is not written, and a large pile of stolen goods and evidence found from the cottage are all over the place, and only the small stack of letters has attracted the attention of Erchen."

"Those who have fallen into the grass are outlaws, and most of them have never read, let alone read and write. That's why the sons were suspicious of these letters. ”

"And the results of the final interrogation also proved that the letters were not written by the bandits, but were brought with them in the cloth they had looted when they robbed a cloth farm."

"So these letters were not written by the bandits, but from Buzhuang? Which cloth house is it? ”
