Chapter 153: Coercion
Song Chengxuan walked into the yamen, and the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple arrived one after another, and the secretary distributed the documents related to the case to the adults.
Song Chengxuan was just summoned to cooperate in the case, so he waited in the small room next to him.
Another scholar sent a bowl of tea and said to Song Chengxuan: "You sit wide, if the adults in front of you have an order, someone will come and invite you over." ”
Song Chengxuan nodded, and faintly heard the sound of talking outside, and the three law divisions began to discuss the case.
Although Huang Qinghe has already sorted out the testimony and evidence of the case, in order to prevent mistakes, omissions and misjudgments, you can question them at any time.
"The thieves who stole people's belongings on the Bishui River were the first to find the body."
"Exactly."
"Who caught those thieves? The prince of Anyi? ”
"Why did he just meet him?"
"After the Tan family entered Beijing, they lived in the Anyi Hou Mansion, right?"
Song Chengxuan heard that the person who spoke was Xu Changrong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, who had been sitting on the chair yesterday, listening to Huang Qinghe's case, and did not say anything else except for starting to greet the adults.
Xu Changrong looks calm, but his eyes are erratic, such people generally have to obey people's orders and are driven by others, and they don't dare to take any ideas, so they just came to explore the bottom of other people's hearts yesterday, and they must have told the Zhang family last night, and today they found the key point to question.
Huang Qinghe's voice came: "The prince of Anyi Hou happened to go to the flower boat and met those thieves. ”
Xu Changrong continued: "This is a coincidence, and it is also a coincidence in the Baiyun Temple?" ”
Huang Qinghe continued: "Before this, Tan Guangyao pretended to be stabbed by Tan Guangwen, and the Marquis of Anyi was afraid that Tan Guangwen would kill Sun Ding's family, so he secretly protected it, and also wanted to help the government solve the case earlier." ”
"Listen," Xu Changrong said, "the people of the Marquis of Anyi's Mansion have become masters of solving cases, and they even discovered the murderer and wanted to kill people before the government office. ”
Xu Changrong gently straightened the collar of the official uniform, squinted his eyes at everyone, if anyone spoke for the Marquis of Anyi's mansion, he would immediately refute it, this was explained by Lord Zhang.
One of the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate said: "Why does Lord Xu have to hold on to these, we should check the confession of the prisoner and find the mastermind of this case." ”
"Mastermind?" Xu Changrong said coldly, "If there is a problem with the case from the beginning, you are not afraid of wronging a good person, I think this case has been led by the nose from the beginning." ”
After Xu Changrong finished speaking, he went to look at Huang Qinghe again: "I read what is written in the case file, the one who found Tan Guangwen in Dongshan is also the Anyi Hou Mansion, and the An Yi Hou Mansion sent a message to the Shuntian Mansion, claiming to have found Tan Guangwen's whereabouts, why can the Anyi Hou Mansion find someone who no one else can find?" ”
Huang Qinghe pursed his dry lips: "Because Mrs. Tan and Tan Guangyao are both recuperating in the Anyihou Mansion, it is not an exaggeration for the eldest lady of Anyihou to find something strange." ”
"Yes, that's the biggest problem," Xu Changrong stared at Huang Qinghe, "Lord Huang has been handling cases for so long, do you think you're not as good as a female dependent?"
I heard about the Fengxiang case, this Miss Xu is also involved, a woman who has not been out of the cabinet, she has not learned all three from the four virtues, can she investigate the case? I'm afraid that someone was instructed to do this, and someone who shouldn't have anything to do with this case is now involved, and every step of the investigation of this case has the shadow of the Xu family, which is the biggest problem. ”
Xu Changrong's voice was sonorous and powerful, what he was facing was just a woman like Miss Xu, what could a weak woman do? It's not for anyone to knead, as long as he finds a mistake casually, she will never see anyone again.
Xu Changrong was about to smile lightly, when he heard a small voice say: "Lord Li was also worried about it before, and I also think that what the adults said is reasonable, this case may have been wrong from the beginning, and it has nothing to do with smuggling at all, otherwise according to what is written in the accounts of the Sun family, I am afraid that there will be a big incident after transporting so much saltpeter."
In the past two days, I have been anxious, for fear that I will cause a big disaster if I don't think about it thoroughly, and I won't be able to explain it to the court. ”
This tone is very cold, and when I say it in one breath, there is a bit of irrefutable certainty in it, as if a conclusion has been made.
It sounds like he is welcoming Xu Changrong, but Xu Changrong can't help but be a little frightened, will there be anything big going on with the smuggling of saltpeter? Will it cause a catastrophe and be unable to explain to the imperial court?
In front of everyone's eyes, he can't say that this case has nothing to do with smuggling, and if something really happens, the court will really punish him.
Who is the person who is speaking? Did Hong Chuanting name the Quanzhou envoy who assisted in the investigation of the case?
Xu Changrong couldn't help but think of the difficult Xue Shen, fortunately, this trick was just a petty official, and Xue Shen should not make a big move.
"There are no rules," Xu Changrong snorted coldly, "Who is talking there...... Come forward. ”
There were two people in the next room.
One is Song Chengxuan, who is sitting and drinking tea, and the other is Li Xu, who just pushed the door and walked in.
Before Li Xu could stand firmly, Song Chengxuan's voice came from him, Song Chengxuan took a sip of tea, did not put down the cup, did not look up at him, and said: "Master Li was also worried about it before......
After saying this, Song Chengxuan raised his head and looked at Li Xu lightly.
Looking at each other, Song Chengxuan's eyes were only indifferent, which was in stark contrast to the smiling Li Xu.
It's as if one is standing in the sunlight and the other is in the dark.
One is gentle and kind, the other is aggressive.
It wasn't until Xu Changrong opened his mouth to summon that Song Chengxuan put down the cup in his hand and stood up: "Master Li, let's go together!" ”
Such a scene could not be rejected by Li Xu, and Song Chengxuan walked out of the house first.
Both of them are young and handsome, Li Xu stepped forward and saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly, and Song Chengxuan was also polite and thoughtful, but there was some sharpness on his body that was difficult to hide.
Xu Changrong looked at Song Chengxuan twice, and only felt that this person's eyes were deep, so that people couldn't see what they were thinking: "What did you just say." ”
Song Chengxuan looked at Li Xu: "The first person to mention smuggling was this Master Li, and it was because of this subordinate that he would stay in Beijing, if this case has nothing to do with smuggling, the subordinate is really relieved." ”
When Song Chengxuan said this, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate looked at Xu Changrong: "Lord Xu thinks that this case really has nothing to do with smuggling?" ”
Xu Changrong said coldly: "Who said it has nothing to do with smuggling?" ”
Huang Qinghe raised his head: "Didn't the adults say...... Maybe this case was wrong from the beginning, can't it be investigated like this anymore? That smuggling...... We can't check ......."
was questioned like this, Xu Changrong really hesitated.
Song Chengxuan smiled slightly in his heart, a person who was at the mercy of others naturally had no idea, and this was why he had to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
"Adults know this."
Song Chengxuan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and put it in front of everyone.
Xu Changrong saw a black hole pointed at him.
