In the evening, Chen Jiang wore a washed white and fluffy old clothes, with his hands behind his back, and Zhu Xi wore an indigo thick cocoon silk gown, also with his hands behind his back, half a step behind Chen Jiang, and entered the prison of the Criminal Department.

After walking along the tall and heavy wall for a quarter of an hour, the two of them arrived in front of a courtyard, the cell boss opened and closed the door, and the cell boss in the inner courtyard also hurriedly opened the door and let Chen Jiang and Zhu Xi in.

The courtyard is very small, with three upper rooms, one wing room on the left and one on the left, and a small patio in the middle.

Chen Jiang stood outside the gate of the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, facing the gaze of Quan Deqing, whose feet were locked in the railing of the upper room with iron chains, looked at it for a moment, took two steps back, and ordered the cell leader, "It's better to be outside, find four chairs, and put them here." ”

Chen Jiang pointed to the green and dense ginkgo tree in the outer courtyard, "There is a table to find one, and then make a pot of tea......

"You don't need to make tea, boil the water, wash the pot, and bring four more cups, I will bring the tea leaves." Zhu Xi interrupted Chen Jiang's words, looked at the cell boss and smiled.

Chen Jiang smiled and didn't speak, and the cell boss responded repeatedly, hurriedly moved the chair and table, washed the teapot and found a cup to carry boiling water.

Chen Jiang watched the cell head set up the tables and chairs, and ordered Quan Deqing and Quan Deming brothers to be brought out. Zhu Xi sat down, took out the tea leaves from his arms, and made a pot of tea.

The sound of iron chains was slow and heavy, Chen Jiang watched Quan De clear out the door of the inner courtyard, and raised his voice to order the cell leader, "Go to the iron chains." The cell boss answered, took out the key, squatted down and went to the iron chain on Quan Deqing's feet, and then went to the iron chain on Quan Deming's feet.

"Sit." Chen Jiang pointed to the two bamboo chairs next to him and opposite.

The head of the cell put four chairs around the table, Quan Deqing hesitated, moved the chair on Chen Jiang's side, facing Zhu Xi, opposite Chen Jiang, put the two chairs side by side, and sat down with his younger brother Quan Deming on the left and right.

"Try this year's new tea, the best Longjing." Zhu Xi poured two cups of tea and pushed them to Quan Deqing and Quan Deming.

"Zhao Guirong and your whole family's greed for the silver of the Mohuang Zhuang has been settled, the Zhao family, in the past two months, there has been no one left, Zhao Yongfu's daughter-in-law handed over the case to the Yamen of the Beijing Mansion, begging for a verdict, the Huangfu Yin is approved, the Zhao family is gone."

Chen Jiang looked at Quan Deqing, didn't say half a word of greeting, and went straight to the point.

Quan Deqing listened silently, Quan Deming's face was slightly pale, he loved to listen to books, and at this moment his ears seemed to sing the sentence Hula La Mansion collapsed.

"The whole family's property was confiscated, in order to resist the silver of the ink, the adult male was sent to the far north as a slave, and the female dependents were driven thousands of miles away, at this time, they should have been on the road." Chen Jiang sighed softly.

Quan Deqing's pale face was colorless, and his lips trembled, "You...... You're here...... Send me ...... We ......"

"No, your three brothers, as well as Zhao Guirong, are still handed over to me to assist in the investigation and investigation of the case of the big and small bows, and when the case on my side is closed, we will discuss your brothers and Zhao Guirong's crimes."

Chen Jiang didn't wait for Quan Deqing to finish speaking, then interrupted him and said softly.

Quan Deming took a sharp breath and let out a long breath, Quan Deqing looked at Chen Jiang, his lips trembled, but he didn't know whether to say something or ask something.

"Don't worry," Chen Jiang met Quan Deqing's gaze, with pity and sympathy, "What was confiscated was the family's greedy property and money, and the dowry of the daughter-in-law of the whole family was not among the confiscated, I let people go to see it, and the copied generosity, the dowry, was let them clean up by themselves, and those who could be included were put in, and at least half of the family's floating wealth was saved." ”

Quan Deqing's face turned white, "What do they want so much silver for?" What do you want so many things for? There is no one who is a ding, and they carry huge wealth, and they ......" Quan Deqing's face was pale, and he couldn't go on.

"Idiot!" Quan Deming is also pale.

Zhu Xi looked at Quan Deqing with a surprised face, and then at Quan Deming, "In your family, it stands to reason that there are many female dependents, the daughters-in-law of your three brothers, the two daughters-in-law, how can you ...... Say that they are desperately putting things in the dowry? ”

Zhu Xi turned his head to look at Chen Jiang and asked, and Chen Jiang nodded.

"Why doesn't anyone understand? I look at your brothers, it's rare to be shrewd, your father, I look up to him, how can I be a daughter-in-law? Zhu Xi looked very surprised.

"The rules of our family, the rules of my father, the woman's duty is to abide by it, and morality is the first." Quan De understood his face and replied to Zhu Xi's words.

Zhu Xi looked even more surprised, "I vaguely heard about it, I didn't expect it to be true, this is really ......" Zhu Xi looked at Chen Jiang while laughing, "We have a saying in Nanchenggen, my father is frustrated, and my mother is frustrated, I will say, a shrewd person like the old man who makes people look up to him, how can the qualifications of the three sons be average, look, the old saying is good." ”

"Look at this, your whole family, which is full of women and children, although there is abundant wealth, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself." Chen Jiang looked at Quan Deqing and slowly lifted Erlang's legs.

Quan Deqing's expression was a little sluggish, the whole family was confiscated, the men were distributed, and the rest of the family members were expelled thousands of miles away, he thought about it, thought about it, but when it happened, he still had a blank heart, like a fool.

"Your whole family is ignorant of women, children, and children, and cannot afford to take care of yourself." Seeing that Quan Deqing looked sluggish, and Quan Deming was a little more stupid than his brother, Zhu Xi couldn't help but answer and pick again, "It's easy to think thoroughly, just a group of women and children, just see what you two brothers do." ”

Quan Deqing was stunned, and slipped from the chair to kneel in front of Chen Jiang, "I beg Chen Ye to be kind." ”

"Get up. You get up first and then speak. Chen Jiang hurriedly signaled, and Zhu Xi stood up, pulled Quan Deqing, and pressed him into the chair.
