Chapter 405: A statement written by Zhao Gongzi

"But there's a little trouble in this matter." Wei Mingjie suddenly spoke, making Zhao Gongzi's heart that he had just put down rise again.

"What's the trouble? Even if Lord Wei speaks out, what can be solved in the next place will definitely be solved. At this time, Zhao Gongzi knew that he was only one step away from the success of his plan, as long as Wei Mingjie opened his mouth and agreed, then he would be able to stay at ease in Jiangnan.

"I'm here to investigate the case in Jiangnan, if I go back like this and don't have a result, I'm afraid there is no way to make a difference, why don't you write a statement for this official?"

"Statement? No problem. Zhao Gongzi hurriedly sent someone to bring pen and ink and wrote it down according to Wei Mingjie's dictation.

In this statement, Zhao Gongzi wrote that he had killed the man by mistake, so that he would not have to go to jail, and the capital would only need to pay some silver.

In order to get rid of his guilt as soon as possible, Zhao Gongzi quickly wrote this statement, and after reading it himself, he handed it to Wei Mingjie, who took it and looked at it a few times and put it back.

"You still need Zhao Gongzi to sign and draw a pledge, otherwise there is no way to explain it."

"Signed?" When he got here, Zhao Gongzi hesitated a little again, "What? This statement was written by you, Zhao Gongzi, can't you even sign it? ”

After thinking about it, Zhao Gongzi felt that what Wei Mingjie said made sense, so he signed on each piece of paper and drew a charge.

"Good."

After taking this statement in his hand, Wei Mingjie showed a satisfied smile.

"Come on, bring the prisoner Zhao Gongzi down to me!"

"What? Lord Wei, you ......" After hearing Wei Mingjie's words, Zhao Gongzi suddenly fell to the ground, didn't he say it just now? Why do you want to take yourself down now?

"Zhao Gongzi has just told the official the truth, and the palace already knows, do you have any questions about taking you down?"

"The surname is Wei, you don't have to make an inch, this son has your handle in his hand." At this point, Zhao Gongzi showed his true face.

"I don't know what kind of handle Zhao Gongzi has?"

"Don't forget, you took all the money before, if this matter is known from above, your black gauze hat will not be guaranteed, and this son doesn't mind losing both."

"When the official received this case, he had already written to the higher authorities for instructions, and all the silver received in it would be handed over to the treasury for disposal."

After hearing Wei Mingjie's words, Zhao Gongzi couldn't wait to slap himself hard, he didn't expect that the money he used to get Wei Mingjie was actually handed over by him, so that he could not only arrest himself, but also get the name of a clean official.

I spent so much money, but in the end I ended up with such a fate.

"There is no basis for what the words said, who can testify to what this son said to Lord Wei? Lord Wei, don't tell me that Miss Shen can testify, she is a person from Lord Wei, and what she says can't be counted. ”

At this time, Zhao Gongzi still had a bit of luck, feeling that Wei Mingjie didn't have his own evidence in his hands, so he couldn't put himself in prison at all, but he didn't expect Wei Mingjie to raise the statement he had just written.

"Who says without evidence? The credentials are here. ”

"What kind of credential is that?" After seeing Wei Mingjie's movements, Zhao Gongzi smiled.

"It's just a statement, even if I sign it and draw it, it can only mean that I accidentally killed him, and I didn't deliberately hurt him as Lord Wei said."

"This official wants to advise Zhao Gongzi, and he should take a closer look at it when he signs and draws the charge in the future."

Wei Mingjie flipped back, and the handwriting on the last piece of paper was not just Zhao Gongzi's, but a letter between him and those officials.

Originally, this was nothing, but more importantly, he also signed and drew a pledge on it, which became an ironclad evidence, and he couldn't refute it at all.

"Where did you get this thing from?"

"Zhao Gongzi, don't care how the official got it, in short, you will pay the price for what you did. You could also say that you didn't write it at all, but someone has to believe it. ”

"You called them to come and confront me, I definitely didn't write it!" Zhao Gongzi was already a little hysterical at the moment, he shouted loudly, he didn't want the guards to take him to prison at all.

"Zhao Gongzi ......" Several officials came to the door at this time.

"You say, 'Have you ever seen this letter?' Is this a letter exchanged between this son and you? ”

Several officials didn't dare to look at Zhao Gongzi's eyes, but whispered a few words to Wei Mingjie: "Back to Lord Wei's words, these letters are indeed written between me and Zhao Gongzi, and what they say is also true, begging Lord Wei to open up to us." ”

Several of them were originally on the same front as Zhao Gongzi, but Wei Mingjie didn't know how to intercept the letters exchanged between them.

When this evidence was placed in front of these officials, they immediately abandoned Zhao Gongzi in order to protect themselves, forgetting the agreement they had made with him before.

"You ...... You ......" Zhao Gongzi trembled with anger, pointing at them and couldn't speak for a long time.

"The human and material evidence is there, take it down!" As soon as Wei Mingjie gave an order, the two guards carried Zhao Gongzi, who was already paralyzed to the ground, to the prison to wait for disposal.

After staying in the prison in Jiangnan for a few days, Dali Temple will send someone to take Zhao Gongzi directly back to the prison in the capital, and there are other officials to complete the rest of the matter, and this person and Zhao Gongzi's father are rivals in the court, and they will definitely do things in strict accordance with the law.

"My lord, then we ......" Several officials hurriedly came to Wei Mingjie's side after seeing Zhao Gongzi being taken down, and they asked Wei Mingjie for forgiveness, but they told him everything.

"I will consider the affairs of several adults, as long as you can tell the truth, it can be forgiven."

"That's good, the lower officials have thanked Master Wei." Several officials were also relieved to learn that their matter had been resolved.

"I wonder how long Lord Wei will stay in Jiangnan?" They had heard Wei Mingjie say before that once the matter here was over, he might return to the capital.

"Stay for another two or three days, and the official will return to the capital."

Hearing Wei Mingjie say that he would return to the capital, Shen Bing's ears moved. She'd been around the neighborhood for as long as she could remember, and she had never been anywhere else.

Knowing that Wei Mingjie was leaving soon, these officials were very happy in their hearts, but they couldn't show it on their faces.

"On the day we leave, how about we practice for adults?"

"No need, if a few adults are drunk, they don't know what they will say."

Wei Mingjie left the place after teasing them, leaving them to look at each other on the same ground.

"Fortunately, Lord Wei opened up to us this time, otherwise we would all be affected by that Zhao Gongzi, I knew that this would be the case, and I shouldn't have agreed to him about this in the first place."

"Forget it, it's too late to say anything now, it's good that a few of us can keep the black gauze hats on our heads." Several people sighed, but they didn't expect it to be such a result in the end.

On the carriage back to the house, Shen Bing kept looking at Wei Mingjie, and only after he looked embarrassed did Shen Bing speak.

"Did Lord Wei prepare for it a long time ago?"

Shen Bing thought that this was just an ordinary visit, but he didn't expect that those officials, as well as the letters that Wei Mingjie took out, finally became the straw that overwhelmed Zhao Gongzi.

"Actually, I only learned about such a thing the day before, so I could only make this plan overnight, and I didn't have time to say to Miss Shen to ask Miss God for forgiveness."

Wei Mingjie scratched his head, for fear that Shen Bing would be angry, and cautiously apologized to her.

"Miss Shen?"

Wei Mingjie waited for a long time and didn't wait for Shen Bing's answer, looked up and found that Shen Bing was looking at him with a serious face, and he immediately panicked in his heart.

Are you really angry? What should I do now? I knew that I should have told him this plan overnight, but I couldn't disturb her at such a late hour, and now I ......

Just when Wei Mingjie kept guessing Shen Bing's thoughts, Shen Bing on the other side suddenly burst out laughing.

"Where did Lord Wei, who was calm and calm just now, go? How did it become like this? After realizing that Shen Bing was deliberately teasing himself, Wei Mingjie also smiled.

"Under ...... In the next ......" Wei Mingjie looked left and right, not knowing how to talk to Shen Bing, through this time of getting along with Shen Bing, she has been deeply imprinted in her heart.

When I was alone in the room, all I thought about before I fell asleep was Shen Bing's face, and Shen Bing was very smart, and many times he had his own unique opinions, which helped him a lot.

The idea in his heart had been stirring, and it had taken root since the first time he saw Shen Bing.

"What is Lord Wei in a daze?" Shen Bing suddenly stopped when he saw Wei Mingjie talking, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

Wei Mingjie immediately reacted: "I want to say that since the matter is settled, and we are also leaving Jiangnan, why don't you go with Miss Shen?" ”

"Of course I'm going to be with Lord Wei, otherwise I won't have anywhere to go." Shen Bing said what he thought in his heart straightforwardly, but in Wei Mingjie's ears, it changed to a different meaning.

"Really...... It's true? ”

"Nature is true." Shen Bing looked at Wei Mingjie like this and smiled a little. The two returned to Wei Mingjie's house in a somewhat embarrassing atmosphere.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Wei Mingjie didn't have time to talk to Shen Bing and quickly returned to his house.
