Chapter 173: Cross-examination
"Cao Dewang, do you know why this official is looking for someone to kidnap you?"
Cao Dewang naturally understands in his heart!
It is precisely because I understand that I pretend to be confused!
"I don't know you, why are you arresting me? Be careful, I take you to the government! ”
"Hard-mouthed, this official is this year's new champion, and he was personally named by the emperor as the second grade waiter and the first grade of the Hanlin Academy, do you want to sue the government? Just ask.... Does the prefect dare to take care of it? ”
Cao Dewang panicked!
Is this person really the new champion of this year?
I heard that this year's new champion has won a double official position, and the official rank is big!
"Why should I believe you, what evidence do you have to prove that you are the champion of this year?"
"The official doesn't need to give you evidence, you just need to know that the official is here to arrest you!"
Cao Dewang shrunk his neck. "I'm just a common man, even if you are the champion, you can't mess around!"
"Cao Dewang, as the lord of Qingshui Town, why do you collect a hundred taels of taxes from the people every year, and are you embezzling these collected taxes?"
"What a hundred taels of tax, don't wronged me!" Cao Dewang was afraid in his heart, he couldn't admit this matter!
Otherwise, the calf will be finished!
"Don't say yes, do you? This official heard that you have a son named Cao Shun, and he is still the only seedling of your Cao Mansion! Now in the capital of the Castle Peak Academy! ”
When Qin Yun talked about Cao Shun, his eyes flashed with evil calculations!
And this calculation happened to be seen by Cao Dewang!
Speaking of Cao Shun, Cao Dewang had no bottom in his heart!
He is greedy, but Cao Shun is his only heir, and he will continue the Cao family's incense in the future, so he can't do anything!
Cao Dewang didn't know that Qin Yun's targeted evil smile just now was deliberately made for him to see, in order to let him break the defense!
"My lord, what do you want to do?" Cao Dewang panicked!
Qin Yun walked around Cao Deshun. "This official likes people who are interested, since this official chose to arrest you, he found out about your corruption, and now this official is giving you the opportunity to turn himself in, if you don't cherish it, this official will show the truth to the emperor, and then the emperor will give an order, your Cao family is a big crime full of beheading!"
Qin Yun squatted down and looked at Cao Dewang who was lying on his side. "The new emperor has a bad temper, and when he took the throne, he beheaded all the people he couldn't get used to, and Lord Cao also heard about it!"
"When the time comes, your whole mansion will be beheaded, Cao Shun can't escape, think about it carefully... Cao Shun is the hope of your Cao family, can you bear to watch your hope shattered? ”
Hear that!
Cao Dewang was so scared!
Cao's Mansion is full of beheading?
Don't, don't!
But he wasn't sure how much Qin Yun had found, and if there was any evidence?
Seeing Cao Dewang began to waver!
Qin Yun continued. "Can you get used to living in this place? You must have had a good night's sleep, right? ”
Mention it!
Cao Dewang started crying again! "Woooooooooo
He's spent tonight in horror!
I've never been so scared in my life!
"Lord Cao, the official has limited time, if you pretend, the official has nothing to say, and then the official will enter Beijing to participate in you, and you will be embezzled, and the emperor will wait for the news of the Cao family's beheading!"
"Don't, don't, sir! Isn't it okay to say that the little one is still good? I just ask the adults to spare the small family! Cao Dewang cried a handful of snot and tears!
It was terrible!
"Say, Why do you charge a hundred taels of tax? Are you greedy for all that tax money and grain? ”
"The small ones of the tax silver and grain were only taken 10%, and the rest were all handed over to the imperial court!" Cao Dewang finally broke the defense! If your life is gone, what is the use of taking so much silver?
"The remaining ninety percent turned in? Do you remember the officials who came to the town every year to collect taxes, money, and grain? ”
"That big official hasn't been here, every time he comes, it's the people around him!" Cao Dewang said with tears in his eyes.
Qin Yun squinted his eyes and asked tentatively. "That person is from the capital, surnamed Wei, and the people around him call him Steward Wei"
Cao Dewang's eyes widened, and he thought in his heart that even Steward Wei knew about this person, and it seemed that he really had enough evidence!
"Yes!"
Qin Yun was overjoyed!
Sure enough, it was that Steward Wei who did it!
Which official is that Steward Wei?
I just ask Hongfu not to disappoint her!
"Since you have seen Steward Nawei, you must be familiar with his appearance and voice!"
Cao Dewang didn't speak, and nodded frankly!
"Steward Wei comes to the town every year to collect taxes, silver and grain, do you have a bottom account?"
"Steward Nawei asked the small one to make a fake account, in order to deceive the local prefect to visit, but the actual tax account, the small one is collected in private!"
"Originally, the bottom account, Steward Wei let the small one destroy it, but the little one was afraid, afraid that one day those people would kill and kill him, if the other party dared to do something to the small one, the small one would make this matter public! It's a big deal! ”
Qin Yun nodded, this person is not stupid, but it's a pity that this little cleverness is useless!
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! If you cooperate with the Officer, the Judge can exonerate you! ”
Cao Dewang asked cautiously. "Isn't it.... No more beheading! ”
Qin Yun hooked his lips and smiled. "At present, the official is still uncertain, if you cooperate, you will naturally not cut off your head, if you hide something, and lie in your mouth, it is a great crime! Not only will you be beheaded all over the house, but your crimes will also be told to the people of the world, and you will become a corrupt criminal who is scolded by thousands of people in the Great Zhou Kingdom! ”
Cao Dewang hurriedly shook his head. "Don't, the little one will never hide it, what the adult asks, the little one will answer truthfully!"
"Before dawn, the official will send you back to the house, and after you return to the house, you will secretly take out the tax account to the official, and everything tonight will be as if nothing happened! You can't talk about tonight to anyone else, not even your wives and concubines! ”
"Yes, yes, whatever the adults say, it's what it is!" Cao Dewang is very cooperative!
Qin Yun was very satisfied with Cao Dewang's attitude!
Then hand Aoyama a look!
Aoyama understands!
Then!
Qin Yun met Su Daqian and Wang Sanxi in turn!
Su Daqian is a pervert, this person is even less courageous, in addition to embezzling taxes and silver on weekdays, bullying the maids in the house is a common thing!
Sometimes, when you go out and see which family's maiden family has a look, you basically have to be contaminated before you give up!
This person's confession is the same as Cao Dewang!
It is also to take one percent of the benefits, and the remaining ninety percent is handed over to corrupt officials!
As for the bottom account, after listening to the words of the housekeeper Nawei, it was destroyed honestly, and it was gone!
This man doesn't have so many city houses, has a good woman, and nothing else!
When Qin Yun saw Wang Sanxi!
This man has a bunch of little snakes coiled around him!
Maybe it's Qin Yun's arrival, and the house is bright!
The snakes scattered and fled!
Qin Yun asked the little guy to check Wang Sanxi's body, but there was a bite!
She didn't expect that there would be a nest of snakes here!
It seems that this Wang Sanxi is the worst person tonight!
No wonder Xiao Ju said that this person didn't give her a chance to pretend to be a ghost and scare him! It turned out that I was already scared and fainted!
"My lord, there was no bite on his body, and those snakes just now were not poisonous, they just hovered over him!"
