Chapter 91: Salt Transport Envoy Liu
"Then, according to your grandfather, the one in the court has already found out about our visit to Gangneung? I guess it's going to be a bit difficult to drag him out. ”
Gu Wanchao frowned, they had been busy for so long, just to be able to wipe out these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but judging from the current situation, they could only deal with Wu Cheng first.
"It's come to this, and I can't do anything about it. The top priority is to find evidence of Wu Cheng's corruption. Gu Traitor Chen shook his head, at this time, it was impossible for them to find out who was behind the scenes, and it was useless to dwell on this.
"Did the smugglers speak?" After Xiao Yu'an drank all the cold ginseng soup on the table, he raised his head and asked Gu Traitor.
"No, these people are very tight-mouthed, and they won't confess anything to Wu Cheng, I really can't figure it out, I can't protect myself, these salt sellers are still so hard-mouthed."
When Gu Traitor Chen thought of those salt sellers who were killed and didn't open their mouths, he also had a headache for a while.
"Grandfather, why don't you let me try?" Since these people don't speak, she asks what she wants to know without opening her mouth.
"You?" Gu Traitor looked at Gu Wanchao suspiciously, obviously not believing that Gu Wanchao would be able to ask what he wanted to know.
"Prime Minister, why don't you let her try, when I was in the capital before, the smuggler I caught was interrogated by her, and she also asked for these news, maybe she can really pry open those people's mouths."
Xiao Yu'an, who was on the side, saw Gu Traitor's suspicious appearance, so he informed Gu Traitor about Gu Wanchao's previous interrogation of the smuggler of salt.
Hearing this, Gu Traitor thought for a while and responded.
"Grandfather, tell me everything you are going to ask, and I'll interrogate them one by one when the time comes."
"Okay."
Subsequently, Gu traitor told Gu Wanchao everything he wanted to know, and Gu Wanchao went into prison with the note that said what he needed to ask.
Gu Wanchao was still fighting psychological warfare with these smugglers, but in a few words, someone had already told Gu Wanchao what he wanted to know in his heart.
Gu Wanchao's final interrogation was Zhou Li, and the moment he saw Gu Wanchao, Zhou Li really understood, he was led by the four of his ancestors and grandchildren from beginning to end.
Ironically, he was taken into custody and didn't even understand how he could be discovered.
"Brother Zhou, don't come unharmed." Gu Wanchao looked at Zhou Li, with a harmless smile on his face, but in Zhou Li's eyes, it was a little crazy.
"You, despicable, actually set up a situation."
Hearing this, Gu Wanchao couldn't help laughing, "Are we despicable? Don't you think it's funny that this kind of thing comes out of your mouth? "A smuggler of salt, who even said that others were despicable, I don't know how he was embarrassed to say such things.
"I still believe in you so much, but in the end, I fell for your plan."
"Isn't it necessary to use some special means to deal with scheming salt sellers like you, by the way, I'm curious, why do you have an official seal on your salt bag?"
Gu Wanchao changed the conversation as she spoke, and talked about serious things.
When Zhou Li heard this, he closed his mouth for a moment, and he was indignant and accused him just now, but now he didn't say a word.
"If you don't say it, I don't know, isn't it just that some officials have stamped your official seal privately, we can still figure out such a simple question."
Seeing that Zhou Li didn't speak, Gu Wanchao directly told his guess.
Hearing this, Zhou Li's eyes really changed, and Gu Wanchao pursued after the victory, and finally learned all the news from the hearts of the salt sellers.
After getting the useful news, Gu Wanchao walked out of the prison door with satisfaction, looking at the testimony that he didn't say anything but was guessed clearly, and he was really puzzled for a while.
"This is the testimony of the salt dealers, and according to the testimony, the Gangneung salt transport envoy was also involved." Gu Wanchao handed over the testimony to Gu traitors, but what they didn't expect was that there was also the handwriting of the salt envoy in this matter.
When Governor Jiang learned of the news, he was immediately furious and sent someone to bring Liu Lin, the salt transport envoy, to the prefect's mansion.
The moment the salt envoy saw the governor, he panicked in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and calm on his face.
"I don't know why the governor summoned the officials here?" The salt envoy casually inquired about the purpose of Lord Jiang's call, as if he really didn't know what was going on.
"So what? See for yourself! Master Jiang threw the salt seller's testimony in front of Liu Lin and motioned for him to look at the contents for himself.
Liu Lin opened the testimony with a puzzled expression, and when he saw the content on it, his hands trembled with fright, and the look on his face suddenly changed from doubt to incredulity.
"Slander! This is a blatant slander, since the lower officials took office as the Jiangling salt transport envoy, they have been conscientious and have never dared to slack off, these are the frames of those salt dealers against the lower officials, my lord. ”
This salt transportation made Liu Lin cry out for injustice, and completely denied what was said in this testimony.
"It's just a matter of framing and checking." Gu Traitor, who had been listening from behind, stood up and let Master Jiang understand what he should do in one sentence.
"Your Excellency." Seeing Gu traitor come out, Lord Jiang hurriedly got up and saluted.
"No, you continue to interrogate, the old man is here to watch, I want to see how hard Lord Liu's mouth is because of this salt luck."
Gu Traitor sat aside, staring at Liu Lin all the time as he spoke.
This Liu Lin was really weak-hearted, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Gu Traitor.
At the moment when he lowered his head, Gu Shi'an had already understood whether he was involved or not.
Subsequently, Lord Jiang asked Liu Lin a few more words, but he still refused to admit it, because there was no evidence, and he could not be detained, so he could only be placed under house arrest in the prefect's mansion.
And Gu Wanchao and Xiao Yu'an were looking for evidence of corruption in Wucheng in all corners of the prefect's mansion.
The two of them turned Wu Cheng's entire study almost upside down, but they still didn't find any clues.
"This Wucheng person looks stupid, but he is very good at dealing with his own corruption and bribery, and he doesn't miss anything at all." Gu Wanchao was tired, so she sat in the study, thinking that the two of them had nothing to gain, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's also a good example, even if it's stupid, how stupid can it be? He was able to make such a big mistake this time, and let us directly wipe out the smugglers in Gangneung City because he was too greedy. ”
Xiao Yu'an sat down next to Gu Wan Chaoye, he looked at the structure of this study, and really felt very strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
