Chapter 14: Siege of the State and Punishment (3)

It is true that Shi Xiushen has to become suspicious because of his own work, or to put it nicely, it is defensive, but this is not his complete nature. Therefore, when he saw Ye Yongjia crying so bitterly, he couldn't help but let down his guard.

When he saw that Ye Yongjia was about to stand up, he stretched out a hand and said with a smile on his face: "Fortunately, my name is Shi Xiushen, and the words are true." ”

Ye Yongjia glanced at his face, then grabbed the strong hand and stood up. "The contemptible surname is Ye, the double name is Yongjia, and the word Tinglong."

"Your work can be regarded as a great one," Shi Xiushen said, "This time to clear out the thieves, and if you play it, you should remember the first gong." I heard Li Yong say, I've tired you these days, go out. ”

Ye Yongjia stood in the courtyard, looking at the clear and open sky above his head, pushing the clouds like white waves, gradually extending into the distance, with no end in sight, making his depressed and desperate mood become clear and open-minded. He suddenly felt as if he had been reborn in the past few days, and the things that should have been worrying were now swept away from his mind.

"How's Lu Deguang?" Ye Yongjia asked.

"Stay in the number room, don't worry. Every few days, he had to rely on Tinglong to interrogate him. Shi Xiu smiled slyly.

"Me?" Ye Yongjia looked at him suspiciously, "No matter what I say, I just know the same thing, such a big case shouldn't be ...... by you."

"It's okay, I think you're more suitable than me for this piece of material," he patted Ye Yongjia trustingly, "I'll just listen." ”

After hearing this, Ye Yongjia was quite flustered in his heart, and his mind was stirred: he would eventually have to face those mountains of ironclad evidence. For him, what he wants to judge may not be Lu Deguang's crimes, but his own crimes.

This is not an easy task. When he sat in the lobby and faced Lu Deguang, he couldn't help but feel uneasy when he opened the incriminating evidence that had been prepared for a long time.

"My lord! Adults are wronged......"

The people outside shouted loudly, and they wanted to rush into the court, and were beaten on their heads and faces by several officials; But after all, there were a lot of people, and some people took advantage of the chaos to slip under the arms of the officials, and the officials hurriedly grabbed the people behind them, and the people in front of them bumped into them again, making them at a loss.

"Send a dozen more people!" Shi Xiushen instructed an officer.

When Lu Deguang saw this situation, he didn't feel angry: "Ye Yongjia, you despicable and shameless villain!" You see how much the people love me! Check it out! Yes, I am an anti-thief, a thief, but I am against the traitor Liu Zhennian! That puppet who scourges the Asahuna! When he turned around, he raised his arms and shouted, "Behold, the faithful are about to die generously!" ”

"Shut up." Shi Xiushen said sternly beside Ye Yongjia.

His unangry and self-righteous appearance made Lu Deguang see it, and he was like a mouse hiding from a cat, and suddenly stopped moving.

"Acquaintance, you can be convicted now." Shi Xiushen said.

"Why?" Lu Deguang asked below.

"Isn't it enough for you to resist the government?"

"I don't think it's enough." Ye Yongjia looked at Shi Xiushen with a resolute expression.

Even a capable person like Shi Siban, who has seen the wind and waves, can't guess him, so he has to spread his hands: "I can't stop you if you want to judge him." ”

Ye Yongjia knew the result of the interrogation. But in the face of this person, it is difficult for Lu Deguang, who has ruined his family and caused him to suffer mentally, it is difficult to maintain calm. He gritted his teeth with hatred, and his intense desire for revenge almost exploded at this moment. If it was reason that warned him to pursue his conscience, then today it is anger that induces him to kill this enemy, first expose his face in front of everyone, and then cut off his head with a sharp knife, so that he will fall into the so-called infernal hell of Buddhism with shame.

He thought that since the struggling morality had caused him to lose his loyalty to Kou Zhong and become an undispersed ghost that gradually attacked his ambitions, why not sink desperately to satisfy his own selfish desires?!

So, he picked up the first incriminating evidence, which was the statistical document that burned the house.

"Prefect, you remember this, don't you?" Ye Yongjia smiled at Lu Deguang, but his hands that clenched the evidence trembled.

"The arson case of the house......" Lu Deguang suddenly realized what Ye Yongjia was going to say. I'm telling you, this thing will drag you into the water......" Lu Deguang said slyly.

"Who to drag into the water? Criminal Lu Deguang, please report that person's name! Ye Yongjia shouted.

"If you dare to say it, then you have the ability to say it!" Lu Deguang did not show weakness, and also shouted.

"You think I don't dare," Ye Yongjia's hand was still shaking, "Isn't that the ......" he swallowed, "Ye Yongjia!" Chen Zhou knows Ye Yongjia! He led his troops to burn down the house and burned twelve people to death! Got it all right! He said, leaned back in his chair, shook his head, and his eyes were crimson.

The originally noisy public hall suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at him.

Shi Xiushen also moved, and turned his head to look at him in surprise.

"Got it......?" Ye Yongjia's voice was weak, "I understand......

Shi Xiushen was stunned for a moment before sneezing.

"Please keep talking." He said quietly.

"Okay." Ye Yongjia collected his emotions and looked down at the file, "Liu Shuban of the household knows about a disgraceful matter, and this matter is another matter; Lu Deguang moved to kill and sent his fellow acquaintance Ye Yongjia to lead troops to burn down the house, so as to kill people and kill people. ”

"You burned down your own house and blamed it on me? Absurd! Lu Deguang smiled contemptuously, but there was no confidence to rely on in his laughter.

"Governor Lu's Mansion is ridiculous! How can Tongzhi have the right to transfer troops? The soldiers I brought are from the Inspection Division, and they only listen to the prefect's orders! ”

"You ......" Lu Deguang didn't say half a sentence before he was interrupted by Ye Yongjia: "Me? If you want to say that I lied to your orders, you should show the evidence! If there is no basis, it can only be regarded as if you sent it. ”

Lu Deguang listened, his eyes widened, and he had nothing to argue with.

"And your servant Li Yong, if you dare to talk nonsense with your eyes open, you can call him over at any time." Ye Yongjia's momentum forced him to almost no way out.

"Let's talk about Liu Shuban again. Liu Shuban witnessed a piece of paper, which was equivalent to a voucher to Xihua County, the current governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, so that he could sell the forbidden private salt with great fanfare, not to mention that the salt was still inferior; So in order to stop the confession, these stories were derived. ”

"Who wrote this so-called 'voucher'?" Shi Xiushen asked.

It was also written by Ye Yongjia,...... Adhering to the instructions of the prefect Lu Deguang. As soon as Ye Yongjia said that, Shi Xiushen next to him saw that his breath was not very stable.

All the people shifted their eyes to Lu Deguang, casting all kinds of eyes; Governor Lu's face became more and more ugly.
