"You're the one surnamed Feng?" Wei Chong glanced at him with his eyes and gently put down the roster, "You soldiers are really not easy to serve. ”

Seeing that he was full of resentment, Feng Catcher didn't dare to reply to him, and swallowed his saliva nervously.

"Let me tell you, Wei is now in charge of the matter of abolishing redundant officials, if you want to commit any crime on weekdays, don't blame me for what I said." Wei Chong's attitude became worse and worse, and his words were full of intimidation.

Feng Zhushi finally couldn't help it, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and shouted at Wei Chong: "I have been innocent all my life, and I have never done anything sorry for people, I hope that Wei Shuban will forgive!" ”

Wei Chong sneered and continued to flip through the roster: "Listen, if you can write a confession, or a confession, and finally press the handprint, it will make you safe." I want you to confess that Ma Si is close to the good people and the relatives around him, and create a proof that he is supporting his henchmen; Also, it is necessary to say that this Ma Si oppressed the township and expropriated the people violently...... Are you willing to confess all kinds of crimes? ”

Feng Catcher wiped his sweat, his eyes rolled hesitantly, and he said cowardly: "Obey the order." ”

"Come, Jiang Patrol, sit."

Ye Yongjia pressed Jiang Tian on the chair, and he didn't say anything, so he asked straight to the point: "Wei Chong has been asking about your people recently, I asked him what was going on, and he said, 'You need to be cautious in cutting redundancy, so you call them one by one to ask clearly', this must be nonsense." Do you know anything about this? ”

Jiang Tian sighed heavily, and looked at him helplessly: "I already know eight or nine." Wei Chong wanted to take revenge on us, so he found a horse catcher to open the knife. When the horse arrester did not admit his account, he called a dozen people to go, wanting to commit perjury, intending to dismiss him from his post and go to prison. ”

"Can you bear it?" Ye Yongjia was indignant.

"The problem is......" Jiang Tian patted his thigh, "Wei Chong now holds great power, and there are Wan and Lu parties standing behind him, and he can't control how many soldiers his subordinates have." If I forcibly stop that guy, I don't matter, but brothers, and you, will inevitably suffer a storm. ”

"What do you mean, let the horse catcher die in vain?" Ye Yongjia shook his head unacceptably, "He's your subordinate!" The ...... you just promoted him"

"Alas......" Jiang Inspector didn't know what to say, grabbed a tea bowl, and drank it in a big gulp.

"You don't have to worry about this," Ye Yongjia's face sank, "His things will be handed over to me for approval after all." ”

Jiang Tian smiled bitterly and slowly left the study, leaving the only sentence left: "For the sake of the stability of Nanjing City, the horse captures the ...... I can't keep it. ”

The dejected Feng Catcher was kicked by the scribe and slipped out of the yamen in disgrace. And Wei Chong leisurely stacked the confession, instructed the scribe to lead the way, and went through the motions - to report to Ye Yongjia.

Ye Yongjia hadn't felt pressure from Wei Chong's body for a long time. When he saw the confession in Wei Chong's hand, he bit his finger nervously.

"What is this?" Ye Yongjia pointed to the stack of papers.

"This is a confession handed in by a catcher surnamed Feng from the Inspection Division, which confesses the evil deeds of his colleague Ma Si." Wei Chong said through gritted teeth.

"I don't have the patience to look at it and say something specific." Ye Yongjia pushed the paperwork aside.

Wei Chong saw that he had forced Governor Ye to be so angry, and he was very helpful in his heart, and he was quite happy to talk a little: "This surnamed Feng said that Ma Si has a lot of fox friends and dog friends, and four of them are Mao Capture of the Inspection Division, Cai Shuren of the Barracks, Liu Yamen of the Yamen, and Wang Liangguan of the granary. His younger brother Ma Wu has nothing to do on weekdays, and uses his brother's name to exploit the people and harm his neighbors for a living. The people he is close to are all officials, and there is a suspicion of supporting each other and forming friends. ”

Second, Ma Si was on guard at the city gate, and often asked for money and silver during interrogation, and if he was not satisfied, he would be beaten and scolded. Although two sins still need to be proven, they are almost clear. ”

"How many people are spared?" Ye Yongjia hoped that he would come up with a number that would be acceptable to him.

"Seven or eight people. But Ma Si committed such a serious crime that not killing was not enough to make the people angry. Of course, the case still has to go deeper, maybe kill more people, and dismiss more officials and ......" Wei Chong smiled fiercely, his voice full of sinister flavor.

The prefect was shocked. He may have watched the heads of nearly ten or even ten more fall to the ground without having to bear any price. If the purpose of taking refuge in the Liu Party is to 'lie down and taste courage', now it has become something to 'stabilize Nanjing'. To prevaricate with such a great ambition is a little self-deception. Is he still standing on top of piles of bones, in the middle of sleepless nights?

Ye Yongjia wanted to crush those innocent white bones with righteousness and awe, which was a way that he despised for him, although this was one of the methods he had been using. Ye Yongjia is very skeptical about the path he is taking, if he continues like this, can he let the country welcome the dawn?

This is the only way for him to live to carry it out, and he tries his best to see wider and bigger, as if he can become a seeker of the big picture, and he will not have sympathy for the cold numbers.

"Good...... Do whatever you want. Ye Yongjia pulled himself back to reality, and after saying it, it seemed that all the pressure had dissipated.

Wei Chong began to take a crucial step. With his confessions in his arms, he staggered them into the official office.

"Lord Baihu." Wei Chong said.

Hu Qi looked extremely indifferent, got up slowly, and waved his hand: "No need. Wei Chong, why are you here today? ”

"Hu Shangshu, I have a confession here, all of which are written by a captive named Ma Si," Wei Chong opened the confession one by one, "Look at it, this person has done a lot of illegal things, and he can't be kept." ”

Hu Qi didn't want to follow his wishes, but when he saw the seal of the prefect above, he couldn't say anything.

"The prefect approved it?"

"Yes, yes." Wei Chong said with a smile.

"Okay," Hu Qi tugged at his beard, "and you want the officials to help you arrest people?" ”

"Yes," Wei Chong said, "but it doesn't stop there. ”

"Say." Hudge looked down and read the confession.

"You help the villain take a look, this Ma Si and his relatives and friends...... Is there any wrongdoing? ”

The sound of flipping books stopped abruptly.

"I'll arrange for someone to do it."

"That's good," Wei Chong was overjoyed, "but you can help me catch someone first." ”

In the middle of the night, Ma Si was still snoring like thunder in his house, and a large area of torches outside the door was lit, surrounding the room.

"Ma Si, you bastard, come out!" Some officers and soldiers shouted.

"Get out!" A few more people shouted one after another, but there was no response.

"What's it called, kick it away," Wei Chong angrily kicked the soldier's leg, "Go up quickly, or the master will treat you as a redundant referee!" ”
