Chapter 52: Rebellion and Breaking the Bamboo (5)
Ye Yongjia rubbed his eyebrow bones and was silent.
"I know, Lingzun...... Tinglong, you can't get over it in your heart; However, if the situation of confrontation between the three parties does not end early, and if checks and balances are still sought, the officials and people in Nanjing will fall into endless suffering. Cai Xianqing frowned and said.
"I don't have any opinions," Ye Yongjia said coldly, "I don't think much about it." Since Mr. Cai wants to do this, Yongjia is willing to follow it. ”
Cai Xianqing clapped his hands three times happily: "That's right, Governor Ye!" ”
"But there is no one around me who can get close to Wei Chong, how can I collect evidence?" Ye Yongjia didn't feel relaxed, and then asked.
"I," Cai Xianqing thumped his chest, "Wei Chong always knows me, and it shouldn't be difficult to show favor to him a little, bait and profit." ”
"Another sentence, I will sue this guy alone, it can only be regarded as an orphan evidence, Lord Ye must work hard to cooperate."
Ye Yongjia immediately understood: "Okay." The people who follow him to do things can be used. ”
"Then I'll rest assured," Cai Xianqing made a long gesture, "Cai will go to Wei Chong now." ”
Wei Chong was walking to the stone lion in the yamen with his head bored, and his shoulders suddenly fell heavy, and he was knocked a few steps away.
"Oh, why is Wei Shuban always distracted when walking? That's not good. Cai Xianqing helped him.
Wei Chong dusted his shoulders: "Mr. Cai, have you come to the prefect to catch up again?" ”
"Listen to this, what do you mean to come again?" Cai Xianqing laughed, "The last time I came was calculated by year...... Besides, I'm actually going to see you this time! ”
"I'm running errands, and the old gentleman is looking down on me." Wei Chong squinted his eyes.
"We worked together to have you today. Now I'm going to help you again, but don't waste that great prospect! Let's go, I'll go to Huaiqing Bridge with you for a cup of tea. ”
"Alas, I still have official business, report to Lord Ye......"
"What the fuck is official business, go, go, go!" Cai Xianqing hurriedly grabbed Wei Shuban's arm, and swaggered towards Huaiqing Bridge.
"Anyway, what's the matter with you?" Wei Chong took the tea bowl and saw that there was no one on all sides, so he asked.
"I heard that Chen from Yue Fu has been in prison for many days, but there is still no result." Cai Xianqing sighed.
Wei Chong was full of excitement: "Yes, you want to mix it up?" ”
"Can you give him a confession, the old man will be grateful."
Cai Xianqing pretended to say profoundly, attracting Wei Chong's curiosity more and more: "Please Cai Lao Xianyan thank you." ”
"That's it," Cai Xianqing spread out his hand and gestured a number, "My troupe is very good." ”
Wei Chong took a closer look, it was a five-character character.
"Five hundred taels?"
"Wow, it's not money." Cai Xianqing waved his hand, "Five runs." ”
"What do you mean?" Wei Chong was still puzzled.
"Didn't my troupe go to the south to sing a few months ago, so I went to the king of the county and said that I ran five times to play and act for the officials and masters, and I lost a lot of money, and I was very tight and had a hard time. Ask him to fill this vacancy, and then he will pull the troupe to sing for his old man. ”
"Can the king of the county show this mercy?" Wei Chong pursed his lips, still not convinced.
"The king of Wanjun also uses my line to contact the provincial officials, and he will support my cause with all his might; Besides, his family has a lot of money, and he will not hesitate to deal with it. ”
"How much can you want?"
"Not certainly, but no less than five hundred taels."
Wei Chong was ecstatic, he didn't expect that he could make money for two families by retracting the confession for others, and he made up his mind: "Then I'll retract the confession for you now!" ”
Cai Xianqing knew that this guy was quite shrewd, and he was afraid of arousing his suspicions, so he didn't dare to ask him to leave the documents as a guarantee, so he just made a relaxed appearance and lay down on the wooden chair.
Wei Chong took the confession from the prison, returned to the yamen, and first went to the study to report to Ye Yongjia.
"Lord Ye!"
"Enter."
Wei Chong hugged the confession, put it on the table in front of him, his eyes slipped to Ye Yongjia's face, and asked with a sly smile: "My lord, this is Counselor Chen's confession, can you take a look?" ”
Ye Yongjia didn't care much, leaned over and took out a confession with exactly the same text from under the table, and handed it to Wei Chong: "I've seen it a long time ago, isn't it that he held a banquet for Qi Zhi and accepted bribes." ”
Wei Chong seemed to have been slashed off the top of his head, and scolded in his heart: "Fuck, I didn't think he would make a move!" Do you want to retract your confession for it, thinking that it is a way to balance Nanjing? ’
"That's right," Wei Chong smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid you think that the evidence is insufficient, and it is difficult to arrest him." And I want to be together! ”
"I don't know," Ye Yongjia sneered, "After all, you started the interrogation, and I just read the file for the first time." ”
"Oh......" Wei Chong was forced to speak, and glared at him angrily, "That...... That ......"
"Then you will investigate truthfully, and if there is a grievance, the case will be overturned." Ye Yongjia continued to fight with him without mercy.
Wei Chong seemed helpless, so he had to swallow his saliva and go out stupidly.
"Inspector Jiang, you don't have to hide."
As soon as Ye Yongjia heard this, a person walked out from behind the screen behind him, but it was Jiang Tian who was inspecting.
"Jiang inspected, Wei Chong wants to retract the confession, and he must bring a few henchmen to prevent leakage. Send and ask who will follow him. ”
"Don't think about it, it must be those most trusted officials, they have always been ruthless, and secrecy is also a must, and not a drop of water leaks. The eyes and ears I sent were often too close to me, and I couldn't gather much information. ”
"There is no way to make these people unable to move, forcing him to bring the soldiers of the Inspection Department to interrogate."
"Behind you is the emperor, I'm afraid of doing anything!" Jiang Inspector offered advice, "I wrote to General Liu, saying that these officials are usually conscientious, protect the yamen, inspect the streets, and ask Your Majesty to reward them one by one." Entering the palace on the solstice, can Wei Chong still oppose the Son of Heaven? ”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Ye Yongjia was overjoyed, and according to Jiang's inspection method, he wrote a piece of music on the same day, handed it over to the emperor, and sent it to the town for the New Year.
This letter arrived at Taiwei Guifu in the evening, and listened to Ye Yongjia's play, but when he opened it and read it, he saw that it was an inconsequential matter, so he said to the messenger: "Is Ye Tinglong idle and bored?!" For the sake of a few officials, it is worth telling General Liu like this? I'm too busy to hand it over. You hand it over to Gonggong Shen and let him put it at the head of Gong Liu's door, and talk about it tomorrow morning. ”
The messenger didn't know either, so he obeyed his orders and asked Shen Jing to put the eunuch in front of Liuzhen's house.
Liu Zhen was relieved in the middle of the night, and when he came out, he felt that he was so calm today, as if he had forgotten something. He fastened his trouser belt, walked to the door, and asked the little eunuch who was keeping vigil, "Has anyone come to play the book today?" ”
"Yes."
"Why don't you report it?"
"Taiwei Gui is afraid of disturbing your rest, saying that it is a trivial matter."
Liu Zhennian was still suspicious in his heart, and looked at the eunuch resolutely: "No, bring it to me and see it myself!" ”
