Chapter 53: Telling the Government and Attacking the Weak (1)
Ye Yongjia saw that some people were moved, and said even more excitedly: "Now is the time for a decisive battle in Nanjing, if you are willing to stand on the side of the Inspection Department, you will not be blamed for the past and be reappointed; But if you still want to ask for some benefits from Wei Chong, you won't have a chance to turn back. The skin between the Wan Party and the Liu Party is about to be torn apart, even if you consider the interests and interests, who loses and who wins, weigh and weigh. ”
Those people were so frightened that they shouted yes, and as soon as these words came out, they all fell silent and rubbed their hands nervously.
Jiang Tian hurriedly glanced at Ye Yongjia, which means: You shouldn't say that.
Ye Yongjia was complacent, and also signaled to Jiang Tian - it's okay, let them think for a while.
"Lord Ye!" One of them stood up, "I am willing to spy on Wei Chong for you and make meritorious contributions!" ”
As soon as this person shouted, all the soldiers looked at each other, so they all responded and said: "I am also willing!" ”
After hearing this, Jiang Inspector immediately applauded, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers: "Get out of the way!" ”
In order to prepare for Chen Tong's retraction of confession, Wei Chong began to plan at home since twilight, and then went to the Lu Mansion to ask for instructions.
He first wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, then pointed to the officials and asked, "Before...... What about the people I arranged? How dare you! ”
"This is His Majesty'......"
"What must be!" Wei Chong pinched his waist and said menacingly, "They are all strong and strong, and they can't get sick; On weekdays, he is conscientious and conscientious, and he never spits out tired words, why are they still absent from his post? It's clear that you are secretly making trouble, questioning the authority of the master, and plotting against me! ”
"This is an order from His Majesty the Emperor, Governor Ye said it himself, and we don't know what's going on......" Those officials were scolded so much that their faces turned white.
"Fuck!" Wei Chong threw down the horsewhip in his hand and walked inside.
"Wei Shuban, hot like this?" Ye Yongjia saw Wei Chong striding over, his hair was sweaty, and he hurriedly smiled and asked him to sit down.
Wei Chong hurriedly made a fuss, and then asked anxiously: "Lord Ye, what kind of edict did Your Majesty issue to call those good officials?" I was thinking of taking them to review the bill, but who knows...... It's unreasonable, isn't it? ”
Ye Yongjia knew that he was here to ask about this, so he didn't seem surprised: "Oh, it turned out to be this matter." This morning, His Majesty came to the will, saying that the few officials you picked guarded the yamen, inspected Nanjing, and protected the people, so please go to the palace to be rewarded. Originally, you chose people with your discerning eyes and wanted you to follow, but because the big case was unsolved, you still need to contribute, so I just felt it. ”
Wei Chong's head suddenly 'buzzed', he gritted his teeth, but his face turned white and yellow, unable to hide the shame and anger in his heart.
Ye Yongjia pretended to turn a blind eye, and just said: "Clerk, although those people are shrewd and alert, they are indispensable, and the rest of them are at your disposal." ”
Wei Chong sighed secretly, the wood was already in the boat, and he had to watch one step at a time.
"That ......," his mind was spinning rapidly, "there are many soldiers in the inspection department, and it should be enough to send someone to the prison with me." ”
Ye Yongjia smiled lightly, and immediately persuaded him: "If you have some soldiers by your side, isn't it just to pass on documents, and there are multiple people who call them, so you don't have to be so picky." ”
"You're right, you're right......" Wei Chong wanted to end the topic more and more.
Inside the prison, the lights are bright.
A servant took the tray of rice from the head of the cell, then walked to Chen Tong's cell, knocked on the railing, and sent it from below.
Chen Tong crawled out of the corner, grabbed the chopsticks, and asked the jailer: "Severed head rice?" ”
"It's not." The man then stepped out of his sight.
"It shouldn't be ......," Chen Tong muttered, picking up the rice with anxiety and eating it with chopsticks.
"My Wei Ye, you're here!"
The shout of the cell boss outside frightened Chen Tong to throw his chopsticks on the ground and almost hit the bowl. He cautiously lowered his head to pick it up, and saw that Wei Chong had already come from the opposite side.
"Don't mention it, Governor Ye won't let us be comfortable," Wei Chong walked at the front, complaining to the cell boss, "Breaking away my most powerful henchmen makes me feel unstable now......"
"Oh, Wei Ye rest assured. Isn't his purpose Ye Yongjia to listen to the truth and reality, I am impermeable here, and it is not a big deal to lack those few good ears and eyes. The cell boss replied grovelingly.
"Well, I don't think anyone here is going to leak secrets."
Before Wei Chong's words fell, he had already stepped in front of Counselor Chen's cell, and beckoned him to take him out for interrogation.
He caught a glimpse of Chen Tong's downcast appearance with cold eyes, and said softly: "I am ordered by your master to retract your confession for you." Of course, Lord Ye also supports it. ”
Chen Tong seemed to be in disbelief, raised his head, his eyes shining; The soldiers who were ordered to monitor Wei Chong took the opportunity to make eye contact with each other and nodded their heads.
The cell boss was also surprised, and leaned into Wei Chong's ear and said, "The confessions are all facts, and it is not easy to retract them......
Wei Chong shook his head dissatisfiedly: "You guys are busy working in prison all day, and you do this kind of thing a lot, isn't it between retracting your confession?" Ignoring the dissuasion, he ordered a clerk to prepare a pen and paper and make a confession.
"Chen Tong, according to the master's inference, you have never bribed Shangguan, have you?"
"No, no."
"Okay, write this down." Wei Chong immediately looked at the jailer holding the pen.
"Ah...... Oh. The jailer was also a little stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Fang walked on the paper like a flying pen.
"Another question, it says that you accepted the purchase fee given to you by Qi Consulting, which was used to hold a banquet in his house, and even you sometimes deducted some of this money and put it in your own pocket." Wei Chong read the 'old' confession and frowned, "I think this is also a bad trial. Since you didn't have the initiative to bribe Shangguan, how could Qi Shi trust you so much and hand over the money with confidence, without fear of being held by you? Secondly, even if Qi Shi frequently sets up banquets in the house, it is not necessarily dirty money. If it was given to him by any of his relatives, it was also possible. ”
"Therefore, the fact that you swallowed money, as well as the excessively high purchase fee, are all false accusations!"
"Write this passage as well," Wei Chong looked at the jailer and dusted off his clothes, "All right! Succeed with flying colors. ”
The cell boss was stunned by this interrogation that was all completed by speculation, and stepped forward nervously and made three gestures: "Master Wei, if you want to overturn the case, you have to find evidence, so how convincing is this confession!" ”
"Convincing?" Wei Chong snorted coldly, "This confession is not being spread out in a fair and bright way, and it is only known to the Nanjing Criminal Department, so there is no need to worry about everything." You can send someone to the criminal department to take care of it now, and you will be safe. ”
