Chapter 48: Witnesses, Evidence
"How much money did you use to bribe them?" Li Su had already seen Lin Jingdan's plan.
But the family and the individual have always been both prosperous and lossy, and it is not so easy to make it clear if you want to take it seriously.
"Cheng Shi and Zhang San are five thousand taels each, and He Renke seems to be three thousand taels."
Lin Jingdan knew that with Li Su's methods, he must have investigated all these things clearly, not to mention that now that the matter has come to an end, there is nothing to say.
"Hey, five thousand taels, I've never seen so much silver in my life."
After listening to the amount of Lin Jingdan's bribe, the people began to talk about it.
"But no, two five thousand taels, one three thousand taels, this is thirteen thousand taels, this dog official! What a greed! Voices of indignation were heard from the crowd.
"Who said no, he bribed others with more than 10,000 taels, which shows that he must have embezzled more, I heard that this money was used by the imperial court to build the Yellow River dam for us, but I didn't expect them to be corrupt by these dog officials."
"Dog officer!"
"Dog officer!"
"Dog officer!"
The people looked at Lin Jingdan kneeling in the hall with resentful eyes, and clamored for him to be sentenced to death.
The people were excited, shouting, ignoring the interception of the officials and about to squeeze in.
"Silence!" Li Su slapped the startled wood hard, and raised his eyes faintly to look at the group of people surrounding the door.
I have to say that Li Su's eyes are really scary, and the people are unconsciously silent after they come into contact with his sight.
Li Su saw that they were quiet, and then he withdrew his gaze.
Seeing him retract his gaze, the people dared to speak in a whisper.
"This big official, the momentum is really infiltrating, he just looked at me, I didn't even dare to move."
"Who said it wasn't, I heard that it was a big official from the capital."
……
"Chengshi?" Li Su snorted coldly, and looked at Lin Jingdan who was kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes, "Are you sure it's Chengshi." ”
Lin Jingdan had already been deceived by Li Su once, so naturally he wouldn't be fooled, "Sure." ”
With the methods of that group of people, it was impossible for them to keep Chengshi alive, although he didn't know what kind of force they were, but looking at their hidden posture, he also knew that they were dishonorable existences.
Since they don't want to expose themselves, they will definitely dispose of this guy Chengshi.
Yes, Lin Jingdan knew that there were people behind Cui Shanyuan, and they were fierce, cold-blooded and ruthless, but he really didn't know who they were.
When he took over the Yellow River construction project, he really wanted to be greedy for some money, and when he was out of tolerance, he was greedy for some money.
At that time, he just wanted to quote a little higher for each material, just greedy for the difference.
But after he took over the project, the group of people came to him, they kept lobbying him, and promised to help him clear all the troubles, he did not resist the temptation of money, and became their pawn step by step.
Does Lin Jingdan know the importance of the Yellow River?
Of course not, but he subconsciously ignored it.
At the beginning, everything was indeed within their expectations, but no one expected that someone would sue Emperor Jianzhang directly.
Before they had time to sweep many places, Emperor Jianzhang took people to Yinchuan.
"The official sent people to see all the dikes in these five places.
The embankments in Lanzhou are all made of green stone, tung oil and glutinous rice, and the embankments in Jingyuan County are made of good materials on the outside, and the rotten wood and yellow mud are used inside, which is a kind of goods.
As for Zhongwei County, Wuzhong County and Yinchuan, they don't even have face, why is this? ”
"Lanzhou County ordered Zhang Wei's people to be as hard as the stinky stones in the pit.
Not only did he give me back the silver ticket I gave out, but he was so old, and he went to the dam all day to keep an eye on the construction.
Under his nose, there is no chance of fraud at all. ”
"As for Dong Qiliang, the county commander of Jingyuan County." Lin Jingdan snorted coldly, "That's a cunning fox, he noticed something was wrong after receiving the silver ticket I gave him, not only gave me back the silver ticket, but also sent his master Zhou Zeng to spy on me on the bus every once in a while." ”
"So in order to prevent him from discovering anything, you ordered someone to fence off the dam, first, to prevent him from spying on you, but for fear that others would find out that the migrant workers on the dam were working at night, right?" Li Su said.
"How do you know?" Lin Jingdan didn't expect him to even know this.
That day, Zhou said that when he went to the dam during the day, the people on the dam looked very sleepy, and he began to doubt.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for everyone to be sleepy, unless they all do the same thing, plus there was a problem with the embankment, but Zhou Zeng did not find a problem every time he went.
It could only be that they were in a hurry when he didn't go.
Lin Jingdan was only surprised, "As for Zhongwei Gong Cao Chengshi and Wuzhong County Commander He Renke, they all accepted the silver tickets I gave them, so they were naturally obedient." ”
In the back hall behind the screen, Su Yumao looked at His Majesty's increasingly ugly face, and scolded in his heart, Lin Jingdan is a mortal.
It's been so far, and after doing so many wrong things, you still dare to be so arrogant.
Si Yunlan couldn't see Li Su's expression when he was standing, he could only see his back, but he knew, he and he both knew that what Lin Jingdan said was true and false.
Sometimes it's more believable when a lie is mixed with a truth.
If they hadn't met Chengshi, they might have really been fooled by his words.
"Witness, Cheng Shi."
Li Su's eyes looked at Lin Jingdan without blinking for a moment, and said in a deep voice.
Although Lin Jingdan tried his best to hide his expression, Li Su could still see that when he heard the name Chengshi, his face was stunned for a moment.
Is he really alive?
Hearing footsteps behind him, Lin Jingdan turned his head to see it.
Although the face of the person who came was pale, the spirit was okay, and this face was indeed a stone.
"Chengshi sees my lord."
Li Su: "Get up." ”
"Master Xie."
What Lin Jingdan didn't know was that after he saw Chengshi, his face instantly became very pale, even paler than Chengshi's face.
How could he not be dead?!
Lin Jingdan secretly scolded Cui Shanyuan in his heart, since he has found a scapegoat, the means should be very little, now it's okay, Chengshi is not dead, everything is over.
Li Su: "Chengshi, tell you again." ”
"Yes, the villain's name is Chengshi, it is Gongcao of Zhongwei County, and before the end of the month, Lin Jingdan went to Zhongwei ......"
Chengshi went through all the ins and outs and re-handed in the evidence booklet.
Si Yunlan was responsible for reading out all the contents of the booklet and reading it to everyone.
The officials of the yamen clenched their fists when they heard this, not to mention the people gathered at the door.
They never thought that there would be such a bad official!
How can such a person be worthy of being an official!
And Lin Jingdan also lowered his head after listening to Si Yunlan's speech, it's over, everything is over.
