After bringing the people back, Jin Yiwei began to interrogate them separately. But there were too many people arrested, and they couldn't be tried for a while, so the sixth asked them to write an explanation first.

Everyone must explain every contact with Hu Weiyong, every word they have ever said, and everything they have done for him.

As for the heads of the various departments and the core of the Yiganhu Party, they were personally interrogated by his brothers.

The two sat side by side behind the big case, looking at Xu Duo, the head of the household who was brought in, with an expressionless face.

Xu Duo was even worse than Xue Xiang, and was even shackled. When he was in Yingtianfu back then, he flailed people at every turn, and now he knows that this thing is simply deadly.

However, after only wearing a twenty-pound wooden flail for half a day, he felt that his shoulders were about to break and his neck was about to break.

"Xu Butang didn't wear a flail for others back then, right?" The sixth smiled and looked at him: "This tastes very uncomfortable, right?" ”

"Yes." Xu Duo nodded and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know if I don't experience it, it turns out that a casual punishment will bring so much pain to people." ”

"It's good to know." Only then did the sixth wave his hand and motioned to the Jinyi guard to open the shackles for him.

"Your Highness." As soon as Xu Duo's shackles were gone, as if he had been reborn, he carefully moved his bruised shoulders and neck, and asked puzzledly: "Xia Guan saw that only six or seven people were wearing flails, and I was the only one among the six Shangshu. I don't know why? ”

"Of course, it is the core of the Hu Party that has this kind of treatment." The sixth smiled and said, "If Chen Ning is still alive, he will have to wear an eighty-pound flail at least." ”

"Xiaguan is not the core of the Hu Party." Xu Duo's face turned pale, and he hurriedly denied it: "I'm not even a Hu party!" ”

"Fart, why don't we put a yoke on someone else? Surely the evidence has been mastered! The fourth said coldly: "You confess honestly and avoid the pain of flesh and skin." ”

"Xia Guan is really not a Hu party." Xu Duo said with a bitter face: "Yes, Hu Weiyong is my superior." The household affairs are extremely complicated, so I get a report from the Chinese book every three or five days. But it's really just an official relationship, and it doesn't involve any private matters. ”

"You're really dishonest!" As soon as the fourth child patted the case, he picked up a file and read it:

"In the twelfth year of Hongwu, on the third day of the sixth month, it was Mrs. Hu Weiyong's birthday, and you gave a pearl, a pair of Mi Fu's calligraphy."

"On September 18 of the same year, Hu Xiang's birthday, Ling gave another pair of white bi, a thousand-year-old ginseng ......"

"......" The fourth child read Xu Duo's bribery records since last year one by one: "This is only a year, and it is worth more than 2,000 yuan if it is given to Hu Xiang alone!" ”

"How much money do you have a year?! Where did all this money come from?! Saying that, he slapped the case heavily, and shouted: "It's enough to peel you and weed you a hundred times!" ”

"......" Xu Duo was still a little frightened when he first heard it, but then gradually calmed down, and said with a broken jar:

"His Royal Highness King Yan, I have also been doing it for a few years. It should be known that regulations are regulations and reality is reality. The reality is that when you reach the position of a lower official, you don't need to ask for a bribe, the money will automatically come to you, and you can't do it if you don't accept it. ”

"Besides, although Hu Xiang is honest on the surface, he doesn't need to be a clean official, if you don't give him a heavy gift, he won't use you with confidence. Xia Guan moved from Yingtianfu Yin to Dasi Nong, and only sent Hu Xiang 2,000 guan, which was very shabby in all dynasties, right? ”

"Don't keep talking about the past, it's the Ming Dynasty now!" The fourth said unhappily.

"The Ming Dynasty also has emperors, prime ministers, civil and military officials, all the same." Xu Duo couldn't help but sneer: "Even if it looks a little different now, I will return to the old road after a long time." ”

"Don't ramble!" The sixth coughed and signaled to the fourth brother to talk less if he didn't interrogate.

The fourth pouted and let him come.

"Explain the problem between you and Hu Weiyong!" The sixth said in a deep voice.

"The lower officials have already said that honoring the upper officials is a bad habit of officialdom, and it does not mean that I am the Hu Party." Xu Duo said calmly.

"I'm not saying that you offered bribes, but I asked you to explain what happened in October last year!" The sixth said coldly.

"...... in October last year" Xu Duo's pupils shrank, and he forced himself to calm down: "Xiaguan doesn't remember what happened." ”

"Then the king reminds you," the sixth said in a deep voice: "On October 16 last year, you planned to ask Gao Chao Gaofu Cheng to go fishing that day, but you made a nest a day in advance, why didn't you go?" ”

"This ......" Xu Duo's forehead was damp and his face was pale, only to know that his every move had already been targeted by Jinyiwei, so he said with difficulty: "There is a temporary business trip." ”

"You see, I remember it so clearly, and I said I didn't remember." The sixth looked at the table and said, "Xu Butang, you have to make it clear, you can only have a glimmer of life if you explain honestly now." ”

"......" Xu Duo's breathing began to shorten.

"Even if you are tired of living, you should think about your family, are you willing to send such a beautiful daughter to the teaching department to taste a little red lips?" The sixth said in an accentuated tone:

"This king has already made what he said very clearly, with Xu Butang's intelligence, he won't be incomprehensible!"

"Yes, I understand." Xu Duo nodded dejectedly, and sighed: "That day, the Treasure Boat Lifting Division sent someone to say that they had caught a fugitive and asked the government to send someone back to the capital." I didn't take it seriously, but Hu Weiyong's nephew Hu De suddenly visited and brought a bottle of Takeji Scatter, asking me to help poison the captured prisoners. ”

"You won't report it if you want to kill someone," the fourth child couldn't help but scold: "And say that you are not Hu Dang?!" ”

"The lower officials are trying to find a way not to offend Hu Weiyong and not to violate the king's law......" Xu Duo hurriedly argued:

"Later, Gao Fucheng came up with the idea that he could lie to Hu Xiang that he had poisoned the fugitive, and then secretly send the person back to the prison of the Criminal Department, so that the big thing could be turned into a small matter, so he was confused for a while and did not report it."

"You are not confused at all, there is no emperor in your eyes, only Hu Xiang!" Zhu Zhen snorted coldly and said, "I'm still quibbling until now, and I don't want to think about how we can know so clearly?!" ”

"It's Gao Fu Cheng......" Xu Duo's face turned pale, but he had told him too much, and it was not enough for outsiders to say it.

"It doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is that we all know what you say." Lao Liu said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for Gao Chao to stop you, you would have done it that day, and with this article, you will be designated as a Hu party, and no one can say that you have been wronged." ”

"No, the lower officials really deserve to die......" Xu Duo shook his head dejectedly, and hurriedly begged and asked, "I don't know where the glimmer of life is what the two highnesses said?" ”

"Confess that he is a Hu party, and then confess a few comrades who conspired against him together." The sixth child said quietly: "The more you offer, the safer you are." If you involve all the seven secretaries, it is not impossible for you to be reinstated. ”

"Huh?" Xu Duo was dumbfounded and said, "Do you want the lower officials to frame them?" ”

"Don't say it so ugly, you're saving them." Lao Liu Zhengse said: "You think about it, this king doesn't have much time, give me a satisfactory answer in an hour." ”
