Wei Xiang guessed well, the most difficult bone to gnaw on is naturally the rebellion case.

The defeat of Pham Minh Woo and Tian Quang Minh's troops was too quick and sudden, and many people who knew about it had already died in the chaos, and many of the seals were damaged.

In addition, Huo Yu and others deliberately covered it up, not only killed Fan Mingyou and Ding Ping, but also killed all the generals and staff, and the human and physical evidence that could point the rebellion at Huo Yu was even less.

There were a total of twelve lieutenants under Fan Minh You, five of whom died in the chaos and four were beheaded by Huo Yu in front of the battle.

The remaining three people, one is Huo Yu himself, one is Huo Yun, and the other is Huo Shan - the latter two did not find the body, let alone be caught, and must still be fleeing.

The main generals, the envoys of the army, the partial generals, the staff and the captains are all dead, and then there are very few things that the military marquis knows, and after looking around, there is no one who can testify against Huo Yu.

As for the two rebels of Tian Guangming and Tian Shun, there are quite a few remaining generals and captains, but they are not familiar with Huo Yu, so they can't say why.

Huo Yu was really vicious, and used the method of a strong man to break his wrist to change himself into an "innocent body".

In this first day, Huang Ba and Wei Xiang both made a lot of progress.

The former directly copied the Huo family, arrested Chun Yuyan and Huo Xian, imprisoned Huo Guang, sealed the account books and documents, and waited for Chun Yuyan and Huo Xian to be interrogated.

The latter even directly said that the entire corruption case has been properly tried, and as long as the rest of the people are convicted, they can draw a gourd in the same way and convict them one by one.

Bingji's progress is much smaller.

Because of the lack of witnesses and evidence, Bingji did not immediately rush to interrogate Huo Yu.

He just checked the list of people above the rank of the three rebels, trying to find some breakthroughs in them.

After interrogating more than a dozen princes in a row, Bingji only got the three words "Zuojun League", which had a great relationship with Huo Yu and others.

As for what the purpose of the Zuojun League is, and who the members are, Bingji doesn't know anything.

On the second day, Bingji got the black account sent by Wei Xiang, and Shun Teng found a few people from the Zuojun League.

However, all the people in the Zuojun League only contacted Huo Yun and Huo Shan, and they couldn't fall on Huo Yu's head when they checked and checked.

And these people don't know what Zuo Junmeng is going to do.

As for the third day, Bingji interrogated Huo Yu's private soldiers, who had returned from detention, but still found nothing.

Either they don't know anything about the bad things Huo Yu did, or they are just outlaws who take money to do things, and they don't know the inside story.

Bingji also learned that Huo Yu and Huo Yun brothers had raised a lot of dead soldiers in Beicheng Guofeng, and there were hundreds of them, and they had not yet been brought to justice.

In this way, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Other criminals involved in the corruption case have arrived one after another, and most of the Huo family's family members have been investigated, but Bingji still has not made much progress.

In the past few days, in addition to interrogating waves of criminals, Bingji has only done two things.

The first is to ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict and let the governors of all counties and states search for Huo Yun and Huo Shan brothers; The second is to ask the Son of Heaven to send embroidered clothes guards to secretly investigate everywhere in the north city to find the dead soldiers raised by Huo Yu.

But these two things are not in a hurry, so we have to wait.

The Son of Heaven said that the rebellion case involves the most people, but it doesn't matter whether Huo Yu's sentence can be determined on this basis: after all, there are two other cases to cover the matter, and the Huo family can be wiped out without a rebellion case.

But he failed to fulfill the king's entrustment, which made Bingji still feel that he had failed the emperor's grace.

On the fourth day, Bingji came to the main hall of Tingwei Prison early, and without any delay, he brought Chen Xiu, the edict, and sat together to carefully sort out the testimony and confessions obtained in the past few days.

The number of words is quite a lot, but there are not many who can convict Huo Yu of the crime of treason.

After watching it for half an hour, Bingji couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said bitterly: "Gong Chen, the confession is limited, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you must interrogate Huo Yu today." ”

"But if he asks him now, he will definitely not admit his guilt."

"No matter what, we have to try this Huo Yu first, and the official is very curious about one thing now." Bingji said slowly.

"What is Binggong curious about?"

"Huo Yun and Huo Shan have fled, why didn't this Huo Yu escape?"

"No, the lower official understands, and the lower official will arrange it now."

"There's Lao Chengong."

Before the time came, Bingji met Huo Yu in the torture room of the Imperial Prison.

The torture room was not big, and Huo Yu was not locked in the standing wood in the middle, but locked in the compartment of the torture room.

Huo Yu took the heads of Fan Mingyou and others to the camp of Zhao Chongguo to surrender under the Yinpan City of Anding County.

Because of the importance of the stakes and the twists and turns of the process, Zhao Chongguo didn't know how to deal with Huo Yu, but he still treated him well, and sent people to keep an eye on him and not let him act at will.

Then, Zhao Chongguo personally escorted Huo Yu to Qi County, and then came all the way to Chang'an City.

Therefore, since the defeat of the army, Huo Yu has not suffered too much, even if he has been locked up in the edict prison for a few days, he has lived alone in a "superior" cell.

So Huo Yu didn't have anything unusual except for his pale and haggard face: the whole person stood straight across the fence, just wearing a coarse linen clothes, but it was still difficult to hide the temperament of a military general.

A few years ago, Bingji served as the chief of the General's Mansion, and he could often meet Huo Yu at that time.

Although at that time, Huo Yu was already very rebellious, and he had no respect for the subordinate officials of the General's Mansion, but Bingji never thought that the other party would rebel at that time.

"General Yu, long time no see." Bingji said.

"Binggong, I haven't seen you for a few months, I didn't expect you to be promoted again, it is really enviable to be loved by the county officials in this eventful autumn."

Huo Yu's words were full of shame, it seems that he still sees Bingji as ungrateful.

"The king's order cannot be violated, no matter what position he holds, he is just for the Han world." Bingji said unmoved.

"Then what is the position of Binggong now?" Huo Yu asked.

"Guangluxun, Consul General."

"Hmph, Consul General Shang Shushi is a leading figure in China and North Korea, no wonder Binggong is so high-spirited!"

Bingji didn't care about Huo Yu's naked teasing, and he didn't come to fight with Huo Yu today.

"The county official sent his own official to inquire about Fan Mingyou's rebellion, and then asked General Yu to answer a few questions from his own official." Bingji said calmly.

"Since it is the county official who has an edict, then the Duke of Bing only asks, and he must know everything and say everything." Huo Yu said indifferently.

At this moment, in this torture room, apart from the two of them, only Chen Xiu temporarily acted as a bookkeeper to record the confession, so it seemed a little lonely.

"Please General Yu tell me in detail about the process of rebellion that you know." Bingji asked.

Huo Yu did not resist or hesitate, and only thought for a moment before speaking.

The whole process of the rebellion he said was not much different from the real situation, but Huo Yu completely regarded himself as an ordinary lieutenant to narrate the matter.

The people who fought in the tent that day were either dead or fled, Huo Yu said that he was not there, and no one could poke him.

Half an hour later, Huo Yu roughly explained the whole process, and Bingji did not find a loophole.

"General Huo, Fan Thief is your brother-in-law, when he conspired with Tian Guangming, he didn't reveal anything about it?"

"Fan Thief is thoughtful, and after he set out on the expedition, he didn't say much to Ben General, so when he wanted to rebel, Ben General didn't know more than the rest of the captains." Huo Yu said with a normal expression.

"Then when did you find out that he had bad intentions?"

"As early as under Lingwu City, Ben was suspicious."

"Then why did you do it anyway when you got to the Yin Pan?"

"The general is weak, so he can only keep his head in the dark and wait for the time to move, but fortunately, he did not disgrace his mission and killed Fan Thief and his henchmen, so that he was able to wash away his grievances."

"Then why don't you capture them alive?"

"Fan Thief's prestige in the army is quite high, and the general is not fully sure that he will be captured, and he is afraid of causing extraneous branches, so he can only seize the opportunity and suddenly attack and kill him, so as to disintegrate the rebels."

"Then why do you want to kill all the captains and generals together, leaving no one behind?"

"I'm afraid that Gong Bing has never been on the battlefield, the two armies are facing each other, in the chaos of the army, you are dead and alive, how can you show mercy to your subordinates, and not all those rebel generals died at my hands."

After listening to these answers, Bingji looked at Chen Xiu a little helplessly and made eye contact.

Huo Yu is really meticulous, and the biggest reliance is to kill all the insiders, so he is naturally not in a hurry.

Then, this Bingji asked Huo Yu a lot of details, but Huo Yu answered fluently, and still did not leak any flaws.

It seems that he is really a loyal and brave man who was deceived by Fan Minh Huu.

Huo Yu does not have a city as deep as Huo Guang, but he is not a useless straw bale.

Another half an hour had passed, and Chen Xiu's book had already been more than ten pages, with very little useful content.

At this time, Bingji and Chen Xiu withdrew from the torture room and rested for a while.

"I didn't expect this Huo Yu to be so difficult." Bingji sighed.

"Fujun, do you want to use the big punishment directly, the lower officials and county officials have learned the art of torture, you can give it a try, Huo Yu may not be able to withstand it." Chen Xiu said tentatively.

"Gong Chen underestimated Huo Yu, although this person is arrogant and domineering, he also fought on the battlefield, and he did the evil deeds of clan annihilation, and he will not easily succumb to the ...... of punishment."

"And now that Huo Yu has killed the nominal rebel in front of the battle, and directly executing him, I am afraid it will also damage the benevolence of the county officials."

It will not only affect the benevolent name of the Son of Heaven, but also the benevolent name of Bingji - unless it is absolutely necessary, Bingji is unwilling to bear the infamy of a cool official.

"The prince of the palace has seen it thoroughly, but the lower officials have thought about this matter too simply." Chen Xiu replied respectfully, but he didn't approve of it in his heart, after all, he was a believer in the Legalist family.

"Huo Yu is broken, and the county officials also know that he is not a bone to gnaw on, so I don't have to worry too much......"

"The corruption case investigated by Cheng Wei Gong in the imperial history has an eyebrow, and Huang Gong, the court commander, will interrogate Chun Yuyan and Huo Xian tomorrow, even if the Huo family escapes the rebellion case, they can't avoid the other two cases."

Chen Xiu's rank is not high now, so naturally he doesn't know that the Son of Heaven has laid a net of heaven and earth.

Now that he heard the explanation, he understood the deep meaning of this, but he still felt that Bingji was too careful and kind.

"So, this treason case has become the icing on the cake?" Chen Xiu asked.

"Exactly, so the official now wants to know what other intentions Huo Yu has after returning to Chang'an."

Bingji is thoughtful, and he also knows a little about Huo Yu, knowing that this person is cold and selfish by nature, and he will never risk his life for Huo Xian and Huo Guang and throw himself into the net.

He risked back to Chang'an, not to mention for his life, so he must have other purposes.

"Is the prince saying that this Huo Yu has another conspiracy?"

"At least he is not a person who sits idly by, even if Huo Guang admits defeat, this Huo Yu will not admit defeat easily."

In the past few days, it has been snowing in Chang'an City, and it is getting heavier and heavier.

Bingji and Chen Xiu only stood in the courtyard for a moment, and their bodies were covered with snow, and their hands and feet became cold.

"I'm going to Weiyang Palace tonight to tell the Son of Heaven about the case, and I have to ask some eyebrows."

"Yui!"
