Chapter 50 Confession of Truth
Zhang Tang picked up the hot water in the teacup and took a sip gently.
He was wondering how to deal with the case and not allow himself to be implicated.
can't repeat the mistakes of the master's father, Zhang Tang fell into deep thought.
This case is indeed very tricky, and Liu Jian does not admit what he has done.
There was no conclusive evidence, so he could only be interrogated from people close to him.
There is no need to scruple about this, Liu Jianruo doesn't want to be involved in Ci'an.
It's best to keep silent if you obstruct him from investigating the case.
Then the responsibility is even heavier, and he will truthfully report it to Liu Che.
"You don't have to worry, Your Majesty ordered me to deal with this case, and I will definitely give Your Majesty a satisfactory explanation."
If there is the assistance of the suspense bit, this case will not be difficult to investigate.
Xuanyiwei was directly accountable to the Emperor, unless authorized by the Emperor.
"Report to Zhang Tingwei, someone outside the museum asks to see you."
At this time, a servant reported to Zhang Tang that there was a middle-aged man in black outside the mansion.
"Invite him in."
Maybe the other party came to provide him with clues, Zhang Tang asked Fang Lu to retreat first.
After a while, a tall middle-aged man in black walked over.
He looked around and made sure there was no one in the room except Zhang Tang.
"Zhang Tingwei, I am here to assist you in investigating the case, this is what Your Majesty meant."
Not long ago, a middle-aged man received a message from Liu Che.
Wait for the people from the court to come and fully assist in the investigation of the case.
The middle-aged man in black is named Jing Hang, and he is the Xuanyi Guard Supervisor who is in charge of monitoring Jiangdu Kingdom.
"Zhang Tingwei don't have too many doubts, and obey Your Majesty's orders. He was authorized by His Majesty to assist Zhang Tingwei. ”
Zhang Tang also guessed that the other party was one of the people in charge of Xuanyiwei, and it didn't matter if he knew his identity or not.
"I proposed that Zhang Tingwei interrogate Shi Kan, and he also participated in this matter."
Jing Hang handed over the recently collected evidence to Zhang Tang for further investigation based on it.
Jing Hang placed the package in front of Zhang Tang, and the package contained the main content of the conversation between Shi Kan and Liu Jian.
If it is inconvenient to interrogate Liu Jian, Shi Kan is the most suitable target.
"Zhang Tingwei, you have to summon Shi Kan as soon as possible, he may leave Guangling tomorrow."
"I have already instructed that during this period, the relevant personnel are not allowed to leave Guangling."
If what Jing Hang said is right, then interrogate Shi Kan as soon as possible.
Then hand over the results of the investigation to Liu Che, and he will personally adjudicate it.
"Someone, summon Shi Kan."
If Shi Kan really left Guangling tomorrow, he might do something unfavorable to Liu Zhang.
The investigation of the case will drag on backwards, and some people will ignore his orders.
The guards outside the house heard Zhang Tang's shout, and he walked into the house.
"Go to the mansion of the field survey and bring him to see me."
Zhang Tang ordered the guards to summon Shi Kan over, and he took out the evidence in the package to check it.
The package contained a large scroll of silk books, as well as some gold, silver, jade, and other items.
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Tang thought that the other party was going to bribe him, and he was suddenly a little displeased.
"Zhang Tingwei, don't get me wrong, these are physical evidence, and they are part of the bribes they privately accepted."
Jing Hang really didn't mean to bribe Zhang Tang, that is, to hand over some physical evidence to him.
"Since it's physical evidence, then I really almost misunderstood you just now."
If other people would think the same way, Jing Hang didn't care at all.
He also worked for the emperor and knew that Zhang Tang was an honest official.
I saw that he was very unhappy just now, but this is not pretending.
"The case is over, hand over the physical evidence to the state treasury."
Even if Jing Hang doesn't say it, Zhang Tang knows how to do it.
"Zhang Tingwei, wait for you to interrogate Shi Kan. It was inconvenient to be present at the next, so I took my leave. ”
Jing Hang came this time to convey the emperor's will to Zhang Tang, and at the same time handed over some physical evidence to him.
The rest is up to him, Jing Hang will lead the suspense bit to assist him in the investigation.
Jing Hang left, and Zhang Tang waited for the guards to bring Shi Kan over.
He has the means to get the other party to confess, although he can't interrogate Liu Jian directly.
But interrogating the people around him doesn't have so many concerns.
After a long time, the stone survey was brought.
As soon as he got home, he was stopped by someone who said that Zhang Tang had summoned him.
Shi Kan felt a little bad, and he also knew Zhang Tang's methods.
Shi Kan was still a little afraid of Zhang Tang, and he would not admit to conspiring with Liu Jian recently.
Otherwise, it will affect his own family, and the court definitely doesn't want this matter to make a big fuss.
It was only to reprimand Liu Jian and tell him not to do anything wrong in the future.
Give Liu Zhang a little more benefit, and this matter will be over.
"Ben Tingwei summoned you to ask you about the assassination of the Red Marquis."
"Zhang Tingwei, do you suspect that Xiaguan did it. This is wronged, and Xiaguan has no grievances with him. ”
Shi Kan behaved very aggrieved, and he would definitely insist on not confessing.
Even if Zhang Tang interrogated him harshly, it would be a big deal to die.
He also knew that Zhang Tang was fair in judging the case and did not easily wronged people.
"Ben Tingwei has collected evidence and wronged you. You still invite it truthfully, and don't force Ben Tingwei to torture you. ”
It depends on how firm his willpower is, Zhang Tang has the means.
"Don't think that if you don't say it, Ben Tingwei can't do it. Sending people to assassinate the Han clan is a great crime. ”
"Zhang Tingwei, the lower official is really wronged. If you want to torture the lower officials, the lower officials can only bear it. ”
Shi Kan resolutely refused to admit it, and both left and right were dead.
It's not that he's not afraid of death, he just doesn't want to implicate his people in being killed.
Because he offended several princes and kings, the lord father offended those civil and military officials in the court.
In the end, he and his people were killed, which is a lesson from the past.
Zhang Tang opened the package, which contained evidence of Shi Kan's recent crimes.
"You really think that if you don't admit it, Ben Tingwei can't help you. How do you explain this incriminating evidence? ”
In front of ironclad evidence, he cannot deny it.
How to punish Liu Jian, that's Liu Che's business.
"Maybe someone framed the lower officials, and asked Zhang Tingwei to investigate."
"In the face of conclusive evidence, you still firmly refuse to admit it. What the hell do you think? Do you want to fight against the court? ”
Zhang Tang said with coldness, even if Xuan Yiwei did not provide these evidence.
Taking some time can also obtain evidence about Shi Kan's execution of the assassination of Liu Zhang, and Zhang Tang also knows the reason why he resolutely refuses to admit it.
"Captain Ben Tingwei will give you one last chance to truthfully confess the crime you have committed. Otherwise, you and your people will die!" ”
When Shi Kan heard him say this, he was a little embarrassed.
To say it or not, he and his people are going to die, he is just a pawn of those nobles.
Shi Kan was very panicked, and he had been behind Liu Jian's saddle all these years.
What he has done recently has alarmed the imperial court, but he didn't expect that it was Zhang Tang who was sent.
If the imperial court sent someone else to investigate, Shi Kan could easily deal with them. I
Bribing Zhang Tang didn't work, and what he said also represented Liu Che's meaning.
"You have to think about it and confess. Perhaps the punishment will be lighter, and your people will not be guilty of death for their crimes. ”
"Okay, I confess, I hope Zhang Tingwei can intercede for my people in front of the object."
Shi Kan had no choice but to confess his crime and never involve Liu Jian.
He first sent people to various counties to search for beauties, and offended Liu Zhang in the Honghou Kingdom.
So I hold a grudge and just want to teach him a lesson.
Failure after failure made him even more annoyed.
That's when he had murderous intentions against Liu Zhang, this was only for him personally.
What Zhang Tang found was that Liu Jian instructed Shi Kan to send someone to assassinate Liu Zhang, preparing to burn down the Honghou Mansion.
Obviously, Shi Kan wants to take all the blame on himself.
When the investigation is over, report the results to Liu Che.
Shi Kan said in 1510, and Liu Jian was not mentioned in the whole process.
"My men are looking for those beauties to please the king. If they are favored by the king, they will enjoy endless glory and wealth. ”
Let Zhang Tang know that his intentions are good.
What he said made Zhang Tang unable to believe it all, and used various means to capture the beauties of various counties.
It was said so nicely, Zhang Tang looked at him expressionlessly.
Although Liu Jian was not mentioned, this matter has nothing to do with him.
The crime of collecting beauties from various counties is insignificant to Liu Jian.
But the assassination of the Han clan relatives is a serious problem.
After a long time, Shi Kan also finished his confession, and waited for Zhang Tang to be sentenced for his crimes.
He did not mention that he was preparing to frame Liu Zhang for colluding with the Xiongnu, and Zhang Tang definitely did not know.
"If you hide something, I'll find out."
Zhang Tang looked at him and felt that he had not explained things clearly.
He is good at observing words and feelings, and Shi Kan's eyes flickered a little.
That proved his guess even more, Shi Kan concealed a very important thing.
Zhang Tang's face suddenly turned cold, and what he was hiding might be even more serious.
