Great Ye Empress

Chapter 258 Confession
Xue Zhi is very smart. He did not point out the alliance between the first prince and the third prince in the letter. He only said that he did not understand why the first prince asked him to leave a confession and commit suicide. ...

Instead, they also took over the crimes of the three princes and one party.

He thought that with the two parties fighting to the death, the eldest prince should let him kill the party of the three princes.

He also wrote that Qian Jianming and Shen Yanxing, the two main officials in charge of the disaster relief, were both greedy in this disaster relief, and the two were still in a greed competition to compare who could be more greedy in this disaster relief. A list of people who knew about it was also written down.

Xie Yunchu put aside the confession letter left by Xue Zhi, and turned to the back to see that there were those who accepted bribes and greedy ink, and some who offered bribes.

Who gave Xue Zhi how much money, what antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and to whom he gave those things, everything was clear in the ledger.

"I don't know the words... I'm surprised to be able to say such words as upright and shameful." Xie Yunchu said without raising his head, flipping through the ledger, "It was Xue Zhi who told you before he died that if the Xue family died, Let you come to me with the account book?"

The man's body trembled, he didn't expect to reveal his stuffing, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said, "What... I can't hide anything from the adults! It was Master Xue who told the villain that Master Xie was upright, and if something happened to the Xue family, let him The villain came to Master Xie, gave this book to Master Xie, and said that Master Xie would naturally decide for the Xue family!"

Xue Zhi died not long after the report was sent back in Taiyuan, so Xue Zhi knew her ability and also saw her courage to expose the disaster relief and corruption case in the Golden Palace, which made the man in front of him hand over the ledger to her.

If something really happened to the Xue family, Xue Zhi wanted to use her hand to avenge the Xue family.

She looked at the man who was kneeling in the hall honestly: "Did you know... that if you send this thing to this official, maybe it will cause you to be killed?"

The man was frightened by Xie Yunchu's words, his face was even uglier than before, and he said with difficulty: "Master Xue is very kind to the villain.

"Then, do you know that Mr. Xue, who is so kind to you, is a corrupt official? It caused the people in the disaster-stricken areas to eat flesh and blood... Mr. Xue has contributed a lot?" Xie Yunchu put the account book on the table next to him. said slowly.

Hearing this, the man seemed to suddenly have the courage, looked up and looked at Xie Yunchu: "Impossible! Master Xue is a good person!"

Under the flickering candle, the man was afraid of Xie Yunchu's clear eyes, lowered his head again, choked up and explained to Xie Yunchu...

"Master Xue is really a good person, Master Xie doesn't know... Master Xue once went to the court and asked the court to allocate funds to build a shantang for the lonely old man, but the court has never approved it. It was Master Xue who built the shantang by himself. With Lord Xue building a shantang, my mother... long ago... long ago..."

The man raised his head with red eyes: "Master Xie, how can a person as kind-hearted as Master Xue be a corrupt official? Master Xie, don't listen to the nonsense of those who framed Master Xue! Master... The villain believes that Master Xie is an honest official! I believe that Master Xie will definitely return the innocence to Master Xue!"

Xie Yunchu looked at the man who was obviously not timid, but argued for Xue Zhi, and said slowly: "During this time, you have to be wronged to live in Xie's house, lest someone hurt your life, naturally... You are also a very important person. Certificate, I have to protect you comprehensively, are you willing?"

"The villain is willing! The villain is willing! As long as the innocence of Lord Xue can be proved, the villain is willing to do anything!" The man hurriedly spoke.

"You don't have to do anything, just tell the truth in court later." Xie Yunchu finished speaking and turned to ask Yuanbao, "Go and see if Yunwang is sleeping? If not...let Yunwang get up and record a confession."

"Little people listen to adults!" the man said.

"Then... do you want to send a letter to your home? I can send someone there." Xie Yunchu said.

The man shook his head: "I won't bother the adults, I'm worried...it will bring trouble to the family."

After Xie Yunwang left with the man, Xie Yunchu asked Yuanbao to take the abacus and began to count Xue Zhi's ledger.

Fortunately, Xue Zhi's ledger recorded the number of each time, but it was not difficult.

But this number, the more you count, the more shocking...

"Yechen..." Xie Yunchu called Yechen.

"My subordinate is here." Ye Chen responded.

"I'm afraid you'll have to go to the disaster-stricken area to find Li Shaoqing."

Yechen was a little surprised: "Didn't Liu Lang send someone to the disaster area to protect Li Shaoqing?"

After Xie Yunchu came out of the First Prince's Mansion that day, he learned that the First Prince had sent someone to the Third Prince's Mansion to confirm that the First Prince and the Third Prince would join forces...

So I thought about it on the way back to Xie Mansion, and asked Yechen to send someone to look for Li Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to protect Li Shaoqing, and to tell local officials about Shen Yanxing's corrupt confession.

Why let him go now?
Xie Yunchu looked at the number that he had not yet counted, and said, "Go there in person, take back the confession in Li Shaoqing's hand, and let Li Shaoqing pretend that the confession was lost...or was damaged, and re-record the confession for the officials involved!"

Xie Yunchu very much hoped that these people would be able to revise their confessions after they entered the capital. The first prince and the third prince worked together. With such a unified confession, anyone could see what was going on.

These two princes will... once again step on the emperor's bottom line precisely.

If the emperor knew, now that his eldest son and the third son joined forces, he would definitely be afraid.

Xie Yunchu thought that the eldest prince and the third prince did not dare to take the risk and sent people to kill the arrested local officials, at most to destroy the evidence.

If the eldest prince and the third prince have not come into contact with the officials involved because of the people she sent and the people from the Imperial City Division, then it is just right... to record another confession!
The second time to record the confession is the same as the first one. After returning to Bianjing, the confession will be rewritten in a unified way... Even if the emperor wants to settle the case, it depends on whether the people, victims and students will answer!
If the eldest prince and the third prince have spoken to the officials involved, knowing that the first confession was destroyed or lost, the second confession is not the same as the first…

Then after returning to Beijing, Xie Yunchu will also first ask them about the inconsistency between the first confession and the second confession... and ask them why they suddenly reversed the confession.

As long as there is an official who thinks that the first confession has been stolen and destroyed by the superior, for the sake of convenience... not admitting to refute the confession.

The first confession in Xie Yunchu's hands can be the best and most favorable evidence.
