Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 143 The taste of conspiracy is everywhere

Snapped!
"Presumptuous! The criminal officer Xu Fengyan, today is the judge who is interrogating you. What are you asking and what are you answering? Don't play around with your tongue. Do you really think that the judge's water and fire stick can't beat you? Hmph!" Xu Fengyan looked coldly at the hall and scolded in a cold voice.

Xu Fengyan smiled sarcastically when he heard the words, but he didn't say any more.

He naturally understood the method of interrogating prisoners in the yamen. If he was someone else, he would have to suffer a round of killing sticks before going to court. The strength of the court has always been that the court officials asked and answered, and finally signed and pledged, and a lawsuit was settled.

He is now in good condition only because his father is still sitting in the position of the second assistant, but if he really offends the presiding judge and gives him an excuse to kill him, no one can find anything wrong Come.

"Lord Li, calm down, calm down." Pang Wei, who was sitting on the left side, laughed, persuaded Li Qian'an, then turned to Xu Fengyan and said, "Xu Fengyan, if you justify your innocence, how can you question the chief judge? You should recognize your identity at this time!"

Hearing this, Li Qian'an glanced at Pang Wei calmly. It seemed that the deputy judge still had his heart towards the Xu family.

On the other hand, the Gulin warehouse on the right is dressed up as a clay sculpture, without asking or speaking.

"Xu Fengyan, I'm going to ask you again, since you said that you have nothing to do with the rebels, how do you explain the letter you wrote yourself that was found from the officials of the Prince of Chu's Palace?" Li Qian'an continued to ask.

Xu Fengyan opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but didn't know how to speak.

The king of Chu rebelled, but he himself had correspondence with the prince's officials. Even if there were a hundred mouths about this kind of thing, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Seeing that Xu Fengyan didn't speak, Li Qian'an continued to chase after the victory, and asked: "Also, one of the silver that Fei Lian sent to Jiayu's Xu family's old house every year, one of the accounts clearly stated that it came from the Chu Palace. On this point, you How to explain it?"

Xu Fengyan looked slumped and remained silent.

"Now that things are up to now, do you still dare to argue that you have no collusion with the rebels?" Li Qian'an snorted coldly.

"I want to ask you again, is the rumor going around in the capital a few days ago related to you? Also, the Wanping county government once captured a group of monsters from the Sanyang sect. According to the Wanping county magistrate, someone Take the door card of the Xu Mansion and go to the Wanping County Yamen Prison to take him away, do you admit it or not?"

"My lord, the culprit didn't know at the time that those people are monsters from the Sanyang Sect, I hope your lord will find out!"

"Hmph, is it your Xu family who opened the county government prison you are serving as the imperial court? You can take people away with just a name card of yours. Xu Fengyan, you are so brave! What is the reason for the rumors in Beijing? Come from the truth!"

Xu Fengyan smiled wryly, and said: "My lord, all of this is Zhuang Wenyun's idea. The mention of people by the Wanping county government is the door sticker he asked the criminal officer. The criminal officer was confused at the time and never asked who those people were. As for the person behind the rumors in the capital, it was a man named Li Maocai, who was a fellow villager of Zhuang Wenyun, but he and Zhuang Wenyun failed in the examination together, and later became a member of the Chu Palace. When Zhuang Wenyun introduced him to the prisoner, he did not mention that he was a member of Chu Wangfu, but only said that he was an old friend from his hometown. The criminal officer only knew about it a few days before the Huguang rebellion. As for the real identity of the person, everything the criminal officer said is true, and I hope the adults will investigate it carefully."

Snapped!
The gavel fell, but Li Qian'an shouted from the high hall: "Xu Fengyan, you still dare to quibble and put all the blame on a dead person, do you think you can get away with it? "

"What? Zhuang Wenyun is dead?" Xu Fengyan said in shock.

Jia Ying on the side was also shocked, and looked at Li Qian'an in the hall.

But I heard Li Qian'an looked at Xu Fengyan and said coldly: "Yesterday when the embroidered clothes guard arrived at Zhuang's mansion, Zhuang Wenyun had hanged himself and died, and Kang Xiaolian was just like him. Hmph, kill people and silence them, and pick yourself up clean." Jing, it’s a good method!”

"My lord, the criminal officer was imprisoned yesterday during the court meeting. This matter should have nothing to do with the criminal officer. How can we kill someone to silence him!" Xu Fengyan argued.

"Hmph, of course you can't do it, but someone can do it!" Li Qian'an had something in his words.

"Where is Li Maocai now?"

"The criminal officer met him a few times, all in the Shengfang Garden of Tongren Lane in Baizhifang, but there is a place of smoke and willows, with many people, the criminal officer feels that it should not be his place to stay. In addition, the criminal officer also sent someone to follow him. This person has been to a Zhuangzi outside the city many times, but he disappeared when he arrived in the Zhuangzi." Xu Fengyan also sensed something was wrong at this moment, All the information has been spoken.

Li Qian'an looked at the two deputy judges on both sides, and asked: "I think we should send people to these two places immediately to search for the traitor Li Maocai. How about the two of you?"

Both of them nodded in agreement, and Li Qian'an issued a signing order on the spot, sending the arresting officers from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to arrest him.

But Pang Wei said: "Lord Li, I think the interrogation will end here today. It will be more convenient to interrogate after Li Maocai arrives."

Hearing this, Li Qian'an looked at the Gulin warehouse on the side again.

Gu Lincang laughed and said: "I have no objection from the lower officials, everything is up to the two adults to decide."

The three of them looked at Jia Ying again, and Jia Ying chuckled lightly and said, "The lower officials are just supervising and interrogating, they just watch but don't talk about it."

Li Qian'an intends to strike while the iron is hot and continue the trial, but now that Zhuang Wenyun is dead and there is no witness, and with Pang Wei, the deputy judge's words, he can't refute the other party's face, so he can only agree now. down.

"Remand Xu Fengyan, the criminal officer, to the prison for retrial at another date, and leave the court!"

Jia Ying thought back to the scene in the lobby just now, Li Qian'an's attack on Xu Fengyan was fierce, and he was determined to settle the case of Xu Fengyan's rebellion.Pang Wei's attitude was ambiguous, and he seemed to favor the Xu family, but he only said one innocuous word during the whole process, giving Xu Fengyan a chance to speak.As for the granary
And Zhuang Wenyun and Kang Xiaolian suddenly hanged themselves at home, no matter how you look at it, there is a taste of conspiracy.

The King of Chu has already been arrested, and there may be some remaining minions who have escaped, but now they are too busy to take care of themselves, so they don't have the time to care about other things.

The Xu family is now on the cusp of the storm, and it's too late to keep a low profile. It shouldn't be Xu Zhemu, the dignified boss, who will not do such meaningless stupid things.
Jia Ying is not sure, maybe Xu Zhemu took the risk because of his deep affection?

But the possibility should not be great!
But if it wasn't the king of Chu's person, and it wasn't the hands of Xu Zhemu, then who would it be?
Could it be that the two committed suicide in fear of crime?

Hehe, isn't Jia Ying looking down on them, corrupt officials, would have the courage to commit suicide?Are you not afraid of pain?
Or is it the emperor?Or Li Endi?

Jia Ying shook his head, and didn't think about it anymore. He hadn't seen the bodies of the two, so he couldn't tell whether it was homicide or suicide.Besides, there are so many masters in the Embroidery Guard and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so it's not my turn to worry about it.

At the yamen gate of Dali Temple, there was an old servant holding a silk parcel, praying to the yamen guard for something, Jia Ying, who stepped out of the gate, didn't pay much attention, and was about to call Xi'er to lead the horse, but saw At the bottom of the steps, there was a carriage parked beside the stone lion outside the door, and Xu Lao Er led the horse and stood by.

The stone steps of Dali Temple are very high, there are dozens of steps. Right now, the eyes of the two sides are facing each other, one is looking down, the other is looking up, but Jia Ying can see a trace of loss and alienation in the eyes of Xu Laoer .

Seeing Jia Ying coming out, Xi'er hastily led the horse over, but saw Jia Ying waving at him, signaling him to wait aside, while Jia Ying herself walked towards the carriage.

Seeing Jia Ying approaching from a distance, Xu Fengnian turned his head and whispered into the carriage.

"Everyone is here, why don't you go in?" Jia Ying asked Xu Fengnian as he approached.

"The Xu family is full of crimes now, so how can they be qualified to enter the high threshold of Dali Temple?" Xu Fengnian laughed at himself, then looked at the guards at the gate, and said: "You didn't see that the money of the Xu family is now in the eyes of these guards. Do you think it stinks?"

Jia Ying didn't answer, but glanced at the carriage, sighed softly and said to Xu Fengnian, "What do you want to know? As long as it doesn't involve the progress of the case, I can tell you about it."

Xu Fengnian sneered and said: "Your Majesty Yu Shi is indeed a rising star in the officialdom, but I haven't seen him for a few days, and he speaks with an official tone. If it wasn't for the progress of my elder brother's case, why should I come here?" How about belittled to these servants? My lord wants to be busy with official business, just go, don't waste time with me, a dandy."

When Jia Ying heard this, she laughed angrily, looked at Xu Fengnian and said, "Second Xu, how come I don't know that you still have such a shameless face? Who will show the yin and yang weirdness! Do you want to ask? If you don't ask me, you will really leave , when the time comes, let’s see if anyone here still pays attention to you!”

As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave. Seeing this, the second son of Xu, no longer reserved, grabbed Jia Ying's arm, grabbed him back, and cried and laughed: "Jia Ying, I know you are not Ungrateful Wang Ba, my son's servant saw you entering the Rong Mansion yesterday, but your doorman said you were not there, so he knew it was the work of that guy's servant with eyes on his buttocks. When I met you, tell me quickly, what's going on inside?"

Jia Ying said that Xu's second child grabbed his hand and cursed with a smile: "Two big men, don't talk about it, I'm not as good as Long Yang!"

Then he looked at Xu Fengnian's red eyes, and said: "You are a dignified second son of the second assistant's family, why do you have red eyes at every turn, you are not even as good as a woman, you can't let go of your ass, let alone you have not yet fallen!" !"

Second Xu wiped his eyes, and said with a playful laugh, "Jia Ying, you still know me well, but I'm not as good as a woman, my father locked himself in the study room and didn't see anyone, and my elder brother was locked up again. After arriving at Dali Temple, if my second sister hadn't been calm and calm to prop up the Xu Mansion, I wouldn't even have thought of a way to ask you for help yesterday!"

As he said that, he glanced at the carriageway again: "Oh, it's a pity that the girl from your family got there first, and I couldn't marry my second sister to you before something happened in my family, otherwise."

"Xu Fengnian, if you keep talking nonsense, see if I don't tear it apart." There was a shy shout from inside the carriage, but in the middle of the sentence, it seemed that he felt out of control again, and his voice softened, but he said again: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will It's not up to you."

Second Xu shrank his neck in embarrassment, and looked at Jia Ying expectantly.

Looking at Xu's second child, Jia Ying shook her head helplessly, and said, "I didn't see you yesterday, so don't wrong someone else. I'm the supervisor of your elder brother's case, how can I just get you?" The reason why I met you when I got an errand, but you are still the son of the Cifu family, don't you even understand the reason to avoid suspicion?"

Second Xu looked at the carriage in embarrassment. Seeing that Jia Ying had turned around, he realized that it was Xu Wenyu's idea. Probably because he cared about it, it would cause confusion, but he didn't want to blame a girl, so he changed his voice and said, "Just look for me. Just send someone to spread the word, how can I be so reckless to you, it can be seen that I can't do anything well!"

Xu Wenyu in the carriage was originally blushing, but after hearing Jia Ying's words, he felt reasonable, right? In that situation, no matter how you make a girl get along with her family, it's all because of her brother's failure to live up to expectations.

Xu Lao Er didn't look at the carriage again, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Others say that I, the son of the secondary assistant family, have a silver spear and a wax head, and I agree with that."

"This is not a place to talk. I just want to tell you that your brother didn't suffer much in there. As for the progress of the case, the trial has just started. If there is any progress, you just wait in the mansion, don't ask for more What do you care about, I can't even get involved in this matter, let alone you!" Jia Ying's words were half-truthful, and some things involved the disputes in the court, and not one person could change anything, but he didn't I would like to see the two siblings worrying about this all day long, that's all I can do to comfort them.

"Jia Ying, you can't just ignore death and ignore it. My master treats you as a friend. Otherwise, I wouldn't cough up my old sister. Anyway, you have to help."

Jia Ying said helplessly, "Do you know what your elder brother Xu Fengyan did? Don't say I'm just a supervisor, I'm the presiding judge. Well, I can only say, help as much as I can. .”

The second Xu was about to say something, but he heard Xu Wenyu's crisp voice from inside the carriage saying: "Lord Jia, don't listen to your younger brother's nonsense, I just hope you can do your best to take care of this matter, our Xu family is grateful Endless."

When Jia Ying heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "Miss Xu, why is she so out of touch? Feng Nian and I are friends, so you can just call me Jia Ying."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Elder Xu and said, "Go back as soon as possible, waiting here is useless, the interrogation has ended early, have you ever seen the three presiding judges come out? Go back and wait, I believe Your father has his own reasons, if there is something to do in the future, send someone to look for Second Brother Lian and let him get in touch with him."

After Xu Er Er escorted the carriage away, Jia Yingfu gave Xi'er instructions: "Xi'er, let's go to Fu's residence."
