high official

Chapter 428

"Official, official..." Zhao Youde fell into a conflict. If he was interrogated first, there would be nothing to say. According to Master Futai, he just insisted on it.But now the master Futai has fainted from fright, what should he do?Or do I faint from fright?
Seeing Zhao Youde's flickering eyes and tangled complexion, Wang Xian continued to use his contagious voice: "You heard it just now, with the evidence I have now, is it enough to convict you?"

"Here, what is your crime?" Zhao Youde said in surprise, "I'm a small county magistrate, but I don't know anything."

"Pretending to be smart!" Wang Xian sneered, and said, "If you don't know anything, how did Yangqu County make up for the huge deficit overnight? If you didn't participate in anything, why would people take the risk?" Take away the military rations that you have embezzled privately, and use them to make up for your deficit!"

"This..." As expected of being from the Zhuhui, Wang Xian can always point to the vital point, leaving the other party speechless.Zhao Youde's forehead was sweating immediately, but he was selected as a pioneer by the prefect of He, so he was naturally superior. He organized his speech in a short while and said: "Please forgive me, this county is Fuguo County, the prefecture, the province , Even a lot of expenses in the palace have to be transferred from the county, so the deficit in the county's accounts is mostly due to the arrears of the yamen above. Because next year is the year of foreign inspection, if the deficit is not made up, the official will be finished Yes. It was the lower officials who begged in every possible way, but fortunately the upper officials were considerate and paid back the money in time, and the county settled the account." After Zhao Youde finished speaking, he was secretly relieved, thinking that you are out of luck now, right?
"You're so smart!" Who knew that Wang Xian slapped the table, and his voice was full of coldness and sternness: "You said that the deficit was made up, because the superior paid back the arrears. Well, let's show the details of the debt repayment?"

"How can I remember this for a while..." Zhao Youde said awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember," Wang Xian teased, "I have already sent someone to your county government office to seal up all accounts!"

"What?" Zhao Youde was stunned.

Wang Xian smiled lightly and said: "Lord Zhao can't remember, I have to spend more time."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Youde was in a state of turmoil. Just now he was next door, and he had already heard Wang Xian's sensational auditing ability... He province's accounts were checked in three days, and a mere Yangqu County must not even take half a day. ...

"Let's talk about this first today." Wang Xian seemed to take the initiative to end the conversation and said, "We will continue our chat after checking the accounts."

"Okay." Zhao Youde wiped off his sweat, no matter what, let's go through the barrier in front of him first, "Can I go, Xiaguan?"

"Wait a minute." Wang Xian coughed lightly and said, "Come here." Wu Wei then flashed out from behind the screen, holding a wooden tray in his hand. On the tray was a stack of paper, with pens and ink pads on the side.

Zhao Zhixian is very familiar with this set, this is to ask him to sign the statement after recording the statement.Can't help swallowing and spitting, and secretly scolded this kid for being insidious... and kept saying that it was not an interrogation.

"Lord Zhao, relax, this is not a confession." Wang Xian finally showed a little smile and said: "It's just a conversation, but as an imperial envoy, I am questioning you for the emperor, so we must summarize our conversation. Submit it with correct writing. Please Mr. Zhao carefully read this conversation record, if there is nothing false, we will sign it, and I will send it to the emperor as soon as possible!"

'Isn't this still a confession? Zhao Zhixian shouted wildly in his heart, he was finally convinced that this young man in front of him was more difficult to deal with than a poisonous snake, a move that seemed to be understatement, but in fact it was attacking people's vital points.He tried his best to dodge in embarrassment, but he was cornered.

Seeing that he was still refusing to take up the pen, Wang Xian asked with concern: "Why, is there something wrong with the record?"

"No, no." Zhao Zhixian shook his head with difficulty, looking forward to Wang Xian.

"Then why didn't you sign it?" Wang Xian said slowly: "Could it be that your confession itself has something to deceive the saint?"

"No, no..." Zhao Zhixian felt guilty and short of breath, sweating profusely.

"That's weird. Since you didn't lie and the record is correct, why didn't you sign it?" Wang Xian narrowed his eyes and stared at him coldly.

"I, I." How dare Zhao Zhixian sign on this?Once signed, it cannot be changed and goes directly to Shengting!Wang Xian only needs to present the account books he found, and his lies will be exposed immediately. That is the crime of deceiving the emperor!After thinking about it, he found that he had reached a dead end, and he was stabbed when he stretched his head out, and he was also stabbed when he retracted his head!

Zhao Zhixian finally deeply understood the feelings of He Zhifu just now, sighed helplessly, raised his pen tremblingly, and hung his wrist in the air for a while, then suddenly rolled his eyes, and passed out limply...

"Okay..." Wang Xian, Zhou Yong and the others were stunned, "I fainted again..."

"Lord Zhao," Wang Xian poked Zhixian Zhao with his toe, but the other party was as motionless as a dead pig, so he could only sigh and said, "Carry it down."

The guards dragged the motionless Zhao Zhixian out again.

"Did you see it?" Wang Xian took off his black gauze hat, threw it on the table and said, "If you are forced to do nothing, you will faint. Believe it or not, if you continue the interrogation, you will still faint."

"Hehe, they still have illusions about the bosses in the backstage, thinking that if they procrastinate like this, they will usher in a turnaround." Wu Wei carefully kept the notes, and said with a smile: "Unless the adults can make them lose their illusions."

"That's right, it's not enough to just hit the flies without hitting the tiger," Wang Xian said, walking two steps with his hands behind his back, "but you have to do it step by step, you have to hit the young ones first, then the old ones will be shocked, and the old ones won't jump out. How do we fight?"

"What shall we do next?"

"Continue to interrogate, close a few more, and see how they react."

.

That afternoon, three more officials were interrogated, and as expected, they were again speechless after being questioned by Wang Xian. They either fainted or turned into gourds.In fact, Wang Xian had plenty of ways to get them to talk, but he was not in a hurry to make a move, as if he wanted to keep playing this cat-and-mouse game.

He is not in a hurry here, but the officials in Taiyuan over there can't stand it, no matter how big the officials are, once they enter the Xingyuan, they can't get out. Who would dare to go in later?They all ran to the Fantai Yamen and asked Zhang Chun for help.

"Uncle Fang, you have to take care of it. That Wang Xian made such a mess, he dared to detain people indiscriminately because of his status as an imperial envoy." The officials surrounded Zhang Fantai and said in one go: "Congratulations!" Futai is a senior official of the fourth grade. As a rule, even an imperial envoy has to ask for an order to detain him. But Wang Xian didn't ask for an order, so he detained the Futai master. I don't know if there is any torture to extract a confession!" "" That's right, even if he is an imperial envoy, he can't mess around! Fang Bo, you can take care of this matter, and you can take care of it with confidence!"

Zhang Chun was already worried and had a headache, but he felt as if his head was going to split when he was quarreled by everyone. He raised his hand and signaled everyone to shut up and said, "Our Shanxi officials are the subject of investigation, and this seat is not good either. Come forward." Everyone showed disappointed expressions, and they were about to speak, but they heard him change the subject: "However, in order to prevent him from judging the case unfairly, I have already asked the prince to come forward and invite Xuanda and the imperial envoys to come to Taiyuan to investigate the case together The imperial envoy will arrive soon, and everyone has the right to be patient for a few days."

"In the past few days, I don't know how many people have been arrested again, and I don't know how many crimes the people inside will suffer?" The officials were first happy, and then panicked.

"Go back, you can't die." Zhang Chun smiled and said, "It's just a kind of experience. It's hard work, and you can't do what you do." .After everyone left, Zhang Fantai asked Zhang An to come over and said, "Is Lao Zhou ready?"

"It's done." Zhang An said: "He came out of Xingyuan in the afternoon and didn't go back. He was waiting for the master's instructions at home."

"What does it have to do with the old man?" Zhang Chun said angrily, "This is a matter between him and the palace, and I have never been aware of it from the beginning to the end!"

"Yes, yes." Zhang An said with a smile, "I'm too young to do things, and I don't feel at ease. Lao Zhou's only son was sent to Fenyang by me a few days ago. If the old boy dares to reveal half a word, his Lao Zhou's family will be punished." It's time to die."

"Yeah." Zhang Chun then sighed softly and said, "It's a crime."

"It's worth sacrificing a little girl for the wealth of the provincial officials!" Zhang An quickly comforted the adults.

"Go." Zhang Chun waved his hand, closed his eyes and recited the mantra of passing away.

Zhang An cursed secretly in his heart, the cat cried and the mouse pretended to be merciful.He hurriedly took orders to go out, and made a series of trips from the old Zhou's house to the palace, then hid in the restaurant opposite the palace of the imperial envoy, ordered a table of wine and food, poured himself a drink, and waited to watch the show.

When it was dark, I saw a group of palace guards coming from the north, and the fire dragon made of torches dragged so long that there seemed to be hundreds of people, surrounding the imperial envoy Xingyuan.

The guards in the Xingyuan were also alarmed, and immediately set up defenses everywhere, confronting the uninvited guest across the courtyard wall!
The focus of the confrontation is naturally at the Yuanmen. The two sides are at war across the fence, the fire is shining on the ground, the figures are chaotic, and the atmosphere is extremely tense!
"One more step forward, shoot and kill!" The imperial guard shot a row of crossbow arrows towards the ground, drawing the bottom line of patience, which made the opponent stop slightly.At this time Zhou Yong rushed to the door after hearing the news, and angrily said: "Who dares to attack the palace of the imperial envoy and retreat quickly!"

"Can't you tell, we are the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion!" An officer dressed in the uniform of a thousand households stood out from the crowd and beat the armor of the soldiers around him with a horse whip.

"The guards of the palace? We don't violate the water of the river," Zhou Yong said in a deep voice, "Why did you suddenly come to provoke me?"

"If the well water doesn't offend the river water, of course we wouldn't come here." The thousand households said coldly: "But now your well water has greatly offended the river water, it's a different matter!"

"What kind of well water violates the river water, please make it clear!" Zhou Yong said with a serious face.

"Of course you have to make it clear," the thousand households cupped their hands in the direction of the palace, and said angrily, "A concubine of my lord's concubine disappeared, and the brothers couldn't find it. Today, I got a secret report saying that she was sent to the imperial envoy. In the hands of my lord, I was trampled on!" As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, not only Zhou Yong and others were in an uproar, but even the guards of the palace were stunned!
