Chapter 542 Defection
In later generations, there are urban management fishing law enforcement, and in this generation, there is Ji Dudu fishing to collect evidence.

At the beginning, the reason why Ji Gang asked Chen Zhou to come forward to buy the test questions, instead of directly using Jin Yiwei's people to go fishing, was because Ji Yan was also very careful in his actions at that time. The test questions in his hand were not sold for money, but to select buyers. , only those who are also required to take part in this examination will do.It makes sense for Ji Yan to do this, because these people bought the exam questions to be admitted to Jinshi, if others know that they bought the exam questions, even if they pass the exam, they will be looked down upon by others, and there will be lifelong troubles .Even friends who won't leak the news are still competitors, and if one more person knows about it, one more person will grab the spot, so those who really want to take the exam will not disclose it to anyone after they get the exam questions.

However, the Dao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high, Ji Gang actually found a real juren to set up the questions, and Chen Zhou and Ji Yan had met a few times before. Although they didn't have much friendship, they were at least familiar with each other.In addition, Hu Zhong complained about Ji Yan's being too cautious, thinking that he was rich but not earning.Ji Yan had no choice but to relax the review and sold the exam questions to Chen Zhou, who was not very familiar with him, but he fell into the trick...

Liang Qian didn't know about these things at first, but in the past few days, someone has been sending him secret messages, and he finally understood who cheated him.Master Liang wished he could get rid of that little bastard Hu Zhong, but at this moment, he naturally had to pretend that he didn't know anything, and could only watch Ji Gang turn upside down.

"Master Wu, please take a look, this is Chen Zhou's confession." Zhuang Jing took out another confession and asked someone to forward it to Wu Zhongdao: "The time and place of the transaction has been clearly explained." As for that Ji Yan , was directly imprisoned from the Gongyuan, but because Wang Xian led people to make trouble at that time, Ji Gang's subordinates only had time to interrogate Hu Zhong, and did not take care of him. Afterwards, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate took over the case and detained him In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Ji Gang did not have his confession.But this is not a big problem, because in such the highest Dharma hall in the country, even if you are bold for a long time, you will be scared out of your courage first.At that time, as long as Chen Zhou confronts him in court, this kid will definitely confess obediently.

Gossip less, back to the main story, the next moment, Wu Shangshu summoned Chen Zhou and Ji Yan to the lobby.

After a while, the two Juren were brought into the hall, and they were completely opposite in appearance, one was tall and thin, the other was short and stocky, but their expressions were exactly the same, they were both out of their minds.

"Who's in the hall?" After all, the two were juren, and Wu Shangshu didn't pat the gavel, so his words were considered polite.

"Student Chen Zhou, I pay my respects to all your lords." The tall and thin man was called Chen Zhou. After the incident, he was not caught in prison, but was waiting for a summons at home, but his complexion looked worse than that of Ji Yan. It seems that these days are also difficult.

"Student Ji Yan, I greet you, my lords." The short and stout one was naturally Ji Yan. He spoke Mandarin with a Jishui accent, and he knew that he was from Hu Ge's hometown.

"Ji Yan, are you guilty?!" Wu Shangshu squinted his eyes, staring coldly at Ji Yan with his years of practice, capable of subjugating demons and exorcising demons.

"Student," Ji Yan swallowed, "I don't know what the crime is..."

"Hehe, you have to think clearly, even if the charges are the same in the end, there is a big difference in sentencing between voluntary confession and forced confession." Wu Zhong sneered: "I will ask you again, do you know?" ?”

Ji Yan felt sweat on his forehead immediately, but after being silent for a while, he still shook his head forcefully and said, "I really don't know..."

"Then do you recognize this person?" Wu Shangshu pointed at Chen Zhou and said.

Ji Yan turned his head to look at Chen Zhou, his face became paler and more sweaty, and the fear in his heart was obviously getting heavier and heavier.His reaction made all the adults present secretly disdain, thinking that this kid was going to resist, but it turned out that he was just being stubborn.But Liang Qian's heart fell to the bottom. As long as Ji Yan made a move, coupled with Hu Zhong and Chen Zhou's confessions, even if he didn't speak, he would be convicted of a capital crime...

"Say!" Wu Shangshu finally picked up the gavel and slapped the table heavily.

"I said, I said..." Ji Yan was terrified, and it took him a while to settle down: "I've seen him a few times before, but it's the first time I've heard that he is called Chen Zhou."

"Ridiculous, you sold him the test questions, why don't you ask his name?" Mr. Zhuang interjected and scolded.He felt something was wrong, Ji Yan's exam questions were all sold to the same year, how could he not know their names?
"I sell exam questions?" Ji Yan said with wide eyes: "Why did you say that? A mere student, how can he have such supernatural powers? Besides, even if I can get the exam questions, I will try my best to keep them secret and ensure that I can get them." Isn't it more cost-effective than earning a lot of money to get into the top few exams?"

"It's useless if you don't say it!" Zhuang Jing scolded: "Chen Zhou has already explained everything between you, if you don't speak up, you will die even worse!" He turned to Chen Zhou and said, "Get you out of him Tell him the story of buying the test questions there!"

All eyes turned to Chen Zhou, and Ji Yan was sweating profusely, and he was on the verge of collapse.After a moment of dead silence, Chen Zhou finally spoke, "The students have never bought test questions from him..."

"Did you hear that, he didn't buy it from you to try..." Zhuang Jing repeated Chen Juren's words with a proud face, and then stopped abruptly at the end, turned his head in disbelief, and stared at Chen Zhou.

Ji Gang and the others also stared at Chen Zhou incredulously, they could stuff an egg into their mouth... As for what kind of egg, it has something to do with the size of the individual's mouth.

Uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on the faces of Ji Yan and Liang Qian—Ji Yan, a young man like him, is fine, and even Liang Qian, who is in his late [-]s and has cultivated himself to the point of "eight winds are immovable", can't help it. Unable to restrain his emotions, it can be seen how unexpected and delightful Chen Zhou's defection is!

In fact, Liang Qian and Ji Yan are both carrying it hard. The former is carrying it because he knows that with Emperor Yongle's violence, once he is convicted, it is impossible to leave a whole body, and it is very likely to cause disaster. and his family, so he has to hold out until the end... The so-called no tears will come when he sees the coffin, even if he hits the south wall, he can't turn back.

As for the latter, he is not as strong-willed as Liang Qian. He can hold on to his mouth. First, he has been locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and has never been served by the Jinyiwei. Second, the interrogation has just begun after all, and his will is still He didn't completely collapse; and the most important and most secret point was that the day before the trial, the jailer who brought him food suddenly said that his superiors said that if you just deny it tomorrow, you can save yourself from danger.Liang Qian was at a time when he was helpless to the extreme, and when he heard this kind of words suddenly, it was like grasping at straws, but when he wanted to ask again, the jailer had already gone far.

Last night, Ji Juren didn't close his eyes, and his mind was full of what the jailer had said to him. He recalled that the jailer never came to deliver food, which meant that the jailer came specifically for him.Ji Ju is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is very smart. Of course, it is a matter of life and death, so there is no reason why he is not smart.After much deliberation, Ji Juren was sure that the jailer did not intend to harm himself, because the case would be a dead end if he confessed to it himself, and there was no need for others to add another thing, so the jailer must not be harming himself... holding on to a dead horse as a living With the attitude of Dr. Ma, Ji Ju decided to be stubborn to the end, otherwise he would have been frightened by Wu Shangshu and Master Zhuang's repeated bluffs just now...

But before Chen Zhou opened his mouth, Ji Yan was almost fainted, because he knew very well that as long as Chen Zhou confessed, Wu Shangshu would have a good reason to deprive himself of his family background.
This is like on the guillotine, the executioner has already raised the knife, but someone suddenly shouted "Keep people under the knife". Inspire their infinite hope and strength!

.

"You say it again?" Zhuang Jing came back to his senses, staring at Chen Zhou's eyes like a poisonous snake, he paused every word, and said coldly.

"The students didn't buy the test questions from him," Chen Zhou was stared at profusely, but he said more and more smoothly: "At that time, Mr. Ji's subordinates threatened the students with Gao Tang's safety, and went to Brother Ji to buy the test questions, but Brother Ji just looked at the student in astonishment, scolded me, and criticized me for not thinking about studying hard, but for thinking of crooked ways! He scolded me back in despair." After a pause, he said: "After coming back, the students are afraid of discipline. My lord's subordinates will hurt my parents, so I randomly found three questions from Cheng Moshang over the years to fool me and hand in the job..."

"You are talking nonsense!" Even Ji Gang couldn't sit still anymore, and said, "The test questions you gave me are obviously the three questions of this subject! I have already presented it to the emperor as evidence, even if I am blind, If there is an entry and exit, will the emperor not be able to see it?!"

"The three questions I wrote, one is 'There is a way to make money', the other is 'the people are satisfied, which one is not enough', and the other is 'blame the king's respect', which are completely different from the questions in the general examination." Chen Zhou As he spoke, his face turned pale, obviously frightened, but in the eyes of the chief judge and jury, it was just his normal reaction to be intimidated by Ji Gang's despotic power... In the hearts of Wu Shangshu and Liu Zongxian, they already believed that This is the speech of Juren this season.On the one hand, it was because Ji Gang's reputation in the past was so bad that it was always hard for people to believe his words.On the other hand, no one could believe that a frail scholar dared to risk angering Ji Gang by lying in the hall of the Ministry of Punishment!
The two ministers would rather think that this Ji Juren was a scholar's conscience discovery, or some other reason, that made him decide to tell the truth...

But Ji Gang knew that Ji Yan was clearly fucking nonsense this time!I read the exam questions that Ji Yan got before the exam, and when the exam questions came out, I compared them, and they were naturally exactly the same!Although Dudu Ji is a graduate of school, he is not illiterate, and he can even read the wrong title if it is different!
