【Twenty-three times】Three-inch Poison Tongue Yushu Jia
Wang He knew that once he recognized all this, the emperor would deal with him in order to calm the public's grievances.
Although he surrendered himself to save his family's lives, everyone is afraid of life and death. Even if he is determined to die, it is difficult to remain calm before the disaster comes.
At this time, his mind was in chaos. All he could sense was the desolation of his wife, children, and his children in the future. He had no intention of thinking about how to evade Jiang Chengyi and make him believe that he was the culprit of the explosion.
He was reluctant to speak, and the hall was silent.
Deng Guozhong was holding a heart, his hands covered with fine lines and slightly protruding blue veins were tightly clasped on the robe attached to his knees, and a slight cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
At this time, Jiang Chengyi then asked: "Wang He! I asked you for the last time! Are you telling the truth today at Dongfusi? "
Wang He curled up under the hall, his head drooping, and his ears buzzing, as if he couldn't hear his words.
Jiang Chengyi coughed twice on purpose.
He saw the man in the hall clasping his hands together, whiteness appeared between his fingers, and his eyes kept turning, deciding what he was about.
After a while, Wang He, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "What the villain told today in the Dongfu Department is the truth, and there is no adulteration... Shi An is indeed poisoned to death... The villain bribed the news of the martial arts world, and went outside the city because of someone's recommendation. The villain did not set foot on the so-called dark shop.
The place where the villain got the poison was within three miles of the northern suburbs, a ruined temple called Liuye Temple.
The villain first asked someone to hand over the news to the shopkeeper of the dark village shop, and then waited alone in the dilapidated temple. After a while, a masked man in black sent the poison to the dilapidated temple. The villain got the medicine... So what Jiang Zhusi asked just now, the villain really didn't know how to answer. The villain had never seen the shopkeeper of the dark village shop, and he didn't know where the shop was... I'm afraid there was no way to provide clues to Jiang Zhusi."
This Wang He has no flaw in telling the cause and effect before and after.
Jiang Chengyi pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, you have admitted all the crimes. Wang He! You not only poisoned the important criminals of the court, but also detonated the Deng family and took the opportunity to blame Deng Yuan, but also indirectly affected many innocent people. This heinous crime, if you deal with the law of the Great Wei, will definitely be sentenced to extreme punishment. Are you clear about these?"
He emphasized again, reminding Wang He in his words.
Unexpectedly, the man in the hall was determined: "The villain knows what consequences will be if he surrenders. But the villain does not regret it. The innocent people in Luoyang were implicated because of the villain's resentment... Even if the villain is tortured, he cannot repay the deceased one by one."
Jiang Chengyi knew that since Wang He was determined to admit this crime, there was no need to continue the trial at this moment.
But he didn't plan to release him.
Jing Ting and Chang Yu both listened to the interrogation attentively. At this moment, they stared at Jiang Chengyi with fear that he would not be able to withstand it, so that Deng Guozhong would succeed and bring Deng Yuan back to the Taiwei Mansion from the Eastern Palace.
Seeing that Wang He almost couldn't answer, Deng Guozhong finally realized the cause and effect, and the tense nerves on his body finally relaxed.
He heard the answer he wanted to hear, and now he completely revealed his original intention and said anxiously: "Jiangzhusi also heard it... Since this person has admitted that the explosion was done by him alone... Then, please let Jiangzhusi release my grandson... and let him and my husband return home. The year is approaching. I hope Jiangzhusi will understand my husband's heart that hopes to reunite with his family."
Seeing that he was so anxious, Jiang Chengyi said slowly: "Don't be anxious... If the wise grandson is indeed innocent, I will report to Your Majesty and let the city defense army release it..."
When Deng Guozhong heard his words were wrong, he immediately said, "What do you mean? Can the culprit of this case prove my grandson's innocence and cannot ask the chief officer of Jiang to submit a report to Your Majesty?"
Jiang Chengyi refused without hesitation: "That's exactly that."
Deng Guozhong's eyes were red in anger, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Jiang Chengyi! Don't bully people too much! Your Majesty once promised in public that if the culprit was found in this case, my grandson would be released immediately. Do you want to resist the order and refuse to obey it?"
Jiang Chengyi said without changing his face: "Don't be impatient, so I naturally dare not resist the order. But... in the explosion case, I and the commander, Weiwei found some evidence... These can confirm the crime process mentioned by Wang He just said, proving that he was indeed related to the explosion case. However,... in Shi An's death, I cannot find any evidence to prove that it was indeed done by Wang He. Therefore, although the Xiansun got rid of the suspect in the explosion case, he had never got rid of the suspect of poisoning the imperial court. For consideration of this matter, please forgive me for not being able to obey and release the Xiansun."
These words are reasonable and well-founded, blocking Deng Guozhong speechless.
The emperor naturally needs to look at real evidence. The suspect in the explosion case can be cleared. The emperor only needs one person to be pushed out to calm the anger of the people. As for the case of Shi An being poisoned, the emperor can order Jiang Chengyi to investigate slowly without worrying.
Deng Guozhong also knew this.
He sat down with some weakness, his expression was extremely bad.
Jing Ting and Chang Yu looked at each other, and they all felt admiration for Jiang Chengyi.
If any of them are called to be tried, they may have been disturbed by what Wang He said, thinking that the culprit surrendered and the case would not be necessary to continue to investigate. If Deng Guozhong was eagerly urging him on the side, they would soon compromise and release Deng Yuan who was being detained.
Jiang Chengyi smiled and said to Deng Guozhong: "Master Taiwei... Since you are here to hear the trial today, why not be with me... How about the trial of the wise grandson?"
Deng Guozhong stared at his eyes as big as a copper bell, and his eyes were full of anger, as if he was about to swallow the young man in front of him, and his teeth were creaking.
He was suppressed by Deng Yuan, who was kneeling on the far right and was suppressed by the city defense force and could not raise his head. He was so angry that he smoked his orifices. He held a gloomy breath for a long time before saying, "I am afraid that my life will not last long... I can't interrogate with Lord Jiang, so I went back."
Jiang Chengyi said without hesitation: "That's true... I'll ask the Grand Marshal to walk all the way. The sky is dark, so be careful to hit the steps. If you fall, you won't even be able to go to tomorrow's morning court."
Deng Guozhong had never been so angry. He heard that he seemed polite but was full of sharp words everywhere. He was so angry that he blew his beard and almost jumped out of the Dongfusi.
Jing Ting and Chang Yu saw Deng Guozhong striding with high expectations and returned in anger. They both became worried for Jiang Chengyi: "Mr. Jiang has now taken one move... he has completely offended the Taiwei. In this way, you will be in the court in the future..."
Jiang Chengyi said: "I am originally a member of the Dongfu Office, and I eat the salary that offends people... I don't need to care about these things. What's more, even if I don't offend the Grand Marshal now, he may not be targeted at me in the court."
He is indeed telling the truth.
Even if Jiang Chengyi was ordered by the Lord of the Shui Pavilion and surrendered to the Emperor of Wei, in the eyes of all the ministers, he was just a poor family, and was born in the world, humble and inferior, and could not be compared with the gentry. Although Deng and Fu were all the core powers of the Wei Emperor's party, they despise Jiang Chengyi. Even if he was famous in the literary world of the Great Wei Dynasty and had a wide range of disciples, once he entered the court and infringed on the rights and interests of the gentry, he would be just a hypocrite who was "greedy and vain".
Jing Ting and Chang Yu also understood this matter.
Today, the Great Wei Dynasty is the royal family in charge of the gentry. The poor families and the common people are unable to compete for the top, and even if they enter the official career, they can only be suppressed by the children of the gentry and cannot turn over.
If Jiang Chengyi did not have a strong financial, material and manpower behind Shuitiao, which had almost monopolized most of the trade routes of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Emperor of Wei would not have taken the risk of pushing Jiang Chengyi to the position of the head of the Eastern Prefecture Minister, which was borne by the children of the gentry for generations.
After Jiang Chengyi dealt with this farce of Dongfusi, he bid farewell to Jing Ting and Chang Yu and took Xue Qing back to Jiangfu.
Along the way, he always felt that Deng Guozhong seemed to be hiding something in one fell swoop today.
So he instructed Xue Qing: "Tomorrow, we will order the Qianji Department to transfer records of various cargo ships sent to the capital in Yangzhou. We will especially ask people to carefully search for the goods transferred from Su Ren from the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion and sent out."
Xue Qing looked stunned and said, "Young Master is investigating why these are you?"
Jiang Chengyi said: "I always care about the eight wooden boxes that disappeared in Deng Yuan's mansion. Perhaps it was because of Chang Yu and Jing Ting that Deng Guozhong rushed to push Wang He to take the blame. Since that is the case, we naturally need to find out what he is covering up."
Xue Qing nodded and responded, thinking of Wang He, he said worriedly: "It's just... Master, what should Wang He do? Since he was the one who was pushed to take the blame by the Grand Tutor, wouldn't he be innocent?"
Jiang Chengyi was not moved and said: "There are also murder cases on Wang He's hands, and there are quite a few. Although they were pushed out by Deng Guozhong at this moment, they are not worthy of sympathy. If he really dealt with by His Majesty for this, it would be considered a cycle of reincarnation and retribution."
After hearing this, Xue Qing stopped asking more questions.
The next day, Jiang Chengyi returned to the mansion in the morning, and Xue Qing hurried to Uncle Fang Si's place to retrieve the case files reviewed by Qianji Department.
In the east courtyard, Jiang Chengyi was digging a wine jar buried outside the kitchen and planning to have a drink secretly, but asked Mu Yun to catch him. She chased him and ran away from the house to avoid being beaten.
Finally, he sat cross-legged in front of the Jiang Mansion with the door closed with a bag, staring at the crowd coming and going outside the Taixue Mansion with a depressed look on his face.
When Xue Qing hurriedly drove back to Jiang Mansion with the file, he saw Jiang Chengyi holding a small bag pitifully, holding his head and sitting in front of the door in frustration. He immediately went up and asked, "What's wrong with the young master? How can you be outside the mansion? It's cold and cold? You..."
Jiang Chengyi glared at him with a resentment and said, "Did you... tell my wife where I hid my wine? Why... she... so happened to find me?"
