The moon on August 16 was very round, sprinkled with clear light all over the ground, but at this moment, the cell in Yuncheng County was a little stuffy, and the air was filled with a smell of blood and mold, as well as all kinds of sweat and urine.

Hundreds of inspectors of the Catfish Mouth Inspection Division are imprisoned here, so it seems very crowded, and the inspectors are lying on the dirty ground one by one, talking about boring, participating in the murder of Qincha, which is a serious crime, and what awaits them will be the end of the head.

Bang dang......

The iron door of the cell opened, and several Jinyi guards walked in, and the prisoners in the cell all showed frightened expressions, which showed that they had suffered a lot during this period of trial, and had a psychological shadow on Jinyiwei.

These brocade-clothed guards walked straight to the cell where Song Chi was being held, and said coldly: "Song Chi, tonight, Lord Qin sent Lord Xu to come to the court for interrogation in person, so let's do it myself!" ”

After Jin Yiwei finished speaking, he opened the iron door and took the walking corpse-like Yanzhou prefect Song Chi out.

The county hall hall.

The lights were bright, Xu Jin was sitting in a cyan official robe at the back of the desk, and there were two rows of hand-embroidered spring swords and brocade guards in front of the hall, and the atmosphere was solemn and gloomy.

Xue Bingxin, who was disguised as a man, stood behind Xu Jin with a long sword in her arms, and a pair of light blue eyes stared coldly at Song Chi, the prefect of Yanzhou. In her eyes, there are only two kinds of officials, one is a good official who thinks about the people, and the other is a bad official who exploits and oppresses the people. This Song Chi is undoubtedly a bad official who should be killed, even if he steals and sells official food, he actually digs up the embankment of the Yellow River in a frenzy, and I don't know how many people have been killed.

Xu Jin looked at the crumbling Yanzhou prefect Song Chi calmly, this person was originally born with a dignified appearance, but in just ten days, he has lost a lot of weight, his eye sockets are inverted, his eye circles are black, and he looks like he is in his last years, and he feels that he will run out of oil at any time.

"Get on your knees!" The two brocade guards snorted coldly, raised their feet and kicked on Song Chi's knees, kicking him to his knees.

However, Song Chi immediately struggled to stand up again, and said weakly: "This official is from a Jinshi, and he is a dignified four-rank prefect, so there is no need to kneel in front of the Qincha. ”

The two brocade guards couldn't help but be furious, and the prefect who was still holding a fart when he was dying was about to force Song Chi to kneel, but Xu Jin waved his hand indifferently and motioned for them to retreat, and the two had to retreat to the side.

Xu Jin patted the large stack of case files on the case, and said lightly: "Song Chi, this is the result of the investigation of the granaries of the twenty-three counties in the four prefectures of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the deficit of the granaries of the whole mansion has exceeded 200,000 stones, which is almost the grain output of Yanzhou Mansion for two years, not to mention anything else, this article alone is enough to deprive you of your official position and fame, and it is not too much to even kill your head and rob your family." ”

Song Chi opened his mouth to speak, Xu Jin waved his hand and cut off: "Don't be in a hurry to argue, now most of the criminal officials in the counties have confessed their guilt, and they have also confessed to your Song Governor's Mansion, and the human and material evidence is complete." In addition, Tongzhi Zhang Wensheng and commander Zhao Fengchun also frankly admitted that they were involved in the distribution of spoils! ”

Xu Jin didn't deliberately deceive and intimidate, Zhang Wensheng and Zhao Fengchun really couldn't stand the cool type of Jinyiwei, and they had confessed their guilt, but they only admitted that they participated in the theft and sale of official grain, and insisted that they had nothing to do with the matter of digging down the embankment and murdering Qincha.

Xu Jin asked Zhang Wensheng and Zhao Fengchun to bring the confessions of Zhang Wensheng and Zhao Fengchun to Song Chi, and the latter instantly looked dead after reading it, because Zhang Zhao and the others not only pleaded guilty, but also sold him Song Chi, and sold it thoroughly, even confessing how much he had probably taken in stealing official food.

Song Chi was shocked and angry in his heart, he did take a lot of benefits from stealing and selling official food, but the real big head was taken from above, and now he has become the biggest backbiter.

Xu Jin continued: "In addition, Ma Debing, the commander of Shouzhang County, has already confessed that it was you, the Song prefect, who instructed him to send someone to dig up the embankment. For such a serious crime as murdering Qincha, you shouldn't need to be reminded by this official, it is also possible for the emperor to destroy your three clans in anger. ”

Song Chi was depressed, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly.

Xu Jin said lightly: "Be lenient in confession, and strict in resistance." This official advises you to confess your guilt as soon as possible, confess to the main messenger behind the scenes, and strive for a lenient sentence! ”

Song Chi's mind was racing, and he finally gritted his teeth and said: "This official admits to participating in the theft and sale of official grain, but the murder of Qin Cha has nothing to do with this official, it is all Shouzhang County Commander Ma Debing's own opinion. ”

Xu Jin was not surprised by this result, he had long expected that Song Chi would not admit to murdering Qincha, and the reason why he mentioned the "Yi Three Clans" was nothing more than to increase psychological pressure on Song Chi and force him to admit to stealing and selling official grain.

"Prepare pen and ink for the Song Governor's Mansion!" Xu Jin waved his hand.

Immediately, a servant moved a table and stool, put the four treasures of the study, and Song Chi's handcuffs and shackles were also opened, and he began to write a confession in the court.

About half an hour later, Song Chi's confession was written, and Jin Yiwei took the confession and showed it to Xu Jin. Xu Jin took the confession and read it, and his sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning, Song Chi's confession did admit that he participated in the theft and sale of official food, but he did not confess to the people above, but took all the blame himself.

Xu Jin's face turned cold, and he scolded: "Song Chi, you have thought clearly, stealing and selling 200,000 stone official grain, this crime is enough for you to rob your house and kill your head, confess the people above you, or reduce the guilt!" ”

A touch of sarcasm flashed in Song Chi's eyes, and he said lightly: "Stealing and selling official food is the result of the lower officials' temporary desire for profit, who does Lord Xu want the lower officials to confess?" Could it be that you plan to declare a personal vendetta? ”

Jin Biao, Jin Biao of Jinyi Wei Baihu, couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "Fart, Lao Tzu doesn't shed tears when you see the coffin." Lord Xu, this person will be handed over to his subordinates for interrogation for a few more days, and even if he is beaten with iron, he will be guaranteed to let him speak. ”

Song Chi stood up tremblingly, and said with a crazy smile: "Lord Xu, the phenomenon of local officials stealing and selling official grain to enrich their pockets is not only unique to Yanzhou Mansion, but also the entire Shandong Province and even the whole country. Hehe, even if the official gives the people above for someone to come, do you dare to check? Think about the Guo Huan case during the Hongwu period, what happened to the person who handled the case in the end? Hahaha......"

Xu Jin couldn't help but look pale, Guo Huan's case was a shocking case during the Hongwu Dynasty, and he naturally knew about it.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Guo Huan, the head of the household department, was accused of stealing official grain by the imperial officials of the Imperial Procuratorate, because the case implicated Zhao Mao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Huidi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wang Zhi, the head of the Ministry of War, and Mai Zhide, and finally, the two Shangshu and the three Lang servants were all beheaded and abandoned the city, and hundreds of Beijing officials were executed, and 7 million stones were recovered.

The case was not over, and later the confessions of the prisoners involved the political envoys and officials of the provinces, and tens of thousands of people were beheaded one after another, and the implication was so extensive that even the ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang was frightened.

Of course, these landlords and bureaucrats did not dare to scold Zhu Yuanzhang, but all pointed the finger at the Qin Cha who was responsible for handling the case, and finally Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the situation to sentence Wu Yong and others to the case, in order to calm the public anger, it was really a rabbit and a dead dog!

Song Chi is now mentioning the Guo Huan case of the Hongwu Dynasty, obviously warning Xu Jin to stop, otherwise it will be the second Wu Yong.

Song Chi laughed wildly for a while, and suddenly smiled and said: "The official confessed to the theft and sale of official grain, hehe, the murder of Qin Cha is not about this official matter, Lord Xu, here is this, this is enough for you to go back to Beijing and be promoted to two levels, what is not satisfied!" ”

Xu Jin sensed that something was wrong, and Song Chi suddenly took a few steps back, and slammed into the hall pillar next to him at a sharp acceleration.

"Stop ......" Xu Jin just shouted two words, Song Chi had already hit his head on the pillar of the hall, only to hear a muffled sound, Song Chi fell to the ground on the spot and bled all over his face.

Xue Bingxin jumped over several cases with one move, reached out to probe Song Chi's nostrils, looked back at Xu Jin and shook his head and said, "It's out of breath!" ”

Xu Jin Huoran stood up and looked at Song Chi's corpse under the hall with a complicated expression, this guy would rather die than confess Luo Xiang and the others.

"Come on, go and ask Dr. Li immediately!" Xu Jin commanded helplessly.

That night, the news of the suicide of Song Chi, the prefect of Yanzhou, spread in Yuncheng County, and naturally also reached the ears of Luo Xiang, the eunuch of Shandong Town.

Luo Xiang's residence is in the north of the city, not far from the Yuncheng County Ya, nearly 1,000 square meters of front and back three mansions.

At this time, in the hall of the middle courtyard of the house, Luo Gong, who had just listened to his subordinates' reply, laughed happily fairly, all along, he had only been in contact with Song Chi "one-line", so he could sit back and relax as soon as Song Chi died.

Luo Xiang laughed out loud for a while, stood up and went to a certain room in the backyard.

There was a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young woman living in the wing, she looked very standard, and her figure was enchanting and moving, and when she saw Luo Xiang coming, she immediately saluted with trepidation: "The slave family has seen Luo's father-in-law!" ”

Luo Xiang glanced at the sleeping little boy on the bed, and said with a pleasant face: "Xiaoman is asleep?" ”

The young woman nodded timidly.

Luo Xiang sighed and said: "Our family just received the news that the Song Governor couldn't withstand the torture of Jinyiwei and committed suicide by hitting the pillar, you pack up and prepare, and take Xiaoman and our family back to Jinan Mansion tomorrow." ”

The young woman's face turned pale instantly, her eyes showed a look of horror, and she trembled all over, it was I who saw pity, and the big bald head Yan Yang, who was standing behind Luo Xiang, flashed a look of greed in his eyes.

Luo Xiang said in a harmonious voice: "Don't worry, with my father-in-law, I will definitely keep your mother and son safe, and my father-in-law will treat Xiaoman as his own son and train him to grow up and become a talent." ”

It is said that this young woman's name is Ma Rong'er, she is the concubine secretly raised outside by the prefect Song Chi, and the little boy in the bed is five years old, whose nickname is Aman, born to Song Chi and Ma Rong'er. Since Song Chi was arrested, the Song family has also been copied, and all the immediate family members have been imprisoned, while Ma Rong'er and Aman have escaped by luck.

It happened that Luo Xiang knew about the existence of the two, so he sent his subordinates to secretly take the mother and son from Yanzhou to Yuncheng County, which was also the reason why Song Chining would not betray Luo Xiang when he died.

As the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, Song Chi would rather commit suicide by himself, but also keep a bloodline for the Song family. ()
