The prison in Kaifeng Mansion should be the detention center that Xu Ping said in his previous life, and it is a detention center for suspects who have not yet been convicted. There are several trial institutions in the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info Mansion, and naturally there are several prisons.

Although most of the functions of the state capital, the state court and the administrator's court of the civil affairs system, and the embassy of the jiedu system overlap, the prisons have their own prisons. Each prison has its own administrator, which is independent of each other

Kaifeng Mansion is different from other state capitals, and the left and right officials jointly govern affairs, and the left and right patrol courts are naturally under the control of the officials.

Wu Zun Lu went out of the imperial city, and walked a short distance along the royal street to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.

At this time, it was already late, and the gate of the yamen was closed, leaving only the small door on the side for the people in the yamen to enter and exit.

Seeing Wu Zunlu, the soldiers guarding the door hurriedly saluted.

After entering the yamen, Wu Zun went straight to the left and right official halls and asked the official on duty: "Is the Ming official available?" ”

"Ming Tuiguan has just left the yamen, and he can still be recovered at this time. If Shangguan has something important, he will send someone to chase it back. ”

Wu Zunlu waved his hand: "No need, I'll just come back and take a look." ”

After entering the official hall and flipping through today's official documents, Wu Zunlu found a public official to come over and asked about today's trial of Cui Youde. Although the prefect Cheng Lin repeatedly urged and the official Ming Ho did his best, he still failed to pry Cui Youde's guilt away. In the evening, in desperation, Cui Youde had to be put in the prison of the Left Patrol Hospital.

Wu Zunlu shook his head secretly, Ming Ho's luck has really come home recently. He was on duty when the public officials made trouble, and he was on duty again for the trial of Cui Youde's case this time, if the third division finally tried this case, Ming Ho didn't know what punishment he would receive. Ming Ho was first known to Xue Kui, and later appreciated him by Cheng Lin, now Xue Kui is old and sick, and Cheng Lin is his direct boss, I don't know who else can protect him.

It was dark, and the yamen gradually became quiet, without the noise of the day.

Wu Zunlu walked out of the official hall and let a public official lead the way to the prison of the Left Patrol Yuan, where Cui Youde was held.

After opening the prison door, Wu Zunlu entered the cell and asked the public officials to wait outside.

Cui Youde, who was disheveled, shrank in the corner of the cell, looking at Wu Zunlu with a pair of gloomy eyes, and did not speak, like a beast that would burst out and hurt people at any time.

As a magistrate, Wu Zunlu has tried many cases, and this kind of scene has long been commonplace. didn't care about Cui Youde's appearance, dusted off the stool that the official moved in, and sat down calmly.

There was no moonlight tonight, and the windows of the prison were extremely small, and the room was gloomy. A soybean-sized lamp flickered, accompanied by a torch inserted outside the door, outlining an eerie atmosphere.

Facing Cui Youde, Wu Zunlu said lightly: "Your case has already been committed, do you know?" ”

Cui Youde sneered: "Today, the Ming Tui official has exhausted all his means on me, and it is not in vain. Why did Wu Tuiguan come at night, not beating or scolding, but changed it to intimidation? I have not broken the law, and I am not afraid of you before the Holy One! ”

After the trial is completed, the procurator will also check the applicable law, and the sentencing officer will punish the crime according to the law that has been prosecuted. In this process, the criminal can retract his confession at any time, and he cannot be convicted only by confession. If it is in an ordinary state capital, if the governor is strong enough, he can also force the general sentence and a group of subordinate officials to convict on the basis of confessions. The big case in Kaifeng Mansion was retried by Dali Temple and the Criminal Court, and the trial officials were uncomfortable with themselves. What's more, if Cui Youde is convicted, it is very likely that he will be sentenced to death, and it is very likely that the emperor will personally ask again, and at that time, if the case is turned over, the future of the trial officials may be ruined. Therefore, the trial officials of Kaifeng Prefecture are extremely cautious about the use of punishment for serious cases.

Cui Youde also ate this to death, as long as there is no clear evidence, he is not afraid of torture at all.

Wu Zunlu looked at Cui Youde, who was fearless, and smiled: "Intimidation? You're really thinking too highly of yourself. You have found out all the references that you have falsified, which one can you conceal? ”

Cui Youde snorted coldly, turned his head, and didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Zunlu.

Wu Zunlu was not annoyed, took out the Danzhou transfer from his arms, held it in his hand and said: "This is the exchange quotation copied from the Rong goods in the afternoon, that is, you put it away and said that Jinzhou Jinshi got one of the fake references to the Rong goods." It's really ridiculous to say, this delivery is from Danzhou, but we have checked the official documents, and this batch of transactions from Danzhou has not been issued at all, and there are official documents to the goods. A Shaanxi Road intersection that has never appeared on the market can be received by the Jinzhou Jinshi on Hedong Road, and it can also be detected by you as fake. Cui Youde, do you say anyone believes you? ”

Hearing this, Cui Youde's face was like ashes.

At that time, when he was making a fake crossing, the monogram on a Danzhou crossover was just out of hand, and the official who painted the painting was transferred to him after only serving in Danzhou for a short time, so he replaced this one. At that time, I only felt that there would be no flaws, and it was impossible to check from the goods to the bottom account of the transfer of the guarantee at that time. Besides, Jinju Jinshi is now dead, and there is no proof of his death, and the clues to the investigation have long been broken. Where can I think of dying or not dying, what I made happened to be a cross-reference that was not officially released.

"If you do evil, you will be rewarded, if you don't believe it, look up, who will the heavens forgive!" Wu Zunlu's tone was flat, "Cui Youde, just with this cross-reference, your crime is ironclad!" What is the use of not confessing sin and being cunning? The yamen of Kaifeng Mansion will not torture you again, only report this case, where is your life? Now that the first Jinshi outside is violent, not letting your head fall to the ground, how to calm this leisurely crowd! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zunlu let out a sigh of relief: "You are dead!" ”

As a veteran for many years, Cui Youde knew that Wu Zunlu was not lying to scare him this time. The methods of the petty officials are all over the sky, and it is not appropriate to use the official seals of the chiefs at all. Not to mention a small cargo business, Cai Jing, the prime minister in history, can be regarded as a ruthless person, every day when he goes to the yamen, he first weighs the box with the official seal with a scale, and if the weight is wrong, it will not be opened. One day, after weighing, the official seal box was extremely light, and Cai Jing pretended that nothing had happened, and he didn't use the official seal for one day, and the next day he weighed it right. When others asked, Cai Jing made it clear that it must be one of his subordinates who took the prime minister's seal to use, and if he opened the box and found that the official seal was lost, he might never be able to find the prime minister's seal, and he would also be affected.

As the principal, Cui Youde can do all the official seals of the goods service in one go, which cannot be relied on by others. And there is only one person who has the ability and motivation to do this, Cui Youde, and he is also identified in Jinju Jinshi's suicide note.

Wu Zunlu is really right, this time Cui Youde is dead.

Seeing that Cui Youde no longer had the arrogance just now, and he didn't have the ruthlessness just now, Wu Zunlu said: "Say, why did you do this?" That Jinju Jinshi doesn't know you, and he has no grudges or hatreds, why do you want to hurt him? Not to mention that it is for money, as a principal of the goods business, you don't have to take such a big risk to be greedy for money, and you can't get money if these transactions are abolished, there must be other reasons. ”

"Why should I say that?" Cui Youde's eyes flickered, and his voice became hoarse.

Wu Zunlu's tone was calm: "You can keep your home." As long as you cooperate with me honestly, you will inevitably be guilty of capital crimes, but your wife and children at home can be saved. Otherwise, all your family property will be confiscated from the official, and you know what will happen to your wife and children. ”

Woe to his wife and children, this era is not prosperous, not to mention such a case, and later the king of Beizhou rebelled and only sent his family out. But in Kaifeng City, the prices are expensive, all the family property has been confiscated, and the penniless young wives and young daughters are left to see how far they will fall.

Cui Youde closed his eyes, was silent for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was also entrusted by others, and I was blinded for a while, so I made a big mistake today." ”

It turned out that Cui Youde had a good brother who was a public servant in Jinju, and he fell in love with the wife of the Luodi Jinshi who sold the money, and wanted to rob him of his family property, so he wrote to Cui Youde to do this. The two places joined forces, coupled with the fact that they were familiar with the rules of the public gate, and they ate the jinshi to death.

This kind of thing that makes other people's families ruined, in the eyes of officials like Cui Youde, is nothing more than bothering to make a few pieces of waste paper and spending some effort. As for the consequences, they have long been accustomed to not caring whether others live or die.

Wu Zunlu sighed when he heard this: "You still helped others plot against your beloved's wife, but today, it is someone else who plots against your wife." It's really a retribution, and the retribution is not happy! ”

"What do you mean?!" Cui Youde looked up at Wu Zunlu suddenly, his eyes shining frighteningly.

Wu Zunlu said: "Do you have a good public servant named Song Xiaoyi?" ”

"Yes, isn't that beast having bad intentions?"

Under the light, Cui Youde's eyes were like torches, and his eyes and teeth were white, like a beast that wanted to choose people and devour.

Wu Zunlu ignored him, and his tone was still flat: "I don't know if it's a bad intention, today we sent someone to your house to check, and I just happened to see him doing something to your wife in front of your house." You didn't get rid of him, but you didn't drive him away either, who knows what you're thinking? Alas, speaking of your three or four-year-old daughter right next to you, it's really exciting—"

Speaking of this, Wu Zunlu shook his head again and again.

"This animal, I said that he would help me take care of my wife and daughter when I had an accident, but where did I think that it was to send mutton to the wolf's mouth!"

Cui Youde couldn't support it anymore, hugged his head, and his body shrunk into a ball.

Things are still not clear? Originally, Cui Youde was convicted of taking care of him because of the public officials' troubles, but now he is guilty of a capital crime, and there are so many people around the drum courtyard to discuss the law, and many people think that he is dead. That Song Xiaoyi probably thinks about this usually, but now that he has the opportunity, where can he bear it?

After a long time, Cui Youde raised his head and looked at Wu Zunlu with blazing eyes: "What do you want me to do?" If I can keep my wife and daughter and let Song Xiaoyi's animal be punished, I will promise anything! ”

Wu Zunlu said slowly: "What is the matter with the public officials colliding with the prime minister and the imperial history mansion? Who instructed it, and how many people were involved, you can tell everything. Just make it clear and keep your wife and daughter safe! ”

"You little pusher, how can I trust you?"

Wu Zunlu said: "Marquis of Yongning County, Xu Pingtuo, the deputy envoy of the third division of salt and iron, asked me to ask you something." As long as you make it clear, all your family property will be left to your wife and daughter, and if you are not at ease, you can also enter the school library and give your daughter a dowry in the future. As long as you explain things clearly and point people out, the marquis will keep your wife and daughter safe! (To be continued.) )
