Chapter 999: Progress
Since Chen Changqing said it so neatly, Zhang Zhijie did not torture him, but escorted him back to the cell.
Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "It seems that Xia Chen has to be invited to Jinyiwei." β
Zhang Yong smiled and said: "That's natural, it's just Xia Chen, not Xia Ru, and the little marquis doesn't need to ask the emperor!" We'll tell the emperor when we go back! β
Since Qingyang Bofu has been involved in the case, he was naturally arrested, Zhang Zhijie didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile: "And that Taifu Temple Master Bo Wangyuan, and Gonggong Zhang will also come together, right?" β
That Chen Changqing is a subordinate of Qingyang Bofu, and it is related to Qingyang Bofu, so Zhang Yongcai is very concerned. But this Wang Yuan is just a little-known petty official, Zhang Yong is not very interested, mainly because Emperor Zhengde is still waiting anxiously.
But Zhang Yong hesitated again, because this interrogation was too smooth, so it didn't seem to be bad for this time, in case something exciting came out of this petty official of the Taifu Temple!
So Zhang Yong hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "It's okay!" β
"Go and bring Wang Yuan for interrogation!" Zhang Zhijie commanded in a deep voice.
Soon Wang Yuan was escorted in, this is a dark and thin middle-aged man, not tall, he doesn't look good, and his face has not changed after entering the torture room.
Zhang Zhijie couldn't help frowning, this person looked very silent, not like a person who would speak easily.
Wang Yuan allowed Jinyiwei to tie him up, and did not struggle, although he knew in his heart that he would be tortured next, and seemed to understand that the struggle was only in vain.
Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "You are Bo Wangyuan, the master of Taifu Temple?" β
Wang Yuan stared at the dark red blood on the ground expressionlessly, and there was no reaction at all. As if he hadn't heard Zhang Zhijie's question.
Zhang Zhijie frowned slightly and continued: "Is the note on the street from your handwriting?" β
Wang Yuan was still expressionless, didn't even move, and didn't have any intention of speaking.
Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "Are you from Fujian? What is your relationship with the collapsed Xia family in Fujian? β
Wang Yuan is still the same. Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said with a smile: "It's a stuffy gourd, but I don't know if the bones are hard or not!" Torture! β
When the tortured Qianhu heard this, he immediately pulled out the red-hot soldering iron and stabbed Wang Yuan's body, and the sound of stabbing made Zhang Yong shiver, but Wang Yuan, who had been tortured, only frowned, gritted his teeth, and didn't say a word.
After going down again and again, Wang Yuan seemed to be not flesh and blood, but made of stone, not to mention screaming, without saying a word.
Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but praise: "What a hard bone!" β
Zhang Yong was very shocked in his heart, he felt unbearable just by looking at such torture, this person didn't even say a word, I really can't imagine it! This Wang Yuan and Chen Changqing just now are simply two stark contrasts.
Since he couldn't be interrogated for a while, Zhang Yong didn't plan to wait any longer. Zhang Yong said with a smile: "It's really a hard bone, little marquis, the emperor is still waiting in a hurry, our family won't wait!" β
Zhang Zhijie smiled: "It's okay, you can't let the emperor wait for a long time!" β
Zhang Yong smiled when he heard this: "Little Marquis, then, Xia Chenγγγγγγ β
Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Let them grind here, and this governor will go to the Xia family again!" β
Zhang Yong listened to it and said: "Then our family will leave, and we are waiting for the good news of the little marquis!" So he hurried away.
This interrogation also really delayed a lot of time, and when Zhang Yong came out of Jinyiwei, a little eunuch came galloping on horseback, but it was Emperor Zhengde who saw that Zhang Yong had not returned for a long time, and his mood was even more urgent, so he sent the little eunuch to take a look.
Zhang Yong didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately got on his horse and galloped back to the leopard room. Panting all the way back to the leopard room, Emperor Zhengde said urgently: "Why did you go for so long to come back?" Has there been any progress on the case? β
Zhang Yong immediately pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, the old slave arrived at Jinyiwei just as the little marquis was at the critical time of interrogation, so the old slave stayed there and listened, delayed the time, and asked the emperor to forgive the sin!" β
Emperor Zhengde was overjoyed when he heard this, and he attached great importance to the case that happened this time, because it was really related to the stability of his heirs.
Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said, "It's okay! So there has been progress in this case? Come and hear it! β
Zhang Yong hurriedly replied: "Yes, the emperor, there has been important progress in this case. Jin Yiwei investigated the workshop that made molds in the capital, and found the person who imitated the mold of Houfu osmanthus cake according to the map. β
Emperor Zhengde's face was greatly excited when he heard this, and he said urgently: "Who is that person?" β
Zhang Yong said in a deep voice: "That person is a subordinate of Qingyang Bofu, named Chen Changqing!" β
Emperor Zhengde stared at him when he heard this, and said slowly: "Qingyang Bofu!" Is it really Qingyang Bofu?! What did the interrogation come out of? β
Zhang Yong listened to it and replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the trial is out, then Chen Changqing was frightened when he was brought to Jinyiwei, and he didn't wait for the torture to be recruited!" β
"According to Chen Changqing, it was Xia Chen, the brother of the queen mother, who instructed him to make the mold, and he also confessed that the reason why Xia Chen made the mold was to make osmanthus cake, and what he made was osmanthus cake mixed with safflower!"
Emperor Zhengde said with a gloomy face when he heard this: "Osmanthus cake mixed with saffron? It turned out that Xia Chen asked him to do it? What else? How did those osmanthus cakes get to the palace? Who else is involved? β
Zhang Yong replied: "Your Majesty, that Chen Changqing knows this, he still thinks that those osmanthus cakes mixed with saffron are eaten by Xia Chen himself, and he doesn't know anything else!" β
Hearing this, Emperor Zhengde has already determined in his heart that it must have something to do with the queen and Qingyang Bofu!
Emperor Zhengde sneered: "Good, good! I canonized the daughters of the Xia family as queens and gave them glory and wealth, and they even wanted to murder my heirs, what a daring thing! β
"What about Zhijie? Did you go and arrest Xia Chen? Since Xia Chen is involved in the case, he doesn't have to care about the queen's brother! Tortured, you must let him confide cleanly! β
Zhang Yong listened and replied: "The emperor can rest assured, the little marquis should take Jinyiwei to Qingyang Bofu to get people!" I just don't know if Uncle Qingyang will let people go! β
Emperor Zhengde snorted coldly when he heard this: "Who dares not to let go?" It's against him! Let people pass on the decree to Zhijie, no matter who is involved outside the palace in this case, they will all be taken and sent to Jinyiwei Prison, and there is no need to ask for a decree! β
Zhang Yong hurriedly arranged for the little eunuch next to him to pass on the decree, and then continued: "Your Majesty, not only has the osmanthus cake made progress, but the person who spread the note has also been found by Jinyiwei!" β
