Chapter 817 Pit Daddy (Medium)

When Meng Chong shouted this, Hai Rui and the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly covered it up.

"Bring him back!" Hai Rui ordered.

Jin Yiwei was very obedient and only brought Meng Chong back.

"What are you hiring?" Looking at Meng Chong, who was kneeling there, Hai Rui asked in a deep voice.

"You can recruit anything." Meng Chong wanted to wipe his sweat, but this 'tiger and wolf set' was too yin, and his hands couldn't touch his face at all, so he simply sat on his lap and said, "I'm afraid you won't dare to listen." ”

"If you dare to say it, I will dare to remember." Yang Yushu said coldly: "But don't involve the palace or the emperor, otherwise I will fork you out immediately." ”

"Done." Meng Chong nodded and said, "You ask, I'm sure I'll tell the truth." "I muttered secretly in my heart: 'If you don't ask me, I will say, our family doesn't want to die unexplained because of this secret in the stomach.'

"Whether it's the truth or not, we know." Hai Rui's gaze crossed him, looked at the wall skin that was about to fall in the corner of the house, and said, "Let me ask you, what are you trying to torture Hu Zongxian privately?" ”

"It's just a matter of being entrusted by someone." Meng Chong said in a depressed manner: "I thought it was a trivial matter, who would have thought that it would fall into such a field...... after a pause, and then began to shirk the responsibility and said: "But I only know about this matter, the affairs of the East Factory are not under my control, and Teng Xiang is making trouble again." "He is indeed depressed enough, for the lawless people in the East Factory, killing people and selling goods is a common thing, not to mention just loosening the bones of a sinner.

"Whom?" Hai Rui asked.

"......" Meng Chong hesitated a little, "Are you sure you want to know?" ”

"Less nonsense!" Yang Yushu shouted.

"Okay, let me tell you," Meng Chong said: "It's Teng Xiang's old fellow, Li Chunfang, the second assistant of the dynasty!" After saying this, he looked forward to the wonderful expressions on the faces of the two officials, but only saw the calm faces of the two of them, and couldn't help but say a little surprised: "It turns out that I already knew." ”

"......" was silent for a moment, and Hai Rui said to Yang Yushu: "Don't be in a hurry to remember, so as not to be used by him." ”

"This kind of meaningless confession," Yang Yushu nodded and said, "It can not be recorded." ”

"Don't mind......" Meng Chong was anxious, and said continuously: "How did I know that you already knew, and I thought you didn't know!" ”

"Let's talk about something fresh." Hai Rui looked at it again: "You said that the torture of Hu Zongxian was instigated by Li Chunfang, what evidence do you have?"

Meng Chong shook his head and said, "There is no evidence. If you want evidence, you can ask Grandpa Teng. ”

"Don't remember." Hai Rui said to Yang Yushu again.

Meng Chong was almost driven crazy, and wailed: "I don't know what you don't know, isn't this embarrassing!" ”

"No one wants to be difficult for you," Hai Rui snorted: "You said you wanted to recruit, but now you can't recruit anything valuable, is it because you can't trick us?" ”

Meng Chong gritted his teeth and thought about it again, so he had to play the last card and said: "Although I don't know how they planned, I know some things that can prove their previous relationship." ”

"Say." Hai Rui glanced at Yang Yushu quietly, and the latter lifted his pen with a slightly excited expression.

"Teng Xiang's mouth is very tight, and I don't know much." Meng Chong poured cold water first and then broke the news: "But after all, we get along day and night, and some things still can't be hidden from me." ”

"Less nonsense!" Hai Rui couldn't help but shoot the case.

"In the spring of this year, when Gao Ge Lao was still there, he didn't know what was crazy, and he actually led people to uproot all the business we opened, and our goods were all seized, and we lost all our money." Thinking of those unbearable days, Meng Chong still said with great pain: "Is it easy for us to divide the money?" Isn't it a little bit of saving, a little bit of earning? ”

"Get to the point!" Hai Rui's forehead was bruised.

"Good...... When Elder Gao was finally gone, we decided to start the business again. Meng Chong hurriedly said: "But I just lost all my family money, and I still owe a lot of money to the inner treasury, although we are Da Jue, we also have to pay it back, otherwise there will be a sample below, and we will not be able to empty the internal treasury." ”

Hai Rui was helpless, so he could only say to Yang Yushu: "Pick up the key points." ”

"If you want to repay the money, you have to reopen the imperial store and earn money before you can repay the money. But it takes a lot of money to open a store, and you can't borrow it. Meng Chong still babbled to himself: "Later, I thought about it, isn't it now that the private capital is taking out loans?" It is said that those who do business do not need their own money, but rely on loans from Sunrise, and when they earn money, they will repay the loans. So I asked the housekeeper to come forward, and in the name of the two of us, I borrowed money from Sun Shenglong three times, one hundred thousand, two eighty thousand, a total of two hundred and eighty thousand ......."

Yang Yushu wrote down what he said, and his face turned black after writing, but fortunately, there was a way to remedy it...... He put a hat on the last 'eight' and changed it to the word 'six'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Who knows that when people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, but I didn't expect that the predecessors would open and make money in the imperial store business, and it would be many disasters and difficulties when they came to us." Meng Chong said depressedly: "In August, the inner court and the Yanguan had a big quarrel, we beat their people, they sealed our shop again, and all the goods were confiscated, this time it was really ......" Speaking of the sad part, Eunuch Meng said with tears in his eyes: "I won't tell you, we let the creditor force it, and we have the heart to hang ourselves." ”

"Nonsense," Yang Yushu said in disbelief: "You two big eunuchs, can you still be afraid of businessmen?" ”

"Oh, that's Sunrise." Meng Chong said with an expression of your real turtle: "The business of the Shanxi Gang, don't talk about us, even the emperor can't rely on the account......"

"Later." Lord Yang suddenly realized that he was also taken away by him, so he hurriedly coughed dryly and returned to the topic.

"Just when we were desperate, it was Li Ge who sent charcoal in the snow and helped us repay the Sunrise Long Debt." Meng Chong's mouth was soothing this time: "You think, such a big affection, can we pay it back?" So Li Chunfang said that when we needed help, we agreed without even thinking about it. ”

This is a very valuable clue, Hai Rui silently waited for Yang Yushu to finish remembering, and then continued: "If you want evidence, what's the use of not having evidence?" ”

"There's really no ...... about this" Meng Chong thought for a long time, then lowered his head helplessly.

"Have you done so much and left nothing?" Hai Jui didn't believe it.

"It's really good!" Meng Chong thought about it again, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Teng Xiang never came forward for this kind of thing, so he handed me Li Ge Lao's silver ticket and asked me to go to Rishenglong to repay the money." I've never seen so many silver tickets in my life, a box full of new tickets of fifteen hundred and twenty-one tickets, which can make people hungry to death......"

"How many did you steal?" Yang Yushu asked.

"How is that possible?" Meng Chong looked at him like an idiot and said, "I didn't give me more than one or two pieces of silver, how can I pluck the goose." Said smugly: "But I used my scattered and worn silver tickets to exchange some for them, and they haven't spent them at home." ”

"How many? Where to hide? Hai Rui glanced at Lu Lun, who nodded imperceptibly.

Meng Chong just wanted to say less, but when he asked the location, he had to tell the truth: "Ninety-six ......"

"Forty-eight thousand taels." Afraid that he would miscalculate again, Yang Yushu prompted first.

"I don't know my own money yet?" Kind-hearted but treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, Meng Chong said with a painful face: "There is a toilet in my study that has never been used, and the toilet has a mezzanine, and all the money is hidden in it." ”

Lu Lun nodded to his subordinate, who walked out quietly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although Meng Chong spoke at length, he finally provided useful clues. Hai Rui and Yang Yushu glanced at each other, and they both saw the same meaning from each other: 'Forty-eight thousand taels, enough to convict Li Chunfang!' Li Chunfang is a first-class official, and he can earn 240 taels of silver a year by converting the money and rice in his salary into silver, and he needs to spend 200 years without eating or drinking a penny to save this huge amount of money. Obviously, this money is coming from the wrong way!

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything of value anymore, Hai Rui ordered someone to draw a charge for Meng Chong and escort him out, and then Teng Xiang, who had been listening outside the door for a long time, was escorted in.

The belt on Teng Xiang's mouth was still firm, and as soon as the brocade guard untied it, he moved his chin and sneered at the master: "What a good strategy!" First find someone to pretend to be Liu Laosan's relative, and then lock us up next door and listen to you play a double reed. In the end, he deliberately pushed me out first, and specifically targeted the idiot of Chef Meng! What a human being who is unseemly! ”

"What else do you have to say?" Now, everything he said was in vain, Yang Yushu said lightly: "If you don't have it, you will really retire." ”

"You won, and I won't be wronged." Teng Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "But I will never betray Li Ge Lao, but I can tell you that Li Ge's hometown is Qinghua, and he is an honest official, and he will never be able to take out this silver." ”

"Who gave it to him?" Hai Rui asked in a deep voice.

Teng Xiang pouted and said, "Who else can there be besides the cabinet?" ”

"Who's in the cabinet?!" Hai Rui raised his voice.

"I don't know the specifics," Teng Xiangcai didn't eat this set, and sneered: "You won't check it yourself?" ”

"We'll find out." Hai Rui looked at him with electric eyes and said, "Grandpa Teng, I will now summarize your confession just now, and you can hear it clearly." You said that the torture of Hu Zongxian was instructed by someone, and combined with Meng Chong's confession, the reason why you did this was because you accepted a large amount of huge bribes from that person. Meng Chong said that the man was Li Chunfang, but you said that he was a poor official and didn't have that much money at all. You also say that the money is actually from another person in the cabinet, and ask you who the other person is, and you say that you don't know. Actually, you know it! Hai Rui said in an accentuated tone: "Li Chunfang is the second assistant of the cabinet, and he can come forward to do this kind of thing, except for the emperor in this world, only Xu Ge is old." The emperor must be impossible, so the person in the cabinet you are talking about is Xu Jie, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, right! After speaking, he said to Yang Yushu: "Have you written down all my words?" Yang Yushu nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"Slowly...... Don't remember, don't remember. Teng Xiang's eyes widened and said, "I... I didn't say that......"

At this time, a brocade guard hurriedly walked in and whispered in Lu Lun's ear, and Lu Lun made a gesture of touching his lips and whiskers towards Hai Rui.

Hai Rui stood up, slapped the wood and said, "I'll ask you one last time, who is that person!"

Teng Xiang saw everything in his eyes, his face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Want to know? might as well tell you that Feng Bao arrived with the edict. Hai Rui seemed to hear the footsteps outside, so he could only make one last effort and say: "I want to stop the interrogation and escort you back to the palace immediately." ”

Teng Xiang's face froze, and he almost vomited blood, if he had heard this news half an hour ago, he would have been overjoyed, but now...... Under the deception of himself and Meng Chong by this Hai Rui, everything that should be said and what should not be said has already been said. Then this edict is the talisman of Lord Yama.

"Feng Bao is here, and the interrogation is about to end." Hai Rui still thought he was not messy enough, and added to his blockage: "But you still have to draw!" ”

"Draw a charge!" Lu Lun gave an order, and Jin Yiwei brought the confession to Teng Xiang.

Under this wave of pressure, Teng Xiang finally couldn't stand it, and said repeatedly: "I have a secret report!" ”

"Let's all go down first." As soon as Hai Rui waved his hand, the people below persuaded him to retreat, and only Teng Xiang and the three interrogators were left in the interrogation room.

Lu Lun suddenly smiled and said, "You guys hurry up and ask, I'll go and block Feng Bao." Witnessing this thrilling political struggle for days, the stunned youth of the past has also matured rapidly.

Hai Rui and Yang Yushu glanced at each other, nodded and said, "It's hard work." ”

Lu Lun nodded, walked out and closed the door.

There was really a commotion outside the arraignment room, but the three people inside turned a deaf ear.

Hai Rui is asking questions calmly and clearly, Teng Xiang is answering in an orderly manner, and Yang Yushu is recording quickly......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't know what the hell I ate yesterday, Feng Bao pulled his stomach all night, and he really couldn't get up in the morning. I had to take a leave of absence, think about it for a morning, and then go to Dali Temple to hear the trial...... Although he had little confidence in Meng Chong, he knew that Teng Xiang was a difficult bone to gnaw, and since the time in the morning was limited, it was still two to say whether the trial could be held, so he was not too worried.

So I took the medicine with peace of mind and lay down in the house. By noon, I had regained some strength. Before he could stand firm on the ground, he heard a message from the little eunuch, saying that the emperor had an edict for him to convey.

At first, he was still lamenting that he was working hard, but it was not until he received the will that Feng Bao understood that this matter was not trivial, and he could not delay it for a moment. But the legs were really weak, so I had to let people carry them out of the Forbidden City, and then sat in the sedan chair, and said weakly: "Go to Dali Temple......

The big yamen are all close to the palace, and they will be there in a hurry. Feng Bao got down from the sedan chair and saw the brocade guards guarding the layers of guards, so he stepped forward and said sharply: "There is an edict, flash away!" The big red python robe on his body, and the pure gold whisk in his hand, all showed his identity as an angel, and he entered Dali Temple smoothly, and went all the way to the lobby unimpeded, but saw that there was no one.

Feng Bao was dizzy for a while, and then he remembered to grab a scribe and ask, "What about your family?" ”

"In the arraignment room."

"Lead the way!"

The little episode passed, and finally came to the interrogation room where the courtyard was located, and he was just about to go in, when he saw a tall young man come out, and said with a concerned face: "Gonggong Feng, what's wrong with you?" The little face is pale and pale, and there is so much sweat? ”——

Segmentation –

Didn't brag, did you? It is said that it takes 21 consecutive days to develop a good habit, and this is the next day, so in order for me to continue to maintain it, let's go violently!

Well, I'll admit, it's the recent good rankings, which stimulates me...... The emotional Xiao Langjun hid his face and left...... ro！ ~！
