"Bai Decai, do you know that it is not only your brother and sister-in-law who testify that you went home early in the morning, but also those people you met on the road, do they also want to frame you? How can you get so many people to come against you? ”

Li Yuntian stepped forward, picked up the stack of confessions placed on Fan Ruhai's table, shook Bai Decai, and then fell heavily to the ground, shouting in a deep voice, "With these witnesses, how can you deny it here?" ”

"Big ...... Adult, the villain remembered, the villain did go home early in the morning, but the little one couldn't sleep, so he went to the street and passed by the gold shop......"

Bai Decai didn't expect Li Yuntian to find so many witnesses, and his heart suddenly became empty, when he went home in the morning, he met a lot of people on the road, which made him nervous, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, still quibbling there. Reading artifact

"Shut up! You changed your confession again and again, and you really thought that the official was a three-year-old child? Li Yuntian shouted, interrupting Bai Decai, his eyes flashed coldly, and he glared at him coldly, "Do you know that with those witnesses, this official can convict you of being falsely accused, the framer will sit back, and the crime of the falsely accuser will be increased by one degree, do you want to taste the taste of Ling Chi's execution?" ”

Bai Decai felt that Li Yuntian's two sharp gazes seemed to penetrate his heart, making him can't help but shiver, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Of course, he knew that false accusations had to be reversed, and he falsely accused Zhou Yuting and others of having an affair with the salt lord, so naturally he had to be convicted on this basis, and this crime was undoubtedly the death penalty and should be beheaded.

And Zhou Yuting is the county lord of Yingrui, which makes his behavior have an aggravating link, and he will be subject to capital punishment in the death penalty, and he will be executed by Ling Chi.

Bai Decai wanted to quibble, but under Li Yuntian's powerful momentum, he quickly gave up this idea, and his body trembled slightly, looking very frightened.

"Someone, search him!" Li Yuntian saw Bai Decai frozen there, knowing that he was scared now, he sneered and said in a deep voice.

Li Manshan and the others and the sergeants of Yangzhou Wei did not move, Fan Ruhai knew that they were avoiding suspicion, so he smiled bitterly, and waved his hand at the soldiers of the Yanyu Yamen on the side, and the two soldiers immediately stepped forward to search for Bai Decai's body.

"Tell your lord, there are only a dozen pennies, and nothing else?" Under the gaze of everyone, two soldiers searched Bai Decai's whole body, and one of them held up a dozen copper coins in his hand and said to Fan Ruhai.

"Bai Decai, do you really only have these dozen cents on you?" Seeing this, Li Yuntian shouted at Bai Decai.

When Bai Decai heard this, he subconsciously shrank his feet back and looked at Li Yuntian with a panicked expression. The update is the fastest and most stable

"Search his shoes." A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he opened his mouth to instruct the two soldiers who searched his body, and Bai Decai's face began to turn blue.

"My lord, there is a silver ticket of fifty taels!" The two soldiers pressed Bai Decai, and after taking off his two shoes, they found that a silver ticket was pressed under the insole of one shoe, and after opening it and taking a look, it was quickly placed on the table in front of Fan Ruhai.

"Bai Decai, who gave you this silver ticket, and you are still lucky at this time?" Li Yuntian had already guessed that Bai Decai would have money on his body, which Fang Qing used to buy him, and he would definitely take it with him and go to the gambling house to gamble at night.

"Big ...... Adults, small moves, small moves! Bai Decai came back to his senses, and now that he has obtained all the stolen goods, it is useless for him to deny it, so he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "The little one just went to ** in the evening, and Zhao Liang, the manager of the lifting division of the Yandao Yamen, found the small one, gave the small one fifty taels of silver tickets, and asked the little one to go to the Yandao Yamen to admit that he had reported four women who had an affair with a salt lord in the morning. ”

"Adult, the little one doesn't know that there is a Yingrui county lord among the women he said, Zhao Jing admits to the small one, as long as he does what he says, the small one will be beaten a few boards, and there will be another reward afterwards."

Bai Decai kowtowed to Li Yuntian again and again, "The adult forgives the sin, and the little one is greedy for money for a while, so he did such a foolish thing." ”

Hearing this, the scene was in an uproar, and they all looked at Fang Qing, whose face was like ashes, since Zhao Liang was the inheritor of the lifting division, then he must have nothing to do with him.

Judge Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart couldn't help but be full of gratitude to Li Yuntian, if it weren't for Li Yuntian, he might have died in the torture chamber at this time.

"Bring Zhao Liang up." Seeing that Bai Decai had finally confessed to someone, Li Yuntian sneered and said in a deep voice.

Immediately, several soldiers from the Yamen of the Imperial History of Salt Patrol brought up a sturdy man with a national character face and made him kneel in front of Fan Ruhai.

This big man is Zhao Liang, the inheritor of the Lianghuai Salt Dao Salt Lifting Division, his face was pale at this time, his expression was flustered, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he seemed to be frightened a lot.

"Zhao Jingcheng, this official reminds you that unless you can confirm that what you have done is seamless, once you let this official find out, then you will not be spared!" Li Yuntian glared at Zhao Liang coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Say, why did you want to buy Bai Decai, you don't know that this involves the county lord of Yingrui, do you also want to rebel?" ”

"My lord is Mingjian, the lower officials are just acting on orders." Hearing Li Yuntian say the word "rebellion", Zhao Liang couldn't help but shudder, shattered the last psychological defense line in his heart, and knelt down at Li Yuntian.

"Whose orders are you?" Li Yuntian was very satisfied with Zhao Liang's appearance, and was not stupid enough to resist to the end, and asked quietly.

"Lord Yu, it was Fang Tiju who instructed the lower officials to do this, saying that he was doing a favor to the second prince of Wei, and he gave the lower officials two hundred taels of silver tickets, one hundred taels is the hard work of the lower officials, and the other one hundred taels asked the lower officials to find someone to be the whistleblower, and the lower officials then found Bai Decai." Zhao Liang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice, "Fang Tiju is the boss of the lower officials, and the lower officials dare not disobey him." ”

As soon as Zhao Liang's words fell, Fang Qing, who was standing on the side, could no longer support it, and his body collapsed to the ground, and now that Zhao Liang and Judge Qin had formed cross-accusations against him, he knew that he had no way to deny it.

As for the second son of Wei in Zhao Liang's mouth, he naturally refers to Wei Zhennan, who is the second oldest in the family, so he is called the second son of Wei.

At the same time, Wei Deguang in the crowd finally couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure, and also collapsed, being supported by the salt merchant on the side.

"Li Zhixian, how do you think this case should be handled?" Faced with the situation in front of him, Fan Ruhai smiled bitterly and asked Li Yuntian.

He originally wanted to control the case, but Li Yuntian found out, and now that Li Yuntian has taken the initiative, he has to bow his head and discuss with Li Yuntian.

If Li Yuntian uses this as a breakthrough to track down, the dirty things in the Yandao Yamen will definitely be shaken out, and then the Lianghuai Yandao will be in chaos.

"Lord Salt Patrol, this case is tried by an adult, and it involves something on the salt road, this official is just listening, how to make a decision on Lord Salt Patrol." Li Yuntian felt that Fan Ruhai was a little nervous, so he smiled at him.

Fan Ruhai's eyes flashed with a look of confusion when he heard this, didn't Li Yuntian have the heart to investigate further?

He guessed correctly, Li Yuntian really didn't plan to investigate further, and then left the Yandao Yamen, if he looked deeper, then the messy things between the Yandao Yamen and the salt merchants would definitely be dug up by Li Yuntian, and then the matter would be a big problem.

However, Li Yuntian will not let go of this case so lightly, at least to seek justice for Zhou Yuting, Lu Cao, Chen Ningning, and Zheng Wanrou.

Therefore, before leaving, Li Yuntian asked people to copy a copy of the confessions of all the people involved in the case, sign and draw on them, and stamp the seal of the Imperial History Yamen of the Salt Patrol and take them away.

His meaning is obvious, if Fan Ruhai and Shi Chengan don't give him a satisfactory explanation, then he will definitely not give up, and those confessions are his killer features.

When Li Yuntian left the Yandao Yamen Prison, Fan Ruhai and Shi Chengan led people to the door, and now the two of them can be said to have a request for Li Yuntian, plus Zhou Yuting has the respect of the county lord of Yingrui, so it is understandable to do so.

"Master Fan, what do you mean by that?" Looking at the carriage in the distance, Shi Chengan frowned and looked at Fan Ruhai, he didn't understand why Li Yuntian had made so much effort to investigate the correspondence between Fang Qing and Wei Zhennan.

"Maybe he's just trying to get justice." Fan Ruhai smiled bitterly and shook his head, no matter what, this is a good thing, and then it depends on how to satisfy Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting.

After returning to Zhao's house, the first thing Zhou Yuting, Lu Cao, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou did was to bathe and change clothes, they spent a day in the prison, and their bodies were inevitably stained with some peculiar smells.

Li Yuntian and Zheng Boxin were chatting in the study, it seemed that he would not be able to leave tomorrow, and he would have to stay in Yangzhou until the matter of Yandao Yamen was resolved.

After experiencing the events of the night, Zheng Boxin finally saw the power of his brother-in-law, not only facing the two Huai Patrol Salt Imperial History and the two Huai Salt Road Transfer, so that the two "feudal officials" on the salt road were at ease, but also step by step, found out the truth that Zhou Yuting and others were imprisoned in the Yandao Yamen Prison, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

If it weren't for Li Yuntian, Zheng Boxin wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Fan Ruhai and Shi Chengan at all, and the difference in identity between the two sides was too great.

Just when the two were talking and laughing, Zhou Yuting pushed the door and walked in, her somewhat wet hair was scattered on her back, and the whole person was like a hibiscus out of water, and the whole person looked extremely fresh.

Zheng Boxin hurriedly got up and saluted Zhou Yuting, he only learned today that Zhou Yuting actually had the title of Yingrui County Lord, and it seemed that the Marquis of Zhongyong was deeply valued by Emperor Yongle.

"Why don't you check Fang Qing and Wei Zhennan, they must have colluded." After taking a seat, Zhou Yuting looked at Li Yuntian with some unwillingness, even she could see that there was a cat between the Yandao Yamen and the salt merchants, otherwise how could Fang Qing work so hard to help Wei Zhennan.

"The Lianghuai salt tax is the most important tax in the Ming Dynasty, and those salt merchants have donated millions of silver in recent years to serve as the military expenses of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty of the Holy Shangbei's expedition, and the salt road involves many interests, and the water in it is very deep, not something you and I can provoke lightly."

Li Yuntian knew that Zhou Yuting was angry about being arrested and put in the Yandao Yamen prison, so he said with a smile, "Don't worry, now that they have the handle in our hands, they will definitely let you out this evil breath." ”

"Anyway, you're smarter than me, and you can do whatever you say." Zhou Yuting didn't expect that there were so many entanglements of interests in the Lianghuai Salt Road, and after flashing her long eyelashes, she said helplessly, after leaving home this time, she suddenly found that the outside world seemed to be much more complicated.
