Chapter 571: Defection
In later generations, there were chengguan fishing law enforcement, and in this world, there are discipline governors fishing to collect evidence.
The reason why Ji Gang wanted to ask Chen Zhou to come forward to buy the exam questions, instead of directly using Jinyiwei's people to go fishing, was because Ji Yan was also very careful when he was in his hands, and the exam questions in his hand were not sold if he had money, but to select buyers, and only those who also wanted to participate in the examination of the current science and technology could do it. It makes sense for Ji Yan to do this, because these people bought the exam questions for the Jinshi, and if others knew that they bought the exam questions, even if they were admitted to the Jinshi, they would be looked down upon, and there would be lifelong troubles. Even if it's a friend who won't leak the news, it's also a competitor, and one more person knows about it, so the one more person who really wants to participate in the exam will not reveal it to anyone after getting the exam questions.
However, the road is one foot high and the magic is one foot high, Ji Gang actually found a real person to set the question, and Chen Zhou and Ji Yan also had a few sides before, although they didn't have much friendship, but at least they were familiar with each other. In addition, Hu Chong was too careful about Ji Yan and complained that he didn't make money if he had money. Ji Yan had no choice but to relax the review and sell the exam questions to Chen Zhou, who was not too familiar, and the result was successful......
Liang Qian didn't know anything about these things before, but in the past few days, someone has been secretly passing news for him, and he finally understood who cheated him. Master Liang couldn't wait to peel off the skin of Hu Chong's little bastard, but at this moment, he naturally had to pretend that he didn't know anything, and could only watch Ji Gang turn over the clouds there.
"Lord Wu, please see, this is Chen Zhou's confession." Zhuang Jing took out another confession and asked people to forward it to Wu Zhongdao: "The time and place of the transaction have been explained clearly. As for that Ji Yan, he was directly imprisoned from the Gongyuan, but because Wang Xian led people to make trouble at that time, Ji Gang's subordinates only had time to interrogate Hu Chong, and they didn't take care of him, and then the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate took over the case and detained him in the prison of the Criminal Department. But it's not a big deal, because in such the highest Dharma hall in the country, even if you are bold for a long time, you will be scared half a day first. At that time, as long as Chen Zhou is confronted with him in court, this kid will inevitably confess obediently.
Gossip is less and get back to business, and the next moment, Wu Shangshu summoned Chen Zhou and Ji Yan to the lobby.
Suddenly, the two lifters were brought to the hall, and they saw that the two were diametrically opposed, one was tall and thin, and the other was short and stocky, but the expressions of the two were the same, and they were all the same.
"Who's in the hall?" After all, the two of them are still lifted, Wu Shangshu didn't shoot the shock, and his words were polite.
"Student Chen Zhou, meet all the adults." The tall and thin man is called Chen Zhou, after the crime, he was not arrested and put in prison, but waited at home for the summons, but his complexion looked worse than that Ji Yan, and it seemed that it was difficult to endure these days.
"Student Ji Yan, meet all the adults." The short and sturdy is naturally Ji Yan, he speaks official dialect with a Jishui accent, and when he hears it, he knows that he is Hu Gelao's fellow countryman.
"Ji Yan, are you guilty?!" Wu Shangshu narrowed his eyes, and looked at Ji Yandao coldly with the gaze that he had cultivated over the years and could subdue demons and eliminate demons.
"Student," Ji Yan swallowed and foamed, "I don't know what the crime is......"
"Hehe, you have to think clearly, even if the final crime is the same, but taking the initiative to confess and being forced to admit it are very different in sentencing." Wu Zhong sneered: "This official asks you again, do you know?" ”
Ji Yandeng saw sweat on his forehead, but after being silent for a while, he still shook his head and said, "I really don't know ......."
"Do you recognize this person?" Wu Shangshu pointed at Chen Zhoudao.
Ji Yan turned his head to look at Chen Zhou, his face became more and more pale, the sweat on his face became more and more, and the fear in his heart was obviously accumulating. His reaction made all the adults present secretly disdainful, and he thought that this kid was going to resist, but it turned out that he was just hard-mouthed. But Liang Qian's heart has fallen to the bottom, as long as this season is strict, coupled with the confessions of Hu Chong and Chen Zhou, even if he doesn't speak, it is enough to be convicted of a capital crime......
"Say!" Wu Shangshu finally picked up the shocking wood and slapped the case hard.
"I said, I said ......" Ji Yan was so frightened that he shuddered for a while, and it took a while before he settled down: "I've seen it a few times before, but it's the first time I've heard of his name Chen Zhou." ”
"Ridiculous, you sell him exam questions, don't you ask his name?" Master Zhuang interjected and scolded. He felt that something was wrong, Ji Yan's exam questions were all sold to the same year, how could he not know their names?
"I sell exam questions?" Ji Yan's eyes widened and said, "Why did your lord say this? How can a student have such magical powers? Besides, even if I can get the exam questions, I will try my best to keep them confidential and ensure that I can get the top few exams, which is not more cost-effective than how much money I make? ”
"It's useless if you don't say it!" Zhuang Jing scolded: "Chen Zhou has already explained all the things between you, and if you don't open your mouth, you can only die even more ugly!" As he spoke, he turned to Chen Zhou and said, "Tell him the story of how you bought the test questions from him!" ”
Everyone's eyes turned to Chen Zhou, and Ji Yan was even more sweaty, and he was on the verge of collapse at a glance. After a moment of dead silence, Chen Zhou finally spoke, "The student didn't buy the test questions from him......"
"Did you hear that, he didn't buy a trial ...... from you" Zhuang Jing repeated Chen Juren's words with a smug face, and only stopped abruptly at the end, turned his head in disbelief, and stared at Chen Zhou.
Ji Gang and the others also stared at Chen Zhou with incredulous eyes, and they could stuff an egg into their mouths...... As for what kind of egg, it has to do with the size of the individual's mouth.
Ji Yan and Liang Qian's faces showed irrepressible ecstasy - Ji Yan's young age is just that, even Liang Qian, who is forty or fifty years old and self-cultivation to the point of 'eight winds not moving', can't restrain his feelings, it can be seen how unexpected and joyful this Chen Zhou's defection is!
In fact, Liang Qian and Ji Yan are just carrying it, the former is carrying it because he knows that with Emperor Yongle's violence, once his crime is decided, it is impossible to keep a whole corpse, and it is very likely to harm his family, so he must survive to the end...... The so-called coffin does not shed tears, he hit the south wall and cannot turn back.
As for the latter, he doesn't have Liang Qian's strong will, he can hold on and not let go, first, he has been locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, and he has not enjoyed the punishment of Jinyiwei; The second is that the interrogation has just begun, after all, and his will has not completely collapsed; And the most important and secret point is that the day before the trial began, the jailer who brought him food suddenly said, "The boss said that tomorrow you only need to deny it, and you can turn evil into good fortune." Liang Qian was hesitant and helpless to the extreme, and suddenly heard this kind of words, like grasping a life-saving straw, but when he wanted to ask again, the jailer had already walked away.
Last night, Ji Juren didn't close his eyes, his mind was full of what the jailer had said to him, and he recalled that the jailer had never come to deliver food, that is, the other party had come specifically for him. Ji Juren is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is very smart, of course, it is a matter of life and death, and he can't help but be smart. After thinking about it, Ji Juren was sure that the jailer was not trying to harm himself, because he confessed to this case, it was a dead end, and there was no need for others to draw snakes to add to it, so the jailer must not be harming himself...... With the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Ji Jucai decided to be stubborn to the end, otherwise he would have been frightened by Wu Shangshu and Zhuang Fuzi just now......
But before Chen Zhou spoke, Ji Yan was almost stunned, because he knew very well that as long as Chen Zhou confessed, Wu Shangshu would have a good reason to deprive himself of his background, and under Sanmu, he would undoubtedly recruit!
It's like on the guillotine, the executioner has already raised the knife, but suddenly someone shouts 'keep the knife behind', although in the end it is not enough to say whether to stay or not, but for the person whose head is already resting on the chopping board, it will inspire their infinite hope and strength!
"You say it again?" Zhuang Jing came back to his senses, stared at Chen Zhou's eyes like a poisonous snake, and said word by word, so cold that he said scum.
"The student didn't buy the exam questions from him," Chen Zhou was stared at and sweated profusely, but the more he spoke, the smoother he said: "At that time, Master Ji's subordinates threatened the students with the safety of the high hall and went to Brother Ji to buy the exam questions, but Brother Ji just looked at the students in amazement, scolded me, and criticized me for not wanting to work hard and thinking about crooked ways!" Scolded me back. After a pause, he said: "After coming back, the student was afraid that Master Ji's subordinates would hurt my parents, so they randomly found three questions from Cheng Mo over the years and handed over the errand......
"You talk nonsense!" At this time, even Ji Gang couldn't sit still, and patted the case: "The exam questions you gave to this seat are obviously the three questions of this subject!" I have already presented it to the emperor as evidence, even if I am blind, if there is an entry and exit, the emperor will not be able to see it?! ”
"The three questions I wrote, one is 'There is a way to make money', one is 'the people are enough, which is not enough', and the other is 'blame for the king's respect', which is completely different from the question of the exam." Chen Zhou said as he spoke, his face was pale, obviously frightened, but in the eyes of the chief judge and the jury, it was just his normal reaction to be afraid of Ji Gang's obscenity...... In the hearts of Wu Shangshu and Liu Zongxian, they already believe in the rhetoric of this season. On the one hand, this is because Ji Gang's reputation in the past is too bad, and it is always difficult to believe his words. On the other hand, no one could believe that a weak scholar would dare to risk provoking Ji Gang and lie above the lobby of this criminal department!
The two ministers would rather think that this Jiju was the conscience of the reader, or some other reason, that made him decide to tell the truth......
But Ji Gang knows that this season is a fucking nonsense! Ji Yan got the exam questions, he read them before the exam, and when the test questions came out and compared, they were naturally exactly the same! Although Ji Dudu is a school graduate, he is not illiterate, and he can even read the wrong question! In later generations, there were chengguan fishing law enforcement, and in this world, there are discipline governors fishing to collect evidence.
The reason why Ji Gang wanted to ask Chen Zhou to come forward to buy the exam questions, instead of directly using Jinyiwei's people to go fishing, was because Ji Yan was also very careful when he was in his hands, and the exam questions in his hand were not sold if he had money, but to select buyers, and only those who also wanted to participate in the examination of the current science and technology could do it.

"The student didn't buy the exam questions from him," Chen Zhou was stared at and sweated profusely, but the more he spoke, the smoother he said: "At that time, Master Ji's subordinates threatened the students with the safety of the high hall and went to Brother Ji to buy the exam questions, but Brother Ji just looked at the students in amazement, scolded me, and criticized me for not wanting to work hard and thinking about crooked ways!" Scolded me back. After a pause, he said: "After coming back, the student was afraid that Master Ji's subordinates would hurt my parents, so they randomly found three questions from Cheng Mo over the years and handed over the errand......
"You talk nonsense!" At this time, even Ji Gang couldn't sit still, and patted the case: "The exam questions you gave to this seat are obviously the three questions of this subject!" I have already presented it to the emperor as evidence, even if I am blind, if there is an entry and exit, the emperor will not be able to see it?! ”
"The three questions I wrote, one is 'There is a way to make money', one is 'the people are enough, which is not enough', and the other is 'blame for the king's respect', which is completely different from the question of the exam." Chen Zhou said as he spoke, his face was pale, obviously frightened, but in the eyes of the chief judge and the jury, it was just his normal reaction to be afraid of Ji Gang's obscenity...... In the hearts of Wu Shangshu and Liu Zongxian, they already believe in the rhetoric of this season. On the one hand, this is because Ji Gang's reputation in the past is too bad, and it is always difficult to believe his words. On the other hand, no one could believe that a weak scholar would dare to risk provoking Ji Gang and lie above the lobby of this criminal department!
The two ministers would rather think that this Jiju was the conscience of the reader, or some other reason, that made him decide to tell the truth......
But Ji Gang knows that this season is a fucking nonsense! Ji Yan got the exam questions, he read them before the exam, and when the test questions came out and compared, they were naturally exactly the same! Although Ji Dudu is a school graduate, he is not illiterate, and he can even read the wrong question!
