Chapter 225: Breaking Ground

Fang Zhen's death shook the rivers and lakes, and the Cao Gang was looking for clues with all their might, Liu Han reminded them some time ago to find clues from the scholars who died at the scene, and they didn't know how they found out.

As for the second piece, it is even more important, whether it is grain, satin, cloth, porcelain, salt, transshipment has to go through the Cao Gang, this is the rule set by the imperial court, even Tian Ning Wei Zhen can't change it, only the Cao Gang has so many ships.

Therefore, through the accounts of the Cao Gang, you can find out how many goods have been transferred over the years, where they have been transported, and who they have been handed over.

After hearing this, Fang Mei's slightly condensed and looked up at Liu Han: "I haven't found any clues about the death of my first husband, but which scholar has found it, it's from Wu County, surnamed Hou."

This person has no background, and he has no background at home, so he came out to study. ”

Speaking of this, she took a deep breath: "We found out that he lives in the Jinhu Inn in Jiankang, and met a scholar from Jingzhou, it is said that they went to Wu County together, so this scholar from Jingzhou is the biggest suspect, we have found out the road guide he registered in the inn, and Fang Jie has sent someone to Jingzhou to check." ”

"Who sent it?" asked Liu Han.

"Don't worry, it's Fang Jie's confidant Cai Quan and her late husband's disciple Xu Li, there is no problem in the selection, in addition, I also sent people, two people, there will be no accidents. Fang Mei's expression was calm, not impatient or impatient.

Liu Han nodded slightly, it seemed that there would be some time for this matter, he frowned and thought about it and said, "You should send a Danqing master, I estimate that what that person left is probably a fake name, and Jingzhou is likely to not be able to find anything." ”

Fang Meishi thought for a moment and nodded: "My lord is thoughtful, this is our negligence, Ming'er, I will remind Fang Jie." Liu Han sighed in his heart, I'm afraid it's too late, I'm afraid this guy Wang Ze has already thought of it and filled this loophole.

Tracking down Fang Zhen's death is to trap Wang Ze and the Wang family, this is probably the only chance, if not, then there is only a dangerous move.

"Can you get the accounts of the Cao Gang?" asked Liu Han.

Fang Meishi shook his head: "The accounts are the secrets of the Cao Gang, and it is possible for the concubine to inquire about the news, but the accounts must be carefully checked, and the concubine can't do it." ”

Liu Han's brows couldn't help frowning, and Fang Mei's smile came: "Why are you confused, the concubine can't find it, but the adults can find it." ”

Liu Han was slightly stunned and then raised his brows, Fang Meishi poured him tea and brought it to him: "The adults want to check the accounts of the Cao Gang, mostly for the Wei Zhen case, the adults have an ingenious method, and most of the others didn't expect it." ”

Wei Zhen's case shook Jiangnan, and many Yangzhou gate valve families were uneasy, not knowing how many people would be implicated, especially those who had ghosts in their hearts, and hoped that Wei Zhen would resist it, or simply die of a violent illness.

"Didn't the Cao Gang participate in Wei Zhen's matter?" asked Liu Han again.

Fang Meishi shook his head: "This matter, in fact, the former husband also knew that someone in the gang advocated taking over the next sum of goods and sending them to Youzhou, at least fifty percent of the profit could be made, but the first husband thought that this move was inappropriate, Wei Zhen was stealing and selling imperial grain, and sooner or later it would be exposed, if the Cao Gang participated in this matter, it would be tantamount to conspiring with Wei Zhen and vetoing this proposal." ”

Liu Han smiled slightly: "The Fang Gang Master has a long-term vision, and the Cao Gang can be regarded as avoiding a catastrophe." ”

Liu Han then asked a few more questions, Fang Mei answered them one by one, Liu Han didn't stay long, quietly walked out of the teahouse, and outside, Wei Bao fell from the tree, and the two of them silently followed the original path back to Xingyuan.

As soon as he returned to Xingyuan, Ju Yu sent someone to invite, and Liu Han hurried over.

Ju Yi read some recent documents and imperial court edicts today, and made the situation roughly clear, in general, the implementation of the new tax system was quite smooth, and after several county orders were removed, no one dared to openly come out to obstruct or oppose it, and Gu Wei's decree was unimpeded.

Ju Yi quickly noticed that the current focus of Yangzhou is on Wei Zhen's case, this case does not need to be guessed to know, the water behind it is very deep, and the imperial court handed over this case to Liu Han, this move made Ju Yi feel a little chill.

Does the court trust me or does it have some other intentions?

On the other hand, Ju Yi felt that Sheng Huai's days were numbered, Sheng Huai's confrontation was too tough some time ago, and the court must be unhappy, his departure is only a matter of time, Wei Zhen's case is closed, maybe when the case is closed, it will be when Sheng Huai leaves.

Feeling uneasy in his heart, he invited Liu Han to the sentence, and after just a few words, Liu Han understood the meaning of the sentence.

This sentence should be mixed into this case!

Is the sun coming out of the west?

"Wei Zhen hasn't opened his mouth yet, however, this case will definitely involve a lot of people," Liu Han said and sighed: "I don't know what to think in the palace, hand over the case to me, I know how to try the case, but the court ordered it, and I had to reluctantly embarrass it, and I was trying to ask the adults for advice on how to pry Wei Zhen's mouth open." ”

Ju Yi smiled, he didn't want to get involved in this hot potato, but he wanted to know, how many people were involved in this case, and who were them?

"The people are worried a lot, the court believes you when you use it, as for Wei Zhen, in fact, it is easy to pry his mouth open, but the people don't want to use it. Ju Yu looked at Liu Han with a smile on his face, his eyes were quite playful.

"Under Miki, I can't get any confession, but this is the Qin case," Liu Han was very embarrassed: "My lord knows that the Qin case cannot be tortured, how dare I use torture." ”

With a smile, Hu Benwei has some masters of torture, and there are many means, even if he beats people to death, he can't see a little scar on his appearance, and he doesn't need to be punished, it's just a pretext.

"The court is very concerned about this case, people, you have to worry about it. The sentence is not salty and not light.

"Thank you for your concern, alas, this Wei Zhen is stinky and hard, and he knows that he can't escape the death penalty, so he simply keeps silent. Liu Han was very embarrassed and didn't know how to start.

"It's okay, the old man has experience in dealing with this kind of person," Ju Yi climbed up and said with a smile: "As long as you grasp its weaknesses and attack it, you will gain something." ”

"Please give me some advice. Liu Han also took advantage of the situation to clench his fists and ask for advice.

"Don't dare to give advice, but the people can start with their children. He sighed deeply as he spoke, and he didn't know if it was sad or associated.

Liu Han also sighed: "I don't know how the average criminal and his family will deal with this kind of case?"

Ju Yu nodded, this is in line with his judgment, Liu Han is only a person who has returned to the Great Jin Dynasty for four or five years, and it has only been two or three years since he stepped into the officialdom, although he was promoted very quickly, and he became a fake captain in a short period of time, which is largely due to his own superhuman cultivation, so to speak, if it were not for the youngest nine-rank grandmaster in the world, he would now be just a team leader in the forbidden army.

"Ten years, tens of millions of silver, Tian Ning Wei Zhen should die," Ju Yu said softly: "Such a case, the court must be very strict, the Wei family and the Tian family are estimated to be raided, the Tian family is a scholar family, a thousand-year-old scholar family, if the Jizhou scholar clan tries their best to save it, the Tian family is estimated to be able to save most of it, and Tian Ning's family is afraid that it will be difficult to keep it."

As for the Wei family, there is nothing to say, Wei Zhen is not a small scholar clan, and he is attached to the Tian family, so I am afraid that all the men of the Wei family will be distributed, and the women will not enter the official mansion, and they will be auctioned by the official government, and then they will be slaves and maids, depending on their luck. ”

A question surged in Liu Han's heart, and he couldn't help blurting out: "It's so serious!"

"Serious, this is good," Ju Yu couldn't help but shake his head, this guy seems to have been in the Western Regions for too long, and he doesn't understand the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty: "If the imperial court wants to deal with it severely, all the men will be beheaded, and the women will be directly submerged and sent to the border army as camp prostitutes."

At this point, it is very difficult for both men and women to survive, you think, these delicate ladies and ladies can cope with those border soldiers who have not seen women all year round, like wolves and tigers, and it will not take three or five months, I am afraid that they will die. ”

Liu Han sighed deeply, and could only secretly scold that this law was really inhumane, no wonder Wei Zhen quickly succumbed after he proposed to protect his grandson.

"Even if you are assigned to Biansai, there are very few who can survive, you are a person who often walks the trade road of the Western Regions, so you naturally know the hardships of Biansai," Ju Yu sighed: "Zhang Meng, a friend of cloth clothes around the emperor, has a family of more than 20 people, and he is assigned to Liangzhou, but in five or six years, he is the only one left who dies, just think about it." ”

Liu Han nodded silently, and only looked up at him after half a sound: "But this kind of Qin criminal, the court must pay attention, alas, it seems that he can only deceive him." ”

The sentence smiled, there was no point of breaking, what is the difficulty of getting a few children, let alone others, even if Wei Zhen's daughter or daughter-in-law is put on the bed, it is not a difficult thing, this kind of thing has happened too many times in the prison of Dajin.

The two of them sighed for a long time, both surprised by Tian Ningwei Zhen's audacity and recklessness, and very emotionally moved by the ruthlessness of the imperial court.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Ju Yi smiled at Liu Han again, as if asking casually: "I heard that they invited you to a banquet today, but you didn't go." ”

Liu Han suddenly understood, I'm afraid this is the main purpose of the sentence tonight, his mind turned quickly, this sentence wants to be a lobbyist?

"That's the case, this Wei Zhen is really too difficult to interrogate, he came out of the trial, it was too late, so he pushed it, besides, invite me to dinner at this time, I'm worried that he came to the case, there is just an excuse, it's better to forget it like this. ”

Chu Mingqiu was very honest and sincere, and he didn't notice the slightest lie, according to what he learned, after Liu Han's trial, it was relatively late, but if it was too late, it wasn't, however, considering their attitude in the early stage, it was normal for Liu Han to take advantage of this time to take advantage of it.

So he nodded, and then asked: "The grain depot case is not short, and the imperial court has suddenly grasped it, do the people know why?"

Liu Han thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Should it be for silver?"

The sentence nodded meaningfully: "The people are really smart." ”

Liu Han smiled bitterly, and sighed: "The imperial court is short of silver, although this great victory was won, but the imperial court's treasury is probably empty. ”

Liu Han roughly understood in his heart, and he tried again: "What do you mean....?"

Ju Yi smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, Liu Han scolded in his heart, this old fox accepted other people's money, but he didn't tell the truth at all.

This is called the silver of ten thousand flowers falling into the pocket, and the slightest dust does not stick to the body.
