Chapter 134: Cui Shihai's confession
Inspectorate of the Ombudsman.
Qin Huaidao and his entourage came in a hurry, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard cheers one after another, turned their heads and saw that there was a dry fight in the open space next to them, many people were watching and cheering, Cheng Chu was the most fierce, waving his fists and hating to play by himself, Yu Chi Baolin shouted angrily.
"They're ...... Training? Luo Zhang asked uncertainly.
"Leave them alone, put down the corpse and report it, it should be too late, don't mess around when it's late, next time you go, settle down and come over by yourself." Qin Huaidao admonished.
Luo Zhang agreed and hurried away.
Cheng Chumo found Qin Huaidao who came in, hurried over, and explained embarrassedly: "My lord, the brothers are learning and promoting feelings, what is this?" He looked at the corpse.
"Find a place to put it away, continue to learn, pay attention to proportion, and don't break your hand or leg to kill someone." Qin Huaidao advised, soldiers, doing dry fights is conducive to unity, and it can also improve combat effectiveness, but it can't be excessive.
"Obey!" Cheng Chu silently saw that Qin Huaidao had no objection, and excitedly agreed.
Yu Chi Baolin also ran over, looked at the corpse and asked, "What is the situation?" ”
"You two never left here?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically, and when he saw the two of them shaking their heads, he explained: "No wonder you two don't know, I'm afraid there is already a lot of noise outside, they are the murderers who assassinated me, you two go back to the house, ask your father's opinion, and then come back." ”
The two realized that something was wrong, there were too many guards around, so they didn't want to ask more, so they nodded solemnly.
Qin Huaidao went straight to the backyard and saw Liu Da, who was guarding Cui Shihai.
Liu Da also saw Qin Huaidao, hurriedly came up to salute, and said: "My lord, the people inside seem to be crazy, they have begged all day, they are willing to recruit anything, and let their subordinates talk to him, but their subordinates didn't dare to answer." ”
"Well done, guard, no one is allowed to come close." Qin Huaidao praised it, went directly to the miscellaneous room, pushed open the door, opened the cellar cover, the light below was dim, the smell was sky-high, Cui Shihai stayed for a few days, all kinds of excrement can only be solved on the spot, it is difficult to think about not smelling.
Cui Shihai saw the cover open, rushed over from the corner, and shouted anxiously: "Don't go, please give me something to eat, and talk to me." ”
The voice was weak, and there was longing in the panic.
A person is locked in a dark cellar, with an area of less than three square meters, unable to see anything, unable to hear anything, and even excrement can only be solved on the spot, as if isolated from the world, and thinking about his own sins, all kinds of thoughts cannot be suppressed at all, and he only thinks about the bad side, and it is difficult not to collapse.
Qin Huaidao saw that the other party's eyes were red and unkempt, and he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and he would definitely be crazy if he was locked up again, so he asked, "Cui Shihai, do you know this official?" ”
Cui Shihai looked at the direction of the exit of the cellar, and after getting used to the bright light, he recognized Qin Huaidao, and knelt down with a puff and begged for mercy: "My lord, you are good, give me a knife, I will say anything I want to know, don't torture anymore." ”
"Tell me, who told you to threaten those drivers?"
Cui Shihai suddenly regained some consciousness when he heard this, and hesitated and did not speak.
"Why, if you don't want to say it, then lock it up and come back when you want to say it." Qin Huaidao got up deliberately, looking ready to leave.
Cui Shihai thought of the terrible experience of the past two days, how dare he go through it again, and he didn't even want to stay in the cellar for a moment, it was terrible, it was torture, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "I said, I said, it was ordered by the head of the family." ”
"Master Choi?"
"Yes, it's him, it's what he asked."
"Why?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Cui Shihai hurriedly said: "It seems that I want to take down the method of burning bricks and dedicate it to the prince, I'm not sure if it's true or not, I'm just a partial brother, not the main house, I can only follow orders, and I'm not qualified to have too much contact." ”
"Prince, are you sure?" Qin Huaidao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was actually the prince again.
Cui Shihai hurriedly explained: "I'm not sure, once I asked Cui Youwei to drink, he was drunk and said that he leaked his mouth, and he refused to say it when he asked again, and scolded me, which is estimated to be true." ”
Qin Huaidao's eyes became cold, he had heard that Li Jing had mentioned that the prince wanted to build a house, but the cost was too great to start construction, and he could save a lot of money by getting the method of burning bricks, but the Cui family supported King Wei, why did he do it, unless he ...... Thinking of a possibility, Qin Huaidao asked, "The Cui family is the prince's person?" ”
"I don't know, where am I qualified to contact this kind of secret, but Cui Youwei asked me to do some things before, and I checked it afterwards, and it was all related to the prince." Cui Shihai hurriedly said.
Qin Huaidao somewhat understood, the Cui family supported King Wei on the surface, secretly supported the prince, stepped on two boats, bets on both sides, no matter which side will be on the throne in the future, it will be beneficial to the family, in order to help the prince build a house and save costs, he came up with the idea of seizing the method of burning bricks, and it can also allow the family to master one more money-making skill.
As for King Wei, it is estimated that he heard some rumors, so he also took action.
One thought after another flashed through his mind, Qin Huaidao was angry in his heart, and asked, "Is there any evidence left?" ”
"How dare you leave evidence, isn't that looking for death?" Cui Shihai looked bitter.
"You also did the coal mountain?"
Cui Shihai went out and said truthfully: "It was I who forced a person in charge of cooking to drug the dish, Cui Youwei said that it doesn't matter if you kill a few coachmen, lowly people, no one cares if they die, but Luo Zhang's identity is sensitive, and he can't kill people, so as not to have too much impact, burning the mountain and killing the coachman are all for pressure, as for how to get the method of burning bricks, I am only responsible for doing dirty work, I didn't expect another wave of people to sneak attack Qinjiazhuang." ”
Qin Huaidao asked a few more words, but Cui Shihai knew that it was limited, and seeing that he really couldn't ask anything, he said: "Cui Shihai, you have been abandoned by your family and become an outcast, do you know what it means?" ”
"I know, I just ask the adults to open up and let my family go."
"What's in it for you?"
Cui Shihai hesitated for a moment and said: "The person in charge of contacting Cui Youwei is a personal guard beside the prince, I have secretly investigated, and by chance, I found that this guard and the housekeeper of the Wei Wangfu have been secretly in contact, the matter is too big, I dare not investigate again, but I suspect that this guard is actually someone sent by the King of Wei to the prince's side." ”
"Guards?"
Qin Huaidao asked in surprise, seeing Cui Shihai nodding, he suddenly thought of something, asked Liu Da, who was guarding in the distance, to bring charcoal and paper, and motioned for him to sharpen the charcoal after leaving, sketched out the deceased person in the villa last night, and then handed it over and asked, "Take a good look, is it this person?" ”
"Yes, it's him, and the adults know about it?" Cui Shihai asked in surprise.
Qin Huaidao ignored it, his heart was full of shock, it was really the prince's personal guard, no wonder there was a token, but, this person is still the person of the king of Wei, could it be that the villa is the prince's property, and those dead soldiers are also the prince's people, and the king of Wei deliberately let the guards take the prince's dead soldiers to attract themselves to investigate, and provoke a fight with the prince?
Even the suicide of the guard was also in the plan of the King of Wei, with the identity of the guard, with the East Palace token, although Zhuangzi was not registered, if you really have to check carefully, you can know that it is the prince, plus hundreds of dead soldiers, and also has a crossbow, and it is the assassination of the prince of the dynasty and the supervision of the palace Yin, once exposed, the government and the opposition are shaken, Li Er can't hold it down at all, he can only depose the prince, and may even die, and the king of Wei will take advantage of the fisherman.
If necessary, the king of Wei can also push Cui Shihai out to confess, say that the assassination of the coachman, and the burning of coal mountains is also the prince's instigation, this knife is made up, and the prince will definitely die!
No one would suspect the King of Wei, and all he lost was a guard.
Even if someone questioned it, King Wei could have generously admitted that he really wanted to burn bricks, but he only sent someone to buy it, and the price was 50,000 yuan, which was rejected.
At this moment, Qin Huaidao somewhat understood why King Wei would buy it at a price, it was best to buy it, and if it didn't work, it would pave the way for the follow-up plan and wash away the implications.
Good means! Good calculation!
