Chapter 322 Qiu Shenjis original prison visit-style interrogation method
Inner prison.
Yang Jiaben walked in tremblingly.
Just like Xue Chuyu, when he discovered that there was no shocking blood, the old man breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Qiu Shenji's voice came from the side: "Don't be afraid, the blood has been washed away and you won't be able to see it."
Yang Jiaben glanced at him with disgust: "You are rude, junior!"
Qiu Shenji picked his ears and said, "What's the point of relying on an old man to show off his old skills? If you want to visit the prison, hurry up. If you don't want to visit the prison, get out!"
Yang Jiaben was so angry that his beard almost stood up: "You! You!"
Qiu Shenji had a good time: "Now I am an official and you are a citizen. Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, get out!"
The two faced off for a while, and finally Yang Jiaben rolled his sleeves and entered the cell angrily, not caring about such a bad thing.
After entering the cell, what he saw was an almost unrecognizable face. Yang Jiaben cried out in pain: "The beginning of time!"
Yang Zhirou leaned against the wall, his head drooped, blood dripping from his mouth, and there was no reaction.
The surroundings were indeed kept clean, but Yang Zhirou was very sloppy and didn't even wipe away the blood on his mouth.
This strong contrast adds to the heart-stopping imagination.
Yang Jiaben shivered when he looked at his body and was surrounded by the wide and fat shadow behind him.
After being frightened and thinking that he was already a lot older, Yang Jiaben didn't dare to do anything to the other party. Yang Jiaben came to Yang Zhirou and whispered: "Taichu, you have suffered a lot these days, and everyone in the family is thinking of you!"
After calling many times in succession, Yang Zhirou's body trembled slightly, his swollen eyelids rolled up, and then he woke up and groaned: "Second uncle?"
Yang Jiaben responded repeatedly: "It's me! It's me!"
Yang Zhirou managed to cheer up and asked: "What's going on outside...?"
Yang Jiaben's eyes moved, turned to look behind him, and said coldly to Qiu Shenji: "Qiu Wuwei, when I said goodbye to His Highness, I was given the opportunity to visit you at His Highness's order. Now please get out!"
Qiu Shenji rolled his eyes: "How majestic! If I hadn't known that you had gone to the position of Prince Zhan Shi, the third-level prince, and tried every possible means to beg for the bones, I would have thought you were returning to your hometown with honor!"
Yang Jiaben's chest heaved with anger: "Are you going out or not?"
This time, the Shandong gentry led by Zheng Rentong, the governor of Luozhou, blocked his retreat. It was indeed not easy for him to retreat. The Yang family paid a lot for it. Before leaving, Yang Jiaben proposed to visit the prison. He burst into tears in the East Palace, and finally got it.
The prince agreed.
He was using this opportunity to investigate Yang Zhirou's situation and report it to the Hui clan. He would never let it go just because of a few harsh words.
The two faced off for a moment, and Qiu Shenji's face darkened, and he finally made a compromise: "I'll only give you half a quarter of an hour!"
Seeing the other party disappear outside the cell door, Yang Jiaben breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rushed to Yang Zhirou's side. At this time, his movements were no longer sluggish, but rather moved like an old rabbit: "Taichu, you must hold on, you shouldn't say a thousand words."
You must not say that the clan will find a way to rescue you!"
Yang Zhirou nodded her chin with difficulty and whispered: "I... I will hold on... hold on... What's going on outside..."
Yang Jiaben pursed his lips: "Don't worry, everything is fine outside!"
Yang Zhiju said: "Li Yuanfang has...the prince's support...must...must...make the prince...can he succeed?"
A hint of gloom flashed in Yang Jiaben's eyes.
After Yang Zhirou was arrested, the Hongnong Yang family immediately spread the news in Chang'an and tried their best to promote the prince's prestige in Luoyang. The news was spread to the Daming Palace by interested people, which made the saint fear that he would lose his power, which led to the conferment of the title of Prince Yong.
For His Highness's sake.
Behind this turmoil, it was Yang who was fanning the flames, but ended up shooting himself in the foot.
When Ming Chongyan, the guardian of plum blossoms, stood in front of Prince Yong's Mansion, holding an imperial edict and conferring rewards loudly, many people gathered around to watch. As a result, Li Xian made a move that greatly disappointed those who were interested.
King Yong first bowed in the direction of Chang'an, and then turned to bow in the direction of the East Palace: "Without the guidance of the prince brother, I would never be what I am today. I will go to the palace to pay homage to the prince brother. Ming Pavilion will lead
Why don't you go with us?"
Then the two of them actually went to the palace to pay homage to the prince. Afterwards, Li Xian took the students from the Second Hall back to the house and immersed themselves in editing and annotating the "Book of the Later Han" without paying attention to political affairs at all!
This incident not only reflected the rare brotherhood and respect between princes, but also increased the prince's prestige.
The reason is very simple. The officials realized that the saint's body was really failing.
If the saint's body could still support him, he would not have resorted to this tactic of fighting between brothers. It is true that he was far away in Chang'an and had too few means to suppress the prince.
Or the prince could be ordered to return to Chang'an with hundreds of officials, but that would be too ridiculous. The order would be changed overnight, and the disasters in the pass would repeat again.
Either the power should be handed over to Empress Wu again, but not to mention the lessons learned from the past, depending on Empress Wu's current prestige, it will trigger a strong backlash.
The situation has reached this point. Promoting King Yong has become the only way for the saint to check and balance the prince. If this trick fails, any other tricks will be at the cost of shaking the country's foundation. The saint takes care of the world of Li and Tang, and is unwilling to do it after all.
Things that push the boundaries.
In this way, the prince's position as supervisor of the country is completely stable. If bad news comes from Chang'an and the imperial mausoleum comes in handy, he will officially ascend the throne!
It is precisely because of this that Yang Jiaben went to prison to visit him. There was really no other way outside, so he had to rely on Yang Zhirou inside the prison to support him.
He started to encourage his nephew. Yang Zhirou was so dizzy that he couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a while. He was indeed inspired: "Second uncle, please don't worry... That thief is... beat me to death... I
Don’t tell me either!”
Yang Jiaben praised: "Okay, even if you kill him, this is a good man for my Hongnong Yang family. Your wife and children will be taken care of by us, so don't worry!"
Yang Zhirou made another humble request: "I can't get out...but the other two thieves...don't let them out! It's all them...it's all them...that's why I ended up like this...the result is...
After being imprisoned... they will torture me... but they won't torture them either... woo woo woo!"
Seeing this man's tears welling up, Yang Jiaben was filled with indignation. This was too bullying. He promised: "Don't worry, Taichu, we will keep a close eye on those thieves. If Li Yuanfang dares to engage in any cheating for personal gain, we will not even let him go!"
Yang Zhirou finally had some comfort: "Okay! Okay!"
Yang Jiaben felt that the purpose of this trip had basically been achieved, and there was only one last thing left.
That is to find out how serious a crime Yang Zhirou committed, so that Yang can respond well and know how much benefit to give up at the critical moment.
He looked back at the cell door, looked around again, leaned into Yang Zhirou's ear, and said in a very low voice: "Tell me, who is it?"
Yang Zhirou's lips trembled, she moved her mouth and spit out two words.
Yang Jiaben's pupils suddenly shrank, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees.
…
Outside the cell.
Qiu Shenji did not lie outside the door and eavesdrop. Instead, he came to the cell on the other side and looked at the two people arguing inside.
Seeing the smile on his round face that he thought was gentle but could not be described as ferocious, not to mention Jin Zhizhao stopped moving and tensed up, Xue Chuyu swallowed, a little scared, and hurriedly stood up and said
: "Qiu Wuwei!"
Qiu Shenji pressed his hand: "Go on, what excuse did this thief girl make today?"
Xue Chuyu said honestly: "She is a princess of Silla. She is no better than an ordinary noble. If she wants to do everything possible to protect her country, I will refute her."
Qiu Shenji knew that Li Yan had an ulterior motive for this arrangement, and grinned: "Young gentleman is patient and can accomplish things, good! If she is not honest, just tell me, I am tired sometimes, so I have to take it easy.
Rokuro said that you have to combine work with rest."
Jin Zhizhao's eyes flashed coldly when she heard this. If she had recovered her martial arts, what she was seeing would not be chopping melons and slicing vegetables. Now she wanted to argue, but she didn't dare, so she could only turn her head away.
Xue Chuyu felt the kindness of the other party. Compared with the glare he received in Hongwen Hall, it was really heart-warming and concerned: "Qiu Wuwei, I just heard someone coming to visit Yang Zhirou in prison?"
Qiu Shenji smiled and said: "Yes, this thief is very tough. I originally thought that the trial would take a few more days, but I didn't expect that someone else would come to the door. It seems that it will end today."
Xue Chuyu's face changed slightly: "Is Qiu Wuwei going to attack the prisoner? I'm afraid this is against the rules..."
Qiu Shenji waved his hand: "Of course it can't be like this under normal circumstances. My inner guard is still very reasonable, but Yang Zhirou's extraordinary difficulty in interrogating has allowed me to confirm that what he committed is probably bigger than I imagined!
"
Seeing that Xue Chuyu was full of doubts, Qiu Shenji simply explained: "For a high-ranking family, the impact of a conviction is actually divided into four levels: the individual, close relatives, family members and the entire clan."
"For example, in the Yundan case, Liu Lang was extremely disgusted by the case, and the impact was indeed huge. However, in the end, the people the saint ordered to be executed were only Dou Decheng, Cui Shouye and Li Sichong, as well as a group of drug trafficking participants. Their relatives were not affected.
Cui Shouye's brother Cui Langzhong and Li Sichong's father Li Jingxuan were not charged."
"Only if someone commits a heinous crime of rebellion, the whole family will be affected. For example, when armor was found in Li Jingxuan's home, the whole family was immediately beheaded."
"But if Li Jingxuan is killed, the entire Li family will not be affected. Neither his original Li family nor the later merged Li family of Zhao County will be implicated. Not even his family members will be involved, let alone the entire big family.
Already."
"There is only one case in this dynasty, which involves the entire wealthy family, and even the in-laws are greatly implicated."
Having said this, Qiu Shenji stopped.
Not to mention that Xue Chuyu listened attentively, even Jin Zhizhao pricked up his ears, but he chose not to say anything.
The two of them felt very uncomfortable and were afraid of his fierce power, so they did not dare to ask.
Qiu Shenji didn't care about Jin Zhizhao. He shook his head to Xue Rengui's son Xue Chuyu: "It's not that I want to whet your appetite. I really can't say..."
"Back to Yang Zhirou, the crime committed by this thief affects not only one family, but also the whole house, so he grits his teeth and fights to the death. However, he is almost at his limit. As long as he is killed in front of him,
When the prison visitors interrogate him, he will know that the Yang family outside is not enough to affect the current situation, so he will naturally become completely desperate. And once he confesses, it will implicate the visiting clan members, and it will not be considered a violation of the rules..."
"Out!"
It did come out.
Yang Jiaben walked in the cell, almost holding on to the wall. When he got to the cell door, he waited for a long time. Finally, his legs were no longer weak and he didn't dare to stay anymore. He hurried out and was about to leave.
However, Qiu Shenji walked over and said, "Mr. Yang, why are you in such a hurry?"
Yang Jiaben handed over his hand: "Qiu Wuwei, I have finished visiting the prison and am leaving!"
Qiu Shenji looked at him carefully, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Yang Jiaben's robe: "I see that you have a strange face and are walking in a hurry. You are also an accomplice of Thief Yang. Don't even think about leaving! Come here, hang him up too."
stand up!"
Yang Jiaben was stunned. He never expected that Qiu Shenji would turn against him and scream: "I can only come in to visit the prison because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's order. Qiu Shenji, how dare you!"
Qiu Shenji said: "I asked you to visit the prison. Your Highness didn't say that you couldn't be arrested because you were guilty, right? I now suspect that Thief Yang has revealed the secret to you, hang him up!"
Qiu Shenji was just an excuse to arrest people, but when Yang Jiaben thought that he had really heard the secret, he was so frightened that he began to play tricks: "You dare to interrogate me? I am very old, do you want my life?"
The obedient inner guard looked at him with gray hair, and indeed he was a little afraid to move. Only Qiu Shenji laughed loudly, kicked him to the ground, and said with a sigh: "Others are afraid of old people like you, so you will die at every turn.
You are showing off to others, but I am not afraid, you will die! Do you think I haven’t checked you? You dared to marry a concubine last year, you are so strong, if you have the guts, you will die!!"
Saying that, he kicked him over again.
Yang Jiaben screamed after being kicked, his white hair was disheveled, and he was rolling on the ground.
Qiu Shenji reached out and grabbed his white hair and dragged him directly into the cell. When he slammed the cell door, the last words Xue Chuyu heard were: "Dulu Qinwang has been taken care of by Dali Temple and will be executed tomorrow."
, I will finish interrogating you today, and then you can watch the ceremony with peace of mind!"
Hearing hysterical wailing coming from the cell opposite, Jin Zhizhao remained silent.
Xue Chuyu comforted her kindly: "Don't be afraid, he will not come to interrogate you until Yang Zhirou finishes interrogating you."
Jin Zhizhao: "..."
Thank you so much!
…
This time it was really fast. It didn't even take half an hour before the cell door opened again.
Qiu Shenji strode out, not even bothering to wipe the blood spattered on his face, and ordered his men: "Go find a doctor to prevent that old man from dying in my prison, and then drag him to Dali Temple for interrogation."
"yes!"
Xue Chuyu greeted him in awe: "Qiu Wuwei, the interrogation has come out?"
Qiu Shenji nodded, his expression full of excitement and a hint of fear: "The trial is out, no wonder I don't want to tell the truth... I'm going to see Liu Lang, you continue to stare at the Silla thief, wait until I finish tomorrow
It will be her turn to be executed."
Not far away, Jin Zhizhao was shivering. Xue Chuyu was really curious: "Qiu Wuwei, can you tell me a little bit?"
Qiu Shenji whispered: "Didn't I just tell you that this is the biggest case in this dynasty..."
Xue Chuyu stood there, thinking for a moment, and his eyes suddenly moved.
Yes, his father also mentioned it once, but in a hurry and didn't want to mention it more.
That incident was the first in this dynasty and involved countless major cases:
