A glint flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes: "Is this what you call a deal?"
Yang Shuizhi nodded: "Yes, as long as you promise me a condition, I will tell you everything..." At this point, Yang Shuizhi added: "What I know will definitely surprise you!"
Ma Xiaoyao stared at Yang Shuizhi for a while, and then asked: "What are your conditions?"
"It's very simple!" Yang Shuizhi said word by word: "I want to live! As long as you promise not to sentence me to death, I will tell you everything I know!" After making trouble for a long time, Yang Shuizhi just wanted to give himself a bargaining chip to survive.
, no wonder, no matter who is facing death, they will be afraid, panic, and will do everything possible to save their lives.
The corner of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth curled up slightly: "I think you made a mistake... I don't have any say whether to sentence you to death or not. You should ask the judge."
"Director Ma, haven't you always advocated leniency for those who confess and harsh punishment for those who resist?" Yang Shuizhi said in a deep voice: "I am willing to confess everything, and I hope you can treat me leniently. My requirements are not high, as long as I am not sentenced to death.
That’s all, even if I’m sentenced to life imprisonment, I’ll accept it.”
Ma Xiaoyao put out the cigarette butt, flicked it lightly, and the cigarette butt drew an arc in the air, and then fell into the garbage basket: "I just made it very clear, whether I sentence you to death or not, I don't care, you should
Go and ask the judge, if the judge thinks you don’t need to be executed, then you can live.”
Yang Shuizhi was silent for a moment: "If I make great contributions, is it possible to have my punishment reduced?"
"Great merit? What great merit?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"You should have heard of He's Bi," Yang Shuizhi said softly.
"He's Bi?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment: "You're talking about... the national jade seal and his Bi?"
"Yes, it's the Imperial Seal!" Yang Shuizhi nodded.
"Why did you mention the Chuanguo Jade Seal and the Clan's Bi?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "As far as I know, the Chuanguo Jade Seal and the Clan's Bi disappeared a long time ago, and they have not been found until now." Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
When I took a history class before, I learned about the Chuanguo Jade Seal and the Chuanguo Jade. The Chuanguo Jade Seal is also called the "Chuanguo Seal" or the "Chuannational Treasure". It is made of the extremely precious Heshi Jade, so
Some people also call the jade seal passed down the country as "He's Bi". It is a seal passed down from emperor to emperor in China and was made by the first emperor Qin Shihuang.
The national jade seal is four inches in diameter and has five dragons on it. On the front, there are eight seal characters written by Li Si (the prime minister during the Qin Shihuang period, with great power and a famous calligrapher at that time).
As a token of "imperial power is divinely authorized, orthodox and legal".
Emperors of all generations later regarded it as a blessing to obtain the jade seal passed down from the country. No matter which generation of emperors received the jade seal handed down from the country, they would regard it as a peerless treasure and love it extremely.
What the emperors of all dynasties cared about the most were the eight compiled characters engraved on the Jade Seal of the State. These eight compiled characters were "Ordered by Heaven, and they will live long and prosperous." When the emperor received the Jade Seal of the State, it symbolized "Ordered by Heaven."
He is the emperor chosen by God. Losing the Jade Seal of the Kingdom means that "his strength is exhausted" and the emperor is about to come to an end. Ancient emperors were relatively feudal and superstitious, so they valued the Jade Seal of the Kingdom very seriously, even more than their own lives.
Be important.
The value of the Jade Seal itself is secondary. Its symbolic significance is very huge. In order to compete for the Jade Seal and the jade, the emperors of later generations went to war. There were constant wars. For a small Jade Seal, countless people died.
Later, it was said that the national jade seal suddenly disappeared and has not been seen yet... The disappearance of such a peerless treasure is really a big loss.
Later generations tried many ways to find the imperial seal and clan jade, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful.
"If I say...I know the whereabouts of He Shibi...can you guarantee that I will be exempted from the death penalty?" Yang Shuizhi said in a slow and forceful tone.
"What did you say!" Ma Xiaoyao stood up suddenly and looked at Yang Shuizhi in disbelief: "You... do you know the whereabouts of He Shibi? Yang Shuizhi, you can't make this kind of joke casually!"
Yang Shuizhi smiled slightly: "Do you look at me like I'm joking? What I said is true. I really know the whereabouts of He Shibi. As long as you give me a guarantee that I won't die, I will tell you.
The whereabouts of Heshibi."
Ma Xiaoyao slowly calmed down and glanced at Yang Shuizhi: "Do you really know the whereabouts of He's Bi?"
"Yes!" Yang Shuizhi nodded: "This matter involves my life and death, how can I talk nonsense? As long as I am not sentenced to death, I will not only tell the whereabouts of He Shibi, but also take the initiative to tell me which officials are serving as my
A protective umbrella.”
Ma Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, and then said: "This matter is of great importance. I need to ask my superiors for instructions."
"Okay." Yang Shuizhi nodded understandingly.
"I will give you an answer as soon as possible." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao turned around and walked out of the interrogation room, then took out his mobile phone and called Liu Yuncai. Ma Xiaoyao knew the value and significance of He's Bi. If He's Bi could really be found,
Then Ma Xiaoyao's contribution was greatly achieved.
After the call was connected, Ma Xiaoyao explained the matter of He Shibi in detail.
"Is there such a thing?" Liu Yuncai said in a surprised tone. No, it should be said that he was shocked: "Yang Shuizhi actually knew the whereabouts of He Shibi? How did he know? This is too unbelievable."
"Secretary Liu, what do you think I should do?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"..." Liu Yuncai was silent for a moment and asked: "Based on the crime Yang Shuizhi committed, what are the chances of being sentenced to death?"
"This..." Ma Xiaoyao thought for a while and said: "Yang Shuizhi forced the waitress to sleep with the guests, and sold a large amount of drugs to the guests. In addition, he opened a large casino in the basement of the Crystal Palace... The crime is very serious, and the chance of being sentenced to death is 20%.
More than 90 percent."
"If Yang Shuizhi has performed extraordinary meritorious service, will he be exempted from the death penalty?" Liu Yuncai then asked.
"If Yang Shuizhi really made great contributions, the judge will more or less consider it when sentencing him." Ma Xiaoyao said: "He's Bi is one of the most precious treasures in China. If Yang Shuizhi can really find He's Bi, which has been lost for a long time.
Bi, he definitely made a big contribution. In addition, Yang Shuizhi also said that he would expose some officials who acted as a protective umbrella for him."
"Well, okay, go ahead and tell Yang Shuizhi. As long as he can really find He Shibi and expose the officials who colluded with him, I will guarantee that he will be exempted from the death penalty." Liu Yuncai pondered for a long time before making the final decision.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I understand."
After Liu Yuncai gave a few more instructions, he hung up the phone.
Ma Xiaoyao put away his cell phone, turned around and returned to the interrogation room.
"How is it?" Yang Shuizhi asked anxiously: "Can the conditions I proposed be met?"
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Yang Shuizhi: "As long as you can really find He's Bi and expose the officials who colluded with you, your superiors will guarantee that you will be exempted from the death penalty."
"Really?" Yang Shuizhi's face was filled with joy: "That's great! That's great!" Yang Shuizhi was immediately relieved when he learned that he didn't have to die.
"I have agreed to your conditions, now can we talk about He Shibi?" Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Of course!" Yang Shuizhi took a deep breath: "To be honest, I only learned about He's Bi by chance... A few days ago, a cousin of mine came to the Crystal Palace for entertainment.
, I went over and had a few drinks with him. My cousin was a very light drinker, and he got drunk after just a few glasses of wine. Then he started talking drunkenly. I didn’t care at the time, but later my cousin actually mentioned grave robbing.
It was said that a very rich boss hired him to rob tombs, and the commission was as high as millions. I thought my cousin was joking at the time, but my cousin became more and more outrageous, and finally said that the tomb he robbed belonged to an emperor.
Inside the tomb were the long-lost jade seals and the Heshi Bi. I was immediately stunned. Although I had not read many books, I had heard of the Heshi Bi. The Heshi Bi was an extraordinary item.
Treasure..." At this point, Yang Shuizhi suddenly stopped.
Ma Xiaoyao was listening in rapt attention. When he saw Yang Shuizhi suddenly shut up, he suddenly became anxious: "Why did you stop? Keep talking! What happened next?"
"You should let me take a breath..." Yang Shuizhi licked his dry lips: "What, I'm a little thirsty now... my throat is almost smoking..."
"You have so many problems." Ma Xiaoyao stood up and gave Yang Shuizhi a glass of water: "Drink quickly and tell me after you finish drinking."
"Gudongdong..." Yang Shuizhi drank more than half a glass of water in one breath. Water is a good thing. After drinking, Yang Shuizhi felt that his throat felt much more relaxed. He took a breath and then continued: "The next day, wait for my cousin to drink wine."
After I woke up, I asked him about the emperor's tomb and He's Bi, but my cousin denied it flatly and refused to admit that he had said anything about the emperor's tomb and He's Bi... In the end, I was so angry that I threatened him.
My cousin, if he doesn’t tell me the truth, I will go to the Public Security Bureau to expose him and let the police arrest him... Hearing that I was going to call the police, my cousin was immediately frightened and had to tell me the truth honestly... At the beginning of the month
At that time, a strange man found my cousin and wanted to hire him to rob the tomb. The reward was as high as millions. My cousin was tempted when he heard it... Later, my cousin accidentally learned that the tomb was about to be excavated.
The tomb turned out to be an emperor's tomb, and the long-lost He Shibi was in this emperor's tomb... Anyone with some common sense knows that there are many mechanisms in the emperor's tomb, and if you don't pay attention, you will die. My cousin
Although he loved money, he loved his own life even more, so he went to the boss who hired him and planned to quit, but the boss didn't agree and finally raised the commission to two million, and also threatened my cousin if
I wanted to quit halfway, so I killed him. Only then did my cousin realize that he had boarded the pirate ship, and it would be difficult to get off again..."
