In the Pavilion of Winds from All Directions, Lin Zhongmo's mouth was as big as a toad.
Lao Liu saw the shock on his face, slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, by the way, you are an upright official, there is nothing you can do to frame him."'
Then he ordered Deng Duo: "Go back and ask the shipping department to prepare one hundred thousand guan of treasure banknotes and send them over immediately and ask for new ones."
"One hundred thousand dollars..." Lin Zhongmo's jaw dropped to the ground. He didn't have that much money in his entire province.
"It's okay. This money was originally intended to honor my old man." Lao Liu smiled and said: "Send it as stolen money, so he can spend it more comfortably."
"..." Lin Zhongmo was so over the top that he held back a sentence for a while: "Your Highness is really a filial son."
"Oh, I'm just crying when I talk about it. What can I do with such a stall?" Lao Liu sighed. Now the entire Forbidden City is financed by him, and the old thief doesn't even have a penny left.
Lin Zhongmo did not dare to comment on the emperor, so he quickly returned to the topic and couldn't help asking: "It's just your highness, aren't we framed?"
"This is not frame-up." Lao Liu shook his finger and said, "You have to know that the devil is as high as the Taoist. When a bad person does bad things, he spends every day thinking about how to escape from being hit. What's more, he is still a group of gangsters.
An old scoundrel who has been punished for half his life."
"They have already cleaned up the official record, so it is possible that no evidence can be found from home. As I said just now, we cannot deal with them in the areas where they are good at. We must use our strengths and avoid weaknesses to deal with such professional bad guys.
!" Zhu Zhen then said in a deep voice:
“What are our strengths?”
"It's His Highness." Lin Zhongmo replied: "With Your Highness here, they can only wait and deal with it."
"So take advantage of this and deal with them!" Zhu Zhen patted him on the shoulder and encouraged Lin Zhongmo: "Bad people are not afraid of good people. What they are afraid of is that good people will do whatever it takes. As long as you arrest Xu Benya, they will naturally panic.
.As long as they panic, they will reveal their flaws, and you will have a way to break the situation!"
"Yes." Lin Zhongmo resigned with a heavy heart.
But I heard Lao Liu laughing loudly and saying: "I am teasing you. In fact, Xu Benya's family was caught by my people last night when they secretly transferred their property. Now the property is just returned to its original owner."
"Ah?" Lin Zhongmo's chin dropped to the ground again, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Highness really loves to tease people."
"I just want to see if you are willing to get your hands dirty in order to catch bad guys." Lao Liu smiled lightly and said, "It's not for people with mysophobia."
"My subordinates have already made preparations for whoever will go to hell if I don't go to hell." Lin Zhongmo said with a bitter smile.
"Well, I feel relieved knowing that you have this awareness." Zhu Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "Go ahead."
"Yes." Lin Zhongmo bowed and left again, this time his steps were much lighter.
As soon as he left, Deng Duo asked for instructions: "Your Highness, are you still going to withdraw money?"
"Nonsense, everyone is raising their butts. Who was out last night?" Lao Liu took off the jade pendant from his waist angrily. "I can use any means, but I don't want my subordinates to have no bottom line. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Deng Duo scratched his head and said to himself that it was true. It would take a while for Hu Xian and his large army to arrive. They only have a few people at the moment and it is not enough to protect His Highness. How could they have the ability to do anything else.
He knew that His Highness was also reminding him, so he quickly took the jade pendant and went to the Shipping Department to withdraw money.
~~
Early the next morning, Lin Zhongmo took the order from His Highness and personally led a team to search Xu Benya's house.
As expected by Lao Liu, Xu Benya had already transferred his property in advance, and all the valuable belongings in his family did not exceed twenty taels.
Looking at the cheap calligraphy and paintings temporarily hung on the wall and the old furniture with stains in the room, Lin Zhongmo was also convinced.
This gang of people are indeed professional in their methods of destroying evidence of crimes. Unfortunately, the devil is ten feet tall and His Royal Highness the King of Chu is ten feet tall. It was a bad luck to meet this old man, Xu Zhitai.
So when he was interrogated again, Xu Benya didn't panic at all. It wasn't until Lin Zhongmo told him that a hundred thousand gu banknotes were found from his home that Xu Benya was shocked.
"Ten, one hundred thousand gold?" Xu Benya said dumbfounded: "I don't have that much money, it's definitely not mine!"
"Of course you won't admit it. One hundred thousand guan is enough to skin you one thousand two hundred and fifty times!" Lin Zhongmo said coldly: "Is it possible that I framed you? I just took all the money in the vassal treasury.
It’s not even enough to put it into your home.”
"It's not you, it's someone else..." Of course Xu Benya knew that it wasn't Lin Zhongmo who did it. Only His Royal Highness the King of Chu could do such a trick.
And the other party made it clear to let him know that it was the other party who was framing him. This was a silent mockery of him destroying evidence and trying to escape the blow.
I just want to tell him that it’s useless no matter how hard you try, I can do whatever I want with you!
Xu Benya would occasionally be so cruel when facing ordinary people, just to make the other party feel despair and give up any resistance.
I didn’t expect that today would be my turn to taste the pain of being heartbroken...
"Here, take off his official clothes, remove his seat, and make him kneel down to answer!" Lin Zhongmo slapped the crowd hard.
The wolf-like official officer stepped forward, took off Xu Benya's black gauze, took off his official clothes, removed his seat, and pushed him to the ground.
As soon as the dignitaries came to Taiwan, they suddenly became ordinary people with no momentum.
"Xu Benya, if you don't admit it, then I can only use torture!" Lin Zhongmo shouted: "I hope your bones are as hard as those in Daozhi County!"
Xu Benya sighed dejectedly: "Oh, retribution..."
The advantage of being an old torturer is that once you see the officers bringing up sticks, hammers and other commonly used torture tools, you don't have to try them yourself to know what it feels like to have these things on your body.
"No need to go to so much trouble." Xu Benya smiled bitterly and said, "I admit that it was all my fault. I deliberately wanted to kill the magistrate."
"Why do you want to torture him to death? What conflict does he have with you?" Lin Zhongmo asked in a deep voice.
"He scolded me." Xu Benya said in a dull voice: "There was a case in Panyu County that was dismissed by the prosecutor's office. He came to me to reason, but later he got angry and actually called me a bitch."
"Whose bitch?" Lin Zhongmo asked.
"Those big people." Xu Benya sighed: "Anyway, whoever gives me money will be the one I speak for, but he can't scold me like that. If he scolds me, I will deal with him when I get the chance."
"How did you frame him?" Lin Zhongmo asked again.
"I think his surname is Dao and he is from Peiping, so he is probably a Mongolian son." Xu Benya replied: "The leader of the remnant Mongolian tribe in Guangxi also has the surname Dao, so he thought they were from the same family, so he was thinking about how to create a rumor for him.
, so that he can’t eat and walk around.”
"At this time, I saw the good news that the remnants of the Mongolian troops in Guangxi had been eliminated and a number of prisoners had been taken. I secretly sent people to Dusi Dalao in Guangxi and promised that as long as the Mongolian prisoners took advantage of Daotong and Daoyuan's relationship, I would try to release them.
.”
"You will know everything that happens next..." Xu Benya closed his eyes and said, "Anyway, it was all done by me alone. It has nothing to do with others."
