Chapter 357 What's the matter? You don't understand what brother-in-law said?
Wan Qiu looked very embarrassed.
Xiao Nan said in a deep voice: "Master Wan, you are so elegant. You are really good at being a prefect. You may not even know that Beiling City has fallen!"
Wan Qiu's face turned pale, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained: "Your Highness, please calm down, Wei Chen... Wei Chen is suffering from a serious illness, and... in addition, the recent bandits in Beiling County
It is rampant, and the humble ministers have no choice but to close the city. I still hope...I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will punish the crime..."
Wan Qiu explained hesitantly, looking very weak.
Xiao Nan couldn't help but feel amused, "So, do I blame you?"
Wan Qiu hurriedly responded: "Wei Chen... Wei Chen doesn't dare."
at the same time.
Under the leadership of Cao Chuan.
All the officials, big and small, in Beiling City were taken to the front hall of the Prefect's Mansion.
All Beiling City officials stood in the hall, all trembling.
The prince and the prince consort suddenly attacked and occupied Beiling City. Now they were completely passive.
Qin Yu looked at Wan Qiu, his eyes lowered, "Prefect Wan, you should know why we are here, right? Now I want to take over Beiling City, carry out rectification of officials, land reform, and implement new tax laws."
"So in order to cooperate with the rectification of the officials in Beiling City and set an example for the officials in Beiling City, please ask Prefect Wan to explain all his crimes one by one."
"ah?"
Wan Qiu looked at Qin Yu with a confused expression.
this......
So sudden?
No foreplay at all?
Qin Yu's words really shocked Wan Qiu.
People always arrest people with evidence, but it's good for Qin Yu. There is no evidence, and the matter is not disclosed, so he just lets people explain everything themselves.
Wan Qiu has been an official for half his life, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
You simply didn’t treat him as a human being, so you just asked him to plead guilty and be punished with such empty words?
Wan Qiu felt that Qin Yu was a little whimsical. If bad guys were so easy to catch, wouldn't the world be peaceful?
Seeing Wan Qiu, he was speechless.
Xiao Nan glared at him and said coldly: "What? You don't understand what my brother-in-law said? I want you to admit your mistake and you didn't hear it?"
"this......"
Wan Qiu looked at Xiao Nan with a troubled expression, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty... Your Highness, Prince Consort, Wei Chen... Wei Chen doesn't know, cough cough cough... why?
It’s a sin…”
"Wei Chen is dedicated to his work and serves the people wholeheartedly. Even if he is forced to close down the city due to rampant banditry and treats the Prince Consort and the Crown Prince lightly, then...then Wei Chen is not considered a crime..."
Wan Qiu looked at Qin Yu with an innocent face, as if Qin Yu wanted to impose an unfounded crime on him.
See his attitude.
Qin Yu smiled contemptuously, "Sir Wan, why should we pretend to be innocent when we are all just like water? Over the past year or so, I have arrested countless people, from the prime minister to the county magistrate. I have never wrongfully accused a good person, and I have never let him go.
Live a bad life.”
"While I am in a good mood now, I will give you another chance to plead guilty. Otherwise, if you are found out by me later, your crime will be increased to third degree!"
Was found out?
What Qin Yu said made Wan Qiu confused not only.
The officials of Beiling City who were kneeling in the hall were also confused.
They have been officials for so many years, but they are all eagles. They cannot let Qin Yu be frightened like this.
Wan Qiu also felt that Qin Yu had no conclusive evidence at all and must be a white wolf with nothing. This army may not be the Hebei army. After all, Lin Ruozhou had no news at all.
If Lin Ruozhou is caught.
Wan Qiu didn't believe Qin Yu would make this trip again and gave him a chance.
"You must want me to plead guilty and then deal with Governor Lin."
Wan Qiu's eyes shone brightly, and he felt confident in his heart.
There was a pause.
Wan Qiu knelt on the ground with a firm face, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty really doesn't know where the crime comes from, and I hope that Your Majesty will tell you."
Seeing that Wanqiu refused to admit it.
Qin Yu was naturally happy in his heart. He came here to chop off Wan Qiu's head today. It would be really difficult for him if Wan Qiu confessed.
"It doesn't matter if Mr. Wan doesn't admit it."
Qin Yu responded calmly, and then looked at the officials in the hall, "Did anyone else take the initiative to plead guilty so that I can save myself trouble? If I regret it later, it will be too late."
After hearing what Qin Yu said.
All the officials looked at each other, and they all remained silent, cursing in their hearts.
"Hmph... There is no way to trick us. As long as the Governor is here, it won't be our turn to confess."
"This prince-in-law is really interesting. Is this his first time handling a case? Without any evidence or any hints, he asked us to plead guilty on our own initiative? What a big joke."
"The commotion was quite loud, and it turned out to be thunder but no rain. Do you think we are all just living for a living? Are you going to stick our heads out and let you chop them off?"
...
The officials murmured in their hearts, mocking Qin Yu's naivety.
They believed that Qin Yu came here with nothing to show for it. Otherwise, why would he talk nonsense like this to them? He would have ordered the arrests long ago.
They all know that Qin Yu is not an easy person to talk to.
Seeing that everyone was silent.
Xiao Nan also had a sneer on his lips.
He really convinced Qin Yu, and every step was in Qin Yu's calculation.
Qin Yu said that he would go on a killing spree today to make this matter a sensation in the Wei Dynasty, and these people began to take the initiative to die.
"good."
Qin Yufeng was calm and calm, and said in a deep voice: "Since all of you are not cooperating with the work of this young master and the crown prince, then there is no need for me to save face for you."
As he said that, he looked at Wang Juncai and said, "Juncai, please invite Commander Lin Ruozhou."
"Yes, Prince Consort." Wang Juncai saluted and then left the front hall.
Hear this.
Wan Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked.
All the officials in Beiling City were also shocked.
Invite Governor Lin Ruozhou?
Governor Lin Ruozhou is here?
Then why didn't we come in together?
At this time, countless questions lingered in the minds of Wan Qiu and all the officials.
They suddenly felt that something was wrong, and Qin Yu seemed to have set a trap for them.
Not long after.
Lin Ruozhou, dressed in coarse cloth, came from outside the hall with a haggard face and dull eyes.
"The guilty minister Lin Ruozhou, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince Consort."
Lin Ruozhou knelt on the ground and saluted Qin Yu and Xiao Nan.
He felt Qin Yu's shrewdness and calculation more and more now. He was outside the hall just now, heard Qin Yu's words, and even knew Qin Yu's plan.
It has to be said that Qin Yu really guessed what these people were thinking. Lin Ruozhou himself became the ghost-headed sword who sent these officials to hell, and Qin Yu was the executioner.
Looking at Lin Ruozhou, who was wearing coarse clothes and kneeling on the ground.
Listen to the word "guilty minister".
Wan Qiu and all the officials were like a bolt from the blue, their minds went blank.
