"Li Zhenpin accepted tens of thousands of taels of bribes, causing the factory building in Steel Town to collapse and kill more than 30 people. Now that the stolen goods have been seized and the evidence is conclusive, Li Zhenpin has been put in jail. Li Yousheng, do you still want to resist?"
Sitting in the temporary detention center of the disciplinary inspection team, Cui Changwu was beating Li Yousheng.
Li Yousheng had two lines of tears on his face and did not answer Cui Changwu's words at all.
Li Yousheng knew that Li Zhenpin's life could not be saved.
One tael of silver in this era can buy more than 80 kilograms of rice and noodles in Tianjin, which is equivalent to several hundred yuan in later generations. One hundred thousand taels of silver is equivalent to tens of millions of yuan in later generations. Such a huge amount of bribes, Li Zhi
This is the first and worst time among the officials under my leadership.
Such a case is enough to bring shame to the Li family, which has always been famous in one town and four provinces.
With Li Zhi's strong style, it would be impossible for such a major case to be handled laxly. If Li Zhenpin challenged Li Zhi's rule of law and public ethics in this way, it would be impossible to save his life.
After Li Zhenpin's case came to light, Cui Changwu began to investigate Liu Yiyi's murder case. Now that it was determined that the Steel Town Engineering Department was controlled by Li Zhenpin, Liu Yiyi was just a puppet behind the scenes, and there was no reason to commit suicide in fear of crime. Cui Changwu highly doubted Liu Yiyi's murder.
Li Yousheng sent people to murder both of them in order to silence them.
Li Yousheng wiped his tears and sat on the chair without saying a word.
Obviously, the aging Li Yousheng was not prepared to confess his own affairs. As the "patriarch" of the Li family, or the former patriarch before Li Zhi's rise, even Cui Changwu did not dare to torture him without evidence.
As for the witness and physical evidence involved in this murder case, Li Yousheng believed that Cui Changwu could not obtain it at all.
At this time, if Li Yousheng said more words, it would give Cui Changwu more clues. He made up his mind not to say a word, and as long as he stayed up until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he could leave the detention center.
As long as he leaves this detention center, Li Yousheng will still be one of the most influential figures in the Li family. Cui Changwu killed Li Yousheng's only grandson, and it is impossible not to avenge this. The fighting between the Li family and the Cui family has just begun.
Cui Changwu felt a strong murderous aura from Li Yousheng's silence. He couldn't help but feel nervous and took a breath.
Facing a wily figure like Li Yousheng, even Cui Changwu felt danger. If it weren't for the support of Duke Youjin and his sister Cui He, and if it weren't for Duke Youjin's fingerprint collection equipment, Cui Changwu would not have dared to interrogate Li Yousheng severely.
Seeing that Li Yousheng remained silent, Cui Changwu shook his head helplessly and stood up.
A leader of the disciplinary inspection team came up and said in Cui Changwu's ear: "Chief, a large number of fingerprints were found on the neck of Liu Yiyi's body. Analysis basically shows that they belong to one person. Liu Yiyi was strangled to death."
Cui Changwu frowned and looked at Li Yousheng again.
Cui Changwu deliberately said loudly: "I knew it was strangled! Now this murder case has been classified as homicide, not suicide!"
Cui Changwu wanted to scare Li Yousheng to see if he could frighten the old man into confessing honestly. But Li Yousheng was not moved at all and still kept his lips tightly closed without saying a word.
Cui Changwu felt that Li Yousheng seemed to be winning, so he snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Start checking. Check the fingerprints of Li Yousheng's servants and servants with the fingerprints of the murderer. No one can be missed."
The group leader sang loudly and went down to have his fingerprints checked.
Cui Changwu stood up and walked back and forth in Li Yousheng's class room. He looked at Li Yousheng from time to time, trying to see some flaws in Li Yousheng's face, but found that the old man had no expression on his face at all, and was just wiping away tears from time to time.
Cui Changwu frowned and walked out of the class room.
Walking to the disciplinary inspection team cadres who were busy comparing fingerprints, Cui Changwu asked: "Is there any result?"
Several cadres shook their heads in frustration and said: "Commander, I have checked all Li Yousheng's servants and servants, and there are no matching fingerprints."
Several cadres had been busy for a long time, but it turned out that their work was in vain. They were a little frustrated and stayed there looking at Cui Changwu.
The team leader next to Cui Changwu said: "Chief, when we were taking the confession yesterday, the servants of the Li family said that two of the most skilled servants in the family left a few days ago. I don't know where they went."
When Cui Changwu heard this, he frowned, knowing that there was no doubt that these two servants were the murderers of Liu Yiyi. However, the two of them had already escaped at this time, and it was impossible to capture them for interrogation or fingerprint testing.
Cui Changwu turned to look at Li Yousheng. Li Yousheng was still sitting in the class room weeping for his grandson. He seemed not worried about the murder on himself. Seeing Li Yousheng's appearance, Cui Changwu knew that this powerful old man must have some back-up plan. Maybe he had some back-up plan.
The murderer has "disappeared".
Since Li Yousheng could transport the Huang family, the contractor, to the south, he naturally had the ability to transport the two servants away. The world is so big that no one knows where these two servants have fled.
However, Li Yousheng did not understand Li Zhi's methods.
Cui Changwu walked back to Li Yousheng's class room, knocked on the table in front of Li Yousheng, and said: "Li Yousheng, do you think that if you take away the two servants, there will be nothing we can do to you?"
"Do you think fingerprints must be recorded on the suspect?"
Hearing Cui Changwu's words, Li Yousheng's eyes suddenly flashed with panic. He finally stopped crying and looked at Cui Changwu in surprise.
Cui Changwu asked loudly: "Where do Li Yousheng's two servants live?"
The team leader quickly replied: "I live in a small villa next to the Li family's mansion. The two servants are not married and share a small villa."
Cui Changwu nodded and said: "Very good!"
"There must be two servants' fingerprints all over the furniture in this villa. Send someone there to take fingerprint samples! Compare them with the fingerprints on the victim's neck!"
After hearing Cui Changwu's words, Li Yousheng finally panicked.
He looked around the four corners of the class room in panic, as if he wanted to escape. But when he saw the strong disciplinary inspection team cadres outside the class room, he did not dare to move at all.
Finally, Li Yousheng gritted his teeth and said to Cui Changwu: "Cui Changwu, if you kill me, Li Yousheng, do you know how many Li family members will hate you?"
Cui Changwu said calmly: "If the Duke of Jin cannot control the hatred of the Li family, the Li family will become lawless, and the town and four provinces will collapse soon. I, Cui Changwu, believe that most of the Li family enforce the law impartially, and I believe even more
With Jin Guogong’s methods, I believe that Jin Guogong will bring the Li family into line.”
"For the sake of the cause of the Duke, it is okay for me, Cui Changwu, to bear some hatred that I dare not expose."
Soon, the cadres who went out to collect fingerprints came back.
"Yes, Chief, the fingerprints match. The murderer is a servant of the Li family!"
When Li Yousheng heard these words, he knew that his life could not be saved. He looked up at the ceiling of the class room and slumped down on the chair weakly.
