Today there is no day off, but each yamen will also leave people on duty. The person on duty in the Criminal Department is Chief Fang.
result--
Something big happened.
When Director Fang trembled and told the story of Mr. Liu's poisoning and death in the dungeon under Mu Anzhi's death gaze, his green official uniform was soaked with cold sweat, especially when he heard Mu Anzhi's words: "Everyone can die from poisoning in the dungeon."
"Master Fang, you are living a good life." Master Fang's face turned pale and he almost fainted.
"Your Highness..." Du Changshi seemed to want to say a few words for Chief Fang. In fact, Chief Fang was wronged. He was not in charge of the dungeon, but he happened to be on duty today. Such a big thing happened, and
The criminal whom His Highness the Third Highness had ordered to watch suddenly died in the dungeon. He did not dare to go back and report to His Highness the Third Highness.
Du Changshi said, "Your Highness, I'd better go to the Criminal Department with Chief Fang first to have a look!"
"You go there with Hua Changshi! We must find out why Mr. Liu died! No matter who is involved, I want his head!" Mu Anzhi was so furious that Director Fang was already on the verge of collapse. It was still Du Chang who was involved.
Shi gently pulled him, and Fang stood up from the ground in shock, and resigned from the house with Du Changshi.
After leaving the door, Director Fang said with a sad face, "Who would have thought of this? Who would have thought of this? Mr. Du, I am really wronged."
Du Changshi whispered some words of comfort and left with Director Fang.
Mu Anzhitie returned to the inner house with a cold face. Li Yuhua was waiting for him. Seeing that he didn't look well, he sent the maid away and asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Mu Anzhi's dark face immediately changed to a smile, and he quietly told Li Yuhua, "This is a plan. I just scared Mr. Fang."
"What plan?"
Mu Anzhi sat on the couch and said, "Then Secretary Liu and Li Xu were imprisoned in the dungeon. This was what we had discussed. We would first imprison him for a few days and put a bluffing drug into Secretary Liu's food. Mr. Liu would eat it."
Immediately after that, he would foam at the mouth and fall to the ground. We would carry Mr. Liu out of the dungeon and pretend to be dead. We would scare Mr. Li and see if he could tell the truth."
Li Yuhua said, "First you put people in the dungeon. I thought you were just scaring them. I didn't expect there was a back-up plan."
"These two people used to work in the torture chamber, so I don't know if this last resort will work." Mu Anzhi said, "However, who can be locked up with a serious criminal for a few days, and their hearts will not be the same as before. If they don't understand the rules,
If you want to confess, you have to resort to some uncomfortable means."
Mu Anzhi patted his knees and said, "Eat first."
The original idea of drugging Secretary Liu to scare Li Xu was Du Changshi's idea. According to Du Changshi's idea, Secretary Liu had worked in the yamen of the imperial capital for twenty years and worked as a clerk in the execution room for ten years, that is,
It is said that most of the cases in the Imperial Palace passed through his hands. For a veteran criminal like him, it is impossible that he would not have noticed the disappearance of Zhu Jingyi.
Li Xu was young, only in his twenties, and had little experience. He had to endure a few days of hardship in the dungeon, and scare him with the story of Liu Si Li being "poisoned to death", which would help him open up a breakthrough.
As a result, to Du Changshi's surprise, he first opened a breakthrough with Secretary Liu.
Secretary Liu was drugged, and he was indeed frothing at the mouth at the time, but he was immediately taken out to use homemade methods to induce vomiting. There was no big problem with Secretary Liu, but the homemade recipes given to him to induce vomiting tortured Secretary Liu quite a lot.
The clerk was lying on the bare hard bed. His whole body was filled with a strong smell of shit. Secretary Liu was about to vomit out his heart, liver, intestines and lungs. His face was green and white, and his breath was as thin as a thread. It seemed that he would go underground soon.
The appearance of King Yama.
Hua Changshi said two words to Secretary Liu, "Key."
Liu Sili's facial muscles twitched rapidly uncontrollably. He still closed his eyes tightly. Hua Changshi knew that he had guessed correctly. The first letter used to compare Liang Junzi's handwriting was the physical evidence from ten years ago.
The key to storing old evidence like this is kept by Secretary Liu.
The physical evidence from ten years ago was exchanged. Whether it was done by Mr. Liu himself or not, the key must be the key.
Liu Sili's face showed signs, and Hua Changshi continued, "I have never been in Xingming, but I have heard of the tricks of old officials like you. You have been in the Yamen of the Imperial Capital for twenty years, from the lowest level to the lowest level.
From being a minor clerk running errands to being a clerk in the torture chamber, he raised his children and earned a good family fortune. What’s even more rare is that he didn’t leave any clues in anyone’s hands. This is not an easy thing.
Even if he was bribed, he should not have made such an obvious mistake as losing Zhu Jing's will. This is not a mistake made by an old criminal."
"I knew from the beginning that even if you were involved in the case, you were not proactive. With your sophistication, even if you didn't notice anything strange at the time, you would be able to recall something afterwards to make up for the loss of Zhu Jing's will, but you didn't provide any useful clues.
.I am more than ten years older than you. I understand very well how you want to protect that person." Hua Changshi stuffed a ball of cloth into Sir Liu's mouth, "Let's take a look at the person you protect next.
Is it worth it for you to take the blame for him?"
Liu Dalang inherited his father's business and worked as an errand in the Yamen when he was older. Now he is working as a subordinate official. When Liu Dalang came, it was almost dark. There were several white paper lanterns hanging in the dark courtyard of the Criminal Department.
Only a candlestick was lit, and a body covered with white cloth lay on the flat bed.
Hua Changshi sighed, "I have no rest today. We are not at the Yamen. The food and drink in the dungeon are not auspicious. Your Majesty unfortunately passed away. Please give me my condolences."
Liu Dalang wailed and rushed over, hugging the body and howling three miles away. He could hear it, "Dad, dad - wake up - I can't bear to be unfilial to you, dad -"
Li Xu, who was being interrogated in the west wing of the courtyard, looked pale, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and he seemed to be extremely cold, his teeth were chattering and chattering, "Liu, Liu, Mr. Liu is really dead!"
Du Changshi raised his eyebrows in an angry manner, "I am a high-ranking official, but I don't go home to sleep in the middle of the night. I can't joke with you!"
Liu Dalang's miserable cry reached the west wing. Li Xu shivered for a while, and Du Changshi said, "Okay, you're fine anyway. Just go back to the prison. I don't have time to waste time with you."
Now two soldiers were about to take Li Xu back to the dungeon. Li Xu wailed, "My lord! Since they attacked Liu Si, they will not let me go. If you send me back to the dungeon, don't you want me to die?"
!”
"It's okay, it's not me who died anyway." Du Changshi dusted off his robe leisurely, stood up and said, "You can die if you want, no one can stop you."
"No, no, no, no, I, I, I am willing to recruit!"
On the other side, Liu Dalang gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he said in a hoarse voice, "How dare you poison my father? I am incompatible with the person named Zhu!"
Hua Changshi ordered the scribes to make notes.
This matter does not have much to do with Secretary Liu. As Hua Changshi said, Secretary Liu is an old official and knows the importance best. This kind of slippery old official has always been quick and easy to say.
It was to give people some attention and gain some money during lawsuits. He must have done it, he must have done a lot. Maybe an old official who has worked in the yamen for twenty years must be an extremely cautious person.
You would never make such an oversight as losing an important piece of evidence, and now you lose the chair under your butt.
Therefore, Hua Changshi concluded that the loss of Zhu Jing's will had nothing to do with Secretary Liu. However, based on Secretary Liu's years of caution and sophistication, he must know something. If he could escape, Secretary Liu should escape as soon as possible.
It happened that he would rather eat in a dungeon than say a word.
Who could make Liu SiLi defend himself so hard and accidentally lose himself? It couldn't be another person involved in the case, Li Xuli. Li Xuli was not Liu Sili's son, but Liu Sili's son was also there.
Worked as a minor official in the imperial capital.
The purpose of resorting to this cruel trick now is not to deceive Secretary Liu, as such a method cannot be fooled by such an old guy. It is mainly to deceive Liu Dalang, and then continue to defraud Li Xu.
The close relationship between Liu Dalang and Li Xu was something that someone in the imperial capital told him. In addition, Liu Sili's second son was still three years young and his two daughters were already married, so it was unlikely that they would be involved in the case.
Sure enough, Liu Dalang explained everything. He was careless in making friends. He often drank with Li Xu, and once he asked Li Xu to take him to a brothel.
The woman fell in love with him and wanted to redeem her life, but his family was very tight, and his parents were in charge of the big money. He had only been on the job for a few years, and his private residence only amounted to a hundred taels.
Li Xu came up with an idea, saying that there were a lot of confiscated valuables in the execution room, so he might as well steal them and sell them. This was also what the execution room clerks often did. Liu Sili had done it before, stealing the pure gold items and replacing them with gold-plated ones.
To make it up, you basically exchange the fake for the real thing. As time goes by, no one will pursue it.
The key to store the confiscated items was with Secretary Liu. Liu Dalang was tricked by Li Xu and stole his father's key. Later, Zhu Jing's will was stolen.
However, the person who stole Zhu Jing's will was Liang Junzi, a well-known thief in the world. Chen Fuyin severely reprimanded Liu and Li Xu, and posted wanted documents all over the streets to arrest Liang Junzi.
Secretary Liu is such a sophisticated person. He had already heard about his son's selling off the confiscated land. He just thought that when his children grew up, they knew that making money was a good thing to live by. Unexpectedly, Zhu Jing's suicide note was revealed.
Regarding the theft, Secretary Liu interrogated Liu Dalang carefully at home. When Liu Dalang told the story, Secretary Liu was very angry and hated his son for falling into Li Xuli's trap.
The crime of stealing, selling and confiscating is a small crime, but if there is a crime related to stealing physical evidence, it will be over!
Fortunately, there was a Liang Junzi who took the blame. Liu Sili asked his son to keep quiet. He thought that the matter would just go away. Unexpectedly, the Zhu family girl refused to give up and took the case to the Ministry of Justice. Even the governor became a defendant.
, they, the people in the torture chamber, are even more inseparable!
Once Liu Dalang confessed, Li Xu had nothing to hide.
Li Xu had a gambling habit and owed a large amount of gambling debts. If someone provided money, he would do anything. He would pour tofu out of a bamboo tube and vomit it all.
What surprised Du Changshi even more was that Li Xu was very scheming and actually still had Zhu Jing's will in his hand. Li Xu gritted his teeth and said, "I only got a sum of money to give them the will. I held it in my hand.
It’s a long-term business!”
Du Changshi said, "You have such a long-term plan to make a living. What you do is not good, but you want to harm others. Now that you have this retribution, it is not an injustice."
A criminal was escorted back to the prison, but this time he changed to a cleaner cell. Liu Dalang didn't expect that the person who had been crying for a long time was not his father. The light and shadow were dim at the time, and the man was covered with a white cloth. Liu Dalang felt anxious for his success.
, he didn’t notice that he was crying to the wrong person. Si Li, who smelled like shit, scolded his son angrily, "You idiot! How did I tell you! You fool! It’s over this time!"
Hua Changshi also advised him, "I see, your son has not been raised in vain. If he sees that you are dead and still grits his teeth and refuses to say anything, then he is in vain as a son of man."
Secretary Liu was so angry that he cried. He didn't want to pay attention to Hua Changshi who had set up such a conspiracy, but he felt very happy in his heart. This son was not smart, and he was deceived all of a sudden, but in his heart he was filial.
His father's.
Du Changshi also admired Hua Changshi's plan and praised him, "Brother Hua, you are more knowledgeable and insightful than my younger brother."
Hua Changshi sighed, "Father and son are connected. Who can a smooth old official like Liu Sili ask him to risk his life and future to protect? They must be blood relatives."
As night fell and the stars in the sky shone brightly, the two of them came out of the execution gate and saw a carriage parked outside. Their servants had brought the horses. The carriage driver was a guard of the palace. The guard stepped forward and reported, "His Highness said
It will certainly be late when you two adults come out. If it’s cold today, don’t stop riding and ask me to ride a horse to pick you up.”
Hua and Du both smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Although it was a small matter, it was so considerate. The two of them made concessions. Hua Changshi stepped on the car stool first and got into the car, followed by Du Changshi. The car drove
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary car, but the inside is very comfortable. The car walls are lined with dark blue thick felt, and two glazed lamps are hung to illuminate the car. There is also a charcoal pot in the car to cool down the cold night in the late autumn.
All blocked out.
Neither of them were successful in their official careers, but at this time they both felt that following His Highness the Third Highness was actually a pretty good thing.
