Wen Qinsang laughed angrily at his shamelessness.
Xie Xun glanced at him and said casually: "Don't be unconvinced. Don't say that you haven't graduated from Guozi yet. Even among those students who have studied at Guozi, there are a few who can immediately participate in such a big case. ?How many people can work with high-ranking officials of the third grade?"
Although what he said was true, Wen Qinsang still countered: "Is this how you deal with Miss Chen Er?"
"Originally, I wanted to deal with her like this," Xie Xun said calmly, "It's a pity that she doesn't take soft and hard, and doesn't take in oil and salt, so she doesn't have such scruples as you."
Wen Qinsang raised his eyes and looked at him: "So you persuaded the emperor to marry her and forcibly tied her to you?"
Seeing the hope flickering in his eyes, he couldn't help but joke: "With her character, do you think I can force her?"
Although he did force it, the price he paid was not small.
The hope in Wen Qinsang's eyes disappeared.
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows calmly, put the list in his belt, and said softly: "It is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. Do your best. This case will not end easily."
Watching his retreating back, Wen Qinsang couldn't help but begin to ponder the meaning of his words, but after just a moment, he laughed dumbly and said: He was deceived into working in vain again.
Xie Xun, who left Hepingfang, laughed and said: "You are still a little too young to fight with me. Work slowly, there is still a lot of work. The top students of Guozi School work efficiently. It only takes three months." , it’s only been two months and it’s about to be finished, not bad.”
After returning to Dali Temple and calling Wen Baolin's father Wen Chongshan, Xie Xun threw the list to him and asked him to take people to arrest them one by one.
After he left, Xie Xun squinted for an hour or two, then went to the dungeon to continue interrogating Song Fu.
Half an hour later.
Xie Xun came out of the dungeon with satisfaction and subconsciously called A Zan. After getting no response for a while, he remembered that he had left the capital to investigate the ranch overseen by Song Shizhong.
Shaking his head, he called two government servants and asked them to invite Tang Jisheng, the chief registrar of Taipu Temple, to Dali Temple.
After Tang Jisheng came anxiously, Xie Xun slowly asked him some questions about Song Shizhong. Tang Jisheng finished his answer tremblingly, but Xie Xun didn't tell the truth from the lie, so he let him go back.
On the second day, he asked the Yamen servant to summon him again.
It was still the same questions as yesterday. After he answered them anxiously, he still let him go without distinguishing between true and false.
On the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day... On the seventh day, Tang Jisheng finally knelt down and begged for mercy, and finally confessed that Song Shizhong had accepted bribes, bought and sold by force, and a series of other things.
After Xie Xun asked him to go back and think about whether there was anything else to explain, he took a carriage to the Song Mansion.
When Song Shizhong saw him, he forced himself to bow his hands and salute him in accordance with the rules.
After Xie Xun slowly sat down, he gestured: "Master Song, you don't need to see anyone, just sit down."
Song Shizhong put away his hand, stepped forward and made a pot of tea for him, then sat down on the chair opposite him, "It's not a good tea, please don't dislike it, Mr. Xie."
Xie Xun glanced at the tea and then looked at him, "How long has it been since we last met? Why is Mr. Song's hair all white?"
Song Shizhong smiled and said: "My hair is now white, and my energy is better than before."
"Then I'll be relieved." Xie Xun knocked on the tea table twice and said calmly, "Uncle Huang often told me that Mr. Song is a loyal minister. He abducted, tortured and killed young boys and girls must have been raped. I have been encouraged and told many times to find out the traitor behind Mr. Song no matter what means I use."
"I heard from Song Fu that Mr. Song's body is not very strong. I was afraid of what the innocent imperial uncle would tell me, so I never dared to come and visit."
"I really had no choice today, so I forced myself to come here."
Song Shizhong knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head in the direction of the imperial city and cried, "It's my veteran who betrayed the emperor's trust."
"As the saying goes, there is no greater good than knowing a mistake and correcting it." Xie Xun still said in a calm tone, "Since Mr. Song knows that he has betrayed the trust of the emperor, can he tell the mastermind behind it?"
Song Shizhong stood up and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Xie, the underground Colosseum..."
"Master Song should know," Xie Xun interrupted him, "When I investigate a case, I never take action until there is conclusive evidence. The fact that I can come to Master Song today proves that I have obtained part of the evidence. The remaining part , it’s only a matter of time before I find out. The reason why I didn’t find out everything and come to see Mr. Song..."
"Uncle Huang still cares about his relationship with Lord Song."
Song Shizhong said without any hesitation: "That beast Song Fu dared to harm the people. He should be killed or chopped into pieces. Mr. Xie, you don't have to show mercy. As for saying that there are traitors who instigated me to plan the underground Colosseum, I just ask God for help. Even if I have 500 courages, I wouldn’t dare to do such an unscrupulous thing!”
"It seems that Mr. Song doesn't care about the relationship between the emperor and his uncle at all." Xie Xun stood up, walked slowly to the door, and ordered outside, "Bring Tang Jisheng up."
Two yamen servants led Tang Jisheng, who was holding an account book, over.
Xie Xun said: "Bring the account book to Mr. Song."
Tang Jisheng lowered his head and handed the account book to Song Shizhong with a guilty conscience.
After Song Shizhong's cheeks twitched faintly for a few times, he looked at Xie Xun and said, "I wonder what Sir Xie means?"
Xie Xun raised the corners of his lips, "What does it mean? Mr. Song will know if he looks at the account books."
After Song Shizhong took a look at Tang Jisheng, he took the account book over with stiff arms, flipped through a few pages at random, and sneered: "Is this the evidence Mr. Xie said?"
"Master Song, there is no need to be anxious." Xie Xun raised the corners of his lips and signaled to Tang Jisheng, "You slut, why don't you quickly take out Master Song's token? Don't you see that Master Song is already impatient?"
Song Shizhong's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he looked at Tang Jisheng.
Tang Jisheng lowered his head, trembling hands, and took out a jade ring with a cry in his voice. He held it in both hands and handed it to Song Shizhong.
"The shape of this jade ring seems to have come from Yubaozhai," Xie Xun said slowly, "Master Song, do you need me to invite the shopkeeper of Yubaozhai over to see if this piece of shit is a forgery of Master Song?" What are you doing to slander Master Song?"
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I appreciate it." Song Shizhong took the jade ring firmly, "This jade ring is indeed mine, but it is not a token, but me..."
"Since Mr. Song admits it, let's take him down." Xie Xun interrupted him again, "Give me the evidence within three days. If all of them are true, I will keep my promise and spare your life." .”
Tang Jisheng responded respectfully.
After watching him go away, Xie Xun also stepped out of the threshold, turned around and said, "Master Song, have a good rest. I will come to visit you again in a few days."
Song Shizhong bowed and clasped his hands.
It wasn't until he was out of sight that he slowly straightened up and sneered sinisterly: "How dare you play tricks in front of me even if you don't even have full hair!"
Turning around, looking at the account books thrown aside, his face was instantly covered with a layer of frost.
Xie Xun was deceiving him, he knew it.
But it won't work unless Tang Ji wins.
