Wei Chong waited for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late and Cai Xianqing hadn't come back yet, he knocked on the table in anger: "Damn...this guy has been dishonest several times!"
He didn't wait any longer. He calculated with his fingers that the reply from the Ministry of Punishment was about to arrive. He stood up and went straight to the prison.
It got dark early today, before curfew, but lights were already lit everywhere. Just as Wei Chong walked to the prison door, the firelight shone slightly around him.
"Who?" The soldier in front of the gate stopped him with his gun.
'Ye Yongjia is still evil and wants to prevent me from entering...' Wei Chong thought about it and pushed the sergeant away with a look of boredom: "Wei Chong, General Secretary of the Sixth House. Go away!"
This soldier stood still like a stone statue, but he pressed Wei Chong's arm with his backhand: "You can't hold back for too long..."
The latter couldn't break free, so he said angrily: "You, how dare you do this!"
Seeing him struggling desperately, the soldier did not dare to bully him too much, so he waved his hand and said: "Get out!"
Wei Chong turned his hands and neck, glared at the soldier fiercely, and then walked slowly inside.
"Prison head, has the criminal department issued the approval?"
"Secretary General Wei is still worried about me?" The jailer raised his head and looked at the secretary in front of him, "The soldiers sent by Prefect Ye came forward, and the reply was in my hands."
Wei Chong was overjoyed: "Prison leader, your hands are really fast. Let's take a look."
The prison head turned around and called out a jailer. The jailer held several volumes of documents and placed them directly on the table.
Wei Chong looked at it several times and couldn't help but smacked his lips and said: "Okay, okay! With this, Chen Counselor can come out! Without further ado, I have to go to the Lu Mansion to ask for the reward from Duke Yue, and you will be indispensable then. of."
After hearing this, the cell leader's eyes seemed to glow with two golden lights, and he hurriedly found the key and opened the door of Chen Tong's cell.
"Chen Tong, your case has been overturned." As soon as Chen Tong was escorted out, the guards on the left and right drew their swords and cut off the ropes tied to him.
"Secretary Wei, can I go out?" He staggered a few steps and held Wei Chong's shoulders.
"Yes, everything is a misunderstanding," Wei Shuban took his hand away in a pleasant manner, "I will take you back to Yue Mansion. You must say something nice so as not to betray my good intentions..."
Chen Tong was about to reply when he heard the sound of footsteps and the noise of people outside. It seemed that many more people had arrived. His heart suddenly turned frightened, and his face turned yellow and white.
Wei Chong also tugged at his collar nervously, but quickly returned to his normal state: "Chen Counselor, you don't have to be afraid. I am working for Mr. Lu. Ye Yongjia will never, never dare to hurt a hair on my head." , he waved his hands and asked two jailers to accompany him to escort Chen Tong out of prison.
Wei Chong walked to the door and saw a pair of door panels ajar. A few rays of cold light shone in from the outside, and only tiny dust particles could be seen dancing in the air. There was no shadow of people, let alone any bright firelight. Wei Chong was puzzled, and repeatedly motioned for everyone to step back. He tiptoed over and leaned against the door. No one could see him, no sound could be heard, and everything was quiet.
'Everyone is gone? ' Wei Chong thought like this, breathed into the palm of his hand, and gently opened the door.
Just when everyone was unsuspecting, many torches suddenly gathered from all directions, and the clouds of fireworks enveloped the place in clear sky and daylight.
Swords and guns stood in front of Wei Chong, and a strong figure suddenly stood up: "Wei Secretary, I'm afraid your fate will come to an end today."
Wei Chong took a closer look and saw that it was Jiang Tian who was on patrol.
He hurriedly bowed and said: "Chiang patrols, why does he have to set up such a big formation for his subordinates?"
"Go with me and you will know everything later." Jiang Tian returned the greeting.
"Speak clearly if you have the ability!" Wei Chong's expression changed drastically, and he almost asked.
"There are too many cases of corruption and perversion of the law in the book office. Do I need to pick one? It's too many to write about." Jiang Inspector responded with a faint sneer.
"Master Ye can throw me away at any time if he wants, but not now!" Wei Chong was so angry that he trembled with anger at these words, "Chen Ziyue is from the Yue Mansion. If you take him back, Master Lu can take yours." Life! Besides, the approval document from the Ministry of Punishment is here, it is written clearly, who dares to make mistakes!"
"It's useless to talk more. I just wanted to see who has a stronger fist! Come on, arrest Wei Chong and bring him to court for trial!"
Before Wei Chong could react, several soldiers rushed up from the diagonal stab, tied his hands behind his back, strangled him tightly with hemp rope, and sent him to the Yamen.
Jiang Tian remained where he was and sent someone to arrest the prison leader, accusing him of being an accessory and interrogating him together with the principal offender. Chen Ziyi was thrown into prison again and was still dealt with according to the original case.
"Wei Chong, kneel down!" Ye Yongjia slapped the tree, which made people's ears buzz.
"Young Wei Chong will not do anything illegal!" He looked like he was not going to kneel down and shouted injustice.
"Hit!" Jiang Tian gritted his steel teeth until they were about to break. Before Ye Yongjia could give the order, he had already thrown the order to the ground.
There were people from the Inspection Department on both sides. They all hated Wei Chong deeply. They hurriedly picked up water and fire sticks and beat the yamen servant hard. The beating made Wei Chong scream and roll around like a pig.
"Stop it first, stop it first." Ye Yongjia was really afraid of beating him to death, and things were not easy to handle.
Everyone dropped their weapons one after another, and looking at the bruised Wei Chong, they finally let go of the bad energy they had accumulated in the past.
"Principal criminal, they used force, so I will use words to silence you with real evidence. The witness - Cai Xianqing."
Cai Xianqing strode into the courtroom, lifted up her robe, and immediately knelt in front of the magistrate's case: "The common people worship Lord Qingtian."
Wei Chong looked at Cai Xianqing beside him in disbelief, his eyes full of hatred, as if he wanted to tear his body apart.
"This guy went to great lengths to retract Chen Tong's confession. He was able to manipulate such a serious case just by making up his imagination." Cai Xianqing took out the confession sheet from his arms and spread it out to show everyone, "Take a look. , Wei Chong is just a clerk and a slave, but he can hide the truth... Mr. Ye, not only must this matter be determined in detail, but all his previous actions must be investigated to the end!"
"Is this true?" Ye Yongjia asked knowingly, and glanced at Jiang Tian specifically.
Jiang Tian came out immediately: "Your Excellency, when Wei Chong went to interrogate the case, he brought seven of my men with him. They will definitely be able to prove it."
"It can be found here!"
"Here!" Seven people came out, all standing with their fists clasped.
"Is what Cai said the truth?"
"Yes. Our brothers followed this slave and saw that nothing he said during interrogation was true. They blatantly told the prison boss that they wanted to give money to the Criminal Department so that Chen Tong could be released from prison safely."
Everyone turned to look at the cell leader, who was so frightened that he cried and kowtowed: "Yes, yes, yes..."
"Chief culprit Wei Chong, what else do you have to say to make excuses!" Ye Yongjia asked indignantly.
"Damn you!" Wei Chong was extremely angry. He rushed towards Cai Xianqing, but was easily dodged. People on both sides hurriedly grabbed Wei Chong, but his manic mood could not be stopped.
