Wei Chong was seen rambling here and there, almost tearing the yamen servant's clothes, and kept yelling something. Such an out-of-control scene made it impossible for the interrogation to continue.
"First take the principal and secondary prisoners back to the cell to rest, and then retrial on another day. Adjourn the meeting!" Ye Yongjia hurriedly tapped the wood three times before retreating with Chiang Kai-shek.
When they arrived at the study, Yongjia took him to sit down and discussed: "At this point, no matter how crazy that guy pretends to be, it won't hinder our search. It's just about which direction to attack the two parties, but one question."
"what do you mean?"
"We should attack from both ends to prevent any party from gaining any benefit. It's time to engage in ten thousand parties." Ye Yongjia said.
"Otherwise." Jiang Tian persuaded him bluntly, "Chen's case is already very clear. If we continue to ignore it and instead attack all parties, it will give Lu Fangxuan the opportunity to make up excuses, and he is even more afraid that this will inflame the two parties. The party has united again, and they have so many people that it is difficult to attack. Qi Zi is a big problem. He participates in everything in a high-profile manner and does it himself, so he must be stained with bad things. If Mr. Ye takes this opportunity to die in Zha Yue Mansion, he Lu Fangxuan will lose a layer of skin at the very least!"
"Qi Zi is indeed a weakness that can be exploited." Ye Yongjia nodded slightly, "Okay, as you say."
Yesterday's trial in the Yamen Hall caused a sensation inside and outside Nanjing. Within a day, the news had reached the ears of various big shots. The most angry person among them was Lu Fangxuan.
"Bastard!" Lu Fangxuan's eyes were splitting, and he suddenly kicked the table away in front of the two leaders Zheng and Qi.
"Brother Lu, calm down..." Qi Zi, who was usually arrogant, also felt a little guilty and his temper was obviously restrained.
"It's a great situation, what do you think Party Liu is going to do to interfere? He has to bite us non-stop!" Zheng Shiyan said loudly, his face flushed with anxiety.
"Commander Qi, I can't help you for the trouble you brought upon yourself. Now that we are all under the control of others, the only way is to enlist the help of tens of thousands of parties, but I think it is difficult." Lu Fangxuan gradually calmed down and glanced at Qi The latter was trembling, but he only promised.
"It's hard for Commander Qi to show up now. Shi Yan has been to Wan Mansion many times and is familiar with several members of Wan Dang. Maybe he can fight hard for a good alliance." Zheng Shiyan stepped forward and bowed.
"Okay." Lu Fangxuan looked up to the sky and sighed, "I just don't know if we can still succeed after the previous breakups... You all should disperse."
Qi Zi was sweating profusely and didn't even dare to raise his head. He bowed his head and bowed before walking out.
"Leader Zheng!"
Zheng Shiyan turned around and saw Qi Zi rushing over, his expression much better than before.
"Commander Zheng, there are some things I don't want to say in front of Mr. Lu," Qi Zi said with a smile, "You know. The matter was urgent at the time, and I had to do that. I had no other intention. But I have lost my mind. Mr. Lu’s trust, if something like that happens again, the consequences will be disastrous..."
Zheng Shiyan was at a loss: "Please tell me clearly, what happened? I have fought side by side with Qi Gong for more than ten years. If it is not an act that is harmful to nature, I should help you get out of your predicament."
Qi Zi was greatly moved. He held his hand and said, "Thank you in advance for your leadership! What I am talking about is that during the mutiny in the past, Duke Lu was trapped outside the city. In desperation, Qi had no choice but to give his sword to him. Liu Dang showed his surrender and finally gained peace in the Yue government. Shi Xiushen was a member of the imperial court and was said to have an old relationship with Ye Yongjia. If he brought my sword to bear witness to that bullshit and framed the charge of "intending to bribe the superior", then The whole government will be implicated, Master Lu cannot help but doubt me and Party Liu..."
Qi Zi suddenly realized that he was afraid that outsiders might overhear, so he quickly interrupted: "No need to say it, I understand that this is not your fault. You can go to Shi Xiushen to ask for the sword. If you succeed, I will help you hide your itinerary. Destroy the sword by the way to avoid trouble later; if you fail, I will hold the government office for impeachment for you without letting Mr. Lu know about it, how about that?"
Qi Zi almost knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Zheng is really a loyal leader! I believe in you, very much!"
"Then go quickly. Don't let Ye Yongjia get there first and sue you."
Hearing Zheng Shiyan's kind words of advice, he quickly bowed twice, mounted his horse and galloped quickly.
Wei Chong was pushed hard and woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes half-deadly and saw Inspector Jiang squatting in front of him, looking at him like he was looking at prey.
"Hey, you're awake?!" Jiang Tian dusted off the dust on his trouser legs, stood up and sneered, "If you're not crazy, please continue telling us, what did Qi Zi of Yue Mansion ask you to do?"
After hearing this, Wei Chong's eyes suddenly widened as big as copper bells, with streaks of blood protruding from them. He roared and threw Jiang Tian down. Fortunately, the jailer had quick eyes and quick hands and stopped him immediately.
"Let me tell you, your sin is not worthy of death. If you want to seek death, just feel free to make a fuss. I'm watching you." Jiang Tian said coldly.
Wei Chong was startled, dumbfounded for a moment, and sat back.
'Thankfully he is still afraid of death! 'Jiang Tian breathed out secretly, feeling relaxed and happy. "Okay, can you talk?" he asked.
"Where... where to start?" Wei Chong finally made a weak sound from his dry lips.
"The day I came back from Lu Fangxuan."
"Okay. Those days are long gone. I..."
Wei Chong then explained all the illegal things he did in the past, including how he curried favor with the Yue government, how he reported on Qi Zi, which led to the confrontation in the academy, and how he now accepted orders from the Lu Party and rehabilitated Chen Zi.
"How much money did Lu Fangxuan reward you?" Jiang Tian asked carefully.
Wei Chong gritted his teeth and kowtowed: "I don't remember clearly, but I have about ten thousand taels of silver. In addition, there are no less than a hundred jade treasures as gifts..."
This shocking number shocked even Inspector Jiang. He coughed a few times, adjusted his mood, and continued to ask: "Your communication with Yue Mansion relies on Qi Zi. Are you aware of Qi Zi himself?"
"This..." Wei Chong couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw that he was asking for answers.
"Spit it out immediately!" Jiang Tian slapped the table and stood up, his veins bulging out, and said angrily, "You killed the innocent people in Donkey Skin Lane, and you also killed Ma and Mao, two of my subordinates. You deserve a thousand cuts." Thousands of pieces, torn into pieces! Since I have protected you from death, if you still dare to cover up and conceal anything, you will not be able to die a good death!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wei Chong had never seen anyone so angry. For fear that he would make some wrong decision, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Then what the hell do you say!" the jailer who wrote the article couldn't help shouting.
"Qi Zi, Qi Zi has seven houses in Nanjing, and there are three river houses next to Qinhuai. He has numerous wives and concubines, all of whom are given silks, satins, gold and silver jewelry. According to Chen Zi's confession, he drinks and has fun every day and spends money Wudu, I really don’t know its origin..." Wei Chong was trembling all over and slowly told everything he knew.
