Tao An's heart was shaken, and he looked back at Tao Donghai, who was kneeling and struggling.
Tao Donghai mouthed silently: "Don't say it."
Tao An almost collapsed.
Yan Qi made a decision immediately: "Okay, Tao An, since you still haven't recruited me and don't cherish the opportunity, don't blame Dahua for being ruthless in the law. Lord Governor, please take Tao An down for a while and wait to be beheaded." "
Zhao Qing was very cooperative: "Come here, take Tao An down..."
Tao An was scared to death.
The instinct to survive came to mind.
Tao An screamed, "No, don't take me down, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it all..."
Tao Donghai's face turned purple and he still wanted to talk.
Yan Qi flew out with one kick.
boom!
Tao Donghai's chin hook was kicked off and he couldn't speak even if he wanted to.
Yan Qi asked the officer to let go of Tao An, who was on the verge of collapse, and asked seriously: "Tell me, where did the Tao family's food come from?"
Tao An said: "It was snatched by Tokugawa Ichiro and his Japanese samurai."
Yan Qi angrily said, "Can you take responsibility for what you said?"
Tao An nodded vigorously: "Of course I can. Tokugawa Ichiro is obviously a representative of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, but in fact, he is still a Japanese craftsman. Most of the merchants in his hands are Japanese warriors. They robbed the food and had nowhere to sell the stolen goods. Let me sell the stolen goods."
After hearing this, everyone cursed loudly.
"The Tao family is really full of evil."
"Tao Dashanren? Bah, how ironic."
…
Yan Qi asked another crucial question: "Why did Ichiro Tokugawa go to your Tao family to sell stolen goods? Why didn't he go to the Deng family in Suzhou? Why didn't he go to the Song family in Jinling? The Deng family and the Song family are both big grain sellers. Their channels are wider than yours, isn’t that strange?”
Tao An also explained: "Tokugawa Ichiro's grain was stolen from the Deng family, Song family and other big families. How can I sell it to them? Furthermore, if I can contact Tokugawa Ichiro and do business of selling stolen grain, in fact, , and there are middlemen.”
"Middleman?" Yan Qi's eyes lit up: The key point has finally arrived.
Tao Donghai's chin was unhooked and he couldn't speak. He waved his hands and kicked his legs anxiously.
Yan Qi kicked him so hard that Tao Donghai's hands and feet became numb and he could no longer move.
Yan Qi urged loudly: "Tao An, you have explained well. You have served your crime well. Next, tell me quickly, who is the person who brokered the business between you and Tokugawa Ichiro?"
Tao An said word by word: "It's Judd!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone burst into laughter and the scene was in a state of excitement!
"It's actually Judd?"
"So, it's Juddao who is behind the scenes and harming the people?"
"Judd knew that Ichiro Tokugawa had stolen food, and even colluded with Ichiro Tokugawa to join forces with the Tao family to make fish and meat close to each other. Isn't this a dog official?"
…
Everyone made an uproar and cursed Judd angrily.
Yan Qi looked proud: "Tao An, that's well said, well said. Look, how nice is it that you tell the truth honestly? I tell you, you can't die now, are you happy or not?"
Tao An was relieved when he heard that he could not die.
However, Ding Shucheng, who was watching the excitement, broke into a cold sweat.
"Oops, I seem to have fallen into a trap."
Ding Shucheng finally realized that Yan Qi was interrogating the Tao family, but he aimed the eye of the storm at Juddao.
What is this called?
This is called pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud.
Interrogating the Tao family in this way is so different from interrogating Judd.
Yan Qi actually dug a hole for me here.
Damn it!
If Tao An is allowed to explain, Judd's crime will be confirmed and no one can save him.
Ding Shucheng immediately stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Governor, the matter is urgent. I need to escort Jia Dedao back to Beijing immediately."
Zhao Qing looked at Yan Qi without saying a word.
day!
Ding Shucheng is so depressed.
Zhao Qing actually listened to Yan Qi's words. You said that as the governor of a province, the future Minister of Rites depends entirely on Yan Qi. Don't you feel disgusted?
Ding Shucheng was speechless and could only look at Yan Qi: "Mr. Yan, it's getting late. I want to escort Jia Dedao to Beijing. Please express your position."
Yan Qi chuckled: "I support escorting Jia Dedao back to Beijing for trial. However, I am interrogating the Tao family's case. The Tao family's case confessed Jia Dedao's crimes. This is equivalent to a joint case. I will need to interrogate him later." Judd said, so as to testify whether Tao An's words are true."
"So, Ding Shuling, don't worry, let me finish the Tao family's case, and you can take Judd away before it's too late."
Ding Shucheng was so shocked that chills ran down his spine.
Paralyzed.
To put it lightly.
Once you finish the Tao family's case, Judd's accusation will be confirmed.
Can I still take Judd Road with me?
Do you think I'm a fool?
Ding Shucheng was furious and showed his official authority: "No, what I said must count. I represent Prime Minister Yang, just like Prime Minister Yang is here in person. Now, take away Jade Dao without delay."
Yan Qi asked Ding Shucheng: "According to what Ding Shuling said, they just wanted to take away Jiade Dao by force and ignore the Tao family's case? Just let the Tao family's fish-and-meat case go unnoticed? Anyway, everything is centered on Prime Minister Yang. , what Prime Minister Yang said is an imperial edict, and the rights of us ordinary people are bullshit, not worth mentioning?"
"Why……"
Ding Shucheng suddenly became the target of public criticism and was watched angrily by everyone.
He pointed at Yan Qi and hesitated: "Hey Yan Qi, don't blame me. I'm going to take Jade away. Why are you fanning the flames?"
"Am I fanning the flames?"
Yan Qi waved his hand: "Ding Shuling, open your triangular eyes and take a good look. Today, for the interrogation of the Tao family, thousands of people gathered in the Chenghuang Temple. What is it for? To give justice to the people."
"The Tao family stirred up troubles, causing the people to suffer. They were hungry, unable to eat anything, and the poor were ruined. They even exchanged their sons for food. Such a tragic tragedy was all caused by the Tao family."
"And now, the truth about my interrogation of the Tao family is about to come to light, and the whole people are eagerly waiting for it. However, Ding Shuling wants to take away important witnesses like Juddao at this extremely critical juncture. What are your intentions? You Do you still have the people in your heart? Are you a good official who cares for the people, or are you a mediocre official who is lawless?"
"Yan Qi, you...you...you actually..."
Ding Shucheng was slapped in the face by Yan Qi, like five thunders, his head was buzzing, and he leaned on the table with a grin.
Fortunately there was a table, otherwise, he would have fallen to the ground.
He was unable to refute Yan Qi's words.
The people held eggs in their hands and smashed them at Ding Shucheng.
Ding Shucheng was covered in egg yolk and looked in a miserable state.
If you want to hide, there is no place to hide.
"Guan Gu, do you want to protect Juade?"
"Do you really think that our people are easy to bully?"
"Ding Shucheng, you are really not a good person. I should have squeezed you to death just now."
…
Ding Shucheng was hit with eggs so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.
Although the eggs couldn't kill anyone, there were too many.
After being beaten for a while, I almost took an egg bath.
Ding Shucheng loudly begged for mercy: "Don't smash it, everyone, please stop smashing it."
Everyone didn't listen and continued to smash.
Ding Shucheng was fed up and had no choice but to beg for mercy from Yan Qi: "Master Yan, please let everyone stop throwing eggs, please."
