Yang Wuhui knew that this was the case. Before he arrived in Luzhou two years ago, Xu Zhiyuan and Qin Shaoan had used this method to create many unjust, false and wrong cases.
However, Wang Qingping's identity was somewhat special after all. Presumably, they only wanted to capture him for trial and did not dare to torture him.
Xu Zhiyuan was not a corrupt official, otherwise Yang Wuhui would not have helped him.
It's just that my brain is not very bright, and I still have some great achievements.
He was not considered a disciple of his mentor Bao Gong, but he was favored by his mentor during the scientific examination, so he regarded himself as his mentor's student.
Yang Wuhui followed Qin Shaoan and the government servant to the government office and met Xu Zhiyuan.
Xu Zhiyuan is a little tall and fat, and his mustache at the corners of his mouth reveals a hint of shrewdness.
He saw Yang Wuhui's arrival and hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Yang, you are here!"
When Yang Wuhui saw Xu Zhiyuan, he raised his hands and bowed: "What do you intend to do, the prefect, by summoning me here in such a hurry?"
Xu Zhiyuan smiled and replied: "Brother Yang is so smart, he should know what I want to do!"
Yang Wuhui understood: "You want to interrogate Wang Qingping?"
Xu Zhiyuan nodded: "There are almost no clues now. Wang Qingping must be interrogated before we can know what to do next. Besides, he falsified letters and indeed concealed something. This matter is irrefutable and does not allow him to quibble."
Yang Wuhui thought for a while and thought: "Although the Wang family is in decline, when Mr. Wang was alive, one of his disciples had already reached the position of minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although he has ignored the Wang family these years, if he just used this If you interrogate Wang Qingping, I'm afraid that person's face will be ruined."
Xu Zhiyuan looked at Qin Shaoan. Qin Shaoan was also innocent. How could he know such a thing.
And here, Yang Wuhui also had a slight smile on his lips.
Xu Zhiyuan is still the same Xu Zhiyuan, he is very happy with his achievements but cautious at the same time.
After all, it is understandable that he is only forty years old this year. If he still wants to go to Bianjing, he will inevitably have to deal with officials from the Ministry of Personnel.
The Minister of Civil Affairs is a fourth-rank official who is in charge of deacons, dispatching and other tasks.
Although the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is not the head of the Ministry of Personnel, it is still easy to control Xu Zhiyuan, the prefect of Luzhou.
After all, Luzhou is just a small state, and the prefect of Luzhou is only a sixth-grade official.
It is said that one level of official seniority can overwhelm others, but the Minister of Civil Service is four levels older than Xu Zhiyuan.
Xu Zhiyuan looked at Yang Wuhui again. Seeing Yang Wuhui chuckle, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't care what background he has behind him. Since he is involved in the case, even if he is behind the royal family, I will Get to the bottom of it.”
Yang Wuhui gave a thumbs up: "Master Magistrate, you have courage!"
Still following the old rules, Yang Wuhui sat behind the screen in the lobby, and Xu Zhiyuan sat in the interrogation position in the lobby.
Xu Zhiyuan was shocked, and the yamen servants in the yamen suddenly sobered up.
"Take Wang Qingping with you!"
Wang Qingping was brought up by two government officials. He was neatly dressed and had not suffered any crime.
It can also be understood that Wang Qingping is only a suspect after all, not a criminal. In addition, his identity is indeed special and he must be distinguished from other arrested people.
Wang Qingping walked into the lobby, his eyes a little panicked.
This does not mean that he is a criminal. He has never seen such a battle before, so it is natural to panic.
Xu Zhiyuan slapped the scarecrow again, and Wang Qingping was so frightened that he knelt down.
He shouted: "Master Magistrate, the villain is wronged! The villain did nothing, why did the Master arrest the villain?"
Yang Wuhui's voice reached Xu Zhiyuan's ears from the screen: "Ask him why he forged letters!"
Xu Zhiyuan understood: "Wang Qingping, I would like to ask you, you must recruit her quickly and truthfully. Why did you forge a letter and say that your wife wrote a letter and returned to her parents' home."
Wang Qingping was stunned, his eyes even more panicked.
"Sir, where do we start with this?"
At this moment, Xu Zhiyuan knew what to say without Yang Wuhui's teaching.
Xu Zhiyuan took the letter and rebuked: "Bold Wang Qingping, the ink stains and yellowing of the paper indicate that this letter was written half a year ago, or even longer. But you told me that I was sent to investigate the case. Yamen, it is said that this letter was written by your wife who ran away from home, how can I explain this?"
Wang Qingping was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Xu Zhiyuan suddenly said: "I heard that you owed a lot of gambling debts outside. You said that you would use your wife to pay off the debt, but your wife refused to obey, so you killed your wife, right?"
When he said this, Xu Zhiyuan was also a little proud.
I have learned a lot from following Yang Wuhui in the past two years. When people are uncertain, catching him off guard may have unexpected effects.
Wang Qingping's eyes were confused for a moment, and he quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, I didn't kill my wife! Hongluan and I are very affectionate. The housekeeper at home knows it, and yes, Uncle Zhong knows it. I will definitely not kill her. It belongs to my wife. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Uncle Zhong, yes, ask Uncle Zhong!”
Behind the screen, Yang Wuhui felt that Wang Qingping seemed to be in a state of self-hypnosis, as if someone had taught him to say this.
If someone really taught him to say this, it could only be that loyal uncle.
But Yang Wuhui had seen this person before, and he didn't look like someone with great wisdom.
Could it be that I saw it wrong?
At this time, Xu Zhiyuan asked in a low voice: "Brother Yang, what should I ask the next question?"
Yang Wuhui had no choice but to reply: "Ask him why he went to look for his wife after she had only been away for a few days. In the past, when Mrs. Zhao returned to her parents' home, he would pick her up at least a month later."
Xu Zhiyuan looked at Wang Qingping in the hall again: "Wang Qingping, I learned from your wife's brother that in the past, your mother-in-law would stay with her for more than a month before you went to pick her up. Why did you pick her up this time? Within five days, you immediately rushed to Chao County. Is it because you knew that if it took too long, someone would know that your wife had not returned to her parents' home, but was killed by you, right? "
Wang Qingping shook his head: "No, no, that's not the case. After my wife and I quarreled, it was Uncle Zhong who woke me up by scolding me, so I chose to go to Chaoxian County to pick up my wife. But I didn't expect that my wife He disappeared, so I rushed back overnight to report the case. Yes, that’s true. Sir, all of this has nothing to do with me! I also want to find my wife and know whether she is dead or alive! "
Thinking of this, Wang Qingping, a grown man, burst into tears in the courtroom.
Yang Wuhui, who was behind the screen, was also lost in thought.
Could it be that he had fallen into a misunderstanding from the beginning? When he heard that Wang Qingping was a gambler, Yang Wuhui subconsciously determined that he had a lot to do with the matter.
Because as a gambler, nothing will be surprising.
But Wang Qingping's performance was indescribably weird.
Just like, even though he is a gambler, he is a good person!
