Chencang County is located in the Guanzhong Plain and belongs to Fufeng County.
It is also the place where the drought is most severe.
Most people in Chencang County chose to leave their homes and embark on the road of exile.
During the drought, the official position of Chencang County Magistrate was really in danger.
At the end of the day, I will get a low grade in next year's history department evaluation.
In this case, the Liu family not only failed to find a way to retain the official position of Chencang County Magistrate.
Instead, he took a group of government officials and servants to the Wang family compound to intimidate and induce him.
Is this normal?
unusual.
Very abnormal.
wrong.
Who said that the Liu family didn't find a way to keep Liu's father as the county magistrate of Chencang?
The thing that Liu Shi'an came to threaten and induce was obviously the key to whether Liu's father could secure the throne of Chencang County Magistrate.
Thinking about this, Xu Yi couldn't help but become more interested in what Liu Shi'an said.
He became more and more certain that what Liu Shian was talking about might bring a glimmer of hope to the situation.
"Let me ask you, what did you go to the Wang family to ask for today?"
Xu Yi's eyes were like lightning, staring into Liu Shian's eyes.
"I......"
"I......."
Liu Shian hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't say a complete sentence.
It is not difficult to see from his expression how much Liu Shian is struggling in his heart at this moment.
"Ask the heart."
When you get to the Western Region Prison, you can't just say it if you want to.
Seeing Liu Shi'an's inner struggle, Xu Yi gently asked his heart, intending to help Liu Shi'an make a decision as soon as possible.
"yes!"
The leader of Questioning Heart nodded in agreement and quickly picked up a torture instrument with a different shape.
The pace is much faster than last time.
It was precisely this sharp contrast between slow and fast that destroyed Liu Shian's last psychological defense.
"Don't come here! I said! I said!"
Seeing Wen Xin pressing closer and closer, Liu Shian yelled in horror.
"Ask the heart."
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, and Leader Wenxin quickly retreated.
"After all, don't lie to me. I believe you don't want to experience those tortures yourself."
Xu Yi chuckled, slowly walked towards Liu Shian, stretched out his hand and lifted Liu Shian's chin.
Although there was a smile on his face, in Liu Shian's eyes, it was nothing more than the most terrifying smile in the world.
"It's... it's... it's to get the relics left by Zhou Qiping."
"In those relics, there is... evidence of my father's crime..."
Liu Shian said slowly as if he was resigned to his fate.
"Evidence of your father's crime?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly: "If I remember correctly, before Zhou Qiping was imprisoned, he teamed up with the Criminal Department to arrest forty-six officials."
"If he still has incriminating evidence in his hand, why not hand it over together and catch them all in one fell swoop?"
Obviously, there must be something inside that Xu Yi didn't know about.
At least, the inside information will never exist in the files.
"I don't know about this. I only know that my father's order to me is to obtain incriminating evidence no matter what."
Liu Shi'an shook his head. It was obvious from his appearance that he didn't know what was going on.
"Ask the heart."
Xu Yi waved his hand, how would he know if Liu Shian was pretending if he didn't test it.
"yes."
Wen Xin stepped forward again, this time several times faster than the previous two times.
The sense of oppression brought to Liu Shian also increased exponentially.
"Don't!!! Don't come over!!!"
"I really don't know! I really don't know!"
"If I hide it, I will be struck by thunder and die badly! I really don't know! Don't come here!"
Seeing the leader of Wenxin walking towards him quickly, Liu Shi'an instantly yelled with fear on his face.
I couldn't control my body and wanted to run back.
Unfortunately, the body tied by the rope could only struggle in place twice.
"Okay, step back."
Xu Yi kept watching Liu Shian's reaction from beginning to end.
Seeing that Liu Shian didn't seem to be cheating, he ordered to stop the leader of Wenxin.
"How do you know that the incriminating evidence is in the Wang family?"
Xu Yi stared into Liu Shian's eyes again and asked slowly.
"Zhou...Zhou Qiping is an orphan who grew up eating the food of hundreds of families."
"The Wang family...the old man is both a teacher and a father to Zhou Qiping."
"If...if the evidence of crime is really left behind, it must...must be in the Wang family."
Liu Shi'an gasped for breath, and almost blurted out the word "old guy" in the middle of the sentence. Fortunately, he responded in time.
After a while.
Xu Yi asked a few more questions and then waved his hand slightly and said, "Just keep him in custody."
"yes!"
Leader Wen Xin nodded, and then two Wen Xin came in and put Liu Shi'an down from the shelf.
"I said everything! Let me go!"
"Please, let me go. I really told everything I know."
When passing by Xu Yi, Liu Shian wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy several times.
Unfortunately, without Xu Yi's order, even if he wanted to kneel down, he couldn't.
Xu Yi frowned slightly from beginning to end, obviously thinking about something.
He simply ignored Liu Shian who begged for mercy.
In the eerie secret room, Xu Yi was the only one left in an instant.
Zhao Shou and Leader Wenxin silently guarded the left and right sides of the secret room door.
"Huh~!"
After a long time, Xu Yi let out a heavy breath.
With Liu Shian's confession, instead of becoming clear and simple, things became increasingly confusing.
If that criminal evidence existed, why did Zhou Qiping just join forces with the Criminal Department to arrest forty-six corrupt officials?
Moreover, among these forty-six corrupt officials, there are only a handful of people with real power.
Is it because the evidence involves too much? It was so big that even Zhou Qiping didn’t dare to reveal the matter.
Or did Zhou Qiping just find some insignificant evidence, but he already had the object of suspicion in his heart.
Do you want to use forty-six officials as bargaining chips to force the people behind the scenes to reveal their flaws so that you can catch them all?
If this is really the case, then the energy of the people behind the scenes will be terrifying.
Not only did Zhou Qiping not get what he wanted, but he was also manipulated by the people behind the scenes.
He was directly trapped to death on the execution ground.
"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out."
Xu Yi shook his head and stood up slowly with a sigh.
Of the two guesses, Xu Yi is more inclined to the second one.
But, unfortunately, all this is just his personal speculation without evidence.
And how can speculation be used as evidence of guilt in court?
"Sixth Master."
"little Master."
Seeing Xu Yi walking out of the secret room, Zhao Shou and leader Wen Xin quickly saluted and greeted him.
"Interrogate all the others."
Xu Yi waved his hand and ordered.
No matter whether it is useful or not, since they are here, no one can be let go.
"yes"
"Little master, are you going back or not?"
The leader of Questioning Heart nodded in agreement and then asked.
"Go up there and take a breath. After the interrogation, go directly up to find me."
Xu Yi glanced at the gloomy Western Region Prison. If you stay in this environment for a long time, people will really go crazy.
When Xu Yi led Zhao Shou out of the underground secret room.
A series of interrogations with strong characteristics of the Western Regions officially kicked off.
