Just waiting for his words, after Han Xiao finished speaking, Si Cheng did not say what he wanted to do immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Let me ask you a few questions first to see your sincerity!"
Han Xiao nodded and waited for his question.
Si Cheng didn't ask a question immediately after he nodded, so he threw out the bait again and continued: "If you answer truthfully, I won't embarrass you anymore and let you go back to rest immediately. After all, this day and night will not be easy for you. I will bring your two sons and wife to reunite with you tomorrow, and then you can answer my questions after they arrive. Do you think this arrangement is feasible?"
At this moment, Han Xiao would not think that his difficulties were caused by them. Instead, he felt that they were planning for himself and for his own good. He said gratefully: "Thank you, sir. Just ask, I will definitely tell the truth."
"Who sent you to buy people's property?"
"Master Hou."
"Why are you sent to buy people's property?"
"The Third Master was already an official in the court at that time, but the Marquis was still idle and had nothing to do at home. The Marquis was afraid that the Third Master would take his position as Marquis, so he asked me to take my servants to seize the people's property, saying that as long as the Third Master If his reputation is ruined, he will not be able to serve as an official in the court. When the court does not want him, the position of the Marquis will not fall to him."
Han Xiao answered honestly, and Si Cheng also kept his word. He accepted it and said, "Brother Han keeps his word. I am not a person who goes back on my word. Brother Han will go back and have a good night's rest tonight. I will see my wife tomorrow." Later, we’ll talk about the rest.”
"Thank you, sir."
After the officer took Han Xiao out of the special chair, Si Cheng did not forget to tell him: "By the way, take Brother Han to the superior cell to have a good rest."
Han Xiao thanked me again: "Thank you for taking care of me!"
Who would have thought that the two of them talking to each other happily and looking like they were interrogating a case!
The next day, when Fang Jing went down to the office, he was blocked by Chen Lianghe, "I heard that you recently arrested someone from the Zhongyi Hou Mansion for interrogation?"
Fang Jing admitted generously: "Yes! Han Shuxian from Lanwan Village, Cangxi County came to Beijing to complain, saying that ten years ago his servant was instigated to buy people's farmland, and the purpose was to prevent him from serving as an official in the government. .”
"Then have you found out? Do you need my help?" Chen Lianghe continued to ask.
Fang Jing did not refuse his offer of help and said, "If necessary, I will definitely ask the Duke for help."
The two of them walked outside together, and Chen Lianghe asked again: "What favorable evidence can you find now?"
Fang Jing replied in a mocking tone: "They are still being interrogated. Once the interrogation is clear, I will tell the Duke!"
Seeing that Fang Jing didn't want to say anything, Chen Lianghe said half-jokingly: "Master Fang, you are too funny. You told me about our friendship, are you still worried that I will tell it to others?"
Fang Jing was silent and said: Our friendship is average.
Then I thought, it would be more convenient if he was there during the next retrial, so I invited him, "If the Duke is not busy, why don't you come with me to Dali Temple to sit down? It just so happens that there are some doubtful points in the case. Help with analysis!"
Chen Lianghe was satisfied now, patted Fang Jing on the shoulder and said, "I'm just saying, with our friendship, you will definitely not hide it from me."
Fang Jing nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely not hide this from the Duke!"
Chen Lianghe followed Fang Jing to Dali Temple, and happened to meet the Si Cheng who came to Fang Jing to report the interrogation last night. Seeing that Chen Lianghe was also there, the Si Cheng looked at Chen Lianghe with some hesitation, but Chen Liang said directly: " If you have anything to tell me, the Duke is here just to help us with the case."
Chen Lianghe: When did I say I would help you with your case?
Si Cheng did not hesitate after hearing Fang Jing's words, and reported the truth: "Han Xiao has admitted that Marquis Zhongyi ordered him to seize the people's farmland in order to frame Mr. Han."
"But my subordinate promised him to bring his wife and children into the cell to avoid being assassinated."
"This is easy to say. From now on, you will take people to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion to ask for the person, and say that the suspect's family members will also be interrogated. If they ask about the case, you will say that Han Xiao has admitted that he did everything, and now he is still It is necessary to bring family members for interrogation. If family members also participate,
If you agree, we will investigate the crime together. Fang Jing explained.
"yes!"
After Si Cheng retired, Fang Jingcai said: "The case in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion has been basically investigated, and Han Shuxian was indeed wronged." Then Fang Jing told the investigation of Han Shuxian's case, as well as the witnesses and physical evidence currently found, and Chen Lianghe was the same. As soon as he said that, he also told Han Shuxian about the arrangements for the homeless people he had taken in before.
After hearing this, Chen Lianghe was not surprised at all. Ordinary people still have property disputes at home, and families like theirs would have even more competition for it. He was quite impressed by Han Shuxian's righteousness, "He is dedicated to serving the people."
"When Han Xiao's family receives the news from the Yamen, Han Xiao will be able to sign a confession and confess. After catching the real mastermind behind it, the official will be able to clear his name."
"At that time, I would like to ask the Duke to show his favor and accompany me to the trial!" When Fang Jing said this, he also stretched out his hand to thank Chen Lianghe.
Chen Lianghe finally understood why he was so willing to tell the case to him. His emotions were digging a hole for himself and wanted him to accompany him in the trial. "I said, "Why are you so willing? Your emotions are trying to use me." !」
How could Fang Jing admit it, "I don't dare. No matter how loyal and righteous the prince is, the lower officials are not allowed to interrogate him at will. With the Duke here, the lower officials can be tougher."
Chen Lianghe didn't understand, so he said casually, "Next time Miss Wanwan comes to Beijing, don't forget to inform me, my boy still wants to play with her!"
"Absolutely! As long as Wanwan comes, I will definitely inform the Duke of Guo and bring the eldest son to my house to play together." Fang Jing promised.
"I have never seen a little person as smart as little girl Wanwan! Apart from her, my Zijian has never wanted to play with anyone. This is also fate."
"It's normal for the eldest son to like to play with her. She is a little teacher in Lanwan Village, and she is very good at taking care of children." After that, he added, "You will know that she takes care of children after he comes out of Murong Brother's Academy exam. How awesome is it!"
"I remember that his elder brother Murong is not very old. Is he here to take the college examination?"
Fang Jing: "Although age is related to learning, in the presence of geniuses and smart people, even a young age can do well in learning."
"This little brother Murong not only participated in this college examination, but also ranked first in the county and prefecture examinations. If he also ranks first in this college examination, he will be Xiao Sanyuan."
Although Chen Lianghe himself can't read books and doesn't like to read too much, he also knows that he can take the college examination with the first place in the county examination and the government examination at a young age. It is conceivable that his talent is extremely good. Of course, this must be I have paid a lot, otherwise I would not have such good results.
