Chengjiangbao, far away in Leiyang, Hunan, is just triumphant at the moment. Since receiving Zhu's edict, it has become more and more unstoppable. Secretly: Now that the troubles in the court have been removed, and there is an uncle to take care of him, he can rest easy in the future. So, he spent all day drinking and drinking, and didn't ask about political affairs. Except for the search for beautiful concubines, they will not lead troops out of the city. The soldiers are happy to have their place, and they can't wait to stay in the city for leisure, they are really free from inside and outside, just like being in the fairy cave.
It turned out that since this kid took office, he bribed the governor left and right, said that the soldiers were few and the generals were outnumbered, and the strength was weak, so he could only defend the city, and it was difficult to fight. The governor then ordered him to hold on. So every time there is a bandit experience, Cheng Jiangbao will close the city gate, go to the wall to defend, wait for it to retreat, and then go out of the city to shout and chase, bluffing, so safe and sound, very little**. The bandits near and far are also well known, and they are given a nickname, saying"Honest pustules"。In this way, the traffic fortresses that control the line from the Xiangjiang River to Hengyang, Leiyang, and Bangxian have become deaf ears, and they are just empty decorations.
Unexpectedly, this kid was still not satisfied, whimsical, and he repeatedly reported his achievements and fabricated his achievements. This time I received Zhu Yu, and I was ecstatic to get a treasure, and I said that I had soared and risen steadily since then. is to take precautions, play with his wife and concubine in the back garden every day, hug left and right, and act wantonly. That is, there are military war reports, and they are all left behind.
On this day, the sun rose three poles, heard that the minister had arrived, this kid was overjoyed, and hurriedly set up a case to burn incense, and the whole crown was waiting, and in a hurry, he actually buttoned the buttons of the mending gown and uniform in a misplace, fanning up and down, just like two small flags, and he didn't know it.
Just listen to the proclamation of the Chin Cha Zhan:"Investigation of Leiyang County ordered Chengjiang to protect the thieves from suppressing, fabricating their military exploits, and bullying the king, and the crime cannot be punished. He also falsely accused the court officials, was bold, and could not be pardoned, so he was dismissed from the post of county commander and succeeded by Geng Mingyu, who was a tribute student. He was immediately escorted to Beijing. Chin this. "
When Cheng Jiangbao first heard it, his whole body sifted through the chaff, and he shook endlessly, and when he listened, his eyes turned up, and he was as soft as mud. Qin Cha was not polite, and ordered the staff to take Chengjiang Bao and stuff it into the prisoner car, and galloped all the way to the capital. I really wanted to be promoted yesterday and go to prison today. The plate is fully planned, but it is still difficult to escape. Cheng Jiangbao thought about it along the way, but he was shocked and didn't mention it, but said that there was another accident in the capital.
The inner courtier Chengcun saw that the Xing family was full of slaughter, and it was a foregone conclusion, and he was so excited that he laughed out loud in his dreams. His wife, Cheng, woke him up and asked why. Chengcun squinted his eyes, shook his head and said:"Remember Jiang Bao's involvement, right? It's all Xingdebao, the old thief, who can't get along with me, and he still wants to give me a color! and the cattle farm that I have worked hard to run for many years, I wanted to make a windfall, but it was realized by the old thief and ruined. This time he is all over the house, I'm afraid there won't be a single seedling left, it should be a great taste, can you still fight with me? "
Cheng was taken aback and said:"So, you impeached him? "Chengcun snorted disappreciatively"He is also to blame. "Cheng Shi was a little panicked and said:"Xingdebao is hateful, but our personal enmity can be slowly ended, you ** he is all over the house, there is no evidence, in case it is found out, how can it be good? "Cheng Cun simply put on his clothes and said:"It's really a woman's opinion, and it's all a fuss. If you want to add sin, why should you do it? Without such means, I am afraid that I will be kicked away by others. "Then his eyebrows fluttered, and he said the front and back passages. Cheng hesitated for a long time and said:"I'm afraid that the father and son of Xingdebao will not admit it to death, and there will be no real evidence in the house, wouldn't it be suspicious? "Chengcun smiled and said:"This is not to worry about, the old thief is used to being pampered, and once he is severely tortured, I am afraid that he will say whatever he wants, and if you don't believe it, he will make you believe it. "Turning his mind again, he muttered to himself:"Jiang Bao has to tell him to be careful. Although he had been taught to insist that the letter had been obtained from the bandits, he had not been strict in his tone, and he had to be careful with it. "
Sit down and revise the book. Cheng didn't dare to disturb and thought freely.
It won't be long, and it's dark. Chengcun suddenly stopped his pen, pondered for a moment, threw his pen up, and said to Cheng"The exchange of letters, written in black and white, is ultimately inappropriate, or word of mouth, without evidence, the export is self-eliminated, and in the end it will not happen to the east window. "Cheng listened to it, and he said very much. said:"Now the road is not as calm as in previous years, and the road in Hunan is far away, there are often bandits in the territory, and the official army strictly guards the sentry post, in case there is a mistake, I am afraid that the matter will be big. "When I think about it, I feel that I can't pass on the book. I also thought that Jiang Bao had always been obedient to him, and even if he had been instructed before, it was estimated that he would not easily export. So he found a firearm and burned the letter that had been written.
Wei Cheng's heart is always apprehensive, and he says to Chengcun:"You should also go to the criminal department to inquire and see the rumors. How can you not worry about such a big thing at all? "Cheng Cun reprimanded:"What a true woman needs to inquire about! Now the charges are convicted, and only ...... are to be made"Before he finished speaking, he saw the butler panting and bursting in, and said with a frightened expression:"Qin, Qin sent Liu Gonggong to arrive! "Cheng was stunned for a moment and said:"This"
Chengcun interrupted her and said:"What's this, what's so surprising! "Then he turned to the butler:"Go and set up the stove as soon as possible, and don't be slow. "The butler answered. Cheng Cun quickly put on the court clothes, stepped on the court boots, straightened the crown belt, and hurriedly walked to the main hall. Leaving Cheng alone to stay there like a wooden chicken, worried.
Sure enough, Cheng's worries were not groundless. Cheng Cun came to the hall, and when he caught a glimpse of Qin Cha's face was extraordinary, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and he was confused for a while, and stumbled and knelt down to receive the order. His eyes were wide open, and he listened to the sermon without breathing"After verification by the Criminal Department, the Minister of Internal Servants, Cheng Cunchun, was holding a personal vendetta and falsely accusing the Minister of Industry Xingdebao and his son Xingkui of deliberately plotting to assassinate him, with sinister intentions and bad influence. ordered Ge to go to the post of internal courtier, and rode a horse in the capital, and handed over to the Criminal Department for interrogation. Chin this. "
Cheng Cun was stunned for a moment, motionless like a clay sculpture, and knelt in a daze. He really couldn't have imagined that things would turn so fast, no matter how fast they were, they wouldn't be so fast! Qin Cha hugged forward from Wei Yi, took off his coral top crown, untied his mending gown, and Cheng Cunfang woke up from a big dream, shouting again and again"Treat unjustly! Wronged! "It seems to have made up for all the delays just now. Father-in-law Liu didn't buy it, so he locked it firmly, hugged him in front of him, and walked away.
The rest of the family servants in Chengfu were dumbfounded, all like headless flies, their expressions were panicked, and their hearts were pounding. When Cheng heard that he knew that there was a lot of luck and little luck, he screamed a few times, and he fainted, and all the family members came to see him, comforting him in every way, and he was very happy.
Cheng Cun was imprisoned, panicked, and heard that his nephew Cheng Jiangbao was also escorted, which made it even worse and almost collapsed. Only then did he regret the plan of the false accusation, but it was too late. Tossing for a day, Cheng Cun is exhausted and miserable. Until the evening, he curled up on the filthy grass and dirty mattress, tossed and turned, thought left and right, and muttered to himself:"The Criminal Department investigated my false accusations, but did not obtain real evidence, so I burned the handwritten book, and even if I copied it, there was no evidence. This arrest and imprisonment will be an attempt to deceive me into telling the truth, and then I will be convicted, and now if I confess, I will surely die. If you simply don't do it, you don't stop doing it, you will make a mistake, you will deny it to death, you will not confess, or you can get rid of it, even if you die under a big punishment, you can also save your family if you die. It's hateful that the Criminal Department is incompetent, and it didn't bend an old thief of Xingdebao into a trick! "Another thought:"At present, the only person who knows the inside story is his nephew Chengjiang Bao in custody, in case he can't hold ......"Chengcun thumped his head, and hurriedly muttered to himself:"No, no, he has followed me for so many years ......He won't. "Overnight, Chengcun seemed to wake up, dream, and delusional, upside down and upside down all night.
The next day, Fang was drowsy, but two torturers kicked open the iron door, raised their arms, and dragged them out. dragged to the lobby of the criminal department, pushed forward, and stumbled a few steps before he made up his mind. Rubbing his eyes, the torturers on both sides had dark and calm faces, and the furnace of the soldering iron was burning vigorously. Chengcun's sleepiness immediately flew out of the sky. I don't feel that my knees are weak"Plop"Kneel down and cry out for wrongdoing.
The chief judge, Le Bao, turned pale and said coldly:"Makoto not only dares to do it, but also dares to take responsibility. The punishment was not moved, but he shouted out first. Le doesn't know, where is the injustice of Lord Cheng, in vain? "Cheng Cun had to argue first"I have not falsely accused Xingdebao, although I have a long-term enmity with him, but it is a personal affair. As an imperial chamberlain, no matter how ignorant I am, I will not be so confused. The previous time my nephew intercepted a book, and when I saw that there was a sign of Xingdebao, I was afraid that it would be a big deal, so I sent someone to deliver it to me at a gallop, thinking that I could not slack off, and presented it to the saint, and the saint knew the most about this matter. The adults said that I made false accusations, but I was really wronged! "
Le Bao smiled and said"Makoto-sama is really smart, and he was confused for a while. That Miza is a book that is intended to imitate the handwriting of the great man, how can it hide people's eyes and ears? This is just a child's play, and Lord Cheng dares to think that he is relying on it and wants to trap a heavy minister. How can you hide it from the eyes of your ministers? "Cheng Cun was stunned, and hurriedly argued:"Master Xing and I have never been in the same relationship, and I have never seen his handwriting. Adults can hand the letter to Lord Xing and admit it, but he will know it when he sees it. "
Le Bao thought to himself: This is strange, this letter Xing Debao also said that it was his own handwriting, but he had never written this sentence. In this way, the man who imitates the handwriting is really profound. Therefore, sincerity has no fear, only the handwriting is counteracted. Le Bao then shouted"Hugh argued strongly, and after Lord Xing saw it, he immediately concluded that it was not a move, but someone did it deliberately. How did this epistle end into the hands of your nephew? Yesterday's trial, Cheng Jiangbao personally confessed that he did not capture a thief chieftain, and Leiyang confirmed the general and garrison, which was clearly your fabrication of nothingness and made a mistake out of thin air. As for now, if you don't bow down and confess your sins, what do you want? "
Chengcun was iron-hearted at this time, but he was afraid that there would be many branches, and he didn't dare to believe it, so he cried out. Le Bao peeped at his cunning, rushed to the crown angrily, pulled out the lot and threw it down the hall, and ordered him to take forty boards first. Chengcun had never suffered such pain, and immediately howled like a pig. stopped the cane and ordered the move, but only shouted that he was wronged, and there was nothing else to say. The torture continued. After the blame, the skin has already been opened, and the pain has been fainted twice. After waking up from the cold water, he still cried out to himself. provoked Lebao to provoke the sex, and ordered the messenger to burn with a soldering iron to see if he could move. How could Chengcun have ever seen such a formation? When he saw the red iron scorching towards him, black smoke was emitting, and he screamed in horror and fainted. The prisoners did not let it go, and they still made a mess, making a decent minister anxious and confused. Tong Chengcun woke up, but finally refused to confess, just yelled until he was hoarse and silent. It's completely a look of injustice. and all the servants in the hall could not bear to see it, and they felt pity. Le Bao saw that the prisoner had fainted again, and his fine eyes were narrowed, and he was afraid that he would give him his life first without evidence, and it would be troublesome to explain unclear in the future, so he ordered the trial to be suspended and withdrawn, and Chengcun was still in prison for a good life.
After Jiaqing took Chengcun, he searched Chengfu, but it was the same as the Ministry of Industry's Shangshu Xingdebao, and there was not a single piece of evidence related to the crime. It's nerve-wracking. Jiaqing secretly thought that Cheng Cun must have been framed, and according to the verification of all parties, there is no doubt. Since no evidence could be found, only torture was possible. At this time, it was reported that Shangshu Lebao of the Criminal Department asked to see him, and Jiaqing summoned him. Le Bao then gave a general account of the interrogation of Chengcun, and he couldn't help but be a little shaken, and said:"Cheng Cun refused to die, and before he was punished, he had already fainted several times. I'm afraid that I can't stand it again and will die in court. It is evident that sincerity and determination are determined to the end, torture is useless, and the trial is extremely difficult. In addition, his nephew Cheng Jiangbao couldn't stand the punishment and confessed to falsely reporting his military exploits, delaying the fighter plane, and arsonist negligence. Up to now, his uncle and nephew have been separated and have not colluded in confession, but the confessions are consistent, which can't help but make people suspicious. Either what is said is true, not a false accusation, this is very likely. Either there was a death covenant before, and only then did they dare to openly deny it, and it is unknown. "
Jiaqing was silent, and after a long pause, he said slowly:"This is not simple. Thinking about the two families of Cheng and Xing, the feud is very deep, and it is reasonable to repay each other. That Chengjiang Baoyuan was in Leiyang, intercepted the secret book, and judging from the battle of its overseers, it was full of loopholes and obviously fake. And to claim that the person carrying the book is dead, is it not a trick to die without proof? "Le Bao Dao:"However, his uncle and nephew confessed the same, and there was no leakage, and torture was not possible, so what could it be? "Jiaqing suddenly had an idea and said:"Since his uncle and nephew did not accept the hard sentence, he was so clever and soft, I am afraid that he could not refuse to accept it. "Lebao hesitated"The emperor means ......"Jiaqing smiled, stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced two steps, and said:"The confessions are consistent, the two do not know each other, and the confessions are inconsistent, and they can also be changed. As the old saying goes,'In the way of others, they will also govern their bodies', the most imperceptible, don't you understand what I mean? "When Le Bao heard this, he suddenly had an epiphany, his face lit up, and he said continuously:"Holy and sage, the minister will do it immediately. "Jiaqing then commanded:"You can only be cautious and to the point, and solve the case in one fell swoop. "Lebao took the order and left.
Cheng was in prison, and for several days, he had to be entrusted with the care of his friends, and the necrotic skin and flesh were cleaned and dressed in time, and most of them were quickly cured. Cheng Cun leaned against the damp wall, his consciousness gradually waking up, and he couldn't help but reminisce about the nightmarish encounter: the luxurious indulgence of the past had risen and fallen in just a few days, and it was completely destroyed, and his proud abacus was self-defeating, and he shot himself in the foot. However, now ......Chengcun was agitated for a while, and now he is in prison, and he can't help himself, and he can't escape the catastrophe. However, there is no conclusive evidence from the Holy One, it is just speculation, as long as you keep your mouth shut, you can fortunately avoid it. Chengcun muttered to himself, momentarily frightened, momentarily excited, and nervous, tossing to death. Intentionally or unintentionally, I thought of Cheng Jiangbao again, and seemed to find that he was hiding in the dim corner of the corner, with tears streaming down his eyes, signing and demarcating, and as if lying still, his breath was slight, and he was dying. When you gaze at it, you realize that it is an illusion. Chengcun came back to his senses in shock, and sweat was already in his hands. At this time, when the iron door sounded, two messengers came forward to escort Chengcun to interrogate him, Chengcun became more and more panicked, but he was still calm on the surface, and his voice did not move.
When the presiding judge Le Bao saw that Cheng was in custody, he was shocked and reprimanded:"Be bold and sincere, be a traitor, and the crime is obvious, and the official will be friendly with you every day, and he is unwilling to impose heavy punishments. Unexpectedly, you repeatedly used strong words, quibbled and denied, and did not know how to repent. Now that my nephew is still recognized, he has confessed, what else do you have to say? "At first glance, Chengcun was like a slap in the face, and he was stunned for a long time, and he wanted to speak and snort. In an instant, Chengcun noticed the gaffe, and panicked and shouted:"Treat unjustly! Since I have been in office, I have never dared to disobey rules and discipline and harm others, how can there be such a thing? is really wronged, please judge clearly, heaven and earth have their own axioms, how can they falsely accuse people of innocence out of thin air. "
Le Bao dismissed, and sneered coldly"Cheng Da claims to be innocent, but such a deceitful deed does not match. If Makoto is not wise, he is only afraid that his reputation for innocence will not be guaranteed, and he will be offended by one more level. "Cheng Cun didn't expect today's interrogation to be straight to the point, straight to the point, so fast, his mind was chaotic, and he almost couldn't hold himself. Listening to Le Bao's tone, he seemed to know everything about it, and he became more and more panicked and worried, his heart was weak and cold, and he was still stubborn and determined in his words, arguing:"My nephew and I are far away, and I have not heard from me, and I have never forged letters or falsely accused others. The offender just played according to the facts, and did not dare to add branches and leaves, and did not intend to be suspected and slandered, which is really wronged! "
Sincere and mournful, sincere, such as out of the heart, it is really ingenious, and I don't forget to beat a rake, which is even more self-satisfied. Seeing his tears, Le Bao couldn't help but be furious"Makoto-sama had to put on a show and justify himself. There is a way that if you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die, and you won't cry if you don't see the coffin, this official will temporarily give your nephew a confession, and you can do it yourself, lest this official use heavy punishment! "With that, he took out a piece of paper and threw it in the hall.
Cheng Cun trembled, and when he unfolded it, he couldn't help but be shocked, but when he saw the paper Cheng Jiang Bao said:"I have a grudge against Xingjiasu, and I have repeatedly taken the opportunity to attack. This false accusation was not initiated by me, but it was actually my uncle who was forced by the Xing family to find Xingda's handwriting, and others copied it, trying to relieve his anger. I was far away in Leiyang, and I didn't know it, but because of my uncle's secret envoy, I didn't dare to disobey and make this decision. Now I know that I have violated the discipline and the responsibility is light, and I dare not hide it in the slightest, but I only beg to be clear. "There is a Chengjiang Bao name signature.
Cheng Cun looked at it, his hands and feet spasmed, his teeth trembled, and he felt that the surrounding walls were squeezed by mountains and seas, and in an instant, the sky was spinning, flying up and down, his eyes were black, and he fainted from a suffocation as if he had been smothered. The page of the confession also fell away, like a pigeon with folded wings. The servants on both sides rushed up and rubbed for a long time, and the honest side retreated from the black threshold, opened his eyes, and shouted"Jiang Bao, you hurt me! "Choked up again. Le Bao had frost on his face and sighed"Be bold and sincere, now Chengjiang Bao confesses truthfully, and the evidence is ironclad, what else do you have to say?!"
At this time, Chengcun no longer has the stubbornness of the past, and the withered grass and trees are like them, and they are immediately fluttering and scattered, and they are defeated. When he was imprisoned, the only thing that Chengcun was most worried about was that he had not colluded with his nephew Jiang Bao, fearing that he would not know the benefits and risks, so he would confess directly. I didn't want to deviate this thin string that was easy to break, and Chengcun was completely paralyzed with the breaking of this string. Cheng Cun wept and communicated, and kowtowed to the ground, like a lamb in the pen, he had long forgotten to escape, so he confessed one by one. As for how to copy Xingdebao's handwriting and forge letters, how to instigate Cheng Jiangbao to use the help of bandits to falsely claim to have found secret letters, and so on, he did not conceal such matters, and he confessed from beginning to end, signed and detained, and then escorted back to prison.
It turned out that the false accusation of Xingjia has been deliberate for a long time. Suffering from no opportunity, there is no way to do it. After a night of leisure, I suddenly asked the secretary office about the progress of the recent increase in salt prices for salt merchants, and I couldn't find it left and right, and Chengcun was very surprised. Later, there was a secret notice from the doorman:"The bookstore goes out almost every night, and about the gambling party goes! "Chengcun was furious, and when he returned, he was sternly questioned, and the secretary saw that he was cunning, so he had to tell the truth that he was gambling with a group of idle servants in a circle, and all the prefectures had it. Under Chengcun's careful questioning, there were also internal servants of Xingfu, and his heart moved, and he muttered to himself:"If you can buy it, it will be of great use in the future. "So he forgave the clerk and gave him an explanation like this, and told him to do it.
The clerk is not punished, but is favored, and is naturally very happy. Whenever he approached Li Xu, the internal servant of Naxing Mansion, he often borrowed money and even gave it away. "Money can buy ghost grinding", or another"Money is a god"。Li Xu's rough internal service is naturally not comparable to God, and he can't help but be grateful to Dade, bow his head to his ears, and obey his words. Seeing that the time was ripe, the secretary asked Li Xu to pick up some handwriting from Xingde Bao. Li Xu felt that it was easy, so he often took out some discarded paper stickers from the paper basket and handed them to the book office. Xingde Bao ** knows what people do.
Chengcun saw that things were going well, and still ordered the clerk to check the handwriting, and promised a lot of money to let him practice. Coincidentally, there is one in the circle of gambling, and the secretary does not have to worry about recommending this colleague to Chengcun. Sincerity made it come to trial, and it was written, vividly, and sure enough. So he handed over five hundred taels of silver tickets, and told him to just study. This casino habitual apprentice, named Fan Congxiu, a native of Beijing, is determined to become famous because of his poor family since he was a child.
So he read poetry and books, was well versed in literature and science, learned rich in ancient and modern times, had spring and autumn in his belly, and was brilliant and talented. However, the officialdom is obscure, the examination room is also ugly, and there are many cheaters who buy the main exam. Although Fan Congxiu has a smooth article and is skilled, he is suffering from a lonely background and can't take a heavy courtesy, so the examiner ignores it. Therefore, he has been in the exam for many years, but he has never been named, and he has not even won a show. Fan Congxiu was disheartened, and his hopes of seeking a job gradually faded. So he wandered into the market, made some lowly livelihoods, and barely made ends meet. Yet"The one who is close to the ink is black", Hearing and seeing, I couldn't help but instigate it, and I actually mixed up with all the gamblers, made miscellaneous labors, and over the years, drunk and beaten, like a scoundrel. This time it has been reused by the Chengfu, dare not be sincere? Soon copied into a font, but when I saw the pen on the paper, one stroke at a time, it was the same as the book of Xingdebao. If placed together, it is indeed difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
At the time of Chen De's assassination, the interrogation had been completed, but there was no way to know, and the expected twists and turns were very unexpected. Cheng Cun secretly said:"God help me! "Then he thought that Chen Dezhi's trial was obviously flawed, such as involving Xingdebao's father and son, and fabricating a letter with that fake and genuine handwriting, it was enough to drag Xingdebao into the bottomless abyss, and it would be difficult to escape. And checking the handwriting during the interrogation can definitely decorate the eyes of the public and hide from the world. Because the handwriting is absolutely similar, the investigation is not broken, and the sincerity is confident and bold. After many plans, the Xingjia father and son were finally arrested and imprisoned, and the family property was confiscated.
Chengcun saw it in his eyes, overjoyed, and thought that he was done, and then he sat back and relaxed. At the beginning of the interrogation, torture had not yet been used, but the emperor became suspicious and did not teach and beat, but only searched slowly and investigated carefully. The paper is not hot, and the grievances of the two families in the past are like watching the fire, and they quickly found out their innocence, and Chengcun was dragged into the case by force. The most painful thing for Chengcun was that his nephew couldn't help but torture him, and he was weak and confessed, which ruined the whole plan and cost Qingqing's life.
Le Bao got the confession, and he was so happy that according to the confession, he arrested Fan Congxiu and brought him to justice, interrogated the secretary of the Chengfu Office, and Xingfu internal servant Li Xu. Fan Congxiu is still hanging around in the city, and he can get it as soon as he catches it. The Chengfu Bookstore naturally has wings and cannot escape. Three heads and six sides, no matter how cunning a person is, he doesn't dare to support me at all. So, at 1510, the bamboo tube poured beans and confessed.
Le Baolu actually confessed, signed and detained, and only then did Chengjiang Bao be retried. Why did you retry Chengjiang Bao? It turns out that this Cheng Jiangbao is also cunning and abnormal, no less than his uncle. After several interrogations, I couldn't hide the dereliction of duty, so I had to admit most of it. The only thing that is slandered and slandered is that it looks like it is difficult to argue, and if you are soft and hard, you will not admit it. Naturally, he also died and lived several times. Tossed the well-dressed Leiyang parents and officials to the point that they didn't know who scared whom when they encountered ghosts. But Cheng Jiangbao desperately held on, didn't know when he asked, and then shook his head when he asked, making the chief judge at a loss. "It's hard to buy money and God speaks", Chengjiang Bao is becoming more and more determined. This guy secretly thought: As long as he denies the false accusation and saves his uncle, his uncle will move around, even if he is detained, he will resist death, forgive the chief judge and have no handle to arrest, fortunately there is still a glimmer of hope for survival.
Suddenly hearing the trial, Cheng Jiangbao opened his eyes, shook the chains, and looked indifferent to the execution, waiting for him to drag on, quite arrogant. It's a pity that the steps are faltering, and I can't help myself. When he came up to the torture hall, he was majestic on both sides, and he was not afraid. The presiding judge, Le Bao, sat in the courtroom, saw the prisoner advancing, but he was not bluffing, but he only bowed his head slightly, his eyes seemed to be open, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking complacent and confident. But he was not in a hurry to speak, he slowly raised his gaze, looked at the prisoner, and said slowly"Chengjiang Bao,"He smiled"This official interrogation has given you several times, but you have repeatedly concealed it, and you have been tortured in vain, which is also very difficult for you. This interrogation is no longer up to you whether you recruit or not, so the case is ironclad and has come to light, and even if you deny it in every possible way, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn it around. Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. This official does not intend to use the heavy punishment again, and you can just admit it. Those who know the times are handsome, so as not to regret them for life. "
Cheng Jiangbao was already very surprised, after hearing this, he only said that it was him, and then he also kicked and knelt down to complain, inevitably with tears, only said that there was no such thing, please go to the Ming Investigation.
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Le Bao said:"If you are stubborn, such a treacherous person is really unfortunate to be from your sincere family. It is unreasonable, it seems that only by confronting you face to face can you be convinced. "
So he ordered the priests,"Spread the sincerity to the court. "The priest learns to shout in general"Spread the sincerity to the court. "The chains rang, but two torturers were seen carrying a prisoner like dry wood to the court. Cheng Jiangbao was stunned, and he couldn't help himself in a panic.
Le Bao Dao:"Cheng Jiang Bao, Uncle Ling has a real confession, what else do you have to say!?"The thin prisoner opened his eyes, looked at Dingcheng Jiangbao, and scolded loudly"Damn beast, you've made me miserable! "When Cheng Jiangbao heard this, he understood everything in an instant, and he fell like a mountain, plummeting, and cried:"Uncle, you're so confused! Why did you make a move, you are so confused! "As soon as he finished a sentence, he choked and fainted. Cheng was full of resentment, and he was about to vent, but he suddenly heard his nephew's words, and he was stunned for a while.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Le Bao reprimanded the torturer to take Chengcun and treat Chengjiang Bao. After some tossing, Cheng Jiangbao came back to his senses, but he was too weak to kneel, collapsed on the ground, his hands and feet twitched, and he cried mournfully for a long time. Le Bao waited for his sanity, so he ordered his pen and ink to confess, Cheng Jiangbao no longer had the slightest push, while crying tears, while writing, his fingers trembled, and the paper was also spotted. He easily finished writing the confession, signed it, and passed out with a pen. Seeing that the matter was complete, Le Bao ordered the prisoner to be taken to prison and withdrawn from the court.
Jiaqing was very satisfied with the interrogation and trial, so he handed over the Xing and Cheng families to the ministry. Soon, Zhu issued an edict and said:
After three orders and five declarations, he also personally investigated the matter of opening a circle to gamble, but the ministers did not forgive me for my heartfelt suffering, and the yang and yin disobeyed, and there were side things. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Xingde Bao seriously neglected to supervise, the family gambled, attracted the internal and external scattered people, never knew, and the money lending in the house, there was a violation of the law, it was really a responsibility, even if the dismissal was half a year of money and food, and the three-eyed dazzle was removed, the official was still reinstated, and his son Xingkui was also reinstated as usual. Li Xu, a member of his family, ganged up to gamble, but even fornicated with Cheng's family, conspired to trap the master, and was extremely guilty of a heinous crime and was sentenced to hanging. The inner servant Cheng was framed with grievances, with sinister intentions, almost reversing black and white, losing his hopes, and being hanged according to the law. Laiyang County ordered Chengjiang Bao to neglect his duties, arson with thieves, once failed to serve soldiers and horses, and also detained court officials, his deeds were corrupt, and he was hanged according to the law. Accomplices Fan Congxiu, Chengfu Shuban and others were instigated by the lord to specialize in non-business and become Ili to fill the army. The rest of the people do not study deeply, but they are willing to take this as a warning, and do not act with private opinions in everything. I have made a special edict to confess his deeds, so as to attract the attention of the public, and then he will be a traitor, and he should be severely punished. ”
This edict was issued, the ministers of the ministers knew that Jiaqing was strictly rectified, so everyone checked their own points, strictly bound the door, and the atmosphere was still fair for a while.
