I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 390

With the strong testimony of Cheng Haiping, and the long table with one corner cut off from the grocery store, Master Yao looked at the frightened shopkeeper Hong coldly, "Come on, drag Hong Xing down here!" Hit the top [-] boards again!"

A moment later, before the twenty boards were over, shopkeeper Hong who was dragged up by the arrest had already confessed.

Chu Qianshi looked fiercely at shopkeeper Hong who was kneeling on the ground and signed the pledge, wishing he could step forward and kill him. Of course, what he hated the most was Cheng Haiping, who betrayed him, and the culprit, Zhan Feiyu.

After quickly reading the statement, Lord Yao handed the statement to the clerk at the side, "Give it to Lord Zheng and the others for review."

"Your Excellency, you can just read it, and you don't need to show it to me." Commander Xie said in a cold voice, and there was nothing he could do about Chu Qian's matter.

Master Yao didn't force it, and after Mr. Zheng read it, he put the confession of shopkeeper Hong on the public case, and when the 100 taels of silver note as physical evidence was brought back from the bank, all the evidence would be sealed up and reported to the public. After the imperial court, it is estimated that Chu Qianshi could not escape the end of a decisive decision.

Zhao Tongzhi came back soon, and the treasurer of Dingyuan Bank came with him.

"My lord, this is the 100 taels of bank note that Hong Xing deposited in the bank that day. This is the account of the bank." Zhao Tongzhi personally sent the physical evidence to Master Yao's official case.

The 100 taels of banknotes belonged to Zhengtong Bank, the largest bank in Longzhou. The shopkeeper Hong was the shopkeeper of a sundry store in Suzhou Prefecture. It stands to reason that there would be no banknotes from Zhengtong Bank. I think this banknote was brought from Longzhou by Chu Qian. The ones that came over were handed over to Cheng Haiping, and then into the hands of shopkeeper Hong.

"Cheng Haiping, did you take out this banknote that day?" Master Yao picked up the banknote, and everyone in the courtroom could clearly see the dried blood in the lower left corner of the banknote.

"My lord, it's the bank note that I used to buy tung oil." Cheng Haiping agreed.

The big shopkeeper of Dingyuan Bank also confirmed that the bank note was deposited in the bank by shopkeeper Hong, so that all the witnesses and evidences were matched.

Although the fate of Chu Qian's matter was already doomed, Commander Xie suddenly said, "I don't know anything about Chu Qian's plan to burn down the government office. You must have known about it, Zhan Feiyu, but you didn't report it in advance. Secretly gathering evidence."

Commander Xie's face suddenly turned serious, and he asked angrily, "Zhan Feiyu, didn't you ever think that because of your personal enmity, if Master Yao and Master Zheng hadn't rushed back that day, Chu Qian's incident would have come true?" Burn down the government office, how many innocent lives will be lost in vain? Zhao Tong knows that they will all die!"

Zhao Tongzhi's expression remained unchanged, he was upright and upright, and it was Chu Qian who planned to set fire to the government office, so Zhao Tongzhi would not blame Zhan Feiyu.

But as soon as Commander Xie uttered the words of sowing discord, Zhao Tongzhi's two colleagues and a few catchers changed their faces. After all, no one wanted to be used as bait by Zhan Feiyu.

If a fire really broke out, the thousand catties of tung oil would be poured around the government office. Under such a fire, Zhan Feiyu would be able to escape from the fire with his skilled followers, but what about them?Maybe he would die on the spot.

Commander Xie stood up, pointing at Zhan Feiyu and scolding, "Zhan Feiyu, it's in vain that you have read the sage books to do such a heartless thing! Chu Qian imprisoned your maid, and you took him for revenge. Zhao Tong knows that their lives are a trifling matter, so what is the difference between you and a murderer who carelessly ignores human lives? The life of your maid is precious, but Zhao Tong knows that the lives of these court officials are nothing in your eyes?"

"Thank you Commander, be careful with your words!" Lord Yao stopped him with a look of concern.

Master Yao and Commander Xie are also colleagues. They don’t have too much contact with each other on weekdays because of official business. Master Yao also knows that Commander Xie is not as bold and rough as the outside world rumors. Stabilize the position of the head of the command department.

But Master Yao really didn't expect Commander Xie to be so eloquent, and his words would ruin Zhan Feiyu's reputation. The people in the Suzhou government office only thought that they might die in the fire, so they resented Zhan Feiyu fish.

But if these heart-wrenching words are spread, outsiders will think that Zhan Feiyu is ruthless at a young age. He dared to risk the lives of people like Zhao Tongzhi in order to deal with Chu Qian. It is really rare for him to have a vicious heart!
Zhan Feiyu is only ten years old now, and he is only a young scholar. If it is a few years later, when he goes to the capital and has the support of a teacher named Gu Xueshi, once someone opposes her, will Zhan Feiyu use any means to deal with him? to death?
Not to mention the sage's benevolent government, but to say that in the future Zhan Feiyu's imperial examinations, the chief examiner will be able to dismiss Zhan Feiyu because of today's incident, otherwise why would scholars cherish their reputation so much.

"In the past, Pang Cong and the three became tigers. Today, Commander Xie makes something out of nothing. In terms of his ability to turn right and wrong, Commander Xie is the No. 1 in the Daqing Dynasty!" With a sneer, Zhan Feiyu looked directly at the pretentious Commander Xie with clear eyes. Make.

Zhan Feiyu looked at Lord Yao and defended himself: "Before the incident happened, I had been studying in the inn and did not go out. You can send someone to ask the innkeeper and the assistants."

As for Commander Xie, who intentionally poured dirty water on him to slander him, Zhan Feiyu said again: "As for Cheng Haiping, he just found his way back after he lost his way. Could it be that in the eyes of Commander Xie, all the officials in the command department can only help evildoers?"

snort!Commander Xie let out a cold snort, but did not speak, but Cheng Haiping, as Chu Qian's confidant, if he hadn't testified, even if Mr. Yao had sided with Zhan Feiyu, he would not have been convicted of Chu Qian's crime.

"Zhan Feiyu, if Cheng Haiping can betray me today, he will definitely betray you because of his power in the future, so do it yourself!" Chu Qianshi grinned grimly, staring at Cheng Haiping with gloomy eyes, "One time of infidelity, Do not use it a hundred times!"

Zhan Feiyu looked at Chu Qian speechlessly for such a simple provocation method. He ran rampant in Longzhou all these years. Apart from relying on the second prince and the Min family, he was also deliberately indulged by Commander Xie. That's why he's so insane.

If Commander Xie wants to plan something, he only needs to use the knife of Chu Qianshi. Even if the Dongchuang incident happens, Chu Qianshi can be used to take the blame. As for Commander Xie, it is at most a crime of negligence.

Mr. Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Zhan Feiyu, tell me how you found the physical evidence."

"Returning to your lord, after the incident, Chu Qian was imprisoned by lord Yao, and I stayed in the government office with two followers." Zhan Feiyu was not sure about lord Zheng's intentions, but his questioning this time could make him Clear yourself up.

"The reason why this bank note can be found is because Madam Qian is the owner behind the Dingyuan Bank, and Madam Qian informed the shopkeeper Hong's habit of depositing and withdrawing money."

Before Qian Shipeng died, these high-ranking adults in the court did not necessarily know about the merchant Qian's family.

But after Qian Shipeng's death, Mrs. Qian came to Suzhou Mansion. Mr. Yao and the others had read the file, so they naturally knew about Mrs. Qian, and also knew that Mrs. Qian had some contacts with Zhan Feiyu.

The shopkeeper of Dingyuan Bank also spoke at this moment, "My lord, because shopkeeper Hong comes to the bank to deposit money almost every few days, not only grassroots, but many merchants in Suzhou Prefecture know the habits of shopkeeper Hong."

"As soon as the news of Chu Qian's burning of the government office came, Cao Min and others were shocked, and the tung oil happened to be bought from Shopkeeper Hong's grocery store. Cao Min thought that Shopkeeper Hong had withdrawn 50 taels of silver before, and then deposited it 100 taels of silver, and the timing was too coincidental, so I informed the owner."

Madam Qian knew about it and told Zhan Feiyu, so following this clue, she naturally found Cheng Haiping.

"Back to my lord, the Lord of the Forbidden Dragon Guard has found out about Beizhi, and I dare not hide anything. Before I came to the court, I had never met Miss Zhan." Cheng Haiping's words picked Zhan Feiyu out, and the Forbidden Dragon Guard found out How dare he hide it?

Not to mention that Cheng Haiping was just following orders, but that Pang Tongzhi, who was taken away by the forbidden dragon guards, was imprisoned in the Suzhou government prison for the past few days. The time to confess has been confessed.

After some interrogation, Chu Qianshi's crime of premeditating the burning of the government office was confirmed. As for him not to do it?The Daqing Dynasty was able to impose penalties in the trial of the case. Before that, shopkeeper Hong also confessed after being beaten for more than ten times.

What's more, the witnesses and material evidence are conclusive, and if Chu Qian refuses to speak about the matter, it will only increase the flesh and blood.

As for Commander Xie's accusation that Zhan Feiyu knew that Chu Qian was going to set fire to the government office but did not report it, because of the lack of evidence, and the partisanship of Master Yao and Master Zheng, it naturally became nonsense.
