I promise

Chapter 542
Many unexpected things happened today, but this one is the most shocking.

The others hadn't reacted yet. They were beaten to pieces, and Wang Ziweng, who was lying in the corner, was the first to jump up, his legs shaking like chaff, pointing at Zhu Sheng and Chen Jingxi, stammering: "You, you... You, aren't you two already dead?"

The two walked in and bowed to Chang Qian Buddha.

Chen Jingxi turned around suddenly, his eyes bulged, as if he had hanged himself that day, stared at Wang Ziweng, and said sadly: "The grievances in the world are not over, and the underworld is not left behind. Wang Ziweng, you and I work together , give away the blood-stained money, can you sleep peacefully at night?"

Wang Ziweng suddenly collapsed, waved his hands and shouted loudly: "It's not me! It's not me! I didn't harm you, I was forced too! I was forced!"

Chang Qianfo said: "Bring him here!"

An iron guard stepped forward, grabbed Wang Ziweng by the collar, lifted it, and threw it into the middle of the hall.

"Bang" sounded again, and a young man in a silk gown was thrown in directly from the door.A purple bamboo folding fan flew out in response to the sound, and fell to the ground with a "snap". The fan was torn in two with great force, and unfolded an ink painting of flowing streams and chaotic rocks, which was quite skillful.It is the painting "Qingxi Ruanshitu" by Qi Daoshan, a painter of the Liang Dynasty.

The young man was Wang Minghuan, Wang Ziweng's nephew.

Then Li Zhe strode in.

Chang Qianfo looked at Wang Ziweng coldly, and said: "Prince Weng, you said that the man in black found you and asked you to mix the brown scale fern into the body of the western medicine storehouse on the day before the civil uprising." , yes or no?

Prince Weng fell to the ground and trembled, thinking to himself: "It's not me, it's not me."

Li Zhefei kicked Wang Ziweng over and shouted: "I'm asking you something, stop pretending to be crazy!"

Wang Ziweng told him to kick him so far that he hit the wall, his eyes burst out with gold stars.Covered in blood and ashes, he was extremely embarrassed, but he was awake.His eyes flicked back and forth between Zhu Sheng and Chen Jingxi, and he realized whether they were human beings or ghosts, and some color returned to his pale face.

Li Zhe repeated Chang Qianfo's words again.

Prince Weng replied weakly: "Back to my son, it was... the day before the civil uprising."

Chang Qianfo stared at Wang Ziweng, and said softly: "I'll give you another chance, tell the truth."

There was a trace of fear in Wang Ziweng's eyes, he hastily lowered his head, not daring to look at Chang Qianfo, struggled for a long time, and said through gritted teeth: "Everything I said is true."

Chang Qianfo was a little disappointed, and slowly looked back, saying: "You don't remember, let me tell you. On the seventeenth of last month, Chengbei Hongyun Pawn Shop accepted an eight-inch agate plate, and the pawn was Nephew Wang Minghuan. This agate plate was brought back from the Western Regions by Brother Li Tong the year before last, and was given to Director Cheng, who will pass it on to you later, am I right?"

Wang Ziweng's palms were sweating, he should: "Yes."

Chang Qianfo flicked the pawn ticket in his hand, and continued: "In just six days, from April 23th to April 31rd, my nephew went to the Hongyun pawnshop one after another, and the Luoshang Dianxing pawned a total of 300 pieces of clothing and goods. 23 taels of silver. From April [-]rd to the end of the month, there were small scams one after another.

On the second day of this month, Wang Minghuan suddenly took money to two pawnshops to redeem 40 items for sale.The next day, Yu Deyue Zhai raised the price with others, and bought a purple bamboo folding fan at a high price. In Wangjiangxuan, I bought a volume of handwriting written by Mr. Lu Qimian, a famous scholar of this dynasty, and it cost 400 taels of silver..."

Prince Weng fell limply to the ground.

The ensuing interrogation went very smoothly.The confession of Wang's uncle and nephew was almost the same as what Huo An verified.

The people behind the scenes first started with Wang Minghuan and lured him to the casino. First, he was allowed to win for several days in a row. After Wang Minghuan tasted the sweetness and increased the bet, they joined forces to make Wang Minghuan lose everything. Not only did he spit out all the money he won in the first few days, but he also owed a large amount of gambling debts.

Wang Minghuan stole things from home to pawn, the number of times was too high, Wang Ziweng was aware of it.

Unable to bear the pleadings of his widow, relatives and nephews, and fearing that this matter would be spread, which would damage Wang Minghuan's reputation and future, Wang Ziweng dared not mention a single word to the people in the court, so he scraped together money to pay off Wang Minghuan's debts.This also caused dissatisfaction among his wife and daughter, making the house restless, and still unable to fill the hole in the gambling debt owed by Wang Minghuan.

Seeing the interest bills tumbling day by day, the uncle and nephew were very anxious.At this moment, someone came to the door and placed a heavy order, asking Wang Minghuan to copy a batch of paintings and calligraphy as usual.

At this time, Wang Minghuan was like a drowning man, when he saw a straw, he just stretched out his hands to grab it, and he didn't even think about whether there was any fraud in it.Naturally, he agreed without thinking.After handing over the calligraphy and painting the next day, I used the money I got to pay off my gambling debts.

I thought this was over.

Unexpectedly, on the third day, Wang Minghuan was walking on the street when he was suddenly arrested by officers and soldiers. It was said that Wang Minghuan and a group of antique dealers who sold fakes made a batch of fake calligraphy and paintings, and the paintings were sold by the younger brother of the emperor's new favorite concubine, Concubine Rong. The emperor's brother-in-law bought it and offered it to the palace, but was spotted by the court painter on the spot, which aroused Longyan's fury and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

Wang Minghuan is a scholar. He was a good citizen for more than 20 years, and suddenly he became a felon who offended the emperor. How could he not be frightened? , invite him out respectfully.

Dao was a big man in the imperial court who heard about this and felt wronged by Wang Minghuan. After seeing the paintings he copied, he greatly appreciated his talent, so he pleaded for pardon for him.Of course, Wang Minghuan is not completely exonerated, and we have to wait and see the aftermath.

Since then, the uncle and nephew of the Wang family have been firmly held in the palm of that "big man".

Through the words of the long history, the "big man" knows the operation and personnel arrangement of the Western Medicine Store like the palm of his hand.

The day before the Western Medicine Store was stolen, Chen Jingxi's youngest grandson, Chen Xiang'an, and Zhu Sheng's youngest son, Zhu Changting, were kidnapped. The gangsters threatened the lives of Chen Xiang'an and Zhu Changting, and asked Zhu Sheng and Chen Jingxi for a batch of clover herbs.

At the time when the plague was rampant, clover was in short supply as a medicinal herb, apart from Huairentang's East and West Medicine Store, such a large amount of clover could not be found in Chuzhou City.

Instigated by the long history, the prince Weng and nephew appeared at the right time to dissuade Zhu Sheng and Chen Jingxi from asking Jiang Yue for help.

Zhu and Chen didn't dare to risk the lives of their children and grandchildren, so they had no choice but to take the risk and use their positions to steal medicinal materials from the Western Medicine Storehouse.

The next day when the theft happened, Prince Weng Yiling led Zhu and Chen, who had been arguing endlessly, to the conference hall and asked Chang Qianfo to adjudicate the matter.

Then, the day before the civil uprising in Chuzhou, Na Changshi found Wang Ziweng again and asked him to mix the brown scale fern into the medicinal materials to be decocted out of the warehouse the next day.Although Wang Ziweng followed suit, he was tortured by his conscience the next day and ordered to cut off the body mixed with brown scale fern... The uncle and nephew were interrogated separately, and the confessions were consistent. When it is true.

The trick was a trick, but the mysterious so-called "big man" went around such a big circle, poisoned the prince and Weng, and let Zhu and Chen steal the medicine. What is the plan?But it is confusing.
