A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 709 Not so easy to defeat

Soon, the prison guards prepared paper and pens, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment who were tied to the stakes said something, and the prison guards memorized it.

Before, he sent officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to capture suspects and seize stolen salt from grain shops. Later, the Ministry of Criminal Justice rioted in prisons, prisoners with severe sentences escaped from prison, and caused fires, all of which were ordered by someone above.

Princess Yin Wu also did not help the suspect escape from prison. Instead, he sent someone to throw the suspect in front of the gate of the palace, and then sent someone to arrest him when the palace brought the suspect in for rescue.

Someone wanted Princess Yinwu to die in the riots.

Princess Yin Wu and the suspect of smuggling and smuggling salt were buried together in the prison, and the case ended smoothly and satisfactorily for them.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that someone is plotting, but now it is another matter to hear the official in charge of the criminal department say it himself.

Dali Siqing looked serious and asked, "Who instructed you to do this?"

The official in charge of punishment said: "My position today depends on the support of the Xie family. If I don't do it, they won't let me go."

After he finished recruiting, the prisoner's confession was almost finished, and he presented it to Yin Heng respectfully.

Yin Heng only lowered his eyes to browse lightly, and said, "Give him a bet."

When the official in charge of the criminal department finished drawing the bet, Yin Heng said: "Bring in the next one."

The next person who came in happened to see the officer in charge of the punishment department being dragged out bloody.His hand, which had been peeled off and exposed two dense phalanges, was particularly conspicuous, making one's hair stand on end.

With his lessons learned, the subsequent interrogation will be much smoother.

Then came in was Xie Yu's steward, he saw Yin Heng brutally murdered Xie Yu until his limbs were mutilated.

He knew how many salt roads Xie Yu had, but he didn't care about the salt roads.But he explained how he bought Xu Shenfang's grain store guy, and then got a few bags of private salt to mix into the grain store's rice, and then let the officers and soldiers come and get the stolen goods.

The people Yin Heng interrogated in the first half of the night were to clear up the grievances of Meng Yan and Xu Shenfang, and the people in the second half of the night interrogated were those who colluded with Xie's family and enriched their own pockets in the private salt case.

There are some key figures who are very strict.

Yin Heng was not in a hurry, and calmly chatted with them about the family's internal issues, and had already figured out the situation of their family.

Death is a big deal for smuggling salt, and the death penalty is not enough to punish the nine clans.But if they refused to recruit, the whole family would not have a good time in the hands of King Yin Wu.

After one night, Yin Heng had obtained most of the confessions.

Before he left the prison, he stood by Xu Shenfang's cell door.

Xu Chenfang leaned against the wall, the dim light of the fire couldn't conceal his pale complexion, he raised his lips and said with a smile: "King Yin Wu is very clever, I have heard the screams inside from all the way here, I can't sleep at this time."

Yin Heng said: "I heard from Huang Jidao that you asked him to present the clue to the emperor."

Xu Shenfang said: "Xie wanted to get rid of me, and I also wanted to get rid of him. It would be easier to deal with it if it was just me alone, but this time Ah Nai was involved, which is really not my wish. "

Yin Heng said lightly: "Tonight's confession will keep you out of the matter in a few days."

"Thank you very much then."

When Yin Heng returned home, the night was dim with stars and moon.

There was a light in the room for him.

Meng Yan knew that he was going to try the case at Dali Temple overnight, so she didn't wait all night.

Yin Heng took a look when he entered the room, she was asleep under the translucent bed curtain.

He washed his hands in front of the shelf, then raised his hand and unfastened his wristbands, and took off his robe.

I didn't want the belt to loosen, but the waist suddenly tightened.

A faint medicinal fragrance mixed with the unique fragrance of women came over, Yin Heng looked down and saw that there were hands around his waist.

In order not to make a sound, Meng Yan tiptoed behind him with her bare feet, her sleepy face pressed against his back, with a peaceful look on her face.

Yin Heng said: "My body is dirty."

A smile appeared on the corner of Meng Yan's mouth, and said, "I can smell the dew at night."

Yin Heng was hugged by her for a while, then took her hand, turned around and picked her up, walked a few steps to the side of the bed, bent over and put her back, and said: "Lie down first, I will come when I go to wash up."

Meng Yan sat cross-legged on the couch, followed him around the room with a pair of smiling eyes, watching him take off his coat, then went to the closet to get a clean inner coat, and then went out the door.

He came back from the shower with water still dripping from the ends of his hair.

White clothes and black hair, his whole body is clean and moist, like a character that is about to be swiped with ink, and there are still traces of ink that are not dry.

Meng Yan had already prepared a dry towel, patted the empty space beside the bed, and said with a smile, "Sit here, I'll wipe my husband's hair."

Yin Heng looked at her, walked over, brushed his clothes and sat down beside her.

Meng Yan happily knelt close to him, reached out to brush his hair, and drew water with a towel.As before, the movements are gentle and delicate.

Meng Yan said, "Is everything finished?"

Yin Heng said: "After the main trial, the remaining two days can be finished."

Meng Yan said: "Presumably the emperor hopes to use you to suppress Xie's family with all your strength this time."

Yin Heng said softly: "I know what you are worried about. How can the Xie family, which has been a family for hundreds of years, collapse completely in one blow. They will inevitably make a breakup soon to preserve the overall situation. Selling salt is a capital crime, but it is not a capital crime for killing relatives .”

Meng Yan said: "Then Xie Yu will definitely be responsible for this time."

Yin Heng said: "The dead are easy to carry."

***
In the next few days, Yin Heng proved Meng Yan's innocence by relying on the testimony of witnesses, and also cleared up Xu Shenfang's grievances.

Now Manchu's attention is focused on the personnel involved in the private salt case, who cares about a small businessman in the capital.

However, according to the evidence obtained by King Yin Wu, the riot in the prison of the Ministry of Justice and the fire were all intentional, with the purpose of murdering Princess Yin Wu.

The official in charge of the Criminal Division confessed that he was instructed by Xie's family, but he did not clearly say who was instructed by Xie's family.

Perhaps even he himself didn't know who was the Xie family's instigation, he only knew that there was such a message from above.

So before King Wu of Yin came to a conclusion, the Xie family took the initiative to push this premeditated riot onto Xie Yu's head.

Xie Hongbo took the Xie family to stand up, knelt in the court hall, and pleaded guilty to the emperor. He said that the Xie family's children were dandies, and in order to eliminate dissidents, they did such treasonous things in the name of the Xie family in private.

As for the smuggling of private salt, Xie Hongbo said that everyone in the Xie family knew nothing about it.

Of course, Xie Hongbo knew that in the road of salt and iron controlled by the imperial court, the water was as deep as the profits.

Since Xie Yu in the front was already dazzled by the benefits and went forward without hesitation, Xie Hongbo in the back would definitely not let the deep water wet his shoes.

He has nothing to do with it.

Therefore, no matter how much Dali Temple searched, Xie Hongbo's head could not be found.
