The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Li Donglai saw Qiyou going out, and quickly followed him out. If he didn't figure it out, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Walking out of the torture room, Li Donglai walked up to Qiyou and asked, "My lord, how did you recognize them as black-faced and niggers?"
Qiyou ignored him.
Li Donglai said with a bitter face: "My lord, please tell the next general! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Qiyou asked back: "You can't sleep, what does it have to do with me?" This guy even doubted his judgment, how could he explain it to him.
Li Donglai was choked.
An hour later, Pan Shengyuan handed the black-faced confession to Qiyou: "My lord, this is the black-faced confession." When he said this, Pan Shengyuan was not too respectful.
Pan Shengyuan said softly: "Bai Zhenghu actually took advantage of him." These days, he has been hearing Yangzhou people praise Bai Zhenghu as a good official. So he felt that Zeng Xinde might have made a mistake, and for this reason, he also spoke well of Qiyou in front of him. In the end, reality slapped him hard in the face.
Hearing this, Qiyou laughed and said, "You know people, you know their face, but you don't know your heart. You haven't seen it clearly in the Ministry of Criminal Justice all these years?" The words were simple, but he felt uncomfortable about the matter.
Pan Shengyuan said: "My lord, what he confessed may not be true. I asked him for evidence, but he couldn't come up with it." Empty and white teeth that Bai Zhenghu took bribes were most likely false accusations.
Qiyou said: "Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Did Rong Tongji give him a bank note or gold and silver?"
Pan Shengyuan shook his head and said: "It is said that five thousand taels of gold was given at Bai Zhenghu's request. But it was not given directly, but the gold was put in a designated place. I asked him where to send it, but he couldn't tell. "That's why, he felt that Bai Zhenghu was wronged.
Qiyou smiled and said, "For a person like this, do you think he will catch Bai Zhenghu and use this to threaten him to listen to him?" This kind of vicious desperado doesn't know what to be afraid of.
Pan Shengyuan thought about it too.
Qiyou said: "Let him tell the people behind the scenes, otherwise don't let him die."
Pan Shengyuan nodded. He has many ways to make life worse than death. Up to now, there are only a handful of people who can resist those tortures. And he didn't think Hei Mian could withstand these tortures.
Just as he was talking, he heard the guard come over and report back: "My lord, Bai Zhifu, Zhuang Tongzhi and other officials are asking to see the lord." After copying the Rong and Yan families, Bai Zhenghu begged to see him. Unfortunately, Qiyou didn't see him at that time.
Qiyou showed a playful smile: "Let them in." These people must have been brought in by Bai Zhenghu! Now he was 100% sure that there was something wrong with Bai Zhenghu.
Bai Zhenghu followed Zhuang Tongzhi and other five officials into the main hall, and saw Qiyou sitting at the head, holding the handle with both hands.
After the group saluted Qiyou, Bai Zhenghu took the lead and asked, "My lord, I don't know what serious crime Rong Tongji committed?" It was not a serious crime, and it was impossible to ransack the house. And up to now, they are all at a loss.
Qiyou leaned back on the chair, looking at Bai Zhenghu expressionlessly. Before, he really hoped his guess was wrong. He really hopes that Bai Zhenghu is really just and honest, and he is dedicated to serving the people. Because the more officials like the imperial court, the more conducive to the stability of the world. Unfortunately, Bai Zhenghu let him down.
Being watched by Qiyou like this, the pressure in Bai Zhenghu's heart increased sharply. However, he still asked: "My lord, Rong Tongji is also a famous person in Yangzhou. My lord, he has been arrested for no reason now, and people in Yangzhou are in a state of panic."
He had never seen an imperial envoy who ate, drank and had fun all day long, so before today he also felt that Qiyou was here for a formality this time. But he didn't expect that if Qiyou didn't make a move, he would be scared to death when he made a move.
Qiyou smiled, and asked back: "Do you think this king will copy the Rongyan family for no reason?"
Before coming to Jiangnan, Qi Hao gave him a secret decree that he could mobilize the army at any time. This is actually a talisman for Qiyou, but he didn't expect it to be used.
Bai Zhenghu hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I don't care. My lord, I must know what serious crime Rong Tongji has committed?" Rong Tongji was generous and loyal. So in Yangzhou, the reputation is very good.
"Rong Tongji and Yan Simao didn't commit any crimes."
Hearing this, Zhuang Tongzhi asked, "My lord, since Rong Tongji and Yan Simao didn't commit a crime, why did you arrest them and ransack their house?"
Qiyou glanced at Zhuang Tongzhi. He was straightforward and hot-tempered, but his official voice was good. Of course, these are rumors. He no longer believed in such rumors.
"This king just said that Rong Tongji and Yan Simao were innocent, not that they were innocent."
Several officials present were confused, but Bai Zhenghu was the first to speak: "My lord, I don't know what you mean?"
Zhao Qian said: "Rong Tongji and Yan Simao died a long time ago, and these two people are pretending to be their identities."
Hearing this, Bai Zhenghu and Zhuang Tongzhi looked at each other with a look of fear in their eyes. Unless it is a capital crime, it will not impersonate others.
Qiyou suddenly arrested Rong Tongji and Yan Simao and ransacked their homes. Zhuang Tong knew that he was very worried. He thought that Qiyou had some trouble with Rong Tongji, so he wanted to put him to death. Once this matter is done, if it is spread out, Yangzhou may cause trouble.
Zhuang Tongzhi asked: "My lord, what are the real identities of these two people?"
"Rong Tongji's real name is Shen Jiazhi, and Yan Simao's real name is Liu Ergou." Liu Ergou is very lecherous. He took more than ten concubines, and often went to Tianxiang Tower. If it wasn't for Qiyou's accidental encounter, even if Rong Tongji was found to be in collusion with officials in the end, if the circumstances were not serious, his home would be ransacked and exiled, and he would definitely not have to die.
None of the officials present had heard of this name.
Before a few people asked, Qiyou said: "You must have never heard of their real names, but their nicknames must be familiar to you."
Zhuang Tongzhi immediately asked: "My lord, what are their nicknames?"
"Shen Jiazhi's nickname is Black Face, and Liu Ergou's nickname is Black Ghost." Not to mention Yangzhou, there is no one in Jiangnan who doesn't know Black Face.
Prefect Bai was so frightened that he knelt down to Qiyou. The others also knelt down in front of Qiyou.
Zhuang Tongzhi asked: "My lord, is this serious?" Although he knew that Qiyou would not joke about such a big matter, he still wanted to get an affirmative answer.
"They've already admitted it." Qiyou himself didn't know that he would meet the ghost face by such a coincidence. .
Zhuang Tongzhi knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness is wise." Rong Tongji and Yan Simao have been in Yangzhou for so many years, and no one has discovered their true identities. As a result, as soon as King You came, he found that there was something wrong with Rong Tongji. In the future, whoever wants to say that King You is absurd and unruly, he is in a hurry with whom.
Now that the matter is clarified, it will be difficult for Prefect Bai and Tongzhi Zhuang to stay here.
Qiyou hummed and said, "Prefect Bai will stay, and everyone else will go back."
Bai Zhenghu said respectfully: "I don't know what King You needs to do." The previous contempt was gone.
Qiyou smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Rong Tongji said that he gave you five thousand taels of gold, and asked you to give him a convenient way." Since Rong Tongji said that he only gave it once, there should be nothing wrong. Now, all that's left is the evidence.
Bai Zheng was trembling with anger, and said through gritted teeth: "My lord, he framed me."
Qiyou smiled, and said, "Rong Tongji hides so deeply, I can find out. I will find out whether he framed you. However, if you confess now, you can deal with it lightly."
Bai Zhenghu lowered his head and said, "My lord, I was framed, please investigate further."
Qiyou hummed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter." He gave Bai Zhenghu a chance, but it's a pity that this man will not cry when he sees the coffin. Even so, he didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.
Qiyou's excerpts were delivered to the capital at normal speed. Because it wasn't urgent, Qi Hao finished talking with Han Jianming before reading his notes.
After reading the excerpt, Qi Hao handed it to Han Jianming.
"Ayou actually caught the ghost mask and the black ghost." In fact, when Han Jianming was the governor of Jiangnan, this group of people ran rampant on the canal, and he always wanted to destroy this gang of bandits. But this group of people commit crimes only once a year or so, and run away after robbing things and killing people. Because none of them survived, no one knew what this group of people looked like. Therefore, it has not been able to be wiped out in those years. In the end, it was Han Jianming who used Zao Zao and Liu Er's dowry as bait to lure them out when he returned to Beijing to sue, and then set an ambush to kill them. At that time, they also left two survivors, and when they asked them to identify the corpses, they found that the ghost face and the black face had escaped.
Because they were important criminals, an artist was hired to draw the appearance of the two people based on the descriptions of the two survivors, and then they were wanted nationwide. However, the two disappeared without a trace as if they had disappeared. It was later rumored that the two had died.
Han Jianming was very surprised and asked, "Qiyou caught Ghost Mask and Nigga? Are they hiding in Yangzhou?"
Qi Hao smiled and said: "Who would have thought that the famous rich merchants Rong Tongji and Yan Simao in Yangzhou would be the black faces and niggers in the past."
Few people can match Han Jianming's concentration over the years, but he was shocked when he heard this: "Your Majesty, is this serious?"
"Rong Tongji and Yan Simao have confessed, and even revealed the location of their hidden treasure." Therefore, there is no such thing as torture.
Han Jianming couldn't help admiring: "Ah You, if you don't make a name for yourself, you'll be a blockbuster." As long as this case gets out, Qiyou won't have to be criticized by so many people in the future.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "Ah You is just too lazy." He must always watch, otherwise he will be lazy.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "Young King has had this temper since he was a child, and it's not so difficult to get him to change."
Qihao smiled and said, "Take your time, don't worry." Those relatively rare cases were handed over to Qiyou. In this way, he can no longer be lazy.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to tell me that I will go to Baihua Garden later. Your Majesty, do you think I should come to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, or you can tell the Emperor yourself later." He believed that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Her Majesty will be delighted to know this.
Qihao smiled and said, "I'm going to have dinner at Baihuayuan tonight, and I'll tell them when the time comes."
Han Jianming nodded.
