Chapter 1096 How to Steal 10 Taels

Wang Yue saw that Lu Yi was so sincere, but it was useless to continue to ask the bottom line. He waited for Lin Pingzhi to follow Yuan Jinxia to meet Yang Chengwan, and Yue Lingshan followed to watch the fun, and then he was ready to ask the root cause.

He took a sip of tea, frowned and asked, "Lu Yi, we are old friends, tell me the truth, with your personality and Jin Yiwei's power, you shouldn't ask for help."

Lu Yi knew that he couldn't hide it from Wang Yue, so he said seriously, "To tell you the truth, I received news that Qingcheng sent many masters to Yangzhou. I am worried about the intentions of these Jianghu figures. It's about the river money."

Wang Yue couldn't help but think of Lin Pingzhi when he heard about the Qingcheng faction, and he immediately asked, "Lin Pingzi met us in Hangzhou, where are his parents?"

Lu Yi is also a quick-witted person, he reacted immediately, and asked very cautiously, "Their big ship has already sailed north from Hangzhou, and they will probably come to meet Yang Chengwan, you will not doubt that the purpose of the Qingcheng faction is The Lin family, right?"

Wang Yue nodded, and said seriously, "You may not know that Lin Yuantu, Lin Pingzhi's great-grandfather, once competed with Changqingzi of the Qingcheng School and injured Changqingzi, and the two families formed a relationship like this. "

Lu Yi was a little stunned. He couldn't believe his ears, so he asked in surprise, "Is it a dispute after a competition? It has continued for decades?"

Wang Yue saw that Lu Yi didn't believe it, so he told him some inside information, "The problem is that Chang Qingzi is a narrow-minded person. After he challenged a senior expert and lost, he actually pissed himself to death, and then Qingcheng Pai hated the Lin family."

Lu Yi still didn't believe it, so he asked suspiciously, "But after Changqingzi died, so many years have passed, and the new head is still thinking about it?"

After he finished speaking, he felt stupid.

Just like the father and son of General Fengguo who he just captured, most of them are inherited, and stinginess is not impossible to pass on.

Thinking of this, he said seriously, "Although Lin Zhennan has retired and returned to his hometown, he was the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei after all. The Qingcheng faction might not dare to offend him, right?"

Wang Yue took a deep look at Lu Yi, and then said indifferently, "Jin Yiwei has always been a knife in His Majesty's hands. A knife that returns home after returning home is equivalent to being discarded. How much value do you think there is?"

Lu Yi immediately thought of several Jinyiwei commanders, all of whom were sold by the emperor after helping the emperor with some matters.

He immediately thought that Lin Zhennan must have helped His Majesty do many shameful things for so many years. Maybe His Majesty would be happy to see Lin Zhennan die?

All of a sudden, Lu Yi felt sad when the rabbit died and the fox died. Will he, Lu Yi, be like this one day?
After thinking about it, he suddenly became a little angry!

So, he snorted coldly and said, "That's not something that anyone can insult!"

Seeing that Lu Yi was already angry, Wang Yue said seriously, "Since this is the case, Jin Yiwei must be ready, but you have to keep it secret."

Lu Yi nodded. In fact, he still had another idea in his mind, that is, the person from the Qingcheng faction who dared to touch the Jinyiwei, so who is behind him?

East factory?

Or Yan's father and son?

He glanced at the leisurely Wang Yue, rolled his eyes, and said seriously, "Since you have nothing to do, why don't you follow me to interrogate Mr. Zhou."

Wang Yue was a little stunned. This guy actually took him to trial the case. He made up his mind to win him over.

However, he did not refuse, and he also wanted to know how the 10 taels of silver was stolen quietly?
……

Seeing that Wang Yue didn't refuse, Lu Yi immediately took Wang Yue to the prison.It's just that the two of them were stopped by the old man who guarded the door just as they entered.

Although the prison chief's posture was very respectful, his words were very strong, "No one is allowed to interrogate the prisoner without the order of the prefect."

Lu Yi had been prepared for a long time. He took out a post and said in a cold voice, "This is a driving post sent by the emperor himself. From today onwards, Jin Yiwei will take over the case."

When the old man saw that post, his heart felt cold, how could he stop it.

So, he quickly and respectfully led the way, and brought Wang Yue and Lu Yi to the place where Zhou Xianji was being held.

Looking at Zhou Xianji who was covered in wounds, Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. After all, this man is also a doctor of the Ministry of Industry and a civil servant. Why do people start interrogating without waiting for the people from the Ministry of Punishment to come?

Moreover, 10 taels of silver were taken away from the official treasury, and the local officials directly under them should avoid suspicion.

He frowned and said, "Have you been tortured? What can you ask?"

The jailer looked at Wang Yue, then at Lu Yi for no response, and then said honestly, "This man's bones are relatively hard, and he didn't ask anything, but there are all witnesses and evidence, so he can't do anything about it." Sophistry."

Wang Yue was a little speechless. He didn't know where the 10 taels of silver went. He even said that the physical evidence was there. He didn't even have the interest to continue talking.

He looked at Lu Yi, but didn't continue talking, he waited to see what Lu Yi would do.

Lu Yi calmly asked the old man to find a chair, and after he sat down, he said seriously, "Actually, I know Mr. Zhou, that winter... all the officials in the whole room were wearing a cotton shirt the last time. Boots, only you are wearing a broken leather boot. Beijing officials are relatively poor, but it is relatively rare to be as poor as Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Xianji, who had been bowing his head in silence, suddenly raised his head after hearing this. He glanced at Lu Yi and found that he knew him. Then he said with a wry smile, "Master Zhou still remembers me. It's really rare. .”

Lu Yi looked at Zhou Xianji and said, "I am ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of embezzlement of money for the repair of the river by Charlie. If Mr. Zhou has any grievances, he can speak out."

Zhou Xian looked at Lu Yi with some amusement, and said mockingly, "Do you believe me?"

Lu Yi saw that the other party didn't trust him, so his face remained unchanged, and he said in a cold voice, "I only believe in evidence."

Zhou Xianji still had some hesitation, so he asked tangledly, "But I heard that Jin Yiwei handles cases, and there are so many unjust, false and wrong cases. As long as you go to the prison, you can say that black is white."

Lu Yi looked at Zhou Xianji coldly, and said very forcefully, "The rumors are extremely unbelievable, and we Jin Yiwei are not fools, how could we only know how to use torture! Besides, you can only trust me now."

Zhou Xian saw that Lu Yi did not follow his own words, but believed it a little bit. He sighed and said, "I did embezzle the money for self-cultivation, but I only took 1 taels, and then I returned it in full. As for I really don’t know where the money for the repair will go.”

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "Let me tell you how you took the 1 taels and returned them."

Zhou Xian couldn't see anything from Lu Yi's face, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "I sent everyone away that day, sneaked into the bank, and took away 1 taels, but because of For some reason, I didn’t use the money, and put it back secretly. At that time, all the official bank was still there, and I was sure that all the official bank was there, but when the prefect counted, all the official bank was gone Gone."

Lu Yi saw that what Zhou Xian had said did not seem to be a lie, so he asked straightforwardly, "Then tell me, why did you take the 1 taels of silver?"

Zhou Xian shook his head, and said firmly, "It's just that I have important matters and I can't tell you why I need to take the official money."

Hearing this, Wang Yue snorted and said, "1 taels of silver is nearly a thousand catties, and at least ten strong coolies can do it. Even if you let martial arts masters carry it out quietly, you can't do it." Don’t you think it’s strange that you can hide it from everyone even if it’s possible?”

Zhou Xian didn't know Wang Yue anymore, but thinking that Wang Yue came here with Lu Yi, he thought he was a senior official in Jinyiwei, so he said without hesitation, "What's so strange about this? I've sent them All sent out."

Wang Yue felt that this man was stupid in reading, so he said disdainfully, "You are in someone else's territory in Yangzhou, do you think you can command everyone? You transport the money yourself, and you have to run back and forth for a while." Twenty times, but no one found it once? Is this normal! Besides, if those guards are really so obedient, where did you get the evidence of the robbery of official silver?"

Zhou Xian already thought it was due to his official authority, but after hearing Wang Yue's reminder, he felt something strange, but he couldn't say it for a while.

However, Lu Yi heard the trick here, and he asked hesitantly, "Brother Wang, you mean that someone deliberately set up this trick? But how did that person know that Mr. Zhou would take away 1 taels, and why did he return it?" I want to go back."

Wang Yue didn't answer this question. Looking at Zhou Xianji, he said sarcastically, "I must have checked Mr. Zhou's home after he was arrested. There must be no news of the 1 taels of silver. As long as his relatives know about him I once stole 1 taels of silver, but I couldn't escape the eyes of those who handled the case."

Lu Yi frowned, and said thoughtfully, "In other words, Master Zhou didn't use the 1 taels of silver in his own home, so where do you think he used it?"

Seeing that Zhou Xian's face had changed, Wang Yue continued, "If it was for the future, he would not have been so poor in the capital long ago. It can be seen that his character is relatively resolute, so what can Yangzhou do to make a How can a man of good character go to take the money for repairing the embankment?"

Zhou Xian had already heard this, so he broke down and said, "Stop talking, it's all my fault, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Wang Yue saw that Zhou Xian had collapsed, so he continued to say, "Lord Lu, what are there more in Yangzhou?"

Lu Yi obviously didn't keep up with Wang Yue's rhythm. He thought of Linjiang in Yangzhou, where water transportation is relatively developed, so he tentatively said, "Businessman? Or ship?"

Wang Yue saw a black line on his forehead, and he said bluntly, "Yangzhou skinny horse!"

Lu Yi felt a little embarrassed when he heard Wang Yue say this word. He quickly turned his head to look elsewhere, but accidentally saw Zhou Xianji's shock.

He immediately realized something, and said seriously, "Brother Wang, do you mean that Mr. Zhou often covets money from the court just for a skinny horse?"

Zhou Xian had already heard this, and said unwillingly, "I've already said that it has nothing to do with others. You are not allowed to insult my Lanye with the word skinny horse. She is just a poor person."

Wang Yue looked at Zhou Xianji's obsessed look, and said sarcastically, "Other women are pitiful, but your wife and daughter are not pitiful? Living a poor life with you, but being demoted as an official prostitute because of you , especially your daughter, who may become a skinny horse played by others one day, who do you think is the most pitiful?"

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he took two steps forward, staring at Zhou Xianji with burning eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Come on, tell me now, who is the poor man? It is your who is about to become a skinny horse." Daughter, or your orchid leaf?"

Zhou Xian hadn't thought of his wife and daughter until this time, and he trembled when he thought that his wife and daughter might really suffer from this kind of suffering if he was sent off because of this matter.

However, what he thought of was nothing else, but what would he become if his wife and daughter became someone else's plaything?

He thought of the ridicule of his youth in the future, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, so he couldn't help but tremble.

Wang Yue looked at Zhou Xianji, whose face was like gold paper, and said in a colder tone, "How can there be such a coincidence in the world, but 10 taels of silver came to Yangzhou, and there is a poor woman who needs you to spend 1 taels of silver?" Baiyin went to rescue, and then, I guess you must have returned Baiyin because there was no way to redeem that woman."

Zhou Xian already had a mental breakdown at the moment, he looked at Wang Yue with some fear, and said in disbelief, "You, how do you know?"

Wang Yue looked at Zhou Xianji like an idiot, and said very firmly, "Think about it with your pig brain, you just paid back 1 taels of silver, and all 10 taels of silver were lost immediately, and now you Don't you think you've been tricked?"

Zhou Xian had thought about Wang Yue's time, and thought about the whole process of his going south. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Wang Yue said made sense. He seemed to have really entered a game.

It's just that when he thought of the understanding Zhai Lanye, he still couldn't believe it, and said in his mouth, "No, Lanye won't lie to me."

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows, turned around and said to Lu Yi, "Lord Lu, the reality is clear now, this idiot Zhou was obviously played by others in the applause, and now the breakthrough point of the clue fell to that man named Lan Ye." With Jin Yiwei's ability, it shouldn't be hard to find the girl, right?"

Seeing what Wang Yue said, Lu Yi nodded, and said very confidently, "Your Excellency Zhou has not been in Yangzhou for a long time, and you will know the places he has been to after a little inquiring, and it won't take long to find someone. time."

Zhou Xian had already seen these two people and was about to arrest them. He was a little dumbfounded, so he said quickly, "She is an innocent woman, so it's not certain that she framed me?"

Lu Yi sneered, and said disdainfully, "Is it innocent, you will know when you enter the imperial prison?"

Zhou Xian panicked again when he heard this, and his IQ was not online anymore, so he immediately pleaded, "My lord, she is just a poor woman, why make things difficult for him."

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. It seems that this idiot Zhou is very poisoned, so he interrupted decisively, "Now you need to choose between your family and that Lanye girl, you have to think clearly Choose again."
