A Clash of Gods Chapter 898: Fatal Strike
Chu Mingwei arched his hand and said: "The case of Hui Butang Master, Meng Chu killing Liang Gonggong happened two years ago, and the Xiaguan remembered that it happened in June and August of that year. The Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs received a secret report, and immediately sent someone to Nanling to investigate the case in secret. Because of the drought in Nanling in the past two years, the Qinhuai war was still in a stalemate, the treasury was empty, and it was impossible to transport too many materials to the south. Ling disaster relief caused a lot of gangsters." Turned his head and said: "Wei Yujiang, that case seems to send you to investigate."
Wei Yujiang stepped forward and said: "Returning to Master Chu, this case is indeed a first-hand investigation. The captain of Nanling Nanping Mansion Meng Chu led the soldiers to kill the bandits, and the head of the bandit Liu Ba was sent to Beijing. The rewards were awarded, and the officials were also preparing to promote Meng Chu, but the promotion was slightly delayed because of the battle on the front line. Meng Chu built the merits at the end of June. The so-called Liu Ba’s head was sent to Beijing in early July, but in August At that time, a secret report was sent to the Penal Department. After receiving the secret report, Qian Rao Shun ordered the adults to take charge of the case, and Master Chu immediately sent a humble job to Nanling for investigation."
Although this case happened two years ago, many officials present apparently nodded slightly when they heard about Wei Yujiang's report.
"What did Wei Sijun find out at the time?" Qi Ning asked.
Wei Yujiang looked cold and said, "After investigating the lowly position in Nanling, Liu Ba was found not dead at all and was still in trouble in Nanling. After that, he received help from locals to determine the specific details of the case. In September, Meng Chu led a total of fifteen people and slaughtered a remote village at night. All the villagers, young and old, were killed. Meng Chu and others took 16 of the young and strong bodies as chaotic bandits, and the bodies of old and weak children , Judu and the village were burned with fire."
Qining looked cold and nodded, "What happened later?"
"Meng Chu found irrefutable evidence for the low office, and the Ministry of Criminal issued a document saying that the fifteen people who participated in the massacre that night, except for Meng Chu who was escorted into Beijing, all the other fourteen were on the spot to practice the Fa." Wei Yujiang said: " The humble office personally saw the fourteen people sentenced to capital punishment in Nanping, and then escorted Meng Chu back to the capital."
"What will happen to this case after returning to Beijing?"
"After returning to Beijing, the imperial court had the will to cut Meng Chu in public and take advantage of it." Wei Yujiang said: "The sentence is set at the beginning of September. The humble office handed Meng Chu to the jail cell and was put into the criminal department. Death row."
Qing Ning nodded slightly, and then glanced at the officials, and asked, "Which adult is the prison in the prison, can you stand up?"
Everyone's eyes immediately looked at the person who was kneeling behind Da Xi Chong. The man was fat, and he was the most fierce one who had scolded Wei Yujiang before. At this time, the person's face was pale, his forehead was cold and sweating, and he climbed up from behind. Step, trembling: "Humble office.....Humble office is here!"
"Are you a prisoner in the prison?"
"Yes.....is a humble job!"
Qing Ning smiled slightly before asking: "Wei Sishen said something was wrong? When he brought Meng Chu from Nanping House back to that year, did he leave it to you to be sentenced to death penalty?"
"This...!" Zhou Bo hesitated before saying: "Master Huihuibu, indeed..... indeed!"
"That's good." Qi Ning laughed: "Then came to the prison sentence in September, and Meng Chu was brought from the death row of the criminal department and sent to the court for execution. At that time, was it the person who proposed Meng Chu?"
Zhou Bo bowed his head and said: "Yes.....is a humble job!"
Qing Ning smiled lightly and pulled out a piece of paper from the file. "There is a letter here. The incident happened in Luling. There is a local hegemony in the local area, and the prostitute is the prostitute. After the investigation, the person in charge runs the prostitute in Luling. , Gathered a group of people, doing all the tricks of prostitutes for prostitution."
Everyone at the scene was a little confused, thinking about the Meng Chu case in a good manner. How did he jump to Luling all at once, Nanping Mansion and Luling are far apart, could these two cases be implicated?
"Master Daxi, do you know the existence of this group of people in Luling?" Qi Ning stared at Daxi and asked.
Da Xi’s sweating forehead against his forehead, his expression is not as arrogant as before, and he grinned reluctantly: "Hou Ye asked this strangely, Xiaguan.... Xiaguan is in Beijing, how do you know... ..Know the Luba landlord!"
"But as far as the official knows, every year you can get at least one or two thousand or two silver from the hand of that landlord." Qi Ninghan said with a smile: "In the past two years, there have been three or four thousand or two. Silver's entry?"
Everyone is discolored.
"Hou Ye, you...you can't spit people out of blood." Da Xi Chong abruptly changed color: "Xiaguan....When did Xiaguan accept the silver from Nadi?"
"In December of the previous year, you received eight hundred and two silver." Qi Ningli ignored it, looking at a paper: "Last May, you received one thousand two silver, last December, You have another thousand or two silvers in your account," coughed twice, and said, "In April of this year, one thousand two over there..., totaling three thousand eight hundred and two, I did not say Wrong?"
Da Xi Chong looked white, opened his mouth, but could not make a sound.
"By the way, Master Zhou, every time Master Daxi receives the money, you also receive it at the same time, but the number is halved, a total of 1,920. If I am wrong, you are now You can scream injustice." Qi Ning said lightly.
"Humble job...!" Zhou Bo's forehead fell on the ground, shaking all over.
Qining said with a smile: "You adults may be very strange. Why did a landlord in Luling send money to the capital? Why did he want to give it to Daxi and Zhou? In fact, it is not true Strangely, these two adults are the life-saving benefactors of the land tyrant. They lived a life and honoured them from year to year, which is a matter of course. By the way, the land tyrant is called Chulong, but that is only now. Name, two years ago, the man was called Meng Chu!"
The lobby of the Penal Department was suddenly full of uproar, and all the officials were taken aback. There was a commotion and a lot of discussion.
"You are naturally strange, isn't Meng Chu already chopped off two years ago? Why is he still alive today?" Qi Ning laughed: "I just said that he has a life-saving benefactor and can naturally live." Staring at Daxi and asking, "Master Daxi, what is going on, can you tell everyone?"
Although he has a faint smile on his face, his eyes are very cold.
Daxi Chong opened his mouth slightly, clenched his fists with both hands, and finally said: "Hou Ye, you... You don’t understand what you said, Xiaguan... Xiaguan doesn’t know what life-saving benefactor ."
"Zhou Bo, Master Daxi doesn't want to say, can you want to say?" Qi Ning didn't talk to Daxi much, and turned his attention to Zhou Bo: "If you can tell the truth, you can also confess your guilt. Say something to the court for you. You should understand that since I know this, there is naturally enough evidence on hand. I will give you the opportunity to confess. If I miss this opportunity, I promise that I will not have a second time."
Daxi rushed back and shouted: "Zhou Bo, we can’t let anyone be framed. Some people want to rule out dissidents and injustice. We can’t succumb. No one in this court can cover the sky with one hand. We really want to be wronged. The court, begging the emperor and Zhen Guogong to be the masters!" He bit the word "Zhen Guogong" very seriously, and the meaning is also very obvious. Naturally, he should warn Zhou Bo not to talk nonsense, at least there is the big tree of Zhen Guogong. .
"It’s okay, you can raise trees to the court, and I will give you this opportunity." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Just the Chu Long... Oh, no, it was the criminal named Meng Chu. When he arrived in Beijing, the officer had already settled him. By that time, he would just take him with you to make it clear to the emperor."
Zhou Bo shook his body and suddenly raised his head and said: "Admiral of the Ministry, this matter... This matter is a moment of ignorance, but.........but the inferiority is also involuntarily... ..!"
Daxi rushed to his face, screaming angrily: "Zhou Bo, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"Adult, this thing... This thing can't be concealed." Zhou Bo cried with regret: "Let's take the initiative to plead guilty to the master, the master said, yes... Xiang Chaoting intercede for us!"
"You stupid pig." Da Xi Chong struggled to stand up, took a step forward, kicked on Zhou Bo's head, Zhou Bo was kicked to the ground immediately, his hands were holding his head, Da Xi Chong still wanted When he rushed up, there was a punishment bureaucratic bureau rushed forward, grabbed Daxi rush, Daxi rushed gasping, pushed away the bureaucrat, turned to Qi Ning and said: "You are planting and framing, you...you To rule out dissidents, so it hurts me!" Opened both hands, shouted: "You, don't let this person cover the sky here with one hand, let's... we should unite... !"
But the officials present were all born in criminal names. In front of the scene, everyone is seeing it, and they already understand it in their hearts.
There is no doubt that Meng Chu was sent to Beijing for execution, but now that Meng Chu, who should have been executed two years ago, appeared in Luling. This can only be explained by the transfer of flowers and flowers. The real Meng Chu had already left the prison, and the punishment was a substitute ghost.
This kind of thing is not uncommon throughout the ages. Officials in the Penal Department are also very aware of this kind of thing, but this kind of thing is absolutely invisible, even if it happens, it is extremely secret. Once exposed, it is Great event.
Da Xi Chong is the left servant of the Penal Department~IndoMTL.com~ bought the prisoner Zhou Bo of the jail cell. The two men took their hands to steal the beams and replace the prisoners. It is not difficult.
If Zhou Bo gritted his teeth and stayed in the end, everyone on the scene really had to doubt the credibility of the matter, but Qi Ning revealed the matter to the public. Zhou Bo was obviously scared and dared not to refute it. Zhou Bo’s The reaction also made everyone immediately understand that it was obviously true that Da Xiong was behind the operation and stealing the prisoner.
If this matter is true, both Da Xi Chong and Zhou Bo will inevitably die. No one dares to get involved in such a big case.
On weekdays, if it’s because of other things, with Daxi’s status and prestige in the penal department, this kind of shouting may really attract a group of people, but at this time, no one dared to get involved in this matter. After all, no one wants to lose their heads because of this, and all of them bow their heads and say nothing, letting Daxi rush to the hall to shout.
Da Xihong yelled a few times, but no one stood up at all. Even the officials who had knelt behind him and were very close to him, also knew that the matter was big, and their heads were attached to the ground without saying a word.

ps: First of all, I have to apologize to everyone, the update of these days is really not good. My parents are old, and they are not in good health. During the Chinese New Year, all the things I came to Zhang Luo alone, ushered in, all kinds of wedding banquets, walk relatives, sleep very little time every day, there is really no Method. In the past, these things had nothing to do with me at a young age. Now I suddenly found that the New Year was so hard, because of the slowness of the update due to family affairs. It is indeed my mistake. Fortunately, it will be good soon. I will definitely speed up after the year. !
