"I, Lin Tailai, chief officer of Mudu Port Branch, was entrusted by the Hushu Customs Office and Mudu Inspection Department to arrest Xi Siwei, the mastermind of the official-killing rebellion case! Please give me your instructions, Dazhong Cheng!"
Everyone: "."
Damn it! I thought the drama was over, but has it actually just begun?
"Hahahaha!" Erye Shen couldn't bear it anymore, laughed like a pig, and said to Wang Yusheng: "What I said just now is right, this is wisdom!"
With so many people present, he was the only one who noticed Lin Daguanren's tricks half a step in advance! A sense of superiority in terms of IQ emerged spontaneously!
Wang Yusheng couldn't stand it and said: "What does this have to do with wisdom? It's all your experience, right?"
Only Yuan Zhixian suddenly woke up when he heard the words "killing officials and rebelling"!
No wonder Lin Tailai wanted to "keep the alarm bell ringing" and "mention it all the time", that's what he meant!
After Xi Dachaofeng was stunned for a moment, he laughed a few times and said dismissively:
"This is a common trick of your gang. You often find murder cases to frame others! Today I want to see how you can frame me!"
Lin Tailai said: "On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, the tax envoy of the King of Hushu Pass and the magistrate of Yuan County of Changzhou went to Mudu Port to attend the opening and closing ceremony.
The boat was besieged by armed thugs in the Xujiang River. At that time, the thugs attempted to sink the ship and drown the two gentlemen in the river.
The nature is extremely bad, but fortunately, I, Lin Tailai, arrived in time and rescued him."
Then he asked Yuan Zhixian: "Is this the case?"
Magistrate Yuan nodded and testified: "That's true."
Lin Tailai continued: "After further investigation, it was found that the thugs did not know the identities of the people in the boat.
But there was another main culprit who gave the thugs two hundred taels of silver and ordered the thugs to besiege the designated ship!"
Hearing what official Lin said so well, everyone couldn't help but become serious. Isn't this "official murder and rebellion case" a joke?
Lin Tailai raised his hand and pointed at Xi Dachaofeng, and said loudly and forcefully: "According to my investigation, the person who bribed the thugs and tried to kill the official is Xi Siwei!"
Xi Dachaofeng was completely fearless and immediately cursed:
"You bastard thief! How dare you slander people here! You masters know everything, how can you allow you to make up nonsense!"
It should be noted that if you are falsely accused and rebelled, you, Lin Tailai, will be waiting for your family to be ruined!"
Lin Tailai took out a note from his pocket and showed it to the people nearby.
"This is a money order drawn by the Xi family. It can be exchanged for two hundred taels of silver. It cannot be faked. I found it from the thugs.
According to the gangster’s account, Xi Siwei gave him the money order, and it was Xi Siwei who instigated the incident!”
If Lin Tailai randomly took out a few ingots of silver and said it was evidence, it would be too false and others would not believe it easily.
Silver is unmarked, and even if it is marked, it can be easily counterfeited.
But specific money orders (bank checks) are different. They all have unique markings and colors on them. After identification, it can be seen that they were issued by the Xi family.
This can be regarded as a very solid evidence, because two hundred taels of silver is definitely a huge sum of money to the people at the bottom. If the Xi family hadn't taken the initiative to deliver it, how would the people at the bottom have the chance to get such a large denomination of the Xi family's money order?
Everyone looked at Xi Dachaofeng, their eyes full of suspicion.
The key officials of Suzhou City are all here, and everyone is very sensitive to "killing officials"!
If Xi Dachaofeng really dares to have this idea, everyone would not mind sending Xi Dachaofeng to the west together, even if the governor protects him, it will be useless!
Xi Dachaofeng's behavior of violating the rules just now has already disgusted all the officials.
Then I heard Lin Tailai: "There are also witnesses. On the day of the switching ceremony, Xi Siwei took a building boat and docked on the other side of Mudu Port to spy on it from a high position!
He must have seen with his own eyes the tax envoy Wang and Yuan Zhixian boarded the boat, and then the mob attack occurred!
If it weren’t for Xi Siwei’s instigation, how could there be so many coincidences in the world!”
At this time, even Governor Wei could not remain calm and asked Xi Dachaofeng in surprise: "Is what Lin Tailai said the truth?"
Xi Siwei replied without thinking: "It's all a trap!"
Lin Tailai immediately asked: "Then please Xi Dachaofeng and explain to all the gentlemen why your money order is in the hands of thugs and why you are peeping on the other side!"
Xi Dachaofeng was at a loss for words. Both of these things were things that were difficult to deny but could not be explained at the moment.
The purpose of giving money to those gangsters was to bribe them to join the New Wu League as undercover agents, and then create some cases such as smuggling and frame Lin Tailai.
And after he launches a full-scale campaign to seize the Lin family's foundation, these halls can serve as his team to take over the territory.
As for why I was peeping on the other side, it was purely out of my own nerves!
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have given him a money order to save trouble, but at that time I didn't expect that I would be implicated in the suspicion of "killing an official"!
At this time, the person involved, Yuan Zhixian, suddenly said: "I have never had any grudges with Xi Siwei. Why did he attack me?"
Lin Tailai bowed to Yuan Zhixian and replied: "Actually, Yuan County respects you by the way. The tax envoy Wang is Xi Siwei's main target!
You may not be aware of this, but when the imperial court approved the establishment of two sub-customs at Mudu Port and Likou Port, the royal tax envoy was under great pressure in selecting the chief officials of the sub-customs.
At that time, Xi Siwei once bribed the tax envoy Wang with 5,000 taels of silver to seek the position of chief official of Mudu Port, but he was rejected by the tax envoy Wang!
In the end, the king's tax envoy supported me as the chief official, which made Xi Siwei feel resentful, and he was still determined to seek separate places!
As long as the king's tax envoy is eliminated, the customs tax envoy will have to be replaced, and since I have not yet established a stable foothold in the sub-customs, Xi Siwei will have another chance to replace me as the head of the sub-customs!"
Speaking of this, Lin Tailai suddenly shouted to Xi Siwei: "As the saying goes, everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart!
Do you, Xi Dachaofeng, dare to swear by your ancestors that you have never coveted Mudu Port?"
The arrogant Xi Dachaofeng panicked, as if there was an invisible net tying him up to the point of suffocation!
He also has no confidence in the bottom line of the officials. It seems that this matter will not be easy to overcome!
Those who have dealt with Lin Tailai say that Lin Tailai is scary, but if you don't experience it for yourself, you won't know how scary it is!
Such a huge injustice was created out of nothing in broad daylight!
I just got off the boat with the governor, and I haven't done anything yet! I'm really going to die before I get out of the way!
Everyone is getting deeper and deeper into deep thought. Why is it that what Lin Tailai made up seems more and more true? Is it really the truth?
There is some physical evidence, some witness evidence, and even a very sufficient motive.
Based on today's case-handling logic, this horse-riding person is enough to pronounce a sentence in court.
