While they were talking, the jailer on the side had already recorded the confession and handed the confession to Wei Chong. Wei Chong waved his hand and motioned for him to hand it over to his confidant.
"You take out the seal of the Yamen and seal it, and we will stamp it." He glanced coldly and ordered the soldiers.
It was the first time for these soldiers to work for him, and they were not very familiar with it. When they got the official seal, they hesitated and didn't know where to put it. Wei Chong gritted his teeth and had to step forward to help them press it down, quietly sealing it in his mouth.
He muttered: "I really can't count on these people from the Inspection Department..."
After everyone had gathered together, the cell leader was about to collect the files. Wei Chong quickly held down his arm: "If you keep everything here, Ye Yongjia is likely to force it out. It is better to keep it safe and secure. Lessons from the past,
You are the master of funeral affairs."
After hearing this, the prison head nodded and said: "Okay. Then I will take the case file to the Punishment Department first, show it to the gentlemen, and then send it to your house. The Punishment Department definitely wants the confession. I will ask someone to make a copy of it now.
To you."
Wei Chong took the confession, walked out of the prison, and after a few words with the few close soldiers, he sent them back to the Inspection Department. Unexpectedly, these soldiers had been recruited by Ye Yongjia, and they were here to explore the truth. Now,
When he returned to Jiang Tian, he told him all about Wei Chong's mischief and how he bribed the Nanjing Ministry of Justice, without missing a word.
Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed when he was on inspection. After appreciating these people, he hurried towards the Yamen.
"Jiang inspected, nothing went wrong, right?" Ye Yongjia asked as soon as he faced him.
Jiang Tian waved his hand calmly: "Master Ye, Wei Chong was completely unprepared. He only thought that we had caused a stumbling block. He never thought that you would persuade him to surrender with one move."
Ye Yongjia's tense mood finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but laugh with him: "I'm so lucky!"
"What are you going to do next?"
Ye Yongjia calmed down and replied slowly: "There is no rush yet. Let's wait for the news from Mr. Cai to see his success or failure. If we can catch the guy, we should prepare for the final battle. The outcome of the party struggle may be me.
I'm not sure, but...Wei Chong will definitely make him pay the price with blood."
Wei Chong didn't want to go home and stay there. He couldn't sit still and wait for the Ministry of Punishment's approval. Wei Chong was only thinking about when Cai Xianqing's large sum of money would be in his hands. In order to get it as soon as possible.
, he sent people and made an agreement with Cai Xianqing to deliver the goods at Huaiqing Bridge at a certain time in the afternoon.
He sat on a wooden bench in the teahouse under the bridge, drank a few sips of tea alone, and finally arrived when he saw Cai Xianqing.
Cai Xianqing deliberately spread his hands, making it appear that his hands were empty and he had brought nothing.
Wei Chong felt very uncomfortable and tapped the table with a few fingers: "Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai, you promised to ask for money from the prince. Now I have turned over the confession for Chen Tong, and I will be the first to send someone."
You said you came here despite all the hard work. Are you still trying to trick me?"
"Wei Secretary's Office, the Ministry of Punishment hasn't said anything yet, this matter needs to be settled," Cai Xianqing sat down with his sleeves folded, "Businessmen shouldn't be so casual."
Wei Chong became more and more anxious as he listened, and said with a smile: "Wei will not lie to you. If he says that the case will be overturned, he will do it for you. For my sake, just give me the money first, and we will make do with it."
"If you don't have rules, you won't be able to make things right. If things don't work out, you won't pay the money." Cai Xianqing looked straight ahead, not looking back at Wei Chong.
Wei Chong's eyes almost split, and he begged again: "Master Cai, I don't have much money to spend on weekdays. Now that I have this money, I feel at ease."
When Cai Xianqing saw that he was obsessed with money, he was planning something, so he smiled slightly and said, "That's it, Secretary Wei, just think of me as helping you. But there must be some proof to make me feel at ease."
Wei Chong immediately took out the confession from his sleeve and placed it on the table: "Is this enough?!"
When Cai Xianqing saw the document written in black and white, he felt excited, but his face remained calm. He gently picked up the confession and said, "Then I will go to the county prince."
"You must keep the confession well and don't lose it."
"I am a cautious person, so you can rest assured. An hour and a half later, a certain person packed nearly a thousand taels of silver in a large box and delivered it to your house."
Wei Chong rubbed his palms together, his eyes shining: "Mr. Cai, go and come back quickly!"
Boom!
Boom!
Ye Yongjia heard this heavy sound in the study room-it was clearly the sound of drums.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw a government official barging in. He knelt down in a hurry and said: "There is an old man outside the door, beating the drum... the drum and shouting to accuse corrupt officials."
"Okay!" Ye Yongjia couldn't help shouting, "Take me there!"
"Wei Chong, little thief!"
"Wei Chong, you piece of shit! You occupy a redundant position, but you are corrupt and illegal. You accept bribes. I have to raise your damn old record, grandma's..."
Cai Xianqing waved the wooden stick and beat the leather drum violently. When he was tired, he panted and threw the wooden stick aside.
"You are brave! What evidence is there!" The officer in the hall picked up a stick and was about to hit him.
Cai Xianqing pointed at his face: "Look clearly, look clearly! The common people can't beat the drum, but I, Mr. Cai, can't beat the drum? I'm going to ask for an explanation today and call Magistrate Ye out!"
"Ah! You old actor, don't talk nonsense, do you really have evidence?" the yamen officer shouted with a blushing face.
"Fuck your mother, your whole family is the actor!" Cai Xianqing couldn't hear these two words and strode forward, spitting directly into his face.
"You want evidence, okay!" After that, Cai Xianqing took out the confession, bit it directly in his mouth, and walked around. The people along the street could see it very clearly. He walked up to the Denwen drum again and beat the leather drum.
, and said something in his mouth.
"Mr. Cai, Yongjia has been waiting for you for a long time." Ye Yongjia leaned against the door, waved to Cai Xianqing, and walked down the stone steps step by step.
Cai Xianqing solemnly walked down, knelt in front of him, and immediately handed over the confession: "These are Wei Chong's words when he interrogated Chen Tong. They were very few, only a few lines, and there was no real evidence in them. They were all Wei Chong's words."
What a wild assumption... and it's even stamped with an official seal, wouldn't it be a great disgrace to the reputation of the government?"
Ye Yongjia was shocked when he saw it. He did not expect that Wei Chong would conduct such a hasty trial in order to retract his confession.
"I hope the prefect can quickly find out the truth and not let these traitors go unpunished!" He kowtowed to the front of the steps with full respect.
Ye Yongjia picked up the confession and looked at the people on the three floors inside and outside. They all widened their eyes and looked at Ye Yongjia's face in disbelief.
"Common people, you have heard what Mr. Cai said is true! Wei Chong has killed countless enemies, and now we can comfort their souls in heaven! We can make a break with these corrupt people..."
Ye Yongjia truly felt that he was doing a good thing for Nanjing.
