In the prison cell of the Yushitai, Yu Er passed the note hidden under his feet at night and sent a message to Wu Zhi when he was getting into the cell. The smelly Yushi and the jailers left. In their opinion, the two were stubborn.
After so many days, naturally I won’t let go for a while.
After Wu Zhi read the note, he stopped and looked at Yu E with resentment. What he got was a threatening look from him. This look was full of ruthlessness, even cold-bloodedness and indifference, as if it should be done when necessary.
It’s like being sacrificed yourself!
Wu Zhi's heart was full of anger, but on the surface he still pretended to be compromising, because he knew that he had no choice. Once the matter was revealed, or Han Yi caught him in pain, he would have to bite the bullet to death.
If Wang Qin has nothing to do with it, it's all just wishful thinking.
Looking at Yu E's determined expression, Wu Zhi felt a sense of sadness and anger in his heart. He never thought that the Yu E in front of him would be so loyal!
Obviously this guy had made up his mind to get this matter out of Wang Qinruo's body. He didn't send the gold to Wang Qinruo. Even though Wang Qinruo knew about it, there was no evidence!
As long as Wang Qinruo refuses to admit his account, Yu E will take all the responsibility on himself. If he denies it again at this time, Yushitai, who has not even found the gold, will have no way to attack Wang Qinruo!
Although Yu E did not tell him the whereabouts of the gold, he could say the words "safe and secure", which was enough to show that the hiding place was very easy to find.
Wu Zhi knew that as long as no one found the one hundred taels of gold, he would be dead without evidence, and he and Yu E would not have to take the worst path. He believed in Yu E's ability. Since he said he had hidden it in a safe place, then he
You don't have to worry about anything anymore.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with his request to sacrifice himself to protect Wang Qinruo, Wu Zhi didn't have so much resistance when he thought about the powerful Prime Minister of the dynasty. At least he made the mistake in this matter first.
If you pull it out, you and your whole family will be completely ruined.
The handyman in the prison room came over with a rice bowl, put down the food briefly and then got up and left. Wu Zhi suddenly found that Yu E quickly reached out and pulled his tray through the gap under the door, and then
I took out the note from the bottom of the bowl. After reading it quickly, my expression became much more relaxed, and I smiled at myself before I ate the piece of paper.
Wu Zhi knew what he had to do, as long as he refused to admit his guilt, nothing would happen. At least if Wang Qin was fine, he and Yu E would be fine.
Feeling confident, he was no longer so nervous. Seeing Yu Er drinking porridge and eating pancakes there calmly, Wu Zhi started to eat. He had never had a good meal in the prison cell of Yushitai in the past few days.
.
While he was eating something sweet, footsteps came from far and near, and then Wu Zhi's door was opened, making his hand holding the porridge bowl tremble in surprise.
The person who came was not the supervisory censor, but a middle-aged man with a fifth-grade official status. His identity could be seen from his official uniform, Wu Zhi, and Han Yi, who served the censor and knew all the miscellaneous things!
Yu E had told him before that Han Yi was the chief judge of the case and the most powerful censor. Once he caught his sore feet, he would also have to peel off his skin.
Han Yi stood in the prison cell with a smile and glanced at Yu E, who was eating and drinking well and taking a nap next to him, and then said to Wu Zhi: "Today, I will personally interrogate you, so don't take any chances!"
But Wu Zhi also laughed and said: "I can't understand what Han Zashi said! From the moment I entered the Yushitai, my subordinates have always spoken and understood everything. How can you say it's a fluke?"
Seeing that he was still quibbling, Han Yi was not angry. He had already grasped the absolute advantage and there was no need to waste his words here. He just looked at Yu E before turning around and left, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "If you don't want others to know, you won't know it unless you know it."
Mo Wei, your abacus is pretty good, but there are always profits and losses in business! Someone, bring the guilty officer Wu Zhi to court!"
After Han Yi said that, seeing Yu E still had an indifferent expression, he sneered in his heart and left. If he hadn't mentioned his pain points, he wouldn't have been so calm and indifferent. The chief interrogators came and deliberately didn't look at him.
Isn’t there a ghost in my heart?!
Indeed, as Han Yi guessed, although Yu E was still leaning on the couch at this time, his heart was already overwhelmed. What did this mean? Could it be that he had discovered the whereabouts of the gold?! Impossible!
He knew the relationship between Lan Kwai Fong and Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion, but he did not believe that Ye An would tell Han Yi the news of the hundred taels of gold. This was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to steal his own money!
But he didn't know that Qin Mumu had been cooperating under Ye An's instruction from the beginning and left the gold in Lan Kwai Fong. The gold ingots were stamped like the silver coins. What did they come from?
The place and the yamen where it was exchanged are all marked in detail. Unlike copper coins, you can't tell where they were transferred.
As for the gold ingots and silver coins without marks, they cannot be used at all. If you dare to use them, you will be arrested by the police. When you get to the Yamen, you must clearly explain the origin of these gold and silver.
It can be said that these golds all come with "identity cards". After all, such precious things cannot be used easily, but this time it became a fatal blow to Wu Zhi and Yu E.
Above the court and below the Nuan Pavilion, Han Yi was not busy questioning Wu Zhi, but asked someone to remove the wooden shoes from his feet. This kind of heavy wooden shoes was the last dignity given to officials.
The cuffs are attached to the feet and cannot be removed. Movement in a small area is not a problem, but escaping is impossible.
Not only did he take off his wooden shoes, Han Yi also asked someone to hand him a cup of tea: "Don't rush to ask questions, let's talk about Xinfan County. You are the county captain in Xinfan County and are only in charge of public security and catching thieves."
, but even so, it is able to grind down the inferiors, which really surprises me!"
Speaking of this, Wu Zhi couldn't help being surprised and whispered: "The reason why the survey is inferior is because Xinfan County is located in the middle of Shu, surrounded by mountains and full of bandits..."
"Oh? You think I have never been to the middle of Shu? People in Shuchuan call it Pi, and Fan means Gaoyu, which means a fertile and prosperous place! In such a fertile land, there are very few bandits and bandits. Why do they gather in groups?
And plundering the city?! Zhou Tai’s death was also caused by banditry, and you, the Xinfan County captain, can hardly escape the blame!"
Seeing Han Yi mention Zhou Tai's death, Wu Zhi was startled again. This was something he tried his best to avoid. He quickly said: "It's not related to bandits, but it's actually because the five-foot road is narrow and difficult to navigate. The driver is not familiar with the road."
That’s when he fell off the cliff.”
"You, a low-level Kanmo, still want to wait for selection in Beijing?"
"Just try your luck."
"Oh, your one hundred taels of bribe money has been found. It has the official seal of Xinfan County. It's a time of great hardship, even if you don't recognize it, you can't do it!"
Han Yi suddenly mentioned gold, catching Wu Zhi off guard. He was slightly startled and then said with a wry smile: "Why did Han Yushi think that the subordinate bribed Mr. Wang? If he was seeking personal gain, how could he send someone to inquire without giving him money?
?”
Han Yi chuckled and said, "That's tough to say. Do you know why the hundred taels of gold were not delivered?"
Seeing that Wu Zhi didn't answer, Han Yi clapped his hands and said to the door: "Bring the dirt over and let Wu County Lieutenant Haosheng see if it belongs to him!"
