"Haha...hehe..." Cai Kun smiled, again with that gloomy and chilling smile.
"Master Cai, look, this..." Governor Li Yan took the letter and asked, "Do I still need to deal with it?"
"Hehe, hehe..." Cai Kun smiled and said nothing, but looked Xu Zun up and down with his eyes.
Depend on!
Xu Zun saw that these three people were all looking at him, and Cai Kun's smile was so sinister, it must not be a good thing, and it was also aimed at himself!
Could it be...that the cause of the riot in Huaxianglou was exposed?
Bah, bah, bah, what does it mean to be exposed? Everyone knows about it already, right?
"Master Cai," at this time, the imperial censor Chen Taiji said to Cai Kun, "this is a small matter that has nothing to do with the case, so we shouldn't need to deal with it, right?"
"You... um..." Cai Kun thought for a while and asked Chen Taiji and Li Yan, "Didn't you two say before that he is Shen Tiande's son-in-law?"
I...k...
Hearing this, Xu Zun fell to the bottom instantly. Who else could Shen Tiande's son-in-law be?
"Yes," replied Li Yan, the governor, "but it seems that you just said that the marriage has not been consummated, right?"
After saying this, Li Yan realized that he had said nonsense and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"That's right?" Cai Kun said with a smile, "Wouldn't that be more interesting? And... have you seen..." He pointed at Xu Zun and said sadly, "Isn't this person's reaction different? Too normal?
"Isn't that right? You see that he has no fear, no excuses, and no resistance. Does this mean he is emboldened?"
emmm…
The strange words of these people made Xu Zun even more confused. What happened? What was written in that letter?
"big……"
Chen Taiji seemed to want to say something more, but because he thought of the previous threat, he finally swallowed it back.
However, the way he looked at Xu Zun was full of pity and disappointment.
"Xu Zun! Xu Changlin's son!" Cai Kun took the letter from Li Yan and went straight to Xu Zun. Lang Lang said, "Now someone has revealed that you committed adultery with a merchant's wife and turned against you after being discovered. He falsely accused that merchant and killed him in prison! I ask you, is this possible?"
Buzz…
Hearing this, Xu Zun's head suddenly buzzed, and he felt like the world was spinning.
"Yo yo yo?" Cai Kun said with an evil smile, "Look at his reaction, what does it mean? Do you think this is a normal thing?"
"Replying to your lord," Xu Zun had to say, "This is purely a false accusation!"
"Okay!" Cai Kun immediately clapped his hands and said, "As expected of Mr. Xu's son, he is courageous!"
"Sir," Qiu Yongnian said from the side, "I am humbled by my knowledge of this matter. The facts are exactly the opposite of what was revealed. It was the merchant who falsely accused Xu County Lieutenant and then committed suicide in prison out of fear of guilt!"
"Oh..." Cai Kun looked at Qiu Yongnian and said with playful eyes, "It seems that your relationship is quite good! But, Magistrate Qiu, let me ask you, did you watch that merchant commit suicide with your own eyes? "
"this……"
In one sentence, Qiu Yongnian will be questioned!
Qiu Yongnian looked at Xu Zun in surprise, doubt in his eyes.
Because, if You Dalang was killed by Xu Zun, it seems more reasonable. Xu Zun is in charge of the prison and has more sufficient conditions!
"So, as a scholar, you need to figure out people's hearts!" Cai Kun said to Qiu Yongnian, "Some people are not as simple as they appear!"
No way?
Xu Zun cursed his mother-in-law Xiong in his heart. In such a moment, he turned into a murderer again!?
"Everyone," Cai Kun continued his performance at this time, turned to everyone evilly and asked, "am I really the only one who noticed that this letter came a little weird?"
oh?
His words caused the officials to think.
"It says that the day Xu Zun killed the merchant was the 18th of this month, but just one day later, the iron coffin case happened! And..." Cai Kun said, "The iron coffin case must have happened in the early morning and night
, so the time between these two cases is not long!
"You really don't think there is any connection here?"
"Well... Your Excellency is wise!" Governor Li Yan said flatteringly, "It seems that this letter came at the right time! We have to check it carefully!"
"Hahahaha," Cai Kun laughed, "It doesn't matter. It's easy to know whether this letter is true! The letter also reported that our Xu County Lieutenant not only harmed the merchant, but also maliciously embezzled a huge amount of the merchant's money.
--property!!!"
…
Boom!
Half an hour later, the door of Xu Zun's house was maliciously knocked open, and the guards broke into the house with weapons in hand!
After breaking in, they immediately rushed to every corner of the house and took control of the entire house.
Later, Cai Kun, who had changed into white official uniform, entered the compound with many officials in high spirits.
Behind them, there were special internal guards escorting Qiu Yongnian, Luo Wanwan and Xu Zun.
Perhaps because of what had been explained in the letter, Cai Kun went straight to Xu Zun's bedroom after entering the house.
At this moment, Xu Zun felt more and more uncomfortable. One was that Cai Kun was so purposeful, which showed that the letter was definitely not fabricated out of thin air!
The other question is, why didn’t I see Xiao Qi?
"Bookcases!" After entering the bedroom, Cai Kunchong told his subordinates, "Open every bookcase and take a look!"
After giving the order, several internal guards immediately rushed forward and opened Xu Zun's bookcases one by one.
As a result, as soon as I opened the first one, I found several large and exquisite baggage!
The inner guard lifted one of them out. It was quite heavy and made a clanging sound when it landed on the ground.
After opening it, a bag full of burden-patterned silver was displayed in front of everyone's eyes!
Then open the lower ones, and you will find expensive Song brocade silk and satin, as well as silkworm treasure clothes and other items. Each one is worth a lot of money.
What's more, most of the silks and satins are embroidered with the eye-catching word "You", which is the logo of the You family silk and satin shop!
After seeing these things, all the officials looked at Xu Zun.
Xu Zunyi was in a daze, completely stupid!
As the saying goes, to capture a thief and capture a king, one must seize the person's filth, but now both the person and the stolen goods are captured. Even if Xu Zun jumped into the Yellow River, he still wouldn't be able to cleanse himself!
I really can’t believe that You Dalang’s disappeared deposit is actually in his own home!?
For a moment, Xu Zun even doubted himself.
"Ouch? It's interesting, it's so interesting!" Cai Kun said with a smile, "There is actually something in stock? It seems that what this informant said is true!
"I really don't understand. You are going to be Shen Tiande's son-in-law, so why would you like this little money? You haven't married yet, but you still dare to commit adultery with someone else's wife. How should I describe a person like you?"
"Scumbag?"
Xu Zun couldn't hold back for a moment and blurted out.
"Scumbag man?" Cai Kun was slightly startled, savoring it carefully, "Scumbag man? Men are like scumbags? This word... tsk tsk, the impact is a bit broad!"
"Sir," the governor Li Yan said at this time, "since Xu Zun has been convicted of killing merchants and occupying property, why not just leave it to me! Don't waste your time!"
"Okay," Cai Kun nodded, "I originally sent and received letters for you! I just did something to eliminate harm for the people."
Hearing Cai Kun speak like this, the guards were already ready to retreat.
However, Cai Kun suddenly thought of something and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Wait! That's not right!"
"Ah?" Li Yan was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cai Kun looked at Xu Zun's room and ordered his guards: "Search for me! Search the entire house! Be careful!"
"yes!"
After giving the order, the guards launched a comprehensive search.
The guards were all rough men. They said they were searching, but in fact they were demolishing the house. They brutally smashed Xu Zun's furniture without saying a word!
Books were destroyed, porcelain shattered, and it was a mess in almost the blink of an eye...
Chen Taiji and others looked at it unbearably, but no one dared to speak out.
Boom!
puff……
When a guard removed the door panel of a certain wardrobe, he kicked it inside. Unexpectedly, the wall inside the closet broke with the sound, and his whole thigh was missing!
"Sir!" he shouted hurriedly, "come and see, the back of this cabinet is empty..."
