He Jun saw hope in his eyes and said impatiently: "President, this is definitely a frame-up by Wei He. I went outside the study and saw Wei He walking out of my room. That time, it must have been Wei He who framed me. The letter was placed in my study, and because I severely punished Wei He, I coincidentally gave Wei He an excuse to report it, and what happened next happened."
He looked anxious, worried that Li Zhen wouldn't believe it, so he spoke again: "President, I must have been framed. I definitely never thought of assassinating Vice Premier Shi."
Li Zhen looked very calm and said calmly: "According to your statement, since Wei He deliberately framed you, then Wei He would always do it when it was beneficial to frame you. This means that there are people behind Wei He. Tell me, who is behind the scenes?" Who the person might be.”
"this……"
He Jun was speechless immediately. This was something he had not expected.
Who is the mastermind behind this?
Li Zhen smiled and asked, "Could it be Ximen Hong?"
"No, probably not."
He Jun didn't even think about it and immediately shook his head in denial. When he was caught by Liu Jintang, Ximen Hong kept saying good things to him. How could such a person frame him later?
After hearing this, Li Zhen's eyes flashed with appreciation.
Although He Jun, the governor, is old, he has principles.
If it were an ordinary person who was framed, and the interrogator suddenly suggested that someone else might be instigating the crime, he would probably turn the finger directly on Ximen Hong. However, He Jun did not agree with Li Zhen's statement, which is enough to prove that this old gentleman was A principled and modest gentleman will not bite others because he is suspected. Although He Jun was suspicious when Ximen Hong was talking to He Jun, it was unfounded. When he thought of Ximen Hong's eager concern for him, He Jun became suspicious. Throw all doubts behind you.
Li Zhen already had the answer in his mind, and he continued to induce: "Think carefully about whether there is anything unusual about Ximen Hong during this period, and whether there is anything worthy of suspicion."
abnormal.
Questionable.
Li Zhenyi reminded He Jun that he felt relieved.
Perhaps the president still doubts Ximen Hong.
He Jun no longer concealed anything and said: "Speaking of which, after the President arrived in Chengdu, Ximen Hong was indeed a little unusual. At that time, the President proposed overturning the case against the assassination of Vice Premier Shi Dakai. Ximen Hong strongly opposed it. A few days ago, Ximen Hong came to my office specifically to find me, hoping that I would come to the President and persuade him to stop the investigation of Vice Premier Shi Dakai."
"At that time, Ximenhong's reason was that the president overturned the conclusion that Vice Premier Shi Dakai was assassinated. This was a distrust of Sichuan provincial government officials. But I thought that I was very old at the time, and since the president had made up his mind, he must It was impossible to change course, so we rejected Mayor Ximenhong’s request.”
After a pause, He Jun continued: "In addition, when the President just arrived, Ximen Hong also strongly opposed it, hoping that the President would stop the investigation of Vice Premier Shi Dakai."
He Jun looked up at Li Zhen and said, "President, these are the only things I know."
Li Zhen changed the subject and asked: "What is your connection with the people from the six major families?"
He Jun said: "We all know each other, but our relationship is very ordinary."
A smile appeared on Li Zhen's face. From He Jun's questions and answers and the answers from the six major families, Li Zhen was basically sure that this was planned by Ximen Hong, and Li Zhen had to admire Ximen Hong's methods. , if six major families had not pushed Ximen Hong out at the critical moment, this matter would have been so seamless that no one would have thought that a steward at the governor's residence was actually Ximen Hong's employee.
Such a method can be said to be the best in the world.
Such scheming is intimidating.
Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Governor He, I already know something about the assassination of Vice Premier Shi. I will temporarily let you stay in the military camp for a few days, and I will let you go afterwards."
"understand."
He Jun breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Li Zhen would definitely arrest the person behind the scenes.
Li Zhen asked He Jun to stay, and then ordered people to bring Jiang Changbai up. Not long after, Jiang Changbai came to the office. With a look of fear on his face, Jiang Changbai said: "President, I have not broken any laws, why are you arresting me?" .”
"Snapped,."
Li Zhen slapped his hand on the desk, making a loud noise that scared Jiang Changbai and shuddered.
Jiang Changbai looked at Li Zhen and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Li Zhen said with a straight face: "Currently, I have found out that Ximen Hong planned the assassination of Vice Premier Shi Dakai. As Ximen Hong's accomplice, and you are in charge of criminal matters, tell me, what should I do? I'm going to deal with you."
Jiang Changbai shook his head repeatedly and said: "President, no, this matter has nothing to do with Mayor Ximen, but was led by Governor He Jun. Only Governor He Jun has such a powerful method."
Li Zhen laughed, and that smile made Jiang Changbai panic.
Jiang Changbai said: "President, every word of mine is the truth."
Li Zhen sneered twice and said disdainfully: "You still refuse to tell the truth. You are really a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. It's a pity. It's a pity. You and Ximen Hong are very shrewd and did not leave any loopholes. But they missed a little bit. After understanding the attitude of the six major families, I just made a promise and gave a little sweetener, and everyone in the six major families changed their minds and confessed what Ximen Hong had done."
Jiang Changbai's face was horrified, but he remained calm and said: "President, this is definitely a slander from the six major families. The six major families colluded with Governor He Jun to murder Vice Premier Shi."
Li Zhen stared at Jiang Changbai sideways and continued: "After the members of the six major families confessed, Wei He also confessed. This person who was installed by Ximen Hongan in the governor's mansion put the framed letter in He Jun's study and came out. At that time, he was bumped into by He Jun, so he was beaten, and then took the opportunity to complain. Although all this was very secret, he confronted people from the six major families, and when he saw the six major families changed their minds, they also confessed to Ximen Hong. What you did was confessed to you, otherwise how could I have caught you so quickly."
"Ah~~"
Jiang Changbai exclaimed, his face already pale.
At first, Jiang Changbai still held out hope when he heard that people from the six major families were recruiting.
Unfortunately, Wei He's confession was like a straw that crushed Jiang Changbai's last hope. The two most important clues had been grasped by Li Zhen. Ximen Hong was already in danger. Jiang Changbai looked at Li Zhen and saw Li Zhen's cold expression. After making the decision, he said loudly: "President, I will recruit, I will recruit, please spare my life, President."
"explain."
Li Zhen said coldly.
Jiang Changbai grimaced and said quickly: "Everything was instigated by Mayor Ximen Hong. At first, because Vice Premier Shi Dakai's land reform affected Ximen Hong's interests, Ximen Hong wanted Shi Dakai to leave in disgrace, so he Planned the assassination; when the president arrived, Ximen Hong realized that something was wrong with his gaffe, so he used the chess pieces planted in the governor's mansion to take down He Jun. This not only made He Jun a shield, but also created opportunities for him to be promoted to the provincial level. Opportunities for a long time.”
Li Zhen nodded, with a smile on his lips.
With Jiang Changbai's confession, the truth has come to light and Ximen Hong cannot escape.
