"" Chapter 356: Everything goes well?
The reason why Wang Zhizhou loses his composure is because he has a guilty conscience and knows how terrible it is for an arrogant official like Li You to do whatever he wants once he loses control. Looking at Sizhou City now, if he is illegally detained by Li You, who else will
Can it still restrain Li You?
Zhou Tonghe and other assistant officials like him? Do you have the guts to not mention it? Not to mention the joke. Eunuch Hai, the eunuch who guards the mausoleum? It’s not more than a hundred years ago. The eunuchs no longer have this power. Besides, Eunuch Hai himself still has
question.
Wang Zhizhou deeply regretted why he didn't have the courage to strike first as Li You. Even if he didn't dare to hold Li You captive, he couldn't be beaten to death passively.
This is the gap in experience. When people like Li You encounter something bad, they will immediately find excuses to push the blame away. This has become a subconscious and instinctive behavior. Wang Zhizhou still needs to think about it in his mind. After all, he is a slow chess player.
one move.
Looking at Wang Zhizhou being restrained by his men, Li You glanced at it twice and lost interest in looking at it again. From the bottom of his heart, he did not regard an official of this level as an opponent. Out of caution, he would not enter Sizhou City and return back.
Wang Zhizhou must be imprisoned in Yujiacun.
However, in this way, Li You forced himself onto the road of no return. A sixth-grade dared to imprison another sixth-grade without asking for permission. It was decisive enough, but it was also a serious crime and violated the red line of official circles. Even if he was
Jinyiwei North Town Fusi went to get people, at least to create a driving sticker.
If there is not a strong enough statement in the end, the court will not let Li You go. But compared with the major incident of the embankment collapse of the Zuling Tomb, Li You believes that the risk is worth taking, and such a decision must be made. Once he thinks about the future, let the king
If Zhizhou has a chance to turn things around, the responsibility may fall on him.
Again, even if the embankment breach was not man-made, Li You still had to create a man-made fact. In any case, it was not a flood that overturned the dam, but a breach of the embankment. Someone must bear the responsibility, as long as it is not him.
When Li You was thinking about his next move, he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that Eunuch Hai, the eunuch guarding the mausoleum, turned around and was about to leave quietly without others noticing. He then hurried forward, grabbed Eunuch Hai from behind and said, "As a human being,
Eunuch guarding the mausoleum, the collapse of the embankment is also related to you, so don't leave and go with me."
Eunuch Hai really doesn't want to be with a dangerous person like Li You. He is so crazy that he openly relies on force to arrest officials of the same rank as him. What else can't he do?
Although their eunuchs are the emperor's domestic slaves, there seems to be no precedent in this dynasty for ministers to take the initiative to arrest eunuchs in charge. But who knows whether Li You will be the first to create a trend? It is better to return to the ancestral mausoleum early and feel safer. Not only will there be guards to protect the mausoleum,
Protection, and Li You would definitely not dare to rush into the ancestral mausoleum to arrest people.
"Hey, I leave everything to Mr. Li, I..." Eunuch Hai, who was as guilty as Zhizhou, had not finished speaking when two strong men caught him on the left and right, and they couldn't help but follow Li You forward. At the critical moment,
Li Youcai didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
The people who were watching only felt that Mr. Li captured Zhizhou and kidnapped the eunuch in just a few moments, which was unparalleled and domineering, which made people look up to him.
If a knowledgeable person in the officialdom sees this scene, he will definitely exclaim that Li You is crazy! But it is understandable that he is crazy. The collapse of the ancestral mausoleum embankment, which is related to the destiny of the country, gives him a crazy enough excuse. Either he will die or he will die.
When others die, it's really life and death. It's not normal unless you're crazy.
What should we do next? Li You calmly thought about it in his mind. Based on historical experience, it is estimated that the inner embankment of the Zuling Mausoleum can last about two days, and there is still relatively plenty of time. Therefore, the top priority is not to evacuate the people of Sizhou in a panic, but to
We must seize the time to arrest all those involved in the breach, otherwise it will be a long night and it will be difficult to deal with chaos in the future.
Mr. Li immediately called all the nearby river workers over and asked, "Do you know where the civilian guards are guarding the section where the embankment broke?"
Someone with knowledge replied: "That section was assigned to Mazhuang outside Ximen. I don't know exactly who it is."
Mazhuang... Li You thought to himself twice, didn't Wang Zhizhou's beloved concubine come from Mazhuang? Speaking of which, it was another coincidence. Can it still be considered a coincidence? Speaking of which, if there was a beheading,
If you want to do something, you must find someone you trust most, preferably a relative.
When the flood situation was urgent, the civil servants were on duty on the embankment. Those people from Mazhuang should be there. Li You immediately sent people to the other side to get people. But a quarter of an hour later, he received a report from his subordinates: "The Mazhuang civil servants said that after the embankment broke,
The office is in charge of five people, brothers Ma Erlang and their two sons, Ma Dalang from their village, and Ma Dalang did have a daughter who married Wang Zhizhou. However, they are all missing at this time. It is possible that they were washed away after the embankment broke."
When he heard that he was the father and brother of Wang Zhizhou's concubine Ma, Li You, who guessed correctly, excitedly felt that the truth was about to come out. But when he heard that he was missing, he became anxious again. These people are crucial and cannot be let go. If it is true
These people must have had something to do with the man-made accident. The embankment was carefully guarded in sections. How could others hide what they were doing?
Li You thought again, given the premise of a man-made accident, would they be so stupid as to destroy the embankment and wash themselves away? The next method, Li You, who is well versed in all kinds of local tricks, can tell it for Wang Zhizhou, it is nothing more than
It was reported that these civil service embankments were destroyed and people died, and there was no way to pursue them, and then they were sent to other places with fake names, fake directions, or fake household registrations.
It can be seen from Wang Zhizhou that he was not mentally prepared for being caught. Those few people were probably the same at this time, so they were probably just hiding somewhere according to the plan, and it was not too far away.
No matter where he is hiding, since the other party is not prepared at this time and his wife and children are probably still at home, then he will first search their home and lure these five people to show up.
Having made up his mind, Li You led twenty guards and twenty archers, escorted Wang Zhizhou, and took Eunuch Hai to the direction of Yujiacun and Mazhuang.
When they arrived at the entrance of Mazhuang Village, they captured a guide and dozens of people went to the home of Ma Dalang and Ma Erlang.
To Li You's expectation, Ma Dalang, Ma Erlang and others were all sleeping at home, and they were easily picked up from the bed.
It turned out that these five people had worked hard all night last night and were exhausted, so they quietly sneaked home to sleep. Because they were protected by Zhizhou, they were a little paralyzed. They just thought about replenishing their energy after half a day before planning, but they were unexpectedly attacked.
Mr. Li caught him right.
In this regard, Li You could only shout, God help me! Fortunately, these people were careless, and fortunately, he acted quickly and did not give the other party more time to react.
Things were developing smoothly step by step in the direction he had envisioned. Seeing Wang Zhizhou's pale face again, Li You suddenly felt that Wang Zhizhou was a very good person.
Everyone likes to meet someone who helps take responsibility without taking any credit. If he had known that Wang Zhizhou was so brave to create responsibility and take responsibility, why would he still be entangled?
It's a pity that Wang Zhizhou's benefits after taking responsibility will be cut off by him. Li You imagined that in the future, the world would spread the news that Wang Zhizhou was rebellious and broke the embankment to flood the ancestral mausoleum, and that Mr. Li had no choice but to release the flood in Sizhou to turn the tide. By then, the imperial court
How should I reward myself?
Mr. Li returned to Yujia Village and used the ancestral hall as a temporary hall. He interrogated the five members of the Ma family without waiting and forced Eunuch Hai to watch.
Bang! Li You slapped the case and said: "Today's incident of the Zuling embankment bursting, the following five people have been summoned as it is! I already know it very well, you don't have any delusions to hide it! You must have seen it too, the king of Zhizhou
Your Excellency has been taken into custody, you don’t need to count on him anymore.”
Facts have proved that Mr. Li's day was too smooth and he had completely resolved his tangled state of mind, which resulted in him being too optimistic.
I saw that Ma Dalang kowtowed and said: "Master, you are aware of it! The young men are really tired from guarding the embankment these days, so they went home privately to rest. But we don't know why the embankment broke."
This kind of answer was expected by Li You. He has judged so many cases, and some situations can be easily guessed in advance. As for not attacking, the old method is to fight!
After beating back and forth, Ma Dalang confessed again: "You guys are here! Today, when the kids were guarding the embankment, they unexpectedly broke the embankment. The kids were afraid of being punished, so they fled home and prepared to run away to other places. But...
I don’t want you to know everything and be willing to take the blame!”
Who wants to listen to you? Li You scolded: "You are a trickster! Why did the embankment collapse when you were so good? It must be related to you, why don't we call it in quickly, otherwise the officials and the law will be ruthless!"
But after interrogation and interrogation, no matter how hard they were tortured, the five Ma family members gritted their teeth and just admitted that the breach of the embankment was caused by floods and had nothing to do with them.
Li You knew very well what these people were thinking. If they admitted it, they would be punished by the clan and even be punished. If they did not admit it, they could at least save Wang Zhizhou and the rest of the Ma family.
Torture like this is not the answer, but Li You can't provide any evidence. He doesn't have much time left, so he can't just throw him into a dark prison like he did in the county government when he encounters a die-hard who is stubborn and ineffective in torture.
Kill your will.
Although the case is very flexible these days, and a confession is not necessarily required. The case can be closed if there is evidence. But the problem now is that there are indeed many coincidences in this case. These coincidences guided Mr. Li to arrest Wang Zhizhou and the five members of the Ma family.
.However, these coincidences all come from Mr. Li’s free will and subjective opinions, and cannot form complete evidence.
If the target is just a commoner, that's fine. It's easy to manipulate. But when it comes to Wang Zhizhou, a high-ranking official who has been illegally detained by Li You, how can he just fool him? If he is not careful, he may be violated.
The backlash, after all, he committed a taboo first.
Not only does Wang Zhizhou have an official position, but also because this fact is so shocking that people cannot imagine that the Ming Dynasty had the intention to flood the ancestral mausoleum. How can people believe it if there is no strong personal or physical evidence? The case is presented
How to convince people? I'm afraid Mr. Li will be regarded as a random injustice, in order to shirk the responsibility for the breach of the embankment.
So Li You fell into a difficult situation. He found that although he seemed to be able to conquer everything with his strength, his biggest weakness was that he had no evidence and was like a giant with feet of clay.
Evidence may not be available when trying cases in the past, but it must be present today. Without evidence, his actions cannot be legalized.
