156 How can the madman leave a living mouth
Wei Zhongxian did not deceive Tianqi at all. Wang Wenyan was indeed a commoner, had never read any books, and had no fame.
This guy is a prison officer in She County, Huizhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. He has no rank and is not even qualified to be on the roster of the Ministry of Personnel.
To put it bluntly, he is just a temporary worker with no staff. If he changes to a county magistrate and doesn’t invite him to be a prisoner, he will be unemployed.
However, several county magistrates did not let him lose his job, and even valued him quite a lot.
Because this guy is quite smart and capable, he can do many things that even the county magistrate cannot do because of the complex local relationships.
It is precisely because of his ability that he gradually became famous in the officialdom. After these officials and county magistrates passed down by word of mouth, he gradually became a famous capable man.
It is precisely because of this that he was invited to the capital.
Then, with his ability, he climbed up to the big tree of Donglin and gradually became Donglin's think tank.
It should be said that he is really capable. At the beginning, he did give Donglin a lot of ideas, and it also had a good effect.
For example, break into the palace and save Tianqi from the throne.
For example, Wang An was promoted to serve as the chief etiquette to protect the safety of the Apocalypse.
These are the results of his comments behind his back, otherwise, a stubborn fool like Donglin would not have thought of these.
Unfortunately, it was because he helped Donglin accomplish these big things that he became a little arrogant.
Many times, many people are like this. Once they do something by chance, they will think they can do everything.
A secular person like him is a little out of place with Donglin and other noble gentlemen. Later, Donglin didn't follow him in some matters, so he was a little unhappy and insisted on doing what he wanted to do.
For example, Xiong Tingbi's incident.
President Donglin believes that we should be reasonable, legal, and evidence, and we should not wrongly accuse good people.
Therefore, Donglin's "Qunxian" chose to keep submitting memorials and say good things to Xiong Tingbi, hoping that Tianqi would wake up and release Xiong Tingbi.
However, he believed that it was useless to reason with a gangster like Wei Zhongxian. If you want to save Xiong Tingbi, you have to use a method that Wei Zhongxian can accept.
What method can gangsters accept?
Give money!
As long as the money is in place, there can be nothing that cannot be done.
He thought he was very smart to explore Wei Zhongxian's words for Xiong Tingbi, and saw how much money could make this Jiu Qiansui let go.
As a result, Wei Zhongxian spoke directly and opened 40,000 taels of gold!
How many people can afford this price?
Forty thousand taels of gold, that is fifty or six hundred thousand taels of silver. Xiong Tingbi is not a corrupt official, so how can he get so much money!
In fact, Wei Zhongxian did not intend to let Xiong Tingbi go. The reason why he offered a price was to dig a hole and buried Wang Wenyan.
Wang Wenyan didn't know that he fell into the pit, and he wanted to tell Xiong Tingbi the price, asking Wei Zhongxian to be proud and ask less.
As a result, he was inexplicably arrested and imprisoned!
Wei Zhongxian played this trick with him, but he really didn't expect that he wouldn't be afraid even if he was in the imperial prison.
Because he is good at dancing and making friends, he can speak well even in Wei Zhongxian. He naturally knows Wei Zhongxian's filial son and grandson. The person in charge of the prison was Wei Zhongxian's godson, Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, who was acquainted with him. He didn't know how many times he had drunk wine. Naturally, he was not afraid.
Sure enough, not long after he was arrested and sent to the imperial prison, he was taken to a clean punishment room. Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, sat there waiting for him with a smile.
He also bowed with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, what's going on? Why did I get arrested and came to the prison? Is there any misunderstanding?"
Xu Xianchun asked with a smile: "Don't you know what's going on?"
Wang Wenyan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I really don't know what I have committed. You know, I have always been law-abiding and I can't do anything corruption or abuse of the law."
Xu Xianchun still smiled and said, "Actually it's nothing, it's just the case of Xiong Tingbi. Jiu Qiansui wants to ask you for help."
Isn’t it okay to negotiate the price in the Xiong Tingbi case?
This nine thousand years old is too much of a problem. What's the use of arresting me in prison? Xiong Tingbi doesn't have that much money, and he doesn't have that much money to arrest me!
Wang Wenyan smiled helplessly and said, "Is this price easy to discuss? There is no need to arrest me, right?"
Xu Xianchun shook his head with a smile and said, "The price is easy to talk about. Jiu Qiansui is not looking for you for this. This time Jiu Qiansui just wants you to help you get a certificate."
After saying that, he took out a confession from his arms and handed it over.
testify?
What certificate should I give?
Wang Wenyan took the testimony curiously and saw that the smile on her face suddenly frozen.
Wei Zhongxian actually asked him to testify that the Donglin Party members had accepted bribes from Xiong Tingbi, so they tried their best to excuse Xiong Tingbi!
There are even the number of bribes in the testimony, such as Yang Lian accepts bribes, Zuo Guangdou accepts bribes, and Yuan Huazhong accepts bribes, which is written in a serious way, just like the real one.
What a joke?
Donglin is the Qingliu in the Qingliu. Will they accept bribes?
Is this testimony too ridiculous?
It was obviously Wei Zhongxian who spoke up and wanted to collect 40,000 taels of gold!
He was stunned for a while, then he said cautiously: "Mr. Xu, is this testimony a bit too much?"
Xu Xianchun still smiled and said, "Why do you care about the testimony? I'll ask you, will you help me with this?"
How can I help with this?
Wang Wenyan said a little amused and confused: "This testimony is too ridiculous. Donglin is the Qingliu among the Qingliu. Will they accept bribes? Yang Lian is the most honest official in the world. Will he accept bribes? Lord Xu, do you believe it? Who will believe it if you tell me it!"
What does it matter if I believe it or not, and what does it matter if others believe it or not? As long as the emperor believes it.
Xu Xianchun slowly stopped his smile and asked seriously: "Mr. Wang, I will ask you, is this a blessing, or not?"
I'm afraid you're in your mind?
I am Donglin too, okay? You asked me to frame my own people!
Wang Wenyan put down his testimony and slowly shook his head and said, "There is something else that is easy to say, I really can't help with this."
Unexpectedly, Xu Xianchun suddenly turned his face and said coldly: "Then don't blame me for being rude, I'll be punished!"
A rush, a group of jailmen rushed in and dragged Wang Wenyan to tie the torture shelf.
Wang Wenyan couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Sir Xu, what do you mean?"
He could not imagine that this guy turned against him when he said he was wrong, and he tortured him when he turned against him, without any friendship at all.
Xu Xianchun still said coldly: "Don't I understand enough? If you figure it out and are willing to help, just say it, so as to save more of the pain of flesh and blood."
I can't help this!
Wang Wenyan was tortured to death and couldn't figure out why these guys were crazy, and why they suddenly turned against each other.
As a result, he was tortured to death!
If you die, you can also press your fingerprints.
Wei Zhongxian just took his homemade confession and ran to Tianqi, saying solemnly: "Your Majesty, Wang Wenyan has been called, the rumors are true. Donglin really accepted bribes from Xiong Tingbi. He recruited six people including Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Gu Dazhang, etc. These six people received a total of tens of thousands of taels of gold!"
When Tianqi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Really?"
Wei Zhongxian nodded slowly and said, "Of course it's true. Wang Wenyan has been tricked. How can there be a falsehood? Your Majesty, why don't we arrest Yang Lian and six others for trial first?"
this!
Apocalypse hesitated, "Isn't this good?"
Wei Zhongxian immediately pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Your Majesty, you can't indulge them anymore. They rely on their merits and are lawless. The court has complained! In the long run, who will care about the law and what rules to say? Without the law and without the rules, will the world be in chaos? Your Majesty, you must teach them a lesson this time!"
It was obvious that he was lawless, but he actually said that others were lawless, and his face was not blushing or breathing, pretending to be the same as the real one.
Apocalypse was fooled, and he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, just arrest them for trial and teach them a lesson."
He thought that Wei Zhongxian was really just teaching these people a lesson to serve as a warning, but he didn't know that Wei Zhongxian was preparing to use the knife and kill him!
Wei Zhongxian received Tianqi's approval and immediately ordered Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others to be arrested in the imperial prison, tortured and forced them to confess.
They confiscated Xiong Tingbi's bribe at all, how could they ask?
If the bones of these six people are really hard, no matter what torture Xu Xianchun uses, they just refuse to plead guilty, and even if they are tortured to death, they never let go.
They wanted to keep their innocence, but didn't they know that Wei Zhongxian didn't care whether they were going to do it or not.
Anyway, no matter whether they are trying or not, they will die. Even if they are trying, they will not be able to get out of the imperial prison alive!
