The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1932

[Chapter 1932 Qiyou Fanwai (7)]

Li Dong came to see Qi You go out, and quickly followed him out. If he didn’t figure it out, he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

After walking out of the torture chamber, Li Donglai walked up to Qiyou and asked, “My lord, how on earth did you recognize that they came from the black face and the black ghost?”

Qiyou ignored him.

Li Donglai said with a bitter face: “My lord, please tell the last commander! Otherwise, I won’t want to sleep tonight.”

Qiyou asked back, “You can’t sleep, what have you got to do with me?” This guy doubted his judgment, how could he possibly confuse him.

Li Donglai was choked.

An hour later, Pan Shengyuan handed the black-faced confession to Qiyou: “My lord, this is the black-faced confession.” When he said this, Pan Shengyuan was more respectful.

Pan Shengyuan said softly: “Bai Zhenghu actually took his favor.” These days, he has been hearing Yangzhou people praise Bai Zhenghu as a good official. So he felt that Zeng Xinde might have made a mistake, and for this reason, he also spoke well for Qiyou in front of him. As a result, reality hit him hard in the face.

Hearing this, Qiyou laughed and said, “You know the person and the face, but you don’t know the heart, you haven’t seen it clearly in the Ministry of Punishment all these years?”

Pan Shengyuan said: “My lord, what he confessed may not be true. I asked him for evidence, but he couldn’t come up with it.” White Fang said that Bai Zhenghu took bribes, which is very likely a false accusation.

Qiyou said: “50,000 taels of silver is not a small amount. Did Rong Tongji give him a silver note or gold and silver?”

Pan Shengyuan shook his head and said, “It was said that at Bai Zhenghu’s request, he gave 5,000 taels of gold. However, he did not give it directly, but put the gold in the designated place. I asked him where to send it, but he couldn’t tell. “This is also the reason why he felt that Bai Zhenghu was wronged.

Qiyou smiled and said, “A person like this, do you think he will take Bai Zhenghu’s handle and use it to threaten him to listen to him?” Such a vicious desperado doesn’t know what to be afraid of.

Pan Shengyuan thought about it too.

Qiyou said: “Let him tell the people behind the scenes, otherwise don’t let him die.”

Pan Shengyuan nodded, he has many ways to make life worse than death. Until now, there are only a handful of people who can withstand those tortures. And he didn’t think the black face could withstand these tortures.

Just as he was talking, he heard the guard come back and report back: “Your Highness, Bai Zhifu, Zhuang Tongzhi and several other officials are asking to see Your Highness.” They copied Rong Yan’s family and Bai Zhenghu asked to see him. Unfortunately, Qiyou didn’t see him at that time.

Qiyou smiled playfully: “Let them in.” These people were probably drawn by Bai Zhenghu! Now he is 100% sure that there is something wrong with Bai Zhenghu.

Bai Zhenghu followed Zhuang Tongzhi and other five officials into the main hall, and saw Qiyou sitting at the top with his hands on the handle.

After the group saluted Qiyou, Bai Zhenghu took the lead and asked, “My lord, I don’t know what serious crime Rong Tongji committed?” And so far, they are all confused.

Qiyou leaned back on the chair and looked at Bai Zhenghu blankly. Before, he really hoped that his guess was wrong. He very much hopes that Bai Zhenghu is really just and honest, dedicated to the people. Because the more officials like the court, the more conducive to the stability of the world. Unfortunately, Bai Zhenghu let him down.

Being watched by Qiyou like this, the pressure in Bai Zhenghu’s heart increased sharply. However, he still asked: “My lord, Rong Tongji is also a famous person in Yangzhou. My lord, now he has no reason to be arrested, and Yangzhou is now panicking.”

He had never seen an imperial envoy who was eating, drinking, and having fun all day, so before today, he also thought that Qiyou was just here to go through the motions this time. But he didn’t expect that Qiyou would not make a move, and he almost scared him to death when he made a move.

Qiyou smiled and asked back: “Do you think this king will copy Rongyan’s family for no reason?”

Before coming to Jiangnan, Qi Hao gave him a secret decree that he could mobilize the army at any time. This is actually a talisman for Qiyou, but I didn’t expect it to be used.

Bai Zhenghu hurriedly lowered his head and said, “I don’t care about the lower officials. Your Majesty, the lower officials must know what serious crime Rong Tongji committed?” Rong Tongji was generous and very loyal. So in Yangzhou, the reputation is very good.

“Rong Tongji and Yan Simao did not commit any crimes.”

When Zhuang Tongzhi heard this, he asked, “My lord, since Rong Tongji and Yan Simao didn’t commit a crime, why did they arrest them and seize their house?”

Qiyou glanced at Zhuang Tongzhi, this man has a straight and hot temper, but his official voice is still good. Of course, these are all rumors. He no longer believed in rumors.

“This king only said that Rong Tongji and Yan Simao were innocent, but did not say that the two were innocent.”

Several officials present were confused, but Bai Zhenghu was the first to speak: “My lord, I don’t know what this means?”

Zhao Qian said: “Rong Tongji and Yan Simao have long since died, and these two are pretending to be their identities.”

Hearing this, Bai Zhenghu and Zhuang Tongzhi looked at each other with horror in their eyes. Unless it is a capital crime, it will not impersonate others.

Qiyou suddenly arrested Rong Tongji and Yan Simao and raided their home. Zhuang Tong knew that he was very worried. He thought that Qiyou was doing something dirty with Rong Tongji, so he wanted to put the other party to death. Once this thing is done, spreading it out in Yangzhou is afraid that there will be trouble.

Zhuang Tongzhi asked, “My lord, I don’t know what the real identities of these two people are?”

“Rong Tongji’s real name is Shen Jiazhi, Yan Simao’s real name is Liu Ergou.” This guy Liu Ergou is very lecherous. He took more than ten concubines, and often went to Tianxianglou. If it wasn’t for Qiyou’s accidental encounter, even if Rong Tongji was finally found to be colluding with officials, if the circumstances were not serious, he would have his family searched and exiled, and he would never have to die.

None of the officials present had heard of this name.

Before waiting for a few people to ask, Qiyou said, “You must have never heard of their real names, but their nicknames must be familiar to you.”

Zhuang Tongzhi immediately asked, “Your Highness, what are their nicknames?”

“Shen Jiazhi’s nickname is Black Mian, and Liu Ergou’s nickname is Nigie.” Not to mention Yangzhou, there is no one in the entire Jiangnan who does not know about Black Mian.

Bai Zhifu was so frightened that he knelt down directly to Qiyou. Several other people also knelt in front of Qiyou.

Zhuang Tongzhi asked, “My lord, can this matter be serious?” Although he knew that Qiyou would not joke about such a big thing, he still wanted to get a positive answer.

“They’ve already admitted it.” Qiyou himself didn’t know that he would meet the ghost face by chance. .

Zhuang Tongzhi knelt on the ground and said, “Your Highness is wise.” Rong Tongji and Yan Simao have been in Yangzhou for so many years, but no one has discovered their true identities. As a result, as soon as King You came, he found that there was a problem with Rong Tongji. In the future, whoever wants to say that King You is absurd and uninhibited, who will he be in a hurry with.

Now that the matter is clear, Bai Zhifu and Zhuang Tongzhi will not stay here any longer.

Qiyou hummed and said, “Bai Zhifu stays, and everyone else goes back.”

Bai Zhenghu said respectfully: “I don’t know what King You needs to do as an official.” The contempt he used to do before has disappeared.

Qiyou smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes: “Rong Tongji said he gave you five thousand taels of gold, so you can give him a convenient door.” Since Rong Tongji said that he only gave it once, there should be no mistake. Now, just the evidence.

Bai Zhenghu was trembling all over, gritted his teeth and said, “My lord, he framed me.”

Qiyou smiled and said, “I can find out if Rong Tongji is hiding so deeply. I will find out if he framed you. However, if you confess now, you can deal with it lightly.”

Bai Zhenghu lowered his head and said, “My lord, I was framed, and I ask the lord to investigate.”

Qiyou said with a sigh: “Don’t worry, I will definitely find out about this matter.” He gave Bai Zhenghu a chance, but unfortunately this man did not cry without seeing the coffin. That being the case, he didn’t want to talk nonsense anymore.

Qiyou’s book was sent to the capital at a normal speed. Because it was not urgent, Qi Hao and Han Jianming finished talking about the matter, and then read his brief.

After reading the excerpt, Qi Hao handed it to Han Jianming.

“Ayou actually grabbed the ghost face and the nigger.” In fact, when Han Jianming was the governor of Jiangnan, this group of people ran rampant in the canal, and he always wanted to destroy this bandit gang. But these people only commit crimes once a year and a half, and they run away after robbing things and killing people. Because they don’t stay alive, no one knows what this group of people looks like. So, those years have not been able to exterminate. In the end, when Han Jianming returned to Beijing to prosecute, he used Zaozao and Liu’er’s dowry as bait to lure them out, and then set up an ambush to kill them. At that time, they also left two alive, and it was only when the two were allowed to identify the corpse that they discovered that the ghost face and the black face had escaped.

Because it was about to commit a crime, a painter was invited to draw the appearance of the two people according to the description of the two living mouths, and then the country was wanted. However, the two disappeared without a trace. Later, there were rumors that the two were dead.

Han Jianming was very surprised and asked, “Qiyou caught the ghost face and the nigger? The two of them are hiding in Yangzhou?”

Qi Hao smiled and said, “Who would have thought that Rong Tongji and Yan Simao, the famous wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou, would be the black faces and black ghosts of the past.”

Han Jianming’s concentration over the years is beyond the reach of others, but he was also shocked when he heard this: “Your Majesty, can this matter be serious?”

“Rong Tongji and Yan Simao have confessed, and even the location of their hidden treasures.” Therefore, there is no such thing as a trick.

Han Jianming couldn’t help admiring: “Ayou really doesn’t speak out, it’s a blockbuster.” As long as this case is spread out, Qiyou won’t have to be criticized by so many people in the future.

Qi Hao smiled and said, “Ayou is just too lazy.” He must be watching from time to time, or else he will be lazy.

Han Jianming said with a smile, “King You has been like this since he was a child, and it’s not that difficult to get him to change.”

Qi Hao said with a smile: “Take your time, don’t worry.” Those rare cases were handed over to Qiyou. In this way, he can no longer be lazy.

“Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent someone to tell me that she will let me go to Baihuayuan. Your Majesty, do you want me to come to the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother, or wait for the Emperor to tell you later.” He believed that the Emperor Taishang and The Queen Mother would be delighted to know this.

Qi Hao smiled and said, “I’m going to Baihuayuan for dinner at night. I’ll tell them later.”

Han Jianming nodded.
