Chapter 228 Talk about conditions

Chapter 228

Zhang Hao walked quickly to the Jinyiwei prison, and Lu Bing came out immediately after seeing Zhang Hao.

"Meet Lu Anhou!"

"I've seen the commander, you got up so early?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile when he saw Lu Bing.

"Hey, old people can't fall asleep, unlike you, who can stay in bed now!" Lu Bing said with a wry smile, and then asked Zhang Hao: "I heard that they all said it, but is it true? ?”

"I don't know either, I'll go and have a look, and I'll tell you when I finish reading!" Zhang Hao said and continued to walk forward,
Lu Bing originally wanted to follow, but after hearing what Zhang Hao said, it was difficult to continue. Zhang Hao's meaning was obvious, this matter has nothing to do with you, and soon, Zhang Hao arrived at Jinyiwei Prison, and found that those people were all Already asleep.

"My lord, look at the confessions of those people. They are all here, including how much money they have been corrupted. We have also asked them about other things, and we have confessed everything!" Shen Lian came over with those transcripts, facing Zhang Hao said,

Zhang Hao, on the other hand, sat down and looked at the confessions carefully. He didn’t know if he didn’t read them. He was really frightened when he saw them. Since he became an official, the amount of money corrupted by these people has been no less than 1500 million taels. People, who have served as prefects for fifteen or sixteen years, have served in two or three places, and they are all like this,
Some people were Fu Cheng before. When they were Fu Cheng, they started to be corrupt, and they could continue to be transferred to the prefect. Zhang Hao sat there and watched carefully. If there are less than 100 people, they are all corrupted together, and there are even officials from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry!
The officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites were also involved. Some people gave generous gifts to those officials in order to get promoted.

However, what made Zhang Hao feel strange was that the people here were not involved with those three cabinet ministers. Zhang Hao thought for a while, maybe their level was not as high as the cabinet ministers.

Zhang Hao sat there and watched for almost an hour before he finished reading all the confessions.

And on Jiajing's side, Jiajing also felt very strange at the moment. No matter what happened to Zhang Hao's side, he would come here in the morning to take a look. After seeing himself, he would do other things, but he didn't come this morning. Jiajing Thinking about it, it is estimated that the case is being investigated now, but the investigation is also okay, and Zhang Hao will come here first.

"Lu Fang, why didn't Zhang Manzi come over this morning?" Jiajing looked at Lu Fang and asked.

"Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know, why don't you send someone to ask?" Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said to Jiajing.

"No, wait a minute, this child probably has something to do, it may be related to the investigation, but how can those officials spit it out so easily?" Jiajing shook his head and said.

"Yes, I guess I'll come over later!" Lu Fang also nodded in agreement.

After Zhang Hao finished reading the confessions, he immediately began to interrogate those officials. The first to be interrogated was Liang Qingzhou, the prefect of Shunde Prefecture.Liang Qingzhou was woken up by those Jin Yiwei. He had been asleep for more than two hours.

When Liang Qingzhou arrived at the interrogation room, he saw Zhang Hao sitting there and lowered his head.

"Isn't it because you saw me that you can tell the whereabouts of the money?" Zhang Hao sat there, staring at Liang Qingzhou and asked.

"Lu Anhou, I have a condition. If I let my son and daughter go, I will tell you everything. Otherwise, I won't say anything. I know. If I do, my son and daughter will all die! If you don't Promise, I will let all that money rot in the ground!" Liang Qingzhou said to Zhang Hao immediately.

"All the sons and daughters?" Zhang Hao heard it, smiled and looked at Liang Qingzhou.

"That's right, all of them! My wife, me, and those concubines can all die, but our children cannot die!" Liang Qingzhou said firmly.

"That's impossible, if you don't tell me, I will let your son and daughter die in front of you. You know I can do it, and you are the state capital below the capital, and you have heard of me handling cases like this!" Zhang Hao Sitting there, staring at him and talking.

"I know, my lord, I admit that I am guilty, but I have said everything, including who I colluded with, I have said everything, I spit out so much useful information, no matter what, it is considered meritorious service, so you can't let me go Those children?" Liang Qingzhou sat there and said very sadly.

"I can only tell you that I can guarantee that your children under the age of six will be able to live. I can't guarantee anything else!" Zhang Hao looked at Liang Qingzhou and said.

"But they are so young, how can they survive?" Liang Qingzhou stared at Zhang Hao and said angrily.

"All enter Jiaofang Division!" Zhang Hao said coldly.

"That won't work, Marquis Lu An, they are still young, they don't understand anything, they can't be sent to Jiaofang Division, please, I know I'm wrong, I've already said everything, this is my last card, if you If you don’t agree, I’d rather kill myself by biting my tongue, and I won’t say anything! It’s death anyway!” Liang Qingzhou said to Zhang Hao while sitting there.

"In that case, I promise you, you don't need to go to the Jiaofang Division, but your relatives can pick you up, how about it?" Zhang Hao looked at Liang Qingzhou and said.

"No, they will abuse my children!" Liang Qingzhou said while sitting there shaking his head.

"You are not qualified to negotiate with me. Although those young children are innocent, are your eldest son, second son, eldest daughter, and second daughter innocent? Your eldest son is involved in your corruption process. went in,
Your eldest daughter and second daughter are all married to corrupt officials. They got a huge dowry. Are they innocent?Of course, I know that their sins are not worthy of death, but this is the law of Daming, and you know the law of Daming better than me! Zhang Hao stared at Liang Qingzhou and said very seriously.

"Lu Anhou, I know, I know everything, please, please go to the emperor's side and ask for a favor? Please, we all know that if you go to the emperor's side to beg for mercy, the emperor will definitely agree, please. You, you just look at the situation where we have said everything, help us!" Liang Qingzhou cried and said to Zhang Hao at the moment,

Zhang Hao sighed.

"Marquis Lu An, if you do this, keep my eldest son and bring those children who are not yet six years old, let them live, and I will make them thank you for your kindness forever!" Liang Qingzhou continued to say to Zhang Hao.

"Impossible. I can relax to ten years old. This is what I can do. In addition, among your concubines, I will increase the degree of their participation and release one or two. As for your eldest son, I'm sorry. , he also committed a crime, I can't let him go!" Zhang Hao looked at Liang Qingzhou and said,
Liang Qingzhou heard it, nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, they don't know about my concubines, some of them were bought by me, and some were robbed by me openly and secretly!"

"That way, I won't ask you where the money is now, I want to interrogate them, if this is the same request, I will go to ask the emperor for instructions!" Zhang Hao looked at Liang Qingzhou and said.

"Thank you Lu Anhou, thank you Lu Anhou, your great kindness will be repaid in the next life!" Liang Qingzhou stood up after speaking, and then knelt down.

"Take it away!" Zhang Hao waved his hand with a sigh, and then asked Jin Yiwei to take the next one.

"My lord, don't sympathize with them!" Shen Lian persuaded Zhang Hao.

"I don't sympathize with them, because there are indeed innocent people here, including those children over ten years old. Some of them don't know what's going on and are about to die. I sympathize with those children! As for adults, it's nothing Those who are sympathetic, they deserve what they deserve, and they can't live their own crimes, so what can they do?" Sitting there, Zhang Hao said with a sigh,
Then, Zhang Hao continued to interrogate the other prisoners, with the same meaning, hoping to save those children, explaining that they had colluded with the confession before, and they colluded in the prison of the Criminal Ministry, because in the Jinyiwei prison, they were all held in solitary confinement. May collude.

After interrogating the prisoners, Zhang Hao went to the palace. It was almost noon now. When Zhang Hao arrived at the palace, Jiajing was very happy, but seeing Zhang Hao's expression, it seemed that something was wrong.

"What's the matter, you didn't come early in the morning!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Hey, they all vomited, I want to strike while the iron is hot, and ask clearly, but, hey, the emperor, these are their confessions, look, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat something!" Zhang Hao said those confessions Send it to Jiajing's desk.

"Have you said everything? So fast?" Jiajing asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Yes, I've told you everything, except where the money is hidden. I didn't tell you, Your Majesty, you can read it first before talking about it!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"Okay, don't go to the cafeteria to eat, Lu Fang, go prepare the food, eat here!" Jiajing nodded and told Lu Fang,

Then I took those confessions and looked at them. On the way, Jiajing slapped the table several times angrily, because these confessions involved too much money and people, some of the money was for disaster relief, and some of the money was for raiding the common people. Money, these people who can be forced have no way out.

After a while, Lu Fang brought the food, and Zhang Hao just sat there and ate in silence,

Lu Fang felt that Zhang Hao was a little strange today, as if Zhang Hao was not happy at all after those confessions came out, but seeing Jiajing getting angry there, she thought, maybe he was just like Jiajing, feeling angry at the behavior of those officials.

It was also about an hour before Jiajing finished reading the confessions. After reading, Jiajing took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, then stood up, and walked around the alchemy room with his hands behind his back.

Then he came to Zhang Hao's side and asked, "What condition are they not revealing where the money is hidden?"

"Ah, your majesty, do you know?" Zhang Hao said, looking at Jiajing in surprise.

"I'm not stupid. They talk about everything, except the location of the money. They don't want to talk about terms, but what?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said, very angry, how dare they talk about terms?
