Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 882 King Chu has a clever trick

Chief Secretary's Yamen, in the second hall.

After listening to the superior's question, Liu Duangshi said with shock on his face: "They have nothing to do with each other?"

"Well, the court has found out." Lin Zhongmo nodded slightly and said seriously, clasping his fists: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu personally announced that the 'Daotong identity case' has been officially changed to the 'Daotong framed case'."

As he spoke, he was stunned and asked majestically: "Now please tell Liu Duanshi to tell me, how can the Mongolian prisoners in Guangxi know that there is a magistrate in Guangdong named Daotong?"

"This..." Liu Duanshi said with sweat on his forehead: "I don't know how they knew it. When I heard them say the name of the county magistrate when I was questioning the case, I was stunned. I had to go and check it quickly." I know that there really is such a magistrate in Guangzhou. So I believe it."

Then he added: "Now there is no way to verify the death of a person. It may always remain a mystery."

Lin Zhongmo picked up the prisoner's confession sent by the Guangxi Dusi, disrupted the order, and repeatedly asked Liu Duan about it.

Liu Duanshi answered one by one, and every time he answered it perfectly, leaving no flaws.

Seeing his fluent answers, Lin Zhongmo knew that this was not a normal reaction at all. Because normally, after so many days, it would be impossible to remember the conversation between himself and the prisoner so clearly.

Liu Duanshi obviously made great efforts to recite the confession before arriving.

Lin Zhongmo repeatedly asked about the time when he would hear the case, when he notified the Guangdong Public Security Bureau, and when the Guangdong Public Security Bureau sent people there.

When I asked Wang Siyun again, his answer was the same as his.

This shows that the two people have repeatedly exchanged confessions before coming here. The other party is so well prepared that it will be difficult to open the door from them.

~~

As for the Guangdong Public Security Bureau, let alone finding any loopholes. He is a yamen who specializes in solving crimes, and he is also professional in forging false cases. At least with his level, he can't find any clues.

When he questioned Xu Zhengtai, he still didn't have any tangible evidence to question the other party except for the file sent by the prince.

"It seems that we wrongfully accused the county magistrate, and there was a big mistake in our work." After seeing the file, Xu Benya admitted with a sad face: "We want to plead guilty to the emperor and apologize to the county magistrate. We really It’s too arbitrary…”

Lin Zhongmo looked at Xu Benya and said, "Is it as simple as just being arbitrary?"

"There are indeed other mistakes, such as carelessness and procedural problems." Xu Benya reflected deeply and defended:

"When we saw the confession transferred from Guangxi, we thought that those Mongolian prisoners knew Daozhi County, which meant that there must be something wrong with Daozhi County, otherwise they would not know his name at all."

"In addition, now is an extraordinary period, and the army will soon advance into Yunnan. At this time, we must strictly guard against spies, and be strict with them, rather than letting them go in vain. So I sent someone to check, and without further examination, I reported it first. I have no intention of killing him." Xu Benya sighed:

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have continued the investigation after the report was made. It's just that things changed too quickly, and the result was the current situation..."

Lin Zhongmo knew that the implication was that the emperor was anxious to kill him, and it was not us, but he did not dare to say it clearly.

"So what Xu Zhengtai means is that Cha Si is not guilty according to his fault?" he asked in a deep voice.

"No, no, no, he must be guilty." Xu Benya shook his head and said, "Reporting without clear examination is a dereliction of duty!"

As he said this, he pointed to the black gauze hat on his head and said: "When I get back, I will plead guilty and resign." "Take the blame and resign? What a severe punishment." Lin Zhongmo couldn't help but laugh: "Xu Jiantai is really brave enough to take responsibility."

"This is not an ordinary dereliction of duty. Because the emperor almost killed a loyal minister in vain, he must take the blame and resign." Xu Benya said sternly: "Even if the court imposes a more severe punishment, the subordinate will bear it and it has nothing to do with others."

"Good, what a responsible Xu Jiantai..." Lin Zhongmo said mockingly. But in this contest, he was completely defeated.

In the evening, the wind comes from all directions in the pavilion.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Zhen laughed and comforted the depressed Lin Fantai and said: "It's normal. I am an old criminal who has been immersed in this Tao for half his life. He can let you, a famous Neo-Confucian official who has been studying for half a lifetime, find out the flaws. Come?"

"It's really shameful." Lin Zhongmo said dejectedly: "I know they are colluding with each other to make up lies, but I can't expose them. It turns out that they are useless scholars."

"Hey, don't say that. It has nothing to do with whether you are a scholar or not. It only has to do with experience." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said: "In the criminal field, I have a lot of experience. You have little experience, so you can't beat them."

"Then please Your Highness to send another experienced criminal to take on this important task, and I will give him a hand." Lin Zhongmo stood up hurriedly and said to Xian.

"Another person may not be more experienced than them." Lao Liu waved his hand and said: "Do you know how I have defeated those old foxes in the past few years since I debuted? It's not that I have more experience than them, but that I know how to use my strengths and avoid weaknesses. Never let them lead the way."

"Please teach me, Your Highness." Lin Zhongmo said quickly.

"If I were to handle it, this matter would be very simple." Lao Liu smiled and gave him some tips:

"First of all, I will ask myself a very simple question, why is Xu Zhitai led by Yongjiahou, but not Linlin Fantai?"

"My official told His Highness before that there are only two ways to be an official in Guangdong, either to live in harmony with the light or to live alone." Lin Zhongmo replied softly: "We have chosen different paths."

"Right." Zhu Zhen continued: "And it can be simply inferred that Xu Zhitai can do such a head-breaking thing for Yongjia Marquis. He is definitely not an ordinary person who is in harmony with the light. I don't know how much black money he has made."

"It can be inferred that way." Lin Zhongmo nodded.

"However, Xu Jiantai is quite frugal on weekdays, and I have never heard of him accepting bribes."

"Can someone let you know?" Zhu Zhen laughed loudly and said, "This is the Hongwu Dynasty!"

"That's right." Lin Zhongmo smiled bitterly and said, "Whoever dares to reveal his wealth as an official is simply tired of life."

"Then it's over, so our next step is to search his house and get evidence of his corruption." Lao Liu spread his hands and said: "As long as there is a huge amount of property and the source cannot be explained, then won't he just do whatever you want with him? "

"..." Lin Zhongmo thought to himself, "Fuck me, can I still play like this?" Could it be that the emperor’s setting the standards for corruption so low has this meaning behind it?

But when he thought about it again, he felt something was wrong and said, "What if no evidence of crime can be found?"

"How come it can't be found? As long as you want to search, you will definitely find it!" Lao Liu said with wide eyes: "Control all the people in his family, and you have the final say on what is found?"

"Ah..." Lin Zhongmo, a moral celebrity, immediately broke the news. Good guy, if the relationship is not good enough, it has to be framed.
