Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 599 Fraud?
Di Renjie said coldly: "Now, Wang Zhou has been killed and silenced. I'm afraid he can't come to confront you. But the confession signed by him is enough to send you to Sansi for interrogation. One point, you should be clearest in your heart."

Yang Jiuzheng trembled all over and said: "My lord, I really don't know about these things, I hope my lord will find out!"

Di Renjie looked at him and said coldly: "Sooner or later, the truth will come to light."

Yang Jiucheng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, "Yes, yes."

Di Renjie said: "It's still the same question, Master Yang, please answer: Why did the Jianghuai Transshipment Envoy's salt fleet capsize in Hangou, while other ships passed unimpeded?"

Yang Jiucheng hurriedly argued: "My lord, this is just a coincidence, an accident, and a humble job can't explain it."

Di Renjie said: "Coincidence! Accident!? There are more than a dozen coincidences, so it's not a coincidence, and of course it's not an accident! All of this is probably expected, right?"

Yang Jiucheng raised his head in surprise, and said innocently, "My lord, where do you start with this?"

Di Renjie sneered and said, "Where do we start? Let's start with the official salt who fell into the water and disappeared mysteriously!"

Yang Jiuzheng's face changed, and he stammered: "Then...the official salt...was swept away by the undercurrent under the water, maybe it was melted into the water. Every time the ship capsized, the humble official would personally lead People went to salvage, but...but nothing was caught."

Di Renjie sneered: "Go to salvage after a few days after the incident, of course you won't get anything, because someone has already landed before that!"

Yang Jiucheng trembled all over, dumbfounded and said: "Jie, get there first? This, this..."

Di Renjie fixed his eyes on him and said, "What is this? Could it be that this pavilion is wrong!"

Yang Jiucheng swallowed, gritted his teeth and said, "The humble job doesn't understand what adults mean."

Two cold lights shot out of Di Renjie's eyes: "Let me ask you, why didn't you lead people to salvage the accident site on the night or the next day when the salt boat capsized, instead of waiting a few days later?"

At this time, Yang Jiuzheng's mind was in chaos, he was at a loss and said: "My lord, my lord, it has been a few days since I learned the news of the shipwreck, this, this is..."

Di Renjie interrupted him and said: "As the head of the Cao Yamen, it took a few days to find out about such a serious case in the government. I think you, an official, have done it well!"

Yang Jiucheng was trembling all over, and cold sweat rolled down his face.

Di Renjie pressed on and asked: "Let me ask you again, what kind of undercurrent can carry hundreds of thousands of official salts in the salt boats each time? What's more, such a large amount of official salt is packed in sacks. How long does it take to dissolve in water?"

Yang Jiucheng stammered and said: "My lord, this, this is something in the dark, how can a humble official know!"

Di Renjie said awe-inspiringly: "You are in charge of water transportation, and you don't even know about such a serious case! Do you know? Just based on this, this court can dismiss you in court! Come!"

The deacons on both sides stepped forward and said, "Yes!"

With a "plop", Yang Jiucheng knelt down on both knees, kowtowed and said: "My lord, my lord, the sinking of the boat in Hangou is a strange thing. If you want to know the truth and hang yourself to death, I beg your lord to find out!"

Di Renjie snorted, and said: "What a sharp mouth, to use the dead Mr. Li Han as an excuse, really can be regarded as coquettishness."

Yang Jiucheng kowtowed and said, "Don't dare to be humble!"

Cui Liang who was on the side said: "Mr. Ge, Mr. Yang is ignorant of things, lax and slack, and neglected to investigate. This is indeed a serious fault, and it is very appropriate to dismiss him from office.

However, today, the reason for the shipwreck in Hangou has not yet been ascertained. Mr. Yang is in charge of water transportation and is most familiar with the situation in the Hangou canal section. From the perspective of his humble position, whether he was ordered to perform meritorious service and assist Mr. Ge in investigating the case, after the truth is revealed Work again? "

Di Renjie was noncommittal and snorted heavily.

Feng Keyan beside him also said: "Master Cui's words are reasonable, Mr. Wangge think twice."

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said: "Forget it. Since the governor interceded, I will temporarily remit the punishment today. Yang Jiuzheng."

Yang Jiucheng hurriedly said: "The humble job is here."

Di Renjie said: "From now on, you have to be careful!"

Yang Jiuzheng hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I would like to accept your teaching."

Di Renjie looked at him, and said again: "After the shift is over, immediately hand over all the accounts of the Cao Yamen to the deposed envoy's office for investigation!"

Yang Jiucheng said, "Yes."

Di Renjie said, "Get up."

Yang Jiuzheng stood up tremblingly, returned to the class, and wiped the sweat off his face with his hand.

I only heard Di Renjie say: "Master Cui."

Cui Liang hurried forward: "Mr. Ge."

Di Renjie said: "Where are the remains of Lord Li Han in the Shanyang Hotel?"

Cui Liang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "It is now stored in the Shanyang County Government."

Di Renjie glanced at him and said, "Why, Lord Inspector really doesn't know?"

Cui Liang was taken aback and said, "Master Ge, you know, what do you know?"

Di Renjie sneered and said, "Shanyang County Magistrate Lu Jiying has ordered the body to be burned."

Cui Liang pretended to be surprised and said: "This Lu Jiying is so bold! How dare he burn the body of an imperial envoy without the permission of the humble official? It's really unreasonable!"

Di Renjie snorted and reprimanded: "Li Han hanged himself in Shanyang, which has made the Holy Majesty very unhappy. One of the purposes of this pavilion's order to go south this time is to investigate the cause of his death.

Lord Cui, as the governor, you should keep the body in safekeeping until the cabinet arrives for a detailed inspection. How can you be so negligent that you put Lord Li's body in the county and let the county magistrates do whatever they want? Disposal, this is not dereliction of duty! "

Cui Liang saluted the responsibility and said: "Yes, yes. It's a humble job that mishandled it. Please punish the elder."

Di Renjie glanced at him, sighed and said, "There's no need for punishment, and then we can't be so slack in our actions in the future."

Cui Liang said: "I would like to accept the elder's teaching."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "What about the death letter and other relics left by Li Han?"

Cui Liang hurriedly said: "Master Huige, all of them are stored in the state government."

Di Renjie nodded and said: "After returning, order people to send all the evidence to my Excellency."

Cui Liang said: "Yes. After returning to the Yamen, the humble post will be done immediately."

Di Renjie stood up slowly.

Cui Liang hurriedly said: "Please get up and go to Xingyuan to stay."

Di Renjie nodded.

……

The door of the main hall of the governor's official residence opened with a "bang", and Cui Liang, Wu Wendeng and Yang Jiuzheng walked in closely following each other.

Yang Jiucheng slumped on the chair, tremblingly said: "It's so dangerous!"

Cui Liang took a deep breath and said, "You see, this is Di Renjie!"

Yang Jiucheng said: "Thanks to the rescue of Lord Inspector today, otherwise..."

Cui Liang didn't take his words, but frowned and said, "Judging from Di Renjie's tone, he already had doubts about the shipwreck case in Hangou, and he seemed to know that someone was stealing official salt after the shipwreck in Hangou. "

Yang Jiucheng stood up suddenly and said, "Exactly. My lord, how did he know?"

Cui Liang frowned and said, "Could it be that Beigou Dacang has been exposed?"

Yang Jiucheng exclaimed, "What?"

Cui Liang resolutely said: "Jiucheng, immediately order people to disperse all the water ghosts in Beigou Dacang after returning."

Yang Jiucheng nodded.

Cui Liang turned back to Wu Wendeng and said, "Wen Deng, Di Renjie did ask about Li Han's body just now. Thanks to our precautions, we went to Shanyang first to seal Lu Jiying's mouth."

Wu Wendeng nodded and said, "My lord is wise enough to anticipate the enemy's opportunity and prevent problems before they happen."

Cui Liang said: "From now on, we must be extremely careful in our actions. Wen Deng, you order people to closely monitor the deposed envoy Xingyuan. If Di makes any moves, report to me immediately."

Wu Wendeng said, "Yes."

Cui Liang warned again: "Also, don't be too close to each other recently, so as not to attract the attention of the surname Di."
