Chapter 433: The truth about the fire
Chapter 433 The truth of the fire in the Ministry of Punishment
An Yunchang froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Mr. Meng, the Criminal Department pays attention to witnesses and physical evidence in handling cases. You can't convict An Yunchang of my crime just by your empty words."
Meng Huizhou unhurriedly took out a piece of paper from his breast pocket, slapped it on the table, and continued to eat tea. An Yunchang couldn't help but stepped forward, and after a glance, he was shocked, "You...you..."
"Master An is old and confused. Maybe he has forgotten that the people who were in charge of the Suzhou case were me and Jiang Mian. Of course, the files sent by Suzhou were checked by me first." Meng Huizhou sneered, "If If I didn't take down this piece of paper, the grass on your grave would be higher than Xiuyu."
An Xiuyu is the grandson of An Yunchang, his most important and favorite grandson. An Yunchang was sweating coldly on his forehead. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the paper on which he had accepted the bribe from Suzhou, rubbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, then he stretched his neck and swallowed it.
Seeing that he was so stupid, Meng Huizhou couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "Do you really think that this is the only evidence this old man has in his hand?"
An Yunchang rolled his eyes from choking on the paper balls. After drinking a cup of tea, he recovered. He simply broke the jar and said, "What if you still have evidence of your crime? Kang'an City, six nine temples and yamen, which one has confiscated the things that the local filial piety brought up? If you want to investigate, one of the officials in Kang'an City will be counted as one, and all of them should be damned!"
"Sir An, there is no evidence. You said that the Liubu Jiu Temple Yamen received local filial piety. Where's the evidence?" Meng Huizhou asked.
An Yunchang gritted his teeth, "This is not the yamen lobby, you don't want to talk to me, you know what's going on, everyone knows it! You Meng Huizhou dare to say that you have never taken the filial piety from the place? You swear!"
Meng Huizhou raised three fingers, and Zhuang Su said, "There are gods three feet above the head, and I, Meng Huizhou, make an oath here that if I receive a piece of filial piety from Suzhou, I will die without a place to be buried, and the Meng family will be cut off from their sons and grandchildren. !"
Hearing him make such a poisonous oath, An Yunchang was stunned for a long time, and his heart became even colder.
Meng Huizhou continued, "Your advisors, stewards, killers you sent, and prison heads you bought are all in the custody of Dongcheng Yamen. You sent people to hunt down Suo Yongping, set fire to Dongshi, and bribe Dongcheng's head. The matter is already a certainty. If Jingzhao Mansion brings the case to the front of the imperial court, Long Live will ask Zhang Mansion Yin Binggong to handle it. If you are escorted to Jingzhao Mansion, Zhang Mansion asks why you sent someone to hunt down Suoyong Ping, how are you going to deal with it?"
An Yunchang's eyes rolled a few times, not knowing how to answer.
Over the years, except for white hair and wrinkles, An Yunchang has really not grown at all! Meng Huizhou looked down on him more and more, and continued to threaten, "If you drag it on, you will have more and more evidence of your crimes. I don't know if you can't get away by then, and the nine An family members will accompany you to Huangquan!"
"No, I didn't do anything!" An Yunchang roared, "You forced me to do everything you asked me to do over the years. You have confiscated Suzhou's filial piety, but solemnly More than half of the money that the prefecture gave me went into your pocket, not only Suzhou, but also the filial piety sent by the local government when the three prefectures of Cangji, Bo, and Xiping were hit by disasters.”
Meng Huizhou listened to his clamor safely, then raised his eyelids and asked, "You don't want to spit, when did you give me money? Where's the evidence?"
"Your three sons get married, you marry your daughter, your grandson is full moon, you are promoted..." An Yunchang counted the same way, "Which time did I send a gift less than a thousand taels?"
Meng Huizhou sneered, "It turns out that Brother An considers these gifts and exchanges as bribes? You gave them away, but there is something for a banquet in your house, so I sent them back as usual, how do you count them?"
"I only have one son, you have three sons and one daughter, and your grandchildren are in groups. You always have to send me posts when you are in trouble. What I send to you is dozens of times more than what you sent to me!" An Yunchang discounted his resentment. Not a year or two.
Meng Huizhou laughed, "Brother An is going to bring these to the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion? If Brother An wants to, I will accompany you to the end. At that time, you will accept evidence of Suzhou filial piety..."
"Do you think I don't have any evidence of your crime?" An Yunchang sneered. He often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet. Meng Huizhou, the old fox, is cautious, but in the past ten years, it is impossible for him to do a good job. dew!
Meng Huizhou picked up the scissors again, cut off the charred wick, flicked the flame again, and said quietly, "Brother An's important things in his hands, I'm afraid they burned them down last night, right?"
"You...you..." An Yunchang stared at Meng Huizhou in shock and anger, scolding, "You actually sent someone to monitor me!"
Meng Huizhou sighed, "Brother Yunchang, you and I have been officials together for decades. I know you like the palm of your hand, so why should you send someone to monitor you?"
An Yunchang was speechless.
Meng Huizhou finally said, "After you calm down, think about it carefully. If this case really reaches the lobby, there will be no one left behind in the An Family."
An Yunchang said dumbly, "Even if I leave a book and commit suicide, Suo Yongping is still alive, he will tell the truth of the year..."
Meng Huizhou scolded, "It's really stupid! Suo Yongping is just a bait that Qiu Jing used to deceive you. If he had real evidence in his hand, Jiang Feng's temperament would have brought it to the imperial court!"
An Yunchang refused to think about this possibility. If it was the case, he might as well hit the wall to death. Seeing that Meng Huizhou was about to leave, An Yunchang couldn't help but said, "Don't think that you are doing things so cleanly, Jiang Mian was killed by you, and the suicide note left by Jiang Mian was also forged by you! If I tell this matter Jiang Feng, you will also die without a place to be buried!"
"My Meng family and Jiang family have long been at odds with each other, so what's the harm if you go and frame this old man in front of Jiang Feng?" Meng Huizhou looked back and sighed, "Brother Yunchang, so far, you still think more about Xiuyu. Think about it. We are already half-dead people, working hard all day, for the sake of our children and grandchildren."
After Meng Huizhou left, An Yunchang sat blankly in the room, stared straight at the oil lamp on the table for a moment, and then stood up and left in despair.
After they left, two people stood out in the corner of the private room. One of them had a white face, long beard and straight facial features, and the other had a pine-like appearance and a jade-like appearance. They were the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture Zhang Wenjiang and the commander of Xicheng Jiang Erye.
Jiang Erye raised his hands and covered his sleeves, put aside the teacups Meng Huizhou and An Yunchang had used, took out a clean teacup, filled it with tea and brought it to Zhang Wenjiang, smiling, "So it turns out that in the case of Suzhou, there are six temples and nine temples. All the yamen received the filial piety of the prefect of Suzhou, and our Jingzhao mansion is the cleanest, the name of the adults is honest, clear and honest, and it is well known in the world."
Everyone knows a fart! The Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of the civil affairs of the capital and Gyeonggi. Suzhou is thousands of miles away, and people want to honor the officials of the capital, but they can't come to the Jingzhao Mansion! Zhang Wenjiang glanced at the glib Jiang Feng, "You have heard the conversation between the two of them. What do you want to do with this case?"
