"Apart from the three of them, who else is there?" The servant of the criminal department sneered and said, "There were quite a few people present yesterday, and they can be summoned at any time. Master Liu, be careful what you say."
"A servant of the Chen family." Hearing this, Emperor Jing frowned and said.
His voice was not loud, but all the courtiers nearby heard it.
"A servant of the Chen family, how is this possible?" Many people immediately questioned.
Why did the mere slaves poison Mr. Chen, and who gave them the courage? This is even more inconceivable than the woman surnamed Zeng being the murderer.
"Could Mr. Liu be joking? This is the Golden Palace, His Majesty and all the adults are watching." The servant of the Ministry of Punishment finally felt relieved and said sarcastically.
"Master Li once taught me that murderers are not as stupid as we imagined. They often hide deeply, and all kinds of evidence point to it. The person who most resembles a murderer is often not the real murderer." Liu Yishou turned to Li Yi He cupped his hands, turned his head and smiled again and said, "And those who seem to have the least motive for killing, and who seem to be the least likely to be the murderer, are often the most suspicious."
Most people in the court only knew that there was Liu Yanwang in the Secret Service Division, who was a master at handling cases, but they didn't expect that he would say such a thing at this moment.
Could it be that Liu Yan Wang was taught by Li Xianbo
Of course, there are several people, including Prime Minister Qin, who know that Chang'an County Bo Li Yi has profound attainments in torture, and this Liu Yishou was trained by him when he was still Anxi County Captain.
"What kind of nonsense is this!" the servant of the Ministry of Punishment said in a cold voice after being stunned for a moment.
Liu Yishou's eyes gradually froze until the servant of the Ministry of Punishment felt a little nervous, and then said coldly: "Master Zhao can doubt me, but he cannot doubt the truth!"
He took out another item from his sleeve, handed it to the eunuch, and said: "This is the confession of several servants of the Chen family, please submit it to Your Majesty."
The servant of the Ministry of Punishment quickly said: "Your Majesty, the secret agent will definitely torture those servants of the Chen family to extract confessions. This testimony should not be trusted!"
"Shut up!" Liu Yishou turned his head suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "You think that anyone who handles a case is like your Ministry of Criminal Justice, and can't try a case without severe punishment. Mr. Zhao is worried about the veracity of this testimony, so it's better to have more Worry, worry, how will you explain the origin of the one hundred thousand taels of silver in the secret room under the bed at home!"
"you you… "
Zhao Shilang's complexion changed drastically, and he turned pale in an instant. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu tremblingly, but he couldn't say a word anymore.
"One hundred thousand taels..."
Hearing this number, many people in the court changed their colors at the same time.
It would be impossible for a mere servant of the Ministry of Punishment to save up to one hundred thousand taels of silver on his monthly salary, excluding daily expenses, in his whole life.
In fact, although the officials standing here seem to have a lot of glory, in fact, many of them belong to the ranks of the poor in terms of family wealth. If the monthly salary is to support the people of a whole family, how can they save a hundred thousand taels
At the same time, they looked at Liu Yishou and gradually became fearful.
The terror of the Secret Service Division can actually infiltrate a servant's home silently, maybe in his own home...
Thinking of this, many people's backs are slightly wet.
"Your Majesty, the Secret Service has long received a tip-off that Zhao Guangyuan, the servant of the criminal department, has accepted a large amount of bribes, committed fraud for personal gain, settled cases in a muddle-headed way, and neglected human lives. It was not found out until today that in the dark room under Zhao Guangyuan's bed, there are more than 100,000 taels of silver and countless jewelry. …”
Before Liu Yishou finished speaking, Zhao Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment, who was already limp on the ground, was shaking like a sieve, and wept loudly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, and someone gave me 50,000 taels of silver early this morning to make this case an iron case. , He also said that the evidence is convincing, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will only need to go to the woman's home to find the poisonous needle. He said that the bigger the case, the better... The one hundred thousand taels of silver, put it under the bed, minister, minister I'm afraid, I don't dare to spend even a penny! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare me!"
Wailang, a member of the etiquette department, looked at Zhao Shilang in a daze, and stepped back involuntarily, his face extremely pale.
Emperor Jing's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Who ordered you, tell me!"
The servant of the Ministry of Punishment trembled and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know, the people they sent covered their faces, I really don't know who it is!"
At this moment, almost all the courtiers were concerned about this case.
Sure enough, it was planted and framed. The people behind the scenes were really generous. They poisoned the son of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and even bought the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. They wanted to expand the situation, and who did they want to involve
Everyone's eyes couldn't help looking at Uncle Li, this man is very calculating!
This matter is far beyond the participation of those dudes. It is unlikely that Prime Minister Qin is involved, nor is it possible for the Chen family. After all, the deceased is from the line of the Chen family. That is, the Cui family? King Hui? Or a few others…
still…
Everyone shook their heads. The servant of the Ministry of Punishment was originally a member of the King of Shu, and Master Chen of the Ministry of Rites was also one of the supporters of the King of Shu. If it was really him, this would be too...
Of course, although it is unbelievable, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
On the side of the hall, Li Yi leaned on the pillar, Li Xuan leaned over quietly, and asked, "Tell me honestly, is there anyone from your secret spy department in my Shizifu?"
Li Yi shook his head, and replied casually: "I don't know, you have to ask your Uncle Huang about this."
Li Xuan's face became full of enthusiasm again, and he said: "The secret agent is very powerful, I will talk to Uncle Huang another day, can you get me a brand too..."
…
"Take him down!" Emperor Jing said in a deep voice: "The case of Zhao Guangyuan, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, will be handled by Dali Temple. I must investigate it strictly!"
"I obey the order!" Dali Siqing immediately stood up and said.
Emperor Jing looked at Liu Yishou again, and asked, "Have you found out, who is behind the scenes?"
Liu Yishou shook his head and said: "Return to Your Majesty, those two servants of the Chen family are only doing things with money, and they don't know anything about other things."
"Check!" Emperor Jing spoke again, his voice extremely austere.
A series of orders went on, and Emperor Jing suddenly asked: "You didn't use torture, how did you get them to confess?"
Liu Yishou was stunned for a moment, and said: "This method was taught by Master Li to the minister. It is unlikely that Mr. Chen was poisoned by one person, and the possibility of accomplices is very high. The minister just sent those servants to death. Lock them in different rooms and tell them that no matter who is the main criminal or who is the accomplice, the person who confesses first will be exempted from death.
Liu Yishou said indifferently: "Then the accomplice will be recruited."
[ps: For readers who are skeptical about this, Baidu "Prisoner's Dilemma" by yourself, so I won't repeat it here. This method was first proposed in 1950.]
Even many courtiers are masters of trickery, when they heard Liu Yishou uttered these few words lightly and pondered them carefully, they couldn't help but feel a chill coming from their tailbone.
Although this can be regarded as the technique of torture, it seems to be a level higher than using torture...
Liu Yanwang, Liu Yanwang, this is almost playing the hearts of the people to a certain extreme.
And the person who taught Liu Yanwang...
Everyone looked back, the man was chatting and laughing happily with His Royal Highness, and didn't seem to care about the matter here.
Everyone thought to themselves, the person who hid behind the scenes and wanted to take revenge on the other party really chose the wrong person this time!
What he will encounter next is the thorough investigation by the Secret Service Division and Dali Temple...
I'm afraid even that person didn't expect that the horror of this King Liu Yan or Li County Uncle didn't give the Minister of Criminal Justice any time to react, and even he himself got involved.
He didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money and planned this, just to cause a little trouble for the other party, how much did that person hate him, and how eager was he to see him in a predicament
…
"Quick, faster!"
At the gate of the palace, the King of Shu, who was in a light sedan chair, kept urging the servants who carried the sedan chair.
