The sky was dark, the officials who were due to get off work were all off work, the gate of Shuntian Mansion was still open, and several government officials were standing in front of the gate.
Cao Zhihuang is a burly middle-aged man. He appeared not far from Shuntian Mansion, looking inside the deep door, unable to move.
Meng Hezhou and others stood in the dark corner behind him, watching him quietly.
Cao Zhihuang felt as if there was a poisonous snake staring at him behind him, and couldn't help stepping forward.
Just stepping on the steps, a government officer came forward and shouted: "Who is it!"
Cao Zhihuang raised his head, raised his hands and said, "The villain Cao Zhihuang, come and surrender."
The Ya Ya was startled, and said, "What case did you commit?"
"The official water transport ship was hijacked last year." Cao Zhihuang said.
The Yiya's expression suddenly changed, and several other Yiyas rushed over and surrounded Cao Zhihuang.
It is a felony to rob the official ship!
Cao Zhihuang trembled, but did not move.
Soon, Cao Zhihuang was taken in, and Shuntian Fucheng was interrogated personally.
Before long, the Fu Cheng stared at the servant behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Watch him, it's a bit wrong, I want your heads!"
The servant was taken aback and responded quickly.
The Fu Cheng hurried to the backyard and knocked on the door of Beizhili governor Zhuomai.
Jomai was just about to rest for a while, watching him come in, and said, "What's the matter?"
This Fu Cheng was called Yue Ting. He looked at Zhuomai and said, "My lord, someone voted for the robbery of the official water transport ship last year."
Jomec was startled at first, and then said: "Can you find out the main envoy behind the scenes?"
Jomec investigated this matter last year. This is not an ordinary bandit, it has the background of an official, and it is not an ordinary official!
Yue Ting looked at Zhuomai, his expression moved, and said: "My lord, he said, he can speak, but he wants to save his life."
Zhuomai thought about the impending game, frowned and hesitated.
If someone really asks a big person, what should he do? He has always been a hidden official, far away from party disputes. Will he be involved at this time
Zhuomai looked cautious and said, "What else did he say?"
"He said that he had also been ordered to kill the imperial envoy and assassinated the Supervisor Yushi, but failed. Now the people behind him want to kill him, and he surrendered to save his life." Yue Ting said.
Zhuomai listened more solemnly, the people behind this were so rampant, not to mention looting the official ship, but also dared to kill the imperial envoy and assassinate the court's supervisory official!
Zhuomai's expression changed and looked at Yue Ting and said, "What do you think?"
Yue Ting raised his hand and said, "My lord, I'm afraid this matter can't be suppressed. The people behind Cao Zhihuang will probably know that Cao Zhihuang has surrendered. Besides, if another case is involved in the future, it will be hard for us. Take the blame."
Zhuomai stood up fiercely and said: "Go! Interrogation, only you and me."
"Yes." Yue Ting said.
Jomec and Yue Ting quickly interrogated Cao Zhihuang, and Jomec asked about Yue Ting's story.
But half an hour, the two came out with a confession, their expressions almost the same solemn, even fear.
They never expected that the person behind Cao Zhihuang would be Cui Chengxiu, and Cui Chengxiu sent Cao Zhihuang to assassinate Zhou Zheng.
Inside the secret room, Yue Ting said, "My lord, that makes sense. Cui Chengxiu was the Yushi of Zuo Du last year. He was responsible for investigating water transport fraud and looting official ships, certainly to cover up the truth. As for the assassination of Zhou Zhengyun, it was nothing but Zhou Zhengyun He was repeatedly impeached and forced him to resign."
Jomec had also believed Cao Zhihuang's confession. He hesitated and said, "You said, what should I do now?"
Yue Ting looked at Zhuomai, speechless for a while.
The death of Wei Zhongxian has made the court like a tight string, which may break at any time, causing unpredictable earthquakes by the court and the opposition. If Cui Chengxiu's incident were reported, it would probably be the last straw that crushed the camel!
If Jomec had detonated him, he would have been involved in the court's party disputes, and it would be difficult to be alone.
The two were silent for a long time, and Yue Ting said, "My lord, what Cao Zhihuang said is not true. We are holding it down for fear that something will happen."
Zhuomai's eyes flickered and said: "Since you can't hold it down, then poke it out and let them fight! Make a new confession, remove some things, take Cao Zhihuang, and enter the palace overnight."
"It's an adult." Yue Ting quickly raised his hand, while still feeling a little nervous.
Cui Chengxiu, the feared Cui Chengxiu is about to fall.
Just when Jomec was preparing, Cui Chengli had already returned to Cui Mansion, kneeling in front of Cui Chengxiu, head drooping.
Cui Chengxiu sat in a chair with a very indifferent expression and hollow eyes.
He Qitu stood not far away, looking at Cui Chengxiu's face, and said: "My lord, that Zhou Zheng hates being persecuted the most. The second master repeatedly shot him, I'm afraid it will irritate him."
Cui Chengxiu glanced at He Qitu, her eyes dimmed and she didn't speak.
Cui Chengli raised her head and glanced at Cui Chengxiu, but did not dare to speak. He knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
He Qitu felt a desolate breath, and his heart was chilling, and said: "My lord, if you don't do anything, Zhou Zheng is afraid that he won't be indifferent and do nothing."
"It's too late." Cui Chengxiu sighed softly.
He had a kind of intuition of'the end' for a long time, and Cui Chengli had done this, he already felt very clear.
Maybe it doesn't make sense, but this kind of intuition is so sure that he gave up all struggles and waited for fate.
Where is He Qitu willing, he said: "My lord, don't give up until the end. Zhou Zheng was a rude kid. Is it really impossible for an adult to pinch him?"
The corners of Cui Chengxiu's mouth moved, as if he wanted to laugh but did not laugh.
Do you think he was the former Zuodu Yushi? Do you think Wei Gong is still there? From the time when Emperor Xian became seriously ill, everything changed, and there was no reason for them.
This is the current nine thousand-year-old, who has been invincible after only two months of succession, is this an ordinary emperor
The sky has changed.
He Qitu looked at Cui Chengxiu with a look of despair, and his heart was like a hot pot ant, but he couldn't find anything to persuade him.
At the same time, Jomec had brought Cao Zhihuang into the palace.
Zhu Youjian looked at the confession, his face was green, his hands trembled, and he was speechless.
Jomai stood at the table with his hands down, his head down.
Wang Chengen and Li Zhong stood behind Zhu Youjian, both of them looked a little worried.
Zhu Youjian stared at this confession, threw it away violently, and said angrily: "Look! This is what my Daming minister, what did you do! Forming the party for private business, robbing the official ship, and killing the imperial envoys of the imperial court," Assassinate the Supervisor Yushi, what do they want to do, rebel!"
Jomai's expression moved, and he dared not speak.
Zhu Youjian still snarled angrily: "Just yesterday, the first assistant was still in front of me, praising Cui Chengxiu for his loyalty and bravery, his outstanding ability, is this ability? If this continues, are they going to kill the king? There are things they dare not do. … "
Long live master was furious, Wang Chengen and Li Zhong lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Yesterday, Long Live Grandpa's stick killed two inner prisoners because they stole property from the palace for gambling. (End of this chapter)
