oral confession
The next day, when Chu Ci and Mu Yuanxiu came to the door, Fan Ju was about to go out. After learning about the purpose of the two, he readily wrote a souvenir and handed it to Chu Ci, saying, "Where is such a small matter."
I also asked specifically, isn’t this a heretic? The imperial envoy and brother Chu will go directly when they want to see it. Today I have something to do, and next time I’ll say hello to them.”
Fan Ju's face was filled with joy. He was slowly handing over the affairs at hand to the people under his command during this period. The newly appointed admiral must not arrive so quickly. Although others left, things should not be messed up.
"Thank you, Brother Fan, then we won't disturb Brother Fan's business." Chu Ci smiled, and then he and Mu Yuanxiu came to the prison of the Admiral's Office.
"Two lords, the sinner Zhao Kuan is locked in this room. The young one will guard the door. If there is anything wrong, please call me and I will come in immediately." The prison head opened the chain on the door while
Said flatteringly.
As a spy lurking in the Great Wei Dynasty for decades, the navy attached great importance to it and arranged his cell in the innermost part of the prison. The door was made of fine iron, and there were still people guarding it around.
It's hard to escape if you have wings.
When Chu Ci and the others went in, Zhao Kuan was sitting on the ground with his back facing them, his head lowered, and his whole body exuded a sense of loneliness and desolation. He turned around and saw that the person coming was Chu Ci, with his face exposed.
A little surprised.
"I have said everything I should say. What else do you want to know?" His voice sounded hoarse and difficult, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
"What we want to know is related to Governor Lin. On the day you were arrested, he was determined to protect you. It should not be because he loved the people as his son, right?" Chu Ci was straight to the point and was not going to go around with him.
"So what if it isn't? Didn't the people of the Great Wei Dynasty pay more attention to killing a thousand mistakes than letting go? Lord Lin openly defended me, a spy from Japan, in public. Will your emperor not punish him for colluding with enemies and treason?"
Zhao Kuan raised the corner of his mouth and sneered a sarcastic sneer.
"You are wrong. Dawei is a country that pays attention to the rule of law. Everything needs to be paid attention to evidence. We always thought you were weird before, but before we found tangible evidence, we would not act rashly, and now we are the same."
Zhao Kuan snorted: "I have explained everything I should explain. I am helpless in this matter, please."
"Do you want to just watch him go to justice?" Chu Ci asked.
Zhao Kuan was stunned at first, then laughed out loud, as if he heard some big joke: "Chu Tixue, are you mistaken? I am a Japanese. There are corrupt officials in your officialdom, what do you care about me?
What's going on?"
"So what about the Japanese? You are a Japanese, but your wife and children are people of the Great Wei. Lin Futong wants to cause trouble for them, but it is easy."
"My wife has gone, and her children and grandchildren have been used as official slaves and have to do hard work all their lives. It's like this, why would Lord Lin still attack them!" Zhao Kuan's eyes were full of sorrow. After hearing the news that his wife committed suicide, he said that he had committed suicide.
, I just want to go with her immediately.
But the son who came to report the death said to him: "My mother said that she was young and ignorant, and led the wolf into the house, which caused the Gao family to be destroyed. Such a deep sin can only be offset by death. This divorce letter was written by her that she asked me to give you.
, in this life, all the kindness of the husband and wife will be cut off, so that we will never meet again."
Looking at his son Mo Ran's eyes and listening to the words "never meet again" in his ears, Zhao Kuan knew that if he died, he might have dirty Rou Niang's cycle of reincarnation. She would definitely not want to see him again.
Bar?
"You are wrong. It is precisely because they have set foot on the dead end at this time that they are likely to betray Lord Lin. There is still a saying in our Great Wei Dynasty. Zhao Huishou should have heard of it, which is called: Only dead people can truly keep the secret."
The voice of the words was low, and Zhao Kuan was shocked by hearing them.
"But, let alone my children and grandchildren, even if I have a wife, I have never revealed a word!"
Chu Ci smiled slightly: "I naturally believe what you said, but it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What's important is whether Lord Lin believes it or not."
Zhao Kuan fell to the ground dejectedly, and once again realized how much misfortune he had brought to the family. I'm afraid if they could choose, they would definitely hope that they would not have their father, right?
"The man standing beside me is Lord Mu, the imperial envoy sent by the court to investigate the case. As long as you tell the matter outright, I will plead with you and send your children and grandchildren out of Nanmin Mansion to no one knows them.
Wherever you are, even if you still do hard work, you don’t have to be cold-eyed anymore. How about it?” Chu Ci said.
Lord Mu, who had not spoken, nodded in cooperation: "You are indeed guilty, but they are innocent. Thinking that you have revealed everything, the court has pardoned their death sentence. As long as you explain this matter clearly, the living sin can be appropriate.
Forget some, what do you think?"
"And, this is also considered to be accumulating virtue. I heard that you are a devout Buddhist. You should have heard of this life and the next life? You don't seek this life, but you can practice the next life." Chu Ci found that the moving eyes were in his eyes when he mentioned his wife.
I believe he must have this idea deep in his heart.
As expected, as soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, Zhao Kuan was moved. He looked at the two people in front of him and finally decided to cooperate with them.
Chu Ci brought paper and pen to record his confession.
Zhao Kuan thought about it in his heart, then said, "I gave him a total of 100,000 taels of silver notes this time... Okay, that's all I know." Zhao Kuan picked up the tea bowl on the ground and drank it all. Just now
His mouth was dry and his words were dry.
While recording confessions beside him, Chu Ci was secretly amazed at the numbers revealed here. In other words, since Lin Futong was promoted to the governor of Nanmin Province ten years ago, he has received no less than a hundred bribes from Zhao Kuan over the years.
More than ten thousand taels. Chu Ci still wanted to know what Lin Futong wanted to do? He regarded himself as thrift among the people. Could it be that he was extremely arrogant, extravagant and lewd in private?
After hearing this, Mu Yuanxiu was also ashamed of water. If this person was not eliminated, he would not know what the official atmosphere would become in the future. Moreover, Lin Futong knew about Zhao Kuan's selling private salt. Could it be that he was not
I know that these three things like salt and iron tea are the foundation of the court. He, a court-ordered official, even knew that he was a crime!
"The two adults just said that as long as I say it, I will send my family to another place. Is this matter serious?" Zhao Kuan asked.
"Of course, once the case is settled, I will send someone to send them away. No one will know in the future that they have a relationship with the Japanese. However, you can't do anything to Lin Futong just by your confession.
What evidence do you have?" Mu Yuanxiu was a little troubled. For ordinary people, this confession is enough to punish people. However, Zhao Kuan is a Japanese man, and his confession needs to be discounted in this regard.
