Chen Fu looked around and saw everyone's faces solemn, and the documents on the side were writing down records.

He had things he couldn't say. Once those words fell on paper, they could be a murderous sword!

Under the pressure of the situation, he could only tremble and said intermittently, "Of course, after we reported it and the superiors issued an order, we rebuilt the river embankment... As for who we dealt with, we... .How do you know that we are only responsible for repairing river embankments?"

"That's from the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs," Xu Ren said coldly, "How much money was allocated by the court, how much money was used to build the river embankment, and who did the maintenance? Come one by one, no hiding!"

"This...this...I don't know!" Chen Fuyi simply pretended to be dead. He extended his head and slashed his head. He might as well not recognize anything. Pretending to be dead was obviously the best choice. .

But Xu Ren would not let it go so easily. Although his face was not exposed, his eyes were like daggers staring at Chen Fuyi, "Oh, I just said that I was ordered by the superiors. I can write it clearly on the donation paper. What? Do you want to repent in court? According to Daqi law, if you repent in court, you will be punished with twenty sticks! Please think about it before you speak."

As soon as Chen Fu finished listening, he couldn't stop trembling and sweating drop by drop. Now he really pushed himself to death.

"Reply!" Xu Ren shouted.

Chen Fuyi, who was on the ground, didn't dare to make a sound. He lay on the ground and grabbed the legs of the stool, forcing himself to look up. He saw Wang Yantong in the main seat with a dark face, and Xu Ren on the side looked at him angrily, looking upright.

There is no way forward and no way back. This is Chen Fuyi's situation. Seeing everyone looking at ease, he could only get angry and gritted his teeth and said, "Master Wang, if you are on duty, are you going to investigate whoever confesses? Who is this person? "

"How presumptuous! Stop rambling!" Lu Wenyu, who was holding the tea cup, shouted loudly, which frightened the hearts of several people sitting there. Even Eunuch He, who was sipping tea opposite, was stunned.

The big red flying fish suit Yang Qi showed great momentum. In the small hall, it was like a volcano erupting and water pouring from the sky. The fierce momentum instantly stunned the uncultivated Chen Fuyi, and he shot straight into the sky. There seemed to be a ferocious beast roaring in the dark night, with great momentum and majestic energy. Except for Eunuch He, everyone else's expressions changed drastically. Even Zhao Jiu had to use his true energy to resist this terrifying pressure, not to mention the few people sitting at the top.

The document had long been frightened and fainted. Wang Yantong, Xu Ren and Wen Yun could only fall back, leaning against the back of the chair, holding the armrests tightly with both hands, without the ability to resist at all.

The power of the Grand Master is truly terrifying!

Lu Wenyu only released a few strands of power. After the power dissipated, he picked up the tea cup and said, "If the prisoner is taken away, why are you interrogating him if he is already unconscious?"

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of tea and let the two Jinyi guards carry Chen Fuyi out. Although Xu Ren was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to do so. Just when he was about to continue the trial, Lu Wenyu's gentle voice sounded, "Everyone is tired too, tonight Let’s stop the trial here, put away the sealing wax of the confession, and I will present it to Your Majesty in person.”

After saying this, he stood up and went out first without waiting for everyone's reaction. Zhao smiled, said goodbye to Eunuch He, and followed Lu Wenyu out.

"Okay, just do whatever Mr. Lu says." Eunuch He grinned, as if to comfort the others, but the few people above him heard a hint of threat in Eunuch He's cold words.

Xu Ren still wanted to insist, but Wang Yantong, the chief judge, had already stood up, saluted, and accompanied Eunuch He out. Wen Yun on the side grabbed Xu Ren who wanted to chase him out, shook his head, patted Xu Ren's hand, and signaled Xu Ren to stop insisting. Lu Wenyu's attitude has been clearly understood, and it is impossible to push forward.

Lu Wenyu walked very fast, while Zhao behind him followed behind with his hands behind his back, but he was not in a hurry, and his steps were relaxed. Zhao then understood that Lu Wenyu was just trying to express an attitude, not to end the interrogation and leave as soon as possible.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, Lu Wenyu suddenly looked back and waved to Zhao.

Zhao walked a few steps quickly and stood one step in front of Lu Wenyu. The two slowed down and walked slowly.

After taking a few steps, Lu Wenyu looked back and said, "Mazi, what do you think about this?"

"It's better for them to do it!" Zhao replied, neither sad nor happy, with a calm tone.

"I will return to Beijing tomorrow. You have to keep an eye on this matter. I will say hello to Eunuch He. We can't interrogate him like this anymore."

"Isn't the trial good? You don't need me." Zhao said indifferently.

"Oh, if they are allowed to keep trying, sooner or later they will drag them into the cabinet, into the palace, and till their heads fall to the ground!"

"Isn't that great? When all corrupt officials are put to death, the world will be clean and harmonious, and the government will be harmonious and harmonious."

Lu Wenyu sneered, "How much can you trust the words of a few corrupt officials? If they try to get involved with the emperor, will they also be investigated?"

"Um...then we can't just check everything, right?"

Lu Wenyu said, "You can't check everything! If something goes wrong, who will take the blame? Whose head will be chopped off?"

After taking two steps, as if he was worried, Lu Wenyu warned again, "I'll set the tone. First, you can't continue to climb up. Second, you can't expand the case. Third, you can't overturn the old case. It's best to convict of corruption, review the case clearly, and sort out the accounts. Details.”

"Then there is no investigation. If you kill the imperial envoy, you can just ask the Empress Qiu to kill him." Zhao said angrily.

"What about the money? Search your house or mine? The emperor just wants their money. Whether they die or not is just a matter of the emperor's word!"

Zhao was silent. Yes, the most important money hasn't been settled yet, so they can't die yet, but it's a small matter that they can't die. If someone else is involved, will the others die? Among them, Zhao Zhao understands.

Zhao didn't want to pay attention to these annoying things anymore, so he changed the topic, "Fifth Master, the case is not over yet, why are you in such a hurry to return to Beijing?"

Lu Wenyu didn't hide anything, and said frankly, "A dozen Zhuo Yulang and Jinlu Niang died at the border of Ningzhou. I guess someone must have infiltrated into the capital. The Jiangnan case is a small matter. If something happens in the palace, it will be a big deal." !”

Seeing Lu Wenyu's solemn expression, Zhao also guessed that the situation was serious, so he stopped talking and listened quietly to Lu Wenyu's instructions.

"You go to the prison late at night and talk to those people. You must ensure that Jiangnan's matter ends as soon as possible and don't involve other people, otherwise it will not end well."

After that, Lu Wenyu took out a bag of silver from his arms. "After the Jiangnan case is over, the confession will be submitted by Eunuch He. You should come to Beijing as soon as possible. On the way, we will go to Mount Tai. My information is that the youngest son of the owner of Xijian Villa is in Mount Tai. Four hundred taels, don’t let him get off Mount Tai alive.”

After Zhao took the money, he turned around and said, "It's best to leave a few alive."

Zhao was thoughtful, but he still agreed. He must serve his sponsor well. As for why he was kept alive? It's nothing more than framing or intimidation. This kind of small thing is nothing more than a small request. It doesn't matter if you make money!

"I'll leave tonight and go to Beijing with the confession. After I leave, you can go to Tianlao." Lu Wenyu agreed upon seeing Zhao, and his tone was much calmer. "Remember, always ask Eunuch He when something happens. Close the case as soon as possible!" "
