Chapter 7 Confession

After Chen Ying was confessed, it was no longer difficult for people from the factory to investigate him.

On that day, Chen Ying spent a lot of money to attract attention. Everyone knew about the inn and whereabouts he stayed in. In addition, Fangmen had records of foreign populations, Yu Wenxiao soon made his background clear.

Yuwen Xiao immediately sent people to Chen Ying's house to arrest him directly. When the local officials came forward to negotiate, they were only told that the government office in the capital was ordered to handle the job. If you have any questions, you can write to the court.

At this time, Zhou Bin, who was idle at home, went to the inner factory for training. Yu Wenxiao thought that Zhou Bin was very expert in interrogation, so he handed over the case to him.

Zhou Bin came to the private prison of the inner factory. Without asking, Qinghong beat the person half to death. He passed the punishment again. He was about to start asking for confessions, but suddenly a clerk next to him reminded him that the criminal was a relative of Mr. Su's family. Zhou Bin glared and said: Why didn't you say it earlier?

The clerk said: You were busy giving orders as soon as you came, without any gaps, and I didn't find any chance.

Zhou Bin threw down the pen he had just picked up in his hand and said: I won’t be tried today. The prophet will meet Mr. Su. If he has nothing to say, he will be tried again tomorrow.

At this moment, a prison officer ran over and said, "Mr. Su has come in. He is coming to see Chen Ying after hearing the news. We can't stop Duke Yuwen nodding.

Su Jin obviously didn't have much affection for Chen Ying, but that guy was a relative of Lin's family, so it was obviously not possible to ask.

Su Jin himself was also quite confused about how this case involved Chen Ying.

He walked in under the leadership of the prison guard. The prison was not built underground. The house might not be used as a prison at the beginning of its construction. At this time, it was sealed off and converted into a place for detainees.

The doors and windows were nailed to death, and the light inside was dark, as if there was a jail atmosphere.

Su Jin was not used to it when he first came in. The paintings of the Prince's Kingdom's carved buildings, mountains and water were originally a place with good scenery, but unexpectedly, the wall next to the back door was completely different.

As soon as he walked into the cell where Chen Ying was imprisoned, Su Jin felt that his boots were a little sticky, so he quickly moved his feet and looked down and saw blood.

By chance, he suddenly recalled those unbearable past events, and he had also experienced prison disasters.

For a moment, Su Jin felt that this was not the private prison of the prince, but the prison of the court, with damp houses, hateful faces, unpleasant smells, hellish torture...

Zhou Bin clasped his fists and said: Mr. Su is here just right, so you can review the confession first.

Su Jin limped forward a few steps, glanced at Chen Ying, who was no longer a human, and turned to Zhou Bin calmly: Since Duke Yuwen of the inner factory has entrusted you with this matter, how can I go on the sidelines?

Zhou Bin smiled. This person had a bad face, a little thin and pointed-mouthed, and he smiled like a thorny smile: This is not the Ministry of Justice Prison, what kind of confession does Mr. Su want?I wrote a copy before I came, and you can see if there is nothing wrong with Chen Ying's picture.

Su Jin thought to himself: How much better is the Ministry of Justice Prison?

When the government was in the hands of another party, how much reason would they say to their political enemies?

He said: You should ask the truth and don’t wrongly accuse the Chen family.

At this time, Chen Ying seemed to hear Su Jin's voice and raised her head. A bloodless bitter face suddenly showed a glimmer of hope: Brother Su?

Su Jin said with a stern face: If you get into trouble today, you must tell the truth, otherwise I will not be able to help you.Zhou Bin echoed: It’s also a chance for you to speak, do you understand?

How could Chen Ying still look as elegant as before?

He looked like a yellow lotus and said: I was just kidding Su Jiu that night, and I didn't really do anything to his wife. I didn't think you would be punished like this...

Zhou Bin's face turned dark: Is this a big punishment?I think you haven't suffered enough.explain!Who instructed you later? Are those gentry who spread rumors in secretly plotting against Minister Su?You'd better accept it quickly. I've already mastered the evidence here, and who knows it clearly!

Chen Ying said: What a rumor in the family, I really don’t know anything.

Come, call me!

Zhou Bin shouted with a gloomy face.

Chen Ying's face changed drastically and hurriedly begged for mercy, but the prison guard didn't care about him putting the whip in salt water and dipping it, and then whip was whipped. The whip was slender and tough, and the whip was bloody. The salt water on it soaked under the skin again. Chen Ying immediately howled and kept shouting that I would do anything!

Su Jin stood aside without changing his expression, and then he acted and persuaded Zhou Bin to tell him not to hit him.

Su Jin's usual style is quite gentleman and has the integrity of being poor and hard-working. However, at this moment, he still felt a little pleasure in his heart and had no heartfelt sympathy for Chen Ying.

The reason is very simple. He couldn't stand this person as a person. This time he used the Su family to mess with him. Even Su Jin claimed that a gentleman was still a human being in his heart. Repaying grudges with kindness is just a skill in his face.

Zhou Bin then asked someone to stop whipping for the time being and continue to ask Chen Ying the commander behind the scenes.

He stammered and couldn't speak, and was forced torture in the end, and he had no words to confess and was tortured...

Zhou Bin used torture instruments in front of him one by one. Next, Chen Ying saw the bamboo stick next to him, which was the torture instruments that were stabbed in his fingers.

Before he started to torture, he felt his hands trembling and his strength disappeared inexplicably.

This rich child has suffered such a hardship as a child. He was so scared that he knelt down one by one.

In the end, he was forced to tell all the unspeakable private matters, about the Lin family and the holidays with Su Jin, etc.

Su Jin had already concluded that Chen Ying was telling the truth this time, and thought that this guy was still thinking about his wife Su Jin was even more angry and wanted to peel him off on the spot.

But Zhou Bin didn't believe it and said coldly: Don't pull things on Mr. Su's head, this is not a housework.

Chen Ying said: Ming Gong Ah, please let Brother Su say something, he knows that this matter is true.

Zhou Bin turned to look at Su Jin, and Su Jin pondered for a moment: Chen Ying, it's not that simple. You don't understand these things. I have told you that An Sheng lives a good life at home, and you insist on coming to Beijing to cause trouble. How can I help you now?

Having said that was equivalent to not saying anything, Chen Ying cried: I know I was wrong, so let me go this time!

Su Jin suppressed his anger and pretended to be helpless and said: You are doing business, and I will be in trouble again and it is hard to explain to the prince. I will say goodbye.

Don't leave... Chen Ying was so anxious that he struggled desperately. When he heard Zhou Bin's involvement in the whirlpool of the imperial power struggle, he really thought that he was involved in the whirlpool of the imperial power struggle, and he must have his life worry, so he was already very scared.

In fact, as long as Su Jin really wants to help him, Su Jin is now one of the most popular people around Xue Chongxun, so what is difficult?

The power field is just that, just because people outside don’t know the specificity, they feel that there is so much mystery.

The problem is that Su Jin doesn't want to help this guy at all, and he wants to take advantage of the situation, but he is afraid that he will not be able to speak in front of his relatives in the Lin family and dare not do it too obvious.

After Su Jin left, Chen Ying had less than half of his life left, and was covered in wounds. Then he signed a confession that he couldn't quite figure out, implicating a large number of people in vain.

Zhou Bin submitted this confession to Xue Chongxun and wrote another document in detail.

The case file is like writing a story, turning a small matter that was originally a personal grudge into a very conspiring case. Some old scholars have bad intentions and use other people's character setting, and then spread rumors and make trouble to make Su Jin so much.

The various motivations are very detailed, and there is not much difference from the real one.

Xue Chongxun has already believed in the document after reading it. Although there is a lack of necessary evidence, it is not easy to find real evidence for this matter.

He thought to himself: After all, the criminal was related to Su Jin. If that wasn't the case, why did Su Jin not say a word?

Just then Erling asked for advice, and Zhang Jiuling advised: This matter should not be investigated and made a big deal. Should the King of Jin change the decision of the prince's kingdom?No matter whether the whole story of Chen Ying’s case was investigated clearly, we cannot take action against the gentry in this matter.Even if they really did it, they were just talking about something irrelevant. Did this situation be expected from time to time when they were making plans?We should make a tolerant attitude, focusing on appeaseing everyone, rather than expanding right and wrong and accumulating resentment.

Xue Chongxun pondered but didn't answer.

He remembered the "Biography of Wang Mang" he reread last night. More and more people were dissatisfied with the rule in the late Xin Dynasty, and gradually became a trend of falling down and everyone pushed him. He did not forget the past and the future. Xue Chongxun was not a madman, and he often had awe of the rules of the world.

Of course, he believed that the failure of Wang Mang's regime was not because of offending some people, but because it affected the interests of too many people, and that was the root cause.

At present, such dirty things as spreading rumors are just small matters, so naturally they cannot be compared, but it is not a mistake for those in power to be cautious and cautious...

He thought for a while and said: What Zishou said is reasonable, our huge shogunate cannot be without any temperament.This is how this matter is handled: the investigation of the crime is only for setting up a gambling game and fraud. Su Jiu is the victim and his reputation is innocent. All those involved in the case will be punished according to the law.In the criminal law file, we should also warn those rumor-mongers who distort right and wrong and condemn their moral inferiority.

After hearing this, Erling was pleased and praised Xue Chongxun for his wise work.

With Xue Chongxun's statement of deciding the case, it would be easier. Chen Ying was quickly handed over to Jingzhao Mansion, and was flogged 80 according to the law and ordered him to return his property and be fined twice.

Chen Ying was tortured to the point of having only one breath and lost a lot of money. Finally, she was put home and was stigmatized because the government decided that Chen Ying had a tangle with the gambling house in the city, set up a gambling game to defraud Su Jiu's property, and intended to tarnish his wife's innocence, but failed.

Those who had said bad things about the Su family in public thought something was wrong. Chen Ying, who was released from prison, found out that someone in prison forced him to confess that he had ulterior motives and other things. They knew that something was wrong, and they were worried and afraid.
