Chapter 413 Interrogation
Qianzhou is located on the border, and beyond Qianzhou is the national boundary of Nanzhao Kingdom.
There were caravans from the Nanzhao Kingdom doing business there, so it was not unusual to see the national seal of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Jing Zhaoyin glanced at him, then turned around and ordered his followers, "Take down all the blond rice noodles, grain and oil shops, the shop assistants, and their family members."
As soon as the order was given, the imperial army and the Yamen servants of the Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen were immediately ordered to carry out the execution.
Jing Zhaoyin then averted his eyes and looked at Yang Chengli who was lying on the ground, "Master Yang knows the law and breaks the law and colludes with foreign enemies. He is guilty of implicating the nine tribes. Take it down!"
The prefect of Jinnan was sleeping at home.
He has been feeling unwell these past few days and cannot sleep well at night. Today, Qin Mo gave him a prescription, saying it was passed down from his family and asked him to try it.
As a result, he took the medicine and boiled it according to the prescription, and fell asleep within a quarter of an hour after taking a bowl.
He was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by someone saying that someone was coming from Kyoto. He was startled. When he hurriedly put on his official uniform and went out to greet him, he found that the person had already entered Jinnan and rushed towards the pier. I didn't even have time to ask why, so I had to chase him over.
Before I could even take a deep breath, Jie Jie was struck by such a huge thunder!
Why are the ordnance with the national seal of Nanzhao parked at the dock in Jinnan? Why is it still related to Yang Chengli? Yang Chengli’s sister is his concubine, and he has sinned against the nine tribes. Does he deserve it?
For a moment, he was so distraught that the magistrate froze in place, unable to recover. Cold sweat broke out in layers. He trembled and swallowed several times, and finally looked at Jing Zhaoyin with trembling lips.
"Sir, this..."
Jing Zhaoyin snorted coldly, "Under your nose, your officials secretly transported Nanzhao's ordnance. You can't escape the blame. Someone came and took the prefect into custody together. He returned to the Yamen and I will interrogate him personally. !”
After saying that, Jing Zhaoyin dismounted from his horse and walked towards Qin Mo, "Mr. Qin was frightened. Your Majesty is thinking about Mr. Qin."
Qin Mo didn't dare to take it seriously and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, "Fortunately, my lord came in time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand it!"
Yang Chengli realized later that it was Qin Mo who was tricking him. He immediately jumped towards Qin Mo, but was immediately held down by the government servant next to him. He had a ferocious face twisted with anger, "Qin Mo, I am your ancestor. It was you who hurt me!"
As the only younger brother of Yunhai Judong, Qin Mo acted like a young master from a rich family and snorted, "You deserve it too!"
Jing Zhaoyin frowned and looked at Qin Mo. He always felt that Qin Mo was different from what he had in mind. He immediately remembered the failure in the general examination. Jing Zhaoyin was puzzled. A failure in the scientific examination could really stimulate a person's personality. Change?
Then did he also hate Yu Yan?
With a sudden change of mind, Jing Zhaoyin didn't think any more and took the people back to Jinnan Mansion Office directly.
On the way back, Jing Zhaoyin asked Qin Mo, "Did you and the local snakes from Jinnan jointly stop those ships?"
Qin Mo smiled bitterly, "Oh, Xiaguan has only arrived in Jinnan a few months ago. How can he have the ability to make the boss of a local snake join forces with me? It's Zhao Duyan who wants to charge double the protection fee with Tongxiang Company and use it to stop the ship. I was looking for trouble. When I got the news and rushed over, Yang Chengli was already at the scene and wanted to sail the boat away.
I was so anxious at the time that I wanted to stop him, but I had no power and I couldn't suppress him or even stop him.
If the crew of Tongxiang Company hadn't discovered something was wrong with the things on the boat, I'm afraid the boat would have already sailed far by the time you arrived, and it would have taken a long time to chase it."
Jing Zhaoyin glanced at Qin Mo, "That's quite a coincidence?"
Qin Mo smiled and didn't explain much. He just said: "Who says it's not the case? This is probably the result of His Majesty's mighty dragon and God's will."
Jing Zhaoyin was so choked up that he couldn't ask any more questions.
Dulong's majesty and providence dictated this, so how could you ask?
The people present found no problems after interrogation, and they were released on the spot. They took Yang Chengli and the shopkeepers of Jinfa Rice Noodles and Oil Shop back to the Yamen, and Jing Zhaoyin opened a court for interrogation.
It's just that it's different from ordinary interrogations. This time the interrogation was behind closed doors and there were no people watching.
"I'm asking you, where did those ordnance come from?" Jing Zhaoyin sat on the high hall and asked with a cold face.
Downstairs, the blond clerk at the rice, flour, grain and oil shop was shaking so hard that he couldn't stop shaking. Some of them had poor psychological quality and became incontinent on the spot.
After a period of calmness, Yang Chengli regained his sense and refused to admit it, "Your Excellency is aware of it, but I don't know that there are weapons inside."
Jing Zhaoyin was stunned, "What you said in front of so many people at the scene, do you need me to repeat it for you?"
Yang Chengli said: "Sir, I did say those words, but they were all made up by me. I just don't want Zhao Duyan to cause trouble, for fear of hurting the interests of merchants."
"Then you let the boat sail away, where do you plan to sail to?" Jing Zhaoyin asked him, squinting his eyes slightly, with a cold light shining in his eyes.
He laughed, "Xiaguan had no purpose. At that time, Xiaguan just wanted to sail the boat."
"Do you want to get away with it? Or do you want to delay time? I tell you in advance, don't be wishful thinking, no one will come to save you, you will be punished!"
Jing Zhaoyin gave the order, and immediately a Yamen servant from Jing Zhaoyin came forward, pulling the torture instrument from Jinnan Yamen.
Two government officials pushed Yang Chengli onto a wide bench, took off his trousers, picked up the board and started beating him.
The back was playing the game, while the front, adhering to the principle of never wasting time, put the torture in his hands.
The board was able to withstand it, but the fingers were connected to the heart, especially the torture finger, which caused a stinging pain all over the body.
A real man must hold on for a hundred seconds.
Yang Chengli couldn't even hold on to a snap of his fingers. As he was pulling him, he shouted in a loud voice, "It's from Prince Duankang's Palace!"
When he shouted out, the blonde shopkeeper next to him turned pale.
Jing Zhaoyin did not continue to interrogate Yang Chengli, but asked the person who carried out the punishment to continue. He turned to look at the shopkeeper, "Do you want to say it yourself or should I ask?"
The sound of Yang Chengli's wailing confession rang in his ears, "It's none of my business. They forced me to do it. It was the shopkeeper who forced me!"
The blond food and oil shopkeeper's face, which was originally pale with fright, seemed to be magic, but he calmed down. He looked at Jing Zhaoyin, and suddenly his body slammed into the ground.
In the flash of lightning, seeing that he was about to hit himself to death, the surrounding people suddenly exclaimed.
"No, he wants to hit his head!"
While the yamen servant was panicking, a tall and thin man standing behind Qin Mo suddenly jumped up and kicked the shopkeeper directly.
The moment the shopkeeper's forehead was about to hit the ground, he was kicked away.
Qin Mo sneered, "It seems like this is the big fish!"
Jing Zhaoyin glared angrily at the shopkeeper who was kicked to the ground and turned to one side, "Tie them up and pull them down for interrogation! Pull these guys down for interrogation as well!"
