Chapter 55: Having a plan in mind

The suggestion put forward by Yue Su is neither good nor bad, but it can be regarded as a method that is barely acceptable to all aspects of the court. For the emperor, it is not special when Wei Guangwei and others will be tried and sentenced.

The important thing is not to allow people to rebel and bring threats to the country. It is obviously not appropriate to send troops immediately. As the big guy said, it is wasting money and disturbing the local area. Send more spies to investigate and find out the facts.

The truth, no matter how you calculate it, is the real thing.

The emperor can accept this suggestion, and so can the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang. Yue Su, Fang Congzhe and others are now tied to a rope. This idea is clearly beneficial to them. The decision of Wei Guangwei and others will be finalized first, even if it is not announced immediately.

The result is to go home early or go home late.

As for the eunuch party, it is barely acceptable. Even if the case of Wei Guangwei and others is finalized, before the verdict is pronounced, Eunuch Wei can take advantage of the emperor's pleasure to help intercede and rescue the people. Moving troops to Shandong is really not considered a crime.

A good idea. If soldiers and horses from all directions arrive in Shandong, the bandits are too scared to start a fight, the court wastes so much food and salary, and the emperor makes a false alarm, who will be blamed for this?

So, after Yue Su finished his suggestion, the Huangji Palace became quiet. It took a long time before he heard Carpenter Zhu say, "Accurate!"

****

After going down to court, Wei Zhongxian immediately ordered Yang He to lead a large number of Dongchang fans to Shandong, asking him to make sure to get to the bottom of the matter about the White Lotus Sect. Naturally, Yue Su could not be idle, and returned to the Ministry of Punishment first to inform Xing Ying.

Come here and ask him to disperse the people from the six gates. He must find out whether the Shandong White Lotus Sect is true or false in the shortest possible time.

After Xing Ying left, Yue Su summoned officials from the Three Laws Division to continue the trial.

After sitting down in the lobby of the Criminal Department, Yue Su asked people to escort Wei Guang to the lobby. Within a moment, Wei Guang was lifted into the lobby and came to the steps. There were "powerful" sounds from both sides, and Wei Guang knelt down on the ground.

"Wei Guang, a humble citizen, comes to greet you all..."

Yue Su smiled slightly and said: "Wei Guang, yesterday *** said that the Daikin Casino is your property. It has been open for four years and has made an annual profit of 150,000 taels of silver, totaling 600,000 taels. All of this silver

It exists in the home of your uncle Wei Guangwei, so these words are all true."

"It's all true." Wei Guang affirmed.

"Besides the Daikin Gambling House, do you have any other business?"

"No." Wei Guang shook his head and said.

"Okay, I would like to ask you now, do you know a person named Duan Zhanpeng?"

"Of course I know him. He is the manager of the gambling house that I hired to help me manage the business of the gambling house." Wei Guang said.

"It turns out that he is the steward of your casino, so I am going to ask you, how much do you pay Duan Zhanpeng in a month? How much do the other clerks and nursing staff pay in a month?"

"Duan Zhanpeng's salary is twenty taels per month, an ordinary clerk's salary is eight taels per month, and the nursing home's salary is one tael per month." Wei Guang asked Duan Zhanpeng these things in advance. He was also afraid that he would be questioned as soon as he arrived in the hall.

Come out.

"Then how many people are there in your gambling den, including the clerks and nurses?" Yue Su asked again.

"Together with the assistants and nursing staff, there are thirty-seven people in total." Wei Guang was so smart that he even asked about this matter.

"Thirty-seven people, that's not a lot. You don't have any other business, so you should be able to know these few of your subordinates. In this way, you can read out a dozen of their names." Yue Su said calmly.

"Ah... this..." Wei Guang really didn't expect that Yue Su had such skills. He had never even entered the door of the Dajin Casino. How could he know the names of those servants? However, his reaction was fast enough.

, immediately said: "Xiaomin's casinos are usually managed by Duan Zhanpeng, and I seldom take care of them. I only go to Duan Zhanpeng to collect accounts once a month, and I rarely even enter the casino. Furthermore, as if you, sir,

You are familiar with the servants in this hall, and you can name a few of them."

Seeing that Wei Guang's grab for the white spot was very reasonable, Yue Su smiled and said: "Wei Guang, I didn't expect you to be an eloquent master. But you said that the Dajin Casino is yours, why did Zhan Peng

Are you saying that the Daikin Gambling House is his property?"

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Wei Guang's face suddenly changed color. Fortunately, he reacted too quickly and defended again: "How is it possible? The Daikin Gambling House is obviously the property of a villain. When did it become the property of a villain?

He belongs to Duan Zhanpeng. I hope you will take notice."

Yue Su smiled and said: "Don't worry, the headquarters will definitely investigate. In this case, I will invite Duan Zhanpeng here first, and you two will confront each other in the hall to see who owns this gambling house." At this point, Yue Su

He turned to look at Tie Qiu, who was standing by the side, and said: "Tie Qiu, take the fire sign now, go to the Shuntian Mansion Prison, and bring Duan Zhanpeng, the guys from the Dajin Gambling House, and all the guards. By the way, bring the Emperor's Royal

Also bring me the three copper guillotines you gave me."

"Yes, sir." Tie Qiu agreed and immediately took the order and left.

As soon as Tie Qiu left, Yue Su looked at Tong Zhou again and said: "Tong Zhou, you go to these places immediately..." After saying that, Yue Su took out the copy of the confession he showed to Li Yuanchen yesterday from his sleeve, "Put it on

All the people from the shops mentioned in the book were brought to me and waited in the hall."

"Yes, sir."

Now Yue Su is confident that with a little use of some means, he can conclude all these cases within one day. Therefore, he brought Tong Zhou and all the relevant people.

Tong Zhou took the copy, was ordered to retreat, summoned the officers, and immediately went to get the people. Tong Zhou had to arrest a lot of people this time, and it would take at least an hour or two. Tie Qiu's movements were faster, and he

First, he went to the Shuntian Mansion Prison to pick up Duan Zhanpeng and all the people from Dajin Gambling House, and then ordered people to move out the three copper guillotines in the hall, and then hurried back to the Criminal Department in the dust.

Returning to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Yue Su asked Tie Qiu to place three copper guillotines at the foot of the steps. Duan Zhanpeng and others all went to the hall and knelt down. Then, Yue Su glanced down, focused on Duan Zhanpeng, and said: "

Duan Zhanpeng, just now Wei Guang said that the Daijin Gambling House is his property, and you said yesterday that the gambling house is your property. Whose property it is? Now tell the truth."

"Sir, the Daikin Gambling House is indeed..."

As soon as Duan Zhanpeng opened his mouth, before he could finish his words, Zhou Yingqiu shouted: "Slow down!"

Then, he looked at Yue Su, who was sitting high in the middle, and asked: "Master Yue, the emperor has decreed that we are a joint trial of the three law divisions. Why did you set up a private court to interrogate this... surnamed Duan alone yesterday..."

"The Honbu Hall did interrogate Duan Zhanpeng yesterday, but it was not for this case. The Daikin Gambling House was suspected of killing Ma Wuzi from Erniu Hutong, so the Honbu Hall took him to Shuntian Prefecture for this reason. The Honbu Hall also manages Shun

Tianfu, if there is a murder case in the house, the headquarters naturally has the right to interrogate and find the real culprit. This kind of case seems to have nothing to do with you, Mr. Zhou." Yue Su said lightly.

"This..." Zhou Yingqiu was speechless by Yue Su's words, but he couldn't give up easily. He rolled his eyes and said immediately: "Master Yue, I wonder if this murder case is a big gamble."

What did the people in the workshop do?”

"Having been out of prison for many years, I have never wronged a good person. Now Duan Zhanpeng and his accomplices have confessed. Do you have any questions about this, Mr. Zhou?" Yue Su looked at Zhou Yingqiu with a smile.

"Well...since it's a confession, that's the best thing. But, what does that have to do with who is the owner of the Dajin Casino?" Zhou Yingqiu said preemptively.

"Of course there is a connection. When the Honbu Hall interrogates criminals, they have to ask who is the owner of the casino. Duan Zhanpeng admitted in court that he is the owner of the Daikin Casino. The current confession is here. In this way, the Honbu Hall is confused. Yesterday

During the joint trial, Wei Guang stated that he was the owner of the Dajin Gambling House, and he still says so to this day. There is such a big gold gambling house in the capital, and two owners cannot appear at once. Therefore, the headquarters

I think one of the two of them must be lying. But no one who lies in the court of this department has a good end. Come on, prepare a fire chain. Once it is determined which of the two of them is

Whoever lies and deceives the Honbu Hall, the Honbu Hall will ask him to taste the taste of the fire chain!"

After Yue Su's high-pitched voice settled down, the guards on both sides agreed, and someone immediately went to prepare the fire chain.

Wei Guang and Duan Zhanpeng both trembled at the mention of using the fire chain. They knew how powerful the fire torture was. They also understood the current situation. Yue Su was asking them to confront each other in court. Who was lying?

, let anyone be burned at the stake.

"Sir, what I said last night is true..." Duan Zhanpeng was also the quickest to respond. After Yue Su finished speaking, he was the first to speak.

Wei Guang also quickly followed up and said: "Sir, what I said is absolutely false. I hope you will see clearly..."

Yue Su sneered and said: "You two say you are not lying, but it is impossible for a gambling house to have two owners. In this way, you two say it one by one and find a way to prove that this casino is yours.

It's best to provide strong evidence. If there is no conclusive evidence, then it means who is lying. Don't blame me for not reminding you that the torture tools in the lobby of my punishment department are not vegetarian!"

At this point, Yue Su's voice raised another octave, pointed at Wei Guang, and shouted loudly: "Speak first!"

When Duan Zhanpeng said what he just said, Wei Guang had no confidence and asked himself to confront the real owner of the casino. How could this be right? Duan Zhanpeng had a name, a surname, a head and a face on Sancha Street, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Dozens of witnesses were arrested. But as for me, if Duan Zhanpeng didn't testify for me, how could I have any evidence to prove that the casino belonged to me?

But now, Wei Guang has no choice but to grit his teeth and say bravely: "To tell you the truth, the Daikin Casino is indeed the villain's property, and Duan Zhanpeng is the steward hired by the villain. This matter, my

All the family members can testify. Also, the account books submitted by the villain a few days ago are the best proof of the villain’s identity. If the villain is not the owner of the Dajin Casino, how can he get the account books of the gambling house. The villain

Everything I said is true, I hope you will understand clearly."

His testimony was no different from nonsense. Yue Su sneered in his heart, but his face was still like autumn water. He nodded slightly, then reached out to Duan Zhanpeng and said loudly: "It's your turn!"
