Chapter 564 The second confrontation with Du Zheng

In addition to being smart and clever, the book boys in wealthy families also have to look pretty. After all, the book boys often have to go out with their owners, and they cannot be ridiculous and ridiculous. Therefore, although Li Jie has never seen Cui An, he can guess that the other party’s appearance will definitely not be bad.

In contrast, Cui Er is not tall and looks ordinary. In addition, his family is a servant of the Cui family for three generations, so he has no status at all. Therefore, according to common sense, as long as that woman is not blind, she will never abandon Cui An and fall in love with Cui Er.

However, as soon as Li Jie said that, Cui Er suddenly shouted angrily: "What she likes is me! It's me! It's not that bastard Cui An!"

Cui Er's sudden rage also scared Li Jie and Huang Hua. Then Huang Hua reacted and kicked, but in the end he was stopped by Li Jie.

Cui Er, who was beaten, became honest, and his whole body shrank into a ball, lowered his head and stopped talking. He looked like an injured wild dog, but there was a bit of stubbornness in his eyes.

When Li Jie saw Cui Er's appearance, he sighed secretly: Life is, sometimes living in lies makes you feel more relaxed.

The group returned to the peace department. Li Jie didn't even take a sip of tea and went directly to the imperial prison to interrogate Du Zheng. After a few days, Du Zheng seemed much haggard. After all, the feeling of going to jail was not good. Although he could not be convicted for the time being, he knew that Li Jie would definitely try his best to find his guilt during this period, so he lived in suffering every day.

Li Jie sat leisurely on the chair, looked at Du Zhengshi coming in, poured him a cup of tea, and signaled him to sit down and talk.

However, when Du Zheng saw Li Jie's expression, his face suddenly became very ugly. He sat in front of Li Jie, then drank the tea and said, "Looking at the way the prince consort is sure to win, you should have found any important evidence?"

"Du Shangshu is indeed a very smart person. Unfortunately, your intelligence is not used on the right path. Instead, it is used to embezzle and accept bribes, raise murders and murders!" When Li Jie said this, he also took out the evidence retrieved from the Cui Mansion and left it in front of the other party.

Du Zheng picked up the evidence and looked at it, then smiled bitterly and said, "As expected, I knew that there must be something hidden in Cui Lingyun's hands. I had already ordered my subordinates to kill him and destroy the evidence, but I didn't expect that the evidence would be preserved."

"No one is a fool. You asked Cui Er to kill someone. Although he had designed a way out for him to escape from crime, he was also worried that you would kill someone to silence him, so he hid the evidence privately." Li Jie explained slowly.

"The prince-in-law is really amazing. Since you know that the murderer is Cui Er, then Hongxing Gambling House must have sent someone, right?" Du Zheng did not make any more quibbling this time. After all, he knew that with evidence, he could be convicted even if he didn't admit it.

"Yes, the Imperial Mausoleum Guard went out to arrest people in person, and he should be back now. The previous case of Wu Jingshi's assassination should have been done by the one-eyed bulls, right?" Li Jie nodded and replied.

"The prince-consort already knows it, why ask me again?" Du Zheng put the booklet in his hand back on the table and said. He actually wanted to destroy the booklet now, but he knew that it would be useless even if it was destroyed. After all, the one-eyed bull had been exposed and would soon find more of his guilt.

"There is no other meaning. I just come to see how Du Shangshu confessed his guilt and was punished. I didn't expect that Du Shangshu can still remain calm. I really admire him!" Li Jie smiled and said sarcastically. In order to investigate the case, he suffered a lot. Now he finally found out. Of course, he has to see the performance of Du Zheng, the main culprit.

"Haha, I'm afraid it's disappointing the prince-consort. I didn't see Du's miserable appearance crying. But to be honest, since the day I entered the imperial prison, I have been worried, afraid that you will find evidence to identify me. As a result, you find it now, I feel relieved. Anyway, no matter how big it is, I've been able to see it." Du Zheng said very open-mindedly.

"There is nothing to be disappointed. A vicious person has an extraordinary mind. From the first day you walk on this road, you should have expected what will happen today." Li Jie sneered and replied.

Of course, that's what he said, Li Jie was actually a little disappointed. Du Zheng's calmness was beyond his expectations, which made him unable to feel too much joy of victory.

Hearing Li Jie's words, Du Zheng smiled calmly anyway, "I think you should care about yourself, your son-in-law, you will investigate the case to the end. I will tell you the truth. Almost half of the officials in the entire Jiangnan officialdom are involved. Now you have arrested hundreds of people. Do you have to arrest all the officials involved in the case and ask for a crime next?"

"So what? Since I have decided to do it, I will never let one go!" Li Jie replied with a sneer again.

"Okay, Emperor Taizu valued you the most at the time. Your temperament was really similar to Emperor Taizu. If he was in power, we would definitely not be able to escape death. Unfortunately, Emperor Taizu is no longer there. If you arrested so many officials, the entire Jiangnan officialdom will be empty. At that time, it may cause even greater chaos. Wouldn't you be afraid?" Du Zheng asked again.

Seeing Du Zheng's calm appearance, Li Jie couldn't help laughing, and then pointed to the other party and said, "When you arrested you that day, you asked me the same question. I didn't answer at that time. Now when you ask this question again, do you think that the law does not blame the public and the court dares not kill you people, so you imagine that you still have a glimmer of hope?"

"Isn't it?" Du Zheng reached out and poured himself a cup of tea, then tasted it and asked.

"Of course not. Since you mentioned this, I might as well tell you so that you can be a wise man!" Li Jie said this and looked at Du Zheng, and then said word by word, "Actually, I want to thank you, because if you weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd have to wait for more than ten years to start this."

"What do you thank me?" Du Zheng looked at Li Jie, but he felt a little bad in Li Jie's gaze, and there was a little uneasiness in his expression.
