Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team
Chapter 58 Zhang Lao4 changes his confession in court
Li Cunxi leaned back and said unkindly:
"Master Fang, it would be better if you don't use such grand words to deceive the Master."
"After all, that kind of thing can't even deceive a child like me who is in his teens, so how can it be hidden from Lord Di?"
Fang Qian was so angry that his teeth were itching.
This kid has never been to Daliushu Village, so how does he know what happened in Daliushu Village?
"Mr. Li, what you said is probably..."
"Hmph! You are still talking nonsense in front of Lord Di!" Li Cunxi slammed the tea bowl heavily on the table.
The tea bowl fell over and the tea spilled onto the table.
"It is obviously your fault for not governing well. You allowed corrupt officials to secretly embezzle the compensation money issued by the court, and you also forcibly seized the people's land, making life miserable for the people!"
"The people had no choice but to report to you, the governor of Youzhou. You did not read the complaint or hold a trial, but sentenced him to death without authorization. This aroused public anger!"
Li Cunxi's face was almost distorted with anger, but Wu Yizi on the side saw something.
This Mr. Li's performance seems a bit deliberate...
Like...
Reminding Fang Qian something.
"After the incident, you, the Lord, refused to repent and pushed all the responsibility onto the people. You are just trying to find a pretext to accuse someone!"
Di Renjie also spoke up and said angrily:
"You have stirred up a civil uprising, yet you are now offering your clever words to me. Do you really think I can be deceived?"
Fang Qian hurriedly stood up, knelt down and explained:
"Sir, I am wronged. I have sent all the compensation money to various counties, and the county magistrates have distributed it. I dare not embezzle a single cent."
"As for seizing people's land and sentencing people to death, this is even more absurd. It does not benefit me in any way!"
"If any of these things are true, I am willing to behead him at Caishikou to appease the people!"
Di Renjie and Li Cunxi looked at each other quietly and nodded.
"In that case, I have wronged you?"
"I dare not do so. I am afraid that you may have misunderstood the slander and believed it to be true."
Li Cunxi suddenly stood up, clasped his hands, and said, "Sir, I am not feeling well, so I will not accompany you here any longer."
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Please do as you wish."
As soon as I left the lobby, I heard a fierce quarrel inside.
Li Cunxi, with his hands behind his back, sneaked outside the screen wall of the main hall and glanced at Li Yuanfang and the villagers of Daliushu Village outside the governor's mansion.
This is not the first time I have seen Li Yuanfang, but every time I see him, I have a strong sense of security.
According to the plot, Di Renjie and Fang Qian basically had their showdown, and Di Renjie directly pointed out that Fang Qian had arranged a big show last night.
According to the plan, Di Renjie is still acting.
After returning from the north gate last night, the two discussed for half an hour and made plans to meet Fang Qian today.
Among them was the falling out with Fang Qian, and Li Cunxi's role in this plan was... a troublemaker.
The shit-stirring part hasn't started yet, and Li Cunxi is still waiting for an opportunity.
The time for the court session had arrived. Li Yuanfang led the bailiffs in, and Hu Jinghui and the Qianniu Guards escorted them all the way.
When they arrived at the lobby, Li Yuanfang went up to report, leaving Hu Jinghui alone to guard the villagers.
Li Cunxi rushed to the lobby and saw that everyone had already gone into the lobby.
"It's too late. It's time to change your confession in court."
Di Renjie asked, "Zhang Laosi, last time you said that you went to the city to file a complaint, but the governor didn't even read the complaint and sentenced you to death. Is that true?"
Zhang Laosi tilted his head and looked at Fang Qian, who seemed to want to eat him alive.
How could he not be familiar with this face?
The last time people went to the city to file a complaint, this crooked official not only ignored their complaint, but directly sentenced them to death.
He really wanted to repeat what he had said to Di Renjie that day.
But...that threatening face and sinister voice kept circling in his mind.
After a long time, Zhang Laosi knocked his head on the cold ground.
The ground is so cool!
"I... deserve to die!"
"What I said last time was that I was deceiving the Imperial Envoy... That is not the case."
Li Yuanfang, who had been with the villagers for three days, immediately turned around and looked at Zhang Laosi with an incredible look.
How could Li Yuanfang, who ate and lived with them every day, not know that these people were suffering from persecution by the government!
In the past few days, he has often spoken ill of the government in front of him.
Why did he change his statement immediately when he got here in the hall?
Di Renjie subconsciously looked at Fang Qian beside him, only to see that Fang Qian was relieved.
There was actually an expression of secret satisfaction on that face.
The fact that Zhang Lao Si openly changed his confession in the hall must be related to Fang Qian!
Di Renjie slammed the gavel and decided to trick Zhang Laosi. He said, "You brave Zhang Laosi, this is in court, how can I tolerate you lying and committing adultery? Tell the truth!"
Zhang Laosi kowtowed quickly and said, "I was just talking nonsense last time. What I said today is the truth."
"If that's the case, why did the villagers of Daliushu Village rebel? Why did they break into Youzhou Prison?"
"He, they are rebelling, it has nothing to do with me! I really don't know!"
This answer made Di Renjie quite dissatisfied, but Fang Qian on the side was secretly quite happy.
Now that the villagers of Daliushu Village have said so, isn't Fang Qian still a loyal and capable general?
Is there any evidence to prove that he is a treacherous person?
I’m afraid not!
Di Renjie glanced at Fang Qian and thought that it must be related to you. Then he smiled slightly, and his serious look disappeared.
"Well, today's trial ends here."
"Take them away, Yuan Fang, and treat them well."
Li Yuanfang was furious and shouted with a dark face:
"Take them down!"
The officers urged the villagers to leave. Zhang Laosi looked back every few steps, feeling very upset.
He felt bad today because he had deceived the imperial envoy, the land god, who treated them like his own son.
But what can I do if I feel uncomfortable?
If we didn't say this, Daliushu Village would be destroyed in an instant!
"I must get to the bottom of this matter."
"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. If you want to investigate, please feel free to do so."
In the court, Fang Qian, now confident, openly challenged Di Renjie.
"Okay, I want to see whose door this ghost is calling!"
As luck would have it, Hu Jinghui happened to walk into the hall and interrupted the secret fight between the two men.
"Sir, you can move to the Grand Commander's Headquarters now."
Fang Qian, who had just been arguing with Di Renjie, immediately smiled:
"I have already made the arrangements. The headquarters of the Grand Commander will be located in Wu Garden in Youzhou City."
Di Renjie smiled with a fake smile:
"Thank you, Master Fang."
Li Cunxi, who had watched a good show, also walked up to the hall, bowed to Fang Qian, and said:
"Since Lord Di is leaving, I will have no choice but to continue to bother Lord Fang."
Fang Qian frowned and was about to refuse, but when he looked up, he saw Li Cunxi holding the shining golden token in his hand.
"I am extremely pleased!"
