Zhang Weiyu said coldly, "I want to see how much Jiang Wang has prepared for this day. What evidence can you produce?"
He could not refuse Dugu Xiao's request for evidence in front of so many people.
He also didn't believe that this loyal dog, who was so loyal to Jiang Wang, could really come up with any evidence to help Jiang Wang get out of this predicament.
But he still cautiously added "Jiang Wang's preparations" to leave an opening for himself to destroy this evidence.
Dugu Xiao was about to speak when Chung Geng Sheng reached out to stop her.
This young master from a top family looked at Zhang Weiyu and said seriously, "Sir Zhang, are you saying that the Tianjiao of Da Qi secretly colluded with the Fishing Sea Tower?"
"I want to correct two of your mistakes." Zhang Weiyu said, "Firstly, Jiang Wang is indeed the Tianjiao of the country, but Jiang Wang is not the only Tianjiao of the country. Secondly, whether he colluded with the Fishing Sea Tower is not up to me. It depends on the evidence. Firstly, I cannot control Jiang Wang. Secondly, I cannot interfere with the Fishing Sea Tower. I am just enforcing the law impartially. "
Even when he had the upper hand, Zhang Weiyu was still very cautious.
This time, he led the team to Qingyang Town to carry out the search. Perhaps the only "careless" thing he did was to hold the amulet in his hand, which caused him to owe a huge debt.
"You really become braver with every setback." Chung Geng Sheng shook his head and laughed. Then he asked, "The imperial court has said that they will come to Qingyang Town to investigate whether Jiang Wang and the remaining members of the Yang family have anything to do with each other. They also want to investigate Jiang Wang's connections with Pingping and Hell. The focus is on these three families. Is it within the rules for you to mention the Fishing Sea Tower now? "
Zhang Weiyu looked at Ma Xiong in surprise. "Constable Ma, you were investigating a person for theft. But you didn't find him for theft. Instead, you found him for murder. Is this against the rules? Will your Beiya release this person because of this? "
Ma Xiong made a sound, as if this question was worth thinking about.
Chung Geng Sheng didn't make things difficult for him for too long. He took the initiative to continue the conversation, "In other words, Lord Zhang, you think that Jiang Wang has nothing to do with the remnants of the Yang Family, the Pingdeng State, or the doorless hell. His true identity was actually a spy for Fishing Sea Tower. Am I right? "
"I'll say it again." Zhang Weiyu said lightly, "It's not what I think. That is what the evidence shows. "
"Then what about the rumors in Linzi?" Chung Geng Sheng asked.
Zhang Weiyu said, "Who knows? Maybe it's a cover-up? "
Pa!
Chung Geng Sheng clapped his hands and said, "Doctor Zhang Weiyu of the Ministry of Appointments has found evidence that the rumors in Linzi were all lies. The Yang Family's remnants, the Equal State, and the Gates of Hell were all lies. In fact, Jiang Wang colluded with Fishing Sea Tower! "
Zhang Weiyu only said, "Let us speak with evidence."
"Very good!" Chung Geng Sheng clapped his hands and sighed. He looked at Dugu Xiao and said, "Constable Dugu, as Lord Zhang said, let's speak with evidence!"
Dugu Xiao looked up at the sky and said, "Please wait for a while. My evidence is on the way. It will arrive here in about an hour."
"Ha, then I shall wait and see."
Zhang Weiyu couldn't be bothered with their bluff. He grabbed Fan Qingqing's hair and dragged her into the Zhengsheng Hall. He said, "Lord Ma, since there is still an hour, why don't we ask some questions first?"
Chung Geng Sheng was expressionless. He walked into the hall, followed by Shi Si.
Ma Xiong, Dugu Xiao, Zhang Hai, and two of Zhang Weiyu's subordinates also walked into the hall.
Zhang Weiyu casually threw Fan Qingqing on the ground and sat down on the seat on the left.
At this moment, Dugu Xiao walked towards the back of the hall.
There was one of Zhang Weiyu's subordinates following behind him, keeping an eye on him.
But Dugu Xiao didn't do anything secretive. After a while, he came out with a specially-made big chair and placed it at the front. He said softly to Chung Geng Sheng, "Master said that after this hall is built, he will welcome his friends here. One of them is a very rich friend. He doesn't sit on an ordinary chair … so we specially prepared this one. We won't use it on normal days. "
Chung Geng Sheng looked at him and sneered, "This is your idea, right? That guy isn't so considerate! "
But he had already walked forward and sat down comfortably.
He turned his head and said to Shi Si, "Jiang Wang found a good housekeeper, don't you think so?"
Shi Si, who was covered in black armor, nodded in agreement.
Zhang Weiyu couldn't be bothered with them. He looked at Fan Qingqing, who was curled up on the ground, and said gently, "Let's continue with the previous question, okay?"
At this moment, Fan Qingqing's aura was weak. Her hair was messy and her face was gloomy. She said miserably, "I don't know what you want to know."
Of course, she should know, but Zhang Weiyu wouldn't say it directly.
Smart people should have the tacit understanding of smart people.
Zhang Weiyu only said, "Just say what you did. Don't hide, don't hide, don't pretend. "
Fan Qingqing was silent for a while and said, "I was an elder of the Five Immortal Sect on the overseas Xia Island. Later, the sect was destroyed by evil people. I could only hide. Luckily, Master Jiang Wang took me in. I followed him to Qi to seek protection. "
Zhang Weiyu interrupted, "What's your relationship with Jiang Wang? Why did he take you in?"
Fan Qingqing said slowly, "We met because of a sea monster that went out of control. At that time, Master Jiang killed the sea monster of the Furious Whale Gang in order to save a boat full of ordinary people. I represented the Five Immortal Sect and went to the sea to check out the situation. I felt his integrity and kindness and took the initiative to befriend him.
After the Five Immortals Sect was destroyed, I was terrified and uneasy, so I hid here and there. Coincidentally, I met Lord Jiang Wang. He pitied my experience and saw that my cultivation was not bad. When I was an Elder, I had some experience, so he took me in. "
This was obviously not the answer that Zhang Weiyu wanted.
Fan Qingqing's answer at this moment was also clear, but it was subtly different from her earlier attitude in the Qingyang Town Hall.
At that time, she didn't have anything to do with Jiang Wang. Now, she had some feelings.
Was she hoping that with the evidence that Dugu Xiao said, Jiang Wang could turn the situation around? Was she afraid of Chung Geng Sheng's power, so she didn't dare to bite him?
Zhang Weiyu didn't comment, "Continue."
Fan Qingqing had obviously thought it through. She said, "After I came to Qi, I had a peaceful time and was able to walk out of the sadness of the destruction of my sect. But Qingyang Town was too small. There was limited space for development and almost no cultivation resources. Master Jiang Wang rarely returned to his fief. We didn't have many opportunities to get along. He always trusted Dugu Xiao the most. Later, the people of the Fishing Sea Tower contacted me. I was blinded by greed and agreed to exchange the information for cultivation resources … "
Zhang Weiyu smiled. This old woman was so fickle. If that was the case, then she really had nothing to do with Jiang Wang!
"How did the people of the Fishing Sea Tower bypass Jiang Wang to contact you? They couldn't even see what their subordinates were doing. Is Jiang Wang such a fool? You are slandering the Tianjiao of our Da Qi! "
"No, no." Fan Qingqing shook her head and said, "In the early years, there was a practical elder of the Fishing Sea Tower behind the Five Immortal Sect. This is something that can be investigated. Therefore, I have always had a channel to communicate with the Fishing Sea Tower. They also used this channel to contact me. As for Master Jiang, he stays in Qingyang Town for less than a day a year. It is indeed difficult for him to find out what I am doing. "
The more she spoke, the more innocent Jiang Wang seemed.
Zhang Weiyu faintly felt that he had gone in the wrong direction. But at this time, there was no turning back.
"You'd better think carefully before you speak."
He said in a low voice, "Fan Qingqing, you have not been tortured yet. I want to give you a chance. Do you understand? "
Zhang Weiyu said that he wanted Ma Xiong to investigate and threaten him to show the means of the Blue Medal. In fact, he was asking the questions himself. Obviously, he was not at ease with Ma Xiong.
"What?" Chung Geng Sheng, who was sitting on a special big chair, said, "Master Zhang, do you still want to extort a confession by torture? Why do you have to go through so much trouble? How about this? What do you want Fan Qingqing to say? Just write a note and let her read it. Won't that be a happy ending? "
"Mister Chongxuan, you misunderstood." Zhang Weiyu said in a low voice, "Some sinners may be lucky. I am just asking her to recognize the reality."
He still looked at Fan Qingqing and said slowly, "Look at how he is flaunting his power here because of his ancestors. Doesn't it seem like he is very capable? But do you think he can stop the search this time? Do you know what it means when the fief is searched? He can't even protect Jiang Wang. Do you think he can protect you? What do you think the result will be if you take on all the responsibility alone? "
It was not that he wanted to interrogate her in front of Chung Geng Sheng. It was just that he did not have the space to interrogate her in private.
Although Jiang Wang had only been in Linzi for two years, he was no longer a rootless duckweed.
Not to mention the pressure exerted by Chung Geng Sheng and the subtle protection of the upper echelons of Beiya. Even Li Zhengshu, the Secretary of Donghua, had mentioned to Chen Fu that he had to handle the case fairly.
With so many people's support and so many pairs of eyes watching, it was impossible to fabricate any false evidence or make a confession under torture.
The information in the Zhengsheng Hall was true. The information that Fan Qingqing sent to the Fishing Tower was also true. There was no reason for Jiang Wang to collude with the Fishing Tower. It was not true!
He had to get to the bottom of this clue about Fan Qingqing and not let go of this person.
He was very sure that Fan Qingqing was just a scapegoat. The mastermind must be Jiang Wang. What he had to do was to break Fan Qingqing's wishful thinking and let her know who could save her.
"Hey, hey. Are you trying to induce a confession in front of me? "Chung Geng Sheng turned his head and asked Ma Xiong," Constable Ma, is this considered inducement? "
"Uh …" The senior Blue Medal Constable of Beiya was in deep thought again.
This question seemed to be more difficult than what to eat for lunch.
Zhang Weiyu spread out his hands. "I am just helping her to recognize the reality. I don't want her to think that some aristocratic families can do whatever they want in Qi. After removing the external factors that affect the testimony, I don't think she should be blamed. "
"If you think that your interrogation method is normal …" Chung Geng Sheng was unexpectedly easy to talk to this time. He only raised his hand. "You can continue."
This cast a shadow over Zhang Weiyu's heart.
But he could not back down.
Instead, he said to Fan Qingqing, "Did you hear that? Now, describe the facts properly. There is still a chance for you to atone for your mistakes. "
Fan Qingqing said sadly, "Sir, everything I said is true. "Part of the map of Rizhao County's supernatural forces was drawn by me after I probed it bit by bit. The other part was information that I bought from someone in private. I can hand over the list of people who bought and sold it. Every time I have any information, I put it here. The people from the Fishing Tower come every 15th day to take the information. "
It seemed very risky to put the information in the chair in the Zhengsheng Hall, but in fact, it was very safe.
Because of the uniqueness of the Zhengsheng Hall, no one would come here when Jiang Wang was not around.
And Jiang Wang lived in Linzi most of the time. Every time he returned to his fief, he would come and go in a hurry.
It was safer to hide here than anywhere else in Qingyang Town.
Fan Qingqing continued, "This matter was discovered by Sir, so I deserved it. But no one else in Qingyang Town knows about it. "
"Okay, you don't have to say anymore." Zhang Weiyu raised his hand. He was a little annoyed.
The person in front of him was determined to take all the blame. There was no point in continuing to ask. But because of the pressure from Chung Geng Sheng and the others, he could not use any other methods.
"There is still time." Chung Geng Sheng smiled faintly. "Sir Zhang, why don't you ask anymore?"
"You think you have won?" Zhang Weiyu said, "She said these words to completely deny Jiang Wang's involvement. Who can she convince? I don't believe that Jiang Wang did not know about this! "
Chung Geng Sheng said indifferently, "If you think she is lying, you can report it to the imperial court and ask Sir Chen Fu to search her soul personally."
Fan Qingqing's body trembled. She was terrified.
Zhang Weiyu looked at her disdainfully and said, "Before the soul-searching technique comes into contact, the relevant memories in the soul will be automatically erased … You and I are both familiar with this technique. It's not difficult for the Fishing Sea Tower. You want to use me to help Jiang Wang erase the evidence of his crimes? You are underestimating me! "
Chung Geng Sheng sighed. "You are really measuring the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure."
Zhang Weiyu glanced at his stomach. "Your heart is quite big. I think it can contain all kinds of things."
"Yes," Chung Geng Sheng laughed. "For example, some people's envy, jealousy, and anger."
"Ha!" Zhang Weiyu took the opportunity to say to Fan Qingqing, "Did you see that? Who do you think you are!? You think you are loyal to your master, but who cares about you? It doesn't matter if your soul is searched. Do you still think you will be protected? "
Fan Qingqing lowered her eyes. Her expression was complicated.
Zhang Weiyu said, "You can speak after you think clearly. If you don't, you don't have to speak anymore. "
He was almost saying that he wanted Fan Qingqing to take out the evidence of Jiang Wang colluding with the Fishing Sea Tower in exchange for his freedom.
But to Fan Qingqing, where did she have the evidence? Jiang Wang really did not know about this!
Unless …
She was framing him!
And she was sure that even if Zhang Weiyu saw through her framing, he would still help her complete the details.
But she had to think …
What did Chung Geng Sheng want to do?
Why would this seemingly amiable but actually terrifying fatty say the word 'soul search' so casually, as if he didn't care about her at all and didn't want to fight for her?
It seemed … he was waiting for her to frame him!
Fan Qingqing thought for a while. Finally, she did not say anything.
Thus, the main hall fell into a strange silence.
Chung Geng Sheng looked outside the hall, bored. Shi Fourteen, who was behind him, walked to the window and opened it.
From the distant mountains to the nearby fields, from the horizon to the ear. Everything in the secular world was like a drum, and everything in nature was natural.
So the wind blew and the bamboo waves rustled.
The people in the hall listened to the sound in silence.
