Yu Xuanji said: "Now that everything is done, let's rest where we are. The Japanese officials will interrogate us on the spot tomorrow."

Ye Zelin ordered two officers and soldiers to take Cai Yuanchang down and lock him up, and sent people to guard him in shifts, while he rested in the room next to him. Yu Chisu found two rooms for Yu Xuanji and Lao Qiao to rest for a while. After the two rested, she jumped up to the roof, used the knife as a pillow, crossed her legs, and fell asleep.

After Sai Yuhuan was taken away by Zhang Zhongjian, after walking for a while, she shook off Zhang Zhongjian's hand and asked angrily: "Hua Mingqiao, why?"

Zhang Zhongjian said calmly: "Ye Zelin knows our identities."

Sai Yuhuan said: "Didn't he already know this?"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "I mean he knows that I am Hua Mingqiao. He didn't order anyone to arrest us just now and let us go on purpose."

Sai Yuhuan said anxiously: "How did he know? He wouldn't know, aren't you dead?

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head and said: "Maybe he guessed it. As for when he suspected it, I don't know. Maybe Hua'er also knows it, or maybe he doesn't know it yet. He will know when Yu Xuanji interrogates Cai Yuanchang and meets Ye Zelin." He looked at Sai Yuhuan. He said heavily, "My niece-in-law has a very reasonable saying. He said that it would be better for Cai Yuanchang to die in the hands of the court than in our hands. I know it is cruel to say this. After all, revenge has been your biggest wish in the past ten years. But we still have Yue Zheng and so many brothers, and Ye Zelin and Hua'er are on the opposite side of us. They can let us go or kill us."

Sai Yuhuan said: "How could Hua Fushu do this? You are her biological uncle!"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "There is no mercy before the law. Hua'er has done enough."

The east is white and the sky will light up soon.

Ye Zelin walked out of the room and went to look for Yu Xuanji, but Yu Xuanji and the others had already arrived.

Yu Xuanji said: "I have just walked around this courtyard. The furniture is made of red sandalwood and pineapple, and there are countless precious calligraphy and paintings. The porcelain is from Jingzhen. The porcelain bottles placed in the main hall are actually red porcelain, a specialty of Dingzhou. A single piece of red porcelain is worth at least a thousand taels, and the highest one is worth tens of thousands. Even the palace rarely uses red porcelain, and His Majesty is not allowed to pay tribute to red porcelain. Cai Yuanchang actually has several pairs. This yard is worth at least a million. This The house is comparable to a palace, you are really rich, I don’t even have this 1% of my entire wealth.”

Ye Zelin naturally heard the sarcasm in Yu Xuanji's words, and he said: "The imperial palace is not so beautiful."

Both of them understood that the Song Dynasty promoted simplicity and frugality, and Cai Yuanchang only served as Jiedushi for only ten years. Such a magnificent house must have cost a lot of money to build.

Where did he get the money to build a house? He must have come from something wrong?

Yu Xuanji ordered someone to open the door and walked in. He saw Cai Yuanchang looking slovenly, like a beggar. He said lightly: "I heard that your wife and children were killed. It must be very painful."

Ye Zelin and the other three also came in. Listening to their uncle's condolences to a murderer, Yu Chi Su said displeasedly: "Uncle, he killed someone, this is retribution."

Yu Xuanji said kindly: "The sin is not as bad as that of my wife and children.

Ye Zelin said: "It was just a chess piece, now it is just an abandoned piece."

Cai Yuanchang's eyes were dull and lifeless, and slowly he raised the arc of ridicule. He was so sad, so miserable, so ridiculous. The chess piece was already pitiful, but wouldn't it be even more pitiful to abandon it?

He has already been made a chess piece, and that person wants him to be a discarded piece, to kill his wife and children, and to silence everyone. Then, should he destroy his entire clan next?

If one person commits a crime, it does not harm the whole family; if a family commits a crime, it does not harm the entire clan.

He is a chess piece, and even more so a discarded piece...

"Ha ha--"

He laughed, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, but did not stay. This was the dignity he left for himself, the last bit of dignity he left for himself.

Cai Yuanchang said: "Ye Zelin, I am a chess piece, so you are not a chess piece."

Ye Zelin said warmly: "I am a chess piece, but not an abandoned piece."

Cai Yuanchang smiled and said: "You will also become an outcast when necessary."

Ye Zelin smiled happily and said: "I am willing and have no regrets, but you are unwilling and have no choice."

Cai Yuanchang only smiled and said nothing.

Yu Xuanji asked Lao Qiao to move a chair. He sat upright, assuming an official attitude, but what he said was very sharp: "Cai Yuanchang, are you willing? Your wife and children died innocently. Do you hate it? Do you resent it?" , Do you want revenge? To die like this and leave your enemies free in the world, is it worthy of your wife and children, and is it worthy of your troubled parents? "

Cai Yuanchang secretly laughed. Yu Xuanji is worthy of being a minister. The interrogation does not follow the rules. Is he willing to do so? Does he hate it?

Of course he is unwilling, of course he is resentful!

Is he going to confess? No, he can't.

He can be a sinner of the Cai family, but not a sinner of the Cai family.

He said: "Yu Xuanji, I stole the one hundred thousand official silver. I asked Hang Yu to kill Cheng Wenbo. I found Cheng Wenzhong and Wu Zuo to be killed by assassins. Even the attack on you was planned by me."

Yu Xuanji was slightly startled, Cai Yuanchang just confessed like this?

It's so easy, much easier than Hang Yu.

Yu Xuanji asked again: "Is there any more?"

Cai Yuanchang said: "No more."

Yu Chi Su was secretly angry. Cai Yuan Chang had committed more than one crime, and there were too many crimes to list. He only admitted to this small crime.

Yu Xuanji said: "You are not going to admit to accepting bribes, buying and selling people, and operating illegally. I have the account books to prove it."

With that said, he took the booklet handed over by Lao Qiao and opened it page by page in front of Cai Yuanchang.

Cai Yuanchang looked at the account book and remembered something, "Who gave you the account book?"

Yu Xuanji rolled his eyes and rolled his eyes at Cai Yuanchang, "You have offended many people, and you don't know who will deal with you."

Cai Yuanchang asked: "Why do you say this account book is true?"

Yu Xuanji said calmly: "You just admitted it. If you don't, tell me what I'm going to do."

Cai Yuanchang almost fainted and said angrily: "Yu Xuanji, you are cheating!"

Yu Xuanji corrected him: "I am a soldier who never tires of deceit."

He deliberately paused for a moment and then said, "Cai Yuanchang, do you want to confess?"

Cai Yuanchang remained silent.

Yu Xuanji stood up, shook his wide sleeves, and said, "You don't intend to confess, and I don't intend to go into details. This case is over."

Yu Xuanji asked Lao Qiao and Yu Chisu to handle the closing matters and walked out.

Ye Zelin hesitated for a moment and then chased Yu Xuanji.

Knowing that Ye Zelin was following, Yu Xuanji stopped in the deserted corridor, "You want to ask me why I didn't interrogate Cai Yuanchang."

Ye Zelin nodded. He had this idea, but he was more puzzled as to why Yu Xuanji didn't continue the interrogation. As long as he continued the interrogation, he would be able to find out something.

They all knew that behind Cai Yuanchang was King Qinghe.

Yu Xuanji sat down on the crossbar of the corridor and said, "Young man, don't be in a hurry. You should know the power of King Qinghe in the court."

Ye Zelin said: "I know."

Yu Xuanji said again: "With Cai Yuanchang, do you think you can overthrow King Qinghe?"

Ye Zelin nodded immediately, then shook his head.
