The first work of the imperial prison

In the Fusi lobby of Beizhen, the sun was shining darkly, and the wind was quiet and silent.

Everyone at the scene fell into silence. Some people were horrified, they didn't expect He Yiming to be so fierce, and dared to say anything back; It's all developed like this, the evidence is there, but there are no key witnesses, and others just don't cooperate or confess, what else can be done?

Qiu Yiqing was not worried, and tapped his knuckles on the table: "He Yiming, you are on duty in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You should know that Beizhen Fusi handles cases with special assistance, which is different from other places."

He Yiming's expression changed immediately: "You mean..."

Chou Yiqing didn't say a word, and flicked his fingers forward, there was a movement in the Jinyiwei on both sides, followed by a subtle, but absolutely obvious voice that you could hear——

They are boards, whips, chains, and all the instruments of torture that only you can't think of, and nothing that can't be done here.

He Yiming gritted his teeth: "At the root of the imperial city, at the foot of the emperor, will the commander succeed in beating him up?"

Shen Jiang didn't really feel happy until now, and sneered: "Look at what Mr. He said, how could Beizhen Fusi handle the case, how could he be tortured into a trick? Open your eyes and speak well... If you are wronged and want to fight, you can only be called wronged. For the real murderer, it is too kind to kill him on the spot, no matter what he intends!"

How can someone like you have the face to complain, you just need to be beaten, and you won't cry when you see the coffin!

"Master He is not afraid of such things," Ye Baiting smiled, "The last time I was dealing with the Ministry of Accounts case, when the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts was tortured, Mr. He was there, didn't he say nothing?"

Qiu Yiqing paused for a moment, as if reminded by these words, he waved his hand to let the Jin Yiwei go down: "Come on, change the knife in the torture room, Mr. He is well-informed, I'm afraid I won't look down on such a small matter. .”

He Yiming: ...

The sound of boards, whips and iron chains gradually disappeared, and far away from the back door, there was the sound of thin blades scratching the wall on the ground, and the scratching made people's scalps hurt——

"Okay, I'll recruit."

He Yiming narrowed his eyes and licked his lips: "What you said is true, if I don't cooperate, it will appear a little disrespectful, okay, people are my fault, it's all my fault, okay right?"

"As for Yu Wenzhang, I know that he has an old mother at home. He found someone to control her and coaxed the old man to be happy. He took her things. A month ago, when he went to Baifo Temple to ask for a lottery, he found Yu Wenzhang. Talk to him, increase your relationship, don't stay so far away from me, but he is stubborn and naive, he thinks that a disgusting theory can drive me away, so I went to talk to him by myself , how could you give up so easily?"

"I wanted to persuade him to be good and be obedient, but he didn't listen, so I had to take out my old mother's things and threaten him. Who knew that he would rather give up his own life and his elderly family members, and be scolded for being unfilial than obedient. , directly jumped off the building—”

"Oh, he didn't jump by himself, I had to push it, otherwise, why did the button of my skirt fall there by such a coincidence?"

"Tsk tsk, what a good person, it sounds brave, isn't he afraid of death? But he is very stubborn and unwilling to obey. In fact, he is not a coward. He is afraid that others will harm him. What are you afraid of?"

"Oh, and, let me think about it," He Yiming wrote in his sleeve, "Is there that policy theory? I hate it so much, why didn't I tear it up, and put it on the side of the cabinet?" Woolen cloth?"

"I was in a hurry, jumping up and down in the Baifo Temple, rushing back and forth, praying for blessings, burning incense, asking for a lottery, and killing someone by the way. In the same pagoda, those stupid people on the fifth floor gathered for a vegetarian meal. I didn't notice it at all, am I quite powerful?"

This remark aroused public outrage. Headed by Geng Yuanzhong, everyone looked at them together, saying that they were talking about themselves, why step on them!

But... Did he really kill the person?What kind of murderer would be so frightened and dare to say anything?

He Yiming glanced at Ye Baiting and snorted: "And Huang Kang's death more than three months ago, right? Okay, I did it too."

"He's a man of bad conduct. He's dirty and stinky. He asks people to borrow money everywhere. He can go as far as others can go. But I can't think about it, so I have to pester him. Well, he's also very hard to think about, He insisted on pestering me, insisted on asking me to borrow money, as for me, I couldn't bear this anger, so I prepared to kill him."

"That box of jewelry and gold was prepared by me. It wasn't just a chance encounter. I knew Mr. Geng and the others were going to have a banquet there, and I invited Huang Kang there in advance, and I prepared everything myself. Good scene, while waiting for Huang Kang to "please enter the urn", at the same time getting ready to meet Mr. Geng's drinking game, and get yourself an alibi... Everyone knows that Mr. Geng is drinking and playing around, and saw me. I mean, I have to invite you, add a word of 'together', I agree, and of course I have the opportunity to stay in the restaurant."

"Between intermission, I took the opportunity of urgency, and I went to the top floor to attend Huang Kang's appointment. In order to lower his vigilance, I bought the kind of what you said in advance... Yes, Yang cake, mine I didn't lose the sun cake and the silver bag, so I took it with me, picked it up, and gave it to Huang Kang. He is full of wine, sex and wealth, and he likes this kind of thing. Let me share a piece, and I can't refuse. How about letting him misunderstand and be unfamiliar?"

"I took advantage of this moment to lure him to the edge of the roof with a box of jewelry and property as bait, and gave him a light push—"

"Afterwards, I went downstairs immediately and continued to participate in the wine bureau. It was already dark at that time. Since it was a place I had chosen in advance, the location would certainly be convenient. The dead body will be found and it will be in front of the restaurant guests."

"During this period of time, I was playing games at Mr. Geng's wine bureau... Of course, I specially reminded Zhang You of the crabapple cake. I know that after eating that Yang cake, there will be some color left in my mouth. Naturally, I have to prepare it in advance. How can I make this color disappear, I can’t drink wine or vinegar, so I can only make it another color, everyone’s lips and teeth have changed color, won’t it be impossible to show me?”

"Of course I will never forget what Mr. Geng likes. I still remember it very clearly. When I went out with Zhang You, I deliberately took advantage of the time to argue with him to hint at this. Zhang You is indeed a young man with a big heart. Arrangements were made when we came back, and everyone in the room, as long as they played games and ate crabapple cakes, their mouths would change color."

Everyone present: ...

This guy has a lot of eyes!Thinking about the situation at that time, comparing and comparing, although the time is tight, it seems that it can really be done?But when you say it so blatantly, why do you feel that it lacks a sense of reality, and it doesn't seem quite right?

He Yiming didn't care what other people thought, and continued furiously: "Who else is there next? Yes, Zhang You, and this poor young man."

"He fell to his death from the top of the building on the day when the list was released. Let me think about it... well, it's not difficult to explain. He himself is not capable enough, and he is not named on the list, but he can't accept this result. It's not because he is useless, but he posted it. Crazy, blame others for harming him, to tell you the truth, he had an argument with me at the corner on the third floor, it was true, he just wanted to 'settle accounts' with me, and felt that I had done something to him, but that's all, nothing else, I broke away from him and left, I don’t know about it afterwards, but Jin Yiwei didn’t seem to believe it——There’s no way, all of this can only be done by me again.”

"As for me, an ordinary doctor of the Ministry of punishment, I was tricked by the commander and my righteous brother a few days ago, and my position was demoted three levels in a row. Somehow, I was able to be so capable. He could send people to Yu Wenzhang's hometown, get his old mother's hairpin, and find out the news about the woman Zhang You is new to. Don't come to trouble me again, or even force him to jump off the building—"

"That's the woman he loves the most. She hurts like her heart and liver. She is afraid of melting with her mouth closed and afraid of falling with her hands. Then she has to be obedient and doesn't even dare to scream. I easily pushed her down the stairs. ?”

"After doing all this, I can calmly go back to the crowd. What should I do? When Jin Yiwei finds me, I will put on an innocent and dazed look. If anyone suspects me, I will be wronged... Isn't it very smart?"

The corners of He Yiming's mouth turned up, revealing a mocking smile: "As for me, I have ghosts in my heart, and there is no need to change seasons. If I have to like my old clothes, I have to throw away the clothes I went to the temple; then a box of jewelry and gold If you don’t want it, don’t want it, don’t be greedy at all, don’t hide anything, leave everything to Shangguan’s “Lost and Found”; I don’t even have much contact with Zhang You, just because he provokes me repeatedly, I feel uncomfortable, I have to do everything kill people..."

It doesn't matter what accent you use, it's a trick anyway!

Shen Jiang snorted: "If that's the case, let's make a lottery—"

He Yiming said that the purpose of such a big deal was not for confession, and he immediately raised his voice: "But why do I do these things, there must be a motive! Do I have revenge for killing my father with these people, or do I have to take away my wife? The hatred, why do you have to do this, never die!"

"Officials are ups and downs, being punished maliciously, being demoted to three ranks, I didn't let a fart go, but because Yu Wenzhang didn't like it, if I wanted to kill him, I would kill him. People like me really want to kill someone. What can I do? Unexpectedly, I have to go all the way to find someone's old lady, and threaten my son to commit suicide with my old lady's life. I can escape one or two suspicions, but won't more people know about it? This behavior is kept secret and not exposed , I come out like this, why keep it a secret? Am I stupid?"

"Huang Kang just asked me how much money to borrow. He borrowed money from everyone. Why did I have to kill him? I can't see him too much. I can make the heroes angry with just a few words. Most people will choose Hands-don't you think I'm smart? Why do I have to get blood on my hands when I can talk, and I'm tossing jewelry boxes and touching other people's banquets. It's so complicated, I'm full?"

"The woman who kidnapped Zhang You, that Hanrui, as you can see, the relationship between Master Geng and I is not very good. Why should I intervene in their family affairs? Wouldn't it be better for me to stir up trouble and let them fight among themselves? It’s not me, but with Zhang You’s temperament, I didn’t care about him, I was really angry, there are thousands of ways to deal with him, why did you take such a big risk on the day when the results were announced, and do such a thing?”

The more He Yiming spoke, the more powerful he became, and the more forceful he said: "Where did the people who found Yu's old lady and kidnapped Hanrui come from? Are there servants from my mansion? Has Jin Yiwei been found? How? , Did they recruit me? Definitely not, because I didn’t do it at all! I’m the one who pleaded guilty here. In order to make myself look not so incompetent, I have 'solved the case' very powerfully, I must say so!"

"Qiu Suiqing! Since the day you became the commander of Beizhen Fusi, you have said in front of the emperor and courtiers more than once that you, Jinyiwei, have the best rules in handling affairs, and require that all procedures be correct. Now you only have physical evidence, what about witnesses? Is that how the 'murderer' confession came about? Could it be that you also have to compile witnesses in court and choose a few people to stand up? This is how you handle the case of Fusi in Beizhen Yes, don’t feel guilty, be ashamed or not! Do you dare to stand outside and talk about it to see if anyone believes you!”

"The murderous process of this case is simply absurd, absurd, extremely, extremely, and you Beizhen Fusi is the biggest joke in the world!"

He Yiming said so many words in one breath, not to mention whether it was true or not, the momentum was real, and the whole room was immediately shocked into silence.

Until now, he is still sure that Jinyiwei can't find out more things. Their 'secrets' are well hidden. It is far from a day's work to complete them. If others want to investigate, it is impossible to find clues in just a few days. Everything is speculation, everything is Jin Yiwei's tricking them, this is a game of heart attack, whoever persuades will lose, as long as he perseveres, he will win!

Ye Baiting smiled.

He stood up, walked to the center of the hall, glanced at all the people involved in the case, and finally settled on He Yiming: "Are you asking about the motive? Well, I will give you the motive, because the imperial examination is fraudulent!"

He Yiming sneered and said, "The imperial examination is for the country to select scholars. It is for the welfare of the common people, and the Shangguan is for the face. I advise you not to spread rumors, so as not to cause trouble for the upper body!"

Ye Baiting: "Repeatedly raising the banner, I wish I could wrap myself in the golden light of the Buddha, so that swords and soldiers will not invade. He Yiming, are you afraid?"

He Yiming folded his hands in his sleeves, and dug his nails into his palms fiercely: "You put—"

Ye Baiting directly raised his hand, asking Shen Jiang to present the evidence——

Several booklets that looked very simple were spread out in front of everyone.There are only two books that look new, most of them are dusty, and the pages are even yellowed. When they are opened, there is a crisp sound of paper that has passed through the years. The things recorded inside, the amount of transactions and the code name...

Almost instantly, the face of someone in the hall changed drastically.

Geng Yuanzhong's face turned pale, and his eyelids trembled non-stop. He Yiming didn't react at first, as if he didn't recognize it. Seeing the change in Geng Yuanzhong's face, his pupils shrank suddenly, and something went wrong.

Gao Jun, Hu Anju, Yu Lianhai, everyone's performance is different when they look at this thing, some really don't understand, some understand...

Ye Baiting watched He Yiming's expression change: "It seems that you are very familiar with this kind of thing."

The room fell into dead silence, the real silence, the arrogant people could no longer be arrogant, in the face of the real evidence and facts, all sophistry was pale and powerless, and all the momentum was pointless struggle.

"The examination papers of Gao Jun and Hu Anju, Jin Yiwei has already transferred out."

Ye Baiting didn't look at He Yiming, and his voice was not so strong, gentle and clear, but it contained indescribable power, which made people unable to move: "The answer to the question is good, the pen is brilliant, and it can be compared with the master you are familiar with in the past. Yes, the level of answering questions and the habit of using words are very different from your usual ones—the questions were indeed written and answered by you yourself, but the content was not thought of by you, but memorized in advance, right?"

Gao Jun's eyelids trembled slightly, his face was shocked, he wanted to look at Shangfeng for guidance, but he didn't dare to look over casually, he had mixed feelings for a while, and was speechless.

Hu Anju bowed his head deeply, not knowing whether it was shame or something else, the whole person became more silent and quiet, and he didn't dare to lift his head.

"You have made preparations in advance, bought the questions or answers, entered the examination room to answer, and then you have the so-called 'examination luck', and all the money in the middle has gone to Mr. Geng's shop," Ye Baiting looked at Geng Yuanzhong, His vision was clear and black and white were distinct, "Master Geng, dare to say that you don't know anything?"

Geng Yuanzhong didn't dare.

His mind was spinning rapidly, how to use the appropriate speech skills to get through this section smoothly, but the time was too short, and it was too shocking that Jin Yiwei could find out this, he couldn't react at all!

Ye Baiting said: "Cheating in scientific examinations is a big matter. It cannot be manipulated by one person. There must be different divisions of labor. The method of 'entraining' is the most undesirable method, because it is too easy to be discovered. What should we do? One, in advance Through the question, two, change the paper on the spot."

"Thinking through the questions is not easy to do. During the major exams, the confidentiality of the questions is especially important. The questioners are very comparable, regardless of their character and official rank. They also cherish their feathers and will never sell questions for short-term interests. Injure yourself. If you want to get this title, you have to think about it and make various efforts. It may not even be a business, but a steal. For the long-term development of your own "business", even if you steal the title, it will not be a big deal. It is not difficult to get a temporary financial benefit based on your official rank. What you want is long-term development, help, or 'digging' more talents that are beneficial to you so that you can 'accept' them in the future— ——Hu Anju, the beneficiary of this method, is also the person who is coerced. Of course, not only him, but also people who are on the account books and not in the hall. Since it is a transaction, there must be a secret. It's fine if you can't get up, but if the officials do things smoothly and go straight to Qingyun, then when they need it in the future, because of this 'favor', they can't help but repay it, right?"

"And selling it to them is much more cost-effective than selling it to poor scholars. Their families are willing to pay this 'price', even themselves, because they know that they are not talented enough. If they don't get this opportunity, they may not be on the list for the rest of their lives. , the fat meat in front of them is too fragrant and too greedy, they may not be able to see things farther away, or if they see it, they will subconsciously ignore it, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, let's pass this section first... But that's it? Gao Jun? Hu Anju?"

Hu Anju didn't speak, and didn't know what to say.

Ye Baiting continued: "This second cheating method, as a supplement to the previous one, takes place in the examination room. Because the number of 'examination operations' cannot be too large, it is easy to be discovered if it is carried out in the examination room. Being found out, it’s not a question, is it? Students entering the examination room, after knowing the questions, quickly make an answer sheet and pass it on to the person who “bought” the answer, and the other party will copy the answer down as their own exam paper Submit it, as for whether the person who helped to make this paper can make a second satisfactory answer, others don’t know, and there is no need to care.”

"Compared with the previous method, this method is much more risky. You must have your own examiner in the examination room, and the 'draft' must be handled properly——Huang Kang used this method four years ago. I gave others an answer sheet, but because I didn’t have enough time to rethink it, I only handed in a passable answer sheet, so my ranking was not very good.”

"But this also has an advantage. Although Huang Kang can only participate in the imperial examination once and enter the examination room once, he is very talented and good at it. This time he is helping people answer papers in the examination room, and next time he can solve the 'stolen questions'. Write out the answer sheet, let the client memorize it in advance, and get on the list—so Gao Jun and Hu Anju, your papers are actually answered by Huang Kang, right?"

One was four years ago, the other was one year ago. Huang Kang himself had to take part in the exam four years ago. After solving the stolen problems, the organization sold them to Hu Anju, so both of them had excellent luck in the exam and were on the list.

"You have done the same thing many times, and you are proficient in the way. You can also use the same person many times. By the way, you can hold the opponent's handle for future use. You play tricks carefully, and the division of labor is clear. Take the account and launder the money. , Geng Yuanzhong will handle it, select people, persuade them to join the game, and He Yiming will handle it. After that, whoever has a problem with the channel will solve it by himself..."

Ye Baiting looked at He Yiming: "Huang Kang is going to die because he is greedy, and the lion opened his mouth, which is far beyond your expectations. If you don't solve it, it will be a hidden danger; Yu Wenzhang is going to die because he doesn't know good from bad, and you have already handed over the olive branch." He even threatened to report on you. People who cannot be teammates are enemies and even more hidden dangers. Of course, they must be resolved; Zhang You does not conform to your selection rules. If you are a problem person, he will Out of stock, unqualified, customer, he is not strict with his mouth, and he doesn't have the smooth and low-key skills needed to be an official. He is also unqualified, but he knows your secrets, and even threatens you, even though he is Geng Yuanzhong. Relatives, but if you reach out to your territory, you have to solve it—”

"As for why it was on the day when the ranking was released, of course you lied to him. The paper you asked someone to do for him is not a paper of talent that is guaranteed to be successful at all. What is more logical than 'jumping off the building in despair after failing the ranking' what about?"

"All your plans, the complexity, are all to create 'accidents', so that you can escape suspicion, you are not afraid of trouble, as long as you can stay alone—"

Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes: "Money, career, life and death, all your capital to live and live are under threat, this is your motive!"

Don't you want motivation?Okay, I gave it, you can quibble one more and show me!
