Chapter 57 Cui Lue's Imprisonment
Cui Lue's heart was already in a mess, but on the surface he was still very calm and composed, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
"So what happened to Guard Zhan and Guard Bai? It's such an exaggeration to escape from the inn." Cui Lue looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with a smile and said, of course, he also gave Jiang Zuimo a look.
I made a mistake, I actually ignored this little girl, otherwise...
When Cui Lue thought of this, he secretly hated him. If his eyes could kill, Jiang Zuimo would have been stabbed to death by him.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Cui Lue and didn't speak, but Bai Yutang sneered and said, "Why did we escape from the inn, Master Cui doesn't know?"
Cui Lue looked surprised, and said innocently: "How does this officer know? Could it be... ah, Mr. Bao, I was assassinated by an assassin last night, and I have been looking for an assassin today. Could it be that Zhanwei and Baiwei misunderstood me?" ..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was understood by everyone here - maybe Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were too sensitive and misunderstood, anyway, he has nothing wrong with it.
Jiang Zuimo looked calm, not angry because of Cui Lue's words, and said to Bao Zheng: "If there is a misunderstanding, just grab it and ask."
After saying this, Jiang Zuimo suddenly jumped high and high, and then directly picked up three clouds chasing the moon in the air-there is such a benefit here, the CD of lightness work is equal to no, that is to say, as long as you have strength If the value is enough, you can use light work uninterrupted without any problems at all.After her level up, her internal strength has also increased, and her vigor and internal strength have been combined into one. The distance she can fly has also increased a lot compared to before. She looks so chic and handsome.
Bao Zheng was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Zuimo jumping up suddenly, turned to look at Zhan Zhao and asked, "Miss Jiang, this is..."
Zhan Zhao knew a little about Jiang Zuimo, knowing that she must have seen something, or something, so he cupped his hands and said to Bao Zheng, "My lord, Miss Jiang must have seen something, or... to arrest someone. Yes. She has a sense of proportion, we just wait here for her to come back."
Bao Zheng nodded doubtfully.
He didn't know much about Jiang Zuimo, so he didn't know if she was good or not, but since Zhan Weiwei said she was good, then it should be considered good.
Although Zhan Zhao's trust in Jiang Zuimo is blind, it has its own reasons.Sure enough, after a while, Jiang Zuimo came back with a group of people.
Bao Zheng was stunned, pointing to these people and asked: "This is..."
These people were all wearing official leather official hats and official boots, and they looked like officials from the government, but they all held bows and crossbows in their hands, as well as loaded crossbow arrows, and an ominous blue light was shining on the tip of the crossbow arrows.
Gongsun Ce knew what it was after just one glance, and reported to Bao Zhenghui with a bad expression: "My lord, these crossbow bolts are all coated with poison, and judging from the situation, the poison can be seen to seal the throat with blood."
Bao Zheng nodded when he heard the words, looked at Cui Lue with a serious expression: "Master Cui, what is your explanation for this matter?"
Cui Lue scolded his mother in his heart, but on the surface he was full of sincerity and fear, and immediately knelt down to express his opinion: "My lord, please calm down, I am just sending people to track down the assassin."
"Assassin?" Bao Zheng asked suspiciously, "Where is the assassin?"
Cui Lue said annoyedly: "It is precisely because I don't know where it is, so I am investigating..."
Jiang Zuimo said loudly: "Lord Bao, don't listen to his nonsense!" As she spoke, she kicked the one in front: "Say, who are you chasing and killing?"
"Chasing and killing a man in white and a man in blue." This man has obviously been taught a lesson, and he speaks very honestly, without concealing anything, "Master Cui said, as long as you see these two people, you will shoot them immediately. No report required."
Bao Zheng said coldly: "The imperial envoy doesn't know, but you assassins wear the same clothes as Zhan Weiwei and Bai Weiwei, or are you guys going to ask for help when you see someone wearing white clothes and blue clothes?" Kill? What if it’s an ordinary person? Can’t you kill him wearing blue and white?”
Cui Lue: "..." He kept breaking out in cold sweat, his mouth was wriggling, but he couldn't say anything.
what to do?Why is his subordinate so soft, he just said that!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Bao Zheng's tone became colder: "Master Cui, don't you want to give the imperial envoy an explanation?"
Cui Lue forced a smile: "My lord, the officer only saw one man in blue and one in white, so he could only order his men to catch them. These assassins assassinated the court officials, You are insane, that's why the subordinate directly issued such an order. It may seem a bit cruel, but Mr. Bao, the so-called heavy codes are used in troubled times, if something really happened to the subordinate, wouldn't the whole Qingzhou be in chaos?"
Bao Zheng snorted coldly: "Let's talk about this matter slowly. Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long Zhao Hu!"
"Subordinates are here!"
"Take Cui Lue into custody and go to the government office to inquire about the case!"
"Yes!"
The news that Bao Zheng was going to interrogate Cui Lue quickly spread throughout Qingzhou City, and many people were ready to watch the excitement.
For the poor people, Cui Lue was definitely not a good official, because he made them eat worms, and they didn't see a dime of the disaster relief money allocated by the court.
But for ordinary wealthy people, Cui Lue was a good official. He kept prices from skyrocketing and allowed them to buy relatively cheap supplies.
Such a contradictory person will now be judged!
Looking at the people gathered outside the government office, Bao Zheng was also very worried: "Why are there so many people?"
Gongsun Ce said: "My lord, they are all common people who heard that Cui Lue will be interrogated and want to come to listen. But there are indeed too many people. My lord, do you want to evacuate the crowd?"
Bao Zheng shook his head: "They are also the sufferers who have been victimized. It is understandable to want to know Cui Lue's ending. There is no need. By the way, how did Zhan Wei find their evidence?"
Gongsun Ce said: "Haven't come back yet, but they have just left, it should take a long time."
Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I was too anxious, mainly because this case involved too much, the money His Majesty sowed to appease the people of Qingzhou..."
Gongsun Ce: "Furthermore, Taishi Pang is also acting as a hindrance."
In fact, their itinerary with Zhan Zhao should not be too different, especially Zhan Zhao was still delayed for a while in the Daming Mansion. Normally, he should be able to catch up in a day or two, but because Grand Master Pang was in the capital, Bao Zheng He and Gongsun Ce almost failed to get out of Kaifeng, and in the end the Eight Wise Kings took out the golden mace bestowed by the former emperor as a guarantee, so that Bao Zheng was able to invite Shengming to go out to investigate the case.
Of course, he also issued a military order. If Cui Lue's embezzlement of disaster funds cannot be found out this time, then Bao Zheng will take the blame and resign, and will no longer be the governor of Kaifeng.
Grand Master Pang had waited a long time for this opportunity, so even though Renzong didn't want Bao Zheng to issue this military order, he still acquiesced under the pressure of Grand Master Pang.
It's just that their departure time was delayed for a long time. After receiving the news from Zhan Zhao, Bao Zheng ordered the imperial guards to speed up their pace. He didn't study the disaster situation on the road in detail. At that time, another impulse directly detained Cui Lue. Now interrogating Cui Lue, the evidence is still not enough, so I can only hope that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang can bring back some decisive evidence this time.
Otherwise, although the emperor would not really ask him to resign, once the position of Kaifeng Mansion is given up, Grand Master Pang will definitely not let him go back easily.
Thinking of this, Bao Zheng sighed, and turned around to go back to the table to do something, when he saw Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and the little girl whom he just met today had returned with a lot of things.
Bao Zheng: "..."
He glanced at Gongsun Ce, who also had a confused expression on his face.
So what, is the evidence so easy to find now?How long has it been since I went out? Is it okay to return with such a full load without even an hour?
Zhan Zhao felt quite guilty: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bao, we only found such a part of the materials. Compared with Cui Lue's case, these are not complete."
Bao Zheng didn't speak, he and Gongsun Ce went through all the evidence brought by Zhan Zhao and the others before he sighed, "It's enough. These evidences are enough for Cui Lue to die three times."
Cui Lue never expected Zhan Zhao and the others to be so efficient when he was in prison!
He has been in Qingzhou for a while, and the policy of carrots and sticks has attracted some people. So many people from outside have come here, the main reason is that he asked people to release the news that he was arrested in order to disrupt the situation.
Now someone brought him big fish and meat, let him eat and drink well, the prison cell is also clean and tidy, the hay inside still smells like the sun, Cui Lue's life is not worse than outside.
After eating a bite of meat and a drink of wine, Cui Lue said comfortably, "Hey, how's the situation outside?"
The person who poured wine for him said: "According to your lord's order, people have already sent people to go outside to tell all the merchants about this matter. Now there is chaos outside the government office, and some people are starting to give you Wanmin umbrellas."
Cui slightly smiled: "Yes, as long as he can't find evidence of my embezzlement, he won't be able to convict me at that time, but when the time comes..."
His other evidence of accepting bribes may not be preserved. Bao Zheng has already arrested him after making such a big noise. If he doesn't do something, then he will be in vain.
It is estimated that the official position cannot be kept, but the life cannot be lost.As long as his life is still alive, he once gave Grand Master Pang so much money, a comeback is just around the corner.And he didn't bring all the money with him, even if he couldn't be an official for a short time, he could still go into business.
In short, his life after that will not be too bad.
It's this short prison sentence... Cui Lue sighed.Although he is not considered spoiled, but he has been an official for such a long time, where has he suffered so much?
Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce... Cui Lue squinted his eyes while thinking about these names in his heart.
Sooner or later, he will have to settle this account!
Oh, by the way, there is also that stinky girl who arrested his subordinates and made his plan completely bankrupt. If it wasn't for her, even if Bao Zheng doubts himself now, he still doesn't have enough evidence to arrest him .
This smelly girl, one day, he will make her regret it!
Angrily took a few mouthfuls of food, Cui Lue didn't feel that he was full when he heard movement outside the cell.
Chao Mahan came with a group of officials from Kaifeng Mansion, looked at Cui Lue's food and smiled: "Unexpectedly, although Qingzhou City experienced a plague of locusts and no crops were harvested, the treatment in the cells is still quite good, which is better than ours in Kaifeng. The government is strong."
The food in Kaifeng Mansion is very famous. There is no better prison food in the entire Song Dynasty than in Kaifeng Mansion. Many people who have lived in Kaifeng Mansion have been arrested in other places, and they will ask about it. Can he be transferred to Kaifeng Mansion to serve his sentence?
But now Cui Lue's food is actually better than that of Kaifeng Mansion, even better than theirs, what Chao Mahan said is of course not a compliment, but a sarcasm.
Cui Lue was very calm, put down the bowls and chopsticks and said: "I didn't know these people before, and only got in touch with them after they came to Qingzhou for disaster relief. This time I heard that I was imprisoned by Mr. Bao, so these people came to help The official delivered the meal, and asked what happened by the way."
This answer was very tactful. While showing his good popularity, he said that he did not do anything to make the people of Qingzhou angry, and they would even give him food, while at the same time insinuating that Bao Zheng detained him casually, which was unreasonable.
Chao Mahan also has experience with this kind of people - if you don't talk to him, you will get it.
They said directly: "Master Cui, please come with us, Master Bao is about to go to court for questioning."
"So what happened to Guard Zhan and Guard Bai? It's such an exaggeration to escape from the inn." Cui Lue looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with a smile and said, of course, he also gave Jiang Zuimo a look.
I made a mistake, I actually ignored this little girl, otherwise...
