Chapter 2767

When Li Tai said this, Mu Yuanzuo understood what he meant. Generally speaking, he focused on the overall situation and must not cause turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River. It is through this relatively mild way to punish and warn the Jiangnan gentry.

Don't think that after such a big incident, you will be safe and sound, without cutting any flesh or bleeding, how can you remember the lesson of this time?

The most important thing is to maintain a certain degree, so as to make those Jiangnan gentry feel heartbroken, but not to resist and take risks.

However, for officials like Mu Yuanzuo who came from a small background and rose to high positions step by step, it shouldn't be too simple...

"Wei Chen understands what His Highness means, and when he turns back, he will ask Shen Wei to be interrogated here, and ask him to write a confession, and then take the confession to door-to-door to warn, whoever repents sincerely, then forget the past and write it off. If anyone stubbornly denies it and is lucky, then it will be done in a business-like manner, and they will be detained in the Suzhou government first."

Li Tai clapped his palms and sighed secretly: "That's exactly what it should be! Mu Inspector Mu's clever changes won my heart!"

Mu Yuanzuo was naturally happy when he received the praise, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is over-reputed, and my humble minister is dull. If it weren't for His Highness's dedication to coaching and instructing, I am afraid that he is blindly tolerant and indulgent, and cannot be punished and deterred. I am afraid that he will not be able to learn a lesson later." Be in awe and be responsible.”

After the two flattered each other, Mu Yuanzuo left and started to interrogate Shen Wei.

In fact, there is nothing to be judged for a long time. The naval prison is not a good place. Shen Wei assassinated Fang Jun and went to prison. He must suffer a lot of torture. However, according to Li Tai's intention, it is certain that he will confess a few more accomplices or accomplices, so he will dig deeper, expand the area of ​​suspects, and implicate as many families as possible.

Doing so will not only continue to amass money, but will also put everyone in the Jiangnan gentry at risk. The confessions and transcripts are all real. Who can be put to death.

In other words, as long as I finish this matter by myself, and then hand over the confession transcript to Fang Jun or even the prince, it will be a great achievement.

It is equivalent to choosing a sharp blade for the heads of all the Jiangnan gentry. If you are well-behaved and sensible, everything will be safe, but if you have a second heart, if the sharp blade falls, your head will fall and your family will suffer...

It can be regarded as the lifeblood of the Jiangnan gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not to mention how positive this is for the imperial court's governance of the south of the Yangtze River, but as long as this meritorious service is in hand, I will be regarded as an important member of the prince's command. How can I lose myself?

Taking a step back, even if I present this confession transcript in front of His Majesty now, it will be just around the corner for me to enter the central government directly after the expiration of my term as governor of Suzhou.

It can be said that one arrow kills two birds with one stone.

Of course, the most unlucky ones would be the Jiangnan gentry, but then again, even if this resentment could not dissipate, it would still be a grievance and a debtor, and it would be to find Wu Xingshen's trouble...

When Mu Yuanzuo returned to the Suzhou government office, he immediately brought Shen Wei who was in prison to the court.

I was imprisoned in the Naval Prison before, after several interrogations, at first Shen Wei was pretty tough, and he said with a stiff neck that the worst thing would be death, give me a good time.But the sailors loved Fang Jun the most, and now that the murderer who assassinated Fang Jun was right in front of him, how could he give him a good time?

All kinds of torture took turns, and every few rounds, Shen Wei collapsed.The Shen family has always acted arrogantly, and Shen Wei is even more rampant in the countryside. He has eight, if not ten, lives in his hands. Killing a person is almost like killing a chicken.

But how can one's own life be compared with that of others?

It's fun when killing others, but when it's my turn to die, I can't bear it.Especially when he suffered several severe tortures in turn, he understood the true meaning of the saying "the most terrible thing in the world is not death", and the despair of living but not dying was even more devastating.

Later, it was basically the soldiers of the navy who asked him what he would say...

Now being transferred to the Suzhou government office, Mu Yuanzuo ordered someone to bring Shen Wei to the main hall, intending to serve him with a severe punishment, and then carefully induce him to confess to several families with close contacts, so he did not shy away from the officials in the government office. Many people were watching in the hall.

As a result, Mu Yuanzuo was a little dumbfounded as soon as he came up.

Looking at Shen Wei, who was almost out of shape, Mu Yuanzuo felt chills in his heart. What kind of torture did he have to endure to torture a tall man of seven feet to this extent?The tendons in the hands and feet have already been broken, and the whole person is lying in the hall limply, without a single piece of clothing on his body, and almost no piece of skin is intact. Even if he wants to be tortured again, he doesn't know where to start ...

The rest of the officials standing on both sides of the hall also looked at each other, fighting with each other.

Mu Yuanzuo ordered the yamen servant to come forward and ask, Shen Wei was already in a state of trance, his will completely collapsed, he asked what to say, he didn't even care if there were those things, as long as you asked, he would nod, there was no resistance in his subconscious mind Idea, just want to die quickly.

The yamen servant grabbed Shen Wei's eyelids to prevent him from fainting, and asked, "Who else is planning with you to assassinate the Duke of Yue?"

Shen Wei didn't speak.

The yamen servant asked again: "Is it because there are too many people, and you can't tell for a while?"

"Yes……"

"Well, let me ask you, think about it before answering, is there any Zhang family?"

"Have."

"Is there any Zhu family?"

"Have."

"Is there a royal family?"

"Have."

"Is there any eldest grandson's family?"

"Have."

……

No matter how you ask, Shen Wei only has one word: "Yes."

His will has already collapsed, and he admits whatever he asks. He just wants to quickly end this endless torture and give him a good knife, so he doesn't even consider whether he will involve innocent people or betray his allies.

But this made all the officials in the hall stop listening, but they all looked at each other in shock and trembling with fear.

Anyone who can enter the Suzhou government office is basically the son of a powerful family from the south of the Yangtze River. Now, after listening to Shen Wei's nonsense, and looking at Mu Yuanzuo, who is sitting at the head of the old god, he still doesn't understand. what is going on?

If it is serious, this kind of interrogation method is actually illegal. After all, everyone can see that Shen Wei is in a state of collapse and trance, and his words are not accurate at all.But the problem is that if Mu Yuanzuo doesn't care about it, directly seals up the confession transcript and sends it to Chang'an quickly, and presents it to His Majesty Li Er's desk, who knows whether His Majesty Li Er will care about certain illegalities in the process at that time details?

It is really impossible to kill all the people in the statement according to the statement, but what if His Majesty Li Er wants to make an example of others?

Kill a chicken, and a group of monkeys must be frightened.

But the question is... who will be the chicken that gets killed?

No one wants to be that chicken!

But as long as one's own name is included in the statement, in theory, anyone can become the chicken that will be slaughtered...

Mu Yuanzuo ordered someone to lift Shen Wei's hand, dipped his own blood stains on the confession transcript, and stamped his fingerprints, then checked it carefully, sealed it in a thick envelope, and put it in his arms , looked around the crowd and said: "Take Shen Wei down, I will send this confession transcript to the King of Wei. After asking His Royal Highness King Wei to examine it, he will send it to Chang'an immediately and submit it to His Majesty's desk. I implore His Majesty to accept it." Decision. Don't take it lightly, you will never allow the assassination to happen again, otherwise not only will the black yarn on my head be hard to protect, but you will also be widely implicated."

A group of officials were trembling, and they claimed to be.

When Mu Yuanzuo withdrew from the court and walked out of the government office, under the guard of soldiers and government officials, he boarded a carriage and went to the residence of the king of Wei. These officials immediately put aside their official duties and asked their chief officials for leave, and then filed out of the Suzhou mansion. Ya, quickly ran to their respective homes.

This kind of information must be sent to the family as soon as possible, so that the family head and clan elders can quickly discuss the countermeasures. Fortunately, this confession transcript will be sent to the king of Wei first, and then sent to Chang'an after inspection. Enough room to maneuver...

……

In a beautiful and luxurious manor in the south of Suzhou City, a large group of elderly people gathered together. Among them were the old men with white hair and childlike face, and some middle-aged literati with broad robes and broad belts, but the youngest was also around forty. Be well behaved.

They are all the leaders of the Jiangnan gentry.
