Chapter 41: Hysteria
In the prison of the Criminal Department, Weng Junbo opened his eyes.
Then he was swallowed up by pain everywhere in his body.
"It hurts me~"
After moaning a few times, Weng Junbo coughed violently, causing blood to flow from his nose. His appearance was as miserable as a ghost.
Except for Shao Zhi, the other three people in the cell, including Chen Yunfu, all looked uncomfortable.
"Weng Junbo."
Shao Zhi spoke, his voice as cold as ice: "It's meaningless to resist stubbornly. If you do it, you won't have to suffer this sin anymore."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Weng Junbo smiled miserably and said, "It's all under the instigation of Zhejiang Left Political Councilor Yu Jinlu."
Chen Yunfu hurriedly wrote down the name, thinking to himself that it seemed like this severe punishment was indeed useful, so wouldn't Weng Junbo be the one to do it?
After pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, you have the first one to be confessed. Are you still worried that you won’t be able to catch all the suspects bit by bit?
"Yu Jinlu?"
Shao Zhi, who was on top of the case, snorted coldly, and then said angrily: "Now that things have happened, you still want to criticize and frame Zhongliang?"
Yu Wenxin, who was sitting next to Shao Zhi, also said: "Before I came to Beijing with the order, Yu Fantai had been promoted to the right chief minister of Zhejiang. Yu Fantai had been an official in Zhejiang for many years, and his official reputation was always upright and upright. How do you want to throw a tantrum?
Dirty water, you should choose a suitable person."
"That's right." Ru Taisu also added: "When I was a left-wing political advisor in Zhejiang, Yu Gong was a right-wing political advisor. We have worked together for several years. Yu Gong is an upright and honest man. How can he be a lawless person like you?"
It can be framed."
"Since several of the superior officials consider him a good deed by Yu Jinlu, I have nothing to say to you."
Weng Junbo laughed miserably, raised his neck with great effort and said: "Come, please behead me."
"Bang!"
Shao Zhi suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "Weng Junbo!"
"Do you know that just last month, a total of seventeen officials, grain chiefs, and merchants died in Zhejiang? Just the day after you were arrested last year, your brother was assassinated and drowned in the Qiantang River.
middle!
Why do so many people die unjustly for no apparent reason? It’s all because of you!
If you still don't reveal the person behind this, more innocent people will continue to die in vain."
"I did it, you just don't believe it." Weng Junbo said noncommittally.
"Let's assume that Yu Jinlu is really a person who breaks the law. He is just the right chief minister of Zhejiang. How can he be able to pass the number of officials in the Department of Household Affairs? Who else is behind you!"
Weng Junbo raised his eyelids and remained silent.
Seeing that Weng Junbo was determined not to explain the problem, Shao Zhi finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.
"Someone is coming!"
Several jailers pushed open the door and walked in.
"Continue the torture!"
Hearing the word "torture", Weng Junbo's face showed some fear, but he still bit his cheek and did not beg for mercy.
Shao Zhi took the lead and walked out, and Chen Yunfu and the other three quickly followed.
It's hard to watch even the thought of torture, but it's easier not to look at it.
Outside the cell, the four people bumped into each other.
Shao Zhi said in a hoarse voice: "Guys, can Weng Junbo's words be trusted?"
After being tortured for more than ten days, Weng Junbo finally opened his mouth and confessed that Yu Jinlu, the envoy to the right of Zhejiang, was not sure.
It has been almost two years since Weng Junbo's case, and the first big fish was finally confessed after days of torture. Although in their hearts, Shao Zhi and the others believed that Yu Jinlu could not do such a thing.
Come, but why not also have the idea of checking it out.
What if it really is.
The three of them looked at each other and were about to express their opinions, but Chen Yunfu cautiously said: "Three ministers, I have something to say."
"Huh?" Shao Zhi frowned when he heard Chen Yunfu speak.
What kind of case is this? How could it be Chen Yunfu's turn to interrupt with a little help?
However, although Shao Zhi held it in, Yu Wenxin on the side was not in such a good mood and directly scolded him.
"I'm just a small person. I'm just here to write paperwork. It's your turn to speak. Please get out of here!"
Weng Junbo's case put too much pressure on the three of them. If they didn't handle it well, they would be beheaded, so they naturally had very bad tempers.
Fortunately, Shao Zhihu said something.
"Say it."
"yes."
Chen Yunfu glanced at Yu Wenxin and said: "Three court officials, Weng Junbo seemed to be unconscious when he confessed just now. The original words he said were, Zhejiang Zuo Shenzhen Yu Jinlu."
The three of them were stunned, and Shao Zhi suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Yes! He is talking about Yu Jinlu, the Zhejiang Left Councilor, and Yu Gong was promoted from the Right Councilor to succeed Ru Yushi at the end of last year. And this Weng Junbo was arrested at the beginning of last year.
, how did he know that Mr. Yu became a leftist political activist!"
Weng Junbo had been tortured for days, and his consciousness had long been blurred. When he was drowsy, he was woken up by a basin of cold water. What he said was completely casual, and he didn't have time to think about it.
When he was arrested last year, Yu Jinlu was still participating in right-wing politics. What he wanted to say, and what he should have said, was right-wing political participation, not left-wing political participation.
Someone has been tipping off Weng Junbo!
Shao Zhi couldn't wait any longer and walked into the cell. Chen Yunfu and the others quickly followed.
"Tell me, who tipped you off!" Shao Zhi unfolded the interrogation evidence in front of Weng Junbo and shouted angrily: "How did you know that Mr. Yu became a political advisor to the left?"
Weng Junbo was stunned at first, and then his expression suddenly changed. Then he forced himself to regain his composure, pretending to be stupid and said, "Is there any? I don't remember, ah, maybe I said it wrong."
"You still dare to speak harshly and say, who are your accomplices in the Ministry of Punishment!"
"I don't understand!"
Weng Junbo is a dead pig anyway and is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He will not admit anything. Shao Zhizhi stomps his feet and goes crazy. He grabs Weng Junbo's lapel and spits: "You bastard, how many deaths do you have to kill before you are satisfied? Why don't you?"
Say, why!”
As the case remains unsolved, the lives of the entire Shao family hang in the balance.
This is the thin line between hell and heaven. If you succeed, you will be promoted and make a fortune; if you fail, your whole family will suffer.
At this moment, Shao Zhi didn't care about getting promoted or making a fortune, he just wanted to save the lives of his family.
"Shilang Shao, calm down, calm down."
Ru Taisu tried to persuade her, but Shao Zhi threw her away and roared hysterically.
"No matter how you tell me to calm down, the lives of my whole family are at stake."
Seeing Shao Zhi being so crazy and losing his temper, Chen Yunfu sighed inwardly, stepped forward and held Shao Zhi's wrist, and at the same time turned to look at Weng Junbo and said in a deep voice.
"Although you are in prison, there are people who are informing you all the time, so you know the situation in the outside world very well. I think there is a reason why you don't tell me.
You kept silent for the sake of your family, right? The imperial court and the Zhejiang authorities have not found your family to this day, so who has it?"
Since the wind from the outside world can reach Weng Junbo, everything can be easily explained.
Weng Junbo's family was arrested and hid, and Weng Junbo also knew about this. Someone was always warning Weng Junbo in prison.
Weng Junbo just laughed miserably and remained silent.
Shao Zhi let go of his hand dejectedly.
Yes, he cares about the lives of the whole family, and Weng Junbo naturally cares about the lives of the whole family too.
This case is unsolvable.
Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in Shao Zhi's eyes.
"Come here, go and ask Master Hu to come over."
Several jailers were stunned, with frightened expressions on their faces.
Ru Taisu and Yu Wenxin even advised each other: "No, absolutely no."
Weng Junbo, who was on the torture rack, finally changed his face, his eyes widened and trembling.
