Chapter 540 Arrest
The Beizhen Fushiyaya, this should be the place that imperial officials most reluctant to mention in the entire capital. They are even reluctant to listen.
During the seven years when Jiang Xia took charge of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei captured many corrupt officials, and every corrupt official who was taken down was confiscated at the least, and the worst was beheaded and displayed in public. Whether he was a member of the Jiang clan or any other noble family, Jiang Xia had no means of any means.
During the seven years that Jiang Xia was in power, he greatly improved the treatment of officials, but at the same time he also raised the supervision of officials to the highest level.
All provinces, prefectures and counties have set up two Jinyiwei yamen, one light and one dark. In the open office, it is used to accept complaints from the people. In the secret office, it is used to inquire about information or track down officials with problems at any time.
If we evaluate the administration of the Ming Dynasty in the past seven years, then its level of purity should be the highest among the Ming Dynasty.
Jiang Xia sat in Zhong Bin's study room of the North Fushi Department, and soon Zhong Bin entered the study room.
Jiang Xia looked at Zhong Bin, and Zhong Bin said, "I've called it."
"You were tortured?" Jiang Xia asked suspiciously.
"No." Zhong Bin answered simply, but after he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then added, "Introduce her torture instruments."
"What did she say?" Jiang Xia asked.
"It's similar to what you told me before." Zhong Bin said.
Jiang Xia nodded. The "she" he and Zhong Bin mentioned was the madam of Yuezuilou. With the confession of the madam of Yuezuilou, and Jiang Xia himself was the person who personally experienced conflicts between Cui Guagua and the four sisters of the Ma family yesterday, so this matter is basically inseparable from Cui Guagua.
Jiang Xia sighed long and said, "Jong Bin, do you see that Cui Zhengyi has intervened in this matter."
Zhong Bin nodded and said, "That's right."
Jiang Xia pondered for a while and Cui Zhengyi not only intervened, but also intervened very much. If the corpse of the two sisters of the Ma family could not be found, it was normal. But even the small flag of the Five City Military and Ma Si could not be found, it must have been Cui Zhengyi's work.
Jiang Xia didn't believe it. In addition to Cui Zhengyi, there were people in the Cui family who dared to issue orders to attack officials.
With the madam's confession, the next step should be to arrest Cui Guagua and go to the Beizhen Fushi Department to inquire. If he doesn't admit it, he has to continue to find evidence. If he admits it, Cui Guagua will be convicted immediately.
Some people may say that since this is the case, the fool knows that he will not admit it if he beats him to death.
Of course not.
From ancient times to the present, whether it is the yamen, the Jinyiwei, or the police, they have many skills to interrogate prisoners, some of which are in questioning, and some are mentally stressed.
There are very few people who can truly interrogate the next sentence without saying anything...
Jiang Xia took a breath slightly, raised her head and said firmly: "Let's go, go to Cui Mansion to bring Cui Guagua here to ask questions. In addition, you should have the list of guards in Cui Mansion, right? Get one, and every guard must be taken to the Beizhen Fushi."
"Yeah, okay." Zhong Bin said.
In order to take care of Cui Zhengyi's face, Jiang Xia finally chose to let the Jinyiwei come to Cui's mansion in casual clothes.
A Jinyiwei Qianhu went to knock on the gate of Cui Mansion in person, and the doorman opened the door. Qianhu showed off his Jinyiwei's identity plate, and Cui Mansion fully opened the door.
Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin walked into Cui Mansion with people, and the butler Fu Bo immediately came up. When Fu Bo saw that Jiang Xia had actually come in person, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, he immediately saluted Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin with a smile on his face and said, "The butler of the little man, the Cui Mansion, Wangfu, please see the Lord of the Assistant State and the Commander."
After the ceremony, Fu Bo asked, "Two sirs, are you here to come to the mansion today?"
Jiang Xia glanced at Zhong Bin and signaled him to answer.
Zhong Bin said sternly: "Cui Guagua in your house is suspected of forcing the robbery of a civilian girl and taking human life aside. We come to arrest him according to the rules and ask about the case."
"Forcibly rob a girl from a civilian? I'm slandering with human life?" Fu Bo showed a very surprised expression on his face, and then quickly said, "Mr. Zhong, where do you start? Our eldest son comes from a famous family and is pure by nature. He has never killed a single one at home, so how can he take human life away?"
"Is it pure by nature that you just say?" Zhong Bin looked at Fu Bo coldly and asked.
Fu Bo was so arrogant that he could no longer find any words to deal with him. He turned to Jiang Xia and shouted: "Sir, this..."
"Where is your master?" Jiang Xia asked.
Fu Bo said: "The master came back from the morning court and went to the old house outside the city. He said he was going to pick up a few treasures from the family to use as a dowry for the lady when she got married."
Fuber mentioned this matter specifically, hoping that Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin would be afraid of it. But Jiang Xia frowned after hearing this. Zhong Bin took out a list from his arms and handed it to Fuber and said, "Do you see if this is the list of guards in your mansion? Is there anything missing?"
Fu Bo took it and saw a total of 150 names, which were indeed one or two. I had heard that the Jinyiwei was well-informed, and it was the first time Fu Bo felt this intuitively.
After reading it, Fu Bo said, "There is no omission, it's just that some people escorted the master and followed him to the old house outside the city."
"Go to the old house?" Zhong Bin sneered, turned his head to look at Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia nodded slightly, and Zhong Bin immediately waved his hand and said, "Come on, take him away first!"
Several Jinyiwei rushed up immediately and cut Fu Bo's hands behind him. Fu Bo was shocked and immediately shouted: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Lord Fu Guo, my master and you are an official in the same court. Do you really not give me any face?"
Jiang Xia didn't say anything and let the Jinyiwei take Fu Bo away.
After a while, two Jinyiwei ran out, one of them covered his cheek and said, "Sir, the suspect refused to follow me. There was also a woman who claimed to be the future queen who stopped us and refused to let us enter the house. She even slapped me."
Zhong Bin nodded and turned his head to look at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look together."
When I arrived at the backyard, Cui Ziwei's boudoir door. I heard Cui Ziwei say, "Before my father comes back, no one of you is allowed to take my elder brother away. I warn you, my boudoir here, I have already left the engagement with the emperor. If you dare to enter..."
"I will tell you too, if you don't let go now, I will immediately enter the palace to request an order and abolish the previously announced engagement." Jiang Xia walked over from a group of Jinyiwei and looked at Cui Ziwei indifferently.
Cui Ziwei looked at Jiang Xia, and a trace of nervousness flashed in her eyes.
