Chapter 213 Confession
Kang Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment, and tried to calm down: "What is something that Master Tan doesn't know, I don't understand what Miss Chu is talking about?"
"Then let me remind Mr. Kang."
Chu Nanzhi said slowly: "Let's talk about the family whose daughter just died in the west of the city."
"West of the city?"
Kang Mingyuan shook his body, his expression seemed particularly unnatural: "What does that have to do with me?"
Chu Nanzhi blinked angrily, and continued to gesture to the executioner. Kang Mingyuan was so frightened that he quickly stopped: "Don't stop, I'll recruit."
"Kang Mingyuan, I know that until now you still have some fluke mentality, thinking that these mistakes you made are not enough to kill you, at most you will be dismissed from office and exiled. You have long been used to this kind of tricks, Mr. Kang thinks Am i right?"
Chu Nanzhi looked sharply at him.
Kang Mingyuan remained silent and did not answer.
"That's the default."
Chu Nanzhi said with a smile: "You are pocketing your own money and earning a lot of money in Haikang County. Every year, you will naturally want to honor those bosses in your county. They took bribes, so naturally they want to do everything possible to protect you.
But you forgot one thing. From now on, the newly appointed Chief of the Sixth County, Eastern Defense Commander Lin Jinxiao, will restrain you from now on. In a word, he was beheaded in the city. Such a cruel person, do you think he can let you go? "
Paused, she continued casually:
"Today he has sent people to arrest and seal up salt smugglers in the county, looking for evidence of your crimes. At most, after evening, new crimes about you will be sent to the county government one after another.
Now that you are down, the people who were oppressed by you in the past will definitely come to seek justice. How dare you take a fluke mentality for the unspeakable crimes, and you don’t need to report it to His Majesty. It’s possible that Lin Jinxiao will kill you first with the Son of Heaven Sword in Lin Jinxiao’s hand. No one dares to cry out for you. "
Hearing that, Kang Mingyuan's face gradually darkened, and his body trembling suddenly fell down.
The yamen servants helped him up and sat up again. He was in a trance, and he was obviously at a loss.
Then Chu Nanzhi's voice became softer, and he said earnestly: "Speak, you have committed a heinous crime and you are doomed to die. If you don't want to ransack your home and destroy your family, then you can tell me honestly, as long as you tell the truth about the evil deeds you have committed these years. , I will intercede for you and protect your family, Mr. Hu, what do you think?"
Hu Maoxi nodded slowly after hearing this: "The disaster is not as serious as your wife and children. If you find out that no one in your family is in collusion with you, you will be forgiven. I am willing to go to the net with Mr. Lin to make a difference. Only the house will not be destroyed."
"My family, my wife and children are all in my hometown, and I don't know what I did in Haikang County. I beg all the adults to forgive me, and ask Your Majesty to forgive the whole family."
Kang Mingyuan's eyes began to show sincerity, and in the blink of an eye, there was endless desolation.
After hearing Chu Nanzhi's words, he also gradually realized that the weather in Funing County was about to change, and now this boss's disposition is completely different from that of the senior officials in the county.
What he has done these years is obvious to all, and it is inevitable that his family will be wiped out.
Although the original wife in my hometown does not please me, she has been taking care of the elderly and raising children for me in my hometown all these years.
The few concubines in the mansion are nothing but ungrateful people, and today the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, I am afraid they have already packed up their things and fled around.
Gritting his teeth, Kang Mingyuan said firmly, "As long as you two do what you say, I am willing to confess everything today and answer any questions."
“I don’t dare to say that I will be able to achieve my wish, but I will try my best.”
Chu Nanzhi made a pertinent promise.
"Miss Chu is a kind-hearted person. She dared to take risks alone and risk the world's disgrace to call for grievances for Sun Wuji. Just because of this, I can trust you."
Kang Mingyuan no longer kept it hidden, and said frankly: "Yes, in the case of Zhu Yue, I did know some secrets and helped to conceal some things. On the eve of the incident, Qi Dongqiang, the son of Qi Luan, heard that Zhang Dahu in the west of the city The family has a beautiful daughter, so this **** took someone to Zhang's house to **** that girl, and it so happened that Zhu Yue mysteriously disappeared the next day."
Pausing for a moment, he faced the two with a face of shame, and continued with dull eyes: "Everyone knows the rumors in the county. Zhu Yue is best to fight against injustices on weekdays. The yamen is at Dianmao, but he didn’t return to the yamen until noon that day, Master Tan was worried that Zhu Yue had encountered Qi Dong’s crimes, so he reminded his subordinates and sent someone to investigate.”
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in consideration.
Tan Miao did reveal this point today, guessing that Qi Dongqiang killed Zhu Yue.
Chu Nanzhi tentatively asked: "So it's not true that you sent someone to Sun's house to worry about Zhu Yue. The real purpose is to check whether Zhu Yue's body can go down the canal?"
"There is indeed such a meaning."
Kang Mingyuan half-closed his eyes.
"If it was a floating corpse, then the turbulent water flow would surely flow into Sunjia Village overnight, but the corpse sank to the bottom of the water."
Chu Nanzhi stared at him, and suddenly realized: "That's why you chose to go to Sun's house again after five days, and you are very sure that the body is at the bottom of the canal."
"indeed so."
"But you know that Qi Dongqiang is the most suspected, why did you go to arrest Sun Wuji?"
Chu Nanzhi's expression became a little angry: "Could it be that you really want to favor the son of your subordinate?"
"I really want to protect that **** Qi Dongqiang, and I have severely questioned him. He didn't know about it. He even tortured several servants who followed him, but he didn't ask the truth about Zhu Yue's harm. I'm thinking about him. It must have only raped the daughter of the Zhang family, and did not murder Zhu Yue."
Kang Mingyuan looked bitter: "If I have enough evidence in the hall today, I won't let Mrs. Chu and everyone question me, and I won't confess this person."
"That's true."
Chu Nanzhi also felt that this guy would not defend his subordinate's son enough to bet his own life.
Kang Mingyuan said again: "It just so happened that the place where the body was salvaged that day was behind Sun Wuji's house. I was interrogating him with a tentative mentality, but who knew that there was an unexpected harvest. I heard that he had a dispute with Zhu Yue. Thinking of the matter of Guan Yin, I took advantage of the situation to force him to admit the murder."
"Dog officer."
Hearing this, Hu Maoxi slapped the table in front of him with a slap from embarrassment, which made Kang Mingyuan tremble in fright.
Chu Nanzhi's eyes wandered to look at the two of them, but gradually fell into hesitation.
If the murderer is neither Qi Dongqiang nor Sun Wuji, it means someone else.
After thinking about it, she re-examined Kang Mingyuan, and said slowly: "Qi Dongqiang is dead, and was murdered in the house."
Hearing this, Kang Mingyuan was stunned on the spot, and after a long time, he lost his voice and said: "Could it be that I made a mistake again, could it be that Zhu Yue committed suicide?"
