550 The mastermind behind the scenes that surfaced (big chapter) -4

“Lord Vice Minister, why not use torture?” Shaoyin raised his doubts.

Minister sun’s orders, ” the assistant Minister explained, then said disdainfully, ”

“That Xu niannian is just a little brat. I’ll give him a heavy blow later to make him lose his composure, and then I’ll slowly interrogate him. When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble Lord shaoyin to make a good face.”

The official’s young master nodded. you can also use criminal law to threaten them. The students these days may be sharp-tongued, but once they see blood, they’ll be scared to death.

All the officials smiled. They were all experienced interrogators, and dealing with a young student was a piece of cake for them.

The jailer left the cell with Xu niannian and came to the interrogation room. He bowed to the officials in the room and said, ”

“My Lords, I’ve brought a New Year’s celebration.”

After he finished speaking, he tactfully retreated.

Xu niannian stood at the door and glanced at the scene in the interrogation room. Behind the main table sat two officials in red robes. They were the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the magistrate of the magistrate’s office.

On both sides were many officials who accompanied the interrogation, clerks who took notes, and a white-robed sorcerer from the Directorate of Celestials.

“Pa!”

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice grabbed the wooden gavel and slammed it on the table. He said in a deep voice,”Xu niannian, someone reported that you bribed the head Examiner, Zhao tingfang, and participated in the imperial examination. Is this true?”

“Nonsense,” Xu niannian shook his head.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice sneered and continued, “”Through Zhao tingfang’s butler, you bribed him with three hundred taels of silver. Using the Butler as a medium, you obtained the exam question in advance.

Zhao tingfang’s butler, Zhu You, has already confessed. This is his statement. Take a look for yourself.

As he spoke, he took out a confession from his sleeve and asked the clerk to hand it to Xu niannian.

Xu niannian took it and read it carefully. The confession was very detailed, even accurate to the time of the ” transaction ” between the two parties. There were almost no loopholes.

“As expected of someone from the Ministry of Justice, even I, the person involved, couldn’t see any flaws. However, I also have a certificate here. Would you like to see it?” Xu xinnian said.

“What proof?” The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice asked.

“Get a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone.” Xu Erlang said indifferently.

Immediately, the clerk moved a small table and placed brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on it.

Xu niannian was wearing handcuffs and shackles. He stood by the table, dipped his brush in ink, and wrote quickly.

After a while, the paper was filled with tiny words. Xu Xinian dipped his thumb in ink and pressed his fingerprint on the paper. He threw the pen and said, “”Please take a look, my Lord.”

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice ordered someone to bring it over. When he looked at it, his expression suddenly froze, and his breathing gradually became heavy. He suddenly tore up the paper and pointed at Xu Xinyi. He said in exasperation,

“Torture me, torture me.”

Shaoyin was stunned. This was different from what he had said just now. The person had not lost his mind when he had committed the crime, but the Vice Minister had lost his mind first?

The officials present subconsciously looked at the torn pieces of paper and guessed what was written on Xu New Year’s paper to make the great assistant Minister so angry and hysterical.

“Look, even Lord Vice Minister thinks that this student is speaking without thinking?”

Xu niannian spread his hands and sneered in disdain. “If I write down the time, place, person, and the specific process, then leave a fingerprint, it will prove that I bribed some Butler.

“Then, Lord Assistant Minister, oh no, my son, call me father. Everything that your father and mother did is written clearly and clearly.”

The officials looked at the paper again, as if they knew what was written on it.

“Torture him, torture him! I want this crazy bastard to suffer a fate worse than death!” The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s eyes were about to pop out.

A mere student dared to insult his dead mother. A mere tribute soldier dared to humiliate him, a rank four Assistant Minister, in public.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s blood rushed to his face, and his anger boiled.

“Vice Minister, please calm down. The Minister has ordered that no torture is allowed.” An official from the Ministry of Justice hurriedly went up to comfort him and whispered in his ear.

“Hmph!” The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice took a sip of tea and forced himself to suppress his anger, but he did not say anything else.

The magistrate of the magistrate’s office coughed and took over the responsibility of the interrogation. He asked,”Xu niannian, did you cheat?”

no, ” Xu niannian said righteously. I’m an upright and honest man. I’ve never cheated.

Shaoyin looked at the white-robed Warlock from the Directorate of Celestials.
