Chapter 20: Killing Wang Chengguo



Wang Zheng believed that he had not done anything wrong, so there was nothing to hide. He just repeated everything.

But what Wang Chengguo and others said was interesting.

The county magistrate's son just went out for fun and disappeared. To this day, no one has found his son, and neither his body has been found. The county magistrate just asked the villagers to help search for his son. On the way, he met Ba Ren and Wang Zheng, but was brutally killed by Wang Zheng. They all witnessed it with their own eyes.

After the county magistrate learned of the incident, he reported it to the state because he saw that the Ba people were powerful. Only then did Wang Chengguo lead his troops to investigate.

Wang Zheng was not in a hurry to argue, but bowed to Tang Lin and said, "Sir, this is just what they agreed on on the way.

On that day, Wang Zhian led the people in the county to rob the imperial farm, and nearly two thousand people participated. You only need to send someone to Longzhou to investigate and you will know the truth. "

Before Tang Lin expressed his opinion, Wang Chengguo hurriedly said, "Sir, I have witnesses who can prove that Wang Zhian has no intention of robbing the imperial farm.

Tang Lin nodded and said, "But, the authenticity of the confession requires individual questioning. You can decide the order of questioning yourself. Come, take Wang Chengguo and his men separately."

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, saying, "What he said is true."

Wang Zheng looked at Wan Shuan and smiled, "That's not what you said at the time. You said that if I was willing to hand over the method of making yellow paper, Wang Zhian would stop bothering me and let me go."

The man was stunned by Wang Zheng's question. He thought for a moment and said, "How can I answer so many of your questions at once? Besides, I can't remember many things clearly."

Wang Zheng sighed and said, "It doesn't matter whether I said it or not."

At this time, Wan Shuan nodded and said, "Yes, it is gold, silver and other valuables."

Tang Lin nodded and asked Wang Zheng, "This person is telling the truth."

Tang Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "These five people must be lying. I have decided to torture them."

“All five of you said you saw me kill the county magistrate Wang Zhian, but your documents said I used four kinds of weapons. The swords you two mentioned were of different lengths.

However, when Wang Zheng's eyes swept over Changsun Wuji, he understood something. The imperial farm was previously in the hands of Empress Changsun, and after Empress Changsun's death, Li Shimin did not appoint another empress.

Tang Lin nodded and said, "Since there is a witness, please come out."

Wang Chengguo said contemptuously: "What else can it be? It's nothing more than gold, silver and other valuables."

Wan Shuan laughed and said, "That's nonsense. I never said that."

What was the exact time, what was I wearing, what weapons did I use, how many Ba people did I bring with me, what were they like, did I ride a horse, and what was the horse like?"

“Let me ask you, you said you saw me leading the Ba people to kill Wang Zhian when he was looking for his son, so let me ask.

The man who came was a eunuch. Wang Zheng knew him, but he did not expect that this man, who was also the manager of the imperial farm, would collude with Wang Chengguo, and even dared to come to the Ministry of Justice to give false testimony in front of Wu Zetian.

The person who came was Wan Shuan, the manager of Bazhou Royal Manor, who had once served as a lobbyist for Wang Zhian and had met Wang Zheng once.

The first person Wang Zheng questioned was one of the people on Cheng Bokang's list.

After Wang Zheng had questioned all six people, including him, in turn, he asked Tang Lin to bring the six of them, including the county magistrate, to the lobby at the same time, holding up five documents and saying with a smile.

The county magistrate said, "It's been a long time, so it's normal for their memories to be fuzzy. Besides, they got the time and the number of Ba people right, didn't they?"

Wang Chengguo looked excited and said to Tang Lin: "Sir, Wang Zheng admitted it. He admitted it. Please punish him quickly."

Wang Zheng looked at Wang Chengguo strangely and asked, "What did I admit? You have to punish me."

Even the clothes I wore at the time were different from what you saw, and the horse I rode also had three different patterns. Tell me, who is telling the truth?"

Wang Zheng was speechless. Are you, Wang Chengguo, mentally retarded? How could you come to such a conclusion? "Do you know what the price Wang Zhian was willing to pay was?"

Wang Zheng figured all these things out in an instant, and he looked at Wan Shuan with a strange look.

Wang Zheng nodded and said, "That's understandable. I'll write down these questions, and you try to recall everything you remember and answer them. Is that okay?"

He did want to trade with Wang Zheng, but the price was not agreed upon, so Wang Zheng got angry and killed Wang Zhian with the help of the Ba people.

Wang Chengguo was stunned and said, "Since you admit that Wang Zhian once wanted to trade with you, it proves that he had no intention of stealing your secret method. It means that you had a conflict with his son and killed him, and then you brutally killed the county magistrate Wang Zhian."

Wu Zetian is now the master of the harem. What Wan Shuan is doing now is no different from a traitor. Can Zhangsun Wuji really protect him from Wu Zetian? Wan Shuan came to the hall and looked straight ahead. After clasping his fists and bowing to Tang Lin, he said, "Sir, I am Wan Shuan, the manager of the Bazhou Royal Manor, and I have been to Longzhou on official business.

Wang Zheng then bowed to Tang Lin and said, "Sir, I want to question them individually."

Wang Zheng stopped talking and bowed to Tang Lin, saying, "What do you think, sir?"

After Tang Lin finished speaking, he asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty and Duke Zhao?"

I was invited by the county magistrate Wang Zhian to be a lobbyist and to negotiate with Wang Zheng on his behalf. I am willing to pay a price in exchange for the secret method of making yellow paper in Wang Zheng's hands. If I lie, I will be subject to Tang law. "

As for how Wang Zhian and Wan Shuan were related, it was probably because after the former queen and Zhangsun Wuji reached a consensus, the people below them naturally came into contact with each other and became close.

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Of course they got the time and the number of Ba people right. If I ask you to say it, you should be able to say it right, because when Wang Zhian brought people here, weren't you together?"

Wu Zetian said indifferently: "As you wish, old minister."

Changsun Wuji didn't want to talk, so Tang Lin took it as his consent and waved to the yamen runners around him. Immediately, a group of yamen runners pounced on him like wolves and tigers and were ready to take action.

Wang Zheng said quickly: "If you tell the truth now, you can redeem yourself. After the severe punishment, you will not only suffer a lot, but also be punished more severely. What are you waiting for?"

The five people who were already frightened silly shouted quickly after Wang Zheng reminded them.

"I admit it, I admit it."
