Chapter 615 Playing with People's Hearts (Part 3)
Gao Yi looked away.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Of course he wouldn't admit it.
However, this was also within Shen Yanchuan's expectations.
"You don't really think that what you did in Qingzhou can be concealed from the world, right?"
Shen Yanchuan is slow and measured.
"Do you want to call those grain merchants over to check the accounts with you?"
Gao Yi was startled, and looked back at Shen Yanchuan in doubt. When he met those unfathomable eyes, he felt that everything about him seemed to be under the control of the other party.
It was as if there was an invisible net that bound him tightly and he couldn't break free.
Gao Yi pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was thinking over and over in his heart - those people had never been to Qingzhou since the autumn harvest last year. Even if Chen Yanchuan had great abilities, he would not be able to find them!
Gao Yi snorted coldly, "What grain merchant? I am just the attendant of Master Zuo Ci, how can I have anything to do with those businessmen!"
Shen Yanchuan seemed to smile.
"It's fine if Zuo Ci says he knows nothing, but you don't have to waste your energy. He has been in office for a few years and his pockets are bulging. Weren't those grain merchants 'introduced' to him by you?"
Although Qingzhou is a small place, it is not without benefits.
Zuo Ci felt that his future was hopeless, so he was only focused on making money. He was too lazy to take care of things on a daily basis. Fortunately, he had a subordinate named Gao Yi, who was serious and obedient, had read a few books, and had some martial arts skills. He was really useful, so he handed most of the affairs over to Gao Yi.
All he had to do was collect the money.
Later, many people realized that if they wanted to get anything done in Qingzhou, they had to find Gaoyi.
Zuo Ci has saved himself some trouble, but from a certain perspective, he has also been sidelined.
Including the later matter of grain collection, Zuo Ci occasionally heard about it but did not take it to heart. He just took the money as usual and handed it over to Gao Yi.
At that time, the people he met were those who had been screened by Gao Yi.
Gao Yi closed his mouth tightly.
He really couldn't guess how much evidence Shen Yanchuan had in his hand. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he simply didn't say anything!
However, Shen Yanchuan's next words once again broke through Gao Yi's defenses.
"You spent a lot of time and energy on the granaries in Quanzhou and Yizhou, right?"
Gao Yi suddenly looked up! My mind goes blank!
His reaction was the clearest answer.
Gao Yi also realized this immediately, but he no longer cared about it.
At this moment, there was only one voice left in his mind—Chen Yanchuan actually found it! How did he find out all this? ?
Gao Yi's fists loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again. In this cage that was like an ice cellar, he actually broke out in a cold sweat.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally lowered his head weakly.
"...Since you already know everything, why bother asking me again?"
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows, "So, you admit it?"
Gao Yi was dejected.
In fact, he was completely discouraged.
He smiled bitterly, "Whether I admit it or not, isn't it the same death?"
It's just a matter of sooner or later.
Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled.
"It seems that you are loyal and not afraid of death. You are willing to give up your life to follow your master."
Gao Yi's heart trembled, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face, "What did you say!? He died!? But he was clearly exiled--"
Gao Yi's voice suddenly stopped.
The suffocating silence gradually spread, like a tide swallowing everything.
Gao Yi's face turned pale.
He finally realized what a big mistake he had made!
His whole body was stiff, the blood in his body seemed to have solidified, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, veins on his forehead were throbbing, the corners of his mouth twitched and twisted a few times, but he couldn't say anything.
However, what he just said was enough.
Shen Yanchuan raised his thin lips slightly and looked back.
"My three lords, is this ok?"
Gao Yi no longer knew what his mood or expression should be at this moment.
After just a few words and a few confrontations, he had already been completely defeated!
He clenched his teeth so tightly that they almost bled, "Chen Yanchuan...you cheated me!"
"Hasn't your master taught you that all is fair in war? Also, if what I just said was all a lie, how could you admit it so easily?"
Shen Yanchuan's tone was calm and composed, as if he was talking about the nice weather today.
Chen Songshi and others behind him finally came out, with complicated expressions.
Gao Yi's words were enough to point out that everything he did was instructed by Xiao Chengxuan!
"I can't believe it... Your Highness is already so noble, why has he come to this?"
Xu Fengchi glanced at Gao Yi, but what he was thinking was that he finally knew where Xu Jie's testimony came from...
Chen Yanchuan seldom takes action himself. His Black Cavalry Guards have different functions, and many of them are good at interrogation.
But it was not until he saw it with his own eyes that Xu Fengchi clearly realized that Chen Yanchuan was the one who was truly good at this!
Insight into people's hearts is very detailed!
Even if it is as confusing as a fog, he can still unravel it and distinguish the true from the false!
That’s just a few questions?
Gao Yi admitted it all!
Su Wei looked solemn, "I will present the testimony now, please read it, Your Majesty."
If Gao Yi still doesn't know what happened at this point, then he has wasted all these years.
How could the Black Knights be ordered to arrest him?
It was obvious that Chen Yanchuan had teamed up with the three judicial officials to ask him for his testimony!
Before this, Gao Yi had never thought that he would be able to get these people to come together for the trial!
Of course, he didn't know that he did this just because Shen Yanchuan was afraid of trouble.
——Finally, we have brought the person to the capital, so we naturally have to solve the problem cleanly and efficiently.
After investigating the Qingzhou matter for such a long time, he no longer had the interest or patience to drag it on.
Shen Yanchuan took one last look at Gao Yi.
"The news you received earlier is good. Your master is not dead yet. But..."
However, after tomorrow, I am afraid that life will be worse than death.
…
When I came out of the prison, the sky was already turning a little pale.
Chen Songshi hammered his aching shoulders and sighed, "My old bones really can't stand the torment anymore..."
If it wasn't for the matter involving Xiao Chengxuan, he wouldn't have come here to spend the night.
Xu Fengchi smiled and said, "Now that everything has settled, you can go back today and have a good rest."
"There is no such good thing!"
Chen Songshi shook his head.
"Gao Yi has confessed and has given evidence, but it is precisely because of this that I will be busy next!"
Xu Fengchi understood what he meant.
This confirmed that Xiao Chengxuan was hoarding grain.
A prince was hoarding grain for no reason. Even a fool could tell that he was plotting rebellion!
Su Wei didn't care much about this. In his opinion, Xiao Chengxuan had already been nailed to the charge of treason. What he cared about more now was...
"How did the prince know that the grain from Qingzhou was stored in Quanzhou and Yizhou?"
