Chapter 44: Chat with Weng Junbo
Even with Shao Zhi's arrangement, it was impossible for Chen Yunfu to directly go to the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate Weng Junbo in a self-righteous way.
There is also a nursing home right in front of me.
You have to report it to Ge Sidao first.
Ge Sidao had already received a greeting from Shao Zhi, and he did not say anything about blocking it, but agreed on the spot.
"There is nothing going on in the Zhaomo Institute on weekdays, so just let Zhao Qian take care of it for you for the time being. Weng Junbo's case is the most important matter for the Ministry of Punishment and our Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you can really handle it, it will be Go and bring honor to our Metropolitan Procuratorate."
After thanking Ge Sidao, Chen Yunfu returned to the Nursing Home, found Zhao Qian and said, "You will keep an eye on the Nursing Home for me these days. I'm going to the Ministry of Punishment to do some things."
Zhao Qian knew that Chen Yunfu was a very important person, so he did not dare to ask more questions and nodded in agreement.
"Master, please go and get busy."
"Thanks a lot."
After Chen Yunfu finished explaining what he had to explain, he felt at ease and looked around to see if everything was okay. Then he left the Zhao Mo Institute and headed for the Penal Department Prison.
With the approval slips from Shao Zhi and Ru Taisu, it was equivalent to the Ministry of Punishment. Both sides of the Metropolitan Procuratorate granted Chen Yunfu special privileges. Of course, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment would not stop him. Several jailers personally escorted Chen Yunfu into Weng Junbo's cell.
"I'll be waiting outside. If the superior officer calls out if there's anything assigned, the subordinates will come in immediately."
The head guard was also very humble in front of Chen Yunfu.
As mentioned earlier, although the jailers are on duty in the Ministry of Punishment, their organizational relationship is under the Prison Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so Chen Yunfu is half of their immediate boss.
"Good work."
Chen Yunfu nodded politely, and the team leader bowed his hands and left. When he came to the door, he turned around and added: "Shangguan, I have a humble surname of Wu, and my only name is Zhao."
This team leader was smart enough to see that Chen Yunfu had a good background and knew how to get a chance for himself.
Chen Yunfu smiled and nodded and noted it down, and Wu Zhao left overjoyed.
In the cell, only Chen Yunfu and Na Weng Junbo were left.
The latter was handcuffed to the torture rack and could not move, but he was awake. He looked at Chen Yunfu with squinted eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I remember you, the clerk who came here a few days ago, right? You are here to do it." very."
"I'll handle your case."
Chen Yunfu pulled up a chair and sat in front of Weng Junbo, saying: "Now I am the presiding judge of your case."
"You, the presiding judge?" Weng Junbo was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "You're laughing so hard at me, you're just a young child. Don't make me laugh here. Leave quickly."
"What, you don't believe it?"
Chen Yunfu was not angry and called out to Wu Zhao, who immediately walked in with several jailers.
"Shangguan, but this bastard is rude."
When he was called in just after he went out, Wu Zhao thought it was Weng Junbo who was spewing rubbish at Chen Yunfu, so he immediately said: "Let me see if I don't break a few of the teeth in his mouth."
Are all the errands so cruel these days?
Chen Yunfu hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, no, no, I came here to tell you that the smell in this house is really bad. Please send someone to clean it up."
So good, what kind of house are you cleaning?
Wu Zhao was a little depressed, but he still followed the instructions and said: "Yes, I will do it now."
As he was talking, he was about to go out to prepare, but was stopped by Chen Yunfu again.
Then Chen Yunfu took out a few hundred-denomination banknotes from his robe sleeves.
"Also, send someone to buy some wine and meat, and I'll treat our counselor Weng to a drink."
Wu Zhao quickly said: "I have money, so go buy it now."
"Here, you will only get more salary in a month." Chen Yunfu put the money directly into Wu Zhao's hand and waved: "Go quickly."
Holding the money in his hand, Wu Zhao was stunned for a while before he woke up and hurriedly ran out.
"I didn't notice it. You are not old, but you have a good temperament."
Weng Junbo coughed twice and said: "Seeing that you became an eighth-rank official of the imperial court at such a young age, I thought you were a playboy from a powerful family. It seems that I have lost my sight."
After coughing twice more, Weng Junbo continued: "However, don't think about treating me to a meal of wine and meat, I will confess, so don't waste your efforts in vain."
"Look at what you said, as if I invited you to dinner for some reason." Chen Yunfu curled his lips and smiled: "Actually, you and I both know the reason why you don't confess. It's just because you are worried about your own family.
.
To be honest, I support what you are doing now."
I support what you are doing now!
Weng Junbo was stunned.
One of his interrogators, a law enforcer representing the court, law, and justice, actually said he supported what he, a criminal, was doing.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about supporting your corruption."
Chen Yunfu waved his hand and explained: "What I support is your refusal to confess for the safety of your family. To be honest, if I were in your place, I wouldn't do it, but I am not as brave and strong as you. I
I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear such a painful punishment.”
Weng Junbo laughed, and suddenly realized that Chen Yunfu in front of him was so pleasing to his eyes.
"What do you think? How about we talk about it after I find your family?"
Chen Yunfu said sincerely: "At that time, don't hold back. How about we tell all the truth? I promise that as long as you tell me, I will go to His Majesty the Emperor to intercede for you. I can't tell, even you."
No need to die."
"Nonsense." Weng Junbo was laughing when he said this, but it was not mocking, but a very relaxed smile, like, like.
A joke between friends?
"I've been corrupted and bribed for thousands of dollars. According to my Ming Law, it would take me thousands of times to peel off the skin and make the grass. You still want to protect me from death?"
"It's better to make meritorious deeds."
Chen Yunfu didn't care much, and said in a very relaxed tone: "Of course you deserve to die, but compared to the huge and intricate interest group behind you, you and I are just a pair of little flies.
You have a sense of accomplishment only when you kill tigers, right? Eliminating the huge interest group behind you will help our Ming Dynasty recover a lot of losses. Compared with the huge national property, your fault is nothing.
Maybe the emperor can really pardon you."
While talking, Chen Yunfu stood up, picked up the tea bowl on the table and poured water.
"Then I can lend you some good words."
Weng Junbo also said with a smile: "You talk about one interest group, then tell me, who are the so-called interest groups behind me?"
Chen Yunfu walked up to Weng Junbo with a tea bowl and handed it to the latter's mouth. Weng Junbo took a big sip and let out a sigh of relief after drinking it all.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." Chen Yunfu sat back in his seat, looked at Weng Junbo calmly, and spoke slowly.
