Chapter 328 Guess
Meng Changqing was busy outside until the afternoon. After settling Zhong Ming and the newly hired gentleman, he had time to return to the Yamen.
As soon as he sat down and was about to ask Bafang to find something to eat, Zuo Datou and Cheng Guang came over at the same time.
"What happened?" Meng Changqing saw their serious expressions, and the little leisure he had just felt immediately dissipated.
Zuo Datou was the first to speak, "What I told you last night was found to be that Song Xiyu and his grandson Xiao Xiao falsely reported progress, made false accounts and took advantage of their wages, and secretly set up gambling bureaus to lure people in the county and brothers in the yamen to gather for gambling."< br>
He handed over several account books that could be used as evidence to Meng Changqing. "Song Xiyu has been detained by his subordinates. Sun Zixiao has not yet been caught. He went to the new village. In order to avoid causing a commotion, his subordinates did not arrest him rashly, but kept people watching and arrested him at any time if there was any abnormal movement.
Several people who gathered for gambling have also been controlled and locked up in the cell room where we are on duty. ”
Meng Changqing quickly looked through the marked places, "Are these two the ones with ghosts?"
Zuo Datou said truthfully: "I have inquired in many ways and only found tangible evidence of these two people."
Meng Changqing understood what he meant, "You did a good job and discovered it in time. Please delay some time tonight and let the brothers in charge of road construction gather at the Yamen. I have something to say."
"Yes." Zuo Datou received the order and immediately returned to the construction site to inform everyone.
Meng Changqing looked at Cheng Guang next to him again, "Is there something wrong with mother?"
"Sir, what I want to say is also related to Song Xiyu." Cheng Guang told the story about Zheng Xidong.
After Meng Changqing heard this, he sneered twice, "Okay, I'm so busy that he can enjoy it first. Bafang, bring Song Xiyu over."
"Yes."
Knowing that Meng Changqing was going to interrogate Song Xiyu, Cheng Guang did not go to the back office and directly took over the work from all directions, "Sir, I'm going to pick someone up!"
Seeing Meng Changqing nod, he walked out quickly.
Bafang handed Meng Changqing a handkerchief and said, "Wipe your face." Soon, Song Xiyu was tied up and thrown in front of Meng Changqing.
Meng Changqing picked up the tea cup at his hand and drank the tea calmly, while Song Xiyu knelt down in front of him for a moment while holding a stick of incense.
Song Xiyu knelt on the blue bricks, feeling a dull pain in her knees and calves. She was panicking, but she couldn't help but hold out hope that the person sitting on the seat didn't know much.
Meng Changqing finally spoke, but asked: "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Song Xiyu tried to pretend to be dumbfounded, raising a face that pretended to be innocent, "Young kid who doesn't know the crime..."
"Just a reminder." Meng Changqing interrupted: "How I will deal with you later depends on what you say now. Think about it before you speak."
Song Xiyu understood that once he didn't give a thorough explanation, he would be completely finished.
He had experienced and heard about the methods and temper of the person in front of him. He heard that after the bandits were executed, she picked up the corpses one by one and inspected them. She ignored human life at such a young age and was extremely cold-blooded.
"The little one was instigated by the grandson and took the money on the construction site." Song Xiyu's hands were tied behind his back, but he still knocked his head on the ground and cried: "The little man was deceived by the grandson, so he did what he did. I’m willing to pay back all the money I took, and please let me go once!”
After hearing him cry, Meng Changqing scratched his ears and asked, "Are you just going to say this?"
Song Xiyu's body trembled, and her eyes quickly moved in their sockets, "The villain wanted to report, and the grandson, the grandson, and the grandson started a gambling game and encouraged many people to gamble with him. He stuffed the villain with money and asked the villain to The villain helped him hide it. The villain had been trying to persuade him to go back to the right path, but he didn't listen to the advice." At this point, he raised his head and looked at Meng Changqing with sincere eyes, "The villain was ready to report him, but it's just that he didn't listen. It is the kindness of a villain and a woman to want to give him another chance.”
Meng Changqing didn't believe it at all when he heard the words of self-blame he spat out.
"Shut up." Meng Changqing scratched his ear, "Don't say these useless words, just say what I want to hear."
Song Xiyu asked, "What do you want to hear, sir?"
Meng Changqing ate the biscuit, chewed it up and swallowed it before replying with two words, "Guess."
