"And what about your knife?"

Pigalo Guli muttered: "This morning, when I got up, I found that the knife was missing!" Someone must have wanted to harm me, so they stole my knife! ”

Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "Tie Zhan, you go to the Zhaode Mansion and ask for verification!" Tell me when you get back! ”

Tie Zhan hugged his wrist: "It's an adult!" Tie Zhan took the two catchers to the Zhaode Mansion, and within an hour, he came back: "Lord Hui, the Turkic King did not return to the Zhaode Mansion last night!" ”

Di Renjie glared at Pigalo Guli and patted him in surprise and said, "Turkic King, what else do you have to say?" Where exactly did you go last night? Recruit from the truth! ”

"Mighty ......" The left and right officials said mightily, and Pigalo Guli bowed his head and said: "It was this king who deceived the adults!" But for all these reasons, the king has nothing to say! But there is one thing, I, Picaro Couli, am deeply favored by the emperor, and I will never do such a murderous thing! I hope you will see it! ”

Di Renjie said in his heart, I know you have grievances, but if you don't tell the evidence that you are not at the scene of the crime, no one can save you: "Turkic king, you can't hide any details in the lobby, otherwise the official can't do anything, your knife is at the scene of the crime, and there are witnesses, if you don't say it, no one will be able to help you!" ”

"This ...... Di Gong, I can't hide it, this matter is related to a person's reputation, and this king can't say it! Picaro Guli said.

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "All the evidence is not good for you!" Of course, you can't judge that the owner of this knife did the crime based on a knife alone, but you are the most suspicious, since you don't want to say it, when I investigate it, it will be a crime of one more degree, and you will destroy the nine clans! ”

Pigalo Guli held his head high and said: "This king is worthy of asking himself, and please be aware of it!" ”

"Good! Someone, put the Turkic king in prison, and wait for his fate! ”

Two arresters came over and put Pigaro Guli in prison, Di Renjie ordered: "Come on, bring Liu Chengyan's body up!" ”

A duke carried Liu Chengyan's body up, Di Renjie personally went down to the hall and came to Liu Chengyan's face, it was really miserable, the whole head and body were separated! Di Renjie squatted down, carefully examined the wound, pried his mouth open with a stick, looked at it carefully, and then said quietly: "Carry it down!" ”

At this moment, suddenly someone was beating a drum outside the hall, and Di Renjie frowned: "Bring the person who beats the drum to the hall!" ”

"No need! The old man himself came in! Di Renjie saw that it was Liu Wentao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who came, and returned to the lobby and said, "It turned out to be Lord Liu, is it because of the dog!" ”

Liu Wentao's eyes were red and said, "Master Di, is the culprit Turkic King already subdued?" ”

Di Renjie waved his hand: "Move a chair for Lord Liu!" Lord Liu, this case is being tried, and the evidence is conclusive on the surface, but further evidence is needed before the case can be decided! ”

"Master Di, I don't understand, this person has all the evidence, isn't it enough to make that Turkic king subjugate? You're not protecting him, are you? ”

Di Renjie was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "Lord Liu, everything must be done according to the law, and you can't just rely on one-sided words, can you guarantee that no one harms the Turkic King?" Besides, you don't know what I, Di Renjie, do, don't talk about the emperor's relatives, kings and grandchildren, treat everyone equally, and never show favoritism! If you are not convinced, you can go to the emperor and sue me! ”

"You! ......" Liu Wentao weighed it, everyone knew that Di Renjie was an important minister of the emperor Wu Zetian, and said to the emperor, isn't that boring?
