Above the lobby of the Criminal Department, Qin Yan knelt down with a cloak and a decadent expression. Qin Yan's father, Qin Zhaoqin, stood aside with his hands in his hands, his body was erect, his eyes looked at the roof, he was originally a man who fought in the south and the north, but his eyes were red at this time.

Above the lobby, a middle-aged man in a red official uniform, Zheng Tianhe, the secretary of the Criminal Department, raised his eyebrows coldly at Qin Yan, who was kneeling in the audience, "Qin Yan, because you saw the beauty of the victim Xuemei, you had bad intentions, but unfortunately Xuemei didn't comply, so you strangled him to death in the room, and afterwards you were flustered and fled in a hurry." Now that the human and material evidence is gathered, you can plead guilty. ”

"......" Faced with the inquiry, Qin Yan was silent, looking at the ground with blank eyes, with a look of decadence and confusion.

"Since you don't speak, then the official will acquiesce to you. Come! Sign for him! Zheng Tianhe said and gestured to the guards beside him, and the guards understood, so they picked up the testimony on the side and walked towards Qin Yan. Just as he was about to pick up Qin Yan's hand and press his fingerprints on the testimony, a loud laugh came from outside the lobby of the Criminal Department.

"Hahaha...... In the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I didn't know that there was still a trick to beat! ! ”

"Who is it!! Who rushed to the criminal department to make trouble!! Zheng Tianhe shouted angrily.

Ji Xiamo walked quickly into the lobby of the Criminal Department, two long knives swept across Ji Xiamo's neck, Ji Xiamo glanced at the long knife on his neck, and said with a smile, "The sword has no eyes, master, I'm delicate, don't hurt me." ”

"Bold!" One of the guards shouted. "You can't be presumptuous in the lobby, press him down, and take fifty heavy responsibilities."

"Who dares to be presumptuous!" Aoki stepped forward and took out a jade waist card, and immediately the two long knives were withdrawn, and the surrounding officials and guards knelt on the ground. "Our son-in-law is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he won't let go."

"It turned out to be the prime minister's little son." Zheng Tianhe stepped down from the stage and smiled. "I don't know why the little boy came to the criminal department?"

"Master, I heard that this kid Qin Yan was arrested for murder, so I came to join in the fun."

"Ji Xiaogongzi, the dog has done something wrong, and if you want to kill or beat General Ben, there is nothing to say, but General Ben will never allow anyone to insult and mock the dog." Qin Zhaoqin on the side said with a cold face and said stiffly, looking at Ji Xiamo's eyes with cold anger.

"The little boy is right, Qin Yan tried to forcibly defile because he coveted the appearance of Xuemei, a woman in the Qinglou, because Xuemei swore to die, so he killed people out of anger."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Little boy" Zheng Tianhe was stunned and said with a smile. "Yesterday, Qin Yan spent three thousand silver to buy the deceased Xuemei, which many people have seen."

"Since he bought that woman, why did Qin Yan covet her appearance and try to forcibly defile it?"

"This ......" Zheng Tianhe was a little dumbfounded. Perhaps, maybe Xuemei doesn't obey? The official learned that this Xuemei was an ordinary woman with ordinary skills, and she was sold to the Qinglou for a while......"

"Don't you think there are many loopholes in this testimony?" Ji Xiamo picked up the testimony and interrupted Zheng Tianhe's explanation.

"You said that Qin Yan wanted to forcibly defile the deceased Xuemei, but Qin Yan spent three thousand silver to buy Xuemei, which is also proved by everyone's own eyes. You also said that Xuemei is a woman from a good family, and she doesn't obey in her heart, so why didn't she struggle at the auction? In addition, if, as you said, Xue Mei forcibly struggled to fight with Qin Yan because she didn't want to be defiled, and it was late at night, why didn't anyone hear the movement? ”

"This, this official ......" was bombarded by Ji Xiamo's company, and Zheng Tianhe's face began to sweat.

"And the most important thing." Ji Xiamo slowly approached Zheng Tianhe, the corners of his mouth hooked, but there was no trace of a smile on his face. "You said that after Qin Yan killed Xuemei, he quickly fled the scene because of panic, but the testimony clearly said that someone knocked on the door several times during the day and did not respond, so he found a few people to knock on the door for fear."

"Naturally, such a physical job of hitting the door cannot be handed over to those delicate girls, it must be some thugs. It took a few men to knock the door open, and it must have been tripped from the inside, not covered up. Since Qin Yan fled in a hurry, how did he trip the door from the inside? Does he have the ability to pierce walls? ”

"Maybe, maybe it's a window jump." Zheng Tianhe lowered his head, his face was pale, and he kept wiping his sweat.

"Don't you think this reason is a bit far-fetched?" Ji Xia Mo smiled.

"But I can't rule it out." Zheng Tianhe said stiffly.

"Really? I just paid attention on the way to the Punishment Department, and it seemed to rain a lot last night. Ji Xia Mo smiled and set his eyes on Qin Yan's shoes.

Zheng Tianhe looked tremblingly, his face was as white as paper in an instant, his body shook, and he was almost unstable.

"As a scholar of the Criminal Department, the adult should follow the will of the people and solve the people's worries, but the adult does not ask about the indiscriminate, does not distinguish between right and wrong, wrongs good people, but lets the real murderer get away with it, and almost kills Zhongliang by mistake. My lord, what is your intention? Ji Xiamo shook the bone fan in his hand lightly, and looked at Zheng Tianhe with a faint gaze.

"I ...... However, Qin ...... Qin Gongzi did not defend himself. ”

"Tsk, that's it." Ji Xiamo walked to Qin Yan's side and turned around twice, lowered his head and sniffed, and rubbed his nose with disgust.

"I drank too much last night, and I haven't woken up yet."

“！！” Zheng Tianhe is really bloodless now.

"Uncle Qin." Ji Xiamo turned around and walked in front of Qin Zhaoqin, clasped his fists and smiled. "Please take Qin Yan back to freshen up, then sober up, and write a note to the emperor by the way."

"Ji Gongzi!!" Zheng Tianhe shouted and shouted. "What Ji Gongzi said just now is just Ji Gongzi's own speculation, there is no evidence, and there is no testimony, how can Qin Yan be proven innocent? Qin Yan, as the son of the General's Mansion, has good martial arts, Xuemei is a weak woman, she is powerless to resist in front of Qin Yan, and it is possible that no one hears the movement. ”

"Go on." Ji Xia Mo shook his fan, smiling kindly, if he didn't know his nature, I was afraid that he would believe in his apparent kindness.

"The door, the door is inserted from the inside, Qin Yan jumped out of the window and escaped, no one knows where he went last night, whether he changed his clothes and shoes." Zheng Tianhe panicked in his heart, his face turned pale, and he struggled to refute.

"If there is no evidence, Qin Yan is still the main suspect in this case!"

"Zheng Tianhe! You treacherous villain, what are your intentions in wanting to harm my son like this!! Qin Zhaoqin, who had already heard it on the side, was so angry that he pulled out the big sword at his waist and slashed it when he raised it, and suddenly there was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping above the torture hall.

"Uncle Qin!" Ji Xiamo stepped forward to stop Qin Zhaoqin, relieved him, and comforted, "Uncle Qin, don't worry, just leave it to me, I will rescue Qin Yan." ”

"Your Excellency." Ji Xiamo looked at Zheng Tianhe, who was sitting on the ground, his black gauze hat fell to the side, his hair was messy, and he couldn't bear to look frightened and panicked, and the fan lightly covered the corners of his lips to hide the trace of laughter.

"You don't want to let Qin Yan go, but you can't veto my reasoning, instead of the two of us being deadlocked, why don't you tell me what to do?"

Supported by the people around him, Zheng Tianhe got up with all hands and feet, and put on his hat in a panic.

"Ji Gongzi, this official ......"

"Huh!?" Qin Zhaoqin on the side glared, and Zheng Tianhe took two steps back in a trembling manner.

"Three days! The official gave Ji Gongzi three days, if Ji Gongzi can find out the murderer and prove that Qin Gongzi is not guilty, the official will immediately release Qin Gongzi! ”

"Zheng Tianhe! Don't deceive people too much!! Qin Zhaoqin was furious.

"The country has national laws, the family has family rules, and the official is in his position, and he will not show mercy to anyone!" Zheng Tianhe said stiffly.

"Good!" Ji Xiamo raised his head, the corners of his mouth hooked, three points cheap, seven points ruffian. "Deal! After three days, I will bring the murderer before you. ”

"Virtuous Nephew ......"

"Uncle Qin doesn't have to worry, master...... Bah! The younger generation has its own calculations. ”

With Qin Zhaoqin's Criminal Department, Qin Zhaoqin stiffened his face and was silent.

"Uncle Qin, there is still something at home for the younger generation, so I will leave first."

"Virtuous nephew." Seeing that Ji Xiamo was leaving, Qin Zhaoqin hurriedly opened his mouth to keep people. "You ...... the murderer's business"

"Uncle Qin, don't worry, I promise that in three days, Qin Yan will be delivered to you intact." Ji Xia Mo raised his chin and smiled mysteriously.

"By the way, Uncle Qin, I don't know if Uncle Qin has offended someone outside, otherwise ......" Ji Xiamo didn't say it all, but thinking about it, Qin Zhaoqin also knew the meaning of his words.

If it weren't for someone's secret instructions, this Zheng Tianhe, no matter how great his ability, would never dare to touch the son of the General's Mansion, after all, the official position was there.

Moreover, in addition to the criminal department in the capital, there are four city gates in the east, west, north and south, each of which has a government office to deal with the affairs of ordinary people, otherwise if everything is done by the criminal department, the criminal department would have been exhausted to death.

Qin Yan's face seems to be a human life, but after all, it is just a woman in a green building, it is not good to say, not to mention those who are officials in the court, it is those children of official eunuchs, who do not have one or two lives in their hands?

Even if Qin Yan really blatantly killed ordinary people, at most, he would bring back the four officials. Qin Yan was directly arrested and convicted this time, less than a day before and after, such a rapid speed. There is only one reason, someone is eyeing the General's Mansion, Qin Yan is also under surveillance, and this person's official position is above Qin Zhaoqin.

What Ji Xia Mo could think of, Qin Zhaoqin naturally thought of it, and also thought of who it was. His face suddenly turned blue, and he scolded angrily, "Old thing!!" ”

"Virtuous nephew, thank you for today's events, if it weren't for you, this bastard kid would be ......" Qin Zhaoqin solemnly hugged Ji Xia Mo.

"Uncle Qin doesn't have to be polite, I don't know Qin Yan if I don't know each other, not to mention that this matter has something to do with me."

"Anyway! My old Qin family owes you a favor, if you need anything in the future, just ask. Qin Zhaoqin patted his chest proudly and promised.

In this regard, Ji Xiamo smiled silently, but did not say no more refusal.

After all, this is also a thick thigh, everyone has personally sent it to the eyes, if you don't hurry up and hold it, he's stupid!
