Chapter 86
It didn't take long for the two men to be pulled up by the officials.
"Gao Mingde, Zhao Liang, are you guilty?" Xu Zhi, the magistrate, shouted loudly, and his majesty was revealed.
Su Jinshi looked at the two men kneeling on the ground lightly, and today he realized that their names were Gao Mingde, Zhao Liang.
Mingde, Zhao Liang.
Hehe, the name is very upright.
"Neither of us pleaded guilty! We have not sinned! Gao Mingde said loudly, and after speaking, he turned his head to look at Lu Ning, and there was a provocation in his eyes.
Xu Zhi was shocked again, pointed to the two people and said, "You still don't admit guilt? Now that the six princes have come out to testify against you, you still don't admit it quickly! ”
Su Jinshi frowned, looked at the two people who were kneeling, did not speak, but there was an inexplicable worry in his heart.
Sure enough, Zhao Liang, who was kneeling, smiled and said, "The two of us have never seen the Six Princes, where did we come from?" ”
When Xu Zhi heard this, he smiled coldly, "Could it be that the sixth prince will slander you?" ”
Zhao Liang's afterglow floated past Ning Xifeng and snorted coldly, "If there is no evidence, we will not admit guilt." ”
After speaking, Zhao Liang also looked at Tang Yaxin who was standing aside, and a trace of victory flashed in his eyes.
Su Jinshi looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, and only felt that they couldn't say anything strange.
It was clear that the one in front of them was the current Six Princes, but these two people were not afraid at all, but used their lack of evidence to excuse themselves very calmly.
If it's not that they're hopelessly stupid, it's that they have a backstage, and this backstage may be bigger than the Six Princes.
They don't look hopelessly stupid.
Su Jinshi looked at Ning Xifeng and saw that he was also a little confused, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart.
"My lord, if you don't have evidence that we have committed such a thing, can you let us go home first?" Gao Mingde looked directly at Xu Zhi, and his tone was a little arrogant.
Xu Zhi glanced at Ning Xifeng, and when he saw that he nodded slightly, he had to pat the wood in surprise and said, "That's the case, you two will leave, if you get the relevant evidence in the future, I will still summon you here." ”
Xu Zhi paused and said coldly, "You two get ready." ”
Gao Mingde and Zhao Liang immediately got up, patted the ash on their knees, and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for the adults over there." ”
After speaking, the two glanced at Ning Xifeng and the others again, and left with a smile.
Because the identity of the six princes was revealed, Xu Zhi was embarrassed to let them stay in the inn anymore, so he simply invited a few people to the guest rooms in his house.
The trial was held in a huge manner, but nothing came out, and the onlookers dispersed in a hurry.
Xu Zhi smiled a little embarrassedly, didn't speak, welcomed a few people into the mansion, arranged their respective rooms, and then called a few people to the study to discuss matters.
When a few people arrived at the study, Xu Zhi first saluted Ning Xifeng, and then sighed: "Those two people don't feel guilty at all, they are really stubborn." ”
Ning Xifeng frowned and didn't speak, and Xu Zhi was silent when he saw this.
"Will there be someone behind Gao Mingde and Zhao Liang who is protecting them?" Tang Mingze said suddenly.
Several people didn't speak, in fact, they all had this suspicion in their hearts, but because there were six princes here, they didn't say anything.
If there is someone behind them, who can make the two of them shout in front of the six princes, then the identity of the person behind them will at least not be lower than that of the six princes......
If so, the scope is much narrower, but there is no one in that small range of people that they can afford to provoke.
"We have to talk about the evidence to find out, otherwise it will be difficult to block the mouth of Youyou." Ning Feng said in a deep voice.
"Alas, this evidence is hard to find, and now that we are in the clear, they will surely let those girls go." Tang Mingze opened his mouth and said.
"Now that we're in the spot, why don't we look for the girls with much fanfare? Maybe some of those girls will come out to testify against them, and the previous dismemberment case can also be dealt with strictly, since the six princes are already here, these cases will naturally have to be thoroughly investigated, even if they can't get a new step forward, it's good to make the murderer afraid. ”
Su Jinshi suddenly spoke, her voice was deep, "The more scared you are, the more you will show your feet." ”
Ning Xifeng glanced at Su Jinshi, and there was a look of appreciation in his eyes, "I think so too, but whether I can make the murderer scared is still unknown, but who is the murderer in the corpse case, but I already have a little guess in my heart." ”
Ning Xifeng paused, looked at Xu Zhi, and his eyes flashed, "Xu Zhi, the people of this yamen and the people in this mansion must not be trusted. ”
When Xu Zhi heard this, his face was complicated, but he still nodded with a stern expression, and he waved towards Ning Xifeng again, his voice was a little heavy, "The case in Lancheng has been out of trouble for a long time, and the prefect has changed several times, but no one has been able to solve the case, and the people are becoming more and more distrustful of the imperial court, and I only hope that the six princes can solve the case this time." ”
Ning Xifeng didn't answer, but Tang Mingze smiled and said, "It's natural." ”
Xu Zhi seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and he was confident, "In the future, I will follow the six princes, as long as the six princes command, I will definitely do it." ”
Ning Xifeng nodded, "You first go to the Qinglou in this city and ask which girls were ransomed by Gao Mingde and Zhao Liang, it is best to send a few people, and as soon as there is news, go directly to find those girls, if you find it, bring it back to the mansion first." ”
Xu Zhi nodded heavily, and immediately went down to order.
Ning Xifeng raised his eyes, glanced at the window next to him casually, and did not speak.
Su Jinshi suddenly picked up the pen and paper on the table, wrote down a few words, and handed them to Ning Xifeng.
Ning Xifeng opened the paper, and a few words were written on it:
Is someone eavesdropping?
Su Jinshi didn't use the question mark, Ning Xifeng nodded slightly, and the Tang brothers and sisters also walked over to look at the content on the paper, and subconsciously looked left and right a little after reading it.
"Alright, let's go back and rest first." Lu Ning said a little tiredly.
He crumpled the piece of paper given by Su Jinshi and squeezed it in his hand, then pushed the door and went out.
The remaining few people glanced at each other and went back to their rooms, and after returning to the room, Su Jinshi still felt weird.
Just when they were about to find out the murderer of the autopsy case, this case suddenly came out, and this case was like a branch of the main case, leading them to the other side.
They were now fully focused on the case, and it was as if the dismemberment had suddenly been forgotten......
This thought made Su Jinshi's heart skip a beat.
Was it intentional?
If it was deliberate, then Tang Yaxin must have been used as well, just to protect the murderer of the corpse case?
Could it be that the dismemberment case and the mastermind behind this case are the same person?
Thinking about it together, Su Jinshi only felt chills all over his body, the main envoy knew their every move, knew the relationship between Tang Yaxin and Ning Xifeng, and also knew Tang Yaxin's character......
If you think about it, from the very beginning of the case, it seems that they were expected to go down this path.
Meaning, what they did was expected?
Su Jinshi gasped, she immediately went out and pushed Nian Su's room open, only to see Nian Su sewing clothes for Xiao Douzi, and Xiao Douzi was quietly practicing calligraphy on the edge of the desk.
Her restless heart suddenly calmed down, but her face was still ugly.
When Nian Su saw Su Jinshi coming, he put down the work in his hand, and just wanted to speak, but saw that there was sweat on her face, so he asked, "What's wrong?" How can it be so hot? ”
As she spoke, Nian Su took Su Jinshi's hand, but felt that her hand was very cold, and she realized that Su Jinshi's expression was very wrong.
"Jinshi, what happened? Your hands are so ice. Nian Su warmed Su Jinshi's hand with his own hand.
Su Jinshi felt the warmth in her palm, and the warmth spread throughout her body through her hands, she smiled, her voice was a little hoarse: "It's okay, Susu, I'm fine." ”
Nian Su was silent, nodded, she pulled Su Jinshi to sit down, poured her a glass of water, Su Jinshi took the water cup, took a sip, and felt that her body was gradually returning to normal.
Xiaodouzi on the side was practicing calligraphy, and when he saw Su Jinshi coming, he said, "Aunt Jinshi, can you see if I write these words?" ”
Xiaodouzi's eyes were clear, and there was a serious expression on his little face, Su Jinshi smiled, walked to Xiaodouzi's side, and looked at what he wrote:
Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith.
These five words are simple to write, but very difficult to do, Su Jinshi thought of Gao Mingde and Zhao Liang in today's court.
Su Jinshi squatted down, reached out and touched Xiaodouzi's head, and praised: "Xiaodouzi writes very well, but although these five words are easy to write, it is not easy to do." ”
Xiaodouzi tilted her head and said, "Can Aunt Jin Shi tell me the meaning of these five words?" ”
"This benevolence is to ask us not only to consider our own feelings when doing things, but also to think about others, to take care of each other, righteousness means to help others when they are in trouble, etiquette is to be polite to others, no matter how rude the other party is, to give the other party basic respect."
Little Bean's eyes widened, and she kept nodding her head as she listened.
"This wisdom requires you to think more about everyday things, and faith is to make us honest and trustworthy." Su Jin said at the time.
At the end, she said: "Little Bean, we may meet many rude people in the future, I only hope that you will not become the same person as them because of anger, respect for others is basic courtesy." ”
Xiaodouzi nodded a little incomprehensibly, and then smiled, "I know, Aunt Jinshi." ”
Su Jinshi touched Xiaodouzi's head again, and said with a smile: "Good." ”
She thought about it, and still felt that she should tell her conjecture to Ning Xifeng, and now no one knew who the mastermind behind it was targeting, and several of them were in danger.
She made a decision in her heart, so she stood up and wanted to leave, she suddenly saw Xiaodouzi practicing calligraphy seriously, and Nian Su was sewing clothes with a soft face, and she suddenly felt a sour nose.
What if she never saw this again?
Just when the thought came out, Su Jinshi felt a cramp in her heart, and she shook her head.
This will not happen.
She wouldn't allow anything like that to happen.
