Zhanzhao escorted the "female ghost" and Liu Zheng and a group of people they caught back to Kaifeng Mansion. The net is worth your collection......

At this time, in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Zhen was also there.

Bao Zheng and Taishi accompanied them with teacups, the three of them talked and laughed, and there were family-heirloom snacks made by Mrs. Bao on the table. Zhao Zhen seemed to have a good appetite, so he ate a few, and said that he would pack it up and take it back for Concubine Pang and the Queen Mother to taste.

Zhan Zhao and the others came in with Liu Zheng.

As soon as Liu Zheng entered the door and saw Zhao Zhen, he instantly felt that he still had some hope...... After all, for the sake of the dead Concubine Mei, Zhao Zhen may be merciful to his subordinates? Otherwise, Zhao Zhen would not have come all the way from the palace here.

Zhao Pu glanced at Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen gave him a slight look, and Zhao Pu knew in his heart...... Liu Zheng is not honest, and it is difficult to pry his mouth open! If you know that you are going to die, you will definitely bite it to death, and it will be a day to drag it out. But if he is given a glimmer of life, he should be honest and confess, Zhao Zhen is here to give him this illusion. Zhao Pu still knows Zhao Zhen, with what Liu Zheng did, especially the one where he blew up the wall of the prison and wanted to let the prisoners enter Kaifeng City to create chaos, not to mention that he is Concubine Mei's cousin, even if it is Concubine Mei's father, Zhao Zhen has to kill him!

Liu Zheng and the other three scholars were all pressed to the side, kneeling down to wait for interrogation, while the other was the "ghost daughter-in-law" of the Jin family.

Zhanzhao asked people to find several old people who had seen the granddaughter-in-law of the Jin family back then, and everyone looked at it at a glance and said that this girl was almost exactly the same as the granddaughter-in-law of the Jin family, and her appearance was seven or eight points similar, but it was slightly different.

So, everyone looked at the young woman, in terms of age, if Jin Jia's daughter-in-law was still alive, of course, under the premise that people were not ghosts, they should not be so young.

"What's your name?" Zhanzhao asked her, "Why did you sneak attack?" ”

The girl blinked her eyes, glanced coldly at Liu Zheng and the others who were kneeling beside her, and said, "They should die!" ”

After saying that, she shut up.

Zhan Zhao pointed at Bai Yutang and asked her, "It was also your people who attacked him that night?" Archery is the same, who did you learn your archery with? ”

The woman didn't speak, just frowned.

Zhao Zhen touched his chin with interest, this girl is probably the reason why the Jin family has been haunted for a long time, but I don't know what her purpose is to pretend to be a ghost.

However, this woman didn't look like she could speak lightly, so Zhanzhao asked her to take her to temporary detention and interrogate Liu Zheng and a few of them first.

The four of them had already turned their faces at this time, and the three scholars looked at Liu Zheng and seemed to be very dissatisfied, and said in a low voice, "You actually want to kill us!" ”

Liu Zheng sighed, if it weren't for these people's mistakes, they wouldn't be in this situation.

Master Bao glanced around, and saw that the three scholars exchanged glances with each other, and it could be seen that they were probably going to blame Liu Zheng for all the faults, and thought that letting them eat the dog was the best way to interrogate.

At this time, with the same thoughts as Lord Bao, of course, there is also Master Pang. Taishi "tsk" twice, shook his head, and his tone of voice seemed to be helping Liu Zheng intercede, and it seemed to be figuring out the holy will to help him play a round, and his tone was also a little underwhelming, "Oh, Lord Liu, how did you get involved in this rivers and lakes?" ”

Everyone glanced at Master Pang, what does that mean-right and wrong?

Lin Yehuo squinted at Zou Liang, that means - the old man owes a cigarette!

Zou Liang couldn't laugh and cry at him--adults talked, children don't interject.

Lin Yehuo grinded his teeth and reached out to pinch a little flesh on Zou Liang's arm, and then pinched it desperately, so painful that Zou Liang shook his hand.

And Liu Zheng saw hope - sure enough, Zhao Zhen came to intercede for himself, and there was still a way to live!

Gongsun squinted at Zhao Pu - what's the matter with your relatives?

Zhao Pu shook his head at him - don't be impatient!

"Lord Liu, hurry up." The Taishi urged, "If you are confused for a while, you should be honest and confess, and you can't hide it!" Saying that, he winked at him, "This is the last chance!" ”

Liu Zheng hurriedly nodded.

The three scholars saw that they knew that Liu was the emperor's prince, and if he was allowed to say it first, they might put all the fault on them, so they also preemptively said that they wanted to confess and beg for a lighter sentence.

At this time, Zhao Zhen, who had been drinking tea without speaking, put down the teacup and said, "Let's talk about it on both sides." ”

And all the people looked at him.

Zhao Zhen finally glanced at Liu Zheng, who was kneeling aside, and said slowly, "Separate the two courtyards and say, Mr. Gongsun and Bao Yan take a pen and paper to write down every sentence for me, if any sentence is not right......" Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen paused slightly, looking at Bao Zheng, "Bao Qing." ”

"Wechen is here." Master Bao stood up.

"Lift the guillotine out and put it here." Zhao Zhen's eyes were cold, "If there is a difference between the two confessions, all four of them will be cut by me, and there is no need to retry them." ”

"Yes." Master Bao agreed, and asked Wang Dynasty Mahan to take the three scholars to the courtyard next door.

Therefore, if the two confessions want to be completely consistent, then the only way is to tell the truth!

At this time, the people in Kaifeng Mansion were also divided into two parts, one part stayed here to listen to Liu Zheng, and the other part went next door to listen to those scholars.

…… In the end, the two confessions were put together for comparison, except for a slight difference in tone, they were basically the same, and these two confessions also unlocked an unknown secret behind the tragedy of the Jin family. To tell the truth, the Jin family did invite disaster and bumped into a "ghost", but this "ghost" is by no means the granddaughter-in-law, but these "money-greedy" ghosts!

Liu Zheng and Xie Yiting, who died unexpectedly before, as well as these scholars, were all students of Taixue, and they were all ambitious. It's a pity that there is a mountain and a mountain high, this Taixue gathered almost all the smart people in the world, and after entering Taixue, a few people found that with their own talents, it is really difficult to get ahead, and if you want to take the top prize, it is simply impossible...... Not to mention the champion, whether you can enter the palace test smoothly is a question.

So, a few people who quickly recognized the reality chose another path, that is, like many students, to make friends with powerful people and prepare for the future way out.

There is nothing wrong with that.

By chance, Liu Zheng and others got acquainted with Jin Shan, who was older than them, and in the relationship, they discovered a secret.

Jin Shan's personality is changeable, the day before he was very kind, the next day he became very irritable, or sometimes a little wooden, sometimes suddenly smart and clever. Liu Zheng and the others felt strange. Later, they found out that Jin Shan was originally a pair of twins pretending, an elder brother and a younger brother, who looked the same but had completely different personalities, the elder brother was very smart and could do things, while the younger brother was very wooden, very honest, and even a little stupid.

After Liu Zheng discovered Jin Shan's secret, he was puzzled, he and his friend Xie Yiting had studied it privately - the Jin family is extremely wealthy, even if there are twin sons, so what? Why pretend to have only one son? There must be a secret in it, and this secret must also be profitable!

As a result, Liu Zheng and others, who had evil intentions, began to secretly investigate the secrets of the Jin family.

After staring at Jin Shan for a few days, they found that the brothers who pretended to be Jin Shan, the shrewd and capable elder brother had nothing on his back, and the honest younger brother had a very strange tattoo on his back, which was a single-headed, three-headed Jin Tuo statue.

Xie Yiting met some friends who resold dirty things at that time, and learned from those people about the three-headed Jintuo who cheated and gathered wealth, and later the three-headed Jintuo split up, and the three masters parted ways, and their fates were also different, but the legend said that the three-headed Jintuo had accumulated a lot of wealth, so Liu Zheng paid attention to these wealth.

They found out that the Jin family was building a huge gold statue with a large amount of gold in the back mountain, so they used Jin Shan's secret as a condition to blackmail the old man Jin. Old Man Jin gave them a hush money of almost 100,000 taels of gold, and after they got this huge wealth, there was a farce of stealing the test papers. Taixue expelled everyone, without the shackles of Taixue, several people began to do business, and those who became officials became officials, and in the end they all made a small fortune, and Liu Zheng also had smooth official luck all the way. On the contrary, the Jin family fell into decline, gradually decayed, and finally almost completely destroyed.

After all, they have done something wrong, Liu Zheng and others have always been worried about the haunting of the Jin family, before Xie Yiting was killed, they had already found that the Jin family was a little strange, so Liu Zheng kept an eye on it and let the three scholars go to the prison for a while. Xie Yiting refused to listen to Liu Zheng, and died outside...... Liu Zheng knew that Kaifeng Mansion was investigating the case, and he wanted to wait for the limelight to pass, but he didn't expect the case to get bigger and bigger, so he wanted to escape.

……

After reading the confession, Zhanzhao frowned slightly.

Zhao Pu said, "There should be something else that hasn't been said." ”

Gongsun also nodded, "If it's just extorting money, how can the Jin family be wiped out?" And if it is only extortion of money and does not involve human life, the sin is not death! But on the one hand, Liu Zheng wanted to kill people and kill people, and on the other hand, he did not hesitate to release the prisoners to open the seal in a disorderly manner to get out. If you hadn't felt that your sin was unforgivable, you wouldn't have escaped at such a big price, right? ”

Bai Yutang also nodded, "There should be something to hide?" ”

Zhan Zhao shook the two confessions, "They should have discussed it before." ”

"What then?" Gongsun asked.

"Easy to do." Zhao Pu took both confessions, "We don't have to think about it." After speaking, Zhao Pu went to give the confession to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took the two copies and compared them for a while, and after reading them, he put them on the table and said to Bao Dada, "It's different, it's all slaughtered." ”

……

Everyone looked at each other, and it was clearly the same...... Liars don't even blink!

Lord Bao stood up and said to Wang Dynasty Mahan, "Please take the head of the dragon and the head of the dog......"

"Alas, alas......" Taishi hurriedly stopped, "Slow down, slow down." As he spoke, the Taishi asked Liu Zheng, whose faces were all pale, and the three scholars who were trembling, "Think twice!" Life matters at this time! ”

The three scholars were timid, thinking that Liu Zheng might have told them very well, but secretly pulled them back, so they hurriedly said, "Yes...... It's a little unsaid. ”

Master Bao asked them to continue to explain.

Everyone looked at Taishi and Master Bao, and said in their hearts that this red-faced and white-faced singing......

……

At this time, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi outside jumped back hand in hand, and behind them were Xiao Wu who was yawning and Tianzun and Yin Hou who were also yawning.

The little fourth son ran to the yard, and when he saw that many people were there, even Zhao Zhen came, the little guy was happy...... Everyone is busy these days, and no one cares too much about the competition.

Zhao Zhen looked at the little fourth son who ran towards him, and he was in a good mood, and Liu Zheng's little was also left behind by him, and he reached out to pick up the little fourth son and put it on his lap.

The little fourth son sat on Zhao Zhen's lap, and as usual, reached out to pat Pang Taishi's belly.

Taishi LeheheheHehe brought him snacks to eat.

The little fourth son was holding a snack, and he saw Liu Zheng kneeling beside him with his head bowed.

Xiao Sizi looked at him, touched his chin, and then kept tilting his head and looking at Liu Zheng.

"It's the same."

Just when everyone was waiting for the three scholars, the fourth son suddenly pointed at Liu Zheng and said a word.

Zhao Zhen looked in the direction of Xiao Sizi's finger, puzzled, "What is the same?" ”

"Birthmarks behind the ears." Xiao Sizi said.

Everyone was puzzled, but Liu Zheng subconsciously covered the back of his ears, and his face became even paler.

Ochre walked over and broke him open...... I saw that behind Liu Zheng's ear, near the root of the hair, there was a round mole-like thing, which seemed to be a brand if you looked closely, and the shape was a snake's head, which was somewhat familiar.

The crowd looked at each otherβ€”almost the same as the one on the left inside the three-headed golden top.

Zhan Zhao asked the little fourth son, "Have you seen the same one before?" ”

The little fourth son nodded.

Gongsun hurriedly asked, "Where have you seen it?" ”

Xiao Sizi pointed to the ground.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Gongsun together.

Gongsun opened his mouth wide, "Have you seen it in Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

"Hmm......" The little fourth son looked up and thought, is it Kaifeng Mansion? The yard looks pretty much the same......

Everyone gasped, and Master Bao also put down the cup and asked the fourth son, "Could it be someone from Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

Xiao Sizi shook his head and tilted his head, as if he was not very sure, "It's a guest......"

Zhan Zhao asked, "Do you remember what your name was?" ”

Although everyone heard Zhan Zhao ask this, they still felt that it was not very reliable, and it was strange that the fourth son could remember a whole name!

Who knew that the fourth son said three words aloud, "Yue Changfeng!" ”

Everyone was stunned.

"Yue Changfeng?" Master Pang also wondered, "You said the dean of Qiankun Academy?" ”

The little fourth son nodded.

Everyone understands why the little fourth son can call Yue Changfeng's name, the little guy is currently studying the countermeasures for the competition of the four academies, so he naturally knows who the dean of Qiankun Academy is.

Zhan Zhao also remembered that when Yue Changfeng went to see Lin Xiao that day, Xiao Sizi said that he was going to the toilet, so Zhan Zhao took him for a trip, and when he came back, Yue Changfeng happened to go out, and Xiao Sizi was indeed staring at the back of the old man, and it turned out that he was looking at the "mole". Probably the fourth son also thinks it is strange, why does someone have a birthmark in the shape of a snake's head......

However, everyone can see that this is not a mole, nor a birthmark, but a brand, which is formed by someone who burns the metal in the shape of a snake's head and burns it on the skin.

Everyone thought that Yue Changfeng was weird before, and he had been doing it for a long time, and he still had something to do with Liu Zheng? Coupled with the weird snake head and the three-headed golden statue, dare to love this big old man and have a side job......

Zhao Pu asked the shadow guards to go next door to check the situation of the three scholars, and found that they did not have that mark behind their ears. At this time, the three scholars also confessed that they were under Liu Zheng's orders, and Liu Zheng was under the orders of others.

After the three-headed Jintuo bulk goods of that year, they went their own way, among which the right head and the middle head have disappeared, but the left head has always been zΓ i, and Liu Zheng is the person of the left faction! Their business has changed from the original pit and abduction to small fights, to blackmail large families, and specifically find the descendants of those former members of the three-headed Jintuo. In order to avoid repeating the fate of being targeted by the imperial court for too many crimes committed by the three-headed Jin Tuo, they were more careful and must cut the grass and eradicate the roots every time they finished the business.

In addition, the main thing for them is to find the three paintings that have been handed down from that time, in order to find the legendary huge wealth. Liu Zheng used his identity as the head of the prison to do a lot of bad things, killing many people, and collecting countless fortunes at the same time.

Originally, it was carried out unknowingly, but the Jin family suddenly began to haunt the ghosts, and it seemed that they intended to expose the matter of the three-headed Jin Tuo to the Kaifeng Mansion, which aroused the suspicion and investigation of the government, so Liu Zheng and the others began to be nervous.

Zhan Zhao and the others roughly sorted out the confessions of the people and basically determined that there were two groups of people who committed crimes in this case.

On one side is Liu Zheng and the mysterious "left-headed" faction that has stayed behind and developed to this day.

On the other side are the people of the Jin family, or "ghosts".

However, there was a strange thing here, which made Zhanzhao and the others puzzled.

Originally, the context of the case was quite clear, and the left-headed faction, Liu Zheng and others killed the Jin family back then.

And this woman is so similar to the granddaughter-in-law of the Jin family back then, plus the "zombie" who looked exactly like Jin Shan before, these are likely to be the heirs of the Jin family back then, and the Jin family should still be alive, so this time I came back to take revenge.

This was originally a grudge between the Jin family and the left faction, as those scholars said, the goal of the Jin family was to make the Kaifeng Mansion pay attention to the three-headed Jin Tuo case, the death of Xie Yiting, Pei Qin and others, the theft of the painting, the richer who were scared by the ghost daughter-in-law, and the zombies who ran back to the Jin family to draw their attention to the Qiankun Academy...... and so on, it is all the descendants of the Jin family who are taking revenge.

However, I don't know why, there was a sudden deviation on the way, and one party pointed the finger at Wu Yicao...... According to the situation of the Jin family's archery plot against Liu Zheng, it is inferred that it is the descendants of the Jin family who are targeting Wu Yijiao, not the leftist faction, and it is a sudden idea...... Why is that?

Originally, the grievances between the two parties involved Wu Yiwu - if you had to find a reason, everyone thought of those three paintings at the same time!

The descendants of the Jin family obviously used archery techniques derived from Wu Yicao...... Will there be any entanglements or misunderstandings? Originally, the Jin family was just taking revenge, but they stumbled upon Wu Yicao's existence, so they derived the attack on Wu Yicao? In this way, in the Jin family, is there a sick scholar, or is it the enemy of General Youlian back then?

……

After reading all the confessions of the three scholars in detail, Zhao Zhen asked Liu Zheng, "What else do you have to add?" ”

Seeing that he had been exposed, Liu Zheng hurriedly crawled at Zhao Zhen's feet and begged for mercy, begging Zhao Zhen to leave him alive in front of Concubine Mei, he could help contact the faction on the left, only he could contact them.

Zhao Zhen stared at him for a while, but he smiled, shook his head, and said, "Not necessarily, isn't there a Yue Changfeng who has the same mark as you?" This mark shows that the status of the two of you in the left-headed faction should be the same, so you know, Yue Changfeng also knows, if you can contact it, Yue Changfeng should also be able to contact it. ”

Everyone glanced at each other - it seemed that Zhao Zhen did not plan to keep Liu Zheng.

Zhao Zhen gently turned the wrench on his thumb and said, "On the contrary, if I don't kill you, I will leave you in the world, with the cautious and cautious style of the left head, it should be convenient, maybe the line in Kaifeng will be broken, isn't it?" ”

Liu Zheng looked at Zhao Zhen, who was speaking lightly and with a shallow smile on his face......

"Why don't you do it." Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "For the sake of Concubine Mei, I will give you a whole corpse, do you want wine, or three-foot white silk, pick one yourself." ”

Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion did not speak, and Taishi did not really want to intercede for Liu Zheng, so he was happy to drink tea on the side and watch his son-in-law establish the emperor.

Zhan Zhao and the others felt that it was too cheap to die when they thought that Liu Zheng had done so many bad things, and they didn't get rid of their hatred when they split their bodies.

Liu Zheng trembled like chaff at this time, lying on the ground and begging Zhao Zhen to spare his life.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand at Nangong Ji, that means - hurry up and slaughter, it's too much to look at!

……

Although the prison chaos did not run out, the prisoners still frightened the people of Kaifeng, and what happened next was that Liu Zheng was corrected, and the murder of the Jin family also surfaced, and the three scholars who cooperated with Liu Zheng did not run away, and they were all beheaded. However, the details of the case released to the public did not involve the three-headed Jintuo and the left-headed faction, and used Liu Zheng's first confession.

The people of Kaifeng feel that the Jin family is pitiful, and the original ghost house has become less terrible, and at the same time they feel that Liu Zheng is hateful, and Zhao Zhen is really fair, and he is not soft on the emperor at all.

And for everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, it is not only that Liu Zheng was beheaded, but what is even more exciting is that the original confusing case has been officially sorted out, and now everyone has to solve two things, one is to ask about the situation of the Jin family and solve the mystery of the disaster of Wu Yiyi. The second is to secretly investigate Yue Changfeng, find out the leftist who does all kinds of evil but are cautious, and completely eradicate this scourge!
