Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Qinhuai Chapter 066 Sky Lantern Tribulation, Gathering Tigers, Leopards and Jackals

"Big ...... It's him, my lord! It's him! The little slave was lighting the lamp by the lake, but there was a strong wind, and the sky lantern in the little slave's hand blew to another place as soon as it was lit. It's not good! The little slave thought to himself, this is the blessing of the prince of our dynasty, how can he despise it? So, the little slave immediately went desperately to chase the sky lantern, and when he unconsciously walked to the jungle in the distance, the little slave wanted to retrieve the sky lantern and hurried back. Behold...... Behold! Unexpectedly, I found out that this cheap slave actually wanted to escape from prison! ”

The first to speak was Suspect No. 1, a man of medium age, with a bearded face, some uneven teeth, and a faint smell of foul smell between opening and closing.

"My lord, he's talking nonsense, he's talking nonsense!"

Suspect No. 2 shook his head again and again, he moved his knees frantically, stopped under the wind man's boots and tried his best to argue, the snow-covered grass was cold, his cold clothes could not withstand it, and his knees were already soaked.

"The little slave's name is Zhang Jibao, his ancestral home is miserly, half a year ago in order to avenge the murder of his father, he did a long job in the enemy's house for a year, and finally designed a fire to burn the enemy's family, and finally avenged the revenge of killing his father, and later resigned from the old mother of the family, and went to Qinhuai to surrender. According to Li Sang's decree, today is the day to visit relatives, in order to catch up with the time to visit relatives, the old mother began to set off from Mizhou three days ago, she is old and her legs are not good, when she arrived in Qinhuai, it was already night, although she hurried slowly, but still missed the time to visit relatives,"

As she spoke, tears poured out, "When she heard that the prisoner in prison tonight was temporarily released, she came here late at night to see the little slave, who knows, when she saw her, her face and hands were covered with blood!" God knows, she'...... How did she get here with a cane alone......" choked words that could not have been clearer.

The sound is like sadness, and Xiao Xiao is gripping. The prisoners by the lake leaned over in twos and threes, some of them had dull eyes with lanterns, some did not dare to look directly at the corpse, and some of their hearts fell into an eternal memory like a knife, and no one dared to make a sound, only the smiling north wind did not understand the joys and sorrows of the world, and walked through the cracks of people by himself, so he was not comfortable.

The cold wind blew, and the voice suddenly became terrible, "Unexpectedly, the wind and snow are too strong, and when the little slave sees her again, she and the little slave say a few words, and then freeze to death in the snow!" And this person, who fled to the forest alone, was accidentally bumped into by the slave and other patrolling officials, and he tried to escape from prison, so he saw the opportunity to use the slave as a shield and frame the slave! Suspect No. 2 Zhang Jibao swept his eyebrows angrily, with tears in his eyes, and raised his finger to approach Suspect No. 1.

Shocked by the words of dripping blood, everyone's surprised eyes quietly moved in the direction pointed by their fingers.

Frightened by this compelling gaze, Suspect No. 1 suddenly panicked, his chapped five fingers clenched tightly the lantern in his hand, and his brows hooked.

"You're clearly quibbling! What you say is only your words, just ask, how can an old woman who is over the age of sixtieth appear in such a place? You keep saying that she is your mother, how can you prove that she is your mother? How can you prove that she just said these things to you? Dare to ask, who of you here can prove the truth of what you just said? With that, he swept back and forth through the crowd.

For a long time, everyone's eyes fell silent.

Seeing this, he swore and continued: "Since there is no one present to testify, then I can only tell you

Can the man who says this prove it for you? ”

was stared at by everyone's scorching gaze, Zhang Jibao's trembling fingers still stopped in mid-air, unable to say a word.

"This man you're talking about is lying here motionless! How can a dead man testify? The wind man asked coldly as he played with the whip in his hand, and then sneered at the two of them.

"That's right! How can a dead man testify? Unless she can speak! ”

When a dead man speaks, there is a ghost. These words could not help but make people laugh a little, as if they had not encountered such a comical comical excitement for a long time, and a few prisoners began to follow the wind man behind him.

Suspect No. 1 hooked the corners of his mouth, and then said: "A dead man can't speak, so naturally he can't testify!" And the little slave saw with his own eyes that this cheap slave was sneaking around in the jungle, ready to escape from prison! When he was captured by the officer, he still had a corpse by his side! ”

"This point, the broken lantern in the hands of the little slave, can prove it for the little slave! And the little slave did see it with his own eyes, this cheap slave wants to escape from prison! As he spoke, he hurriedly held the lantern in both hands and held it high above his head.

"Even if he wanted to escape from prison, how could he have any connection with this dead old woman?" Fengren raised his eyes and suddenly asked.

"Perhaps, this cheap slave will be the first to escape from prison and the last to kill!"

If you seek skin with the tiger, you should be complicit. Suspect No. 1 grinned and smiled coldly.

"Shut up! She's my mother! How can you be so blasphemous! She traveled for three days and three nights, just to see me! Now her bones are not cold, but she will be pointed at by you for no reason! What the hell did my mother and I do wrong! Why are you doing this to us! Why"

Sadness went against the current, anger erupted, and he couldn't hold back his grief and indignation, Zhang Jibao raised his buried head high, and his slender eyelashes were dyed with ice crystal snowflakes, which was even more poignant, questioning everyone, as if questioning the sky.

Afraid that the wind would hesitate, Suspect No. 1 immediately made a decision and asked for instructions: "My lord, tonight is my banquet for the crown prince, my emperor's holy grace, temporarily pardon the prisoners, and pray for His Royal Highness the prince, this is a great blessing!" This is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes! And this cheap slave wanted to escape and committed a murder! This is clearly a deception of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and a great disrespect to our Emperor! Please also ask your Excellency to make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to delay the major affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

After speaking, he secretly raised his eyes and smiled secretly at the suspect Zhang Jibao, the second suspect next to him, his eyebrows and eyes were full of pride.

"He looks like a sharp-beaked monkey gill, and he is also flamboyant when he speaks, but it is not unreasonable," the Feng man, who was moved by the suspect No. 1, raised his eyes, waved his hand gently, and summoned a few wind people, teasing: "Time is tight, it's too late to sort it out, dig out the kidneys, rip out the gall, or whatever, buddy look like you can play!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the prisoners and slaves present all took a step back, and they all looked at Zhang Jibao in the snow, their faces were full of quiet and gloomy color, and no one noticed that a certain lantern slipped quietly from the palm of a slave......

Frightened by a few words, Suspect No. 1 used his will to hold his composure, but his whole heart was still beating wildly, and he was about to die tragically......

"Wait!"

The melodious voice emerged from the crowd, attracting everyone to follow the sound frequently

Look. I saw that in the crowd, a female prisoner came out.

"How can a case of human death be easily convicted because of his lack of evidence?" Stepping on the broken snow, stepping into this four-person game within the game, Bai Bait was quite calm: "If you speculate according to this method, then I have a question for the eldest brother who holds the lantern." ”

The phoenix's eyes turned slightly, and a faint gaze fell on Suspect No. 1.

He thought that some god wanted to mess with his situation, but he didn't expect it to be a pitiful little woman, and Suspect No. 1 was no longer afraid of anything, he said softly to the beauty: "Tell me about it." ”

"Big brother from beginning to end, he is determined, the sky lantern is blown to the forest by the wind, and you witness the crime scene because you pick up the lamp. So, are you sure that the sky lantern in your hand at this moment must be the one blown away by the wind? ”

Bai Bait smiled lightly and asked slowly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but suspect that if the sky lantern in the hand of Suspect No. 1 was fake, then he was lying from beginning to end!

At this moment, everyone is waiting for the answer of Suspect No. 1.

"This is a sky lantern for the blessing of the crown prince, it is extremely valuable, how could I be mistaken! I'm sure this lantern is the first one! "Suspect No. 1 is not afraid of the question of beautiful women, he just thinks it is a fearless teasing, what's more, if the answer is no, then isn't he slapping himself in the face and digging his own grave again??

Hearing this, Bai Bait couldn't help laughing, she thought about it, moved to the side of Suspect No. 1, took the sky lantern, and held it high in front of everyone.

Suspect No. 1's heartstrings straightened, and Zhang Jibao also raised his eyes and looked at the sky lantern again in puzzlement.

"Look, this lantern is obviously different from the others."

Although the sky lantern was slightly wrinkled by Suspect No. 1, the original traces on the sky lantern were not damaged. Everyone pulled their eyes in and shook their heads in twos and threes, indicating that they didn't notice anything different.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Bait took the fire fold and lit the sky lantern again. The scorching fire instantly illuminated the crimson sky lantern again, and gradually, a few words appeared on the lamp.

"Birthday Jile."

Bai Bait slowly flicked the sky lantern in his hand, trying to let more people see this bright truth: "Since it is the prince's birthday, the little slave has left a little more thought, thinking of writing a few words of blessing on the lamp, which can be regarded as praying for His Royal Highness the prince." ”

If she is asked to pray for the werewolf, it is absolutely impossible!

The prison was wide open, the prisoners were ordered to light the lamp, and the entire Julong City was like a labyrinth, and it must be very difficult for Li Yu to meet her, so she thought of a way to write on the sky lantern and tried to remind Li Yu.

It is reasonable to leave words on the sky lantern, but if the content on the lamp is too direct, this move is likely to be detected by the secret sentinel hidden in Julong City, and she will also be burned.

However, these scattered words are pieced together, which is another layer of meaning, if Li Yu is lucky enough to see these sky lanterns, this layer of meaning, he must be able to understand it.

But who would have expected that her small mind has now become a key clue in this case.

Before the case, the slave put these words with blessings in the night sky, and due to the wind and snow, some sky lanterns were accidentally blown down. Looking at it now, it is obvious that this eldest brother has picked up my sky lantern. In other words, the sky lantern he insisted on was clearly fake! ”
