Because Zhao Ji suddenly changed his mind, almost all the suspects who should have been imprisoned in the Imperial City Division were taken away by the Criminal Department, almost meaning that there is an exception among them, and this exception is Zhong Yang, who was sentenced by Kaifeng Mansion!

In this case, he is actually the most innocent and the most inconspicuous one, except for the place where he is responsible has come forward to prevent Sun Tu and others from arresting the Gu family's father and son, he has almost nothing to do with it. However, because of this, he was easily ignored, even if Sun Tu did not hand it over to the officials who came to the Criminal Department, he did not notice anything wrong, at least there was no problem in handing it over a few days later.

But the more this was the case, the more panicked Zhong Tongju became, and he couldn't even guess how Sun Tu was going to deal with him. Especially today, when the door was suddenly opened, and Sun Tu appeared in front of him with a gloomy expression, he was even more frightened that his face turned pale and his body was weak, so he almost knelt down and begged for mercy: "Yue Hou, the lower official just went to stop it because of his duty, but I don't know that the Gu family really did such a thing...... All he can do is to try his best to excuse himself."

Sun Tu turned a deaf ear to his explanation, just approached and looked him up and down, seeing that Zhong Yang's heart became more and more frightened: "Yuehou, what do you want to do with the lower officials." I was so wronged. ”

"Ben Hou has checked, you are indeed innocent in this matter, so I did not hand you over to the people of the Criminal Department." Sun Tu finally opened his mouth and said slowly, but his face was still gloomy and terrifying: "But there are some things, not necessarily." ”

"Please also ask the Marquis to make it clear!" Only then did Zhong Yang understand that he had offended Sun Tu in other things. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't connect with this person who had only been in Beijing for a long time, so he could only ask hard.

Sun Tu sneered: "It seems that you do a lot of bad things on weekdays, but you don't know where you did something wrong." Let me ask you, do you still have any memory of the case of Zhou Xiong who injured people in the city a few months ago? ”

Zhong Yang frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and then his face changed slightly: "You...... Do you have an old relationship with that Zhou Xiong? ”

"Did you ask me or did I ask you? Ben Hou only asked you, do you remember that? ”

"Remember...... Remember. Zhong Yang's expression became more and more nervous, and his body subconsciously shrank back: "But the evidence of that crime is conclusive, Zhou Xiong did hurt people on the street that time, and many people watched, and it is a matter of course that the lower officials will put him in prison!" ”

"Yes, then I'm going to ask the last question, even if it's a felony, there is no reason not to be visited, why is he the only one who makes you make a strict order in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion that no one is allowed to come into contact?"

Unexpectedly, Sun Tu had even inquired about this, which made Zhong Yang twist his body even more uneasily: "This ...... The case has not yet been thoroughly decided, and he is a serious offender who has injured people, so the lower officials have to make this arrangement. ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" Sun Tu sneered again, took another step forward, bent down slightly, and leaned in front of him to stare at Zhong Yang's eyes: "Do you still want to hide some truth from me at this time?" Believe it or not, I can take your life right now, and promise that no one will find your whereabouts in the future! The eyes full of murderous intent on Shang Sun Tu immediately brought Zhong Yang to the brink of collapse. In the end, he was just a six-grade petty official, even though he looked majestic on weekdays, but once compared to a high-level official like the Marquis, he still existed insignificant, and he knew that what Sun Tu said was true.

He couldn't stand it anymore in a cold sweat, and immediately shouted: "I said, I was also entrusted by someone to do this, and it was Yang Langzhong of the Criminal Department who asked me to keep him in prison and not let anyone contact him." ”

This answer was also expected by Sun Tu, thinking that he was a six-grade general judge, how could he really dare to make an assertion, not to mention that this matter didn't seem to have much to do with him: "Yang Langzhong, why did he do this?" ”

"This ...... This subordinate is unknown. Yue Hou, the lower officials have told the truth, and I hope you will raise your noble hand......"

"I'm not busy, what the hell is going on, we have to check it first. But before that, you have to answer me again, in a homicide case that happened in the capital last year, it was the old man Zhou Tong who was killed, did you handle this matter? ”

This question made Zhong Yang obviously stunned for a moment, but he still answered honestly: "Exactly." The case has long been closed, and it was a few splashes in the city who came to the door to rob the property and clashed with the deceased, so they accidentally killed someone. They have also been severely punished and distributed......"

"Do you think I'll believe it? Do you know who Zhou Dong was? This time, Zhong Yang shook his head a little dazedly, and Sun Tu snorted: "He is my mentor, half of my skills are derived from his guidance, and he is a rare martial arts master in the world, will such a character be injured by a few skin-throwing thieves?" ”

Zhong Yang was really shocked this time, and looked at Sun Tu in surprise, unable to even speak. And Sun Tu continued: "Also, that Zhou Xiong is also his old man's nephew, you know what I mean, right?" ”

Zhong Yang's face changed again, of course he knew the meaning of Sun Tu's words - Zhou Xiong could easily injure more than a dozen splashes and kill two people, so how could Zhou Dong be easily killed? Also, Zhou Xiong did this, which proves one point, the murderer who killed Zhou Dong is actually at large, and the case that was broken before is wrong!

And now he not only arbitrarily judged the case and indulged the real murderer, but also imprisoned Zhou Xiong, who avenged his teacher, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he was covering up the real murderer. It doesn't matter, the most important thing is that the deceased Zhou Tong actually had a disciple named Sun Tu, and now he has fallen into his hands!

At this moment, Zhong Yang was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, and after a while, he exclaimed: "Yuehou, Yuehou, you listen to my explanation." Xiaguan, Xiaguan really didn't know that there were such twists and turns in this case. The deceased ...... Mr. Zhou had multiple wounds on his body, and his eyes were also fascinated by lime, so he was probably attacked by someone, and then he was killed by those splashes. Moreover, after that, Xia Guan did carefully investigate the scene of the murder, and also visited the local neighborhood, and learned that there had indeed been a group of splashes to disturb before this, so he determined that they were the murderers, and arrested and interrogated all of them. These people also confessed during the court trial, saying that they were found to have coveted the old man's belongings to steal, which led to his murder. ”

Sun Tu looked at him with his eyebrows, listening to him tell what had happened, and the question in his heart not only did not solve, but deepened: "That's it?" ”

"That's it, although the lower officials sometimes do some wrong things, but I don't dare to arbitrarily come to the big murder case, and I dare to decide the case when there is conclusive evidence. If the Hou Ye doesn't believe it, he can go to Kaifeng Mansion to check the relevant files, which are all recorded. If I have a lie, just call the sword of the lower official to add to the body, and I will not die! Zhong Yang was really scared this time, and he actually began to swear and swear.

In this way, it also made Sun Tu more suspicious in his heart, could it be that things were not what he thought before, this Zhong Yang was really innocent?

But after thinking about it, he thought of Zhou Xiong's matter again, so he asked again: "What should I say about Zhou Xiong's matter?" Have you asked him why he hurts? Also, why did Yang Langzhong of the Criminal Department suddenly intervene in this matter? Don't you think it's weird? ”

"Master Hou, you don't know, as long as it is a big case, after my Kaifeng Mansion is approved, it must first be submitted to the Yamen of the Criminal Department for review, and Yang Langzhong is the review official of this case. So it makes sense for him to intervene in this case. As for not allowing others to come into contact with such repeat offenders, there have been precedents in the past, which is not too strange, and the lower officials naturally dare not question it. ”

Seeing that Sun Tu seemed to still have suspicions, Zhong Yang, who was already frightened and shaken, no longer made any reservations, and continued: "And there is also a reason for this matter, originally Zhou Xiong was going to be decided in the autumn of this year, but because His Majesty had another son to amnesty the world, he was executed two months ago, and he continued to be in prison. It was after this that Yang Langzhong suddenly passed down the word, telling us to see people to death, and not to let anyone contact them at will, and the lower officials were just acting on orders. ”

After Sun Tu heard this, his heart moved again, there were still such twists and turns in things. In this way, if it weren't for the emperor's amnesty, Zhou Xiongdu would have been a dead man at this time! This made him happy, and the suspicion of Yang Langzhong in his heart was even greater: "What is the name of Yang Langzhong in the Criminal Department?" "There are several of the six Lang in the imperial court, although Sun Tu knows that there is a Yang Lang in the Criminal Department, but he doesn't know if it is that person.

"It's Yang Huaichang and Yang Lang, and many important cases have been reviewed by him. By the way, it was the case of Mr. Zhou's murder, and in the end, he did a retrial, and it was checked that it was correct before the case was finally decided. In order to prove his innocence, Zhong Yang really knows everything and says everything, which is very different from the cold appearance in Kaifeng Mansion in the past.

And after hearing this, Sun Tu's expression changed again, is there such a coincidental thing in this world? It seems that there is really something wrong with this Yang Huaichang. But then, he frowned again, Yang Huaichang, isn't that the official of the Criminal Department who was implicated in the Gu family's case, there is such a coincidence?

If only the case was still in his own hands, he could easily find out the truth from Yang Huaichang's mouth, but now...... After a little silence, he could only retreat: "I want to go to the prison to see Zhou Xiong, don't tell me that I can't even do this little thing." ”

At this time, his own life was in Sun Tu's hands, how dare Zhong Yang say nothing, and nodded immediately: "Of course, as long as you take the official's waist card, you can easily enter the prison and inquire about relevant matters." ”
