At this time, Jing Ting subconsciously looked at Sanyu.

Sanyu also sighed in his heart inexplicably because of Jiang Chengyi's seemingly unintentional question. He settled down and said calmly: "Xia Guan thought that if this matter was related to Deng Yuan, then the large amount of sulfur powder and charcoal powder needed for the explosion must be prepared in advance, and it must be quietly sent to the capital and transported into the Deng Mansion. Prompted by this idea, Xia Guan specially sent people to look for witnesses in the alleys around Deng's mansion. Really... Someone saw with their own eyes that four or five days ago, Deng Yuan had transported eight wooden boxes into the mansion at night, when the streets were empty and quiet. The subordinate noticed that there was something wrong with this, so he told the commander the next day and investigated it carefully with him... It was only from the records of Caoyun and the porter who transported the goods at the ferry that he learned the clues that black powder had fallen in the wooden box. ”

His explanation is reasonable.

But Jiang Chengyi felt that things were not so simple.

Just as he was thinking about this matter carefully, the little official guarding the side hall hurriedly came to report: "Lord Chief, the two captains of the guard... Please see you, Lord Lieutenant. ”

Jing Ting was a little impatient and said, "Didn't you tell him to wait for a while?" ”

The little official lowered his head, bowed in front of the hall and said, "The captain has urged several times... It is required that at this time, Shangshu Zuo Cheng and Master Wang He will be judged at night. ”

Jiang Chengyi was strange, even surprised.

He didn't know why Deng Guozhong was in such a hurry to finalize the case? Without carefully investigating the culprit behind this scene? If this crime is really planted on the head of Wang He, the master of Deng Yuanfu, it is inevitable that His Majesty will not have doubts about his testimony...

Jing Ting also showed a puzzled look.

On the seat, Sanyu seemed to be the only one with the same expression, as if he knew something.

Jiang Chengyi watched the reactions of the two men, and became suspicious of Sanyu's uncharacteristically calm.

The pair of black eyes like a deep pool of ice are getting darker and darker at the moment, and even revealing a hint of oppression.

He pretended to be unharmed and said: "Since this is the case, I will bring Wang He and Deng Yuan to the hall." obeyed the captain's wishes, and interrogated the two in front of him. ”

Jing Ting objected: "No." If so... Wouldn't it make Wang He dare not say the truth if he has it? ”

Jiang Chengyi said: "Today's law can only allow the three of them to confront each other. We can see the clue from this... If not, when will this case need to be investigated? ”

He pressed the clues he found in the past two days, and never explained to Sanyu and Jing Ting.

Hengye sent Jianghu masters to shoot arrows burning with fire, but there is no evidence in the end. The arrow that exploded the dungeon had already been ignited by the fire, and even if it was found, it wouldn't prove anything.

The few people in the alley who witnessed this person shooting arrows could only prove that he shot the fiery arrow that caused the private prison to explode, but they could not prove that this person was related to Hengye Gongzi. At the moment, he ordered the Thousand Machines Department to investigate the Shuangsha Gang where Hengye Gongzi belonged and there was no result, and it was not good to act rashly at this time to play Emperor Wei. The court has always cared about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but it also understands in the bottom of his heart that there are several scholars in the court and the opposition who are inseparable from the rivers and lakes. The fact that the son of Hengye obeyed the orders of Fu Zhongwen, the son-in-law of the Fu family, is known to the world. If only before he found any more definite evidence, he would have brought the matter to His Majesty.

Emperor Wei would only think that he was eager to implement a new policy, so he did not hesitate to use the incident to frame the Fu clan, who seemed to have nothing to do with the bombing.

He was preoccupied, and went to the interrogation hall with the two of them, and ordered the little official to invite Deng Guozhong, who couldn't wait.

When the city defense army escorted Deng Yuan and Wang He to come, the three of them officially took their seats.

According to Emperor Wei's instructions, this case involved the Shi clan, and Deng Yuan and Wang He were both detained by the city defense army in the Dongfu Division, because they were afraid that Jiang Chengyi would do something in it.

He was helpless, but in his heart he felt that it was a good thing for him to have the city defense army personally take care of the two.

Jiang Chengxun sat in front of the main seat of the main hall, straightened his face, and cleared his throat.

Deng Guozhong's expression was gloomy, and he entered the inner court interrogation hall with frost on his face, and as soon as he came up, he directly sat in the jury seat that Jiang Chengyi arranged for him. He didn't even care about Jiang Chengyi's worship to him with Sanyu and Jing Ting. It's just that he said indifferently to Jiang Chengyi, who was sitting up, "Please also ask Master Jiang to interrogate quickly, the hour is not early, the old man likes to go to bed early, and he really can't accompany the three adults to interrogate at night." ”

This is said arrogantly, and there is no one in sight. Obviously, this place is the main secretary's mansion, but he was forced to treat it as the Taiwei Mansion.

Jiang Chengyi twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, a little bored in his heart.

He was also unceremoniously, and when he saw that Deng Guozhong was completely different from him, he took his own seat, straightened up, and interrogated him seriously. Beauty Nest

"Wang He!"

He called. Wang He immediately raised his head and looked at him.

"Today, you surrendered yourself, and although you explained the whole process of committing the crime, you did not explain the reason for doing so. Let's ask, Shangshu Zuocheng has always had a reputation for cherishing his subordinates, why did you hold a grudge and make such an earth-shattering move? ”

Wang He trembled, his eyes looked at Deng Guozhong who was sitting on the jury table intentionally or unintentionally, and said helplessly: "Lord Shi, it is not a fact that Shangshu Zuocheng loves the name of his subordinates... On weekdays, the servants in his house are either beaten and scolded at every turn, or unreasonably harsh... is even more merciless to the villain... The villain is getting older, and he really can't stand Lord Deng's constant harsh scolding...

With a grudge, he committed this case, wanting to take the opportunity to blow him up and kill him in the house, and also to expose his private imprisonment of the prisoner Shi An... Even if he died, he would be torn apart. But I never thought about it... At that time, Lord Deng went to the sacrificial ceremony, but before he returned to the house, the private prison exploded... The villain's goal was never achieved. At this time, the villain was really remorseful. Instead of taking revenge with his own hands, he dragged innocent people into it... So he turned himself in with shame. ”

The more he spoke, the more he gritted his teeth, changed his initial melancholy, and seemed to be genuinely resentful, staring angrily at Deng Yuan who was kneeling on the side at this moment, eager to pounce on him and strangle him to death.

Deng Yuan heard this, and said angrily: "Wang He! When did I speak with my conscience, when have I been so harsh on you! All over the house, I will treat you best! You have such evil intentions and have framed me like this! ”

He showed a fierce appearance, and was about to pounce on him to fight with Wang He, but was stopped and captured by the city defense army in time.

Deng Guozhong, who was sitting on the side, saw that the people of the city defense army treated Deng Yuan so rudely, and he held back his anger in his heart, and said coldly to Jiang Chengyi: "Master Jiang... My grandson doesn't seem to be the one who has been convicted of your Dongfu Division?! What do you mean by treating him like this? ”

Jiang Chengyi retorted lukewarmly: "Lord Taiwei, don't worry. At present, although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Lord Deng is related to the explosion case, it cannot be proved that Lord Deng is Shi Shiran's innocence. The Dongfu Si Nai was arrested by His Majesty's order, and entered the main secretary's mansion, and before the truth was found, he was recognized as a criminal and never polite to anyone. Even if the relatives of the emperor are now in the hall, the younger generations will also act like this. Besides, at the moment, it is not the guards of my lord's mansion who are capturing Lord Deng, but the city defense army under the orders of His Majesty... If the captain feels sorry for his grandson... Why don't you go out and turn right, go to the palace, and intercede with Your Majesty? ”

He kowtowed to Deng Guozhong head-on, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It was his gentle but fierce aura that made Deng Guozhong both annoyed and congested.

Helplessly, what Jiang Chengyi said was all the truth.

Even if Deng Guozhong was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, he could only clench his fists and sneered: "Master Jiang's three-inch tongue is really worthy of its name. The old man has seen it today. ”

However, Jiang Chengyi still smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, looking like a young man, and smiled at him calmly: "The captain has won the award." ”

Deng Guozhong's anger was almost ignited by his tepid attitude, and he was about to scold. But he heard Jiang Chengyi slap the shocked wood and continued to interrogate.

He was so angry that Jiang Chengyi gritted his teeth, but he still suppressed his anger and continued to hear the trial.

Sanyu secretly exclaimed on the side, unexpectedly, like Deng Guozhong, a well-informed minister who had gone through three dynasties, was now also angered by Jiang Cheng into such a appearance.

"Wang He. Since you say that you hold a grudge against the monarch... So this official asked you, Shi An was poisoned to death before the explosion of his private prison, do you know? His sharp question made the other three people present nervous.

Wang He was obviously stunned, and said, "This matter... The matter... The villain knew beforehand... Then, the poison of Shi An was the villain, and the villain put poison in the food when he was in prison to deliver food to him. ”

Jiang Chengyi hung his eyebrows, smiled lightly, and pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Then the official asks, what do you do with the poison in Shi An's food? ”

When asked this, Deng Guozhong clenched his fist violently, and his expressionless expression was almost unbearable.

He did not explain this matter to Wang He. He also sent someone to the post-mortem office to inquire about the matter, but he got Jiang Chengyi's order to hide the poison in Shi An's office, and he couldn't inquire about anything at all. This detail can only be ignored. I thought I would be able to pass by fooling around. But he didn't expect Jiang Chengyi to be so shrewd and cautious.

Wang He couldn't answer, and hesitated for a while: "Villain... The villain couldn't remember exactly what kind of poison he had written. The villain bought the medicine from the dark shop outside the city, and the shopkeeper said that if the poison goes down, he will definitely die... The villain doesn't know what the poison is called..."

This person reacted very quickly. Jing Ting listened to him, and he didn't know how to continue the interrogation for a while, so he paused there, waiting for Jiang Chengyi to speak.

"That is the case, the official asked again. Where is the dark shop? What is the drugstore owner called? Since you have purchased poison outside the city. The magistrate may go outside the city to verify whether you are telling a lie or not. ”

These words blocked Wang He's mouth and made him feel at a loss.

He didn't do it... Naturally, I don't know how to answer next. If it is fake, Jiang Chengyi will find out when he goes outside the city to check.

No matter how clever he is on weekdays, he is now panicking because of the fear of his life.
