A quarter of an hour later.

"My lord, I've already asked clearly."

"The suspect's full name is Ma Yizhen, and he apprenticed to Hongyuan Zhenren at the age of fourteen, and it has been nine years now."

"This person is very unpopular because he is the eldest disciple of Hongyuan Zhenren and his nephew, and he is commanding and calling several junior disciples as slaves."

"The two Taoist priests who traveled with him were Zhao Yixiong, the third disciple of Hongyuan Zhenren, and Liu Yiwei, the fifth disciple."

"Zhao Yixiong is the most outstanding disciple of Hongyuan Zhenren, Hongyuan Zhenren has said several times that it must be Zhao Yixiong who can inherit his Taoism in the future."

"Because of this, the relationship between Zhao Yixiong and Ma Yizhen has always been not harmonious, and it can even be said that it is incompatible."

"Liu Yiwei is the nephew of Hongyuan Zhenren, because of this identity, Ma Yizhen and Zhao Yixiong both look at him differently."

"However, Liu Yiwei is a wooden and old-fashioned person, except for serving Hongyuan Zhenren wholeheartedly, he doesn't pretend to anyone on weekdays, so his relationship with the two is quite ordinary."

"Ma Yi Zhensheng is tall and burly; Zhao Yixiong is of medium stature; Liu Yiwei was born black, thin and short. ”

Although he felt that the three of them committed the crime together and it was unlikely that they would murder Ma, Sun Shaozong still ordered Huang Bin to verify the relationship between the three to the Taoist priests.

It's just that judging from the results of the investigation, if those Taoist priests, including some Taoist children, didn't lie collectively, these two people would be enough to make a Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

To say that they can sincerely cooperate and cover Ma Yizhen to infiltrate the capital and kill Ma together, it is estimated that Ma Yizhen himself may not dare to believe it!

As for the assumption that all three were having an affair with Ma's......

According to a series of investigations by Sun Shaozong, it can be preliminarily determined that Ma is a woman with low psychological maturity, introverted, literate and eager to be cared for.

Once this kind of woman is snubbed, the probability of cheating may not be low, but it should not be possible to say that she is indiscriminate with multiple lovers at the same time.

"My lord, look what this is!"

Sun Shaozong was rubbing his eyebrows with his fists, trying to re-piece together the logical relationship, but the official who had not dared to be idle and kept searching the room suddenly screamed.

Sun Shaozong turned his head to look and saw that he was squatting in front of the dresser, holding a piece of scrap of paper the size of a fingernail like a treasure, and the edge of the scrap of paper still had obvious traces of burning.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and when he saw that there was no floating dust on the paper, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This was apparently ignited not so long ago!

He cautiously flicked the scrap of paper into his hand and asked, "Where did you find this?" ”

"Right under this dresser, the villain just pulled it out with a broom!"

The official was quite proud, he actually had nowhere to search, and he didn't dare to be lazy in front of Sun Shaozong, so he took a broom and pulled it under the bed and the bottom of the cabinet.

Sun Shaozong looked at the dresser, then turned back and asked, "Did you have a charcoal basin in this house before?" ”

"Yes!"

Qiu Hong immediately replied: "It has not been interrupted since the morning, and then the lady wanted to go out, but she was afraid that no one in the house would take care of her, and she accidentally walked out of the water, so she moved elsewhere." ”

As he spoke, he reached out to a corner and pointed, "It was originally placed here." ”

The place she was pointing to was only three feet away from the dresser, and it would not be surprising if Ma had thrown a whole piece of paper into the charcoal basin at that time, and there would be crumbs in the corners and corners floating under the dresser.

"That's weird."

Sun Shaozong showed the confetti to the two maids, and said coldly: "Up and down this room, there is neither pen, ink, paper, inkstone, nor any books, and you just said that there is no letter sent in, so what is this burned?" ”

Questioning is questioning, in fact, Sun Shaozong didn't doubt these two maids very much in his heart.

Because according to Fang Cai's investigation, they have been nesting in the back house with Ma almost all day, and if they want to pass on the news, they must go through the hands of others.

But who would dare to convey such a terrible scandal through so many people?

Otherwise, as long as there is a problem in one of the links, it will be a catastrophe for the adulterer!

"This ......"

Xia He looked at the piece of paper in fear, and then looked at Qiu Hong with suspicion, obviously suspicious of what Qiu Hong had done behind his back.

Qiu Hong did not respond to her suspicions, but her brows gradually tightened, looking thoughtful and unbelievable.

After a long time, she was forced by Sun Shaozong to say: "Lord Qiqi Qingtian, the slave really doesn't know where this thing came from, but it's ......."

"But what?"

"But it's not just me and Xia He who have come to this bedroom today, but also ...... And the master! ”

Hongyuan real people have also been here?

It can't be that he helped that Ma Yizhen and invited Ma Shi to the back garden to kill him, right?

This is also unreasonable!

You must know that he was cuckolded, and it is estimated that he can't wait to break the adulterer's body into thousands of pieces, how can it be......

Wait a minute!

Sun Shaozong's mind flashed.

Before, because of the traces in the back garden, especially the murderer's unbearable destruction of Ma's appearance, as well as Ma's appearance on his face, he acquiesced in his heart that the murderer who killed Ma was Ma's mistress.

But what if that's not the case?

What if the reason why Ma Yizhen killed Ma was not because he was Ma's mistress, but because he was instructed to kill Ma who was conceived for adultery?

Further inference, the three people who were sent to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province seemed to be incompatible, and there was basically no possibility of collusion.

But what if all this was originally instructed by Hongyuan Zhenren?

The conspiracy of the three is ......

No!

All it takes is two people to conspire!

Because the other person is most likely the real adulterer!

After all, according to the current investigation, only a few apprentices who are favored by Hongyuan Zhenren can come into contact with Ma's.

And Hongyuan Zhenren designed to kill his wife, will he let the adulterer go?

"Huang Bin!"

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong immediately ordered: "You immediately send someone back to the yamen to carry the headless corpse here, so that the people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion can recognize it!" ”

Without waiting for Huang Bin to receive the order, he motioned for Huang Bin to come forward and whispered a few words.

Huang Bin nodded knowingly, and hurried to the bedroom again.

…………

Half an hour later

After searching Ma's residence inside and out three times, Sun Shaozong took the maids and servants back to the front hall again.

Contrary to the previous 'one bird entering the forest, a hundred birds pressing the sound', this time Sun Shaozong entered the hall, and the noise did not weaken, but added fuel to the fire, wave after wave.

Perhaps drawing strength from it, one of the young Taoist priests actually asked Sun Shaozong directly: "This lord, your endless interrogations won't treat us as murderers, right?!" ”

"yes!"

Someone next to him immediately answered: "This is obviously someone targeting our Heavenly Master's Mansion, you and other officials don't go to arrest the murderer, but they only care about pestering us and other bitter masters, what are you doing?" ”

When the rest of the Taoists saw that there was a leader, they also beat the side drums one after another.

For a while, the crowd was angry, and the bluffing officials panicked, after all, the Taoist priests have been bullish recently, and if they really make a fuss, the board of the court may not hit them.

Sun Shaozong turned a blind eye, stood still in front of the Dharma platform as if nothing happened, and ordered: "Go and bring Hongyuan Zhenren here, the official has a few questions, and I want to ask the real person to explain it in public." ”

A few officials at the door rushed out as if they had been pardoned, but the hall was quiet.

Relying on the recent momentum of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the Daoists may dare to confront the court officials to a certain extent, but they will never dare to make trouble in front of Hongyuan Zhenren.

After a while, I saw Hongyuan Zhenren entering from outside the door, and a group of Taoist priests were busy with the honorific title of 'Master, Uncle, and Uncle'.

Hongyuan Zhenren ignored all of them, and arrived in front of Sun Shaozong, staring at him for a long time before he spoke: "I heard that Sun Shaoqing has a few questions, and you want this seat to answer them personally?" ”

"Not bad."

Sun Shaozong bowed slightly, and then asked straight to the point: "How tall is Ma Yizhen, the eldest disciple of the real person?" ”

"More than six feet."

"Are you familiar with the terrain of this house?"

"Naturally familiar."

"When the official asked, why did the real person insist that there was no one in the Heavenly Master's Mansion who was more than six feet tall?"

"Ma Yizhen left Beijing more than ten days ago, how can he do this? Since there is no suspicion, there is naturally no need to mention it. ”

"I heard that the people who walked with him were the third and fifth disciples of the real person?"

"Exactly."

"How does that real person know, he won't conspire with the two juniors and disciples to secretly lurk in the capital......"

"Sun Shaoqing!"

Hongyuan Zhenren interrupted Sun Shaozong's words, his narrow eyes looked at Sun Shaozong fearlessly, and asked word by word: "You decided the case in the past, did you rely on the three words 'unnecessary'?" ”

Sun Shaozong looked at him silently for a long time, and suddenly grinned: "What the real person said is that I made a slip of the tongue just now, and the three people who traveled with me were not in harmony with each other, so how could they be complicit?" In fact, it was Ma Yizhen and Liu Yiwei who first murdered Zhao Yixiong, and then ......"

"Master Sun!"

Hongyuan Zhenren interrupted Sun Shaozong's words again, and his words became more and more unpolite: "Although I respect you for the name of Qingtian, I can't let you talk empty words and stain my innocence!" ”

After a pause, he said again: "Besides, Yizhen is my nephew, Yiwei is my nephew, how can the two of them deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors and kill Jing without regard for Lunchang?!" ”

"For no reason?"

Sun Shaozong sneered, shook out a booklet from his sleeve casually, handed it to Hongyuan Zhenren, and said: "Is it for no reason, the real person knows it in his heart, but the official is not confused." ”

Hongyuan Zhenren's gaze fell on the blue-skinned booklet, and he unconsciously gloomy, but his mouth was still unsettling: "What is this?" ”

Sun Shaozong raised the booklet upwards: "Naturally, it is Mrs. Zun's autopsy record." ”

Hongyuan Zhenren's left hand also subconsciously lifted up, but it was still far from the booklet, and he froze in midair.

Immediately, he simply lowered his hand, shook his head and said, "Master Sun might as well say it directly." ”

This made Sun Shaozong a little unexpected, he was stunned for a moment, and saw that Hongyuan Zhenren did not change his mind, so he simply opened the autopsy report, selected one of the passages and read: "The corpse X room, abdomen, and hind buttocks were all found to have spots of different shades, and according to the judgment of several stable women who were temporarily invited, the deceased was already pregnant before his death, and it was three months up. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Shaozong closed the booklet again, raised it towards Hongyuan Zhenren, and said, "Real person, this is not a 'needless' thing, right?" Or do you want to let the priest take out the evidence, and please see it yourself before you can believe it? ”

Hongyuan Zhenren's face was completely gloomy, and even a few people in the crowd looked surprised.

But many more people are inexplicable, and some people can't help but shout: "What does this mean? My aunt is pregnant, what does it have to do with Senior Brother Ma and others? ”

In fact, Sun Shaozong was not prepared to expose this matter in front of everyone.

But Hongyuan Zhenren didn't accept it, so he had to make it public.

Now that he has made a start, he seems to have no confidence to hide it, so when Sun Shaozong heard someone questioning, he smiled at the moment: "What does it have to do with Ma Yizhen and others, it is still difficult to conclude at the moment, but this kid has nothing to do with Hongyuan Zhenren!" ”

This was really an uproar.

"Ridiculous! How dare you slander my uncle like this! ”

"It's been five months since Shi Niang entered Beijing, and she is three or four months pregnant, what's so strange?!"

"Master and Master have always been in love with ......"

"My uncle is a real person enshrined by His Majesty, how dare you ...... nonsense?"

"Of course this official dares to judge!"

Sun Shaozong first shouted loudly, interrupting this kind of questioning voice, then looked around the audience and sneered: "Otherwise, Hongyuan Zhenren will commit the crime of bullying the king, and you Heavenly Master's Mansion will also be inseparable!" ”

After a pause, he added: "Because Hongyuan Zhenren once said in person that when refining pills for His Majesty, you can't get close to women. ”

The uproar in the hall was even worse.

But soon, it fell into a death-like sediment.

Those who are deep in the city have their own eyes and nose and nose and heart; And more people looked at Hongyuan Zhenren in disbelief.

"Alas~"

In the midst of this dead silence, Hongyuan Zhenren suddenly sighed: "This seat has only thought about her past, and she has already expected it, but she has never thought about it...... I never thought ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha...... I think that Liu Hongyuan has been conceited all his life and is worthy of the sky, but he has never thought about it, he has never thought about it...... Hahaha......"

The laughter was sad and gloomy, and his tall and thin body was shaking, and everyone who looked directly at him was stunned.

Only Sun Shaozong first secretly scolded the 'drama spirit', and then frowned again.

According to the existing clues, Ma Yizhen and Liu Yiwei must have been instigated by Hongyuan Zhenren to kill Zhao Yixiong and Ma.

As long as one of Ma Yizhen and Liu Yiwei is arrested and confesses the truth, then no matter how much he hides it at this time, he is just dying.

But Hongyuan Zhenren's performance at this time made Sun Shaozong think of another possibility - what if Ma Yizhen and Liu Yiwei refused to confess, or 'couldn't' confess?

At that time, he didn't seem to have any evidence, and he was able to lock Hongyuan Zhenren as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Thinking about it further, although Hongyuan Zhenren lost face greatly at this time, he snubbed his wife in order to make alchemy for the emperor, and then was put on a green hat.

As long as he is not involved in this case in the future, the emperor will inevitably be comforted......

Tut~

Shouldn't this guy be ready to make his cuckold identity public from the beginning?

"Your Excellency, your Excellency!"

At this moment, a government official rushed close and reported: "The corpse has been delivered, and I am waiting for ......."

"Let Huang Bin speak first!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly interrupted his report, and couldn't help but say, "The corpse or something, stay outside first!" ”(https:)
