Just when Wangshu was interrogating the bustard, Gu Huaijin went to prison.

Ye Yunqi seemed to know that he was involved in human life, and sat on the ground with a dull gaze, his face full of gloom.

With the sound of footsteps, he saw Gu Huaijin's appearance clearly, he quickly stood up and grabbed the cell door, "Cousin, save me!" ”

"Shut up!" Gu Huaijin changed his previous gentleness and scolded sharply: "If you really kill someone, even Your Majesty can't save you." ”

He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and hurriedly defended: "But I didn't kill anyone, I was wronged!" ”

"Then tell me, who is the murderer?" Gu Huaijin hugged his arms and took two steps closer to him.

Ye Yunqi was silent, he knocked on his head, but he couldn't remember what happened that day.

He could only tell Gu Huaijin what happened when he was conscious, "I went into the house to wait for her after ordering Liu Yun that day, but somehow I suddenly felt very tired, so I lay down and slept for a while." I was woken up in the middle of the night by the bustard's screams, and when I opened my eyes, I found Liu Yun dead next to me. ”

"When you woke up, did you see the bustard alone?"

Ye Yunqi scratched his head, as if trying his best to recall, "In addition to the old bustard, there is also a group of girls, and their cries are estimated to be able to lift the roof." ”

Saying these inconsequential words again, Gu Huaijin lost his patience and scolded mercilessly: "I asked you to get rid of the bad habit of indulging in alcohol before, you coped with it on the surface, and still went your own way in private, but now it's good, you have caused such a big disaster." ”

After speaking, he didn't stay anymore, and left in a hurry, leaving Ye Yunqi in place and shouting: "Cousin, I will never do it again next time!" You must investigate and return my innocence! ”

Zixu followed behind Gu Huaijin, walked out of the prison door, and said, "I don't think the young master has the courage to kill people. ”

Gu Huaijin snorted coldly, "He's a wine bag and rice bag, he can't even lie, and he still kills people?" ”

Zixu knew the weight of the Ye family in Gu Huaijin's heart, so he said tentatively: "Since it wasn't Young Master Cousin who did it, then I'll talk to the jailers and let them treat Young Master Cousin better." ”

Gu Huaijin deliberately slowed down, and the leisurely smile on his lips showed calculation, "No need, just let him stay in prison for a few more days, and suffer a little, otherwise he will never know how high the sky is and how thick it is, and next time I'm afraid he will poke out a bigger basket." ”

Seeing this, Zixu didn't dare to speak for Ye Yunqi anymore.

Gu Huaijin returned to the "Wanqing Building", retired from the Yajun, and continued to discuss the case with Wangshu.

"Ye Yunqi can hardly remember what happened that night, I suspect that he was bewitched." Gu Huaijin told Wangshu the result.

Wangshu guessed: "When you checked the house, you didn't find a misty incense. Could it be that someone cleared it out of advance? ”

"Presumably so."

"Looks like someone in this building is in the know."

That makes sense, but who could it be?

The evidence found from the corpse was all placed on the table, and Gu Huaijin looked at them one by one. He picked out the purple petals from the wet soil, and said to Wangshu, "I want you to check the building." I'm going to take the army to search all the rivers in Chang'an City. From the time of the time to the time of the sea, in just these few hours, she is afraid that she will not be able to go too far. I'll start with a nearby river. ”

On the second day, the two went their separate ways, and Wangshu gathered the bustard and the girls again. Xu understood Wangshu's temperament, and the bustard and the girls were not so afraid of her.

Sure enough, everything is once born and twice cooked, and the interrogation also showed a sense of intimacy.

Because this interrogation will be relatively long, Wang Shu first found a chair to sit down.

"As long as you tell the truth, I can guarantee that your livelihood will be okay in the future, but if you tell a lie, I can't guarantee that I won't do something crazy like last time."

Wangshu stroked the hairpin on the sideburns, but his eyes were full of smiles, and the sunlight reflected the coldness of the silver hairpin, which reflected the eyes of several girls, making them shudder.

Seeing this, the old bustard didn't dare to slack off, not to mention that as long as she told the truth, she could solve her worries, she must know everything, and she must have said everything.

Seeing that they were all ready, Wangshu began to ask questions.

"What kind of person is Liu Yun? How popular are you in the building? Who are the regulars? ”

The one who knows the temperament of the girls best is the old bustard, and now she also stood up and replied: "Liu Yun's heart is not bad, the only problem is that she is too greedy for money, and she grabs business with the girls in the building on weekdays." But because of her excellent appearance, other girls can't compete with her, and the only one who can compete with her is Qiu Cicada. ”

Qiu Cicada is the girl who is not afraid of Wangshu's disfigurement threat.

Wangshu glanced at her, but saw her looking at the ground expressionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking, but her ears didn't hear what was going on outside the window.

She asked the bustard again, "In other words, Liu Yun has a bad relationship with almost every girl, and she often quarrels?" ”

"So to speak."

Wangshu sighed in his heart, this girl was stunned that she didn't have a good relationship before she died, and it was even more troublesome to investigate now.

The old bustard over there said again: "As for the guests, the most popular one is Ye Gongzi, who often orders Liu Yun to accompany him." In addition, there are Jiang Gongzi in the north city and Zhou Gongzi in the south of the city. Oh, by the way, there is also Kong Weizhen and Kong Ergongzi. ”

"Kong Qingyun's son?" Wangshu was a little surprised.

I can't see that his son is also so fond of drinking flower wine.

"Yes, it's Master Kong's son, he and Ye Gongzi fought before because of the competition for Liu Yun."

Wangshu sat up straight with interest, "What's the matter?" ”

"Actually, Liu Yun who was ordered by Ye Gongzi first that day, but Kong Er Gongzi drank too much wine, so he became a little competitive. The relationship between Kong and Ye has always been incompatible, but this time the old accounts have been turned over, the new hatred is added to the old hatred, and the two sons have been beaten to the ground. ”

Kong Ye's two families are different in the court, one is Xiao Shuli's minions, and the other is Gu Huaijin's cousin, so the relationship is naturally not harmonious.

Wangshu silently kept these in mind, and then asked a few questions that were not so important.

At this time, Gu Huaijin had already led the Yajun to the river channel of the Bahe River, and he had already been to the Lihe River, the Chan River and the Wei River, but he had found nothing.

And in this river...... Gu Huaijin stared at the sunset mist flowers by the river, the light purple petals swayed in the wind, he picked a piece and crushed it in the palm of his hand, the flower juice overflowed, and the color was a little thicker than before.

He glanced at the houses next to the river, there were quite a few households, so he said to the Yajun behind him: "Put those people separately for interrogation, from the time of the day before yesterday to the time of Hai, if anyone has seen Liu Yun and can provide clues, there will be a reward." ”

The Yajun took the portrait in his hand and took the order.

The noon sun was too poisonous, Gu Huaijin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help sighing. Fortunately, Wangshu was not allowed to come here to investigate at that time, otherwise she was a girl's house, and she was afraid that she would be so hot that she would wail, not only that, but she would have to curse herself in her heart thousands of times.

Thinking of this, Gu Huaijin couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.

Seeing that he did not leave immediately, but continued to search by the river, Zixu asked, "Your Highness, what if there is no clue here?" ”

"Then keep looking. Where there are people, there is a mouth, and where there is a mouth, there is the truth. I don't believe I can't find the murderer. ”

Gu Huaijin dug up some wet soil from the ground, wrapped them in his robe, and carried them with him.

The Yajun sent walked up to Gu Huaijin and replied, and when he listened, his face was slightly gloomy.

As soon as Wangshu finished the trial, Gu Huaijin came back.

She asked him if he had any new discoveries, but he said: "This case can no longer be tried privately, call Kong Qingyun together and let the government arraign him." ”

"Why?"

Gu Huaijin glanced at her, her face solemn, "Because of this matter, it has something to do with Kong Weizhen." ”

After that, the government was promoted, Gu Huaijin was arraigned, and Kong Qingyun observed. It is very similar to the official tea case, but now it is the position of the chief judge and the observer.

However, as soon as he ascended to the court, a soldier hurriedly broke in and handed over a confession.

Gu Huaijin looked at it, but it was Ye Yunqi's confession.

He immediately frowned, "Bring him to me, I'm going to interrogate him personally." ”

If he hadn't seen Ye Yunqi before, he would have said with such certainty that he was innocent, and he might have really been fooled by this piece of paper.

"This ...... Ye Gongzi was afraid that he would not be able to come, and after being tortured, he fainted. ”

Gu Huaijin immediately stood up, "Who made you torture!" ”

The Yajun knew that he had made a mistake, and lowered his head and said, "It's Master Kong." ”

He immediately understood, afraid that Kong Qingyun had already gotten the news that this case was related to his precious son, so he was afraid, and then he thought of using torture to extract a confession to close the case.

Gu Huaijin sneered and glared at Kong Qingyun, "Your Majesty asked this king to personally try this case, is Lord Kong doing this to slap Your Majesty in the face?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just wants to share the burden for His Highness. Although His Majesty asked His Highness to preside over the trial, he did not explicitly let the minister withdraw. ”

In the face of his anger, Kong Qingyun was calm, and he had already anticipated the consequences when he made his decision.

Seeing him so calm, Gu Huaijin restrained his anger and sat down again.

Now-for-tat is never the best policy, and he must first finish the case.

"This king still has new clues to interrogate, this confession will be shelved first, and when Ye Yunqi wakes up, this king will personally interrogate him."

He photographed the shocking wood and called people to bring it to the people near the Bahe River.

The two women, who had never entered the official mansion, looked at each other as they walked, and finally knelt down with some trepidation.

"Don't be afraid, just repeat what you said before."

The first woman said tremblingly: "The day before yesterday, I went to the river to scoop water, and I saw a man and a woman standing by the river talking, the man was seven feet tall and had a broad body, and the woman was about five feet tall and quite petite, because it was dark, and they were some distance away from me, so the grass people did not see their faces clearly. ”

Another woman spoke after her, "When I was in the house, I heard a movement by the river, and it seemed that there was a quarrel between a man and a woman, and the woman said something 'Ziruo, I can't do this...... and the man seemed to be very angry, I can't remember what the man said, but the man's voice was very hoarse. I thought it was a husband and wife quarrel, so I didn't pay much attention to it. ”

The first woman seemed to remember something, and hurriedly added: "Yes, yes, that man's voice is indeed hoarse. ”

Gu Huaijin looked at Kong Qingyun with a smile, "Master Kong, as far as I know, 'Ziruo' is the small character of the second son of Kong, so that Gongzi burned his throat when he was a child, and then his voice was no longer loud. ”

Kong Qingyun said unhurriedly: "There are so many people called 'Ziruo' in this world, and there are probably many people who happen to be called 'Ziruo' and have a hoarse voice. ”

Obviously, he didn't want to admit it.

Gu Huaijin raised his eyebrows slightly, "But Kong Weizhen once had an argument with Ye Yunqi in the 'Love Building'. ”

"Oh? I didn't know, I only heard Wei Zhen say that he admired the Ye family's son very much, and he was even more interested in making friends. It's okay to quarrel occasionally, even when brothers quarrel with each other. ”

Gu Huaijin smiled without saying a word, waved his hand, and a yajun tied Kong Weizhen in.

That Kong Weizhen kept struggling, "If you dare to do this to the master, the master will let people kill you when he goes back!" ”

He saw Kong Qingyun at a glance and wailed, "Father, look at what your subordinates are doing!" ”

However, in exchange for Kong Qingyun's scolding, "Bastard, don't look at where you are?" Get down on your knees yet! ”

Kong Weizhen saw Gu Huaijin sitting on the main seat at this time, and he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and lost his voice.

Gu Huaijin asked the two women, "Look at it, is the figure and voice of this person in front of you the same as what you saw and heard that day?" ”

The second woman was sure, "The voice is exactly the same." ”

The first woman carefully looked at his figure, and finally nodded: "Seven feet, strong, I'm afraid it's about the same." ”

Kong Qingyun chuckled lightly and stood up, "I heard that His Royal Highness has given a high reward, and it is common for some people to make up nonsense for profit, and they are even suspected of colluding confessions. Your Highness, don't let them fool you. What's more, when it's dark and the road is far away, what you see and hear will also be different. ”

Gu Huaijin had long known that he would say that, so he smiled faintly, "I deliberately asked people to isolate them for interrogation, and then screened out the same confession, which can be testified by Lord Kong's army." ”

He naturally knew that there were many of Kong Qingyun's henchmen in the Yajun, otherwise the news that he got the clues would not have been known by Kong Qingyun so quickly.

"Although it is dark and the road is long, I think as long as you are not blind and deaf, the deviation will not be very large."

Seeing that Kong Qingyun didn't speak, Gu Huaijin stretched slightly, "This king is also tired, take them all down, and try them again the next day." ”

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Kong Qingyun, "Tomorrow there will be a post-mortem examination to compare the evidence on the corpse with the evidence in the place where the crime occurred, and ask Master Kong to come in person at that time." ”
