"This ......"

Cheng Sanshui was speechless for a while, and his forehead was sweating like rain.

"Cheng County Order, human life is at stake, do you think you should be sentenced only after the truth of the case is investigated?" Xiao Jingcong said with a serious face.

Cheng Sanshui nodded and hurriedly agreed.

"Yes, yes, what Xiao Wang Ye said is very true, what he said is very true! But ......"

Cheng Sanshui changed his words, touched his eight-character nonsense and said: "The case of Yan Zixi killing Mrs. Li has already been investigated by the lower officials. The only person Mrs. Li had seen before she died was Yan Zixi, and the cause of Mrs. Li's death was also confirmed to be a sharp knife piercing the abdomen, and the murder weapon was also found at the scene. ”

Xiao Jingcong was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked, "What is the murder weapon?" ”

"Returning to the prince, it is a dagger, to be exact, it is a knife used as a surgery, and the holder of this knife is none other than Dr. Yan Zixi of Miaochun Hall."

"What?! This...... How is this possible? ”

Xiao Jingcong didn't expect that there would be such unfavorable evidence for Yan Zixi at the scene of the crime.

Wrong!

Xiao Jingcong suddenly remembered that when he and Yan Zixi went to Mrs. Li's house yesterday, she didn't take out a knife from beginning to end, how could she leave it in Mrs. Li's house?

Frame?!

Xiao Jingcong came to his senses, someone must have wanted to frame Yan Zixi, so he took such pains to deliberately leave evidence of the murder weapon at the scene of the crime.

Cheng Sanshui saw Xiao Jingcong bowing his head and was silent, his eyes rolled, and he continued: "In addition, Mrs. Li's son and daughter-in-law also believe that Yan Zixi is the murderer......

"Impossible!"

Xiao Jingcong shook his head, and said resolutely in his mouth: "Yan Zixi will not kill anyone!" As a doctor, why did she kill Mrs. Li? That Mrs. Li is his patient, Yan Zixi has no grievances with her, and she has no motive to kill at all! ”

Xiao Jingcong sent out the same doubts as Yan Zixi before.

And Cheng Sanshui seemed to have guessed that Xiao Jingcong would ask about Yan Zixi's motive for killing, so he had already thought about it.

"Lord Xiao, you shouldn't have known it when you first came to our Ningcheng County, that Yan Zixi was just a quack, she used the wrong medicine when she treated Mrs. Li, so that Mrs. Li was paralyzed in bed, Yan Zixi did not hesitate to take her life in order to save her reputation......"

"Nonsense!" As soon as Xiao Jingcong heard it, he knew that the motive for the murder that Cheng Sanshui said was completely made up by him.

Not to mention that Mrs. Li's legs and feet were paralyzed by herself, Yan Zixi's medical skills are obvious to all, and even Cheng County ordered his son's life to be saved by Yan Zixi, why did he talk nonsense?

Cheng Sanshui saw that Xiao Jingcong was angry, so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Prince Xiao is angry, angry! The lower official also told the truth, if there is any offense, please forgive the prince! ”

"Cheng County Order, as far as I know, a few days ago, your son was seriously injured and died, and he almost died, but it was Yan Zixi's girl who used a needle to save him from the ghost gate, why is it now in your mouth, then Yan Zixi has become a quack?"

"This ......" Cheng Sanshui's brain spun quickly, and he quickly found an excuse, "Lord Wang, don't you know, in fact, it was Yan Lao from Miaochun Hall who personally rescued him that day, and Yan Zixi just mentioned a name." ”

The more Xiao Jingcong listened, the more he didn't believe this Cheng Sanshui, "Oh, there is still this matter?" That's easy to do, you can call Yan Lao over and confront him face to face! ”

"Lord Xiao, Yan is already old, I'm afraid I can't withstand such a toss, let's not bother......"

Saying that, Cheng Sanshui raised his head and peeked at Xiao Jingcong again, something suddenly came to mind in his mind, and he quickly changed the topic and asked, "Lord Xiao, you also just came to Ningcheng County, right?" I don't know what the relationship between Yan Zixi and you is, you care so much about her? Could it be that you have a relationship with Yan Zixi's girl? ”

After a slight pause, Cheng Sanshui said with a smile: "If Prince Xiao has anything to do with Miss Yan Zixi, the prince can give an order, and I will let her go!" ”

Xiao Jingcong knew that Cheng Sanshui had a needle hidden in his words, so he deliberately set a trap and waited for him to jump down.

If Xiao Jingcong really agrees, not only will his relationship with Yan Zixi be exposed, but Cheng Sanshui will be caught by him, and in the future, he can also pull himself over as a backer, and he can leave it all aside.

In the end, he is an old fox who has been mixed with officialdom for more than 40 years, and he is indeed very cunning.

However, how could such clumsy words deceive Xiao Jingcong?

Xiao Jingcong snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Cheng County Order, it's not a secret, I was also rescued by Miss Yan Zixi, so I still know something about her medical skills." I'm so sure she's not a quack, and that's why I don't want to see her wronged, you see? ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials know, know."

"Okay, before this case is thoroughly investigated, Yan Zixi is innocent, let her go, I will bear the consequences!"

"This ...... Well, everything but listen to the king's orders. Cheng Sanshui could only nod in agreement in the face of Xiao Jingcong.

Xiao Jingcong said "um", and then specially instructed: "By the way, I came to the people for an unannounced visit this time as a secret history, Cheng County Order, you have to keep your mouth shut." If my identity is revealed, watch your head! ”

"Ah, don't dare, don't dare! The lower officials must not say a word, not a word. Cheng Sanshui was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again.

"Okay, don't kneel, hurry up and take me to see Yan Zixi."

"Yes!"

"In that case, what are you still doing in a daze, leading the way ahead?" Xiao Jingcong saw Cheng Sanshui there like a wooden stake, and couldn't help but urge.

Cheng Sanshui was clever, quickly turned around and pushed open the door, and greeted Xiao Jingcong respectfully.

Xiao ...... Childe, please this way, please this way! Cheng Sanshui stretched out his hand and said flatteringly.

And the two officials guarding the door were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Your Excellency, ...... you"

Cheng Sanshui glared at the two servants, and scolded angrily: "I haven't come to see our Xiao Gongzi yet!" Tell you, when Xiao Gongzi comes in the future, you will give me a good life, if you are slack, don't do it! ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

The two officials didn't know what was going on, and after Xiao Jingcong entered the house and entered the house, the change in Cheng County's attitude really made them a little panicked.

Could it be that this Xiao Gongzi is really a big man?

Didn't they treat him like this just now......

The two officials seemed to think of going together, and hurriedly prostrate on the ground and kowtow to Xiao Jingcong.

"The little one has eyes and no beads, I don't know Xiao Gongzi, and I ask Xiao Gongzi to forgive me."

Xiao Jingcong walked over, glanced at them coldly, and snorted in his mouth: "Where's the silver?" ”

"Ah, yes! Here it is! ”

The two officials hurriedly took out the ingot of silver they had received from their bosoms and handed it over with both hands.

Xiao Jingcong glanced at Cheng Sanshui next to him, and said with a smile: "Master Cheng, you can look at this silver." ”

After saying that, he walked out.

After Cheng Sanshui snatched two ingots of silver from the hands of the officials, he sent the two officials out to guard the door.

Although the two officials were full of resentment, they didn't dare to say a word more than a word, so they slipped out with a roll.

Cheng Sanshui caught up with Xiao Jingcong and took him to the county jail with a smile.

……

The county jail.

Yan Zixi's skin was opened, and she was lying on the haystack at this time, her mouth was weak.

"I ...... There was no killing...... I was wronged......"

When he was still at the door far away, Xiao Jingcong couldn't help but speed up his pace when he heard this voice.

"What kind of person, the county government is in a big prison, and the idle people are leaving quickly......"

Before the jailer finished speaking, he saw Cheng Sanshui following behind, and they immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Meet Master Cheng!"

"You guys, let Yan Zixi go!"

"Huh?"

The jailer thought he had misheard, you look at me, I look at you, and froze in place, a little at a loss.

"Master Cheng, didn't you mean...... Why are you going to release people now? A jailer stepped forward and asked.

"After investigation, there may be other hidden circumstances in this case, in order not to wronged the good people, release the people for the time being, understand? If you understand, hurry up! ”

"Yes...... Be! The two jailers hurriedly ran in, and Xiao Jingcong followed closely behind.

When he saw Yan Zixi lying on the haystack in the prison and dying, his face suddenly changed greatly.

"You ...... How dare you abuse lynching? ”

Boundless anger erupted from Xiao Jingcong's body, and the air in the entire dungeon seemed to freeze.

"Master Cheng, what's going on?!" Xiao Jingcong turned around, and the red eyes full of anger stared straight at Cheng Sanshui, as if they wanted to penetrate his soul.

Cheng Sanshui was so frightened that his feet went weak and knelt on the ground, and the two jailers also knelt down when they saw it.

"Xiao Gongzi, I don't know about this matter, for now, let's see how Miss Yan's injuries are, don't delay the time for treatment!"

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, he immediately kicked open the unlocked cell door and rushed in.

"Miss Zixi, Miss Zixi?"

Xiao Jingcong gently hugged Yan Zixi, and called a few times in her mouth.

At this time, Xiao Jingcong noticed that Yan Zixi's whole body was almost full of wounds, the skin was open, the flesh was blurred, and if she came a few days later, she would probably die in this prison.

Yan Zixi's consciousness was already blurred, and she just opened her pale lips and said weakly and intermittently.

"I ...... No...... Homicide...... I was wronged...... I'm not...... Murderer ......"

"I know, I know, it's okay, Zixi ......"

Xiao Jingcong called softly, then picked up Yan Zixi and rushed out of the county jail, and went straight to Miaochun Hall.

After Cheng Sanshui saw Xiao Jingcong leaving with Yan Zixi in his arms, he took a long breath and sat on the ground.

Seeing this, the two jailers cautiously sounded.

"My lord, who is this Xiao Gongzi, why are you so afraid?"

"He? Hehe, he's someone we can't even mess with! ”
