Chapter 549: Interrogation

The Guangming Temple was besieged, but Igle took advantage of the chaos to escape, Qian Weiyan immediately issued a city-wide search, because the siege of the Guangming Temple was at night, when the city gate was closed, it was impossible for the other party to escape from the city, especially Sishunfang is the focus of the search, after all, Igle is a mixed race of Han and Hui, only when hiding in Sishunfang, it will not be so conspicuous.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Igler was like a stone sinking into the sea, even if the officers and soldiers and officials turned over the entire Luoyang City, especially Sishunfang, which was turned over several times, and even the sewers were carefully inspected, but still no one was found, Igler seemed to have completely disappeared, and even Li Zhang doubted that he had escaped from Luoyang City a long time ago?

Igler's escape made Li Zhang a little disappointed, but the most important thing now is to interrogate Liu Chengfeng and ask them about pretending to be a hat demon to hurt people, so the next afternoon, Li Zhang borrowed Qian Weiyan's left-behind mansion, and then took Liu Chengfeng from prison to the lobby for questioning.

After a while, I saw Liu Chengfeng being brought up by the officials, he was injured all over his body because of resistance before, but Li Zhang had already confessed to let people treat his injuries, and now he has been medicated and bandaged, and he has not been tortured, but his spirit is very sluggish, especially his eyes are red, and he has not even said a word since he was arrested.

"Liu Chengfeng, you should be able to explain now, right?" Li Zhang said lightly at this time, in addition to the manor and Guangming Temple outside the city, the homes of people like Liu Chengfeng who were involved in the case were all raided, but what surprised him was that Liu Chengfeng, as a wealthy businessman, had his wife died a few years ago, and he didn't even have a concubine in addition to him, and he didn't have any other children except for Igler's son, which was really surprising.

"Didn't you already find evidence, everything was done by me, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, I hope you don't implicate the innocent!" Liu Chengfeng looked up at Li Zhang at the moment, and then said in an indifferent tone.

"Hehe, you want to take all the charges?" Li Zhang also sneered when he heard this, and then looked at the wild dog next to him, and then saw the wild dog step forward and said, "Last night, I heard with my own ears that you were discussing with Igler about pretending to be a hat demon, and you are also preparing to destroy all the evidence, and let the Hui people in the manor temporarily leave Luoyang, so as not to be discovered by the imperial court." ”

"You...... How could you ......" Liu Chengfeng was also stunned when he heard the wild dog's words, and almost blurted out to admit it, but finally closed his mouth, but the horror on his face still couldn't be put away, after all, when he discussed with Igler, he repeatedly confirmed that there was no one around the room at all, but how did this strange young man know the content of their conversation?

Li Zhang smiled coldly when he saw Liu Chengfeng's appearance, wild dogs' hearing far exceeded ordinary people, even if they were not close to the other party's room, they could still hear their conversation far away, not to mention that with the strength of wild dogs, it was even more trivial to sneak around the room quietly, and even later he followed Liu Chengfeng out of the city, and the other party did not notice it.

Originally, Li Zhang thought that he had announced the truth about the hat demon, and Liu Chengfeng and these people would definitely destroy the evidence, but he still underestimated people's luck psychology, Liu Chengfeng destroyed the Kong Ming lantern that occupied a large area and was easy to manufacture, but he left the weapons dressed as wolves that were not easy to build and easy to store, and when they transferred these things that day, they were also clearly seen by wild dogs in the dark, so they were directly found by them in the end.

"Liu Chengfeng, the human and material evidence is there, no matter how much you argue, it's useless, but if you can explain honestly, this official can guarantee that in addition to the people involved, innocent people will never be involved!" Li Zhang spoke again at this time.

Pretending to be a hat demon and hurting people is all done by the Hui people, and now Qian Weiyan and these local officials are ready to take out the Hui people for surgery, after all, the impact of the hat demon case is too great, and after this matter spreads, the people's grievances must also be great, so when the time comes, not only the Hui people involved in the case will be questioned, but even other innocent Hui people will definitely be used as an outlet for public grievances.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty does not have a tradition of preferential treatment of foreigners, in fact, these Hui people live in Luoyang, they are already discriminated against, and now they even take the initiative to make trouble, and then the people will definitely vent their anger on all the Hui people, maybe after this incident, there will be no place for the Hui people in Luoyang in the future.

"Li Yushi, I am a Han and not a Hui, and my wife died a few years ago, so I don't have much to do with the Hui, how will they have anything to do with me in the future?" Unexpectedly, Liu Chengfeng was very cold at this time, which made Li Zhang a little surprised, he thought that Liu Chengfeng could marry a Hui woman and hold an important position in the Guangming Temple, so he should care about Hui people very much.

"You don't care about the life and death of the Hui people, so you won't care about the life and death of your son, right?" Li Zhang spoke again at the moment, the last time he saw the father and son in Guangming Temple, Liu Chengfeng was obviously protecting Igel, so he threatened the other party with Igel.

Liu Chengfeng didn't know that Igle hadn't been arrested, but now when he heard Li Zhang's words, he really showed a nervous look and said, "What did you do to Igler, where is he now?" ”

"As long as you confess honestly, your father and son will naturally have a time to meet, but if you don't cooperate, then I can only interrogate Igler, and now all the yamen want to torture you to interrogate, if it weren't for me to temporarily suppress it, your father and son would probably have to see the methods in the prison!" Li Zhang said calmly again.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhang's words came out, Liu Chengfeng finally showed a tangled look, he had already had the will to die when he was arrested, and the only thing he couldn't worry about was his son, although he knew that Igler was also inevitable, but he didn't want him to suffer too much torture before he died.

"Okay, I can be honest, but you must keep your promise, you can't torture my son, and you have to keep our father and son together!" Liu Chengfeng finally relented.

"No problem, as long as you confess honestly, I will never let people torture your father and son!" Li Zhang reassured at this time.

Liu Chengfeng actually didn't fully believe Li Zhang's words, but now he didn't believe it and had no choice, after all, he couldn't escape death anyway, so he could only confess at this time, but at this moment, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Zhang and asked a strange question: "Li Yushi, do you believe that there is a hat demon in this world?" ”
