"Lord Wei, as soon as possible, order the brothel to go to the county government to identify the body, and at the same time pass the brothel boss, the handyman, and the woman one by one, but all the men who have been to the Red Lantern Court will have ten fingerprints, and they must be handed over to the general within two days. In addition, all the children of officials in the city, as long as they are men, are all within the scope, and they must not be omitted. ”

"This ......" Wei Xu's face was embarrassed: "The former is well-founded, and the latter is very important, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." ”

"Wei will personally ask the king for his life, and there will be a conclusion tomorrow, and please do your best."

After all, brothels are a way to make money, and no one wants to offend officials, and if they don't confess truthfully, they will inevitably increase the time cost of passing through the court. In this way, the total number of fingerprints may be as high as tens of thousands.

At this time, Luan Chong said unhappily:

"General Wei, it's too chilling to make such a hasty conclusion. Before the bones of Da Sima were cold, General Wei concluded that the Xuanting Marquis Mansion was innocent, how could he convince the world. ”

Bai Liyan (also Wei Xian) confronted each other, saying:

General Luan was deeply saddened, and Wei expressed deep sympathy. However, before the culprit was finally captured, although the Xuanting Marquis Mansion was not suspected of killing Yu Fu, Yu Fu's body appeared here, and the motive was intriguing, and the general never concluded that the Xuanting Marquis Mansion must have nothing to do with the murder of Da Sima.

If someone deliberately planted a false accusation and intended to slander and slander our king, Wei was bound to take him for questioning. I also ask General Luan not to draw conclusions before the case is decided, so as not to cause unnecessary turmoil. ”

"Humph!"

Luan Chong snorted angrily and walked away, and Wei Xu and Gao Chongan also left after saluting Princess Lan Yuan. Seeing everyone leaving, Princess Lan Yuan stepped forward to thank her:

"Today's matter is thanks to General Wei's solution, it's just Ma Qing's matter, how should the general deal with it?"

"Madame is too worried, the horse steward should have touched the copper chip and left fingerprints when he was rummaging over the corpse, and most of them are not suspicious."

"Oh......" Princess Lan Yuan sighed lightly, her eyes slanted at Xuan Tinghou's face, Xuan Tinghou was like a ghost, her face was pale, and her eyes were hesitant and erratic. Seeing this, Princess Lan Yuan pushed Bailiyan to the corner, and asked quietly: "General Wei, is the fingerprint thing accurate?" ”

Bai Liyan nodded:

"Fingerprints are unique to each person, if they are not twins, the fingerprints between people are completely different, even if they are biological parents, they are never the same from each other, Her Royal Highness the princess can rest assured in this matter."

"In this case, the general just said that there is no fingerprint of the people in my Hou Mansion on the copper chips, is this true or false, or will the general deliberately protect it?"

Bai Liyan was puzzled, could it really be that there was a fingerprint of the Xuanting Hou Mansion Princess Lanyuan to rest assured? He asked cautiously:

"Categorically not. The Hou Mansion is also a coincidence, and you don't need to look closely to know if there are people in the Hou Mansion, so except for the fingerprints of Ma Qing's steward, there are no other people's fingerprints. ”

"Oh, then the princess is relieved......"

Princess Lan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and glared at Xuan Tinghou viciously, Bai Liyan suddenly realized at this time, the wife of Xuan Tinghou is not light.

Baili Yanyuan also wanted to mention the matter of the county lord Qiao, but he also thought that Qiao Lian's son Qiao Cheng had disappeared for the past two days, most of which was sent to Princess Lan Yuan to hide in the palace to avoid trouble, it was already very late, and he was not good to speak again, so he said goodbye and entered the palace overnight to meet King Xian.

The expansion of the scope of inspection in the whole city is bound to involve the ownership of the nobles and relatives, and without the approval of King Xian, the resistance is bound to be great. At the same time, fingerprints were collected from the whole city, but in fact, the operability was not strong.

At present, the identification of fingerprints depends on the naked eye, and it is still very difficult for two or three people to compare one or two hundred, and the Xuanting Marquis Mansion is purely lucky, otherwise one hundred or dozens of fingerprints will not be able to be seen in one night.

There are thousands of powerful relatives and wealthy merchants and protégés in the city, and it is impossible to identify all the fingerprints one by one.

The reason for expanding the scope of screening is that it is to startle the snake and knock the mountain and shock the tiger, so that the mastermind behind the scenes knows that he Bailiyan has a special screening method, and it is an immediate means. Take advantage of the blind spot of the mastermind behind the scenes to carry out psychological deterrence and deception, forcing him to postpone his next move, avoid the situation from continuing to deteriorate, and at the same time let him expose his flaws.

Second, release the news that the Xuanting Marquis Mansion has ruled out suspicion, and observe who is continuing to add fuel to the fire.

Thirdly, the deployment is so thorough, it is absolutely impossible for people to do it, and there must be someone in a high position in the Black Turban Army in the tomb to do the internal response, otherwise it is impossible for the secret agents of King Xian not to notice the slightest clue, so wouldn't it really be a hell. As long as the news of Xuan Tinghou's clearance of suspicion is released, the other party is bound to have the next move.

When he rode to the palace, it was already dark at night, and King Xian could not sleep after returning from Uncle Guang's mansion, and while he was shocked by Gongsun Yue, King Xian locked himself in the temple dedicated to the previous King Xian and asked himself.

"King, General Wei asks to see you." A guard outside the door said.

"The widow knows, take him to Wangxian Court, and the widow will see him later."

"No!"

Bai Liyan waited in Wangxian Court for a quarter of an hour, her eyes were already red, but she didn't even have any pajamas. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, King Xian's footsteps staggered, and although the fire was dim, he could still be seen haggard and disappointed, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

Walking into Wangxian Garden, King Xianjing sat on the stone bench, sitting with a dull gaze, and his tone was quite calm:

"What progress has General Wei made?"

"Your Majesty, after the final general personally investigated, the Xuanting Marquis Mansion can basically rule out suspicion, and Yu Fu's death was deliberately planted by someone."

"Oh......" King Xian replied lightly, not as if surprised: "The widow knows." ”

King Xian's attitude was ambiguous, Bai Liyan thought that King Xian mistakenly thought that he was protecting the Xuanting Marquis Mansion, and he said:

"King, the suspicion involved in the Xuanting Marquis Mansion is indeed that someone deliberately planted it, not that the last general intended to cover it up, and please see it clearly."

King Xian was silent, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked:

"General Wei, what do you think of the widow's treatment of you?"

Baili Yan was stunned, and she didn't know what King Xian meant, so she speculated for a moment before saying:

"The king treats Wei Xian as heavy as a mountain, and Wei Xian has nothing to repay."

"Then one day, General Wei will also betray the widow!"

King Xian's words were deep and gloomy, and the disappointment in his eyes told Bai Liyan that King Xian must have learned the inside story of Gongsun Yue from Uncle Guang, and he couldn't accept it for a while, and suddenly attacked himself.

Thinking of this, Baili Yan said:

"The last general will respect the legal system, the legal system is upright and the king is right, and if the legal system is not right, the country will perish."

"Law! What is the rule of law? King Xian said contemptuously, his eyes staring at Baili Yan at this moment.

"Great king, the reason why there is a distinction between rich and poor in the world is not that the king is born noble, and the common people are born lowly, but the law is not clear. Thirty generations of ancestors are still poor in white. But why do some people become kings and some people lose, some people are rich and some people are poor, and there is no impermanence in changing each other?

The Liang Dynasty has gone through the three dynasties of Hao, Chen and Hai before that, which dynasty is not a cycle of death and rebirth, birth and death, and there are so many kings in history, how many are mixed, and finally they are all unified, and it is difficult to escape fate. In the afterlife, everything is just a matter of starting all over again.

The so-called Tao between heaven and earth is actually what the people need, what people want, and when these complicated things come together, it is the legal system. Whoever can make the legal system of the world get what he wants, he is worthy of support.

This is the heart of the last general, and please ask the king to see it. ”
