Wang Yuan waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, he didn't want everyone to embarrass Yan Zhenqing. Although Yan Zhenqing and himself have drifted apart, Wang Yuan does not want to embarrass Yan Zhenqing. Yan Zhenqing is just a pedantic and stubborn scholar, he is actually not at fault, and he should not be subjected to such words.

Wang Yuan sat next to Wei Jiansu and beckoned Yan Zhenqing to sit aside. After sitting down, he looked at the benevolent brother in the hall for a moment, and slowly spoke: "This brother, I know that you are a hard bone, you have made up your mind that you will not open your mouth to confess." Because this matter is too important, after you confess, it will involve more important people, which is not something that people like you can bear. Maybe your parents and family are in Chang'an, so you don't dare to open your mouth even if you want to. Am I right? ”

The prisoner in the hall was motionless with his hair scattered, but his body trembled obviously, obviously because Wang Yuan's words had gone to his heart.

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't confess, I don't really need your confession. Because even if you confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, we have no way to arrest the real culprit behind the scenes. Besides, we are already clear about what you have done, and we have a clear grasp of what happened, and we all know it clearly if you don't say it. ”

“……”

"If you don't believe what I say, that's okay. To prove that your actions are under our control, I will tell you how you committed the crime. You listen carefully, and you must bring up what you say that does not match, otherwise you will be acquiesced. From this point on, we can condemn you, and you can get rid of it as soon as possible, and we can explain to the emperor and the people. In fact, we don't want to investigate too deeply, as long as someone comes to confess, who has the time to investigate this matter deeply? If we have kung fu, we might as well get together to drink and listen to music. Wang Yuan smiled.

Everyone was speechless, this is not a forced confession, this is an inducement of confession. In other words, this is not a complete inducement, but a more shameless and ingenious deception than inducement. Maybe this method will work, and the more you ask these people who don't speak, the more they won't say anything. Once he behaves indifferently, he will feel that the secret in his heart is worthless, and it will not be interesting.

"You came to Chengdu with Yuan Mingyuan. It's just that you are not on the list of Yuan Mingyuan's entourage, you are pretending to be a coachman to drive the rewarded cart together. In this way, after Yuan Mingyuan left Chengdu, no one noticed that you, a coachman, stayed in Chengdu and didn't leave, right? Wang Yuan asked in a deep voice.

The prisoner didn't speak, but he was very surprised in his heart, because what Wang Yuan said was the truth.

"Well, your silence is acquiescence. Master, write it down as a confession. Wang Yuan smiled. The master of the transcript hung the pen for a long time, and finally had the opportunity to take the pen to walk the dragon and snake, and immediately brushed and wrote it down, and the dragon flying phoenix dance pen force that had been written for a long time was written through the paper, and the master felt that his calligraphy had made a huge breakthrough today, and he thought about whether he should re-transcribe the confession afterwards and keep the most proud words written by these dozens of flat bodies.

"Yuan Mingyuan's biggest purpose in Chengdu was to see the Emperor, but when I told him that the Emperor was not in Chengdu, Yuan Mingyuan would not believe it. However, that day, Yan Pingzhang may have drunk too much wine and revealed some news at the banquet, Yuan Mingyuan concluded that I was lying to him, so he sent someone to enter the residence of the Emperor Taishang of Sanhualou that night to find out. However, he was shot and killed by the guards of the scattered flower building. Isn't it? ”

"......" The man remained silent.

The master raised the pen to write, Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "I don't need to remember this, I just told him that I know what Yuan Mingyuan did." ”

The master was busy. It was the first time that many people in the audience knew that Yan Zhenqing had revealed the news to Yuan Mingyuan, and they immediately set their eyes on Yan Zhenqing. Yan Zhenqing felt the anger in everyone's eyes, but he was not timid, and said in a deep voice: "It's true that I said it, but I just don't understand why Xiangguo made up a reason to prevent Yuan Ming from seeing the emperor." That's the person sent by His Majesty to see the Emperor. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "Yan Pingzhang, you will know the reason soon, don't be bored." I don't blame you. ”

Yan Zhenqing frowned and sat down, Wang Yuan continued to the prisoners in the hall: "After Yuan Mingyuan left Chengdu, you stayed. The purpose of your stay is naturally to poison the Emperor. You pretend to be a seller of zongzi steamed buns and cooking cakes, and wander around the scattered flower building for several days, looking for opportunities. You shout outside the walls every day in the hope that the people inside the scattered flower building can hear you. This morning, your ploy finally worked. Your voice of selling zongzi was heard by the emperor, the emperor really wanted to eat zongzi, who doesn't want to eat a few zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival? So you can see the behavior of the little chamberlain who asked the guards to buy zongzi. When selling zongzi, you also specifically asked, who wants to eat zongzi. When you learned that it was the Emperor Taishang who wanted to eat zongzi, you took out three zongzi mixed with silver needles and could not detect poison and sold them to him. The poison in the zongzi is stone fire powder, right, that is a kind of erysipelas. Am I right? ”

The prisoner had already raised his head in shock, what Wang Yuan said was something he had done, and there was no lie. It turned out that this person was not bluffing, and his words and deeds were indeed all under his control. Even his own psychology has been figured out clearly.

"It seems that you have no words to refute, and this is also true. Master, write it down. Wang Yuan waved his hand.

The master put pen to paper and quickly wrote down this description.

Wang Yuan continued: "By the way, you didn't succeed, the Emperor Taishang was rescued, and now he has recovered, and he will be cured in a few days." That stone fire scatter can indeed hide the silver needle to detect poison. But it's a pity that this kind of poison that can hide the silver needle to detect the poison is not overbearing. You don't use the other poisons that can also prevent being poked out by the silver needle, because although those poisons can also poison the emperor, they can all be found out to be toxic and can be rescued by the right medicine. You think that this kind of erysipelas is something that the Imperial Doctor and Langzhong can't distinguish, so you'd rather use this erysipelas with a slow effect, hoping to succeed in one blow. And even if they poisoned the other people in the Scattered Flower Building, they couldn't be solved because they couldn't find out the death, and no one would pursue the matter. I thought I was sick and died. Isn't that what you think? ”

The prisoner had already looked at Wang Yuan in a daze, this was indeed the reason for choosing erysipelas to disperse. I just don't want to be identified as toxic, even if someone else eats zongzi and dies, I can't suspect that they have been poisoned. Then there will be no uproar, and there is room for manoeuvre. All of this was actually understood by others.

Wang Yuan looked at his face, knowing that his guess was the truth, and he was also proud in his heart. Of course, some of these words are known facts, but it is the antecedents and consequences and mental activities that can be inferred from the facts that are the time to show their abilities. Now it seems that his brain is enough, and what he deduces is exactly the original intention of the perpetrator.

The master didn't need Wang Yuan's instructions anymore, so he wrote down this paragraph. also added a private sentence privately, and wrote a sentence after the confession of the mock prisoner: Xiangguo's clever calculation, such as being there. It really makes it difficult for the charm to escape from the eyes of the country. After thinking about it, it had nothing to do with the confession, so he sighed and stroked it out.

Then the whole case came to light. You followed Yuan Mingyuan, regardless of whether Yuan Mingyuan instructed you to poison the Emperor, but your criminal behavior is obvious. It is you who poisoned and poisoned the emperor, this point has been decided. However, we can make a small inference that these things are irrelevant, because we are only going to punish you for your sin, and we will only determine that you are the real culprit. But this little extrapolation might be interesting, but it's still early, so I'll make a deduction and hear if I'm right. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

The man was no longer bowing his head, what he wanted to hear more was Wang Yuan's imminent inference. It's like when solving a mystery, if the other party doesn't point to the real key point of the mystery, the person who knows the answer to the mystery will always feel uncomfortable. I am in an extremely uncomfortable state at the moment, because I am just a small person who runs errands.

"Hmm...... Let me guess who you are. Judging by your body shape and walking posture, as well as the calluses and rough skin on your palms and fingers, I don't think you are an ordinary driver. The calluses on your hands are the result of long-term grip on the blade. Of course, people who do rough work also have calluses on their hands, but their skin will be rough and dark, and they don't want you to be as fair and smooth. And you are wearing official boots on your feet, and your clothes all over your body are dressed like ordinary people, but the boots are not changed because they are stiff. I guess the other boots don't fit. After all, official boots are the most comfortable boots for our Datang to wear. Therefore, your identity is actually just a janissary who came to Chengdu with Yuan Mingyuan. Am I right? ”

"So what?" The prisoner finally spoke in a deep voice. This opening actually made everyone in the hall breathe a sigh of relief. Experienced interrogators all understand that what a person is most afraid of is not to open his mouth, and if he does not open his mouth from beginning to end, the king of heaven will not be able to speak. But as soon as he opened his mouth, it showed that there was a gap in his psychological defense.

"It's good if you admit it, dare to act is the real man. In the end, you didn't deny your identity, and you're not a rat with a hidden head and tail. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"But you guessed wrong, I am an officer of the Praetorian Guard, but I am not Yuan Mingyuan's entourage. He's something, and he wants me to protect him. He is worthy of it," the man said coldly.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "It seems that your status is not low, the words have come to this point, it is time to tell me, your honorific surname." ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. I am Pang Long, the commander of the front battalion of the Dragon and Tiger Right Guard of the Forbidden Army. If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname. The man said coldly.

"Dragon Tiger Right Guard?" Wang Yuan was a little confused.

Wei Jiansu whispered in Wang Yuan's ear: "That's the newly named forbidden army under Li Guangbi's command. The forbidden army is divided into two guards, responsible for guarding the forbidden area. ”

Wang Yuan nodded slightly, this is not unexpected, there must be a shadow of Li Guangbi's participation in this matter, and it has finally been confirmed at this moment.
