Chapter 531: Confession

"Taoist Xie Yufan"

Hearing the identity of this person, Wu Zhi couldn't help but squint his eyes, because Zhao Ji believed in Taoism, the Taoist priests of the Great Song Dynasty were not ordinary, especially the Taoist priests in Bianjing, almost all of them were powerful guests, if this case involved Taoist priests, then it would definitely lead to some powerful people.

"Are you sure"

Wu Zhi asked the little guy again.

"Sure," the little guy nodded nervously, "It's the villain who overheard Xie Daochang talking about it when he was cleaning in the Taoist temple before, I remember that it was the tenth day of the first month, and the villain just returned to the Taoist temple that day." ”

There are also holidays for the New Year, no wonder the little guy remembers the days so clearly.

"In other words, five days after the Taoist chief surnamed Xie said that the Sun family would catch fire, the Sun family caught fire."

Wu Zhi groaned, and Qin Hui next to him said: "This Xie Daoist is very suspicious, please send someone to arrest and interrogate this person earlier." ”

"Yes, whether this little guy is telling the truth or not, we only need to interrogate Daoist Xie, and everything will be known." Song Gong guessed that Wu Zhi was doubting the authenticity of Xiaowu's clues, and suggested.

"The villain's sentences are true, if there is a lie, the sky thunders"

Slander is a felony, and the little guy obviously panicked after listening to Song Gong's words.

Wu Zhi motioned for the little servant to be quiet, turned to look at Lan Ying, who had always been calm, and asked, "Lord Lan, do you know what the background of this Xie Daoist is?"

"Haha"

Arashi Shadow laughed, as if he had expected Takeshi to ask this question.

He replied: "This Xie Yufan is the chief disciple of Qingxuguan, and who is the head of Qingxuguan, you don't need me to tell Master Wu."

Hearing this, Qin Hui and Song Gong were stunned for a moment, and then frowned and looked at Wu Zhi together.

Wu Zhi looked at Lan Ying with a smile on his face, and suddenly laughed as well.

"Lord Lan, you're tempting me again."

The head of Qingxuguan is the most respected and powerful Taoist priest of the current official Zhao Ji Lin Lingsu If he is the general Taoist priest of Qingxuguan, Kaifeng Mansion will be arrested, after all, the case is serious, and it doesn't hurt to arrest and interrogate, but the chief disciple of Qingxuguan is Lin Lingsu's beloved disciple, if Wu Zhi dares to arrest Lin Lingsu's chief disciple, he will definitely annoy Lin Lingsu.

Lan Ying didn't speak, just to test whether Wu Zhi dared to offend Lin Lingsu in order to handle the case.

"This Xie Daoist is too suspicious, maybe he is a murderer, since I have got a clue from Kaifeng Mansion, then naturally I should come to the official business" Wu Zhi shouted, and the Kaifeng Mansion arrester who was on call outside immediately went to Wu Zhi's side to listen to the dispatch.

"Presumably, Lord Lan has already found out where that Daoist Xie is now, please lead the way, and we will go together to arrest and interrogate this suspect."

In this matter, Wu Zhi must take Lan Ying with him, because Lan Ying is the prince's person, and the prince and Lin Lingsu are not in harmony with the people of the whole Great Song Dynasty, and the reason why the two are not in harmony is because the green ox ridden by Lin Lingsu rushed into the prince when he entered and left the palace, and forced the dignified prince of the Song Dynasty to give way to a cow. The second is because the prince believes in Buddhism and has a conflict of beliefs.

Taking Lan Ying with him is to take the blame for Wu Zhi, so that Lin Lingsu will think that it is the prince or Lan Ying who embarrass them, and will not blame Wu Zhi Wu Zhi is not that he can't afford to offend Lin Lingsu, in fact, Wu Zhi has already offended him by arresting his apprentice, but Lin Lingsu is now a saint, and Zhao Ji is a disciple of him, Wu Zhi can offend him a little, but he can't grudge with him.

Lan Ying smiled helplessly and said: "Lan Ying came today to accompany Master Wu to arrest this person, this person is now happy in Fan Lou, please bring a public servant with me."

Hugging his fist at Wu Zhi, Lan Ying turned around and led everyone out of the court.

With Qin Hui, Song Gong and a large group of people following behind Lan Ying, Wu Zhi touched his nose stupidly, although he was a little bit of a villain's heart just now, but the officialdom is sinister, and it is understandable for Wu Zhi to be cautious.

Fan Lou is the territory of Wu Zhi's family, and when a group of people arrived at Fan Lou, they came directly to the door of the luxury box on the fifth floor where Daoist Xie was located under the leadership of the shopkeeper.

"Kick the door."

Wu Zhi commanded, and Zhang Quan, the new head of Kaifeng Mansion Catcher, immediately stepped forward with a catcher and kicked open the door of the box.

In fact, Wu Zhi and others can go in without kicking the door, but since it is Kaifeng Mansion to handle the case, then taking people should have the momentum to take people.

"Who"

There was a roar in the box, and there was a faint exclamation of a woman.

Wu Zhi ordered a few catchers to guard the door, and then walked into the box with a group of people.

In the box, a strange round table is full of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, which are the most classic and most expensive dishes in the Fan Building, and the round table is very empty around it, only three people sit on the side of the main seat in the north.

A man and two women, the man was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, white and scably, wearing a brocade robe, wearing a Taoist crown, holding a wine jug in his hand and staring at Wu Zhi and the others who broke in, while the other two women were half-exposed, one left and one right snuggled up to the man, obviously the maid who accompanied the wine.

Wu Zhi's Fan Lou does not have a service item to accompany the wine girl, and this maid thinks that the man brought it over by himself.

"You are Xie Yufan"

The catchers blasted away the wine girl and asked the man.

The man's face was full of horror, but after seeing the official errand, he gradually calmed down, with a hint of arrogance in his expression.

"Which official of the yamen are you, since you know the name of this seat, you dare to be presumptuous"

Xie Yufan deliberately didn't look at Lan Ying, but stared at Wu Zhi and the others and asked rhetorically, thinking that he knew Lan Ying, but he didn't take it seriously.

"Hmph"

Wu Zhi sneered, this Daoist Xie had a Hokkien accent, and he was obviously very arrogant in official words, but it was a little funny when he said this.

"Xie Daochang is really happy, not only eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but also beauties hugging left and right, I'm afraid even your master is not as happy as you."

Wu Zhi teased him first, indeed, although Taoist Lin Lingsu is greedy for money and power, he will fool people, but he is a national teacher, and his life style is very correct, and he has the bearing of a fairy style.

Daoist Xie put down the wine jug disdainfully, and said, "Who are you and why are you disturbing my happiness?"

"Our lord is the new judge of Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Wu Zhiwu, and I came to Xie Daochang today because there is a case related to Daochang, and I also ask Daochang to go to Kaifeng Mansion with us." Qin Hui is not salty or indifferent.

Hearing the three words of Kaifeng Mansion, Daoist Xie's eyes obviously drifted for a moment, but he immediately covered up the past, and said with a look of disdain: "Who should I be, it turned out to be a judge of Kaifeng Mansion, I cultivate the Tao all day, what case can it be related to, Master Wu is afraid that he is looking for the wrong person."

Although his tone was disdainful, Wu Zhi was now also a celebrity beside the emperor, and he didn't dare to be too rude.

"Did you find the wrong person, go back to Kaifeng Mansion and ask, Xie Daochang, are you going by yourself or will this official send someone to help you" Wu Zhi said leisurely.

Daoist Xie looked at Wu Zhi, and then at Lan Ying, who had been sneering beside Wu Zhi, and said very uneasily: "This seat is not going to Kaifeng Mansion, if you have anything to ask, just say it here."

Although Daoist Xie guessed that Wu Zhi would not treat him well, he was afraid that Lan Ying next to Wu Zhi would take the opportunity to rectify him, so he didn't dare to go to Kaifeng Mansion.

"This is not a place for interrogation, I think Daochang Xie should move to Kaifeng Mansion" Lan Yingyin.

"No, I'm not going, you have to ask, ask me quickly, and I'll go to see Master in a while, don't delay," said Daoist Xie impatiently.

"Well, if Daoist Xie tells the truth, it's not impossible to ask here."

Wu Zhi slowly sat down opposite Daoist Xie and began to ask, "I heard that Daoist Xie had concluded that there would be a fire in the Sun family before the fire at Lord Sun's house, but I don't know if there is such a thing."

No matter whether Daoist Xie answers yes or no, Wu Zhi will arrest him, unless he has evidence to prove his innocence, otherwise he will not be able to leave the Kaifeng Mansion Prison until the case is clear.

"I don't know what kind of fire case"

Daoist Xie immediately shook his head in denial, and his expression was already starting to be nervous.

Wu Zhi and Lan Ying looked at each other and smiled, this Xie Daoist is too good at lying if he is used to being pampered, and now the Sun family fire case is well known in the Great Song Dynasty, he actually denied it, obviously because of his weak heart.

There is a problem

"Poor Dao cultivates all day long, and he doesn't care about mundane things" As if knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Daoist Xie hurriedly added, "I don't even know about the fire, so naturally I haven't judged anything in advance, I don't know where Master Wu heard the nonsense."

With that, he glanced at Arashikage.

Wu Zhi smiled, picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table and said while playing: "We will never investigate the case in Kaifeng Mansion without a basis, Xie Daochang thinks about it again, did you say it and forget it?"

"I didn't say that," said Daoist Xie.

"Bring people in."

Wu Zhi played with chopsticks, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he directly hooked his hand and asked the catcher to take the little guy with him.

After Daoist Xie saw the little guy, his eyes were full of puzzlement at first, and after thinking for a while, he seemed to remember something, and his emotions immediately became excited.

"Hmph, this is the little guy who was kicked out of the Taoist temple by me before, and he must have a grudge against me."

"I didn't say anything, how did the Taoist know that the little guy slandered you," Wu Zhi asked with a meaningful smile.

To deal with this kind of vegetable ratio, there is not much need for criminal investigation methods at all

Hearing this, Daoist Xie was stunned for a moment, his face turned red for a while, and he simply played a trick.

"Anyway, I didn't say it, just a little guy, what can you do to me"

With his master Lin Lingsu supporting him, he is indeed qualified to play tricks with Kaifeng Mansion.

"Huh."

Wu Zhi smiled, and a pair of chopsticks kept spinning in his hand.

"We Kaifeng Mansion just want the Taoist to tell the truth, as for what can I do with you"

After a pause, Wu Zhi shook the chopsticks in his hand to Daoist Xie, and said, "I don't know if Daoist Xie knows if there is a punishment, which is to put people's ten fingers in the chopsticks, and then only need the two officials to merge the chopsticks forcefully, and it will make people's life worse than death."

After speaking, Wu Zhi demonstrated that he inserted his little finger into the middle of the chopsticks.

"If you dare to torture me, my master won't care"

Daoist Xie has begun to panic, the Great Song Dynasty has been ruling the world with benevolence and righteousness for nearly a hundred years, and there is not much left of torture after the abolition of several generations of emperors, Wu Zhi's punishment of pinching his fingers is still Wu Zhi's sudden inspiration is modeled on the TV series of later generations, the so-called ten fingers and hearts, this kind of punishment does not have to be suffered, just thinking about it hurts.

"Now your master can't control you" Wu Zhi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and threatened: "Give you another chance, say it or not"

"I don't know"

Daoist Xie expected that Wuzhi was just scaring him, so he gritted his teeth and said stiffly.

"Zhang Quan"

"In"

"Torture"

"Don't you dare to touch me"

Wu Zhi said that he would treat him, and as soon as he gave an order, Zhang Quan immediately took two catchers to hold down Daoist Xie, grabbed a handful of chopsticks and clamped his fingers, and then as soon as several people tightened their chopsticks, Daoist Xie immediately howled like a pig.

"I said I said"

Daoist Xie is an authentic soft bone, and as soon as he clamped it, he immediately softened, which made Wu Zhi and the others a little excited.

"It's me who said in advance that the Sun family would catch fire"
