Two days later, in the evening, a carriage stopped in front of the Wuchang Mansion prison under the cover of night, and Li Hongyu and Li Renhe got out of the carriage and were led in by the cell boss waiting in front of the prison door, Li Hongyu carrying a food box in his hand.

"Wait a minute, both of you." The cell boss took the two to a side room, then got up to leave.

"This poor master, hard work." Seeing this, Li Hongyu put the food box in his hand to the side of the table, chased after it quickly, and quietly stuffed a silver ingot to the cell leader.

"Case Chief Li is too polite." The cell boss reached out and took the ingot of silver, and walked away with a smile, looking very satisfied.

Seeing this, Li Renhe couldn't help but shake his head secretly, opened the food box and put out the wine and food inside, because Li Hongyi was in the prison, none of these large and small officials and servants in the prison dared to offend, and they were waiting for them one by one, for fear that they would give Li Hongyi small shoes to wear.

Not long after, with the sound of shackles, Li Hongyi, who was disheveled and haggard, was brought in by the cell boss, and his eyes looked a little dull.

Thinking about it, Li Hongyi has already been sentenced to death, and he is waiting for the execution of the autumn execution in the autumn after the criminal department passes the official death sentence reported by the Wuchang Mansion next year, so he must be anxious in the prison and have trouble sleeping and eating.

"Daddy! Hongyu! When he saw the people in the house, Li Hongyi's somewhat cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly walked a few steps in surprise to Li Renhe, and said urgently, "Dad, you have to believe me, I didn't kill anyone, I was wronged." ”

"Daddy knows, Daddy believes in you." Seeing Li Hongyi's frightened look, there was an indescribable fear in his eyes, he had already lost his former high-spirited look, Li He's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he replied repeatedly.

"Poor master, see if you can take these things off." Li Hongyu noticed Li Hongyi's current downfall, sighed helplessly in his heart, walked to the cell boss and pointed to Li Hongyi's handcuffs and shackles.

Hearing this, the cell boss waved to the two jailers who followed him, and one of the jailers came over and opened the shackles on Li Hongyi's body.

"Errand servants, brothers have worked hard, buy some wine to drink." Li Hongyu smiled and gave the cell head a piece of silver, which was the price paid to remove those shackles.

"Then thank you for the compassion of the head of the case." The cell boss couldn't help laughing, and then beckoned the two jailers to leave, the Li family must have a lot to say, he was not interested in these words, and there were some things that the less he knew, the better.

"Yi'er, what happened that night, how did you get into a life lawsuit?" After waiting for the cell boss and the jailer to leave, Li Renhe asked Li Hongyi to sit at a table full of wine and food, and asked with a concerned face.

"Dad, I don't know what's going on, I drank a lot of wine that night, and then I went to rest, and I was caught in my sleep by the yamen's officers." Li Hongyi shook his head helplessly, his face was full of gloom, until now he didn't know how he fell into the trap of others.

"Second brother, tell us what happened that night." Li Hongyu knew that Li Hongyi didn't have a clue about Mingyue Pavilion's case now, so he said in a deep voice.

"That night, Chen Morui from Wuchang Mansion invited some students to Mingyue Pavilion to drink flower wine, and I was also among the invitees, the atmosphere of the banquet was very good, and everyone's interest was very high."

Li Hongyi stabilized his mind and said with a gloomy expression, "In the middle of the banquet, I went to the toilet with Chen Morui and others, and met Xu Tao on the way back, but when I staggered by, I accidentally bumped into him, first there was a quarrel and then a conflict, and I was slapped by Xu Tao in the chaos. ”

"Later, the people of Mingyue Pavilion separated us, and then went back to drink, and after the banquet was over, they slept in Mingyue Pavilion, and something happened when they woke up." Saying that, Li Hongyi looked up at Li Hongyu and said with a wry smile, "Hongyu, I really didn't kill anyone, someone framed me." ”

"Second brother, of course I believe you, there are many irregularities in this case." Li Hongyu bowed slightly to Li Hongyi when he heard this, and then asked in a deep voice, "At that time, you just bumped into each other, and everyone was a student who took the exam, so there was no need to fight, right?" ”

Li Hongyu is very curious about the conflict between Li Hongyi and Xu Tao, Li Hongyi is not the kind of person who does not know the seriousness, and he does not disdain to make rude actions such as fighting with others, which is undoubtedly a sweep.

At the court trial of the Wuchang Mansion, the prefect Xia Xiang did not delve into the cause of the conflict between Li Hongyi and Xu Tao during the trial, but valued the fact that the conflict did break out between the two, and Li Hongyu was not good at sending people to understand the parties so as not to startle the snake, so Li Hongyu did not know the process of the outbreak of the conflict.

And this is very important in Li Hongyu's opinion, because this incident caused Li Hongyu to have the motive to hurt Xu Tao, so he must find out what is wrong here.

"Originally, it was nothing, but Xu Tao and Chen Morui formed a bond when they were drinking in the Yellow Crane Tower, so we both quarreled because of the collision, and Xu Tao slapped me during the dispute." Li Hongyi smiled bitterly and explained that if he knew that such an accident would happen, he would not have gone to the damn toilet.

"What a coincidence." Li Hongyu couldn't help but show a helpless look on his face when he heard this.

He knew what happened in the Yellow Crane Tower, a group of Wuchang Mansion students and a group of Changsha Mansion students disagreed and fought, which turned the Yellow Crane Tower upside down, and even the government was alarmed, so it is not surprising that Xu Tao and Chen Morui formed a bond.

"Second brother, do you remember why Xu Tao beat you?" After pondering for a while, Li Hongyu asked with a frown, wanting to know some details of the conflict.

"The situation was too chaotic at that time, everyone was pushing and shoving together, maybe he hit me in a hurry." Li Hongyi smiled bitterly, and he could only consider himself unlucky to be beaten in the chaos.

"Second brother, think about this matter after you go back, and the more details you remember, the better." Li Hongyu knew that he couldn't make Li Hongyi think of more things for a while, so he opened his mouth and instructed that the more details Li Hongyi remembered, the more beneficial it would be to his case.

"Okay, I'll go back and remember it carefully." Li Hongyi nodded again and again, although it was not clear why Li Hongyu was interested in this matter, but since Li Hongyu cared about his case, he must be cautious, which meant that he had not been forgotten.

"Second brother, do you remember if your sachet was on your body after the banquet?" After receiving Li Hongyi's affirmative answer, Li Hongyu immediately asked the second question, which is the most direct evidence related to Li Hongyi's murder.

"I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and I drank a lot of alcohol, so I really can't remember." Li Hongyi shook his head, many people at the banquet that night were drunk, and some details were really hard to remember.

"How much wine did the Redsleeve Girl drink that night?" Li Hongyi's answer was expected by Li Hongyu, and he asked after a deep sigh.

Red Sleeves is a red-card girl in Mingyue Pavilion, who accompanied Li Hongyi at the banquet that night, and Li Hongyi stayed with her at night.

According to the testimony of the red-sleeved personal maid Wuya in court, Li Hongyi still had the sachet on her body when she slept in a wide dress that night, and she personally untied it and put it on the table at the bedside, but the sachet appeared on Xu Tao's body the next day.

"The girl with red sleeves also drank a lot, and everyone was very happy at that time, and they frequently raised their glasses to drink." Li Hongyi thought about it and replied, otherwise Wu Ya would not have given him a wide coat, in fact, the red-sleeved shirt was also taken off by Wu Ya.

In fact, Red Sleeves did drink a lot of wine that night, and everyone present could confirm that she was already drunk when she helped Li Hongyu back to her residence, and she couldn't even walk steadily, so Xia Xiang thought that it was impossible for her to touch Li Hongyi's sachet.

And because she had come into contact with Li Hongyi's sachet, Wuya was tortured in the torture room of Wuchang Mansion Prison to extract a confession, but Wuya insisted that she had not touched the sachet after being beaten to death, and Li Hongyi couldn't remember the sachet clearly, so the sachet became evidence of Li Hongyi's murder.

"Second brother, if you hadn't killed someone, then the sachet wouldn't have appeared on Xu Tao's body for no reason, and the knife wouldn't have appeared in the room of the red-sleeved girl for no reason." Li Hongyu's brows furrowed, and he said solemnly to Li Hongyi.

"It's impossible, the girl in the red sleeves won't hurt me!" Li Hongyi was slightly stunned, he was a smart person and naturally understood what Li Hongyu meant, then shook his head and said, "Besides, no one saw anyone enter or leave my room that night." ”

"Second brother, just because no one sees it doesn't mean that there isn't! Or maybe someone made arrangements in advance. Li Hongyu quietly corrected Li Hongyi's statement, he suspected that someone had entered and exited the room of the red sleeves and put the murder weapon, or that the murder weapon was placed in the room of the red sleeves in advance.

"Arranged in advance?" Li Hongyi's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then he looked at Li Hongyu suspiciously, "Hongyu, according to the verification of the work, the murder weapon is indeed the one that killed Xu Tao, how did they hide the murder weapon before the crime."

"It's very simple, just find two murder weapons that are the same, as long as you smear human blood on the blade, then even the pretending can't tell if it's the one that killed Xu Tao." Li Hongyu had been prepared for this and explained to Li Hongyi in an orderly manner.

At this moment, not only Li Hongyi, but even Li Renhe were stunned, the two never thought of this, I have to say that Li Hongyu's words are very reasonable, and it may happen in reality.

"But I don't have any enemies in Wuchang City, why do they want to frame me?" After the initial stunned, Li Hongyi couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu in confusion, puzzled by this question, he didn't offend anyone, why did the other party do such a poisonous thing.

"Perhaps, it's all just a coincidence." Li Hongyu couldn't answer this question now, so he said with a wry smile, there is no doubt that Li Hongyi is just a pawn used by the murderer.

"I ...... What should I do? ”

Li Hongyi couldn't help but become nervous, his eyes flashed with a look of expectation, although he still had no clue about the case, but after Li Hongyu's analysis, the context became clear, which undoubtedly gave him hope of overturning the case.

"Second brother, you go back and think carefully about some details of that night, the more you think about it, the better." Li Hongyu thought about it and told Li Hongyu in a deep voice, "Don't mention this matter to anyone, if you think of something, tell the cell boss that you want to eat sweet and sour fish, and my uncle and I will come to see you at that time!" ”

"Good!" Li Hongyi nodded again and again when he heard this.

Li Renhe on the side also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, all his hopes are now pinned on Li Hongyu, it is obvious that after the scene just now, he realized that Li Hongyu's ability to investigate the case is far stronger than him.
