Chapter 190: You Still Don't Plead Guilty?
The news that Zhang Ruo invited Chen Zhi to assist soon spread among all parties in Pengcheng, as if a boulder had been thrown into a lake that was already not calm, causing ripples. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This ripple was quickly transmitted, making all parties in the city talk about it, and in this special situation, a day later, Zhang Ruo finally moved-
Zhang Ruo's side suddenly heard rumors, saying that important progress had been made in the case, and it seemed that it was a clue from Zhuge Yan's servants and guards.
This guard and servant were summoned, ostensibly in accordance with Zhang Ruo's order, but in fact, it was a decision made after Zhang Ruo invited Chen Zhi, and a discerning person would know what was going on at a glance.
In contrast, the commotion on Yu Liang's side is getting bigger and bigger, and in the past two days, he has been tortured one after another, but there has been no effect, and the corresponding rumors have gradually risen and also reached Yu Liang's ears.
"Zhang Ruo said that there is progress? What progress? Yu Liang is also anxious to speed up the progress, and the last thing he wants to hear now is that he is lagging behind in the matter of solving the case.
The subordinate said: "What is the specific progress, the subordinates have not found out, Zhang Ruo's people are tight-lipped and can't ask, and the few eyeliners we arranged to go in have also been discovered, excluded from the inner circle, and there is no news to inquire about." ”
"Don't let our eyeliner touch?" Yu Liang's eyes narrowed, "This is interesting, those eyeliners are actually known by Zhang Ruo for a long time, the reason why he didn't eradicate them was to paralyze me and pass me the wrong information, it was a trick to make a plan, but he shouldn't know that I already knew that he knew about eyeliner, so this arrangement is worth thinking about, indicating that there is really something to discover." ”
The subordinates on the side were already dizzy when they heard the "I know I don't know", but they still heard the deep meaning of the words, so they asked: "What do you mean, this is not a suspicious formation, but a deliberate rumor?" ”
"It is very likely that Zhang Ruo has a law to do things, and the reason why I was so anxious before I was in a hurry was to do things well in advance before Zhang Ruo made a move, otherwise I would fall into passivity, but unfortunately now it backfires." Speaking of this, Yu Liang's face was a little gloomy.
But then someone came running and informed him that it was Tingwei Zheng who had sent a message and asked him to come over and listen to the hall.
"Sure enough, it still came, Zhang Ruobacheng made some discoveries, but the official was very curious, what is this discovery? How can Chen stop moving, there is such progress, is it? Suddenly, Yu Liang stopped talking, his face showed a look of thought, and several key points flashed in his mind.
Wang Mi's purpose, the black hand of the thief behind the scenes, the thief is divided into two parts, the servants and guards of the ice tower.
Suddenly, a thought popped out of his heart, which made Yu Liang very angry, and he finally realized that he had neglected somewhere!
"Yes, why didn't I think that with the situation of the Zhuge family, even if there are people behind Wang Mi, all of them are martial arts masters, but it is not so easy to succeed, whether it is from Chen Zhi's description or Tao Ya's description, the situation at that time was very weird, as if Wang Mi's side made a move, Zhuge Yan's many guards were defeated, there must be some reason for this, but I just think it is caused by the thief's strong martial arts! Negligence! ”
In fact, Yu Liang was not unprepared when he came, he deduced several possibilities through limited intelligence on the way, including someone behind Wang Mi, this incident is not an inference of an isolated incident.
After arriving here, his actions were also based on this consideration, by arresting more thieves, to collect intelligence from multiple aspects, and to restore the original appearance of the incident by using the method of puzzles.
It's a pity that I don't know much about these puzzles, which leads to slow progress, and now I am about to lag behind Zhang Ruo, who started later?
His subordinate paid attention to Yu Liang's expression and said, "Yushi, what should we do?" Is it in the past? ”
Yu Liang sneered, nodded and said: "Of course I want to go, if I don't go, others will say that I am narrow-minded, and I am not there, how can he Zhang Ruo do anything wrong, and if the name is messed up at that time, who can supervise?" ”
After speaking, without waiting for his subordinates to come back to their senses, they should go first and go towards the county guard yamen.
The trial of the case this time was still held in the back hall of the county guard's office, but not in the side hall, but in the big back hall in the middle -- there were three halls behind this yamen, one large and two small, the big one in the middle, and the small one on both sides.
At that time, when Zhao Chen Zhi came to inquire, it was in a small room, but now the number of people involved in the case has increased, there are more than ten or twenty servants alone, plus a few tall guards, and for a while, even this lobby seems crowded.
When Yu Liang and the others arrived, they saw such a scene, looking inside, they could see Zhang Ruo sitting on the main seat, while Chen Zhi was sitting on the side, and on the side were other officials in charge of recording.
This scene is just like the scene when Chen Zhi first came and saw Zhang Ruo and Yu Liang, but the situation has changed, and it was Yu Liang who was sitting next to Zhang Ruo at that time.
Yu Liang obviously had a similar thought, his expression became more and more ugly, but he didn't say anything, walked through the crowd in the lobby, and came directly to Zhang Ruo's side, where a place had already been prepared for him, located on the left.
Yu Liang sat up without saying a word, and then remained silent.
Zhang Ruo said: "Since Yu Congguan is here, let's start officially, and you will talk about the situation again." ”
His words were addressed to the servants and guards in the hall, after all, these people were cultivated by the big family, and they understood that the public hall was quiet, so when they were waiting just now, they were also in order, and now as soon as Zhang Ruo asked, an obvious leader came out, and once again recounted the situation on the day of Wang Mi's attack.
However, this person obviously introduced from the perspective of a servant, and there were discrepancies with the descriptions of Chen Zhi, Tao Ya and others in details, but there were additions in many aspects, including what was the situation on the second floor when he encountered the situation on the first floor, and the movements of Zhuge Yan's third uncle Zhuge Meng, and how he went downstairs.
After this person finished speaking, Zhang Ruo did not express his position, but asked the others to tell what he had seen and heard in turn, but there was a person in this who was quite special, and his description was different from the others-
"I was in the backyard at the time, just walked into the room, I heard a scream behind me, and when I turned my head, I saw the thief wielding a long knife and slashing directly at my body, but because there was a man on the side at the time, he was slashed and killed together, and blood was splashed on his body, which may have made the thief misunderstood, so that he could escape with his life, but it's a pity for those people, alas......"
The narrator of these was a servant named Ji Fu, who was a survivor of the Wang Mi incident, when Wang Mi led his men and soldiers into two ways, one way from the backyard to kill them, and the other way to put down the guards of the Zhuge family outside the door.
In fact, there are guards in the backyard, and after a fight, they are all suppressed, in addition, this thief is even more ferocious, killing all the servants and men in the backyard, and the means are clean and neat, leaving almost no life.
This Ji Fu was the only survivor who appeared in his own room after the incident, and his injuries were not serious, although there was a lot of blood on his body at that time, but most of them were bystanders.
When this season was narrated, it was obvious that he had palpitations, and he couldn't bear to recall, and when he talked about the tragic death of several colleagues, he was even more faintly choked, which made people unbearable to watch.
"Okay, I know, you can rest assured, you have justice." Zhang Ruo's words were still cold, and they sounded reassuring, but there were no emotional fluctuations, which made people unable to figure out his thoughts.
But it was so Yu Liang, after listening to Ji Fu's words, he snorted coldly, his expression was stiff, his eyes swept over Chen Zhi, and when he saw the latter's expression as usual, he immediately frowned.
Over there, a few people came from outside the hall, and it was Xu Hui and Su Jun, who heard that the case had progressed and came over to express their concern.
After some pleasantries, there were suddenly a few more seats in the hall for a few people to sit down.
Xu Hui and the others were not surprised when they saw Chen Zhi, but looked at a few people in the hall and fell into deep thought, they had a feeling that something might happen in today's normal court trial.
On the other side, Zhang Ruo asked a few more guards.
These guards were all wounded, they were all defeated that day, and a few of their colleagues were killed, and now listening to the accounts of others, recalling the scene of that day, they are hateful, ashamed, and sad.
"Zhuge Jing, I heard that you are the leader of the guards, you have served in the barracks in the past, and you have also been a personal soldier of the previous generation of Wuxiang Marquis, and you are a few masters in the army, in your opinion, what are the skills of those thieves?"
That Zhuge Jing was a tall man, and there were wounds on his face, so when he heard this, he said: "The few thieves who attacked us are themselves masters of martial arts, and they are on par with us in terms of reaching out their hands, especially the surprise attack, plus they have obviously been in the army, and they have a degree of cooperation between advance and retreat." ”
"You are the elite of the elite, and your martial arts are even better, so you were sent out to protect Zhuge Yan, and you are not the opponent of the thief, so the thief is even more elite than you?" Zhang Ruo said as usual, "The thieves are just rogues, and you are all elites, but they were quickly knocked down, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense." ”
"This ......" Zhuge Jing was ashamed and annoyed, but he still had to answer, "Maybe it was caused by a surprise attack, and I lost the first move, so I was passive everywhere, and my body felt a little uncomfortable." ”
Zhang Ruo asked rhetorically: "Isn't it a word of shirk?" ”
"It's not!" Zhuge Jing hurriedly shook his head, "This is our dereliction of duty, where do we dare to shirk." ”
Zhang Ruo asked again: "Is this what you feel alone, or is it all of you?" ”
Zhuge Jing was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "There are all of them." ”
Zhang Ruo shook his head and said: "That's weird, didn't you encounter a surprise attack in the army in the past, since you are the elite of the army, it is really incomprehensible that you will play often because of this kind of thing." ”
Zhuge Jing's face was suddenly red, and he longed for a crack in the ground to get into.
But Zhang Ruo continued: "Unless, what is the reason for this...... As he spoke, his gaze suddenly moved to Ji Fu's body, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Ji Fu, you still don't admit your guilt?!" ”
