Chapter Seventy-One: A Dilemma

"That's not how the word 'lonely' is written... Ye Gucheng was really helpless, he taught for most of the day, and Xuanyuan Xiu couldn't even write his name well!

Xuanyuan Xiu's mouth pursed, put down the pen and said, "I won't write it." ”

。。。。。。

It's so hard to serve, I can't sleep well, I just dragged him out of bed and said that I want to learn to write, and now, after only a long time of learning, I won't write!

Seeing Xuanyuan Xiu sullen, Ye Gucheng smiled bitterly: "Or, I'll teach you to paint?"

All right!

Ye Gucheng realized again that this was a bad idea! I can't write well, and I still have the talent to draw?

Ye Gucheng's paintings, Xuanyuan Xiu has already seen them, the paintings of flowers and trees are lifelike, and he is suddenly interested, and his eyebrows are smiling.

Finally, Ye Gucheng paid a heavy price for this decision, looking at the things that looked like graffiti beyond recognition, his forehead hurt, but Xuanyuan Xiu's interest was undiminished, it seems that he doesn't have to sleep tonight!

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded.

"Lord Qiqi City, something has happened!"

Ye Gucheng's heart sank, slowly stopped playing with Xuanyuan Xiu, and walked out quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"Xuanyuan has killed someone!"

"What did you say?" Ye Gucheng was suddenly shocked, and his face turned pale.

The scene of the murder was full of people at this time, and the girl was lying quietly on the bed, her eyes were full of horror, and she didn't even blink an eye!

When Ye Gucheng arrived at the scene and saw this scene, he was cold all over his body, and the short sword inserted in the girl's chest was a short sword that belonged to him better than anyone else!

However, why did Xuanyuan rape and kill the girl?

How could such an upright and sunny boy become a murderer in the blink of an eye?

"Where's Xuanyuan?"

"Returning to the city lord, he has been detained in the Guard's Mansion. ”

"Let's go, go to the Guard's Mansion. ”

Xuanyuan Xiu looked at the figure in the distance, and her expression became extremely complicated.

"Lord City Lord, I didn't kill anyone! I really didn't kill anyone!" Xuanyuan Lidang saw Ye Gucheng, tears couldn't help but flow, although he held a coming-of-age ceremony, but after all, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy! He had already seen the disappointed eyes of the clansmen, and he didn't want to see the heroes he worshiped disappointed in him.

"Hmph, which murderer would admit to killing someone?" Zhang Jie smiled coldly, at this time, he was the happiest one.

The clansmen were killed, and the Xuanyuan clan sat and watched the wall, and now, he wanted to see how the Xuanyuan people would react, and even more wanted to see if Ye Gucheng was really iron-faced and selfless? For this reason, when he heard that the Xuanyuan people were killing people, he happily followed Zhang Tao and the others.

"Zhang Jie, pay attention to what you say, the matter has not yet been clarified, you say that Xuanyuan Lidang is the murderer, what is the purpose?" Although Xuanyuan Wuji is not angry, he will never watch him be convicted.

"What do you mean that it hasn't been found out yet?" Zhang Hao hated Ye Gucheng very much, and seeing that the other party was silent, he suddenly said angrily: "The human and material evidence is complete, Xuanyuan Li raped and killed women, and he should be beheaded according to the rules of the city." ”

"You dare?" Xuanyuan Wuji instantly became angry.

"You see if I dare. Zhang Hao was not to be outdone, gritted his teeth and said: "Is it possible, our Zhang family can kill at will, and you Xuanyuan people don't have to be punished?"

"You... Xuanyuan Wuji was angry for a moment, and pulled out his saber with a sigh.

The Zhang family also followed suit.

"That's enough!" Ye Gucheng saw that the atmosphere was tense, so he stopped drinking in time, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "If it's too late today, this matter will be discussed tomorrow." ”

Zhang Tao glanced at Ye Gucheng deeply, and said in a deep voice: "It is a matter of order in the new city, and Zhang hopes that the city lord will deal with it impartially." ”

This is a threat! How could Ye Gucheng not hear it!

Xuanyuan Zhuo stared coldly at the figure in the distance, and said indifferently: "The old man believes that Dang'er will not do such a foolish thing, Lord City, you must give Dang'er justice." ”

Xuanyuan Lidang heard the patriarch's words, and tears overflowed again.

"Patriarch rest assured! Ye Gucheng will definitely find out the truth, if Xuanyuan is wronged, he will never be wronged. Ye Gucheng's expression was solemn.

Xuanyuan Zhuo's heart warmed, Ye Gucheng called him the patriarch at this time, he undoubtedly regarded it as his own family! sighed, and left with the clansmen first, after all, it was not suitable for them to stay any longer!

Ye Gucheng watched everyone leave, his eyes turned, and he stared at Xuanyuan and said, "Dang'er, tell me what happened in detail, remember, don't miss any details." ”

Xuanyuan adjusted his mood and slowly said what happened.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!

Ye Gucheng lay quietly on the bed, his heart fluttering.

"The Lonely City... If Dang'er really kills someone!" Xuanyuan Xiu bit her lip and said softly, "Can you not kill him?"

In my impression, this is the first time Xuanyuan Xiu has begged him!

Ye Gucheng's heart was full of bitterness, and he didn't know how to answer, so he chose to be silent.

Xuanyuan Xiu couldn't hear an answer for a long time, turned over slowly, and saw his sweetheart sleeping with his eyes closed, and he was gloomy.

Early in the morning, Ye Gucheng came to the scene of the murder early, and during the day, there was plenty of light to see more details, and through observation, he was obviously aware of the first unreasonable place.

The bed of the dead!

Although the body was gone, and the bed was covered with blood, there were no obvious signs of struggle, and if the girl was really forced to bed, it would definitely not be as smooth as this.

There is no shortage of veteran investigators in the Xuanyuan clan, and with just a few glances, it can be asserted that the house is by no means the scene of the first murder.

Secondly, the door lock is gone!

According to Xuanyuan's description, he could push the door open directly without unlocking it after returning home, and also said that he would lock the door every time he went out, so it can be inferred that the murderer must have picked the door lock and secretly put the body inside.

Now, this crucial door lock is gone!

As for the dagger, friends can attest to the fact that Xuanyuan was lost before the murder.

On the surface of the above evidence, Xuanyuan was really framed, and as a result, the Xuanyuan people and Ye Gucheng breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ouyang Jing's words made Ye Gucheng have to face another reality, everyone watched, and the Zhang family refused to give up, and with just a few words, he wanted to redress Xuanyuan Li, but he couldn't convince the public!

"Who can pry open the door of the room and secretly transport the corpse in under the eyes of the patrol guards?Moreover, why did you frame Xuanyuan Lidang?" Ye Gucheng was really puzzled by this.

You must know that Xuanyuan's house is located in the downtown area, and the patrols are relatively dense, besides, he is just a boy who has just turned sixteen.

"First of all, there must be more than one person on the other side, and secondly, it must be familiar with the laws of patrols. Ouyang Jing pondered for a moment, and then slowly continued: "If you can grasp the time of changing guards and the rules of patrolling, if you don't have a premeditated plan, you must be someone in the patrol camp." ”

Compared with the former, Ye Gucheng is more inclined to the latter, so he focuses on the people in the patrol camp who may have conflicts with Xuanyuan Lidang, but after investigation, no one in the patrol camp has ever had conflicts with Xuanyuan Lidang!

Seeing that he couldn't find any valuable clues here, Ye Gucheng decided to turn the breakthrough to the deceased's house.

"Go, go to the deceased's house. ”

Outside a private house, the gate was full of people.

"Oh!

"Que Lao is too extreme! The city lord will definitely uphold justice for their family, and now... ”

"Their eldest son was killed in battle, their daughter was killed again, and the youngest son was young, so it is estimated that he couldn't think about it for a while, and the whole family hanged himself!"

Listening to everyone's discussions, Ye Gucheng felt a chill in his heart.

The families of the victims are all dead!

"Participate in the castle lord!"

Everyone hurriedly saluted when they saw Ye Gucheng coming.

"Lord of the city, you have to be the master for us! The old Que family died too unjustly!"

"Yes! Kill the murderer!"

Ye Gucheng watched the people's grievances boiling, and suddenly felt a huge pressure.

At this moment, Zhang Jie slowly walked out of the house with his troops, sneered and saluted: "Participate in the city lord!"

Xuanyuan Kang saw the object in the other party's hand, and his face changed drastically.

Xuanyuan's detached military card!

Whenever the Xuanyuan clan enlists in the army, the patriarch will personally issue a military card to show his identity, the military card has never left his body, and now it is in the hands of Zhang Jie, is it...

When his subordinates learned that the victim's family had committed suicide, they immediately led troops to check on it, and found that there was a suicide note, as well as a military badge that Xuanyuan had lost when he robbed the people's daughter. Zhang Jie's words were like a thunderbolt falling on Ye Gucheng's heart on a sunny day.

Chamber.

A strange atmosphere flowed slowly.

"So... Zhang Tao smiled coldly, and slowly continued: "What Xuanyuan Deputy City Lord means, Xuanyuan is wronged!"

"Xuanyuan was wronged, he was framed by someone. Xuanyuan Wuji didn't like the other party's attitude very much.

"Framed?" Zhang Hao smiled suddenly, and immediately, his face became cold. "Who dares to frame the soldiers of Xincheng? Besides, Zhang Jie has already searched for Xuanyuan Lidang's military badge from the deceased's family's house, which is enough to show that Xuanyuan Lidang has indeed been in contact with this family, so do you still want to exonerate him?"

Xuanyuan Kang hurriedly explained: "Regarding this, Xuanyuan Lidang has already explained, he was bumped by someone that night, although he can't see the appearance of the other party clearly, but it must be this person who stole his military card." ”

"Jokes. Zhang Jie sneered: "This is how your Guards Mansion acts? Would you rather believe the exculpation of a murderer than the words of the victim's family? Or do you Xuanyuan want to ignore the rules of the city and favor the clansmen?"

"What did you say?" Xuanyuan Wuji had already lost his temper, and he couldn't help but stand up when he heard the words.

"Sit down. Ye Gucheng's expression was cold.

Xuanyuan Wuji was unwilling to sit back.

"General Zhang, pay attention to your words, now they are all generals of Xincheng, how can there be a difference between races? At this moment, Ye Gucheng gave full play to the momentum of the superior.

Zhang Jie's heart sank, and he responded: "My subordinates know their mistakes. ”

Seeing that the two sides had calmed down, Ye Gucheng sighed secretly and muttered, "There are still doubts about Xuanyuan's separation。。。。。。 ”

"City Lord!" Zhang Tao coldly interrupted Ye Gucheng's words, and said loudly: "Now that the people's grievances are boiling, the city rules are like mountains, if the murderer can't subdue the law, how can he obey the people?"

"Please kill Xuanyuan according to the rules. ”

All the generals of the Zhang family pleaded in unison.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the Xuanyuan people were extremely ugly.
