Everyone returned to the governor's yamen, Yue Su was promoted to the main hall this time, and the three bronze guillotines of dragons, tigers and dogs were placed on the right side of the public case, and the officers stood on both sides, and arranged chairs for Zhu Gongfang and Zhao Wen to sit down. Yue Su sat in the middle, knocked the startled wood, and shouted loudly: "Take people to commit Mao Sheng and Yan Huan." ”

After a while, Mao and Yan brought it, and with a "mighty" sound left and right, without waiting for the messenger to make a move, the two boys took the initiative to kneel on the ground. "The little ones see the adults."

rushed up and finished snorting, and then saw Zhu Gongfang and Zhao Wen who were sitting in the lower hands, the two thought that the savior had arrived, and hurriedly kowtowed to the prince and Zhao Gonggong. "Little prince, it's good that you're here, you must save the little ones to go......"

How could Zhu Gongfang care about the life and death of this group of people, and said coldly: "Useless killing talents, this time I just asked you to teach Qiu Laosi a lesson, why do you want to kill?" ”

This question is just that Zhu Gongfang wants to clear himself of the charge of murder, Mao and Yan thought that the little prince had the heart to protect him and wanted to make the big thing small, so he hurriedly said with a bitter face: "The little one didn't want to kill, he just wanted to stab Qiu Laosi twice." The result was also unsuccessful, there was already an ambush there, and as soon as I made a move, I let the people of the governor's yamen capture it. ”

Zhu Gongfang didn't know how the two were caught, and he thought that when he sent someone to kill him, he happened to meet with the messenger sent by Yue Su to lift people, but now when he heard this, he woke up like a dream and fell into Yue Su's urn. Secretly taken aback in his heart, he glanced at Yue Su, and his heart and eyes were active for a long time before he said: "You killers, you are just confused, you don't care about this time, just see what Lord Yue does." At the same time, he also made up his mind in his heart, even if Yue Su passed on that Qiu Laosi to confront him about leaving the city, as long as he denied it, he couldn't do anything about himself.

Mao Sheng and Yan Huan listened to Zhu Gongfang say that they didn't care, and then they understood that the meaning of the main family was to let themselves carry everything. The two of them put together in their hearts, what should I do about this, I don't know if I will lose my head after I admit it, if I can't die, it's better to say that the little prince can reward a lot of money, and I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. I'm afraid, once I want to kill my head, how can I be good. However, if you don't admit it, you will say that it is the mastermind of the prince, and the prince is a royal noble, and it may not be a big deal, and in the end, he will not only take his head, but also have to affect the whole family.

After weighing it, the two said: "Lord Yue, the little prince did ask us to teach Qiu Laosi a lesson, and we just wanted to stab him twice, not with the intention of assassinating." ”

"Mao Sheng, Yan Huan, the two of you assassinated Qiu Laosi, both of them have been stolen and seized, signed and detained, and the iron case is like a mountain. If this is the case, you are an accomplice, and you can reduce the crime by one degree, and you will not be killed; If what is said is false, according to the previous confession, it is to frame the prince of the world for murder, and the crime will be increased by three degrees, and the whole door will be destroyed. ”

How could Yue Su not see their thoughts, seeing that the two of them had doubts, worried that the whole family would be harmed by the palace, and wanted to bear all the responsibility, Yue Su simply cut off their back road. If you continue to bite Zhu Gongfang's mastermind, I can not kill the two of you and your entire family, if you dare to confess your guilt, I will directly kill all of you according to the laws of the court.

This kind of naked intimidation is also the best blow to criminals.

The law of the Ming Dynasty is good at this, with severe punishment and strict law to suppress you, do not let you point fingers and bite in the court, once you sign and draw the charge, find out what you say, you will be sentenced according to the crime of framing, and if you frame others for any crime, you will add three degrees.

The Lord's murder is a capital crime, and another crime is added to the third degree, but it is not a raid on the house. When Mao and Yan heard these words, they panicked at the moment, and if they didn't admit their previous confessions, they would have to be destroyed. The name of 'Yue Shaved Head', they have also heard of it, it is really to cut off whoever is headed, and there is no mercy at all, and now if you want to carry the black pot, they will not give you this opportunity.

This time, admitting to being framed, the whole family will be killed immediately, and continuing to bite the little prince has become the only chance to survive, as soon as the case is over, he will leave Luoyang City immediately, and he may not be able to die. At that moment, the two of them immediately said: "Lord Hui, the previous confession, there was no half of a lie, it was indeed the little prince who instructed the two of us to kill Qiu Laosi, and said that after the matter is completed, there will be a heavy reward." ”

"Nonsense, I'm just saying, let you teach Qiu Laosi a lesson, how did he make you kill. In order to escape responsibility, you two are indiscriminately pointing fingers! Zhu Gongfang said loudly.

"Little prince, what you said in person, you can't deny it. The two of us have no grievances with Qiu Laosi, why do you want to kill him, I didn't listen to your orders. Lord Yue, please be clear. Mao and Yan also shouted loudly.

"I didn't say that the two of you had a holiday with Qiu Laosi, and I also admitted that I asked you to teach him a lesson, but I didn't let you kill him. I just said before, I wanted to eat sugar gourds, and let people buy them privately, but I ate a worm, and I was angry in my heart, and I wanted you to teach him a lesson. What does it matter to me that you have understood the wrong meaning? Zhu Gongfang said eloquently.

"Little Wangye, can you speak with your conscience, you just let us kill Qiu Laosi, why did you say that it was just a lesson. In that case, we wouldn't have gone with knives. Mao and Yan were so anxious that they were about to cry. After all, the two of them were also afraid that Yue Su would believe Zhu Gongfang's words, and if he was really framed for murder, the crime would be increased by three degrees.

The three of them kept prevaricating, Yue Su was on top, sneering in his heart, this is what he wants now. If the case is closed immediately, there will really be no drama. This kind of thing, even if Zhu Gongfang really admits that the Lord murdered people, it will not be his turn to deal with it, but he will go straight to heaven to hear, or reprimand, or hand over to the Zongren Mansion. Only by dragging it out like this can it be Yue Su's turn to interrogate.

The two argued continuously, and at this time, a messenger ran to the door, and the officer was wearing the jailer's uniform, and his face was full of panic, "Great, my lord...... ...... in prison Go out...... Something big is wrong......"

"Huh?" Yue Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Look at you scared, what big things can happen, come and talk." As he spoke, he beckoned to the jailer.

The jailer ran to Yue Su's side, lowered his voice, and muttered. After hearing this, Yue Su said angrily: "Nonsense, where did the unjust souls ask for their lives, this ghost and god talk is all nonsense. Even if that person is dead, like such a person who has lost his conscience, within two days, I also want to use a dog's head to kill him! ”

After speaking, Yue Su stood up, bowed his hand at Zhu Gong, and said: "Shizi, something happened in the prison of Xiaguan, now I have to go and take a look, you and Gonggong Zhao, sit down for the time being, I will go back when I go." ”

"Lord Yue, please." Zhu Gongfang and Zhao Wen also bowed their hands to Yue Su, muttering in their hearts, I don't know what happened in the prison. But listening to Yue Su's tone, it seemed to be haunted and killed.

Yue Su walked out of the main hall and did not walk in the direction of the prison, but sent the jailer away, passed through the back office, and went to the back house. When I came to Zhongjin, I happened to see Yang Yishan and Jin Cicada blocking the door of the flower hall, as if talking to Zou Jiaren and his son.

He walked over quickly and greeted loudly, "Teacher, have you finished eating?" ”

When Zou Jiaren saw Yue Su coming, his originally calm face showed a little color, but he still said with a little sarcasm: "It's almost time to apply, can you finish eating, and I drank three pots of tea." Bingyan, where have you been? ”

Yue Su arched his hand and said, "Let the teacher wait for a long time, I really don't want to go, it's just that there is a case in front of me, and I am in a hurry to try it, and I forgot the time." While speaking, he walked to the door of the flower hall, made a gesture of please, and said, "Teacher, let's talk inside." ”

His identity is there after all, that is, he has a teacher-student relationship with Zou Jiaren, so he is so polite, if he is someone else, he doesn't even need to explain. Zou Jiaren also knows how to be proportionate, even if he is Yue Su's master, he is also Yue Su's subordinate, and he can get by in terms of face, if you are relying on the old and selling the old, you can't say it. nodded and said, "I see, official affairs are important, and there is no need to blame yourself for being strict." But I don't know what kind of case went wrong? ”

"Don't hide it from your teacher, didn't the student say in the morning that he wanted to mention Qiu Laosi, who was selling sugar gourds, to come to recognize people, but when the servant went, he encountered someone who intended to assassinate Qiu Laosi, and he started to do it twice, and my people captured all two assassins alive. brought back the first trial, and it was known that it was someone sent by the prince of Zhou. Yue Su said as he peeked at Zou Feng's expression.

Zou Feng listened to the first half of the sentence, his expression was nervous, and he listened attentively, and when he heard that the assassin was captured and confessed to the instructions of the little prince, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. Yue Su saw all this clearly, but he didn't move at all, and then said: "After getting the confessions of the two, I personally went to the Zhou Palace, and invited the prince to the yamen, and now the two sides are confronting each other in the right hall." ”

After saying this, Zou Feng trembled again, but fortunately, Zou Jiaren was calmer and said, "Bingyan, I don't know what the result of the confrontation is now?" Does the prince admit it? ”

Now the two of them insisted that it was the son of the world who instructed them, but the son of the world only admitted that they were asking the two of them to teach Qiu Laosi a lesson, and they did not intend to take his surname. If it were someone else, I would definitely torture to extract a confession, but it was the prince of Zhou, the royal family and nobles, how could I move lightly. Therefore, I was very embarrassed, so I thought of discussing it with my teacher to see what countermeasures I had. Yue Su said lightly. At the same time, he was still watching Zou Feng's actions.

When Zou Feng heard these words, his hanging heart finally fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, his every move did not escape Yue Su's eyes at all. Yue Su told him this, in fact, it was another temptation, and now he can be sure that Zou Feng has definitely gone out of the city with the prince. Following this line, it is not difficult to find out.

Zou Jiaren saw Yue Su's intention to ask him, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he only said: "You are strict in enforcing the law like a mountain, so far, there is no case that cannot be solved." Being a teacher is more stupid than you, and even you can't do anything, and there are no good ideas for being a teacher. The prince of Zhou, that is the golden branch and jade leaf, even if the evidence is conclusive, he can't be beaten without authorization, not to mention that there is only one side of the word now. It's difficult, ......" said, Zou Jiaren deliberately sighed, "The teacher doesn't have to sigh, this case is difficult to say, it's not difficult to say it's not difficult, in fact, everything is already clear." And let the students analyze the teacher, on the first day of the first day of October, the prince led people out of the city without authorization, and killed people by riding a horse. In order to worry about the leakage, after returning home, he hurriedly killed all of them. Who expected that the sky net was restored but not leaked, and when he went out of the city, Hu Cong's horse met Qiu Laosi, so Qiu Laosi could clearly remember the appearance of the son. The headquarters visited the matter, and was afraid that someone would accidentally leak it out and be known by the prince, so the prince was in a hurry to kill people and send someone to assassinate Qiu Laosi. Everything is so obvious. The difference is only the last ironclad evidence......"

Yue Su said to himself, as if he didn't regard Zou Jiaren as an outsider at all.

Zou Jiaren nodded and said, "That being said, even if this is the case, where will the ironclad evidence be found?" You can't rely on inference to convict the prince of Zhou. ”
