After the man finished speaking, Liu Zhi grabbed the startling wood in front of him and slapped it on the table, and said angrily to Xiao Yao: "What else do you have to say?" ”

So it was, Xiao Yao stared at the man and fell into deep thought.

He came out of the Meng Mansion that day, until this person returned to the Meng Mansion, the real murderer was able to kill the Meng family in this short period of time, obviously not done by one person, and he must have sneaked into the Meng Mansion before he left the Meng Mansion, and it is even possible that in the Meng Mansion at that time, except for Meng Xiangrui and others in the secret room, he had already suffered an accident.

"Someone! Press him to the front of the stage and correct the Fa on the spot at three o'clock in the afternoon! Liu Zhi saw that Xiao Yao had no reaction, but when he confessed his guilt, he would be brought to justice as soon as he gave an order.

Xiao Yao stepped forward and said loudly: "My lord, I have a few questions to ask him, and I also ask the two adults for permission." Liu Zhi was about to object, but was stopped by Yu Yong, who had not spoken beside him, and agreed to Xiao Yao's request.

Xiao Yao turned to the man, stared at him and asked, "First question, did you see the process of my murder with your own eyes?" Please answer truthfully! ”

"It's... No. But..."When the man heard Xiao Yao's question, he was obviously stunned, and wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Xiao Yao.

"The second question, the Meng family was killed, you are the first witness, yes and no?"

"Yes! After that, I shouted for help, and was heard by the two big brothers of the soldiers who were guarding the door, and then they ran in. The man recalled the scene and said truthfully.

After Xiao Yao heard this, he turned to the stage and said, "My lord, I don't know if there is an autopsy?" What killed the dead? At this time, Yu Yong's lieutenant Zhu Yun walked out from the side and said: "I personally led people to the Meng Mansion that day, and carefully identified them, all of them were killed by a sword cut their throats, and there were no other injuries. ”

Everyone could hear Zhu Yun's words clearly, Xiao Yaofu turned to the man and asked, "When you saw me that day, did you see me with a sword on my body?" Without waiting for the man to speak, he asked Zhu Yun again: "Presumably, the person who sent the message to the adult was the soldier who stood at the door that day, can you invite him to confront him?" I was taken to Meng's house by them for questioning that day, did you see me with a sword? ”

The man recalled carefully and replied, "No." He asked the soldier who was guarding the door that day and got the same answer as the man. At this time, Zhu Yun hurriedly said, "So what? You can throw away your sword after you've killed everyone! ”

Xiao Yao sneered, he really didn't dare to compliment Zhu Yun's speculation, and asked rhetorically: "Then have you found the sharp sword that slaughtered the Meng family's door in the Meng family?" ”

Zhu Yun looked at Xiao Yao's contemptuous and disdainful look, and was furious, if it weren't for the public, how could he be willing to give up. Hummed: "The Meng family is also one of the largest households in Baling City, and the Meng Mansion has hundreds of houses, so why is it difficult to hide a sword?" It's normal that you can't find it. You're going to have to quibble again! ”

Xiao Yao looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, his face slowly turned cold, and he said disdainfully: "Big joke!" If you want to add sin, there is no excuse! ”

The atmosphere in the field was tense, Zhu Yun's face was swollen red, unspeakably ugly, his eyes stared at Xiao Yao motionlessly, and he wanted to break his body into pieces. When the two sides were deadlocked, Liu Zhi gave an order to temporarily take Xiao Yao into custody and retry him at a later date, on the grounds that he would send someone to Meng's house to carefully search for evidence of Xiao Yao's crime, which was limited to three days.

Xiao Yao was taken out of the field by the soldiers, Zhu Yun hated Xiao Yao for embarrassing him three times and twice, staring at Xiao Yao's swaggering appearance, where did he look like a prisoner! He followed from behind, pushed away the soldiers on the side, and reached out to grab Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao reflexively twisted his body, dodged Zhu Yun's arm, and only heard a crisp sound of "Dangchang~", as if something fell to the ground. Looking down, it turned out to be the jade pendant given to him by the shopkeeper Qin of Piaoxiangju and fell down and smashed to the ground.

Xiao Yao bent down to pick up the jade pendant, and in the crowd around Xiao Yao, a middle-aged man saw the jade pendant, sighed lightly, and was extremely surprised that Xiao Yao could have this jade pendant on his body, he knew the meaning of this jade pendant, looked at Xiao Yao carefully, got into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

In the evening, in the county guard, Liu Zhi was receiving a mysterious visitor, who was in his forties, not smiling, but not angry and arrogant. The mysterious man took out a token from his arms and threw it to Liu Zhi silently, Liu Zhi took the palm-sized ink gold token, only glanced at it, and saw a striking big character on the side of the token, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and fell to the ground with a plop and bowed to the mysterious person.

"Get up~" The mysterious man still had a salty and nonchalant tone, and seemed to be used to this kind of thing. Liu Zhi got up slowly, but he always bowed his body to show his respectful attitude towards the mysterious man, invited the mysterious man into the inner room, served fragrant tea, and stood aside waiting for the mysterious man's orders. I was worried in my heart, and I secretly thought about how to please him.

"The prisoner you interrogated today, whose name he is, where he is, and what crime he has committed, will tell me exactly what you know." After the mysterious man sat down, he asked Liu Zhi on the side, and he was only concerned about these things now.

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, his heart turned back and forth, and he couldn't help but think, could it be that the prisoner had any background? I didn't dare to waste time, and told the mysterious person everything I knew, including Xiao Yao beating people in the inn that day, being taken away by Meng Xiangrui, and then being arrested by Zhu Yun.

The mysterious man put one hand on the table, his fingers tapped rhythmically, listening to Liu Zhi's introduction, and had a preliminary understanding of Xiao Yao in his heart. But no matter what kind of person Xiao Yao is, there is no doubt about one thing. As long as he can have that jade pendant, then this person must keep it himself, and nothing can happen to him.

"Let that person go, the Meng family's affairs are closed, you don't have to ask more, just know that he is the person the prince wants." When the matter is done, I will report this matter to the prince. The mysterious man finally said the purpose of the trip, Liu Zhi agreed, a small Meng family in exchange for their future progress, happy in his heart, as long as he handled this matter properly, even if he hugged the giant tree of King Qin.

The mysterious man came and went in a hurry, and after he left, Liu Zhi could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, he was a little crazy with excitement, and his face was full of pride. After half a ring, adjust your mentality and call the next person: "Prepare a sedan chair~"

The official sedan chair went towards the garrison camp outside the city, Liu Zhi sat in the sedan chair, thinking about how to settle things and let Yu Yong release him, after all, the two had an agreement before, and now he suddenly changed his hexagram, and he didn't know how to explain it.
