Chang Feng also said: "That's right, this is exactly what Brother Xiao wants to find out." Presumably, the prince and the princess also have this doubt, so they let Brother Xiao be in charge of this case. ”

Fu Yuan nodded and said to Xiao Jiading: "I didn't expect that my brother's internal strength is so strong, just now I was worried that my brother would suffer, I didn't expect you to crush his palm and break his knee!" Tsk, this skill, to be honest, the two of us don't have it. Admire, admire, admire. ”

Chang Feng also said: "Yes, I understand now, last time I Han Bingdie assassinated the prince, Brother Xiao blocked Han Bingdie's palm with his back in order to save the prince, at that time I thought that Han Bingdie did not use all his strength, so Brother Xiao was not injured, but I didn't expect that Brother Xiao had strong internal strength, so he was not injured." - Brother Xiao, how did you train your strong internal strength? ”

"It's just a coincidence. Let's not talk about this matter for now, I'm waiting here because I want to ask you two something. ”

Fu Yuan said: "If you have something, just say it." ”

Xiao Jiading said in a low voice: "This Shao Dong estimates that his mouth is very tight, I want to extort a confession, but I estimate that ordinary torture tools are only afraid that he can't pry his mouth open, both of them are masters, can you teach me a few tricks to extract a confession?" ”

Fu Yuan and Chang Feng laughed, and Fu Yuan said: "Your internal strength is so strong, if you want to force a confession, it is as easy as a finger." I'll teach you a technique of pointing, it's very simple but very effective. If you use it, even the dead will not be able to speak. ”

After that, Fu Yuan told Xiao Jiading about the acupoints and the method of exercising the exercises, Xiao Jiading is now full of internal strength, and performing this is indeed a pediatric, and he learned it quickly.

Chang Feng smiled and said, "This trick is very vicious, I can't teach such a vicious trick, but I'll tell you a secret." How can I help you persuade Shao Dong to confess. ”

"Oh? Captain of the guard, please. ”

Chang Feng lowered his voice and said, "This Shao Dong likes a personal maid beside Princess Yang very much, named Xue Qing. has always flattered her, but people ignore him. He had been depressed. If you want to move this maid to come forward to persuade her, Shao Dong may explain. ”

Fu Yuan scolded with a smile: "What the hell are you thinking? Why should he listen to a woman? ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Maybe not, but for him, maybe it will." There are some men in this world who are very addicted to this. ”

Xiao Jiading nodded: "That's right!" I just don't know if this Shao Dong is this kind of man, try it and know Lu Dao, thank you for your advice. Leave! ”

Xiao Jiading turned around to leave, but was stopped by Fu Yuan. He whispered, "There is one thing I have to remind my brother." ”

Xiao Jiading saw what he said solemnly, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, please speak." ”

"Your internal strength is very strong, and there are only a few people who can compare to you. However, internal force is only the foundation, and internal force itself cannot actively hurt others. If it weren't for Shao Dong taking the initiative to attack you today, and I didn't know that your internal strength was so strong, it would have made you grab his hand and abolish him. If the opponent knew that your internal strength was very strong, he would not let you succeed so easily. And. Will use the blade to fight you. No matter how high your internal strength is, you can't be invulnerable, right? Judging from your hands, your martial arts moves are far from your internal strength. After knowing that you are fine, it is not difficult for an ordinary first-class master to kill you. So. Brother reminds you not to show your internal strength easily until your martial arts skills are raised high enough. The rivers and lakes are sinister, and many people are jealous of other people's abilities. Even if he has no enmity with you, seeing that your internal skills are so high and your martial arts skills are so poor, I am afraid that he will attack you. This kind of person who harms others and does not benefit himself. There are a lot of rivers and lakes, and you can only be careful to hold up the boat for ten thousand years! ”

Xiao Jiading's heart sank, what Fu Yuan said was indeed the truth, he didn't think so much before, it seems that he has to be more careful in the future, don't easily reveal his details.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiading bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for the reminder, and the younger brother should keep it in mind." ”

Fu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your internal strength is so strong, it's very simple to learn martial arts, it's still the same sentence, come to me when you have time, I'll guide you." ”

"Thank you!"

Xiao Jiading thanked Fu Yuan, said goodbye, and saw that Liu County ordered them to wait at the door, and there were some female nuns from the Emei faction, leading horses and waiting at the door. Xiao Jiading walked over.

Liu Xianling smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Xiao for helping solve this case, otherwise, it would be a real headache." ”

"Well said! Now that this case has been solved, the interrogation matter will be handed over to me, so let's go to the Shaocheng County Ya, you will live in the post station and wait for me, after I finish the trial, I will hand over all the cases to you to be promoted to the court to judge the case. Luckily? ”

"Good! Just do what Brother Xiao said. ”

Huiyi and their help escorted Shao Dong to the Yamen of Shaocheng County and imprisoned the prisoners.

Seeing that the matter was successfully completed, Huiyi was very relieved, so she said goodbye to Xiao Jiading and went back to Emei Mountain.

Xiao Jiading sincerely bowed his hand and said: "Thank you for your help, if it weren't for the news you provided, saying that this Shao Dong and the deceased had fought that day, I really didn't think of him, after all, he is the chief of the palace guard, there is really no need to kill Xiao Soul and the eldest lady of the Qu family." You reminded me, and I immediately thought of the long knife similar to the long sword I saw him that day, at that time, I didn't know that this kind of long sword-like knife was very rare, and I confirmed that it was him, because of the poem that Xiao Soul left on the wall of the eldest lady of the Qu family, since I knew his name, and then looked back at this poem, I knew the intention very clearly. So, at the end of the day, it's you who play the key role. ”

Huiyi smiled, her pretty face flushed slightly peach, and said softly: "If Brother Xiao can use the affairs of our Emei faction in the future, just give orders." ”

"That's nature! You're welcome. Xiao Jiading said with a smile.

Huiyi glanced at Xiao Jiading, then bowed her head and folded her head, said goodbye, and rode away with her subordinates.

Xiao Jiading watched her slender back disappear into the distance, and then took his gaze back.

Huang Zhutou took out a bunch of money to thank the husband Lao Zhutou, and the old Zhutou thanked him happily and left.

Liu County ordered them to go to the post station to stay, and Xiao Jiading immediately began to interrogate Shao Dong.

He was very suspicious that this case was likely to involve something in the palace, so he hinted that Princess Yang should not directly hand over the case to Wan'an County, but try it directly by herself, and now that the goal has been achieved, Xiao Jiading ordered Shao Dong to be taken to a separate interrogation room.

According to Tang law, the interrogation of prisoners can generally be punished, but according to the regulations, the official in charge of the trial should preside over the trial in the lobby. However, before the palm seal official is promoted to the court, it is generally necessary for the clerk in the criminal room to take out the draft verdict, and after the layers are submitted for approval, the palm seal official is promoted to the court to ask the case and make a judgment. Therefore, the work of collecting evidence is generally handled by the scribes of the torture room, and if they are not given the power to use criminal trials, then under the extremely backward criminal investigation conditions of the Tang Dynasty, there is no way to find out many cases. As a result, there are workarounds in various places, that is, the scribes conduct interrogations in prisons, and the torture instruments used are often not the two kinds of canes limited by Tang Law, but all kinds of things.

The interrogation room in Shaocheng County is also like this, which is used to extract confessions from scribes, so there are some commonly used torture instruments in it.

Because of Shao Dong's martial arts, for such people, the yamen prison has a special interrogation room, with iron chains through the pipa bone and locked on solid marble walls. The pipa bone is locked, and no matter how high the martial arts are, it can't be used. The jailer threaded his lute through the lock before leaving. Xiao Jiading was the only one in the interrogation room.

Shao Dong's hand and foot were shattered, and Xiao Jiading did not let the prison call Lang Zhong for treatment. At this moment, it was already swollen and high, and it was so painful, but Shao Dong didn't let out half a moan. He just sat on the ground of the bluestone slab, looking at Xiao Jiading sitting behind a few cases with blank eyes.

Xiao Jiading said: "We don't have to waste time, and you don't doubt my determination to extract a confession, so you still have to explain honestly, so as not to suffer hardship." - Tell me, how did you murder Xiao Soul and Miss Qu? ”

Shao Dong swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said: "I heard that the prostitute Xiao Soul appeared in Miss Qu's boudoir, and I knew that this lewd thief wanted to harm the people's daughters, so I found him, and I wanted to catch him and send him to the government, but his martial arts were good, although I defeated him, he still ran away." He's so good at light that I can't catch up. I was worried that he would then go to harm the eldest lady of the Qu family, so I rushed to the boudoir of the eldest lady of the Qu family, but I didn't expect to really meet him in the house, and he had already killed Miss Qu. Under the fierce battle, I killed him, and that's it, I was worried that I couldn't tell clearly, so I faked the scene. ”

Xiao Jiading sneered: "In this way, not only are you not guilty, but you have merit?" ”

"I can't talk about credit, I can't save the eldest lady of the Qu family, I'm sorry."

Shao Dong knew that as long as he insisted that he did not kill the eldest lady of the Qu family, the crime of killing Xiao Soul would be much lighter, after all, he was a notorious thief.

Xiao Jiading said: "You can only be a liar. We have verified that although this Xiao Soul has a notorious reputation as a thief, he is in love with the eldest lady of the Qu family, and has been in private for a long time. Miss's maid also said that Miss Qu had revealed her thoughts to the maid, and if this Xiao Soul really wanted to have an affair with her, she would not really refuse. Because, Xiao Soul has no reason to kill the eldest lady of the Qu family, including a reason to attempt rape. In addition, if it was really him who killed the eldest lady of the Qu family, what did he do when he wrote the poem that implied that you killed him? Obviously, after he couldn't beat you and escaped back to Miss Qu's boudoir that day, he already had a premonition that you would chase him, so he left this poem as evidence. The old man proved that you fought for a while before he was defeated, but in Miss Qu's boudoir, we only found a trace of a blade on the wall, and the maid who lived next to him also proved that she only heard the sound of things hitting the wall, and did not hear the sound of other fights, which can only show one thing, that is, you did not engage in any fierce battle in the boudoir, but you attacked him and knocked out the single knife in his hand. In addition, if you really didn't kill Miss Qu, you wouldn't need to hurt the prince and princess just now to escape. - So, I can clearly conclude that Miss Qu and Xiao Soul were both killed by you, and you faked the scene. Do you admit it? (To be continued......)
