"General, Mrs. Feng, the grain and grass have all been counted now, and this is the account book after the counting."

In the barracks, Hu Heng handed the account book to Chu Xiping.

Chu Xiping took the account book and sighed, "Master Feng, no matter what you say this time, General Ben is guilty of lax management of his subordinates. ”

"General, no one thought that Li Zhi would do this, how can these responsibilities be attributed to you." Saying that, Hu Heng immediately bowed his hand to Feng Yihan and spoke, "Mrs. Feng, in the final analysis, this matter is all a mistake like Li Zhi being confused for a while, and actually sitting down, but it has nothing to do with the general, I hope that after Mrs. Feng arrives in front of the emperor, he must explain a few more words for the general." ”

"General Hu, please rest assured, you know what to expect." As soon as Feng Yihan's words fell, Feng Qing hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Enlighten the master's subordinates, there is something to report."

"What?" Feng Yihan asked.

"Master, it's Li Zhi, just when his subordinates wrote a complaint about the crime he confessed to in the past two days and asked him to sign it, he suddenly changed his mind again."

"What's the change?" Chu Xiping frowned, "Didn't he admit all the crimes?" ”

"It was true that he had already admitted one by one before, but just when he was asked to sign and draw the charge, he suddenly said that this matter was not done by him alone, and reversed the confession he had admitted before." Feng Qing frowned tightly and looked at Feng Yihan, "Master, this matter is not trivial, just having a signed confession is definitely not enough, the emperor will definitely have to interrogate him personally, if the confession we get is inconsistent with what he said, I am afraid there is no way to explain it in front of the emperor." ”

"Can he tell him what's going on?" Feng Yihan paused for a moment, "There may really be an inside story in this matter, after all, according to the previous confession, everything was done by Li Zhi alone, but such a major thing as embezzlement and deducting military rations may not really be done by him alone from beginning to end." ”

After Hu Heng on the side heard this, his eyes darkened slightly, "Taifu Feng, do you mean that you want to be re-arraigned?" ”

"If he has now overturned the confession, he will naturally be re-arraigned. However...... "Feng Yihan paused, "Before, Taifu Ben repeatedly asked him if he had anything to hide, and he kept silent, but now he suddenly changed his hexagram again, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd." ”

"Taifu Feng, this matter has been delayed for a long time, and everything was admitted very smoothly before, but now at this time, he suddenly changed his words, could it be because Li Zhi was afraid that once he signed and detained, he would be punished, so he wanted to use a delaying strategy to delay your return to the imperial city." Hu Heng thought about it and said.

Feng Yihan nodded, "It's not impossible, it was originally scheduled to return to the Imperial City in three days, and there is still time." ”

"Then Master Ziming, do you want to go to the prison now and listen to what Li Zhi plans to say?" Feng Qing asked.

Feng Yihan was silent for a moment and shook his head, "He has been reluctant to speak before, and now he has suddenly changed his words, why should we be so anxious." If he really wants to say something, he will give him another night to think about the cause and effect, and then he will naturally be interrogated tomorrow. ”

Feng Qing immediately arched his hand and said, "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

Although Li Zhi suddenly refused to draw the charge, this matter did not cause too many twists and turns, and after quickly discussing the date of departure, Feng Yihan returned to the general's mansion.

Night, in prison.

Li Zhi sat in the cell, and his whole expression was extremely depressed.

When he heard the footsteps, he thought it was a patrolling jailer, and slowly raised his head, but after just one glance, the whole person was stunned.

"Is that you?"

Opposite, Hu Heng, dressed as a jailer, stood at the door of the cell and looked at Li Zhi.

"Judging by the way you look, you probably didn't expect me to come."

"It's a prison after all, and there are a lot of jailers patrolling it around, and I thought you wouldn't take that risk." Li Zhi paused for a moment, and then laughed again, "But at this juncture, since you are willing to take the risk to come, you are definitely not here to save me." ”

The only reason is that the other party is here to kill people now, and he has confessed all the crimes, but he still refuses to let himself go.

"Li Zhi, we have obviously discussed it before, and you will admit all the crimes, but I didn't expect that when the matter came, you actually regretted it again." Hu Heng raised his hand faintly, and the crossbow arrow tied to his wrist emitted a cold light, and it looked like it was quenched with poison.

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, "What nonsense are you talking about, I have already admitted all the crimes, and I have not repented at all." ”

"Stop quibbling, I already know, today you refused to sign and draw the charge, and changed your story to say that you are innocent in this matter, and asked to see Feng Yihan and re-overturn your previous confession." Hu Heng looked at Li Zhi, "After all, I have been friends for so many years, I originally planned to keep your life, but now it seems that this life will not be kept." ”

"Who are you listening to, I didn't want to retract my confession at all, and no one came to me to sign it!" Li Zhi was a little anxious.

Seeing that Li Zhi's expression was sincere, not like he was lying, Hu Heng suddenly chuckled in his heart, and the next moment the whole person trembled.

"Not good!"

Put away the crossbow arrows, Hu Heng was about to leave immediately, but suddenly the fire was bright all around, the wind was cold, the clouds were clear, and Chu Xiping all appeared.

"It turned out to be you, General Hu." Feng Yihan looked at Hu Heng, and the expression on his face seemed to be a smile.

And Chu Xiping's face was serious, "Hu Heng, I never thought that this matter would have something to do with you!" ”

"General, Taifu Feng is not like this, you must not misunderstand." Hu Heng's eyes trembled, "I just thought that I had known Li Zhi for many years after all, and I thought that I might never see each other again after this time, and I was a little reluctant, so I secretly pretended to be a jailer to visit for a while, and it was regarded as a final goodbye." ”

"General Hu, we have all heard what you said just now, and now that you don't need to quibble." Feng Qing watched Hu Heng speak, but in his heart he was cautiously guarding against the crossbow arrows in his hand.

Hu Heng was gritting his teeth and looking at what appeared in front of him, and everyone sneered after a while.

"It seems that you have already suspected me, and those words in the barracks were simply said to me, in order to lure me to do it, right?"

"Yes." Feng Yihan looked at Hu Heng, "So you can now explain clearly, what kind of role did you play in this matter." There is also the matter of embezzlement of grain and grass, what is the truth. ”
