And then it came back.

Maybe it's because you don't dare, or maybe it's because you're unwilling.

Don't dare because you can't offend Kun Zhi in the end, of course, what Xue Huai is afraid of is not Kun Zhi, but behind him, those who can threaten him and let him leave the Huaiguo Mansion. No matter how much he doesn't like the people of the Xue family of Huaiguo Gong, on the other hand, he really can't leave the Xue family.

The unwillingness is because he was threatened, and he was threatened by a small servant, which Xue Huai couldn't bear.

Under the contradiction between the two, he didn't know which side accounted for more weight, in short, in the end, he came back.

Zhen Shiyuan pondered.

The most subtle part of the whole thing so far is undoubtedly what Xue Huai just said.

At that time, the bridge was not broken, but he asked Xue Huai to report that the bridge was broken, and asked him to report the bridge until dawn. After that, although he made a mistake, he went to Xu's house to report the news at dawn, and indirectly did what Kun Zhi asked him to do.

Why did Kun Zhi say that? This is undoubtedly the weirdest part of the whole thing.

Zhen Shiyuan's index finger gently tapped on the table, a little puzzled.

At that time, Kun Zhiren said with a smile, if everything Xue Huai said was true, then Xue Huai's reaction was right, shouldn't a normal person's reaction be that he was humiliating me and making fun of me?

It makes sense to leave with your sleeves and something.

As for what Kun Zhi did, saying such a thing and laughing, it is very likely that it is not his own thoughts, but the meaning of the master behind him, the second son of the Xu family. According to Xu Hexiu, when there was a conflict during the day, Kun Zhi held the plum blossom vase, and his frozen hands were almost stiff but still motionless, which showed that he was not a small guy who had the courage to disobey his master's order.

Therefore, can it be considered that this is the meaning of the second son of the Xu family, or the group of people represented by the second son of the Xu family.

His own people are in the bridge, but the bridge is broken...... Are they trying to trap themselves in the tower? But why is all this? Why did he do it? Zhen Shiyuan was puzzled.

Knocked on his forehead with a headache: This is really incomprehensible, it would be good if the one on Shanxi Road was here, she always had some wild ideas, and sometimes he couldn't help but shoot the case. However, this kind of trapping herself in the Que Tower, I'm afraid she couldn't even think of it at the first time!

Zhen Shiyuan pondered for a long time before he shook his head and sighed: That's it, he admits it, how can he think of these things at this moment?

Facing Xue Huai, who looked strange on the other side and became more and more dazed the more he thought about this matter, Zhen Shiyuan coughed and reminded him, "You continue." ”

Of course, there is a premise for such a strange thing, and the premise is that this Xue Huai is not lying.

Xue Huai was called by him, came back to his senses, and continued: "So after I got down the mountain, I turned back again, and brought my crossbow arrows, ready to teach Kun Zhi a lesson. ”

"This time, it was not completely dark when I went up the mountain, but when I went up the mountain for the second time, it was already dark, and I only brought a lantern with me to light, so I could only walk as I fumbled. When I groped my way to the vicinity of the snow viewing platform, I bumped into a figure near the snow viewing platform, I thought it was Kunzhi, so I moved the crossbow arrow. Xue Huai said.

Zhen Shiyuan's face immediately changed when he heard this: "It's dark, and you are indeed attacking people, Xue Huai, do you want this official to remind you what is the chance of killing people with this arrow." ”

If so, it is also possible that Kun Zhi was killed by him by mistake.

Xue Huai's face froze, knowing that he was wrong, and said embarrassedly: "I know, it's just an impulse at the time......"

On the spur of the moment again, Zhen Shiyuan snorted coldly, noncommittal.

Xue Huai didn't say anything more impulsively, just paused for a moment, and said, "However, Lord Zhen, I'm sure I didn't shoot Kun Zhi." ”

Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyes: "Isn't it dark?" How sure are you going to be? ”

Xue Huai said: "Because I went up to check at the time, after that person was hit by my arrow, he ran into the depths of the snow forest, and I only saw his footprints when I walked nearby." ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Why don't you chase it?" ”

"Why should I chase?" Xue Huai, who heard this, had a strange look on his face, "I shot someone, do you still want to catch up and kill them all?" ”

This made Zhen Shiyuan choke: It actually sounds very reasonable.

If you don't want to kill them all, you naturally don't chase them.

"And it was so dark that I was scared when I started to do it." Xue Huai said again, "What if the other party wants to kill me?" ”

The victim was also afraid of being harmed, so he didn't chase him.

"I'm sure that person is not Kun Zhi because Kun Zhi was on the ground not far away at the time, and he was hit by an arrow in the back, and the person was already dead." Xue Huai's face turned pale as he spoke, "He was already dead at that time." ”

He was really frightened, and instinctively stepped forward to test Kunzhi's snort, confirming that the person was dead, and then the whole person panicked.

"I panicked, I instinctively wanted to run down the mountain to report to the official, but I only took two steps, fell on my heels, and saw the arrow falling in the snow." Xue Huai lowered his head as he said and sighed, "It's my arrow that he held in his hand earlier." ”

The arrows reminded him that he had used his crossbow arrows indiscriminately, and that he could not remember how many arrows he had fired.

"I also want to get those arrows back, but it's so dark, and I shot them indiscriminately before, so I'm really afraid that there will be fish that will slip through the net, and I think about the things in the daytime, I ...... I burned my crossbow bolt. Xue Huai said and glanced up at Zhen Shiyuan, and affirmed, "I burned it with my own hands, so I naturally know that the crossbow arrow machine you found is not my thing at all!" ”

Zhen Shiyuan snorted, hugged his arms as if he was in deep thought, and didn't say much for a while.

Xue Huai waited for a while, but didn't wait for him to speak, thought about it, and couldn't help but say again: "That thing is not mine, maybe it is the real murderer." ”

Zhen Shiyuan glanced at him and said slowly: "There is a possibility." ”

Hearing this, Xue Huaicai breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that the next moment, I heard Zhen Shiyuan's voice ring again: "However, what you said may also be made up." ”

Still don't believe him?

Xue Huai smiled angrily: "How is it possible?" What am I making up here? ”

"Naturally, it's to get rid of the crime!" Zhen Shiyuan asked him rhetorically, "Don't you want to get away with it?" ”

Xue Huai was speechless for a while.

"Also," but Zhen Shiyuan didn't give him a chance to react, paused, and said, "Why didn't you report to the official after you burned the crossbow arrow?" ”

Xue Huai was stunned when he heard this, and only said after a while: "I'm a little scared...... Originally, I didn't know what I wanted to do, but then I went back and thought about it all night and went to Xu's house, and reported the letter according to Kunzhi's statement. ”

Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyelids: "Then when you go and return to see Kun to death, is the bridge broken?" ”

"I was terrified, why did I pay attention to this?" Xue Huai glanced at him and said, "I didn't pay attention from beginning to end, I didn't know at all." ”

After a pause, in case Zhen Shiyuan didn't believe it, he said again: "When you passed the word that I saw the bridge broken, I was frightened. ”

"Really?" Zhen Shiyuan glanced at him, noncommittal.

"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth." Facing his obviously unbelieving eyes, Xue Huai turned his head angrily, "It's true, what the hell is going on, I'm still in the dark, why don't you wait for the bridge to be restored, and ask the people in Que Tower." ”

"I can't contact anyone in Que Lou right now." Zhen Shiyuan lowered his eyes, took the interrogation record recorded by the clerk on the side, read it, and asked people to bring it to him and let him confirm, "I don't know how things are going on." ”

"It has nothing to do with me." Xue Huai snorted coldly, "This little guy's death has nothing to do with me at all, it was done by that murderer." ”

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Who made you not report to the official at that time?" You are the most important suspect in this case right now. ”

"I didn't kill anyone." Xue Huai paused as he spoke, and when he met Zhen Shiyuan's blank eyes, he suddenly let out a laugh, "Besides, isn't it just a little guy?" ”

Little guy, to be precise, belongs to the lowly family, the slave, which high-ranking family does not have a few lowly blood in their hands, and no one has seen such a strict investigation!

Zhen Shiyuan folded his arms indifferently, looked at him and said, "That can't be helped, this case happened to be in front of Zhen, and Zhen naturally has to take care of it." ”

He didn't even believe in the words of justice for every slave who died in vain. Most of the manpower in this world is limited, and he Zhen Shiyuan does not have the ability to do this. It's just that now that Kun Zhi's death has stabbed him in front of him, he has to try this case well.

Xue Huai sneered, didn't argue anymore, just let the official untie him from the stake, and prepared to take him to prison.

The moment he left the interrogation room, he heard Zhen Shiyuan's voice ring again.

"As far as you can see, what can Yu Shihuan and the others do when they get together?"

"How do I know?" Xue Huai said disdainfully, "My lord, you also know that I am not friends with these people, and I don't move around at all on weekdays. And how do you know what they are going to do? ”

"That's not true." When Zhen Shiyuan heard this, he stood up from behind the table, and then walked in front of him with his hands, looked at him, and said, "The one who knows a person best is often his enemy, not his friend." Aren't you the enemy of Yu Shihuan and others? ”

Hearing this, Xue Huai's face was even more ugly, and when he heard this, he only said angrily: "That's painting, I don't know anything else, can you let me leave?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan nodded at the two officials who were holding him, motioned to send him back, and then paced back to the back of the table.

To be honest, he didn't fully believe Xue Huai, but if what Xue Huai said was true, who was the murderer? Why shoot Kunzhi? Why did those people in the Que Tower let Kun Zhichuan say such things? Also, how did the bridge break?

All this made Zhen Shiyuan think more and more of a headache.

"Your Excellency."

An official came in through the door at this time.

Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyes and saw the person coming, mumbled, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

It was Tang Zhongyuan, I don't know why he came over suddenly.

After Tang Zhongyuan saluted him, he got up and said, "My lord, Qiao Shu asks to see you." ”

Joe Book? Isn't this the kid who lives in that girl's house? Hearing this name, Zhen Shiyuan involuntarily sat up straight and said, "What is he looking for this official?" ”

Tang Zhongyuan took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Qiao Shu said that he remembered some things about Zhu Zhicheng. ”

Zhu Zhicheng? Zhen Shiyuan, who was dazed in his mind, moved his lips, and instinctively asked, "Who is that?" ”

Seeing this, Tang Zhongyuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Miss Qiao is not here, look at the adult's memory, even he has some impression of this name!

Of course, Master Zhen's peak has a bad memory, so he naturally has to remember to remind him as a subordinate.

So, Tang Zhongyuan said: "I seem to have seen this name on the list given by Lord Xu in Que Lou. ”

To be precise, this Zhu Zhicheng should also be trapped in the Que Tower.

Zhen Shiyuan's reaction was not slow, and after he reminded him like this, he suddenly realized: "Is it a student of Guozijian?" ”

Tang Zhongyuan nodded and said, "That's what Qiao Shu said. ”

When Zhen Shiyuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then let him come in and talk." ”

Although Kun Zhi's death is very important to him here, after all, human life is a matter of heaven, but from the perspective of this case, the most strange thing is not Kun Zhi's death, but those people in the Que Tower.

I have to say that if Xue Huaifang lied and made everything he said was made up, it would really make him completely confused. But if Xue Huai hadn't lied, then the strangest thing about the whole case so far was Kun Zhi's sentence, which made him even more confused.

It really makes him confused no matter how you look at it.

Strange, really weird. Zhen Shiyuan frowned.

Qiao Shu was brought in by Tang Zhongyuan at this time.

The prison of Dali Temple is also the first time he has seen it, but he has seen the prison of Jinling Mansion before, although it is not something that he wants to remember, but with the comparison of the previous prison of Jinling Mansion, this prison of Dali Temple is not unfamiliar.

After all, they are all prisons under the rule of Lord Zhen!

"The grass people have seen Lord Zhen." After Qiao Shu entered the door, he gave a salute.

"Get up and speak." Zhen Shiyuan nodded, pointed to the chair that Tang Zhongyuan had moved, and said, "Sit down and talk!" ”

Guozijian has been on vacation these days, and on this snowy day, if it weren't for the case, this kid wouldn't have had to make another trip.

Qiao Shu thanked him and sat down.

"Do you know Zhu Zhicheng?" After he sat down, Zhen Shiyuan took the lead in speaking.

Qiao Shu nodded and said, "He also studied in Guozijian, but he didn't talk to me." ”

He is just an ordinary commoner's child, and Yu Shihuan's group of people are either scholarly, family-educated, or powerful, so it is naturally impossible to talk to him.

"But Miss Qiao used to like to say that as long as there is anything suspicious about the case, I will remember one thing. One day in the middle of the night, the Gong room in our courtyard was occupied, so I went to the Gong room in the middle of the school building, and on the way back, I saw that Zhu Zhicheng holding a painting to the moon to admire himself. ”

Yu Shihuan's group of people are all people who chant the wind and play with the moon, and it is not surprising that they will hold up paintings to appreciate the moon. Zhen Shiyuan touched his chin, looked at Qiao Shu's solemn expression, and asked, "Is there something wrong with this painting?" ”

Qiao Shu glanced at him, didn't reply to him immediately, and only took out a book from his sleeve.

"Chang'an Geography".

Zhen Shiyuan watched Qiao Shu open the "Chronicles of Chang'an Objects", turned to one of the pages, and then pointed it out to Zhen Shiyuan: "What I see is this painting." ”

This is a picture of the snow scene of Lishan, the main body in the painting is not another, it is the Liuyuntai and the Que Tower on it, of course, in addition to the Liuyuntai and the Que Tower, but also vaguely painted a corner of the main body of Lishan.

"What's wrong with that?" Zhen Shi is far away.

The young man's black and white eyes became a little subtle and weird for some reason.

"There's one thing missing from the picture I'm seeing." Qiao Shu said, his finger pressed to the middle of Liuyuntai and Lishan, and said, "He didn't draw a bridge." ”

Didn't draw a bridge...... Zhen Shiyuan's breath staggered, and he instinctively blurted out: "Isn't this the situation where they are trapped in the tower right now?" ”

Qiao Shu nodded, paused, and said, "Also, the day I saw Zhu Zhicheng's painting was the day before Guozijian's holiday. ”

That is, the day before Yu Shihuan, Zhu Zhicheng and others organized everyone to go to Lishan to see the snow scene.
