"Is there any evidence?" Zhen Shiyuan's tone was still angry.

Qiao Ran glanced at Bai Zhijun and said, "General Bai just asked her, and she bumped into her and begged for death, which shows that her emotions are very unstable, and ordinary people can't do such a thing." ”

Bai Zhijun also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment: "She would do such a thing, after all, it was not out of her intention, it was because she was sick and lost her mind." ”

This sentence can be regarded as confirming all the speculations ahead.

Zhen Shiyuan was silent, and after a while, he said to Qiao Ran: "You come with me." ”

Qiao Ran nodded and followed Zhen Shiyuan out.

When he walked outside the prison door and saw that there was no one around, Zhen Shiyuan looked at her: "Are you sure Mrs. Cen is sick?" ”

Qiao Ran said: "It's very likely. ”

Possible? Zhen Shiyuan sneered: "You have also handled so many cases, you should know that the case cannot be finalized without evidence." ”

"Of course I do." Qiao Ran nodded, but her expression was a little hesitant, "It's just that we don't know what this matter is." ”

Because Mrs. Cen is dead, no matter how powerful the autopsy master is, no matter how powerful the autopsy is, he can't come to a conclusion.

"She killed someone!" Zhen Shiyuan said hatefully, "And killing her own flesh and blood, whether she gets sick or not, this is an intolerable thing." ”

No one can let go of this matter, Qiao Ran sighed and lowered her eyes: "If Mrs. Cen is alive, she may be a little embarrassed, but now Mrs. Cen is dead." ”

Zhen Shiyuan's face was slightly sluggish: the girl's expression under the moonlight seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to her previous calm.

"I also want to know the truth, but the truth of this matter has been taken away with Mrs. Cen's death." Qiao Ran said, "If Mrs. Cen is alive and she kills Chai Jun, it will be more difficult for you to decide whether she lives or dies." ”

Because Mrs. Cen's illness looks like a normal person on the surface, but if she is completely normal, but not really, then whether she was normal or abnormal when she killed Chai Jun, and how serious her illness was, even Qiao Ran, who raised this possibility, could not give a judgment.

In the end, Mrs. Cen's life and death will be handed over to Zhen Shiyuan, and he will decide, but the life and death of others are in his thoughts, and then it will be the real trouble.

But now such trouble does not exist, because Madame Cen is dead.

"Although there is no definite evidence that Madame Cen is sick," Qiao Ran lowered her eyes and said, "but...... It is better for Mrs. Shum to be sick. ”

Zhen Shiyuan also understands this, otherwise he wouldn't have called her out to talk about these things.

"If you didn't say that Mrs. Cen was sick, Bai Zhijun never admitted Mrs. Cen's actions from beginning to end." Zhen Shi is far away.

The so-called "acquiescence" is just what he and Qiao Ran thought, and it would be easy for Bai Zhijun to change his mind at that time, if he had just handled the case, he might have made such a mistake, but he Zhen Shiyuan has also been an official for half his life, so naturally he will not make such a mistake again, as for the girl in front of him, probably the longer he has been in contact, the more he finds that this child cannot be underestimated.

Some people are like an open book, and they can see the bottom at a glance, while others are like treasures, and the more they dig, the more they find the unfathomable. He didn't know when she noticed Bai Zhijun's abnormality, only that he was going to persuade Bai Zhijun with reason, but Bai Zhijun was not moved at all, if it weren't for her sentence that Mrs. Cen might be sick, Bai Zhijun would not have let go so easily.

"The reason why General Bai came forward to apologize is because of guilt, Mrs. Cen is dead, and what he is guilty about is that Mrs. Cen killed Chai Jun itself, and he doesn't want to take such a 'vicious' name on Mrs. Cen for his guilt." Qiao Ran said, "In essence, he doesn't want Mrs. Cen to kill people, but even if he kills someone, he must have a reason." ”

And she gave him this reason, so Bai Zhijun naturally wouldn't apologize for Mrs. Cen anymore. For Bai Zhijun, this is a relief: Mrs. Cen would do such a thing because she was sick, and she is not such a vicious person.

"Even if Mrs. Cen really got sick, she really killed someone." Zhen Shiyuan was silent for a moment and said, "Chai Jun is innocent. ”

Yes, Chai Jun is the most innocent in the whole thing, this kid has never done anything wrong.

After being silent for a long time, Qiao Ran sighed and said, "Lord Zhen, it is not up to us to decide how this matter is finally decided. ”

It's Your Majesty. Because it is about Bai Zhijun, when His Majesty is about to employ people, he will definitely not let him have an accident. So the murderer must be Mrs. Cen, and Bai Zhijun must change his words.

Therefore, after realizing that Bai Zhijun was not the murderer, he and the girl would do everything possible to hope that he would not be guilty.

"I know." Zhen Shiyuan sighed lightly, "It's just weird." ”

is also a parent, how can it be comfortable to think that Chai Jun died at the hands of his mother?

Qiao Ran shook her head, she couldn't comment on Mrs. Cen, "But I think for Chai Jun, if he knows about it, he probably hopes that Mrs. Cen will do such a thing because she is sick!" ”

They have always been bystanders, and Chai Jun is the one involved, but now neither he nor Mrs. Cen can speak.

She can speculate a lot of things, from bits and pieces to almost 10% of the truth, but there is always a lack of their personal certification, and this case is boring.

The rest of the matter was handed over to Zhen Shiyuan, Qiao Ran silently walked out of the yamen of Dali Temple, and Zhang Jie, who was already waiting outside the door, came over.

"How?" He asked.

The girl nodded at first, then shook her head and asked him, "Where is Mama Chai?" ”

Zhang explained: "I found a doctor to take care of her, and there are some things that she has to ask when she wakes up, so she has to stay in Dali Temple." ”

Qiao Ran nodded, her willow eyebrows condensed slightly, obviously not in a good mood.

"Because of Mrs. Cen killing Chai Jun?" Zhang Xie looked at her slightly frowning eyebrows and asked.

Because of Mama Chai's relationship, he only heard half of what happened and left.

Qiao Ran nodded and said, "Some things are just my speculation, there is no evidence, but Mrs. Cen may be suffering from madness." ”

"At least everyone will feel better." Zhang Xie sighed, "If you are sober and kill people, I am afraid it is even more unacceptable." ”

Qiao Ran lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked up at him: "I heard that Mrs. Cen organized women and children to defend against the enemy at the border back then, and she was a real heroine, why did you say she became like this?" ”

In front of Zhen Shiyuan, she can be calm, but after leaving Dali Temple, she is more stubborn than Zhen Shiyuan.

Although Mrs. Cen may be sick, Chai Jun's life is really gone.

"Because people change." Zhang Xie lightly touched her forehead, and the slightly condensed eyebrows suddenly loosened due to this touch, and the girl looked at him in surprise with wide eyes, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhang Xie withdrew his hand, smiled, and did not explain. He just thought she was frowning a little more.

seems to be happy and comfortable, but this happiness is the result of her prudence and step by step. She's smart, and he likes her smart, but he doesn't want her to keep frowning like that. Even if he can't make her live as happy and comfortable as Pei Qingqing now, at least, he wants to stay by her side, when she doesn't need it, he can stand behind her, and when she needs it, he can also take action to hold her in time. So on this trip to Shanxi Road, he said that he would go with her.

"People change, but things in nature are not so easy to change. Just like Mrs. Cen's change may be due to illness, but the essence is because she is a fragile person. Zhang Xie looked at her with a soft gaze, "In most cases, no matter how people change, they are still inseparable from their essence." ”

Just like she is smart and tenacious, no matter how much she changes, she can't do without such an essence.

I don't know if it's an illusion, the girl's white face was dyed with a few shades of light, Zhang Xie was stunned, and for a while he stared at her and forgot to move away.

He is not a person who covets beauty, but at this moment, it suddenly made his heart throb, and at that moment he suddenly wanted to reach out and hold her and hug her into his arms.

It stands to reason that he and she are both calm and self-contained people, and he thought that even if he could treat his feelings, he could do the same, but the throbbing at that moment suddenly made him understand: love is uncontrollable, and the ancients did not deceive me.

The hand raised in mid-air finally fell on the broken hair on the girl's forehead, and pulled the broken hair behind her ear for her, and the girl's voice suddenly sounded: "Do you know why I can clearly guess the whereabouts of Mrs. Cen and General Bai?" ”

When the story of the case is naturally heard, it is not easy for the people in it to figure out the clues. In particular, it is good to tell the whereabouts, there are many reasons why Bai Zhijun can relax, and she said it in such detail is also one of the important reasons.

"Why?" Zhang Xie asked.

"Because of that tree," said Qiao Ran, "it is an acacia tree, and I have heard that there is an acacia tree on the mountain road on the outskirts of the city, probably because of the two reasons for the birth of the acacia and the juxtaposition, so that many lovers who are happy with each other will date under the acacia tree." ”

Although it is not the season for the acacia tree to bloom, this point is also one of the arguments that confirms her suspicion, which shows that the person Mrs. Shum asked was emotionally entangled with her.

O acacia tree! Zhang Xie lowered his eyes, and for the first time in his life, he was distracted by what the girl said. He and she met in the spring of March in Jinling, and he didn't have the opportunity to see the last time the acacia bloomed, but he should be able to see it in the spring of the next year!

……

……

What happened that night was enough to shake the entire court.

It was really hard work to close his eyes and open them, and Bai Zhijun, who was scheduled to leave for Shanxi Road, became a prisoner, and this news suddenly blew up the entire court.

The officials waiting outside the hall to enter the court gathered in twos and threes and chatted.

"What's going on? How did the good General Bai become a suspect? ”

"Who knows? Which yamen is it? The Ministry of Officials is still Dali Temple...... Whoa, Lord Ran is here. Several officials who were bowing their heads and whispering looked at Ran Wen and his party who came over, and immediately stopped their voices and looked at him.

And Ran Wen did not disappoint everyone, and said: "It's the person from Dali Temple, and the news is not very clear." ”

Dali Temple, everyone was a little disappointed, and some people even looked around: "What about Zhen Shiyuan?" Where did Zhen Shiyuan go? ”

"At Your Majesty's!" Ran Wen said lightly, "The matter of Bai Zhijun has not been spread yet, so don't discuss it." ”

As soon as these words came out, some people couldn't help it, and immediately said: "Lord Ran, I heard that Bai Zhijun committed a felony of murder and killed General Chai's orphan and widow, is it true?" ”

I don't know where this news came from, Ran Wen frowned when he heard it, and was about to open his mouth to scold a few words, but the person who spoke out just now said it again with a nose and eyes.

"And it was Bai Zhijun who turned himself in when he was cornered." The official said.

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Although I received the news that Bai Zhijun was imprisoned, what is the specific situation, the Yamen of Dali Temple is closed tightly, and it is really impossible for even a fly to fly out, which shows that Zhen Shiyuan attaches great importance to it.

Such a response to the enemy has aroused the curiosity of many officials, of course, this curiosity is also for themselves, after all, in Chang'an City, if you don't receive the news in time, and stand on the wrong team, it will be a terrible thing.

"I heard that it was because Zhen Shiyuan won by surprise and found Mrs. Cen not long after the incident, and Bai Zhijun had no choice but to turn himself in."

Ran Wen looked at the talkative official and frowned slightly: The official in front of him is a neutral faction who does not rely on each other on the surface, but in fact, he knows very well who it is.

When did the people of Fang Xiangye's faction start to applaud Zhen Shiyuan's political achievements? I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink!

Is there a problem with Zhen Shiyuan's quick handling of the case? Of course, there is no problem, and even if it is done well, His Majesty should praise it. But this case is different, Bai Zhijun, who was involved in the case, originally set to set off for Shanxi Road in the next two days, and in the blink of an eye, the general who assisted Shanxi Road became a heinous murderer, how good is this matter?

Especially the more this person shouted that Zhen Shiyuan won by surprise, forcing Bai Zhijun to turn himself in, and when His Majesty settled the accounts in the autumn of the coming day, the more trouble Zhen Shiyuan would be.

This method is really weird and disgusting, Ran Wen said in his heart, but disgusting people are also useful.

For example, a few generals over there can't sit still, the generals are different from Wenchen, when you don't see the chaos in the world, how many generals abandon their families and children and have to rebel with the main generals, Chen Shan rebelled back then, how many generals were willing to give up all their wealth to join him?

Ran Wen thought to himself that a civil servant like him might be accustomed to being calm and self-controlled, and he might not understand such enthusiasm, but he had seen a lot, and he had already faintly felt what could arouse the anger of the generals.

The accident of General Chai's orphan and widow will definitely make some of the veteran generals who had a relationship with General Chai back then furious and ask for punishment of the murderer, but there will also be some young generals who admire Bai Zhijun's methods to intercede for Bai Zhijun.

This seems to be a trivial matter, but in fact, it is very easy to provoke infighting among the military generals of the DPRK and China.

The veteran is experienced, and the young is young and vigorous, and these two factions compete with each other, so it's no wonder if something happens.

Ran Wen tilted his head and said to his colleagues around him: "Fang Xiang's trick is really high!" ”

is aimed at Zhen Shiyuan, well, after all, Zhen Shiyuan's suspicion with him is known all over the court, and he gave him a big gift not long after returning to Beijing, how could he easily let him go by means of a room? However, this is only one side, this matter can also provoke the infighting of the generals, and take the opportunity to suppress the forces of the generals, if the generals are weak, the power of the Wenchen will grow, and even Pei Xiangye will not intervene much, after all, Pei Xiangye also belongs to the Wenchen lineage.

What a cleverness! planned his own interests, but he didn't think about the consequences of a problem with a military general under such a situation.
