Chapter 395: Instead
"My lord, who gave you this note? Did you see Qiu Mo sign and draw with your own eyes? Zhang Xiaohua held up the note in her hand and asked.
Li Zheng saw that Zhang Xiaohua's reaction didn't seem like lying, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"How do you know this is not Qiu Mo's handwriting?" Rizheng asked.
"Qiu Mo is my father-in-law, can I not recognize his handwriting? My lord, have you been deceived? Zhang Xiaohua can be very sure that the handwriting on the note is definitely not Qiu Mo's handwriting. But looking at Lizheng's appearance, he doesn't seem to know, so there must be something hidden in it.
Seeing that Li Zheng was frowning, he looked pensive. Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought of that master. She remembered that Qiu Mo had said that it was the master who tortured him, so could it be a fake crime forged by the master? But why did he do it?
Li Zheng looked at Zhang Xiaohua and was speechless for a while. He always felt that there was something else hidden about Qiu Mo's case, but the situation forced him to investigate. When the master gave him the charge signed by Qiu Mo, he thought that the master really forced him to confess, but he didn't expect that even the charge was fake?
Li Zheng didn't doubt Zhang Xiaohua's words, because she didn't need to tell this lie. Is this Qiu Mo's handwriting known as soon as he checks it, if there is no problem with the handwriting, Zhang Xiaohua will not be stupid enough to try to grasp this problem to rescue Qiu Mo.
But the master is not stupid, how could he think of forging Qiu Mo's handwriting signature? Furthermore, why did he do this?
Watching Ri was caught up in his own thoughts, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Zhang Xiaohua knew that in fact, he knew in his heart that this case was not simple, and the reason why he didn't dare to investigate it clearly should be because he had some concerns!
It is undeniable that Li is a good official, but people are selfish. If it involves their own interests, most people will give priority to their own considerations.
The Li family's influence in the town is not small, and there is Li Guangxin, a relative of Shangshu. If the Li family wants to trouble the Bai family, Li Zheng is only afraid of taking care of himself.
Li is a parent official, and he should protect the people and benefit the people. But he must first take care of his home and family, so that he can better benefit everyone.
Therefore, now when faced with a choice, he should have chosen to sacrifice Qiu Mo to ensure that the Yamen, the Bai family, and himself are safe.
Originally, he got the note signed by Qiu Mo, and he could dispose of Qiu Mo with peace of mind. Who would have thought that the note would be fake.
"My lord, I have always felt that you are a rare good officer. There must be a last resort reason for such a hasty handling of Qiu Mo's case. But you should know by now that Qiu Mo is really innocent. Zhang Xiaohua paused for a moment before continuing: "My lord, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to conduct an autopsy, Li Yong was strangled by someone and suffocated to death." ”
Hearing this, Li Zheng suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaohua, with shock and suspicion in his eyes. "Is that true?"
Zhang Xiaohua met Qiu Mo's gaze and nodded solemnly, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Bai Gongzi, he sent Qingfeng to investigate this matter." ”
Hearing this, Li Zheng frowned slightly. He didn't want Bai Yuxuan to get involved in this matter, but he was still involved after all.
"My lord, let Qiu Mo go! May I? Zhang Xiaohua said suddenly, with a hint of pleading in her tone.
Ri was looking at her, his eyes flickering.
If Qiu Mo is really innocent, then he should be acquitted of Qiu Mo. But......
"My lord, I know your concerns, and I understand your difficulties. I have a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to keep Qiu Mo, but also to give the Li family an explanation. My lord, you must leave Qiu Mo behind, otherwise if he is really the person the queen is looking for, what will you do to pay for it. ”
Li Zheng looked at Zhang Xiaohua, was silent for a moment, and asked, "What can you do?" ”
"Let me replace Qiu Mo's crime! I was also present on the night Qiu Mo and Li Yong did it, and it is still reasonable to say that Li Yong, who was injured by mistake, was injured. ”
"Ridiculous, you didn't kill people, how can you make you guilty."
"But the person was not killed by Qiu Mo!" Zhang Xiaohua roared.
She really didn't know what to do. If Li Zheng insisted on saying that Qiu Mo was guilty, no matter how favorable the evidence she found, it would be useless. Qiu Mo's guilt or innocence is all based on his words.
He could see that he didn't want to cure Qiu Mo's crimes, not only because Qiu Mo was innocent, but also because Qiu Mo was probably the person the queen was looking for. But there is the Li family, so he has some concerns.
If Li Zheng executed Qiu Mo just to give the Li family an explanation, then let her replace Qiu Mo. Anyway, what the Li family wants is just a result, isn't it different who is the murderer?
"Miss Zhang, please go back! It's none of your business, I can't do that. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua getting more and more excited, Li Zheng said calmly.
"My lord, you have to do this, only this is good for everyone." Saying that, Zhang Xiaohua paused, bit her lip, and said, "If you don't do this, I will let Bai Gongzi rescue Qiu Mo for me." Even if it's a prison robbery. ”
"You...!"
Li Zheng squinted his eyes and glared at Zhang Xiaohua. He didn't expect her to dare to threaten him.
But thinking that Zhang Xiaohua was not even afraid of death for Qiu Mo, it was hard to imagine that Bai Yuxuan would do anything for her.
In the final analysis, it's all a 'love' word that is doing tricks!
"Aren't you afraid of death? You should know that I was planning to execute Qiu Mo. Li Zheng asked indifferently.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I'm afraid of death!" But I'm even more afraid that Qiu Mo will die in front of me. My lord, don't worry about it anymore. Although I don't have evidence yet, I think the Li family should be killed by Li Yong and not by Qiu Mo. But they insisted on blaming Qiu Mo, isn't this obvious? They just want the result of disposal, not whether it is the real murderer or not. So you said that you found out that the person who killed Li Yong was actually me, presumably the Li family would not have any suspicions. And I concluded that the Li family didn't care who the murderer was. ”
Hearing this, he fell into a burst of thought.
"Do you really want to do this?" Rimasa confirmed it again and again.
He always thought it was a bit ridiculous. And Zhang Xiaohua doesn't look so reckless either. With her person, she should find a way to rescue Qiu Mo, how could she directly propose to be punished instead of Qiu Mo?
"My lord, if you agree, I will be grateful to you. But I hope you can give me a day, I want to take Qiu Mo back to settle him. I'll be back in the prison tomorrow before dark. ”
Li Zheng looked at Zhang Xiaohua's extremely resolute appearance, and inexplicably admired it in his heart. No matter what, for Bai Yuxuan's sake, he could only agree to her. Otherwise, I was afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would really take Bai Yuxuan to rob the prison, and he didn't want such a thing to happen.
"The Li family wants me to find out the murderer and deal with the murderer within three days. I'm already planning to carry out the execution the day after tomorrow, so ......! In the end, Li Zheng still agreed to Zhang Xiaohua, but the crime he should bear has not changed because of this.
"It's okay, the day after tomorrow, it's time. Will you believe me, my lord? I want to take Qiu Mo back tonight. ”
Li Zheng looked at Zhang Xiaohua, and his face showed embarrassment. He didn't want to do it, but it seemed like a better way.
"Go ahead! I'll arrange everything. ”
