Chapter 16: The Lying Witness

"Is it cold?"

"Still a little angry......"

"That's good, it's easy not to kill people."

"Master......"

"Huh?"

"What are we going to do now?"

A man and a cat gathered around an unconscious man to discuss countermeasures.

Si Yubai touched his chin and pondered for a long time: "For today's plan, I can only use this method......"

"Meow?"

……

A gloomy dungeon.

There was a musty smell everywhere, a smell of blood, and some unknown stench.

"Bells ......" the sound of chains rubbing against metal.

"Huh?"

The man who was originally unconscious woke up slowly: "Where is this?" Ahem......"

After a while, he finally woke up, and after discovering the iron chain that locked his body, he immediately became excited: "Ge Laozi! Who dares to lock me up?! ”

"Keep your eyes open, who dares to lock you?"

A lazy voice sounded, and the villager squinted his eyes to look at the other side.

Behind the brazier stood a man dressed in black with a black cat on his shoulder.

"You...... Who are you? He couldn't see his face clearly.

The man in black chuckled: "I don't even know this official anymore?" Don't you remember whose bounty you just cheated? ”

The villager's pupils constricted, and he trembled: "You...... Be...... You're the Grand Detective?! ”

"Uh-huh~" The iron tongs in the hands of the man in black rolled in the furnace, and the sparks splashed spread around, and then extinguished.

"What do you want to do?" He swallowed, fear standing on all the hairs on his body.

"What for?" The man picked up the red-hot coals, "Of course, torture was used to extract a confession." ”

"No, no, no......" The man on the gallows was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Miao Miaomiao reminded in a low voice: "Master...... Shall we do this openly and openly and speak up? ”

"What's wrong? I am now Si Detective Xing, and it is Si Detective Xing who is extorting confessions by torture, what does it have to do with your master? The man helped her up, "Sit down, it'll be a little bloody later, don't pass out." ”

The black cat licked its paws, and its eyes showed excitement: "I have seen the world no matter how I say it, how can I faint in this little scene...... Well? Master, do you smell a commotion? ”

"This is a dungeon, so naturally everything tastes." The man was unimpressed.

The black cat wrinkled its nose and sniffed again: "No...... Not yet...... It smells like urine......"

"Hmm......" Si Yubai also sniffed hard, "It seems to be really pee...... Not yet......"

"Woooooooooo......oo The Detective ...... I...... I'll say everything...... Can you not ...... Don't use torture...... Woowoo woo ......"

A large puddle of yellow liquid was already flowing from the feet of the man on the torture rack.

If he hadn't been tied, he probably wouldn't have been able to straighten his legs by now.

"The official hasn't been tortured yet!" Si Yubai knocked on the brazier with tongs a little unpleasantly, and suddenly several balls of sparks popped out.

"Don't ...... Other...... My lord...... My lord...... I say...... Don't torture ......"

……

It turned out that ten days ago, the villager surnamed Cai saw a purse of gold, and instantly became ill-intentioned.

pretended to say goodbye and went down the mountain, but in fact, he waited for the opportunity in the forest halfway up the mountain.

About half an hour later, Lai Yifa and his party walked down the mountain.

The villager planned to use the night to commit another theft, so he kept squatting in the forest and waiting for the opportunity.

It's night.

He took advantage of the moonlight to go up the mountain and climbed over the wall into the courtyard.

After entering Ye Fan's house, he began to rummage through the bag of gold.

As a result, when I entered the study, I saw Ye Fan sitting there!

"I was so scared that I sat on the ground, thinking he hadn't slept yet!" The villager said, "But I didn't see him move for a long time, and I found out that he was dead." ”

"What about the bag of gold? Did you get it? Si Yubai was already sitting on a Taishi chair, drinking tea and petting the cat.

He looked annoyed: "Where is there any gold?" I can't even see a copper plate...... Didn't this old man raise flowers for the palace? Why are you so poor? ”

"Then when you were squatting halfway up the mountain, apart from Lai Yifa and his party, who else had you seen going up and down the mountain?"

"Your Excellency...... Honestly, I ...... I fell asleep after the guy left, and I didn't see anyone else going up and down the mountain......"

"In Ye Fan's family, except for Ye Fan himself and Lai Yifa and his party, there is no one else, right?"

The villager was stunned.

Si Yubai immediately grabbed his subtle expression and poured the tea on the blazing brazier.

The tea turned into water vapor in an instant.

"You still have something to hide! It seems that this official has to be executed! ”

The villager was so frightened that he immediately shouted for mercy: "My lord! My lord! The grass people don't dare to hide it anymore! The grass people did see the others that day! ”

"Who?"

"One...... A woman. It's just that she found me later and gave me money to put all the blame on the person surnamed Lai, otherwise...... Otherwise, report my theft to the ......."

"Haven't you stolen anything yet?" Si Yubai frowned.

"Stealing before...... This house in Chang'an City was bought with the money I stole ......"

……

The villager surnamed Cai was imprisoned in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion and confessed everything he knew.

Si Yubai took Miao Miaomiao back to the palace.

As soon as he returned, he saw a group of eunuchs gathered in front of an old uninhabited palace.

"Let's go see what's going on?" Miao Miaomiao urged the man to pass.

Si Yubai was a little unhappy: "You have been drenched in the rain all night, hurry up and go back to wash with your teacher." ”

After that, follow another road, ready to take her to Huaqing Pool.

"You can take a bath at any time, but if you miss the excitement, it will be gone!" The black cat struggled out of his arms and jumped all the way into the crowd.

This old palace was her first residence after she came here.

In general, there is still a bit of emotion.

"Last night's rain was either waterlogged or leaked...... It's good here, it's collapsed. The eunuch who looked to be in charge complained.

The other little eunuchs also chimed in: "Let's ...... Some of them are busy......"

"Hey...... Don't say more, Manager Liu wants us to repair it quickly, don't delay this year's show girl entering the palace. ”

A group of eunuchs took tools into the palace courtyard, and Miao Miaomiao also followed.

"Tsk, look at the weeds that grow, they are all taller than me."

Before the male voice fell, Miao Miaomiao rose into the air and was held in her arms.

"You're so small, don't be trampled to death in the grass."

Miao Miaomiao glanced at him kindly: "Can you say something good?" ”

"I've always told the truth for the teacher......"

"Da Siyu?" When the eunuch in charge saw Si Yubai, he immediately came over to salute, "I don't know what advice Da Si Yu has here?" ”

The man and the cat glanced at each other and cleared their throats: "That...... This official is just here to see a feng shui, and he doesn't dare to be a ...... if he has any advice."

"Da Siyu?!"

"It's Da Siyu?!"

When a group of eunuchs saw the man, they immediately swarmed up.

"Da Siyu~" One of the delicate-looking young eunuchs took the lead in rubbing over, "The talisman you gave to the slave family last time really worked, and the slave family's water rebellion was scattered all of a sudden~"

"It just works." Si Yubai glanced at Miao Miaomiao proudly.

The black cat in his arms rolled his eyes.

"This time...... The slave family wants to ask Da Siyu to help the slave family turn around again...... "The little eunuch bit his lower lip and raised his eyes to look at the man pitifully.

"Huh?" Miao Miaomiao frowned, knowing that this matter was not simple.

"What else does my father-in-law want to transfer?" Si Yubai was proud, where could he think about so many things?

"The slave family wants to ......" The little eunuch looked at the others and smiled shyly, "I want to turn a peach blossom luck ......"

After that, the pink handkerchief covered his face and stomped his foot shyly: "Oh, I hate it~ Don't look at the slave family like this~"
