"You're a smart guy."

Xu Tian didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "I want you to confess!" ”

Xia Xue shook her head, her eyes firm: "Do you want me to recruit my life-saving benefactor, it's impossible." I'd rather die. ”

"You don't need to summon a life-saving benefactor, you just need to insist that it was the prefect of Hangchuan, Cong Zhongzhi and others who instructed you to do this."

Xu Tian said, "The mastermind behind the scenes is gracious to you, but Cong Zhongzhi may not be, right?" ”

"Master Cong......"

Xia Xue was silent.

……

Two days later.

Inside the residence of the prefect Cong Zhongzhi.

"Sir! Oh no! ”

Frowning and looking at the servant who ran in in a panic, Cong Zhongzhi, who was looking at the painting, frowned, turned around and scolded: "Why are you so surprised, don't you see that I'm annoyed?" ”

was already worried because of Xu Tian's previous visit, but this time he just found an outlet to vent his anger, and said coldly: "If it's not a big deal, go to Shen Tuchu to get a hundred whips yourself!" ”

"Master, that prisoner Xia Xue shouted injustice in prison, claiming that it was your lord who instructed her to falsely accuse the prince of Yulan......"

The servant said.

"What?" Cong Zhongzhi's eyes widened, "That's what she really said?" ”

"It's true, sir!"

"Good! What a prisoner Xia Xue, is it not pleasant that even she came to find this mansion? She's looking for death, she! How dare she bite this house, how did this house ever instruct her, when did this house have dealings with such a lowly person as her? ”

Cong Zhongzhi was so angry that his beard blew up, and he slapped the desk hard, and his hands were numb.

"What should I do now, sir?"

Cong Zhongzhi waved his sleeves and said irritably: "Let's go, go to prison, I want to see what kind of medicine this prisoner has taken wrong, and she dares to plant pots on the head of this mansion?" ”

Unexpectedly, the prefect just walked out of the mansion and got into the carriage, and the next moment he was stopped by a team of well-dressed men and horses, and the leader showed his token, and said: "My lord, we are the people of the upper division, someone anonymously reported a few days ago, you instructed the criminal woman Xia to falsely accuse the court official, and I came to interrogate the criminal woman Xia, and handed it over to the upper division, by the way, please also ask the adult to come with us!" ”

"What?"

Cong Zhongzhi lifted the curtain and poked out a pig's head full of anger.

The boss received an anonymous report yesterday!?

Didn't the prisoner retract her confession today, and how did the capital know the news in advance?

In this way, there is not even time to suppress the news.

Conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy!

Somehow, what involuntarily came to mind was a young and handsome face.

There was a shudder.

Three days later.

Upper Division.

Jiang Qinghua, the new boss of the upper hall, patted the startling wood of the opening hall: "Ascend to the hall!" ”

Today's ascension to the court, whether it is someone else is judged, it is actually the prefect of Hangchuan, Cong Zhongzhi.

"Defendant Cong Zhongzhi, are you guilty!?"

Jiang Qinghua's eyebrows were raised, his tiger eyes were blazing, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

However, Cong Zhongzhi is also a high-ranking person who has been an official for a long time, and he is also good at this kind of judge deterrence, and he was not frightened into a gaffe, but said very calmly: "My lord, what is the crime of the lower official? ”

"Xia Xue, the prisoner who falsely accused the prince of Yulan, retracted her confession in prison three days ago, saying that you instructed her to falsely accuse the prince, but is there such a thing?" Jiang Qinghua asked.

"My lord, the lower officials have never done this."

Cong Zhongzhi tried his best to argue, "Xia Guan has no grievances or enmity with the prince, and he has never met this Xia family, so how can he instruct her to frame a false accusation?" ”

Jiang Qinghua
