Chapter 459: Lynching
The door was suddenly pushed open, Bai Qianyi was still holding a collar in his hand, and his face was very serious, "The news has leaked, this person sneaked in, he should have wanted to steal something." ”
Lin Huiru frowned, looking at the unconscious person in Bai Qianyi's hand, "How could the news leak so quickly?" You didn't kill people, did you? ”
"No, you can keep it for interrogation, but it depends on whether you try it yourself or hand it over to the Criminal Department." Bai Qianyi shook his head.
"The people who know about this matter are the Criminal Department and the Military Department, and the news is so fast, I don't know what went wrong, if we hand it over rashly, I'm afraid it will give us a wrong guide." Xu Ziqiao frowned, he didn't expect that he had been in office for so long, and he hadn't stirred up the muddy waters in the court.
Bai Qianyi glanced at the unconscious man in his hand, and his tone was a little helpless, "Then I'll come, it's just that it will dirty a room, but it's better than the news leaking." If the problem really lies with the Criminal Department, I am afraid that the confessions that come out there will not be credible. ”
He was right, not only would he not be able to believe those confessions, but he would probably bring them back to square one.
Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru exchanged a look, "Then it's hard for you, find someone in the middle of nowhere, and you can't miss a little noise." ”
However, just after the interrogation that night, the news that the killer spit out made Xu Ziqiao very surprised. This person is not an agent of Anguo, but he is still a person sent by the Criminal Department, so it can be proved that there is indeed something wrong with the Criminal Department.
And the morning of the next day, it was almost defenseless, and Xu Ziqiao was included in the Criminal Department.
Shi Huan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, pointed at Xu Ziqiao and said sonorously, "Yesterday, we learned from the mouth of a secret agent that the news that Lord Xu was holding the list of secret agents had been known by Anguo's spies, so a person was sent out to steal the list late at night, and when my people arrived, there was indeed a figure who went there." But when I went to ask for someone, Lord Xu said that the person was dead, and according to the people around me, I also heard screams, so the minister suspected that Lord Xu abused lynching. ”
"You still suspect him of colluding with Anguo's secret agents, right?" Qianyuan squinted his eyes, there are not many people who know about such important things as secret agents, and he is all asking questions in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Xu Ziqiao couldn't laugh or cry, but at the same time, he began to doubt what the truth behind this matter was.
Was it that the Criminal Department and the secret agent colluded to pull him into the water, or was the Criminal Department also deceived by the secret agent and deceived the two of them together.
"Yes, this matter is very important, and the minister thinks that he can't bend the law for personal gain, let alone the evidence is conclusive......" Shi Huan said firmly.
Xu Ziqiao sneered, "The evidence is conclusive? What evidence is there for this, other than that someone saw an agent enter my mansion? I have already handed over the body of that man to you, there is no trace of lynching, and he was killed by one blow after being wounded in a fight, and you tell me how to do it? ”
"In this way, Lord Xu is even more suspicious, I'm afraid that it is not intentional homicide to annihilate the evidence, the interrogation power of this matter is in the Criminal Department, what is the matter with Lord Xu dealing with people privately?" Shi Huan still clenched Xu Ziqiao, although his reasoning was a little crooked, but there was also a trace of doubt.
"Thank you Lord Shi for reminding me, there have been a lot of people who want my life recently, it seems that everyone should be captured alive in the future, so as not to suspect that I had a secret meeting with suspicious people through assassination, this kind of thing is really ridiculous to use as evidence." Xu Ziqiao narrowed his eyes and spoke very sarcastically.
The two of you said one sentence to me, so noisy that Qianyuan couldn't decide anything, so he could only break a tea bowl, "Shut up!" Xu Ziqiao, you go out first, Shi Huan, you stay. ”
After a long period of time, Shi Huan sneered at Xu Ziqiao when he went out, as if Qianyuan had made some decision.
Xu Ziqiao entered the main hall, and there was a faint bad premonition in his heart, "Your Majesty, there is a reason for this matter." ”
"You say." Qianyuan returned to his previous calm.
"All the spies were captured by the criminal department or the patrol battalion, not mine, since someone found my door, it proves that there is something wrong with the military department or the criminal department and the patrol battalion. If it was somewhere else, it would be fine, but if it was the Criminal Department, it was very likely that those confessions would not be believed, so I asked my men to interrogate him, and learned that it was indeed the Criminal Department who assigned him to steal the list from me. And last night, it was interrogated with a gag and laughed, and there could be no screams, plus today Master Shi has been pressing aggressively step by step, which has to make people suspicious, and please ask Your Majesty to be clear. Xu Ziqiao's words were true, but Shi Huan couldn't see anything wrong, which made Qianyuan very embarrassed.
Xu Ziqiao was cultivated by him, he didn't want to question it easily, and the waiter of the Criminal Department was an old man with some qualifications, which made him even more embarrassed.
"Do you know what Shi Huan and I said?" Qianyuan's heart was a little complicated.
"Your Majesty, please speak." The bad premonition in Xu Ziqiao's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Shi Huan is exactly the opposite of what you said, the opposite of each place is just right, you two are people I don't want to suspect, but since there is a problem now, this matter cannot be delayed, I decided to change people to do this." Qianyuan also made this decision in desperation.
Xu Ziqiao was not very surprised, nor was he nervous, "I don't know which adult Your Majesty wants to hand it over?" ”
"I won't tell you and Shi Huan about this matter, you better concentrate on the affairs of the third prince, go back and pack up all the materials and hand them over to Zhou Youde." Qianyuan groaned and waved his hand, meaning that Xu Ziqiao could go back.
"I understand." Xu Ziqiao understood, although he was helpless in his heart, he still agreed.
Although he can't continue to investigate on the surface, he is very uneasy about many other officials, that is, he has to worry more about investigating secretly. After all, some things are too strange, just take the previous Lantern Festival and the next day, the appearance of that jade luan is too coincidental, so people have to pay more attention.
The entry point of this matter is that he is ready to change to Yuluan, and this matter must not leak the rumors, and now some people in the court cannot use it, Xu Ziqiao can only ask Lin Huiru for help.
"There's nothing wrong with checking her, I also think she's very strange, and that Chunfeng Building, in short, this matter is about a country. Although it can't be said that Your Majesty is wrong to do this, but apart from you, there are some people whose business ability is really worrying. I'll get a few friends to keep an eye on later. Lin Huiru agreed and was also happy.
