Truth be told, you two are ......"

Shen Muzhi frowned, knowing that the Chang'an Prefect was about to say the three words of the Hellfire Hall next, Shen Muzhi said that the Chang'an Prefect was really breathless, and quickly stretched out his foot and kicked the Chang'an Prefect.

Shen Muzhi's kick was neither light nor heavy, but he kicked the Chang'an Prefect into a loud shout, and the Chang'an Prefect couldn't say the name of the Hellfire Palace.

"Ouch, who, who!"

The prefect of Chang'an raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the person who kicked him, and was about to make a move, only to realize that the person next to him was Shen Muzhi.

The prefect of Chang'an was shocked, could it be Shen Muzhi who kicked him? Why did Shen Muzhi kick himself? He was about to ask if those two little guys were from the Hellfire Temple!

Shen Muzhi saw that the Chang'an prefect hadn't understood yet, so he coldly threw a warning look at the Chang'an prefect.

The prefect of Chang'an was frightened by Shen Muzhi's cold eyes, this was the first time he had seen such a sharp expression on the face of Shen Muzhi, who was as warm as jade, and he thought that Shen Muzhi would not lose his temper.

The prefect of Chang'an couldn't help but think about what he said wrong, could it be...... Can't mention the name of the Hellfire Temple?

After the prefect of Chang'an reacted, he had to laugh awkwardly, and said to the two little guys: "What are you talking about, whether it is reasonable or not, it is not the two of you who have the final say, Lord Shen has said it." ”

Shen Muzhi was helpless when he heard this, the words of the prefect of Chang'an really exposed himself to being an incompetent official who was beaten into a trick.

Shen Muzhi opened his mouth and said: "Don't be in a hurry to defend the two of you, now among the four of you, the two of you are holding each other together and can testify to each other, but no one knows if what the two of you say is the truth." ”

"Of the four people, it seems that you two are indeed suspicious at the moment, aren't you? I said you two have a problem, are you wrong? ”

The two little guys kneeling on the ground looked at each other when they heard this, and couldn't explain anything, indeed, although the two of them were suspicious of testifying to each other, but except for verbal talk, the two of them really couldn't come up with any evidence.

The two little guys had no choice but to hang their heads, lost their breath, and said to Shen Muzhi: "What Lord Shen said is true. ”

Shen Muzhi continued: "Don't worry, you two, I only suspect the two of you at the moment, but I didn't immediately identify the two of you as guilty. ”

"I'll take you two to prison first, wait for me to collect evidence, and then interrogate you."

"If I find out that the two of you are really fine, I will naturally return your innocence and release you from prison."

When the two little guys heard Shen Muzhi's assurance, they really didn't have any hope of recovering their innocence, the two little guys hung their heads, the two of them were not so naïve, they knew that once they entered this prison, the two of them had no chance of coming out. Although Lord Shen from the capital said it well, the officials were all the same, and when they met these two unlucky scapegoats, they didn't hurry up to close the case.

When the two little guys returned to Lu Mansion at that time, they couldn't accept the fact that Lu Mansion was slaughtered in a short time when they went out. Although the two of them escaped by luck, they have not escaped this catastrophe now, which is really providential.

The prefect of Chang'an hurriedly opened his mouth and instructed a few officials: "You guys, don't hurry up and put these two little guys in prison for me!" ”

Several officials stepped forward, set up the two little guys who had no will to struggle anymore, and took the two little guys to the prison.

The prefect of Chang'an emphasized to the figures of several officials leaving: "This is an important criminal in this case, you have shown me these two people, if they are allowed to escape, this official will ask you!" ”

After the figure of the official disappeared from his sight, the prefect of Chang'an turned his head and changed to a flattering smile, and said to Shen Muzhi: "Lord Shen is really wise, he caught the murderer so quickly. ”

"Lord Shen, are you here today?"

Shen Muzhi nodded, looked at the remaining guards and maids among the four people, and said, "You two are no longer suspicious, you can go back." ”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately blessed their bodies, shouted a few words like Lord Xie Shen, and left.

At the moment when the two of them turned to leave, Shen Muzhi felt a contemptuous gaze looking at him briefly.

After the figures of the two people who left completely disappeared in front of his eyes, Shen Muzhi recalled the gaze just now, and the corners of his mouth curved mysteriously.

The prefect of Chang'an saw Shen Muzhi smiling, thinking that Shen Muzhi's smile was happy that the case was over.

The prefect of Chang'an complimented: "Lord Shen is really powerful, the case that has been pending for so long has been solved by Lord Shen in less than two days, and he also caught the people of the Hellfire Palace." ”

Shen Muzhi glanced at the prefect of Chang'an and said, "If I didn't come, did you plan to find two scapegoats to solve this case like this?" ”

When the prefect of Chang'an heard this, a flattering smile froze on his face.

Shen Muzhi continued: "Lord Prefect, you don't really think that just because these two little guys testify against each other is a little suspicious, they are the people of the Hellfire Palace. ”

When the prefect of Chang'an heard Shen Muzhi's words, his heart was really miserable. Naturally, he wouldn't be dizzy to this point, he didn't think that Shen Muzhi didn't see anything either, so he wanted to arrest two people and close the case hastily.

The prefect of Chang'an thought about Shen Muzhi's words, and couldn't help but raise his eyes in surprise, looked at Shen Muzhi, and said, "Then what does Lord Shen mean by catching those two little guys?" ”

Shen Muzhi didn't answer the question, and said with a smile: "According to what the prefect has seen, is it possible that these two little guys are from the Hellfire Palace?" ”

The prefect of Chang'an was asked, and after a while, he muttered, "No...... It's not like ......."

Shen Muzhi said: "What if I tell you that among these four people today, there are indeed people from the Hellfire Palace?" ”

The prefect of Chang'an was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes widened in horror, and he said, "Could it be the guard who let go?" ”

Shen Muzhi smiled and said nothing.

The prefect of Chang'an didn't bother to ask why it was the guard at this time, and said anxiously: "Lord Shen, since you suspect that it is the guard, why do you want to let him go?" Instead, he arrested the two little guys. ”

The prefect of Chang'an was so anxious that he turned around a few times and said, "No, he shouldn't have gone far now, I have to send someone to arrest the guard back immediately." ”

After that, the prefect of Chang'an made a gesture to find someone.

Shen Muzhi stopped the anxious Chang'an prefect and said, "Lord Prefect, let him go, you don't have to chase him." ”

The prefect of Chang'an looked at Shen Muzhi anxiously: "Lord Shen, but ......"

Shen Muzhi said: "Don't worry, Lord Prefect, if I let go of the person from the Hellfire Palace, I naturally have my plan, and he will come back, and he will come back on his own initiative." ”

The prefect of Chang'an was confused, this real murderer finally cleared the suspicion, how could he take the initiative to come back.

Shen Muzhi reminded the prefect of Chang'an with a smile and said, "Did the prefect almost say the name of the Hellfire Palace?" ”

The prefect of Chang'an remembered Shen Muzhi's kick against him, and was a little ashamed, and said, "Yes...... Why did Lord Shen organize me to say the name of the Hellfire Temple at that time? ”

Shen Muzhi said: "Do you think that just now the two of us caught these two little guys, others can't see that it's far-fetched, and they can't see that these two little guys are innocent?" ”

The prefect of Chang'an thought about it, and it was indeed the case, and the prefect of Chang'an asked puzzledly: "Why did Lord Shen arrest those two little guys." ”

Shen Muzhi said lightly: "In order to let others think that we want to catch someone casually, we closed the case in a perfunctory manner." ”

The prefect of Chang'an didn't expect Shen Muzhi to answer like this, he wanted to speak but didn't know where to start.

Shen Muzhi continued: "Especially to make the people of the Hellfire Hall think that we want to settle the case hastily. ”

The prefect of Chang'an was even more puzzled now.

Shen Muzhi said: "If you just say the name of the Hellfire Palace, and ask if those two little guys are from the Hellfire Palace, then the real culprit in this case must be determined to be the Hellfire Palace." Since it is the Hellfire Palace, how can it be possible to hastily close the case with only two small guys. ”

"Without saying the name of the Hellfire Temple, you can just identify the real culprits in this case as two small people, and just make up some reasons to fool around and close the case."

The prefect of Chang'an suddenly realized: "So Lord Shen is afraid of trouble so he chooses to let the little guy take the blame?" After all, the Hellfire Temple is not easy to grasp. ”

Shen Muzhi was amused by the words of the prefect of Chang'an, and said, "The prefect is really funny. ”

The prefect of Chang'an is a little embarrassed, did he guess wrong?
