Chapter 22: Throwing Yourself into the Net
The sea began to surge again, and the huge waves invaded, and the girl protected the glass cup in her arms, but she couldn't beat it after all.
The heavenly fire is extinguished, then his heart .... It's gone, and I can't get it back.
After a long time, my face was still wet, cool, and salty.....
It was the water that was lapping at that time, and they always, all the time, refusing to dry up.......
———
"My lord! My lord! ”
In a daze, he heard someone calling the door outside, Qinghe sat up and wiped his wet face.
"What's the matter! Yelling! "I looked at the sky, about five watches, and I was not happy!
"Catch ...... Catch..... Suspected! Outside the house, Cai Zuodao was out of breath.
"What!" Cai He held his chin in surprise. "Got it! You go to the hall and wait, I'll be here soon!" With that, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed and put on his shoes.
Wait a minute! Didn't you fall asleep on the edge of the bed......
Forget it, don't worry about these details just yet! Let's hurry up and see if I have to be surnamed Cai!
Pushing open the door, I saw the wind bully leaning against the door, and the mask on his face reflected the moonlight, making his eyes buried deep in the darkness, unable to see the color clearly, just like the glass cup without the fire of the sky, and finally only the cold remained.
Walking through the corridor, the two people walking side by side were speechless all the way.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat!"
Cai Zuodao, who was sitting in the hall seriously, was dressed in a neat official uniform, with a mirror hanging above his head, and he was solemn.
Syllable! Shocking sounds
"Ascension!"
"Might~Martial~"
"Take someone to commit it!"
Ruhua and Ruyu threw a middle-aged man to the bottom of the hall on the left and right.
The middle-aged man kneeling under the hall was coarse and linen, with a dark face, a tall figure, rough hands and feet, but he was not like an ordinary farmer, he straightened his back, even if he knelt under the hall, he still had a bit of iron bones.
"Who is in the hall, report the name," Cai Zuodao asked in the hall.
"The grass people are from Guanbei Village, Yelang County, and their name is Zhang Ju."
"Zhang Ju! Are you guilty? ”
"The grass people are guilty! I killed all the pregnant women. ”
...... Confessed so quickly..... Cai Zuodao was not given a chance to perform at all.
Smack-
"Quickly explain the motive and process of the crime!"
"I ...... Grass people.... Because there is a son in the family, he is not filial! Place... Therefore, they hated the babies, and when they saw the pregnant women, they became murderous and killed them while there was no one in their house! To vent the anger in my heart! ”
"Now that you have pleaded guilty, draw quickly! Parade through the street for three days and ask for beheading! "After saying that, he will throw a signature to convict.
"Wait!" Qinghe spoke to stop it.
"Lord Cai was convicted like this?"
"This.... The prisoners have confessed, is there any reason not to convict? The hand holding the pick froze in mid-air, looking embarrassed.
"Don't you feel suspicious? Don't talk about the side, just talk about the motives, don't adults think it's too far-fetched? Hatred of babies? Why don't you kill a baby in your infancy, but a pregnant woman? ”
"Huh? Right! Zhang Ju! Why don't you kill babies! Want to kill pregnant women? ”
"This ......" the suspect Zhang Ju looked at a loss and couldn't answer.
In the hall, Cai Zuodao pinched his sweat, hoping that Zhang Ju would be able to justify himself.
"Anyway, it's still early, why don't you collect evidence first and wait until tomorrow afternoon for another trial?"
found Cai Zuodao under the steps, and said again and again, "Adult Mingjian!" ”
"Someone! The prisoner Zhang Ju will be put in prison first, and the trial will be held again tomorrow afternoon! ”
Zhang Ju was shackled by the sunken fish and geese, and followed him to the dungeon. He staggered as he went.

It wasn't sunrise yet, and it was just getting dark. The back garden of the county government is shrouded in light, and it is a little mysterious. In the octagonal pavilion in the garden, a handsome young man was chatting with the masked boy sitting opposite him with his head on one hand.
"Actually, it's a lame, I thought it was blind or stupid!" Qing He, who was holding his head, said.
After such a fuss, I had long lost my sleepiness, so I simply sat in the backyard and discussed the case with Feng Buqi.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"You have also seen that the four beauties, like flowers and jade, sink fish and geese, only blind or foolish people will take the bait!"
The cold-faced prince held back and smiled: "So, he obviously threw himself into the net." ”
"yes!! That makes sense! It seems that this Zhang Bacheng knows the murderer, and the relationship is not ordinary, so he came to apologize for him! Qing He seems to have opened his mind.
"Well, in that case..... Continue to lure the snake out of the hole! ”
"Huh? Yelang Simei? ”
"No, Zhang Ju!"
