The rain outside the door has never stopped.

Spring rain is not like a summer rainstorm, it comes as it is said and leaves as it is said. It's the kind that spreads over the earth endlessly, sometimes for a whole week.

If that's the case, then Shen Mu can really die in a hurry.

After drinking the ginger soup, there was a warm current in my stomach, and beads of sweat oozed from all over my body.

Shen Mu asked, "Brother Pu, how far is it from Xingzhai County?"

Pu Changan said: "It's about more than 20 miles, if it doesn't rain, take the ox cart, and it will be there in an hour." ”

Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, and sighed secretly: That sword fairy girl actually took herself and Avril to such a far place, how did she do it alone?

Perhaps, she was afraid that if she got too close, she would be discovered by the Assassins......

Actually, this is Shen Mu thinking too much about himself. The reason why Shen Mu and the others were left twenty miles away was completely Zhao Qingxuan's own will.

In her words, it's called "out of sight, out of mind." ”

Chen Ping naturally didn't say anything, she talked too much, but left this girl with a topic of bickering!

Shen Mu asked again, "Where can I buy horses in this village?"

Xingzhai County, Tea Bureau.

The rain was still dripping, and there were already a few pools of water under the dripping eaves.

Compared to the rainy day outside, the atmosphere inside the hall was even more gloomy.

Although Gonggong Qiu was sitting calmly on the Taishi chair on the surface, he was actually sitting on pins and needles.

Living people from all over the world have gathered here.

At this time, they no longer spoke, and the more quiet they were, the more confused they became.

The storm after the calm is more frightening than the twittering!

I've been busy for most of the day, and I don't have a clue at all.

Who is this merchant, where did he come from, and why did he target the merchants of the Eight Kingdoms? Gonggong Qiu didn't know anything.

Zhu Biao is also very smart, at this time, he will definitely not stay in the Tea Bureau to touch this nose gray. Find a reason to investigate the assassins, but you can end up with a leisurely situation.

However, he really didn't play well in this abacus!

What kind of person is Gonggong Qiu? An old eunuch who has gone through ups and downs in the internal affairs office has seen too many palace dramas, and once he calms down, what he will do is beyond Zhu Biao's imagination.

Since all the assassins are dead, and there is no proof of death, isn't there still a big living person in the prison?

When Gonggong Qiu thought of Zhu Cheng, he felt a burst of pride in his heart.

"Come on, escort the suspect Zhu Cheng to the court!"

When Zhu Cheng was escorted to the hall, he shouted all the way, he didn't know what happened last night, and thought it was because of the two dead people in Nansang Kingdom, but he didn't know that he was waiting for himself on a bigger charge!

Zhu Cheng was pressed to kneel in the center of the hall, he looked around, saw that there were many foreign guests, but he didn't see his brother Zhu Biao, he was flustered for a while, and shouted aggrievedly: "Father-in-law Qiu, the villain is wronged, please father-in-law!"

Gonggong Qiu put aside the tea bowl and snorted: "Kneel down Zhu Cheng, if you recruit from the truth, our family will be punished less in front of all the businessmen!"

Zhu Cheng shouted: "The villain really didn't do anything...... Please give me justice!"

Father-in-law Qiu slammed the table: "What a Diao Min, I want justice, okay......! Where were you when General Nan Sanghong was stabbed to death?"

Zhu Cheng said: "Villain...... The villain is right next to him!"

Qiu Gong said fairly: "Are there other people in the room?"

"Nope"

"Since there is no one else, you still dare to say that you have been wronged?

Gonggong Qiu took the palm of his hand as a shocking wood, slapped the table, and when he landed, the two attendants "snapped ......" and slapped Zhu Cheng with a few big mouths.

After the slap was over, Gonggong Qiu continued: "I'm asking you, if you are truthful, if you hide it, this is an example!"

"You were the only one in the room at that time, which is enough to prove that you are the murderer of Chairman Mu and General Hong. Say, what do you have to do with the group of Assassins yesterday? Are you their leader? Are they under your command and only burned down the inn last night?"

Zhu Cheng was dizzy from these slaps, his round face was even more reunited, his mouth was swollen into two strings of sausages, and it was difficult to speak. Listening to Gonggong Qiu's questions again, his head was "buzzing", and he couldn't understand it at all, and he was even more confused.

Seeing that Zhu Cheng was hesitant, Gonggong Qiu shouted repeatedly: "Okay! Since you don't speak, our family will beat you up until ......."

Zhu Cheng saw that the two people next to him were about to slap again, and scolded the "turtle son yin and yang" countless times in his heart, but unfortunately he hadn't scolded yet, and the two yacha slapped him repeatedly......

A good face, in the blink of an eye, the nose is blue and the face is swollen, and the mouth and nostrils are all overflowing with blood......

Tesford saw that if he continued to fight, the man would be killed, and he couldn't bear it, so he said: "Gonggong Qiu, I haven't asked the reason for this matter yet, in case someone is killed...... Where are we going to find out!"

Gonggong Qiu raised his hand and stopped the official slapping.

"President Tesford, it is only in order to give you an explanation that we are in such a hurry to interrogate! Everyone also heard it, and he has already admitted that when General Hong died, he was alone in the room...... The evidence is ironclad, and he cannot deny it at all. Against such a hard-mouthed person, if he doesn't use some extraordinary means, he won't let go!"

Tesford said, "But...... You can't kill you!"

Gonggong Qiu said confidently: "Don't worry, this kind of person has rough skin and thick meat, this punishment is nothing to them." ”

When Tesford heard this, he wanted to say something more, and then he thought about it, dozens of people he brought died last night, if he couldn't find the murderer for them, how could he comfort them under Jiuquan!

Since this is the territory of Yunzhao Kingdom, it is up to them to make their own decisions.

And other businessmen think even more.

In their opinion, as long as they can't die, they will fight to the death. They only need one answer, why should they kill.

If Gonggong Qiu can't give himself a satisfactory answer, then ask Yunzhao's court for it. If Yunzhao's court can't give itself a satisfactory answer, then after going back, he will definitely sue the lord of his country and seek justice for the dignity of the country!

A free-spirited and high-sounding justice!

Poor Zhu Cheng didn't know what was going on, and he had fainted after being slapped.

A basin of cold water was poured down, and Zhu Cheng raised his head weakly...... The words were no longer spoken, three or four of the teeth had been knocked out, and the flesh on the face was completely unconscious.

Qiu Gonggong said: "Bold suspect, what else do you have to say?"

I said you uncle, you are a dead eunuch with a lemon head, mouse eyes, an eagle hooked nose, eight-character eyebrows, becky ears, a big mouth, an old Qiang tooth, a wick neck, a high and low arm, long and short hands, chicken breasts, dog belly, and a rice bucket waist......

If Lao Tzu has the opportunity, he will definitely dig up your ancestral grave, and all the bones dug up will be thrown into the dung pit to soak!

Zhu Cheng couldn't wait to pull out the skin of Gonggong Qiu, but unfortunately his hands and feet were tied, and he was held down by two attendants, and he couldn't get away with struggling, he gritted his teeth angrily, and King Kong was angry!

Gonggong Qiu waited for a while, the reason why he slapped Zhu Cheng was to make him speechless, which was a common method in the Forbidden Palace.

To be fair, that's just talk, and it's impossible to justify it.

Since the suspect had nothing to say, he was shackled and taken to the prison of the Criminal Department, awaiting conviction. ”

The businessmen looked at each other, this is the end? This is obviously just a random person to top the bag!

Kakadar said: "Grandpa Qiu, I'm not questioning your methods. However, more than 20 of our companions died here. Such a result seems a little unreasonable. ”

Qiu Gong said fairly: "Prince Kakadar, do you mean to say that our family is perfunctory? This matter is already obvious, isn't it? Zhu Cheng is the leader of the assassins, and those hired murderers all died outside the post station, this is the result, this is the truth, is there any doubt?"

"Doubts!"

A loud voice rang out.

Everyone looked up, only to see two people walking slowly outside the hall.

One man was tall and mighty, holding an oil-paper umbrella. Half of his body was soaking wet, but he tried to keep the umbrella above the head of the man next to him.

The man next to him was about thirty-five or sixteen, not very tall, about six feet, thin and small, wearing a clear cloth silk coat. The facial features are very upright, especially a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, which look particularly heroic. There was a ribbon tied around his head, which was pure white, but he simply tied a handful of hair, and did not pull it into a bun.

The only thing that caught the eye was that there were strands of white silver hair on each side of the top of his head, as if an extra ribbon had been tied!

The two walked under the dripping eaves. The man with the umbrella took it and stepped aside gently, while the man flicked the rain and dew off his body and strode into the hall.

Gonggong Qiu shouted: "What kind of person dares to trespass into the inner hall of the official mansion." Come on, fork it out for me!"

The person who came smiled slightly: "Gonggong Qiu, you are such a great official!"

Gonggong Qiu raised his eyebrows and glared: "Who are you, dare to be so rude to our family!"

The man said, "I? I don't remember who I am, and those who don't hate me call me old man, and those who hate me call me old thing." Whether my father-in-law hates me or not, I can't tell!"

Gonggong Qiu reprimanded: "What a poor-mouthed arrogant man, come here, give me a palm!"

The man said, "My father-in-law still seems to hate me!

He walked as he spoke, completely ignoring the people who were going to slap him.

Stopped in front of a chair in front of him, there was no one on the chair, it was originally reserved for Zhu Biao, he calmly flipped the sleeves of his robe, sat down on the chair by himself, and cocked Erlang's legs. Leisurely and leisurely continued to say to the two yacha who followed him: "You can do whatever you should be busy, there is no need for errands here......"

The two originally wanted to hold him and fight another round according to the appearance of beating Zhu Cheng.

But I don't want this person to be like a master, at ease, and don't take them seriously!

To do it or not to do it, that's the question!

If you make a move and hit the wrong person, you will be the one who suffers!

If you don't do it, Gonggong Qiu will ask for it, and it will be another scolding!

Gonggong Qiu shouted: "What a big breath...... What are you waiting for, let our family do it themselves!"
