Chapter 83: Testifying against the Murderer
Zhang Yuan sat at the table, his two hands on the table, and the one on the left held his right hand, rubbing it slowly, while his eyes unconsciously looked out of the foggy window.
It was raining heavily outside, which made the city of Jinguan, which was already in the midst of the war, even more overshadowed, and the atmosphere became depressing. And in such weather, Zhang Yuan also unconsciously remembered his own things.
Speaking of which, it's been three months since I've been here, and I don't know how my parents are doing, although I can't live in that world, but there are still things I can't let go. Zhang Yuan sighed, first experienced the war of Hanse, but when he came here, he encountered war again, and now it has stopped a little, and as soon as the freshness passes, he will be irrepressibly homesick.
"Hey, what do you want? Alas, why do you wear so many rings on your hands, let me see. Just as Zhang Yuan was wandering out of the world, a pair of lotus arms suddenly poked out from both sides of his neck, and a weight instantly pressed on his back.
Bastard, give me back the atmosphere just now! Zhang Yuan looked at Li Ran's hands speechlessly fiddling with the magic storage ring on his hand, and said weakly: "This is the magic storage ring that my teacher made for me to practice controlling magic power." Also, can you not lie on my back like this, the impact is not good. ”
Li Ran didn't intend to let go of Zhang Yuan at all, after she heard Zhang Yuan's words, she was a little teasing, and the corners of her mouth raised and said: "I said, you are a man, I don't feel embarrassed or anything, why do you still have opinions?" You should feel that you have taken advantage of it. ”
"No, I just feel a lot of pain."
Li Ran: ?
Si Zhi was walking alone in the rain, and there was nothing to cover his head, but as soon as the raindrops landed a little above his head, it was as if they had touched some obstacle, splashing into countless small droplets and falling from his side.
In fact, if you look closely, you can see that Si Zhi's figure is hidden in a thin layer of earthy yellow, the same as the magic shield that Zhang Yuan had seen on Yin Jianren's body before, and now this shield is taking on the role of keeping out the rain.
Soon, Si Zhi came to a door, he stopped, stretched out a hand and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan's appearance startled Si Zhi. At this time, Zhang Yuan had two rags in his nostrils, and he could faintly see blood stains, he originally planned to use the rags as toilet paper, but it turned out to be a little hideous. At this time, one of his eyes also squinted, and the entire circle around the eye turned blue-purple.
"What's wrong with your nose?" Si Zhi entered the door and looked Zhang Yuan up and down, but found no other injuries, so he asked.
"Ah, this, it's nothing, I just accidentally bumped into it."
"Did you hit your eyes too? It's really bad, why are you so careless? You've been around the battlefield unscathed, and now you're wounded when the battle stops. Si Zhi probably knew that Zhang Yuan was not telling the truth, so he stretched out a finger and pointed at Zhang Yuan, teasingly.
"Haha, what the president taught me is that I will pay attention next time." Zhang Yuan scratched his head, and there were two more red lumps on his face in addition to purple, but he was embarrassed to say that he was beaten by Li Ran.
The ghost knew that the guy would suddenly punch him twice in the face, didn't he just mock her? As soon as Zhang Yuan thought of this, he felt hot in his nose again, and at this moment the murderer ran back to his room, and just now Zhang Yuan was lying on the floor with his face covered by himself.
Si Zhi waved his hand: "Don't call me president, I'm a deputy, and you have fought side by side with my brother, you can just call me by my name, if you think it's inappropriate to call me senior." By the way, is Li Ran still in his room, can you help me call her over? I have something I want to talk to you both about. ”
"Okay senior, I'll ...... it" Zhang Yuan walked to the door, and after opening the hidden door, he was suddenly stunned. He looked at the pouring rain outside, turned his head and called out with a wry smile, "Senior."
Si Zhi patted his head, and then realized that he had forgotten that Zhang Yuan didn't know magic, such a heavy rain, Zhang Yuan was afraid that he would not be directly drenched in soup when he went out.
"I was negligent, forget it, I'll go and call her over myself."
After a while, Si Zhicai walked into Zhang Yuan's room with Li Ran. However, Li Ran didn't seem to have the consciousness that he should feel guilty about beating someone, but was first shocked after seeing Zhang Yuan's face, and then covered his mouth.
Zhang Yuan immediately glared angrily, he wanted to ask the other party who he thought this look was due to him, but Si Zhi was still here, so he could only stare at Li Ran.
"Alright, now both of you are here. I'll give you a brief overview of today's negotiations, and then you should know what I'm coming to you for. ”
The matter of negotiation, Zhang Yuan's normal eyes opened a little widen involuntarily, the negotiation was attended by the high-level leaders of both sides, what can it do with himself, Si Zhi's words suddenly stimulated his curiosity.
"Today, we talked to the Ganghe people about asking for reparations, and also about their withdrawal of troops. The things that the prince on the other side could decide were probably all settled, except for one thing that went wrong. We demanded that Gangga hand over the murderer of the students in the Western Army and try him in Kitcher, but the other party flatly denied their actions. ”
When Li Ran heard this, his expression instantly became angry, and he said, "But didn't we catch a lot of prisoners? Let these captives testify, and then find out that bastard murderer and make him pay! ”
"Ahem." Si Zhi coughed twice, and the expression on his face became a little subtle, "Those captives, all of them are dead." Speaking of which, this is a dereliction of duty on our side, but I didn't expect that even under strict guard, someone would be able to poison those Gangga soldiers. ”
Zhang Yuan frowned, but it was a pity that he frowned so much that he didn't feel serious at all, but he was about to laugh when he saw it. However, although Zhang Yuan looked funny, he was thinking about the right thing, and when he mentioned poisoning just now, he instantly thought of the smiling tiger named Yelu Yangsu. And after Zhang Yuan was recruited before, he also went to learn about Yelu Yangsu, and knew that in addition to the teachers in the academy, the other party also had a teacher from the temple, who happened to be a master of using drugs.
Si Zhi put away the smile that flashed on his face, and seeing that Zhang Yuan was a little enlightened, he slowly spoke: "We should have thought of going together, this incident also shows that there is also a kick in this matter." So the only witnesses to this matter are the two of you, and you've seen each other's faces, so ......"
Li Ran raised his head abruptly and suddenly asked, "Wasn't that guy also present at the time?" The bastard's Gangga people were also beaten away by him, why couldn't he stand up and testify, why didn't he stand up and point out the butcher who killed innocents indiscriminately in the academy? After Li Ran finished asking, her breasts were still slightly undulating, obviously she was also very indignant about this matter.
"Well, this, you listen to me first. General Li has some things, and it is not convenient for him to come forward and testify, so I came to find the two of you. Moreover, if someone from our military department comes out to testify, it is inevitable that the other party will gossip. Si Zhi was stunned, lowered his head and took a deep breath, then raised his head and explained to Li Ran.
It's really a bad rhetoric, Zhang Yuan sneered, and suddenly asked: "It's inconvenient, do you mean the relationship with that side?" Zhang Yuan had already guessed the twists and turns at this time, especially after Li Yanzhang told about the grievances between the temple and the military headquarters yesterday, it seemed to clear the fog in front of him for him.
In fact, Zhang Yuan also knew that it was not good to pick out this topic, but because of the song, the gap between him and the temple was not small, so now Zhang Yuan was very eager to understand the situation of the temple from Si Zhi's mouth.
Si Zhi was stunned again, Li Ran's eyes lit up, she saw Si Zhi's reaction in her eyes, and immediately knew that Zhang Yuan was right, it seemed that the temple was hindering the process of chasing the murderer.
At this time, Si Zhi was also a little entangled, he opened the five fingers of his right hand, stretched out his hair and rubbed it, and then as if he had made up his mind, he looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal to tell you, after all, I have to ask the two of you." It is true that our military headquarters cannot stand up for this matter, and now our relationship with the temple is rather delicate, and no one knows what kind of tacit agreement my father reached with the archbishop of the west.
Besides, I estimate that if my father and the temple don't want to take the blame for this Gangga invasion, we still have to speak in unison with each other, so we can't provoke the temple too much. Therefore, the military department chose to keep its promise, and it is up to you to testify. ”
Zhang Yuan's uninjured eye also narrowed this time, and he could catch a lot of loopholes in Si Zhi's words. Si Zhi meant that he was just afraid that Yin Jianren would shake out all the things that the temple had lured the wolf into the room, but the left and right sides were to let the Ganghe people call people out for trial, wouldn't it all end up the same in the end?
In other words, not all of Sizhi's words are true. But Zhang Yuan also had a bit of a headache, he didn't have a position to question Si Zhi's words, and he didn't want to be in such a hurry about the temple.
At this moment, Li Ran suddenly jumped up from his seat, clenched a fist and said, "Hmph, we will definitely identify him!" Tell me about the time, when are we going to find out the murderer? ”
Zhang Yuan patted his head, and was suddenly a little speechless, is this aunt really stupid or fake stupid. In fact, Zhang Yuan wanted to refuse Si Zhi a little, and it would be bad if this kind of thing involved him in some strange disputes. But now that Li Ran jumped out, Zhang Yuan could only pinch his nose and admit it.
Forget it, anyway, there is Li Ran with me, she is Li Zhang's sister, I guess Si Zhi will not really cheat us. But what is the problem here, and what is the military department concerned about?
Gangga Palace.
Heroff sighed, I don't know why, he always felt that many ministers below today were like hormones, and they all became aggressive roosters one by one. And the ministers all agreed on the idea of continuing the war with Kitcher.
However, as the lord of a country, Herulf did not show these surprises on his face, he looked at the people below, and suddenly said: "Our current teleportation array is in the hands of the Kircher Temple. And to build another one is a lot of money. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister found materials that can build a portal a few days ago, and I am willing to give them all to the king for the war with Kitcher!"
"The king, the ministers also have ......"
"Your Majesty, the ministers can buy ......"
These guys, when have they been so selfless, Heruff squinted his eyes and looked at the ministers below who were kneeling to ask for instructions, and thought about it in his heart, and said: "I have to work for you, but it is very inconvenient for us to send your materials over now." ”
"I'm going to distract the Kitches." A deep voice was remembered in the main hall, and when the ministers and attendants in the entire palace heard this voice, they only felt that another mountain was pressing on their bodies, and they didn't dare to breathe.
After a while, everyone felt that the pressure on their bodies had disappeared, and they all turned their heads and ears.
At this time, a figure shook in front of the gate of the Ganghe Wangdu, and appeared thousands of meters away in the next second.
Earth-based magic, shrinking the ground.
