Chapter 5: The Confusing Truth
"Meet the king. ”
Bai Yan is still wearing silver armor, but compared to not long ago, he has a murderous aura on his body, and he has obviously gone through a killing.
"Bai Jun quickly got up and went back and forth, but what did you forget?"
Bai Yan got up, didn't squint, didn't seem to see Chen Lei and Guo Qu, and replied respectfully: "The minister has never forgotten anything, but the things that the king handed over to the minister have been completed, and I am here to report it." ”
Jiang Ji was a little surprised, this speed was inevitably too fast.
"How fast Bai Jun is! There is a gentleman, and there is no worries. ”
"The king praises falsely, and the minister has only done what he has done. ”
Listening to the words of the two as if playing dumb riddles, Guo Qu couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask the king, I don't know what the king and Lang Zhongling are talking about?"
Chen Lei also quietly pricked up his ears.
Jiang Ji smiled inexplicably: "This matter is still up to Lang Zhongling." ”
When he knew that Chen Lei and Guo Qu were in the dormitory, Bai Yan had some ideas in his heart, so he deliberately asked to see him at this time.
At this time, his expression was solemn: "I have been ordered by the king to thoroughly investigate the murder of the king, and twenty-three people have been arrested, all of whom have privately transmitted the palace information to the outside of the palace, or specially guided the king to go hunting on that day. ”
"Chen Xiang and the lieutenant happen to be there, why don't you go and interrogate these prisoners together?"
Guo Qu immediately agreed: "That's right, I want to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to murder the king." ”
He was not involved in this matter, nor did he send anything to this palace, so he was naturally not afraid to meet these people, and even glanced at Chen Lei deliberately: I don't know if this old boy is involved in this matter?
It stands to reason that Chen Lei is undoubtedly very suspicious, but Guo Qu, who is familiar with the character of this old opponent, knows that this old boy has a very cautious personality, or is conservative, and I am afraid that he did this kind of radical thing.
Chen Lei also did not hesitate, and agreed directly.
"Your Majesty?"
Bai Yan cast his inquiring gaze on Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji got up: "This matter is about Gu's life, Gu naturally has to go and see and hear who wants to kill Gu." ”
"Bai Jun, you lead the way in front, since this matter has been left to you to deal with, then everything will be decided by you. ”
Jiang Ji's words undoubtedly gave Bai Yan a lot of face, and the trust in them made Bai Yan even more excited.
He said loudly: "I will not let the king down!"
Jiang Ji bowed slightly, followed behind Bai Yan, and walked towards the square in front of the main hall, followed by Chen Lei and Guo Qu.
By the time the four of them arrived, the square had already prepared seats and various torture instruments.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Lieutenant, please stay here for a moment, and the interrogation will begin immediately. ”
Jiang Jidao: "Bai Jun doesn't have to worry about me and others, just do what you think." ”
"No!"
Bai Yan turned around and walked a few steps forward, pressing his sword and standing on the stairs in front of the main hall: "Bring Fan Si over." ”
There were no suspects in the square, apparently all of whom were being held elsewhere.
After a while, Fan Si was brought over by two armor soldiers, one left and one right, who was the chamberlain in the palace and the person who guided Yingxiu to hunt that day. Baixiao
"Fan Si, are you guilty?"
Fan Si had obviously been whipped, and the wounds on his body were particularly eye-catching, and when he heard Bai Yan's question, he noticed that Jiang Ji and the three of them were also there, and immediately cried and shouted: "The villain is wronged, the villain is loyal, and the sun and the moon can be seen from the sincerity, the king, the villain is wronged!"
"Hmph, stubborn, look what this is. ”
Bai Yan waved his hand, and someone immediately presented a white and flawless jade, which was the size of a palm and finely carved, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance.
"You were born poor, and you were in this palace at the age of twelve, and you have no relatives or other sources of money, so I ask you, how did you get this jade?"
"This ......"
Fan Si's already pale face became even paler, and fine beads of sweat continued to pour out on his forehead.
"Don't say it yet, come here, go to punishment!"
Immediately someone came up with a red-hot soldering iron.
Fan Si's whole body trembled, his blue lips trembled and said: "I said, I recruited them all, it was the servant Huo Jun who gave it to the villain, and he also asked the villain to lure the king to hunt." ”
Servant, corresponding to the servant, is dedicated to the training and management of the carriage and horses of the princes and kings, and when the princes and kings travel, they are driven by them, just like the chariot orders on the earth, and they are the close ministers of the princes and kings.
Bai Yan frowned slightly, if Fan Si confessed to someone else, even if it was a high-ranking official in Qin, he would have a reason to take this opportunity to let Guo Qu and Chen Lei bring people to confront them, or have conclusive evidence to arrest them.
However, although Huo Jun is only a servant of Zhi Qianshi, he is the confidant of King Yingxiu of Qin.
"Do you have any proof that what you say is true? If you bite indiscriminately, then don't blame me for being rude. ”
Facing Bai Yan's sharp questioning, Fan Si hurriedly said: "This jade bi is something that the king gave Huo Jun before, and Lang Zhongling only needs to ask Shaofu to know." ”
What Fan Si said was so sure that Bai Yan understood that what he said was true, so he ordered someone to invite Shaofu Fengyu to come over, and at the same time sent someone to arrest Huo Jun.
After finishing the arrangement, Bai Yan looked at Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji only sighed once again about Huo Jun's affairs that the palace was a sieve, but he had no feelings for himself, even if he had served by his original side for seven or eight years.
So Jiang Ji nodded slightly at Bai Yan and motioned for him to let go and do it.
Quietly relieved in his heart, Bai Yan said again: "Bring the next person."
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, some people recruited, some people did not, and then they were tortured to death.
And those who were recruited, Guo Qu sent people to arrest them for further interrogation if they had tangible evidence.
There was no evidence to confront each other, and a few weak-hearted ones were arrested, and the others could only be released for the time being.
During this period, Shaofu Fengyu also arrived and confirmed Fan Si's words.
At the same time, after knowing what Bai Yan had done in this short period of time, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he knew about this matter first, but he hadn't found any valuable clues yet, and Bai Yan hadn't been back for long before he found out so many people.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, Feng Yu, who was quite confident in his ability before, was a little skeptical about life.
I'd better be honest in charge of the palace's goods.
Not to mention the frustration in Feng Yu's heart, the person who went to arrest Huo Jun soon came back and brought back a somewhat surprising news.
Huo Jun fled from Yangzhai City and was killed in the middle of the road.
All the people who got the news couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts: Who is the person behind Huo Jun?
