I don't know how long it took, Lin Haotian had already drunk a few cups with his generals, and then it was as if he suddenly discovered Zhang Hui's existence, he raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "Hey, who is kneeling down below?"

Zhang Hui said loudly again: "Xiaguan Zhang Hui, see General Lin!"

"Oh! It turned out to be Lord Zhang! If you don't sign up for your surname, Ben Shuai won't be able to recognize you. If you don't do it, why did you put a dog skin on your body?" Lin Haotian asked with a deliberate smile.

"Haha-"

As soon as these words came out, they attracted laughter from the audience.

Zhang Hui still knelt on the ground with his head bowed, and replied respectfully: "General Lin led the army into the Red Country, which was ordered by the King of Jin to crusade against the rebellion, and now the rebellion in Wanfang City has fled, but the city still belongs to the Red Kingdom, and the lower officials are the city lords, and there is nothing wrong with wearing the official uniform of the Red Kingdom." Could it be that General Lin wants the lower officials to wear the official uniform of the Jin State and admit that the Jin State wants to annex the Red State?"

One sentence made the laughter in the lobby stop abruptly, people inhaled secretly, and Lin Haotian also frowned and did not speak for a long time.

In this battle, he did not come to annex the Red Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom does not have that kind of national strength at present, this time it is mainly to encroach and divide the Red Kingdom, so that Zhang Hui's words are not quibbles, but very reasonable. Lin Haotian even felt that he should immediately send a letter to the counties and counties occupied by his side, so that officials in various places should no longer wear the official uniform of the Jin State, and should change back to the official uniform of the Red State, so as not to be untruthful.

He agreed with Zhang Hui's words in his heart, but he wouldn't admit it, so he sneered disapprovingly and said: "Hmph! "Finished. He asked slowly, "Lord Zhang, how did you handle the case of Laifu Teahouse?"

Zhang Hui Zhengse said: "All of them have been ascertained below. ”

"Oh?" Lin Haotian was stunned and asked with a smile: "Ben Shuai gave you two days, and you didn't use a day to find out the truth?"

"Yes, General Lin. Zhang Hui said conclusively.

Lin Haotian stared at him for a moment, and said faintly: "Lord Zhang, Ben Shuai has to remind you not to exaggerate in front of Ben Shuai, otherwise you will be convicted of bullying the king." ”

Zhang Hui nodded and replied: "I understand this." ”

"En!" Lin Haotian also wanted to see what the so-called truth was found out by Zhang Hui. He waved his hand and said, "Get up and speak!"

"Thank you, General Lin. Zhang Hui stood up. Unhurriedly, he said, "It has been ascertained below." The murderers in the Laifu Teahouse were all guards in the guard camp beside General Lin......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Wen said angrily: "Zhang Hui, you don't want to frame the blame!" As he spoke, he said to Lin Haotian again: "My lord." The last general will dare to vouch for it with his head. This matter has nothing to do with the guard camp......"

"General Lu, don't talk too much. Otherwise, it will be difficult to end the meeting. ”

"You ......"

"Someone, bring the criminals and confessions!" Zhang Hui turned around. Shouting outside.

As he spoke, a group of direct non-commissioned officers walked in, some of them holding trays, others holding large men in white prison clothes. The prisoners they brought were all covered in bruises, their white prison clothes were stained with blood, and they were pulling their heads one by one, and they didn't know whether they were awake or unconscious.

After they stood still, Zhang Hui pointed to the prisoners and said, "They are Zhao Hu, Yu Chang, and Zhang Tu from the guard battalion, ......" Zhang Hui said as he nodded, calling out the names of ten people in one breath.

Lu Wen's heart trembled, and he looked carefully, that's right, these prisoners were indeed Zhao Hu and others. He stood up and said angrily: "Zhang Hui, you are so bold that you dare to lynch the people of my guard camp?"

"The lower official did not use lynching, but a dignified public trial!" As he spoke, Zhang Hui reached out and picked up a stack of papers on the tray, shook it vigorously, and said, "These are their confessions, please take a look at General Lin." ”

Shao Lin stepped forward, took the confession, turned around and handed it to Lin Haotian.

The latter looked down, and the content of the confession was basically the same, but it was different from what he had heard. At that time, the guards said that it was the wife of the shopkeeper of the teahouse who stripped naked to seduce them, but in the confession, it was said that the wife of the shopkeeper seemed to be sick and bedridden.

Lin Haotian nodded secretly, the statements in these confessions are obviously more credible, even if they are not true, they are not far away.

He was pondering, and Lu Wen shouted loudly unconvinced: "What bullshit confession, it's not that you cheated or you made a trick!"

As if he had expected such a question, Zhang Hui said unhurriedly: "These confessions are absolutely credible, because someone can testify?"

"Who?"

"Mr. Chu!" Zhang Hui said confidently: "When the lower officials interrogated Zhao Hu and others, they were afraid that the interrogation would make mistakes, so they specially invited Mr. Chu to be an observer. In addition, the lower officials were interrogated separately, although there was a punishment, but they did not induce a confession, but the confessions of Zhao Hu and others were exactly the same, if it was really a trick, it would be too much of a coincidence!"

"This ......" Lu Wen was speechless, turned his head to look at Chu Lianyu, and Lin Haotian and the eyes of everyone else also turned to Chu Lianyu, silently asking him if it was true.

Chu Lianyu generously admitted, nodded and said: "What Lord Zhang said is true, when Lord Zhang interrogated Zhao Hu and others, I was indeed present, and Lord Zhang's description is not wrong, it is indeed a separate interrogation of the prisoners, and there is no inducement to confess, the confessions of Zhao Hu and others are exactly the same, and there is only one possibility, they are telling the truth!"

There is Chu Lianyu, a powerful witness, who stood up and spoke, perfectly sealing the mouths of everyone present, even Lu Wen was like a deflated ball, his body shook a few times, and finally, he sat back on the mat weakly.

If the witness Zhang Hui asked for was someone else, the generals would dare to express their dissatisfaction, or even insult them, but this witness was Chu Lianyu, the top boss of the generals, no one dared to say anything, and people hung their heads and chose to be silent.

Lin Haotian looked at Chu Lianyu with a smile, and asked in a strange manner, "I wonder when Lianyu and Master Zhang became so close?"

Chu Lianyu smiled and said, "It was the Lord who appointed Lord Zhang to investigate the case, and at that time, Lord Zhang asked the last general for help, and the last general really couldn't refuse!"

The corners of Lin Haotian's mouth squirmed, as if he was talking, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Hui arched his hand and said: "General Lin, Zhao Hu and others have pleaded guilty and confessed, I don't know what General Lin is going to do?"

Lin Haotian said absentmindedly: "What about in your opinion?"

Zhang Hui said categorically: "It should be punished according to military law." ”

Lin Haotian stared at Zhang Hui, his fist clenched loosely, loosened and clenched, and was speechless for a long time.

Chu Lianyu said in a low voice: "My lord, you have no jokes, since it was handed over to Lord Zhang to handle the case, and now there are results, you can't break your trust!"

Lin Haotian glared at Chu Lianyu angrily, and finally turned his heart sideways and said, "How to deal with it according to military law, let it be handled by Lord Zhang!" After speaking, Lin Haotian drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said tastelessly while standing up: "The wine of the Red Kingdom is too unpleasant to drink, it is difficult to swallow, today's banquet, this is the end!"

Seeing that Lin Haotian was about to leave the table, everyone got up one after another, arched their hands and said, "The last general will send your ...... to you."

"General Lin is slow!" Zhang Hui always disagreed with everyone, and others were sending Lin Haotian away, only he made an incongruous voice.

Lin Haotian said patiently: "Oh, by the way, Ben Shuai hasn't rewarded you yet, right? You can go to Mr. Chu to receive a reward of one hundred taels of gold." He waved his hand casually as if he were sending a beggar.

"I didn't ask General Lin for a reward. Zhang Hui said with a solemn expression: "The reason why I kept General Lin in Xia is because I haven't finished explaining the case. ”

"And?" Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows.

"That's right!" Zhang Hui said: "Last night, I went to examine Yin's corpse and found that the shopkeeper, wife and men of the teahouse all died under swords and other sharp weapons, only the daughter of the shopkeeper was not, but her neck was broken due to external force and she died of suffocation!"

These words made Lin Haotian and the generals present all change their faces, and it was not someone else who broke the neck of the shopkeeper's daughter, it was Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian slowly narrowed his eyes and asked quietly, "Are you so sure?"

"Yes, General Lin!" Zhang Hui Zhengse said: "The daughter of the shopkeeper has obvious scratches on her neck, obviously she was forcibly choked off her neck, and the murderer's methods are extremely fierce and cruel......" (to be continued......
