Li Qinjae was a little regretful.

In fact, Di Renjie is more expert than him, but unfortunately it is a coincidence that Di Renjie has been transferred and transferred to the state before the case.

And what Di Renjie did was more important, Li Qinzai had to be arraigned in person.

There is no need to coerce a confession, and it is even more unnecessary to use torture, what Li Zhi wants is the truth, not a false answer.

After following Li Zhi's will, Li Qinjae realized that he was already in the center of the storm.

The affairs of the palace have always been secretive, and the slightest touch is the end of the broken bones, especially when it comes to witch Gu, and there is a mistake in killing, and I didn't let it go.

When Li Qinzai entered the palace in the afternoon, he saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids being tied up outside the palace gate, most of these eunuchs and palace maids were actually innocent, but whether they were innocent or guilty, most of them could not save their lives.

And if Li Qinzai finds out what truth is found here, there will be more people who will die, the witch curse during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as many as tens of thousands of people were implicated and killed, and this happened to the Tang Dynasty, but I am afraid that it is indispensable.

Rubbing his tired cheeks, Li Qinzai sighed: "Interrogate Guo Xingzhen." ”

Not long after, Guo Xingzhen, who was also wearing heavy shackles, limped into the torture room.

Guo Xingzhen had already been severely punished, his body was covered with whip marks, and one arm was hanging weakly, looking like he was broken, and his appearance was very miserable.

After entering the torture room, Guo Xingzhen looked at the person in front of him, and was shocked to find that it was Li Qinzai, who had a conflict with him in front of the Jinshui Bridge in Taiji Palace a few days ago.

Li Qinzai looked at him coldly, with scrutiny in his eyes, and Guo Xingzhen could see every subtle movement.

"Guo Zhenren, it's been a long time." Li Qinzai said with a smile.

Guo Xingzhen's body shook, and a look of despair appeared on his face.

He was involved in such a horrific case, and the punishment he received in the morning had made him half dead, and the person who interrogated him at this moment still had an old grudge against him, and it was difficult to live today.

"Li, Uncle Li County...... The poor way is wronged. Guo Xingzhen's explanation sounded pale and weak.

He was the only Taoist priest who often went in and out of the palace, and he was very close to Empress Wu and Fan Yunxian, and searched for magic weapons, puppets and birthday talisman paper from Fan Yunxian's residence......

Even Guo Xingzhen himself couldn't help but wonder if he did it himself. The human and physical evidence is too complete to argue.

Li Qinzai stared at his eyes and said slowly: "Let's not talk about the art of disgust and victory, I want to ask, you often go in and out of the palace, which noble person in the palace has a close relationship with, and what does this noble person need a Taoist priest to do in the palace?" ”

Guo Xingzhen hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Poor Dao...... It was summoned into the palace by Empress Wu, when Wang Liwu was abolished, the queen hanged Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, and since then, the queen has often had nightmares, dreaming that Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei asked her for her life. ”

"The queen was deeply disturbed, so she often summoned the poor road into the palace to exorcise evil spirits for the queen and suppress the souls of the dead."

Li Qinzai suddenly wondered: "Is it effective?" ”

"Huh?" Guo Xingzhen's eyes widened in a daze.

"I'm asking, is your exorcism for the queen effective?"

Guo Xingzhen endured the pain of his body and said: "The poor road may not be deep, for more than two years, the poor road has been ascending the altar countless times, but the queen still often has nightmares. ”

Li Qinzai said: "In other words, you are actually a charlatan, and you have deceived the queen, right?" ”

Guo Xingzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, the poor Taoist master went out of Xihuaguan, learned the way of subduing demons since he was a child, and once also used to exorcise evil spirits for the prince Hong, which was quite effective, and was praised by the Son of Heaven, and the poor Taoist is definitely not a charlatan!" ”

Li Qinzai smiled noncommittally, and said, "Guo Zhenren, does you know your situation at this time?" ”

Guo Xingzhen said gloomily: "I know, there is no longer any argument for the poor road." ”

"You often go in and out of the palace, just to exorcise evil spirits for the queen?"

"Yes, Poor Dao dares to swear in the name of the Sanqing Patriarch, except for exorcism for the queen, Poor Dao has never done such a rebellious thing, how can people outside the poor Dao be involved in this palace dispute? Isn't it too long? ”

Li Qinzai said lightly: "Maybe you have already seen the opportunity of heaven, and you are about to ascend to the feather, and before leaving, you will do a big vote, and let the Son of Heaven help you to the clouds......"

Guo Xingzhen: "............"

Has this man just eaten arsenic? Why is it so poisonous to speak.

Li Qinzai sighed and said, "As for me, I actually don't like interrogating prisoners very much, before you, I just interrogated Fan Yunxian, I told him, give his relatives of the nine clans a chance to live, and explain everything honestly." ”

"As long as you take the initiative to admit that you did the art of disgust with victory, although you and Fan Yunxian's dog lives cannot be saved, but you and his relatives of the Nine Clans can avoid death, I just gave Fan Yunxian the opportunity, and now I will also take the initiative to give it to you, Guo Zhenren, do you want to consider confessing guilt?"

"The art of disgust is very big, there will be countless heads in the Taiji Palace, in order to make less killing, I hope you still take the initiative to confess, I don't want to torture you, and I don't like to make the flesh blurred, everyone cooperate with each other, recognize this matter, the world is still peaceful, Guo Zhenren, what do you think?"

Guo Xingzhen was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head resolutely: "No, what Poor Dao has never done, he will never admit his guilt." This is someone framing me, how can Li Xianbo kill innocent people by mistake. ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to answer me, you go back and think about it, things have come to this point, whether you admit guilt or not is a dead end." ”

"Carrying things down before dying, and letting those who are really innocent die a few less, is to accumulate great merit, and it is not necessary to be reincarnated as a prime minister in the next life."

Guo Xingzhen's temperament seemed to be much stronger than Fan Yunxian's, and he shook his head firmly when he heard this: "No, Poor Dao will never admit guilt, I didn't do it, why should I admit my guilt?" Even if I am wrongfully killed, I will leave a clean reputation in the world. ”

Li Qinzai looked at him deeply for a long time, got up and said, "Okay, put aside your ability to pretend to be a ghost, you are still a man." ”

"You go back to the cell first, weigh the pros and cons tonight, and I'll listen to your answer tomorrow."

…………

Walking out of Dali Temple, I breathed a few breaths of fresh air, and the depression in my heart couldn't help but ease.

Song Sen and Liu Asi and other subordinates were waiting outside the gate of Dali Temple, and when they saw Li Qinzai coming out, Song Sen hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle Li, what is the result?"

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Old Song, I, the chief judge, are not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" ”

Song Sen smiled bitterly: "Li Xianbo's kung fu just interrogated the prisoner, and there was news in the palace that Zongzheng Temple had just beheaded ninety-six eunuchs and palace maids, all of whom were implicated in the matter of being tired of winning. ”

"Although the lower official is not in his position, he still hopes to end this case as soon as possible, otherwise the murder will become bigger and bigger, and the name of the benevolence of the Son of Heaven will be tarnished."

Li Qinzai was stunned and said, "You have already killed more than ninety people?" ”

"Yes, the open space in front of Zongzheng Temple is full of blood, and the heads are carried away in bamboo baskets, and truckloads of corpses are sent to mass graves outside the city, which is too scary!"
