"Enough!" Qiu Yongnian got up from his seat, pointed at Xu Zun and shouted, "Xu Zun, I have done my best to be benevolent to you, don't be ignorant."

"Those who serve in the county government are indeed instructed by Qiu, but Qiu does things according to the rules, they all have legal procedures, and they also adhere to the conditions for recruitment by the county government.

"As for their origins, they have nothing to do with Qiu.

"There is also a large part of it, which was introduced by Liu Zhang, the main bookkeeper, and I don't know the details of those people.

"Besides, Xinye County has such a population, why is it suspicious that there are a few more outsiders to do business? Why do you have to get in touch with this official?

"Also, your statement about the carriage is also pure nonsense, out of thin air, according to what you say, it means that our Xinye County Ya has become a base camp for criminals?

"Your Excellency!" He turned to Cai Kun and said excitedly, "Xu Zun has no king's law, slanders the officials of the imperial court, has a vicious heart, and his heart can be punished, please make the decision for this official!" ”

"Hmm......" Cai Kun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, nodded slightly, pointed to those household registration books and said to Xu Zun, "Xu Zun, people are right, just with these household registration books, nothing can be explained at all!" Do you have any stronger evidence? ”

"Yes," Xu Zun said, "It was just a small warm-up, and then the real show!" ”

"You...... Let me say what is good about you? Cai Kun sighed heavily and blamed, "Since you still have evidence, then go straight to the topic and prove that it's not good for us to see?" ”

"Not good!" Xu Zun said solemnly and casually, "If you don't warm up, I'm afraid that what I say next will scare you!" ”

"You ......" Cai Kun frowned, picked up the teacup next to him angrily and said, "Okay, then you can continue!" ”

After speaking, he pretended to take a leisurely sip of tea, but he was actually anxious in his heart.

However, Cai Kun's words were undoubtedly tantamount to acquiescing to Xu Zun, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on Qiu Yongnian's forehead, and he was neither sitting nor standing, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Qiu County Order," Xu Zun turned to Qiu Yongnian again and launched a new round of his attack, "Do you remember the two corpses that Lord Cai showed you at the beginning of the ascension?"

"Last night, a group of four of them sneaked into Yizhuang with oil drums, intending to burn the four corpses stored in Yizhuang.

"Fortunately, I had expected it a long time ago, so I let Lord Cai ambush the guards in advance and capture them on the spot.

It's a pity that Liang San and Cheng Wen committed suicide by poisoning on the spot, and in the end only the other two were captured alive!

"Master Cai, am I right?" Xu Zun raised his head and asked.

Cai Kun, who was sipping tea, almost squirted out the tea, hurriedly pressed the lid of the cup, and nodded in acknowledgement:

"Yes, this is true, the other two are being interrogated, and in a short time, they will definitely be recruited!"

Yes?

Oh?

Hearing the conversation between Xu Zun and Cai Kun, the scene was confused.

No one can understand that Xu Zun actually sang and harmonized with Cai Kun, where is this still the scene of the trial?

If it weren't for Xu Zun wearing handcuffs and shackles, he would have thought he was the chief judge!

"Qiu County Order," Xu Zun said to Qiu Yongnian with a slight expression, "You can't think of it, right?" In fact, there were no guerrilla generals in Gu Nan County at all, and there were no Donggong guards who could recognize the assassins.

"All of this is a set set up for you by me and Master Cai!

"You've been fooled! Hmph," Xu Zun rubbed his palm, "You designed me so many times, and finally I returned the salute once, how is it, how does it feel?" ”

Hearing Xu Zun's words, everyone became more and more incomprehensible.

However, no one noticed that Qiu Yongnian's body was shaking irrepressibly.

"Xu Zun," Qiu Yongnian was shocked, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't understand what you said. ”

"Yes," Li Yan couldn't help but say, "Xu Zun, he doesn't understand, and I don't understand."

"Why did those people go to Yizhuang to burn the corpses, what is the point of doing this, and why do you say that this matter has something to do with the Qiu County Order?"

Li Yan's question was also a question for everyone present.

Even, including Cai Kun, the leader of the Inner Guard Pavilion, leaned out half of his body, looking eager to know the answer.

"The reason why Qiu Yongnian sent people to Yizhuang to burn the corpses," Xu Zun said, "is not to burn all of them, but to burn one of them." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the four bodies lying flat in the public hall, and with a snort, lifted the white cloth of one of them.

Under the white cloth, the corpse of the Taoist priest suddenly appeared.

The Taoist robes on the corpse had faded, and the face was twisted and hideous, and there was already severe decay.

The strong smell of corpses came out, so that the officials couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.

"Xu Zun, don't talk nonsense," Qiu Yongnian reprimanded, "Why did you say that I sent someone?" ”

"Yes, Xu Zun," Cai Kun on the main seat reminded, "Although I deliberately set a trap in front of Qiu County's order, and then something happened in Yizhuang, you can't talk nonsense!" ”

"This ......" Qiu Yongnian's face turned dark, and cold sweat broke out on his cheeks.

Cai Kun's words are obviously insinuating.

"Xu Zun, get down to business," Cai Kun urged, "Tell me quickly, why do they have to burn the corpse of the Taoist priest?" ”

"The answer is very simple," Xu Zun said, pointing to the corpse, "This person is not a Japanese assassin at all!" ”

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Won't it?"

The officials present all left their seats and leaned out, their eyes full of deep incomprehension.

"Not a Wa Assassin?" Cai Kun pondered with his eyebrows, but he was a little puzzled.

"My lord, please look," Xu Zun said as he reached out and grabbed one of the Taoist priest's legs, pointing to the stitched toes, "The sides of his toes are swollen, and it is obvious that the suture wounds have not healed yet."

"Looking at the hole used for suturing, there is still an abscess coming out, which means that his toe has not healed, so he was in a hurry to remove the suture......"

"Oh, got it!" Cai Kun had already understood, "The assassination incident happened eleven years ago, if the injury on his foot was caused by the Criminal Department, he should have healed long ago!" ”

"Huh?" Li Yan's eyes widened, "So...... This Taoist priest is not an assassin? ”

After Li Yan finished speaking, he suddenly felt much more down-to-earth in his heart.

If this Taoist priest is really not a Japanese assassin, then doesn't it mean that the iron coffin case has nothing to do with the assassination of the Queen Mother, then they don't have to be implicated in Tangzhou Mansion?

"It's not just a toe injury, all the injuries on his body are new injuries!" Xu Zun said, "The earliest is less than a year. ”

"Huh? No, no! Who knows, Chen Taiji suddenly raised an objection, "Xu Zun, I have been in the Criminal Department for many years, and I have examined countless corpses, and I can only distinguish new injuries within a few months based on the healing degree of wounds.

"Unless it's a minor, a wound that has been healed for a year can't be distinguished from an old one.

"Also, our criminal department is not a medical hall, how can we be careful and careful in stitching up prisoners?" He pointed to the corpse, "It is possible that his toe is only an old wound that has not healed and is caused by an infection, and it cannot be concluded that it must be a new injury." ”

Hearing Chen Taiji's words, everyone nodded.

Chen Taiji, as the Imperial History of the Criminal Department, is not only proficient in corpse examination, but also can be called authoritative.

If he can't tell it, then how can Xu Zun tell it?

So, everyone turned their curious eyes to Xu Zun, wanting to see what Xu Zun said?

"Chen Yushi," Xu Zun said after thinking for a few seconds, "If I can't prove that the deceased has new injuries from within a year, then you can't prove that these injuries are all old injuries from eleven years ago, right?" ”

"This?" Chen Taiji pondered for a moment and nodded.

"In that case, then let's settle the matter," Xu Zun said happily, "Let's move on to the next topic!" ”
