Chapter Twenty-Four: Fierce Fighting in the Criminal Department
Zhuang Xing looked at Guan Shirong's expression, and for the first time he had a feeling that was a little unexpected, he knew that Guan Shirong would not let him go easily this time, but without evidence, Guan Shirong had no way to take him Zhuang Xing.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows the grievances between the Dragon and Tiger Gate and the Taiyue faction, if Guan Shirong has no evidence to take him Zhuang Xing, Guan Shirong will not easily take off the label of personal vendetta, and the people in the rivers and lakes will not sit idly by, he will naturally explain to the Shadow Division and publicize it to his fellow people in the rivers and lakes. But Guan Shirong's words just now made him a little uncertain, 'Is Guan Shirong going to frame him?' Want a few fools in the prison of the Criminal Department to correct him Zhuang Xing? A little minion, Zhuang doesn't know anyone, and it's not so simple to condemn him Zhuang Xing. ’
Zhuang Xing was thinking about what kind of conspiracy Guan Shirong used to frame him, and Guan Shirong had already waved to the arresters outside, "Take someone to commit it!" ”
"Yes, take someone to commit it!"
Zhuang Xing turned his head to look out of the door, only to see a group of three prisoners coming over. The three men walked in trembling, kneeling on the ground and not daring to speak.
"Since you're here, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now" Guan Shirong stretched out his hand in the direction of Xiao Zheng, "How do you want to assassinate the prince?" Who told you to assassinate the prince? Let's repeat it all over again. ”
"Hmph, you don't have to play the trick of framing you" Zhuang Xing saw through Guan Shirong's intentions at a glance.
Zhuang Xing's guess is really accurate, these three people have been beaten by Guan Shirong, if he said it according to his meaning, they are not the mastermind Guan Shirong can still exempt them from death, if not, there is only one way to die. These three minions are not hard-boned people, so they happily agreed.
The three of them looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was drinking tea, and their minds were so confused that they almost fell to the ground, "Isn't this the one who drove the car that day?" He is the person Xu Yingxia asked to kill? Or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? The main lord was right under their noses, let them go easily, and they met again in Canaan Temple a few days ago, no wonder the criminal department knew that they were blocking the road to intercept and kill that noble young man, it turned out that the problem was here. Isn't this an idea to carry home and find death by yourself? ’
Thinking of this, the three of them didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and said the words that Guan Shirong explained to them word for word, "His Royal Highness the Prince, my lord, the grass people don't know anything, it was Lord Xu Helm who asked us to intercept and kill a young man with an extraordinary temperament, and the grass people didn't want to go at first, the grass people knew the rules of the court and never dared to kill the people in the court and ordinary people, but Lord Xu Helm told us that this was the order of the deputy master of the village, and the grass people had no way to go, please atone for their sins." After speaking, the three of them kept kowtowing.
"Fart, it's just nonsense, the surname is Guan, your trick of planting and blaming the blame is too clumsy," Zhuang Xingming knew that this was Guan Shirong's conspiracy, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"Deputy Master Zhuang, if you want evidence, I will give you evidence, and now that the evidence is here, you say that I am planting the blame, and the official is really going to be stumped by you. You don't really want Xu Yingxia to correct you, you admit it, right? Guan Shirong looked helpless.
"Hmph, Guan Shirong, what do you want Zhuang to admit that someone Zhuang didn't do?" Of course, Zhuang Xing will not admit it.
"Okay, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, then the official will let you watch the next play, what else do you deny?" Guan Shirong continued to wave his hand.
This time it was a prisoner who was escorted up, Zhuang Xing watched him walk into the hall, with a toothless face, looking at himself while coming in, and then immediately ran behind Guan Shirong, grabbed Guan Shirong's arm and said, "It's him, it's him, there's nothing wrong with his figure, although he was wearing a mask that day, but it's this figure, and he didn't even change his clothes!" It must be him! Please make the decision for the grass people! ”
Xiao Zheng looked at Fang Shisan's perfect performance in surprise, he was a little skeptical that Fu Shikuan was acting at that time, if there was an acting industry, this guy would definitely be a big man.
Zhuang Xing was also confused, although he knew that this was another play, but he really didn't know where this play started.
"Deputy Master Zhuang, you won't still pretend that you don't know who he is now, right?" Guan Shirong looked at Zhuang Xing with a puzzled expression, and secretly laughed in his heart.
"What pretending not to know? Zhuang didn't know who he was. "Zhuang Xing really doesn't know Fang Thirteen.
"It's quite similar, okay, then the official will give you a hint, his name is Fang Thirteen! Do you still say you don't know? "Guan Shirong looked like he was stunned, which made Zhuang Xing puzzled. Isn't that right, Fang Thirteen? It was he who killed Xu Yingxia. 'The killer who killed Xu Yingxia, Longhumen naturally got the news for the first time.
"You are Fang Thirteen? Did you kill Xu Yingxia? Zhuang Xing looked at him with a murderous face, Xu Yingxia deserves to die, but he can't die in the hands of the killer, he must be dealt with in accordance with the rules of the Dragon Tiger Gate, this is the rule of the Jianghu faction, so the Dragon Tiger Gate is going to find Fang Thirteen for revenge.
Seeing Zhuang Xing looking at himself with a murderous expression, Fang Shisan was really scared, the murderous aura of the Grandmaster Master was not something that he, a first-class master, could resist.
Guan Shirong stood in front of Fang Shisan and met Zhuang Xing's gaze, "What?" In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in the hall of my Criminal Department, you still want to kill people and kill people? Don't you take the rules of my Dayu court into account? ”
"Kill people?" Zhuang Xing seemed to have captured something, but he couldn't confirm it.
At this time, Fang 13 gave him the answer, "Yes, the grass people asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to call the shots for the grass people, that is, he paid for me to kill Xu Yingxia, although he wore a mask that day, but there was nothing wrong with his body and clothes, and there was nothing wrong with his voice." Afterwards, he chased and killed the grass people, but fortunately the grass people were clever enough to escape his pursuit. Fang Shisanbai fell to the ground and loudly told Xiao Zheng the reason, "Today the grass people only know that he is the deputy master of Longhumen Zhuang, when the grass people killed Xu Yingxia, Xu Yingxia also said in order to protect himself, 'It was all made by the deputy master of the village', the grass people didn't know what it meant at the time, and now they remembered that he wanted to kill Xu Yingxia by the hand of the grass people, and then killed the grass people in the name of revenge for Xu Yingxia in Longhumen, so as to get rid of the suspicion of killing people himself." Your Highness, please be the master of the grass people! ”
"You're looking for death!" When Zhuang Xing heard this innocent accusation, he became angry, and slapped Fang Thirteen with a killing move.
What Guan Shirong was waiting for was that he resorted to murderous means, and he slapped Zhuang Xing's way head-on.
At the same time, Zhuang Xing felt that a silver needle flew directly to his head in the direction next to Xiao Zheng, if he didn't dodge it in time, he would definitely die on the spot, but if he dodged the silver needle, he would definitely not be able to dodge Shirong's palm.
Between the lightning and the fire, Zhuang Xing had already weighed the pros and cons, his body drove his head to turn right instantly, and the silver needle flew to the door with his ears rubbed his ears, and directly penetrated the door board, leaving a needle hole.
Guan Shirong naturally would not let go of this opportunity, even if he couldn't hit Zhuang Xing's heart, but slapping his shoulder with all his strength also caused Zhuang Xing a lot of internal injuries.
Zhuang Xing quickly retreated with the strength of Guan Shirong's palm, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Presumptuous, in front of Your Highness, you dare to hurt people, you are impatient!" Xiao Junzi looked at him with a murderous expression.
Guan Shirong didn't make another move, but he was still standing in front of Fang Shisan, as if to prevent him from continuing to kill people, and the arresters outside the courtyard instantly surrounded him.
Zhuang Xing looked at Guan Shirong's appearance, thinking about the silver needle just now, and immediately thought of that terrifying existence, if he dared to continue to shoot here today, he would definitely die without a place to be buried.
Zhuang Xing did not hesitate at all, and knelt on the ground directly to Xiao Zheng, "Your Highness atoned for your sins, it is not offensive to Your Highness, Fang Thirteen wronged Zhuang, Zhuang was angry and shot out in anger, please Your Highness will be punished lightly for the sake of Zhuang's unintentional offense" After that, he fell directly to the ground and waited for Xiao Zheng's disposal.
Xiao Zheng naturally knew that Fang Thirteen's nonsense had forced him to be anxious, but the shot just now was indeed suspected of offense, and Zhuang Xing also admitted the guilt of offense, "Murderous intent in front of this king, plus Fang Thirteen and your subordinates' corrections, how can you convince this king that your murderous intent is not aimed at this king?" ”
Zhuang Xing was lying on the ground, he could feel that Guan Shirong's killing machine was still locking him, if he dared to move without the consent of the prince, Guan Shirong would definitely take action immediately, and if he dared to fight back, the silver needle would also lock him again.
The desire to survive made him suppress the grievances in his heart, "Your Royal Highness Mingjian, although Zhuang is reckless in martial arts, he has always strictly followed the laws of the imperial court, and does not dare to exceed the slightest bit, Zhuang's respect for the court and His Royal Highness can be revealed, please don't believe in other people's frame-ups." I believe that His Royal Highness should also hear about the grievances between Longhumen and Taiyue faction, Guan Shirong announced his personal vendetta and deliberately framed Zhuang, if Zhuang had any disobedience, how could he dare to enter the capital single-handedly? ”
"The evidence is in front of you, if you don't enter the capital, you will die even worse! The opposite trick is good! Guan Shirong naturally won't give him a chance to breathe.
"Your Highness, please don't believe the villain's words, if it's not good, he arranged for someone to assassinate His Highness, and then took the opportunity to frame Zhuang, Your Highness, please think twice" Knowing that Guan Shirong would not let go of himself easily, Zhuang Xing naturally would not let go of the opportunity to drag him into the water.
"You are clever and eloquent, and dare to slander the head of this official?" Guan Shirong admired his ability to bend and stretch, and his quick thinking.
Zhuang Xing was still lying on the ground, motionless, "Zhuang naturally knew that it was not his own doing, and these so-called evidences that should not have appeared in front of His Royal Highness, it can be seen that someone did it deliberately, and the person who took out the evidence to frame Zhuang must be the murderer!" "Since I can't be good, I just bite to the end.
Xiao Zheng is also thinking about how to deal with it, maybe what role Longhumen plays in it, and whether Zhuang Xing is involved? But he knows today's framed drama, Zhuang Xing is the current helmsman of the Jianghu faction after all, if he doesn't handle it casually, it will cause chaos in the rivers and lakes, which is not what Xiao Zheng wants to see.
"Zhuang Xing, this king doesn't care whether you participated in the assassination of this king or not, and whether Xu Yingxia was assigned by you or not, this king gives you three days, this king believes that the strength of the Dragon Tiger Gate should be enough to track down the clues within three days, and the person behind the scenes can't be handed over within three days, this king doesn't mind choosing to believe Fang Thirteen's words." Xiao Zheng stared at Zhuang Xing, who was lying on the ground, and gave his answer.
"Your Highness, Fang Thirteen is talking nonsense, now that the clue has been broken, Zhuang really doesn't know where to start~" Zhuang Xing saw hope and felt hopeless.
"This is not a problem that this king should consider, what this king heard is that the clue is cut off from you, and you will be responsible for connecting the clue to this king!" Xiao Zhengdu felt that he was a little unreasonable.
"Yes! Zhuang will definitely do his best to track down the clues of His Royal Highness! Knowing that it cannot be changed, Zhuang Xing can only accept the reality.
"Okay, you go back, I hope this king can get a satisfactory answer within three days."
Hearing that Xiao Zheng asked him to leave, Zhuang Xing's tense heart relaxed, and he didn't know what the result would be in three days, but at least he could leave here alive now, "Your Highness Xie, Zhuang will definitely do his best to investigate this case." ”
With that, Zhuang Xing slowly straightened up and bowed down.
There are only three days, and in order to live, he has to seize everything he can, whether it is time or people!
