Chapter 99: Questioning (I)

The next day, the snow stopped.

But the icy weather did not subside because of this, but became colder, and the wind blowing through the street was biting cold.

Cool into the hearts of the people of Qingxi County, in a store running a pig's trotter business on the street, the steaming pork bone soup did not melt away the coldness in everyone's hearts.

"I didn't know that long after,"

A man in a cloth robe picked up the pork bone soup in his hand and sighed: "I heard that at that time, Chen Qingtian took Lord Yushi to inform the people in Lingming Village to go to the entrance of the village to get the quilt, and when the villagers all went out,"

"Suddenly, a group of people in Tsing Yi came out from both sides, you must be able to guess without me saying that these guys are the remnants of the Tsing Yi Gang, and then a group of people in black came, saying that they were the dogs of Zhou Boqian,"

"In order to protect Lord Yushi, Chen Qingtian was stabbed several times in his body, bleeding nonstop, dyeing the snow red, I... I've heard that the adults have fallen into a coma. ”

As the man's voice fell, there was silence.

In the silence, the pork bones emanating from the pot no longer seem to be a mouth-watering delicacy, but a sadness that is hard to swallow.

After a while, some people scolded bitterly, some people got up to help Chen Feng take revenge, and some suggested that they go to visit Chen Feng.

The man stood up, reassured everyone not to get excited, and said: "The matter is far from being so simple, and then I caught and interrogated those people, and the leader of them was Zhu San, who used to be in the Tsing Yi Gang, and he said that it was the adults who instructed Xi Hu to kill Zhou Boqian,"

"Lord Yushi, who has just come to our county not long ago, said that he can go and sue the adult, which may be very disadvantageous to the adult?"

Hearing this, everyone instantly boiled.

Some people didn't even let go of Gao Cheran, and scolded the straight thief without fear of death.

He also said that they had seen the wrong person and thought that this imperial historian was a good official.

Subsequently.

One pass ten, ten pass hundred.

Hundreds of people had gathered in the county town under artificial organization, and they were ready to go to the post house to testify against Chen Feng.

Gao Cheran returned to the post house early this morning, he didn't sleep well in Lingming Village last night, and when he came back, he was about to catch up on sleep, when he was tormented by the boiling sound coming from below.

When he looked at the people who surrounded his post house, all to testify to Chen Feng, he couldn't help but set off huge waves in his heart.

Jia Di also exclaimed: "This Chen Zishi actually has such a reputation among the people, my lord, if he has a second child, it can be said to be a disaster for the imperial court." ”

Gao Cheran understood what he meant, because on a certain level, Chen Feng was basically in control of Qingxi.

"After yesterday's incident, I believe that Brother Chen can see the righteousness of his family and country,"

This sentence surprised Jia Di, because he heard the firmness in it, and asked, "My lord, didn't you say a few days ago that you should be ready to kill Chen Zi?" ”

There are considerations in this regard precisely because of the popular hearts that Chen Feng has mastered in Qingxi.

The officials below were negotiating with the people, and Gao Cheran watched calmly by the window, but he did not directly answer Jia Di's question, but said: "The two groups of people yesterday actually don't know each other at all. ”、

Hearing this, Jia Di frowned, not quite understanding what Gao Cheran wanted to express.

"Those guys are from the south," Gao Cheran looked like he was gently spitting out a mouthful of mist when he said this.

On the contrary, Jia Di could not calm down, and his frightened gaze did not dissipate for a long time, "How can you be sure?" How can you be sure that Chen Zishi did not know the identity of that group of people? ”

"Poison!"

Gao Cheran said: "You should remember that last year, more than a dozen of your Jinyi Guards died in Tianfu for unknown reasons, in fact, the reason why these people were killed was to bring out this poison. ”

"This poison is very complicated to make, colorless and tasteless, once you take it, you will die immediately, what you don't know is that one of the Jinyi guards successfully brought a copy out of the palace, and I also left the capital when the commander told me about it."

Jia Di took a deep breath, he only now understood why Gao Cheran arranged for himself to disguise himself as if he was always in Lingming Village last night, "My lord, I went to the autopsy in person last night?" ”

"Yes," Gao Cheran looked up at the foggy sky, "it seems that the man in the south can't sit still." ”

The cold wind blew across Jia Di's face, and his mood was like this winter phoenix, and he said worriedly: "Do you have to go that far?" ”

"That's not something we can decide, we just need to be ready."

"Then why do you believe that Chen Zishi doesn't know the actions of that person in the south?"

"I don't have proof," Gao Cheran's eyes rippled, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "I just saw his reaction at the time, I shouldn't know." ”

"My lord, this is a bit ridiculous," as a brocade guard, he always remembered the saying that seeing is not necessarily believing.

Gao Cheran didn't explain, and said calmly: "I decided to make Chen Zishi this friend." ”

"Huh?" Jia Di suddenly felt that the tall man in front of him had changed a little, and he didn't look like Yushi.

"I know what you're thinking," Gao Cheran glanced at Jia for the first time and said, "I know it does sound a bit sloppy, but you have to trust my eye for people, otherwise, how could Your Majesty send me here." ”

"But my lord, now Li Zhifeng and Chen Zishi are fighting."

He clearly remembered that Gao Cheran had said before that Li Zhifeng and Chen Zishi could only leave one, because the Qingxi County Government could not continue the infighting, "If Li Zhifeng wins, my lord..."

"Li Zhifeng can't win," In fact, they all knew that Zhou Boqian was killed by Xi Hu, and he was not instructed by Chen Feng.

But they can't say it because it doesn't matter.

This case.

It took three days before the ascension began.

It's not that Zhu San didn't believe in the yamen and didn't bring Xi Hu out, but it was mainly that Gao Cheran wanted to give Chen Feng a little more time, so he delayed it for a few days on the grounds that he was injured.

This was already obvious favoritism, but Li Zhifeng didn't say anything, because at the same time, Gao Cheran completely put the right to hear this case into his hands.

On that day, the weather was clear.

Chen Feng came on crutches because of a leg injury, and his image looks a little like the two characters when he came to Qingxi.

Xu Weiyang helped him, while Chen Feng looked at the rising sun, and then walked into the lobby, looked at Li Zhifeng above and said with a smile: "Do you think that today's sun is particularly similar to the day when the adult tried the martial arts case a few months ago?" ”

"Come on, give a seat to County Lieutenant Chen," Li Zhifeng said coldly, he naturally hoped to make Chen Feng kneel below, but Chen Feng was still the county lieutenant of Qingxi at the moment.

Gao Cheran sat next to him to listen to the trial, even if he wanted to vent a few words to Chen Feng in his heart, he didn't dare to say it.

Immediately, Zhu San was brought to the hall.

After simply going through the previous procedures, Zhu San logically proposed to let Xi Hu and Chen Feng confront the court.

Li Zhifeng agreed.

Subsequently, Xi Hu, who had been shackled, was taken to the court, and successively saluted Gao Cheran and Li Zhifeng, and finally bowed to Chen Feng under Li Zhifeng's horrified gaze.
