Twilight eclipse, i.e., midnight, is from nine to eleven o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Gao took fifty guards, hurried non-stop, and finally came to the outside of Changxingli, and with a strong lifting of the reins, the horse immediately stopped, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he shouted: "Where is Lizheng?" ”

The knights behind quickly tightened the reins, and all the fast horses stopped at the same time and stood neatly behind Zhao Gao.

Although they were tired and out of breath on the road, their momentum was not weak.

At the first stop outside the inner gate, all the people who wanted to go out of the inner gate were frightened and retreated.

The prison gate stepped forward first, and saw that they were riding war horses, wearing weapons, domineering, and their identities were definitely not simple, so he said cautiously: "I have seen the officials, please wait for a while, I will go to find Li Zheng." ”

With that, he hurried inside.

After a while, Li Zheng hurriedly walked out and asked, "May I ask where the official came from?" What's the matter? ”

"Xianyang!"

Zhao Gao said lightly.

When Li Zheng heard this, his attitude was more respectful.

Those who came from Xianyang must be big officials.

Zhao Gao said again: "Bai Zhong, a hundred generals, is he here?" ”

Li Zheng and the others were shocked, they actually came for Bai Zhong.

What happened in Changle yesterday has been reported back to Changxing early this morning, of course they know that Bai Zhong has an accident, and they think to themselves, are the military people going to come to arrest Bai Zhong and punish him?

But it's not like that.

Bai Zhong had an accident last night, and someone came from Xianyang to arrest people today, and the span is a bit large.

Li Zheng thought about it, and felt that Zhao Gao was very likely to come to Bai Zhong because of his military exploits, and said: "Bai Zhong was taken away by the pavilion chief of Weishui Beiting yesterday, and he should still be in the county office, saying that he killed someone, I think Bai Zhong was framed by them." ”

It's good that people are still here.

Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to run back and forth anymore, and then said angrily: "Dare to frame Bai Baijiang, they are looking for death!" ”

"Go find someone!"

He raised his horsewhip and changed direction towards Yixian.

——

Bai Zhong was taken to the county hall.

Ding Jin and Zhong Yunhua have been waiting here for a long time.

Feng Prison Peng left it alone, and the person who interrogated him was not him, so he could probably stay out of the matter and stand aside and watch.

In this era, the court trial was not responsible for the county order, but mainly the county magistrate, or the prison officer, who were all members of the county judicial system.

After another moment, Mu Le and the inner prison gate also came, and the slightly smelly corpse was also moved to the main hall by them, and the atmosphere became more and more heavy.

"The prison gate in Changle, you tell me first, what did you see yesterday."

Zhong Yunhua said solemnly.

The prison gate tried his best to keep himself calm, and said: "Yesterday, the Bai Zhong brothers and sisters came to look for Fan Yang, but they couldn't find anyone, I told them that Fan Yang went to work in the field and didn't come back, so they left and went to the field to find someone, it just so happened that I also had something I wanted to talk to Fan Yang about, but I was old and walked slowly, and their brothers and sisters didn't know that I was following behind, but as soon as I arrived in the field, I saw ......."

He paused for a moment, looked at Bai Zhong, and said in fear: "Seeing Bai Zhong holding a knife and constantly slashing Fan Yang, I was a hundred steps away from them, and I didn't dare to save them because I was afraid, so I hurriedly went back to find the pavilion chief." ”

Qin Law has a rule that within 100 steps, if you don't see righteousness and bravery, you will be fined two sets of armor.

A set of A, more than a thousand dollars, is a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

Mu Le and the others obviously prepared lines for the prison gate, today's testimony is much smoother than yesterday's indiscriminate testimony, and this charge must be detained on Bai Zhong's head.

The prison gate said again: "I took the pavilion chief and them back to the field, and saw that Bai Zhong had already killed Fan Yang. ”

After finishing speaking, he also cried emotionally, as if his relationship with Fan Yang was very good.

Zhong Yunhua said again: "Weishui North Pavilion Chief, is this so?" ”

"The prison gate is right!"

Mu Le learned that Bai Zhong's identity was not simple, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he was not in good spirits at this time, but he forced himself to calm down: "When I first arrived, I watched Bai Zhong kill people with my own eyes. ”

"Bai Zhong, what do you say?"

Zhong Yunhua said coldly.

Bai Zhong quickly went over what they said in his mind, and asked, "There must be a reason to kill people, I want to ask the prison gate, what reason do I have to kill Fan Yang?" ”

The prison gate said angrily: "I heard that there are some soldiers who specialize in killing ordinary people to pretend to be warlike, you must be like this." ”

Bai Zhong asked again: "This is the clothes I wore yesterday, right?" ”

The inner prison door recognized it for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, this is right." ”

"The injuries on Fan Yang's corpse are very serious?"

"It's heavy, I saw with my own eyes, you cut him all over with blood, and the ground was covered in blood."

The inner prison door looked at the corpse next to him, and he was really seriously injured, and the blood was about to stain his clothes red.

"Then the problem is, I haven't changed my clothes, and there is no water for me to wash in the guest house, and even if I wash it, I may not be able to do it today."

"Fan Yang has so much blood on his body, it can be seen that the murderer is very ruthless, and there must have been blood splashing at that time."

"Why isn't there a trace of blood on my clothes, or even on my body?"

Bai Zhong opened his hand and showed his situation.

There was not even a trace of blood.

"This ...... I ......"

The inner prison door didn't know how to explain, so he peeked at Mu Le next to him, thinking that he didn't collude last night, what should he do?

Mu Le didn't expect this problem, and he was instantly upset.

The murderer had long been driven out of Yixian by him, and his blood-spattered clothes were thrown into the river, and the evidence was destroyed, but he forgot to patch the loopholes.

Bai Zhong knew that they would be like this, and continued: "Zhong Xiancheng should have read the documents about me, or is it from Xianyang?" I killed enemies on the battlefield, I killed fifty-two enemies in the first battle, and guess how many people I killed in the second battle? ”

"How much?"

Zhong Yunhua asked subconsciously.

As soon as the words came out, how could he have a feeling that the dominance of the interrogation scene was taken away by Bai Zhong.

I became very passive.

"One hundred and nine!"

Bai Zhong said lightly: "If the two officials don't believe it, go to Xianyang at any time to verify, I want war exploits, it is enough to go to the battlefield once, and I need to kill an ordinary person to pretend to be a war exploit?" You think it's right? ”

Hearing the exploits of killing one hundred and nine enemies, whether it was Ding Jin or Zhong Yunhua, they frowned at the same time, and their bodies shook slightly.

It got worse, but at this point, they couldn't turn back.

I can only do nothing and continue with it.

Anyway, they have the final say here, and when the time comes, forge documents and evidence, and do it cleanly, even if the king personally asks, he can't find a problem.

The prison gate's forehead was full of sweat, and he said nervously: "I...... I guessed everything, but I saw you kill Fan Yang. ”

Bai Zhong asked again: "You just said, seeing that I cut Fan Yang all over his body, according to the level of bleeding, how come there is not even a single trace of blood on my body?" ”

The question came back to this, and the inner prison door was hesitant, not knowing how to answer, and looked at Zhong Yunhua and them anxiously.

"You and Fan Yang have no relatives and no reason, what are you going to do with him?"

Mu Le suddenly thought of this, and didn't care whether it would work or not, he spoke out first, and accused: "You just went specifically to kill Fan Yang." ”

"Bai Zhong, why are you looking for Fan Yang!"

Ding Jin felt that this was a breakthrough in convicting Bai Zhong, and said coldly: "This must be the reason for you to kill." ”
