Chapter 33: Suicide
"I'm here for the head of the Mu Le Pavilion."
Bai Zhong didn't hide Zhou Yu's matter, told the reason, and said: "I suspect that Pavilion Chief Mu Le used some trick to frame Zhou Shi's father, so I want to ask Fan Yang for clarification, but as soon as I arrived in the field, Fan Yang died, who does Chief Mu Le think killed him?" ”
"Nonsense, the matter between me and Zhou Yu is not what you said."
Mu Le immediately retorted: "As the pavilion chief, it is impossible for me to know the law and break the law. ”
Fan Yang is dead, and there is no direct evidence behind this incident, which has no impact on Mu Le.
Zhong Yunhua asked again: "Can someone prove that you went to Fan Yang for this matter?" ”
"Him!"
Bai Lan stepped forward from behind the eldest brother, pointed to the door of the inner prison, and said, "We will go to Fan Yang, that is, he said that the matter of the father is related to Fan Yang." ”
"I didn't!"
Of course, the prison gate denied it, and it was impossible to admit it.
"No?"
Zhong Yunhua sneered: "It's good if you don't have it, Bai Zhong, why did you kill Fan Yang?" ”
Bai Zhong frowned and said, "I don't have Fan Yang's blood on my body, Zhong Xiancheng really thinks I killed someone?" ”
"You can't give a reason, and you don't have any witnesses, you were still at the scene at the time, it wasn't you who killed, did I kill it?"
Zhong Yunhua had a cold face and said sharply: "The prison gate in Changle and the chief of the Weishui North Pavilion have all seen you kill with their own eyes, and now you still refuse to admit your guilt?" ”
Bai Zhong sneered: "I'm not guilty, how can I confess?" ”
"If I say you're guilty, you have."
Zhong Yunhua took a few shots, no longer cared about the bloodstains, and shouted: "Come on, arrest the Bai Zhong brothers and sisters, put them in the cell first, and behead them one day!" ”
No matter what reason Bai Zhong can come up with, the charge of murder cannot be escaped.
The interrogation is just a process, so that there is an official document handed over to Xianyang, and when the time comes, everyone is dead, they make up the documents and evidence at will, and the people present are their own people.
The county magistrates of Yi County are incompetent, they only know how to have fun, and they are basically responsible for political affairs, so they can cope with the past.
This case has been decided.
Bai Zhong saw that several jailers were going to come over to arrest him, and immediately grabbed his sister's hand, it was impossible to arrest him, and when he was about to do it, a person outside broke in.
"Two officials, it's not good!"
"Someone's going to break in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gao's angry voice came in from outside.
"Get out of here!"
Zhao Gao was in the dust, and the fifty people he brought with him immediately controlled the jailers here.
"Who are you?"
Ding Jin asked.
Zhao Gao didn't bother to respond, his eyes swept over, and asked, "Who is Bai Zhong, the hundred generals?" ”
"I'm here!"
Bai Zhong said.
"Bai Zhong, a hundred generals, take over the edict of the king!"
Zhao Gao secretly thought that he had finally found someone, and took out a wooden slip from his arms, in addition to tying and fixing the upper and lower pieces of the wooden slip with a thin rope, where the rope was knotted, there was also a layer of red sealing mud, which was printed with a special seal.
This is the style of an official instrument.
When Ding Jin and the others heard that it was the king's edict, and when they saw the wooden slip again, they "chuckled" in their hearts and shouted that they were going to be finished.
How could Wang Zhao be sent here at this time.
Bai Zhong fortunately didn't make a move, came to Zhao Gao, and bowed his hand slightly.
Zhao Gao read out: "Bai Zhong, a hundred generals, broke the battle of Chili, killed one hundred and nine enemies, beheaded Zhao Yuan, the chief general of the Zhao army, and after the defeat of Feicheng, he broke through the siege and rewarded the tenth rank of the left chief, and went to Xianyang to receive the reward. ”
"Thank you, Captain!"
Bai Zhong acted again: "I also want to go to Xianyang, but some people say that I killed people and want to take us down to be executed, but I am afraid that I will not be able to go to Xianyang." ”
"Who dares to frame General Baibai!"
Zhao Gao looked up at Ding Jin and the others.
The current Zhao Gao, although he is not yet at the point of high power, often follows Ying Zheng's side, and that momentum is not something that ordinary people can bear.
The moment the people present heard Wang Zhao, they could guess whether Zhao Gao was from Xianyang or someone from the king's side, and they all trembled under this questioning.
Only Bai Lan's eyes were shining, and she was happily holding her eldest brother's arm.
"It turns out that the eldest brother is so powerful."
"Silly girl, we're fine."
Bai Zhong pinched her pretty face, waiting to watch a good show.
"It's none of my business, it's the pavilion chief who is looking for someone to kill."
The inner prison door couldn't withstand the pressure at first, sat on the ground with weak legs, and said indiscriminately: "They asked me to frame Bai Zhong, I am innocent, and the county lieutenant forced me to give false testimony." ”
"You ......"
Ding Jin and the others still wanted to struggle, trying to use evidence to suppress this matter, but they didn't expect the prison gate to betray everyone first.
Zhao Gao sneered: "In a small Yi County, there are officials who dare to be so presumptuous, it seems that Qin Law is not strict enough, where is the county order?" Let him roll over to me. ”
One of the jailers who was present hurried to the back of the main hall to find their prefectural order.
Ding Jin and the others stood aside tremblingly, regretting their mistakes.
"Bai Baijiang rest assured, with me today, see who can frame you."
Zhao Gao was also a little selfish, knowing that Bai Zhong had already been appreciated by the king, and he had a good relationship in advance.
"There's a worker!"
Bai Zhong said politely, and was about to continue watching the play, when a person suddenly walked in outside the main hall.
"Hakuzhong ......"
Zhou Shi hurriedly came in and was stunned when he saw the chaos in the main hall.
What's really going on here?
"Father, why are you here?"
Bai Zhong asked suspiciously.
"Yu'er...... Suicide! ”
Zhou Shi was powerless.
Zhou Yu committed suicide, and the first person he thought of was Bai Zhong.
"What? This officer, I have to go back beforehand. ”
Bai Zhong didn't wait for Zhao Gao's response, and walked outside eagerly.
Zhao Gao said: "Bai Bai will go if he has something!" I'll take care of it here. ”
He ran around, in fact, he also held his breath, just had the opportunity to vent, and shouted angrily: "Take down these people, I will interrogate them personally, who dares not to tell the truth, I have the means, so that your life is worse than death." ”
The prison door was dark, and he fainted on the spot.
Mu Le was stupid, but he didn't know where the courage came from, so he turned around and wanted to run outside, trying to escape.
The guards who could follow and protect Zhao Gao were not ordinary people, seeing that Mu Le was about to escape, he kicked the person back with one kick, and stumbled so much that his head was bleeding.
Ding Jin and Zhong Yunhua sat weakly on the ground, understanding that their lives were coming to an end.
——
Changle Li.
Bai Zhong came to Zhou Shi's house, only to see several people surrounded here, and Zhou Yu lying flat on the couch.
There was also a priest, standing helplessly in place.
Fang Shi is the title of a doctor in this era.
The Bai Zhong brothers and sisters walked over quickly, only to see a short knife stuck in Zhou Yu's stomach, and the blood stained his clothes red, and the Fang Shi had no way to save people, and he didn't even dare to pull out the knife.
Because of his own affairs, Bai Zhong was wrongly accused of becoming a murderer, Zhou Yu's heart was very uncomfortable, I am very sorry for Bai Zhong's brothers and sisters, maybe he died, all this should be over, and his father will be fine.
So she didn't care about anything, and wanted to commit suicide to atone for her sins, and she also thought that Bai Zhong was wrongfully murdered and should not survive, so she wanted to follow Bai Zhong together.
"Yu'er!"
Bai Lan grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and shouted in tears.
Bai Zhong's hand trembled slightly, and he touched the artery in Zhou Yu's neck......
