Chapter 455: Equal

As soon as the words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and everyone was ready to investigate this matter without evidence, but they didn't expect that this time they were actually hammered by the two stalls!

Without waiting for Xiao Feng to ask, Jiajing had already spoken: "When Zhang Yuan said this, were you two the only ones there?" "Jiajing's meaning is obvious, if there are only the two of you, then it is very likely that you two were bought by Yan Shifan!

Frame my junior brother! The heads of the two stalls shook like rattles, and both brought out the sound of breaking wind.

"No, no, long live, when the factory boss ordered the officials, there were at least thirty subordinates in the East Factory present, and the two of us would never dare to talk nonsense and bully the king!" Jiajing's face was very ugly, and more than thirty subordinates were present, which was impossible to say that Yan Shifan had bought everyone.

The people of Dongchang are similar to the people of Jinyiwei, they may fight for power and profit, and they may do things that disregard people's lives and lose their conscience.

But they're all loyal! It's okay to buy one or two people, but if you want to buy more than 30 people from Dongchang, including the big stall head and the second stall head, then you can almost rebel directly.

This is just like when Yan Shifan was sued by Xiao Feng before, as soon as Yan Shifan heard that there were more than a dozen criminal arresters and five brocade guards at the scene, he directly gave up accusing Xiao Feng of bribery and perjury.

It's so difficult, it's almost impossible. In other words, it's definitely true, and you can only think about how to explain it.

Yan Shifan: This is almost a tooth for a tooth. Everyone's eyes looked at Xiao Feng, waiting to see how he explained.

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and said, "The two stall heads, when Zhang Changgong and you ordered this, were there any other people around him?" The head of the stall hesitated for a moment and nodded: "He has two people from Dongchang with him, but he ......" Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "However, you think it's very raw, I haven't seen it much, right?" The big stall head looked at Xiao Feng in surprise: "Yes, it's a bit raw." However, Dongchang suppressed bandits outside the city some time ago, and many brothers died, and some new people were added, and it was normal that I was not familiar with them. Xiao Feng shook his head: "If you are an ordinary Dongchang person, it is indeed normal to be unfamiliar with newcomers. But you are the head of the stall, except for Zhang Yuan, you are the one in the East Factory. Which new fan, I have to report it to you. Even if you're not familiar with it, you should be a little familiar, but you don't recognize it at all, do you? The big stall looked at Yan Shifan, and said in his heart that Zhang Changgong just asked us to listen to your dispatch last night, but he didn't say that he wanted to help you bully the king, so he couldn't do it.

"Lord Xiao is like a god, I really don't have any impression of these two people, and I also felt very strange at the time." Yan Shifan suddenly said: "The fan around Zhang Yuan is a newcomer and an old man, whether the big stall head knows him or not, what does it have to do with this matter?" Zhang Yuan asked Dongchang to go to the Criminal Department to stop you from robbing the prison and saving people, and indeed arrested you, Yu Dayou and others, this is a fact, do you dare to deny it? Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "These two people are the key." Lord Lu, you just said that Zhang Changgong was kidnapped by anti-thieves last night, did he appear near the palace? Lu Bing nodded: "It did appear near the palace, and the guards and forbidden army had already surrounded the anti-thieves, but the anti-thieves still had some people left. They threw some gunpowder smoke at the crowd, and a few anti-thieves with strong martial arts took advantage of the chaos to rush out, and Zhang Changgong was killed at that time. Xiao Feng nodded: "Zhang Changgong is loyal to Long live, everyone knows it." If he was only abducted and coerced, how could he watch the anti-thieves act and not fight desperately? It's not as simple as hijacking, but being controlled by someone with Gu magic and losing your mind, so it makes sense. Yan Shifan's heart sank, he thought that the chain of evidence in this matter was complete and ironclad, but he didn't expect Xiao Feng to really think of this.

He said coldly.

"Zhang Yuan's martial arts are not low, is it so easy to control Zhang Yuan with Gu techniques? Besides, shouldn't the person in the center Gu be poisoned to death? Why did the White Lotus Sect draw snakes and kill Zhang Yuan? You're clearly trying to get away with it, whimsical! Xiao Feng turned to Jiajing: "Senior brother, Wang Yingxiang was controlled by Heart Gu, and the poisoning in Xiao Mansion is vivid. Since the thief is the White Lotus Sect this time, the White Lotus Sect and Miao Jiang have always had close contacts, and it is inconceivable to control Zhang Yuan with Miao Jiang's heart Gu? As for clawing and cutting throat, who knows that he is not a person from the White Lotus Sect, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, he doesn't want people to see that Zhang Yuan died of the poison of the Heart Gu? "To tell you the truth, after being hammered by the two stalls just now, Jiajing already believed in his heart that Xiao Feng's prison robbery was true, because it was too in line with Xiao Feng's character.

Although Rouge Leopard has a bad reputation and is not a good person, after all, she helped Xiao Feng a lot in the court and really hammered Yan Shifan's crimes.

If the rouge leopard denies it, no matter how strong Xiao Feng's reasoning is, it is always reasonable doubt, and there is not much real evidence.

It was the backstab of the rouge leopard that made Yan Shifan's argument irrefutable. So if Xiao Feng predicted that the rouge leopard might die in prison, or even be tortured to death, then he might really go to save the rouge leopard.

Therefore, Jiajing thinks he has the truth: that is, what these two people say is actually true. Yan Shifan will repay this point, Jiajing absolutely believes this, so Yan Shifan must have the possibility of going to prison to torture the rouge leopard.

Xiao Feng predicted that Yan Shifan would go to the prison to torture the Rouge Leopard, out of guilt for the Rouge Leopard, so he planned to rob the prison in advance to save people!

Then Yan Shifan predicted that Xiao Feng planned to rob the prison to save people, so he found Zhang Yuan and asked to work together to arrest Xiao Feng and take revenge.

It is normal for Zhang Yuan to cooperate with Yan Shifan in this matter. Yan Shifan lost his official position, and he could no longer command the personnel of any department, so he had to rely on Zhang Yuan.

The relationship between Zhang Yuan and Xiao Feng has always been bad, especially after the Baihualou incident, the two tore their faces, and the degree of hatred was no less than that of Xiao Feng and Yan Shifan.

So the two hit it off. So they predicted each other for a long time, and in the end, the two of them were nothing more than who made the first move.

Did Yan Shifan run to the prison first to torture the rouge leopard, or did Xiao Feng rob the prison first to save people? Whoever does it first is guilty!

Judging from Lu Bing's report, Xiao Feng was blocked in prison, Yu Dayou and Zhan Feiyun were blocked in the courtyard, and it seemed that Xiao Feng should have made the first move.

So in this matter, the junior brother is at a loss, and in full view of everyone, Jiajing doesn't know how to blow a whistle in order to get Xiao Feng out of trouble.

Just like Wang Jue's little thing Jiajing didn't pay attention to, Xiao Feng didn't care about the Rouge Leopard's attempt.

Isn't it an attempt anyway? Attempts are not a big deal. But there has to be a reasonable way to put it...... Now Xiao Feng's theory of heart Gu control made Jiajing's eyes light up, yes, this statement must be very reasonable!

What Xiao Feng said is indeed reasonable. Zhang Yuanzhi's loyalty, I have always known it. If he had not been controlled by sorcery, how would he have allowed the traitor to assassinate without shouting? Yan Shifan still wanted to work harder: "Long live, even if Zhang Yuan was controlled at that time, but what he explained about Dongchang was true." Xiao Feng and his people are indeed going to attack the Criminal Department, if it weren't for the ambush in advance in Dongchang, I'm afraid that the rouge leopard would be rescued. In order to rob the prison, Xiao Feng also created chaos, opened the cell and released the prisoners, causing a riot of the prisoners, and many people died. All the prisoners in the prison can testify about this! Jiajing frowned and looked at Lu Bing, who described the situation very objectively.

"After the ministers exterminated the palace assassins, they learned that the two palaces, the Yan Mansion and the Xiao Mansion had been attacked. Therefore, the minister ran around with the forbidden army and the brocade guard, and was relieved to confirm that the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had arrived. At this time, someone reported that someone in the Criminal Department was fighting, and the minister thought that it was a thief attacking the Criminal Department, so he hurriedly arrived with people, but saw that it was Yu Dayou and Zhan Feiyun who were fighting with the people in Dongchang. The minister hurriedly stopped them, and then heard the sound of muskets coming from inside the cell. The ministers led people to rush into the prison and found that Xiao Feng was injured all over his body, and the prison was full of dead bodies. Judging by the situation, it should be that Xiao Feng had a fierce battle with Dongchang, as for who the prisoners helped and who killed, it was not obvious at that time. Yan Shifan was caught by the Rouge Tiger...... This one...... Critical, that's why the original fierce battle stopped. Because Banzai has already decreed that there will be a small court meeting today, so the ministers made their own opinions, let them go home first, and the court meeting will try the matter again this morning. Jiajing nodded, and expressed satisfaction with Lu Bing's treatment: "What about those prisoners, have you asked?" Lu Bing nodded and pointed to the cell head standing at the bottom of the table: "The cell head and the two guards are all the same as the prisoners who are still alive in the prison. It is said that Xiao Feng broke into the prison and killed people, and Yan Shifan brought people to stop him. Several prisoners were tortured, and they did not change their confessions. Jiajing's brows furrowed even tighter: "Xiao Feng, what do you explain about this?" Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "Lord Lu, have you checked who the dead prisoners are and who the living prisoners are?" Lu Bing was stunned: "This ...... I haven't looked it up, but does it matter? Xiao Feng nodded: "If my expectations are correct, except for a few prisoners who besieged me at that time and died under my embroidered spring knife, all the other dead prisoners are light criminals." And those who are still alive and can testify in all their mouths are felons and even death row prisoners. Whether this is the case or not, Lord Lu will know as soon as he checks it. Lu Bing nodded, and immediately a brocade guard rushed out, and soon ran back with a roster of prisoners from the prison of the Criminal Department and handed it to Lu Bing.

Lu Bing looked at the death mark outlined on it, and looked at Xiao Feng in surprise: "It's indeed as you said, why is this?" Xiao Feng smiled: "Not only that, but at that time, only I was in the prison with an embroidered spring knife, and the edge of the embroidered spring knife was slightly different from other knife edges, and it was not difficult for this brocade guard to check." Please check whether the prisoners I hacked to death at that time were all felons or death row prisoners. After some inspection, Lu Bing was even more surprised, nodded to Jiajing, and signaled that what Xiao Feng said was all in the middle, which was really amazing.

Jiajing couldn't help but speak: "Xiao Feng, why is this?" Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "It's very simple, since Yan Gongzi predicted that I would go to the prison, and he wanted to take the opportunity to kill me, he naturally needed a witness afterwards." But I was killed in the prison, this matter is not small, I think I won't let it go easily, and I will definitely let Lord Lu investigate it strictly. Yan Gongzi can buy off those felons and death row prisoners, because they have no way to live, Yan Gongzi gives them a chance, and they will naturally not let it go. But the light criminals can't commit it, they could have been released from prison soon, so naturally there is no need to accept torture and commit the crime of bullying the king in order to help Yan Gongzi. In the final analysis, although gold and silver are good, life is more important. Even if those light criminals promised to help Yan Gongzi, with Yan Gongzi's caution and viciousness, they would not risk it on them, of course, it was the safest to kill them. That's why the people who are still alive to testify in prison are those who have been sentenced to death. And the prisoners I hacked to death wanted to help Yan Gongzi kill me, and it is conceivable that they must also be sentenced to death. Yan Shifan said coldly: "Lord Xiao, you are so clever and eloquent, you can really argue three points if you are unreasonable." You open the cell door and cause a prisoner riot, and those who are sentenced to death are the most vicious criminals, and they are naturally vicious. Most of the people who are lightly punished are ordinary people, and they are worried about adding to the crime of murder, so they hesitate to do so, so they are naturally more likely to be killed. This is the principle of nature, but it is ridiculous that you slander me! Xiao Feng said coldly: "Speaking of witnesses, I also have witnesses. Yan Shifan was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, at that time, the entire cell was full of his own people, and Xiao Feng only had one single.

Not to mention that Rouge Tiger is dead, even if she is not dead, her words cannot be used as testimony. Xiao Feng wants to rob the prison to save her, can her words be objective and fair?

Lu Bing was also very strange: "Xiao Feng, who is the witness you are talking about, you can naturally summon the court to confront him." Xiao Feng said coldly: "My witness is the rouge leopard." Lu Bing was stunned: "Xiao Feng, rouge leopard...... It's dead, didn't you know it last night? Xiao Feng said coldly: "Whoever said that the dead can't testify." Lord Lu, have you examined the body of the rouge leopard, how did she die? Lu Bing nodded: "It's been checked, the rouge leopard was hit in the chest, the force was great, the ribs were broken, and the five organs were injured, which was a fatal injury." His waist was pierced diagonally by a musket bullet, and he lost a lot of blood. A short knife in the shoulder, this is not a fatal wound. Xiao Feng said coldly: "Lord Lu, I'm afraid that the person who performed the autopsy still missed an item." Rouge Leopard was hit by sweat medicine! Otherwise, with her kung fu, how could she be easily seriously injured? Lu Bing was taken aback: "Is there such a thing?" Sweat medicine is not a poison and requires a blood test with a special drug to detect it. If you don't know in advance, it's easy to slip through. Fortunately, after death, the blood is clotted, the medicinal properties are not dispersed, and it can still be detected within three days. Come on, immediately examine the carcass of the rouge leopard! The body of the rouge tiger was lying outside the hall, covered by Xiao Feng's white robe.

Of the people in the hall, none of them said that she was actually a rouge tiger, because that meant nothing to Jiajing.

Whether it was the Rouge Leopard or the Rouge Tiger who died had no effect on all the incidents, and Yan Shifan had no evidence to prove which one she was, so he didn't even mention it.

After careful inspection, Jin Yiwei returned to the hall and replied loudly: "My lord, it is true that as Lord Xiao said, there is sweat medicine in the blood of the rouge leopard, and the concentration is extremely high. Everyone's eyes looked at Yan Shifan, and Xiao Feng sneered: "Yan Gongzi, you said that I was going to rob the prison to save the rouge leopard, so who gave this sweat medicine?" It's not like I'm going to save the Rouge Leopard, but the Rouge Leopard has feelings for the prison of the Criminal Department, and refuses to leave, so I have to charm her, right? "This is an extremely powerful attack, if Yan Shifan can't justify himself, everything he said before will be wiped out.

Everyone felt that Yan Shifan had no other way than to deny it desperately. Yan Shifan pondered for a moment, and then admitted calmly: "I see, after Zhang Yuan learned the news that you were going to rob the prison and save people, he told me because he still had to protect Long live." He also said that he would mobilize the people of the East Factory and hand them over to me for temporary command. You also know that I have difficulty moving, so I will first send a servant to report to the head of the prison and ask him to take precautions. I think it was because the cell boss was worried that I wouldn't be able to lead the East Factory to arrive in time, and that you would rob the prison in advance, so he drugged the rouge leopard. In this way, even if you want to rob the prison, it is much more difficult to rescue an unconscious rouge leopard than to rescue a rouge leopard who can fight and kill. The cell boss nodded again and again: "That's right, after I received the report from Yan Gongzi, I drugged the water and gave it to the rouge leopard to drink." It's just that she didn't expect that Rouge Leopard's skills were profound, and the sweat medicine failed to charm her, so that she had the opportunity to commit murder and kidnap Yan Gongzi later! The on-site confession of these two people, singing and harmonizing, was so close that not only did everyone think it was reasonable, but even Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Yan Shifan, you are worthy of being a ghost in the world, and you are worthy of a generation of heroes. You're getting shorter and you're getting stronger. Once, I also thought about leaving you to Xu Jie, leaving you to Gao Gong, and letting them get rid of you like the history of the past.

But not now, I can't wait. Because you have become stronger than in history, and this change is precisely because I forced you, so I must bear this responsibility.

Now the scene has entered a stalemate, with both sides arguing on their own words, but neither has any substantial evidence. Yan Shifan has more witnesses here, but the survivors pointed out by Xiao Feng are all death row prisoners, which successfully aroused everyone's doubts, and the effectiveness of the witnesses was naturally greatly reduced.

Although Xiao Feng has few witnesses, only a dead rouge leopard, his statement is reasonable, but Yan Shifan's explanation is equally reasonable.

In this way, the situation has returned to the familiar scene again: Xiao Yan competed, and in the end, it was up to the referee Jiajing to save his heart.

Jiajing sighed, he really felt too tired, he was an emperor, not a detective. Such a brain-burning thing, not to mention that he is annoying to listen to, even if it is written in the future, it is estimated that it will not attract readers.

But as the ultimate referee, the whistle still has to be blown, and it is not surprising that the blowing method is not at all, that is, since there is no substantive evidence, let's be with the mud.

"In the case of the Heavenly Prison, Yan Shifan and Xiao Feng both had inappropriateness."
