Oh?

As soon as Xu Zhen said this, the scene suddenly fell silent.

"What...... What do you mean? Chen Tiefeng wondered, "Didn't Qiu Ba do it?" Are you kidding? Xu Zhen, aren't you crazy? ”

However, when he saw that Song Xianling, Chen Xiancheng and Cheng Xiao all had solemn faces, he realized that the situation was not right and quickly shut up.

"Human instinct doesn't lie," Xu Zhen said the basis for his inference, "Yesterday, after Qiu Batian found out that he had arrived at the Yamen, he always thought that we were arranging him!" Later, I found out that the old man was dead, but he still wanted us to give him an explanation?

"Just imagine, if the case was done by him, how could there be such a reaction?"

"This ......," the experienced Chen Xiancheng grinned, "is it...... Don't you have some exact credentials? I'm afraid it's hard to be sure! ”

It seems that yesterday Song County Ling had told Chen Xiancheng about Xu Zhen's speculation.

After all, Chen Xiancheng has not retired yet, if it is really a political struggle, then Chen Xiancheng will inevitably be involved.

So, Xu Zhen told the coachman what he asked, saying that the coachman could prove that the carriage had not left the Drunken Immortal Residence at all yesterday morning.

Then, he told the story of the two women in the teaching workshop, proving that Qiu Batian was with them that night.

After listening, the two adults fell into deep thought again, both pondering the reliability of the evidence.

Clearly, the two were still hesitant.

"Lord Song," at this time, Chen Xiancheng stroked his gray beard and said, "This case is related to the future and destiny of you and me, and this is the end of old decay, but you can't miss your future because of this!" ”

This Chen Houlu is also an old fritter, and one sentence not only brings their relationship closer, but also puts the responsibility on the other party.

Song Zhili smiled helplessly, saying that he was also very entangled.

"That fellow villager of Li Laohan has gone to the county government to complain," Chen Xiancheng said again, "Now you can't stop it, you have to make a decision early!" Once the people come down from above, then we won't have a choice, you say...... This person...... To catch or not to catch? ”

"This ......"

Song Zhili was in a dilemma, he understood what Chen Xiancheng meant, if this case was really not Qiu Batian's doing, it was very likely to be a political struggle, and he had to stand in line as soon as possible.

either prove Qiu Batian's innocence and stand on the side of the servants; Either arrest Qiu Batian and stand on the murderer's side.

However, he had too many concerns:

Is the case Qiu Batian's doing?

Who will be the force that framed Qiu Batian?

How can we prove the innocence of Qiu Batian and Yamen?

How can I not get on the wrong side......

"Lord Song," seeing Song Zhili's hesitation, Xu Zhen waved his hand at him and signaled, "Please take a step to speak!" ”

"Oh?" Song Zhili looked at Xu Zhen, his face was full of suspicion, and he didn't move.

"I'm ...... here," Xu Zhen explained, "there is solid evidence!" ”

What!?

Everyone was surprised, and just wanted to ask, but saw that Song Zhili had already gone to the door with Xu Zhen.

Next, they could see that Xu Zhen approached Song Zhili's ear, not knowing what to say to Song Zhili.

And after he only said a few words, he saw Song Zhili's face change greatly!

It didn't take long for Xu Zhen to finish speaking, but Song Zhili fell into a long contemplation.

After thinking for a while, he returned to the inner hall with a heavy heart, while Xu Zhen stayed outside and did not come in.

"What's the matter, Lord Song," Chen Houlu asked anxiously, "What did Xiao Yu tell you?" ”

Song Zhili didn't answer, but pondered for a moment before making a gesture at Chen Tiefeng.

Chen Tiefeng comprehended, quickly closed the door, and plugged in the latch.

"My lord," Cheng Xiao asked hurriedly, "What did Xu Zhen say?" Does he really have any evidence? ”

"Hmm......" Song Zhili glanced at everyone, and then said solemnly, "You all listen to me, there are only four of us in this room, and not half a word of what we will discuss next cannot be leaked out!" Otherwise, lives may not be saved!! ”

Yes?

Chen Houlu and the three of them shuddered in unison, and they all realized the seriousness of the situation.

"My lord," Cheng Xiao and Chen Tiefeng hurriedly said, "I don't dare to talk nonsense!" ”

"Well," Song Zhili nodded slightly, and after confirming his eyes with Chen Houlu, he said quietly, "Xu Zhen told me just now that he went to the burned Li Laohan's house last night to dig up that woman's body!"

"But what he dug up was a corpse that had been burned by fire but had been decomposing for a long time!"

"Huh?"

Everyone gasped and quickly thought about what this event meant.

"It's actually fake," Chen Houlu opened his mouth wide, "that is...... Li Laohan's daughter may not be dead!? ”

"Xu Zhen said," Song Zhili continued, "due to the severe damage, he only dug up part of the body, but he can be sure that the deceased is definitely not Li Laohan's daughter." Possibly, just a random corpse dug up from a grave. ”

"So......" Cheng Xiao thought of something and said, "This case ...... Is it really planted? ”

"Huh? No way? Chen Tiefeng was shocked and grinned.

"That's right," Song Zhili nodded, "If it was all Qiu Batian's doing, he wouldn't have been able to save that woman's life!" ”

"But ......," Chen Houlu asked, "if someone really planted it, it seems that the woman's life should not be spared, right?" Why, replace it with a dead body? ”

"I don't know," Song Zhili shook his head, "That woman should be hidden by the murderer, and at the critical moment, she may appear as an important witness to identify Qiu Batian; Maybe it will never appear, so that everyone in the world thinks that Qiu Batian is killing people and setting fire to destroy the corpses! ”

"Gollum ......" Chen Tiefeng swallowed and said in fear, "I don't understand, who is going to frame Qiu Batian?" Can this be done? ”

"Lao Chen," Cheng Xiao reminded in a low voice, "This matter may not be aimed at Qiu Batian!" ”

"Huh? No...... Not Qiu Batian? Who's that? Chen Tiefeng was confused for a few seconds, and then he finally figured it out, and Deng Shi was stunned, "No...... It can't be the one, right? ”

"Li Laohan died in the Yamen, alas, ......" At this time, Chen Houlu sighed, "This is obviously to drag us into the water!" ”

"Yes," Song Zhili nodded, "colluding with the yamen to kill people, the crime and influence will be greater, the other party is really not good!" ”

Realizing that this case might be a political struggle, Chen Tiefeng no longer dared to intervene, and honestly stood next to Cheng Xiao, silent.

"Lord Song," Chen Houlu asked, "then what are your plans?" ”

The topic is back to square one, which side should they be on?

Qiu Batian...... To catch or not to catch?

"The matter...... Don't be in a hurry! At the critical moment, Song Zhili calmed down and said, "There should still be some time before the county government comes, and we must be prepared."

"Cheng Zhutou," he said to Cheng Xiao, "you and Tie Feng go to verify what Xu Zhen said, and find a relationship to ask Qiu Batian's coachman, his subordinates, and the two courtesans in the Jiaofang Division, we can't just listen to him." ”

"Yes!" The two hurriedly agreed.

"And the corpse that Xu Zhen said," Song Zhili said again, "I have to confirm it myself to make sure that it is correct." ”

"Yes!"

"Also," Song Zhili continued to instruct, "The case can't be stopped, hurry up and find out the truth, we must at least know how Li Laohan died!" ”

"Yes," Cheng Xiao clenched his fists, "the lowly duty is being done!" ”

"Also," Song Zhili thought of something again, and said, "I want to send a trustworthy person to the county government to inquire about the news, and once I find something, I will report it quickly!" ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Cheng Xiao nodded.

"By the way," Chen Houlu admonished at this time, "You two must remember that you must not let others know that this case was not done by Qiu Batian!" ”

"Understood, understood!" Cheng Xiao and Chen Tiefeng nodded again and again.

"Lord Song," Chen Houlu said again, "You have so many classmates and old friends, you can revise the book with them as soon as possible, ask for information about the DPRK and China, and grasp the trend in advance!" ”

"Hmm." Song Zhili nodded, in fact, he didn't need Chen Houlu to remind him, he also knew that he had to use his relationship.

He was born as a Jinshi, so he naturally has some connections in the court. If you can find out who is targeting the servant of the ministry, it will naturally be convenient for him to follow up.

Next, Song Zhili walked up to Cheng Xiao, pressed Cheng Xiao's shoulder, and said, "Cheng Zhutou bother!" ”

"Don't dare!" Cheng Xiao was flattered and hurriedly hugged his fists, "It's all a matter of humble duty!" ”

"But ......" Song Zhili really had something to say later, and said in Cheng Xiao's ear, "In addition to doing these things well, you also have to think of one thing for the official." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Xiao hurriedly said, "My lord, please speak!" ”

"Once the news is confirmed," Song Zhili said through gritted teeth, "you have to think about it in advance...... How can we arrest Qiu Batian!? ”
