Chapter 20: Arrest
Is this Qiu Ruoruo?
Suave and knowledgeable, she seems to be a far cry from her current threatening appearance. Qiu Ruoruo also showed a fierce appearance, even more fierce than Yu Zhi in the Zizhu Courtyard.
Guo Songxian used to be a student of the Seeking Knowledge Academy, and it is not an ordinary person who can enter the Seeking Knowledge Academy, and being able to pass the entrance examination of the Seeking Knowledge Academy has proved Guo Songxian's strength.
It's just that there were many talents in the Qingyun test that year, including Ye Qinghuan, white jade, and many blooming flowers, all of which overshadowed Guo Songxian's demeanor.
His Majesty of Da Chu is happy. He couldn't ask for so many outstanding talents among young people. However, for Guo Songxian, and those students like him, who are more than enough, this is not a good thing.
There is Guo Songxian's name on the Qingyun list, neither high nor low, about 50 among the hundred. If it is placed in the Qingyun test in previous years, it is full of Guo Songxian's strength.
Meritocracy, above the court, there is also part of this truth. And the ranking of fifty makes it difficult for Guo Songxian, who has no background, to gain a foothold in the court.
Guo Songxian also wanted to refuse to admit it like Yu Zhi just now, but he and Qiu Ruoruo had met. Now Qiu Ruoruo is blunt, which makes it difficult for him to escape. In the end, the Five Cities Terracotta Division will still come to the door.
Guo Songxian stopped, bowed to Qiu Ruoruo with an ugly face. He didn't dare to offend Qiu Ruoruo, when he came, he saw clearly the relationship between Qiu Ruoruo and this shameful of asking the Academy, and he also misestimated that Qiu Ruoruo, who was usually gentle, also had a fierce side.
This trip to the muddy waters seems to have gone wrong.
The road is at his feet, and even if it is a cliff in front of him, he has to go down.
"Miss Qiu Family, this person kidnapped the little son of the Bai family, and he should be escorted to Shuntian Mansion to await trial. There's nothing wrong with helping to identify below. Guo Songxian explained the reason clearly, which also meant to shirk, making it clear that he was also instructed by others.
Qiu Ruoruo didn't care about this, when she did this, she had already thought of such a result, but she made people shackled without evidence, and she was unwilling, and she also had the intention of being a thief.
"Okay, now it's the Bai family in charge, and everything is buttoned to my head. Last night, the assassin who assassinated the prince of Zhao Wang was Guo Songxian, and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion didn't hurry up and escorted Guo Songxian to Lord Yin to await trial? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and the crowd around Guo Songxian also took a few steps back.
Shuntianfu also looked at Guo Songxian. After retiring from the dynasty today, after Lord Yin covered his ass and returned to Shuntian Mansion, he scolded his subordinates with his head and face, and strictly ordered that the prisoners should be arrested within three days.
Three-day ......
Even if you lose a cat in the street, it won't take more than three days to close the case.
The commotion in the streets did not last long, and Yu Zhi was wearing shackles, but he looked like he didn't care about himself.
"Since it is Shuntianfu who takes people, I will follow them back to Shuntianfu." Yu Zhi said indifferently, and then handed Qiu Ruoruo a reassuring look.
When Shuntianfu was in a hurry to arrest and was in a difficult situation, it was the person they wanted to arrest who resolved the embarrassment.
"Let's go, guys."
Yu Zhi walked ahead, and Ye Qinghuan also got out of the way.
Even such a lively event has a speed of spreading ten or ten hundreds, not only the people watching the streets and alleys followed, but also followed by many idle guys along the way.
The fact that the little prince of the Bai family ran naked at the West City Gate today is now well known, and the appearance of the culprit has also made many people wonder who has such a bear-hearted leopard guts.
Asking about the shame of the Academy, this reputation may only be known to people in the middle of Kyoto, so after this trouble, Kyoto must be famous.
Ask the shame of the academy - Yu Zhi!
Yu knew that he was escorted away, and Qiu Ruoruo was naturally going to follow, but after thinking about it, he instructed Ye Qinghuan a few words, and hurriedly ran in another direction.
The first of the Shuntian Mansion on Xuanwu Avenue in the north of the city is majestic and atmospheric, after all, it is the government in Kyoto, and it is much more magnificent than that of the prefecture and county.
"Get in." Yu Zhi's arrest quickly scolded.
The sound was so loud that Yu Zhi's eardrums hurt. He didn't mean to catch fast, he rubbed his ears with his shackled hands, and thought: "What kind of strange disease does this fast catcher have, and his voice is so loud?" ”
Sitting in the hall was Yin Mei Renyi of Shuntianfu, a middle-aged man, who looked about the same age as Qiu Yu, with a bloated body, a red face, and a small beard on his round chin. He was closing his eyes, apparently waiting for a long time and needing a rest.
There is another person in the hall, Yu Zhi knows the elder who followed Bai Li in Baiweiju, and the person who injured Ye Qinghuan - Du Ankang.
From Guo Songxian's words and Du Ankang's appearance, it is not difficult for Yu Zhi to understand the beginning and end of the matter.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency." It took several times to shout in the ear of Lord Yin of the Mansion, and it took this Meifu Yin to wake up. The catchers all knew that their Lord Yin was in a bad mood today, if it weren't for the matter of the little son of the Bai family, he just wanted to lie on the bed at this time.
"Someone brought?" Mei Renyi opened his sleepy eyes and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Following the direction of the fast finger, Mei Renyi looked at the thinly dressed young man in the hall, blinked his eyes, and then asked, "Aren't you cold when you wear this?" ”
Yu Zhi also blinked, suspecting that he had misheard, and then said, "Lord Fu Yin is asking me if I'm cold?" ”
"In this weather, although the sun is out, you always feel cold when you wear it." Mei Renyi said very seriously.
Yu Zhi heard it clearly this time, shook his head, and said, "There is something wrong with my body, so I don't feel anything about the temperature." ”
Mei Renyi answered, and then fell silent. Yu Zhi looked at this Lord Yin suspiciously, puzzled in his heart, but the other party didn't speak, he couldn't explain first.
"You sued me?" Yu Zhi looked at Du Ankang and said.
Du Ankang didn't care about Yu Zhi, he only knew that Bai Li had been missing for one night, and this morning's appearance made the Bai family a laughing stock in the whole of Kyoto. Fortunately, the assassination of the prince of Zhao is the most important thing.
It's just that how could the Bai family be so resigned?
Du Ankang came to Shuntianfu with a complaint. Because he didn't know who the murderer was, he found an unfamiliar name - Yu Zhi.
Yu knew who it was, of course he knew, just a dispensable person. Since there has been a holiday, the motive is logical, until the murderer is found, a scapegoat must be found.
Bang!
The startling wood fell, and a crisp and dull sound shook the entire mansion.
"Who's in the hall?"
The majestic voice didn't seem to be at all like Lord Fu Yin, who had just woken up.
Yu Zhi knelt down respectfully and replied respectfully, "Villain Yu Zhi." ”
"Do you know what crime you have committed?"
"The villain doesn't know."
"Bai Li, the little son of the Bai family, disappeared last night, but you did it."
"Huh? Is Bai Li missing? The villain didn't know it, and the villain heard that there was a little boy at the West City Gate early this morning, how could he say that he was missing? ”
Bang!
Yu Zhi was next to a staff behind his back, and it was the catcher. Immediately after that, a cold voice came from behind Yu Zhi, "Lord Fu Yin will answer whatever he asks." ”
Mei Renyi frowned, as if he was not satisfied with the act of catching fast, whether it was too light or too heavy was unknown.
Yu Zhi glanced at the catcher, his throat was sweet, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but his expression was extremely calm: "I should have no grudge or grudge with you." ”
Mei Renyi pretended not to see it, and continued: "Bai Li was kidnapped outside the city by someone and escaped back early in the morning. Someone in the Bai family sued and identified you as the thief. ”
The voice is lazy, if there is more warm winter sun, Mei Renyi is afraid that he will fall asleep again.
"Wronged, my lord! Wronged. ”
"Lord Fu Yin, there is no evidence, it's not that he said that I am a thief, I am, is there a royal law, is there a heavenly principle, and is there a ......"
Mei Renyi interrupted Yu Zhi's "chatter" with a startled smile, "This is naturally not ......"
"Mr. Du, tell me, what is suspicious about this, or what evidence you have, there must be some evidence that is not ......" Mei Renyi looked at Du Ankang and said.
Du Ankang has no evidence, if there is evidence, Yu Zhi is now not in Shuntian Mansion, but in the courtyard of Hubu Shangshu.
"This person has a grudge against the little boy, this is the motive. My lord, take him into custody temporarily, and a careful inquiry will naturally find evidence. ”
Mei Renyi frowned again, and his especially weak voice sounded again. "Mr. Du, this is how the case is handled, and there must be evidence before the prisoner can be sent to prison. There is no room for error. Moreover, Mr. Du, you have no evidence, and you can't be convicted of a crime based on your complaint. ”
Yu Zhi felt that this Fu Yin didn't look like an official, like a peacemaker.
"Lord Fu Yin, my subordinates feel that it is okay to take this person into custody for the time being. This person has a name called the shame of asking the Academy, and he is extremely cunning, if he is allowed to escape, Shuntianfu will not be able to explain it. The last sentence was even more light, and only Yu Zhi and Mei Renyi could hear it.
Yu Zhi glanced at the catcher again, and thought, "The face is white, no matter how you look at it, you are not a bad person." Either I had a holiday before, or I offended him in my last life. ”
"So?" Mei Renyi was like a fat old man who had no idea, hesitating, his mind couldn't turn around, "Then why don't you take it into custody temporarily?" ”
As if asking everyone's opinions, Mei Renyi's eyes fell on Yu Zhi and said, "What do you think? ”
It is instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Yu Zhi does not want to spend the night in prison.
"Lord Fu Yin, I was with Miss Qiu last night, you can send her to interrogate."
"Miss Qiujia, are you talking about Ruoruo's girl?"
"Yes. In the past few days, I have been living in Qiufu, which Qiuqiu can testify to. ”
"It turned out to be my own family, let it go." Mei Renyi said indifferently.
