This couldn't help but Su Shi didn't think so, because Su Zhou's expression was full of frustration, if it was just Zhao Liang committing suicide, he wouldn't be like this.

However, although Su Zhou looked a little depressed, he still shook his head.

"He's still alive and he's being held in prison."

Su Shi was puzzled: "In that case, why do you have such an expression?" ”

"Because Du Ziqi only shouted injustice in prison, and denied all the accusations."

Su Shi said strangely: "Isn't this normal?" Just a crime of bullying the king is enough to kill the head, if you add another misplot, I'm afraid that you will destroy the door, right? For such a serious crime, do you expect him to confess his guilt as soon as he enters prison? ”

"So you don't need to rush." Su Shi smiled: "Because you have time." I believe that with the method of interrogating prisoners in prison, it will not be long before he confesses. ”

Who knew that Su Zhou smiled bitterly: "First, we don't have much time. ”

Su Shi was taken aback when he heard this: "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Majesty has given us only twelve hours. If the evidence of Du Ziqi's guilt cannot be produced within twelve hours, he must be released. ”

Su Shi looked at him with a dull expression and asked, "Why?" ”

"Because Du Ziqi is also a fourth-grade official of the imperial court." Su Zhou sighed: "Our arrest of him is just our own speculation, and there is no real evidence. Detaining a fourth-grade official for a long time without solid evidence will inevitably provoke criticism, so His Majesty set this deadline. ”

Su Shi touched his nose and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty is still very fair and just." ”

Then he asked, "What about the second?" ”

"No execution. Since there is no evidence, His Majesty has an order not to bend into a trick. ”

Su Shi couldn't help but rub his forehead again, and sighed: "Your Majesty is not only fair and just, but also very benevolent. ”

It's just like this, even Su Shi has nothing to do.

Because all this is just Su Shi's inference, so many years have passed since the haunting of the Red Plum Pavilion, where can I find any empirical evidence?

And Cui Peng's death, no matter how you look at it, is an accident, if Zhao Liang is still alive, he may be able to testify against Du Ziqi, but as soon as Zhao Liang dies, the whole thing will be dead without proof.

Su Shi covered his face with his hands and rubbed his cheeks vigorously, but even though his cheeks were rubbed red, he still didn't come up with any way.

"Can you relate to my feelings now?" Su Shi smiled bitterly.

Knowing that the person in front of him is the initiator, but there is nothing he can do, no matter who encounters this kind of thing, the mentality is already very strong if it does not collapse.

"How much time do we have left?" Su Shi exhaled slowly and asked silently.

"Less than ten hours."

"Where's the Edict?"

"The Imperial Palace."

Su Shi said again: "I want to see Du Ziqi." ”

"Good."

"What does it mean to be good?"

Su Zhou stood up and said, "We can enter the palace now." ”

Su Shi was stunned instead: "Don't you need a request?" ”

At this time, Su Zhou took out a token from his arms, smiled, and said, "The princess has already asked for a decree, just waiting for you to enter the palace." ”

Seeing Su Zhou's expectant look, Su Shi couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him.

"Actually, I can't think of anything right now, so don't expect too much. I'm really afraid that the higher your expectations, the greater your disappointment. ”

This is not the first time Su Jin has entered the palace, but when Su Shi entered the palace before, it was crowded with tourists.

The city walls and palaces that have not changed for thousands of years just made Su Shi feel the vicissitudes of historical changes.

But this time when he entered the palace, he felt the majesty, magnificence, emptiness, and solemnity of the palace.

The people who walk in the palace are always cautious and hurried, and the eyes of people are full of vigilance and defensiveness.

Because in the palace, everyone is likely to disappear without a trace because they have gone the wrong way and said the wrong thing.

Su Shi didn't like this feeling very much, and he suddenly missed the time when he could speak loudly and laugh in the palace.

Although at that time, the whole person was almost squeezed and deformed by the surging crowd.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Su Shi didn't know how many roads he walked and how many bends he made before he came to the edict.

If the palace gives people the feeling of grandeur and solemnity, then the feeling of the edict to Su Shi is cold and solemn.

It is now the twilight of spring, and the temperature is gradually rising, and Su Shi has been walking in a hurry just now, and his forehead is already sweating slightly.

But before he entered the edict, a chill suddenly rose from Su Shi's back.

Su let out a long breath and followed the jailer inside.

After entering the edict, Su Shi did not rush to see Du Ziqi, but met Zhou Jin.

However, when he saw Zhou Jin, his eyes widened, as if he didn't know him.

Because at this time, Zhou Jin's expression was even more haggard than when she left the General's Mansion. And the reason why she is so haggard is not only because she didn't sleep all night last night, but more importantly, she is helpless now.

Su Shi sighed: "If I were you, I would have been lying on the bed desperately at this time. ”

Although Zhou Jin's expression is a little sluggish now, her eyes are still so stubborn, and she is in a bad mood now.

She said coldly: "You are not me, so you will not understand my feelings." ”

Su Shi naturally didn't bother with her, just smiled and said, "Although I can't empathize, I know that if I want to defeat the other party, I must at least outlive the other party." As long as a person falls, no matter how strong he was before, he will only be trampled under his feet in the end. ”

Zhou Jin took a deep breath and finally calmed down, and his face began to have blood.

"What now?"

"Now it's time for you to get some rest, maybe things will turn around when you get some sleep."

Zhou Jin looked at him in surprise: "You have already thought of a way?" ”

Su Shi shook his head: "No." ”

Seeing that Zhou Jin was about to fall into the abyss of disappointment again, Su Shi said with a smile: "Although I haven't thought of a way for Du Ziqi yet, it doesn't mean that there is nothing to be done about this matter. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jin and Su Zhou seemed to see their favorite baby, and their eyes stared at him.

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Actually, I have already told you, now it is like playing chess with the other party, if the opponent's chess pieces do not move, you will never find the opponent's loopholes." But as long as the opponent moves the chess pieces, no matter how complete the layout is, there will be flaws. ”

"Actually, they don't need to kill Cui Peng at all, because even if we arrest Cui Peng, there is no evidence to prove it."

Su Zhou couldn't help but say: "But now that Zhao Liang is dead, we don't have any evidence to prove that Du Ziqi has anything to do with this matter." ”

"Except for Du Ziqi?"

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Su Shi had no choice but to explain: "Although Zhao Liang is dead, some clues can still be found out from him, and since you have a traitor under you, I believe it is not difficult to find out, as long as the traitor is found, I believe that many things can be found out from them." ”
