Cao Zhang waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to put Shi A down.

At this time, Shi Ah clenched his teeth, his fists clenched, because of excessive force, his lips had bitten out blood, and his nails were also deeply embedded in his hands, picking out blood. Coupled with the blood on his thighs, the whole person was even weaker and miserable.

Cao Zhang said to Man Chong: "Manfu Jun, you have worked hard to arrange someone to bandage his wounds, and ask a medical officer to diagnose and treat him, and the food and cell environment should also be improved, so as not to let his wounds become infected." ”

Man Pet immediately bowed his head and promised: "Yes!" ”

Cao Zhang took one last look at Shi Ah and said admiringly: "It's a pity that I didn't know you earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have let you suffer such a crime!" ”

With that, he turned around and walked outside the interrogation room.

Seeing that he was leaving, Xiahou Ba hurriedly stopped: "Ziwen, let's just leave?" ”

"There is no result in the retrial, let me go back and think about it!" Cao Zhang responded to Xiahou Ba very calmly and beckoned them to go out.

Xiahou Ba had no choice but to follow Cao Zhang out of the interrogation room with Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Ru.

"Brother Ziwen, could it be that what Shi A is telling the truth now, is it really Dong Cheng who bought him and used Brother Zihuan's correspondence with us to pass on the military information to Li Dao?"

Walking in the corridor of the school office, Xiahou Ru spoke first and asked Cao Zhang.

Xiahou Shang also echoed and said: "Yes, after all, ordinary people will definitely not be able to bear the torture just now, I think Shi Ah may have really confessed!" ”

Cao Zhang looked at the two and wanted to explain, but finally held back.

After all, the relationship between Wang Yue and Shi A was his secret as a prophet of the traverser, and he couldn't explain it to the two.

Now that Shi A insists on not confessing, Cao Pi is also carrying it to the end, and it is no wonder that the kind-hearted Xiahou brothers will be deceived by them.

"Ziwen, if the punishment just now is used by Zihuan, he will definitely not be able to stand it, and he will definitely be able to tell the truth." Xiahou Ba proposed to Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang listened to Xiahou Ba's words, and his heart moved slightly, Shi A has a handle in Cao Pi's hands, but what about Cao Pi himself? He may not be able to withstand such torture.

"No way!" Cao Zhang hadn't spoken yet, but Xiahou Shang had already raised an opposing opinion, "Zihuan is Sikong's son after all, and now there is no evidence to prove that he was the one who made Shi A pass on the military information, how could he easily use such torture against him?!" If the truth is finally found out, he is really wronged, who can bear this responsibility?! ”

"Yes, even if he really can't bear it and admits that it's his own problem, but when he can see Sikong, he bites back, saying that he was beaten into a trick by us, and it will be difficult for things to end." Xiahou Ru also supported Xiahou Shang's opinion and opposed the use of torture to Cao Zhang.

As soon as they said this, Xiahou Ba was speechless, although he was reluctant, he had to admit that they were reasonable, Cao Pi's special identity was indeed not something that could be easily tortured.

"Ziwen, aren't you usually the most thoughtful? You're talking! Xiahou Ba turned his head helplessly to look at Cao Zhang, urging.

At this time, Cao Zhang was actually at a loss in his heart, he obviously didn't expect Shi A to be so hard-mouthed, and when he insisted on refusing to admit it, things came to a complete impasse.

"Otherwise, let's arrest Dong Cheng back and interrogate him, now Shi A insists that it is him, if he really admits it, won't this matter be revealed?" Xiahou Ru proposed to Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang looked at Xiahou Ru but shook his head slightly: "No, without any evidence, how can you easily arrest the prince and come back for interrogation, it will cause chaos in the court." ”

Although Cao Zhang didn't have any good feelings for Dong Cheng, and even a little disgusted, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, how could Cao Zhang wronged the innocent?

What's more, Dong Cheng's identity is the national abbot after all, if he is arrested in this way, but the result cannot be judged, it will inevitably attract the criticism of Xun Yu and Kong Rong, who are loyal to the Han family, and the harmonious situation with the Han family that he has finally created will be completely broken, which is obviously not the situation that Cao Zhang wants to see.

As Cao Cao, he definitely didn't want things to come to this end, otherwise there was no need to wait for him to come back for trial, Cao Cao himself would arrest Dong Cheng, and now hand it over to himself for trial, and he must also hope to minimize the situation and find out the truth.

"It's not okay like this, it's not okay to do that, is it just like this, keep Zihuan and Shi Ah locked up, and consume it?" Xiahou Ba complained anxiously.

His words made Cao Zhang's heart move: Yes, no one asked him to find out the truth? Cao Cao did not set a time for him to solve the case.

If you can't find it clearly, then you keep checking it, and if you don't find out the results for a day, Cao Pi will always be suspicious, so you can't let him out.

Although Cao Pi can't be put to death, but if he is locked up all the time, he will not be able to frame himself, and he will lose the opportunity to compete with himself for the son, which is not a good result.

Cao Zhang made a look of embarrassment, and said to the three of them: "Of course I don't want to keep them locked up. But now it's not clear, and it's impossible to just let people go. Zihuan is my brother after all, and I can't bear to punish him, so I can only be locked up like this for the time being, let me think about it again, and then continue the trial when I come up with a feasible way. ”

Xiahou Ba still wanted to argue, but Cao Zhang stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Okay, I haven't rested since I returned to Xudu, and I'm already very tired." I'm worried about Juan'er, so I'll go home with me to see her first, and I'll talk about the trial later. ”

Xiahou Ba heard Cao Zhang mention Xiahou Juan, and felt that he was indeed very tired, and he couldn't bear to say more, so he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, then let's do this today, Bo Yan, Junlin, you also go back to rest first." Wait for Ziwen to figure out a way, and then ask you to interrogate together. ”

Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Ru nodded knowingly, said goodbye to the two, and then left first.

Cao Zhang and Xiahou Ba rode their horses slowly in the direction of Xiahou's house outside the city.

"Ziwen, tell me, did you come up with a good idea?" Xiahou Ba asked Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang responded helplessly: "Didn't I tell you everything, I'll talk about it later." I'm telling you, sometimes the best outcome is when there is no result. ”

After Cao Zhang finished speaking, he no longer bothered with Xiahou Ba, and urged the horse to move forward quickly.

Xiahou Ba recalled Cao Zhang's words and muttered in a low voice: "No result is the best result?" ”

He pondered carefully, and suddenly came to his senses, his face showed joy, and he shouted happily: "Ziwen, I understand what you mean, or you are amazing." You wait for me! ”

Xiahou Ba urged the horse to chase after Cao Zhang, and the two of them headed towards Xiahou's house outside Xudu City together.
