Seeing that this battle finally stopped, Bi Changxiao called the people in the house to reorganize the front hall after the fierce battle, and asked the people to add more big ice at the four corners of the front hall. Bi Yixiao also stood up to mediate with a smile, blaming the hot weather for everyone's fight, which caused everyone's hearts to be a little hot, and easily revealed the matter of Fang Cai. She then instructed the maid beside her to go to the kitchen and ask the cook to prepare a big pot of iced sour plum soup to relieve the heat.

Now in the front hall of this Bifu, everyone involved in this case is basically counted. The Bi family is the three siblings of Bi Changxiao, Bi Yixiao, and Bi Changming; the four guests who stayed in Bi's mansion on the night of the murder were Tu Lingxiao, Zhao Ruocheng, and Ouyang Cha and Bingtai's master and apprentice; as for Chang Daren, Song Shenjiang, and Xie Yixiang, they can be regarded as officials sent by the imperial court to investigate the case; in addition, the rest are Qingcheng Ke Moyin, who Bi Yixiao invited to settle down after the crime, and Hai Niansong, a monk who came with Xie Yixiang, and a son. The total is 13 people.

At that moment, everyone was seated as the guest of honor, and Bi Changxiao was sitting in the host's seat, accompanied by Bi Yixiao and Bi Changming, two brothers and sisters. The seat on the left is still headed by Lord Zun Chang, followed by Song Shenjiang, Xie Yixiang, De Yizi, and Hai Niansong, and the right chief seat is in the order of Tu Lingxiao, Zhao Ruocheng, Ouyang Cha, and Bingtai. When all the people have been seated, a little count, but there is still a lack of the fourth lady of the Bi family, Bi Yixiang, and the housekeeper Bi Wufu, when even if there is a subordinate to say: "The fourth lady is naughty again, and the Fu housekeeper has gone to take care of it in person, but I am afraid that it will be delayed for a while before I can come." ”

As the official of the Criminal Department in charge of this case, Master Chang immediately nodded when he heard this and said, "Miss Bi Si can't come for a while, so it's okay." With that, he coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and then said, "Since everyone is almost there, and it is close to noon, let us hurry up." The reason why all of you are gathered here today is because Xie Yixiang, the third lady of the general Xie Fengxuan's family of this dynasty, was entrusted by the Beiping Divine Arrest Merchant to represent the criminal arrest room and the general's mansion...... There is even a pro-military governor's mansion, who rushed all the way to Bifu to assist the officials in investigating the case, so as to expose the truth and arrest the culprit. Therefore, please don't be troublesome, and tell the facts of this case in detail from beginning to end, so that Miss Xie San can know in her heart. ”

When the people were cleaning up the front hall, Bi Changxiao had already introduced them one by one, so everyone already knew Xie Yixiang's identity and origin at this time, and now when they heard Lord Chang's opening remarks, everyone's eyes converged on Xie Yixiang. Some of them sighed secretly, with a hint of exhaustion on their faces, showing that they had long been tired of the interrogation of officials at all levels about this case in the past three months; some of them shook their heads slightly, casting suspicious glances at Xie Yixiang, naturally questioning what ability she had to investigate this case for such a young girl.

Seeing this, Bi Yixiao thought that this Miss Xie San was just a little girl after all, and in this situation, she would have some stage fright, so she hurriedly opened her mouth and asked, "Sister Yixiang, how do you plan to understand the case? Do you want everyone to start the whole thing from the beginning, or do you ask them one by one?"

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but smile slightly, although there are tigers and dragons in the front hall of Bifu at the moment, there are also Tu Lingxiao, Ouyang Cha, Emei Jian, Qingcheng Ke and Lingyun Monk These masters, but she has already seen a lot of similar scenes, and even bigger battles than this have been experienced, how can she put these ten or so people in the front hall in her eyes at this moment?

At that moment, she stood up, made a square bow to everyone present, and said respectfully: "Everyone here is well, the little girl is polite." As Master Chang said, the little woman was indeed entrusted by the Beiping Shang Shen to investigate the case as the head of the criminal arrest room. However, the words 'expose the truth and arrest the culprit' mentioned in Chang Daren's words are also a little inappropriate. To tell you the truth, the little woman is still young and shallow, and I can't solve the murder case that happened in Bifu right now. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, and they all turned their heads and ears, and Bi Changxiao couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "You...... You haven't even heard what happened, and you said that you can't break it?" that Ouyang Cha's apprentice Bingtai sneered even more: "Since you don't have the ability, you shouldn't come out and be embarrassed." Summoning us together in vain, but saying that he couldn't solve the case, wasting everyone's time!"

As everyone knows, this is Xie Yixiang's routine, the reason why she said this was to attract everyone's attention. You must know that although everyone will more or less buy the face of his father Xie Fengxuan, but in the end she is just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, just as the so-called people are soft-spoken, how can these old foxes in officialdom and old fritters in the rivers and lakes really take themselves seriously? Therefore, as soon as he speaks, he is not afraid of other people's opposition or even accusations, but he is afraid that no one will listen to him at all.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Xie Yixiang smiled slightly, suppressed everyone's discussions, and said: "Zheng Guogong, the master of the Bi family, Sister Xiao, the 'Female God of Wealth', and Bi Changming, the third son of Bi, are not only loyal and good, but also extremely smart people, and the little woman is ashamed of herself; Mr. Ouyang, who is a veteran of a hundred battles, is a famous martial arts man with a hundred battles, and his martial arts knowledge is far better than mine; Let's ask this murder case in Bifuli that happened right under your noses, and after three months of investigation, but there is still no clue, the little woman still has this bit of self-knowledge, and she doesn't even have to listen to the case at all, she can assert that she can't solve the case, otherwise wouldn't she be smarter than everyone here combined?"

Her words clearly patted the sycophants of everyone present, although she was a little blunt, but everyone listened to it, but it was also useful, and they said: "Miss Xie San is humble." Unexpectedly, Xie Yixiang's tone changed suddenly, and Zhengse said: "Although the little woman can't solve the case, it's not that she can't handle the case, otherwise how dare she recklessly summon everyone to come? Theft, robbery, murder and arson, you must know that no matter what kind of case it is, in fact, the case itself is not important, what matters is how it is dealt with after the case, because this directly affects the word 'gain and loss'." ”

After a pause, she said: "The so-called gains and losses are the trade-offs between pros and cons. I remember that a great official in the Song Dynasty once said: 'Criminal prison lawsuits, human life is as big as the sky', to put it mildly, but what he said is bullshit. It is necessary to know that this case is like the children of our generation, in the final analysis, it is just the four words 'eliminate violence and peace and good', how can we stick to the form and dogma? The law is dead, but people are alive, if it is a great evildoer, even if he is sentenced to an unjust case, he must be beheaded and shown to the public, so that he will not harm more people in the future, this is like Lingyun Monk thinking about eliminating violence, If it is a great good person, even if he really violates any law, he must try his best to excuse him, so that he can help more people in the future, and even save many lives. The two seniors, I don't know what the little woman said, yes or no?"

Monk Nahai Niansong and Mo Yin immediately replied in unison: "That's right!" When the words fell, the two couldn't help but look at each other in embarrassment, each snorted coldly, and turned their heads to the side. Xie Yixiang observed the words and saw that everyone listened with relish, and couldn't help but increase his confidence, and continued: "So what the truth of this murder case in Bifu is, in fact, it is not so important, what is important is how we should deal with this case. It is said that King Heng disappeared for no reason three months ago, and it is rumored that he came to Bifu in Shu, and there happened to be a murder in the house, leaving only a headless corpse. In comparison, now the entire Bifu has been sealed for three months, strictly prohibiting everyone from entering and leaving, so the most important thing at the moment is to make a decision on this case. It is not only necessary to protect the integrity of the Bifu Mansion, but also to give everyone here a freedom, and the conclusion of this case does not mean that the truth must be investigated. ”

Her series of words can be described as extremely beautiful, and the words are even more reasonable and well-founded, but in fact, she just copied the original words of the late Zhuang Haoming, the former chief arrester of the criminal arrest room. For a while, everyone present only nodded their heads again and again, and they couldn't imagine that this Miss Xie San had such a ability, and she had already controlled the audience with just one word, and she was above everyone, and she no longer dared to underestimate her.

Bi Changxiao was even more convinced when he heard it, and immediately laughed and said: "It's still Yixiang girl who can see through, this time I have you here, it is really a great luck for my Bifu to come! What you said is not bad at all, the most important thing at the moment is to lift the ban on my Bifu first, as for the truth of King Heng's murder, I will slowly and thoroughly investigate it in the future." Bi Yixiao, who was beside her, was surprised, but also smiled happily and asked, "Listen to you! Yixiang, according to what you see, how should this case be resolved now?"

Xie Yixiang smiled slightly and replied: "How should it be decided, then we must first know what the case is." ”
