Volume II: Dissidents, XXV. Progress of the case

"The grass people were guarding the door yesterday, and suddenly the thief Yang Shi broke into the door. Without saying a word, he cut off the grass people's two ears, "Zhao Wu took off his hat, and the sides were bare and scarred.

Chen Ruo frowned and asked, "Why did you cut off your ears instead of killing you?"

"Yes...... Maybe the thief didn't like me, or maybe the grass people had offended him before. At the beginning, his murderous intent was not very strong, and the grass man was injured and immediately hid, not daring to stop him. Zhao Wutou was on the ground, and his voice trembled a little.

The people present were all elites, and they could see at a glance that Zhao Wu was hiding something.

Chen Ruo glanced at Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Shaoqing understood.

He shouted: "Zhao Wu, Hugh has to lie! The emperor and many adults present are all transparent eyes, can distinguish between right and wrong, and will make decisions for you, if Yang City has an accomplice, they will also explain it!"

"Go back to your lord......" Zhao Wu's already small courage trembled even more, and he regretted the panic he said earlier. Originally, he had already thought about what he said the night before, and he had trained many times, but he didn't expect to be timid when he arrived on such a serious occasion. He stumbled and said, "Yang City, he has no accomplices, just one person." He was the only one, first killed Zhao Dan, Master Zhao, and then went to humiliate the female dependents and killed the whole family. I hid in the grass and survived. In a hurry, he said the wrong thing, which was different from what he had planned to say last night.

The strength of the people on the field is extraordinary, knowing Yang City's martial arts cultivation, Zhao Wu, an ordinary person who is a little reluctant in his self-cultivation realm, is categorically impossible to hide in front of Yang City.

So Shaoqing scolded again: "You are still lying!"

"The grass people don't dare to ......," Zhao Wu trembled.

Shaoqing said solemnly: "Do you know that the emperor is still here, if you lie, you are guilty of defrauding the king." ”

As soon as he heard that the big hat of the bully was buttoned down, Zhao Wu refused to let go of his mouth more and more, just kowtowed there, and kept saying, "What the grass people say is true."

Shaoqing was a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Guangnan, the secretary of Dali Temple.

Zhao Guangnan is a man with a somewhat gray beard and hair, and he is quite prestigious in the court. is different from Wang Ding's neutral faction who receives benefits at both ends, he is an old pedant who is upright, honest and honest, and enforces the law impartially. Even if there are many generals who are a little unruly, when they see him, they will respectfully shout Lord Zhao.

And Zhao Dan, with him is a distant cousin. Zhao Guangnan is a song, and Zhao Shan is a younger brother. Zhao Dan's career was only started after Zhao Guangnan mentioned it, and then he came to the top. However, Zhao Guangnan later broke off the relationship with Zhao Dan, and the reason is obvious.

Zhao Guangnan nodded at Shaoqing, let him stand behind him, and then asked in a gentle tone: "Zhao Wu, let me ask you, what did Yang Shike say, did he have a grudge against Zhao Dan?"

Zhao Wu raised his head and looked at the adult who was asking, and seeing that his attitude was relaxed, Zhao Wu couldn't help but relax a little. Because there was nothing to hide, he replied truthfully: "When Yang Shi came to the door, Master Zhao Dan didn't seem to be very surprised, and said, 'Sure enough', and when Yang Shi entered the door, he had a fierce face, and it seemed that he had a grudge for a long time. ”

This truth made him inconsistent with what he said, and Shaoqing was about to have a seizure, but was silently pulled by Zhao Guangnan.

"Then it can be ruled out that it was a temporary intention. Hubu Shangshu Wang Ding couldn't help but speak.

Zhao Guangnan smiled and shook his head: "This is just the words of one person, you can't believe it all, and you need to have multiple verifications before you can judge the case." ”

"It is worthy of Lord Zhao, who is meticulous. Wang Ding sighed.

I don't know if he took the opportunity to be stupid to make a sycophant.

Although the Hubu Shangshu is the second grade, and the Dali Siqing is the third grade, there is a difference of two levels in the middle, but Zhao Guangnan's hidden power and rich resume are not like the superficial official position.

Many times, the rank of the official position is a fart for the people of the Tang Dynasty. If you take it seriously, it will affect people very much, and if you don't care, it won't affect anything. More often than not, it depends on the geometry of the forces behind it, what the personal realm is, and what the strength is.

Zhao Guangnan continued to ask: "Let me ask you, you said earlier that Yang City insulted the daughters of the Zhao family, do you have a relationship?"

"My lord, I have witnessed that the thieves in Yang City have had sex with their female dependents. Zhao Wu replied.

Zhao Guangnan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Passing on the work." ”

It's done.

"Zuo, let me ask you, according to the results of Yang Shi's corpse examination, did he have sex before his death?" Zhao Guangnan asked.

He knelt down and kowtowed three times before replying, "Returning to my lordship, no." ”

There is not much difference between the practice path of the doctor and the doctor, both of them are practicing the way of medicine and the way of nature, and there are many wonderful means.

"Zhao Wu, what do you say?" Zhao Guangnan looked at Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu hurriedly remedied: "Lord Hui, I remembered it wrongly, they didn't have sex." ”

"And you also said that you have witnessed it with your own eyes, how can you witness it? He will let an unrelated man watch from the sidelines?" Zhao Guangnan asked.

Zhao Wu hesitated: "Maybe he has a special fetish......

Zhao Guangnan shook his head, waved his hand to let him go down, and Zhao Wu stayed where he was.

He bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, in the morning, Master Li, the head of the household department, found Weichen, saying that there were clues about the progress of the case, and he was already waiting outside at the moment. ”

"Let him in. Chen Ruo has calmed down a lot now and said calmly.

Li Wei walked in from outside, he first bowed to the emperor, and then saluted many high-ranking officials.

The official rank is reflected here, the squire is from the third rank, most of the people here are higher than him, and formal occasions need to be saluted.

Li Wei cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of the shame of your adults, this clue was discovered by Weichen when he went out to look for his little girl yesterday." Saying that, he glanced at it secretly, but he didn't see Chen Baiyi, and his heart was slightly stunned.

The three legal divisions were tried, and the prime minister did not come, which made him a little imaginative.

"Ling Yuan is still as energetic as ever, I've heard of it. Chen Ruo smiled.

"Weichen thanked the emperor for his little daughter's concern," Li Wei gave a salute and continued: "I never thought that when she arrived at Xu Yunshen's residence, she was heard by me who had just arrived and heard their gossip. ”

"Xu Yunshen? I have the impression that he is the top of the first Wandao List, and he is quite fresh and refined. But you, a dignified servant, actually went to listen to the corner. Chen Ruo raised his eyebrows.

Li said in a deep voice: "Let the case come to light as soon as possible, and Weichen's little fame will be damaged." During their conversation, Wei Chen learned that Yang Shi had also had a meal with Xu Yunshen before going to Zhao's mansion. At the same time, Xu Yunshen also knew that Yang City was going to kill people next, but he did not stop it or report it. It was his inaction that led to the tragedy of the Zhao Mansion!"

Li Wei's words were a little loud, which made many people in the audience silent.

They were even wondering if this Li Wei was a trick sent by Chen Baiyi to deal with the crown prince. As we all know, Li Wei is a member of Chen Baiyi's faction, and Xu Yunshen is a princeling.

Zhao Guangnan said: "As Lord Li said, the emperor, do you want to pass on Xu Yunshen?"

"Then pass him on, I want to see if this case is related to him. Chen Ruo's face was gloomy again.
