Chapter Seventy-One: Questioning the Case (I)

The frost chain, supervised by the master of the criminal department, made of thousands of years of cold iron, is not only tough and difficult to break, but also contains cold air, frost on the chain all year round, once the person is locked, the cold is into the bones, whether it is a martial arts master, or a master of Buddhism and Taoism, it is extremely difficult to break free.

The chains are cold, but the words are even colder.

As soon as the general's words came out, Bai Cheng felt that the murderous aura was surging like waves, and the flower hall was originally a warm spring breeze, and it was warm, but a cold wind suddenly rolled up, as if winter was coming, and the qi and blood around him were a little unsmooth.

Bai Cheng secretly said in his heart, this person's murderous aura is not only because of the domineering exercises, but also because of the condensation of the evil qi after a hundred battles, and it is only after a hundred battles that this piercing cold is condensed, and he is an extremely difficult master to deal with.

Qingji Daoist was unmoved, opened his mouth and laughed, as the laughter came out, the murderous aura suddenly dissipated, and the flower hall suddenly became sunny and warm as ever.

Qingji Daoren laughed for a while, his voice gradually became quieter, and asked, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?

This general believed that his martial arts were strong, and he was fierce when he entered the flower hall, but at this time, seeing that the cultivation of the Qing Daoist was not inferior to him, he also had some scruples, and his attitude eased and said: "A certain family is Zeng Bao, the commander of the second rank of the imperial court. A few days ago, when Lord Xu was passing through this place, someone blocked the road and shouted injustice, saying that the two of you were related to a murder case, so Lord Xu sent me to lock up the two of you and bring them to the case to distinguish between right and wrong. ”

Qingji Daoist smiled when he heard this: "I don't know who died, and who sued?"

Zeng Bao said: "The deceased is Xuanguitang Taoist Lu Jianshan, Qinghua and Qingyue, and it is Xuanguitang who advocates Qianling, and he sues you two for planning and one of them for doing it, and killing Lu Jianshan and the other three in full view of everyone." ”

Qingji Daoist let out a soft "oh" and asked, "I don't know if he has any witnesses, but can he have physical evidence?"

Zeng Bao said: "Dozens of disciples of Xuangui Hall have all arrived at the case, which is human evidence, and there is a broken sword at the scene, which is physical evidence!"

When Bai Cheng received the invitation from the prefect a few days ago, he already felt strange, and today he heard Steward Wang confide the truth, the invitation was not the prefect's original intention but felt even more strange, at this time, listening to the two of them answering each other, it was even more ridiculous.

In today's world, the dispute between the seven kingdoms of the north and the south is really a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have a transcendent status among the seven kingdoms, and the imperial court has never controlled it. This time, the death of Lu Jianshan, Qingyue and Qinghua involved the dispute between the Daoist Lord of Huangtian Dao, and the imperial court has always ignored such affairs, and they are all handed over to the Daomen to be resolved, how could a Xuanfu envoy suddenly appear and want to meddle in the affairs of the Daomen. What's more, with Zhang Daoren's calmness, how could he rashly run to the court officials to block the road and shout grievances, it is really weird.

It's just that Bai Cheng has always been calm-minded, although he thinks that this matter is extremely ridiculous, but when he saw that the Qing Daoist and Zeng Bao asked and answered, they were all troubled, and they knew that it must be mysterious, so he sat aside and didn't open his mouth.

After hearing what Zeng Bao said, the Qingji Daoist waved his hand and said: "General Zeng's words are wrong, the Xuangui Hall is full of Zhang Qianling's subordinates, and the testimony is uncountable, as for a broken sword, what kind of physical evidence can it be regarded as?"

Zeng Bao snorted coldly and said, "According to the Taoist chief, this matter is actually a void? Could it be that the three corpses are fake?"

Qingji Daoist smiled: "Whether the three corpses are real or false, Poor Dao doesn't know anything, but it has nothing to do with the two of us." ”

Zeng Bao pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, you will explain your recent whereabouts one by one, and a certain family can reply to Lord Xu." ”

The Qingji Taoist asked, "I wonder when these three died?"

Zeng Bao said: "It is said that it was seven or eight days ago. ”

Qingji Daoist stroked his palm and said: "That's it, Poor Dao has been reciting Huang Ting in the temple for nearly a month, and has never stepped out of the gate, and dozens of people in the temple can testify to this matter." ”

Zeng Bao frowned, no longer asked the Qingji Daoist, turned his head to stare at Bai Cheng and said, "Where have you been lately?"

Bai Cheng saw that the Qingji Daoist had to answer all his questions, and he also learned the same, and said: "I lived in Qingyang Mansion for a few days a few days a few days ago, and I have been living in Jiuxian Temple for more than ten days. ”

Zeng Bao asked, "When you were in Qingyang Mansion, did you ever go to Xuangui Hall?"

Bai Cheng said: "I have indeed been there. ”

When Zeng Bao heard this, his eyes froze, and he put on the horizontal knife with one hand, the killing intent was like a mountain and a sea, gradually accumulated, pressed towards Bai Cheng, his eyes pierced Bai Cheng's eyes like a sharp sword, and he said word by word: "Lu Jianshan was killed by you!"

Bai Cheng only felt that his whole body was cold, just like the hare in the forest was targeted by tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, and his thoughts were frozen, if he was pressed by this murderous aura half a month ago, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to hide half a secret in his heart, but now he has thought of Dacheng and cultivated his martial arts mind, although he is afraid of Zeng Leopard's murderous aura, his mind is not running smoothly, but he is not without resistance, and said softly: "General Zeng said that he laughed. ”

As soon as the words came out, Zeng Bao suddenly laughed loudly, turned the cold killing intent into a pool of spring water, and said: "Since you all said no, then it's not, and you don't have to be nervous." ”

After that, Zeng Bao turned around and strode out of the flower hall without looking back.

Bai Cheng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him leave, Zeng Bao was able to melt away his murderous aura abruptly, and the height of his martial arts was above his initial estimate, so he must be a resolute person in his cultivation, and he would never be anticlimactic, but he just bluffed and intimidated a few words, and then left, which is really incomprehensible.

Bai Cheng turned his head to look at the Qingji Daoist, and saw that the Qingji Daoist also showed a puzzled look on his face, but then he seemed to have figured out something, but he didn't speak, just lightly dipped his right index finger in the tea bowl, and wrote the words "okay" with tea.

Bai Cheng was stunned, and then knew what the Qing Daoist already knew, and hurriedly wrote the word "ask" with tea, and then went to see the Qing Daoist, but saw him waving his hand lightly and no longer writing.

Bai Cheng was wondering, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the distance, looked up, and saw a group of people in the distance walking towards the flower hall from a distance.

There are about seven or eight people in this line, and the two who walk in the front, one has a face like a crown of jade, a scarlet coat and a green front, although his face is gentle, but his every move is extremely powerful, and he is obviously a person who has been in the top position for a long time; the one next to him is a soft armor, ten feet tall, with a blood-colored cloak behind his back, although he is thin, but he walks with a dragon and a tiger, and is dignified and powerful, it is Zhou Dingyuan, the commander of the Blood Flame Army.

Followed by them is an official, this official looks more than forty years old, his face is thin, and his five locks of long hair flutter in the wind under his chin, quite a bit of elegance, judging from the grade of the official uniform on his body, he should be the master of this place, the prefect of Qingyang Mansion, but he is accompanied by Xuangui and Qianling.

The four of them walked in front, a general with a few sergeants, following closely behind, as if to protect the safety of the scarlet-clothed man in front, this general was Cao Bao, who had just left the place.
