Ouyang Bei couldn't pass the danger of the fire room beams collapsing at any time, so he broke in again with a burst of smoke, just to see if anyone in the Ma family survived the fire.

The old king, who came after receiving the news, was afraid that he would lose, so he also followed closely.

While guarding against the sporadic flames that appeared from time to time, everyone carefully searched, and finally found more than sixty charred corpses in the side hall.

These corpses are either distorted or huddled together, giving a sense of despair and pain at the moment of death.

What's more, judging from the size of the child, there are still many children in the general horn, and it seems that the Mafu family has suffered misfortune.

Seeing that a huge and magnificent horse mansion was turned into charcoal in an instant under his nose, the scene in front of him was like a Shura dojo and a purgatory on earth.

Even if Ouyang Bei was old and steady, it was difficult to suppress his mood, his hands trembled slightly, and he staggered out and turned out, unable to bear to look at it again.

After this toss, it was past noon, and Ouyang Bei was guilty and sad and angry, still blaming himself for why he didn't come to Mafu first last night, so that the Ma family might be able to avoid being killed.

After calming down a little, he felt that the matter was really important, and there were more than 60 lives in the evening, and he had to report to the prefect as soon as possible, so he arranged some manpower to continue to maintain the scene, and he quickly rushed back to the palace with the old Wang Tou and others.

Back at the mansion, Ouyang Bei saw that the prefect Jia was sitting in the lobby, and the officials were standing neatly on both sides, and he was slightly stunned in his heart, today is not the day to raise the court to ask questions, why is it so postured?

Ouyang Bei did not doubt that he had him, and hurriedly bowed down to the seat and said, "See the prefect for his humble position." ”

Jia Jingzong saw him saluting him, snorted and said coldly: "Ouyang Bei, you did a good thing!"

Ouyang Bei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "What did the subordinates do, please tell me clearly." ”

Jia Jingzong said: "You didn't come back last night, and you went to Mafu again this morning, what did you do?"

Ouyang Beidao: "My subordinates went to Tianning Temple last night to investigate the case, and I went to Mafu this morning to investigate the case by the way." ”

Jia Jingzong smiled and said, "Investigate the case? I think it's going to commit a crime!"

Ouyang Bei was stunned in his heart, and he didn't know why Jia Jingzong said this, so he hurriedly said: "My subordinates really went to investigate the case, and Song Qizuo can testify." ”

Song Qizuo was also in the lobby at this time, and when he heard the words, he said to Jia Jingzong: "Lord Qiyu, Ouyang Zhutou did go to Tianning Temple last night to handle the case. ”

Jia Jingzong sneered: "Handle the case?" Song Yanzuo, but you accompanied him last night?"

Song Cheng was speechless for a while: "This ...... That's not all, I returned to the mansion yesterday afternoon, but Ouyang Zhutou did tell me that he was going to Tianning Temple to investigate the case in the evening......"

Jia Jingzong said angrily: "Stop, Hugh wants to say it again, since you are not present, how can you testify for him!"

Ouyang Bei didn't know why Jia Jingzong was so angry and was waiting to argue.

Suddenly, I heard Li Si say gloomily on the side: "Ouyang Zhutou, while the prefect is still remembering your many years of credit, you should hurry up and recruit it!"

Ouyang Bei was surprised, Li Si, this kid is usually timid and scared, tricky and slippery, and never comes out easily, but now he is arrogant in front of the prefect, which is very puzzling.

Jia Jingzong was furious and shouted: "Bold Ouyang Bei, you are a fast catcher in Yangzhou, you know the law and break the law, set fire to the crime, what else do you have to say!"

Ouyang Bei was shocked and frightened, jumped up in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Lord Mingjian, I didn't set the fire, and I didn't kill the people." ”

Jia Jingzong laughed angrily and said: "Ouyang Bei, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin! ”

Two officials brought up a bucket of water and two empty buckets, as well as a suit of clothes stained with a lot of oil.

When I lifted my nose and smelled it, there was a pungent smell of fire oil, and the barrel was not filled with water but oil for ignition.

Jia Jingzong continued: "This official received a report last night, saying that you coveted the property of the Ma Mansion and wanted to kill his family. At first, the official didn't believe it, until he sent someone to your house to find these fire-starting things, which were the same as those used to set fire to the Mafu scene, as well as your clothes stained with fire oil. The evidence is overwhelming, what else do you have to say?"

Ouyang Bei opened his mouth wide, he really couldn't believe his ears, the clothes were indeed changed before he went to the Ma Mansion, and he usually wore them to the mansion, and he had seen many people, even if he had a hundred mouths at this moment, it was difficult to justify.

He looked blankly at Lao Wangtou, Song Chengzuo, Xiao Liuzi and others.

There are many of these people who are taken care of by him on weekdays, although they are not angry, but when this is a big right and wrong, how can they ignore it.

He has always been self-denying and dedicated, and he has worked hard for the murder of the second son of the Ma family and the Yunlian girl in Fengyi Building, everyone in the yamen knows it, how can anyone frame him like this?

Ouyang Bei's whole body trembled, his mind was in chaos, and he thought anxiously, "What the hell is going on, who is going to frame me?"

Seeing Ouyang Bei standing on the spot, Jia Jingzong immediately stretched out his hand and waved his hand and shouted to the officials, "Come on, take it for me!"

Li Si, Zhang Mazi and the others heard this, and rushed forward together.

Ouyang Bei saw that these subordinates, who were usually timid and fearful, and the most untalented were rushing to the front at this moment, he was both angry and sad in his heart, and he yelled: "Who dares to step forward!"

Ouyang Bei was powerful on weekdays, and most of the people were afraid of his might, and no one dared to take a step forward for a while.

When Jia Jingzong saw that none of the officials dared to step forward, he immediately shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel with him?"

When Ouyang Bei heard the prefect say this, he already knew in his heart that Jia Jingzong intended to deal with him, but he didn't know what he was dissatisfied with himself.

Ouyang Bei was sad and angry, and shouted loudly: "My lord, I, Ouyang Bei, have worked hard for the people of Yangzhou, and I have no merit and hard work, you ...... But why did you wronged me!

He has always been dedicated to the public, but he knows that there is something today, he is indignant, he unconsciously has to open his hair, his eyes are wide open, and the meteor hammer is already in his hand.

Li Si saw that he was furious, it must be a fight if he continued like this, and his wit, which was not used on the right path, came up again, and hurriedly leaned into Jia Jingzong's ear and whispered a few words.

I saw Jia Jingzong frown slightly, and then nodded.

Ouyang Bei's mind turned sharply, the situation at this time was extremely unfavorable to him, although his subordinates did not dare to make a move for a while under their own authority, but after all, no one dared to stand up for themselves at this moment.

Only Song Yanzuo invited Master Xichen to testify, and he may still have a slight possibility of clearing up his grievances, and said loudly at the moment: "My lord, I am really wronged! Please summon Master Xichen of Tianning Temple as soon as possible, and you will understand that your humble position is framed!"

Jia Jingzong said coldly: "Ouyang Bei, if you are aware of current affairs, you will obediently tie your hands at this moment, and this official will return your innocence. ”

Ouyang Bei heard the words like a lightning strike, for many years, he had been telling this set of rhetoric to others by himself, and he never thought that one day this would come from the mouth of others and he would hear it himself, and his heart was churning up and down for a while, not a taste.

Since the weak crown walked the rivers and lakes, he dreamed that he would pick up the knife in his hand and the hammer on his waist and become a hero who presided over justice and punished thieves.

And today, if he wants to pick up the knife in his hand and the hammer on his waist, he will become those thieves who were sent to the cell by the hero himself, and he doesn't dare to think about it next.

Ouyang Beizheng was in a dilemma, and the meteor hammer in his hand unconsciously relaxed.

Jia Jingzong saw that it was a good time, so he hurriedly made his eyes and gestured left and right.

Li Si, Zhang Mazi and others saw that there was a gap to take advantage of, and once again relied on their courage to rush forward, at this time Ouyang Bei's heart was in turmoil, and as soon as his will was loosened, how could he still resist, and he was grabbed and tied up by everyone in an instant.

The person was taken down, Jia Jingzong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, remembering that he had sat here for a long time and hadn't eaten lunch, Ouyang Bei was already in the bag, and it was not too late to try it slowly. So he ordered someone to temporarily put Ouyang Bei on death row behind the government office, and prepared to have a night trial at night, so as to show that he was diligent in government and loved the people.

The Fuyahou Prison is Room 5, which is where death row inmates who have committed serious crimes are held.

Ouyang Bei was very familiar with this place, but when he was in the middle of it with his hands and feet shackled, he felt that this place was so unfamiliar.

The sour and rotten smell of the dead row on death row rushed straight to his head through his nose, and he was full of bitterness, only to feel that his stomach was mixed, and he couldn't hold back it for a while, and vomited on the spot.

After vomiting yellow water for a while, the heart full of grievances and resentment gradually calmed down, and his brain began to spin rapidly.

What happened in one day and one night? The Ma family was tragically wiped out, he was imprisoned, and the feeling of falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley was nothing more than that.

Who is going to frame themselves, Li Si and Zhang Mazi, who are usually dissatisfied with their subordinates? There is this possibility, but it is more impossible, even if they have the heart, they may not have such ability. He has this ability, but why should he go to great lengths to frame a subordinate?

Could the fire in Ma's house today and the tragic death of Old Man Ma be done by the person who did the murder in Xia Fengyi Building?

Every step I take, it's like I have a pair of eyes behind me, and I'm controlled by others everywhere.

Ouyang Bei only felt that his brain was about to be broken, and he couldn't think of a reason.

In a flash of light, he suddenly remembered what Ma Dechang said before he died, and specially asked about the letter in his arms.

Could it be that this letter is to blame?

Ouyang Bei originally wanted to take it apart to see what was going on, but now that he was in a place of right and wrong, if there was really anything important in this letter, he had to find a safe and secure place to open it.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly reached into his arms and took out the letter, and inadvertently took out the bamboo tube that the monk Xichen of Tianning Temple gave him.

Most of the people in the yamen and the prison were Ouyang Bei's acquaintances, so fortunately there were no jailers who searched him when he came in.

During the daily chat, he accidentally knew from the jailer that there was a dark hole in the corner of the wall of the No. 5 room, and he saw that there was no one around, so he hid the letter and the bamboo tube in the dark hole, so as not to be searched out during the night trial.

After the things were hidden, Ouyang Bei simply closed his eyes and lay down, it was useless to think about it, he wanted to see what the means of this Jia Governor's Mansion were at night.
