Chapter 3: Retribution

How could Yang Zhi be in the mood to blame, Yang Zhi beat the drum in his heart, seeing Yang Jie's attitude, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and let Yang Jie walk around the cell to check the clues; Yang Zhi himself closed his eyes and tried hard to remember the big hall. In the mist of thoughts, Yang Zhi captured the plaque of the main hall "Black Heron Palace", Yang Zhi was very strange, what he was doing in the main hall and why he stayed for so long.

In the main hall, Yang Zhi remembered the popular palace memory in the twentieth century, a way to increase memory through self-shallow hypnosis, and his heart was suddenly alert, could it be that the original Yang Zhi had also been trained in this area, so the fragments of memory were layer by layer, because of his own possession, part of the memory was lost. When Yang Zhi opened his eyes, he heard Cai Fu running in from outside, panting and saying, "Yang Zhi, the sky has fallen, two jailers and one prisoner have died, and you are going to be arraigned;

Yang Jie smiled calmly and said, "Before the accident, I saw the murderer. ”

Yang Zhi was taken out of the cell, the first time he passed through the court, the case was tried by Zhang Ruhui, the envoy of the imperial city, and Fan Zhixu, the secretary of the criminal department, and the great eunuch Li Yan of the Song Hui sect came to observe. Fan Zhixu's face was full of anger, his eyes were bright, and he was full of anger: "Yang Zhi, why did you slay the dragon in front of the tea shop next door to the armory shop that day?"

Yang Zhi pondered repeatedly for a while, and made up his mind not to admit that the dragon was slaughtered, the dragon represented the emperor, no matter what he said, it would make people feel inappropriate, anyway, it was just a dead word, and he didn't admit that there was still a glimmer of hope for life. When Yang Zhi heard this, he immediately replied: "I didn't slay the dragon in my humble position, I killed a strange snake that day." ”

Zhang Ruhui was furious, this Yang Zhi looked like a straight-hearted soldier, but he didn't expect to be so cunning, and he shirked everything in one sentence. Zhang Ruhui sneered: "So many people saw you slay the dragon, although the dragon was eaten by you, but there are pictures to prove it." Yang Zhi, don't quibble, dragons have ten thousand shapes, even if there are no dragon claws, dragons are still dragons. Lin Zhenren said that it is because you slay the dragon that God will repay the people of Bianliang. ”

Retribution? When I went to the Song Dynasty, it was retribution, a dick, who wrote some nonsense about the Song Dynasty on the Internet every day, showing his ability and unwillingness, and was sent by God as he wished. Yang Zhi laughed and said, "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add." It's raining when it's time to rain, it's sunny when it's sunny, and it has nothing to do with anyone, and if you have to get in touch with me, I can't help it. It's just that Lin Lingsu's prayer is ineffective, and he should say prevarications such as the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. ”

Zhang Ruhui was stunned, Fan Zhixu and Li Yan's eyes were bright, and the people who ate the dragon immortal really had some doorways, and Yang Zhi could guess that Lin Lingsu's sentence "Heavenly Machines cannot be revealed" showed that Yang Zhi was not ambiguous. On the third day of the rainstorm in Bianliang, Lin Lingsu began to go to the city to pray, but it was ineffective for three days, and yesterday he was attacked by a group of servants with flat shoulders and baskets, and drove down the city tower. Lin Lingsu returned to the palace in embarrassment and said: "The heavy rain does not stop, it is the will of heaven to warn Your Majesty, according to the minister's calculations, this water is caused by the prince. The minister did not dare to leak the heavenly opportunity, perhaps the prince prayed that the rain would stop. ”

Lin Lingsu's words contain evil intentions, a sentence "This water rises because of the prince", the crown prince Zhao Huan is detained, the prince does not come forward to pray for the heavy rain is a weak heart; after the rain stops Zhao Huan is atonement, if the heavy rain is returned, it proves that Zhao Huan's virtue is at a loss. Unless, as Yang Zhi said, the rain has nothing to do with anyone, and the crown prince Zhao Huan can stay out of the matter, Fan Zhixu and the two looked at Zhang Ruhui with great interest how to ask.

Zhang Ruhui was frightened, Yang Zhi was locked up in prison, how could he guess what the master Lin Lingsu said, someone must have spread the news; this is the foot of the Son of Heaven and the important place of the Imperial City, who is so bold and has such great energy, the prince, Cai Jing, Zhang Ruhui shuddered, knowing that he had stepped into the quagmire with one foot. Zhang Ruhui shouted: "Evil words confuse the public. Yang Zhi, how can you know the ability of a real person? Do you know that Lizang and Daojian were shown to the public in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Yang Zhi said coldly: "Lin Lingsu won't discuss scriptures and the art of war with me, right?

Zhang Ruhui was angry and angry, Yang Zhi was born as a martial artist, and he actually wanted to talk to Lin Lingsu about his home, this was a slap in the face and hit home, Zhang Ruhui shouted: "Come here, the punishment is waiting." ”

Li Yan coughed lightly and reminded: "The emperor and the crown prince have said that they can't be tortured to extract confessions. ”

Zhang Ruhui's momentum suddenly decreased, Yang Zhi bowed down and thanked Li Yan and said: "Lord Zhang, otherwise, I will bet with you, after the prince came forward to pray, the heavy rain stopped in the middle of the day." The rain didn't stop, and I drew a confession. ”

Yang Zhi remembered that the "History of the Song Dynasty" and other books recorded that after Song Qinzong burned incense and prayed, the heavy rain stopped immediately, but for the sake of safety, a day was added; Fan Zhixu secretly said interestingly, according to Yang Zhi's previous theory, even if the prince does not come forward, the heavy rain should stop, but Yang Zhi's hand will leave a deep impression on the prince Zhao Huan, Jane is in the emperor's heart, which will be of great benefit to Yang Zhi in the future.

Li Yan said coldly: "Yang Zhi, we are here today to ask about someone entering your cell and tell me what happened. ”

Yang Zhi told the story of someone coming in and going out, naturally omitting the details of his acquaintance with Uncle Yan, and pretending to be unaware; Zhang Ruhui said unbelievingly: "That old prisoner didn't tell you anything?"

Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "I don't understand what happened?"

Cai Fu interjected: "Someone bribed two jailers to enter your cell, and when he went out, he killed those two jailers and one of the prisoners who was supposed to be working. ”

Yang Zhi shrugged his shoulders and showed that he didn't know anything, and Yang Jie suddenly said: "That murderer is not trying to kill him, but to buy time to escape." The murderer's movements in the cell were not abnormal, and it was supposed to be just to see Yang Zhi's condition. I went to see the scene of the death of the three prisoners, who were given acupuncture points and were unable to do anything, but from the footprints and the posture of the jailers when they died, it is clear that the two jailers were probably killed because they were afraid of responsibility and wanted to prevent the murderers from leaving. ”

Fan Zhixuan said: "Reasonable, if you want to do something else, the jailer will never have the courage to arrange this matter, if it is just to see Yang Zhi's condition, the jailer will feel that it doesn't matter if he receives some money." Immediately let Yang Jie, Yang Zhi, and Cai Qing provide the characteristics of the murderer, draw pictures and pictures to arrest them, and raid the homes of the two jailers to see if there are any other clues. ”

Everyone agreed and dispersed, Yang Zhi was taken back to the cell, and guarded by Shuanggang, there were people from the Imperial City Division, Cai Fu did not show up for two days, but by noon on the third day, the people from the Imperial City Division left in a hurry, and the guard in the cell was also removed. Yang Zhi lay on the grass, looking at the ray of sunlight on the iron window, and smiled slightly, his life must have been saved;
