Chapter 294: Suspicious

Qin Shuhuai waved at them and said, "Okay, let's all come down, just know that it's wrong." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

If the four of them were amnesty, they all came down, and then thanked Qin Shuhuai for their kindness.

Qin Shuhuai put his feet back in the shackles, then pointed to the blood on the ground and said, "Come, get some blood, put makeup on me." ”

The four of them were stunned for a moment, but they immediately understood, and immediately dipped their hands in blood and wiped them all over Qin Shuhuai's clothes and face.

Second Master Qi is worthy of being a mixed artist, and he is very experienced in doing this. not only smeared Qin Shuhuai's blood, but also made his hair scattered, and then tore his clothes a few times, and then smeared some wall ash, so that Qin Shuhuai, who had just suffered "abuse", was freshly baked.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, Li Changtong came in with a few officials to pick up people. Seeing Qin Shuhuai, who was ragged and covered in blood, Li Changtong smiled and said, "Yo, what's the matter? Lao Qi, you didn't beat him, did you?"

Second Master Qi thought to himself, beat him, if you have the ability, you can try to beat him?

However, he still put on a customary expression on his face, and said, "Li Zhutou, we didn't beat him, he himself wanted to seek death and life, and it was too late for the brothers to pull him." ”

This is the usual dialogue between them, so Li Changtong feels that everything is as usual.

Li Changtong said with a smile, "I see, it seems that I am going to commit suicide in fear of sin, but it is so easy." ”

After speaking, he said to his subordinates, "Let's go, take him to the hall." ”

Qin Shuhuai was taken out by Li Changtong and soon arrived at the court.

Hua Shen and Zhao Quyou were already there, both of them looking bloodstained, but there was a big difference when they looked closely.

The wound on Hua Shen's body was real at first glance, so much so that when he looked at Qin Shuhuai, his eyes seemed like he was going to eat people.

In the cell where he lived last night, there were also four old prisoners, and these prisoners were also ordered by the cell boss to teach Hua Shen a good lesson. How could Hua Shen give in? Without saying a word, he would have done it with them! In normal times, it would have been more than enough for him to clean up these four prisoners by himself, but last night he was wearing shackles and hinges, and he couldn't break free with his cultivation, so his combat effectiveness was naturally greatly reduced, and the result was that all those people in the prison were beaten down by him, but he was also beaten to the point that he didn't look like a human being.

However, Zhao Quyou is different, the so-called wounds and bloodstains on his body are basically the same as Qin Shuhuai's. It seems that this guy used the same technique as Qin Shuhuai, probably beating the group of prisoners as soon as he entered.

In addition to them, there was also a group of officials standing in the public hall. There was another person sitting in the hall, lean, about fifty years old, and at first glance he was an old and cunning type.

The man snapped his eye-catching shot, and said, "Bold thief, why don't you kneel when you see this official?"

Qin Shuhuai said in his heart, Lao Tzu is the prince of Shaobao, I kneel to you, do you dare to take it?

And Hua Shen and Zhao Quyou didn't even bother to look at him.

Qin Shuhuai said, "What kind of official are you, who want me to kneel to you?"

The human, "This official is Zheng Zhidong, the general sentence of Yangzhou, and he was ordered by the prefect to try the tragedy of the Zhao family's 35 family annihilation!"

Qin Shuhuai frowned in confusion, thinking to himself Isn't it thirty-six? Why did you change it to thirty-five all of a sudden?

Zheng Zhidong said again, "Who is your surname, you are honest." ”

Qin Shuhuai said, "I am a person from Weiniujiazhuang in Tongzhou, Beijing, and I asked Niu to go to school, because I am already a Xiucai, so I can not kneel according to the law of Daming." ”

The Ming Dynasty emphasized the text, and people with merit and fame could indeed not kneel when they saw ordinary officials.

Hua Shen looked at it, and immediately said in a similar manner, "I am a person from Weihuajiagou in Tongzhou, Beijing, called spending money, and I am also a showman, so I don't kneel." ”

Zhao Quyou was even more exaggerated, and said with a hippie smile, "My old Zhao is from Tongzhou Wei Zhaojia Village, called Zhao Ye, I am better than them, I am a Jinshi, so I don't kneel." ”

Zheng Zhidong was stunned for a moment, and asked Zhao Quyoudao, "Oh, are you a Jinshi, what year?"

"Last year's. Zhao Quyou said without hesitation.

Zheng Zhidong was furious, "Bold, I didn't conduct a scientific expedition at all last year, where did I come from?"

Zhao went to Youhehe, "You don't care where I came from." Just these two stinky boys are both talented, what's wrong with Lao Tzu being a jinshi? Lao Tzu hasn't said that he is the champion. ”

At this time, Li Changtong came up and shouted, "Nonsense! Lao Tzu sees that you owe a beating!"

Zheng Zhidong said to Li Changtong, "Li Zhutou, don't be impatient." I will find out their identities, and if there is any falsehood, it will not be too late to punish them. Let's try the case first. ”

Then the conversation changed and said, "You and the other three, about the tragedy of the Zhao family's thirty-five family annihilation, are you guilty?"

Qin Shuhuai said with a smile, "I said this adult, you didn't even ask what's going on, and you came up to ask the teacher to ask for the crime, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules, right?"

"Hmph!" Zheng Zhidong snorted coldly, "This official's judgment has always been fair and honest, if there is no evidence, how can he slander you?" According to her confession, the tragedy of the Zhao Mansion was because she was found to have an affair with her family member Zhao Si, and Zhao Si was severely beaten by Master Zhao, so she held a grudge. In order to avenge the beating, and in order to raise the entanglement with Mingyue who went away, Zhao Si conspired with you and agreed to enter the Zhao Mansion together to extort a sum of money from Master Zhao. After I didn't want you to come in, I was met with stubborn resistance from the family. For fear that the matter would be revealed, you all had murderous intentions and killed the 35 members of the Zhao family! This is why only Zhao Si and Mingyue were left alive at the scene!"

Qin Shuhuai was stunned for a moment and said, "Zhao Si is still alive, what about people, call him out, I want to confront him face to face!"

Zheng Zhidong said, "You don't pretend to be confused! Then Zhao Si ran away on the night of the incident, and I was about to ask you where he went!"

Qin Shuhuai recalled carefully, at that time, the corpses of the Zhao family were counted by everyone, and it was definitely thirty-six, yes, how could there be one less?

Could it be that someone deliberately removed Zhao Si's body from the scene?

After he was taken away, the scene was taken over by officers and soldiers, so the people who did the work were people from the government? They first took away Zhao Si's body, creating the false impression that he was afraid of crime and absconding. and then tortured Mingyue to make her admit that she had an affair with Zhao Si, anyway, the real Zhao Si is dead, and there is no proof of the so-called death, which forms a complete logic. After that, based on their appearance at the scene of the crime, they listed themselves as the murderers hired by Zhao Si, so that the case could be closed!

Although he knew that the Ming officialdom was dark, Qin Shuhuai still didn't expect it to be so dark. Xindao, this matter happened to be encountered by himself, if it were someone else, it is estimated that the charge of killing the head would not be cleared even if he jumped into the Yellow River, right?

However, the people in Yangzhou Mansion were really so bold and reckless? You must know that when the case is closed in this way, it seems that they are interlocked, and they themselves were caught red-handed, which can be said to be a combination of stolen goods, but the actual reasoning is full of loopholes! For example, since Zhao Si and Mingyue had an affair, why didn't Zhao Si run away and Mingyue ran away?

Unless they are sure that after the case is reported to the Criminal Department, the people of the Criminal Department will not investigate these loopholes!

If this is the case, then the energy of the mastermind behind this incident is too great, right? With such a big figure, it is easy to kill the Zhao family according to reason, but why should he use such a low-level method as hiring murderers? What is the origin of the Zhao Mansion, and what is the real reason for the sudden annihilation?

Zheng Zhi saw that Qin Shuhuai didn't speak for a long time, and then patted the case and said, "Niu Jinxue, this official asks you! Now that Mingyue has confessed, this official advises you to invite it truthfully, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin!"

In the Ming Dynasty, the government could punish "stubborn" criminals.

Qin Shuhuai sneered, "Zheng Tongju, do you know that you have reversed black and white and bent into tricks like this?"

"Shut up! Dare to slander this official! This official asks you, were you at the scene of the crime last night? Did you still want to resist when Li Zhutou was arrested? After the fact, the 3,000 taels of silver tickets were found from you, was it that Master Zhao stored them in Yongli Qianzhuang? Now that the certified physical evidence is there, how can you allow you to quibble?"

Qin Shuhuai said speechlessly, "In order to deduct the black cauldron, you even prepared a silver ticket for me? ”

"Hmph, do you still dare to quibble until now?
