Gu Shenwei stood up and felt that the game should be over. He pointed at Zhang Jier who was lying on the ground and said, "He couldn't have killed him." To Zhang Jier, this sentence was like dew after a long drought. His forehead touched the ground to express his agreement. Zhang You knelt there and showed no reaction. Pang Jing glanced at Luo Cong, the expression on his face said, "Look, I told you, this is the Dragon King." Only Luo Cong showed emotion. Looking interested, "Oh, based on the confessions of these two people, Mr. Gu has solved the case? If Yan Changshi was not killed by him, who could it be? He couldn't stab himself with a dagger after taking poison, right?" " I want to ask something first." Gu Shenwei said. "Excuse me." "Whose is the dagger stuck in Yan Qin's chest?" "I have already checked. The dagger belongs to Yan Changshi himself. It is a tribute tribute from other countries. It is studded with many jewels. Assassin Obviously he is not a money-loving person." Gu Shenwei no longer had any doubts in his mind. "Zhang Jier's words are very reasonable. If he was the poisoner, why would he bother to use a dagger to kill people?" "Maybe it is because he is afraid that the poison will not be effective." "No, Yan Qin was sitting in a stable posture with no signs of struggle. There was almost no blood on the wound on his chest. The dagger was inserted after he died." Luo Cong had never been to the scene and cast a questioning look at a sergeant. The sergeant nodded, indicating that what Gu Shenwei said was true. "This is indeed a question. Why stab another dagger on the dead body?" Luo Cong frowned slightly. Pang Jing sneered, "I have a ready explanation. The poison was to kill Yan Changshi quietly, and the dagger was to attract everyone's attention so that people could see that he was assassinated. Zhang Ji'er is a young man. He was weak. He was afraid that he would not be able to succeed with just the dagger, so he used both of them. Zhang Jier finally saw a glimmer of hope, and regardless of the pain, he shouted: "It's not me, it's not me. Mr. Yan likes that dagger very much." I usually keep it. I don¡¯t even know where it is.¡± Such an explanation was of course not very convincing. Luo Cong thought for a while before saying, ¡°It¡¯s still wrong. If this is a trap set by Zihe, it should be. It is unreasonable to trigger it after taking advantage of Mr. Gu. It is unreasonable to insert a dagger to attract everyone's attention too soon." Pang Jing stopped talking. He knew his status and did not want to argue with General Yu Lin, who held military power, but in his heart. Disapproval. Luo Cong suddenly smiled. "What am I still thinking about? Doesn't Mr. Gu already know the truth? I am all ears. If you are really right, Mr. Gu will create a miracle and Zhang Jier will be cleared of suspicion. If I make a contribution, I will kill three birds with one stone. There will be benefits for both. Only Zihe's conspiracy has failed." He said this, but in his heart he disagreed with it. The smile on his face became more and more forgiving, indicating that Gu Shenwei could say anything. "Zhang Ji'er." Gu Shenwei said. "The villain is here." "You were lying just now." "The villain dare not lie." "You clearly know where the dagger is, why do you say you don't know?" "Villain villain" "You are How could Yan Qin not know where his beloved thing is hidden? Does Yan Qin have to go get it himself if he wants to appreciate it? " "I, I can't remember" Zhang Jier's voice became weaker and weaker. , I can no longer make up lies. Luo Cong and Pang Jing looked at each other in surprise, neither of them understood what Gu Shenwei was trying to do to excuse Zhang Jier. Still want to prove that he is the murderer. "This is your only chance now." Gu Shenwei looked at the fifteen-year-old eunuch lying on the ground, and couldn't help but think about how much impact the pressure of survival would have on a person, "General Luo is not from the palace, and you don't I heard, what he wants is the truth. It's not a conspiracy. If you still refuse to tell the truth here, you will never have a chance again. " "Sir what do you want me to tell you?" Even in the most unfavorable situation, Zhang Jier. He still arranged a way out for himself, using the word "give" to imply that he couldn't help himself, so that he would have an excuse to go back on his word in the future. Gu Shenwei would not be fooled, so he turned to Luo Cong and said, "Zhang Jier refuses to tell the truth. I suggest that he continue to be tortured. Also, since this is Dali Temple, we should call the chief registrar and others to record every sentence of his confession." "It's all recorded and cannot be changed." "Well, that should be the case." A sergeant left the main hall and quickly called seven or eight officials, each holding a written document and saluting Luo Cong and Pang Jing. Only Dali stood on one side. With the temple minister away, he couldn't accept the Yulin army and went home early in the morning to avoid the embarrassment. Zhang Jier kept crying out, but when the executioner chose a thicker stick and prepared to execute him again, he couldn't hold on any longer, "?If you fight, I will attack you, I will attack you all. Luo Cong sighed, "I also said that sticks are useful, but it turns out that the beating should be light. I'll give him a few sticks first to punish him for the crime he deliberately concealed before." "The executioners at Dali Temple were more professional than Sergeant Yulin. They hit Zhang Jier five times with a stick on the area where her thigh was still intact. The skin was torn and both legs were stained red, but no fatal injuries were caused. "The stick just fell on the first blow, Zhang Jier began to confess, "To be honest Ouch the dagger Ouch I stabbed Mr. Yan Ouch in the chest with the dagger but he had already Ouch Dead, poison Ouch it has nothing to do with me. " Luo Cong waved his hand to stop the executioner and asked Gu Shenwei: "Do you think he is telling the truth? " "Well, I believe this is the truth. " "This is strange. Luo Cong pointed at Zhang Ji'er on the ground, "Since Yan Changshi has been poisoned and died, why do you need to stab him again?" Do you have a personal grudge against him? " "no no. "Zhang Jier wiped her tears and said with pain: "Mr. Yan is as kind as a mountain to the villain. He has no personal grudges. I justjust" "Just what? " "I found out that Mr. Yan was dead, and I was very scared. I didn't know that he was poisoned at the time. I only knew that he died strangely. I thought that I was the only one guarding the door. Since I was Mr. Yan's personal person, he would definitely be charged afterwards. On my head, so so I found the dagger and stabbed Yan Gong in the heart. "The surrounding officials looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Zhang Jier meant by these words. They waited for a long time before writing down the notes. But Luo Cong suddenly realized, "You are really a smart little monkey, you can change your mind very quickly. Afraid that Yan Changshi's death was too common and no one cared about it at the time, but a few days later the accusation would be placed on you, leaving you with no way to defend yourself, so you just inserted a dagger and made the matter bigger, right? " "Yes, the villain has an idea. He thinks that as long as the government office outside the palace participates in the investigation, the real culprit may be found and I can get rid of the suspicion. ¡± The relationship in the palace was complicated. Zhang Jier was worried that Yan Qin¡¯s death was a palace conspiracy, so he came up with such a trick, hoping to introduce external forces to investigate the case. Only then did everyone in Dali Temple understand, and they couldn¡¯t help but feel sorry for this "little monkey spirit". "Looking at each other with admiration. Luo Cong continued to ask: "In that case, why didn't you tell the whole truth in front of me just now? " "The villain didn't understand the situation for a while. He always wanted to see the adults in Dali Temple and tell the truth. "Zhang Jier was very cautious. It had never happened before that General Yu Lin came to Dali Temple to try a case in person. He was afraid that this was part of a conspiracy, so he did not dare to speak until Gu Shenwei saw through his tactics and added the big stick. After threatening him, he told the truth. ¡°The little monkey is so smart that I don¡¯t even know whether to believe him. Luo Cong also stood up and said, "Mr. Gu, please forgive me, it's you who are presiding over the case now. I always take the spotlight, so you can ask the question next." " Gu Shenwei slightly shrugged, "The next thing is very simple. The doors and windows of Yan Qin's room are closed tightly. The only person who can poison her is the people around her. If it's not Zhang Ji'er, it's naturally the last person who served Yan Qin. " Zhang You had been trembling. Then he raised his head and said loudly: "Dragon King, I know we had enmity in the Western Regions, but you can't frame me like this. "He immediately called out "Dragon King" when he was anxious, and he and Gu Shenwei had no grudges in the Western Regions. Gu Shenwei knew better. He knew a little about Zhang You and knew how to make him speak the truth, "Luo General, I'm afraid I'm going to have to use a stick again. " "I am the little yellow gatekeeper in the palace, who dares to hit me? "Zhang You was anxious. He had forgotten that Yan Qin, his biggest backer, was dead. A low-level position like the Xiaohuang Sect couldn't scare anyone. Luo Cong snorted coldly, "I have His Majesty's imperial edict in my hand to search for Shifang. You teach demons, you can judge princes at the top, and kill common people at the bottom. Who do you think you are, and you dare to be arrogant in front of me? "The sergeant only listened to the general's order. Someone had already brought the stick, and he was just waiting for Luo Cong to give the order. The bloody example was lying next to him, and Zhang You's courage had long been frightened. "General, calm down. General, listen to me. Word. Luo Cong found that he was "taking the spotlight" again, so he took a step back and said, "I have something to say to Mr. Gu." " "Dragon King. Zhang You screamed, in the same tone as he had six years ago in Biyu City, "I can't help myself. If I tell the truth, I will definitely die You won't get any benefits either General, General Luo, I can't speak, You know in your heart" Luo Cong was furious, "What do I know in my heart? You are such an insidious villain. You have committed the evil act of killing your master. Do you still want to drag me into the trap? Hit me, hit me hard. "The sergeant was strong, but not as capable as the Dali Temple executioner. With just a few sticks, Zhang You's legs were broken into three or four pieces. He howled like a slaughtering pig, interspersed with his confession, "Empress Dowager! The Queen MotherI have the ability to give you the order" All the officials in Dali Temple were shocked. They stopped writing and looked around. They regretted participating in this trial. Luo Cong winked, and the sergeant knocked Zhang You unconscious with a stick. " You can retreat. "Luo Cong gave the order, and all the officials rushed out as if they had been pardoned. "I admire you, I admire you. Everything is as expected by Mr. Gu. Luo Cong cupped his hands and said, "But nothing has changed. The Empress Dowager's idea must have been given by Zihe. They have made up their mind to get rid of you afterwards. Do you still want to be their pawn?" " Gu Shenwei has never thought about being a pawn for anyone. In his eyes, Luo Cong and Zihe are the same people, so he said to Pang Jing: "The next person I want to see is the Empress Dowager. . " Pang Jing snorted, not knowing whether to agree or reject, as if he didn't know which side he should be on, Princess Huaping as his wife, or the Queen Mother, his sister with whom they have a normal relationship.
