I have been experimenting with medicine in the Palace of Longevity for 30 years

Chapter 118 Asking the Mind Mirror (for Subscription)
"Passing and beating people to the bull list!"

Lou Hai gave an order, and a hunched watchman in his fifties was brought into the hall.

"Niu Pu, tell me in detail what you saw the night before yesterday."

Lou Hai ordered.

The watchman named Niu Pu glanced at He Pingan who was standing next to him, and suddenly became terrified, and wanted to run down the hall.

"Bold!"

Lou Hai shouted sharply: "How can you move around at will in the courtroom!"

"I ask you something, if you don't answer, I will punish you for false accusation!"

When Niu Pu heard this, he shuddered and falsely accused him of sitting on the ground. This is the crime of beheading, and he must not be able to afford it.

It's dead anyway, Niu Pu bravely stood under the hall, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, my little one, as soon as he entered the door that night, he saw the man next to him who had just chopped up Laifu with a knife, and immediately killed him." The villain fainted from fright."

He Ping'an's face twitched for a while, why did these words sound so familiar.

"You can see clearly, is it the person next to you?"

Lou Hai asked.

"The villain could see clearly that it was him. At that time, he slashed Lai Fu's neck with a knife, and the blood flowed out more than three feet high."

Niu Pu pretended to be brave, looked at He Pingan carefully, and then said affirmatively.

Speaking of this, Lou Hai looked at He Pingan and said, "He Pingan, you can hear me clearly, what do you want to say?"

He Pingan cleared his throat and said, "Master Lou, I have three questions. First, who is the blessing he is talking about?"

"The second question, this watchman, how did he know who I am?"

"The third question is, since the watchman entered the yard at that time, I killed Laifu, why did I let him go instead?"

He Pingan actually knew something, but he needed to pretend not to understand at this time, so as to appear innocent and ignorant.

What's more, he covered the entire Majiazhuang with his spiritual consciousness at that time, and the watchman was indeed in Majiazhuang, but he hid under the eaves to avoid the cold wind, and he never went near the house where Liu Ruoxiang was imprisoned.

Moreover, the person who did it was also Lu Yong, not himself at all.

Therefore, there must be something wrong with what the watchman said.

"Okay, I will answer your questions one by one for you."

"Laifu is a nursing home of Lichun Hospital, and he is also a native of Majiazhuang. The night before, we received a report from the watchmen. We went to Majiazhuang to investigate and found that three people died in the yard of Laifu's home. , blood stained the ground, all of them are the nurses of Lichun Hospital."

"The three people died with different injuries. One died of excessive blood loss, and the other two died of having their throats cut with a knife."

"One of them, Laifu, had his throat cut and died."

He Pingan nodded and did not speak. The reason why he left the body that day was to warn the people of Lichun Court not to be too decisive in doing things.

In his mind, this warning was serious enough, and Li Chunyuan should retreat in spite of the difficulties and choose to settle the matter, after all, it would not be good for anyone if this matter were revealed.

Unexpectedly, although the other party did not make a move, he chose to let the watchman report the crime.

This matter, he thought with his ass, and there must be people from Lichun Courtyard behind it.

"The second question is because we checked the exit record of the city gate. The night before, you were the only one who left Xuanyang with Lu Yong and the token of the Hall of Eternal Life."

He Pingan nodded and didn't say much.

There will be a curfew in Xuanyang City at night, and the gates will be closed.

But the token of the Hall of Eternal Life can be unimpeded.

That night, he took Lu Yong with him, and it was difficult to use his full strength, so he had to pretend to be a sixth-rank martial artist. When he went out, he used the token of the Hall of Longevity, and then went out from the city.

Therefore, it is normal for the Jingzhao government to find out.

But that doesn't mean he left the city, he did it himself.

If someone is outside the city, they can also do the case.

I will explain this later, and there is no need to say more at this time. The key is the witness's testimony.

"The third question, according to Niu Pu, the watchman, you just killed the third person at that time, and you seemed to have suffered a little injury, so you took Lu Yong away, so you didn't pay attention to Niu Pu who fainted."

Lou Hai answered all the questions, then looked at He Pingan and said, "Do you have any questions?"

He Pingan went on to say: "My lord, I think there is a problem. I am a sixth-rank martial artist, and my martial arts spiritual sense can observe the surroundings. If I kill someone and leave, why can't I find him as a watchman?"

Lou Hai said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I have specially invited the Confucian questioning mirror. After a while, let Niu Pu walk around, and you will know whether he is lying or not."

The Mirror of Questioning Mind is a Confucian magic tool that can point directly at people's hearts, and it is Daxuan's sharp interrogation tool. With this magic tool, there are very few cases that cannot be solved.

However, Emperor Daxuan and Xuanming made the rules back then, asking Xinjing what he asked could only be used as supporting evidence, not directly as a basis for conviction.

"Besides, you also have a motive for killing."

"It is said that Bao Hui from the Lichun Court is in the hall!"

As soon as Lou Hai finished speaking, several yamen servants came up to the hall with a forty-something old lady who was still charming.

"Bao Hui, tell me about the relationship between Lu Yong and Liu Ruoxiang."

Lou Hai ordered.

"Yes, my lord!"

This middle-aged lady named Bao Hui came up to the hall, glanced at He Pingan, and then said calmly: "The thief Lu Yong likes Liu Ruoxiang, the courtesan in the courtyard, and Xiang'er was also attracted by his talent at first." , but later realized that this person could not give her happiness, so with the help of a peasant woman, I met a rich man outside the city."

"After he learned that Xiang'er was going to marry a rich man, he went to the Lichun courtyard many times to threaten him. According to a guard in the courtyard, Lu Yong lied to Mr. He Ping'an the night before, and then took this Mr. He has left the city."

"On the second day, we received a message from Jingzhao Mansion saying that three of our nurses died in Majiazhuang."

"Even our Xiang'er is gone, the women probably have been murdered by them too, woo woo woo"

Bao Hui held a silk scarf in his hand and wept softly there. Even He Pingan couldn't help but praise when he saw it.

There are several old bustards in Lichun Courtyard, this old bustard named Bao Hui, He Ping'an has seen it occasionally, but he is not familiar with it.

"He Pingan, what else do you have to say?"

Lou Hai asked, staring at He Pingan with burning eyes.

"My lord, I feel that I can't just listen to one side of the story."

"Will I help Lu Yong kill someone just because of one word?"

He Ping'an said: "Why don't you tell Lu Yong to the hall and ask him."

"Okay, as you wish."

Lou Hai didn't hesitate, he winked, and naturally several guards went to bring Lu Yong over.

Lu Yong was brought up to the hall, his face looked haggard, but there was no external injury on his body, it should be because of his fame and fame, so it was not easy for Lou Hai to torture him.

If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that they have already received countless whips at this time.

"Lu Yong, are you guilty?"

Lou Hai asked.

With grief and indignation on his face, Lu Yong said, "My lord, what's wrong with Xiaosheng."

"Could it be that Xiaosheng and Master He killed those people just because Xiaosheng and Master He talked about the matter with Xiang'er."

As soon as He Pingan heard it, he felt confident. It seems that the explanation given to Lu Yong after killing people that day still had some effect.

No matter who asks anything, they will not admit it, and it is best not to speak.

Lou Hai said: "Lu Yong, I think you have a great reputation, so you didn't use the Mirror of Questioning, but at this time, if you don't explain it, you can't avoid the Mirror of Questioning."

Hearing this, Lu Yong's expression turned ugly, and he was speechless for a while.

There was a smug smile in the eyes of the procuress next to her. She was punished by the behind-the-scenes boss of Lichun Courtyard because of Liu Ruoxiang's incident. Now she saw Lu Yong being tried and even arrested and beheaded. She was extremely happy.

Those oirans who dared to rob my mother and even killed her, if you don’t die, my mother will stop selling seafood in the future!

"My lord, Xiaosheng is willing to go to the Mirror of Inquiry."

At this moment, Lu Yong suddenly spoke.
