Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 483
Tongfu Inn, the elimination method is still going on.

"There are also the female relatives of the mansion." Zhu Zhen continued: "My senior brother is a respectful gentleman, so it is impossible for him to be abducted by them."

Hu Quan had already scanned all these files before, and quickly took away the confessions of Cao Canzheng's wife, only daughter, two servants, and two maidservants.

There are only six confessions left on the ground, but the sixth child still has no intention of stopping.

"Exclude the cook from Cao Shen's family as well." He ordered in a deep voice.The cook also has no ability to lure the elder brother into the well.

Can't let Liu Canzheng taste the saltiness of the dishes, isn't that nonsense?
"Let's get rid of the two servants of his family for now." Zhu Zhen pondered for a moment and said:

"Although they were able to lead the senior brother to the well, when they were looking for someone later, so many officials were present, and as two servants, they yelled through the wall, 'Liu Meng Liu Meng, has your master returned yet? ?' looked very unruly."

"It's really like this." Hu Quan clapped his hands.

Now there are only three statements left.As soon as Zhu Zhen stretched out his hand, Hu Quan quickly picked it up and presented it.

Zhu Zhen flipped through it quickly, and saw that the three of them were all officials of the Chief Secretary, and the reason they left the banquet hall at that time was to go to the latrine.The three of them said unanimously that they came back after going to the latrine and found nothing unusual.

The sixth child went through the confession again, and complained: "Why don't they have a specific time when they come in and out, it's better to arrange them in order."

"Your Highness, please be content. This confession has been recorded in detail. If it weren't for Liu Canzheng's sensitive identity, the superiors wouldn't even record whether they left the banquet hall or not." Hu Quan smiled wryly.

"Didn't Zeng Tai be ordered to inquire about the case? Let him focus on interrogating these three people first, and ask them the exact time when they left and returned." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "If you ask about the time when my senior brother disappeared, it should be another time." Can rule out one or two."

"Okay, I'll pass the message to him right now." Hu Quan looked excited, the scope narrowed down so much, and the truth is not far away.

~~
Needless to say, Xiong Qitai's execution ability is still very strong.

In the afternoon of that day, he took the imperial envoy's warrant and came to the Yamen of the Chasi Yamen.

"Hey, Xiong Fangbo, you are here, what can I teach you?" Zeng Tai, possessed by the bar spirit, seemed to have liberated his nature.

"Hey, Lao Zeng, I'm not talking about you. What's wrong with you that you insist on confronting the imperial envoy?" Xiong Qitai said speechlessly.

"Oh, I can't help myself." Zeng Tai sighed.

"Understood." Xiong Qitai nodded, thinking he was referring to the prince.He said in his heart that Shen Liben's expectations were right, the conflict between the crown prince and Hu Xiang continued to Jiangxi.

"Understood, those of us, from the bottom of our eyes, seem to be powerful officials. But in the eyes of the adults in Beijing, they are just pawns they use to fight." He patted Zeng Tai's arm sympathetically.

"Really." Zeng Tai nodded, stroked his short gray beard and said, "Look, the imperial envoy has only been here for a few days, and my beard is half white."

"To each other. My life is not easy." Xiong Qitai sighed and said, "I can't write two Thai characters in one stroke. We brothers have to help each other."

"How?" Zeng Tai asked.

"I'll try my best to speak for you at the imperial envoy, so that you won't be too blamed." Xiong Qitai said quickly, "Just like the way you and him got into a fight today, didn't it all depend on Brother Yu and me to make peace, so that there was no big trouble?"

"Thank you very much." Zeng Tai said with a half smile.

"Then why don't you stop being so serious on your side? Let's cut through the mess quickly and expose this case quickly." Xiong Qitai said persuasively, "Send the imperial envoy away earlier, so we can get down to business sooner."

"I have to be able to do business here." Zeng Tai said in a muffled voice.

"That's for sure. I didn't intend to distort the case, but I just wanted to speed it up." Xiong Qitai said with a smile: "The Imperial Envoy also meant the same thing. He asked Brother Yu to join in and help you investigate the case together."

"Would the second department have a joint trial? Wouldn't it be slower that way." Zeng Tai started to argue, "Let's try separately. Half of the trials will be done at the same time, so it's faster."

"Oh, it's just a case of accidentally falling into a well. As for penny and baht, what are you talking about?" Xiong Qitai was speechless, and then proposed: "You ask the officials according to the inspector, and our chief secretary asks the rest how to wait." ?”

"This..." Zeng Tai's barbarian soul was touched, and Xiong Qitai suddenly felt uneasy and kind.

He secretly thought, could it be that the murderer is hiding among those idlers?It must be like this, otherwise how could he arrange it like this?
"Your company should ask the official." Zeng Tai said casually. "They're all colleagues, it's a disgrace to let the judiciary interrogate."

"Ah, it's not necessary, after all, you are more professional..." Xiong Qitai evaded.

"That's it." Zeng Tai said more and more firmly: "I believe in the level of the vassal."

"Oh, okay." Xiong Qitai held back his smile and nodded solemnly.

In fact, this was the result he wanted. He knew that Zeng Tai would definitely fight, so he deliberately did the opposite, and it didn't happen.

~~
Over there, Xiong Qitai took the officials who were sent for questioning back to the chief secretary's yamen with the warrant.

Here Zeng Tai rolled up his sleeves, ready to start interrogating those idlers, and was determined to find out the murderer.

The interrogation lasted until dark, and the long follower quietly entered the interrogation room, and whispered in his ear, "Aimu Qiba Xingyun has come again."

Zeng Tai nodded, motioned his subordinates to continue questioning, then walked out of the interrogation room unhurriedly, and returned to the back house to meet the visitor.

This time Dijia didn't come, but his uncle.

"Dare to ask Uncle Nanchang, what orders do you have?" Zeng Tai's tone revealed a refined temperament.

"Is it you who interrogated those involved?" Hu Quan asked with a frown.

"Yes, it's under trial. I'm afraid it will last all night tonight." Gang Jing said, "It's really hard."

"That's great, we don't need to review them all." Hu Quan wrote down three names with a pen, pushed the paper to Gang Jing and said, "Just focus on reviewing these three first."

"Don't tell me sooner..." Zeng Tai was overjoyed when he heard the words, and the workload was much lighter now.

As he spoke, he looked at the three names on the paper with the help of the light, and couldn't help being stunned: "Should I say it sooner..."

"You complain so much, is it necessary to say it twice?" Hu Quan said displeased.

"No, the two 'don't say it sooner' mean two things." Zeng Tai shook his head and smiled wryly: "The first one is to express his resentment for doing futile work. The second is to say that Uncle said it late. The three of them have been taken away by Xiong Qitai."

Hu Quan was furious when he heard the words: "What the hell are you doing?"

"Oh...don't mention it, I'm shooting myself in the foot with a stone." Zeng Tai also knew that he had been fooled, and said with a face full of poop: "Xiong Qitai said that there will be a joint trial, but I said separate trials. He told me to interrogate the official, but I let him interrogate, and just let him take people away..."

"I'll give you a lung." Hu Quan rolled his eyes. "You big stick!"
