Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 192 Zhongzheng has arrived!
"Ji Fu, you still haven't admitted your guilt?!"

After Ji Fuben answered the question, he stood aside with peace of mind.

In the past few days, he has gained a good reputation as a survivor. After all, he was Zhuge Yan's servant, and he was so loyal at the time. He was naturally a model and worthy of publicity.

Therefore, not only did he receive good care and consultations from famous doctors in the city, but he also received various commendations and condolences from all parties, as well as the envy and admiration of his colleagues. This mentality has long since changed, and he is living a good life. Because of the comfort, I lost my vigilance.

Today's inquiry, in Ji Fucheng's view, was just a routine matter. Even after the inquiry was over, the previous development was exactly as he expected. Just as Tingwei was finishing the inquiry, he really asked him to cultivate himself. Although his tone did not change, there was no change in his tone. Ji Fu heard that it was also a comfort, so he relaxed his mind. Now that his name was suddenly called, especially from the mouth of the majestic Ting Weizheng, he confessed to himself, which made him a little confused!

Immediately, Ji Fu knelt down on the ground like a reflex, and said in a panic: "The villain is guilty!"

But after he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He raised his head with confusion, looked at Zhang Ruo, and asked with a puzzled face: "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed."

"You still don't admit it?" Zhang Ruo shook his head, his expression did not change, but his eyes were a bit colder, "Do you think that what you did is unnoticed by others? It's a pity that you can't hide it from the eyes of mediocre officials, but you can't hide it. The power of the law!”

Yu Liang's eyelids twitched, he glared at Zhang Ruo, and then at Ji Fu, his eyes were cold.

These righteous words made Ji Fu's heart tremble and he fell into panic. However, he knew that once the truth was exposed, it would be a life-and-death situation, and even his relatives would be implicated, so he forced himself to calm down and shook his head: " I really don’t know what the Heavenly Official’s words mean.”

"I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. It just so happens that the county guard and others are here, so I will explain this matter clearly so that people know the majesty of the law and will not be buried due to conspiracy," Zhang Ruo sneered. He said, "You can't hide your tricks from those who are interested. Mr. Chen, please explain the matter clearly." At the end of the sentence, Zhang Ruo turned to look at Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi nodded, stood up, and saluted everyone present.

Ji Fu quickly asked for help: "Mr. Chen, you are a capable person. You must prove the villain's innocence. The villain is loyal to the young master. The young master's life is more important than mine. I really don't know what the heavenly official means!" "Chen Zhi once visited this "loyal servant" while he was recuperating in Wobing Tower, which is why Ji Fu begged like this. However, Ji Fu felt more and more uneasy and frightened because Chen Zhi's reputation for solving the case had been spread throughout the past few days. Pengcheng and Ji Fu naturally heard about it and were also worried about what Chen Zhizhen would say.

Chen Zhi ignored the plea and pointed at Ji Fu: "There are many loopholes in what this person said. That day Wang Mi attacked and everyone in the backyard died, but this person survived. I became suspicious, and later I visited him on an excuse. After asking him a few questions, I have seen the man's wounds, so I can conclude that the wounds were caused by himself, and this Ji Fu is actually a traitor of the Zhuge family!"

Xu Hui and others were very surprised at first. The servants who could study with Zhuge Yan must be trustworthy and the confidants of the family. However, a traitor turned out to be a traitor. Of course, it was unexpected. I don't know how he was bribed.

But they soon calmed down again, and the reason was very simple, because this conclusion was made by Chen Zhi.

If Zhang Ruo made such a conclusion, everyone would be doubtful and would not believe it until Zhang Ruo produced evidence to prove it. But Chen Zhi was different. He had told everyone the facts for four days, and his ability to solve cases was far beyond imagination. .

"I won't go into any unnecessary arguments. Someone will confirm it." Chen Zhi was also polite and skipped a few steps because with his reputation, no one thought he was fooling. "Combined with the words of leader Zhuge Jing, combined with the entire From the fact that everyone in the backyard was killed, it can be seen that those who raided Wobing Tower that day were actually a well-trained small army. They had mastered the ability to kill with one blow, so that they could kill all the servants in the backyard in the shortest time. It didn't even alarm the people in the building. Under such circumstances, it is very strange that Ji Fu, an ordinary servant, could escape with his life without being fatally injured."

As Chen Zhi spoke, his eyes fell on Ji Fu, and he continued: "If you pay attention to the wounds of the people killed in the backyard, you will find that most of the fatal wounds are on the neck, and some have more than one fatal wound, which shows that The thief had a last-ditch wound afterwards, which shows that he is an experienced thief, but Ji Fu’s wound was very strange, it was on his leg, and there was no last-ditch wound, which doesn’t make sense.”

At this point, he stopped talking.

Ji Fu was already trembling with fear, his face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and the blood vessels under his skin could be seen.

exposed!
All of a sudden, he lost all hope.

Looking at his expression, everyone understood that this so-called loyal servant turned out to be a traitor, so he could survive.

With the conclusion that there is a traitor hiding in Zhuge's family, many things can be explained.

For example, the guards of the Zhuge family would be defeated so quickly.

According to Zhuge Jing, after they were raided, they may have quickly fallen into a disadvantage due to the sudden incident, but in fact, it was entirely possible that someone had tampered with their food before the thieves raided, causing their physical strength to decline. If the combat power is reduced, you will naturally be defeated.

This can also be seen from the expressions of Zhuge Jing and others——

From Zhuge Jing on down, all the guards of the Zhuge family were staring at Ji Fu with different expressions. Some were pensive, some were recalling, some were angry, and some even showed hatred. However, the habit of enforcing orders and prohibitions made them restrain themselves. He kept his emotions in check and did not take any drastic action, waiting for the superiors to deal with him.

Xu Hui and others sighed, glanced at Chen Zhi, secretly praised in their hearts, and then followed Zhang Ruo. Chen Zhi could solve the case, but how to deal with it must be decided by the special envoy.

Yu Liang squinted his eyes and said nothing, waiting for Zhang Ruo's decision, but what was going on in his mind was unknown to others.

But Zhang Ruo, who was attracting everyone's attention, had no intention of speaking and instead looked at Chen Zhi. "What? Isn't the conclusion finished yet? Do you still want to ask why Ji Fu betrayed Zhuge Yan this time?"

There must be many reasons why a servant betrays the master's family, especially the master's family at the top of the world, but it involves family ugliness. It is too inquisitive. It is definitely not a good thing to know too much. It is best to wait for them to avoid it before asking.

Amid the doubts of several people, Chen Zhi spoke again and asked Ji Fu: "Actually, what I want to know more is, are you Wang Mi's traitor?"

Ji Fu suddenly trembled.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Hui and others were startled at first, and then their expressions changed. Even Yu Liang, who had already made a guess, his eyes flickered, realizing the blind spots in his previous thinking.

Is Ji Fu Wang Mi's traitor?
of course not!

What he betrayed was Zhuge's family, and the one who can buy this person may not be Wang Mi, or in other words, it must not be Wang Mi!
Wang Mi is a thief. Not to mention that he has just been defeated and is in full decline. Even when he was at his peak, he traveled across two states and robbed the rich. What qualifications does such a person have to bribe the Zhuge family's servants?
Suddenly, Xu Hui and others fell silent. They understood the deep meaning behind these words.

This attack on Zhuge was indeed not the work of the traitors, and there was an inside story behind it. However, in this situation, even local officials should not get involved, otherwise there may be consequences.

Immediately, Xu Hui and others regretted paying attention to the case.

Fortunately, after Chen Zhi asked this question, he sat back on his seat and did not go into details any more. He followed Zhang Ruo and waved his sleeves and shouted: "Take this evil slave who seeks glory behind the Lord's back and keep him under strict supervision!"

"promise!"

Immediately, two burly guards came up, held down Ji Fu, and dragged him down.

"Spare your life! Ting Wei is sparing your life!" Ji Fudong shouted and struggled, but he could not break free. In the end, only two shouts were left in the hall.

Xu Hui and the others sat still, watching their eyes, nose, and heart. They felt a little relieved, knowing that they didn't need to know too much.

They knew very well that the case had its context up to this point, and the court's review was a complete success. Next, it was time for Zhang Ruo to summarize the case and commend the outstanding individual. Don't ask about this individual, it was naturally Chen Zhi.

"The situation has become clear. Wang Mi is just a murderer, and there is a real culprit behind it. If you want to find out, it all falls on Ji Fu. Let me handle the rest of the matter. The previous I have already gotten a lot of clues from interrogating the thief, and after questioning Ji Fu and comparing them with each other, I will definitely be able to find out the true story!"

The summary was a summary, but the person who summarized it was beyond Xu Hui and others' expectations, because it was Na Yu Liang who said this!

The scene was suddenly very strange.

It was Zhang Ruo who convened the court hearing, and Chen Zhi who was trying to get rid of the cocoon. In the end, before the two of them had time to speak, Yu Liang, who had been silent all the time, rushed to speak, and the meaning of his words was very clear. He wanted to compete for Ji Fu. Interrogation dominance!

This is a blatant grab for credit!
Even Zhang Ruo's expression changed, and he said coldly: "Yu Congguan, your arrest of the thief went very smoothly. Why not continue? This is also a good starting point. Maybe you can gain something. As for..."

"I have to take responsibility for this matter," Yu Liang stood up and smiled. "Because I arrested the thief and interrogated him one after another, I knew that if I was not careful, something would go wrong. This matter is of great importance. , there is no room for error, you can't teach it to people who have no grades, right? I don't trust it!" He pointed at Chen Zhi with an arrogant expression, "This Wang Mi case concerns the legitimate son of the Marquis of Wuxiang. This should not be allowed to happen. Waiting for unworthy people to attend the meeting was disruptive to the order. I only tolerated it for Zhang Zheng's sake. Should I let him go beyond his duties and hand over all the thieves with important involvements to him for interrogation? Then I have to say, Zhang Zheng, you are confused!"

These words confounded the main point of right and wrong. It was clearly a traitor that Chen Zhi found out, but Yu Liang said that he was disrupting order and overstepping his authority.

Chen Zhi smiled, knowing that Yu Liang was making a dangerous move and could not find any other reason. He could only use his different status to seize the initiative and the commanding heights. In fact, it was untenable at all. He was about to say a few words. .

But Yu Liang looked directly at him and said with a smile: "What? Who in this room is not a decent person? You don't even have a local reputation, so you have no qualifications to speak. It was because you had some expertise in solving cases that I let you Just say a few words and I advise you not to be ignorant of the importance!"

In one sentence, Chen Zhi was directly suppressed from a position of assistance to a helper who could be called upon.

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, a little anger rising in his heart.

Just at this time, a voice came from outside——

"The county is arriving!"
