Magician little princess

Chapter 21

When Bai Xiuyu was leaving, Zhuge Xueying took a look at the flat sundial, and there was a small crystal round stone on it, which rolled without anyone's urging.

Three days after the murder of Zhao Xinglong, the treasurer of Mingyue Tower in the imperial capital, a funeral was held in Zhao's house on East Street. Because Zhao Xinglong was kind and friendly, and Mingyue Tower was famous far and wide, countless people went to offer incense on the day of the funeral.

At the same time, the government is also trying its best to track down the murderer.

At noon, the guests were eating, and in the mourning hall, Zhao Xinglong's wife and son, as well as some brothers, sisters and younger generations of the family were also crying.

Liang Bao led the officials into the mourning hall. The presiding officer gave each of them a stick of incense. Liang Bao and his party first worshiped and accepted the worship of the relatives of the deceased, and then they waited for the burial.

There are burial rules everywhere, and the time of burial in the ancient capital of Loulan must be before Shenshi, so a group of people waited until the coffin was put into the coffin before it was considered a temporary lull.

It was only after Liang Bao was buried that he really got to the point - who is the murderer!
But beyond everyone's expectations, Liang Bao took Zhao Xinglong's son Zhao Yi away with an official document from the government, and Jiang Ning, Mingyuelou's buddy, was also taken away.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard, but the official document clearly stated that Zhao Yi and Jiang Ning were the suspects.

When they were taken to the yamen, their relatives and others hadn't reacted yet, some neighbors were already cursing, and without exception they said that Zhao Yi was an unfilial son, but he didn't expect him to kill his own father.

The yamen takes over the case, and the next step is the prisoner's own crimes. If the charge is drawn, the trial can start. As for the method the officials will use to get the prisoner to confess, only they themselves know.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao naturally also got the news. Even though she didn't attend the funeral of shopkeeper Zhao, Liang Bao still sent someone to tell her that the murderer had been caught, and if she had any questions, she could go to the prison to interrogate with him.

This is an obvious provocation, but the fact that Zhuge Xiaoxiao will go does not mean that she accepts his provocation, but to go and see the so-called "evidence".

Zhuge Xiaoxiao let Wu Shixi act as a messenger once, and the person he invited was Ouyang Shaoqing, because he was the original courier.

"Uncle Master...just want me to go together?" Ouyang Shaoqing was a little dazed.

"Yes, Senior Brother Ouyang." Wu Shixi replied with a smile.

Bai Xiuyu slowly clasped the teacup table with his fingers, his eyes were unpredictable, Guanyue took a step back calmly, Sihu felt a little cold.

Ouyang Shaoqing looked at Bai Xiuyu, and only heard him say slowly: "In this case, Ouyang, you should go quickly, it would be best to help Miss Zhuge."

The chill extended from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and Ouyang Shaoqing's scalp felt a little numb, but he followed Wu Shiyi to the Yamen.

"My lord..." Yinhu hesitated and shouted, but was ignored by women, this was probably the first time for their lords.

Bai Xiuyu glanced at him sideways, his eyes were very gentle, but it made the hairs on Yinhu's whole body stand on end, and he held back what he was going to say later.

Bai Xiuyu walked outside, Zhuge Xiaoxiao just wanted Ouyang Shaoqing to go to the prison together, but no one stipulated that he couldn't watch, right?As for where to watch, that is his own idea.

Regardless of whether it is the most prosperous imperial capital or not, the prison is not much different from other places.

There was an unpleasant musty smell in the prison, mixed with the faint smell of rust and damp, which made people very uncomfortable.

Originally, Liang Bao wanted to take the opportunity to taunt Zhuge with a smile, but he didn't expect her to be so calm when she walked into the prison, as if those women felt like throwing up when they smelled it, and she didn't feel anything at all.

Didn't Zhuge Xiaoxiao smell that strange smell?That is of course impossible, as long as a person has no problem with his sense of smell, he can naturally smell all kinds of smells.Not only can Zhuge Xiaoxiao smell such an obvious smell, but she can also smell subtle smells.

Although the smell here is not good, it is still within her acceptable range.

There are so many people complaining about injustice in the prison, and the officials in the prison greet you with a whip. There is no need to talk about benevolence, justice and morality here. As long as you are a prisoner and you have not received special care, you have the right to beat me if you shout. you!

Along the way, there were all kinds of prisoners, and finally, they landed in Zhao Yi's cell.The two share a cell, but Jiang Ning is not in the same cell as Zhao Yi, and Jiang Ning is locked in the cell opposite him.

Seeing Zhuge smiling, Zhao Yi rushed over immediately, "Miss San, I was wronged, I didn't kill my father... I was wronged, you have to believe me..."

Zhao Yi looked very weak at first, his face was pale and a little scary, and it was even more so after he was imprisoned.He was still wearing filial piety, and because of kowtowing and piling up graves, there was a lot of dirt on his body.There is a lot of cyan stubble on his chin, his hair is a little messy, and his eyes are full of red. If people don't know it, they will think that he has been greatly abused.

"It's not a matter of belief or not, what I want is evidence." Zhuge smiled and walked forward and said, "If you can prove your alibi to me, I don't think Catcher Liang will wrong innocent people .”

Liang Bao's mouth twitched, and he said, "Miss San doesn't need to waste his efforts in vain. He has no proof of his absence. If you don't believe me, Miss San can ask him in person after taking him to Xiaguan for interrogation."

The interrogation of prisoners was originally a matter for officials, but most of the time it was also done by arresting the head, and finally it was decided by the official in court.

Zhao Yi was the one who was interrogated first. Jiang Ning, who was in the cell opposite him, was biting his lips tightly and his face was pale. Zhuge Xiaoxiao glanced at him when he left, but he didn't see it.

The separate waiting room is not like when the public security officers in the socialist society have chairs for the suspects to sit in when they are being interrogated by the public security officers. Instead, people are directly tied up for interrogation.At this time, there were many tortures to extract confessions, but now Zhuge Xiaoxiao is here...

The prisoners outside were whistling one after another, because most of the suspects who entered the waiting room came out with only half their lives left.
