Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

"Zhang Dun, this is trouble!"

Tang Jian leaned against the counter as if all his strength had been exhausted, and said with a pale face, "Yu Tao is the young minister of Taichang Temple, and according to the law, he cannot arrest anyone."

"It's already against the rules for our Jingzhao Mansion to arrest him, and now he's dead in Jingzhao Mansion, even if you and I have a hundred mouths, we still can't tell the difference!"

Zhang Dun looked solemn, Tang Jian's words were on point.

Mu Qingcang treated her daughter's illness. The genius doctor not only failed to improve her daughter's condition, but made it worse. It was indeed Yu Tao who was behind it.

However, there is no proof!

Even if we find those miraculous doctors who once treated Mu Qingcang's daughter, their confessions are useless!

Zhang Dun believes that with Yu Tao's personality, it is absolutely impossible to give others a handle.

There are no tape recorders in this era, and no one will believe the words of those genius doctors.

Furthermore, Yu Tao hasn't killed anyone yet.

When Zhang Dun arrested him, he wanted to make an example to others, and to show the officials!

He wants to tell the officials through this incident, don't mess with him if you have nothing to do.

What's more, he has his own reasons for arresting Yu Tao.

As long as he prepares poisoned wine and white silk in advance with the intention of persuading Mu Qingcang to commit suicide in order to claim credit from the imperial court, the matter of arresting him will be justified.

But now, Yu Tao is dead!

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "How did he die?"

"I don't know!" Tang Jian smiled wryly.

Zhang Dun was stunned, "What do you mean you don't know?"

Tang Jian said with a sad face, "There was no wound on his body, and he didn't die from poisoning. I also want to know the cause of his death!"

Zhang Dun asked: "Have you had a test with Wu?"

Tang Jian shook his head and said, "It's not too late yet."

"I'll go to Jingzhao Mansion with you." Zhang Dun's face was serious. This incident was strange and contained too many doubts. What needs to be clarified most now is the cause of Yu Tao's death.

Tang Jian came here on horseback this time. Zhang Dun explained to Hu Quhe a few times, and then he and he rode on the same horse and rushed to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.

In the prison, it was extremely dark.

Holding a torch, Zhang Dun walked into the wooden prison where Yu Tao was imprisoned.

The hard wood outside the wooden prison went down vertically and pierced into the grooves in the ground. Once locked in the prison, it was impossible to get out even with all the effort.

Zhang Dun looked at Yu Tao who was lying flat on the ground without making a sound, and bent down to check with a dignified expression.

Tang Jian stood beside him and asked, "Do you need to call Wu Zuo?"

"No need, I'll do it myself."

Zhang Dun finished speaking without raising his head, turning the palm of his hand over the facial features of the deceased.

Tang Jian said in distress: "It wasn't poisoning, and there was no wound. I really don't know how he died!"

"Asphyxiated."

Zhang Dun stood up slowly, and said calmly: "He passed out first, and then died after his mouth and nose were covered."

"Darkness? How could you faint..."

Tang Jian opened his eyes wide, squatted down and turned Yu Tao over, looked at his back, and said, "There is no trace of being cut by a hand knife on the back of the neck."

"The problem is here!"

Zhang Dun said in a deep voice: "His body has not been hit by external force, how could he be unconscious?"

"Tang Fu Yin, did you smell a strange smell when you came in?"

Tang Jian waved his hand and said, "You mean Mixiang? Absolutely not."

Zhang Dun took a deep breath, "Then there is only one possibility..."

Tang Jian pursed his lips and asked, "You mean to say that your own hands did it?"

"That's right!" Zhang Dun nodded his head with a serious look. After the cocoon was peeled off, there was only one reason.

"Come on!"

Tang Jian walked to the door and yelled outside.

"The humble job is here!" Team leader Yang has been guarding outside, and hurried over.

Zhang Dun asked: "Boss Yang, has anyone been in prison after nightfall?"

Team leader Yang hurriedly said: "There is only one person."

"Who?"

"Tang Fu Yin."

Tang Jian kicked him, stared at him and said, "Is it time to joke now?"

Team leader Yang said in a muffled voice: "Except for you, no one has ever come in at night, because after nightfall, I am the one who guards outside the prison."

Zhang Dun glanced at Tang Jian, that is to say, the only one who killed Yu Tao was among the jailers.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Tang Jian rubbed his cheeks, "I am familiar with the guards in charge of Jingzhao Mansion's prison, so it cannot be one of them."

Zhang Dun said solemnly, "But Yu Tao is dead."

"I understand!" Tang Jian knew what he wanted to say, and asked, "Can you trust Bantou Yang?"

"Trust it."

Zhang Dun patted Bantou Yang on the shoulder and said, when he was the county magistrate, he was always by his side, and he was able to come to Jingzhao Mansion because of himself. What is certain is that Bantou Yang and himself It is one heart.

"it is good!"

Tang Jian solemnly raised a finger, and said, "Boss Yang, go and find out who has been in prison since Yu Tao was imprisoned, and bring them here! Hurry up!"

"No!" Bantou Yang clasped his fists in response.

Not long after, he brought over five jailers.

Among the guards, there were two in their twenties, one named Zhou Ming and the other named Chu Xing.

There were three middle-aged men in their forties. The tall one was called Huang Kuan, the thinner one was called Yang Si, and the other was short and named Xun Qu.

Tang Jian stared at the jailer named Xun Qu, and asked, "What are you doing in there?"

Xun Qu said nervously, "I'll be with Bantou Yang and send Yu Tao to prison."

"What about you?" Tang Jian looked at the two young jailers again.

The jailer named Chu Xing hurriedly said, "Zhou Ming and I will bring him food and wine."

Tang Jian looked at the other two.

Huang Kuan and Yang Si said in unison: "We will guard at the door."

After finishing speaking, the five people looked at Bantou Yang eagerly, and Huang Kuan said anxiously: "Boss Yang, you have to testify for us, Yu Shaoqing's death has nothing to do with us!"

Before Team Leader Yang could speak, Tang Jian snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who said it now, I only look at the evidence!"

"Boss Yang, arrest all five of them and separate them!"

"No!" Bantou Yang clasped his fists and said solemnly.

Walking out of the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, Tang Jian rubbed his forehead and said:

"Hey, Zhang Dun, the minister of the imperial court died in our prison. I, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, and you, the young governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, are probably going to lose their hats."

Zhang Dun put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes and said, "Not yet."

Tang Jian said with a wry smile: "Why not, there are only five hours left before the morning court!"

Chapter 396 Interrogation!The punishment used by Zhang Dun

"As soon as the time comes, you and I will go to the morning court."

With his hands behind his back, Tang Jian paced back and forth anxiously:

"The censors at Yushitai must have heard the news of Yu Tao's imprisonment. I'm afraid they have written all the memorials, and they are waiting to participate in our court meeting!"

"Your Majesty values ​​you and will definitely try to protect you."

"Mu Qingcang has the merit of offering potatoes, His Majesty can use this to suppress the officials and make them have nothing to say."

"But the premise is that Yu Tao is not dead!"

Tang Jian said angrily: "Now he is dead, and he is still dying in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. You and I can't absolve ourselves of the blame."

Zhang Dun breathed out, and said, "The most important thing right now is that we have to find out the murderer who killed Yu Tao within five hours!"

"As long as the murderer is found out, things will be much easier."

"Five hours, it's not that easy to interrogate who the murderer is!"

Tang Jian shook his head for a while and said, "Unless...a severe punishment is used."

"If you are afraid, you will be afraid, and the punishment is not easy."

"The most important thing is that once you have been sentenced to severe punishment, your majesty will have to witness witnesses in the court hall. If you see that the person who confessed has been tortured, what will all the officials do if they say that we were tortured?"

Tang Jian just felt dizzy: "What if those confessors suddenly retract their confessions in court?"

Zhang Dun said in a deep voice, "I'll interrogate them."

"Can it work?" Tang Jian looked at him with wide eyes.

"Try it, and then you'll know."

Zhang Dun clenched his palms into fists, narrowed his eyes and said.

"Treat the dead horse as if it were alive." Tang Jian sighed.

Zhang Dun said no more, turned around and walked into the prison again.

"Ping Kangbo!" Team leader Yang stood in the rain, holding his saber with his palm, staring sharply at the five jailers who were being imprisoned.

Seeing Zhang Dun walking in, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said.

Zhang Dun asked, "Where are they?"

Yang Bantou raised his finger and said, "Over there, the compartment is closed, and Yu Shaoqing's body can be seen."

"I thought, let them stare at the corpse, maybe some of them will be frightened and show some flaws."

Zhang Dun nodded and said: "This method is high."

Leader Yang beamed with joy and said: "Xie Pingkangbo praises you."

Zhang Dun looked at him expressionlessly and said, "But it's useless."

"..."

Team Leader Yang's smile instantly froze on his face.

Zhang Dun walked towards the five jailers who were locked up, analyzing calmly in his heart.

To be able to kill such an important minister of the DPRK and China at this time and at this place.

The psychological quality is probably like iron.

Otherwise, can he do this?

Two young guards, one named Zhou Ming and the other named Chu Xing.

Three middle-aged men in their forties.

Huang Kuan is tall and tall.

Yangs, thinner.

Xun Qu is short but strong.

Zhang Dun calmly scanned the five people over and over again.
