Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and the others escorted the captured "female ghost" and Liu Zheng back to Kaifeng Mansion.

But at this time, Zhao Zhen was actually there in the Kaifeng mansion.

Bao Zheng and the Grand Master accompanied each other with teacups, the three of them talked and laughed, and there was family-style snacks made by Mrs. Bao on the table.Zhao Zhen seemed to have a good appetite, so he ate a few, and said that he would pack the rest and bring it back for Concubine Pang and the Queen Mother to taste.

Zhan Zhao and others came in with Liu Zheng.

As soon as Liu Zheng came in and saw Zhao Zhen, he suddenly felt that he might still have some hope... After all, in view of the dead Concubine Mei, maybe Zhao Zhen would be lenient?Otherwise, Zhao Zhen wouldn't have come all the way from the palace.

Zhao Pu glanced at Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen gave him a wink, Zhao Pu understood... Liu Zheng is dishonest, it's hard to pry his mouth open!If you know that you are going to die, you must bite to death and let it go, and it will take a day to delay.But if he was given a glimmer of life, he would honestly confess that Zhao Zhen came to give him this illusion.Zhao Pu still knows about Zhao Zhen. With Liu Zheng's actions, especially the fact that he blasted the prison wall and wanted to put prisoners into Kaifeng City to create chaos, let alone Concubine Mei's cousin, even Concubine Mei's relative Dad, Zhao Zhen has to kill him too!

Liu Zheng and the other three scholars were pushed aside and knelt down to wait for interrogation, while the other was the "ghost daughter-in-law" of the Jin family.

Zhan Zhao asked people to find several old people who had met the grandson-in-law of the Jin family back then. Everyone looked at it and said that this girl was dressed almost exactly like the grandson-in-law of the Jin family, and her appearance was also seven or eight percent similar, but slightly different. .

So, everyone looked at the young woman. In terms of age, if Jin Jiasun's daughter-in-law was still alive, of course, if she was not a ghost, she would not be so young.

"What's your name?" Zhan Zhao asked her, "Why did you sneak attack?"

The girl glanced coldly at Liu Zheng and the others who were kneeling beside her, and said, "Damn them!"

After she finished speaking, she shut up and said nothing.

Zhan Zhao pointed to Bai Yutang, and asked her, "The one who attacked him that night was also one of yours? The archery skills are the same, who did you learn your archery skills from?"

The woman didn't speak, just frowned.

Zhao Zhen touched his chin with great interest. This girl is probably the reason why the Jin family has been rumored to be haunted, but I don't know what her purpose of pretending to be a ghost is.

But this woman didn't look like she would speak easily, so Zhan Zhao ordered her to be taken to temporary detention, and interrogated Liu Zheng and the others first.

The four of them had already turned their faces at this time, and the three scholars looked at Liu Zheng as if they were very dissatisfied, and said in a low voice, "You actually want to kill us!"

Liu Zheng sighed, if it wasn't for these people's mistakes, this situation would not be here.

Master Bao glanced around and saw the three scholars exchanged glances with each other. It could be seen that they probably planned to put all the blame on Liu Zheng, and trying to make them dog bite dog is the best interrogation method.

At this time, Master Bao had the same idea as Master Pang, of course.The grand master gave two "tsk tsk", shook his head, and the tone of his speech seemed to be pleading for Liu Zheng, but also seemed to try to figure out the holy will to help smooth things over, and his tone was a bit awkward, "Oh my lord Liu, how did you get involved in this?" Are the rivers and lakes different?"

Everyone glanced at Grand Master Pang, what does that mean—right and wrong in the world?

Lin Yehuo squinted at Zou Liang, which meant - the old man is not pumping!

Zou Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry and winked at him—don't interrupt when adults talk.

Lin Yehuo gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to pinch a bit of flesh on Zou Liang's arm, then pinched desperately, Zou Liang shook his hand in pain.

And Liu Zheng saw hope—as expected, Zhao Zhen came to intercede for him, and there was still a way out!

Gongsun squinted at Zhao Pu—what happened to your relative?

Zhao Pu shook his head at him—be safe and don't be impatient!

"Master Liu, hurry up and tell me." The grand master urged, "If you are confused for a moment, just tell the truth and don't hide it!" As he spoke, he winked at him, "This is the last chance!"

Liu Zheng nodded quickly.

When the three scholars saw it, they knew that Liu was a relative of the emperor, and if he was asked to speak first, they might blame them all for the fault, so they also rushed to say that they wanted to confess and begged for a lighter punishment.

At this time, Zhao Zhen, who had been drinking tea without speaking, put down his teacup and said, "Let's talk about it on two sides."

Everyone looked at him.

Zhao Zhen finally took a look at Liu Zheng, who was kneeling beside him, and said slowly, "Separate the two courtyards and say, Mr. Gongsun and Bao Yan took a pen and paper to write down every sentence for me, if there is any sentence that doesn't match... "Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen paused for a moment, looked at Bao Zheng, "Bao Qing."

"My minister is here." Lord Bao stood up.

"Bring out the guillotine and put it here." Zhao Zhen's eyes turned cold, "If there are mistakes in the two confessions, I will cut off all four of them, and there is no need for further trial."

"Yes." Master Bao agreed, and asked Chao Mahan to take the three scholars to the next yard.

Ever since, if the two confessions want to be completely consistent, then the only way is - to tell the truth!

The people in Kaifeng Mansion were also divided into two parts at this time, one part stayed here to listen to Liu Zheng, and the other part went to the next door to listen to those scholars.

...Finally, the two confessions were put together and compared. Except for a slight difference in tone, they were basically the same. These two confessions also solved a little-known secret behind the massacre of the Jin family.To be honest, the Jin family did encounter a "ghost" by inviting disaster, but this "ghost" is by no means the granddaughter-in-law, but these "money-greedy" ghosts!

Liu Zhenghe, Xie Yiting, who died unexpectedly before, and these scholars were all former students of Taixue, and they all had great ambitions. Before entering Taixue, they were all proud of themselves, thinking that they could be the number one in the exam in the future .It's a pity that one mountain is still as high as another mountain. Almost all the smart people in the world have gathered in this Imperial Academy. After entering the Imperial Academy, a few people found that it is even more difficult to get ahead with their own talents. Impossible... Let alone the number one scholar, whether he can successfully enter the palace examination is a question.

Therefore, the few people who quickly recognized the reality chose another path, that is, like many students, make friends with powerful people and prepare for their future.

This is unreasonable.

By chance, Liu Zheng and others got acquainted with Jin Shan, who was older than them, and they discovered a secret during their relationship.

Jin Shan has a changeable personality, one day he was very kind, and the next day he became very irritable, or sometimes he was a little dull, and sometimes he was suddenly smart and quick-witted.Liu Zheng and the others felt strange.Later they discovered that Jin Shan was actually a pair of twins pretending to be. An older brother and a younger brother had the same appearance but completely different personalities. stupid.

After Liu Zheng found out about Jin Shan's secret, he was puzzled. He and his buddy Xie Yiting had researched it in private—the Jin family is extremely rich, so what if they have twins?Why pretend to have only one son?There must be a secret in it, and this secret must be profitable!

Therefore, Liu Zheng and others with malicious intentions began to secretly investigate the secrets of the Jin family.

After staring at Jin Shan for a few days, they discovered that the two brothers pretending to be Jin Shan, the smart and capable brother had nothing on his back, while the honest brother had a very strange tattoo on his back, which was a single head. Three-headed Jin Tuo statue.

At that time, Xie Yiting met some friends who resell dirty things, and from those people, he heard about the three-headed Jintuo defrauding and collecting money. Later, the three-headed Jintuo split up, and the three heads parted ways, and their fates were also different. , but according to legend, the three-headed golden tuo has amassed uncountable wealth, so Liu Zheng paid attention to these wealth.

They found that the Jin family was using a large amount of gold to build some huge golden statue in the back mountain, so they threatened Mr. Jin on the condition of Jin Shan's secret.Mr. Jin gave them a hush money of almost 10 taels of gold. After they got this huge amount of wealth, the farce of stealing the test papers happened later.The Taixue expelled everyone, without the shackles of the Taixue, several people started to do business, some became officials, and finally everyone made a small fortune. Liu Zheng also had smooth official career all the way.On the contrary, the Jin family fell into decline, gradually declined, and finally almost disappeared.

After all, they had done something wrong, Liu Zheng and others had always been concerned about the haunting of the Jin family. Before Xie Yiting was murdered, they had already discovered that there was something strange about the Jin family, so Liu Zheng paid more attention and let the three scholars go to heaven. Stay away.Xie Yiting refused to listen to Liu Zheng, and ended up dying outside... Liu Zheng knew that the Kaifeng government was investigating the case, and wanted to wait for the limelight to pass, but he didn't expect the case to become more and more troublesome, so he wanted to run away.

……

After reading the confession, Zhan Zhao frowned slightly.

Zhao Pu said, "There should be something left unsaid."

Gongsun also nodded, "If it was just extorting money, how could the Jin family be wiped out? And if it was just extorting money and not involving human life, the crime would not be death! But on the one hand, Liu Zheng wanted to kill people, and on the other hand, he did not hesitate to release the prisoners. Get away. If you didn't feel that your crime was unforgivable, you wouldn't have escaped at such a high price, would you?"

Bai Yutang also nodded, "Should there be something to hide?"

Zhan Zhao shook the two confessions, "They should have discussed it before."

"Then what should we do?" Gongsun asked.

"Easy to handle." Zhao Pu took both confessions, "We don't need to think about it." After finishing speaking, Zhao Pu went to give the confession to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took the two copies and compared them for a while. After reading them, he put them on the table and said to Mr. Bao, "It's different, let's kill them all."

……

Everyone looked at each other, it was clearly the same... It's deceiving without blinking!

Lord Bao stood up and said to Dynasty Mahan, "Please lead the leader to the dog's head..."

"Alas..." The grand master hurriedly stopped, "Come on slowly." Then, the grand master asked the pale-faced Liu Zheng and the three shivering scholars, "Think twice! Your life is at stake at this time! "

The three scholars were timid, thinking that Liu Zheng might have said something well to them, but he secretly pulled their backs, so he hurriedly said, "Yes... there are still some things I haven't said."

Master Bao asked them to continue explaining.

Everyone looked at the Grand Master and Mr. Bao, and thought that the red-faced and white-faced singer...

At this time, Xiao Si and Xiao Liangzi came back holding hands, bouncing back, and behind them were Xiao Wu who was yawning, and Tian Zun and Yin Hou who were also yawning.

The fourth son ran into the yard, and when he saw many people were there, even Zhao Zhen came, the little guy was very happy... Everyone is busy these days, and no one cares about the Taixue competition.

Zhao Zhen was in a good mood when he saw the fourth son who was running towards him. He also forgot about Liu Zheng's mess, and reached out to pick up the fourth son and put him on his lap.

Sitting on Zhao Zhen's lap, the fourth son reached out to pat Grand Master Pang's belly as usual.

The Taishi cheerfully brought him some snacks.

The fourth son was holding the snack, and saw Liu Zheng kneeling beside him with his head bowed.

The fourth son looked at him, touched his chin, and then kept tilting his head, looking at Liu Zheng.

"It's the same."

While everyone was waiting for the three scholars, the fourth son suddenly pointed at Liu Zheng and said a word.

Zhao Zhen looked in the direction of the fourth son's finger, puzzled, "What's the same?"

"The birthmark behind the ear." The fourth son said.

Everyone was puzzled, but Liu Zheng subconsciously covered his ears, and his face became even paler.

Zhe Ying walked over, broke it open and succeeded... and saw behind Liu Zheng's ear, near the root of his hair, there was a round mole-like thing. Looking closely, it seemed to be a brand mark. The shape was that of a snake's head, which looked familiar.

Everyone looked at each other—it was almost the same as the left head among the three heads of Jintuo.

Zhan Zhao asked the fourth son, "Have you seen the same one before?"

The fourth son nodded.

Gongsun hurriedly asked, "Where did you meet?"

The fourth son pointed to the ground.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Gongsun together.

Gongsun opened his mouth wide, "Have you seen it in Kaifeng mansion?"

"Hmm..." The fourth son raised his face and thought, is it Kaifeng Mansion?The yard seems to be about the same...

Everyone gasped, Lord Bao also put down his cup, and asked the fourth son, "Could it be someone from the Kaifeng mansion?"

The fourth son shook his head and tilted his head, as if he was not very sure, "Is it a guest..."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Do you remember the name?"

Although everyone heard Zhan Zhao's question, they still felt that it was unreliable. It's no wonder that the fourth son can remember a whole name!

Unexpectedly, the fourth son said three words loudly, "Yue Changfeng!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yue Changfeng?" Grand Master Pang was also puzzled, "You mean the dean of Qiankun Academy?"

The fourth son nodded and nodded.

Everyone understood why the fourth son was able to call out Yue Changfeng's name. The little guy was studying the countermeasures of the fourth college competition recently, so he naturally knew who the dean of Qiankun Academy was.

Zhan Zhao also remembered it. When Yue Changfeng went to see Lin Xiao that day, the fourth son said he was going to the toilet, so Zhan Zhao took him for a run. It was staring at the back of the old man, and it turned out that he was looking at the "mole".Probably the fourth son also felt strange, why would someone have a birthmark in the shape of a snake's head...

However, everyone could tell that this was not a mole or a birthmark, but a brand mark, which was formed on the skin after someone heated the metal in the shape of a snake's head.

Everyone thought Yue Changfeng was weird before, and after a long time, did he still have something to do with Liu Zheng?Plus that weird snake head looks the same as the three-headed Jintuo statue, I dare say this big old man has a side job...

Zhao Pu asked the shadow guards to check the situation of the three scholars next door, and found that they did not have the mark behind their ears.At this time, the three scholars also said frankly that they were taking orders from Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng was taking orders from other people.

After the three-headed Jintuo bulk goods back then, they went their separate ways. Among them, the right head and the middle head have disappeared, but the left head has always existed. Liu Zheng is a member of the left-headed faction!Their business has changed from a small business of cheating and abducting to extorting big families, and they specifically look for the descendants of the former members of the three-headed Jintuo.In order to avoid repeating the fate of the three-headed Jintuo committing too many crimes and being targeted by the court, they are more careful in doing things and must kill the roots every time they do business.

In addition, their most important thing is to find the three paintings that have been handed down from that year, in order to find the huge fortune in the legend.Liu Zheng used his status as the head of the prison to do a lot of bad things, killing many people and making countless money at the same time.

Everything was going on without anyone noticing, but the Jin family suddenly started to be haunted, and it seemed that they deliberately wanted to expose the three-headed Jintuo to the Kaifeng government, causing suspicion and investigation by the government, so Liu Zheng and the others became nervous.

Zhan Zhao and others roughly sorted out the confessions of everyone, and basically confirmed that there were two groups of people who committed the crime in this case.

On one side is Liu Zheng and the mysterious "Left Head" faction that has survived and developed to this day.

On the other side are people from the Kim family, or "ghosts."

However, a strange thing happened here, which puzzled Zhan Zhao and others.

Originally, the context of the case was quite clear. Leftists, Liu Zheng and others killed the Jin family back then.

And this woman is so similar to the granddaughter-in-law of the Jin family back then, plus the "zombie" who looked exactly like Jin Shan before, these are likely to be the heirs of the Jin family back then, and the Jin family should still be alive, so this time I came back for revenge of.

This was originally a grievance between the Jin family and the Zuotou faction. As those scholars said, the goal of the Jin family is to let the Kaifeng government pay attention to the case of the three-headed Jintuo, the deaths of Xie Yiting, Pei Qin and others, the painting was stolen, and the ghost wife was killed. Get richer in fright, run back to the Jin family, lead Zhan Zhao and the others to pay attention to the zombies in Qiankun Academy... etc., all descendants of the Jin family are seeking revenge.

However, for some reason, there was a sudden deviation on the way, and one party pointed the finger at Wu Yifu... According to the situation of the Jin family's shooting of arrows against Liu Zheng, it is the descendants of the Jin family who targeted Wu Yifu, not Zuo. It's a top-notch, and it's still a sudden idea... why is this?

Originally, the grievances between the two parties involved Wu Yifu—if they had to find a reason, everyone thought of those three paintings at the same time!

The archery used by the descendants of the Jin family is obviously derived from Wu Yifu's archery... Is there any entanglement or misunderstanding in this?Originally, the Jin family was just taking revenge, but accidentally discovered the existence of Wu Yifu, so the attack on Wu Yifu came about?So, in the Jin family, is there a sick scholar, or an enemy of General Youlian back then?

……

After Zhao Zhen read all the confessions of the three scholars in detail, he asked Liu Zheng, "Do you have anything to add?"

Seeing that Liu Zheng had been exposed, he hurriedly crawled to Zhao Zhen's feet to beg for mercy, and begged Zhao Zhen to let him survive in the face of Concubine Mei. He could help contact the leftist faction, and only he could contact them.

Zhao Zhen stared at him for a while, but smiled, shook his head, and said, "Not necessarily, isn't there another Yue Changfeng who has the same imprint as you? This imprint shows that you two belong to the left-headed sect. The status should be the same, so if you know it, Yue Changfeng also knows it, and if you can get in touch, Yue Changfeng should be able to get in touch too."

Everyone looked at each other—it seemed that Zhao Zhen didn't plan to keep Liu Zheng anymore.

Zhao Zhen gently twirled the finger on his thumb, and said, "On the contrary, if you don't kill you and leave you in this world, with Zuo Tou's cautious style, it should be easy, and maybe the line in Kaifeng will be broken. Yes or no?"

Liu Zheng opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhao Zhen who spoke lightly, with a slight smile on his face...

"How about this." Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and said, "For the sake of Concubine Mei, I will give you a whole corpse. Do you want poisonous wine or a three-foot white silk, just choose the one yourself."

Everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion stayed silent, the Grand Master didn't really intend to intercede for Liu Zheng at first, he was happy to drink tea and watch his son-in-law show his imperial prestige.

When Zhan Zhao and others thought of Liu Zheng's many bad deeds, he felt that death was too cheap for him, and they couldn't get rid of their hatred even if they were divided into pieces.

Liu Zheng was trembling like chaff right now, lying on the ground begging for Zhao Zhen's life.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand at Nangong Ji, which means - hurry up and kill him, it's too annoying!

……

Although the chaos in the sky prison did not escape, the prisoners still shocked the people of Kaifeng. What happened next was that Liu Zheng was executed, and the murder case of the Jin family also surfaced. Beheaded.However, the details of the case released to the public did not involve the three-headed Jintuo and the Zuo Tou faction, and used the first confession of Liu Zheng and the others.

The people in Kaifeng felt that the Jin family was pitiful, and the original haunted house became less scary. At the same time, they felt that Liu Zheng was hateful, and Zhao Zhen was really fair, and he was merciless towards the royal family.

For everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, the happy thing is not only that Liu Zheng was executed, but what is even more exciting is that the original complicated and confusing case has been officially sorted out. Now everyone has to solve two things. One is to ask The situation of the Jin family solves the mystery of angering Wu Yifu.The second is to secretly investigate Yue Changfeng, find out that leftist faction who does all kinds of evil but is cautious, and completely eradicate this scourge!
