Live together with Qing

"Are you sure you haven't seen Wei Changsheng again after you left Yizhi?" The official court couldn't bear it. After so many years of experience in interrogating confessions, he could tell at a glance that Wang Muren had hidden secrets in his heart, but he also knew the relationship behind Wang Muren. If you ask too clearly, I'm afraid it will end badly later.

"I..." Wang Muren raised his head suddenly, only to realize that Wei Changsheng was standing not far away and looking at him, his eyes were dull, his sweat dripped down his neck, and the seam of his neck was itchy and painful. He didn't dare reach out to wipe it.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice investigated Wei Changsheng's matter, and the family sent someone to hand him a message early in the morning, and it must not be related to this matter.

"I, I know that he went back to his residence and didn't stay in Yizhi." Wang Muren muttered, his eyes dodging, not daring to look at Wei Changsheng.

Guan Ting smiled, "You said you went home by yourself, so how do you know Wei Changsheng's whereabouts?"

"He, me, I heard what he told me the next day." Wang Muren's neck twitched, and the flesh on his face trembled, just like he did when he and Wei Changsheng bickered on weekdays.

Guan Ting shook his head, "Your testimony doesn't count. Do you have anything else to say?"

Wang Muren faltered, lowered his head, sweat dripped down his cheeks, and his back was already wet.

"Okay, you go down." Guan Ting waved his hand, and at the same time Wang Muren stepped back, he deliberately asked, "Wei Changsheng, do you need someone from Taohuawu to testify for you?"

Wang Muren's footsteps froze, and he stood there blankly.

Wei Changsheng's eyes were a little empty, "No need, just pretend that I haven't been there."

"The clear one clears himself. If he can trust you, he doesn't need you to go to such trouble to prove his innocence." When he was eager to ask IT for help, the other party reminded him kindly.

Wang Muren's body swayed, his head was so low that it almost touched the ground, and he backed away in small steps.

The official sighed, "Wei Changsheng, so after you left Yizhi, is there anyone who can testify to where you are?"

Wei Changsheng shook his head, "I didn't meet Mr. Cheng yesterday. My colleagues can testify to this. The official seal was lost yesterday. I don't have another residence in the capital. The official servant can send someone to search the hotel room now. If it's really me I took it, and I don’t have time to transfer it elsewhere.” He thought for a while, and added, “Why do I need that official seal?”

After all, there must be a motive for killing someone, so what is he trying so hard to do?

"Forged documents." Murong Duan was silent for a long time, but at this moment he was finally moved, and a heart-punishing knife flew out of his mouth word by word.

Wei Changsheng trembled all over, "If the official seal is lost, the documents with the official seal will not be counted. How stupid am I? Do you have to forge documents at this time..."

He was so angry that the intermittent voice stopped abruptly. After the official seal was lost, the document with the official seal was naturally fake. What if it was the previous document?What if the real time of losing the seal was earlier than yesterday?

When was the last time he asked Mr. Cheng for his official seal?

It was the day before yesterday.

He clearly remembered that the day before yesterday Cheng Li said that he was going to a banquet and left the yamen early on a special trip. He chased after the lord's sedan chair for a long time before sending the seal back.

"So the seal of Master Cheng was lost the day before yesterday?" Wei Changsheng's voice gradually dropped, and he figured it out. These people asked him what he did yesterday in circles. where did it move to.

Guan Ting's eyes flashed, this child is really smart, he guessed the truth of the matter unexpectedly.

"That's why you lied to me when you said you were interrogating your colleagues." Wei Changsheng hit the nail on the head, his eyes were full of anger, and he almost tore the two of them apart.

The official court was noncommittal, staring at Wei Changsheng closely, not letting go of the slightest expression on his face, "Wei Changsheng, yesterday a document with a ritual seal appeared in the document that Mr. Cheng carried. found evidence that Xixia Shilang neglected his duties and accepted bribes, and demanded a thorough investigation of Xia Shilang in the name of Yizhi."

"Master Cheng went to a banquet the night before, and he drank a lot of wine at the banquet. He didn't remember where he threw the official seal. It was only when he submitted this post the next day that he felt something was wrong. He remembered that he had never seen this document before. Then we were notified to start looking for the whereabouts of the official seal."

Wei Changsheng stayed where he was. He did remember that Mr. Li Cheng didn't appear in the Yamen for most of the day yesterday, but this was passed on to him by other colleagues.

He sneered, his thin shoulders trembling slightly, "Even if you find out that this document is forged, why do you all conclude that I did it?"

"Because, Xia Anxi's investigation is beneficial to you." Murong Duan said slowly and calmly, and Wei Changsheng's teeth itch with hatred, "Didn't you always want to be promoted? If you go back to observe your filial piety, you can be promoted." Wouldn't it be beneficial for you to get promoted?"

"If Master Cheng sent this document up in a daze." Murong Duan couldn't help but sneered.

Really put your mother's fart!You actually gave me a knife behind my back?Wanting to be promoted, Wei Changsheng was sure that he only mentioned it to Murong Duan face to face. It seemed that he really wanted to trip him up.

I still have delusions about you?I really blinded my dog's eyes.

Wei Changsheng's body was cold, but he calmed down. The whole incident was under the presumption of guilt. He had never done anything, so he was naturally not ashamed. "What your lord said are all hypotheses, and I am not the only one who benefited from Xia Shilang's accident. If you want to investigate, you should also investigate all his colleagues! I have the shortest time in the etiquette system. Where did I get the time to collect evidence? My lord's assumption is ridiculous!"

When Guan Ting heard Wei Changsheng's rude words again, he quickly turned his head to look at Murong Duan, and found that Murong Duan was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Murong's firepower today is really too fierce, it is not at all leisurely like going through the motions as usual.

Guan Ting hurriedly changed the topic again, "Wei Changsheng, we secretly watched you for a whole day yesterday. We knew that you went to Taohuawu for a drink, but you left alone after getting drunk, but you didn't go back to the hotel directly."

what?Wei Changsheng was a little confused, he was in a daze, he didn't go back to the hotel, where could he go.

"No one knows where you went, but the time you left Taohuawu and the time you arrived at the hotel obviously did not match." The official court was aggressive, and finally revealed his true face known as "Yan Luo with a black face".

He is confident that he has given Wei Changsheng enough time to turn himself in. As long as he admits his mistakes, there is still room for maneuver. If he is forced to tell the final truth, it will be set in stone, and there will be no room for maneuver!

"I told you, I heard a cock crowing when I went back."

"But it was indeed Haishi when you left Taohuawu. The waiter in the hotel and the yamen servant who followed you can testify, but when you arrived at the hotel, it was after Zishi, approaching the ugly time." The official said with certainty. "There was a gap of three hours, what did you do?"

Wei Changsheng's face was flushed with anger, his eyes sparkled, and his words were full of sarcasm, "Your Excellency, you said that you sent someone to follow me, what did I do, and you still ask me?"

I drank the fragments myself, who knows if I fell into a vacant lot and fell asleep for a while.

"Uh." Guan Ting was stunned, he didn't expect Wei Changsheng to be able to defeat himself at this time, he really is a talent!He absolutely can't admit in front of Murong Duan that his own people lost Wei Changsheng who was drunk.

"I returned the official seal to Mr. Cheng the day before yesterday, did he tell you?" Wei Changsheng's head was clearer than ever, and he suddenly caught a loophole in what the official said earlier.If the official seal was on Mr. Cheng, he was going to commit crimes at Mr. Cheng's residence, so he didn't just make up a few empty words.It is absolutely impossible for him to reveal his identity as a spy of Beimingzhou, so how can he be a gentleman of Liangshang as a meager scholar?

Guan Ting frowned tightly, his jaw stretched into a straight line. He was not unsuspecting before, "Master Cheng didn't say that, he just said that he was in a hurry to go to the banquet, and he didn't remember that you sent back the official seal."

Wei Changsheng was shaken all over, and suddenly felt that he was stepping on the edge of a cliff, and as long as a gust of wind pushed him gently, he could push himself down and fall to pieces.

"I want to confront Master Cheng." He bit down every single word from his mouth and spat it out.

"Presumptuous, slap your mouth!" Murong Duan slapped the gavel, a loud sound reverberated in every corner, and the lingering sound continued for a long time.

"Hey, my lord, this..." For the first time, Guan Ting felt that the title of the black-faced Yama should be handed over to Murong Duan. "My lord, we haven't finished the court trial yet, so we slap our mouths at this time..." Guan Ting didn't say the last part, he believed that Murong Duan also had his own plan.

"As a person of etiquette, he has no respect for elders, and is ignorant of current affairs. If he is not punished, he will not be able to let him know his fault!" Murong Duan's eyes were filled with a murderous look.

That wasn't the first time Wei Changsheng saw Murong Duan like this, that morning he said to Murong Duan that he wanted to give up the selection system, and Murong Duan also lost his composure.

This person just can't see others disobeying.A gust of cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and the blood vessels in Wei Changsheng's body froze inch by inch.

"I can't admit what I haven't done." Wei Changsheng straightened his body and clenched his fists behind him.

"Come here, take off your official uniform and give your mouth thirty." Murong Duan took out the order stick and threw it down viciously, so that it split in half when it hit the ground!

"I didn't do it, I just didn't do it." Wei Changsheng's throat choked up, and he tried his best to suppress the pain in his heart. How old is he, why are you crying, shame on you!

"Hit." Murong Duan suddenly turned pale and closed his eyes.Is it necessary to fight?

The yamen servant held a bamboo slice, pushed Wei Changsheng, who was wearing a white jacket, to kneel down, and whipped him thirty times.

At the tenth blow, bloodshot eyes flowed from the corners of his mouth, and the redness and swelling on Wei Changsheng's fair face was shocking. By the time of the 20th blow, Wei Changsheng felt no pain at all, he only felt his teeth It seems to be shaking.The bamboo slices hit a large area, and from time to time they would reach the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.He couldn't see anything, but his sense of pain became more sensitive, and the piercing pain penetrated from his limbs to his internal organs.

He didn't cry out, and just finished his torture.

When the yamen servants pushed Wei Changsheng, who was covered in blood all over his body, back to the hall again, even the official could not help but sigh at the miserable state of his face.This Wei Changsheng is obviously a weak scholar, as long as he yells twice, he will find a reason to persuade Murong Duan to stop punishing him. For some reason, he feels that Murong Duan's original intention is to make Wei Changsheng bow his head and admit his mistake, but he is so stubborn and pitiful. Unfortunately, lamentable.

He turned his head and glanced at Murong Duan, but found that Master Murong left the back of his head to the people in the hall.Sure enough, it's so unwelcoming.

"My lord." Several yamen servants hurried up to the hall, holding up a gray cloth bag in their hands, a section of golden tassel hung from a corner of the cloth bag, and the shape of the items under the cloth bag was very similar to the official seal.

"My subordinate found Yizhi's official seal in the hotel room where Wei Changsheng was staying."

After hearing this, Guan Ting's expression froze, he really got all the stolen goods, it turned out that he really underestimated Wei Changsheng.He turned his head to look at Murong Duan with admiration, but was surprised to find that Murong Duan's face was pale, and he looked a little...Surprised?It's just that this expression was fleeting, and Murong Duan's expression quickly returned to calm.

Guan Ting sighed, and finally asked Wei Changsheng, "How, are you still going to confess?"

Wei Changsheng's hands were seized by the yamen servant, and he murmured a few words to show that he was speechless. The clerk next to him quickly handed him a pen and paper, saying that he wanted to plead guilty.

The yamen servant let go of Wei Changsheng, tremblingly picked up the pen, wrote a few words, and dropped the pen and paper on the case in front of Murong Duan.

Guan Ting yelled in his heart that something was wrong, and quickly picked up the piece of paper, on which was written in black and white:

"I didn't get the official seal of Yizhi."

"Put it in the sky jail, and we'll have a trial after the ceremony." Murong Duan showed a tired look, got up and left the office of the Ministry of Punishment. He didn't even look at Wei Changsheng until he was about to leave.
