I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

21 Self-ashamed not Yushu

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Zhao felt that the confusing and confusing case of the prefect Chen finally became clear.

The reason why Jiang Lin and Bai Yutang got two completely opposite reasonings in the Chen Zhifu case was because the two clues pointed to two people.

One was hired, and with a knife in his left hand, he killed the prefect with one blow; the other paid great attention to ritual, and obviously hated the dead.

Before they wanted to twist the clues of the two sides together, there would naturally be a lot of controversy over the identity of the murderer.

Bai Yutang suddenly asked: "When you told me about the case before, did you mention that the murderer who wiped Chen Zhifu's neck was left-handed?"

Jiang Lin smiled and nodded to him.

Herein lies the breaking point of the case.

Even if Wei Heng could get the dagger from Tuxuetang and use Mixiang to kill someone, he is also a right-handed man, and it is impossible for him to leave a wound like the one on the neck of the deceased.

Therefore, he was not the direct murderer who killed the prefect of Chen, but another person who let out a fine dog to bite the dead body to vent his anger after the murderer finished killing.

In Wei Heng's view, avenging his brother was a worthy death, and being preempted by others was not a glorious thing, so he admitted both cases without hesitation.

But what Wei Heng didn't expect was that Jiang Lin would go after the details of the case on the premise that he had already pleaded guilty.

Wei Heng could also tell that the person in front of him was very skilled in martial arts, he came and went without a trace, he might be quite difficult to find.

And Wei Heng heard someone talk about it, the official responsible for this case has the deadline set by the emperor on his head, and he must resolve the case as soon as possible.

A moment of hesitation flashed in Wei Heng's heart.

Could it be that this person in front of him...can really help him vindicate the case of his righteous brother?

Jiang Lin continued to say to him: "Use the evidence in your hand, Yu Shun'er's whereabouts, and everything you heard and saw the night Zhifu Chen was killed, in exchange for Lu Heng's retrial and Yu Liang's Second trial, and a possible way out."

This is more of a deal than a gamble.

The magistrate's murder case had a great impact. Even if Wei Heng wanted to take credit for his crimes, it was impossible not to be sentenced to death.

But if Lu Ping's story is true, Wei Heng would even kill people to avenge his righteous brother, and it is very likely that he will be willing to provide them with clues.

As long as he is not executed immediately, Wei Heng may really have a way to survive if he encounters a general amnesty.

Wei Heng's canthus was about to crack, but the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

He doesn't have much trust in Jiang Lin, and avenging his brother-in-law is what he has been thinking about every day for these years.

Under Jiang Lin's bewitchment at this moment, Wei Heng really couldn't help thinking, what if?What if what this hypocrite says is true?

Jiang Lin was holding Wei Heng's collar, and his gaze was firmly locked on the other party's.He said slowly: "Say."

Wei Heng's defense finally completely collapsed.

His back was dripping with cold sweat, but his lips were extremely dry. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Lin picked out the issue they were most concerned about at the moment, and said, "Let's talk about Yu Shun'er's whereabouts first."

After a moment of silence in the room, Wei Heng slowly said: "When I abducted her, I wanted Yu Liang to experience the pain of losing a loved one. So, I brought her into the 'Cannibal Alley' Li... You should have already checked this point."

Jiang Lin frowned and remained silent, but Wei Heng said in a soft voice, "'Cannibal Alley' is a secret place, but you sent people to clean it up. The people behind that shrank to a deeper place..."

Bai Yutang was very dissatisfied with his mystification, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me where did you get Yu Shun'er?"

"Where can a woman go after entering the cannibal alley?" Wei Heng's face crept up a little teasing, "Several officials and sons should stop pretending to be gentlemen here?"

·

Wei Heng's answer drew a violent beating from Bai Yutang, and Jiang Lin secretly patted him twice.

They have long heard that the problem of human trafficking in Kaifeng Mansion is very serious, but it is another matter to hear that Wei Heng personally confirmed it.

The rest of the issues can be discussed later, Jiang Lin immediately sent someone to take Yu Shun'er's portrait to various romantic places in the city to secretly search for her whereabouts.

To escort Wei Heng back to Dali Temple for interrogation, after leaving the Ping'an Tavern, Jiang Lin and his party walked side by side.

Xie Ling frowned, and sighed: "This case is so complicated, I hope this Wei Heng really wants to avenge his brother-in-law and is willing to agree to Shao Cheng's conditions."

Bai Yutang was very optimistic. He patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Jiang, your trick of 'Crossing the Sky' just now was really good! You bluffed that Wei!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lin felt a little guilty for no reason.Pretending to be modest, he coughed twice, and said: "Where, I have to rely on Fifth Master to continue to follow up the clues from Pei's mansion."

Bai Yutang laughed wantonly, across Jiang Lin and Xie Ling in the middle, tiptoed to show off to Zhan Zhao on the other side: "How is it? Fifth Lord, I'm investigating the case in the right direction, right?"

Zhan Zhao felt it was funny.

Ever since he knew that the direct murderer of Chen Zhifu was indeed the one who held the dagger of Tuxuetang, Bai Yutang kept looking at him, his eyes full of complacency.

It's just that the atmosphere in the room was tense just now, so Bai Yutang restrained himself a bit.At this moment, there were only four of them left, so he couldn't help but wag his tail.

In Zhan Zhao's eyes, Bai Yutang seemed to be a little furry mouse, winking at him.

He couldn't help but smile a little, and said, "Fifth Master is amazing, Zhan admires him."

Zhan Zhao was born handsome, with protruding eyebrows, eyes and bridge of nose. At this moment, he was even more charming under the moonlight, and his eyes were full of sparkle.

What's more, he was smiling.

Bai Yutang originally wanted to ridicule Zhan Zhao, but was dazed for a moment, forgetting what he wanted to say.

Knowing that Zhan Zhao's eyes looking at him changed from a gentle smile to a puzzled one, Bai Yutang looked away as if he had been scalded, and stumbled at the bold words he wanted to make.

"Fifth Master, I'll go to Pei's mansion to find their flaws right now! Zhan Zhao, just wait and sing for Master!"

·

In the middle of the moon, in Pei's mansion.

Bai Yutang was wearing night clothes, lying on the eaves of the backyard of the Pei residence, looking at the moon sullenly.

The stuttering just now was laughed at by Jiang Lin for a long time, causing Bai Yutang to still be immersed in the annoyance of losing a fight.

He stretched out his hand to block the glare of the moonlight in front of him, thinking over and over again how to speak harshly next time he saw Zhan Zhao.

Before he could think of some good sentences, he heard strange movements from the front yard.

A few servants helped a drunk man back to the room, and Mrs. Pei in the back gave some orders to the servants, and then entered the room to talk to the man.

This behavior is really weird.

Bai Yutang was about to listen to a corner, when he saw the ordered servant release a carrier pigeon.

Bai Yutang saw the special golden thread wrapped around the pigeon's feet at a glance, and knew that it was a special pigeon that had undergone rigorous training. If it was captured alive, it would commit suicide. It always only passed on top-secret information encrypted in a special way.

Nothing can be deciphered just by getting the note, Bai Yutang suddenly had a decision in his heart, and followed the pigeon to the distance.

But what Bai Yutang didn't expect was that the pigeon seemed to have discovered him, leading him to fly left and right in the city, and when he passed a tall building, he suddenly disappeared.

Bai Yutang stood on the tall building and looked around, but he couldn't see the slightest trace of the carrier pigeon.

Just when he was annoyed that he didn't directly intercept the carrier pigeon, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind behind him!

Bai Yutang blocked with the scabbard, then turned around and struck out a palm.I saw that the visitor was wearing half of a silver mask, only a pair of thin lips were exposed, and what he was holding in his hand was the unique fish-shaped dagger of Treading Snow Hall.

The two went through several moves in an instant, seeing each other's attack became more vicious, Bai Yutang gritted his teeth after parrying and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

With the tip of the dagger against the blade, it slowly approached Bai Yutang's vitals.

The voice of the visitor was cool and soft: "Of course I want to get back the Moonlight Pearl in Your Excellency's hand."

When Bai Yutang heard this, he opened the man's dagger and stepped back dozens of steps.

The only thought in his mind at the moment is——hasn't the Yuehua Pearl been handed over to the imperial court by Jiang Lin and Zhan Zhao?
