The prison of Dali Temple was cleaned very clean, which was Zhen Shiyuan’s own habit. No matter which yamen he worked in, the unclean yamen or jail would make him feel uncomfortable.

Didn’t the saint say, “If you don’t sweep a room, how can you sweep the world?” It’s just a matter of sweep the world, at least this place is clean and it’s comfortable to do things.

The moment they walked in, several officials who had originally laid a table and chair in the empty corner of the prison were immediately awakened by the jailer in a hurry. I thought it was agreed to ask the jailer to remind him early in the morning.

However, even the prison guard himself did not expect that Zhen Shiyuan came to the prison without saying a word.

After seeing the messy climbing up from the table and chairs, several officials with tired expressions, Zhen Shiyuan frowned and said, "Let Tang Zhongyuan bring a few people to change shifts. Why didn't he go back when he was on night yesterday?"

What is not included in the writings of the civil servant? How is it called "Shiye"?

Several officials were stunned when they heard this, but then they realized that the lord wanted to let them rest. They were overjoyed and soon a mixed voice of "Thank you, lord" sounded.

I said it a long time ago that adults are considerate of their subordinates. Instead of sitting here, it is better to go home and have a good rest!

Tang Zhongyuan and several officials rushed to change shifts after hearing the news. After the handover, they heard that Zhen Shiyuan was about to interrogate Xue Huai. The few were stunned. After looking at each other, Tang Zhongyuan stood up and said, "Sir, we are not good at torture."

There is no need to teach you how to beat and arrest people, but torture sounds simple, but it is actually troublesome. If the control is not good and the prisoner is killed, the minority will be dismissed, and the worst will be imprisoned.

How dare novices who have never been tortured in this kind of thing dare to be arrogant?

Not to mention that Xue Huai used to look like "I won't say what you can do to me". This time, if you don't get punished, can this person really speak?

Tang Zhongyuan was a little hesitant.

"No obstacle." Compared to the uneasy of several officials, Zhen Shiyuan disagreed. He waved his hand and said, "Then it will not be punished."

"If Xue Huai insists on not speaking, he will throw it to the Ministry of Justice and see if he says he won't say anything." Zhen Shiyuan twisted his beard and walked towards the prison.

The suspect who was imprisoned in Dali Temple was either murder or another serious crime. Xue Huaiyu, who was suspected of killing a servant Kunzhi, was obviously not conspicuous. Of course, he was not qualified to be imprisoned in a special cell, and was only locked in an ordinary cell next to him.

When he entered, Xue Huai was sitting on the stone bed in a daze.

Zhen Shiyuan didn't say nonsense, and immediately asked someone to open the door of the prison cell, and then walked in with a few officials.

"What are you doing?" Seeing a few people coming, Xue Huai was stunned, and then smiled disapprovingly, "I won't speak."

"On the third day of this month, on the eve of the Imperial College holiday, you borrowed a crossbow arrow from the Imperial College, right?" Zhen Shiyuan was not confused about the opening of his words, but said something else as soon as he opened his mouth. He reached out and immediately an official officer took it to the record book of the Imperial College.

Zhen Shiyuan pointed to the contents of the record book and said, "This is a record in the warehouse, which shows that you have not returned it."

Xue Huai looked up at him and said, "Imperial College has opened the Six Arts, so why is it inappropriate for me to learn from the crossbow and arrow? "

"It's not wrong." Zhen Shiyuan asked someone to close the record book, and stood with his hands in his arms and looked down at Xue Huai who was sitting on the stone bed without saying a word. "You have mentioned that you have not left the Imperial College for half a month before this trip to Mount Li. Every day, you go back to the school hall. Your servant and scholar have also made a certificate, right?"

"So what?" Xue Huai lowered his head and didn't look at Zhen Shiyuan at all. "Mr. Zhen, you may have suspected that I had taken the action because the servant was shot to death by an arrow. Let's look for evidence that I borrowed a crossbow arrow!"

"I might as well say bluntly that I did borrow crossbow arrows and lost them, but that can't prove that I was the one I killed!" Xue Huai said, sneering, looking up at Zhen Shiyuan calmly, "Mr. Zhen, I have been studying in the Imperial College for so many years. Although my studies are mediocre, I also know the laws and criminal laws of the Great Chu. Those deceptive words are useless to me. It is because I am a shame because of Kunzhi's affairs. For such a thing, I will say that I am a suspect, but I am not an important suspect."

There are many types of suspects, such as him, who has no indirect or direct evidence pointing to him as the murderer and cannot be regarded as a serious suspect.

He was suspected, but his suspicion was just a verbal dispute, and there was no evidence. How could he be regarded as a serious suspect? Such a Dali Temple official who read the law through and demagogues people, fortunately he understood it.

As long as he is not a serious suspect, he cannot be interrogated and interrogated. Even if he doesn't want to say anything, what can he do to him?

Zhen Shiyuan smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "Part 1, your classmates said that you had a mediocre knowledge in the Imperial College. In this way, although you are not very good at studying Liuyi, you can read the criminal law thoroughly. You may be able to make a living by writing paper for others in the future."

Speaking of this, I remembered the one on Shanxi Road. He remembered the one who once said that the investigation and conviction system of Dachu was not perfect, there were arrests, investigations, and tortures, but there was still a lack of discrimination of grievances for others. He said at the time that he wanted such people to do something, but the girl named Qiao said it was very useful, and she could set up a lawyer and write paper for others, and go to the hall to distinguish grievances. She also laughed and said that if Dali Temple had nothing to do, she would learn to be a lawyer to support her family.

As soon as Xue Huai spoke, he thought of this. This man was really ordinary, and he was very good at identifying and protecting himself.

Xue Huai didn't raise his eyelids: "Sir, you don't need to ridicule. I know, I didn't kill anyone, you can't do anything to me."

Zhen Shiyuan sneered lightly and looked back at Tang Zhongyuan. Tang Zhongyuan immediately understood and quickly went out. Soon after, he walked in with a crossbow arrow.

"You are right. Zhen cannot abuse lynching here, but if I don't have any evidence, how could I come to interrogate you today?" He said, pointing to the crossbow arrow next to him and said, "This was discovered by the official in the depths of the snow not far from the snow platform. The coroner has confirmed that such a broad machine can carry the crossbow arrow that shoots Kunzhi, and is within the range of Kunzhi's death. Therefore, I have reason to infer that this is very likely the weapon that shoots Kunzhi."

Xue Huai's face turned pale and his eyes flashed slightly: "So what, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Although this crossbow archer is simple in style, it can be seen everywhere, but the wood is made of three-year boxwood. Depending on the degree of loss, it should be the new machine that has only been used for a short time. This official has consulted the wood dealer and craftsmen in the city. In the past year, three-year boxwood has been customized, and there is only one person who is used to make this type of crossbow archer."

Although crossbows and arrows cannot be tested as much as cinnabar and other things, they are very harmful because they are hurtful. Ordinary people can get started with just a little training, which is a powerful weapon for killing, so there is nowhere to be found when it is made.

The people also sell these crossbows and arrows for self-defense. To prevent them from being clearly explained, the shops in the people generally clearly indicate the sales destination, so that someone uses crossbows and arrows to harm people in the future and find out the situation that they cannot explain clearly.

However, in comparison, except for some powerful people who buy things like crossbows and archers to defend themselves, the people do not buy a lot of things. After all, only a few of them are purchased in large quantities to make crossbows and archers.

Only military camps or yamen governments need to be customized in large quantities, so this is easy to check.

"It's not another family, it's the Imperial College." Zhen Shiyuan said, "I have asked the craftsman to check it. The crossbow arch arch arch arch arch arch arch belongs to the same group as the Imperial College, and the mark of the Imperial College was also made on it. It is definitely not a counterfeit. It should be the crossbow arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch arch

Xue Huaiting's face changed, she stood up from the stone bed and said in surprise: "It's not mine."

It was precisely because he had been silent before using the law that he heard Zhen Shiyuan find such a crossbow arrow and he quickly jumped out to defend himself.

With such clear physical evidence, he can almost be regarded as an important suspect.

Generally, suspects are different from important suspects with clear directions. At this time, he will no longer have the opportunity to remain silent, but must speak, otherwise he will be forced to speak even if he is sentenced.

"You said that your crossbow arch was lost, but you found a crossbow arch like you not far from the crime scene. With such evidence, don't you want to say it?" Zhen Shiyuan looked at him without any haste.

The girl named Qiao said it well, and pushed the evidence to the prisoner, making people speechless. It was a pleasure to tell the truth obediently.

For example, Xue Huai and others are not required to be punished.

"Or," Zhen Shiyuan looked at him in a lengthened tone, "How do you prove that this crossbow archer used to kill people is not yours?"

Xue Huai's lips trembled.

"Also, since you have received the notice from the servant Kunzhi, why don't you go to the Xu family to report the message immediately?" Zhen Shiyuan was not going to let him go to give him a chance to breathe. He said, "I am not here today torture the torture officer of Dali Temple. Therefore, I am not going to torture you. If you don't say it, I will hand you over to the Ministry of Justice. I think the Ministry of Justice is willing to do it for you."

Anyway, the yamen in various departments have been very idle recently. There is also a person far away from Shanxi Road in Dali Temple who is worried that they are too idle and send a case over. Generally, there are no such subordinates in the yamen.

If you are familiar with the laws and criminal laws of the Great Chu, you don’t have to be scared or deceived. You should “know it with emotion and reason” and understand that people know the seriousness of it, so they will naturally explain it obediently.

Zhen Shiyuan raised his hand and yawned, and then heard Xue Huai's trembling voice speak.

"I...I said." He said.

He said.

That's right!

Zhen Shiyuan nodded and asked someone to take Xue Huai to the prison for torture. If the prisoners were willing to cooperate well, his work in Dali Temple would be much easier...

When Xue Huai was brought in, Zhen Shiyuan knocked on the table and looked at Xue Huai tied to the wooden rack and said, "Xue Huai, did you kill Kunzhi?"

When asking, you must first ask about the topic at the beginning.

The theme of a murder case is naturally whether a person is killed by him.

"No." Xue Huai shook his head, then subconsciously bit his lower lip, and after a while, he spoke, "But I did hide some things."

Zhen Shiyuan hugged his arms and looked at him leisurely and said, "Tell me!"

Xue Huai looked at him for a moment and lowered his eyes: "I said nothing wrong before, but I didn't say something. Going back is true. The four treasures of the study I used well fell on Mount Li. Seeing that it was still early and there was still time to go back and forth, my servant walked with me again. However, when I went there, I brought the crossbow and arrows from the Imperial College."

Of course, it is impossible to go up the mountain with crossbows and arrows to watch.

It is normal to be teased by others in public and have evil thoughts. Sometimes when people are impulsive, they often do some evil things.

"I originally took it up the mountain to take advantage of the darkness and secretly give Yu Shihuan an arrow to the darkness who laughed at me in public," Xue Huai said. "Of course, I am not going to kill him, nor am I going to shoot him in the vital points. I just want to get a lesson on his legs and feet."

What... Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyes. Of course, he would not believe it, but he would not believe it all.

"Even if you want to hurt his legs and feet, but the darkness doesn't really see it, how can you guarantee that you didn't shoot the wrong person? Or just cum in the legs and feet, without hitting the vital points?" Zhen Shiyuan asked.

Xue Huai's face was pale and his lips trembled: "It's so great to be so angry in anger, and he didn't think so much at that time."

Of course, he also regretted the incident of bringing crossbows and arrows up the mountain.

"After I went up the mountain, they were already at Quelou, and there was no one left." Xue Huai said, "I was in a hurry to go up the mountain but I was empty. I was so angry that I shot in a mess. But when I heard someone 'Ouch', I was startled and stopped quickly."

In impulsive and angry, he was just an ordinary scholar. He had never killed anyone. When he heard someone shouting, he instinctively stopped.

"The man jumped out of the snow. I recognized that this was Kun Zhi, who made me lose face indirectly during the day, so naturally he didn't have a good face." Xue Huai said, and his face became ugly. "He took a few arrows that I shot around me in his hand, and smiled and asked me to help do something, otherwise I would say that I would hurt people with crossbow arrows and send me to the government."

Zhen Shiyuan frowned when he heard this: "What do Kunzhi wants you to do?"

Xue Huai looked up and his face turned pale in an instant.

"He asked me to bring a message to Xu Mansion tomorrow during the day and say that the Lianqiao Bridge was broken and asked the people from Xu Mansion to ask someone to help build the bridge."

What? Zhen Shiyuan's face changed slightly when he heard it, and he couldn't help but sit up straight. However, his years of trial experience made him keenly grasp several key points: during the day, he went to Xu's mansion and said that the bridge was broken.

Isn’t this what Xue Huai did afterwards?

If Xue Huai said what he said was true, he still took it seriously and did what Kunzhi asked him to do.

"I was angry at that time. He was provoking me first and threatened me with this matter." Xue Huai said, pursing his lips and lowering his eyes. "I can't let him report to the official. He is not a child of the Xue family's direct descendant, but just an adopted person. If I really report to the official, I will definitely leave the Imperial College."

This... Zhen Shiyuan nodded. After asking female official Xue yesterday, it can be seen that Xue Huai's situation in the Xue family is not good. Once he gets into trouble... tsk tsk tsk.

Xue Huai, who was talking about this, suddenly took a deep breath, and his expression became subtle as to what he was about to say: "I was angry and angry, and instinctively looked at Lianqiao. Seeing that the bridge was still not broken, he looked like a hippie smile again, so he was sure that he used his master's identity to make trouble and bully me. In a hurry, he turned around and left."

This was his first time going up the mountain. Obviously, this was not the end, otherwise there would be no future.
