Come back later.

Maybe it's because I dare not, or maybe it's because I'm unwilling to accept it.

I dare not be because I cannot offend Kunzhi. Of course, what Xue Huai is afraid of is not Kunzhi, but the people behind him who can threaten him and let him leave the Duke Huai Mansion. No matter how he doesn't like Duke Huai's Xue family, on the other hand, he really cannot leave the Xue family.

The reason why he was unwilling to accept was because he was threatened by a servant was that Xue Huai could not bear.

Under the contradictions, he didn't know which side accounted for more. In short, he came back in the end.

Zhen Shiyuan stroked his beard and began to think about it.

The most subtle thing about the whole thing is undoubtedly what Xue Huai said just now.

At that time, the bridge was not broken, but he asked Xue Huai to report the news that the bridge was broken and asked him to report the news until dawn. Afterwards, despite the accident, he went to the Xu family to report the news because it was dawn, and indirectly did what Kunzhi asked him to do.

But why did Kunzhi say that? This is undoubtedly the strangest thing in the whole thing.

Zhen Shiyuan tapped the table gently with his index finger, a little confused.

At that time, Kun Zhiren was laughing and saying that if everything Xue Huai said was true, then Xue Huai's reaction was right. Shouldn't the normal reaction be that he was humiliating me and making jokes about me?

It is reasonable to leave with your sleeves.

As for what Kunzhi did, and said such words and laughed, it is very likely that it was not his own thoughts, but the meaning of the master behind him, the second young master of the Xu family. According to Xu Hexiu, when there was a conflict in the daytime, Kunzhi held the wintersweet vase, his hands were almost frozen but still motionless. It can be seen that he was not a servant who had the courage to go against his master's orders.

So, can we think that this is the meaning of the second son of the Xu family or the group of people represented by the second son of the Xu family?

Their own people were in the Lianqiao, but the message bridge was broken... Are they going to trap themselves in the Que Tower? But why is all this? Why did he do this? Zhen Shiyuan couldn't figure it out.

He knocked his forehead with a headache: I really can't figure it out. It would be great if Shanxi Road was here. She always had some wild ideas, and sometimes it made him unable to help but slap the table. However, she was afraid that she would never think of the way she trapped herself in Quelou.

After thinking for a long time, Zhen Shiyuan shook his head and sighed: Forget it, he admitted it. How could he think of these things for a while?

When facing Xue Huai, who looked strange in front of him, became more and more confused as he thought about this, Zhen Shiyuan coughed and reminded him: "You continue talking."

Of course, there is a prerequisite for such a strange thing, the premise is that Xue Huai did not lie.

Xue Huai was called out by him, came to his senses, and continued: "So after I got to the foot of the mountain, I turned back again, and brought my crossbow and arrow, ready to teach Kunzhi a lesson."

"This time, it was not completely dark when I went up the mountain. When I went up the mountain the second time, it was already dark. I only brought a lantern for lighting and couldn't see it clearly. I could only walk while fumbled. When I walked to the snow watching platform, I ran into a figure near the snow watching platform. I thought it was Kunzhi, so I moved the crossbow arrow to the rocks." Xue Huai said.

Zhen Shiyuan immediately changed his face when he heard this: "It's already dark, and you really attacked someone. Xue Huai, should I remind you how likely you are to shoot someone with this arrow?"

If this is the case, it is possible that Kunzhi was killed by him by chance.

Xue Huai's face froze, and knew that he was in a disadvantage, and said embarrassedly: "I know, it was just an impulse at that time..."

Another impulse, Zhen Shiyuan snorted coldly, not commenting.

Xue Huai didn't say anything impulsive, just paused for a moment and said seriously: "But, Lord Zhen, I'm sure I didn't shoot Kunzhi."

Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyes: "Isn't it dark? How do you confirm it when you are there?"

Xue Huai said: "Because I went up to check it out, the man was hit by my arrow and ran deep into the snow forest. When I walked nearby, I only saw his footprints."

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Why don't you chase after me?"

"Why should I chase after me?" Xue Huai said this with a strange look on his face, "I shot and killed someone, will I still chase after me and kill them all?"

This made Zhen Shiyuan choke: It sounds very reasonable.

If you don’t want to kill them all, you will naturally not chase them.

"And it was so dark at that time, and I was scared after I moved my hands." Xue Huai said again, "What if the other party wants to kill me?"

Those who harm others are also afraid of being harmed, so they don’t chase them.

"I'm sure that the man was not Kunzhi because Kunzhi was on the ground not far away, and he was shot in an arrow behind his back. The man was already dead." Xue Huai said as his face turned pale, "He was already dead at that time."

He was really frightened and instinctively stepped forward to test Kun Zhi's breath, confirming that the person was dead, and then he was panicked.

"I was so panicked that I instinctively wanted to run down the mountain to report the official. I only took two steps and fell down, and then saw the arrow falling into the snow." Xue Huai said, lowering his head and sighed, "It was my arrow he had held in his hand before."

These arrows reminded him that he had just used crossbow arrows to randomly use them to cover them. As for how many arrows he shot out, he didn't even remember them.

"I also want to get those arrows back, but it was so dark and I shot randomly before, so I was really afraid of missing fish and remembering the things in the daytime. I... so I burned my crossbow arrows." Xue Huai said, looking up at Zhen Shiyuan and said affirmatively, "I burned it with my own hands, so I naturally know that the crossbow arrows you found are not my things at all!"

Zhen Shiyuan nodded, hugged his arms and seemed to fall into deep thought, and did not say much for a while.

Xue Huai waited for a long time, but before he could speak. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but say again: "That thing is not mine, maybe it is the real murderer."

Zhen Shiyuan glanced at him and said slowly: "This is possible."

Hearing this sentence, Xue Huaicai breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, Zhen Shiyuan's voice sounded again: "However, all you said may be made up."

Or don't believe him?

Xue Huai smiled angrily: "How is it possible? What am I making up this?"

"Of course it's to get rid of the crime!" Zhen Shiyuan asked him, "Don't you want to get rid of the crime?"

Xue Huai was speechless for a moment.

"Also," but Zhen Shiyuan did not give him a chance to react. He paused and said, "Why don't you report to the official after burning the crossbow and arrows?"

Xue Huai was stunned after hearing this, and then said for a while: "I was a little scared... I originally wanted to pretend that I didn't know anything, but later I went back and thought about it all night but went to the Xu family and reported the letter according to Kunzhi's words."

Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyelids: "Then when you go back and see Kun until you die, is the Lianqiao broken?"

"I was scared at that time, how could I pay attention to this?" Xue Huai glanced at him and said, "I didn't pay attention from beginning to end, and I didn't know at all."

After a pause, in order to prevent Zhen Shiyuan from believing, he said again: "When you passed by, I was frightened when I saw the bridge break."

"Is that true?" Zhen Shiyuan glanced at him without comment.

"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth." As he looked at his obviously disbelief, Xue Huai turned his head angrily, "It's true. What's going on? I'm still in the dark. Why don't I wait until the bridge recovers and ask the people in Quelou."

"There is no contact with the people from Quelou right now." Zhen Shiyuan lowered his eyes, took the interrogation record recorded by the civil servant beside him, looked it out, and asked someone to take it to him, asking him to confirm, "I don't know what happened."

"That has nothing to do with me," Xue Huai snorted coldly, "This servant's death has nothing to do with me at all. It was done by the murderer."

Zhen Shiyuan said: "Who told you not to report to the official at that time? You are the most important suspect in this case now."

"I didn't kill anyone." Xue Huai said, and when he met Zhen Shiyuan's hunched eyes, he suddenly laughed, "Besides, isn't it just a servant dead?"

To be precise, the servant is a slaughter or a slave. No one has ever seen anyone investigate it so strictly!

Zhen Shiyuan hugged his arms indifferently and looked at him and said, "There is no way. This case happened to be in front of Zhen, so Zhen naturally has to take care of it."

Even he himself did not believe that he would say that justice was upheld for every slave who died absurdly. Most human power in this world is limited, and Zhen Shiyuan does not have the ability to do this. But now that Kunzhi's death has been exposed to him, he will try the case.

Xue Huai sneered, and did not argue anymore, but let the official officer take him off the wooden stake and prepare to take him to prison.

The moment I left the interrogation room, Zhen Shiyuan's voice sounded again.

"As far as you see, what can Yu Shihuan and others do when they get together?"

"How do I know?" Xue Huai said disdainfully, "Sir, you know too. I am not friends with these people and I don't walk around on weekdays. How can I understand what they are going to do?"

"This is a bad word." Zhen Shiyuan stood up from behind the table after hearing this, then walked to him with his hands behind his back, looked at him, and said, "The one who knows a person's best is his enemy, not his friend. Aren't you the enemy of Yu Shihuan and others?"

Xue Huai's face turned even more ugly. He heard this and said angrily: "That's just painting. I don't know anything else. Can you let me leave?"

Zhen Shiyuan almost nodded to the two officials who were holding him, signaled to send him back, and then walked back to the table.

To be honest, he did not fully believe Xue Huai, but if what Xue Huai said was true, who was the murderer? Why did he shoot Kunzhi? Why did those people in Quelou ask Kunzhi to say this? Also, how did the Lianqiao break?

All of this made Zhen Shiyuan even more troublesome to think about it.

"grown ups."

An official walked in from outside the door at this time.

Zhen Shiyuan looked up and saw the visitor. He nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

It was Tang Zhongyuan, and I don’t know why he suddenly came over.

After Tang Zhongyuan bowed to him, he stood up and said, "Sir, Qiao Shu is asking for a visit."

Qiao Shu? Isn’t this the child living in that girl’s house? Hearing this name, Zhen Shiyuan couldn’t help but sit up straight and said, “What’s the matter with him to find me?”

Tang Zhongyuan took a step forward and lowered his voice and said, "Qiao Shu said he remembered something about Zhu Zhicheng."

Zhu Zhicheng? Zhen Shiyuan, who was confused in his mind, moved his lips and instinctively asked, "Who is that?"

Seeing this, Tang Zhongyuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Miss Qiao is not here, look at her memory, even he has some impression of this name!

Of course, Lord Zhen has a bad habit of having a good memory on the top, so you should naturally remember to remind me if you are a subordinate.

So, Tang Zhongyuan said: "I seem to have seen this name on the list given by Lord Xu on Quelou."

To be precise, Zhu Zhicheng should also be trapped in the Que Tower.

Zhen Shiyuan didn't react slowly. After he reminded him, he suddenly realized: "Is he a student from the Imperial College?"

Tang Zhongyuan nodded and said, "That's what Qiao Shu said."

When Zhen Shiyuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Let him come in and speak."

Although Kun Zhi's death is very important here, after all, human life is a major matter. Judging from this case, the strangest thing is not Kun Zhi's death, but the people in Quelou.
