Ji Yunshu finished speaking—
Lang Bo said angrily, "I see, where did Zhang Daqi confess his guilt? It was clearly that King Yi broke his tongue and forced him to draw a prisoner. He can't speak now, and naturally he can't tell the details of the crime. Come on, I shouldn't have let King Yi go yesterday, I'd rather he really killed Zhang Daqi than let him mess up the case like this.
If it was him, he would have ordered Yi Wang's random arrows to be shot to death last night.
But reckless men are reckless men after all.
Jing Rong said, "If he didn't let him go last night, the person who is now in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment may be this king."
"Why did your lord say that?"
"If you don't show the scene and leave, Zhang Daqi will definitely die, and it's no different from being dumb now. When the time comes, Jing Yi will report the matter to the emperor again, saying that the king is guilty of murdering his own brother, and the consequences can be imagined. ."
Uh!
Lang Bo was stunned.
A moment later, Jing Rong turned to Ji Yunshu, "I think you were concerned about this, so you asked this king to let him go."
She nodded, "Using any means to achieve the goal, it has always been the usual method of King Yi. If you really push him last night, the situation will only become more chaotic and worse."
That's right!
Jing Rong thought, "The emperor has ordered Zhang Daqi to be executed tomorrow. If he is not the murderer, then we only have one day to find out the evidence."
Immediately!
"I want to go to the prison of the Punishment Department." Ji Yunshu said suddenly.
"Zhang Daqi is a repeat offender, and the emperor also ordered him to be executed. At this time, the Ministry of Punishment will not let anyone in."
"But don't ask about some things. If he really died, it would be even more difficult to understand this case."
Lang Bo was confused, scratched his head, and said, "But Zhang Daqi's tongue is gone. Even if you ask him anything, he won't be able to open his mouth."
Spread your hands.
"I have my own way." She looked at Jingrong with pleading in her eyes.
But this is really difficult!
Zhang Daqi is a repeat offender, and he will be executed tomorrow, so the guards of the Ministry of Punishment will not be careless.
Jing Rong pondered…
After half an hour.
A carriage stopped outside the prison.
In addition to Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu, there was also Yu Shaoqing in the car.
Jing Rong explained: "Yu Shaoqing, after you bring Mr. Ji in, you must be careful and go back quickly."
"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials know what to do."
He also instructed Ji Yunshu, "If you can't ask anything, don't stay inside. If someone finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."
She nodded, "I understand."
At this time, she was dressed as a servant of the Dali Temple, with a hat and a mustache. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't tell who it was.
After getting off the carriage, she silently followed behind Yu Shaoqing to the door of the Prison of Punishment.
Two guards outside stopped him.
hand over.
"Master Yu."
Yu Shaoqing glanced at the two of them, "This official is going to find a criminal because of the dry well case, and you bring this official in."
Ah
The two jailers looked at each other.
He hurriedly explained: "The emperor ordered the criminal to be executed tomorrow, I am afraid at this time..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"I'm afraid of what?" Yu Shaoqing said in a more serious tone, "The emperor has issued an decree, but my Dali Temple has not yet closed the case and filed a file. If you block this official from entering, you are blocking the Dali Temple from handling the case. If something goes wrong, can you afford it?"
"This… "
"Don't get out of the way quickly."
"But... we're going to report to Lord Li."
"No need, your Ministry of Punishment and our Dali Temple are jointly ordered to handle this case. Now the Dali Temple is going to be thoroughly investigated, and you, Mr. Li, must not stop it. This official has no time to wait for you to come and go, and if you waste time, the above will investigate it, but It's a big matter of losing your head." Yu Shaoqing brought out the air.
Intimidating.
The two jailers thought about it, but in the end they were both greedy and fearful of death.
then-
"Then Master Yu comes in with me."
Lead people in.
But when Ji Yunshu got on his heels, he was stopped by another jailer, "This one, please stay, the prison is heavy, and Master Yu can go in alone."
Uh!
Ji Yunshu was blocked and lowered his head even lower.
Worry about being seen.
The next moment, Yu Shaoqing slapped the jailer on the forehead, "He is the official's recorder and records the details of the case. Dali Temple needs to set up a file, and she is indispensable."
"Yes..." The jailer covered his head and stepped back.
Give way!
Yu Shaoqing pulled Ji Yunshu, and the two entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment smoothly.
Although the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is very large, it is not far from the provinces and states. There is a damp breath in the nostrils, and there are even some smells of feet and rotting things.
Muffled!
Very disgusting.
To put it uglier, it's like a dirt place.
After arriving at the cell where Zhang Daqi was imprisoned.
The jailer said, "Sir, the people are inside, but...the people were speechless when they were escorted to the punishment department. I'm afraid you won't be able to ask anything."
"You don't need to worry about this, just open the door."
"what?"
"Ah for what?"
"He's a repeat offender. It's better for adults to ask outside."
Yu Shaoqing gave him a hard look, "You also know that he can't speak, through the stake, what do you want this officer to ask?"
"This… "
"Open."
The jailer trembled, and had no choice but to take out the key and open the door.
Yu Shaoqing, "You step back, Dali Temple asks the case, no one will listen, if there is something, they will call you."
"Yes."
The jailer withdrew.
After the people left, Ji Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Shaoqing said quickly, "Mr. Ji, you go in and ask, I'll be watching outside."
"Yeah." She hurried in.
In the cell, Zhang Daqi was paralyzed on the ground like a dead man, his clothes were stained with blood, and the blood was all over the straw. He opened his mouth full of blood, but couldn't say a word.
She crouched down and called out a few words.
"Zhang Daqi? Zhang Daqi?"
Zhang Daqi said "uh uh" a few times and frowned.
It seems scared!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." The tone was gentle.
"Uh… "
After struggling for a while, he finally calmed down.
Ji Yunshu: "If you want to live, tell me honestly and I will ask you something. If so, you will nod your head, if not, you will shake your head."
Zhang Daqi opened his mouth and seemed to understand.
"People... did you kill them?"
"Uh!"
Shaking his head hard.
"You didn't kill anyone, but... you were there, weren't you?"
no respond.
"As of now, you don't need to worry anymore, and you don't need to cover up anyone."
"Uh."
"You were at the scene and saw the murderer kill with your own eyes, right?"
Zhang Daqi looked uncomfortable and painful, and the seven scars on his face seemed to be wrinkled together, as if there was something unspeakable.
After a while, he nodded, and two lines of tears streamed down the corners of his eyes.
Ji Yunshu continued to ask, "You know that person? He is also from Zhangjia Village, isn't he?"
Asked about this, Zhang Daqi suddenly gasped loudly, clutching the blood-stained straw with both hands.
The feet are also pushing forward vigorously!
"Uh… "
Emotions are out of control.
It's like you can't breathe.
A pair of weak eyes suddenly opened wide...
