The carriage galloped down the streets of Kyoto.
As long as he is out of the city, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Seeing that we are going to the gate of the city, 100 meters, 50 meters, 20 meters...
Suddenly, an officer rushed out from the left side of the city gate tower and stopped the carriage in front of the city gate.
"Yu~" The groom pulled the reins and looked at the officials who appeared in front of him, confused and trembling in his heart.
The officials were like black-faced gods.
Scary.
Because the carriage suddenly stopped, Liu Zhinan rolled back and bumped his back against the wall of the carriage, causing pain and pain. After sitting firmly, he asked outside, "What's wrong?"
The groom turned sideways and replied, "President Liu, we... were stopped by officers and soldiers."
"what?"
Liu Zhinan's heart was suddenly startled, and he felt guilty. He immediately opened the curtain and saw that the censor of the city was standing in front of his carriage. He led a team of men to block the gate of the capital, even at this time. The people who were rushing out of the city were also stopped.
At this moment, he panicked, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind, causing confusion in his heart.
The Imperial Censor of Xuncheng walked to his carriage and said politely, "President Liu, please dismount."
"Sir, Liu Mou is rushing out of the city to do some errands, please make it easier for you."
"This matter... Let's do it later! Now this official has ordered you to take you to the Punishment Department. There must be no mistake."
Uh!
Liu Zhinan's face changed greatly: "Sir, is this?"
"I don't know either, but there is an order from above."
"..." He hesitated to get out of the carriage.
"President Liu, don't make this officer embarrassed." The Imperial Censor of Xuncheng was polite, but his tone was commanding in an official tone.
Liu Zhinan's hand gripping the car curtain was very hard, and his entire face was also tightly twisted.
In the end, he had to get down from the carriage tremblingly.
But he asked reluctantly: "Sir, can you ask me, what is the crime?"
"This officer doesn't know."
"Then why did your lord take me to the punishment department?"
The censor of the city was impatient, "President Liu, don't ask so many questions. After the punishment department, you will naturally know."
Although he was calm on the surface, he was still scared in the end. It was like hanging him on the edge of a cliff. As soon as someone let go, he would definitely die. That feeling was both panic and panic.
The censor who patrolled the city gave him enough face, and did not let anyone grab him directly and let him walk on his own.
But this part of the journey, he had traveled a long time to get to the Ministry of Punishment. The sky was completely dark, and the hall of the Ministry of Punishment was very solemn. The expressions of the surrounding officials were cold, such as the cold-faced ghosts in the underworld, which made people’s back cold, while the Minister of Punishment was sitting on the high hall with a pair of sharp eyes. Since Liu Zhinan came in, he has been staring at him, his eyes seem to be condensed
The hot flames devoured him alive.
Liu Zhinan's scalp tightened.
Stepping in here means stepping into the gate of hell!
Easy to get in, hard to get out!
Standing in the middle of the hall, he bowed to the Minister of Punishment, "Sir."
"President Liu, this officer has been waiting for you for a long time."
"I don't know... What crime did Liu Mou commit? Why did he bring me here?" He asked with a low eyebrow.
The Minister of the Criminal Department snorted and said, "The Department of Criminal Justice handles cases, of course, dealing with serious crimes. Could it be that President Liu doesn't know?"
"Of course Liu knows, but what does your lord mean?"
"About Zhao Zhiwen's death, this officer still has some questions to ask you."
"Sir, may I ask you." Liu Zhinan maintained a calm appearance, and looked more respectful and honest.
The Minister of Punishment did not like his tricks, and repeatedly emphasized, "This is the Court of Punishment. If this official asks you, you must answer truthfully. On the night of Zhao Zhiwen's death, did you really see him leave the Brunei Pavilion through the back door?"
Liu Zhinan raised his eyes, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
"And after that? Where have you been?"
"Then go home and rest."
"When Zhao Zhiwen died, did you leave the Brunei Pavilion?"
Liu Zhinan was startled, his expression indifferent, and said, "It was already Zi Shi when he died. At that time, I was sleeping in the room."
"You have to understand that this is the court of the Ministry of Punishment. If you hide the truth, you will be guilty of one more crime." The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment raised his tone.
"Everything Liu said is true, not the slightest false," he said without blushing or beating.
However-
A voice came from behind the Punishment Court, "You are lying!"
Ji Yunshu, who saw Jing Rong holding his body in his arms, walked in from the left side of the court. Upon seeing this, the guard immediately brought two chairs and sat them down.
The moment Liu Zhinan saw Ji Yunshu, his pupils were slightly adjusted, his straight body was a little loose, and he trembled, "Mr. Ji, everything Liu said is true, not a lie."
Send you two words - hehe!
Ji Yunshu felt unwell and had a hoarse throat, "Since I can tell that you are lying, there is a reason."
"I don't understand what you mean, sir."
"Liu Zhinan, you thought your plan was flawless, but in fact... you're one move away!"
"My... plan? What's my plan?" His voice trembled.
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to go around in circles with him, and said directly, "You killed Zhao Zhiwen at all!"
"Uh..." Liu Zhinan's face changed greatly, he took a small step back with his feet, opened his mouth, and only said a word after a while, "I didn't kill the person, it has nothing to do with me, please ask Master Ji... Don't be wronged. people."
It sounds innocent, but in fact it is sophistry.
Jing Rong's eyes narrowed, "If you were wronged, why would you leave the city overnight?"
"Going out of town to run errands."
"You are clearly guilty of being a thief."
"I..." Jing Rong got up, walked around him, and said, "You know that the murderer was captured, it will definitely reveal that Zhao Zhiwen was not killed by her, and of course you will be found out at that time, but in your heart Afraid, he packed his bags and prepared to leave the capital, thinking that he would be able to sit back and relax after leaving the capital, but Liu Zhinan, Liu Zhinan
Zhinan, this Dalintianxia is not yours, how could it be possible to wash away the life of your hands by leaving the capital? "
As he spoke, he observed Liu Zhinan's expression.
Liu Zhinan's eyes swayed, his forehead was sweating coldly, and he was extremely nervous. He swallowed, and the hands inside the jacket kept shaking.
He knew that he had no way back, so it was right to kill him and deny it.
He raised his head and pretended to be righteous, "Liu did not kill anyone, what the lord said... It's just a guess, without real evidence, how can you conclude?"
As the saying goes, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water!
He has one foot in the gate of hell, what else is scary
Just in time, Ji Yunshu said, "Okay, if you want evidence, I will give it to you."
Everyone focused on her.
Wait for the next paragraph! I would like to see, what else can Liu Zhinan, who is struggling to say, have to say
