I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 562 Interrogation
Government office lobby.

Although it was late at night, the officials on duty were all in the lobby at this moment. Seeing Mr. Wei coming, Master Yao and the others immediately got up.

"There is no need to be too polite, the trial is important." Master Wei said in a deep voice, his eyes were on the man in the black dress who was being escorted and kneeling in the lobby, he seemed to have not been weak yet, his figure was thin, and at first glance he was lost It is not easy to find in the crowd.

"Who is kneeling under the hall?" Master Wei slapped his gavel, and looked sharply at the young man with indifferent eyes. Just from these too cold eyes, he knew that this was by no means an ordinary person, but more like a dead man raised by a big family. scholar.

Silence spread in the lobby, and the young man kept his face blank, as if he didn't hear Mr. Wei's question at all, and he didn't seem to care whether there would be a big torture next.

Zhan Feiyu, Jiao Lianping, and Qiu Huaixin had no official positions, so they were just sitting in the left corner of the courtroom at the moment.

Jiao Lianping looked forward, "It looks like he won't confess."

"A well-trained dead soldier will usually commit suicide when he is captured. He must have the determination to die." Qiu Huaixin has also seen the dead soldiers of the Qiu family, and he can tell the difference between these people with just one glance. Indifferent but firm, that is the look that only those who are not afraid of death can have.

Zhan Feiyu glanced at him and said nothing. Li Li was also from the old man's side in the Jiao Mansion before. They may not be the strongest in skills, but they are definitely the most loyal.

If Mr. Wei can't interrogate him, the Forbidden Dragon Guard will definitely be able to, but Zhan Feiyu doesn't think that this person can reveal any useful information. They are almost the lowest level people, and they just act according to orders, and the information they know is extremely limited.

Master Wei frowned slightly, and knew that this was a hard problem, but what should be interrogated still needs to be interrogated.

Time passed little by little, and there was a bloody smell in the courtroom. After a lot of torture, there was still no confession. He even bit off his tongue in order not to make a sound. The blood in his mouth looked a little scary.

"My lord, it will be dangerous if you continue to fight." Detective Chen quickly said in a low voice. Usually, the most feared thing when arresting prisoners is this kind of toughness. They are really not afraid of death. Unless they find the weakness of these prisoners, they would rather die. Will not confess.

"Take him down and keep him under strict guard, and then let the doctor go to the prison. You can use whatever medicine you want, but you must be careful, and you must not let people die in the cell." After Master Wei finished speaking, he looked at the sitting Qiu Bingde, who was listening below, no matter whether he confessed or not, at least he could wash the dirty water off Third Young Master Qiu's body.

"Yes." Inspector Chen also understands that the matter is of great importance, no matter whether it is grabbing medicine or decocting medicine, he will never pretend to be someone else's hand, and he must be careful in eating and drinking, so that no one can get the medicine.

Thinking about it like this, Detective Chen quickly felt his head was getting bigger, but he didn't dare to relax at all.

……

On the second day, Zhan Feiyu was still catching up on sleep in the other courtyard, and the government office had already released the news that the murderer of Mrs. Dou had been captured. Early in the morning, they sent arresters to the third room of the Qiu family to inform Qiu Jingyuan and Mrs. Xu.

He Nuan listened intently to the movement in the inner room, and walked a few steps into the yard before saying, "Did you kill anyone?"

"Not only our people, Mr. Qiu and the government have sent people to guard them strictly. It's just an insignificant chess piece. It doesn't matter if you are caught or killed." He Sheng also lowered his voice.

Cai Zhiyuan has been imprisoned for so many days, and no one went to rob the prison, and no one murdered him secretly, which is enough to show that these people know very little information.

He Nuan followed the fragrance of the flowers and looked towards a golden osmanthus tree in the corner. The osmanthus flowers that bloomed late this evening can be collected to make sweet osmanthus flowers. You can put some in cakes or sweet soup in the future, "Jilongwei What's the plan here?"

The old man did indeed hide a deep secret, and those who could be found by the Forbidden Dragon Guard in a short period of time were small fish and shrimps, and they followed orders just like Li Li and Tu Daniu.

Because it is a single-line contact, the upline does not take the initiative to contact, they don't know what to do, let alone the identity of the upline.

"The Holy One has already been secretly informed." He Sheng guessed that the Holy Majesty would not investigate with great fanfare, which would cause turmoil in Qianzhong Road. Besides, the crown prince has not been established, and the whole body will be affected by it. The Holy Majesty hopes to see the stability and peace of Daqing.

Therefore, it is very likely that the forbidden dragon guards continued to investigate secretly. They did not know the existence of the old man before, and this force was involved in the previous dynasty. They have been hiding for too long, even longer than the forbidden dragon guards have existed. So it's normal not to be able to find out for a while.

But in time, with the all-pervasive means of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, he will be able to investigate step by step, and it is only a matter of time before he finds out the identity of the old man.

Just as He Nuan was about to speak, he heard a sound from the inner room, and hurried into the room, "Miss, are you awake?"

Propping up his body with one hand, Zhan Feiyu looked out the window, the sun was bright outside, and he didn't come back until about midnight last night, and slept until noon, "Ah Nuan, didn't I miss two meals?"

"The lunch is still warming on the stove." He Nuan walked over with a smile, took the clothes in the cabinet and waited for Zhan Feiyu to get up, while continuing: "The government released the news in the morning, Mr. Qiu After adding fuel to the flames, no one in Qianzhong Prefecture now thinks that Mr. Qiu forced the elders to death."

"Forbidden Dragon Guards are guarding in the dark, and the demons and ghosts of Qianzhong Dao dare not make too much movement." Zhan Feiyu bent down to put on soft-soled embroidered shoes, and raised his hand to smooth the falling hair behind his ears.

Thinking of Qiu Huaixin's deep belief in Jiao Lianyu, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help laughing, "If it weren't for the presence of Forbidden Dragon Guards, Master Qiu would definitely be criticized this time."

When Zhan Feiyu sat down on the embroidered pier, He Nuan picked up the horn comb and combed her hair, "The case will be closed in a few days, and the private property sealed up in the government office warehouse will probably be returned to Qiu Jingyuan soon."

"Ms. Dou died in vain. We will go to express condolences at that time, and talk to Qiu Jingyuan by the way." Zhan Feiyu looked at the round face in the bronze mirror, and raised his hand to pinch it sadly. Why did the flesh on this cheek fade away? not go down.

"Yes, this servant will have someone prepare the ceremony later." He Nuan agreed, Qiu Jingyuan probably didn't know what the token was, as long as the conditions offered were high enough, she would agree.

……

Different from the bleakness of Xiang Changshou's funeral, although the third wife of the Qiu family was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, as long as Mr. Qiu is still the chief envoy of Qianzhong Road, no one will openly fight with the third wife even if it is out of face. Housewives can't make it through.

Dou's death was violent, so there were five days before and after the funeral, half the street was full of flying paper money, and at the intersection there were men from the Qiu family in mourning clothes who were in charge of receiving relatives and friends, as well as stewards and servants.

"Brother, please park the carriage this way." The two servants rushed to meet him and directed He Sheng to park the carriage in a cleared alley on the other side.

Second Uncle Qiu, who was standing at the table drinking water at the intersection, glanced casually, then hurriedly put down his glass in a daze, "Taozi, hurry back and send a message that Miss Zhan is here to express her condolences."

"Yes." Qiu Changtao's legs turned upside down very quickly, the third room now only has female relatives and worthless men, but the Xu family and the others are all adopted, and the relationship with the Dou family in the past was just a matter of face.

Therefore, in order not to lose the face of the Qiu family, the family not only let the Second Uncle Qiu, who is a subsidiary of the family, come over to be in charge of the reception, but also asked the respected third elder of the Qiu family to preside over many matters of the funeral. As for the female relatives, Qiu Bingde's wife Mrs. Wu came over to take care of her.

The sound of mourning music was accompanied by the sound of crying. Zhan Feiyu was led by Mrs. Wu to rest in a small courtyard separated by a waterside pavilion after expressing condolence in the mourning hall.

Accompanied by Mrs. Xu, Qiu Jingyuan had just sent an elder of a family member out of the house. At this moment, her pale face was full of gloom, and a large piece of her forehead was bruised because of the vigil. In addition, she was dressed in mourning clothes. She was gloomy, and her whole body was full of yin and hostility, not at all like a girl in her teens.

"Zhan Feiyu is here?" Listening to the little maid's reply, Qiu Jingyuan raised her eyes to look at Ting Lanxuan, the corners of her chapped and bloodshot mouth curled up, and her sombre smile made people panic.

Xu's eyes lit up for a moment. The direct branch and their three families have been hostile for many years. In private, they are really fighting to the death, so Xu also has self-knowledge. Dare to have a relationship with this niece and daughter-in-law.

But Zhan Feiyu is different, the little girl can make friends with that dude Jiao Lianping, if she can get her kindness, the situation of their third wife will definitely be much better.
