Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 292 Insufficient Evidence
"Let me go! Why do you arrest me! Why!"

In the imperial prison, Fang Zigui, whose hands and feet were bound, struggled violently, shaking the torture rack under him, and angry shouts filled the entire cell.

Zhao Fan knocked on the table impatiently, and warned: "Be quiet! This is the imperial prison. Since you are in, don't try to get out easily. You'd better be honest with me, otherwise you will suffer some crimes!"

Fang Zigui didn't listen at all, and tried his best to break free from the shackles, and the veins on his forehead burst out of anger: "What about the imperial prison! Even Feiyuwei, you can't arrest people at will! Bypass the Sanfa Division, indiscriminate This is against the rules and regulations!"

"I don't accept! I want to appeal! If we have the ability, let's go to His Majesty to argue and argue. I don't believe you guys dare to act recklessly like this! Do you know who I am? You dare to treat me like this. My father is the chief minister of the cabinet. He won't let me go. I passed you... ah!"

Fang Zigui cursed endlessly, suddenly screamed, arched his body in pain, and shut his mouth instantly.

Zhao Fan shook the whip in his hand, and glanced at him casually: "I told you to be quiet, but you didn't listen, you have to be whipped to be honest, it's really cheap."

A whip killed Fang Zigui's prestige, Zhao Fan calmly sat back on the chair, and began to routinely ask boring questions.

Fang Zigui was sweating profusely all over his body, and immediately wet his clothes, the pain was so painful that he could hardly speak.Faced with Zhao Fan's questions, most of the time he could only nod his head to express his affirmation. Fortunately, these questions were all about his basic information, just a simple confirmation, and Zhao Fan didn't care too much.

After the cutscene, Zhao Fan began to get down to the topic: "Recently, we were editing the fraud case of Gu Yunji and Bai Xingjia, the No. Is there a matter?"

Fang Zigui raised his head suddenly when he heard the words, and said angrily: "I didn't! Gu Yunji framed me! This is something that doesn't exist at all!"

Zhao Fan crossed his arms and looked at him leisurely: "You said he framed you, what evidence do you have?"

Fang Zigui choked, and it took him a long time to realize that he should be angry, and said in disbelief: "I was framed, Gu Yunji said that I was involved, you don't go to him for evidence, but you come to me for evidence, this is not absurd ?"

Zhao Fan's face turned cold, and he said gloomyly: "Of course we want to ask him for evidence, but at the same time it is necessary to interrogate you alone. Fang Zigui, you are now a prisoner in the imperial prison, you must recognize yourself Don't try to question my identity, especially note that during my interrogation you can only answer, not ask, understand?"

Fang Zigui recovered from the severe pain, and naturally refused to accept it obediently: "Prisoner? At present, there are no three courts to convict me, and you have no evidence at hand. How can you say that I am a criminal?"

"what--"

Zhao Fan lashed out again without hesitation, and said viciously: "I told you, don't try to question me! This is a prison, and it has fallen into the hands of our Feiyuwei. Except for Your Majesty, I don't care what I say. Use it, Sanfa is a fart!"

Fang Zigui was used to being unruly, trembling with pain, he wanted to retort: ​​"I understand, you have no evidence at all, and you have arrested me here based on Gu Yunji's two words, so reckless, you don't know what to do. Is there still Wang Fa in here!"

"Wang Fa? I will show you what Wang Fa is!"

Zhao Fan sneered twice, dipped the whip into the cold water, exerted more force than before, and "slapped" and "slapped" two whips on Fang Zigui's body. The pain was so painful that he almost lost the strength to howl. I can't even speak.

Four whips back and forth, Fang Zigui was finally convinced, Zhao Fan patted his sweaty face with the whip, and said proudly: "I dare not say anything else, as long as I enter the imperial prison, my rules It's Wang Fa, do you understand?"

Without waiting for Fang Zigui to answer, Zhao Fan sat back on his chair and said slowly, "Your Majesty said that any fraud involved in the imperial examination must be investigated strictly and quickly, and no clues should be let go. Don't It is said that there is a statement from an important person like Gu Yunji, even if a dog passes by, it will inevitably be caught by us and asked a few words."

"So, you'd better recognize the reality and recruit honestly, lest you have to suffer more."

Fang Zigui panted, and said in a weak voice: "...I did not participate in the imperial examination fraud, it was Gu Yunji who framed me. I have a grudge against him, and this time he must be trying to pull me into the water and bite me on purpose."

"Oh? You have a grudge against him?" Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "But I heard from Gu Yunji that you have a very good relationship with him, and you are a lifelong best friend, that's why he chose you to help him cheat together. of."

Fang Zigui was in a hurry: "I can't see each other with him, day and night I look forward to his disaster and disaster, wishing that he would die early, how could we be close friends with him!"

Zhao Fan was puzzled and said: "But you and Gu Yunji met when they were young. They were both classmates studying in Luxi Academy. Later, they were the first in the same year and worked together in the Imperial Academy for three years. Even the other officials of the Imperial Academy said that you usually never If there is no conflict, there will be enmity between the two of you?"

"It's not just you and Gu Yunji, but also Cheng Yan. The three of you all came from Luxi Academy. In the same year, you won the first and third places in the examination. It was said that you were as good as one person, and they collectively called you "Luxi Academy." Sanjie', you said you have a grudge against Gu Yunji, are you lying to ghosts?"

Fang Zigui was blocked by him, and he was so angry that he didn't know what to say: "No, no conflict doesn't mean he and I are close friends. There will be conflicts."

"Except for being in the Hanlin Academy, I have almost had no contact with him in the past three years. He got married and had children, and I have never been to his family to marry. If there is no enmity between the two of us, how could we cut off contact to this point!"

"Hmm—there are two points of truth." Zhao Fan rubbed his chin and pondered, "Since you have a grudge, then tell me what kind of grudge it is?"

Fang Zigui was naturally unwilling to tell him that his face and privacy were involved, and he avoided the question with evasive eyes: "...It's just an old story, there is nothing to say."

Hearing this, Zhao Fan, who was about to listen to gossip, suddenly collapsed: "Is it hard to say or not? I think you are lying. There is no hatred. You clearly want to exonerate yourself!"

Fang Zigui was in a hurry: "If Gu Yunji and I are really close friends, why would he bite me? There is not enough evidence of him cheating in the imperial examination. In this case, as long as he bites him to death and refuses to admit it, you will beat him to death. There is nothing you can do about him, so why bother to admit this and confess to me as a 'best friend'? Isn't this just intentional planting!"

"What's so strange about this? There are a lot of people who claim to be brothers of life and death, but they can't hold anything under two whips. They wish to push the blame on each other. I've seen this kind of dog bite dog scene a lot."

As he said that, Zhao Fan suddenly paused, his eyes were slightly cold: "Wait, how did you know that there is not enough evidence for Gu Yunji to cheat in the imperial examination?"
