Chapter 372 The truth behind the truth ([-])

"It's the same when the lower official kneels to answer the question. If Qing Baylor asks a question, the lower official dare not not answer."

Hearing that Hong Qing didn't order to take off her top hat, and didn't say any words to pursue responsibility, Chunhui's already ashesed heart suddenly became alive again, even though he knew that there was little possibility of reversing the case, Still keeping some luck, he kowtowed a few times, and replied humbly.

"That's up to you, Ben Belle asked you, when did the water accumulate here? And who first discovered it, huh?"

Since Chunhui insisted on kneeling, Hongqing didn't bother to force her, so she nodded and asked calmly.

"Returning to Qing Baylor, it is calculated to be in late November. If the official remembers correctly, it should be on the 27th. On that day, the official was having breakfast, and Cui Langzhong suddenly reported that it was in the underground palace. There was a water seepage, and Xiaguan rushed here in a hurry. When he saw that the hall was full of water, his heart was already confused, and he was confused for a while, and mistrusted the villain's slander, so he gave birth to a lie. The heart of retribution, the lower officials deserve to die, the lower officials deserve to die."

Facing the mountain of irrefutable evidence, Chunhui didn't dare to make any more sophistry, so he could only honestly tell the inside story of the concealment.

"Not reporting what you know is already a serious crime. In order to cover up the truth, killing people and silencing them is even more treasonous. Why should such villains need to be tried again? The lower officials suggested that they should be taken down immediately and brought back to the capital to be convicted! "

As soon as Chunhui's confession came out, Qi Shiwuke regained his energy, and before Hong Qing could express anything, he bluffed from the side, trying to force Hong Qing to submit.

"Qi Shangshu, don't forget your deputy envoy status, why should you give me advice when Ben Baylor is acting?"

Since the faces of each other were irreconcilably torn apart, Hongqing naturally couldn't show any kindness to Qi Shiwu. Seeing Qi Shiwu jumping up and down endlessly, his face suddenly turned cold, and he reprimanded him unceremoniously: .

"It's the lower officials who overstepped, it's just..."

Qi Shiwu had been slapped in the face by Hong Qing several times today, and he was very annoyed in his heart, but no matter how annoyed he was, it was not his turn to go crazy because of the difference in status between them, so he had no choice but to I admitted my mistake first, but I didn't want to let it go, but I wanted to make some more comments.

"Shangshu Qi, don't talk too much, Ben Baylor has his own opinion!"

Hong Qing didn't want to listen to Qi Shiwu's explanation at all, and interrupted Qi Shiwu's words with a domineering wave of her hand. Regardless of how ugly his face was, she turned her head and looked at the doctor Cui Biao who was standing tremblingly by the side, with a gloomy expression. Fa asked: "Cui Langzhong, explain to Ben Belle how the water seepage was discovered and what did you do, huh?"

"Return to Qing Baylor, I'll be an official, I'll be an official..."

Cui Biao is Jiu Ye's enveloping slave, who was just released here three years ago, and he is terribly afraid of Hong Qing's ability and methods. When he heard Hong Qing asked about himself, he panicked, Kneeling down on the ground, he was about to quibble, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't have the guts to continue.

"Cui Langzhong, don't be nervous. If you have anything to say, just speak up. Ben Baylor is listening."

Seeing Cui Biao's terrified appearance, Hong Qing was extremely disgusted in her heart, but at this moment, the two sides were in the same boat, Hong Qing would not show the disgust on her face, but slowed down In a tone of voice, he ordered as calmly as possible.

"Ah, that's right, Xiaguan happened to be on duty that night, and everything was normal at the beginning, but before the shift was over, one of Xiaguan's squad leaders suddenly reported that there was water seepage in the underground palace. I didn't dare to delay this matter, so I hurriedly reported it to Master Chun. As for what happened next, it was Master Chun's decision. The subordinate was only following orders, not what he wished. "

With ironclad evidence in front of him, Cui Biao didn't dare to deny it, but he didn't tell the whole truth, but put most of the blame on Chunhui.

"So, the water in this underground palace seeped out overnight?"

Hong Qing did not comment on Cui Biao's confession, but nodded thoughtfully, and asked in a calm tone.

"It's true if you go back to Qing Baylor."

Cui Biao didn't understand what Hong Qing's intention was at all, and he didn't think about it, so he answered affirmatively.

"Well, who is the team leader who reported the letter? Where is it now?"

Hearing that the water in the underground palace had seeped out overnight, Hong Qing's eyes lit up immediately, and she obviously had a rough guess in her heart, but she didn't say much, but continued to ask questions calmly road.

"This... ah, the team leader died of a sudden illness."

Cui Biao obviously had a ghost in his heart. When Hong Qing asked about the whereabouts of the team leader, his face immediately turned pale. Trembling with fright, he lowered his head in a panic and gave a vague answer.

"Well, died of sudden illness?"

Hong Qing was not so easy to be fooled, once she heard Cui Biao's words, she immediately knew that there must be something tricky inside, raised her brows, and let out a cold voice.

"Reporting to Qing Baylor, Cui Langzhong's words are all lies. The group leader and a dozen of the people were ordered to silence them. This matter will be able to testify at the end."

Seeing that Hong Qing's face turned cold, Mu Chun'a thought he had seized the opportunity, so he interjected.

"You're talking nonsense, it's absolutely nothing, Qing Baylor, Mu Chun'a is spitting blood, you have to make the decision for the lower official, the lower official never did this."

As soon as Mu Chun'a came out like this, Cui Biao, who was already flustered, became even more panicked. Cold sweat flowed like a spring on his forehead, but he refused to admit it in his mouth, and complained frantically.

"Does General Mu have any evidence for this?"

Hong Qing ignored Cui Biao's cry for grievances, but looked at Mu Chun'a sharply, and asked in a cold voice.

"So that Qing Beile can know that Cui Langzhong wants to use the hands of the general to do this dirty thing, and the general is deeply favored by His Majesty, how can he join forces with him, and the general promises false promises, but in fact, he has already protected everyone In the camp, if Qing Beile doesn't believe it, the general can call all the certificates together, and confront Cui Langzhong clearly."

Mu Chun'a smiled triumphantly, and flipped out his hole card without any scruples.

"Mu Chuna, you bastard, I will fight with you!"

Cui Biao and Mu Chun'a used to be called brothers and sisters, and they often drank and hung out together, and their relationship was as good as wearing a pair of pants, but they never expected that Mu Chun'a was so calculated to plot against him. Hearing what he said, the anger in his heart could no longer be restrained, he jumped up, and planned to fight Mu Chun'a with his life.

"Your Majesty!"

Cui Biao's movements were swift and violent, but it's a pity that someone was faster than him. Before he could fully jump up, he flew up and kicked Cui Biao's leg unceremoniously after hearing Li Minxing's shout. , immediately kicked him to the ground, and when he was about to struggle again, two palace guards rushed forward and knocked him to the ground without any explanation.

"Little man, shameless, bastard..."

Cui Biao struggled and roared, but the two palace guards behind him were all strong men, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get rid of it, they could only lie on the ground and cursed.

"General Mu, the witnesses you mentioned are all in the barracks?"

Hong Qing ignored Cui Biao's frenzied scolding, looked at Mu Chun'a solemnly, and asked with a slight frown.

"The last general dare not lie to Qing Baylor with false words, that's the truth."

Mu Chun'a proudly glanced at Cui Biao, who was constantly cursing, and replied with great determination.

"Well, that's good, Li Shun, tell a few brothers to go to the barracks together, and bring all the witnesses to Ben Baylor."

Hong Qing nodded approvingly, waved her hand, and gave instructions to Li Shun who was following her in an unquestionable tone.

"twitter!"

Hearing Hong Qing's order, Li Shun didn't dare to be negligent, and hastily complied, and then walked up to Mu Chun'a in two big strides, waved his hands, and said please.

"This……"

Mu Chun'a obviously didn't expect Hong Qing to testify as a witness, so he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Why, is General Mu very embarrassed, huh?"

Hong Qing didn't intend to let Mu Chun'a take control of the key to the case, so her face turned cold, and she said in displeasure.

"Ah, no, the general will ask people to bring witnesses."

Seeing that Hong Qing's expression was not right, Mu Chun'a didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and responded respectfully, took a token from his waist, and handed it to a Goshha who was waiting beside him, and simply confessed After a few words, he was sent to accompany Li Shunzi to the barracks to mention people.

"Cui Langzhong, Ben Belle asked you, where was you and what did you do that night on duty, huh?"

After sending Li Shun away, Hong Qing didn't talk to Mu Chun'adoo anymore, but walked slowly to Cui Biao who was pinned to the ground, and asked in a cold voice.

"That night, Mu Chun'a, the bastard, invited the officials to a banquet. Later, the officials were too drunk to drink, so they got drunk in the camp. They didn't wake up until Chen Shi. Before they got to the underground palace, they knew about the water seepage. thing."

Cui Biao's memory is obviously good, just as Hong Qing finished speaking, he already answered with gritted teeth.

"Well, so I haven't witnessed the details of the water seepage with my own eyes?"

Hong Qing nodded, and continued to ask questions calmly.

"Indeed."

Cui Biao didn't understand why Hong Qing asked such a question at all, but he didn't hesitate, and answered with incomparable affirmation.

"General Mu, is what Cui Biao said true?"

Hong Qing squinted at Mu Chun'a, and asked calmly.

"true."

Although Hong Qing's question was just such a simple sentence, an ominous premonition surged in Mu Chun'a's heart because of it. After his eyes flickered a few times, he spit out two words from his mouth.

"Well, that's good, come here, then dig the floor and drain all the accumulated water for Ben Belle!"

Seeing the twinkle in Mu Chun'a's eyes, Hong Qing's original suspicion in her heart became more certain, but she didn't ask any more questions, but got enough energy and drank loudly.
