Brocade legend

Chapter 225
"My lord, the leader of that group of people is the Japanese who we had a conflict in Taibai Tower yesterday. When he led people out of the city, someone must have seen them. Your lord will send someone to ask, and you will know when you ask." Lu Bing responded calmly.

"Then why are there no Japanese corpses?" The prefect asked again.

Lu Bing sneered, looked at the prefect with a strange look, and said, "It must have been transferred away by the mastermind behind the scenes."

Lu Bing noticed a trace of strangeness in the eyes of the magistrate.

"My lord, after we killed the Japanese pirates blocking the way, we returned to Xiongcun immediately, and found that our little brother's mother was also killed, and the murder weapon was the bloody Japanese sword that was just confiscated by the head arrester." Lu Bing continued to state: "We suspect that the person who stopped and killed us was the same person who went to Xiongcun."

"Oh? There's still this matter?" The magistrate was a little surprised.

Looking at his expression, Lu Bing seemed to really not know about it.

"My lord, when they were arrested just now, they also mentioned that the subordinates have already sent someone to investigate." The arrester stepped forward and said with fists in his hands.

Seeing this situation, Lu Bing felt that the head catcher was a capable person.

"Well, we will discuss this matter after investigation." The magistrate said: "Let's talk about the murder outside the city first. You admit that you killed it, and the blood on your weapons also shows that your weapons are the murder weapons. No wrong?"

"That's right." Lu Bing said calmly.

"You said that you killed the Japanese pirates, but the corpses of the Japanese pirates were not found at the scene. Even if you went to the city gate to investigate, someone did see that the group of dead people followed the Japanese out of the city, and those confessions are not ironclad evidence. But your confessions, murder weapons But it is ironclad evidence, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, such a major murder case must be based on ironclad evidence, do you understand?" The magistrate said: "As for your claim that the mother was killed and the murder weapon was a Japanese sword, even if it is proved to be true, this It is another case, whether it is related to the bloody case outside the city or not..."

Lu Bing knew what the magistrate meant, that all the evidence of the bloody case outside the city was not good for himself and others.Therefore, Lu Bing interrupted the magistrate, saying: "Unless we were framed, all of this is just a trap."

"Trap?" The magistrate asked: "You are not locals, who will set you a trap?"

"My lord, I just said that the Japanese was the one who had a conflict with us yesterday..." Lu Bing recounted yesterday's incident in advance: "Leaving aside for now, why are there people who have not yet been ruled by the court under your lord's rule?" Licensed Japanese, swaggering around, even doing business."

Lu Bing said he wouldn't say anything, but he still stabbed the prefect, and the prefect naturally understood, his eyes were a little sharp.

"I feel that the truth of the matter is that Mr. Zhao was outraged. Afterwards, he found out about Wang Zhi's background and told the Japanese Otomo. He also took advantage of the convenience of the locals to inform Otomo of our whereabouts. Otomo then sent his samurai, He led his accomplices to intercept us, and lined up another team, went to Xiongcun, and killed my little brother's mother. But unexpectedly, Otomo underestimated our skills, and he sent someone to intercept us He was killed by us instead. After we escaped from danger and rushed to Xiongcun, someone reported to the government office and removed the body of the Japanese samurai. Then the Lord sent someone to go to Xiongcun to arrest him. We just didn't expect that we would turn around immediately, which happened to make you hit the right spot, and the whistleblower was also overjoyed, and this whistleblower...is Mr. Zhao, right? Including the person who just assisted the officials to round up me at the gate of the city... Well, that group of people crowded at the gate of the government office should also be sent by the Zhao family, right?"

Lu Bing has been observing the expression of the magistrate, when he said that the whistleblower is Mr. Zhao, the magistrate involuntarily turned his gaze aside.

"It seems that I'm right. The whistleblower is Mr. Zhao, right?" Lu Bing said with a smile, "Now, there are two facts. One is that we killed people for no reason, and then we threw ourselves into the trap. Now there is our Confessions and murder weapons are evidence. One fact is that Mr. Zhao colluded with Japanese pirates and killed my little brother’s mother as I just described. If you want to know the truth, do you need two other key people in this case to come and confront each other? Mr. Zhao Make friends with the Japanese."

"This..." The prefect's eyes slanted again involuntarily.

"Young Master Zhao, since you are here, why not come out, let's confront each other face to face, why hide our heads and show our tails." Lu Bing said loudly, Lu Bing had already figured out that Zhao Yilin must be in the back hall, waiting to see this good show.

After a few breaths, Zhao Yilin, son of the Zhao family, came out from the back hall.

"Brother, we meet again. We are so destined, yet you haven't asked your name?" Zhao Yilin bowed his hands to Lu Bing politely.

"My surname is Lu." Lu Bing said with a smile, "You must have heard what I just said."

"That's right, I did report Brother Lu." Zhao Yilin said solemnly, "However, it's not for personal grievances, but for justice."

"Righteousness?"

"That's right!" Zhao Yilin said righteously, "You came to our She County and killed so many people. As a native of She County, I naturally have to report it to the government."

"I don't know how Mr. Zhao knows that we killed those people?" Lu Bing asked with a smile.

"My family still has some contacts in the local area. The scene of your murder happened to be seen by someone. The man told me the trick, and hoped that I could seek an explanation for the deceased and show justice. My trick told me, and I will naturally do it for you." I, the people of She County, seek justice." Zhao Yilin Dayi said awe-inspiringly.

"Okay!" There was a burst of applause from outside the government office, Zhao Yilin cupped his hands and looked serious.

"Where is the person who saw our attack?" Lu Bing said calmly.

"That man was just a businessman passing by. He told me that the guy was tricking him, and he left She County quickly. He saw the cruelty of your murder, so he didn't dare to stay longer, lest he be retaliated by you." Zhao Yilin had already prepared his speech, He continued: "What's more, it doesn't matter whether he is present or not now. Haven't you already admitted that you killed the person? There is a murder weapon as evidence, and you still have sophistry?"

"Yes, this is a fact that I just said." Lu Bing said with a smile: "But there is another fact. I wonder if Mr. Zhao heard it?"

"Your talk is just nonsense, just talking nonsense." Zhao Yilin said unhurriedly: "That is just your inference, one-sided statement, and there is no evidence to support it. However, you murdered, but there is ironclad evidence Yes, the evidence is solid, no matter how much you argue, it is useless."
