Si Yiluo leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. Miao Cong was so shocked by Jueming's confession that he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't care much and trotted forward and called: "Sir, something big has happened! Go and have a look."
Bar!"
"What's going on?"
Under the flickering firelight, Miao Cong was sweating on his forehead and his hair almost stood on end.
Si Yiluo rushed to the prison with him. Jueming, who was being sentenced, was covered in blood. When he saw Si Yiluo, not only was he not afraid, his demeanor was even more crazy.
"The poor monk never expected that Master Si would dare to really punish the poor monk. He also didn't expect that the punishment in prison would be so terrible that even I couldn't bear it!"
Miao Cong moved a chair over, and Si Yiluo sat down and looked at him.
"Sir, this is a confession."
Si Yiluo read the ten lines at a glance, his face calm.
"Those killers were arranged by you, and little monk Kongyun was also used as a shield by you."
"Well, your identity before becoming a monk was actually a flower picker? The woman you abused..." Si Yiluo saw a familiar name in the list, "Chang Jiayu? The daughter of the late Protector Chang Zhi, has been
The late Concubine Jia, the mother-in-law of Prince Zhan?"
I see.
Si Yiluo sneered and looked up at the man hanging on the torture rack.
"Are you afraid that you will die too quickly?"
Monk Jueming vomited blood and laughed several times.
"I had to become a monk just to hide from the people in the Duke's palace! I've been suffocated all these years! Even if I confess, what will happen? This is a royal secret. Do you dare to report it?"
"I don't understand, why do you suspect me?"
Si Yiluo put down his confession and said calmly: "Why did you assassinate King Zhan?"
Jueming's laughter stopped.
Only the girl's cold voice echoed in the cell.
"Let me guess, someone must know your secret, promise to help you avoid being hunted by your enemies, promise to help you return to secular life, and keep you safe. The price is for you to kill King Zhan out of personal vendetta."
"You found the killer, and you killed Kong Yun. As long as you insist that you were deceived by Kong Yun, and you didn't know it, the case will become an unsolved case, and the mastermind behind the scenes will not be found at all. I said
Is that right?"
The expression on Jueming's face gradually solidified, and the girl's voice continued.
"Let me guess again, the killers you are looking for are all people who have a grudge against the Protectorate. They have never met you, so you are not afraid of their confession."
"Flower thieves should be extremely good at disguise. I guess the person behind the scenes they confessed to is definitely not the same person based on his appearance and body shape."
Miao Cong read through the confession that he had not yet submitted, and was dumbfounded.
"How do you know, sir? It is indeed true!"
Si Yiluo stretched out his hand, and Miao Cong hurriedly handed over the killer's confession. She looked at it twice.
"So, when I take them back to prison, you are not in a hurry to kill and silence them. You can also use them to divert the case to other directions and divert my attention. Am I right?"
"You haven't answered my question yet!" Jueming glared at her sternly, "Why did you doubt me?"
Si Yiluo curled his lips and said: "It's very simple. I asked the master who was responsible for entertaining the guests. His Highness King Zhan asked for bamboo sticks at the same time. After His Highness King Zhan left, more than a dozen pilgrims came to pray to the Buddha and ask for bamboo sticks. According to each pilgrim's and
The master’s confession in the temple connects a timeline.”
"At this time, the bamboo sticks were normal. It was not until Miss Shen entered that the bamboo sticks were replaced with the ones tied with silk thread. And you also told Miss Shen that if you want to unravel the bamboo sticks, you must go to the back mountain.
.”
"After that, the pilgrims waiting for their visas to be released have been waiting for you at the Main Hall. You were gone for a while, so you didn't have the chance to clean up the tail."
"Little Master Kongyun didn't know your plan at all, so he kept the lottery tube under the desk. You originally planned to see the task completed with your own eyes, then go back to your old job and use force against Miss Shen."
"It's just that you didn't expect that something unexpected would happen. Someone wanted to harm Miss Shen, and Miss Shen accidentally saved King Zhan."
"And after I showed up, you ran away immediately. You didn't take the main road, so you got a lot of mud on your feet and left traces on the mountain."
Miao Cong's eyes fell on his shoes, which were clean and free of mud.
"You were wearing Kong Yun's shoes. You were afraid that things would be exposed. After you came back, you hurriedly lured little master Kong Yun into the room and killed him. When you appeared in the hall again, my people had already surrounded the hall. Kong Yun
I've been in the main hall, but my shoes are covered with mud, and they don't fit well. This is a flaw."
"You strangled Kong Yun to death and hung him from the rafters to make it look like he committed suicide out of fear of crime. But you missed one thing. The locations of the strangulation marks were different and their struggling movements were also different. This is the second loophole.
.”
Si Yiluluo was painting, and Jueming's face was already ashen.
Everyone knows that Wei Heyan has vicious methods and careful thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Si Yiluo, the commander of the Jinyiwei who had only been in office for two days, would not be less generous.
"These plans of yours seem to be meticulous, but in fact they cannot withstand scrutiny. Even if Kong Yun is dead, he will still be suspicious of you."
"I admit defeat." Jueming said dejectedly, "I just want to be happy."
Si Yiluo smiled lightly and said: "It's not over yet. Tell me, where did you get that Jietian silk? Who instigated you to assassinate King Zhan behind the scenes? How did the other party know your identity before becoming a monk?"
…
At Yin Shi, Wei Heyan got up and washed himself under Si Hai's service.
"Master Governor, there is news from below that Mr. Si has caught the mastermind behind this."
Wei Heyan stopped wiping his face, and water dropped down his neck and into the collar.
"Who is the envoy?"
Si Hai shook his head and said: "I don't know. At that time, there were only two people in the prison, Miao Cong and Master Si. Monk Jueming was sentenced to thirty-six kinds of punishments. In the end, he couldn't bear it and just died."
"Someone died?"
Wei Heyan felt that ever since Si Yiluo appeared in his sight, he would always receive surprises.
With Miao Cong's ability in interrogating prisoners, if he deliberately tortures people, he can still give the prisoner a chance to breathe by using all 108 punishments on him.
Only thirty-six punishments are enough to kill people...
No, she had no taboos at all, and the Buddhist disciples were tortured without mercy?
What did she find out?
Wei Heyan was very curious.
Si Yiluo personally wrote a sealed memorial with the details of the case. Before leaving to go to court, he remembered that Sun En, the Minister of War, was still in prison.
So he took the person out with his hands.
When Sun En opened his eyes and saw Si Yiluo, it was as if he had seen a ghost. He struggled to back away, but the wounds on his body were affected, making him grimace in pain.
"Congratulations to Mr. Sun. Your Majesty will not hold you accountable for the time being. However, these days, it is best for you to thank guests behind closed doors and not see anyone else, so as not to implicate other people."
She meant something. Sun En was also a human spirit and knew that the emperor was trying to beat him. Although he didn't know what the emperor meant by handling him gently, his purchase of an official position had already been registered in front of the emperor, and he could only pick it up in the future. The tail makes a man.
Don’t think about what will happen next.
Sun En burst into tears with excitement.
Since the imperial court established the imperial edict prison, only a handful of people have come out of the imperial edict prison. He thought he would end up here too, but who would have thought that there would be a bright future one day!
"Thank you, Mr. Si!"
"You don't need to thank me. You should thank me for your own destiny."
After the morning court, Si Yiluo was left alone to present the secret memorial. After Emperor Yao read the secret memorial, he fell silent again.
The quietness of the imperial study room could be heard. Wei Heyan looked at the girl's kneeling body and felt extremely familiar with this scene.
"Who was present when Jueming was interrogated?"
Emperor Yao's voice was filled with a bone-chilling chill, and Si Yiluo said respectfully: "I and Miao Cong."
Jueming was already dead. Emperor Yao took a deep look at Si Yiluo and said expressionlessly: "Get up, you have contributed a lot this time. What reward do you want?"
