Chapter 63 Sophistry

Zhao Jin sat at the top of the lobby, looking down at Xu Yongshen.

Xu Yongshen's hands were tied and he stood at the bottom, his eyes looking like he was about to spit out fire.

Takeda, who was standing behind Xu Yongshen, showed a sly smile and kicked his right leg forward.

The unsuspecting Xu Yongshen was forced to kneel on the ground by the force of his knee bend, with a "bang" sound.

"Bold!" Xu Yongshen glared at Takeda fiercely.

Takeda didn't pay much attention, folding his arms with a sneer on his lips.

"Master Xu," Zhao Jin said calmly, drawing Xu Yongshen's eyes back to him, "Why don't you explain why you were at the murder scene?"

"Is it possible that Mr. Xu is related to the murderer, or that Mr. Xu is the murderer?" Zhao Jin's voice was very soft in the last half of the sentence.

"What Mr. Zhao said is too inappropriate. I just went to investigate and maybe I can find something." Xu Yongshen's eyes darkened and he said calmly.

Zhao Jin smiled and said, "So Mr. Xu is here to share my worries?"

"Don't worry about sharing your worries, just fulfill your responsibilities." Xu Yongshen stood up from the ground, his back straight.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, when did I ask you to get up?" Zhao Jin leaned forward and stared at Xu Yongshen closely.

Hearing this, Takeda kicked him again.

However, Xu Yongshen was already on guard. He not only ducked to the side, but also tried to fight back.

Liang Zengxiang's upper body did not move, his eyes did not change at all, but his feet quickly and accurately kicked Xu Yongshen's buttocks when he turned around and handed his back to him.

Xu Yongshen staggered two steps forward. Takeda looked at the right moment, grabbed Xu Yongshen's shoulders, and directly pushed him to his knees on the ground.

"You are going too far!"

Xu Yongshen's eyes were red, "Master Zhao is bullying the subordinates. Aren't you afraid that the king of Liang will find out about the matter?!"

King Liang?

Zhao Jin raised his eyelids and said, "It seems that you are related to the Crown Prince."

"Zhao Jin, even if you are not afraid, what about your mother?" Xu Yongshen smiled sinisterly, "Do you think the Crown Prince will eventually attack Mrs. Ning?"

"He doesn't dare to take action now." Zhao Jin remained unmoved.

"Hahaha! But if something happens to you, will the Crown Prince and Princess take action?"

"Master Zhao, how about the charge of slandering an official of the imperial court? I went to assist in the investigation, but Master Zhao took the opportunity to frame me and humiliate me."

Zhao Jin chuckled, "It's a false accusation. What evidence does Mr. Xu have to prove that I am a false accusation?"

Xu Yongshen suppressed his smile and looked at the confident Zhao Jin warily, "Does Mr. Zhao have any evidence to prove that the official is the murderer?"

"Not yet."

Hearing the word "temporary", Xu Yongshen's pupils shrank, "Zhao Jin, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter what I mean," Zhao Jin glanced at Xu Yongshen lightly, and spoke softly, but Xu Yongshen's heart suddenly tightened, "What matters is that Mr. Xu has never done anything untoward."

The atmosphere in the entire lobby suddenly solidified, with Takeda and Liang Zengxiang guarding Xu Yongshen on the left and right.

Xu Yongshen was still kneeling, clenching his fists fiercely, "Master Zhao..."

Without waiting for Xu Yongshen to finish, Zhao Jin continued: "Furthermore, Mr. Xu keeps saying that he is going to investigate the case, so why not go during the day and instead go sneakily at night?"

"The duty of a county lieutenant is to be responsible for the military and public security of a county. Originally, Yunzhou County was the governor of Yunzhou County before I took office, so the county lieutenant and the county magistrate were asked to assist in handling county affairs."

"Now, this case should not be within the scope of Mr. Xu's responsibilities, right?"

"So, how can you say that you are responsible?"

Zhao Jin pressed forward every sentence, and in the cold weather, beads of sweat actually appeared on Xu Yongshen's forehead.

"Xiaguan, I just want to share your worries."

"Share the worries?" Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and said with unclear meaning: "Did Mr. Xu see the notice?"

Xu Yongshen rolled his eyes and said, "I see."

In any case, he couldn't possibly say he didn't see it.

"In this case, Mr. Xu should know that you cannot enter without my permission."

Xu Yongshen clenched his cheeks and said nothing.

Zhao Jin smiled and said, "So, is it not an exaggeration for me to suspect that Mr. Xu is related to this case, or even a suspect?"

Even though Xu Yongshen was already vomiting blood in his heart, he could not refute even a single sentence.

"Take the person under custody." Zhao Jin stood up, "Until the truth comes out, we can only wrong Mr. Xu."

"Master Zhao, you are serious." Xu Yongshen gritted his teeth, wishing he could swallow Zhao Jin alive.

Takeda took the people away, but Liang Zengxiang stayed.

"Sir, based on this alone, we may not be able to convict Xu Yongshen."

Liang Zengxiang frowned, "Xu Yongshen's hands and feet are too clean. All the insiders have been killed. The only one who knows Chen Jin is a grasshopper in the same boat as Xu Yongshen. He will definitely not be betrayed."

"Chen Jin is not necessarily the only one who knows."

"Sir, are you saying that there were still fish that slipped through the net back then?" Liang Zengxiang's eyes lit up.

Zhao Jin twitched the corners of his lips, "Skynet is very sparse and there are no leaks. As long as it has been done, there will be traces."

Just like back then, he was slandered as a rogue police officer, but he was eventually found out and cleared.

But at that time, he was already used to wandering and was unwilling to return to the place where he had suffered so much injustice.

All the enthusiasm I once had has been wiped out, and there is no need to go back.

"grown ups."

Xu Qi walked in quickly.

Liang Zengxiang stepped forward and patted Xu Qi on the shoulder, "You kid, you are back!"

"You have been missing for several days suddenly. If you hadn't said that you were sent out to do something, I would have thought that you were assassinated by Xu Yongshen and the others."

"Damn it." Xu Qi rolled his eyes.

"You can't expect me to order something good."

Liang Zengxiang laughed playfully, "Nonsense, I obviously hope you will be well. If you really die, I will still have to spend part of the money to buy you a coffin for burial!"

Seeing the two of them fighting, Zhao Jin laughed and knocked on the armrest of the chair, "Let's get down to business."

"Did you hear that?" Xu Qi slapped away Liang Zengxiang's hand on his shoulder and said seriously:

"Sir, my subordinates went to investigate and found out that Xu Yongshen was very successful in cleaning up the case. The entire family of the two people who caught him committing the murder were silenced."

"Even everyone who had contact with them that day was silenced."

"It's just that he didn't expect that this family also has a younger son. Because of his poor health, he almost always lives in the temple and is regarded as a lay disciple."

"He happened to go home that day and bumped into him, but Xu Yongshen didn't notice."

Zhao Jin pondered for a moment, "Is there anyone left to guard you?"

"Yes, Tang Yixing and Seng Fan are guarding."

"Where is he now?"

"Yong'an County."

Zhao Jin tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, his eyes slightly lowered, and he remained silent.

Xu Qi and Liang Zengxiang looked at each other, but did not dare to say anything for fear of disturbing Zhao Jin.

a long time.

"Xu Qi." Zhao Jin opened his lips softly, "Tell Xie Lian about this."

Zhao Jin rubbed his chin with his hand, "Including Xu Yongshen."
