Yuan Zonggao never expected that a fire would actually burn Zhu Houcong, and he immediately looked at Hou Chun with sharp eyes.
At this time, even Hou Chun did not dare to stand up and speak out for Jian Mao Dao. He came later and did not know the situation at that time. Based on the descriptions of people at the scene, it sounded like Jian Mao Dao had done it.
"Capture the person and imprison him pending trial."
Yuan Zonggao did not want to interrogate the prisoner on the spot to avoid exposing anything embarrassing.
He walked towards Zhu Houcong. After all, the prince was not awake yet.
Zhang Zuo reminded: "Yuan Changshi, should you hand over the prisoner to the government or county government for trial by the government?"
Yuan Zonggao glared at him. Even though Zhang Zuo had a high status in the palace, he still couldn't compare with Yuan Zonggao. His eyes were clearly reminding him, do you know what "family scandals should not be publicized"? His own family set fire, and he still couldn't compare with Yuan Zonggao.
You want to send the case to the government for trial? Do you think the matter is not big enough?
Zhang Zuo lowered his head in shame, seeming to realize that his suggestion was inappropriate.
"It's unjust. It's really not the fault of a villain..." The sharp-haired bull was taken away. A group of craftsmen were trembling with fear, fearing that the sharp-haired bull would be implicated.
Yuan Zonggao walked up to Zhu Houcong, squatted down and carefully diagnosed Zhu Houcong's pulse, frowning deeply, as if he was aware of it.
Zhang Zuodao: "I've had the doctor check my pulse before, and there's nothing serious."
Yuan Zonggao said "hmm" and thought for a while, then looked at Zhu Hao who was slumped on the ground and asked: "Why...why did he come to you?"
Even though Zhang Zuo and others had revealed Zhu Houcong's identity, Yuan Zonggao still wanted to hide it in front of Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao is not afraid that Yuan Zonggao will find clues. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, hearing, asking, and asking questions. To put it more bluntly, it means adapting to circumstances. Ask about what you have experienced recently, check the symptoms, etc., make a rough prediction, and then put some vague things into consideration.
Apply the theory...
Do you want to discover the presence of anesthetics made from datura and aconite in Zhu Houcong's body by diagnosing his pulse?
Don't think of yourself as a demi-god.
Zhu Hao lowered his head and said as if admitting his mistake: "Zhu Si came to play with me... We have known each other before."
"Um!?"
Yuan Zonggao frowned when he heard this. It was obvious that he had no trust in Zhu Hao. Of course he would guess that Zhu Houcong happened to appear at the fire scene, which was Zhu Hao's residence. Maybe Zhu Hao was up to something.
Lu Song saw Yuan Zonggao's suspicion and quickly explained: "Zhu Hao was not at the scene when the fire broke out."
Yuan Zonggao glanced at him and asked: "Do you know whether the murderer who set the fire has any accomplices?"
Lu Song was speechless for a moment.
Are you saying that Zhu Hao and Jian Maoluo are in the same group?
What a joke!
It was clearly Jian Maolu who wanted to burn Zhu Hao to death, but in the end he accidentally implicated Zhu Houcong...
Zhu Hao stood up with an angry look on his face: "Since your palace doesn't trust me, why would you let me go into the palace as a companion? I tried my best to rescue people from the fire. Is it still my fault? Then I should have ignored it at that time.
, leave directly to avoid the tragic end of almost being killed in a sea of fire!"
Faced with Yuan Zonggao's doubts, Zhu Hao could only try to express his anger.
Yuan Zonggao looked Zhu Hao up and down with his profound eyes.
At first, he couldn't believe that a seven-year-old child could say something that was neither humble nor arrogant in front of so many adults. But after looking carefully, he noticed a detail. Zhu Hao's clothes were burned by the fire and were completely covered with black ash.
and holes, but Zhu Houcong did not have this condition all over his body.
"What happened to him?"
Yuan Zonggao pointed at Zhu Hao and asked Lu Song beside him.
Lu Song was a party involved and a witness to everything that happened at the fire scene.
Lu Song said: "When Zhu Hao rushed out of the fire scene, he took a wet blanket and wrapped it around the young master, but he didn't himself... It's better for me to put out the fire on him... The situation is extremely dangerous..."
Yuan Zonggao was originally full of doubts about Zhu Hao, but Lu Song's words and the wet blanket falling on the ground beside him left him speechless for a moment.
yes……
When it comes to Zhu Hao setting fires, there is clearly an arsonist with irrefutable evidence. If Zhu Hao is that person's accomplice, then why did he go into the fire to save people?
He even gave up the chance of survival to Zhu Houcong, and his clothes were burned like this?
Totally unreasonable!
Yuan Zonggao said that he was quick-thinking and witty, and could easily penetrate human nature, but when it came to Zhu Hao... his discernment seemed to have failed.
At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran over and reported: "Yuan Changshi, Your Majesty, please come over."
This incident has alarmed Xingwang Zhu Youqi himself, but due to his identity, he could not appear at the scene of the fire. In addition, due to the fire, the entire Xingwang Mansion was already in partial chaos. If someone took the opportunity to disadvantage him, it would be terrible!
It is better to say that it is to meet Yuan Zonggao than to send a reminder to quickly bring Zhu Houcong back to the inner courtyard of the palace to settle down well. We will meet again if we have anything to do.
"Lu Dianzhan."
Yuan Zonggao thought for a moment and immediately called Lu Song next to him.
Lu Song clasped his fists: "This is my humble duty."
Yuan Zonggao said: "Cancel the rotation of all guards in the Royal Palace's Yiwei Department, strengthen the security at each gate, and send the people from the east courtyard, together with the murderer... and Zhu Hao, to the courtyard inside Chunhui Gate, and wait for Queen Xing's instructions before returning. Make a decision!"
…
…
Zhu Hao successfully passed Yuan Zonggao's test.
Lu Song received Yuan Zonggao's instruction, no longer being polite, and escorted all the craftsmen in the east courtyard, one by one, as if they were prisoners, into a large courtyard near the east gate of the inner courtyard, and then began interrogation.
"Which one of you is in cahoots with the murderer?"
Lu Song was actually half an "insider" and was full of doubts about Zhu Hao.
Of all the people, no one felt more likely than him that he might have wrongfully accused Jian Maoluo, but he couldn't tell him. He had to make a fuss about these craftsmen to make the case a solid case.
When the craftsmen saw this posture, how could they dare to hide anything?
Immediately someone jumped out and said: "Lu Dianzhan, please be clear, how can I, an honest man, dare to commit murder? However, Jianmao Dao has been saying recently that he will teach Zhu Hao a lesson, saying that this is the order of Master Hou."
Hou Chun scolded: "Why don't you say that this is Yuan Changshi's order?"
The person who came out to report curled his lips. He probably had a problem with Hou Chun for a long time and took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Lu Song took a look and saw that this thing was quite unusual. No wonder Yuan Changshi didn't directly punish Jian Maoluo, the recognized murderer. Could it be that the arson was really related to Yuan Changshi?
Lao Song said: "To say that the sharp-haired gun is not that bold, is it possible that it accidentally caught fire? There are a lot of flammable substances in the warehouse, and the tung oil tank leaked before..."
Among the people in Dongkuayuan, the only one who has anything to do with "Honest Bajiao" is Lao Song.
At this time, only Lao Song was still speaking for Jian Maoluo.
"Old man Song, are you still trying to excuse Jian Mao Ruo? Could it be that you are his accomplice?" Daxi, who was usually close to Jian Mao Ruo, stood up and asked.
Lao Song didn't expect that such a thing could be brought to his head, so he quickly defended himself: "I'll tell you the truth, you know better than me what's going on in the warehouse..."
…
…
Zhu Hao was sitting on the steps on one side, watching a group of people and dogs biting dogs.
The plan was so perfect that even Yuan Zonggao couldn't find any loopholes. With the wisdom of the group of people in front of him... he could only think in the direction of who was Jian Maoluo's accomplice. It seemed that he could successfully get out of the incident. Not only did he have no fault, but he had merit.
But he also knew that Lu Song couldn't help but be suspicious.
Sure enough, Lu Song secretly looked at Zhu Hao while asking questions, with a gloomy look on his face.
This kind of interrogation without coercive means will obviously not lead to any results. Everyone present wants to pick themselves clean, and false accusations and random bites have become the norm in the dialogue.
"Lu Dianzhan, Yuan Changshi ordered you to take the child who put out the fire... to the library in the backyard of the palace."
The questioning was at a stalemate, and Lu Song was in a state of distress when another person came to deliver a message.
"knew!"
Lu Song could only ask his men to carefully guard the Dongkuaoyuan group, while he personally took Zhu Hao to the backyard, which was a restricted area for most people in the palace.
…
…
When Zhu Hao entered the inner courtyard of the palace for the first time, he felt unusually calm. He already knew how to answer other people's questions.
"Master Zhu, there are no outsiders here. Tell the truth. Does this matter have anything to do with you?" Lu Song couldn't calm down the suspicion in his heart. He took Zhu Hao to a secluded corner, looked around, and then asked in a low voice.
.
Zhu Hao frowned and asked, "Lu Dianzhan, what are you talking about?"
Lu Song deliberately slowed down: "What a fool Jian Mao Dao is. I think you and I both know. It's not difficult to frame him. All you have to do is throw the torch in front of him... Besides, how could the prince appear at your place by such a coincidence?"
Don't just deny it now, even Yuan Changshi is full of doubts about this matter, tell me, maybe I can help you."
Help you big head ghost!
Zhu Hao knew very well that Lu Song acted like he was of the same mind just to trick him.
"Do you want to ask me that you were used by me to participate in the major case of 'liaring the prince to my residence and setting fire to it, almost burning the prince to death'?" Zhu Hao asked back.
"ah?"
Lu Song was shocked.
From Lu Song's behavior, Zhu Hao could tell that if this guy knew the truth due to his good relationship with Prince Xing's Mansion, he might really be able to report him without any scruples.
Lu Song has always been reluctant to work for Lin Baihu, but Lin Baihu may have promised that as long as he investigated the information and did not endanger the safety of Prince Xing's palace, he reluctantly agreed, but if he found out that Zhu Hao had set a fire
, with his loyal character, there is no guarantee that he will not report it.
Now Zhu Hao is telling Lu Song, don't always doubt me. If it is true as you say, I am the mastermind and you are the accomplice. We are grasshoppers on the same rope.
Zhu Hao said: "Lu Dianzhan, I didn't see the firecrackers set on fire. I arrived at the scene later... Did you see with your own eyes who set the fire?"
Lu Song shook his head.
"If you really think that I can plan everything, both to set fires and to save people, then go and tell Prince Xing... But even if you don't say it, no one in the palace will doubt it? Then what's the point of not saying it?
Woolen cloth?"
Zhu Hao's question made Lu Song completely confused.
yes.
How can I report Zhu Hao if he has no credentials?
Without saying anything, you reported yourself?
Are you trying to be ruthless and even trick yourself?
