"The source of the news is an important secret, how can you disclose it casually?" Zhu Hongmao said calmly.

"That's true." Liu Taishou immediately agreed, "For the sake of confidentiality, as long as the investigation does not affect the source of the case, there is no need to investigate the source of the report."

They sang together and tried very hard to protect themselves.

As the saying goes, "pull out the radish and bring out the mud." If it is found in the court that the prince of Qiu was involved in the case to rob a horse, where should the old face of Qiu Prince be put?

And for me, it seems that there is no need to drag the high pillow into the water at this time.

After all, this second generation ancestor was just an accidental factor in the whole case. With him or not, it would not be of much help to arrest the real murderer.

Is this really the case?

I thought about it carefully, decided to give up this question for the time being, and changed my words: "After you caught me, how did you deal with so many corpses in Skyhawk Castle?"

"I left a few brothers to guard the bodies." Zhu Hongmao replied, "For the specific situation, I should ask my deputy Zhang Zhidong."

Zhang Zhidong stood next to Zhu Hongmao, and he confessed: "My brothers and I were ordered to stay in Tianying Castle. Because we were not in enough staff, we could only patrol the front and back yards in different shifts until dawn, and then left Tianying Castle after handing over to the Qiushan army soldiers who came to protect the scene..."

"Let's go!" I asked a question, "The Tianying Castle case should be under the jurisdiction of the prefect's yamen. Why did the Qiushan Army intervene?"

"How strange is this?" Liu Taishou said, "There are many deaths in the Tianying Castle case, and it involves martial arts people. The official thought that the yamen had limited manpower and was difficult to deal with the sudden situation, so he specially asked the Qiushan army to help."

"Oh? The army's intervention turned out to be the prefect, you mean?" My eyes lit up, and something flashed rapidly in my mind.

This sentence shows at least two things.

First, the Qiushan Army stationed in Tianying Fortress is a huge trouble for the mastermind behind the scenes, and the person who will do such troubles will obviously not be the mastermind behind the scenes or his accomplices.

Second, the mastermind behind the scenes cannot directly interfere with the Qiushan Army's actions, otherwise this troublesome thing will not be allowed to sit idly by.

After considering these two things, the real problem arises - since neither the Prefect Yamen nor the Qiushan Army are direct forces behind the scenes, how did this person use the Prefect Yamen and the Qiushan Army to spread the net of heaven and earth to me?

In my mind, the vague outline of the mastermind behind the scenes finally became clearer.

But this is far from enough. What else did I miss?

Bang!

The sound of the gavel awakens me from my contemplation.

"What are your questions?" Liu Taishou said sternly.

"No more, keep going." I waved.

"The next is the murder case of the Old General Mo." Xu Shi Ye said, "When the incident happened that day, Mo Rantang was surrounded by the Qiushan Army, and it was difficult for a fly to fly away, so the murderer must be one of the people present at that time. Among the people present, Gao Zi, Lord Liu, General Li, and Miss Yun Xiu witnessed each other, and they must not be the murderers. The rest are all the Mo family, and there is no reason to kill General Mo. The only person who has both time and chance to commit the crime - you!"

Master Xu's words were like spitting, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back so as not to be sprayed with saliva. However, in the eyes of others, I felt more like I was being shot backwards by Master Xu's mouth and was unable to resist.

"Look at the last case of the mountain tunnel." Master Xu saw that I had no intention of refuting, so he continued proudly. "This case originated from your escape from Mo Rantang after committing the murder, but was blocked by the defenders in the mountain tunnel. So he simply blew up the entrance of the tunnel, threatening the lives of thousands of civilians, trying to find an opportunity to escape - this is an ironic fact, and you cannot deny it!"

After the crime was criticized, Master Xu raised his neck and bulged his eyes and stared at me hard.

For some reason, I felt a green beam trembling violently on my head, as if it would fall down at any time.

The situation is really overwhelmingly bad.

Could it be that I can only watch the truth be buried in the boundless darkness?

"The suspect, now the facts are all there, and the evidence is as strong as a mountain." Liu Taishou slapped the case, "If you cannot propose more effective counter-proof, then according to the laws and regulations of this dynasty, these charges should be settled!"

"Wait a minute." Someone suddenly shouted outside the yamen, "Wait a minute, I'm going in."

"Who is making noise outside the door?" Liu Taishou was furious when he heard the sound, "Turn away for me!"

"Let's go!" I raised my eyebrows and raised my hand, "I asked for a witness to be summoned."

"Do you want to summon that witness?" Liu Taishou said suspiciously.

"It's the person outside the door." I shrugged.

"Nothing!" Liu Taishou said, "How can this person disturb the court be regarded as a witness?"

"If a few shouts outside the yamen will disturb the court, then who else dares to appeal for justice?" I took a step forward and looked at Liu Taishou.

Liu Taishou hesitated for a moment, looked at Prince Qiu again, and finally fell down and waved, "Let him come in."

Who is this person who shouts outside the court?

"Master, Master." Xiao Yuanba ran in happily.

"What, is this your apprentice?" Liu Taishou was stunned.

"Can't my apprentice be a witness?" I grinned.

"I recognize you." Liu Taishou looked at Xiao Yuanba carefully, "You are the sword boy of this class, why did you leave the Jiangong Temple?"

Choosing a sword boy is a grand event in Qiujun, and there are many people who recognize Xiao Yuanba.

"I recognize you too, you are the official master." Xiao Yuanba said, wiping his nose, "There is such a big movement on the mountain, and the Jiangong Temple is almost destroyed. How can I stay?"

Liu Changjun looked at Xiao Yuanba and then looked at me, but for a moment he couldn't understand the development trend of things.

"Sir Liu, can I ask for witnesses?" I raised my hand.

"Ask." Liu Taishou frowned.

"Okay, let me ask you..." I am overbearing to Xiaoyuan, "Who is Wang Erhu Mazi? How did he die? Have you brought the corpse back?"

"Wang Erhu Mazi is a soldier. He seemed to have died in battle while suppressing bandits, and his corpse was not allowed to be taken." Xiao Yuanba replied in one breath.

"Don't ask about something that has nothing to do with this case." Liu Taishou touched the back of his head.

"It's hard to say whether it has nothing to do with this case." I chuckled, "I have one last question..."

"Quickly ask." Liu Taishou said impatiently.

"This question is..." I curled my smile and looked at Xiao Yuanba solemnly. "What exactly is it in the bodyguard box?"

"I..." Xiao Yuanba grabbed his hair, showing a hesitant look. "I don't know..."
