Chapter 5 The confusing truth
"Greetings to the king."
Bai Yan was still wearing silver armor, but compared to his murderous aura, he was obviously killed.
"Mr. Bai is up quickly, you are leaving and returning, but what have you forgotten?"
Bai Yan stood up, staring at me without looking sideways, as if he had not seen Chen Lei and Guo Qu, and replied respectfully: "I have never forgotten anything, but the things that the king had handed over to me before have been done, so I will report it."
Jiang Ji was a little surprised. The speed was too fast.
"Your Majesty Bai is so fast! With you here, you are alone and have no worries."
"The king praised it, but I just did my duty."
Listening to the two of them having a puzzle, Guo Qu couldn't help asking: "I dare to ask the king, don't know what the king and the doctor said?"
Chen Lei also quietly raised his ears.
Jiang Ji smiled inexplicably: "This matter should be told by the doctor."
When Bai Yan knew that Chen Lei and Guo Qu were in the bedroom, he had some thoughts in his mind, so he specially asked for a meeting at this time.
At this time, he looked solemn: "When he was ordered by the king to thoroughly investigate the murder of the king. Now twenty-three people have been arrested. These people have personally conveyed the information of the palace outside the palace, or deliberately guided the king to hunt that day. As long as he was under the three trees, there will definitely be no one who can't bear it. He will recognize the mastermind behind the scenes and find the person who murdered the king."
"Suce Chen and the Lieutenant are here too. Why not try these prisoners together?"
Guo Qu immediately agreed: "That's right, I want to see who dared to murder the king after taking the courage of Xiong Xin and Leopard."
He neither participated in this matter nor sent any detailed work to the palace, so he was naturally not afraid of meeting these people. He even looked at Chen Lei specifically: I wonder if this old guy was involved in this matter?
Logically speaking, Chen Lei is undoubtedly very suspicious, but Guo Qu, who is familiar with the character of this old rival, knows that this old boy is very cautious or conservative, and he is probably not what he did for such radical things.
Chen Lei also agreed without any hesitation.
"The King?"
Bai Yan turned his inquiring eyes on Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji stood up: "This matter is related to the life of the orphan. Naturally, Gu must go and see who is trying to murder the orphan."
"Bai Jun, please lead the way. Since you have left this matter to you to handle in full, then you will decide on everything later."
Jiang Ji's words undoubtedly gave Bai Yan a great face, and the trust in it made Bai Yan very excited.
He said loudly: "The king will not be disappointed!"
Jiang Ji nodded slightly, followed Bai Yan, and walked towards the square in front of the main hall. Chen Lei and Guo Qu followed closely behind.
By the time the four arrived, seats were prepared in the square and various torture instruments.
"King, Prime Minister, Lieutenant, please wait here for a moment and start the interrogation immediately."
Jiang Ji said: "Mr. Bai doesn't have to care about us, just do it according to your ideas."
"promise!"
Bai Yan turned around and walked forward a few steps, pressed his sword and stood on the stairs in front of the main hall: "Bring Fan Si here."
There were no suspects in the square, and they were obviously detained elsewhere.
After a while, Fan Si was brought over by two soldiers, one left and one right. This man was an eunuch in the palace and the one who guided Ying Xiu to hunt that day.
"Fan Si, do you know your guilt?"
Fan Si had obviously been whipped, and his skin was particularly eye-catching. When he heard Bai Yan's question, he noticed that Jiang Ji and the other two were there, and immediately cried and cried: "The villain is wronged, the villain is loyal, and the sun and the moon are in the eyes of the sincerity. Prince, the villain is wronged!"
"Hmph, stubborn, see what this is."
Bai Yan waved his hand and immediately someone presented a flawless jade bi. The jade bi was the size of a palm and was carved in fine detail, which was very valuable at first glance.
"You were born in poverty and were in this palace at the age of twelve. You have no relatives or other sources of money. Then I ask you, how did you get this jade bi?"
"this……"
Fan Si's already pale face turned pale, and the fine beads of sweat kept pouring out.
"I haven't told you yet, come and be punished!"
Immediately someone came over with a red-burned soldering iron.
Fan Si's whole body trembled, his blue lips trembled, "I said, I've called it all, it was the servant Huo Jun who gave it to the villain, and he also asked the villain to lure the king up to hunt."
The servant, corresponding to the Taifu, is dedicated to the training and management of the chariots and horses of the princes. When the princes travels, he drives his car, just like the chariots on the earth, and is a close minister of the princes and kings.
Bai Yan frowned slightly. If Fan Si confessed to others, even a senior official in Qin, he would have reason to take this opportunity to let Guo Qu and Chen Lei confront him, or arrest him with conclusive evidence.
But although Huo Jun is just a servant of Qi Qianshi, he is the confidant of Qin King Ying Xiu.
"Do you have evidence to prove that what you said is true? If you are scrambling and biting, don't blame me for being polite."
Faced with Bai Yan's stern accusation, Fan Si hurriedly said: "This jade bi is something the king gave to Huo Jun before. The doctor's order will know just by asking the young mansion."
Fan Si's statement was so certain that Bai Yan understood that what he said was most likely true. So he ordered someone to invite Feng Yu of Shaofu to come over and sent someone to arrest Huo Jun.
After finishing the arrangement, Bai Yan looked at Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji was just once again sighing about Huo Jun’s affairs that the palace was a sieve, but he had no feelings for himself, even if he had served by the original body for seven or eight years.
So Jiang Ji nodded slightly to Bai Yan and signaled him to let go.
He quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and Bai Yan said again: "Bring the next person."
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, some people were called, some people didn't, and then they were tortured and died.
Those who have been recruited will be arrested by Guo Qu for further interrogation if there is tangible evidence.
Those who had no evidence confronted each other. A few guilty ones were arrested, and the others could only be released for the time being.
During this period, Feng Yu of Shaofu also arrived and confirmed Fan Si's words.
At the same time, after knowing what Bai Yan did in a short period of time, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He knew about this matter first, but he had not found any valuable clues. It was not long before Bai Yan came back that he found so many people.
There is no harm without comparison. Feng Yu, who had been quite confident in his ability, had some doubts about his life.
I'd better be honest in charge of the property in the palace!
Not to mention Feng Yu's frustration, the person who arrested Huo Jun soon came back and brought back a bit of surprise news.
Huo Jun fled from Yangdi City and was killed halfway.
