I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Luo Qianhuai was startled and realized more deeply that Zhang Qing was actually a desperado who wandered outside the law.

"He is just a doctor. Although he has done wrong things, his crimes are not worthy of death." Luo Qianhuai said: "The most important thing is that in the future, my uncle's case will be overturned, and his confession will be needed. If he dies without any evidence, it will not be beautiful. .”

"But if we don't kill him, it will cause a lot of trouble. Does Mrs. Luo have a way to deal with it?" Zhang Qing held a sword wrapped in gray cloth in his arms and asked lazily leaning against the courtyard wall.

"How long will the blow from Zhang Jianzong make that person faint?"

"No later than tomorrow at noon."

"That's enough." Luo Qianhuai's eyes sparkled: "I already know what to do, but I just want to trouble you and Zhu Niang to do a few things for me."

Gao Liang woke up at Chenshi. Regardless of his heavy headache and dizziness, he focused on being helped to appeal to the court.

The thief incident in the East Market last night had already caused a lot of noise. The police came to investigate in the middle of the night. However, the only witness was unconscious, so it was postponed until now.

In the morning, Huo Yu met with several craftsmen who came from afar and asked He Jian to take them to inspect the secret box. After a short while, they all gave up, just like the previous people.

Their reasons are surprisingly consistent. It is an extremely rare Qiangong lock, and it has undergone multiple encryptions. Even if Luban Mozi comes back to life, it may not be able to open it.

Hearing that the person who suffered last night had arrived, Huo Yu went up to the hall full of depression.

Gao Liang knelt on the ground obediently, shouted several times, "Master Qingtian", and elaborated on Luo Qianhuai's late-night robbery and murder attempt.

After finally finishing speaking, Gao Liang lowered his head and waited for the adults above to give the order to take the people. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, he did not hear any movement.

He couldn't help it. When he looked up secretly, he met Huo Yu's eyes. The eyes were sharp and cold, accompanied by an invisible pressure, which made him fall back to the ground in horror.

"Tell me again, who was the person who broke into the house last night and robbed him?"

I don’t know how long it took, but the person above finally spoke. Gao Liang did not dare to be negligent and replied in a trembling voice: "My lord, this is Madam Luo from Xier Street in Dongshi City. She is the one who took possession of the Ji'antang that was sealed back then. ......."

"Since you are here to testify, what evidence do you have?"

"The villain saw her come out of the drug store in the front yard with his own eyes. She was holding a rosewood box in her hand. The box was filled with top-grade Cordyceps. The villain spent a lot of money to collect it. I'm not boasting. Cordyceps of this quality will no longer be found in Lingdu.”

"But isn't the cordyceps still in your store fine?" Huo Yu had already heard the on-site investigation report of the police officer.

"That was because she happened to be bumped into by the villain and had to throw away the stolen goods and escape. By the way, she also had a snitch accomplice who escaped with her." Gao Liang said anxiously: "Sir, in the villain's opinion, it's better to The people should be arrested as soon as possible, otherwise they may flee in fear of crime!"

"Do you want to teach me how to judge cases?" Huo Yu asked in a deep voice. Under the blessing of the official's power, Gao Liang felt his body trembling, and he fell to the ground and shouted: "I don't dare."

"So, from beginning to end, you were the only one who saw the thief's face, and there was no other human or physical evidence."

"There is still this thing as evidence!" Gao Liang said, holding up the object Zhang Qing used to hit him last night - a dry marrow cake.

"That accomplice used this thing to knock me out!"

The officer took the cake and presented it to Huo Yu. The latter took a brief look and sneered: "What's so special about this cake?"

"You don't know, sir, but this cake is made by the King of Dongshi Marrow Cake. It is their only marrow cake. After it comes out of the pan, it is sprinkled with fried white sesame seeds."

Huo Yu did not continue to ask further, and only issued arrest warrants and asked the officers to go and get Luo Qianhuai and his companions, as well as the marrow cake king from Dongshi.

Zhang Qing had been sent out long ago, and Luo Qianhuai and the King of Marrow Cake were brought to Yiting with innocent faces.

"Your Excellency, we did not find any adult men in Mrs. Luo's home, nor did we find the cyan clothes mentioned by the plaintiff." the policeman reported.

Huo Yu nodded and looked at the two Luo Qianhuai who were brought over: "Who is there?"

As soon as he spoke, the two teams of guards immediately shouted: "Wei... Wu..."

This was originally a method to scare suspects, but Luo Qianhuai had been baptized by countless TV series in his previous life, and he only felt joy in his heart without any fear.

On the other hand, the skinny and short marrow cake king probably went to court for the first time in his life. He was so frightened that his legs went limp and he collapsed on the ground, unable to even speak.

"Qianhuai, the Luo family's daughter, has met the Lord." Luo Qianhuai lowered his eyebrows and said, "I wonder what the important thing is for the Lord to send someone to summon the little girl?"

"Gao Langzhong of Huichun Hall accused you of breaking into the house last night, injuring someone and absconding after being discovered. Do you admit it or not?" Huo Yu sat upright in the hall, his face as carved as a sculpture, upright and solemn without any expression.

Luo Qianhuai's apricot eyes widened, and his thick black pupils were full of innocence: "Your Majesty, you know for sure, this little girl has no power to tie a chicken, how can she break into a private house at night? How can she be able to hurt people and escape?"

Gao Liang naturally couldn't tolerate her such sophistry: "Mrs. Luo, stop pretending. It was you and your accomplices who sneaked into my Huichen Hall last night to commit misdeeds. After I found out, you wanted to kill someone and silence them. Your Majesty, you are so clear-eyed, how can you let me know? Blinded?"

"Sir?" Luo Qianhuai said aggrievedly: "Last night, the little girl went to bed early and never went out at all. The maid and two medicine boys have testified about this. Gao Langzhong accused me of being a thief. Could it be that it was just empty talk and white teeth? Open your mouth?"

"Not only me, but also many people saw you and your accomplice standing on the roof last night! Don't you admit it?"

"Mr. Gao has seen the wrong person!" Luo Qianhuai refused to admit it. He looked up at Huo Yu and said, "Sir, I am indeed wronged. I am willing to confront the witnesses in court!"

"Except for Gao Langzhong, all the thieves seen by others are masked." Huo Yu interrupted at the right time.

Gao Liang was experienced in the world and could hear Huo Yu's partiality from these words.

"Sir, I saw clearly last night that the female thief is indeed Mrs. Luo! I am neither familiar with nor have any grudge against Mrs. Luo. There is no reason for me to hurt my head and then go out of my way to frame her!"

Luo Qianhuai has been waiting for his words.

"Since the thief everyone saw had his face covered and couldn't identify him, it makes no sense for her to show her face in front of Gao Langzhong. In other words, Gao Langzhong has such eyesight that he can recognize who the thief is with just one look. The other person is the little girl. Only someone who is very familiar with her can do this kind of thing. It can be seen that Gao Langzhong’s previous statement that he is not familiar with the little girl is simply a lie. "

She didn't give Gao Liang any time to formulate his words. She raised her head and said seriously: "Sir, in fact, what Gao Liang said about having no grudge against my daughter is false. In fact, he and my daughter have deep grievances. There is indeed a reason to frame her. That's right. Just like when he deliberately perjured himself and accused my uncle of being a quack doctor and committing murder."
