Madam, let's steam buns together

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said kindly: "That's not the case. Several adults came from a long way from the Moon Kingdom, and the accompanying personnel were not all from the Yue Kingdom. Is it possible that they were those who joined the team halfway? After all, I don't know the basics. It is not necessarily true that people have different minds.”

The envoys of the Yue Kingdom glanced back and forth, and one of them said: "A few people were added on the way, but they are only responsible for arranging our basic necessities of life in Lichao, and introducing us to the customs, and they can't get close to Master Luo in private. Personally, Master Luo doesn't like to be served by unfamiliar people, so he really didn't bring anyone to serve him when he came to Lichao this time."

Another person added: "I did see Lord Luo's cousin pressing acupuncture points on Lord Luo's head once, but he had an alibi and no motive to kill Lord Luo. It couldn't be him, he The relationship with Master Luo is so good, and he is also a well-behaved child, if you suspect him, it is really too much."

Zhang Xieyi snorted coldly: "I really doubted it was him. That night Luo Situ went to Qingyifang to have a good time and drink alone. None of you knew where he went. Only Lingchecheng knew that he went to the brothel. Those of you who usually follow him don't know where he is, let alone us, the only person who knew that Luo Situ was in Qingyifang that night was Lingche City, who happened to have a perfect alibi."

Master Mu retorted: "There are people coming and going in Qingyifang, there are always a few people who recognize Master Luo, it is normal to tell some interested people about him in Qingyifang!"

Zhang Xieyi rolled his eyes at him: "You think your master Luo is my son Zhang Huaruo, everyone in Chang'an City knows each other, and the old bustard also said that after Luo Situ entered Qingyifang, he ordered the wing room and never returned. He has been out, and the only ones who have seen him are those few dancers and actors. They stay in Qingyifang all day long and rarely go out. How could they recognize Luo Situ who just came to Chang'an City? How strange is it that they can recognize him as Luo Situ just by outsiders' description?"

After the verbal and verbal discussion between you and me, the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs told Zhang Xieyi in advance that since the envoy of the Yue Kingdom suspected Zhang Huaruo this time, he definitely wanted Zhang Huaruo to come to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs for interrogation.

Zhang Xieyi kept a cold face and said nothing, but luckily she didn't refuse. The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment breathed a sigh of relief, and arranged for someone to go down to summon Zhang Huaruo to the Ministry of Punishment as soon as possible.

When Zhang Huaruo came, it was the time when Hanshuang was dragged up for interrogation again. Seeing that Hanshuang was speaking extremely difficultly, he couldn't help but came up to help him look at his throat. It was also uncomfortable to listen to Hanshuang's words, so I agreed with Zhang Huaruo to treat Hanshuang first.

Frost actually didn’t have any hope. The jailer had asked a doctor to look at his throat before. The doctor prescribed some medicine for Frost to take. After taking the medicine, he felt a little better, but it couldn’t completely cure the pain. The root cause is that I feel better when I don’t speak, but it’s still uncomfortable when I speak.

Zhang Huaruo asked Xia Hanshuang why he was like this. Hanshuang said that he was suffering from the cold. Zhang Huaruo paused, but he didn't say anything and continued to help Hanshuang check the situation. When he learned that Hanshuang had taken medicine for throat , intending to find another way to detoxify Frost.

Yes, although Hanshuang said that his throat was so hoarse and uncomfortable because of the cold, Zhang Huaruo still saw at a glance that this was actually a sign of poisoning. As for why Hanshuang didn't explain clearly, Zhang Huaruo didn't intend to ask now.

If it can be said, Hanshuang will definitely explain that he was poisoned by something he ate, and Hanshuang lightly said that he was suffering from cold, which means that Hanshuang can't tell the reason behind it.

Zhang Huaruo instructed softly: "Raise your head up and look up."

Hanshuang obeyed obediently and exposed her neck in front of Zhang Huaruo.

When the envoy of the Yue Kingdom questioned Zhang Huaruo before, he mentioned the silver needle Zhang Huaruo used for acupuncture, so just now when the Ministry of Criminal Affairs sent someone to summon Zhang Huaruo, he specially asked him to bring the silver needle that he used that day, and Zhang Huaruo brought the acupuncture bag he used on a daily basis. It came in handy at this moment.

After roasting the tip of the silver needle on the fire, Zhang Huaruo began to inject needles on Frost's neck, and then took a small cupping pot to cover these tiny needle holes, a few drops of thick black blood were forced out in a short while, and Frost couldn't bear it. He coughed and spit out a lot of blood.

Zhang Huaruo handed the cold tea to Hanshuang: "Rinse your mouth, and take the medicine that the doctor prescribed for you at night, your throat should be completely healed."

After spitting out the remaining blood in his mouth, Frost said softly to Zhang Huaruo, "Thank you."

As soon as the words reached Frost's own ears, Frost immediately showed a shocked expression, his voice completely returned to normal, and he really didn't feel any pain or discomfort when he said it.

He looked up at Zhang Huaruo, and said "Thank you" again.

Zhang Huaruo smiled lightly and said to him: "Don't accidentally catch the cold again tonight. Human vocal cords are very fragile and cannot withstand repeated injuries."

If Zhang Hua can cure the poison, it means that he can see how he was poisoned, Hanshuang's eyes dodged for a moment, and he lowered his head in response.

Now that Frost's throat has recovered, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment continued to ask Frost repeatedly, and Frost answered them one by one.

I don’t know if it’s because Zhang Huaruo was on the sidelines, but they didn’t order Frost to be tortured. After the interrogation, they were taken back to the prison. , was taken down.

The main person in charge of the interrogation was the Lichao officials, and the Yue Kingdom sent a person to listen in. Since Zhang Huaruo appeared in the interrogation hall, the Yue Kingdom envoy never took his eyes off Zhang Huaruo, and sighed secretly in his heart. As expected, he is the person Mr. Luo misses so much. It is really hard to find another such good-looking man in the whole world.

Zhang Huaruo walked in front of them and was about to kneel down when the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly asked him to excuse him and just stand up and answer.

If it wasn't for the presence of the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, he even wanted someone to move a chair for Zhang Huaruo to sit and answer.

Zhang Huaruo didn't refuse, it would be best if he didn't kneel and talk, and smiled at the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, thanking him for his kindness.

The old face of Minister of the Ministry of Justice blushed slightly. Although he is a bit old, everyone has a love for beauty. Seeing such a good-looking person smiling at him, the heart that should have been quiet suddenly felt a little spring, as if he had regained his strength. The feeling of youth.

In order to testify, Ling Checheng was also called over.

Ling Checheng stood beside Zhang Huaruo, quietly listening to his answer, and nodded to the envoy of the Yue Kingdom during the period, indicating that what Zhang Huaruo said was true.

When it came to silver needles, Zhang Huaruo handed his acupuncture pack to the officials and explained: "This is the silver needle I used that day. It is thin and soft, and it looks like it can penetrate into bones Silver needles stitched together, but their failure lies in their softness. The silver needles used in acupuncture are relatively soft and can penetrate human skin, but it is difficult to pass through the bone seam, and it is difficult to maintain a bent state. Break."

At the end, he added with a smile: "If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate it in class."

Several officials suddenly had a headache, as if they felt that someone was sticking a needle in their head. The cold needle was drilling into the bone crevice, making people feel cold on the soles of their feet, so they quickly shook their heads and said no.

However, Ling Checheng showed a little interest: "I heard them tell the cause of my cousin's death, and I can't believe that there is such a way of death. If Mr. Zhang can set a demonstration in class, it must be better for us to understand. "

The high-ranking officials all cast their eyes on the fearless Lingche City, and thought to themselves: How about you be the demonstrator?

Zhang Huaruo also felt that the actual operation would be more convincing to them, so as not to be entangled in this matter in the future, he asked the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment to ask Wu Zuo to bring up a human head. Naturally, it was not a living human head, but a skull that had already melted into bones.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, it is better to use them as a demonstration, and quickly order someone to call Wu Zuo, and bring the skull samples that should be in the room of Wu Zuo.

When the skull was delivered, they first took a look at the skull. It was not covered by scalp or hair. The bone seam around the top of the skull was really obvious, but the gap was very small. It must be difficult to pass through the hair cover before life Find this gap.

It's no wonder that Wu Zuo and the others are saying that it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime. If someone massages Luo Situ's head every day, as long as he is careful, he will be able to find the location of the bone seam slowly and keep it in mind.

After the officials had seen it, the skull was placed in front of Zhang Huaruo. Ling Checheng surrounded him curiously. Zhang Huaruo flicked his sleeves so that the hanging cuffs would not hinder his movements, and began to demonstrate by taking needles.

Ling Checheng stood next to Zhang Huaruo. Zhang Huaruo brought a gust of wind when he flicked his sleeves. This gust of wind was mixed with a light fragrance, like a kind of floral fragrance, which smelled very nice. Look at Zhang Huaruo.

It turns out that for such a beauty, even a man would paint on it. This faint floral fragrance seems to be able to draw out people's instinctive desires and desires.

It seems that Zhang Huaruo is not as pure as he thought before, but he is actually a bit dissolute inside, so he uses this kind of seductive fragrance powder.

Zhang Huaruo had just mixed the medicine powder at home, and a lot of powder made from the fruit juice of the thirteenth grass had been dried on his sleeves. It was the most important ingredient in the medicine powder for wolfberry, just because of the powder of the petals. The fragrance was too obvious, covering up the slightly bitter smell of Thirteenth Grass, and Ling Checheng had unknowingly smelled it a lot.

The powder of Thirteenth Grass can not only achieve the effect of making people unable to lie, but it is also harmful to the human body if it is smelled too much, so Zhang Huaruo strictly controlled the dosage in order to exert its best effect without harming people's health.

Xu Shi went out in such a hurry that he didn't even realize that his sleeves were stained a lot.

The silver needles of acupuncture are soft and curved, as if they can pass through the bone seam easily, but you can feel it very clearly when you get started, because the silver needles are too soft, it is difficult to really poke into the bone seam and slide in, but lightly Easy to bend to one side and walk around the outer circle of the bone seam, but not to go in.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice came over and wanted to try it himself. Zhang Huaruo stepped back a few steps to give way to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, in order to avoid blocking the light so that the Minister could see more clearly, but he accidentally bumped into him and stood not far behind him. Lingche City.

Ling Checheng did not dodge, but raised his hand to support Zhang Huaruo, and pinched Zhang Huaruo's waist vaguely.

Zhang Huaruo hurriedly backed away a few steps and frowned slightly at Ling Checheng's clear eyes. Ling Checheng's expression was so innocent that Zhang Huaruo felt that the feeling of being pinched by his waist just now was an illusion, but Zhang Huaruo was sure that it wasn't Illusion, Ling Checheng really took the opportunity to touch his waist secretly just now, in an ambiguous way.

If Ling Checheng was as pure and polite as he appeared on the surface, how could he have acted so abruptly and obscenely.

Shangshu's personal experiment soon yielded results. Not only did the acupuncture needle not go in, but it broke because of Shangshu's last violent attempt to insert it directly.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sighed, and looked at Zhang Huaruo: "This kind of needle is really impossible, but I don't know what kind of needle can easily pass through this bone seam without breaking."

"South Sea Profound Silver."

"South Sea Profound Silver."

Ling Checheng and Zhang Huaruo replied at the same time.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to Lingche City a few steps away from Zhang Huaruo: "You also know this kind of needle?"

Ling Checheng was terrified in his heart. There was no need for him to answer the previous question from the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, but he couldn't help but blurt out what he knew in his mind. .

Now Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice asked him another question, he hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth, and found that there was no need for him to pretend not to know about this question, so he could only bite the bullet and nodded, answering word by word, so as not to be confused again. I want to blurt out the true thoughts in my mind: "Listen...say...been."

Looking at Ling Checheng's current state, Zhang Huaruo realized that something was wrong with him now. Although he still looked like a simple and unaffected young man, the hand hanging by his side had already clenched into a fist, as if he was trying to endure something.

The observer envoy from Yue Kingdom couldn't help but speak now: "Since you know, why didn't you tell us before?"

Ling Checheng tilted his head, tried his best to bite the corner of his lips so as not to allow himself to answer directly, his expression gradually became a little painful, he lowered his head and said slowly: "No, at that time... I didn't think... it was... It was just, just now, Mr. Zhang said the words Nanhai and Nanhai first... I just remembered."

It took Ling Checheng quite a while to finish his words, which were only a few dozen words. Everyone noticed that something was wrong with him, and the envoy of the Moon Kingdom asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

The feeling of trying to suppress himself from speaking was too uncomfortable and annoying, Ling Checheng suddenly raised his head and shouted in the direction of the envoy of the Moon Kingdom: "Shut up!"

The corner of Ling Checheng's mouth was already bleeding from his bite. At this time, a streak of blood slid down the corner of his mouth, his eyes were slightly red, and the veins on his forehead were also very obvious.

The envoy of the Yue Kingdom was stunned by Lingchecheng's yell, and looked at the completely changed Lingchecheng, completely unaware of what was going on, and murmured: "...What's the matter with you? "

Looking at the state of Lingchecheng, Zhang Huaruo thought that he was getting the powder of Thirteenth Grass before going out, and if he inhaled a lot of Thirteenth Grass at one time, the current symptoms of Lingchecheng would appear. He seemed to understand something, and lowered his head to check the smell on his body. , and finally saw the remaining bright yellow powder at the bottom of the sleeve of his right hand.

The medicinal effect of Thirteenth Herb can be restrained by using Banfuhua. If you take Banfuhua beforehand and only smell a little bit of Thirteenth Herb, the effect of Thirteenth Herb can be completely suppressed.

Zhang Huaruo dared to start messing with Thirteenth Grass only after soaking half of the lotus flowers in the morning and drinking it. He was touching the Thirteenth Grass all the time, keeping the Thirteenth Grass away from the medlars.

In the current situation, is it because I inadvertently let Lingche City smell too much of the thirteen-month grass?

Zhang Huaruo quietly took a few steps back, the wolfberry was not by his side, and he didn't bring any self-defense medicine when he came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If Ling Checheng was going crazy right now, he couldn't effectively guard against this person at all.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me!" Ling Checheng put his hands on his forehead. He has excellent control over himself, so even in this situation, he can still try not to say what's in his heart, but this feeling is really uncomfortable Yeah, the kind of thoughts that pop out of your head that can drive you crazy, and there's nothing he can do about it.

"I'm so bored, why don't you check? People are dead at the border. Why don't you just go back and start a war? Do you want to wait for his grave to bloom and grow grass?"

Ling Checheng finally couldn't hold back, and said this sentence angrily to everyone.

Zhang Huaruo had already retreated to the side of the yamen servant. He looked at Ling Checheng who was gradually going mad, and slowly asked a question: "Did you kill Luo Situ?"

With a swipe, Ling Checheng shifted his gaze to Zhang Huaruo, and a smile and cry began to appear on his face, as if he was still struggling with an ideological struggle.

Zhang Huaruo asked again extremely calmly: "Did you kill the man?"

"Yes, it was me, I killed it!" It felt so good to say it directly, Ling Checheng smiled suddenly, completely gave up controlling his thoughts, and smiled maniacally, "Isn't he the main fighter? Didn't he think See if the two countries can fight, I am helping him, what is wrong with me!"

Everyone in the hall except for these two people was dumbfounded, watching the strange development of the situation with a look of surprise, the minister of the Ministry of punishment was the first to recover, and quickly ordered the servant: "Catch him!"

However, Ling Checheng struck first faster than anyone else. He originally wanted to run towards Zhang Huaruo, but he changed his direction halfway and jumped to the side of the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, and directly held the envoy of the Yue Kingdom hostage. time.

Ling Checheng subconsciously wanted to hold Zhang Huaruo hostage, but after a little brainstorming, he knew that it would be more useful to hold an envoy from the Moon Kingdom hostage. No one thought that another envoy from the Yue Kingdom would die in Li Dynasty. Holding an envoy hostage is the fastest and safest way to get out .

"Whoever dares to move, I will kill him."

Just as Ling Checheng expected, everyone was afraid of the envoy of the Moon Kingdom dying again, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to order his subordinates to act recklessly. If the envoy of the Moon Kingdom died this month, the biggest crime would fall on him .

"Lingchecheng, how could you..."

Before the envoy of the Moon Kingdom finished speaking, Ling Checheng yelled back: "Shut up!"

The envoy of the Moon Kingdom obediently kept his mouth shut, feeling very depressed. He had spoken for Lingche City before, saying that there was no way he was the murderer!Now the reality slaps him in the face, and his life is in Ling Checheng's hands, which makes people want to cry without tears.

In the current situation, letting Lingchecheng go is the best choice. The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment has already made a decision in his heart, and he will speak to Lingchecheng in a friendly voice, so as not to anger him and hurt the envoy of the Moon Kingdom in his hand: "Okay, I will let you go." , but you must make sure not to hurt the envoy."

Ling Checheng directly said coldly: "Don't worry, I will let him live until I am completely safe."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was depressed, he didn't dare to ask Ling Checheng: What about after that?

Ling Checheng was going to leave with the envoys of the Moon Kingdom, but before he left, he suddenly looked back at Zhang Huaruo and asked, "Is it because of you that I became like this?"

Zhang Huaruo shook his head decisively.

Ling Checheng frowned fiercely, as if he still didn't understand why he was so irritable all of a sudden, and why he turned the originally good situation into the current ghostly state in an instant.

But now is not the time to think, grabbing the Yue Kingdom envoy and leaving the Ministry of Punishment quickly.
