Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

"But someone scares you guys. If you go back and meet your parents, it will cause them to die? Did this person save you when he first came into contact with you? He has an identity that makes you trust him. Gentle, soft-spoken, and very kind to you, no matter what he says, you can easily be convinced."

Shopkeeper Xue, Qu Changle and Su Yuerong all lowered their heads when they first heard Zhao Hanyan speak, not wanting to look at her.But when they heard the back, the three of them all looked up at Zhao Hanyan one after another.

"Seeing that shopkeeper Xue seems to be very interested in Wangyou Pavilion, when I was in Deping County, I also heard that Wangyou Pavilion likes to summon dumb killers. I can't help but wonder if someone is threatening you with Wangyou Pavilion Someone told the six of you that you were supposed to be arrested by Wangyou Pavilion as assassins, but now that you are saved, if you go home, you will still be targeted by the assassins, forcing you to change your identities."

The three of them didn't say a word, but there was a look of surprise in the eyes of all of them.

Zhao Hanyan felt that the guess he made boldly was almost true.

"Wangyou Pavilion doesn't exist, it's just someone else's fabrication. This has been confirmed from the interrogation of the storyteller Xiao Erlu in Zhuangyuan Building. Over the past four years, he has made up different stories and spread the legend of Wangyou Pavilion everywhere."

Bao Zheng immediately told them which storytellers in Tokyo had private contacts with Xiaoer Donkey.Every time they tell a story about Wangyou Pavilion, they will get ten coins for revenge.It sounds like the amount of money is not much, but if you talk a lot, the amount of money you get is very considerable.

When Bao Zheng enumerates people, he will specify who they are, who their surnames are, and who they are. They are well-founded and convincing.

After Shopkeeper Xue and the others listened, they couldn't help but feel doubt and anger in their hearts.They are all anxious, eager to know whether the beliefs they have held on to all these years are true or false.

Zhao Hanyan: "At first we suspected that Xiao Erlu was one of the six children who disappeared that year just like you. But after finding out that Wangyou Pavilion did not exist, I thought he might not be. If Guanglin Demon used Wangyou Pavilion This rumor has come to deceive you, and the person who spread the rumor will definitely not be with you."

The little second donkey was then escorted up and knelt in the middle of the hall.

Shopkeeper Xue, Qu Changle, and Su Yuerong all looked at the second donkey with strange eyes, apparently none of them knew about the existence of the second donkey.Shopkeeper Xue, as the shopkeeper of the Jingcheng restaurant, has heard of the storyteller Xiao Erlu, but he is completely unaware of the rumors about Wangyou Pavilion.

"He also made up a story, saying that your Wangyou Pavilion was actually opened by the Wangyou Pavilion on the rivers and lakes. There are hundreds of people who have heard of this story, and they can all find evidence." Gongsun Ce said to Shopkeeper Xue .

Shopkeeper Xue rushed over, grabbed the second donkey by the collar, and asked him viciously if he was spreading rumors.

Seeing this, Qu Changle and Su Yuerong rushed over to arrest him.

The little second donkey was strangled so hard that he couldn't breathe until the Yacha separated them, and his face, which was red from suffocation, gradually returned to its original color.

"You lunatics! Crazy! I'm just a storyteller!" The little second donkey coughed and hid behind the clerk.

Zhao Hanyan asked the parents of the six children if they had ever recognized Xiao Erlv.In fact, this questioning was just a routine questioning in the courtroom. Zhao Hanyan had already asked these parents to identify the little Erlu in private, and confirmed that the Guoxiao Erlu was not one of the six lost children in Deping County.

Shopkeeper Xue was still a little excited, and asked Xiao Erlu if he was spreading rumors, as if he wanted to hear him say something himself.

"You don't need to waste your energy, he won't admit it. You should be clear about this. He has been trained just like you, and ordinary torture to extract a confession will not make him tell the truth." Zhao Hanyan said, "But the facts can't be changed. Kaifeng Mansion's investigation There will be no fakes."

Shopkeeper Xue is a thoughtful person, even if he is impulsive at the moment, he understands what Zhao Hanyan said.If it is a subordinate taught by that character, it is normal not to admit it, and it is unbelievable to confess casually.

"This...what the hell is going on?" Huang Cuishan asked his wife with red and swollen eyes while supporting his wife.The rest of the people also had doubts, but then they were persuaded by the yamen to stand aside and asked to try not to make a sound, everything will be explained to them carefully after Mr. Bao finishes the trial.

"Su Yuerong, can you identify yourself as a man now?" Bao Zheng asked.

Su Yuerong nodded helplessly. He couldn't help denying this kind of thing. Whether it was true or not, he could tell when he took off his clothes.

"Tian Defeng said that you are his son, can you admit it?"

As soon as Bao Zheng finished speaking, Tian Defeng stared at Su Yuerong expectantly.Su Yuerong glanced at Tian Defeng, then retracted her gaze immediately, and continued to stare at the empty ground in front of her.

He hesitated, not knowing how to answer.I didn't want to recognize him, but it was clear that even if he didn't, his biological parents had already recognized him.If so, why does he have this qualification now?

"Even if you don't recognize this identity, Su Yuerong's identity doesn't belong to you. Your adoptive father Su Sheng has already come to the capital and told us about your origin."

Of course Su Yuerong couldn't be Su Sheng's biological child.Su Sheng originally had a biological daughter, but died of illness at the age of 12.Su Sheng couldn't accept this fact for a while, he drank and bought drunk every day, Su Yuerong appeared at that time and took care of Su Sheng.Su Sheng heard that you were displaced, and seeing that he was the same age as his own daughter, he adopted her as his daughter, and at Su Yuerong's pleading, moved, and said that Su Yuerong was his biological daughter.

Because Su Sheng used to be unrestrained, his biological daughter has always been brought up by Su Sheng's old mother in the village, and she seldom shows her face outside. Afterwards, she came to Su Sheng to move and changed places. Those friends who knew him from the rivers and lakes only met him four years ago. It was the first time to see Su Yuerong, including Bai Yutang.Everyone took it for what Su Sheng introduced. No one had ever doubted Su Yuerong's identity, let alone imagined that he was a man.

"You hid it deep enough that you even deceived Su Sheng." Bai Yutang sneered and sighed, thinking about all the things he had done to Su Yuerong back then, he felt even more ironic.People often praise him for being smart, but when it comes to Su Yuerong's matter, he didn't realize the slightest clue.

"He can even sleep with a man and give birth to a child. How can anyone find out?" After reading the file about Su Yuerong, Grand Master Pang was amazed, "You have worked hard to pretend to be a woman. But the voice is How to become?"

"Ventulture." Su Yuerong said frankly, "After learning it for two years, in order to practice it well, I don't know how many times my voice became hoarse."

When Bai Yutang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the things that he thinks he is smart these days, in fact, others have already thought of them.If Song Tingkong hadn't been a murderous instigator, Zhao Hanyan would have admired Song Tingkong's ability and had the idea of ​​worshiping him as a teacher.

"The three of you should plead guilty, don't let the Guanglin Demon who used you continue to succeed." Bao Zheng said sonorously.

Shopkeeper Xue was silent for a while, then turned to look at Huang Cuishan and his wife.

"Children, don't let those who hurt you go!" Huang Cuishan cried, "My poor baby!"

"Wangyou Pavilion is real or not?" Su Yuerong stopped pretending to be a female voice, and asked in his original male voice, which was slightly rough.

Qu Changle narrowed his eyes slowly, slammed his fists on the ground, and cursed hatefully.

"He took advantage of your fear of defending your family to create a rumor about Wangyou Pavilion to intimidate you. He was also afraid that you have been doing things outside these years and spreading rumors to get rid of gangs, so he ordered people to continue to spread the legend of Wangyou Pavilion and play you like fools Four years. What's even more ridiculous is that you kids who were originally very smart never questioned this, and you are still loyal to him wholeheartedly." Zhao Hanyan repeatedly sighed that they were too stupid, not even as good as a house slave, but at least a house slave was okay Get to know their biological parents and live together.

Sure enough, the three of them couldn't stand Zhao Hanyan's provocative words, and they became more angry than the other. In the end, it was Su Yuerong who confessed his guilt first.Presumably, her temper was also influenced by Su Sheng, a man from the rivers and lakes, and she was slightly more impulsive than shopkeeper Xue and Qu Changle.

"What happened to the six of us is similar to what Zhao Kuai guessed. When we went to the mountain to play, we were tricked into the car by a man in his 30s, and then we were kidnapped and given to a gang of criminals. Those people They treated us very poorly, saying that they would arrest us as killers and beat us with whips. We six children were terrified and cried for help. Later, someone really came to rescue us and killed the dozens of bandits. It was blood, and we were so scared that we didn't even dare to cry.

Later, I heard the adult's subordinates say that these killers are from Wangyou Pavilion, and we are the children who were selected to be poisoned as killers.Now they have killed the people in Wangyou Pavilion, if they send us back now, they will definitely attract the people in Wangyou Pavilion to pursue and revenge, not only will they silence us, even the adult who saved us will not escape the fate of being killed.After all, I heard from them that Wangyou Pavilion is very powerful, there is no one in the world that they cannot kill, no one can afford to offend Wangyou Pavilion...

We heard that Wangyou Pavilion not only silenced us, but also implicated our parents and sisters, so we begged that adult for help.He said that this job is very troublesome and may take many years of work, and asked us if we are determined.We promised, but he didn't believe it. He asked us to do one thing to show our determination, so he would leave us. "

"What's the matter?" Zhao Hanyan asked.

Qu Changle had a cold face, and said in a calm tone: "Let us each put a knife on the corpses of those thieves. There are twelve people in total, that's twelve knives. When the first knife goes down, I'm so scared that I'm dying. Everyone was shaking, and some people vomited seeing the blood, but after the twelve knives were inserted, everyone seemed to have become more proficient."

"It's so cruel."

Even Grand Master Pang couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard this.

Then the six of them were taken to a garden in the mountains, where they were told how cruel the Wangyou Pavilion on the rivers and lakes was, and how they cruelly dealt with those who betrayed them.The six children were intimidated again and again, completely immersed in fear and anger towards Wangyou Pavilion.They almost all collapsed, but after the collapse, the Guanglin Demon appeared, treated them well, gave them advice, and made the six of them catch the only one who could survive.It is self-sacrifice, in order to protect the family, in order to prevent any more children from suffering from them, to plan a plan to get rid of Wangyou Pavilion.

"He said that there is a secret that many people don't know the reason why Wangyou Pavilion is so huge and untouchable, that is, there are people in the court. And in order to protect themselves, these two adults deliberately stood in opposite positions, seeming to be incompatible with each other. Deadly rivals, in fact they are very close in private, and they are both working for Wangyou Pavilion." When Qu Changle said, suspicious eyes were still lingering between Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang, "What you are talking about is the two adults!"

Grand Master Pang was stunned, turned to look at Bao Zheng's black face, and said with an unabashed disdain and smile: "This old man and Bao Zheng? Hahaha... Even if this old man dies, he won't be close to this kind of person. If such absurd words, you How dare you believe it, it really is a child!"

"In that closed environment, once a 'god' is formed, his words will be believed for no reason. What's more, what he said does have some truth." Zhao Hanyan said.

Grand Master Pang raised his eyebrows: "God?"

"Saved them, provided them with food, clothing, housing, transportation, methods and suggestions, so that they can choose to be 'reborn'. For adults, his words are very provocative, easy to convince people, and they are trustworthy, not to mention the six who just encountered Children who have unfortunately left their parents. For them, the Guanglin Demon at that time was a 'god', and this idea will become more and more serious as they become more and more attached to the Guanglin Demon as they are trained." Zhao Hanyan explained.

"Tsk tsk." Grand Master Pang shook his head, feeling a little pitiful for shopkeeper Xue and others.

"He is right. He is the person we trust the most. His words are more important to us than imperial decrees." Shopkeeper Xue said with a dull gaze on the ground, "Since then, we have admired him very much. When he is like a god, no matter what he does or says, he is very powerful. We would never have thought that we would have today, let alone that those words were lies."

Taishi Pang was surprised: "But he instigated you to kill so many people later, and you also believe that he is a god?"

"If you choose to change, you will always bleed, otherwise you can choose to be bullied to death willingly." Shopkeeper Xue's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Grand Master Pang, "What he said."

Zhao Hanyan then asked about Taoist Ziyan.

"Ziyan Daoist is Liu Ergou, he suffered with us." Qu Changle said.

"There are two people left." Zhao Hanyan stared at the three of them.

Shopkeeper Xue shook his head, "Even if Guanglin Demon lied to us, we can't betray our brother. Don't waste your time, we won't reveal the identities of the remaining two."

"Blind priest." Zhao Hanyan said.

Shopkeeper Xue was stunned, and when he and Zhao Hanyan looked at each other, he realized that his surprise was seen through by the other party, so he quickly lowered his head to avoid Zhao Hanyan's gaze.But Zhao Hanyan also confirmed this after seeing the reactions of Qu Changle and Su Yuerong.

"He has already been wanted by the whole city, and it will be a matter of time before he is caught." Zhao Hanyan said to the three of them, "The last person left is silent, and there are no clues, but I think that since Guanglin Demon targeted Taishi and Bao My lord, since the person from Kaifeng Mansion has been captured, the remaining person should be in the Grand Master's Mansion."

Grand Master Pang was suddenly named, his face became serious, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to go back to the mansion for a thorough investigation, and they must find this 'spies'.

Then the three shopkeepers Xue told the whole plan.At the beginning, Taoist Zi Yan designed the blood coir raincoat and other cases to provoke Kaifeng Mansion, because he expected that Bao Zheng would be difficult to overthrow, so he slowly tested the depth and learned about Kaifeng Mansion's temper in handling cases. The ignition is also excellent.Things started off smoothly, but later, because Taoist Ziyan was conceited, he didn't leave when he should have left, which killed himself.As for the silver melting case behind Ziyan Temple, it was originally used to further design Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang.

The next step is to carefully plan, but unexpectedly, Bao Zheng was detained by the magistrate of Deping County, and he was concerned about the abduction case of six boys in Deping County six years ago.Fearing that the truth of the matter would be revealed, Zhang Zhai happened to be dead. In order to attract the attention of the Kaifeng Mansion, the kidnapper Qian Shi was forced to abduct people in front of the Kaifeng Mansion. Throwing it on the bank of the Caihe River, the moat, poisoned dozens of people in Zhang's house, and completely stirred up public opinion on the case.

At this time, the overall plan for Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang was finally ready, starting with framing Qu Rongfa, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, which triggered the overall situation of framing Grand Master Pang and then holding Bao Zheng accountable.Everything was difficult at the beginning, because Qu Changle echoed it at first, so the whole arrangement went smoothly. Qu Rongfa was imprisoned, and Pang Taishi was confessed to save his life. , but was seen through in the end, and there was a biggest mistake that made it impossible for everyone to turn over.

Of course, this flaw refers to the current situation.

After Bao Zheng ordered the document to record all the incidents, he confirmed and asked the shopkeeper Xue and the other three people.

"Who is Guanglin Demon?"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Song Tingkong."

Shopkeeper Xue gave a definite answer, signed it, and then spoke to everyone with a wry smile.

"He once said that the success of the future depends on the six of us. At that time, he thought that what he said was referring to the destruction of Wangyou Pavilion. Now I understand what he really meant. But he probably didn't expect it. On us. If it wasn't for what happened in Wangyou Pavilion, the six of us would rather bleed to death for him than say half of his confession.

He said that the most intolerable thing in this world is deception, and we are never allowed to deceive him, but he uses the greatest deception to deceive us. "

Qu Changle heard shopkeeper Xue's words, and sighed coldly: "How ridiculous."

After another loud gavel, Bao Zheng announced to summon Song Tingkong.

After Song Tingkong entered the hall, he saw shopkeeper Xue, Qu Changle and Su Yuerong, and then saw the people of Deping County standing on the east side of the hall.Looking at Bao Zheng sitting in the first seat and Grand Master Pang looking at him with anger on his face, everything is clear in his chest.

Song Tingkong slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Bao Zheng slapped the gavel heavily and asked Song Tingkong if he could plead guilty.

"It's just a defeat."

As soon as Song Tingkong finished speaking, he heard shopkeeper Xue and others break free from the shackles of the servants and wanted to rush towards him.

Song Tingkong didn't move, but glanced at shopkeeper Xue from the corner of his eye, then stopped looking at him, and just looked directly at Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang.

Because shopkeeper Xue and the others were so angry that they were so angry that they wanted to kill someone when they saw it, so the attack must be indiscriminate.Now is the final critical moment of the court trial. Zhao Hanyan thought that in terms of Song Tingkong's situation, there was no need to confront shopkeeper Xue and others, and if shopkeeper Xue and others stayed behind, there was a danger of breaking loose and killing Song Tingkong at any time.Zhao Hanyan ordered people to take away shopkeeper Xue and others, as well as six families in Ping County.

"Thinking about it, we've done almost all the research. Is there anything else I can ask?" Song Tingkong asked proactively.

"Song Tingkong, I didn't realize that you are thicker-skinned than this old man." Grand Master Pang narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Tingkong with disgust.

Bao Zheng ordered people to show Song Tingkong the confession just made by shopkeeper Xue and others.

"That's right." After Song Tingkong glanced at it, his tone was calm, as if the things mentioned in the testimony had nothing to do with him at all.

Such a frank confession surprised the people present, and they were at a loss for words for a while, and just stared at the seemingly inhuman thing in the center of the hall with hatred.

"Song Tingkong, do you know that you killed—"

"Lord Bao, don't use the way of interrogating ordinary criminals to deal with me, don't forget who I am. The way you Kaifeng Mansion played trial is the rest of our criminal department." Song Tingkong reminded Bao Zheng in a 'friendly' way .

Bao Zheng frowned and stared at Song Tingkong, as if he couldn't see clearly whether the person in front of him was Song Tingkong who was still begging for him in court.

"Why." There was a small voice, but Song Tingkong heard it clearly.

Song Tingkong searched for the owner of the voice and looked at Zhao Hanyan: "Good question, why. Presumably Grand Master Pang has already forgotten how he insulted a young master of Songzhou 17 years ago, humiliating him in front of his son Incompetent, he ordered his pants to be pulled out and beat him with a board. Later, his father became lame, resigned from office and was unhappy at home. Two years later, due to the inconvenience of walking in rainy days, he stumbled and fell into the lake, and had no chance to climb out of the water by himself. come out."

Everyone present could tell that the person Song Tingkong spoke of was his father.And this incident was really long ago for Grand Master Pang, and he didn't remember it at all.

"Where are Qu Rongfa and Master Bao?"

"How does Qu Rongfa flatter those who bully his superiors, do you still have to tell me?" Song Tingkong sneered.

"Master Bao will never do anything to insult you." Zhao Hanyan said.

Song Tingkong met Zhao Hanyan's eyes, "He's an eyesore."

"Is this the reason?" Zhan Zhao couldn't bear it anymore, he no longer kept silent, he would be more anxious about Mr. Bao's affairs.

"If there is a kind of person, no matter what you do, how hard you work, how good you are, others will only see him first and then you. What will happen to you? Cowards will always choose to endure, I am not." Song Tingkong said At the last three words, there seemed to be countless poisoned sharp arrows shooting at Bao Zheng in his eyes.

"To put it bluntly, you are just jealous that Mr. Bao blocked your limelight, and you want to get rid of him. Song Shangshu killed two birds with one stone, because he wanted one person to replace the positions of Grand Master Pang and Mr. Bao, the positions of powerful officials and the reputation of good officials loved by the people. You want them all, you are so greedy, you are too calculating!" Zhao Hanyan sarcastically said.

After hearing the words, Song Tingkong focused all his eyes on Zhao Hanyan, "Who are you?"

"Sir Song, indeed, you are a noble person who forgets things a lot. You don't care who I am—"

"True identity." Song Tingkong squinted his eyes, and his eyes cut Zhao Hanyan's face sharply, "What kind of cook, the son of the Eight Kings, I'm afraid it's all a lie. I'm a liar, and I still have the face to accuse me here."

Zhao Hanyan turned cold.

The courtroom suddenly became extremely quiet.

Everyone cast their eyes on Zhao Hanyan and Song Tingkong.
