"They're fake."

Tang Wuxia still clutching his stomach, he walked towards Zhan Zhao step by step.Tang Wuxia knew that at this time, he couldn't hold back Zhan Zhao.

It's just that the stomachache has seriously affected his combat effectiveness, so all he can do now is to be optimistic about the prisoner, so that Zhan Zhao can face the enemy with peace of mind.

Zhan Zhao didn't put down his sword, and compared to the doubt just now, his eyes were more determined.In fact, he also agreed with Tang Wuxia's point of view, and the small actions of the two of them just now made him suspicious.He was sure there was something wrong with these two, but his gut told him that they didn't want to take their lives.

In fact, what makes Zhan Zhao suspicious is not only their actions, but also some details.Zhan Zhao didn't pay special attention to it when he was starving before, but now that he looks carefully, he can see some problems.For example, their sleeves are not seriously worn. If they sell tea here all year round, the cuffs should not be so intact.

"What is your purpose?"

This sentence was naturally asked by Zhan Zhao, Tang Wuxia had a stomachache and didn't want to speak at all.From when Zhan Zhao drew his sword, Tang Wuxia only said five words, five words that had to be said.

"You two gentlemen, I really don't know what you are talking about. I just sell tea, and my purpose is to save more money to find a wife."

"The owner of the tea shed is behind the stove."

When Tang Wuxia spoke, it was still a sentence he had to say, other than that, he didn't want to utter another word.

Tang Wuxia just saw a pair of hands, a pair of rougher and older hands than the two.The skin on that hand was already a little wrinkled, and the color of the skin was darker. Of course, the degree of blackness was still incomparable to that of Bao Zheng.The most important thing was the rope was tied to that hand, and Tang Wuxia could still vaguely see the man's back, which was flickering because of the struggle.

These two people were indeed sent by the black hand behind the scenes. The reason why they didn't kill the owner of the tea shed was of course not because they were kind-hearted.They were just afraid of arousing unnecessary suspicion. Tang Wuxia and Zhan Zhao had heard of how powerful they were.

The master sent so many people but failed to kill them. Seeing that the man was about to arrive in Kaifeng, the master decided to abandon the original plan and send them to carry out the new order.Naturally, their task was not to kill the three of them. In fact, their task was very simple. It simply made them feel that the master sent them here.They only need to bring a note to the man, a note written by the master himself.

Both of them knew their mission well, and they also knew that there was absolutely no need for them to confront Tang Wuxia and Zhan Zhao head-on.So one of them took out a thunderbolt from his bosom and threw it out. The smoke was between the two parties. Tang Wuxia and Zhan Zhao couldn't see the movement of the two people on the opposite side at all, so they could only wait until the smoke dissipated. go.

The smoke came and went quickly, but the speed of the two people was even faster. By the time the two could vaguely see each other, there were no figures of the two people there, only a pair of teacups pressed under the tea bowl on the table. note.

There were four words written on the white paper—disaster to the family. The words were crooked, as if the writer had deliberately written them with his left hand.The threat contained in these four words is self-evident, Tang Wuxia and Zhan Zhao naturally did not miss the instant change of expression of the prisoner.

He naturally recognized the crooked handwriting, because every time he gave himself a task, it was like this.The reason why he helps that person is because his family is under his control, so whether he likes it or not, he will try his best to complete all the tasks assigned by that person, so that the person will not hurt himself. family.

Not only did he understand the meaning of those four words, Tang Wuxia and Zhan Zhao also understood the meaning of those words, and they even guessed what the prisoner would do next. Suicide is the best choice. As long as he dies, there will be no harm to the people behind the scenes. Any threat, but how people who have no use value will be dealt with, they are unable to determine.But most of such people may be directly silenced.

Obviously it's irrational to bet your life on that person's mercy, but when the object is your cherished family member, you have to take a gamble regardless of management or irrationality.

On the way back, Zhan Zhao and Tang Wuxia were always on guard against the prisoner's suicide, but in the end the man didn't do anything, and the man who reached Kaifeng Mansion didn't even intend to end his life at all, as if he had never seen Those four words are the same.

"grown ups."

"My son-in-law, guard Zhan, this person is the murderer who killed Mr. He?"

"It's him. My lord, this is the dagger found on his body, and it's a copy of Xu Qing's testimony from the empty island."

While talking, Tang Wuxia gave the dagger and Xu Qing's testimony to Gongsun Ce, and passed it to Bao Zheng through Gongsun Ce.Bao Zheng looked down at the testimony, and it could indeed prove that those daggers belonged to this person.

"Ascension!"

The gavel was slapped heavily on the desk, making a "pop" sound.

"Can you plead guilty to the people under the hall?"

"The Caomin pleaded guilty. Mr. He was killed by the Caomin, and the daggers beside the other four adults were also placed by the Caomin."

"According to Mr. Gongsun's diagnosis, you have used drugs to extract confessions from several adults. What do you want to know from them?"

"Treasure Map."

Speaking of the treasure map, Bao Zheng naturally thought of the one that Fang Xun said. Not long after Fang Xun was robbed, something happened to several adults. Could it be that there is a connection between these adults? What kind of role is it playing.

"Not long ago, there was a saying in Jianghu that Fang Xun, who knew the location of the treasure in the previous dynasty, was robbed by those adults."

"So you want to get the whereabouts of the treasure from the mouths of several adults?"

"Yes."

"Then what about Master Yang?"

"He is greedy for life and afraid of death. He saw that we killed He An and saw the plight of the others, so he naturally agreed to cooperate with us."

The trial process went smoothly. The prisoner seemed to cooperate unexpectedly, and he confessed everything. This situation made Tang Wuxia and others doubt his testimony.

"Who made you do these things?"

"No one, I did all of this myself. Killing He An is the same as killing you."

"You killed Master Yang?"

The man's words made Tang Wuxia suddenly think of something. Before that, Tang Wuxia always wondered why this man ran away when he saw him that day.At that time, I and Zhan Zhao were wearing civilian clothes, and I had never met the prisoner before.Why did he turn around and rush out when he saw his face, regardless of the heavy rain outside, as if he knew that the two were here to catch him.

Although Tang Wuxia has many titles, such as successor of Tangjiabao, governor of Kaifeng government, and son-in-law, he is not famous enough, and everyone can recognize him at a glance.Now he finally cleared up his doubts. It turned out that this person was the one who hid outside and shot Master Yang. No wonder he recognized himself.

"I killed it."

Confessing again and again, Zhan Zhao and Tang Wuxia both remembered those four words: Harm to family members.No wonder he was so quiet afterwards, no wonder nothing happened on the way, it turned out that the note didn't want him to die, but made him confess all his sins.

"grown ups."

Tang Wuxia yelled at Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng just glanced at him before slapping the gavel on the desk again.

"Retire."

With just one look, Bao Zheng already knew that Tang Wuxia and Zhan Zhao had something to say to him.Moreover, this matter is also related to the case he is trying, and it is even very important, so Bao Zheng chose to withdraw.

"You mean, you received a note on the way back, and it was the mastermind threatening the prisoner?"

"Yes, my lord, it is this note."

Bao Zheng took the paper in his hand and looked at it again and again to see if there was anything else besides the crooked handwriting.He handed the note to Gongsun Ce, who was his subordinate, hoping that he would give him a different opinion.

"What do you think, Mr. Gongsun?"

"This ink is not an ordinary ink. Musk is added to the ink, which is not used by ordinary people."

Just this sentence Bao Zheng already understood what Gongsun Ce meant. This man deliberately wrote with a hand that is not good at writing, because he was afraid that he and others would recognize his identity from the handwriting.Now this ink has not been deliberately replaced with ordinary ink, how could such a careful person make such a mistake.

So there could be only one reason. The writers usually use this kind of ink, so they didn't realize that this ink would become a clue for Bao Zheng and others to trace his identity.

"Sir, it's not good!"

When Bao Zheng was about to say something, Zhang Long walked in suddenly. His pace was very hurried, and he didn't even arrive in time to inform him. His voice was even more urgent, and his speaking speed was faster than usual.

"What happened?"

The four people in the room were startled, and suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"Reporting to my lord, the prisoner in the case of Mr. He committed suicide."

"How could this be?"

"Just now the prison chief came to report that not long after the prisoner entered, he heard someone yelling that he was dead. When he arrived, he found that the yelling was someone from the next cell of the prisoner, and the prisoner had already bit his tongue and committed suicide. "

When Tang Wuxia and the others rushed to the cell, they saw that one sitting against the corner.His head was drooping, and the blood on his lips hadn't completely dried off.The blood stretched down the man's chin to the straw on the ground, and that spot of scarlet was particularly eye-catching.

The smell of blood in the air hadn't dissipated yet, Tang Wuxia frowned slightly upon smelling it.It's not that he hasn't smelled this smell before, on the contrary, he has often smelled it since he came here, but now the smell is different from before.Tang Wuxia felt that there was a hint of sadness in this smell.

Tang Wuxia never thought that he was a sentimental person, and his heart was actually very cold in many cases.Just like when he first came, he could blame others for killing Qin Xianglian for his own sake.Just like he can kill those killers without hesitation in order to survive.

Or in fact, he still regards these people as NPCs, so he doesn't pay too much affection for their experiences, but what this person does now resonates with Tang Wuxia.He chose to carry everything and commit suicide in order to protect his family. There is no doubt that he loves his family.And what Tang Wuxia is looking for is actually a family that loves her.

Several people returned to the study room again, apparently everyone had guessed the reason for the man's suicide.Tang Wuxia wanted to help that person, for the family affection he guarded.

"My lord, I think we might as well keep the matter a secret."

"My lord, the students also agree with the son-in-law's method."
