How magnificent and magnificent Jingzhao City is, Zhong Qiyun didn't see it clearly at all, and he didn't have the opportunity to see it, because according to the regulations, the prison cars used to detain criminals are an eyesore and cannot enter the inner city. , he couldn't even pass, so he could only be sent along the outer city wall to the prison of the Ministry of Justice on the westernmost side.

The ancients really showed no mercy to criminals in various aspects, telling the people clearly that criminals are not even as good as animals...

Zhong Qiyun lamented that such a person should not only think twice before committing a crime.

Jingzhao City is very large, and there are not many pedestrians in the outer city. Although they entered through the gate on the west side of the city, it took a long time before they arrived at the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

The level of the prison in the Ministry of Punishment is much higher than that in Shuzhou, and it detains all important criminals in the whole country, and there are even many high-ranking officials and dignitaries among them.

The security is strict and the law is like iron. In this wide prison, there is a guard with a solemn expression within two or three steps.

Compared with the loose defense of the dungeon in Shuzhou Prefecture, the governance here is like an army.

Even Xie Wenyuan, an important figure in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, had to take out his token to verify that it was correct before he could enter.

And there's more than one checkpoint.

Zhong Qiyun quietly observed the prison absent-mindedly, and then looked at Xie Wenyuan who was walking forward. If it weren't for being unable to speak, Zhong Qiyun really wanted to say to this Master Xie, "This group of people can tell they are your subordinates at a glance."

But he can't.

How quickly you talk, how quickly you lose your life.

He dared to talk nonsense now, but because he was useful to Xie Wenyuan.

Sometimes, Zhong Qiyun also wondered if he had been silent for a long time and had something wrong with his brain. Now that he could have a word or two with this Master Xie, he didn't care what other people were.

The mouth is not only broken and sometimes cheap.

In fact, he is very transparent in his heart, and he often reminds himself that "this lord can't be provoked, can't afford to be provoked", who is he? second in command!

What an existence to look up to.

He is a little person who is shrewd in front of others, and caresses Nilin desperately, really desperate.

In fact, although he used to talk a lot when playing games, he was not so talkative when getting along with relatives and friends...

Zhong Qiyun sighed, maybe it was really because of something wrong with his brain that he put his life on hold like this.

Die More Than Dedicated to provoking people.

It's not that he didn't hear Xie Wenyuan's sentence "It's good to lose it", but he really couldn't hold it back, he even thought it was very funny after Xie Wenyuan said this.

Along the way, he spent half a month with Xie Wenyuan, although he didn't talk much, but he saw a lot of people. When did he see Xie Wenyuan say such a thing these days?

Zhong Qiyun sighed secretly again.

But in fact, I have no repentance at all.

When Xie Wenyuan personally sent him to a cell deep in the prison, he saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "Master Xie."

Xie Wenyuan looked over and didn't interrupt him, so he knew it was time to speak.

"Would it be possible for me to leave the jail once the trial is over and I'm proven innocent?"

Xie Wenyuan nodded.

Seeing that Xie Wenyuan seemed unwilling to talk to him, Zhong Qiyun was amused: "Actually, I didn't laugh at you just now."

"Oh?"

Zhong Qiyun's eyes were full of smiles, "It's just that your friend... is more interesting."

Zhong Qiyun licked his lips, and continued: "I'm not denying what he said. In fact, what he said is quite right, and I quite agree with it. Look, Mr. Xie, you are so outstanding, not only talented, but also good-looking Handsome, there must be hundreds of suitors, let alone your friend, even if I am a woman, I will marry you?"

Xie Wenyuan was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with this person, so he turned around and left.

"Hey, thank you, please don't go, thank you, thank you, ouch, my thank you~~"

Then a follower locked the prison door.

After they left, Zhong Qiyun laughed so hard that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

He really wanted to die, but he just couldn't stop, what should we do?

However, in the next few days, Zhong Qiyun never saw Xie Wenyuan again.

During the interrogation period, Zhong Qiyun did not know the person who was interrogated, and no one he knew was present. The night before, Zhang Hong, Xie Wenyuan's subordinate, went to the prison and explained to him that this person came from Shuzhou. This person needs to make a case report first, so for this interrogation, he must continue to pretend to be stupid and not reveal his secrets.

But Zhong Qiyun, who has become a habit of playing dumb, has no pressure at all, and this interrogation can easily be fooled.

For the next two days, Zhong Qiyun stayed alone in a prison cell, and he never saw anyone again. The cell environment is quite good, and the hygiene is also good. Food is delivered on time every day, although the food is not delicious. , but it will not be rotten, and he is happy to be idle.

August [-]th, Dali Temple public trial, early in the morning

The officers and soldiers who escorted him led him to the prison to wash and change his clothes. This time Zhong Qiyun washed his hair and body thoroughly, revealing a face that was very similar to his modern one, only a little thinner. .

Everyone said that Zhou Youling had a good skin, and Chen Ya'er, who was similar to him, naturally looked upright, but Zhong Qiyun still loosened his hair, covering his eyes that were no longer calm.

After washing and changing, Zhong Qiyun was escorted by four people to the court hall of Dali Temple on foot with his hands and feet in shackles.

Dali Temple is located in the south of the city, in the inner city. This time Zhong Qiyun was able to see the prosperity and beauty of Jingzhao City, but he didn't have the heart to appreciate it at all.

Live or die, it all depends on this day.

The opening of the trial will definitely attract the people in the city to go there one after another.

Before the time for the trial, the high threshold of the Dali Temple's public hall was full of spectators.

"Is this the insane murderer? It doesn't look like that kind of criminal."

"Hey, how many things in this world can be seen clearly with a pair of eyes?" A man with the appearance of a scholar shook his head, "But it is often 'say one thing and do another'. Dressed upright and full of benevolence and morality, but what he does is a male robber and a female whore, and the human heart is hidden in his stomach, how can he see clearly with only this pair of naked eyes?"

"Yeah, yeah, you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart, no matter how good you look, if your thoughts are not pure, everything is bad."

"Oh, I heard from my distant relatives in Shuzhou that Youling was very bad this week! Taking advantage of her prominent family background to bully men and women everywhere, but she is only in her twenties, and she has already married more than a dozen concubines. Really. …”

"I heard that the two daughters of the Wu family were as beautiful as flowers, and they were proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The matchmaker even broke through the threshold of Wu Xiucai's family. It's just that Wu Xiucai's family took pity on these two precious daughters, so they wanted to stay at home for another year. At [-] o'clock, they agreed. Hey... How could I know that I met Zhou Youling, a goddamn bastard! If it weren't for Zhou Youling this week, maybe the two girls had promised a good family and lived a happy life! Why--"

When this person said, the people who watched the theater were most likely to be infected by such emotional words. They were just stopping to join in the fun, but now they all felt a little bit of the same hatred.

"damn thing!"

"Why did the Zhou family give birth to such a bastard! How many girls have been wasted!"

"Yeah, it's because Wu Xiucai didn't give up and made a fuss to this point. We didn't know about it. Behind the scenes, who knows how many good daughters of other people have been bullied by this bastard, and then they were forced by the power of the Zhou family to swallow their anger!"

"Pooh!"

The crowd was furious, and some of the people watching even spit at Zhong Qiyun and threw rotten vegetable leaves. If the escort officer hadn't hurriedly drawn his knife and shouted to stop, Zhong Qiyun would have been beaten to death on the way before he even arrived at the court .

Zhong Qiyun snorted coldly in his heart, but that's okay, how angry the crowd is at the moment, they will only hate the Zhou family even more when the case is overturned later.

The reincarnation of heaven and the sufferings he has suffered will have to be returned by the people of the Zhou family.

Zhong Qiyun is not in a hurry.

"It's still Shengming, Prime Minister Wei. Although Zhou Youling is his wife and nephew this week, he didn't let it go when he knew about it. Please order this holy majesty to punish this wicked person severely!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly said such a sentence, and the people onlookers were even more astonished, and chatted enthusiastically.

"Prime Minister Wei's wife and nephew? God, with such a backer, no wonder he dares to be so rampant!"

"But for a benevolent and magnanimous person like Prime Minister Wei, why didn't he admonish Zhou Youling early? Wait until he commits a crime and ruins his daughter?"

"Hey, Prime Minister Wei has been in Beijing for many years, and he hasn't even been to his hometown. How can he know how his wife and nephew are rampant in Jinchuan County? Don't you see that this time he also killed relatives righteously? Prime Minister Wei is a virtuous man!"

"Yeah yeah!"

So this Zhou Youling still has such an identity?Hearing Zhong Qiyun in all directions, he immediately understood Xie Wenyuan's thoughts behind it.This is really big-hearted, he thought that Xie Wenyuan might have a grudge against the Shu state government, and wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge. Now it seems that Xie Wenyuan's goal is probably to discredit the head of the hundred officials, right?

However, Zhong Qiyun thought, listening to the tone of the people around him, this Prime Minister Wei seemed to be very popular with the people, so he wondered if his reputation would be damaged after this encounter.

Not to mention that the prime minister can be brought down, but at least today when things have fermented to such an extent, there are so many powerful groups involved in the murder of Zhou Youling and two unknown girls, and even the highly praised prime minister of this dynasty grown ups......

At first, he still doubted whether Xie Wenyuan could win the entire Shuzhou, but now it seems that maybe it is really not a problem...

As long as Zhong Qiyun pleads not guilty, as long as Zhong Qiyun reveals his identity, he can speak up in this murder case.

Zhong Qiyun thought so, and Xie Wenyuan, who was already sitting at the top of the court, thought the same way.

He couldn't think of it, and neither could Wei Hechao.

A fool, a mute, a scapegoat who was supposed to save his life, when he speaks, the day can also be turned upside down.
