"Sometimes there are grievances that cannot be restrained by the law. There is really no direct murderer for Zhong Ling's death, unless Mrs. Sun dies and admits to the crime."

After coming out of the prison, Shao Yubai looked at the sickle moon in the sky, feeling overwhelmed.As he spoke, the hot air in his mouth condensed into a white mist in mid-air.He recalled the scene of Zhong Ling's death, the sky and the earth were all white, as if there was no darkness at all.After all, the darkest place lies in the human heart.

Duan Wuji's expression is also dignified, "Although there are blind spots in this way, it is not only disadvantageous."

For example, Hong Zhen also used cautious methods to frame Sun Shangshu.The snow satin of the dragon robe was bought by the Sun family, and the tailor who made the clothes was hired by the Sun family, but why the government office in the box turned into a dragon robe, Sun Shangshu couldn't argue.

Unless Hong Zhen didn't want to take revenge and turned himself in before the emperor, then none of the Sun family could survive alone.

Zhao Wen walked with the two of them in the middle of the night when there were few pedestrians.

"On the first day of my apprenticeship, Master told me that there is a lot of helplessness in working in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Sinners are not necessarily bad people, and sometimes bad people are not necessarily sinners. What I Buddha can do is to do my best. More people who deserved to be brought to justice...I kind of understand what he meant now."

Shao Mobai was the one with the most history among the three, he was calmer in comparison, so he thought of another detail out of Zhong Ling's death.

"However, the little case is not over yet."

Zhao Wen paused and understood what he meant, "Yes, the murderer who killed the child has not been caught yet."

Shao Mubai said worriedly: "Tomorrow, the whole family of the Sun family will be executed, and no one will care about this case after that. Then shouldn't the murderer get away with it?"

Zhao Wen's eyebrows gradually twitched, "This murderer is not easy to catch. Although Sun's father and daughter identified Zhong Ling as the murderer, Hong Zhen chose to believe him in the end. After so many years, it is impossible for him to Didn't check it out."

Shao Mubai felt reasonable, "It can only be that this person hides too deeply and it is difficult to find out."

Zhao Wen thought for a while, then slightly relaxed his brows, and said, "I have an idea, maybe it will work."

Then, the three of them stopped, discussing a desperate strategy.

The Sun family has been ministers for generations, and has not offended any enemies in the world. Although they are involved with the killer organization, they have given enough money for each transaction, and have not formed any enmity.

And the murderer behind the scenes, who hated the Sun family and Hong Zhen deeply, and even wanted to murder the descendants, was probably a political enemy.But this political opponent did not dare to attack Sun Shangshu directly, so it is very likely that his official position is not high enough to give power to the government and the public.

"If the enemy you hate so much is about to kill his family, you will be so happy that you will set off firecrackers, and even go to the execution ground to witness his head fall with your own eyes. But..."

Zhao Wen changed the subject, his face turned cold, "But, what if the prison officer announces 'not guilty and released'?"

Lincang's capital city is to the north, and even at the end of February, the cold wind can't wait to blow a few holes on the face.

The old man who was happy to watch the sky said that there should be another snowfall in these two days.

Zhao Wen didn't care about this, he only cared that there would be a tough battle at noon tomorrow.

...................

The supervisor and beheader is Zhao Wen's master, Liu Xian, the servant of the Ministry of punishment.

This case is of great importance, and the emperor personally designated it to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment without making any mistakes.

Like Zhao Wen, Liu Xian was a man of integrity and jealousy. Considering the urgency of the incident, they decided to kill the emperor first and then play the emperor.

At noon, more than a dozen members of the Sun family were sent to the execution ground. Liu Xian said loudly: "According to the investigation of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the case of Sun Shangshu's treason is indeed an unjust case. Therefore, Hongchai received the knife and was released without charge!"

Sure enough, not long after the words were spoken, more than a dozen men in black poured out from the nearby teahouse, all of them raised their swords high and rushed towards Sun Shangshu.

Obviously, this is what they left behind. If there is any change in today's execution, they will come hard.After all, this opportunity is once in a thousand years. Even if they all die together, the murderer will never let Sun Shangshu go again.

Those men in black were obviously well-trained killers, and they rushed into the center of the execution ground in an instant.However, they didn't expect that among this huge crowd, there were two other people who would be afraid of even ghosts and monsters.

"Whoosh!"

I saw two people flying up, one holding a fan and the other wielding a whip, rushing towards the killer like a flying dragon soaring into the sky.In an instant, a white light suddenly appeared, causing everyone to close their eyes and back away.

Within half a stick of incense, Shao Duan and the yamen servants arranged by Zhao Wen in advance controlled the scene, and not a single man in black was left, and all of them were arrested.

At the same time, the nearest teahouse, which could have a panoramic view of the practice field, made a crisp sound of cups breaking.The man realized that he had been tricked, and threw his teacup to escape, but the moment he opened the door, he was surrounded by officers and soldiers who were on standby at the door.

Liu Xian walked out from the crowd of officers and soldiers, stopped in front of the man with his hands behind his back, and said firmly:

"Master Xu, please stay safe."

Xu Da, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, many years ago, Sun Shangshu accidentally ran his younger brother to death on the street when he was rushing on the road.However, due to his great power, the Xu family had nowhere to file a complaint.He has always kept this grudge in his heart.It wasn't until he was promoted step by step through the examinations that he found the opportunity to start.

It's just that he didn't expect that after all his tricks were exhausted, he would finally fall into the hands of Zhao Wen, the master and apprentice.

It took a very short time from setting up the plan to controlling the thieves, Liu Xian looked at the sun, and it happened to be three quarters in the afternoon.

However, just when they were planning to take the Sun family and his party to the execution ground, a scene that no one expected happened - Hong Zhen strangled Sun Shangshu to death with the iron chains on the shackles.

When everyone realized that the situation was wrong, Hong Zhen had already snatched the yamen servant's saber and put it on Sun's neck—he thought that, as Liu Xian said, the Sun family would be acquitted.

Like Xu Da who had just been arrested, he was desperate and wanted to put the father and daughter to death.

"Hong Zhen! Put down the knife!"

Shao Mobai was in a hurry, and took two steps forward, but saw that the blade had cut two points deep, so he had to retreat again.

Hong Zhen didn't yell, but just pinned Sun with hatred, his eyes were dark.

Real anger doesn't need to roar.

This day was February [-]th, the day Zhong Ling passed away ten years ago.

Shao Mobai stared at his unwavering eyes, stopped his hand in mid-air and did not dare to take the knife rashly, "I understand your difficulties, but just now that slap was only to lead out the real culprit who killed your son, Sun Shangshu is still a death penalty for treason."

Hong Zhen moved the corner of his mouth, "Do I believe you?"

This is not a question, he just said it sarcastically, not to mention Shao Mobai's answer, such a cold tone only reveals two words: I don't believe it.

Just like Zhong Ling couldn't get half a trace of trust back then, Hong Zhen at this time is unwilling to give half a trace of trust to others.

He ignored everyone's dissuasion, one step at a time, and brought Mrs. Sun to the corner of the execution ground.A flag was hoisted there, with a red background and a black border, which was used to drive away ghosts.

Shao Mobai only took a step forward, keeping the distance between a few people, and said:

"According to the law, Mrs. Sun will definitely die. But if you are not the one who killed her, but you, you and the entire Hong family will bear your life debt for generations to come!"

Hong Zhen tilted his head, "Do you think I care?"

"What about Zhong Ling? If he is alive in heaven, won't his heart ache when he sees you like this?"

Hearing the long-lost name hidden in his heart, Hong Zhen's eyeballs finally moved, but only for a moment, and was covered with infinite sadness.

"You have no idea what it's like to lose the most important person."

His heart is very small, he only puts one Zhong Ling, and nothing else.

While speaking, he slowly raised his head, glanced at the flags that were turning over and over in mid-air, and the fine snow that had begun to fall at some point, he trembled, and his cold eyes finally eased a little.

"It must be so cold when Lingling leaves."

After saying that, a pool of blood gushed out, splashed a few drops on the flag, and was instantly frozen by the wind and snow, turning it dark.

Shao Mubai stared blankly at the corpse on the ground, and Hong Zhen smiled.He had seen this smile before, when he crawled out of the secret passage and saw Duan Wuji sleeping in the snow, that person's smile was exactly the same as the current scene.

"Wuji, do you really have such feelings, do you only want to live for that person..."

Duan Wuji rubbed the lines of the dragon whip in a daze, lowered his eyes, pondered for a while, and cruelty flashed across his eyes, and said:

"If someone harms you, I will kill him."

Of course there are such feelings, for example, in the last life, Duan Wuji overthrew all the forces of Pingjiao to fight against the martial arts, just to keep someone who hurt him.

The desolate snowflakes drifted profusely, spreading layer upon layer of the blood-stained execution ground, like a fluffy cotton quilt.

However, only when this crystal layer of snow is completely uncovered will one discover that underneath the white snow is hell.

"In the whole world, no one is willing to believe in himself. What kind of feeling is it..."

Shao Mobai looked at the officers and soldiers cleaning the execution ground with a solemn expression, as if the strong blood would never go away.

For some reason, Zhong Ling's experience reminded him of the past.His eyes immediately became wet. This was the first time, and the only time in his life, that he shed tears for the ghost.

Back then, Duan Wuji was just like Zhong Ling, carrying boundless suffering and injustice, no one believed him.At that time, Duan Wuji was pressed by him every step of the way, standing alone under the hundred stone steps, surrounded by people from Mobao, isolated and helpless.

He once raised his eyes in the shadow of swords and swords, and said:

"Shao Mobai, if I said that I came to Mobao because I love you, would you believe me?"

He didn't believe it, and no one in the world would believe it.People just looked at him like a joke and thought he was probably crazy.

"This devil is too shameless. Can you say such things?"

"It's not that the incident was revealed, and we started to play the emotional card."

"Leader Shao and Mr. Gu are very affectionate, how can he be the one who can get involved?"

"If he is boasting so much, leader Shao would not believe a single word."

"That's right, don't you know anything about yourself? It's really shameless to go to Mobao to win sympathy!"

At that time, he only felt relieved when he heard these cursing, but when he thought about it now, every word was like a knife, piercing into his heart fiercely.

At that time, Duan Wuji was ridiculed overwhelmingly, staring at those sharp sword blades, how uncomfortable should it be?

Whenever Shao Mobai thinks of this, his heart feels like being soaked in coptis water, almost suffocating with bitterness.

"Wuji, I will love you very much!"

He hugged Duan Wuji, his voice choked.

Duan Wuji looked bewildered, "What's wrong with you, why all of a sudden?"

Shao Mobai was immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate himself, "I love you, Wuji... So no matter what happens, you must tell me. Don't worry if I don't believe you and keep holding back, no matter what I say, I will always believe in you. "

Although Duan Wuji didn't know what happened, he felt that this person was really sad, so he hugged his back, patted him lightly, and said softly:

"Do you believe me to try? The skin will be taken off for you!"

Shao Mobai shuddered all over, and then tightened his arms tightly like a rascal.

"You won't...Wuji, you just can't bear it—————"

A scream pierced through the sky.
