Detective in the Red Chamber

But right now...

Sun Shaozong could only sneer back in his heart.

Seeing Master Hongyuan sighing, he slowly put the confession on the coffee table, got up and bowed solemnly: "Thanks to Mr. Sun for his insight, otherwise the poor Taoist would still be kept in the dark by the young disciple."

It stands to reason that Sun Shaozong should be polite at this time, but right now he doesn't want to play cards according to common sense.

Although he got up and returned the salute, he said in a neutral tone: "Maybe it's too early for the real man to say this."

Daoist Hongyuan was taken aback, looked at Sun Shaozong in surprise, and then asked: "What does Sun Shaoqing mean by this?"

"There are still a lot of doubts about the case. The truth that the real person thinks at the moment may not be the real truth." Sun Shaozong smiled mysteriously, and then said seriously: "Now I have ordered someone to interrogate the criminal. If the real person has any doubts, you may as well go to the nearby tea room Listen in..."

"Second brother, wait a minute!"

Just as he was talking, Jia Baoyu's voice suddenly came from outside, and then he came in from outside, and said to Gongshou, "Jia Baoyu has seen a real person."

During the Wanshou Festival back then, Daoist Hongyuan also met Jia Baoyu once, knowing that this is Concubine De's younger brother, so naturally he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly bowed and returned the gift.

But when he wanted to start a conversation again, Jia Baoyu rushed to accuse him again, dragged Sun Shaozong into a corner and started whispering.

Not long after, Sun Shaozong came back with a helpless face, but changed his words: "If the real person wants to, I can ask people to put down the screen and the seat, but the real person is behind and can't speak at will, so as not to affect my questioning."

Although Daoist Hongyuan was somewhat baffled by his change of words, it was not a big deal after all. Besides, it seemed to be Jia Baoyu's intention, and it was not easy to go into it, so he responded vaguely.

So Sun Shaozong issued an order, and the servants of the Ningguo Mansion lifted the screen of Wufu holding the birthday, sealed a corner of the living room at an angle, and placed a grand master's chair inside.

Immediately afterwards, there were two more book cases, one horizontal and one vertical in the middle of the north wall, and then Chen Jingde and Huang Bin, each holding printed letters, gavels, blank paper and other things, and spread them out on the two book cases.

After the hall was properly arranged, Daoist Hongyuan was invited to sit behind the screen.

He originally thought that the next step would be to interrogate his two apprentices, but a moment later, a group of Yingyingyanyan came in.

Only then did Master Hongyuan know that Sun Shaozong vacated the tea room to arrange for these female relatives.

At that moment, there was an unknown fire in his heart.

This case is not only life-threatening, but also involves a scandal in his family, how can a few women be allowed to sit in on it?

Originally intended to go out and have a fit, but after thinking about it, this is not a serious court, and most of the female relatives are the hostesses of Rongning Second Mansion.

If he was going to make a fuss, it would be fine to offend Sun Shaozong, but it would not be worthwhile to offend the Jia family and the Concubine De.

In addition, he is also eager to find out what Sun Shaozong said just now.

So he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and sat back on the chair.

…………

But outside the screen, while all the girls were talking to Sun Shaozong, the maidservant had already moved all the tables, chairs, tea and snacks into the tea room.

When they got in, they chirped and arranged their seats, only to see Baoyu arriving late, shaking a piece of rice paper with wet ink stains and laughing: "This is the confession of the trial this morning. Brother copied a copy!"

As he spoke, he pulled one of the tea tables to the middle, and carefully spread out the confession.

"whispering sound!"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was facing the confession, but he himself was upside down, Shi Xiangyun blamed half truth and half falsely: "Second brother is so biased, could it be that the opposite is your good relative, and the wind is blowing on our side?" Can't come?"

But Lin Daiyu was not easy to get along with, as she looked at the confession, she retorted and said: "Sister Yun is showing cowardice this time, didn't you say the word 'love brother' that time, even if it is reversed, you can recognize it? "

Seeing that the two had another quarrel, Jia Baoyu simply picked up the confession again, and said with a bitter face: "Come on, it's all my fault. I'll read it to all the sisters. It's over, right?"

Xue Baochai also hurriedly persuaded: "Calm down, after all, the family is having a funeral."

As soon as these words came out, even Jia Baoyu became more serious, controlled the volume, and read the confession again.

Although all the girls had already heard the general idea, they had heard the details for the first time, and some of them couldn't help feeling that Ma Yizhen and Master Hongyuan were worthless.

At the same time, some people felt that Ma's death was a miserable death.

While they were discussing, they heard a crisp sound from outside, and then Chen Jingde shouted in a melodious voice: "Come on, bring the prisoner to the court!"

Only then did the girls calm down and turned their attention to the hall.

…………

However, after Sun Shaozong sent an order to ascend to the hall, Ma Yizhen and Liu Yiwei, whose hands were bound upside down, were brought into the hall.

This Ma Yizhen is really six feet long, but he doesn't appear to be reckless and clumsy. His eyes are shining brightly, and he is shrewd from the inside out.

At first glance, it looks like Sun Shaozong who is a little smaller.

As for Liu Yiwei next to him, with a thin, black and well-proportioned physique, and indifferent and rigid facial features, it was obvious at first glance that he was a stubborn master.

After Sun Shaozong looked at the two of them one by one, he suddenly ordered: "Deputy Chen Si, come and ask questions."

Chen Jingde was a little dazed at the moment, and he was stunned for a while, until Ma Yizhen couldn't help but raise his head to look at him, and then he suddenly came over, and hurriedly said: "Bold thief, you have already confessed, why are you confessing endlessly?" false?!"

Ma Yizhen was surprised when he heard the words, bent his body down, and replied: "I am wronged, my lord! Everything that the poor Taoist said is true, and there is absolutely no concealment of lies."

"Humph!"

Chen Jingde snorted coldly: "You're not going to die until the Yellow River!"

Immediately, he leaned forward and said in a coquettish way: "I ask you, and you confess in your confession that you have been outside the city for half a month and have never had any contact with the city. ladder, and specially brought iron nails, gavels, etc., so that Zhao Yixiong’s body can be hung on the plaque?!”

From this question, he knew that this guy's professional quality was not up to standard.

If he was an experienced interrogator, he would definitely hide this information first, so as to lure Ma Yizhen to show his feet.

On the contrary, Ma Yizhen reacted very calmly.

Then he said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, you are joking. How could I know that there is a ladder in the hall? I originally planned to nail the body of that shameless traitor in front of the statue of the Patriarch to apologize, but when I entered the door, I found a ladder inside. Changed my mind temporarily."

"This……"

Chen Jingde went through it in his mind, felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and subconsciously looked at Sun Shaozong, seeing that he was still there, he asked in a deep voice: "Then why do you want to make an appointment with Mrs. Ma in half a month? Aren't you afraid that something will happen to you if you have long nights and many dreams?"

Ma Yizhen was still eloquent in his answers: "Pindao is helpless. After all, if the agreed time is too short, it will easily make people think of the three of us."

After a pause, he solemnly said: "My fifth junior brother and I are not sorry to die, but we dare not ruin the reputation of our mentor! It is worth taking some risks for this!"

This time Chen Jingde didn't look at Sun Shaozong, but gave Huang Bin a disdainful look, obviously thinking that the question he raised was completely meaningless.

But the third question he asked next was still a suspicious point raised by Huang Bin.

But this time before Chen Jingde finished asking, Sun Shaozong suddenly interrupted and asked: "Before you killed Zhao Yixiong, did you give him a chance to defend himself?"

This time Ma Yizhen got stuck, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "The actions of that shameless villain are all outraged by humans and gods, what else is there to justify?"

"That is to say, you killed him without giving him a chance to defend himself?"

"This……"

"Yes or no?!"

"Yes."

"Then the officer will ask you to wait."

Sun Shaozong stared at Ma Yizhen with scorching eyes and asked: "Why do you think that Zhao Yixiong and Ma Shi have committed an act of mutual anger?"

It was finally easy for Ma Yizhen to answer this question, he hurriedly said: "Pindao said before that he only found out that Mrs. Ma was pregnant because of adultery..."

"What about other than that?"

Before Ma Yizhen could finish speaking, Sun Shaozong suddenly turned to Liu Yiwei who was at the side: "What evidence did you find?"

Liu Yiwei didn't open his mouth, and it was Ma Yizhen who tried to reply: "My lord, Fifth Junior Brother..."

"I asked Liu Yiwei!"

Sun Shaozong let out a low shout, and a dozen yamen servants in the hall immediately poked water and fire sticks to the ground, and the four yamen servants in charge of escort even made a gesture to go forward and grab Ma Yizhen.

Seeing this, Ma Yizhen had no choice but to close his mouth obediently, and then used his eyes to signal Liu Yiwei to answer carefully.

Liu Yiwei frowned unconsciously, slowly shook his head and said, "No."

"What never?"

"I have found no other evidence."

"That is to say, just based on Ma Yizheng's vernacular, you believe that Zhao Yixiong has an affair with Ma Shi?"

Liu Yiwei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Exactly."

"Then you never thought that Ma Yi is really lying to you? You must know that he and Zhao Yixiong are incompatible, and it is not a day or two."

Liu hesitated more and more for a while, but after a long while, he still thought of a suitable reason: "After all, the teacher's mother is the elder brother's aunt. If it weren't for the third master... If Zhao Yixiong hadn't had an affair with her, how could the elder brother kill her?" ?”

"Hahaha……"

Sun Shaozong laughed, and then said sternly: "It may be so according to common sense, but what if Zhao Yixiong was framed by someone?"

Liu Yiwei raised his head in doubt, and asked back: "Didn't your lord have already experienced that, master... is Mrs. Ma pregnant?"

"That's why the official said that Zhao Yixiong was framed by others, but he never said that Mrs. Ma was also innocent."

After Sun Shaozong finished speaking, he saw that Liu Yiwei was getting more and more confused, so he asked word by word: "I want to ask you, is it Ma Yizhen who has more opportunities to contact Ma, or Zhao Yixiong who has more opportunities to contact Ma?"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Yizhen became anxious first, and shouted, "My lord, the poor..."

"Gag him!"

As soon as Sun Shaozong gave an order, the servants who had been eyeing him for a long time rushed forward, stuffed Ma Yizhen tightly with rags, and held his shoulders so that he could not struggle.

Then Sun Shaozong turned his gaze back to Liu Yiwei: "Answer my question!"

Liu Yiwei looked at Ma Yizhen next to him, and finally said hesitantly, "Yes...it's the elder brother."

"Then I will ask you again, what is the relationship between Ma Yizhen and Ma Shi on a daily basis?"

"Aunts and nephews are naturally closer than others."

"Did the Ma family know that Ma Yizhen and Zhao Yixiong were at odds?"

"Should know."

"Is Zhao Yixiong still cautious?"

"Third Senior Brother has always...always been steady."

"That's strange. Since both sides know each other's position, and Zhao Yixiong is not a frivolous person, how did you dare to conclude that he had an affair with Mrs. Ma without any evidence?"

Liu Yiwei's answer became more and more hesitant every time, and he was even more speechless at this moment.

After all, what he really convinced was not the big brother Ma Yizhen, but the real Hongyuan behind the scenes.

but……

What if Master was also deceived?

Thinking of this, Liu Yiwei couldn't help casting a suspicious look at Ma Yizhen.

At this moment, Sun Shaozong also opened his mouth and ordered: "Take the thing out of his mouth."

A yamen servant was ordered to pull out the rag, and Ma Yizhen immediately shouted: "I am wronged, my lord! I did witness the adulterous relationship between the two of them with my own eyes, and I was ashamed and indignant before I thought of killing my relatives righteously—otherwise my aunt and I would be dead." She is a close relative, so how could she kill Zhao Yixiong just to frame Zhao Yixiong?"

Sun Shaozong stared at Ma Yizhen's face full of indignation, shook his head slightly and said, "This may be because the child in her belly is actually your evil seed."

As soon as the voice fell, a crisp sound came from behind the screen.

At the same time, Ma Yizhen also shouted in a hurry: "Master, this is groundless, how can you be so bloody?! Mistress is not only my mistress, but also my aunt..."

"How do you know that I have no proof?"

Sun Shaozong sneered and interrupted Ma Yizhen's defense: "In fact, your previous confession has already revealed the fox's tail!"

Chapter 852 Interrogation [Part [-]]

Hearing Sun Shaozong's insistence that his previous confession had revealed his flaws, Ma Yizhen couldn't help feeling flustered.

But he thought about it, but he couldn't think of any fatal flaw that he had exposed.

Thinking about Chen Jingde's three seemingly sharp questions just now, but he was easily perfunctory, Ma Yizhen couldn't help but raised his head and asked: "It's not a half-baked question to ask yourself, if your lord insists on detaining the crime On the head of the poor, please come up with real evidence!"

"Ha ha……"

Sun Shaozong chuckled, flicked on the open confession, and said calmly: "You once said in the Dali Temple court that you saw Zhao Yixiong and Mrs. Ma privately in the back garden on the twelfth day of this month. Yes, this is not a slander out of thin air, is it?"

Seeing Master Sun's confident expression, Ma Yizhen couldn't help muttering in his heart.
