Jingzhaofu Prison.

At night, Du Wulang lay on the thatch and murmured: "This Jingzhao Yin likes to catch me. This is my third time here."

"Perhaps you really broke the Tang law?"

"Hey, do you really want to serve for two years?" Du Wulang turned over, threw the thatch at Xue Bai, and said, "I thought you would be able to deal with it."

Xue Bai smiled.

He came to avoid the limelight because he was worried that Dong Gong and Za Hu would turn their attention to him if they couldn't kill each other.

At the same time, let’s test Xiao Jiong.

If it was just a small matter of beating an official, Xiao Jiong would definitely not offend him, the imperial concubine's sworn brother, and would just settle the matter; but since he was sentenced like this this time, he must have guessed that he was also responsible for the big case.

As you can guess, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

In addition to the two of them, the cell also contained the person who beat up someone in the bookstore that day... and even Da Xi Yingying.

They all thought that Xue Bai had a way and would never end up in jail. Even at this moment, many people still hold this idea.

"Will Mrs. Guo Guo rescue us?" Da Xi Yingying asked.

"It will only take a day or two at most." Du Wulang was quite optimistic.

Before he finished speaking, a torch was lit on the other side of the corridor, and a green-robed official led the jailer to the cell door.

Signing to open the cell door, he took Xue Bai to another cell to talk alone.

"You and I should have a nice talk."

Xue Bai said: "My case is very simple. I beat Yuan Zhen. I wonder if there is anything you don't understand, sir?"

"I am Lu Qi, the legal director of Jingzhao Prefecture. I would like to ask you a few words about some other cases."

"Are you Jiwen's successor?"

Hearing this question, Lu Qi was stunned, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "I am different from Ji Wen. I am not a cruel official, but a talented person who governs the country."

"I see."

Lu Qi lowered his voice and said: "Actually, many people have guessed that you had the Huihe people killed in the suburban post house, as well as Pei Mian."

"It's because I have 'I am the murderer' written on my forehead. Otherwise, why would you guess like this?"

"There is nothing written on your forehead, and you don't look like a murderer." Lu Qi said, "But none of the princes in the court is extremely smart. You can infer it just from the pros and cons."

"This is what I fear the most when handling a case."

"This is not something you and I should discuss at this time."

"Okay." Xue Bai said: "Based on the pros and cons, this case points directly to the East Palace and should be done by Ge Nu. Therefore, only Ge Nu will infer that it was me. The so-called 'many people' are nothing more than Ge Nu's disciples."

.”

Lu Qi nodded and said: "I know what you want to do, turn a public case into a private grudge. The same trick will be useless if you use it over and over again. I will tell you the truth, the reason why Jingyin dares to take you to jail is because he is not afraid of Guo

Madam, the noble concubine is causing trouble because she has solid evidence."

"Yeah?"

"We already know who the killer you sent is, do you want to hear it?" Lu Qi came closer and whispered: "There are only two killers, one is six feet one inch tall and has a Liangzhou accent; the other is six feet four inches tall

, there are scars on his face, dents on his lips, and he is always grinning."

The firelight in the cell flickered.

After Lu Qi said this, he stared at Xue Bai's face.

Unfortunately, Xue Bai didn't react much.

"You don't have to pretend to me, I know everything you need to know." Lu Qi sighed: "It's not difficult to check that you sent their slave status to Mrs. Guo's house. This matter is far from as seamless as you think.

."

Xue Bai said: "Then you can go and tell Ge Nu, and we will find out the truth and make a great contribution."

"You still don't believe me." The look on Lu Qi's face became solemn, and he sighed and said: "I told you, you can't hide it anymore. While Jingyin was taking you to jail, he was already searching Fengwei Building. Did you hide it?

Can’t stop them.”

"oh."

"At this point, I am the only one who can help you." Lu Qi said, "If you have any news that you want to pass on to Mrs. Guo Guo, I can help you."

"Why help me?"

"Want to hear the truth? I want to have a good relationship with the Yang family."

Xue Bai said: "What news do you think I should spread?"

"News that can save you."

"Okay." Xue Bai also lowered his voice and said, "Then you answer for me, I killed Pei Mian..."

Lu Qi narrowed his eyes, not expecting that things would succeed so easily.

He originally thought that it would take some time and several more messages for Xue Bai to gradually gain his trust.

However, Xue Bai suddenly changed the topic.

"One more thing, Lu Qi is not Ji Wen's successor, but Pei Mian's successor."

Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, his face stiff.

Seeing this, Xue Bai smiled slightly and asked in a low voice: "How much did Li Heng tell you? Did he say that those old soldiers were not from Wang Zhongsi's sect? Or did he ask you to clean up all the evidence?"

"you……"

"Why can Li Heng trust you so much?" Xue Bai asked again: "You must have fought for it? You took advantage of Li Heng, covered up for him, and gained his trust?"

Lu Qi unconsciously tilted his body up, hiding in the darkness.

After that, he laughed and said, "I deceived you. It was indeed you who did it."

"Yes." Xue Bai said: "Pei Mian is dead, so you must be careful."

Lu Qi laughed angrily and asked: "How long do you think you can hide it? I have already found out."

"For the same reason, don't let Ge Nu discover you. He is not very generous."

Lu Qi stood up with a smile, shook his head, and felt that Xue Bai was hopeless, so he turned and walked away.

He did find out the whole case. It was not difficult. Donggong told him.

But the price was also high, and he himself found himself in the most turbulent whirlpool of party strife.

He suddenly regretted that he was too eager for quick success and quick success to win the lucrative position of legal director in Jingzhao Mansion, which may not be a good thing for his entire future.

The key is that the planned scapegoat suddenly turned into a wolf...

It was still dark outside the prison door, and Lu Qi's figure gradually disappeared.

Xue Bai was taken back to his original cell, lowered his head and thought.

He just guessed, because Xiao Jiong's hesitant look when he decided the case didn't look like he had evidence of his crime.

The information about Lao Liang and Jiang Hai that Lu Qi just mentioned is all in the military register. According to what the old soldier from Longyou said, Donggong knows these situations best.

So, if Lu Qi comes to talk tonight, it means that the East Palace gradually loses the confidence to deal with An Lushan and wants to settle the case as soon as possible, so it betrays him again.

It is indeed unreliable.

How to do it?

Don't do it.

The suburban murder case has nothing to do with him at all, so why should he react just because of Lu Qi's few probing words? Once you start thinking about what to do, you've fallen into a trap.

Let them gossip, he only cares about what he wants to do.

~~

Slept one night in Jingzhaofu Prison.

At dawn, Yang Yuyao came.

"Xue Bai!"

"Third sister."

Xue Bai stood up and his eyes fell on Yang Yuyao's luxurious and white men's brocade robe. He thought that she was indeed called a "male fox" and was very loyal.

Yang Yuyao rushed to the fence and saw Da Xi Yingying first. She frowned and said angrily: "What's going on in Jingzhao Mansion? Are men and women locked in the same cell?"

Da Xi Yingying used to catch beautiful young people for fun in the name of Mrs. Guo Guo, but when she was caught in person, she did not dare to respond and kept her head down.

Du Wulang could only mutter in a low voice and said to the rescue: "That's because I wanted to rescue him soon."

Yang Yuyao took Xue Bai's hand at the fence and said, "This matter turned out to be more difficult than I expected. Each of the dog officers used to be deferential, but this time they all said that the case was too simple."

"Understandable." Xue Bai said: "I am indeed too blatant in this case. If we want to solve this case, it is useless for the third sister to force various government agencies. We should start from Yuan Ming."

"How to save you?"
