After Lu Bai left Master Shi Qi's cell, he went to Yue Baihu's cell.
He asked Yue Baihu to make another confession.
"Bai Qianhu once raped and killed a brothel girl, and the evidence is conclusive." Yue Baihu wrote down the confession, and at the same time told the Yamen that in order to cover up Bai Qianhu's crime, he ordered the widow to make perjury on the autopsy sheet.
Lu Bai was surprised, "A dignified and dignified guard from Qianhu wants to rape and kill a brothel girl?"
Prostitution for free, don’t want to spend money?
Yue Baihu sneered, "Lord Qianhu has a special habit, and all the brothel girls in Ankang City are afraid to accept his customers. It is also in the house of Young Master Shi Qi that he is intimidated by the lustful power of Young Master Shi Qi. The girl from Wanyin Tower
We dare not disobey."
Speaking of Wanyin Tower, Yue Baihu has something to say.
"Bai Qianhu tortured three girls to death on Wanyin Tower, and threw their bodies in the wilderness to be eaten by monsters."
Moreover, many of the girls in Wanyin Tower are not girls from brothels at all, but girls from good families. They were either coerced and lured by Mr. Shi Qi's people, or they were simply abducted and kidnapped.
"Upstairs in Wanyin there is a madam who specializes in training girls. He whips him at every turn. Some girls who refused to obey were actually pushed down from the building." Yue Baihu said.
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, "It's so important, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
He asked Yue Baihu to add this crime to the crime.
This is good, there is one more case.
Lu Bai found out. He should have thought of a way out earlier and should not have stayed in Yancheng. If he had been collecting cases in other cities like this, he would have become an immortal in less than half a year.
"Okay, you did a good job." Lu Bai patted Yue Baihu on the shoulder.
Yue Baihu smiled and said, "It's right to share your worries, sir. So what, sir, when can I go out?"
Lu Bai asked him to be patient for the time being, "Bai Qianhu and Master Shi Qi are still in jail. If you go out now, wouldn't you be asking for trouble? You should wait until the case is over before you go out."
"But -" Lu Bai looked around, "This cell is not very good. I will ask someone to change it to a better one. You can have a good sleep in it and enjoy yourself."
Yue Baihu agreed.
So Lu Bai asked people to take Yue Baihu out of the cell and arrange him into a bright cell.
After sending Yue Baihu away, Lu Bai went to Bai Qianhu's room again, thinking to himself, he was a genius after he solved the case just by wandering around a few cells, right?
Bai Qianhu was deep in thought. When he was interrupted by Lu Bai's door opening, he raised his head and looked at Lu Bai quietly.
Lu Bai no longer wanted to persuade him, and was looking at him quietly.
After a while, Lu Bai placed Yue Baihu's confession in front of Bai Qianhu, "You don't need to mention the confessions of those four cases. This is the crime confession of Mr. Shi Qi. I can completely put the name of this confession on
On your head."
After Bai Qianhu lowered his head and glanced at it, he saw that it was full of confessions from four cases, each in detail. He couldn't help but be shocked. If Lu Bai had this confession, Bai Qianhu really didn't need to confess.
If Bai Qianhu didn't confess, his end would be to put his head in his hands.
Bang!
A knife fell on the ground, making Bai Qianhu tremble in fright.
"Bai Qianhu, I chose the road for you, but you took the narrow road, so you can't blame me." He kicked the knife under his feet, "Now is the time for you to fulfill your promise, give your head.
"
Bai Qianhu's big beads of sweat immediately broke out, "No, no, Mr. Lu, I'm going to make a joke for you this morning."
He didn't expect Lu Bai to be so brave and actually capture Master Shi Qi.
"I'm not kidding you." Lu Bai knelt down and looked at Bai Qianhu, "A man must keep his word."
Bai Qianhu felt aggrieved again, "But Mr. Lu, you agreed to give me a stick of incense to consider. You can't break your promise."
Lu Bai pondered, "You're right. I just kept my word and can't break my word. Let's do this. I'll give you two choices -"
He reminded Bai Qianhu, "I am not asking you to give evidence against Master Shi Qi, but I am letting you out and you can arrest some people for me in the name of Jin Yiwei Qianhu."
Bai Qianhu was still very alert, "Arrest, arrest who?"
Lu Bai pointed to the four confessions, which mentioned the names of those who dug river embankments, trampled rice fields, and killed the fathers of weavers and dyers. Regarding these, Yue Baihu knew roughly who was in charge, even if he did not know clearly.
So everyone who has done these things is on the list.
"Catch them!" Bai Qianhu was shocked. This was almost against the Shi family. However, he was so stubborn in the morning that he could talk to Lu Bai and talk about how people who were born in humble circumstances can climb up. This confidence came from Shi.
Home.
Now let him come forward to offend the Shi family——
"That's right, if you don't agree, then I can only send you to death." Lu Bai stepped on the knife under his feet with his toes, "Don't worry, this time I will wipe out the Shi family without leaving any further trouble. Now you have offended
They'll be fine."
Bai Qianhu couldn't believe that there was still a man named Shi in a high position in the capital.
"No matter how big an official he is, he can't control you. Don't forget, you are a royal guard and a personal soldier of the emperor. Only the Holy One can deal with you, and the Holy One -" Lu Bai smiled slightly, "To tell you the truth, I can
Call him brother."
Bai Qianhu was stunned.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was quite right.
He is only afraid of Young Master Shi Qi. Once Young Master Shi Qi dies, the Shi family will no longer have any masters. What does he have to be afraid of? Even if Jian Zhai wants to stand up for his disciple, he will only go to Lu Bai to trouble him.
Therefore, Bai Qianhu chose to help Lu Bai between death and a very small probability of death.
"Okay, I promise you." Bai Qianhu nodded.
Lu Bai smiled happily, "That's right, but I still want to remind you, don't be cunning in front of a practitioner of the Sky-breaking Realm, otherwise you will die in an ugly way."
Bai Qianhu reassured Lu Bai that he knew the stakes.
"That's good." Lu Bai personally untied Bai Qianhu, and just as he was about to leave, Lu Bai suddenly said: "Do you know who wrote this confession?"
Bai Qianhu nodded, not to mention that he knew the note, but among the people Lu Bai arrested, the only one who could write this confession was Yue Baihu. Yue Baihu was his confidant, and he often sent Yue Baihu to
Master Shi Qi works, so Yue Baihu is clear about these sects.
"It's good to know." Lu Bai asked him to read another confession, "This was written by Yue Baihu when he was writing down the charges against Master Shi Qi."
Bai Qianhu glanced at it and suddenly broke out in cold sweat. There were all charges that could put him to death.
Just as he reached out to take it, Lu Bai took it back.
"Don't worry, I'll give it to you when it's time." Lu Bai put it in his arms, "I have to say, Yue Baihu is very ambitious, and I like ambitious people."
Bai Qianhu's face felt cold.
Of course he knew that Yue Baihu was very ambitious, so he rushed to get rid of him, and his ambition was obvious.
Seeing Lu Bai's unstinting admiration for Yue Baihu, he hurriedly said: "Yue Baihu is not a good person, and he has done many immoral things."
He wanted to ruin Yue Baihu's impression in Lu Bai's mind and drag Yue Baihu to his level, so that Yue Baihu wouldn't be able to ride on Lu Bai's head after he climbed onto a high tree.
"Oh, really?" Lu Bai asked Bai Qianhu to explain.
Bai Qianhu recounted several incidents, especially the story that after Yue Baihu had a quarrel over a trivial matter between his family and neighbors, Yue Baihu made false accusations and had the whole family executed.
"The conflict between the two families is not big. It's just that Yue Baihu's family has a newly built house, a large tiled house with high eaves. When it rains, the water on the tiled house stays along the tile eaves, and then falls on the neighbor's wall.
.”
Lu Bai knew that most of the houses in this era were adobe houses with tile eaves to protect them from the rain. The walls should not be exposed to rain. Otherwise, over time, the house would become damp at best, or the walls would tilt and collapse at worst, which would put the lives of the residents in danger.
.
"The neighbor said a few things about Yue's family at that time." Bai Qianhu continued.
The distance between the eaves of the two houses is common, and there is an agreed commonly known distance. When the Yue family built their new house, they used large tiles for the sake of appearance. The tile eaves exceeded the center line of the common distance, and all the rainwater from the tile eaves would fall to the common distance.
On the neighborhood wall.
"The neighbor wanted to pull back the tile eaves. But Yue Baihu's wife is a tough woman, and she started scolding her in just a few words."
This wife-in-law was a shrew, and she cursed harshly, and with the support of hundreds of Yue households, she dared to say any nasty things. The neighbor couldn't stand hearing it anymore, so he raised his hand to scare her, and was later stopped.
"The woman was frightened at the time, but later she felt that she was too embarrassed when she was frightened, so she became angry and made the fuss even louder - mainly with Yue Baihu." Bai Qianhu told Lu Bai, not waiting for a few days.
, Yue Baihu seized on the neighbor's belief in Maitreya Buddha, arrested the neighbor, and finally executed them all.
Buddhist beliefs were not very popular in the Southern Dynasties, but as Buddhism developed day by day, it became less resistant. At least one or two temples still existed, and it was far from the point where everyone who believed in Buddhism was exterminated.
But those who believe in Maitreya Buddha are different.
This is a belief that is half Buddha and half Taoist.
Most of the people who believe in Maitreya Buddha are ordinary people. They firmly believe that one day such a son of the Emperor of Heaven will be descended. The future Buddha will restore the mountains and rivers and give them a good time without worrying about food and clothing like when the dynasty was founded.
Nowadays, he claims to be the emperor. This belief is undoubtedly taboo, so those who believe in it will be beheaded if caught.
"Does my neighbor really believe in Maitreya Buddha?" Lu Bai asked.
Bai Qianhu shook his head, "No, a brother saw him throwing Maitreya Buddha into a neighbor's house. He reported it to me, and I - I hid it from him."
Lu Bai called him "good guy, another murder case."
Lu Bai doesn't know how many cases there are now, so he can only wait until the case is completed to see the panel reward lottery opportunities.
However, this case is undoubtedly the best to solve. There are witnesses, the asylum seeker recruited it himself, and the criminal is in prison, so the panel directly gave Lu Bai a chance to draw a lottery.
While they were talking, they came out of Zhao Prison.
The snow is falling heavily again.
They had just stood in front of the door, just in time to take a look at the heavy snow, when they saw a Haoqi Sect disciple hurried over, cupped his hands to Lu Bai and said, "Master, Mr. Gu has been attacked."
Lu Bai's heart tightened, "Where are the people?"
"The two attackers were captured by Junior Brother Sloppy and are now being held in the hall waiting for your interrogation." The disciple said.
Lu Bai smiled and turned back to Bai Qianhu: "Master Bai, do you want to go and have a look?"
Bai Qianhu agreed without saying a word.
He already vaguely knew in his mind who sent the attackers, but he didn't know who sent them. He went to see them, and he felt confident.
However, as soon as he entered the courtyard where Lu Bai lived and entered the living room, he saw the two people in custody, and Bai Qianhu's heart skipped a beat.
It seemed that his previous guess was wrong. Lu Bai would not let Master Shi Qi out at all. This was because Bai Qianhu knew the two attackers. They were two masters recruited by the Shi family and the Lord of Shi City.
One is an outer disciple of Jianzhai, and his realm is in the mind power realm.
These outer sect disciples do not have a high status in the sect, but they have a very high status outside the sect, and sometimes they cannot find even a thousand pieces of gold. This disciple of the Sword Studio was invited by Master Shi Qi to come to the Shi family as a guest.
His idea was that after Shi Qi became the head disciple, he would climb up to the high branch of Master Shi Qi and have a higher status in the sect. Also, if the Shi family became a secular force in Jianzhai, then he would be the one between the two.
Bridges are very useful.
The other one is a spiritual master of unknown origin, whose realm is at the early stage of moving mountains.
As the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from, and masters don't ask where they come from either.
Because of his high level, the Shi family offered him up without finding out his origin.
However, according to the information Bai Qianhu found out, this unknown spiritual master is probably a disciple of an unknown spiritual sect, because the chance of getting promoted is very slim, and even the skills he practices are not enough to allow him to go to a higher level.
Ascension to a high realm, so walking in the secular world, hoping to get opportunities.
These two people can be said to be the force that supports the Shi family after the departure of Master Shi Qi. They are also the force preparations made by the Shi family to become a noble family with the support of Jianzhai.
However, all the money that the Shi family had worked hard to save is now in the hall.
They slumped down on the ground with a sluggish look. The slovenly Taoist priest kept wandering in front of them. When he saw Lu Bai coming in, he hurriedly came over to take credit, "Master, I got them down. It was me who did both of them. You
When will you give me wine?”
Lu Bai was very satisfied with the task he completed, "Go to Yun Niang and ask her to reward you with four jars of wine."
Gu Qinghuan is in charge of the wine shop, and Yun Niang is her right-hand man and will help her handle the wine distribution.
The sloppy Taoist priest immediately beamed with joy and couldn't help but lift the wine gourd and take a sip of wine.
He had been saving before, but now he had to get two jars of wine, so there was no need to save and he could have a few sips. After he finished drinking, he remembered again, "Master, that scripture -"
"Of course I owe it first." Lu Bai looked around, "Do you want me to say it in front of so many people?"
"No, no, then I'll pay for it first." The sloppy Taoist laughed and went to ask Yun Niang for the drink.
Lu Bai stood in front of the two attackers, smiled, and said to Bai Qianhu: "Master Bai, do you have any questions?"
"No, no more." Bai Qianhu no longer had any worries.
Now that all the masters of the Shi family, including the Seventh Young Master Shi, have fallen into Lu Bai's hands, the Shi family of Ankang City has nothing to fear for the time being.
"Since there is no more, the list on the confession just now——" Lu Bai looked back at him.
Bai Qianhu reassured Lu Bai that he would arrest those people now and thoroughly convict Master Shi Qi for what he had done.
"Then go quickly." Lu Bai urged him to leave.
As for the two masters in front of me.
He sat on the chair and looked at them sitting on the ground.
They didn't know what restrictions were placed on them by the Taoist priests, and they remained motionless until a quarter of an hour passed before their restrictions disappeared. The outer disciples of Jianzhai were very happy and were about to use their telekinesis.
Whoosh!
A chair flew up out of thin air and hit him on the head.
