Xu Zhiqiong had long known that what was lying on the ground was not Qu Jinshan's body.
The corpse had no horns on its head, but the horns on Qu Jinshan's head were about an inch long. Unless the judge killed Qu Jinshan, no one could take off his horns.
But the judge will not kill Qu Jinshan. Qu Jinshan's horns are less than two inches and his crime is not enough. If the judge kills him, he will be punished.
But what Xu Zhiqiong didn't expect was that what was lying on the ground was not a corpse at all.
He never expected that Qu Jinshan was a Yin-Yang cultivator.
Tong Qingqiu is also a yin-yang cultivator. Xu Zhiqiong has seen the dummy made by Tong Qingqiu. The thing was barely visible at night, but if you look carefully, you can see the flaws.
But the body lying on the ground had no flaws, and even the blood and brains flowing out had a fishy smell.
Seeing Qu Jinshan coming in front of everyone, everyone was dumbfounded. An official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs couldn't help shouting: "Is this a human being or a ghost?"
Qu Jinshan sneered, looked at his servant Fan Baocai and said, "Do you think I am a human or a ghost?"
Fan Baocai hurriedly hid behind Qu Jinshan and said tremblingly: "I don't know, no, I don't know, you are a monster..."
Qu Jinshan nodded and said: "Yes, I am the demon who cannot be killed!"
Wu Xu also smiled, and Xu Zhiqiong held up a lantern and admired everyone's expressions.
The officials in the Ministry of Personnel looked as if they were constipated at this moment, feeling indescribable pain and embarrassment.
They were so filled with righteous indignation that they wished they could drown the lamp-carrying Yamen with their saliva.
Now the saliva is still hanging on their lips, but they don't know what to say.
"This, this, but, strange, really strange..."
"Here, what's going on?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Kairong. Judging from his expression, Zhou Kairong's constipation was the most serious.
It was he who designed to frame Qu Jinshan, but he didn't expect that Qu Jinshan was still alive.
This means that everything he does will be revealed.
Attacking the lantern holder is a capital crime. No matter whether it is an official or a citizen, as long as the crime is proven, they will not escape death.
Zhou Kairong, whose life was hanging by a thread, suddenly turned around and said to Fan Baocai: "Have you fallen under his witchcraft?"
Fan Baocai was also smart enough. He was stunned for only a moment, and then he nodded desperately and said: "Yes, I was hit by his sorcery."
Zhou Kairong continued to guide: "This demon asked you to take him to the backyard and kill Cuiling in front of you, is that true?"
Fan Baocai nodded continuously and said: "It's absolutely true, this is what I saw with my own eyes!"
Zhou Kairong added: "Fang Laowu, the guardian of the hospital, bumped into this demon and beat him to death in anger. Unexpectedly, the demon used sorcery and Fang Laowu actually killed a corpse. Is this true?"
"Yes! Yes!" Fan Baocai nodded, "What the master said is that I was deceived by this monster!"
Xu Zhiqiong secretly raised his middle finger and admired Zhou Kairong endlessly.
Facts have proved that as long as you have a thick skin, no matter how outrageous things are, you can come around.
How long is this man's sin?
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't see it.
His cultivation level should be above level seven, beyond the visible range of the Eye of Sin.
Zhou Kairong looked at Wu Xu and said, "What else do you have to say?"
He planned to harm Qu Jinshan for two purposes.
The first is to avenge his nephew. If it was Xu Zhiqiong who left the table to go to the toilet instead of Qu Jinshan, then it was Xu Zhiqiong who died now, and his nephew's revenge would have been avenged.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiqiong followed Wu Xu all night and never left.
Zhou Kairong couldn't kill Xu Zhiqiong, but he didn't stop. He had another purpose, to use a murder case to frame Zhang Deng Yamen.
As the law enforcer of the Deng Yamen, the Deng Lanman took advantage of the situation and committed murder in the house of the official doctor. This crime was enough to have Wu Xu dismissed from his post, and Zhong Shen would also be implicated.
Although Xu Zhiqiong was not the one who died, and he felt a little bit regretful about it, he brought down Wu Xu and overthrew the lamp-bearing office, and Zhou Kairong also gained some bad energy.
After Wu Xu was dismissed from his post, there was no one to protect Xu Zhiqiong. Killing a little white lantern man was like crushing an ant.
Unexpectedly, Qu Jinshan, who was captured as a scapegoat, was not an ordinary person. He not only escaped death, but also found out the truth of the matter.
Zhou Kairong's situation is very dangerous. He must insist on one point. It was Qu Jinshan who killed the maid Cuiling. As long as this matter is confirmed, Wu Xu will not be able to escape the involvement.
At the critical moment of life and death, Zhou Kairong was really brave and kept looking at Wu Xu.
Wu Xu also looked at Zhou Kairong as if he were looking at a pig struggling in boiling water.
After all, he is also a fifth-rank official, but he has no eyesight at all.
At this time, he still wants to bite Wu Xu, can he do it?
Wu Xu asked: "Since it was your nurse who killed my subordinate Lantern Man, where is this nurse named Fang Laowu now?"
Zhou Kairong pointed at Qu Jinshan and shouted: "I should ask you this! You shameless monster! You were afraid that the matter would be exposed, but you killed Fang Laowu to silence you!"
Qu Jinshan laughed loudly and said: "This is an injustice to me. Fang Laowu is still alive. I will take you to see him now."
"You're talking nonsense!" Fan Baocai shouted, "Where is there anything, where is it, how can it be so easy to find..."
Fan Baocai's voice became softer and quieter. He was frightened and emotionally unstable. He accidentally spoke out of turn just now.
He wanted to say that there was no such thing as Fang Laowu.
Xu Zhiqiong also suspected that there was no such person as Fang Laowu in Zhou Kairong's house!
But Qu Jinshan said yes and knew where this person was.
"Everyone, follow me!" Qu Jinshan led everyone to the front yard, walked to the toilet door, and said to his servant Fan Baocai, "Fang Laowu is inside, go and ask him to come out!"
Fan Baocai turned pale and shook his head repeatedly: "I, I won't go..."
Qu Jinshan pretended to be surprised: "Isn't it just a toilet? What are you afraid of?"
"No, no, I won't go, I just won't go..."
Wu Xu said to Qu Jinshan, "It seems that this servant is so frightened by you that he doesn't even dare to go to the toilet. Mr. Zhou, do you dare to go?"
Zhou Kairong's lips and cheeks trembled, and he couldn't hold himself any longer: "I, why should I go to the toilet?"
Wu Xu smiled and said: "I went to find your guardian. Didn't you say that he was a loyal servant? Didn't you say that you wanted to treat him as a family member?"
After Wu Xu finished speaking, he kicked open the toilet, and Qu Jinshan lightly kicked in the flowers nearby.
This kick seemed random, but in fact it touched the mechanism accurately.
Above the toilet beam, an iron pestle more than two feet long suddenly fell down and hung upside down above the toilet pit.
If someone is squatting in a pit at this time, if he squats closer to the front, the back of his head will be pierced; if he squats further back, the top of his head will be pierced.
The dummy "Qu Jinshan" was standing with his head down at the time, so he was also stabbed in the back of the head.
There is still blood on the tip of the iron pestle, which is the blood of the fake "Qu Jinshan".
Qu Jinshan pointed to his servant Fan Baocai and said: "This guy brought me to this toilet. As soon as I entered, I felt something strange. The walls of this toilet are thick and have a lot of construction skills, but ordinary people can't tell.
After I closed the door, I heard the sound of a mechanism in the wall. Thanks to my sharp eyesight and quick hands, I called the substitute out at the critical moment, but I was able to prevent this disaster for me!"
While talking, Qu Jinshan took out a jade plaque and rubbed it twice in his hands. An old man who looked exactly like Qu Jinshan appeared next to him.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and Qu Jinshan laughed and said: "Don't be surprised, everyone, this is not a human being, it is a Yin-Yang puppet that I have used for many years."
I don’t know what this puppet is made of, but its texture and feel are exactly the same as those of a real person.
He turned the puppet over, and there was still a bloody hole on the back of the puppet's head. Qu Jinshan continued: "Look carefully, everyone, this scar was left by this iron pestle. This iron pestle is the elder Fang of the Zhou Family Nursing Home."
five!"
Everyone was shocked, and Zhou Kairong said angrily: "Old man, don't spit on people with blood, you set up this mechanism, and you intend to frame me!"
Qu Jinshan smiled and said: "I am not telling you any lies. This mechanism looks simple, but it is powerful and concealed. If you want to set up such a mechanism, even a fifth-grade Mohist master will need at least an hour. If you don't believe it,
You can ask someone from the ascetic workshop to check it out."
Zhou Kairong said: "I don't know where this mechanism comes from, Fan Baocai, but have you ever brought this monster to the front yard toilet?"
Fan Baocai responded quickly: "I have never taken him to the front yard to use the toilet. He said he wanted to go to the backyard."
Qu Jinshan sighed: "Now that the matter has come to this, why bother to argue? The scars on the puppet's head are no different from the iron pestle. The blood stains on the iron pestle's head are the ink in my puppet. This ink is specially made by me. Find it.
Anyone who comes to Yin Yang Division will know it once he examines it."
Zhou Kairong said: "That's a pure lie, your puppet clearly fell in the backyard!"
Qu Jinshan pointed at Fan Baocai and said: "We have to ask him now. He triggered the mechanism, thought he had killed me, opened the door, and carried the puppet away. Little did he know that I used the invisible method to hide in the toilet.
"
Fan Baocai knelt down and cried: "Master, he wronged me. I have never touched any puppets. I just took him to the backyard!"
Qu Jinshan said: "Zhi Qiong, take a look at his clothes!"
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to take off Fan Baocai's clothes. Zhou Kairong shouted: "Who are you? You are so bold! How dare you touch my servants in my home?"
"Mr. Zhou," Wu Xu spoke, "according to the laws of the Great Xuan Dynasty, if a murder case occurs at night in Wang'an Jing, it should be handled by the lamp-bearing office. The place where the lamp shines is not your home, but the person who is arrested by the lamp-bearing man in my court.
He is not your servant, but a suspect. If you obstruct the lantern man, you will be punished with the same crime as the thief!"
Zhou Kairong looked at Wu Xu and stopped looking at him. He lowered his head.
Xu Zhiqiong pulled Fan Baocai and looked at the top of his head.
The horns on his head are not short, are they two inches?
It seems almost the same.
It's no use even two inches. Fan Bao is the important witness to bring down Zhou Kairong, and he can't be killed yet.
Xu Zhiqiong brought Fan Baocai to Qu Jinshan and pulled off his clothes.
A large "bloodstain" was left on Zhou Kairong's shoulder. Qu Jinshan said: "This is also the ink in my puppet. This ink does not touch the clothes, only the skin and flesh. It seeped through the clothes and stayed on his body."
Wu Xu looked at Zhou Kairong, who said nothing.
The matter was exposed, exposed to an irreversible situation.
Qu Jinshan continued: "You carried my puppet to the backyard, dragged out a female corpse from the secret passage next to the latrine, and placed it next to the puppet. I know how to open the secret passage, do you want me to take you there?"
Fan Baocai knelt on the ground and trembled into a ball.
Wu Xu looked at Fan Baocai and said, "Are you guilty of attacking and killing the lantern man?"
Fan Baocai was speechless and just kowtowed to Wu Xu.
Wu Xu asked again: "Who instigated you to do this? If you tell me, maybe you can still have a way out."
Fan Baocai was still speechless, and Zhou Kairong said from the sidelines: "This evil servant did all this, and I have no knowledge of it."
This was Zhou Kairong's last resort, blaming everything on the servants.
Does this trick work?
Obviously it doesn't work.
All we need to do is take Fan Baocai back to Zhang Deng Yamen and torture him severely. He will confess everything within a night.
Wu Xu said to Zhou Kairong: "I believe that Mr. Zhou is innocent. I will take the prisoner away right away."
Xu Zhiqiong picked up Fan Baocai and was about to take him on the road when he suddenly heard someone say: "Wu Qianhu, please stay."
The person who spoke was Liang Yuming, the prince of Prince Huai.
Liang Yuming saluted Wu Xu and said, "Yuming has poor eyesight and does not distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. He almost caused thousands of families to be harmed by traitors."
Wu Xu smiled and remained silent. Zhou Kairong said: "Why did the prince say this? Zhou really didn't know..."
"Zhou Kairong, you are so shameless!" Liang Yuming gritted his teeth, pointed at Zhou Kairong and shouted, "You said you wanted to make peace with Wu Qianhu, but you used such treacherous tricks to frame Qianhu. I blinded myself and mistakenly believed you, a traitor.
!”
"Your Majesty..." Zhou Kairong still wanted to defend himself.
"Shut up!" Liang Yuming was furious, "I will testify for Wu Qianhu about today's matter. If you have anything to say, please tell me in court!"
A wave of coercion struck again.
Another domineering ninth-level skill, the power of Dragon Fury.
This skill was so overbearing that everyone bowed their heads, and Xu Zhiqiong could only bow his head too.
He bowed his head a little slower than others.
Just because he was slow, he saw a strange scene.
Liang Yuming popped something out of his fingernail, but he didn't know what it was.
