But now that the matter was over, there were people sent by the Ministry of Punishment to supervise the interrogation, so Wang Tuiguan could only bite the bullet and continue to ask.
"You are so bold that you dare to bite at will! There is a land deed in the house as proof, and you will not tolerate your nonsense! You only talk about your relationship with this woman!"
The second housekeeper cried out loudly, "Sir, look at this woman's attire. She is at least a nobleman's concubine. Although I am an errand in the palace, I am not a big shot. How can I possibly associate with such a woman?"
Wang Tuiguan gritted his teeth: "Her footprints came from your house. How do you explain it?"
The second housekeeper repeated like a pig: "That is not my house, that is the house bought by my Prince Jing! It has always been used by my Prince!"
Wang Tuiguan really didn't dare to interrogate him anymore. He took out the stick and shouted angrily: "You are a bold man who still refuses to confess. Come here and torture me!"
The second housekeeper was beaten until he was howling like a wolf, but he still insisted that the matter had nothing to do with him. In the end, Wang Tuiguan did not dare to torture him any more. He was afraid that someone would be killed, so he temporarily detained him and planned to discuss with Guo Jun what to do.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the Ministry of Punishment handed over a statement saying that during the interrogation process, Wang Tuiguan had been instructing the second housekeeper to bite King Jing! The second housekeeper refused to cooperate and was beaten to death by Wang Tuiguan!
Jiajing was furious and issued an order to reprimand Guo Jun and ask him to reply!
Guo Jun was also frightened. He quickly found Wang Tuiguan and criticized him with one sentence: "A donkey kicked your head? How dare you let the second housekeeper bite King Jing?"
Wang Tuiguan was puzzled. After hearing what Guo Jun said, he was so frightened that he shouted that he was wronged. He asked people to show Guo Jun the records of his interrogation, only to find that the records had been torn up by someone unknown!
Knowing that something was wrong, Wang Tuiguan quickly sent someone to the prison to bring the second housekeeper in for interrogation. This was his only witness, and he was the only one who could prove that he did not let him bite him.
Unexpectedly, the second housekeeper insisted that he was the one who asked him to bite King Jing! And the injuries on his body from being tortured are evidence!
Because this matter involves the royal family, it is a secret trial. Except for the two prison officials present in the hall, only the people overseeing the trial from the Ministry of Punishment are present. Wang Tuiguan really couldn't argue this time.
Guo Jun had no choice but to tell Wang Tuiguan to go home quickly and write a reply himself, saying that the matter was difficult to find out. What the consequences will be is unknown. But it’s always good to be prepared in advance.
After all, Guo Jun has a feeling of care for Wang Tuiguan, not only because he is his old subordinate, but also because Wang Tuiguan is taking the blame for him this time.
His move did buy some time for Wang Tuiguan.
The day after Guo Jun wrote a letter of defense, the cabinet issued an order. Wang Tuiguan wasted no time in killing people, framed King Jing, and arrested the whole family for interrogation.
However, the order issued by the cabinet is somewhat vague, and it is not clear which department is to be implemented.
Since the case was jointly handled by the Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Guo Jun's first reaction after receiving the order was to ask An Qingyue to rob the person.
Guo Jun never thought of risking his own life to save Wang Tuiguan. He felt that Wang Tuiguan was probably dead. But if his whole family could be snatched away to Shuntian Mansion, at least he would be able to suffer less, and maybe his family would be protected from being implicated.
Naturally, Liutai did not hesitate. After receiving the order from the cabinet, they immediately asked Zhan Feiyun to rob people. Only then did two groups of policemen rob a family that day.
After listening to Wang Tuiguan's narration, Xiao Feng fell into deep thought.
This case is really unexpected, not that it is unexpectedly complicated, but that it is unexpectedly simple, so simple that people cannot believe it.
If, as Wang Tuiguan and Guo Jun suspected, the woman's death was related to King Jing, how could it be possible that with King Jing's power, he could not even deal with a woman and let her run out and fall into a dry well? How could there be so many clues left for Wang Tuiguan to discover one by one?
Even if King Jing is young and not thoughtful enough, there will naturally be people in his house who are worried about him, and those people are not economical lamps.
If Prince Jing's Mansion is really at this level, then it has really failed Yan Dang's hard work, and they still want to keep him as emperor!
But if it wasn’t King Jing who did it, how could the jade pendant be explained? How to explain the house? How to explain those rumors and the girl's scars?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound at the cell door, and General Bai Qi ran in and shouted: "Master Xiao, there is a decree from the palace, and Master Xiao is ordered to enter the palace to see you!"
Xiao Feng stood up, and Wang Tuiguan grabbed the iron railing with frightened hands and said tremblingly: "Master Xiao, Xiaguan... Xiaguan's family, please leave it to me."
Xiao Feng was silent for a moment. He didn't want to lie to Wang Tuiguan and say that it would be fine. This matter may be more complicated than imagined, and he may not be able to keep Lao Wang.
But there are always some promises that he dares to make. He smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, no matter whether you can come out safely or not, as long as I have a bite to eat, they will not be hungry. As long as I am still alive, they will be fine."
Wang Tuiguan breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he didn't care so much about his own life or death.
What he was afraid of was that his crime was too big. If someone exposed the truth about "selling himself into slavery", would Xiao Feng still take the risk and insist on protecting his family?
Now that Xiao Feng said this, he was relieved.
Looking at Xiao Feng's back as he walked out, he vaguely saw the bearded Xiao Wannian holding a wine bottle. He could save Qiaoniang and Qiaoqiao, who were unrelated to each other. Xiao Feng must also be able to save the mother and daughter from his neighbor's house.
When Xiao Feng walked out, he also felt a little strange: Have he always been so brave and righteous? Or is there another reason?
I was never bullied when I was a student in my previous life, but I didn't seem to have stepped forward to save anyone who was being bullied. Later, when I started a business, although I didn't cheat anyone, shopping malls are like battlefields, and I have no time to sympathize with those who failed. people.
He considers himself a kind person, never begging for facilities and donating money to disaster areas, but facing knife-wielding gangsters, whether he dares to go up and fight, he has not had the opportunity to accept this test.
He felt the flow of blood in his body and the muscles that were more developed than in his previous life. He suddenly felt that it was not only his soul that had traveled through time that was affecting this body, but also the blood and bones in this body. The soul that has traveled through time.
The hard-to-cold blood and the hard bones have been hidden in this nerd's body for more than ten years, but after all, he is Xiao Wannian's son.
Xiao Feng suddenly had more recognition for this cheap dad whom he had never met before. He puffed up his chest, feeling the stubbornness melted in his bones and blood, and his eyes became firmer unknowingly.
In front of Jiajing was kneeling King Jing, with Yan Song standing on one side and Lu Bing and Huang Jin standing on the other side. These are his family and friends, not ordinary courtiers. What he has to deal with can only involve his family and friends.
Even Yan Shifan is not qualified to enter this circle yet. He is King Jing's teacher and Yan Song's son, but he is at best a substitute member.
When Xiao Feng arrived, he felt moved when he saw this lineup. Jiajing asked him to come here to test calligraphy, right?
It would be a bit strange if he was not allowed to test his calligraphy. Did Jiajing really regard himself as a family member or friend?
Jiajing saw Xiao Feng arriving and nodded to him: "Everyone is here. Today I want to ask about King Jing. I may need your Taoist teachings."
Xiao Feng felt relieved. He really didn't want to be regarded as a relative or friend by Jiajing. Carrying such emotions might not be a good thing for him.
As long as Jiajing needs him in cultivating Taoism and governing the country, it is enough. Emotions are the most troublesome.
Unexpectedly, Jiajing's next sentence was to say to King Jing: "The people here today are all the people I trust most, and they are also your uncles. If you are wrong, they will teach you; if you are right, they will help you. You have to tell the truth!"
Xiao Feng secretly sighed, is this the group of relatives and friends Jiajing is planning to leave to the next generation?
Doesn't Jiajing know that he is biased towards King Yu? Maybe he said that on purpose just because he knew?
In this way, if King Jing takes the throne in the future, I would be embarrassed not to help.
Senior brother, senior brother, you are really insidious.
