Sun Ping seemed to be very calm. He smiled at Zhang Ren and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, I still want to trouble you with something. After I die, please bury me in the forest ten miles west of the city. The tombs of my wife and children will be there." There, please.”
Zhang Ren nodded and agreed, but he shook his head again and said: "Although you killed someone, I still feel that the fault is not entirely yours. Neither Yingtian Mansion nor Pingliang Hou Mansion can escape the blame. I will try my best to protect them." Your life."
Sun Ping did not answer, but still smiled calmly.
When everything was over, when Zhang Ren opened the door of Marquis Pingliang's room, he saw thirty or forty Jinyi guards standing neatly outside the courtyard.
Gao Haiyong waved casually, and these Jinyi guards immediately escorted Sun Ping out.
Zhang Ren turned his head and looked at Gao Haiyong and asked, "Are they all your people? Have you arranged for these people long ago?"
Gao Haiyong nodded, "Didn't I tell you that every corner of the Pingliang Marquis Mansion has been taken over by our Jin Yiwei? We descended from the roof and made such a big noise, and they naturally came over."
"So, even if I didn't guess that Sun Ping was the murderer, as long as he continues to commit crimes, he will be caught?" Zhang Ren continued to ask.
Gao Haiyong continued to nod.
Zhang Ren was somewhat puzzled, "Isn't this using other people's lives to catch suspects? What if I hadn't guessed that Sun Ping was the murderer? Then the Marquis of Pingliang would be really disappointed!"
Gao Haiyong was never willing to explain too much, but today Zhang Ren could guess the suspect and clear Fu Rang's suspicion in the case, which was enough to prove his ability, so Gao Haiyong decided to talk to this young man more. Sentence, "I am Qian Hu, a member of the Jinyi Guards. The task given to me by the governor is to investigate the case of Mrs. Pinglianghou and dig out the murderer. As for whether Pinglianghou is dead or not, I actually don't care much. Besides, he has done many evil things and is dead. That’s fine.”
Zhang Ren asked again: "If Sun Ping doesn't take action today, what will thousands of households plan to do with this case?"
Gao Haiyong said: "Just think of a way to close the case. There are so many people in Pinglianghou's mansion, and there can always be a few suspects. The housekeeper in Pinglianghou's house is a good choice. All the illegal things in Pinglianghou are done by the housekeeper. Handmade."
This somewhat undermines the world's outlook. In Zhang Ren's opinion, no matter what crime the suspect has committed, he must be tried and follow the procedures. Only the law can determine a person's life or death, and it is even worse to arrest people randomly and treat them as criminals. Not advisable.
But now that we have traveled to the Ming Dynasty, the people here seem to have lost the most basic respect for life and the most basic understanding of the law, and everything seems so indifferent.
Only then did Zhang Ren understand that no wonder the nobles of the Ming Dynasty were all afraid of the Jin Yiwei. It was not because the Jin Yiwei had great martial arts skills, nor because the Jin Yiwei had the support of the emperor, but because the Jin Yiwei was now above the law and had the right to decide the life and death of others. .
This may seem majestic, but it is also full of hidden dangers. Zhang Ren knows that if things continue like this, Jin Yiwei will surely face public anger, and under the stormy waves, there is a danger of capsizing at any time.
"Will Sun Ping die soon?" Zhang Ren asked cautiously.
Gao Haiyong did not answer directly, "This case is now very clear, and Sun Ping himself has pleaded guilty. Your boy seems to care about Sun Ping? You don't really want to protect him, do you?"
Talking about life, Zhang Ren felt a little depressed, "Gao Qianhu, there are still many things that have not been clarified in this case. For example, where did Sun Ping's magnifying glass come from? He overturned the entire Pingliang Hou Mansion and used There must be a lot of Mongolian sweat medicine, and where do these Mongolian sweat medicines come from? Yingtian is the capital master, so this matter may not be simple. "
Gao Haiyong said: "Of course some people will investigate these matters, but they will not affect Sun Ping's life and death."
Zhang Ren lowered his head, but he was making a final struggle: "After all, it is a life, this kind of thing cannot be trivial, and our Jinyiwei is so indifferent to life, there is no guarantee that we will not become the target of public criticism in the future. Only if we can truly uphold justice can we gain something." More people’s hearts…”
Before Zhang Ren finished speaking, Gao Haiyong had already stepped out and walked out. The Jin Yiwei was just a knife in His Majesty's hand. It was not His Majesty who had the final say when to kill people and how many people to kill. If he really wanted to win people's hearts, then This is the real way to die. Gao Haiyong could have told Zhang Ren these words, but he didn't want to say them because he didn't want to extinguish the enthusiasm and justice in Zhang Ren's heart.
When he reached the door of Pingliang Houfu, Gao Haiyong stopped. He looked back at Zhang Ren and said: "Jin Yiwei seems to be feared by everyone, but in fact, he is also walking on the cusp of the storm. There are too many things that he can't help but do. , The water in Yingtian Mansion is deep and muddy, and you may be able to achieve the justice that I cannot do, but you must remember, do everything within your ability, and the first thing you must save is your own life."
After saying that, Gao Haiyong walked out of Pingliang Hou Mansion without looking back.
Everyone in the Pingliang Marquis Mansion continued to fall asleep under the influence of the Mongolian sweat medicine. Everything was so quiet, as if nothing had ever happened.
When Zhang Ren walked out of the Pingliang Hou Mansion, the east had already turned white.
Sun Ping was escorted to Fusi Prison in Jinyiwei Town.
Zhang Ren raised his head and looked at the sky. It was so clear. The sun was rising in the east, but there were still a few stars hanging in the west. I originally thought it was either black or white, but today I realized that black and white can still coexist.
Just like Sun Ping, he was originally a soldier who defended his family and country, but things were changing, and he killed people out of helplessness and resentment.
A crime is a crime, and this cannot be washed away. But from a rational point of view, Zhang Ren felt that Sun Ping was right. If Mrs. Pinglianghou had not occupied his family's fertile land and killed his wife and children, Sun Ping would never have embarked on the path of murder. Or if the assistant officer of Yingtian Mansion had taken over the case and Pinglianghou's family had received the punishment they deserved, then Subsequent misfortunes will not happen...
It's a mess, but that's all. There is no turning back on the path we have taken.
Zhang Ren was thinking a lot as he walked back to his mansion along the road.
I haven't been back all day and night. I need to have a good rest and tell my uncle that I'm safe.
But just after he entered the mansion, he bumped into Brother Fu.
Brother Fu's name is Zhang Fu, and he is Zhang Yu's only son. Although Zhang Ren came through time travel, the journey from Mobei to Daming was considered to be a journey of life and death. Zhang Yu and his son also risked their lives several times to save his life. Gradually, Zhang Ren recognized it in his heart. This so-called family.
"Brother Ren, you're back. You've only been away for a day and a night, but you've made people worried. My father has been waiting for you in the study. Go and make sure you're safe." Zhang Fu said with concern.
Zhang Ren smiled and nodded. He was a rootless duckweed in the Ming Dynasty, so it was good to have a feeling of home. Although he couldn't tell them about the time travel, this place had become his home.
When the two of them arrived in the study, before they spoke, Zhang Yu quickly stepped forward, looked at Zhang Ren with concern, and then said, "Look at your haggard appearance, you haven't slept all night, okay?"
Zhang Ren nodded, "Uncle, don't worry. I'm young. I look haggard now. I'll be fine after a little sleep."
Zhang Yu patted Zhang Ren on the shoulder, "I'll go back to Jinyiwei and have a good talk with Mr. Jiang. You are just a child. How can you solve any cases? I don't know what Mr. Jiang thinks about letting you follow him." , the outside world is rumored to be a murderous ghost, asking you to get involved, if something happens to you, how can I explain to your dead parents?"
Zhang Ren grinned, and the time to show off finally came, "It's all nonsense about a fierce ghost asking for his life. It's just a small case. This case has been solved by me."
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, had an expression of disbelief. The rumor was spreading all over the street. Just listening to it made people think that this murder case was definitely not simple. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the government's criminal department and the Jin Yiwei to investigate it at the same time.
"You said the case of Li Gui's murder has been solved?"
Zhang Ren nodded.
Zhang Yu continued to ask: "Did you solve this case?"
Zhang Ren nodded again.
After a long time, Zhang Yu patted Zhang Ren on the shoulder, but instead of the surprise that Zhang Ren was thinking about, his face looked relieved.
Just listen to Zhang Yu say: "You have always been dull in the past. At that time, my uncle thought, it would be great if you could be carefree all your life. Our family is not a wealthy family, but we will not make you suffer. Our family From Mobei to Yingtian, you have experienced many lives and deaths along the way, and you even injured your head. Who would have thought that you would be a blessing in disguise. Although you often talk nonsense, your brain is really much more flexible. This is probably because of the blessing of your parents in heaven. Well, now that you are extremely smart, you will be able to find an official position even if you don't have it in the future, what are your plans for the future?"
Intend? Zhang Ren had already thought about it when he first traveled through time. He didn't study history well at that time. He only knew that after Zhu Yuanzhang died, Zhu Yunwen became emperor, and then Zhu Yunwen was ousted from the throne by Zhu Di within two years. Although he didn't know the specific process. It's clear, but being a historical speculator is enough. As long as you make good friends with Zhu Di, develop in a low-key manner, and give Zhu Di more help at critical times, then won't you be able to win the title of marquis and prime minister in the future? When the time comes, I will practice martial arts again and go to the rivers and lakes to have a good time. Think about it, being a high-ranking official in the court, being well-paid, respected by everyone in the world, and then marrying several wives, that life is not very exciting!
Of course, with the occurrence of the Li Gui murder case, Zhang Ren's concept has changed somewhat. Once time travels, it is necessary for high-ranking officials to be well-paid, heroic and righteous, and then they must change this era within their abilities and not seek equality for everyone. Well, let’s make this era relatively equal.
Zhang Ren's eyes were firm and he said to Zhang Yu: "Uncle, I will help the world in the future!"
Zhang Yu didn't expect his nephew to have such great ambitions. He nodded, patted Zhang Ren's shoulder again, and said: "Okay, you are ambitious! You are indeed a good man of my Zhang family! But Ren'er, you have to remember, The road ahead is long and full of thorns, so remember to develop in a low-key manner before your wishes come true!"
