Li Qinzai was beaten to death, but he didn't expect that in just one day, a shocking giant eucalyptus would happen outside.
Thirty-two families were wiped out, which in this day and age absolutely shocked the government and the public.
In today's Tang Dynasty, not all officials are clean, but the common people are clear and simple. It is not an exaggeration to say that they do not close their doors at night and do not pick up things on the road.
It is said that the current crime rate in the Tang Dynasty is extremely low. The number of death row prisoners in the prisons of the Ministry of Punishment ranges from more than ten to several people every year. For such a large country, it is simply unimaginable.
】
This massacre of thirty-two families was already the most severe punishment since Li Zhi came to the throne. You can imagine how furious Li Zhi was.
The only suspect in this crime turned out to be Wu Minzhi, who was currently being held in the dormitory of the school.
Li Qinzai was under great psychological pressure at this time, and cold sweat even broke out on his forehead.
Intuitively speaking, Li Qinzai believes that Wu Minzhi kidnapped the warlock is true, but it is a bit unbelievable to kill all the people. Although Wu Minzhi behaved like a madman, his madness was only a joke when he really encountered a serious situation. Instead, he would handle things very calmly.
So, to have sex or not to have sex?
Standing in front of the officials and guards, Li Qinzai's face remained normal, but his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Wu Minzhi's life and death is in his hands at this moment. If a person enters Dali Temple, don't say anything. Whether it is true or false, there will definitely be a confession. Even crazy criticism cannot withstand torture.
Accompanying the Prime Minister of Dali Temple was the Censor of Xitai. This shows how much Dali Temple attaches great importance to this matter, and the Censor must monitor it.
After a long time, Li Qinzai gritted his teeth.
Whether Wu Minzhi is the murderer or not, he doesn't want to see other people's evidence or hear what others say.
Believe in yourself is the way to go.
"Wu Minzhi, to tell you the truth, Wu Minzhi and I drank together last night and both of us got drunk. Later, Wu Minzhi ran out of Zhuangzi after getting drunk and has not come back until now."
"I don't know anything about what he did outside. Besides, if the murderer is really Wu Minzhi, isn't it ridiculous for you to come to my village to pick him up?"
"Have you ever seen a suspect who, after committing a crime, ran back to Zhuangzi and waited to be questioned? It's better to hide in a ravine than to go back to Zhuangzi."
It has to be said that although Li Qinzai's words are fallacious, they cannot be refuted at the moment.
The Prime Minister of Dali Temple hesitated, pondered for a long time, and said carefully: "Marquis Li County, this official knows that Wu Minzhi is your disciple. Normally, this official should not doubt your words, but the situation is serious and I have to be cautious. If I dare to do anything, Let me ask you, is Wu Minzhi really not in your village?"
Li Qinzai said with a half-smile: "If you don't believe it, you can order a search of the village. The inside and outside of my village, including the courtyard of my house, are open for you to search, and there will be no obstruction."
Of course Si Cheng wanted to search. He was dubious about Li Qinzai's words. If it were anyone else, there would be no need to be so verbose and he would just order Zhuangzi to be turned upside down.
But the county prince in front of him is really not easy to mess with. He has already been taught a lesson just now, and the lesson is still painful to him even now.
The Marquis of Li County spoke generously, but he still heard the underlying meaning.
The implication is that you'd better search out Wu Minzhi today. If you can't find him, you will end up in another way.
A mere petty official dared to search the mansion and estate of the current County Marquis, and even the Dali Temple Minister came to apologize in person. For now, they should forget about their official career and wait for Li Xianhou's revenge.
Cold sweat broke out on Dali Si Cheng's forehead.
In the face of sophistication and power, the truth of the love affair and the murderer seem not to be so important anymore.
After a long time, Si Cheng gritted his teeth, put on a smile and said: "The Marquis of Li County has betrayed the official, and even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to search your village. Since the Marquis of Li County said that Wu Minzhi is not here, Then he is definitely not here, I have 10,000 trust in you."
"In that case, I will not disturb Marquis Li County anymore, and will return to Chang'an to resume my duties. If you know the whereabouts of Wu Minzhi, please send someone to inform Dali Temple."
Li Qinzai nodded happily: "Okay, don't worry. I have always abided by the law, been honest, and sworn in with crime. If Wu Minzhi falls into my hands, he will be tied up and sent to Dali Temple to claim credit."
The officials and guards smiled wryly, saluted, and left silently.
Li Qinzai stood in front of the mansion for a long time without moving, and then sighed leisurely after a while.
This matter is getting bigger and bigger. Wu Minzhi better have a reasonable explanation, otherwise he will really send this guy to Dali Temple.
Turning around and seeing Liu Asi standing behind him, Li Qinzai asked nonchalantly: "Is Wu Minzhi still in the school?"
"Yes, the brothers are guarding the door."
"Let's go and visit this guy. I wish him happiness every year and happiness every year."
…………
Wu Minzhi completely lay flat.
When Li Qinzai entered the room, he didn't even move. He lay sprawled on the ground, like a pancake on an iron plate.
Of course Li Qinzai would not be polite to him, so he kicked him over as soon as he entered the door.
Wu Minzhi screamed in pain and had to sit up.
Li Qinzai also sat down, turned his head and shouted outside: "Come in, a strong and strong man."
A tall and muscular man walked into the room proudly.
Li Qinzai raised his chin and said, "Press his arm, grab his hand, and I'll ask you questions. Wu Minzhi, if you tell me a lie today, I'll break off one of your fingers. Isn't that too much?" "
Wu Minyi was stunned, and then shouted: "Of course it's too much! What did I do wrong?"
The strong man had pressed his arm firmly on the low table, grabbed one of his fingers, and stared at Li Qinzai unblinkingly, waiting for Li Qinzai's order.
Li Qinzai stared into Wu Minzhi's eyes and said slowly: "I heard that you did a big thing last night and kidnapped a warlock from Lantian County. Why didn't I know that you had such a specialty?"
Wu Minzhi was stunned, and then smiled: "That's it? Taking someone captive is nothing. Besides, that person is not a good person, so killing him is not an exaggeration."
Li Qinzai also laughed: "Abducting people is certainly not a big deal. I didn't even bother to ask, but... just an hour after you kidnapped the warlock named Du, a group of black-clothed and masked men rushed into his house. Kill all thirty-two of his family members, and don’t tell me you don’t know.”
Wu Minzhi trembled all over, and looked at Li Qinzai in great shock. He was stunned for a long time, and Wu Minzhi said in a trembling voice: "Sir, please don't make trouble, this is not a joke."
Li Qinzai sneered: "I'm full and full, am I kidding you about the eucalyptus?"
Wu Minzhi's face gradually turned pale: "Did Du Yuanji's whole family be killed?"
Li Qinzai nodded: "No one was left alive, all were killed. And you are the only suspect who has been publicly exposed. The case has been reported to Dali Temple. Wu Minzhi, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to be kind." ”
