Chapter 131: I got my wish [Please vote! 】
Inside the Zhuxie Division.
Wei Kangnian and Zhou Xuanci were arranged in two attics not far away for interrogation separately.
It is said to be an interrogation, but in fact there is not much "interrogation" part, it is mainly "questioning". The two murderers were very cooperative in explaining how they committed the crime.
Zhuxie Division mainly listens to the confessions of the two murderers to see which one is more credible - the one who is more credible is the murderer.
Although this may sound a bit strange, this is the situation.
Both of them insisted that they killed Princess Fuyang.
Wei Kangnian has already heard about it before, and Liang Yue is now with Monk Xuanci.
"Zen Master Xuanci, tell me why you killed Princess Fuyang." He began to talk.
“Can you tell me in detail?” Zhou Xuanci asked.
"You can try to be as detailed as possible." Xie Wenxi nodded.
He knew that Liang Yue was good at investigating cases, but he didn't expect it to be so efficient.
If one person commits a crime, he can catch two murderers in one day.
Zhou Xuanci did not hesitate and began to tell: "I am from the direct line of the Zhou family, one of the three major families in Qingdu. My mother is from the Wei family and often takes me back to my parents' home. I got to know her in the Wei family. Two very good playmates, one is Wei Shili, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, and the other is the child of the servant at home, Wei Kangnian. "Wei Kangnian said that his mother was expelled from the Wei family?" Liang Yue asked. questioned.
"The situation in his family is more complicated. His mother was originally the eldest daughter of the eldest family. She was expelled from the Wei family because she insisted on marrying a city garrison with a low family name. At first, everything was okay, but after a few years, his father Due to an accidental disability, his mother suddenly had to support the family. The Wei family did not allow other shops in the city to hire her, so she could not work to make a living. She could only return to the Wei family to work as a servant, hoping to use this humiliation to force her to divorce her husband. , admit the mistake to the family.”
Zhou Xuanci is quite familiar with Wei Kangnian’s situation, and it can be seen from this that they are indeed close friends.
"But his mother refused to abandon her lover no matter what, and had been silently enduring it in the Wei family, supporting her husband and children. It was also during that time that Wei Kangnian followed his mother to the backyard of the Wei Mansion, and they also got to know each other. "We."
"In those few years, we would stand up for him when he was bullied, and they would help me with my homework. Until later, I fell seriously ill, and I almost couldn't save it even after searching for famous doctors. Come back. It was my master who passed by Qingdu City and rescued me. He said that I was born with poor fortune and a weak life. If I wanted to survive, I would have to follow him and convert to Buddhism and no longer enjoy my life. There is only one meter of water in the Zhou family."
"I left Qingdu City and went to Mianbi Temple with my master to practice. I went home several times and looked at Wei Shili and Wei Kangnian from a distance. I heard that the two of them had their own experiences and never met again.”
"After that, a while ago, I followed my master's order and came to Songjian Temple to practice."
Zhou Xuanci sat there and spoke very calmly, with a calm tone and no fluctuation, as if he was talking about other people's affairs. .
His confused state of mind seemed to calm down suddenly.
It seems that the reason why he lost his mind before was because Wei Kangnian confessed for him, not because of anything else. At this time, I confessed calmly and regained my normal mind.
“I met people from the Zhou family here at that time. After a long conversation, I learned about Mi Luoxiang and a plan of the Zhou family.”
"The three major aristocratic families are not monolithic when it comes to selling Miluo Xiang. The family of Prince Consort Zhang Ji has good relations with the Qi family. The channel for selling Miluo Xiang in Nanzhou is mainly opened up by the Qi family, and the income has also made the Qi family very profitable. , The Qi family did not want to stop, but the Zhou family and the Wei family did not benefit, and people in the family died, so they wanted to ban it."
"The Qi family passed on information and Princess Fuyang bribed the operation. This matter never received the emperor's attention. The two families wanted to solve the problem themselves. They wanted to kill Princess Fuyang directly from the source. Genealogy and so on."
"But I know that the two families will never keep their word. Wei Kangnian will only be regarded as an abandoned son, and the court will throw him out after a strict investigation." Zhou Xuanci said firmly.
Liang Yue nodded, of course he knew.
If nothing unexpected happened to that group of killers, they should have been sent by the Nanzhou nobles to silence them.
"I think Wei Kangnian may also know that his father died in Miluoxiang. He should have wanted to assassinate the princess, which is why he and the two families hit it off. When I learned about this plan, I went to stop him, but he wanted to "Decided."
"In order to stop him, I thought of a way." Zhou Xuanci added: "I think if I find Princess Fuyang in advance and kill her, the goals of the two families can be achieved. Wei Kangnian." There is no need to take risks. Unlike him, the Zhou family will not betray me, but... there was an accident in the middle of the plan. "Me?" Liang Yue said with a smile.
"Not bad." Zhou Xuanci nodded and said: "I had expected that there would be someone else in the bedroom. I thought that it would be enough to knock him out. I didn't expect that you, as a party involved, could still pursue the case and rule it out quickly. Zhang Ji has targeted us again. I think Wei Kangnian was afraid that if you continued, he would really find me out, so he was eager to stand up and take the blame. "
In fact, he was right. That's right.
Before Wei Kangnian jumped out, Liang Yue's biggest suspect had indeed pointed to Zhou Xuanci.
"By the way." Zhou Xuanci added, "When I attacked you, it was not because I was not familiar with the practice of thunder in the palm, so it was not powerful enough. The young monk has practiced for more than ten years, and a thunder in the palm is not that difficult. Yes. Because I feel in my heart that you are innocent. When you attack innocent people, your compassion will be weakened, and your Buddhist cultivation level will be reduced."
The cultivation level of the Qi Refiner is very mysterious.
When you are good, you can make great progress, and when you are bad, you can fall down. That's why the state of mind of a Qi practitioner is extremely important.
Confucian aura, Taoist care, and Buddhist compassion.
One of the characteristics of compassion is that it is thunderous when it attacks evildoers; it is weak and powerless when it attacks innocent people.
The only exception is the Solipsistic True Zen created by Li Longchan after he fell into the realm.
Killing good people is also neat and tidy, and his thoughts are always clear.
In a sense, Li Longchan is also a well-deserved genius.
……
Walking down from Zhou Xuanci's attic, Liang Yue came to Wei Kangnian's room.
His face was calm, with a hint of helplessness, "Have you found Zhou Xuanci?"
"Yes." Liang Yue nodded, "He has admitted everything, and it was indeed him who did it. "
Wei Kangnian smiled bitterly, "Just with a palm thunder?" Just now, he had been explained and knew where he was completely exposed.
"You are indeed unlucky." Liang Yue said.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that person to be you, otherwise I wouldn't be smart about anything." He sighed.
"You still have to take the imperial examination, and your mother is waiting for you at home. Taking the blame for others is not what you should do." Xie Wenxi advised.
"Hey." Wei Kangnian smiled again, "He has been like this since he was a child. He feels that he can cover me in everything and can handle anything. I obviously took over this matter, and he insisted on taking care of it for me. The thing is done, the fault should be mine, so what does it matter if I take it once?"
Liang Yue was a little surprised to see the two of them like this, and asked: "You are really just friends since childhood? , haven’t seen each other for many years?”
"About seven or eight years." Wei Kangnian recalled, "During that time, there were a lot of changes in my family, and I was young, so I would only cry secretly alone. Fortunately, I met two new friends, who were able to support me to survive. Although we separated later It's been a long time, but when we meet again, everyone is still the same."
"Friends." He said leisurely with eyes shining: "How many people can be like-minded in this life? They will be the same for ten years. It’s just a matter of meeting and laughing.”
When he spoke, he spoke with a sense of sadness, as if he was thinking of the children who broke branches to make swords, copied books and raced horses together in the backyard of the Wei family; and he seemed to be thinking of the past few years. I feel infinite regret for each other's growing up years.
The look on his face when he mentioned his friend reminded Liang Yue of Dachun.
It is true that there are only a few close friends in life who are not worried that the other person will change even if they have not seen each other for ten years.
"So I still hope that he will be treated as if he did not appear in this matter and that I am the real culprit." Wei Kangnian said: "Everything should be like this. They sell Milo incense and should be killed. I will Father takes revenge, is generous and indignant, and is not afraid of life and death." "Alas." Xie Wenxi sighed.
Obviously they are two young people with amazing talents, but they have to break up one after another. It is really uncomfortable to witness it with your own eyes.
After walking out of the attic, he turned around and said: "Fortunately, the case has finally been investigated, and you are safe."
"But I can't be happy either." Liang Yue He shook his head and said: "Princess Fuyang and the consort Zhang Ji sold Miluo incense in Nanzhou, made a lot of money, and harmed countless people. The people of Nanzhou had no way to appeal, so they killed them in anger. Is it wrong?"
Xie Wenxi remained silent.
Liang Yue's doubts made him dare not say anything.
When bad people do evil, your court laws are invisible; now good people kill evil people, your court laws jump out to punish good people.
Then who are you protecting with this law?
“Don’t think too much.” Xie Wenxi said, “Let Mr. Chen make the decision.”
He has been in the court for many years and has naturally seen more things than Liang Yue.
There are many things that cannot be thought about in detail.
The two handed the case file to Chen Su. Chen Su hadn't arrived yet, so they waited for a while.
Not long after, Chen Su came back and said as soon as he entered the room: "The batch of killers we caught were identified. They were all desperadoes near the capital city and were paid to kill people. The leader was the Qing Dynasty. The dead men of the Zhou family in the capital are very strict, so I asked them personally. What's the progress on your side?"
Liang Yue presented the file.
Seeing the final result of Princess Fuyang's case, Chen Su was immediately overjoyed. But after seeing the faces of the two of them, he felt a little strange, "Why are you all so depressed?"
"Mr. Chen, let's take a look first." Xie Wenxi said.
Chen Su looked at the file and understood why the two of them were not happy.
"What they said can be corroborated with the information we have obtained. There should be no falsehood." Xie Wenxi said: "Zhou Xuanci and Wei Kangnian are indeed two excellent young people."
"That's it." Chen Su looked at the file in his hand again, and suddenly flipped through it, and the two files disappeared out of thin air like magic.
He leaned back and spread his hands slightly.
"The Prince Consort Zhang Ji has been cooperating with Princess Fuyang to sell Miluo Incense, causing harm to Nanzhou and committing a heinous crime. Princess Fuyang wants to sell Milo Incense to Longyuan City, and Zhang Ji is afraid that the matter will be exposed. Implicating himself, he became murderous."
"These are all the truth, right?" Chen Su asked, "How about..."
"Let's let him. Get your wish?”
……
In the palace of the Northern God General.
At this time, Liang Yue's best friend Dachun was holding his arms in front of a stone table, staring with a pair of bull's eyes... feeling energetic.
Opposite him was the god general Qi Lianghai in a training robe, with the same shoulders as broad as a wall and a body like a tower.
“What are you doing, kid?” Qi Lianghai looked at Dachun up and down and asked with a bad expression.
"I'm angry!" Da Chun replied angrily.
Qi Lianghai asked: "Why are you angry?"
Pang Chun puffed up his chest and asked: "Why don't you let me eat?"
Qi Lianghai also glared, "Let you practice riding Shoot, you made the horse tired and vomited. Except for Lao Yang’s butt, you didn’t hit any of the arrows. How dare you eat?”
Good morning.
