This situation also frightened Lu Jinsheng and his wife immediately. Lu Jinsheng asked in horror: "Master Sima, what should we do?"

"It's okay, Xiangli has already gone after the murderer. Even if he can't be caught, nothing will happen. You and your wife will go to the wing room to rest for a night. We will go to the county government to report the case tomorrow morning and hand over the case to him." Let Mr. Chen deal with it." Although Sima Yuan said it very easily, the doubts in Lu Jinsheng's heart have not been completely eliminated. Although Hu Er's appearance just now has verified what Sima Yuan said to him before, if he really stands up If you testify against Chen Xuan, you

What will happen in the end, I have no idea in my heart, if because of this reason, I can't take part in the imperial examination in the future, wouldn't I lose my last glimmer of hope.It's about the rest of my life, even if there is a dead person in the house, Lu Jinsheng doesn't care so much anymore, he gritted his teeth and asked: "For tomorrow's matter, can Mr. Sima give a certain guarantee, no matter how it ends? ,if only

I have identified Mr. Chen, so you must ensure that I can continue to take the scientific examination in the next subject. "In fact, Sima Yuan looked down on people like Lu Jinsheng very much, and dragged He Jiaan off the horse for his own self-interest. If he didn't happen to be here this time, He Jiaan might not even know what it would be like to die. Seeing his dislike for Lu Jinsheng, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, there is nothing I, Sima Yuan, can't do that I promised. "

Chapter 599 Preemptive Strike

After a while, Xiangli walked back resentfully alone, shook her head at Sima Yuan, and said shamefully, "I'm sorry, my lord, I couldn't catch up with that person."

Sima Yuan didn't mean to blame Xiangli, after all, he was not familiar with him here, especially in the dark, it's normal to lose someone, as long as the person is fine.

Gently patted Xiangli on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, Sima Yuan said: "That's it for tonight, tomorrow morning we will take Mr. Lu to the Yamen to report the case." Not to mention how Sima Yuan and others rested, waiting When the dawn came, the black shadow that ran away was none other than Deng Zhang, the head catcher sent by Chen Xuan. He followed Hu Er all the time. When Hu Er entered the house, he was lying on the ground in another place.

On the top of the wall, when the candles in the room were lit up shortly after seeing Hu Er entering, he knew that things had changed, and the Lu family had probably already made preparations.Thinking of this, Deng Zhang hurriedly jumped off the wall. At this time, Sima Yuan and Xiangli were all focused on Hu Er, but they didn't notice that there was another person outside. When Deng Zhang boldly came to the bottom of the wall, when, listen to

Sounds from inside the house.

grown ups?Hearing this word, Deng Zhang was also stunned, his mind changed, could this person be a secret investigator sent by the Suzhou government?If this is the case, I am afraid that the adults are really in danger this time, especially now that Hu Er is in their hands again, what if he said something?

If you shouldn't say it, then you will be in big trouble.

While he was thinking about it, Hu Er in the room suddenly started haggling with Sima Yuan. Deng Zhang heard it clearly from outside, and he suddenly realized that if he didn't make a move, this Hu Er would betray the adults.

Thinking of this, Deng Zhang didn't hesitate any longer, he stretched out his hand and took out the dagger in his hand, judged Hu Er's position by the candlelight, and threw the dagger out of his hand at once.

After hearing Hu Er's "ah" in the room, Deng Zhang knew he had succeeded, and then turned around and ran. Naturally, he heard the sound of Xiangli opening the door in his ears, but he didn't even have time to look back, so he hurried along The way you came has gone away.Finally, the pursuers behind him were thrown off by him, and Deng Zhang heaved a long sigh of relief, but he had to report such an important matter to the adults, so Deng Zhang didn't stop along the way and hurried back to the county government office. Chen Xuan

In front of his study, he knocked lightly on the door, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I'm back."

"It's Butou Deng, come in." Chen Xuan's voice in the room said calmly, and then he saw the door was pushed open a crack, and then Deng Zhang came in with the cold wind.

When Chen Xuan saw the expression on Deng Zhang's face, his heart skipped a beat, and he calmed down secretly. Chen Xuan asked in a low voice, "Why, could it be that Hu Er's affairs were not handled well?"

Deng Zhang shook his head, and said with a look of embarrassment: "It's not done well, the key is that Hu Er was caught by others."

"What did you say?" Now it was Chen Xuan's turn to be dumbfounded. Didn't he hear it wrong? Hu Er was actually caught by someone. Whoever is so powerful can catch Hu Er? Maybe, who would it be?Chen Xuan's doubts didn't last long. Deng Zhang taught Chen Xuan the news he had just heard at Lu's house. When he heard someone calling another person an adult, Chen Xuan Eyes suddenly filled with surprise

, where did this grown-up come from?You don't come here to check yourself, do you?

Thinking of someone sneaking up to Qingjiang Pu to check him, Chen Xuan felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, walking back and forth in the study, suddenly stopped, and asked seriously: "Then Hu Er is still in the other party's hands now?" ?”

Deng Zhang shook his head and said, "It's in their hands, but..."

"But what?" Chen Xuan was a little anxious, for fear that Hu Er had said something that he shouldn't have said at this time, wouldn't this be handing over his handle to others.

The corners of Deng Zhang's mouth suddenly curled up, and there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, and he said softly: "But he can't talk anymore." Chen Xuan understood the hidden meaning in this sentence, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. , a dead Hu Er is more beneficial to him than a living Hu Er, no matter what this lord is here for, as long as Hu Er dies,

I can completely disregard the relationship between myself and him.However, there is another thing that Chen Xuan is worried about. Since this adult has been staying at the Lu family, it is clear that he is more interested in the case of He Jiaan. case turned over

.I have spent so much effort to get He Jiaan in, how can I let him slip away so easily, after thinking for a while, Chen Xuan finally made up his mind, it seems that he has to act first, as long as where to blame

It's not so easy to turn it over if you put it on your head.

After making up his mind, Chen Xuan ordered: "Captain Deng, bring He Jia'an out of the jail tomorrow morning, and the sooner he can be brought to court, the better. This time, we must settle the case. "Such a large fraud case, from searching for witnesses and evidence, to interrogation, and to settle the case, how could it be possible to figure it out in only one day, but when Deng Zhang saw the anxiety in Chen Xuan's eyes, he realized that Arrived today

What happened has already touched Chen Xuan's bottom line. If the case is not closed, maybe the case will be reversed, and the one being tried may become Mr. Chen Xuan.Deng Zhang himself didn't want such a situation to happen. After all, he had already bet heavily on Chen Xuan. Once Chen Xuan stepped down, his fate would not be much better. Therefore, he had to help Chen Xuan out of reason. declare this matter

Get it done.

Thinking of this, Deng Zhang nodded, and said in a low voice: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will take care of this matter tomorrow morning, and I will definitely not let idlers disturb you."

Chen Xuan nodded. It seems that Deng Zhang is more useful at critical times. If he hadn't been quick to get rid of Hu Er today, I'm afraid he would really be in trouble this time.Ever since he showed his hand in the prison, He Jiaan's status in the prison has risen sharply. The people in the same cell with him have already guessed that this man must not be an ordinary mortal, and now even the position of the boss has been given to He Jiaan , but the He family

An, on the other hand, looked indifferent, her eyes were always staring at the transom, as if she saw something interesting.Before dawn, He Jiaan woke up, sat in his seat as usual and looked at the whiteness outside the transom window, and thought of his relatives at home again, and didn't know how they were doing now, so Chen Xuanyou No one was sent to find them.

Chapter 600 Irrefutable

He Jia'an could have guessed that Chen Xuan would interrogate himself, but he didn't expect that this day would come so fast and so early.Just after drinking a bowl of soup that was euphemistically called porridge, there was a burst of noisy footsteps in the corridor of the prison, and it didn't take long for the footsteps to stop in front of his own prison door, and then he heard Deng Zhang say viciously: : "He Jiaan, come out, it's your turn

You are in court. "Such a piercing voice immediately disrupted the only tranquility in my heart. He Jiaan's eyes slowly shifted from the transom to the outside of the prison. Looking at Deng Zhang with a fierce face, he smiled contemptuously, and then slowly stood up. ,tidy

After checking the gown on his body, he came to the door, not afraid of Deng Zhang's fierce appearance, and said mockingly: "Why, why didn't Chen Xuan dare to come to see me?" You, don't be naughty, go quickly." Deng Zhang wanted to give He Jia'an a slap in the face, and grabbed his collar as soon as he reached out, but when he saw that he was about to win, his wrist

But he was caught by someone suddenly, and before Deng Zhang could react what was going on, a strong force suddenly came, and he turned his wrist, and was immediately bent down.

Feeling that the arm was gradually twisted, Deng Zhang was terrified. Although he didn't know when He Jiaan became so powerful, but if this continues, is he going to destroy himself?

At this time, he couldn't care about the matter of losing face, Deng Zhang hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mr. He, be gentle, let go."

He Jiaan grabbed Deng Zhang's shoulders with both hands, maintained a stable posture, and snorted softly in his nose, "Why, don't you want to teach me a lesson, come on." "No, no." How can he not bow his head, if his arm is crippled, then his life will be over, Deng Zhang hurriedly begged for mercy: "Just now I just said it casually, Mr. He has a lot of adults, don't worry about the small and medium-sized ones.

General knowledge. "

"Hmph." It's enough to teach Deng Zhang a lesson. After all, he has nothing to do with him. He Jiaan finally let go of his hand, and said coldly, "Lead the way."

What do you call this.He is a majestic headhunter in a county, and he came to bring the prisoner to the court, but he had to walk in front, as if he was clearing the way for others. Deng Zhang felt that this was a shame, but he had nothing to do with He Jiaan behind him, so now he asked someone to beat him. Come on,

But he will be in court soon, it is best for the adults to torture him, then he can report the shame he just suffered.Having made up his mind, he led He Jia'an to the lobby. At this time, Chen Xuan was already sitting in the middle of the hall in an official robe, with a dozen or so government officials in soap clothes lined up on both sides. After seeing He Jiaan coming in

, let out a low voice of 'mighty' from the mouth together, inexplicably giving people a feeling of depression.

When the sound stopped, Chen Xuan, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly clapped the gavel in his hands, and then shouted loudly: "Who is standing in the hall, please tell me your name."

This is really not too tiring, but he still has to ask his own name. He Jiaan, who has been pushed into the crowd, does not change his face, and replies coldly: "I am He Jiaan."

"He Jia'an, I want to ask you, a few days ago in the imperial examination room, you said that you didn't write your test papers, and all the papers you wrote were blank papers. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." He Jiaan nodded. "Nonsense." Chen Xuan patted the gavel again, pointed at He Jiaan and said angrily, "Your He Jiaan's name is clearly written on that paper, how dare you say that it wasn't written by you? Give the county an account, beware

Serious punishment. "

After all, don't you just want to confess yourself?

He Jiaan knew in his heart that even if he admitted that he wrote those papers, Chen Xuan would have other reasons to ask him later, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and refuse to admit it, so that there might be a glimmer of life.Shaking his head slowly, He Jia'an sneered and said, "My lord wants to ask me, and I still want to ask my lord, why is the paper I put on the table changed? If this kind of thing really happens, first of all Doubt should not be the examination room

Is it the yamen servant in the village?My lord, why don't you call the yamen servants from that day to ask about it. "

This...Chen Xuan didn't expect that He Jia'an was so eloquent that he couldn't continue, so he hesitated for a while, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you wait." all called

, stand in a line in the lobby.He Jiaan looked at it twice from left to right, and then from right to left, but he didn't find the person who made things difficult for him that day. He knew better in his heart, and turned his head to look at Chen Xuandao: "Did Mr. Chen deceive me that I have a bad memory? The servant who searched me

Not here at all. "He is not here, and he is already dead. At the end of his excuses, Chen Xuan suddenly slapped the gavel and roared angrily: "He Jiaan, I have already found the person you want , but you again and again disturb

Chaos in the courtroom, what should I do? Someone, tie up this lunatic for me, drag him out and beat him with ten boards. "The yamen servant on the side had already prepared, and immediately held He Jiaan's arms, and tried to take He Jiaan off as soon as he exerted his arms. The expression on Xuan's face was stunned for a moment.

There was a sudden slap in the face, could it be that he was a step slower?At this time, he couldn't care less about beating He Jia'an anymore. Chen Xuan hurriedly said: "Today, He Jia'an, a scholar from Jiangpu in Qing Dynasty, is so bold that he cheated in the imperial examination. The evidence is clear. The sentence is as follows: frontier exile
