Qin Mo, as a high-ranking official of the court, probably went to see the case.

But for some reason, Lu Tang still felt a little disappointed.

Maybe I think it would be more at ease to have such a high-ranking official accompanying you?

Even though it was already night, there were still crowds of people in front of the government office.

The people who had withdrawn from the Flower Boat Club were still covered in excitement. They didn't look down on the Flower Boat Club and spread all their energy on this case.

What's more, the victim of the case is the son of a wealthy local businessman.

What a big melon!

In the court, the torches are clear.

The prefect sat high under the mirror and looked at Lu Tang with a majestic look on his face, "Who is in the hall?"

Lu Tang knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and replied, "Caomin Lu Tang, a native of Qingshui County."

"According to witnesses' confession, Du Xuan fell into the water tonight, you were the first to jump down. What do you say about this?"

Lu Tang:...

"I'm afraid he will drown."

"But you don't know the one who fell into the water."

"Sir, I will go to save a dog if I leave you. I will do it without hesitation."

"Do you know Xie Yu?"

As soon as the prefect mentioned Xie Yu's name, the crowd outside suddenly burst into heated discussions.

Xie Yu is indeed a special existence in Yuhang.

There are so many discussions about him.

Lu Tang didn't understand why this was touched by Xie Yu again, so he had to tell the truth: "I know that in Qingshui County, Xie Yu is the tenant of my inn. Because of his fate, we came to Yuhang with him this time."

"Since you are here to visit with Xie Yu, then Xie Yu is also on the scene this time the cruise?"

Why do you always ask around Xie Yu?

Is the case related to Xie Yu?

Lu Tang suddenly thought that Qin Mo and Song Qingzhan came here to investigate Xie Chengnan's affairs. Could it be that today's case of falling into the water was done by Qin Mo?

What does he want to seduce?

An analysis flashed through my mind, Lu Tang said: "Xie Yu did not ship with us. This morning, I went to Xie Yu's house with my friends. I stayed at Xie Yu's house for about an hour and left. I never saw Xie Yu again.

As for whether Xie Yu went to the scene, I don’t know.”

The prefect was silent for a moment, and then said, "Take a suspect."

Immediately, a yamen runner took a man forward and pushed the man to kneel on the ground.

Lu Tang turned his head and saw that the man was about the same size as Liang Cheng. He looked pretty good from the side, but Wenwen looked weak and looked like a scholar. Is this a suspect?

grass!

What kind of fate is she going to be Mercury retrograde recently? Why did she get into trouble with scholars? Can't scholars get a good person?

Moreover, isn’t scholars not kneeling? Why are they pressed down?

When Lu Tang rolled his eyes in his heart, he heard the magistrate ask, "Can you recognize this person?"

Lu Tang shook his head, "I don't know."

"You don't know each other without even looking at it?"

Lu Tang smiled bitterly, "Sir, the villain arrived in Yuhang last evening. He stayed in Laifu Inn and knew Xie Yu here. Oh, by the way, his grandfather has seen him today. He really doesn't know anyone who is not familiar with others."

The prefect sneered, as if he didn't believe Lu Tang's words at all, "This person's name is Xie Jin, and he is Xie Yu's younger brother. Don't you know him?"

Lu Tang was shocked immediately.

Xie Yu's younger brother?

She turned her head and went to see the person again. Xie Jin also turned to look at her, with disgust in her eyes.

Lu Tang:!

grass!

You a suspect dislike me?

Are you sick!

"Report to the adults, the villain doesn't recognize it."

The prefect slapped the gavel, "Do you know the consequences of perjury in court?"

After saying that, before Lu Tang answered, the prefect asked Xie Jin again, "Do you recognize this person?"

As the suspect, Xie Jin was not afraid at all. He held his head up and his chest held up with a proud aura of a scholar. "If the students don't know each other, the adults are aware that although Xie Yu is the elder brother of the student, because he looks similar to a monster and has a bad character, he was expelled from the house by his father for a long time and has never interacted with students since he was a child. How do students know his friends?"

The prefect did not refute, "Then why did you push Du Xuan into the water tonight?"

Xie Jin spoke with a righteous expression, "The students do not have one, but the students receive the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and the etiquette of the world, how could they do such a crazy thing?"

The prefect slapped the hawk with anger, "There are all evidence and physical evidence, and you still have to make a fuss! Bring it up."

With the order from the prefect, a yamen runner immediately brought seven or eight people forward.

These people were all guests on the ship, and everyone had the same confession, and they all witnessed Xie Jin's murder.

Xie Jin was not confused at all, "Sir, I clearly observed that these people must have been bribed to frame the students. The student had an argument with Du Xuan before, so he must have set up a plan to frame the students. Otherwise, why did someone hurry to save him just after he fell into the water?

wrong.

To be precise, the student saw with his own eyes that it was Du Xuan who fell into the water after he jumped into the water.

With this man's nature, he was clearly ready to go over and save people early in the morning.

Otherwise, he would do something if he suddenly dived!”

It was indeed she who fell into the water before she heard a thump there.

But their ship was not close to Xie Jin's ship, and the two of them fell into the water, shouldn't everyone's attention be on Du Xuan at that time?

Xie Jin actually noticed her.

Before she dives, shouldn't everyone's attention be on the flower boat?

As Xie Jin fell, there was Xie Jin's classmate outside and immediately shouted, "It's indeed this person who dived first."

The prefect looked at Lu Tang.

Lu Tang was shocked.

That's true.

But she couldn't explain why she dived.

Tell the prefect that she will be punished if she doesn't dive?

It would be strange if the prefect doesn't have a big shot at her.

Zhou Shu stood in front of the crowd and shouted to the court, "Sir, I'm sure Lu Tang dived because he lost the bet with us."

Xu Shen followed and said, "Master, we were in a boat at the time. Several people were playing. Whoever lost dives. Lu Tang jumped when he lost. But he just jumped and caught up with the murder there. It was really a coincidence."

They didn't know why Lu Tang had to jump at that time.

But there was no one on the ship at that time, and they would not be exposed even if they made up lies like this. Almost by instinct, Zhou Shu and Xu Shen started shouting.

On the other hand, Xie Jin's classmates were also shouting.

The prefect seemed to be in a state of distraction, and his face was silent for a moment, slapped the arbor, stood up and said, "Take it all down, retrial tomorrow, and withdraw!"

After saying that, he did not give anyone a chance to refute and turned around and left.

Zhou Shu, Xu Shen, Guo Dawei looked at the yamen runners in shock and took Lu Tang away, just wanting to rush up to stop people, but there was a cripple man next to him.

Liang Cheng's face turned pale because of anxiousness. If Zhou Shu and Xu Shen hadn't pressed him tightly, he would have rushed in with his lame legs.

Lu Tang didn't expect that he would be arrested if he saved someone.

Qin Mo!

Your uncle!
