Zhuque County.

Cao Wenhua was eventually put alone in a cell inside.

This can be considered as giving him a basic dignity.

If he were locked up with those prisoners, who knows what would happen.

The people imprisoned near Cao Wenhua were the Shi family.

Shi Jingshan and Shi Yulin from the Shi family were locked in cells next to each other. Through the gap, they could see each other.

The second day.

early morning.

Shi Yulin finally woke up.

He felt that every part of his body was in pain, and his bones felt like they were falling apart.

He struggled to open his eyes and looked up at the top of the cell.

Then, he heard a low cry coming from beside him.

"Why are you crying? Shi Jingshan, it's all your fault!"

Someone in the cell opposite shouted loudly.

"Master Cao, please don't curse. We are all dead now. We are all the same."

Shi Jingshan was sobbing while talking.

"Aren't we still alive? We have a chance when we are alive. Why are you crying? You are crying in mourning."

Cao Wenhua scolded him impatiently.

He wanted to sleep a little longer, but unexpectedly, he heard Shi Jingshan crying across from him, and when he raised his head, he saw Shi Jingshan sitting on the ground sobbing with runny nose and tears.

A grown man, with many lives under his control, why was he so miserable when it was his turn?

Cao Wenhua believed that he still had some character, but no matter what, he could not be as virtuous as Shi Jingshan, and he really disdained to be associated with him.

"Master Cao, do we really have a chance?"

Shi Yulin finally stood up and sat up.

When he entered the cell yesterday, he had already been beaten severely by Hu Hetai, and now his whole body hurts.

As for why Hu Hetai beat him severely instead of Shi Jingshan, he judged that Hu Hetai probably killed Shi Jingshan.

In other words, Shi Jingshan is dead and will never have a chance to live again.

However, even though he received a beating, he might not have no chance of survival.

"As long as you are alive, you have a chance. Now the court will definitely discuss this matter. People like us will usually be escorted to Beijing for interrogation by the three divisions. At that time, it will be our chance to escape guilt."

Cao Wenhua said.

The so-called joint trial of the three departments refers to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which are the three major agencies that trial the case together.

As for the identity of Cao Wenhua and the identity of the Shi family, when they are put together, it is definitely a big case in Daqi. This kind of case will most likely be tried by the three divisions.

"Exoneration? Impossible."

"General Luo will not let us off the hook."

Shi Yulin was a little pessimistic. No wonder he was pessimistic. The person who arrested him had a very high status in Daqi.

"What's the rush? We'll wait until we get to the capital."

Cao Wenhua put his hands on his knees, rolled his eyes and said coldly.

He has his own set of calculations in his heart, but he will not tell them easily. Some secrets are only suitable for himself to know and not suitable for telling others.

"If Mr. Cao can find a way to get away with it, he will make someone else obey you in the future." Shi Yulin said very respectfully.

…

evening.

Shi Yulin, wearing iron handcuffs and iron shackles, met Luo Fengtang in a secret room.

Luo Fengtang sat behind the table, looking at Shi Yulin with his eyes like razor blades.

"Head of the Shi family, listen carefully to the crimes you have committed."

Luo Fengtang motioned to Mi Qi, who was standing next to him, to read out Shi Yulin's charges.

After Mi Qi finished reading, she put the file on the table and stood beside Luo Fengtang.

Shi Yulin's face was ashen as death.

If these crimes were proven, it would not be an exaggeration to think that he would be beheaded ten times.

"Did you do all this?"

There was a hint of majesty in Luo Fengtang's plain question.

Shi Yulin plopped down on the ground, his whole body trembling with fear.

"Master Hou, please spare my life, please spare your life."

Apart from begging for mercy, he could no longer say anything else.

"I heard that this morning, you promised Cao Wenhua that you would help him deal with me?"

Luo Fengtang stared into Shi Yulin's eyes and said.

"No, really not."

Shi Yulin quickly lowered his head and lay down tightly, not daring to speak.

He regretted it very much.

I feel like I was too careless.

There seemed to be no guards near the cell, but that was probably an illusion.

In fact, everything he says and does is monitored.

"Is it true? You didn't just say that out of thin air."

"I see that the crimes you committed were mainly those of covering up and conniving. There were no actual murders or arson. What do you think?"

Luo Fengtang asked.

It was only after he got the compiled information that he decided to find Shi Yulin.

Because according to the collected information, this Shi Yulin is very different from other members of the Shi family.

He himself passed the examination and was a serious scholar. He was a good at writing and writing, and he even published a collection of poems.

From a moral point of view, he appears to be quite moral, but in fact, he is very indulgent towards the behavior of other people in the Shi family. As long as it can bring benefits to the Shi family, he basically turns a blind eye.

One eye.

"Master Marquis, I am a scholar and I will not commit adultery. I am also the head of the Shi family. I can't help but hide from each other."

Shi Yulin lowered his head and sighed.

"You are a candidate who has passed the imperial examination and provincial examination. The first thing to do is to bring scholars together and bring order to the family. If the whole family cannot be brought together, how can we govern the country?"

Luo Fengtang paused, and then said: "Shi Yulin, if you want to reduce your crime, you have to make meritorious service. Tell everything you know about the Shi family's affairs. In addition, as for Cao Wenhua, you have to go to the capital to accuse him.

he……"

"In short, the life and death of the Shi family is in your hands."

Luo Fengtang waved his hand, and two jailers dragged Shi Yulin out.

It was enough to meet him. His interest was waning and he suddenly didn't want to talk to Shi Yulin anymore.

He didn't tell any lies.

How the Shi family handles this depends entirely on Shi Yulin's attitude.

Of course, this only refers to the Shi family itself.

Some members of the Shi family must be killed and cannot be left behind.

For example, Shi Jingshan was within the scope of the execution.

"Master Hou, do we really want to let the Shi family go? I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future if we don't get rid of the roots."

Mickey said.

These days, she has seen a lot of evil things done by the Shi family. After reading some things, she felt creepy all over her body, and even the timid ones would have nightmares at night after hearing them.

She has never been a cruel person, on the contrary, she is a soft-hearted person. This time, she really couldn't stand the behavior of the Shi family, which made her want to completely destroy the Shi family.

"I will not let go of the Shi family, but it is impossible to kill all the people in the Shi family. There must be innocent people. We act in accordance with the latest Daqi laws and don't get involved easily."

Luo Fengtang said.

"Okay, only kill the culprits and leave the innocent alone."

Mickey nodded.
