Chapter 78

"Snapped!"

Bai Lihe directly took the bamboo fan and knocked on it, "I'm guilty of being a thief!"

Zhao Hu was in pain, and hurriedly put his hands behind his back.

"Zhao Hu, the reason why the fire burned so big last night was not only because of the pouring of fire oil, but the most important thing is that you want the fire to burn. As for the purpose, it is just to kill people and seal them up, destroying corpses and destroying traces."

"I didn't, it wasn't me..." Seeing Su Qingran's approaching step by step, Zhao Hu panicked, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Zheng, "My lord, help me..."

Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Han, your analysis just now is very exciting, but it's just your imagination, and it doesn't explain anything at all."

Su Qingran sneered, "It is said that Mr. Yin Zhou of Jingzhao Mansion is fair and upright. Is this how all cases are judged?"

Zhou Zheng cupped his hands and said: "Young Master Han, please calm down. It's not that I'm partial to my subordinates. You have no evidence for this matter. Even if I want to make decisions for you, I can't do anything."

"evidence?"

"Yes, Mr. Han must be very clear. What we pay attention to in handling cases is evidence. If you don't say anything else, let's talk about the fire last night. If you didn't set it on fire, how did you escape from it safely?"

The corner of Su Qingran's mouth couldn't help twitching when he heard this, did he mean that it only made sense for her to be burned to death inside?

"Han Qing, I was rescued from it by my son. Is Mr. Zhou satisfied with this explanation?"

A cold sound came from behind, and Su Qingran suddenly turned around.

Facing those deep black pupils, she couldn't help biting her lip.

Didn't you ignore her, why did she come again?
"It turns out that the prince is here, and I have seen the prince." Zhou Zheng hurriedly saluted.

Murong Che glanced at him lightly, and ordered sharply, "Come on, take Zhao Hu down!"

"Yes." Zhu Hao immediately brought a few servants of the Dali Temple to grab Zhao Hu.

Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Dare to ask the prince what does this mean?"

"Didn't Hanqing make it very clear just now, Zhao Hu is the murderer!"

"Your Majesty, there is... no evidence for this. What's more, this is a case of my Jingzhao Mansion, and Dali Temple has no right to intervene." Zhou Zheng reminded.

In the east, the Jingzhao Mansion is an independent institution that governs the capital and has the right to directly convict and prosecute. It only needs to submit the case to the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple really has no control.

Murong Che directly took out a jade tablet from his waist, and waved it in front of Zhou Zheng, "Is there anything wrong with my son taking over this case as the master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets?"

Zhou Zheng stared at the jade tablet in Murong Che's hand without blinking, his face turned slightly pale.

Tianji Pavilion, established by King Anping 25 years ago, is responsible for the difficult and unsolved cases in the east, and reports directly to the emperor without going through the Ministry of Punishment.

That is to say, as long as the Tianji Pavilion takes over the case, no yamen has the right to intervene.

Fifteen years ago, after King Anping was executed, the Tianji Pavilion remained vacant until Murong Che took over.

As we all know, since Murong Che took over the Tianji Pavilion, this is the first time to handle a case as the owner of the Tianji Pavilion.

It seems that this case is not trivial!
Glancing at Zhou Zheng's pale face, Murong Che ordered directly, "Bring up Wang Yuzuo's body."

After a while, two yamen servants brought out a charred corpse from the wing room.

A burnt smell soon filled everyone's nostrils, accompanied by a strong aroma of barbecue.

However, when the eyes fell on the charred corpse, the smell of barbecue was no longer fragrant...

Looking at the corpse, everyone's faces gradually turned pale, their scalps became numb, and their stomachs couldn't stop churning.

"Ugh..." Finally someone couldn't help it, hurried to the side, and vomited wildly.
