The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia came to Chunmanlou and bought the manager of the restaurant with money.

On the night of the murder, he clearly remembered that the time when Ma Dong came here was the quarter of Xu o'clock, because he was the one who led Ma Dong into the building in person. At that time, Ma Dong asked him the time, and he specially asked the servant to take a look at the clock, so he clearly remembered .

Ma Dong started drinking after arriving, as many people can testify.

"Take us to the wing where Ma Dong drinks." Guo Jia said.

The manager of the restaurant immediately took the two of them upstairs. Guo Jia observed the room, then opened the door and window, and found that there was a river behind Chunman Building. The river stretches away.

"Steward, where does this river lead to?" Guo Jia asked.

The steward smiled and said, "Master, this is the famous Nanfei River in Luzhou, which circles the entire city of Luzhou."

Guo Jia nodded, then left Chunmanlou with Xiao Rui and came to the side of Nanfei River.

"Your Highness, I remember that there is also a river behind the mansion of the deceased." Guo Jia said, pointing to the Nanfei River.

Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, and he said: "Do you suspect that Ma Dong went to the mansion of the deceased through the river?"

Guo Jiadao: "Now it seems that Ma Dong's role in this murder case is very important, and there is a motive, so we must first overturn his alibi!"

"Yuan Fang, go find a boat, try punting the boat, how long will it take to get to the back of the deceased's mansion from here." Xiao Rui immediately arranged.

Li Yuanfang immediately tried to find a boat, but unfortunately, after trying, he found that the time of 15 minutes was simply too late! In other words, Ma Dong's alibi cannot be overturned.

Is it possible that he hired a murderer to kill?

Combined with the circumstances of the night of the murder, the person who could kill Mr. Jiang must have known him, so he let Mr. Jiang relax his vigilance. And the martial arts must be good in order to successfully attack from behind.

Under various circumstances, the possibility of hiring a murderer to kill people seems unlikely.

So, is it wrong to suspect that it has nothing to do with Ma Dong, but other people's hands?

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia felt that it was difficult, and it was getting late at this time, so they planned to meet Guo Ziyi in the death cell early tomorrow morning.

The next day, under the arrangement of the experience officer, Xiao Rui and Guo Jia quietly entered the death row.

When I came to the cell where Guo Ziyi was held, I saw Guo Ziyi in prison clothes sitting cross-legged on the bed in the dirty cell, closing his eyes and resting his mind. He didn't have his hair disheveled like a death row prisoner, but tied his hair behind his back. Although the prison clothes were not clean, he wore them neatly.

From this point alone, one can see Guo Ziyi's character, death is not terrible, and appearance must not be messed up! He is a very self-disciplined and self-disciplined person.

The experience officer took away the prison guards, and Guo Ziyi also opened his eyes, looking at Xiao Rui and Guo Jia.

"Are you two looking for Guo?" Guo Ziyi stood up and asked with fists in his hands.

Xiao Rui admired Guo Ziyi's attitude, and he remained calm even in prison, so he said: "I have heard about Mr. Guo's name for a long time, but I didn't expect Mr. Guo to be in prison. It's really a pity. Now Mr. Guo has been sentenced to beheaded. Will be executed in the future, Master Guo still insists that he is innocent?"

Guo Ziyi smiled and said: "Guo Xing is sitting upright, doing something and not doing something, how can he admit it if he didn't kill someone? Even if he kills someone, but Guo Xing has no regrets, the world is clear, and death is the same? "

"What a shameless one." Guo Jia has a good eye for seeing people, and Guo Ziyi has an extraordinary bearing and clear eyes. This is definitely not a villainous person.

Guo Ziyi asked back: "The two friends and I probably don't know each other. I don't know if the two of you came to see Guo for anything else?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "I said I came to save you, do you believe me?"

Guo Ziyi was startled, then shook his head, and said: "Your Majesty personally made a decisive decision with Zhubi, who can reverse the verdict? Who dares to reverse the verdict? Thank you two friends for your kindness, Guo accepts it."

"That's right, the crime His Majesty condemned... I don't dare, so the person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui took out the gold medal from his bosom, and said, "Guo Ziyi, let's see what this is!"

Guo Ziyi's pupils shrank sharply, and the word "like me in person" made him short of breath. He suddenly reacted and shouted, "His Royal Highness Xian, are you His Royal Highness Xian?"

As an acquaintance with the commander, Guo Ziyi naturally heard about it. He knew that the Seventh Prince Xian Wang held the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty on his tour of the state capital, and had the right to execute and convict.

"This king is right!" Xiao Rui nodded.

Only then did Guo Ziyi come to his senses, and immediately knelt down on one knee, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty Guo Ziyi pays homage to His Royal Highness King Xian!"

Xiao Rui raised his hand to signal, and said: "Get up and talk! The purpose of my king's coming here today is to hear the real situation on the night of the murder case. This king believes that you are innocent, so I need to find out the clues during these three days. , to reverse the case for you!"

Guo Ziyi's heart was filled with excitement and emotion, and his chest heaved due to his violent panting.

"How can a villain make His Royal Highness Xian worry so much?" Guo Ziyi's eyes were moist.

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "I believe in Master Guo's character, I don't want the real murderer to go unpunished, and I don't want Da Xia to lose a great general!"

Guo Ziyi was so moved that she didn't know how to express it.

Next, Xiao Rui and Guo Jia asked about the real situation on the night of the murder.

That night, when Guo Ziyi went back to the study with Jiang Chuan, he didn't expect that Ma Dong was there. It turned out that Ma Dong had told Jiang Chuan about Guo Ziyi's embezzlement of military pay. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chuan didn't believe Ma Dong's slander, so he called Guo Ziyi to confront him on the spot. .

At Xushi, the reprimand heard by the servants outside the house was not aimed at Guo Ziyi, but Ma Dong!

But then, Guo Ziyi felt dizzy and passed out. When he woke up, Jiang Chuan was dead, Ma Dong was missing, and the doors and windows were locked from the inside, and he was still holding a bloody saber in his hand.

"Your Highness, after I was arrested, I told the truth about this matter, but Ma Dong had reliable alibi, and instead said that I deliberately slandered him because he showed evidence that I withheld military pay." Guo Ziyi sighed With a sound.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia nodded and said, "It seems that the murderer is Ma Dong."

At this time, Guo Ziyi said again: "Your Highness, the reason why Ma Dong framed me is because I robbed him of the position of his commander and acquaintance, and secondly, the person who withheld the military salary was his design specifically for me."

Xiao Rui frowned. They didn't even overthrow Ma Dong's alibi, and they didn't find any evidence that he killed Jiang Chuan. How to expose Ma Dong?

"Your Highness, Ma Dong forged false accounts and wronged me to withhold military pay. The real accounts must be in his hands, and he cannot do it alone. There must be someone to help him in the commander. This time Master Jiang died tragically. I was imprisoned again, and only Ma Dong, the commander, was left to make the decision, so those thousands of households in the guards who were deducted from their military pay did not dare to report and expose them, so His Highness only needs to send someone holding a gold medal to ask a few thousand households to know which one it is Officials are doing things for Ma Dong!" Guo Ziyi said.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Okay! Then do you have a recommendation for Qianhu?"

"Yes!" Guo Ziyi immediately said the names of several thousand households.

"In addition, Your Highness, I went to Mr. Jiang's banquet, but I didn't bring the saber with me. The saber was placed in the commander of the capital. I believe it was Ma Dong who secretly took it away and set up a poisonous plan. I recalled it well in prison. On the night of the murder, I was the official who left Shen Shimo, so it must be after that time that Ma Dong wanted to steal my saber. The room where I dealt with official duties happened to be facing the Judgment Department, and the officials of the Judgment Department were urgently dealing with military affairs , if Ma Dong sneaks into my room and steals my saber, someone might see it." Guo Ziyi gave another detail.

Xiao Rui was overjoyed, the more information he had, the more powerful evidence he could find.

After that, the three chatted for a long time before Xiao Rui and Guo Jia left the prison.

After going out, Xiao Rui asked Li Yuanfang to take his prince's decree to find the few thousand households mentioned by Guo Ziyi, hoping to know from them who cooperated with Ma Dong's case of withholding military pay.

When Xiao Rui and Guo Jia returned to the inn, Jiang Yue, Jiang Chuan's son, asked to see him. Guo Jia asked him to investigate whether there were dwarfs in Luzhou City. After he sent someone to investigate carefully, he found an important clue!

Someone once saw a dwarf man in Ma Dong's mansion, who was said to be Ma Dong's distant cousin.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia were overjoyed, and immediately sent Dian Wei and Jiang Yue out, hoping to capture this dwarf man.

According to Xiao Rui and Guo Jia's calculations, the day before the murder, Ma Dong deliberately delivered the box containing the dwarf to Jiang Chuan's study on the pretext of sending calligraphy and painting. The next day, Ma Dong stole Guo Ziyi's saber and sneaked into Jiang Chuan's study. He did not know how to inform Jiang Chuan. Jiang Chuan went back to the study and met Ma Dong. Here comes Guo Ziyi.

Then Guo Ziyi was in a coma, and Ma Dong killed Jiang Chuan with a knife, and released the dwarf who had been hidden in the box beforehand. After Ma Dong left, the dwarf locked the doors and windows and continued to hide in the box. But Ma Dong rushed to Chunmanlou to create an ironclad proof of his absence.

And in this process, apart from being unclear about how Ma Dong rushed back to Chuanmanlou, there is another doubtful point! That's how Ma Dong notified Jiang Chuan when he arrived at Jiang Chuan's study?

Therefore, Guo Jia suspects that there must be internal support in Jiangfu!

At night, when Jiang Yue came back, he and Dian Wei searched for a long time, but they couldn't find the dwarf. And Guo Jia asked him to go back to the mansion to check if there were any spies in Jiang's mansion.

Now that Guo Ziyi has been sentenced to death, the spy must have relaxed his vigilance, and careful investigation should reveal some flaws.

Jiang Yue hurried back to investigate, while Xiao Rui asked Dian Wei to monitor Ma Dong, hoping to get useful information from him.

In the early morning of that day, just as Xiao Rui woke up, Guo Jia said happily: "Your Highness, I know how Ma Dong rushed to Chunmanlou within a stick of incense and produced an alibi!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Xiao Rui asked overjoyed.

Guo Jia said: "Your Highness, it will take a quarter of an hour to take a boat from Chunmanlou to Jiangfu. But I asked carefully about the weather on the night when the crime happened. It happened to be windy in those few days. It is from Jiangfu to Chunmanlou, sailing against the current takes time and effort, but punting along the current, coupled with the wind power, is much easier, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour!"

Xiao Rui patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Yeah, how could I forget about this water potential!"

Immediately afterwards, good news came from Jiang Yue.

He went back to the mansion to investigate secretly, and found that there was something wrong with one of the servants. The servant claimed that he had won a sum of money from gambling, so he didn't work. After Guo Ziyi was sentenced to death, he left Jiangfu to start a small business by himself .

Dian Wei didn't hear any news from Ma Dong last night, so he immediately asked Dian Wei to control the servant.

On the other hand, Li Yuanfang rushed back that afternoon. He held the prince's order and questioned several thousand households in the guard.

At this time, tomorrow is the time for Guo Ziyi to beheaded.

Although the evidence obtained now is still unable to identify Ma Dong, but it has given Xiao Rui a place to make a fuss. He directly asked Li Yuanfang to hold his prince order and the token of Ruzhen's personal visit, bypassing the commander and directly controlling Ma Dong. The military power of the guard of Luzhou Prefecture!

Four ranks of thousands of households are all people who respect Guo Ziyi. Hearing that His Highness overturned the case for him, they immediately follow Xiao Rui's lead!

That night, Xiao Rui ordered to search for dwarf men related to Ma Dong, and arrested the Du Si Du Shi and Jiang's servant.

And when Luzhou Inspector and Ma Dong received the news, it was already early the next morning.
