Chapter 39 Pass

"Good, how did the government suddenly come to pass me through the hall?" Zhou Chongxiao was puzzled.

But the government didn't have time for him to think well. As soon as he saw someone, he pulled him away. When Mrs. Zhou heard the news and rushed out, Zhou Chongxiao had already arrived at the magistrate's hall.

Above the lobby, Zhang Chengxi sat firmly in the middle, patted and said, "Bold Zhou Chongxiao, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Although Zhou Chongxiao behaved obediently and did his own way, he did not really do anything against discipline and the law. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw such a battle.

Hearing the magistrate's question, Zhou Chongxiao suddenly remembered something a long time ago and said, "Your Excellency, Zhou has been a scholar, and his fame is in his body, so he doesn't have to kneel down."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall looked at me, I looked at you, and they were all stunned.

Have you ever been a scholar among the sons of the Zhou family? Why haven't you heard it mentioned?

This is a common question in everyone's mind.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhou Chongxiao immediately understood what everyone was thinking and could only explain: "Zhou was a scholar at the age of 12. Now it has been about ten years. In addition, Zhou is not intoxicated with merit and fame, and has not taken any imperial examinations since then, so no one remembers this."

The master suddenly patted his head and said, "It's you! Our young scholar in Wanyang City was famous for a while, but because there was no news later, I forgot it for a while.

"Master, in this way, is it true that he is famous?" Zhang Chengxi turned his head and asked the master. After all, it has been less than ten years since he came to Wanyang City as a magistrate, and some things are not very clear.

"Your Excellency, it's true." The master twisted his beard.

"If that's the case, then you can stand!" Zhang Chengxi cleared his throat and continued to interrogate the case, "Mr. Jin, come and have a look. You can recognize this person."

Mother Jin glanced at Zhou Chongxiao and said, "Of course, I know him. It is he who has caused the whereabouts of Miss Meixiang and Lv Liu so far."

When Zhou Chongxiao saw Jin's mother when he entered the door, he had an ominous hunch in his heart. Now when he heard that Jin's mother was suing him for persecuting Mei Xiang, he couldn't help crying bitterly.

Last night, he did enter Meixiang's Anxiang Pavilion, and fought with Xuanyuanbi and Meixiang. Later, although he escaped, he did not care about the movement of the Anxiang Pavilion.

Now, looking at what Jin's mother meant, Mei Xiang did not die under the attack of Xiaolong, but ran away with the maid. But Zhou Chongxiao is unspeakable. He can't tell everyone that Mei Xiang is a monster!

Not to mention whether anyone will believe it, I'm afraid that at that time, I will be convicted of nonsense and contempt for the court.

"Zhou Chongxiao, Jin Shi sued you for taking the opportunity of Miss Meixiang inviting you to the Anxiang Pavilion to secretly kill Miss Meixiang and the maid Lvliu. What do you have to say?" Zhang Chengxi saw that Zhou Chongxiao's face had changed. He thought that he was nervous about what he had done and was exposed. He couldn't help but feel good.

Now that Prince Jing is still at home, if he can take advantage of this opportunity to solve a case, maybe Prince Jing will say a few words for him in front of the emperor, and he can be promoted and become rich.

"If you go back to the adult, Zhou was indeed invited by Meixiang girl and went to the Anxiang Pavilion. However, Zhou did not kill the master and servant of Mei Xiang. Zhou Chongxiao said sweating profusely, searching his mind to find a breakthrough that was beneficial to him.

"Oh? So you said, who destroyed the whole Anxiang Pavilion to a face-to-face, and who made the whereabouts of Meixiang's master and servant so far unknown? Zhang Chengxi leaned forward a little, "Is there anyone else in the Anxiang Pavilion besides you?"

"This..." Zhou Chongxiao was speechy for a moment.

Tie the truth, I'm afraid no one will believe it, and I have to talk about Xuanyuanbi; if I don't tell the truth, I don't know how to lie for a while. Besides, the disappearance of Meixiang's master and servant is an iron fact, and I was once invited to Anxiang Pavilion is also an iron fact...

Zhou Chongxiao really felt sad about this.

Outside the magistrate's office, Xuanyuanbi pulled Shuilian and probed her head in the crowd to find out what was going on inside.

"I didn't expect that the young master of the Zhou family was so vicious that he killed the Huakui Meixiang girl in the Fanglou." This sentence suddenly came out of the crowd.

People's discussions are out of control.

"That's right. Look at the human appearance, he turned out to be a beast."

"I heard that the whole Anxiang Pavilion has been destroyed. What a terrible thing to do!"

"Have you heard about it? Some time ago, Zhoufu was making trouble with monsters! Maybe, the young master was given by a monster this week..."

"Oh, my God! What if it's really a monster? If the monster still wants to kill people, I don't know whose turn will be next?

There was endless discussion outside the lobby, but the interrogation in the lobby encountered a bottleneck.

Zhou Chongxiao insisted that he did not kill Meixiang's master and servant, but he couldn't explain what happened after entering the Anxiang Pavilion, which made people confused.

Mother Jin, together with the nurses, clerks and girls of the Fanglou, testified together. Only Zhou Chongxiao stepped into it in the Anxiang Pavilion, and the words were so convincing.

Under the two-phase judgment, the high and low opinions.

"Zhou Chongxiao, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for using you." Zhang Chengxi still has some concerns in his heart, so he hopes that Zhou Chongxiao can tell the truth by himself.

After all, Zhou Chongxiao is the only legitimate son of the Zhou family. The Zhou family is a famous family. Master Zhou is said to be very decent in the capital. If he sway this boy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the Zhou family at that time.

At this time, Zhou Chongxiao deeply understood the taste of "the mute eats Huanglian, and there is bitterness that can't be said".

"Come on, take Zhou Chongxiao down and blame the twenty boards." Zhang Chengxi saw that Zhou Chongxiao was still unmoved and thought he was stubborn, so he gave the order.

I only hope that Zhou Chongxiao can understand that the relationship is strong.

Outside the hall, people are still talking about the recent big and small things in Zhoufu.

Shui Lian was pulled by Xuanyuanbi and slowly squeezed in the crowd, and finally squeezed close to the main gate of the government office.

"Let's go in and have a look, okay?" Xuan Yuanbi saw Zhou Chongxiao's figure in the hall from afar and rushed to the water and said pitifully.

Shui Lian looked up at the two door gods who stopped him. When he saw their fierce appearance, he also knew that the two demons, Xuan Yuanbi, could never get in, and consciously stopped.

But he was surprised to see that Xuanyuanbi did not seem to see the two door gods, and rushed straight into the lobby.

"Sister Bi!" Shui Lian exclaimed, afraid that the door god would kill Xuanyuanbi fiercely without asking the reason for a while.

However, he was wrong again. The door gods turned a blind eye to Xuanyuanbi and let her run in directly.

However, Xuanyuanbi, who passed by the door god, was finally stopped by the two guards guarding the door with a court staff.

"Wh! Why can't you go in?" Xuanyuan Bi pouted and asked the two cold-faced government.

"The public court is heavy, and idle people are not allowed to enter." The government said bluntly, just don't let Xuanyuanbi make any more progress.

Xuanyuanbi, who couldn't get in, had no choice but to turn back to Shuilian's side and listened to the people next to him.

Shui Lian's eyes were full of doubts, and he stared at Xuanyuan Bi for a long time.

Xuanyuanbi is a demon, which is not only known by him, but also by Xuanyuanbi himself. However, this demon is so weird, first for the rest of his life under the guardian array of the royal ship.

Although Shuilian only thought that Xuanyuanbi saved her life because of the small time and scope of contact, at this time, at this time, if the royal guardian array is so simple, how to protect the safety of the members of the royal family?

Then, just now, the god of Mingmingmen stood in front of him. Why did Xuanyuanbi turn a blind eye to them, and they also turned a blind eye to Xuanyuanbi?

"Sister Bi, who are you?" Shui Lian asked secretly in his heart.

After hitting the 20 boards, Zhou Chongxiao only felt that his legs trembled, and his buttocks had completely lost consciousness. He forced himself not to kneel down, and his body was a little wobbly.

"Zhou Chongxiao, do you recruit or not?" Zhang Chengxi admired his backbone, but the case could not be concluded, and he could not show any thoughts.

"Zhou didn't kill Miss Meixiang. Other than that, he has nothing to say." Clenching his teeth, Zhou Chongxiao just didn't want to say one more word.

Zhang Chengxi had no choice but to order Zhou Chongxiao to be taken into custody first and retrial on another day.

Returning to Zhang's house, Zhang Chengxi still frowned.

"Lord Zhang, is this case difficult?" A clear voice came from his side. Xuanyuanjin was holding a chubby tiger-patterned cat and looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Chengxi trembled all over, and finally remembered that there was a big man in his house, Prince Jing. He hurriedly said to the truth: "Your Majesty, it is the Jin family in the Fanglou in the city who sued the young master of the Zhou family, saying that he had killed the Huakui Meixiang girl."

"How about the details? Let me listen to you." Walking to the hall, Xuanyuanjin was very interested in this case.

Zhang Chengxi conveyed the statements of the two sides one by one and said, "According to the two sides, it is obvious that Jin's words are chiseled, while Zhou Chongxiao hesitates and hides a lot. Therefore, the subordinates believed that Zhou Chongxiao was suspected of being serious and had taken into custody.

"Well, you are right." Xuanyuanjin touched the tiger-striped cat's head and suddenly stood up and said, "I want to go to the Anxiang Pavilion to have a look. Lord Zhang will arrange it!"

Zhang Chengxi only wanted to play with this young Prince Jing. He also wanted to go to the scene to have a look and hurriedly called someone to arrange it out.

In the prison, Zhou Chongxiao was restless because his buttocks were damaged, and finally he could only lie on the ground to rest.

He was panicked. He knew that his words were unclear about this case, which was bound to attract a lot of suspicion. In the end, he was afraid that he could not escape the end of being convicted of murder.

However, he also understands that there is no way to talk about the monster at all. What's more, Mei Xiang and Green Liu have disappeared, which is the so-called death without proof. No matter what he says is useless.

"Mother, forgive the child for being unfilial." Tears flashed at the corners of Zhou Chongxiao's eyes, and sadness came from it.
