Chapter 33: Madman and Fool
Xie Xunfeng looked at Huangfu Chou in front of him.
Huangfu Qiu was born with a cold face and a pair of eyes that seemed to come from the underworld.
Just one look at it is daunting.
Moreover, the aura emanating from him.
This actually made Xie Xunfeng feel a little uneasy for the first time.
It seems that this person is not simple.
Xie Xunfeng did not avoid Huangfu Chou's gaze, but looked into his eyes.
Just like that, they looked into each other's eyes.
Huangfu Chou was also shocked.
No one had ever dared to look him in the eye like this.
And while looking at each other, he dared to answer so easily.
"Mr. Huangfu is right! One month is actually just for safety reasons. If everything goes well, it won't take that long. If Mr. Huangfu can fully cooperate with me, I believe seven days will be enough..."
Huangfu Chou had long heard that this Xie Jizi was a little stupid.
Now his silly words made him more certain.
No normal person would say that a murder case can be solved in seven days.
Even with the help of the Warden.
The Prison Warden's Office was outside of all systems and was solely under the jurisdiction of the emperor.
They are generally responsible for reviewing some important cases.
And Huangfu Chou is the absolute authority in the prison department.
Because Huangfu Chou 's investigation methods were too crazy and bloody.
People nicknamed him Crazy Yama.
However, as soon as the assassination began, Huangfu Chou went to investigate.
But there was no clue at all. Those assassins were all deadly and committed suicide after being caught.
There were no clues on them.
"Are you talking nonsense? Seven days?"
"Mr. Huangfu, don't you believe it? How about we make a bet? As long as you fully cooperate with me, I will be able to solve the assassination case in seven days."
Huangfu Chou thought that this simpleton in front of him seemed interesting, so he said, "Okay! What's the bet?"
"If I solve this case within seven days, you will treat me to a meal. If I can't solve it, you can do whatever you want." Xie Xunfeng said.
Huangfu Chou raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Xie Xunfeng, "If you can't break it, I will pull out your tongue."
Xie Xunfeng agreed without even thinking about it.
Huangfu Qiu looked at you with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Okay, just for your courage, I will feel more comfortable when I pull out your tongue!"
Eunuch Chang, who was standing by, felt goosebumps all over his body as he listened.
One is a fool, the other is a madman.
The conversation between two people is really not something that a normal person can listen to.
He quickly interrupted and said, "Thank you, hostage. This is the token that His Majesty asked me to hand over to you. With this token, you can walk freely in the palace."
Xie Xunfeng was waiting for this thing and took it with a smile.
As they were talking, there was a noise outside the door.
"Oh, my son...how did you get beaten like this...Xie Hanzi...I want to...I want to fight you to the death...I, Yuan Shan, will not let you spend the rest of your life in prison, and I will take your surname..."
Yuan Shan came over with the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and the officers and soldiers. He saw Yuan Ba, who had been beaten to a pulp at the door, and cried out in pain.
The gate of the hostage house was also surrounded by officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Justice.
Xie Xunfeng bowed to Eunuch Chang and Huangfu Chou and said, "You two, wait a moment... I'll be here when I'm done."
Eunuch Chang and Huangfu Chou nodded. They did not intend to get involved in this matter.
They saw it when they came in just now.
But I am a little confused about what Xie Xunfeng did.
It can make the third son of the Yuan family willingly slap the second son of the Yuan family.
They are not in a hurry and want to see how the situation develops.
…
Xie Xunfeng walked to the door and saw a lot of people coming in.
The leading man saw Xie Xunfeng coming out and shouted, "How dare you, Xie Xunfeng, set up a private torture chamber... and beat up the second son of the Yuan family. Did you know that the second son of the Yuan family is the general who guards the emperor's army? Come, arrest him and bring him back to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation..."
As he spoke, the officers and soldiers beside him were about to move without waiting for Xie Xunfeng to speak.
Guan Chong pointed at the man and said, "Zhao Tang, are you blind? Which eye of yours saw my elder brother beating someone up? Yuan Hui beat Yuan Ba up like this. If you don't believe me, go and look at Yuan Hui's hands. His hands are all swollen!"
"You came at the right time. You should arrest Yuan Ba! Didn't you see that they brought people to smash our hostage house? Do you know who my eldest brother is?"
"My elder brother is the eldest son of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He will become the crown prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, or even the emperor. Now he has suffered this injustice here ! It is no exaggeration to say that if this matter is not handled properly, it will easily lead to a war between the two countries!"
"You're talking nonsense. He is just a fool that the Great Zhou Kingdom doesn't want. What a bullshit prince! Minister Zhao, you have to stand up for us... They are going too far." Seeing someone coming to help, Yuan Hui gained confidence and pointed at Guan Chong and said.
Zhao Tang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, glanced at Yuan Qing standing beside him, and Yuan Qing nodded slightly.
He seemed to have gained confidence, pointing at Guan Chong and saying, "Prince Guan, stop talking nonsense. Even though you are the son of old Prince Guan, if you make trouble, I will arrest you! Come on, why are you standing there? Arrest Xie the hostage. If Prince Guan makes trouble, arrest him too."
Seeing Guan Chong was about to speak again, Xie Xunfeng stepped forward and said, "Master Zhao, do you dare to arrest people in public?"
"If you hit someone, I will arrest you! If you break the laws of Daxia, I will arrest you!" Zhao Tang said to Xie Xunfeng.
"Okay! Then, go and arrest the two brothers Yuan Hui and Yuan Ba. Yuan Ba was beaten by Yuan Hui. Anyone who passed by my hostage house today can testify to this! And Yuan Ba brought his soldiers to vent his anger and smashed the door of my hostage house. According to the laws of Daxia, how should this be punished..."
Guan Chong called out all the servants working in the house, and then asked, "Everyone, tell Lord Zhao, who smashed the door of the hostage house?"
"Yuan Ba!" Dozens of servants answered in unison.
"So, who beat Yuan Ba like this?" Guan Chong continued to ask.
"Yuan Hui!"
"Sir Zhao, we have the witness and the physical evidence. You can compare Yuan Hui's hand and that should be enough. With both the witness and the physical evidence here, do you still want to arrest me?" Xie Xunfeng always had a calm smile on his face.
Yuan Hui pointed at Xie Xunfeng and said, "You fool Xie, it was you who threatened me to beat my brother..."
"My elder brother asked you to eat shit, why didn't you go...why are you so obedient?" Guan Chong pointed at Yuan Hui and cursed.
"Master Zhao, they are talking nonsense. In my opinion, we should catch them first!" Yuan Shan said with gritted teeth, his face full of heartache.
Zhao Tang understood and said, "Why are you standing there? They are talking nonsense. Arrest them!"
"Zhao Tang, it's been a short time since we last met, and you've become blind and deaf!" Huangfu Chou walked out and said in a cold voice.
When Zhao Tang saw Huangfu Chou, it was as if he had seen a ghost.
He turned pale with fright, and fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, trembling, "Huang...Huangfu...Ling..."
