Xiaojiang felt that Zhang Xiaobai had hidden a woman in the house from him, and he was determined to find that woman.
After all, if someone like Zhang Xiaobai, who was neither a woman nor a man, really hid a woman in the house, it would definitely cause a sensation if word got out.
He wanted to be a gossip expert!
As he joked, he wandered around the house. However, there was indeed no woman in the house, and there was no place to hide someone. Even the windows were closed.
How boring!
Zhang Xiaobai was not stupid. He stood at the door with the costume in his arms and stared at him. "Have you seen enough? How is it? Are there any beauties here? "
"Haha!" Xiaojiang scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Hurry up and leave. Don't disturb my rest."
"Okay, okay, okay. Have a good rest."
Xiaojiang was about to go out when he accidentally saw some white powder on the table and the ground. He had an idea. When he passed by the table, he dipped his finger in it.
He hid his hand behind his back.
Only then did he go out!
When he went out, he said to Zhang Xiaobai, "By the way, look for me next time if you want to wash the costume. I'll charge you a little less."
Zhang Xiaobai did not even look at him and closed the door with a bang.
Xiaojiang stood at the door and pursed his lips. Then, he looked at the powder on his fingers curiously and sniffed it.
He frowned slightly.
This was medicine for scratches!
"What's wrong? Is Zhang Xiaobai injured? "he muttered, but he did not think too much about it. He wiped the white powder on his fingertips on his clothes and left.
In the house.
Zhang Xiaobai hung up the costumes one by one.
Then, he took off his clothes and continued to apply the medicine!
The next morning.
As soon as the sky brightened, a group of constables rushed into the backyard of the Zhao family troupe.
"Hand Zhang Xiaobai over."
Huh?
The people in the troupe were dumbfounded!
Why were they looking for Zhang Xiaobai?
Seeing that they were not moving, the leading constable ordered his men, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and find him. "
"Yes!"
"Wait." Troupe leader Tao had been sleeping in the house since he returned from the yamen last night. As soon as he woke up, he saw such a scene. He walked over with a tired face and asked, "Officers, what's going on?"
"Lord Zhuo has ordered us to take Zhang Xiaobai to the yamen for questioning."
"Why … why?"
"Why? Because he is very likely to be Wang Jun's murderer. "
"Ah?"
Everyone was astonished!
The leader of the constables gave the order, "Go and arrest them."
Soon, Zhang Xiaobai, who had just woken up, was brought over by two officials.
"What are you doing? Let me go. I didn't kill anyone. "
"We'll know when we get to the yamen."
Although Zhang Xiaobai was not tall and thin, the strength in his wrist was very strong!
Neither of the two officials could move him.
"Behave yourself."
"I didn't kill anyone, so you can't take me to the yamen. What if I confess under torture?"
Ouch!
This kid was quite smart.
The leading official furrowed his black eyebrows and walked in front of him. "Zhang Xiaobai, if you want to say something, go to the yamen and say it. If you dare to resist again, I will break your legs."
He immediately became obedient!
After he was forcibly taken away, Troupe Leader Tao and the rest of the troupe followed.
At the same time, Ji Yunshu also received a message.
Last night, she went to the prison to see Song Zhi and returned to the inn. This morning, she heard from the yamen that Lord Zhuo had taken Zhang Xiaobai to the court.
They planned to interrogate him!
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong immediately went over.
When the two arrived at the yamen, the outside of the court was already surrounded by people.
Zhang Xiaobai was kneeling inside.
Jing Rong told her to stay outside the court and observe the situation first. The two stood among a group of onlookers who came to the yamen.
Among the onlookers, Troupe Leader Tao was also there. He looked inside nervously and was also very worried.
They only heard Zhang Xiaobai crying inside, "Lord Official, I am wronged!" Official Zhuo sat on top and looked at him coldly. "Zhang Xiao Bai, this official has already ordered people to investigate. Your relationship with Wang Jun has never been good. Back then, you should have been the new member of the Zhao Family, but at that time, Wang Jun married the lady boss of the rouge store, Zhao Zhuang 'er, so he snatched your new member.
But? "
"I … didn't."
"This is the court. If you dare to lie, this official will serve you with a wooden board."
Zhang Xiaobai was most afraid of pain and scars on his body. He frowned and said, "Yes, I have a bad relationship with Wang Jun. I also resent him for snatching my role, but … but I don't know how to kill people!"
"Because you have accumulated a lot of resentment, you are unwilling to always be Wang Jun's substitute. In addition, this time Wang Jun acted in 'Ghost Wife Burying Husband'. This play became popular, so he also became popular, so you wanted to kill him."
"I didn't!" Zhang Xiaobai said anxiously, "Troupe Leader has already promised me that I can be the new actor in the next play. Why would I still want to kill him? Wouldn't I get myself into trouble? "
"Even if what you said is feasible! However, before Wang Jun went to look for Song Zhi, someone saw you and Wang Jun arguing in an alley behind the Zhao Family. At that time, Wang Jun even hit you. You threatened that you wouldn't let him go and that you would skin him alive. Is that true? "
Uh!
There was such a thing?
Zhang Xiaobai felt a little guilty. "I …"
Lord Zhuo snorted and ordered, "Bring the witness here."
Two bailiffs brought in an old woman with a stooped back.
When the bailiffs pushed away the crowd of onlookers, they accidentally bumped into Ji Yunshu.
Jing Rong immediately protected her. At the same time, a pair of big hands reached over and supported her elbow.
Only then did she avoid the risk of falling.
Ji Yunshu looked down and saw that the hand supporting her wrist was very big. That person's wrist was also wrapped in bandages. Because the bandages were a little loose, she could clearly see small red dots on the wrist. They were densely packed and looked very disgusting.
When she looked up, that person had already withdrawn his hand and immediately put it into his sleeve.
That person was none other than Gao Dali. He was tall and rough, with a face full of sideburns, but he looked like an honest person.
She softly said, "Thank you."
Gao Dali didn't know that she was the Bone Painting Master invited by the yamen to handle the case.
He said, "It's nothing."
The old woman was brought in and knelt on the ground.
Zhang Xiaobai turned his head and looked at her strangely.
He didn't have any impression of this person.
Lord Zhuo asked the old woman, "This official asks you, do you know the person beside you?"
The old woman looked at Zhang Xiaobai and nodded. "I do. He's Zhang Xiaobai from the Zhao family."
Her voice trembled.
"Then, do you know Wang Jun?"
"I do."
