King Shou immediately pushed the beauty away. Before he could put on his clothes, he took off a pair of shoes and ran out, calling out as he ran.
"It's over, it's over. Hongwen is going to scold me to death. There are three fathers and sons of the Gu family in the prison. No matter how much trouble they make, they are still one family. It's over... it's over!"
At the same time, King Rui of Fanhua Tower got the news and was so shocked that he dropped his wine glass and looked at each other with counselor Yu Qing, both with deep meaning in their eyes.
This move must be the result of the old Qi King killing people, and there is no right way to die.
What fast hands and feet!
It seems that this old King Qi is determined not to look back!
Yu Qing stood up hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, send someone quickly to inquire about the situation of the three masters of the Gu family."
Early morning the next day.
Emperor Baoqing changed his usual gentle face, and as soon as he sat down, he knocked down the fine tea cup handed by Eunuch Li to the ground.
The tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. All the officials in the palace secretly said something bad.
Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment knelt on the ground and trembled as he recounted what happened in the prison yesterday.
At the end, he fell to the ground with a pale face, large beads of cold sweat falling down one by one, and said sadly, "I am guilty of death!"
He should also die as an apology.
There were seventy-three important prisoners in the prison, twenty were injured, more than ten were killed, and most of the remaining prisoners were still holding their bellies and rolling over.
That's all, but there are so many soldiers and guards in the Ministry of Punishment. They haven't even found out who set the fire or who committed the murder. It's so embarrassing that they have been thrown into my grandma's house.
The old king of Qi looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, without saying a word, except that his heartbeat was beating like a drum.
Before the emperor could say anything, the heads of the Second Department of the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate came out one after another, demanding a thorough investigation of the case.
At this moment, King Rui glanced at the old King Qi, stepped forward and said loudly: "Under the feet of the emperor, there is a clear world. Someone has done such a big and reckless thing. I beg the emperor to investigate thoroughly."
Not to be outdone, the wise king also stood up and asked the emperor to severely punish the murderer.
When all the officials saw that the two kings, who had always been at odds with each other, actually spoke in unison, they knew that this matter was not a trivial matter, so they shouted in unison.
The emperor stood up slowly, his eyes filled with anger.
"I have been in office for many years. Although I cannot be said to be a great strategist and have worked hard to govern, I have been diligent, pragmatic and conscientious. Nowadays, hundreds of people live in peace and prosperity, and the country is stable, but there are still such crazy things like murder and arson."
All the ministers knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Check, check carefully for me, get to the bottom of it."
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses were laid on the ground, blood flowed thousands of miles, and the officials shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The emperor opened his eyes angrily and glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, "King Shou."
"My son is here!"
"I order you to lead three important personnel to investigate this matter thoroughly. If you can't find out the truth, don't come to see me."
"Father!"
Prince Shou looked sad, rushed to the dragon chair, hugged the emperor's legs and feet, and cried loudly, "What if the son cannot be found out? Will the son never see his father for the rest of his life?"
The emperor's chest felt tight, and he secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will demote the people in charge of those three ministries first, and then I will take action on you!"
King Shou had a happy face. It seemed that this was a good deal. After all, there were three old guys backing him up.
He immediately got up from the ground and said in a pretentious voice: "Have you three heard this? Investigate the case for me. No matter who is found, they must report it honestly. If you dare to practice favoritism and malpractice, I want your death." head.”
When the Minister of Punishment, Minister of Dali Temple, and Academician of the Metropolitan Procuratorate heard this, his legs became weak and he sat down on the ground.
Carefully chewing on the profound meaning of the emperor's words, it is just to let King Shou have a name. It seems that this matter must be investigated and handled with all their heart.
King Shou returned to his original position, his eyes swept over the face of the old King Qi, with a faint smile in his eyes, and suddenly said, "Wang Shangshu, are the three masters of the Gu family still alive?"
Wang Shangshu wiped his sweat and said with lingering fear: "Going back to your lord, the three masters of the Gu family are still alive, but they just suffered some skin injuries..."
"Keep your breath, as long as you can speak." King Shou waved his hand and interrupted him rudely.
The old King Qi's eyes flashed, and he pretended to lower his head to cover up the fierce light in his eyes.
Early in the morning.
King Shou followed the emperor into the imperial study room, while King Rui went to the harem. The queen had been ill these days, and his son had to come forward to ask for help.
As soon as the wise king left the court as usual, he disappeared. The old King Qi, who always mingled with the officials, had an unprecedented straight face and hurried out of the palace.
As soon as he exited the gate, a royal carriage came up to him. The eldest son, Zhao Jingyi, felt his heart trembling slightly as he helped his old father get into the carriage.
After sitting down, Lao Qi Wangfu raised his hand and slapped her, and Zhao Jingying immediately knelt down in the car.
"Incompetent bungler!"
"Father, my son is useless, please punish me."
The old King Qi's eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of fatigue. He glanced at his son feebly, leaned against the wall of the car, and slowly closed his eyes.
King Rui had already become suspicious of him. With his broad mind, he must have suspected that he was responsible for the incident in the Ministry of Punishment.
This time it was a real breakup.
The second child has a vicious temper and will never let it go. This matter can only escape the first grade of junior high school, but not the fifteenth grade. It’s not a good idea!
"Father, what should we do now?"
"how?"
The old King Qi smiled coldly, "Now, our palace has become meat on the chopping board."
If he felt right, he seemed to have gotten into a game, just like the game six years ago.
Who is the one who set up the trap
Are you the one in the game
Is this a life situation
Or it can turn into a dead end in a matter of breaths. When he thought of this, a thick cold sweat broke out on Old Qi Wang's back.
Zhao Jingyue's face turned blue and white for a while, and she felt secretly guilty. How could something that was originally good become like this
It's quiet late at night, in the warm pavilion of Qingfu, with red lights hanging high.
A silver moon hangs high in the sky.
The weeping willow trees by the lake no longer have many leaves, only bare branches remain. The night wind blows across the lake, which makes it look quite desolate.
Ali stood outside the warm room with his head lowered. He looked around with a gaze as fast as lightning. His beautiful sharp eyes never looked at Chunni.
Chunni glanced at Nuan Pavilion from time to time. When his eyes fell on A Li, he exhaled cold air from his nose and turned his head away.
The two of them have disliked each other since they met, and it's even worse now.
In the corner of the Nuan Pavilion, wine was warming on a small red clay stove. Jiang Hongwen looked at the person on the couch, stretched out his long arm, picked up the wine pot from the stove, poured himself a glass, and then turned his head away.
The man on the couch had jet-black hair and a red upper body. He looked a bit lazy and indulgent.
A plain hand touched his chest, embroidering a tiny wound like embroidery. Then tighten the stitches, tie the knot, and bandage.
Zhao Jingyan seemed stunned by the series of fierce movements.
"If it cracks again, there's nothing I can do." Qingguan stood up and rubbed his slightly sore neck.
Zhao Jingyan had dark eyes and just smiled.
He didn't want the wound to open, and if he didn't do a complete performance, it would be inevitable for people to see the flaws. That Zhang Yunlong is such a powerful character. If he catches his eye, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
"By the way, why doesn't it hurt today?"
"I helped you rub some Mafo powder. But the medicinal effect is only for a cup of tea, and you will still feel pain afterward. Chunni, go and see if the medicine is ready."
"Yes, miss."
Qingguan finished cleaning his hands and said with a calm face: "Send over the two secret guards who were injured because of me, and I will treat their injuries myself. For the one who was killed, I will ask Yinzhen to send him money when he comes back, Tinglin, You give it to his family for me.”
Zhao Jingyan tilted her head and let Jiang Hongwen change his clothes, while his eyes wandered over her body and his tone was leisurely.
"These people have been prepared to die since the day they followed me. You don't have to blame yourself."
Qingguan looked back at him. His clothes were still open, half covering his collarbone. The skin on his chest reflected an ambiguous luster under the candlelight.
Looking back, Qingguan whispered: "I feel guilty that they died because of me, so just let me do something for them."
"Then what if I was injured because of you?" Zhao Jingyan smiled, put her hand on Jiang Hongwen's shoulder, and squeezed it a few times.
Brother, can you be more knowledgeable? I am going to flirt with a girl, and you are in the way.
Jiang Hongwen's eyes flashed slightly, and he deliberately let go of his hand. Someone fell heavily on the couch, holding the wound in pain.
Do you want to be so cruel? Zhao Jingyan glared at him resentfully.
Jiang Hongwen turned a blind eye and said, "Qingguan, there is still something going on with the secret guard. I'll take care of it first. You can keep an eye on him for me."
Okay, why do you just leave
Qingguan stood on the spot, looking back at Zhao Jingyan with some confusion. The heat on the small stove blurred his face, revealing a strange smile.
"It's true that something happened. He came with me because he was worried about me. Now that you are here, he feels relieved." Zhao Jingyan smiled.
Qingguan knew that they were brothers, so he didn't think much about it. He walked over, sat in front of the couch, and said seriously: "The three masters of the Gu family have settled down?"
Zhao Jingyan collected her thoughts and said: "Don't worry, everything is fine. It's just a superficial injury. I will be happy and free in the prison of Shuntian Mansion!"
The prison of the Criminal Department was raided, and the criminal had nowhere to go and could only move to Shuntian Mansion. I heard that the cells in Shuntian Mansion are slightly better than those in the Criminal Department.
Qingguan thought: "What do you think the old King Qi will do now?"
The man looked proud and said, "I must have endless regrets. I have a hot potato in my hand, and it doesn't matter whether I dump it or not. As long as I use my mind to bring the matter of the Ministry of Punishment to him, then King Rui's rule The arm has been completely destroyed by us."
Qingguan sighed lowly. When he raised his head again, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, "You were injured for me. This is my compensation for you. Take a look."
"What is it?"
What he said just now was just a joke to tease her. He had never thought about making any compensation.
Zhao Jingyan lowered his head and glanced casually, then his face changed slightly and he looked deeply at the woman beside him.
Qingguan smiled faintly, "Zhang Hua did what happened to the Cao family. Zhang Hua's ability is not enough to rob the Cao family. There must be someone behind him to help him. This person is probably the queen of the middle palace." "So. ?" Zhao Jingyan was slightly shocked, but her face was calm.
