Chapter 275 The Strange Case of the Sky Prison

"Master Gu, Lord Ji, the officials are wronged"

I thought that the trial of the case was over, but no one expected that Chu Xiangbei finally came back to his senses and shouted at the court for grievances.

"What's wrong with you?"

"My lords, these things were committed secretly by the rebellious son of the lower official. The lower official doesn't know anything about it. If the rebellious son is so rebellious, the lower official doesn't want to admit it. I hope the two adults will investigate clearly."

"Dad, you"

Hearing that his father said such heartless words in person, Chu Yintai was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

"Shut up, you beast, I don't have a son like you

Mr. Gu, Mr. Ji, what this son committed has nothing to do with the lower officials, and I hope the two adults will handle it impartially."

"Snapped!"

Gu Ming got up and slapped the gavel heavily.

Then he took out his waist card and shook it: "Now, I officially take over the case as the Minister of Dali Temple.

Chu Xiangbei, do you think that I am here today just to attend the previous case?

Now I am here to tell you that the biggest crime of your father and son is colluding with the enemy's secret agents and betraying the court's intelligence."

"Injustice!"

After hearing what Gu Ming said, Chu Xiangbei and the two were so frightened that they all cried out for injustice.

When Ji Xiu saw that something was wrong, he quickly got up and gave up his seat: "Master Gu, you come to interrogate, you come to interrogate"

Now, Gu Ming has officially announced to take over, how dare Ji Xiu sit in the main seat?

"There is no need to interrogate!" Gu Ming waved his hand: "I have already obtained conclusive evidence for this matter. Lord Ji, send someone to seal up the Chu Mansion immediately. In addition, send someone to escort Chu Xiangbei and his son to Beijing, and hand them over to Dali Temple for custody." .”

"Yes, my lord!"

That night.

Outside the city of Guangping Prefecture.

"Master Gu, please be respected by the little girl again!"

Xin Shishiniang gave Gu Mingying a blessing.

"Fourteen Niangs don't need to be too polite, by the way, what are your plans in the future?"

"after"

Xin Shishiniang subconsciously glanced at Ninth Sister who was standing by her side, sighed faintly and said, "I am going to go back to my mother's house to practice in seclusion, and strive to achieve a positive result as soon as possible.

Entering the WTO this time can be regarded as having experienced some mortal affairs and ended a mortal relationship. "

"What does Feng Sheng mean?"

Xin Jiuniang hurriedly replied: "Of course that guy is reluctant to leave my little sister, but the relationship between husband and wife is over, so I can't blame anyone."

Gu Ming thought for a while, and then asked: "Then, the county lady who protected the media before won't say anything more?"

"probably not"

Xin Shishiniang's tone seemed a little uncertain.

"Fourteenth Mother, if she asks you to persuade you to make peace again, you don't agree, just stay at your mother's house and practice with peace of mind.

If she still refuses to give up, and even wants to use some tough methods, you can show my name.

If she still refuses to give up, then blame me for being ruthless."

With Gu Ming's current strength, not to mention the old lady in the underworld, even if her husband is a patrol envoy, as long as he dares to disturb the world, Gu Ming will still have a way to deal with it.

Next, Gu Ming confessed to the two sisters before turning around and leaving.

After dawn, he arrived in the capital.

"Young master, are you back so soon?"

As soon as Gu Ming returned to the mansion, Xiao Yuan greeted him in surprise.

"Yeah, it's better to come back early to deal with business. Did anything happen during the days I was away?"

“Nothing special”

"Well, go and boil some hot water, I'll take a shower and change clothes."

"Good son."

Madoka responded and left.

After taking a bath, Gu Ming changed into his official robe, and came to Dali Temple in a sedan chair.

"Master Gu? You returned to Beijing so soon?"

As soon as Gu Ming appeared, a temple named Fan Xiu rushed forward to greet him.

"Yeah, after all, business matters"

Gu Ming replied happily.

"Master Gu came back just in time, something big happened in court!"

"Huh? What's the big deal?"

"Prince Qing and Ni Chenggui are dead!"

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help being surprised: "Dead? When did it happen?"

"What I discovered this morning should have happened in the middle of last night."

"Wait, they weren't held together, which means they both died last night?"

"That's right, the state of death is very strange. Lord Qing turned into ashes, while Ni Chenggui turned into a puddle of blood."

"Is there such a thing? Who is on the scene now?"

"The Criminal Department was the first to take over, and then the emperor ordered our Dali Temple to co-organize. Master Lu has already led people to the prison to check the scene."

Hearing this, Gu Ming turned around immediately, and ordered: "I will go to the scene to check now. You order, everyone is not allowed to leave Dali Temple without authorization, and you are on call at any time!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The matter was urgent, and Gu Ming couldn't take care of it anymore, and rushed towards the prison like a wisp of smoke.

It didn't take long before he arrived outside the sky prison managed by the Ministry of Punishment.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with this adult in the sky prison?"

The guard on duty outside the door didn't know Gu Ming, so he stepped forward and stopped him.

After all, the sky prison is heavy, and all the criminals in the prison are the imperial court officials, and even the imperial court officials cannot come in and out at will.

Gu Ming showed his waist card: "This official is Gu Ming, Minister of Dali Temple, and I was ordered to enter the Tianlao to investigate the case."

"It turned out to be Mr. Gu, please, Mr. Gu!"

The guard was startled, and hurriedly gave way.

However, this is only the first level. If you want to enter the place where the prisoners are held, you have to go through two levels, and there are many guards along the way.

In such a heavily guarded place, how did the other party sneak in and get rid of Lord Qing and Ni Chenggui quietly?

Along the way, Gu Ming was thinking about this question.

Of course, he is thinking from the perspective of ordinary people.For example, with his skill, it is quite easy to sneak into the dungeon quietly.

"Master Gu?"

"See Mr. Gu!"

"Master Gu, are you returning to Beijing so soon?"

As soon as Gu Ming entered the prison area, a group of people just came out of the prison where Ni Chenggui was imprisoned. When they saw Gu Ming, they were a little surprised, and they stepped forward to salute.

"Well, the time to come back is just right, have you found any clues?"

"My lord, we have initially suspected that the cause of death of Ni Chenggui and Lord Qing was the work of strangers in the world."

It was Lu Fei, one of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who led the team, who spoke.

"An alien from the Jianghu?"

"Yes, do you want to test it yourself?"

"Well, go in and have a look."

"Sir, please!"

Lu Fei quickly took Gu Ming into the cell to check again.

As soon as you enter, there is a pungent stench blowing in your face.

Lu Fei wanted to cover his nose, but seeing Gu Ming's nonchalant look, he had no choice but to suppress the churning in his chest.

Then, an official from the Ministry of Punishment also walked in.

The stench comes from a pool of black mud-like thick liquid on the ground, in the shape of a curly person.

"Master Gu, look, Ni Chenggui is such a big man, and now he has become such a mess."

"Master Gu, after this case happened, our criminal department has detained all the relevant guards who were on duty last night, and checked one by one whether there is any internal response."

"Well, the possibility of an internal response cannot be ruled out."

Gu Ming nodded.

Afterwards, he checked carefully in the prison, and came to the prison area where Prince Qing was being held.

This area is the most important, there are only a few cells, heavily guarded, not to mention people, not even a mouse can slip in.

However, Prince Qing still died inexplicably.

Moreover, the state of death was extremely strange, turning into a pool of ashes, not even a single bone was found.

Under normal circumstances, if it is burned to death by fire, it is impossible to burn so thoroughly, and some bones will be left behind.

Moreover, once the fire burns, it is impossible for the nearby guards not to know.

But Lord Qing died so quietly, it wasn't until after midnight, when the guards made routine inspections, that they were horrified to find that Lord Qing had disappeared out of thin air.

Fortunately, these guards are quite experienced, and they didn't panic when they opened the cell door to check, otherwise the scene would have been destroyed long ago.

After the inspection, Gu Ming, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Punishment, came to the place where the guards were being held and began to interrogate them one by one.

As a result, they couldn't find any useful clues, and no one noticed or heard any abnormal movements.

After the interrogation, Gu Ming said to the official surnamed Geng of the Criminal Department: "Master Geng, these guards are not internal responders, let them go, and tell them to be more careful in the future."

"Ah? But Mr. Gu, this case is too serious. The emperor has ordered a deadline to solve the case. These guards"

Before the other party finished speaking, Gu Ming couldn't help but waved his hand: "Let them go, I can be sure that these guards have no internal response. Where is the emperor, I will explain it to you."

"Well, since Mr. Gu said so, the official will let him go first. However, I would like to ask one more question, has Mr. Gu seen something?"

"Master Geng, don't ask any more questions. I can only tell you this. Your criminal department can't handle this case."

Lord Lu, you leave two people here to be responsible for guarding and contacting. I will go to the palace to see the emperor now. "

"Yes!"

Royal study.

"Gu Aiqing, you came back just in time!"

As soon as they met, Emperor Yongping was a little excited and hurried forward to meet him.

There are not many people who are worthy of his welcome to Man Chaowu.

"Weichen see the emperor!"

Gu Ming met with him for a routine ceremony.

"Ai Qing doesn't need to be too polite, hurry up, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"By the way, I heard that Aiqing handled a case in Quang Binh Mansion yesterday?"
