Chapter 56 The Death of the Censor

Early in the morning, Axiu quietly came to report that Gao Yushi was resting today and would not check the account books.Zhao Yuanjian felt relieved after hearing this.After having breakfast with Lin Heng, he went out to chat with Gao Yushi.

Gao Yushi smiled brightly, his wrinkles were stretched out, as if he was 20 years younger.

Zhao Yuanjian said: "My lord, if you have any dissatisfaction, feel free to bring it up."

Gao Yushi said: "Very satisfied, Mr. Zhao's talent is on par with your father's."

Zhao Yuanjian asked, "What is your lord here to investigate?"

Gao Yushi whispered: "Someone read your copy at the Queen Mother's, saying that you intend to rebel, store food secretly, and make weapons privately."

Zhao Yuanjian hurriedly said: "This is a false accusation. I have always been law-abiding and dare not go beyond the rules. Do you know who was sued?"

Gao Yushi said: "Your father."

Zhao Yuanjian sneered, thinking that he was no longer under his control, and sued him to the Queen Mother, so he wanted to kill himself.Fortunately, he was still cautious in doing things, and Zhao Shengqi couldn't grasp any big things about him for the time being.Now that Gao Yushi was fascinated by Axiu again, he would not be afraid of Zhao Shengqi even more.

Axiu picked a few rhododendrons from the flower bed in the yard and walked into the house.When Zhao Yuanjian saw her coming in, he got up and said, "Don't bother Mr. Yu Shi, please come to the courtyard for dinner at noon."

As Zhao Yuanjian walked, he thought of the gold silk box sent by the prefect of Qin, and he felt that there was something wrong with the prefect of Qin.

Zhao Yuanjian took the gold silk box in his sleeve and found Miao Yishan.Miao Yishan picked up the medicine in the box, tasted it in his mouth, and smelled it again. He said: "This is the heartbroken grass from Miaojiang, and it is a chronic medicine. I don't feel anything at first, but after half a month of use, my stomach will feel worse." rotten to death."

Zhao Yuanjian put the medicine in his arms, thinking that the prefect of Qin must have been instructed by Zhao Shengqi.He originally wanted to take care of the Qin family. The Qin family had offended the precious prince, and now they are so bold. He wanted to take care of the Qin family when Gao Yushi left.

Gao Yushi spent five days with Hua Cong and Axiu, and he didn't check the account books, nor went to the barracks, grain depots and other places.Gao Yushi wants to bring Axiu back to Beijing tomorrow.

Zhao Yuanjian held a banquet every day, but Gao Yushi still ate his own cook's meals and drank the wine he brought.Every day in a daze, the beauty is pregnant again, I don't know what year it is.

Tonight, Zhao Yuanjian and Lin Heng were having a heated fight on the bed.

They were interrupted by a hasty knock on the door, and someone told: "My lord, Gao Yushi is dead!"

Zhao Yuanjian jumped up with a plop, put on his clothes, and rushed to Gao Yushi's room.In the room stood Gao Yushi's subordinates, servants, and Zhao Yuanjian's guards.Zhao Yuanjian squeezed through the crowd in panic and walked in.I saw Gao Yushi lying in a pool of blood, staring at a pair of lifeless eyes, sticking out his tongue, his face was ashen, and he had died.

Axiu was kneeling aside, holding a silver knife in her hand, she shook her head violently, and the steps on her head made a rattling sound.She yelled loudly, and her crisp voice changed its tone: "My lord was not made by me, not by me, not by me!"

Zhao Yuanjian frowned, and he said, "Please do a physical examination, and put Axiu under custody first!"

After a while, the yamen servant walked into the house and dragged the panicked Axiu out.

The incident happened suddenly, Zhao Yuanjian was a little flustered, this Gao Yushi was killed in his own mansion, Axiu must not be the murderer, this must be someone's deliberate plot.This time, I'm afraid I'm going to be framed. Axiu introduced Gao Yushi by herself. Now that he died beside Axiu, I became the mastermind behind the scenes.

Among Gao Yushi's subordinates, an envoy surnamed Qiu came out, and he said: "Master Zhao, our Lord Yushi died in your house, please avoid suspicion, my lord, please go back to your room and accept our interrogation .”

The envoy under the censor can temporarily replace the censor to perform the post of censor.Now that Gao Yushi is dead, the envoy will temporarily act as the censor and exercise the power of the censor.Zhao Yuanjian thought: I can only admit defeat now.

Lin Heng rushed in from behind. In a hurry, he grabbed the knife, pointed at Shijun Qiu, and said, "He is dead, what does it have to do with our lord? Don't bully people too much! My lord is easy to talk, but I am not easy to talk." !"

Zhao Yuanjian hugged him and held his wrist tightly.Zhao Yuanjian was much better than him in martial arts, Lin Heng's wrists were bruised, but he still couldn't break free.He was dragged aside by Zhao Yuanjian and scolded: "Don't be presumptuous! Please forgive me, my lords."

As he spoke, he dragged Lin Heng out of the room, and a team of yamen servants followed them with knives and sticks.

At this time Miao Yishan came over, but he didn't look at Zhao Yuanjian.

Zhao Yuanjian didn't even look at him, and whispered to him, "Tomorrow morning, go to the tunnel entrance and meet Lin Heng."

Miao Yishan nodded and walked away.

He and Lin Heng returned to the room to rest.Lin Heng knew that Zhao Yuanjian was going to suffer this time, so he hugged Zhao Yuanjian tightly and said: "This damn ghost is going to die, but he died in your house. Damn, don't be such a troublesome official. I will take you away now, and I will support you!"

Zhao Yuanjian reassured him, and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I was framed only temporarily. I still have my eldest brother, who is now a general. He won't watch me be imprisoned. And there are Wang Zhihe and Zhang Xiulin Now, they will definitely not look at me to help me. The master of Baihe Hall will also come to save me, what are you worried about?"

Lin Heng was still not at ease after hearing this, he looked at Zhao Yuanjian nervously, and sighed.

Zhao Yuanjian said with a smile: "Prince, you don't have to worry about me, but we have to be separated for a few days, I'm afraid you will be watched."

Lin Heng heard: "I don't, I will go with you wherever you go."

Zhao Yuanjian: "Be obedient, you will escape from the tunnel tomorrow and go hide with Miao Yishan and Lei Lie. I will write two letters, one to my elder brother and one to Wang Zhihe, tell him Find a way to investigate this case."

Lin Heng: "Alright, if something happens, I'll take them to jailbreak and rescue you."

Zhao Yuanjian sat by the screen window, wrote two letters, handed the letters to Lin Heng, and he went to bed and fell asleep.

Lin Heng hugged him in a daze, and from the time when the moon was sinking to the sun was twilight, he never closed his eyes, and kept leaning his face on Zhao Yuanjian's forehead.He touched Zhao Yuanjian's long hair, sword eyebrows, and cheeks carefully, fearing that he would never be able to touch them again.

Lin Heng got up and tied Zhao Yuanjian's jade pendant around his waist.

Zhao Yuanjian also woke up. He walked to Lin Heng and hugged him tightly, saying, "Go, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Lin Heng was in extreme pain, his brows were clustered, his eyes were full of sour emotions, his lips were trembling slightly, and his face was wrinkled as if he was about to cry.He firmly grasped Zhao Yuanjian's arm, and said, "We've been dating for less than a year!"

Zhao Yuanjian was also reluctant to part with him, touched his face, and said, "Be obedient."

Lin Heng shook his head violently, he said: "I won't go, I won't go, I'm worried about you."

Zhao Yuanjian opened the tunnel, grabbed Lin Heng's hand, and dragged him in.Lin Heng firmly clasped the bed board with his fingers.Zhao Yuanjian had no choice but to kick his ass and threw him into the tunnel after exhausting himself for a long time.

Zhao Yuanjian looked at Lin Heng who fell to the ground and looked at him eagerly.He ruthlessly scolded: "Useless things are useless! If you don't do what I told you, we will both die here!"

Zhao Yuanjian closed the secret door of the tunnel heavily, and he fell on the chair at once, looking at the wall separating them.He had a bad premonition that they might be separated again because of this matter.

Lin Heng's eyes were red, and he shouted, "Open the door!" Zhao Yuanjian couldn't hear him at all.Lin Heng hated the door that separated them, but he could only hold the letter and run back.

After running for a long time, at the entrance of the tunnel, I saw Miao Yishan and Lei Lie waiting for me.They ran over to help him into the carriage, and rushed to Wang Zhihe's residence.

Soon after, officers and soldiers surrounded the chief minister's mansion.Zhao Yuanjian put on his official uniform calmly, drank the tea brought by the maid, and ate the meal.He grabbed some strands of hair left by Lin Heng's pillow, smoothed them into a small strand, put them in a sachet, and put them on his chest.

At this time, Qiu Shijun, Gao Yushi's subordinate, rushed in with the yamen servant, and said, "Please follow me to the court!"

Zhao Yuanjian stood up and said, "Yes."

He walked into the courtroom and sat down on a chair next to the case.He frowned, his face a bit ugly.Qiu Shijun walked up to the bright mirror and sat down. He patted the gavel and said, "Woman who leads the case!"

Axiu came in wearing a wooden shackle, and her beautiful face changed shape.Her lips were chapped, her face was stained with tears, and the white prison clothes on her body were oozing bloodstains. She had been whipped with a leather whip, and her hands were bloody and swollen from being pinched by bamboo sticks.

Zhao Yuanjian thought that Qiu Shijun's torture was too harsh, and Axiu might not be able to hold on today, and would have to admit that she had killed someone herself.

Qiu Shijun: "Woman on the case, the crime has been verified, and the murder weapon is your knife, and you still don't admit it! Hmph! The yamen servants pressed her down and beat her with a board."

He threw a hundred lottery sticks on the ground in a row, indicating that he would hit the board a hundred times.

Zhao Yuan stood up abruptly, and said, "Lord Qiu, did your assistant examine Gao Yushi carefully? I really can't believe that Axiu killed someone."

Qiu Shijun looked at Zhao Yuanjian with disdain, and said, "Master Zhao, please avoid suspicion! Wu Zuo has already experienced a lot of injuries, and he was indeed injured by the blade in her hand!"

Zhao Yuanjian had no choice but to sit down, thinking that he might also be involved today.

In order to humiliate Axiu, several yamen servants stripped off all her clothes.Holding a fire stick, he pressed Axiu to the ground and beat her hard.Axiu let out bursts of heart-piercing screams: "Ah! It hurts me to death!"

The yamen servant beat her to pieces for more than forty boards, her legs were shaking constantly, she couldn't bear it any longer, she shouted: "It was me who killed Lord Yushi, I believe..."

Zhao Yuanjian closed his eyes, unable to bear to look any further.

Qiu Shijun laughed loudly, and he said: "Okay, why did you kill Lord Yushi? To be honest, who ordered you?"

Axiu was covered in blood and sweat, she almost fainted.She couldn't stand up anymore, she was carried over by the yamen servant, she said: "No one instructed me, I hated this dirty official myself, that's why I..."

Zhao Yuanjian saw that Axiu could last for so long, and thought that it was not easy for her.He thought badly, this Qiu Shijun seemed to be eager to convict himself, and he was afraid that he had already been bribed by his father.He changed his posture on the chair, leaning on the chair and sweating coldly.He couldn't sit still anymore, he wanted to continue the fight, Axiu would definitely not be able to hold back and confessed herself, and she was convicted of murder.

Sure enough, Qiu Shijun said: "Come on! Keep fighting! Until the person behind the scenes is revealed."
