When Li Yong entered the palace late at night, Jing Wenhao knew that something must have gone wrong with the case.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Jing Wenhao, Li Yong knelt down and said: "The guilty minister is not doing his job well, please ask the emperor."

Jing Wenhao helped Li Yong up and said, "Don't care about these vain rituals, what happened?"

"The cell in Dali Temple was set on fire and burned down," Li Yong replied.

"Hmph, they are also very courageous." Jing Wenhao snorted coldly, "Who are you waiting for in Lin Gap?"

"The fire started from the compartment in the forest. When I arrived with my men, it was too late to save him and his nephew. We only moved Concubine Zhen and the others out. I am negligent, please punish the emperor." Li Yong showed his face. The color of unwillingness.

"Don't talk about that, it's not easy to keep Concubine Zhen. Jing Wenxi Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, and I never thought that I would be able to take him down this time. Has the person who set the fire been caught?"

"Catch one, it was a dead man. After interrogation for a while, he gave a statement that he was sent by the third prince, and then he bit his tongue and killed himself." Li Yong replied, "The strange minister didn't think well, and he couldn't stop him."

"Lord Li is worrying too much. He wants to die, but Lord Li can't stop him. But it's okay, if he wants to pour dirty water on Jing Wenzhao, I will let him do it, and let them eat dogs without trouble." Jing Wenhao frowned, "Who knows about the arson and the dead man?"

"The matter of arson was suppressed by the minister. Those who put out the fire are all members of the minister, so they don't talk too much. The dead man was interrogated by the minister himself. As soon as the man died, the minister entered the palace, and no one else knew about it." Li Yong His face showed embarrassment.

"You don't need to blame yourself. It is not easy to discover the fire in time and control the news. Jing Wenxi must have been prepared for doing this." Jing Wenhao frowned suddenly, "The people in Dali Temple probably It's also unclean."

"Indeed, before entering the palace, I sent my subordinates to investigate, and there should be results when I go back. How will the emperor deal with it?"

"The case in Wujia Village is only a semblance, and he cannot be convicted. However, this matter cannot be understood so easily. I will go with you and find someone to bring Jing Wenxi along. You find People released some news, saying that the person was interrogated by Zhen and Jing Wenxi, and the confession was made by the third prince."

"Is the emperor going out of the palace?" Li Xi stood up suddenly, only wearing a middle coat, and casually draped over it, but her face was still flushed.

"What are you doing up? Resting so late, it's still cold these few nights, why haven't you taken medicine for a long time?" Jing Wenhao said sternly, but his eyes turned into water, and he walked over Li Xi's clothes were gathered together, and Li Xi's two hands were held again.

"Your Majesty, take me with you." Li Xi stared at Jing Wenhao. He didn't really hear what Jing Wenhao and Li Yong were talking about just now. He just vaguely heard about the fire and murder. I quickly put on my clothes and got up.

"Go back to bed and lie down, I'll come back as soon as I go." Jing Wenhao looked at Li Xi without any intention of taking him.

"Your Majesty, I, I..." Li Xi didn't know what excuse he should use to let Jing Wenhao take him with him.

"Okay, it's getting late, are you obedient? I'll go back quickly, you go back and wait for me obediently, and I'll come back sooner, okay?" Jing Wenhao looked at Li Xi still unwillingly. , I could only use my trump card, "Otherwise, you can ask your brother to see if he can let you go."

Sure enough, this sentence successfully threw the trouble to Li Yong, but fortunately Li Yong is firm enough, even though he loves Li Xi a lot, he still didn't fulfill his wish and let him follow.Li Yong quickly glanced at the newly formed blue and red spots on Li Xi's neck, and then gave Li Xi a refusal look.

"Listen to the emperor."

Jing Wenhao spread his hands and said, "Look, my own brother won't help you."

Fearing that Li Xi would be unhappy, he simply hugged Li Xi, went back to the inner hall, and put him on the bed.

Poor Li Yong, a man of strong bones, has lived for more than 20 years without knowing what he is, but he was stimulated several times by his younger brother tonight.

Jing Wenhao tidied up his clothes, walked out, and returned to his previous cold face: "Okay, let's go."

Li Yong followed Jing Wenhao into the carriage and arrived at Dali Temple in two quarters of an hour.

"Where is the dead man now?" After getting off the carriage, Jing Wenhao turned to ask Li Yong. "You're probably sure it hasn't been publicized yet?"

"It's in the interrogation room of the secret prison. Fang Caichen locked the interrogation room when he left, and the guards are all people around me, so I can trust you." Li Yong replied.

"Okay." Jing Wenhao simply responded, and followed Li Yong into the dark prison.

All the way through unimpeded, opening the interrogation room, Li Yong saw the dead man who was still tied up.

"It's him?" Jing Wenhao frowned deeply.

"Does the emperor know this person?" Li Yong saw Jing Wenhao with a strange expression.

Jing Wenhao took a deep breath. In the last life, it was this person who shot him an arrow from outside the palace gate, but was blocked by Li Xi.The image of Li Xi's pain that night reappeared in his mind, but in an instant, Jing Wenhao's heart tightened, and he couldn't kill this person with his own hands.

"The people around Jing Wenxi." Jing Wenhao almost uttered these words through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty." Li Yong felt that something was wrong with Jing Wenhao.

"Go find someone to invite Jing Wenxi to me, hurry up." Jing Wenhao's air pressure is getting lower and lower.Li Yong didn't know what happened, so he could only retreat quickly.

Jing Wenxi didn't sleep that night, he waited for his people to come back and report back, but he didn't expect that it was Li Yong's people from Dali Temple who were waiting.Fortunately, he knew the people he sent out, so he calmed down and followed them to Dali Temple.

When Jing Wenxi arrived, Jing Wenhao was sitting on a chair in the interrogation room with a sullen face.

"Brother Huang, they said something important, what exactly is it?" Jing Wenxi made a look of concern.

Jing Wenhao snorted coldly, "Brother, do you think my emperor is not qualified enough?"

Jing Wenxi paused in his heart, but he regained his composure and said, "Brother Huang, why did you say that?"

"A few days ago, Li Yong found out that someone was manipulating the case of Wujia Village in order to garrison troops in Beijing. Oh, no, I just found out some clues and even burned the witnesses and their cells. You said it was Isn’t it too disrespectful to me? Is the emperor really easy to bully?” Jing Wenhao raised his eyebrows slightly, his stern face showed a chill, which made people shudder.

At this moment, Jing Wenxi just wanted to know what his situation was like, so he stopped going around in circles and asked, "If this really happened, I really don't take the emperor seriously. Can the emperor find out who is behind this?" Is it?"

"All the evidence points to my good brother." Jing Wenhao paused and looked at Jing Wenxi.

Jing Wenxi panicked when he saw him, and lowered his head without looking at him. After a while, Jing Wenhao said again: "Jing Wenzhao's wolfish ambition, I didn't realize it."

Jing Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Is there any misunderstanding? Brother Huang, do you want to check again?"

Jing Wenhao looked indifferent, and with a wave of his sleeves, Li Yong asked someone to bring the dead man just now, but what was different from before was that there were countless sword holes on this man, all of which were caused by Jing Wenhao. Waiting for Jing Wenxi to stab, one sword after another, the blood that flowed out stained the man's black clothes even deeper.

When Jing Wenxi saw the corpse, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Although he hadn't seen it himself, he had a strong feeling that the sword holes were all made by Jing Wenhao.

"Huang, brother Huang, is this?" Jing Wenxi asked stammeringly.

"The dead soldier sent by Jing Wenzhao. It's a pity that he died just after getting some clues." Jing Wenhao stood up while speaking, picked up the sword next to him and stabbed it again, and then grabbed the handkerchief on the table , wiped the blood on the sword, and smiled strangely: "Exactly one hundred and three."

"Brother Huang, why?" Jing Wenxi felt that Jing Wenhao was unfamiliar these days, and this feeling reached its peak at this time. He never knew that Jing Wenhao had such a violent side.

"Why did you kill him? Or why was it so cruel?" Jing Wenhao glanced at Jing Wenxi, then sat back on the chair silently. "Bring the others in for me, too."

Li Yong responded and brought two more people in.

"Brother Huang, who are these people?" Jing Wenxi knew who these people were, but he didn't know what Jing Wenhao meant at this moment.

"Your third brother is an informant in Dali Temple. I didn't know that your brother is really good, but this hand actually reached into the palace."

The two trembled and knelt on the ground, they had already been tortured, and life would be worse than death, and seeing Jing Wenxi again, they dared not speak out.

"Li Yong, take this dead man out for me, chop it up and feed it to the dogs, and don't keep a piece of it." When Jing Wenhao said this, it seemed that he was talking about an ordinary thing. There was no wave in his tone, but he was scared Seeing the people around, even Li Yong was shocked, he couldn't imagine that the emperor in front of him was the one who was so tender to his younger brother before.

"I obey the order." Li Yong still ordered the dead man to be taken down.

"It's already three o'clock, and I have to go to court tomorrow, so I'll go back to the palace first, brother, I will leave the rest to you." Jing Wenhao got up again, and walked to Jing Wenxi to look with him.

"Brother Huang, don't worry. Brother Huang, take care of your health. I will do my best to investigate this matter clearly." Jing Wen was relieved when he heard that Jing Wenhao was about to hand over the man to him.

Jing Wenhao walked out coldly, and when he brushed shoulders with Jing Wenxi, he stopped and said, "If you don't want to do it, just chop it up and feed it to the dog."

After Jing Wenhao finished speaking, he left without waiting for Jing Wenxi's reply.

On the way back to the palace, Jing Wenhao made people hurry up, the heartache when he saw that person just now deeply stimulated him, at this moment he just wanted to hold Li Xi in his arms, to let himself know that that person was really still by his side.
