So Youran

Fortunately, the imperial guards knew how to measure. Although they were arresting people according to the order, they did not do anything other than tie them up. Even so, the arrest of Qi Feng and Youran also attracted crowds on the street. Feng first got married suddenly, and soon lost his wife. Today, he was arrested at the same time as the legendary beauty wife.For a while, the street was filled with people watching the excitement, some were whispering, some were struggling to see beauties, and some were playing with children. No one noticed the surprised expression and murmurs of an old woman in a strange dress, and then And quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The two were taken to the study room, the emperor sat behind the desk, the empress dowager sat next to him, Prime Minister Xie and the head of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs were there, it seemed that they were all summoned by Prime Minister Xie.

Both Qi You knelt down and kowtowed.

The calm expressions of the two made those who wanted to embarrass them nervous.The emperor didn't mean to be angry at all, but looked at the two kneeling people below with a smile on his lips.

The emperor looked at the anxious faces of the people on both sides, and then paused for a while before saying: "Qi Feng, I have two memorials here, both of which are aimed at you two. Guess what you see?"

The empress dowager looked at the emperor with dissatisfaction, how could the news she threw to him not anger him?Or is he just the calm before the rage?Her eyes just met the eyes of the emperor, the empress dowager suddenly felt a chill down her back, was it her own illusion?Why do you want to see hatred?When she blinked and looked again, the emperor was no longer looking at her, which made her secretly relieved.

Qi Feng lowered his head slightly and said: "Excuse me, I'm stupid, I don't know why the two of us were tied up to see the emperor."

The emperor looked at Xie Xiang beside him and said: "He doesn't know yet, why don't you tell him?"

Xie Xiangle was glad to have the opportunity to speak in person.He said deeply, "Master Qi, do you remember what you said about your wife's fraudulent death in the main hall of the other palace?"

"remember."

"The emperor is magnanimous and has no punishment. You are limited to one month to find the so-called secret organization you mentioned. This month is coming soon, do you have any news about them?"

"Yes, but not yet."

"Hey, it's not that the time has not come, but that there is no such organization at all."

Qi Feng raised his brows and looked at Xie Pang waiting for him to continue talking.

"The day before yesterday, my master Mu Ping happened to pass by the courtyard mentioned before, and inadvertently heard something, that is, the courtyard used to live in this family, a family of three, and they lived very well. I don't know why. Moved away suddenly, the day before the move was the day before Biwu. Do you think this is too coincidental?"

Qi Feng said: "It's a bit of a coincidence. Did this family happen to be discovered by your master?"

Xie Xiang said angrily: "My master discovered this secret, but he disappeared as a result. Originally, we went to look for the master, but we didn't expect to find the missing family. It's just that they have become icemen."

You Ran raised her head in amazement, and looked at the relaxed look Xie Xiang said.

Qi Feng gently took Youran's hand, and then asked: "Since they are Icemen, how do you know they lived in that yard before?"

"Naturally, I have verified it with the neighbors in the yard, and the witnesses are already waiting outside the temple."

Qi Feng said: "It seems that my first crime of deceiving the emperor is solidly proved. I don't know what the second crime is?"

Xie Xiang sneered and said: "In front of the ironclad evidence, you can still be so calm, I really admire you."

The Empress Dowager said: "If he wasn't so good at acting, how could he have deceived the Emperor? Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

The emperor smiled faintly and did not speak.

Xie Xiang went on to say: "This second crime is thanks to the Ministry of Punishment."

Shen Daren, the head of the criminal department, said: "A few days ago, several families were stolen one after another. When our police were looking for the thief, they caught a woman with a lot of jewels on her body. After careful investigation, she turned out to be the maid of the dance music workshop. .This matter is related to the palace, so it was reported to the Prime Minister."

The Empress Dowager said: "Master Xiang came to me and said that he was afraid of making a mistake, so he asked me to help check. I sent someone to the dance music workshop, and found that there was indeed a maid missing there, and the maid was tortured. It was recruited, and it was said that on the day of the dance competition, the dancer who was supposed to participate in the competition ate something that caused diarrhea. And the person who instigated her was Master Qi from the Ministry of Rites."

The emperor said: "Qi Feng, it seems that you are brave enough to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor one after another."

Qi Feng said: "Half a month has passed since Biwu, this half month is enough to turn white into black."

The emperor said: "Then you don't plead guilty, the evidence is solid, how do you turn black into white again?"

Qi Feng said: "Today's coincidence is really one after another. Just this morning, I ordered my people to arrest the people of that organization. It should be almost arrested by this time."

The emperor smiled and said: "I just like coincidences. Wu Cai"

Wu Cai stepped forward, and the emperor said: "Go and see if anyone has been arrested. Take those people directly to the Internal Guard and take care of them."

Wu Cai took the order and went out.

The emperor said: "Qi Feng, put aside the first point for now, how do you explain the second point?"

Qi Feng said: "I just think that maid is too stupid, why didn't she just sneak away after the dance, and waited so long to escape?"

Xie Xiang looked at Qi Feng contemptuously and said, "I think you have no other excuses to talk about him."

Qi Feng said: "Since the Prime Minister insisted that I gave the medicine, what is my purpose?"

Xie Xiangdao: "You have spent so much time and effort just to let your wife do meritorious service in full view of everyone."

Qi Feng laughed and said, "My lord, I'm afraid this reason is far-fetched even to you."

The queen mother said: "Now that there are all the witnesses and material evidence, it is useless for you to argue. You should confess your guilt obediently."

The emperor said: "If Qi Feng can be obedient, then he is not Qi Feng."

At this time, Wu Cai came in from the outside and said in front of the emperor: "Report to the emperor, the men of the palace have indeed arrested seven people and they are now overwhelmed by the guards. The imperial guards are heavily guarding them."

Xie Xiang's face was a bit ugly, he never expected that the members of that organization would be caught so easily, the miraculous organization that Mr. Mu said before was actually full of idiots.Originally, he didn't want to give Qi Feng a chance to fight back, but after confirming the criminal evidence, he would be his world in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The emperor was happy, and said: "It seems that the first crime is gone, Empress Dowager, why don't we bring that court lady here, and we can confront him face to face?"

The empress dowager hurriedly said as if grasping at straws: "Your Majesty is wise, come and bring that court lady here." But her heart was beating drums, wondering if this move could reach the end.

After a while, a woman with disheveled hair and bloodstained clothes was brought up.

This woman had obviously been severely tortured, and her whole body was carried up.Qi Feng looked at this woman and frowned.The hatred in Youran's eyes became stronger, unexpectedly, in order to frame Qi Feng, they would waste their lives one after another.

The Empress Dowager asked in a deep voice: "Kneel down as a sinful slave, why don't you tell me the truth about how you administered the medicine?"

The woman kneeling on the ground stood up tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, the servant girl has been wronged!"

As soon as this remark came out, the empress dowager gasped and said: "Bold maidservant, someone will drag her down and serve her severely." After speaking, her voice began to tremble.

The emperor suddenly said loudly: "Empress Dowager, the witness you want to bring, why don't you let her finish the sentence. Or, is it because of a guilty conscience? Afraid that she will tell something ulterior?" The emperor's eyes tightened Staring at the empress dowager, the empress dowager felt her whole body go limp, barely holding herself up to prevent herself from falling down.

The emperor turned his head and said, "Let's talk now, why are you wronged?"

The palace maid hurriedly said: "The maidservant is just a little wash maid, she was tied up for no reason, she was punished for me, and asked me to correct Master Qi. She said that if she didn't obey, even my family members outside the palace would be buried with her. I beg the emperor to save me. "

The empress dowager fainted completely before she finished listening.The maid next to her was about to come up to help her, but the emperor stretched out his hand to stop her and said: "Let her old man rest for a while, there will be fun to watch in a while, how can I miss it?"

At this moment, the few people standing below panicked, Xie Xiang couldn't understand why this woman had the courage to cry out for injustice here.

The emperor said: "It seems that this crime is also a little uncertain. What are you going to do next?"

The Ministry of Criminal Justice said: "Since there is a grievance, we must conduct a thorough investigation to see whether it is true or false."

The emperor looked at Mr. Xie and said, "Mr. Xie, what do you think?"

Xie Xiang suddenly said with a sad face: "I didn't expect someone to be so bold. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. However, the emperor, my master is still missing. It seems that there is more than good luck. Is the matter related to Mr. Qi?" The relationship is still unknown. In order to give an explanation to the dead and missing people. I don’t think I can listen to his one-sided words, so I let him go, and put them in prison first. I will release them after I find out.”

The Empress Dowager, who was pretending to be in a coma, "woke up" and said weakly: "Your Majesty, there are people in the inner courtyard of this palace who can sway witnesses. It's simply too scary."

The emperor smiled and said: "The queen mother also means to close the two of them first?"

The queen mother said: "It's up to the emperor to decide. I just want to find out the matter quickly, otherwise I won't feel at ease living in this palace."

The emperor said: "Well, the Ministry of Criminal Justice ordered you to find out the background of this woman, which one of her confession is true, and which one is false. As for the two of them, Wu Cai, take them to the Chunyi Pavilion in the palace and get up together." , no news exchange with the outside world is allowed. If you have no objection, please step back."

The more Mr. Xie listened, the more wrong he became. There is no reason for the suspect to be locked up in the palace.He was about to say that the emperor had already let them go with his sleeves.Wu Cai was also called the inner prisoner, and the two of them took him out.There were only a few complaints left in the whole study, and the emperor had issued an order to evict the guests, so they didn't dare to stay any longer.

Leaving the study room, Mr. Shen, the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, suddenly felt a lot of pressure. The emperor was clearly leaning towards Qi Feng, and Xie Xiang wanted to kill Qi Feng again.He is caught in the middle, how to deal with it?Seeing that Prime Minister Xie wanted to talk to himself, he was so frightened that he hurriedly saluted and said, "I'm going to investigate the case now, so I'll leave first." He ran away without waiting for Prime Minister Xie to say anything more.

Xie Xiang looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Isn't that woman's family under our control? How dare you reverse the case?"

The queen mother said: "I asked her before I came, and she was obedient. There must be a ghost in it. I will send someone to look at it."

Xie Xiang said: "It's better to see if we can make those two people never leave the palace gate again."

The queen mother nodded and turned to leave.Xie Xiang turned his head to look at the place where the emperor had commented, his heart fluctuated.People in that position are getting harder and harder to grasp.Now I feel that my strength is getting weaker and weaker.But obviously the people around him and his subordinates haven't changed, so what's the problem?
