Lost Charm

Seeing He Tong like this, Meng Yingming immediately lost his momentum, and said in a good voice: "I can't help it for a while? Why do you have any objections to He Fuqianhu?"

He Tong put on a look of knowing you, and said: "What did the emperor tell you?"

Yu Chijiong and Qian Jiguang looked at their noses with their noses and their hearts, pretending that they were not there.Sometimes the two of them asked Meng Yingming questions, but due to limited power, Meng Yingming didn't necessarily answer them. However, He Tong was different, and the answers didn't satisfy her. It would definitely not be a problem to burn all your official documents. Meng Yingming ate it a few times After the loss, she usually responds to her questions to the greatest extent.

"Your Majesty... I hope we will stand still."

"Stand still? We've been bullied by the superiors, do we want us to let the other party slap us in the face?" He Tong was so angry that his eyes were red and hot, and smoke began to smoke between his fingers.

"Don't worry about this, I have already warned Master Chi, at least I won't use torture in private." Yu Chijiong spoke to comfort He Tong.

"So you let Xiao Qinqin stay in the Ministry of Justice? Do you know how bad the environment is there?" He Tong's anger turned to Yu Chijiong, thinking that the guy in front of him was definitely a scumbag.At first they were a little wary of Xu Qin, and even suspected that he had a relationship with the snake demon, but after getting along these days, they already knew that they accepted each other unknowingly.

"The most urgent thing right now is to know what the emperor wants to do, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get Xu Qin back. He Fuqianhu, Yuchi Qianhu wants Xu Qin back more than any of us." Qian Jiguang understood Yuchijiong's inner thoughts.

He Tong took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, gave Meng Yingming a bad look, and continued the topic just now: "Sorry, I was too excited. What else did the emperor say?"

Meng Yingming hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The Emperor's goal seems to be the national teacher."

"They have always been at odds, the emperor is going to do something now?" Qian Jiguang was shocked and shocked, but his voice was lower than that of Meng Yingming.

"I mentioned this to Sun Lie yesterday, but he didn't respond, he just said that he would find a way." He Tong originally wanted to ask the national teacher to help Xu Qin, but he couldn't persuade him no matter what.

Yu Chijiong suddenly asked: "Has he not drunk?"

"No, I thought it would be a long wait, but he came out to see me soon."

Yu Chijiong turned to Meng Yingming and said, "Can you take me to the emperor?"

Meng Yingming raised his eyebrows, glanced at Qian Jiguang and He Tong, and they immediately stood up and said goodbye.

"What do you want to say when you dismiss them?"

As a thousand households, Yu Chijiong really couldn't meet the emperor at will, but he is also the person with the highest authority in the underworld, and he can ask to see the emperor in an emergency, of course only Meng Yingming knows about this.

"Sun Lie knows what the emperor wants. If he doesn't bow his head for a day, the emperor won't let him go." Yu Chijiong guessed when he heard that the fox was not drunk, "Ninety percent of the officials thought that the emperor was following them. To settle accounts, only dare to close Xu Qin and dare not touch Xu Qin, before going so far, Sun Lie will not tear himself apart with the emperor."

"He values ​​Xu Qin very much, that's why the emperor took him down." Meng Yingming shook his head helplessly, and said, "We are just pawns between the two of them."

Yuchi was silent for a while, and his voice became hoarse when he spoke again: "When the emperor was still a prince... he seemed to be addicted to male sex. It is said that those people... are somewhat similar, and some people even said that the current empress is also..."

"Yuchi Jiong, be careful! If word gets out, no one can save you!"

Yu Chijiong looked at Meng Yingming's stern expression, and sighed: "I was careless."

Two days later, the three divisions held a joint trial.

The Ministry of Punishments dispatched the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple to represent Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to represent Dali Temple, but the faces of the three of them were not much better, after all, Eunuch Shen and Yu Chijiong sat behind them.The two of them were ordered by the emperor to come to the scene, and they would go to the palace to report later.It would be fine if it was only Eunuch Shen, but Yu Chijiong, who put on an attitude of being at odds with all the officials as soon as he stood up, the three of them didn't know what he was going to say to the emperor.

Only walking steps can be seen.

"Xuan, the prisoner Xu Qin."

As soon as the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs opened his mouth, he heard Yu Chijiong's venomous voice behind him: "Eunuch Shen, why didn't this Qianhu not know that Xu Zongqi is already a prisoner on the board?"

Eunuch Shen cooperated and said, "Our family is not too sure, maybe Master Shangshu just made a mistake."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment turned red and then pale, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only put on an inaudible look, while Dali Siqing and Du Yushi glanced at him, their eyes full of sympathy.

Xu Qin quickly brought him up. With a cold face, when he saw Yu Chijiong winking at him, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Due to previous experience, the imperial envoy even omitted the opening remarks, and said directly: "Xu Qin, you had a meal with Wei Xiuzhuan before he hanged himself, is there such a thing?"

Xu Qin replied, "It is true."

The imperial envoy asked: "Oh? Xu Zongqi and Wei Xiuzhuan have never known each other before. How could he have dinner with Xiuzhuan of the Imperial Academy in embroidered clothes?"

Xu Qin replied with a dull face: "If your lord wants to, Beizhen Fusi will be more than happy to have dinner with you."

Du Yushi's eyes flickered with annoyance, and Yu Chijiong's annoying voice sounded from behind: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, will Du Yushi be willing to have a meal with Ben Qianhu later? I'm sure he won't be happy either." , How can the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate eat with Xiuyi?"

There was a chuckle from Eunuch Shen in the air, and the envoy didn't dare to speak no matter how angry he was.

Seeing that both of them suffered, Dali Temple Minister had no choice but to say: "Mr. Xu, do you know that Mrs. Wang, Wei Xiuzhuan's cook, accused you of murdering Wei Xiuzhuan?"

Xu Qin took a look at the Minister of Criminal Justice and said, "Wei Xiuzhuan committed suicide. The Governor of Beizhen transferred the matter to the Criminal Ministry for handling. I believe they also examined the body. Could it be that Wei Xiuzhuan committed suicide or homicide? The Criminal Ministry can't find out. Relying on the one-sided words of an old woman?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice glared at Xu Qin, he had the guts to say that!These embroidered clothes turned the scene into a mess long ago, and finally notified the Ministry of Punishment to clean up the aftermath. How could they know what happened to the embroidered clothes!

Seeing the Minister of Dali Temple and the Imperial Envoy looking at him, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was unwilling to speak: "The report said that he hanged himself."

Dali Siqing was silent for a while, since he hanged himself, why should he investigate the case?

"Bring Mrs. Wang here, and confront Mr. Xu face to face." Dali Siqing ordered.

Mrs. Wang quickly brought her up, and contrary to Xu Qin's indifferent appearance, her terrified expression made her look more like a prisoner than a witness.

"Mr. Wang, look carefully. Is the man next to you the one who had dinner with Wei Xiuzhuan in your testimony?" The Minister of Punishment's eyes flashed with satisfaction. This is what the punishment hall should look like, Xu Qin's haughty demeanor What are you doing?

Mrs. Wang took a few glances at Xu Qin, and suddenly let out a scream, then kowtowed desperately to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Imperial Envoy, and said, "That's right, it was him! That day my lord ran out suddenly, and the old man chased after him. After getting up, I saw this person, insisting on pestering Mr. Wei to beg for food. Mr. Wei was coughing with anger at that time, so he could only take him back as he wanted. Finally, this person was satisfied and willing to leave. The old man looked at Mr. Wei Weeping, I stepped forward to greet him, but Master Wei said that he would not use it anymore... Afterwards, I heard that Master Wei had passed away, my lord, it is clear that this person forced my lord to death, my lord is clearly on the lookout!"

While listening, Xu Qin couldn't help but touched his face with his hands, but he was in jail for a few days, and his appearance was already frightening, so that other people would scream when they saw it?

"Xu Zongqi, do you have anything to say about this?" The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment asked as if asking Xu Qin to confess his guilt.

"The humble official is willing to bow down to Mrs. Wang's ability to gossip." Xu Qin nodded and said, "At the same time, the humble official has reason to suspect that since Mrs. Wang was the last person to see Wei Xiuzhuan, she was the one who forced Wei Xiuzhuan to death. murderer."

"No! I didn't murder Mr. Wei! Mr. Wei is the official of the court, so I dare not dare! And I have no reason to kill Mr. Wei at all!" Sister-in-law Wang screamed again, as if only the high-pitched voice could prove it her innocence.

Xu Qin is still so indifferent, which is in great contrast to Mrs. Wang's excitement: "Didn't Wei Xiuzhuan fire you? How can you raise your son without income? You already have murderous intentions based on this alone."

son?Yu Chijiong keenly noticed that Eunuch Shen twitched his eyebrows when he heard these two words, while Sister-in-law Wang just rolled her eyes and passed out.

Dali Temple Minister sensed something was wrong, and said to Xu Qin, "She has a son?"

Xu Qin then recounted the events of that day, but didn't mention the Feishan Soul Stone. He only said that Wei Jian lost something and couldn't find it, and bumped into him by accident, so they didn't bump into each other and didn't know each other. After chasing her out, she said her son could run errands for Wei Xiuzhuan."

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment's face darkened, and said to the other two: "For the sake of safety, Mrs. Wang has lived directly in the Ministry of Punishment these days and has not gone back. She has not mentioned her son."

One is that Xu Qin is lying, and the other is that Mrs. Wang's son fell into the hands of unknown people, forcing her to testify against Xu Qin.But just looking at her fainting, it should be that the latter didn't run away.What the three of them were most worried about was that the son was in the hands of the emperor, and no matter how they looked for it, they would definitely not be able to find it.

Eunuch Shen coughed, and said, "Our family has a suggestion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

The Imperial Envoy immediately turned sideways and said, "Eunuch Shen, please speak."

"This matter involves a lot. Our family believes that the next step is to have solid evidence. Since there are doubts about the whereabouts of Mrs. Wang's son, we should first investigate the truth of the matter before trial." When Mr. Shen said this, everyone in the room was divided. have different ideas.

Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment heard that the emperor approved them to find someone.

Dali Siqing heard that the person might have been dealt with, and they would not find him, so the emperor approved them to find him.

The imperial envoy heard that the emperor did not want to settle the case so quickly, and wanted to delay it for a few more days.

Yu Chijiong heard that the emperor's goal was indeed the national teacher, otherwise why would he drag him here.

Everyone had different thoughts, and the only thing they had in common was Eunuch Ying Shen, who said some compliments, and then ordered his subordinates to keep Xu Qin in the cell first, and Mrs. Wang would also be detained in the Ministry of Punishment.

At this time, Xu Qin suddenly said, "I have something to ask Master Shangshu."
