Gu Qi didn't know that Qin Xuli came to find him, but he could probably guess what the other party wanted to say, and it must be related to this case, otherwise he would not have come to him at such a juncture.

But what surprised Gu Qi was that for some reason the other party made this decision.

"I..." Before Xu Yihua could speak, Qin Xuli suddenly heard Xu Yihua whisper, "Someone is here."

Gu Qi's eyes were fixed, and he followed Xu Yihua's line of sight, only to see Feng Kejie walking quickly not far ahead, his eyes fixed on this side.

Qin Xuli paused, stepped back, and said with a smile, "Why did Mr. Feng come here?"

"The imperial envoy said that the prisoner will be interrogated today, so I naturally came to ask the imperial envoy to come over." Feng Kejie had a half-smile on his face. He glanced at the Qin servant and didn't say anything, but there was a warning in his eyes. Very strong.

"It seems that, Mr. Feng, you are more anxious about the interrogation of the prisoner than this imperial envoy. Sending someone to urge you is not enough, and even Mr. Feng came here in person." With these words, Qin Xuli easily walked out of the room. This matter was picked up, Qin Xuli was slightly startled, and gave Gu Qi a grateful glance calmly.

"Really." Feng Kejie's complexion softened a little, and he stretched out his hand to feint, "In that case, I would like to invite the imperial envoy to go to the courtroom with the lower officials."

However, Gu Qi wanted to shake his head and said: "Master Feng, the imperial envoy originally thought that you were too busy with business affairs in the government office and would not have time to deal with such trivial matters, so I wanted to help you share one or two things, but now you are naturally busy with your affairs. There is no need for Mr. Feng to stand aside for such trivial matters as the interrogation of prisoners."

"This..." Feng Kejie frowned slightly.

"Could it be that my lord is afraid that those little thieves who are just sneaking around will say something that shouldn't be said?" Gu Qi asked nonchalantly.

Feng Kejie smiled and said: "How is it possible, since the imperial envoy insists on this, then the lower officials will not accompany you."

He expected that the group of miners would not say anything else, everyone was under their own control, what could be wrong with mere questions, since Gu Qi wanted to be interrogated, let him do it.

Thinking about this, Feng Kejie bowed his hands and said: "Then I will retire first."

"Go, go." Gu Qi waved his hand like a pushover.

When we arrived at the courtroom, the servants on both sides had already stood up majestically. Gu Qi sat behind the case, held a gavel in his hand, and tapped lightly: "Take the prisoner!"

"My lord... There are nearly a hundred prisoners, do you want to bring them all to the court?"

Gu Qi nodded: "Naturally."

It must be very spectacular to bring so many prisoners to the court together.Gu Qiguang thought about it, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Hui Qi shuddered, looking at the smile on Gu Qi's mouth, he felt cold in his heart, wondering who was going to be unlucky again.

There are quite a lot of nearly a hundred prisoners, and they are held in various cells. It will take a lot of time to gather them all together and bring them to court. Fortunately, Gu Qi is not in a hurry, but he and Xu Yihua Huiqi While chatting, they waited for the yamen servant to bring the prisoner in.

After more than half an hour, the outside gradually became bustling with people's voices, and the noisy voices floated into the courtroom.It must be that there were too many prisoners for interrogation at one time, and the people of Jeju came forward to watch.

As the noise gradually increased, the crowd was slowly moving towards the yamen, and after a while, the sound of chains being dragged could be heard, and soon, they all joined together.

Several jailers appeared first, quickly entered the government office, and stood on both sides, followed by the prisoners. The prisoners were divided into two teams, and came in from the door one by one, in order.They were wearing white prison uniforms, with iron shackles on their hands and feet, and they could hear the sound of ding ding when they walked.

The courtroom is not too big, so naturally it is impossible for all these people to come in, only some of them kneel in the courtroom, while most of the rest of the prisoners kneel in the yard outside the hall, a yard full of kneeling.

"My lord, bring all the prisoners here."

Gu Qi nodded, did not speak, just stood up, walked out from behind the court case slowly, he stood with his hands behind his back, and made a full circle from the courtroom to the courtyard.

He was dressed in a cloth shirt and Tsing Yi, and his tall and straight figure was extraordinarily energetic. He was born with an imposing manner. When he was silent and silent, a kind of atmosphere of a yamen servant quietly flowed among the prisoners, teaching everyone to be bold. Don't dare to breathe.

"How many prisoners in total?" Gu Qi said slowly.

His voice was extremely serious, and every word carried a forceful aura, which made the prisoner's forehead sweat instantly: "Reply, return to the imperial envoy, there are nine to 93 prisoners in total."

"Oh?" Gu Qi tilted his head and glanced at him, "Then why are there only 92 people here? Do you still want to deceive this imperial envoy!" is a threat.

The jailer wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, but he was shocked. He had somehow told the truth just now, and now he could only try to remedy it: "The villain made a mistake, it's probably 92..."

He was depressed in his heart, the other party was silent for a long time and just turned around here and there. He thought that the other party was just pretending to be mysterious, but who knew that he was counting people. Now I don't know if the imperial envoy will doubt it, and if he blames it ...

The jailer was thinking wildly, and fearing that he might unknowingly tell the truth, he put all his energy into paying attention to Gu Qi's movements all the time.I saw Gu Qi turned around, swayed into the prisoners again, randomly selected the prisoners and asked a few questions.

Moreover, he found that the questions the imperial envoy asked were simply irrelevant, such as asking the prisoner how old he was, where he lived, whether he had a wife or daughter at home, and how he was treated in the cell.This kind of question really confuses him.

After asking only five or six people, the imperial envoy asked, "Have these people been recorded?"

The cell boss guessed that there would be such a question, so he got ready early. He nodded quickly, took out a thin booklet from his arms and handed it to Gu Qi respectfully: "Master Imperial Envoy, this is Record the books of these prisoners."

The booklet was not thick, it was made for this group of prisoners, it was not recorded together with the original ones, the cell boss did not cheat, he just gave the original book to Gu Qi, he thought there was nothing good about it Those who are fake are suspicious of the convenience and can't find any evidence, so they submit it with confidence and boldness.

"This is the original?"

"Yes, Mr. Imperial Envoy."

"Oh——" Gu Qi stretched his voice, turned around and sat back on the case, put the booklet on the case, opened it casually with one hand and glanced at it, and took the teacup aside with the other hand, who knows that the cuff Not long-eyed, he knocked the teacup over, and the tea in it poured out immediately, and all of it was poured on the booklet.

"Ah!!!" The prison chief let out a scream, and jumped forward violently, as if the booklet could be rescued in this way, "I don't have a copy..."

The corner of Gu Qi's mouth evoked a faint smile, which was fleeting, and said regretfully, "It's a pity."

He stretched out two fingers to pinch a corner of the dripping booklet and lifted it up, with a regretful expression on his face: "The writing on this is all glued together."

"My brochure..." The prison chief reminded with a sad face.

"It's not that the imperial envoy said you're not good." Gu Qi shook his head, with a look of resentment, "If you buy some good paper and pens on weekdays, your handwriting will definitely not be blurred by pouring water. Tell me, it's strange. who!"

The warden was in a trance: "Blame me..."

"Okay." Gu Qi coughed, "Fortunately, the brochure is gone, you just need to go back and write your name again."

The warden gradually regained his composure, and decided to let his subordinates do this, which relieved his depressed mood a little: "Yes, Mr. Imperial Envoy."

Throwing the booklet aside casually, Gu Qi waved his hand: "Okay, the imperial envoy is done asking, you guys go down."

It is simply inexplicable!The cell boss watched Gu Qi gritted his teeth, pulled so many prisoners over and questioned him without knowing what to say, and then destroyed the booklet he wrote himself, and then asked them to take them back. I really don't know what this person is doing!

Although he thought so in his heart, he still bowed and said, "The villain will leave."

The prisoners turned around, lined up again, and slowly filed out of the door dragging the heavy iron shackles.

As the prisoners left one by one, the courtroom became quiet again, and the noisy sounds outside gradually faded away, and the former silence was restored here.

The departure of the prisoner did not mean that Gu Qi had also left. He was still sitting idly behind the case, with his back straight, one hand on the case, and the other gently shaking the newly replaced tea in the cup.

That appearance is elegant and leisurely, so unrestrained.

But what puzzled Huiqi was that his gesture seemed to be waiting for something.

Hui Qi turned her head around, looking at Xu Yihua, who was sitting aside with a smile on her lips from time to time looking at Gu Qi, and Gu Qi, who was pretending to close the curtain and dozed off. She really didn't understand what the two of them were doing.

"You have something to hide from me." Huiqi was unhappy.

"Just wait and see." Gu Qi didn't even open his eyes.

Gu Qi hadn't left yet, so the yamen servants on both sides naturally didn't dare to leave. Seeing Gu Qi's posture at this time, they all felt puzzled, but they didn't dare to complain, so they could only stay there obediently.

As the hours passed, Huiqi began to fidget. She twisted back and forth on the chair, unable to calm down at all.

"Wait for another cup of tea." Gu Qi said lightly.

The time for a cup of tea soon passed, Gu Qi opened his eyes, sat up straight, and cast his gaze into the distance: "Here we come."

Everyone was puzzled and followed Gu Qi to look at the gate.

Sure enough, a person rushed in from outside, it was the cell boss who was talking to Gu Qi, ran in at this time, sweating profusely and panting, and was about to speak, but found that everyone around him was in a strange state look at yourself.

He looked uncomfortable with this gaze, as if there was something weird about him, he wanted to ask, but he was thinking about something, so he could only ask: "Where are we adults?"

"What's the matter?" Gu Qi tapped his finger on the desk, "Can't you explain something to me?"

The cell boss hesitated for a moment, this matter is of great importance...but it is impossible not to talk about it now.Thinking of this, the prison chief gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, just now that group of prisoners... when they reached the intersection of Dongjie Street, a group of beggars suddenly came rampaging..."

Gu Qi put down the teacup in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "So..."

"The prisoners all ran away!"
