(Two more!) ）

Just as Lin Shiqian and Qin Yi were about to take a step back, the gate of the Jingzhao Mansion was opened, and the soldiers of the Jingzhao Mansion came in with a crowd.

It was a middle-aged man with a white face and a dusty hand in his hand. This person, Lin Shiqian and Qin Yi both recognized, they often saw this person outside the gate of Zichen Palace, this is Liu Zhi, the seventh rank in the palace.

Liu Zhi came at this time, did the emperor have any orders? Lin Shiqian and Qin Yi glanced at each other, and a sense of foreboding surged in their hearts: Isn't it, the emperor wants to know about the bloody case outside the city gate? Or, did the emperor already know about Qin Ji's existence?

Qin Yi's heart suddenly beat hard. He was afraid, he was afraid that Liu Zhi came for Qin Ji, once Qin Ji was brought to the emperor, it would mean that Qin Ji's departure from Leizhou could no longer be concealed. Your Majesty, what will you do with it? Will the Chengguo Mansion be convicted for this?

Thinking of this, Qin Yi gave Lin Shiqian a look, meaning to let Lin Shiqian cover up the matter, otherwise, the descendants of the Lin family would not be protected.

Lin Shiqian understood what Qin Yi meant, worried about his children and grandchildren, and nodded invisibly.

Liu Zhi leaned on the dust, as if he didn't see the eyes of Qin and Lin interacting, but said in a shrill voice: "The emperor has an edict to order Lord Yin to take Qin Shizi into the palace immediately." ”

After he said that, he looked up at the two of them, as if he had just seen Qin Yi, and bent down to express his invitation. Although he is an internal servant, he is ranked, and he serves in front of Zichen Palace, and at this time he comes to announce the decree, which represents Emperor Chongde, and his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.

Hearing his words, Lin Shiqian's heart "chuckled". I feel that the lives of my children and grandchildren are in danger. He hurriedly squeezed out a smile, quickly stuffed a silver ingot into Liu Zhi's sleeve, and then said dryly: "The emperor has an edict, and this official does not dare to follow it." It's just that there has never been a Qin Shizi in the Jingzhao Mansion, and Qin Shizi is in Leizhou......"

Before he could finish his words, he felt a sinking in his sleeves. He couldn't even see Liu Zhi's movements clearly, the silver ingot he had just sent out was back. Liu Zhi did not accept his silver ingots, which means that the emperor must see people.

Lin Shiqian's smile hung on his face. I can't take it back and I can't laugh anymore. He couldn't help but glance at Qin Yi. I thought to myself that this was going to be difficult.

Qin Yi's eyes became darker and darker, he took a step forward and approached Liu Zhi, and was about to say something, when he saw Liu Zhi show a smile. This smile seemed to be insightful. Tell Sù Qin and Lin plainly, don't talk nonsense. He came to Jingzhao Mansion. It was to bring Qin Ji into the palace.

The words Qin Yi wanted to say choked in his throat. Then, he heard Liu Zhi say, "Lord Lin, the emperor is already aware of the bloody case outside the city gate. There were tiger soldiers who saw Qin Shizi with their own eyes. Please Lord Lin quickly take Qin Shizi into the palace. If the emperor blames him, the slave will also be punished. ”

His words were not cheerful, but the threat in them was fully revealed. An internal servant, of course, will not offend the Jingzhao Mansion and Chengguo Gong, he will say this, which shows that the emperor has such an attitude.

The emperor's attitude is to see Qin Ji, and he can't be pushed!

As if to strengthen this effect, Liu Zhi smiled at Lin Shiqian again and said, "Lord Lin, what the emperor wants to see is Qin Shizi, not anyone else. Don't make a mistake about it. ”

Hearing this, Lin Shiqian trembled a little. Originally, he wanted to exchange Qin Ji with other death row inmates. In this way, not only can you give an account to the emperor, but you can also compromise with Qin Yi in exchange for the safety of your family.

But Liu Zhi's attitude, or the emperor's intention, made him dispel this idea. He did not dare to commit the crime of deceiving the king; But he couldn't afford to protect his family. Now, what to do?

Lin Shiqian hesitated, and did not respond to Liu Zhi's words for a long time. Qin Yi on the side closed his lips tightly and let Lin Shiqian deal with the palace alone.

After the panic, Qin Yi figured it out. As long as Lin Shiqian is determined, it is not Qin Ji who survives the bloody case but another person, what can the emperor do? Even if it is a crime, it is also a crime to cure Lin Shiqian. He didn't care how Lin Shiqian responded, in short, he would never let Qin Ji enter the palace!

Lin Shiqian gritted his teeth, and was about to insist that Qin Ji was not in the Jingzhao Mansion, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a middle-aged jailer appearing at the door, and made a posture of wiping his neck.

This jailer is his cronies. What this posture meant, Lin Shiqian instantly understood. Wiping his neck, this is to say that Qin Ji of the No. 3 prison can't stand it, and his life is short!

It's not long in life! ——These four words hit Lin Shiqian's heart hard, all kinds of thoughts filtered through his mind, he quickly judged the shape of the moment, and he also knew very well what he should do.

He had already reached the words on his lips, and changed his words: "This official respectfully obeys the emperor's instructions." This official did bring Qin Shizi back to Jingzhao Mansion. It's just that Qin Shizi was injured and now has difficulty moving, so please wait for a while. ”

When he said this, he decided to send Qin Ji to the palace. Hearing him say this, Qin Yi was immediately dumbfounded, and then said angrily: "Lin Shiqian! ”

Calling Lin Shiqian's name is a threat and a warning. Could it be that Lin Shiqian disregards his family? And Lin Shiqian said that he was injured, and when the dead man left, his son was fine, how could he be injured?

How did Qin Yi know how frightened Lin Shiqian was at the moment? If Qin Ji is not handed over, when Qin Ji dies, he will offend the emperor and Qin Yi at the same time; If Qin Ji is handed over and protected by the emperor, his family may be saved!

The more Lin Shiqian thought about it, the more he felt that it was very appropriate to send Qin Ji into the palace. No matter what, Qin Ji can't die in Jingzhao Mansion!

Thinking like this, Lin Shiqian was even more anxious than Liu Zhi, and he hurriedly said: "This official will take Qin Shizi into the palace." Grandpa Guo, I'm sorry! ”

This sentence "I'm sorry", he said it thoughtlessly, but Liu Zhi and Qin Yi both thought they understood, thinking that Lin Shiqian was afraid of the emperor, so he had to hand over Qin Ji.

Qin Ji's eyes were like eagles and falcons at Lin Shiqian, but Lin Shiqian only gave him an apologetic look, and hurriedly entered the inner hall. (God knows why Lin Shiqian apologizes!) ）

Liu Zhi was confused by Lin Shiqian's actions, and when he saw Qin Yi's angry appearance, he said: "It's about Qin Shizi, please ask Grandpa Guo to also hand over a note to the palace." ”

Hand over a note, of course, a note to see. The emperor did not summon Qin Yi, and of course Liu Zhi would not take him into the palace. This sentence can be regarded as Liu Zhi's kind reminder.

Qin Yi didn't thank Liu Zhi, as a grandfather of the country, he was not used to thanking him. Moreover, there was a sudden pain in his heart, and he couldn't even speak, so he stiffened like this.

He thought that his heart disease had been committed again, so he held on, wanting to wait for Lin Shiqian to send Qin Ji out. However, he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not Qin Ji himself, but Qin Ji's death. (To be continued......)
