In the prison of the Criminal Department, Gu Yanshan and Gu Yu sat directly opposite.

Shi Qingqing held the pen and wanted to speak several times, but it ended with a sigh.

Jing Yi on the side thought that she had just arrived and had not yet learned how to try the case, so she couldn't help but step forward and asked in a low voice, "Qing'er, why don't you let me interrogate?" ”

Shi Qingqing's palms trembled, and the pen fell in love for a long time before falling.

He shook his head slightly, met Gu Yanshan's somewhat evasive gaze, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want to go out of the city?" ”

"Yanshan's grandmother is sick, far away in Luohe, I can't take leave because of government affairs, so I asked Yanshan to go back for me to do her filial piety." Master Gu sat aside and answered for her.

Shi Qingqing didn't lift it when he read it, wrote down the words of Gu Yu, and said to the jailer on the side: "First ask Master Gu to go around the Criminal Department." ”

The jailer refused to obey the order of Master Qingqing, bowed down to Gu Yu's side, and made a salute.

Gu Yu's old face was very tense, as if he didn't expect Shi Qingqing to be so unsympathetic, he looked at Yan Shan who was full of tears, and said stiffly: "Emperor Ji, Yan Shan is young......

"No matter how young you are, you always have the ability to talk about yourself, right?" Shi Qingqing interrupted Gu Yu's words, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, and Gu Yanshan seemed to have a sneering meaning.

"Diji, I've been a classmate with you for three years, how can you be so ruthless?" Gu Yanshan couldn't help but complain.

Shi Qingqing was not in a hurry, dipped the pen heavily in ink, and suppressed the words in his heart that he couldn't help but ask her how she could do anything to Ruoyan, Uncle Zai's father had told her that she couldn't handle the case with personal feelings, otherwise she would lose her judgment. "I'm just asking you something, what are you nervous about? Gu Yanshan. ”

"I ......" Gu Yanshan was choked by Shi Qingqing's face flushed, and she looked more and more empty.

Gu Yu sighed, arched his hand at Jing Yi and said, "Grand Master Jing, please be able to assist Emperor Ji a lot on the side." I couldn't have said this more bluntly.

As soon as he saw that Shi Qingqing's face was as usual, he responded, "Don't worry, Lord Gu, you and your father are colleagues, and my father has also said many times, 'You can rest assured that Lord Gu is above the court', so how can Jing Yi disregard the courtesy of his uncle and nephew." ”

Gu Yu understood in his heart that Jing Yi said that if he was indeed suspected of covering up, he would definitely stand on Shi Qingqing's side, but he believed that his daughter, although she was a little arrogant on weekdays, would not do such a thing that would ruin her conscience.

"In this way, then thank you to the eldest prince, Yanshan, waiting for you outside for your father, you tell the truth, I believe that the emperor will be able to return your innocence."

Gu Yanshan knew that there was no other way at this time, so she had to answer in a low voice, and her hands kept circling around the handkerchief.

"Answer my question." Shi Qingqing still bowed her head to record, what she didn't know was that at this time, she looked like she was very similar to when her father Ao interrogated Xi's childhood.

Even Jing Yi on the side was shocked by the momentum that Shi Qingqing exuded at this time, not to mention Gu Yanshan, who was so panicked.

"I... My grandmother is sick, and I went to visit her......" Gu Yanshan remembered what her father had just said, and couldn't help repeating it.

"Your grandmother is far away in Luohe, but you only brought a maid, and she is still a martial artist, and there are not too many clothes on the carriage, even if you plan to relocate at your grandmother's house, then on the way, you don't change your clothes?"

A lady who goes out with so little salute and a simple entourage can only explain two reasons, one is that the time is tight and does not want to attract attention, and the other is that the place where she goes is not far away.

"As far as I know, the Gu family has a house by the Liuhe River outside the city, and you often go to live with your mother, so you must be there this time, right?" As the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, if Shi Qingqing hadn't stopped her this time, he didn't expect her to hide under his nose.

As soon as she remembered that someone had whispered in her ear for a long time, she was explaining these things, but this style of acting was a bit like Xia Han back then, and it was handed over by a master in the end.

After nodding his head, he was also interested in this case, and wanted to see Shi Qingqing interrogate him like this and find out.

Gu Yanshan, who was said to be the center of Shi Qingqing's thoughts, was still stiff-mouthed, "I don't know what you're talking about, will Di Ji be too delusional and speculate, don't you have to pay attention to evidence in everything?" Your seventh brother is not here, and you can't insult his punishment department like this, right? ”

Insult? Ho –

However, Shi Qingqing was not so easily provoked, and asked rhetorically: "Your grandmother is Guigeng this year?" ”

"Two out of eighty."

Shi Qingqing nodded, but he lived a long life, "Why don't I repair a book and let your grandmother go to Beijing?" ”

"You ......" is not only a long way into Beijing, but at such an age, even if you are not sick, you will have a serious illness.

After a snort, he laughed, thinking that Shi Qingqing had some evidence, but he didn't want to be a trick.

But Shi Qingqing and Gu Yanshan both looked at themselves, so they had to cover their faces and cough a few times to cover up the matter.

Shi Qingqing turned around and continued to ask, "Have you ever seen Ruoyan?" ”

"Nope." is different from Fang Cai's answer, very crisp, but his eyes are looking out the window.

In this way, it is more and more suspicious.

"But someone saw you arguing with Ruoyan at the city gate." Shi Qingqing was as plain as water, "How do you explain this?" ”

Gu Yanshan swallowed her saliva, her neck couldn't help but shrink back, her eyes still didn't dare to look at Shi Qingqing and Jing Yiyi, "I don't go out much, how can others recognize me, I must be wrong." ”

Shi Qingqing didn't speak again, and the pen didn't move again, so silent for a long time, the mournful screams of the prisoners in the distance became clearer and clearer, as if they were in their ears, and even the appearance of those people when they were tortured, life was worse than death, which made people shudder.

Shi Qingqing's voice sounded at this moment, without a trace of waves, but it was more like a ghost who came to ask for his life, "Gu Yanshan, I'll give you one last chance, otherwise, the prison of the Criminal Department is not called in vain." ”

Needless to say, Gu Yanshan could also hear from this cry how all the torture tools in the criminal department were.

"You... You don't want to bend into a move. Gu Yanshan finally dropped her gaze back, looking at Shi Qingqing with more fear in her eyes, maybe she couldn't tell whether Shi Qingqing's words were a threat or a statement.

"I haven't done anything, you dare to abuse lynching, I'm going to find my father." Gu Yanshan was stopped by a jailer.

"Dog minion, get out of the way." Gu Yanshan saw that Shi Qingqing behind her did not speak, and shouted more and more.

At this time, Jing Yi came to Shi Qingqing's side and said in a low voice: "If you use torture, I'm afraid that Master Gu won't be so easy to talk about again, and if you make trouble with the emperor, you may not be able to get benefits." ”

Gu Yu is the secretary of the ministry, the head of the six departments, in charge of the transfer, appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, transfer, and awarding of all officials in the court and even the entire Northern Xia, as if he was the emperor's right-hand man.

Shi Qingqing has never had a disagreement with the emperor on government affairs until now, although he loves it, but if it involves the country, how can he be accommodating?

Shi Qingqing didn't dare to bet.

"Don't worry, there is a master from Ximi in the Criminal Department, this person does not need to use torture to interrogate the truth in his sleep and when he is defenseless."

After speaking, he smiled at Jingyi's 'flattery', go, help me get her.

After pursing her lips, she sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't expect Shi Qingqing to have this hand, and she really couldn't be underestimated. Even though he thought so, he still did as he said, and by the way, Gu Yanshan's dumb hole was also pointed, so as to prevent him from recruiting Master Gu and avoid too much trouble.

Master Xi Mi followed, dyed the snow flowing robe, but the whole face was covered, leaving only a pair of dark and waveless eyes, like a monstrous wave, and like a plain and waveless flowers blooming colorful, as if in an endless rotation, people involuntarily follow the ...... A jailer whispered a reminder from the side: Don't look her eyes.

Shi Qingqing and Jing Yi hurriedly moved away, only to realize that they had almost fallen in, and their brains were still buzzing.

The master first saluted Shi Qingqing and Jing, "In Xia Bingnian, meet Emperor Qingqing and the eldest prince of Jing." The voice seemed to have not spoken for many years, muffled and dull, like a rusty subway that had suddenly separated.

Shi Qingqing returned the salute after learning from the master's appearance, and someone should have explained this behavior to her, so she didn't say more, but said: "It's hard work." ”

Bing Nian nodded, and then sat opposite Gu Yanshan, but he didn't just look at it, his hands kept dancing, like a colorful snake, and his eyes looked directly at Gu Yanshan with a faint green glow.

Gu Yanshan's body suddenly fell down as soon as she softened, Shi Qingqing and Jing Yi glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that this person's eyes were even more powerful than they imagined.

"You can ask now." After speaking, Bing Nian retreated to the side, closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he had exhausted his great strength.

Shi Qingqing did not doubt that he had him, and began to ask her about the beginning of Ruoyan.

"Why did you go out of town?"

"To escape."

"What did you do to run for your life?"

"Because Ruoyan is dead."

"You killed you?"

"No... No. ”

Hearing this, Shi Qingqing couldn't help frowning, is this accurate? Why did Gu Yanshan say that she didn't kill her?

Seeing Shi Qingqing hesitating, he asked for her, "Why did you quarrel with Ruoyan at the city gate?" ”

"She said that the son of the Xie family and I were married not because they liked me at all, but because of my father's position."

Xie Ting hired the Gu family at the beginning of the year, and since then he has been set as an in-law, Xie Ting has not been as good as a year in the past few years, what Ruoyan said is not wrong, Gu Yanshan just can't see herself clearly.

At least until now, no one from the Xie family has come forward, which is enough to see that this marriage is just a family interest.

"Then do you know why Ruoyan went to Dumen Academy."

"I don't know." After speaking, Gu Yanshan was a little painful, her body kept twisting, and she muttered softly, as soon as Bing Nian saw Gu Yanshan's situation, she came over and ordered several big points for her, and her hands were knotted, as if it was a formation that had been cast by the solution.

"Emperor Ji, Miss Gu is too weak to be interrogated, otherwise she will be worried about her life."

Shi Qingqing nodded, instructed the jailer to call a mother-in-law to come over and take care of her, and after sending someone to inform Lord Gu, he and Jing Yi went out of the punishment department.

"Do you think she's telling the truth?" Shi Qingqing asked.

The two of them walked in the East Market on the periphery of the Criminal Department, it was already nightfall, the lanterns were hung high, and the lines printed on Jingyi's face became softer and softer, as if they were people in the painting, attracting pedestrians on the road to stop and look.

Jing Yi didn't seem to know anything about this qiē, and after thinking about it, he said: "It may be true or false, after all, there are exceptions to everything." ”

Shi Qingqing nodded in agreement.

After turning his head to look, Shi Qingqing's face couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face under the illumination of the lights, so he said: "I'll send you back to the house first, let Mama Lu prepare a medicinal bath bubble for you, and I'll pick you up at the Shi'er Mansion early tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as Jing Jing said this, Shi Qingqing seemed to feel that his legs were filled with lead, and he was no longer reckless, and was sent back to the house by Jing Yi. R1152
