When Zhang Mingyue heard this, he turned around and bowed slightly to Gonggong Long, which was considered to have won the matter, and then he left the hall with several other adults. Lan Ziyi and several adults kowtowed to the emperor together, and after the adults left, Lan Ziyi also asked Gonggong Long for instructions:

"Father-in-law, Ziyi also retired first."

However, Gonggong Long didn't plan to let Lan Ziyi go, he descended to Lan Ziyi and said:

"Wei Hou don't be in a hurry to leave, there are still some things in our family that we want to hear Wei Hou talk about carefully."

Father-in-law Yu was still accompanying him in front of the royal couch at this time, and when he saw Father-in-law Long stopping Lan Ziyi from leaving, he said:

"Do you think Ziyi was not angry just now? Ziyi followed me that night, what else do you have to doubt? ”

Gonggong Long smiled and turned around to apologize to Gonggong Yu:

"Brother Yu, don't be careful, I don't doubt the meaning of Wei Hou, let alone be dissatisfied with my brother. I just heard Du Jingzhao say that there were other people that night, and I want to ask Wei Hou if there are any clues here. ”

Fair Fish:

"I asked Wei Hou about this, he didn't know what happened on the Green River that night, I thought he did it, but today you have admitted in public that it was you...... If it is clear, then Wei Hou has been disassociated with this matter. ”

Gonggong Long nodded, and he turned to ask Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou really doesn't know about the Green River gunboat?"

Lan Ziyi knew that he had aroused the suspicion of Gonggong Long, and he raised his vigilance with the spirit of twelve, but at the same time, his face froze before, and he replied to Gonggong Long:

"Back to my father-in-law, Ziyi really doesn't know what is going on on the Green River."

Grandpa Long asked again:

"But there are cannons and muskets on the Green River, and such a loud sound is heard throughout the capital, Wei Hou, you were on the street at the time, how could you not know?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Father-in-law, I personally led people to the street that night, and I was already scared, but there were still people under my command who went wrong and were targeted by the city patrol team of Jingzhao Mansion, I wasted all my strength, and I rescued my subordinates with the strength of my Anda, at this time I was exhausted, I just wanted to end the night early, where did I have the heart to take care of other things?"

Grandpa Long did not intend to stop there, he said:

"Then Wei Hou didn't send someone to the Green River to take a look?"

Lan Ziyi groaned when he heard this, he looked up and saw that the questioning look in Gonggong Long's eyes had not faded, so he had to answer:

"I'm sending someone."

Long Gong Justice:

"And what did your people find?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"My people told me that there was an ambush on both sides of the Green River, and told me to leave as soon as possible, and then someone told me that there was a battle on the Green River, and I was on my way to the hiding place, and when I got to the hiding place, I locked the door and never went out."

Gonggong Long did not comment on Lan Ziyi's answer, he looked at Lan Ziyi suspiciously, thinking about the flaws in his words, but after thinking about it, he still didn't find out. At this time, the fish father-in-law on the steps asked:

"Ziyi personally did the dirty work for you, what are you dissatisfied with? Are you a thief in this interrogation? ”

Father-in-law Long hurriedly compensated Father-in-law Yu and said with a smile:

"Brother Yu, the matter on the Green River involves the palace, and it also involves the celebrant and the inner guard, I can't help but think about it too much, I still want to ask the Hou Wei and ask for more news."

Lan Ziyi also said to Father-in-law Yu at this time:

"Father-in-law, since Father-in-law Long is suspicious, then let Father-in-law Long ask clearly, if you have a grudge, how will the Inner Court Celebrant and Taichengwei work together in the future?"

Seeing that Lan Ziyi took the initiative to defend Father-in-law Long, Gonggong Yu had to hold back for the time being, he let out a sullen breath and didn't continue to care, while Gonggong Long said:

"I knew that Wei Hou would take care of the overall situation."

Lan Ziyi arched his hand:

"That's what juniors should do."

So Gonggong Long continued to ask:

"What about the people Wei Hou brought out the night before? Why are so many people not found out when they check in the past few days? ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"I sent them out of town that night?"

Gonggong Long, who had just relaxed his suspicions, heard that Lan Ziyi had let people go, his face was solemn again, and he said:

"It's not appropriate for Wei Hou to release people at this juncture."

Lan Ziyi arched his hand:

"Back to my father-in-law, this time I am looking for all the ruffians and hooligans in the capital, these things have no character, and they are not loyal, the only reason for using them is that they are illiterate, and they have no support in Beijing.

Long Gong Justice:

"What is the Weihou going to do with sending them out of the city?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"I will arrange them in the mountains and forests to the south, and let the bandits and thieves co-opt them."

Father-in-law Long said:

"Since they are a group of hooligans, Wei Hou should directly exterminate them, why bother to let them go to the trouble of surrendering to thieves? What should I do if I am caught by the officers and soldiers in the future? ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"They have already surrendered to the thieves, so what they say has no value as testimony, and they don't know what the list they posted is, and the officers and soldiers can't ask anything if they are caught."

Long Gong Justice:

"Why did Wei Hou suddenly show kindness?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Mr. Wenruo is merciful and unwilling to slaughter, and I respect Mr. very much, so I tried my best to keep him alive."

Grandpa Long didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, he only said, "It's not a good habit to be soft-hearted, you have to do things clean next time", and then Grandpa Long changed his words and said:

"Wei Hou, according to what Du Jingzhao said just now, the eunuch who led the fleet was killed by the third wave of people, and if there is an unknown force on the other side, it will not be easy to handle. In addition to the people in Jingzhao Mansion who were in the city that night, there was only Wei Hou, could it be that Wei Hou really didn't have any news of this wave of people. ”

Lan Ziyi knew that he had to give Gonggong Long a reassuring pill to let him let go of this matter, so he raised his head and stared at it with a determined gaze

Long Gong Justice:

"Father-in-law, do you believe me or Xin Duji?"

Grandpa Long smiled:

"Of course I'm a Marquis of Xinwei."

Lan Ziyi shook his head and interrupted Gong Long's justice:

"No, father-in-law, you don't believe me at all, you only believe in Du Ji."

Long Gong Justice:

"What did Wei Hou say about this? I didn't interrogate Wei Hou here because I believed Du Ji. ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"I know that my father-in-law interrogated me because my father-in-law didn't believe me. Because my father-in-law didn't believe me, my father-in-law couldn't help but believe Du Ji's nonsense. ”

Gonggong Long didn't answer when he heard this, he only stared at Lan Ziyi, motioned for him to continue, and only listened to Lan Ziyi continue:

"Father-in-law, I went to the scene that Du Yi said that night, at that time, Du Jing had already led a large number of people and horses, together with Father-in-law Yu and Taichengwei, all of them were there, so many people walked back and forth, the footprints of the scene had long been stepped on blurred, why did he Du Ji insist that a third party stepped on it in the past? I was brought to the scene, Du Jing grabbed me by the collar and asked me if I was the one who killed him, I said no, and then Grandpa Yu asked me if I fired the cannon, and I could only say no, I knew that I was the only one walking around the street with people that night, so I couldn't clear my suspicion, but this is not an excuse for everyone to talk about me. ”

Father-in-law Yu interjected at this time:

"I no longer suspect Ziyi when I fished the boat up from the Green River, his family doesn't have Hongyi cannons, and they don't use shotguns, and it's more credible to say that the people on the gunboat are the Qi family's army than the Beizhen army."
