"Bang Bang!"

The iron whip with the hook and thorn struck Yin Zike's body mercilessly, and the white clothes were instantly dyed with red plums.

Yin Zike gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still didn't say a word.

Gu Chengen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his expression was light, but his increasingly pale face made Yue Yunpeng on the side

There are some worries.

"Master, you ......" Yue Yunpeng just opened his mouth, and the words behind him were frightened back by Gu Chengen's cold eyes.

Dozens of whips went down, and there was no good place on Yin Zike's body.

Gu Chengen saw Yin Zike gritting his teeth, and dense fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and suddenly said coldly: "Stop." ”

The jailer who performed the execution had been whipping for so long, and his arm was sore, but Gu Chengen didn't speak just now, and he didn't dare to stop

Get down.

Now that I have the order, I can finally step aside and take a breath.

Gu Chengen stood up, walked slowly in front of Yin Zike, raised his hand to hook his chin, and said quietly: "Grand Duke Yin."

Will the Son still refuse to confess? ”

Yin Zike's face was even more bloodless than Gu Chengen's.

Pulling his lips, his voice trembled slightly: "Zike...... Speechless. ”

Although Hua Qiong was not killed by him, what did he say? What can he say?

Could it be that he was going to tell Gu Chengen that after everyone left at the end of the poetry meeting, Hua Qiong left him on the boat, Lord

Do you seduce yourself with wide clothes and unties?

still told Gu Chengen that he not only rejected Hua Qiong with righteous words. And reprimanded her between words?

The reason why he didn't say it was because the deceased was the greatest, Hua Qiong was a woman, a tall golden branch and jade leaf, and she would do something

If it is made public, then her reputation will be ruined.

Second, if he tells the truth, who will believe him?

Concubine Li must be the first person to run over and cut him with a knife, followed by the old emperor.

Because of Hua Qiong's behavior. Seriously undermined the dignity of the royal family.

In the eyes of others, perhaps this is to throw dirty water on the dead Hua Qiong in order to exonerate himself......

After all, there is no proof of death, and it is impossible for everyone to conclude that he is innocent based on his words alone.

Thinking of the scene before leaving the cabin, the smile on his lips became more and more helpless.

After Hua Qiong unbuttoned her coat, he wanted to continue undressing, but he hurriedly grabbed her hand and scolded her a few words.

She expressed her love with tears streaming down her face, but he still refused as mercilessly as Changyinyuan did.

She was annoyed. Angry and unwilling, he threatened to slander him for being indifferent to her, and was bound to force him to comply.

He said coldly that his feet were not afraid of crooked shoes, and everything was up to her, so he hurried down the cabin directly.

As for what happened later, he didn't know.

I only knew that I had just walked out not far when I heard a frightened scream from the boat behind me.

Later, he was arrested and taken to the criminal department......

It seemed that Yin Zike's answer was within Gu Chengen's expectations, Gu Chengen waved his hand, and commanded: "Come, go to the execution!" ”

In fact, even if Yin Zike confessed just now, Gu Chengen would not let him go easily.

As he said, he wanted to repeat all the punishments Gu Jinli had received before on Yin Zike.

Although, the person Gu Jinli loves is not him.

Although, Gu Jinli did it to him for Qi Hao.

However, he still did not allow anyone to bully her. hurt her......

"Yes, Gu Shilang." The jailer, who had not spoken a few words, listened and quickly turned to the torture instrument.

Yin Zike lowered his eyes, thinking that if he really died here today, then he would not resent anyone.

Yu Huaqiong has a clear conscience.

For Gu Jinli, it is regarded as paying off her father's debts.

For Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Yin, he can only pray to repay their nurturing grace in the next life......

If you want to say that there are still regrets, that is, if there is really a next life, let him meet the woman he loves earlier.

Best, he is not married, she is not married.

Best of all, while he loves her, he is also the person she puts in her heart......

Slowly closing his eyes, Yin Zike waited for the next dozens of tortures.

Gu Chengen looked at Yin Zike with a look of resignation, and naturally didn't see the picture he wanted to see.

"Ahem......" suppressed the churning blood in his chest and sat down again.

"Gu Shilang, Prince Ning has arrived at the gate of the Criminal Department!" Just when the torture instrument was just put on Yin Zike's hand, he guarded the door

The jailer walked in quickly.

Gu Chengen's eyes instantly crossed a cold killing intent, and he squeezed the cup hard, and he said after a while: "This servant Lang knows."

Dao. ”

As soon as his words fell, Qi Hao walked in.

The two looked at each other, sparks in the air.

In the morning, an assassination attempt.

At this time, a case.

In just one day, they met twice.

For the first time, they fought with two swords, and they couldn't wait for you to die and break the net.

And now, although they didn't really do it, invisibly, the murderous aura emanating from the two of them was stunned

The air is different.

The jailers sensed the unusual danger aura, unconsciously shrunk their necks, and all cautiously retreated

In the corner, I am afraid that one will accidentally become cannon fodder.

"This squire is trying the case, I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Ning to come over?" Gu Chengen narrowed his eyes and took the lead in speaking.

Qi Hao glanced at Yin Zike, who was scarred on his body, and said slowly: "Gu Shilang has been in the Criminal Department for so many years, no

It may not be known what the normal procedure for hearing a case is. ”

"Heh, is Lord Ning questioning Ben Shilang's ability to do things?" Gu Chengen listened, and there was a hint of mockery in his sneering tone

Sarcasm: "As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry. ”

"In demagoguery, this waiter is willing to bow down. But in handling the case, the prince is really not Ben Shilang's opponent. ”

In the first half of the sentence, he was referring to Gu Jinli's heart being abducted and run away by Qi Hao.

The second half of the sentence hints that Qi Hao should not interfere in Yin Zike's matter.

This short sentence is really a pun and has a profound meaning.

After that, Gu Chengen also patted Qi Hao's chest by the way.

The position where he started happened to be where Qi Hao was injured by the poison dart.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was gentle, but it used five points of strength in secret.

Qi Hao frowned slightly, but his face did not look unusual.

Holding Gu Chengen's wrist with his backhand, he also injected a little internal force. He said with a smile: "Gu Shilang is right, Ben."

What the king is best at is indeed demagoguery. ”

"After all, there is a saying that says, 'He who wins hearts and minds wins the world,' isn't it?"

Both of them have not light injuries on their bodies, but they are both pretending to be unhindered and secretly competing.

There was a kind of provocation in Gu Chengen's ears when he heard this, and he withdrew his hand from Qi Hao's hand, he deliberately

Misinterpreted: "Win the world? Lord Ning's appetite is not small! ”

"The emperor is in his prime, Prince Ning said this, but what is it implying to him?"

Moving his gaze to the few extra faint blue fingerprints on his wrist at that moment, Gu Chengen's face became more and more gloomy.

Qi Hao shook his head and chuckled: "The hat that Gu Shilang buckled for this king is a bit big, and this king can't afford it." ”

After a pause, he returned to the topic and said in a deep voice: "This king came here to specially supervise Gu Shilang to handle the case. ”

"Oh?" When Gu Chengen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and sneered: "This squire has been in the Criminal Department for many years, and there are not a thousand cases he has endured.

There are also several hundred pieces. ”

"No matter how big or small the case is, there is no mistake. Prince Ning came to inspect Ben Shilang, did he get the emperor's will? ”

He is the boss of the criminal department, and how to handle the case is up to him.

Moreover, as soon as he arrived at the door, he received a message from the palace, so as long as Yin Zike died in a short time

It's not too much to torture Gu Chengen.

Anyway, this errand was personally assigned to him by the emperor.

How can you do it and allow others to interject?

Qi Hao pursed his lips, "What if there is, what if there is not?" ”

"If you have anything, please go back and tell the emperor. Don't use people who are suspicious, don't be suspicious when you use people. Gu Chengen flicked his sleeves, big

Step back to your seat.

After sitting down, he said again: "If it is not the emperor's intention, then please ask Prince Ning to leave, and don't interfere with the interrogation of this servant."

Prisoner! ”

Qi Hao listened to Gu Chengen's tone of no concessions, and glanced at Yin Zike, who was tied to the shelf. Word for word

Said: "Gu Shilang said this, aren't you afraid that this king will go back to the palace and tell his father?" ”

When Qi Hao looked at Yin Zike, it happened that Yin Zike also raised his eyes slightly and met his gaze.

Even if he is very extreme at the moment, he no longer has a temperament as warm as jade and fluttering like a fairy, but the look in his eyes is still one

Like a calm lake, crystal clear, warm as jade.

Qi Hao may have developed a new disgust for Yin Suwan and Yin Suxi now.

However, Qi Hao still admires Yin Zike's personality.

Yin Zike is like a green lotus blooming in this filthy world, spotless, but out of place.

If such a person died in the hands of Gu Chengen, in addition to a pity, it would still be a pity.

Therefore, Qi Hao thought about using the emperor to suppress Gu Chengen.

Who knew that Gu Chengen snorted coldly, and said fearlessly: "Prince Ning, just go and tell the emperor, if you don't mind."

I also ask you to bring another word to the emperor for this waiter, just say that this waiter will not disappoint the emperor and Concubine Li. ”

Qi Hao came to the Criminal Department and was entrusted by Yin Suwan, but as we all know, anyone who enters the Criminal Department wants to live

It's almost impossible to come out.

Of course, there are some who come out, but most of them seem to have been reskinned inside......

He couldn't directly take Yin Zike away domineeringly like he did when he saved Gu Jinli.

Because, the current situation is a little different than it was then.

At that time, the people who tortured Gu Jinli in the Criminal Department were Guo Mingshun and Mrs. Yin, and to deal with Guo Mingshun, Qi Hao could use his identity

and Guo Mingshun's handle to suppress him.

For Mrs. Yin, no matter how you say it, it is the relationship between the son-in-law and the father-in-law, as long as you talk about it, you won't make trouble

It's ugly.

And now, the person in charge of the Criminal Department is Gu Chengen, so Qi Hao can only enter the Criminal Department to take a look at the shape here

potential, let's see what Yin Zike's injury has become.

In this way, I have a good number in my heart......

I have seen Gu Chengen's ruthlessness and paranoia, and I think that if I delay time with him here again, I am afraid it will be even more intense

Angry at Cheng En.

After all, Gu Chengen's purpose was to kill Yin Zike.

If he shows his intention to defend Yin Zike between his words, then after he leaves, it is inevitable that Gu Chengen will not

Intensify......

"I hope Gu Shilang can handle it impartially and leave." Qi Hao said and turned to leave.

Qi Hao's departure so happily made Gu Chengen a little surprised.

watched his figure walk out of the cell door. He coughed a few more times with his hand over his mouth, and said vaguely, "Go on."

Torture! ”

"Yes." The jailer who was huddled in the corner secretly felt sorry for Yin Zike, and then pulled the rope.

Ten fingers connected to the heart, and the bursts of pain from the knuckles made the sweat on Yin Zike's forehead "click, click".

Dripping down.

The clothes behind him were also stained with blood and sweat, sticky to the back.

Yin Zike bit his lip tightly, and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Chengen rubbed his wrist and looked at the jailer pulling the rope with disdain. He scolded coldly: "Harder,

Didn't you have enough to eat? ”

The two jailers obeyed, and pulled the rope tighter, one left and one right.

Yin Zike snorted and finally fainted.

Gu Chengen raised his chin, and three words burst out from his thin lips: "Wake him up!" ”

The jailer answered, picked up the basin and poured it on Yin Zike.

The cold pool water was poured on his body, which instantly made Yin Zike open his eyes.

"Go on!" Gu Chengen gave the jailer a color, and then looked through the confession of the palace maid on the table.

After Qi Hao left the Criminal Department, he first went to the palace for a walk.

The purpose of entering the palace. For nothing else, but to listen to the old emperor's tone and see what he meant.

Concubine Li is still so hysterical, and her mood does not improve at all.

The old emperor was very distressed, and he was caught between Concubine Li and the Yin family.

After that, Qi Hao went to Mingyang Palace by the way and visited Xiaoba, who he hadn't seen for a few days.

Xiaoba's external injuries are almost healed, but he has experienced a life and death, and his whole personality has changed a little.

If it is said that the former Xiaoba was young and old in front of outsiders. But in front of Qi Hao, he will at least reveal a little

The innocence and innocence of children.

However, now Hachi has become taciturn and depressed.

Although the queen tried to make him happy, he just couldn't be happy.

The book is still the same, and the homework assigned by the master is still completed, but the innocence can no longer be seen on his face

The smile ......

Although the queen is worried, she thinks that Hachi is still a child, and some bad things will eventually change with the passage of time

into a small thing.

Even if it leaves a shadow on Hachi's heart, as long as Hachi doesn't make any big mistakes.

After all, Xiaoba's existence is just a tool for the queen to put herself on the throne of the queen mother......

Today, when Xiaoba saw Qi Hao, although he still didn't talk much, he still had a little smile on his face

meaning, this made Xiao Xiangzi, who was waiting by Xiaoba's side, very excited after seeing it, and had an urge to burst into tears.

The palace is not just a place of right and wrong, but a slaughterhouse full of bloody rain.

Here, there are no relatives, no friends, no lovers, just human greed and endless fighting.

On the night of the Queen Mother's birthday, Xiaoba was put into a sack by Concubine Li and was almost sunk in the pond.

At that time, Xiaoba, even if he knew the darkness of the human heart, a simple heart had not been hurt by the cruel reality

Body scale wounds.

And now Hachi. Grew overnight.

It's just that the price of this growth is a bit heavy......

Qi Hao understood that Xiaoba had not yet recovered from that incident, and he was afraid that talking too much to him would cause him to think crankily.

Therefore, after a few casual and simple chats, he found an excuse to go back to King Ning's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yin Suwan greeted him, "Brother Hao, how are things?" Big brother he ...... Will he be able to come out? ”

Qi Hao shook his head and walked towards the house. He said slowly: "Father specially ordered Gu Chengen to deal with this

matter, this king wants to intervene, it is difficult. ”

After a pause, he turned around and said meaningfully: "And you also know that according to the relationship between the Gu and Yin families, Gu Cheng Enbi."

It's going to be ruthless. ”

"Your brother, he...... There is less bad luck. ”

After hearing this, Yin Suwan grabbed Qi Hao's sleeve and said urgently: "Brother Hao, can't you really save the eldest brother?" ”

"You were able to rescue Gu Jinxiu last time, why can't you save your eldest brother this time?"

It's okay not to mention Gu Jinli, but when Gu Jinli is mentioned, Qi Hao thinks of the suffering she suffered in prison that time.

And those pains were all inflicted on Gu Jinli by Mrs. Yin's instructions to Guo Mingshun.

Moreover, Yin Suwan's words felt like she was blaming Qi Hao for not trying her best to save Yin Zike, as if she was turning over an old account

Pulled out other things as well.

In short, the displeasure is full.

With a cold face, Qi Hao said coldly: "Wanwan." It's not that this king doesn't save your eldest brother, but the situation is very grim now. ”

At that time, except for the little maid beside Princess Huaqiong who found the princess's body, there was no other witness or physical evidence

Prove that the princess's death has nothing to do with your eldest brother. ”

"But ......" Yin Suwan opened her mouth, but she heard Qi Hao again: "Wanwan, this king is a little tired, what's the matter."

Let's talk about that another day. ”

Qi Hao sighed, looking really tired.

Gu Jinli nodded, grabbed the corner of her clothes and left.

Qi Hao looked at the position where Gu Jinli had sat before going out, and his frowning brows finally eased.

The shy crimson on her face was remembered in my mind. He curled the corners of his lips and muttered, "Ah Gu, this king will stay."

Yours. ”

She set up a restaurant outside, bought a yard, and left with a suitable opportunity when everything was ready.

She wasn't Gu Jinxiu in the first place, it was like a gust of wind, she really wanted to leave, and he couldn't keep her at all.

And, with a strong force to trap her around. That's not his style either.

So, he will try to really get close to her heart until she fully accepts herself......

He whispered a few words of "Ah Gu" in his heart, and Qi Hao sat down in front of the table.

The night was dark, and by the time Gu Chengen returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was almost the hour.

Gu Huai waited for him in the study for a long time, and when he saw that he finally came back, he couldn't help but rub his numb old legs, and said slowly:

'En'er. There is one thing that the Father needs to consult with you. ”

Gu Chengen asked, "Father, what's the matter?" ”

Gu Huai pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Mo Zhiyan, the daughter of Hanlin Scholar Mo Dongsheng, do you still have an impression?" ”

Gu Chengen was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "My son met her once on the street by chance before. ”

"Father thinks that whether it is in terms of age or family background, Miss Mo and you are made in heaven

Right. Gu Huai cleared his throat and continued: "Mo Dongsheng can be regarded as having some power in the court, if you can."

Marriage with the Mo family, this is like a tiger with wings for our Gu family. ”

"So, for Father, I would like to ask your opinion."

Gu Chengen moved his lips, his dark eyes seemed to have thousands of stones on the ground, and his pupils constricted.

The picture of Gu Jinli protecting himself with a silver bracelet in front of Qi Hao appeared in front of him, and his heart twitched

A few clicks.

After a long time, he said softly: "Father, let my son think again." ”

This time, Gu Chengen did not refuse as before.

Seeing that there seemed to be room for him to mean this, Gu Huai nodded and said, "It's not too early, you can go back and rest." ”

"Yes." Gu Chengen answered, pushed the door and left.

"Oh, yes." Just as Gu Chengen raised his feet and walked out of the gate, he heard Gu Huai ask, "Princess Huaqiong's matter."

Is there a sign of love? ”

"Father rest assured, his son will make the Yin family pay." A cold light flashed in Gu Chengen's eyes, and after that, he disappeared

In the dark of night.

Gu Huai looked at Gu Chengen's cold and hard back, with a complicated expression.
