Seeing Concubine Li's appearance of wanting to die or live, the old emperor looked upset and helpless.

Holding Concubine Li's hand, he sighed and said, "Yan'er, don't worry, I will give you and Hua Qiong an explanation." ”

Throwing himself into the arms of the old emperor, Concubine Li's tears wet his clothes, and she cried bitterly: "Your Majesty...... Hua Qiong is gone, Zhen

My son was punished to the border, why is the life of the concubine so bitter! ”

Because Concubine Li begged the old emperor many times before, but the old emperor was caught between Concubine Li and the queen mother.

So Qi Zhen never returned to Beijing.

Today, Concubine Li just came up with a way to pretend to be sick, but before this method could be used, Hua Qiong was killed.

Hua Qiong is Qi Zhen's younger sister, her sister is dead, where is the reason why my brother will not come back?

The old emperor pursed his lips, and only after a while did he turn his head and say to Jia Gong: "Spread my will, immediately summon the Qing King back to Beijing!" ”

didn't wait for Father-in-law Jia to respond. The queen was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, it will take at least three days for the Qing King to come back from the border pass at the earliest. ”

After a pause, she glanced at Hua Qiong's corpse and said slowly: "If it's still a little hot today, if it's late."

If Hua Qiong's body is not buried. I'm afraid ......"

Although the latter words were about to be stopped, her meaning was already obvious.

On the surface, it was to preserve Hua Qiong's body, but in fact, he wanted to bury Hua Qiong directly.

Now that Hua Qiong is buried, there is no need for King Qing to come back......

When Concubine Li heard this, she gritted her teeth and glared at the queen, "The queen knows that Zhen'er and Hua Qiong have a deep relationship between brothers and sisters. But in such a hurry

To bury Hua Qiong, what is An's mind? ”

"Besides, there is ice in the palace to keep the corpse from rotting! Not to mention three days, even three months, the main palace has to wait

Come back to see Hua Qiong's last face! ”

With that, she pounced on Hua Qiong again.

"Woo...... Hua Qiong, don't worry, your brother will definitely come back to see you! "Concubine Li's crying liver and intestines are broken, and there is a lot to do

Hua Qiong cried alive.

However, no matter how many tears she shed, Hua Qiong would never come back.

The queen was demolished by Concubine Li in public. The muscles in her face twitched a few times, and then she sneered: "That's it, this palace is completely."

Out of a good heart, since Concubine Li misinterpreted the good intentions of the palace, then the right to be a dog in the palace to meddle with a mouse! ”

blessed the old emperor, the queen said perfunctorily: "Your Majesty, the concubine is still going to see Xiaoba, so I will go back first." ”

Seeing that the old emperor waved his hand to herself, the queen withdrew with the palace maid.

Concubine De and Xiyue saw that the queen was leaving, glanced at each other, and then also whispered: "The concubine/son-in-law will also retreat first."

Finish. ”

The more people there are, the more disputes there are over right and wrong.

Therefore, when the old emperor saw that Concubine De's mother and daughter were leaving, he didn't say anything.

Gonggong Jia also followed out of the room, ready to convey the old emperor's order to let Qi Zhen return to Beijing just now, but he just walked out

After a while, he came back in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Yin, he fainted!" ”

After such a long time, Mrs. Yin has been kowtowing non-stop outside.

There are not eighty of them, but at least fifty or sixty.

The blood on his head had dried up, his old face was gray, and his hair was sticky with sweat sticking to his forehead, looking a little embarrassed.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, although Mrs. Yin had already sent someone to the criminal department to send news to Guo Mingshun before entering the palace,

I hope he can secretly treat Yin Zike more before the matter is decided.

However, he knew that it was not the punishment of the Criminal Department that decided Yin Zike's life and death, but Concubine Li and the old emperor.

It's just that, looking at the current situation, it seems that it is even more difficult to make Concubine Li raise her noble hand, which is simply more difficult than heaven......

When the old emperor heard this, he frowned and said, "Go find the imperial doctor and show it to Taifu Yin." ”

Taking a deep breath, he added, "This matter." Leave it to Gu Shilang to do. ”

"Right and wrong, there must be a decision!"

"Yes, the old slave will go." Father-in-law Jia glanced at Concubine Li, who was pale, and whispered.

The old emperor let out a "hmm", and before Concubine Li went crazy, he waved his hand and sent away Gonggong Jia.

"Your Majesty, except for Yin Zike at that time, there was no second person with Hua Qiong! The murderer is not Yin

Zike, who else will it be? Concubine Li's tearful eyes were full of hatred, and she clenched her fists and said angrily: "Yin Zike is not only innocent

lost Hua Qiong's infatuation, and even asked for her life! ”

"Such a bastard, the emperor still keeps her. Is it worthy of Hua Qiong's spirit in the sky?! ”

She burst into tears and was hysterical, as if she did not care about the majesty of the old emperor.

The old emperor had a calm face and said quietly: "Concubine Li, Hua Qiong is gone, and I am more uncomfortable than anyone else." ”

"However, people can't be resurrected after death, Hua Qiong is gone, and being sad doesn't help."

"What we can do now is to find the murderer and not spare the sinner."

The old emperor laid down so much, just to tell Concubine Li. This person who killed Hua Qiong may also be someone else, Hope Concubine Li

I can calm down.

However, the words of the old emperor listened to Concubine Li's ears, which was a cover-up, a protection, and a kind of perfunctory that did not care.

"Your Majesty." Gripping the old emperor's arm tightly, Concubine Li did not back down and said, "You know that Hua Qiong was alive

If you don't deal with Gu Jinxiu, you let Gu Chengen investigate the murderer, how can he handle the case impartially? ”

"Once Gu Chengen protects the murderer, then Hua Qiong will not be able to turn a blind eye!"

Concubine Li's worries are not unreasonable, but her worries this time are indeed superfluous.

Because, Gu Chengen finally caught the opportunity to make Yin Zike and the Yin family worse than dead. How can there be mercy?

"Enough!" Seeing Concubine Li so suspicious, the old emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, "Concubine Li, Gu Chengen is a person

It has always been fair, reasonable and impartial, you can rest assured! ”

"Imperial ......" Concubine Li was still chattering to express her dissatisfaction, but saw that the old emperor directly brushed away her hand and strode away.

"Woo woo woo ......" gritted her teeth and tore the handkerchief in her hand, Concubine Li hated it so much.

At the same time, in the Criminal Department, after Gu Chengen got out of the carriage, with the support of Yue Yunpeng, he struggled to get out of the gate of the Criminal Department

The mouth moved to the inside of the Punishment Department.

As soon as he entered, he saw that Guo Mingshun was really about to untie Yin Zike.

"Stop!" Perhaps, Gu Chengen came back too suddenly, or maybe he saw Guo Mingshun favoritism for Yin Zike, in short, Gu

Cheng Eun's expression was cold.

Guo Mingshun was stunned, probably not expecting Gu Chengen to rush over at this time and make a move. Some of them are weak-hearted

stepped forward and said, "Gu Shilang, why are you back?" ”

Gu Chengen's handsome face was sickly pale, he put his hands behind his back, looked at Guo Mingshun coldly, and said coldly: "Criminal Department."

There is a new case, and it is a big case involving the royal family. What does Master Guo mean that Ben Shilang shouldn't come back? ”

Although Guo Mingshun and Gu Chengen are both on errands in the Criminal Department, to be precise, Gu Chengen took Guo Mingshun last time

After his nephew Guo Dagao became famous, his status in the heart of the old emperor and in the criminal department was one level higher than Guo Mingshun.

Therefore, in front of Gu Chengen, the old Guo Mingxian still has his tail between his legs.

Of course. And that's just to show that.

Behind his back, Guo Mingshun naturally wanted to cramp and skin Gu Chengen.

With a sneer, he looked unnatural and said, "What is Gu Shilang talking about?" This official is just a casual one

Just ask! ”

"Lord Guo, the emperor just gave an order to give this case to Ben Shilang to deal with." Gu Chengen did not sit down

down, but with a big wave of the hand. Undoubtedly: "Now that this waiter wants to handle the case, please ask Master Guo to go out first." ”

Guo Mingshun was entrusted by Mrs. Yin to try his best to protect Yin Zike, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Gu Shilang, you have to do it."

case, this official is also a member of the Criminal Department, why does Gu Shilang have to avoid the palace, could it be that he wants to be beaten into a trick? ”

"Heh, this squire has the emperor's permission, dare to ask you, Lord Guo?" Gu Chengen's sharp eyes turned into a cold

Light, his voice was a little lower, implicitly sarcastic: "Besides, this squire has decided the case, and Master Guo, you are pointing fingers on the side."

Feet, is this appropriate? ”

"You!" Guo Mingshun was blocked by Gu Chengen, and glanced at Yin Zi, who had a calm face since he was in prison

Ke, and then shook his sleeves and left angrily.

After Guo Mingshun leaves. Gu Chengen took a step forward, looked at Yin Zike tied to the table, and said slowly: "Master Yin."

Do you want to explain it yourself, or do you need the help of this squire to explain? ”

Yin Zike didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard, he lowered his eyes. Silent.

"Heh, it seems that Master Yin doesn't want to say it!" Gu Chengen snorted coldly, and then sat down on the chair next to him.

He glanced at the jailer on the side, squinted his eyes and asked, "Last time, Concubine Gu was caught in prison, Taifu Yin and Guo Da

What punishment has been inflicted on her? ”

"This ......" The jailer hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said cautiously, "Looking back at the squire, the little one...... I change the small one at the time

I really don't know. ”

"Oh." Gu Chengen nodded, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then all the punishments will be punished."

Let's do it all over again! ”

"I'd like to see it. Is it because the torture tools of our criminal department are powerful, or is the mouth of Master Yin hard enough! ”

Yin Zike's body trembled, raised his eyes and quietly looked at Gu Chengen, who was waiting to watch a good show, and suddenly understood something.

Father Yin Taifu almost didn't take Gu Jinli's life last time, and this time he fell into the hands of Gu Chengen, presumably Gu Cheng

Eun will definitely get it back from himself this time......

The jailer listened. With a look of embarrassment, he hesitated and said, "Gu Shilang, do you really want to come all over again?" This is what to do

If Mrs. Yin knows, she is a little worried......"

"Heh, Ben Shirou's words don't work now?" Gu Chengen saw that the jailer looked trembling, and followed it casually

Braving a sparkling bonfire. took out a steaming soldering iron and said unhurriedly: "Well, you don't."

Forbearance, will all the punishments suffered by Yin Zike be borne by you? ”

The jailer hurriedly shook his head and let out a "poof". Kneeling on the ground, "Gu Shilang spares his life!" ”

Gu Chengen's methods, that is quite powerful.

If he really suffered on behalf of Yin Zike, then the torture instrument came down, not to mention whether he was alive or not, only whether he could or not

It's a question of being able to withstand the first punishment......

"What are you still doing?" Gu Chengen threw the soldering iron into the coals of fire, wiping his hands with a handkerchief while holding back his chest

The urge to cough in the cavity.

"Yes, Gu Shilang." The jailer felt very unbearable, but in the end, people are selfish.

Therefore, he started with whipping and used punishment on Yin Zike.
