"The child has seen his father, his master, and Mr. Li."

The stakes are very high, Hongqing didn't dare to delay a little, as soon as the old fourteenth party left, Hongqing had already lifted the quilt, jumped up, let Qian'er and others help get dressed, and came to the inner courtyard study, this time seeing that the third master was pretending to be calm and gossiping with Li Minquan, but his eyes were always wandering, so obviously absent-minded, Hongqing secretly laughed in his heart, but he didn't dare to lose his manners, hurriedly walked a few steps, grabbed the front, and bowed in a proper manner.

"Well, I'm exempt."

Seeing that Hongqing had arrived, the third master's eyes immediately lit up, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to hurry up to ask for details, but he didn't want to be too eager, so he just brushed the long beard on his chest in disguise, and called out reservedly.

"Thank you, Father Wang Longen."

Although he was angry at the third master in his heart, Hongqing dared to show it, so he just thanked him respectfully and stood up, but he did not sit down on the side, but bowed slightly and made a look of respectful listening.

"What did the old fourteen say?"

The third master obviously admired Hongqing's gesture very much, but he didn't say much to praise him, but went straight to the point.

"Back to my father's words, this is how it ......"

The negotiation with the old fourteen is said to be a matter of confidentiality, but this kind of secret is for outsiders, but it does not include everyone present, Hongqing has no need to hide it, so he quickly organized the language, and briefly stated the results and the process of the negotiation.

"Well, in this way, the old fourteen really wants to do such a vote, I don't know what the eighth brother will have on the other side."

The third master has been suppressed by the prince for a while, although he is not as embarrassed as the eighth master, but the small shoes are also wearing a pair of pairs, and the prince is already a little unbearable in his heart, and he is looking forward to being able to overturn the prince to the ground in one fell swoop, if not, the third master will not be in a hurry to join forces with the eighth master to do a game, as for getting two important positions, it is completely a grass and rabbit, a convenient thing, the third master is satisfied, but he will not particularly care, all he cares about is whether there will be any moths on the eighth master's side, If you are really cheated by the eighth master, the consequences are not easy to play.

"Father Wang Mingjian, the child thinks that the eighth uncle has no choice."

Hongqing knew that the third master was worried about something, but he didn't explain it in detail, just gave the answer affirmatively, of course, there was another sentence Hongqing didn't say it would come out, that is, the third master actually didn't have a choice, this point, you can see the clues from the case of the emperor's tomb - don't look at Hongqing's big break of the emperor's tomb mystery case is extremely smooth, but only Hongqing knows the thrill, if it weren't for Hongqing's vigilance, I'm afraid that he would have been caught in this case a long time ago, if this is the case, how can it be Hongqing's turn to calculate the prince, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to protect myself, Under the implication, I am afraid that the third master will not have a good fruit to eat, and now he will not take advantage of the east wind of this case to pull the prince off the horse, once the prince is relieved, it is inevitable that there will be endless troubles.

"Well, Master, Zicheng, do you two have any advice on this?"

The stakes are very high, although he has already made a decision in his heart, but the third master still does not dare to express his position easily, so he throws the question to the two strategists sitting on the side.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, his subordinates think that what the little prince said is very true, this is the last chance of the eighth master, and he will definitely not let it go, however, according to his subordinates, no matter how the eighth master struggles, it is just a waste of effort, with the wisdom of His Majesty, he will never let him succeed, and when the time comes, the fortune of the prince should come."

Although Li Minquan is also a wise man, he is obviously worse in figuring out the holy will, although he can calculate the mind of the eighth master, and he can also judge the inevitable failure of the eighth master, but he obviously has some assumptions about how the old man will act.

"Well, well, Master, you see ......."

The third master's dream of the East Palace is not a day or two, and when he heard Li Minquan say this, he was thrilled, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the flushed face said it all.

"Let's go, and we'll discuss the future later."

Old Master Chen saw through the third master's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't break it, he just responded simply.

"Okay, that's it!"

Seeing that Old Master Chen had no objection, the third master was really full of ambition, so he didn't postpone it any longer, waved his hand, and made a bold decision......

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, Qi Shangshu is here."

The time is coming to an end, although the night is not deep, but it is already time to put down the money and food, but the prince Yinren has not gone to rest, pacing back and forth in the spacious study, his brows are tightly locked, a worried look, just when he is impatient, but when he hears a rush of footsteps, Zhang Degao, the deputy chief eunuch of the East Palace, has turned out from behind the screen, and quickly grabbed behind the prince, bowed, and cautiously reported a sentence.

"Xuan!"

The reason why Yinren didn't go to rest at such a time was that Qi Shiwu was coming, and when he heard that it had arrived, his heartbeat immediately sped up, and he gave an edict without saying a word.

"Wow!"

Since Yinren had already given the order, Zhang Degao didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly answered, and hurriedly exited the study.

"The old minister knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Fang Yi turned his head out from behind the screen, and when he saw the prince's eyes blazing, Qi Shiwu didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly rushed to the front, bowing respectfully.

"Well, I'm exempt."

Although the prince was anxious, he did not lose his proportion, raised his hand in vain, and called out kindly.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie Longen."

Qi Shiwu thanked him in a regular manner, kowtowed his head again, and then got up, but he didn't say much, but his eyes swept around, and he wanted to say something and stopped.

"Wait for all to retreat!"

As soon as Qi Shiwu's cautious appearance came out, the prince immediately nodded knowingly, waved his hand, and gave an order without saying anything.

"Wow!"

As soon as the crown prince Chrysostom opened like this, Zhang Degao and the eunuchs who were in the study at that time did not dare to delay much, so they all agreed to the promise and withdrew from the room.

"How's it going?"

As soon as everyone retreated, the prince couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly asked a question.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the old ministers have already made arrangements, Qu Wufeng has already agreed to the old minister's request, on the condition that nothing happens, and he and his family have 10,000 taels of silver, and in the coming day, they must pave the way for their son to enter the office, the old minister is brave, he has already agreed to his conditions, the matter is urgent, and His Royal Highness has not been shown first, and the old minister is afraid."

Although the study was already played by the monarch and the minister alone, Qi Shiwu was still very cautious, his voice was extremely low, and he could barely hear it clearly.

"Well, okay, Lord Qi is doing things, this palace can rest assured, hmm, what is the reaction of the team leader surnamed Qin?"

The crown prince was obviously very satisfied with Qi Shiwu's efficiency, and praised him with a smile, but did not relax there, but turned to ask about the performance of another key person in the case.

"This ......"

As soon as he heard the prince ask about this, Qi Shiwu's face froze.

"Huh? What's going on, say! ”

The prince has always been a mean and unkind master, and just now he praised Qi Shiwu's ability, but when he turned his head, his face was full of clouds, and he snorted impatiently, and he really turned his face a few points faster than turning a book.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, although the old minister is the secretary of the criminal department, but the eighth master and others in that place have been in business for a long time, and they are intertwined, if the old minister can be dealt with lightly, although the old minister is trying his best to dispatch, it will be difficult to be in place for a while, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to meet him privately today, and let the old minister make arrangements again, and there will be a return tomorrow."

Qi Shiwu has only been in office for a few months when he is still in charge of the Criminal Department, although he also placed some people in the Criminal Department when he took office, but after all, the vacant positions are limited, and there are not many positions he can get, and although the eighth master and others were forced by the prince to be sick at home, but after all, in the name of the elder brother of the Ministry of Management, the Criminal Department is definitely not Qi Shiwu can cover the sky with one hand, and it is already the limit of Qi Shiwu's ability to successfully communicate with Qu Wufeng in private within one day, as for Qin Fengwu's side, Qi Shiwu can't take care of it at all, this is the reality, despite this, but Qi Shiwu didn't dare to guarantee that the prince could understand, so he had no choice but to explain it stubbornly.

"Humph! This matter is very important, how can it be a child's play, at the latest tomorrow afternoon, the palace will have a clear explanation, so you can do it yourself! ”

Although Qi Shiwu had already explained it very clearly, the crown prince didn't care so much, snorted coldly, and gave a deadline without saying anything.

"Yes, the old minister should do his best."

Encountering such an unreasonable master as the crown prince, Qi Shiwu really had no choice but to answer reluctantly.

"Well, that's good, this palace has been on the book today, and I ask the emperor to hand over the case to Erlai for trial, and in a few days, the holy decree should arrive, before that, all matters must be ready, it's really not good, what should I do, just do it, do you hear it clearly?"

The prince glanced at Qi Shiwu dissatisfiedly, but did not scold him again, but explained with a slight frown.

"Ah......, yes, the old minister remembers."

Although the prince did not say it explicitly, Qi Shiwu knew the unfinished words as soon as he heard it, and he wanted Qi Shiwu to kill people if he couldn't buy it, this is a big thing to lose his head, and Qi Shiwu was shocked when he was free, and he just wanted to say something again, but he saw that the prince's eyes were full of murderous aura, Qi Shiwu pouted a few times, and he didn't dare to say more, so he could only reluctantly agree.
