Cui Renshi said: "You want to ask how your father and brother died?" ”

Xu Hui endured his grief and said in a trembling voice: "I still hope that Cui Shilang will tell him bluntly." ”

Cui Renshi sighed and said, "People are about to die, and their words are also good." Xu Xiaoniang, the answer to this question, you still don't know. ”

"Why?"

"That Brother Wen must know this best."

Wen Sihai said: "Little lady Xu, before Old Man Cui died, he finally said a human word. You'll regret it. In fact, how can there be injuries that can't be detected? It's not that they can't test it, it's that they don't dare to test it. ”

Guo Yedao: "I offered a reward of 100,000 yuan, but no one applied, is it possible that the oil and water made by the criminal department are so rich?" ”

"Of course not. However, the key to the matter is to have a life to take a life to spend it. You have the money to buy them, but Cui Renshi has evidence of their corruption. King Qin, think about it, after decades of hard work, you haven't done a bad thing? How is that possible! ”

Xu Hui said: "However, I still want to know the three of them......"

Wen Sihai said helplessly: "If you want people to die without skin injury, it is nothing more than a few means. A little bit of experience will be clear at a glance. The old man didn't dare to say it, for fear of polluting the little lady's ears. ”

Guo Ye didn't seem to understand, and he didn't want to dig deeper, so he said, "Hui'er, forget it." If the world knows that they died in humiliation, I am afraid that they will also hurt the name of their father-in-law......"

Xu Hui cried again, and faintly felt in his heart that it would be a huge mistake to ask any more, so he had to say with grievances: "Husband, I ...... I only have you now! You've got to be nice to me......"

"That's natural, I won't let you be wronged. Belch...... It's getting late, so why don't you go back to your home to deal with the funeral first. I will enter the palace to face the saints, so as to find out the main messenger behind the scenes. ”

"I listen to my husband."

Immediately, the Criminal Department allocated a few officials, carried the coffin, and sent the Xu father and son back to the house. As for Guo Ye, he whipped his horse and went straight to the palace.

By then, the sun was setting.

His Majesty Li Er said: "The palace gate is about to be locked, Guo Aiqing has something to say quickly." ”

Guo Ye briefly recounted what happened, and finally said: "Therefore, Weichen is here to ask for the execution of Cui Renshi, the servant of the Criminal Department. ”

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "Guo Aiqing, you are confused." What kind of punishment will be moved? Isn't this a bald lion, obvious? ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"

"Who can instruct Cui Renshi and hate the Xu family to the core, who else can there be besides my unfilial son?"

"You mean His Royal Highness King Qi? But it's obviously not good for him, right? ”

"It's nothing more than venting anger!" His Majesty Li Er said hatefully: "This kid is really not angry, and even bad things are not the place!" ”

"Are you sure it's him?"

"Can't be wrong, knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father, this matter must have been done by him. Otherwise, why do you think I am the crown prince? Because You'er can't get on the wall at all! ”

Guo Ye said: "Not necessarily. Don't talk about anything else, I think that His Majesty's army was in Goguryeo, and life and death were on the line...... If you don't talk about morality, this trick is still quite vicious. ”

"That's because someone else is taking advantage of him! This idea is definitely not his own idea, and he can't attract such talents. His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly, and said: "Fighting with Zhi'er, if I hadn't secretly covered it up for him, he would have died eight hundred times a long time ago." ”

Speaking of which, it was enough to talk about it, Guo Ye changed the topic and said, "Then what are you going to do about it?" ”

"Well, what else can be done? I can't slaughter my own son for this, can I? ”

"Then Cui Renshi......"

His Majesty Li Er stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and said, "Guo Aiqing, in fact, Master Cui Renshi is a good person. But this time, he was blinded by glory and wealth, and he was not guaranteed to be in the evening. ”

"Good guys? Are you referring to him who examined the Qingzhou rebellion case in detail and released many innocent people? ”

"It's not just that. There was a case in which the elder brother rebelled, and his younger brother sat together. Everyone said that the rebels and the three tribes have been the same since ancient times and should be executed. Only Cui Renshi was detained and strived for, saying that Zhou Li was cloudy, and the father, son and brother were not guilty. I finally listened to him and pardoned the younger brother. ”

"That's also Your Majesty's benevolence."

"There is another thing, there is a school scholar Wang Xuandu who made annotations for the "Book of Shang", and asked the imperial court to use this annotation as the basis and abolish other annotations. It was also Cui Renshi's generous statement and refutation, so that the imperial court did not make a big mistake. With these three things, Cui Shilang can be called the country's minister. ”

Guo Ye said: "Your Majesty's meaning...... It won't be forgiveness for Choi In-shi, right? ”

"Death is avoidable, but living sin is inescapable. Alas, Cui Renshi has been with me all his life, and he can't let him end up, and I am ready to let him return to his hometown. ”

"But after all, this is three lives......"

"What happened to the three lives? Isn't it enough to die two jailers to pay for their lives? Besides...... Guo Aiqing, your so-called note is fake, right? This is not very good evidence. ”

Guo Ye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and Cui Shilang is concerned and messed up." How could there be such a person who could copy anyone's handwriting so that he could not recognize it? ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "The truth of the matter is that before coming, Kongkonger had already made a plan with Wen Sihai, and Guo Ye you were improvising on the spot. ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Guo Yedao: "If Cui Shilang hadn't taken the initiative to admit it, it would have been really difficult to convict him." ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "That is only Cui Aiqing's confession?" To give me a face, let's let him live. ”

Guo Ye's heart is like eating a fly, so it's uncomfortable, but Datang is this kind of people-ruled society. Obviously, in the eyes of the emperor, Cui Renshi and Xu's father and son cannot draw an equal sign.

His Majesty Li Er discussed with himself only because he gave himself face. If you don't give up, then you don't know how to advance or retreat.

He had no choice but to say, "Okay, then Weichen will retire." ”

……

……

Guo Ye looked out of the North Pavilion and found that it was already the moon in the middle of the sky at this time, and the stars were dotted. At that time, the palace gate had been locked, and it was too late to get out of the palace.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Guo Ye can stay in the inner palace, there is no such rule.

However, the so-called palace door is locked and cannot leave the palace, which does not refer to the inner palace, but the entire palace, where the ministers rest.

Under the guidance of a small eunuch, he was placed in a private room.

The little eunuch explained: "This room is specially arranged by His Majesty, and the furnishings in the house are all the best choices, so there is no need for the morning dynasty tomorrow, and the King of Qin can sleep well here." ”

……

……

This sleep was really good, and when Guo Ye woke up again, he found that it was past noon the next day.

He coughed, and the little eunuch immediately appeared and said, "King Qin, are you awake?" Did you sleep well last night? ”

"It's fine. It's just that Guo was snooze for a while, and he missed the hour. ”

"That's not your fault, the incense in our private room is specially made, and it is the best to help you sleep. Do you feel refreshed and reborn right now? ”

Guo Ye's body is very good, he was originally in peak state, of course, he didn't feel so much, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Well, it's really good." ”

"The slave waits for you to wash your hands and clean your face."

"No need!" Guo Ye suddenly patted his head and said, "I forgot a big thing, it's bad now, no, I have to leave quickly!" ”

What did he forget? The funeral at Xu Hui's family.

The Xu family suffered this catastrophe, and the servants had long been dispersed, and now there were only two weak female streamers left. What's more critical is that these two women are not very old, one is less than sixteen, and the other is a little more than eight.

You can imagine how difficult this funeral is.

Guo Ye originally planned to finish the matter, so he came back to help them deal with the funeral, without delay. Unexpectedly, he was forced to stay in the palace for one night and half a day, which was a major delay.

He hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, only to see Qin Ying and the others waiting outside.

Qin Ying said: "King Qin, you have been in the palace for so long, I don't know what happened at home, but I am in a hurry. ”

"Alas, don't say it. Hurry up, hurry away. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Yongning Fang Xu Mansion!"
