"Oh? Is this an admission that the quinine theft has something to do with you? Gu Huanli raised his eyes and looked at Luo Ming'an.

Luo Mingan hung his head and was silent, and Gu Huanli raised his hand to signal to the inspector of the Criminal Department: "Everyone has confessed, what are you waiting for?" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the Criminal Department hurriedly stepped forward and escorted Luo Ming'an to the prison without saying a word.

just turned around and walked halfway, but the team of the criminal department was suddenly stopped by someone, and Gu Huanli couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

I don't know who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to stop him from murdering His Royal Highness.

After a while, I saw an imposing figure coming towards this side, his demeanor was quite respectful, and he leaned over and made a big salute to Gu Huan first: "See His Royal Highness the Fierce King." ”

Gu Huanli raised his lips and smiled when he saw this, he really didn't expect that the commander of the dignified West Factory would come to the door in person because of a small theft.

"Lord Wang is very polite, get up quickly." Gu Huanli motioned to Wang Yong, but he pretended to be ignorant and asked him, "I don't know what kind of wind blew Lord Wang to the Criminal Department?" ”

Wang Yong couldn't help but show a trace of anger in his eyes when he heard this, but in front of Gu Huanli, how could he dare to let this anger rage indiscriminately?

Wang Yong shook his head at this time: "Your Highness doesn't know that Your Highness is here, and her behavior is abrupt, so I ask Your Highness to forgive me." ”

Gu Huanli waved his hand casually when he heard this: "This king is just idle and going around, Lord Wang didn't know before, and this move is harmless." ”

Seeing that Gu Huanli's attitude was quite kind, Wang Yong went straight to the point: "The lower officials did come today to ask about something important. ”

Gu Huanli nodded: "Lord Wang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

With Gu Huanli's permission, Wang Yong said as a matter of course: "The arrest of this person by the Criminal Department was handed over by His Majesty to my Xichang for personal trial, but now he has fallen into the prison of the Criminal Department, I'm afraid something is wrong." ”

Wang Yong kept tempting Gu Huanli, but he looked indifferent, and retorted to the other party with a contemptuous smile: "But since this person was caught by the Criminal Department, where is the reason to return it to Xichang for trial?" ”

Then he didn't plan to return the person to the West Factory like this, Wang Yong was suddenly indignant in his heart, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"Forgive the officials for saying a lot, the Xichang and the Criminal Department have always been that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and the Xichang handles the case, and the Criminal Department should not have intervened."

Gu Huanli was not moved by his words, and still went his own way: "But the Criminal Department has already intervened in this way now, what can Lord Wang do?" ”

It's only a few words, and it's quite reasonable, but now it's directly starting to coerce with his identity.

Wang Yong didn't dare to confront Gu Huanli for a while, and felt that he took out the holy decree he had received from Emperor Liang Qin from his arms.

"Your Highness, look, the lower official is indeed on the order of His Majesty to try this case, and I also ask Your Highness Haihan to return the person to Xichang." Wang Yong handed the holy decree to Gu Huanli and said.

But he really underestimated Gu Huanli, he had been in the court for so many years, how could he put a holy decree in his eyes?

Wang Yong was arguing with Gu Huanli on the grounds of the holy decree, but he raised his eyebrows in the direction behind Wang Yong.

Wang Yong took the opportunity to look over, only to see that the secret guard of the Fierce King's Mansion had already come from behind him with another holy decree.

The holy decree clearly wrote that the person would be handed over to the criminal department for trial, Wang Yong was angry for a while, but he had nothing to say.

It wasn't until he calmed down and remembered his two subordinates who had not yet come back to recover that Wang Yong looked at Lu Xuan beside Gu Huanli: "This official heard that this case was personally investigated by Lord Lu?" ”

Hearing Wang Yong suddenly call his name, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Lord Huiwang, it is the lower official." ”

Seeing this, Wang Yong immediately asked Lu Xuan: "Then dare to ask Lord Lu, did you see the two guards of the West Factory on the way to handle the case?" ”

Lu Xuan couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: this old guy really still suspected that he had come here.

But how can Lu Xuan explain this situation? Do you want to tell Wang Yong the truth and let him know that his subordinates actually died at the hands of Qin Xiao?

Lu Xuan thought about it again and again, but still thought that he couldn't tell the truth, so he shook his head and denied: "Xia Guan didn't see the two adults in Xichang. ”

Wang Yong didn't believe it, and turned to Lu Xuan and asked, "Since that's the case, then dare to ask Lord Lu how he found the traces of those batch of quinines?" ”

Lu Xuan suddenly didn't know where to start, she was dressed up in disguise before, pretending to be Shen Xixu's attendant, and went to the Imperial Medicine Pavilion with her, but at this moment, she couldn't say that she was the one who entered the Imperial Medicine Pavilion at that time.

But if not, how would she explain that she had learned of the theft of quinine in the palace?

Lu Xuan was puzzled, but Gu Huanli on the side suddenly opened his mouth to relieve her: "Lord Wang also said just now, Xichang and the Criminal Department have always been well water and not river water, so when will the Criminal Department explain the case to Xichang?" ”

With Gu Huanli in charge of the Criminal Department, Wang Yong naturally did not dare to trespass, although the answer to what he said just now had not yet been asked, but for the sake of Gu Huanli's face, he had to forcibly swallow it back into his stomach.

But how can this kind of thing be easily reconciled? After being silent for a long time, Wang Yong spoke again: "Lord Lu really hasn't seen anyone from the West Factory?" ”

Lu Xuan originally had no confidence in her heart, but it can be seen that Gu Huanli supported herself like that, and she had nothing to fear.

Lu Xuan immediately asked Wang Yong rhetorically: "Xiaguan has indeed never seen the two adults of Xichang, but I don't know why Lord Wang is so determined and asks repeatedly?" ”

Hearing this, the attendant standing beside Wang Yong immediately retorted: "We are obviously on the edge of the Li River, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the county lord of Pingchuan, how could we be separated from the other two brothers?" ”

Lu Xuan refuted this even more, and she immediately sneered at the two of them: "You also said this brother, you saw the county lord of Pingchuan and not the official, why do you suspect the official?" ”

Lu Xuan asked politely, but in fact, the implication was to lead the object of their suspicion to Shen Xixu, but she clearly knew that these people did not have such courage at all.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Lu Xuan mention Shen Xixu, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth in the moment he spoke.

Seeing that there was enough trouble, it was time to end, so Gu Huanli stood up and presided over the overall situation: "Today, I bothered Lord Wang to run this trip in vain, and there are still serious cases in the Criminal Department, so I won't entertain Lord Wang, Lord Wang, please do it." ”

Although Wang Yong's heart was full of anger at this time, he had to give up because he was able to speak well in front of him, and with the support of Gu Huanli's big tree, he stood here in vain, so he had to give up.

"Today is the official abrupt, the lower official will retire, and I hope that the Criminal Department will solve this case as soon as possible." Wang Yong deliberately said the last sentence with a threatening charm, and then turned around and walked away.

Seeing everyone in Xichang leaving, Gu Huanli then turned his attention to Lu Xuan: "Regarding the two people who were lost in Xichang for no reason, should Lord Lu give this king an explanation?" ”

Hearing this, before Lu Xuan could speak, Qin Xiao had already knelt down towards Gu Huanli: "Back to Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Lu, but it is done by his subordinates." ”

In fact, Gu Huanli already knew it in his heart, after all, he sent Qin Xiao to follow Lu Xuan, whether Lu Xuan had the ability to dispose of the two people in the West Factory, he knew better than anyone else in his heart.

Seeing that Qin Wei took the blame on himself, Lu Xuan hurriedly rushed up to defend Gu Huanli before he could express his position:

"No, Your Highness, this matter is not to be complained about by the Qin guards, it is all the idea of the lower officials, if Your Highness wants to punish it, then punish the lower officials."

Lu Xuan and Qin Wei both knelt in front of Gu Huanli and pleaded with him, but he raised his lips and smiled after a moment of silence: "When did this king say that he would punish anyone?" ”

Lu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, only to see Gu Huanli suddenly patting Qin Xiao's shoulder gently: "Good job." ”

What is the situation, Lu Xuan was stunned.

Gu Huanli regained his seriousness at this time, and turned to Qin Wei and asked, "Can the corpse be disposed of?" ”

Qin Xiao nodded resolutely: "Your Highness, rest assured, it has been dealt with without a trace." ”

"That's fine." The wrinkles between Gu Huanli's eyebrows gradually calmed down.

At this moment, Lu Xuan almost doubted whether he had just been carried away by the panic.

Qin Wei was brought out by Gu Huanli himself, and his ruthlessness was just a drop in the bucket compared to Gu Huanli.

Exempted from Qin Xiao's punishment, Gu Huanli felt a little uneasy in his heart, and then looked at Lu Xuan: "How did the people in Xichang know that this case was related to you?" ”

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and replied casually: "Probably when I went to the county government of Li County to recover Quining, I was inadvertently exposed by my own people." ”

Lu Xuan replied disapplausively, but Gu Huanli seemed to have a trace of worry in his heart: "It seems that Wang Yong is going to target you." ”

"What?" Lu Xuan was surprised, and didn't understand what Gu Huanli meant.

Wang Yong's temperament has always been revenge, and Gu Huanli knows this well.

This time, he thought that Lu Xuan would be able to find out the case incognito, but he didn't expect that she would finally expose herself.

According to Wang Yong's character, if Lu Xuan is not allowed to pay the corresponding price as repayment, I am afraid he will not give up.

But at this moment, under Lu Xuan's questioning, Gu Huanli did not answer, just shook his head and said "nothing" to her, and then sat down indifferently.

"Let's go, thoroughly try this case, and then order someone to send Quinine back to the Imperial Medicine Pavilion." Gu Huanli opened her mouth to send Lu Xuan away, and she retreated in a daze.

Qin Wei saw that His Royal Highness seemed to be worried, and when he saw Lu Xuan leaving, he asked, "Your Highness is worried that this matter will involve Lord Lu's safety?" ”

Gu Huanli didn't hide it, and then nodded: "Wang Yong has always been stingy, and he is used to slandering in front of His Majesty, this king is worried that he will use this matter as a gimmick to impeach Lu Xuan, which will bring disaster to her." ”

"Then what does Your Highness have in mind?" Qin Wei asked.

Gu Huanli shook his head: "Let's wait and see what happens." ”
