After eating, everyone did not rush back, but accompanied Mrs. Xie to talk around the fire for a while.

The stove was blazing brightly, and the whole house was warm.

The juniors of the Xie family are all very good-natured, no matter what they are like when they are outside on weekdays, but when they accompany the old lady at this time, they have become well-behaved and caring, deliberately playing treasure and laughing in front of Mrs. Xie to make the old lady happy.

Old Madam Xie was very happy, and bursts of laughter rang out from time to time in the whole room.

……

On the other side, contrary to the peace and joy of the Xie family, Mo Linglan and Qi Wenfu were standing in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Both were covered in blood.

Mo Linglan had a piece on his head, and a large piece of his clothes on his body was torn, and he stretched out his hand to support Qi Wenfu.

And Qi Wenfu's face was pale, and he could see the sword on his body, and an extremely long cut was drawn on his arm, and the sleeves on it were gone, and there were blood stains on his entire arm at this time.

"Is this Bo family crazy?"

Mo Linglan gritted his teeth and said.

They came here tonight, originally to pry open Bo Xi's mouth, so that he could testify against Bo Chong and the second prince.

Unexpectedly, they had just entered the prison when they bumped into the person in the prison who was being ruthless to Bo Xi.

The entry of the two instantly alarmed the assassins in the prison, and when those people saw the two of them, they rushed up directly as if they were crazy and wanted to kill them, and he and Qi Wenfu were not prepared at all, the Bo family actually dared to take a risk, and at this time sent someone to the prison of the Criminal Department to assassinate Bo Xi.

Caught off guard for a while, they suffered a loss as soon as they fought.

Fortunately, Qi Wenfu has been careful these days, no matter where he goes, he has people with him, and the movement here has also alarmed the people of the Criminal Department, so he took the people down, otherwise they are afraid that they will really have to fold in this prison of the Criminal Department.

Qi Wenfu's voice was hoarse and said, "It doesn't have to be the Bo family. ”

"Huh?" Mo Linglan was shocked when he heard this, "Isn't it the Bo family?" ”

"Yes."

Qi Wenfu said in a low voice: "The Bo family is not so stupid. ”

Those people just now seemed to want to kill Bo Xi and kill him, no matter what the motive was, they were all biased towards the people on the Bo family's side.

But Qi Wenfu knew about the Bo family......

Or Bo Chong, he's not that stupid.

The relationship between Bo Xi and the Bo Chong brothers has always been very good, and the two are brothers of the same father and mother, even if Bo Xi is imprisoned in prison after the incident, he is very likely to bite the previous things to death, and carry everything down alone, so that Bo Chong and the Bo family can get out of it.

Bo Chong sent someone to assassinate Bo Xi at this time, which would not only chill Bo Xi's heart, but also easily fall into people's hands and make the emperor suspicious.

Qi Wenfu clutched his injured arm, and clouds accumulated in his eyes.

It's just a pity that none of the assassins just now were left alive, and the only ones who were still alive took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Otherwise, catch one and you'll know who's fishing in the middle of the troubled waters.

"Lord Qi, Master Mo, are you okay?"

Shi He came very quickly, and when he heard that someone had broken into the prison of the Criminal Department, he hurriedly changed his clothes and hurried over.

When he walked into the prison and saw the corpses lying on the ground, as well as the two Qi Wenfu who were extremely embarrassed, his eyelids suddenly jumped, and his face changed greatly and he quickly approached the two.

When Shi He saw the injury on Qi Wenfu's body, he said urgently: "Why is the injury so serious, Lord Qi, I will let someone go to the doctor." ”

"No need."

Qi Wenfu said: "It's just an external injury on my body, and it doesn't hurt my muscles and bones." Master Shi, you better hurry up and let people go to see if Bo Xike is still alive. ”

When Shi He heard the word "Bo Xi", he thought of the people who were imprisoned in this prison, he immediately turned blue, and he didn't care about the two of Qi Wenfu, so he hurriedly walked inside, because he walked too fast, and kicked the corpse on the ground, almost falling.

Mo Linglan lowered his voice: "Is it him?" ”

Qi Wenfu knew what he was asking, and shook his head: "It shouldn't be." ”

The shock and astonishment in Shi He's eyes just now, as well as his panic when he mentioned Bo Xi, couldn't be faked.

Shi He is the secretary of the Criminal Department, once something happens to the key criminals in this prison, and it is still the people of the Bo family who die, the emperor will definitely be angry, and when those assassins did it to him and Mo Linglan just now, they didn't spare any hands.

With such a ruthless appearance, it was clear that he wanted to kill them.

And if something happens to the two of them in this prison of the Criminal Department, Shi He will bear most of the responsibility when the time comes.

Whether it is the eldest prince or Shi He, they are not so stupid that they will risk letting Shi He lose his position as the secretary of the criminal department to do such a thankless task.

Mo Linglan frowned tightly when he heard this.

Qi Wenfu said: "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

After Mo Linglan helped Qi Wenfu to walk in, he saw a few bloodied people coming out of it, and Bo Xi's body had already been stained red with blood, lying on the ground like gold paper in front of him, and a person next to him was pressing the blood hole on his body with his hand to stop the bleeding.

"Lord Shi, how are people?"

Qi Wenfu asked after approaching.

Shi He saw that it was him who came in, and said with a blue face: "Bo Xi is not dead, the sword grazed his heart, and almost killed him." ”

When Qi Wenfu heard this, he lowered his head and glanced at Bo Xi, and saw that his eyes were blankly open, and those eyes were extremely dark as if he had lost something, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was resentful of something.

Qi Wenfu lowered his eyes to hide the look in his eyes, and said to Shi He: "It's good for people to live." ”

Shi He's face was extremely ugly: "What's good, the witnesses sent by King Rui before have died, and the most important ones, as well as the people who helped the Bo family replace the disaster relief money and food before, are all dead." ”

"Those who keep are those who are unwilling to care."

Qi Wenfu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You're dead?" ”

"Yes!"

Shi He pointed to one of the bloody people on the ground: "The head was almost cut off, where can I survive." ”

"Lord Qi, if you came to question Bo Xi at the behest of His Majesty this time, you should know that this servant and the other two are the most important witnesses in Bo Xi's case."

"When they die, what will they use to testify against Bo Xi when the time comes?"

When Shi He spoke, his face was extremely ugly.

He never thought that someone would dare to break into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and assassinate Bo Xi to kill people.

After Bo Xi was imprisoned, the emperor never said whether he wanted to continue the investigation.

Although Shi He wanted to help the eldest prince and the Cao family, he didn't want to involve himself, so he just locked people in prison, just waiting for King Rui and them to come forward again, and then the emperor would interrogate these people strictly after he opened his mouth.

The men who had worked and replaced the money and food died suddenly, but the previous confessions had not been left.

Shi He didn't have to think about it, if this matter reached the emperor's ears, the emperor would be angry.
