In the Li Mansion, after the depression of Li Gelao's arrest, it was lively again.

It's just that this kind of excitement is different from before.

The ministers of the Li Party were afraid of being implicated in the matter of Li Gelao, and they had to come to the door to ask Ji Yushen for a letter, so there were more cars and horses parked at the back door than at the front door.

When the servant went to the small courtyard to tell Ji Yushen, the expression on his face was wonderful, "Uncle, the adults are waiting to see you outside the back door, ...... look?"

"It's all here, please come in."

Ji Yushen was surprised by this meeting, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Please come to the Juxuan in the garden to meet you." ”

On this cold day, the north wind is howling, and if you don't see you in the house, what garden should you go to?

The servant was slandered in his heart, and he didn't dare to say more, so he bowed down and agreed to retreat.

Juxuan is a place to enjoy flowers in autumn, transparent and spacious on all sides, but at this moment, it is too cold.

The ministers trembled like chaff, and the servants could not stand it, so they ordered some braziers to be brought in, but it was still much colder than in the house.

It was so frozen, and after waiting for a while, Ji Yushen was late.

"Ji Shoufu, you can come."

"Shousuke-sama......"

Ji Yushen bowed his head one by one, "Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time, please take a seat." ”

The ministers looked at the seats in this chrysanthemum, all the marble chairs, hard and cold, how can people sit?

couldn't stand Ji Yushen's mouth, and everyone had to be cold. Sit down.

Ji Yu waved his hand deeply and ordered the servants to retreat, and then said: "Your Excellency, forgive me, there are many eyes and ears in the house now, and it is convenient to speak here, and I have wronged you." ”

I see.

The ministers suddenly felt sad, it seems that the fall of Li Ge Lao is the trend of the times, and even the Li Mansion now has ears and eyes.

Look at the chrysanthemums around this chrysanthemum. The scene of the withering flowers, a sense of sadness suddenly rose, and the heart that had been thinking about how to clear Li Ge Lao's name and save him was also half discouraged.

Ji Yu secretly looked at everyone's faces, and smiled slightly when he saw this.

He chose this depressed and desolate place to meet guests, just to make everyone's blood cold and cold, and then the next words are easy to say.

"Your Excellency, why are you here today?"

"This ......"

The ministers who were still eager to try, they didn't know how to speak at this time, and they didn't know how to speak for a long time before they came to the humane: "Lord Shoufu, this matter ...... Elder Li Ge"

"yes."

Someone opened their mouths, and someone continued, "I heard that the Criminal Department has verified all the evidence, and the witnesses have also opened their mouths. If this continues, the sentence will be sooner or later. ”

Ji Yushen nodded, "It turned out that it was for this matter, and I have been thinking of a way to do this." It's just that...... As said, the Criminal Department has already verified, all the evidence and witnesses are conclusive, how can the case be overturned? ”

The meaning of this is that he does not intend to overturn the case for Li Gelao.

The ministers looked at each other.

Some people have started to move in their hearts, and it is better not to overturn the case for Li Gelao, so as not to affect them, the ministers of the Li Party. After all, Li Gelao was involved in Li Shen's corruption case, and their henchmen were inextricably linked.

What's more, now that the first assistant is Ji Yushen, even if there is no Li Ge Lao, their status in the court will not change.

Ji Yushen looked at everyone's expressions, and suddenly said, "Even so, Elder Li Ge is my father-in-law after all. I will find a way to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to see him, even if I can't overturn the case, I can't let him suffer too many grievances in prison. ”

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief all of a sudden, and someone smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we really can't help Li Ge Lao's case." When Lord Shoufu went to visit Elder Li Ge, he also greeted us on our behalf! ”

They didn't even plan to take a look at Li Ge Lao in person, for fear of being implicated.

Ji Yushen smiled and nodded, the atmosphere in the seat suddenly relaxed, and some people talked about the weather this winter......

In the gloomy cell, only a small skylight let in the light.

Even the light was in the shape of an iron fence, and the tightest interrogation room of the Criminal Department, where brick by brick seemed ordinary, but in fact it was the strongest copper wall.

"Elder Li Ge, so far, are you still unwilling to admit your guilt?"

Sima Hu yawned and leaned back on the back of the Taishi chair, "You have been carrying it for so many days, you are not tired, and the lower officials are also tired." I thought it was hard enough to collect evidence, but I didn't expect this interrogation to be even harder. ”

He was slandered in his heart, and he had already known that he would hand over this task to Prince Yong and Su Qing, so that he would not be able to deal with Li Ge Lao here alone.

It's a pity that Prince Yong's status is noble, and Su Qing has other important tasks, so he should be left behind, Su Qing also said: "Anyway, everything that should be investigated has been investigated, and now it's just waiting for Elder Li Ge to admit his guilt, and there is no other major matter." I'm sure Brother Sima, you can handle it. ”

Prince Yong agreed with him.

Sima Hu was still very useful in his heart at that time, but now he understands that these two people clearly knew that it was a hot potato, so they handed it over to him to do.

Li Ge Lao was wearing a prison uniform of the Criminal Department, with a big prisoner character drawn on his chest on his white coarse cloth clothes.

His expression was as arrogant and disdainful as in the court, "The old man wants to see Ji Yushen." ”

Sima Hu lowered his face, "It's been so many days, just ask and ask you this sentence, is it useful to see him?" Does Elder Li Ge still think that such a shocking corruption case can be concealed by someone in the DPRK? ”

Elder Li Ge raised his head and glanced at Sima Hu with disdain.

What does a courtier like him know about having no basis from the grassroots?

The forces of the Li Party in the DPRK and China are complicated, and even if the evidence of his corruption is conclusive, the emperor has to take care of the people's hearts. As long as Ji Yushen leads the ministers to write to the emperor, there may not be no room for turnaround.

These words, told Sima Hu that he didn't understand.

Sima Hu was despised by Li Gelao, and he was stunned for a while, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of the words from the palace.

The emperor allowed Li Ge to see Ji Yushen.

He changed his words, "Okay, Li Ge can see you if you want to, since you refuse to admit your guilt, maybe let Ji Shoufu persuade you, and you will change your mind." ”

With that, he got up from his seat, rubbed his sore shoulders, and slowly paced out.

Li Ge Lao's inquiring gaze was glued to his back, and it took a while to retract it.

How could Sima Hu have such a good heart and be willing to let him see Ji Yushen?

No matter what, the top priority at the moment is to see Ji Yushen and guide him to plan the layout in the court, so that he can get out......

In the afternoon, Ji Yushen arrived as scheduled.

Li Ge Lao was drowsy in the cell, and when he heard the jailer say that Ji Yushen was coming, he immediately became energetic.

Dressed in green clothes and standing tall and jade, Ji Yushen's figure slowly walked from outside the cell, as calm as usual.

Elder Li Ge immediately stepped forward, staring at Ji Yushen tightly through a fence.
