"The emperor suddenly went to court today, which frightened the ministers, right?"

When the emperor heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking, "Yes, it scared all the ministers, but not the person I wanted to scare." But ......"

"But what?"

"But it's good not to scare him, it just verifies my conjecture."

It's all a mess.

Su Youyi said simply: "Who is not scared by the emperor?" There is no one who is so calm in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty than ...... Could it be Ji Shoufu? ”

The emperor nodded, with a teachable look in his eyes.

Su Youyi thought of Ji Yushen's intention to let the emperor contract the epidemic, and her heart was very entangled, not knowing whether to tell the emperor the truth, but also worried that the emperor would find out from the clues that Ji Yushen had done it.

The emperor is so smart.

What's more, he was the only one in the entire Qianqing Palace who had contracted the epidemic, which the emperor had long suspected.

Su Youyi was silent and did not speak again.

The emperor said quietly: "Presumably at this moment, the Li Mansion must be very lively. ”

……

"The Criminal Department was ordered to interrogate Elder Li Ge, and no one else should retreat as soon as possible!"

A group of soldiers dressed in official uniforms and armor poured into the Li Mansion and surrounded it on all sides, frightening the subordinates in the Li Mansion to flee in all directions.

The old servant rushed to the upper room to inform Elder Li Ge, "Master, it's not good!" The Criminal Department has come to get people! ”

"Take whom?"

"It is said that Li Shen's corruption case involves the master, and the criminal department wants to take the master for questioning!"

"Nonsense!"

Elder Li Ge raised his eyes angrily, "The old man is the first assistant of the first rank of the dynasty, and now although he has abdicated, he still has the title of the elder of the pavilion." When the emperor recovers from his illness or the new emperor ascends the throne, he will add a first-class title to the old man, who dares to take the old man?! ”

"What's more, Li Shen's matter has already been tried, what does it have to do with the old man? Without the emperor's order, who instructed the people of the Criminal Department to dare to trespass into the Li Mansion? ”

Before the old servant could answer, the head of the Criminal Department had already entered the door and responded to Elder Li Ge with a smile, "Who said that there is no order from the emperor?" Elder Li Ge, what do you think this is? ”

He took out a piece of gold order from his sleeve, which was equivalent to a holy decree, and it was like seeing the emperor's majesty.

Li Ge Lao was taken aback, and the chief secretary said conclusively: "Today, Lord Sima and Master Su and the Criminal Department and the Second Division of Dali Temple have found out the mastermind behind Li Shen's corruption case. The emperor was furious and ordered the person involved in the case to be arraigned, Li Gelao, please come with us! ”

Li Ge Lao frowned, and his heart was flustered.

He naturally knew that Li Shen's case was led by him, and if the case was really investigated, he would not be able to run away at all.

But he was the first assistant of the previous cabinet, and the current first assistant Ji Yushen is his son-in-law, how can Sima Hu have such courage to investigate him?

He pretended to be calm and sat down on the Taishi chair at the top, "There must be some misunderstanding, this official has nothing to do with Li Shen's corruption case, at most it is related to him." ”

The cadres of the Criminal Department did not listen to his explanation at all, "Elder Li Ge, if there is any misunderstanding, you can go to the department and explain it to the chief." The lower officials are only responsible for taking people, and I also ask the elder to not embarrass me. ”

"Bold!"

Li Ge Lao took the case and opened his eyes angrily, "You are bullying the old man and already suing the old man, so you don't take the old man in your eyes, do you?" Tell you, the old man's son-in-law is Ji Yushen, the first assistant of the dynasty, how dare you be presumptuous? ”

When everyone in the Criminal Department heard Ji Yushen's name, they really paused, and they didn't know what they were discussing.

Soon, the chief secretary raised his head again, "Elder Li Ge, the lower officials are here by the emperor's order, and it is useless to let your son-in-law be the king of heaven." If Li Ge Lao insists on not complying, the three hundred elite soldiers brought by the subordinate will be offended. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the exclamation of a female relative in the back house, "Stop!" Don't hurt my children! Yue'er, come to my mother! ”

It's Li Ziyue's voice!

As soon as Li Ge heard that Li Qianyue might be in danger, he immediately couldn't sit still.

"What do you do? The more, the more! ”

He held an old bone and rushed out on crutches, the old servant was busy supporting him, and the people in the criminal department did not dare to stop him.

Although they are prisoners, they are such old people after all, and if something happens to them, they can't afford it.

Li Ge Lao kept running out of the upper room, and saw Li Ziyue holding Li Qianyue in her arms, pushing away a group of soldiers, trying to rush towards the upper room.

"Stop me!"

The old and hoarse voice carried the coercion of being a superior for a long time, and those soldiers were too frightened to act for a while.

Li Ziyue took the opportunity to hold the child and ran over with the nurse and the maid.

Those soldiers reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to the head of the criminal department and said, "My lord, this woman's behavior is suspicious, we are worried that there is a problem, and we want to arrest her for questioning, but she refuses. ”

"That's ......"

"That's the old man's daughter and grandson, how dare you?"

Boss Li Ge shouted, protecting Li Ziyue and Li Qianyue behind him, the two who had just had a big quarrel a few days ago and caused the father and daughter to get along, but at this time they were dependent on each other without suspicion.

The head of the Criminal Department was a little embarrassed, "That's Miss Li, not a suspicious person." The emperor's will is for me to arrest Li Ge Lao for questioning, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

After saying that, he looked at Li Ge Lao, his eyes were serious, "Li Ge Lao, you have also seen it, if you continue like this, Xia Guan can't guarantee that the rest of the Li Mansion will not be harmed." ”

Li Ge Lao tightened his brows, and saw that Li Qianyue, who was holding Li Ziyue in his arms, still had tears in the corners of his eyes, and he was distressed for a while.

There was a long silence.

"Okay, old man will come with you."

"Father!"

Li Ziyue grabbed the corner of his clothes, there was a mess in the house, and she couldn't take care of any etiquette at this time, "Father, what did you do, why did the criminal department come to the house to get people?" ”

The head of the Criminal Department looked at Li Ge Lao playfully, not knowing how he was going to answer his daughter's question.

Li Gelao's face turned red, and it was difficult to explain this problem to Li Ziyue.

When they quarreled a few days ago, Li Ziyue said that he had formed a party for personal gain, saying that he was disloyal and unjust, and he was righteous at that time, and slapped Li Ziyue.

If you tell the reason why he was arrested today, it will be a slap in the face.

He avoided the important and prevaricated: "It's not a big deal, you take good care of Yue'er at home, and wait for Yushen to come back." Don't move around, it's not peaceful outside. ”

"Father!"

Li Ziyue was so anxious that tears fell out, "It's all at this time, are you still unwilling to tell your daughter the truth?" Do you have to wait until the Li Mansion is raided, and wait until Yue'er and I are confiscated as slaves? ”

Li Ge Lao was excited, and when he was about to say something, he saw that the Criminal Department and a group of soldiers were around, and it was difficult to say anything at this time.

He endured the pain and said: "Don't worry, with Yushen, you won't fall to this point." The scenery of my Li Mansion is still there, there is Yue'er, and the fireworks of my Li family will always have a heritage......"
