The chaos in the study finally calmed down. Vertex Shen Wei was taken into the prison of the Criminal Department, waiting for interrogation, and Yang Ming took Fu Huaisang back to Fu's house to rest.

Qi Yuheng went to the Meng family in person, comforted Meng Zhiqiu, who had just lost his parent, and buried Meng Qiu'an.

Gu Yixuan and his entourage returned to the Second Prince's Mansion together.

"The matter of the black fire has not yet come to a conclusion, and Lord Shen has this kind of thing, which is really worrying. What should we do next?" Qi Musheng looked embarrassed, the matter of black fire, he wanted to join forces with Shen Wei to give Qi Yuheng a heavy blow, but he didn't expect to kill such a horse pistol halfway.

"Second Brother Qi, now that Lord Shen is in prison, the Black Fire case is going to be handed over to others. "Zuo is still a person from the Criminal Department, it's just a change of unfamiliarity. Fortunately, the criminal department is already well organized by Shen Wei, and there will be no moths.

"What can I do then?" Lin Feng was a little anxious when he heard this. If Qi Yuheng did something in the Criminal Department during this period, wouldn't it have made him take advantage of the loophole?

"There's no need to worry, the Criminal Department has always been managed by Lord Shen before, and most of the people are still under Second Brother Qi. In the case of black fire, there will not be too many mistakes, and it only needs to be carried out step by step. "For Qi Yuheng's blow, naturally it can't be missing.

"Gu is most worried now, it should be Lord Shen. "Even if I know the hidden story, I can't say it on the table after all. Lord Shen is in the prison of the Criminal Department, although he says that his life is worry-free, but it is inevitable that he will suffer from flesh and skin. Gu Yixuan was only afraid of his body, and he couldn't bear this kind of torture.

Qi Musheng sighed, what Gu Yixuan was worried about was not what he was worried about.

Even if Shen Wei has martial arts, he is not weaker than those of them who have practiced martial arts since childhood. The board and torture equipment of the punishment department, I don't know how many things he can withstand.

Qi Yuheng and Meng Zhiqiu knew the rules of the Criminal Department, so naturally they would not kill them, but they were more proficient in this method of torturing people than anyone else.

"Brother Yixuan, what can you do to protect Lord Shen from suffering?" Qi Musheng set his eyes on Gu Yixuan, hoping that he would have some wonderful ideas.

However, Gu Yixuan also shook his head: "Second Brother Qi, as a prince, you can't protect each other, let alone Gu." ”

"Why don't we go and beg the emperor?" Lin Feng said. He thought that if the emperor opened his mouth, he would definitely be able to make Shen Wei suffer less.

"You are really..."Gu Yixuan stared at him angrily: "The emperor can't come forward to mediate in this matter." ”

"Why?" Lin Feng was puzzled, how could even the emperor not be able to control this matter?

As soon as Gu Yixuan saw him like this, he knew what he was going to say, sighed lightly, and then said unfinished words: "It's not that the emperor can't control it, but even if the emperor has the heart to protect him, he can't say it." ”

"The matter itself is to be reported to the Holy Lord, and the Emperor will personally interrogate it. The emperor is naturally in control. But what you are talking about is ordering the maintenance of Lord Shen, which the emperor can't do. Gu Yixuan paced while preaching to Lin Feng.

"The law of Darui has always been fair and strict, and no one can find a single self. If the emperor opens his mouth to exempt Lord Shen from punishment, it will be against the water, and the holy words will be against the mouth, which is such a big deal for the people and for the court officials. Once this precedent is set, not to mention the loss of the emperor's majesty, if he wants to use the law to rectify Darui in the future, the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced! Once it was found out that Qi Yuheng had resold the black fire and connived at the family for personal gain, according to the law, he should have dismissed all the people involved from his posts and investigated them! At the least, he would have been reduced to an official position and demoted to a commoner, and at worst, he would be sent to the frontier and exiled to a cold land. Eternal life and eternal life are not allowed to return to Beijing. But if the emperor follows what Brother Lin just said, sets a precedent and exempts Lord Shen from the punishment that he should be punished first, then, how should the emperor deal with the black fire incident in the future?" Gu Yixuan's remarks made a sharp step on the dead end.

"Hearing you say that, it seems to be true. Lin Feng scratched the back of his head and nodded: "But Lord Shen is a scholar after all, how can he withstand those punishments?"

"If you can stand it, you have to bear it, and if you can't stand it, you have to bear it. Gu Yixuan put his hands behind his back, biting word by word clearly.

"Even if Meng Qiu'an is self-inflicted, he is also a human life. Even if Lord Shen is eliminating harm for the people, his hands are stained with blood. He could not avoid this punishment no matter what. He also thought that Meng Qiu'an's death was a good thing, but it happened at such a time, and he died at the hands of Shen Wei.

"What if... His Royal Highness the Great Prince, what should I do if he deliberately framed Lord Shen in the middle of the punishment?"

Qi Musheng's words also aroused a trace of worry when he said: "Brother Yixuan, according to the heart of the eldest brother, he can do such things." ”

Gu Yixuan was silent, he didn't know that Qi Yuheng could do such a bad thing. It's just that he is thinking about how to transform such a crisis into Shen Wei's vitality.

"If that's the case, it depends on how much His Royal Highness the Great Prince can do. In his eyes, a fine light flashed, beckoned to Qi Musheng and the others, and whispered to tell him what he was thinking about.

And on this side, in Meng's mansion, Meng Zhiqiu watched his son be buried, but the look on his face was indifferent, without the heart-rending sadness of Fang Cai.

"Old Meng, this time, this palace owes you a great favor. Qi Yuheng stood aside, looking at Meng Zhiqiu's temples and a few more strands of gray hair.

His eyes returned to Meng Qiu'an's grave, and his face was full of regret.

He bowed to Meng Zhiqiu, which was extremely respectful of him: "Elder Meng, this hall is here, thank you." ”

Meng Zhiqiu took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long time: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince is serious, the old man is just being loyal." ”

Turning around, facing Qi Yuheng, a pair of eyes met his: "Since the old man agreed, as soon as he became loyal to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, he will definitely do it." This time the death of the dog, if it can help His Royal Highness the Great Prince, then Qiu'an will die a well-deserved death. ”

Qi Yuheng got up and nodded: "What Elder Meng said and did, this hall is grateful." Don't worry, what the palace promised to Meng Lao will definitely do for Meng Lao. ”

When Meng Zhiqiu heard this, a smile of comfort appeared on his face: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, the old man naturally believes it. Then, the old man is waiting for the good news of His Royal Highness the Great Prince. ”
