Chaoyuan Hall.

"Your Majesty, the Uighur war is tight, and now the two sides are deadlocked, and they don't please each other; if we don't negotiate peace again, I'm afraid the four princes will—" Wu Qiu, the squire of the military department, stepped forward and said. Qi Xing nodded slightly: "Western Xia and Tubo have always had trade dealings with my Tianyuan, so send them back to the group of merchants who were detained before." Wu Aiqing, I heard that you joined the army at the border in your early years, so I will leave this matter to you. ”

"Yes. Wu Qiu was stunned for a moment, but His Majesty sent him by name, which was also a kind of value, and he immediately agreed.

Qi Xing nodded with satisfaction and looked at Wei Kun on the side: "Taifu went to the prison yesterday, has he ever interrogated Liu Bin?"

"Although the old minister went to the prison yesterday, the witness was not there, so he was not arraigned. Wait for a while, and then go with Lord Han. Wei Kun responded. Qi Xing sneered: "Yes, Taifu should go as soon as possible, so as not to delay this case again and again, and there will be more variables." I heard that King Yu was infected with wind and cold today, have you ever gone to see it?"

Wei Kun shook his head: "The old minister went once, but he was stopped by King Yu to avoid suspicion, so I don't know how sick he is." ”

"What do you say? Qi Xing patted the handrail and said loudly: "Yesterday, the harem was cleared, and I will have a big banquet in the Hening Hall tonight, Taifu remember to come." ”

"Yes. ”

After going to the court, Han Shanggui just wanted to go to Wei Kun, but the subordinates he sent to the military camp to find someone hurriedly ran over and pulled him aside, looking panicked: "My lord, it's not good, that person's family is all dead!"

"What?" Han Sangyu was taken aback: "The family is all dead?"

"The body is in the yamen! I heard that it has been dead for two days!"

These two words suddenly popped out in his heart, Han Shanggui turned around to go to the yamen, but collided with Wei Kun: "Lord Han, let's go?"

Wei Kun's expression was as usual, and he couldn't see anything unusual, but Han Shanggui felt a kind of sarcasm and pride in his life, he forcibly held back the waves in his heart, and said lightly: "I'm afraid that Lord Wei can't go to the heavenly prison today, and he has to go to the yamen." The body of the witness's family was found and is now in Yamen. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Kun suddenly understood in his heart, and the old man's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Han Shanggui: "Is it? Then Master Lao Han will lead the way." ”

Yuwang Mansion.

"Your Royal Highness, Gonggong Li is here, saying that the demon has been cleared, and His Majesty will have a big banquet in the palace tonight, please go. The little guy bowed and said. Qi Yu bowed slightly: "Got it, you go down." ”

The little servant closed the door, Lin Jie jumped down from the beam of the room, and quietly saluted Qi Yu: "Your Highness, the Shang Criminal Division is ready." ”

"I've always been at ease when you do things. The man opened the dark compartment in front of him and took out a palm-sized box, carved from a single piece of amethyst, and the box alone was worth a lot of money. Qi Yu gently opened the clasp, a faint golden light bloomed from the box, and a palm-sized golden-red flower appeared in front of the two of them: "Although it is not the first time I have seen it, this Mingrui smoke is indeed extremely beautiful." ”

This was given to her by the imperial grandfather when the queen mother was still the princess. At that time, the queen mother was pregnant with her first child, but unfortunately she was born prematurely and died the next day. Later, the queen mother gave him Mingrui Yanxia, but unfortunately this artifact is not used by mortals at all, so it can only be made as an ornament.

"Is Your Highness going to give it to Miss Jun tonight?"

"No, it won't be given to her so sooner. Qi Yu closed the box and smiled slightly: "Her words are true or false, I haven't seen such a person for a long time." I guess she needed this medicine because she wanted to save her master, but she never admitted it, and I was quite interested. It can be seen that she is a person who cherishes her life...... So which one will she choose, Mingrui Yanxia or her own life?"

Lin Jie was silent for a moment: "My subordinates dare to guess that Miss Jun will choose medicine." ”

Qi Yu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

In her eyes, there is no ambition like His Highness. Qi Yu's gaze paused for a moment, and then landed on the amethyst box, half-lowered his eyes, and muttered, as if to himself: "Yes, why does she have no ambitions......

People who can obviously climb to the top of the mountain, why do they indulge in the comfortable scenery halfway up the mountain?

"That's it. Zhang San's side has been arranged, right?Has the news on the minister's side been released?" The man turned around, his eyes returned to the bottom, and Lin Xi hurriedly replied: "It's all arranged, Your Highness, please rest assured." ”

"That's good...... Let the Han family wait for tonight's Hongmen banquet. ”

Yamen.

"The deceased Zhang Sanji's wife, children, and mother were found in the river west of the city this morning, when the blood on his body had dried up, and the bubble was white, and it was preliminarily concluded that he was killed with a knife, and the time should have been two days ago. As he spoke, he closed the white cloth. Wei Kun coughed lightly: "Is there an eyewitness?"

"Yes, it's his neighbor. He said that Zhang San had made a windfall, and that he had been spending all his days drinking and drinking all day long, and had even gone to his house to borrow grain, promising to pay it back the next day; as a result, he did not return it the next day, and he went to the yamen to knock on the door and find no one, but only saw a room full of bloodstains, so he came to the yamen to report the case. Our men searched again, and only then did they find the body in the river. The headcatcher replied.

"A windfall?" Wei Kun looked at Han Shanggui: "But where is the money?"

"Never found. But we found ...... The deceased's suicide note. The head catcher gave the catcher behind him a look, and the latter hurriedly handed over a piece of paper, and it can be seen from the handwriting how panicked Zhang San was when he wrote these words. Wei Kun didn't rush to look at it, but turned to Han Shanggui: "Lord Han, please send someone to the heavenly prison to take out the pen, and let's check the handwriting." ”

Han Shanggui was anxious to look at the piece of paper, and when he heard the words, he turned around and ordered a few words to his subordinates, and when he turned his head, Wei Kun had already spread out the paper, only to see that it was written: I know they won't keep me, so I wrote these words, and all I said before was - the handwriting suddenly broke when it came here, it can be seen that Zhang San had been found at this time, as for this paper, because it was pressed under the book, it escaped and was not found.

"It's all about ...... It's a real headache to break it here. Wei Kun sighed and said to Han Shanggui: "Lord Han, what do you think he is going to write later? Is it true or false?"

Han Shanggui's throat moved, and he said lightly: "You and I discuss this matter in vain, it is all personal, it is better to leave it to Your Majesty for judgment, so as not to lose fairness." ”

Wei Kun sneered and said to the head catcher: "This matter involves General Liu's corruption and bribery, we will take this physical evidence away first, and we will return it in good condition when it is used up." Saying that, he raised his legs and walked out, Han Shanggui was stunned: "Lord Wei, where are you going?"

"Enter the palace. Since Lord Han said that His Majesty's judgment is not unfair, then let's not delay, it is naturally better to go to the palace at this time than to waste saliva here. ”

Criminal Division.

Bang - a basin of cold water splashed suddenly, Rong Xia moved her eyelids, slowly opened her eyes, and hit her stomach hard: "The mouth is quite hard, I don't say anything about such a toss, I am really loyal." ”

"What about loyalty?" A grandmother squatted down beside her, patted Rong Xia's face, and said in a mocking tone: "Her master is going to break his wrist as a strong man, no matter how strict his mouth is, no matter how deep his affection is, he can't compare to his own life in this palace." ”

"No, Concubine Li looks like she has no quarrel with the world, but she is actually the most scheming. Back then, Concubine Qi killed the first queen, but now she can still be favored, saying that she didn't use the technique of overwhelming victory, who would believe it? It's just that I pity Miss Rongxia, a person who is very smart, and now she has become like this, and she is about to go to see Meng Po. ”

The two laughed, but Rong Xia's heart went cold. She didn't believe that Concubine Li would kill herself, she had been loyal to her for so many years, how could she be so affectionate...... But listening to the conversation between the two, Rong Xia's body couldn't help but tremble.

Could it be that there has been a change in the previous dynasty, so the mother is ......

"Don't talk about those who don't have it, hurry up, I'll go outside and guard it for you. As she spoke, she heard a knock on the door, and the footsteps faded away, Rong Xia reluctantly opened her eyes and looked at the person who remained in the room. The man was also looking at her, holding an iron whip in his hand, and his tone was indifferent: "You know the rules of the palace, and you know too many people, and you always can't escape death." Now that His Royal Highness has lost, and the art of disgust has angered His Majesty, Concubine Li can only abandon you in order to protect herself-"

"And your sister. ”

The woman who was hanging was obviously shocked, her eyes were full of disbelief, and the grandmother soaked the whip in a saltwater bucket and sighed: "Miss Rongcai has bothered Concubine Li Niangniang a lot in order to save you, and she is no longer in the palace today, I heard that she was sent back to her hometown by Niangniang." Miss Rongxia, if I'm not mistaken, you two are orphans, right?"

"......" The woman gritted her teeth fiercely, but she couldn't stop the tears in her eyes: "You don't want to provoke the relationship between me and my mother......"

"Whether it's provocation or not, you have been by Concubine Li's side for so many years, you know best. Mama didn't argue, she raised her hand and whipped it, but it hit the air, and only heard a sound: "We are like a mirror in our hearts, you are a little palace maid, how dare you do anything to Your Majesty?" Miss Rongxia, the person who is a confidant dies, is Concubine Li worthy of your life?"

The girl who was hung up suddenly smiled, she looked at the grandmother, and her eyes were sarcastic: "I know, you were sent by King Yu...... Hehe, even if you die, I will also die loyal to my mother, you don't want to pry my mouth open!"

"In that case, I fulfill your loyalty. ”

As soon as Rong Cai walked to the door of the Shang Criminal Division, she heard a scream from inside, she immediately recognized that it was her sister's voice, and was about to break in, but was stopped by an old woman: "Girl, no matter what palace you are from, when you enter the Shang Criminal Division, you have to listen to Mama me." Who are you going to meet?"

"I want to see my sister! You let me in!" Rong Cai struggled, but she couldn't resist Mama's arm.

"It's really unfortunate that Miss Rongxia is being tortured inside, what do you have to say, let's wait for Miss Rongxia to finish the punishment. The mother's words contained a threatening meaning, Rong Cai was anxious, but she couldn't break free, and suddenly heard a scream and whipping sound from the depths, Rong Cai's heart was horizontal, and she bit her mother's hand;

Ding-The chain shook for a while, Rong Xia looked at the familiar face at the iron door, slowly closed her eyes, tilted her head, and lost her breath.

"Sister!"
