When the smoke and fire were extinguished, Qi Minglei's body was turned into ashes along with those plants and trees.

A descendant had already come, packed the ashes into the jar, and prepared to take the ashes back to the capital tomorrow.

Seeing this, everyone present also breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had completed a task, they arched their hands and said, "Lord Wang, Lord Qin, the lower officials will go back first." ”

It's so bad here, they're still waiting to go back and take medicine and burn their clothes.

Qin Zhao didn't stop either, and after nodding in response, he tilted his head slightly, and saw someone in the hidden place making a gesture.

You're all set.

Qin Zhao's heart moved, and a smile appeared on his lips: "There is a restaurant near here that is very good, seeing that it is noon, the prince wants to go to eat together?"

When he said this, his attitude was clearly good.

When Gu Qingchi saw him like this, he knew that there was a ghost in his heart, but he was also waiting to see how the other party wanted to make a move, so he nodded and said, "But it's disrespectful, please." ”

This ghostly monster is hiding in the dark, so he can't deal with it, and he comes out for a walk to know who is the best player.

......

When I got out of Lin'an Street, I heard a commotion of people, and then I saw a team of masked black-clothed people coming out and going straight to Gu Qingchi and the others!

Gu Qingchi was in a daze, and the guards beside him had already rushed out, protecting him while fighting with those people.

And Qin Zhao also seemed to come back to his senses, and shouted anxiously: "Come on, take down these assassins!"

The huge street was in chaos for a while, and the pedestrians on the street scattered and fled, startling people to cry for help, mixed with scolding.

"Dog thief, take your life—"

Qin Zhao protected Gu Qingchi's side, turned around and said, "Lord Wang, be careful, the last general will protect you!"

Hearing this, Gu Qingchi's lips flashed with coldness, and he didn't respond to him, just stared at these people who suddenly killed without knowing the meaning.

The combat power of these people was not strong, and they were quickly suppressed, and the person in charge kept roaring: "Gu Qingchi, you big traitor, you hurt the people of Anling County, today Lao Tzu will die with you!"

The man's mouth was quickly gagged, but the whining voice and cracked expression also caused many people who did not run away to be suspicious.

The expressions of these people hesitated on Gu Qingchi's face, while Qin Zhao walked over and asked, "Lord Wang, what should I do with these people?"

The Assassins had been counted, and there were more than a dozen of them, and in addition to the dead and wounded, there were four or five of them, who were pinned down, but still had the strength to struggle.

Gu Qingchi squinted at the group of people and said lightly: "This king thinks that Wu Anhou has already made a calculation in his heart. ”

This was said without a head or a brain, Qin Zhao almost thought that he had seen through his thoughts, but his face was still the same, and he said respectfully: "But please show it to the prince." ”

"Then let's take it to trial. ”

Hearing Gu Qingchi's words, Qin Zhao instantly showed a smile, pressed back again, and said, "Yes." ”

Seeing that Qin Zhao had left with those assassins, Gu Qingchi's expression flashed slightly, and he said after a while, "Go back." ”

He was still thinking about what Qin Zhao wanted to do, but he understood a little at this moment.

It turns out that the cat is tired here.

......

After those assassins were arrested, Qin Zhao interrogated them in the court in order to show justice, but who knew that those people bit Gu Qingchi to death.

"We are the people of this Anling County, if it weren't for this Gu Qingchi's forcible expropriation and expropriation, we couldn't live anymore, who would have rebelled against him? Now that his wife and mother are all dead because of him, such a traitor, we will not let him go even if we die!"

After this person's words were finished, he attracted the response of the others, and one of them stood up directly and shouted: "Gu Qingchi has misled the country, I want to admonish him with death and beg the emperor to give justice!"

He handed his blood book to Qin Zhao, and in his gaze, the whole person crashed into the solid wall.

Blood flowed down the pink and white walls, and it was particularly bloody to look at.

Many people standing outside the court did not expect things to develop like this, and they were speechless for a while.

At this moment, I don't know who shouted first: "Gu Qingchi harmed us, we want justice!"

As his words rang out, dozens of people in the crowd began to respond to him.

And the people in the hall kept crying, telling how miserable they were.

The two corresponded to each other, which also made Qin Zhao's face change. He stood in place and was embarrassed for a while, before he said in a deep voice: "Today and here, this official must consider it before making a decision!"

When Gu Qingchi got the news, this matter had already been rumored, but this was only the first thing.

The mobs who had been caught by the officials before also wrote confessions and confessions. It's just that on the evidence of the crime, he attributed the reason for his rebellion to the harsh taxes levied by Gu Qingchi.

With these testimonies, coupled with the word of mouth of those ordinary people, for a while, Gu Qingchi's reputation stinked.

Qin Zhao knew the truth of everyone's mouth, and after he did this point, he quickly ordered people to send these so-called "evidences" to the capital.

Sure enough, the emperor's edict was soon handed down.

"Lord, the emperor wants us to return to Beijing immediately. ”

After receiving the emperor's edict, Qin Zhao came to find Gu Qingchi. These days, the news in Anling County is mixed with truth and falsehood, and he doesn't believe that Gu Qingchi is not in a hurry. However, Gu Qingchi was like an old monk who had settled down, and he didn't respond to any news, which made Qin Zhao a little unsure what Gu Qingchi meant?

But now, the emperor's edict is a reassuring pill, no matter how Gu Qingchi wants to jump, now he can only obediently follow him back.

When he returns, that's what the emperor will do. His mission, it's done!

Thinking of Qi Minglei's last words, Qin Zhao felt a burst of anger in his heart, this was all caused by Gu Qingchi!

Seeing Qin Zhao lowering his head, Gu Qingchi sneered on his lips and said lightly: "Okay, this king knows, then go back." ”

......

At the end of June, the group set out on their way back to the capital.

is different from when he came, Qi Minglei is missing from this line.

In the past, the mob and the assassin who confessed to the law were escorted back to Beijing in advance.

And who those people will see when they go back is a very obvious thing.

Gu Qingchi knew it, but his face was inconspicuous, and he didn't say anything about Qin Zhao's intentional or unintentional speed.

However, after seven or eight days, he returned to the capital.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, there were white-faced and beardless palace people waiting here, and they had to follow this line into the palace.

Seeing this, Gu Qingchi sneered in his heart, knowing that the emperor couldn't wait, so he only said lightly: "This king will go after changing his clothes." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about the eunuch's expression, and went straight to the horse.

Fortunately, he has always been arrogant, so although the eunuch was a little anxious when he stomped his feet, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and turned back to the other adults and asked, "How many adults do you want to enter the palace first?"

When Qin Zhao heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "That's natural, the emperor summoned me, and we will naturally go there immediately." ”

While speaking, he followed the crowd to the palace.

The palace, which has gone through a hundred years of wind and rain, is still solemn despite the wind and rain.

In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing the folds, and when he learned that the group had returned, he put down the folds in his hands and said, "Announce them in." ”

Almost at the moment when his words fell, he saw those people walking in quickly, and saluted one after another: "Weichen see my emperor, long live my emperor." ”

This time, several officials from Shandong also came, but what to do when they came here was particularly wonderful.

"Flatten. ”

The emperor glanced at the ministers kneeling below, and said lightly: "What is the matter in Anling County, let's talk about it." ”

He had received Qin Zhao's letter a few days ago, so he naturally knew the ins and outs. It's just that he has worn enough masks over the years, so he is very happy in his heart, and he also has a sad look on his face.

Fortunately, Qin Zhao knew the meaning of elegance when he heard the string song, and this thing was very much in line with his own heart.

Seeing that the emperor had spoken, and those people knew what they should say, they expressed the words of the rioters in 1510, and presented the confessions of those people to the emperor.

When Gu Qingchi arrived, he saw that the people in the imperial study had solemn expressions.

"Say hello to the royal brother. ”

Gu Qingchi saluted, and saw the emperor glaring at him gloomily, and snorted coldly: "What did you do, how did you make me safe?"

Hearing this, the corners of Gu Qingchi's lips hooked slightly, and he asked, "I don't know what the imperial brother means? ”

"Don't you understand, do you?

When the emperor said this, he smashed all the evidence and said in a deep voice: "When you went to Anling County before, I decided to give you justice, but now, you look at these are the justices you want! Give me an explanation!"

Gu Qingchi only glanced at it, and he saw clearly what was stated above. He had long known this, so his expression remained unchanged, and he just said, "Brother Chen has not done it, these are perjury." ”

"Oh, what a perjury. ”

The emperor stared at him with an unkind expression and said, "Is there any evidence?"

"Nope. ”

Gu Qingchi replied simply, but the emperor was a little suspicious, because he said coldly: "There is no evidence, then you can go to Dali Temple to reflect on me." When will you figure out what happened, and when will you come back to see me!"

As his words fell, he saw a team of Imperial Forest Army walking in outside, and took Gu Qingchi away without saying anything.

It wasn't until Gu Qingchi's figure disappeared that the emperor pinched his eyebrows and said, "You all should step down." ”

At the moment when the emperor was furious, everyone was a little frightened, and when they heard the emperor's words, they saluted and walked out.

It was only when the emperor was left alone in the imperial study that he breathed a sigh of relief.
