The flames on the torch were churning, billowing black smoke was rising, and the flickering light shone on Zhang Yi's face, he smelled the faint smell of oil smoke, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Xu Che is over seventy years old now, and he only has such a child as Xu Wei in his last years, so he is naturally a treasure in the palm of his heart, and it is strange that he can easily hand it over.

"I have sent someone to verify that Xu Wei had a quarrel with Zhang Tian in the 'Heavenly Tower' a few months ago, and even directly started it, and Xu Wei has an unclear relationship with Hu Li, who was retired from my Zhang family.

My son Zhang Tian was assassinated twice in Hanyue Lake and on the street this night, and it was this Li Hu who did it, and he was Xu Wei's subordinate, this matter is irrefutable!

Whether your son is innocent or not will be tried after he is put in prison, and if it has nothing to do with him, he will be cleared.

Why does the Prime Minister need to be so protective? Could it be that he assassinated my son Zhang Tian, it was really Xu Wei's instructions?! ”

Xu Che's old body trembled, and a trace of surprise crossed his face, Li Hu assassinated Zhang Tian on the street? He didn't know anything about it!

A few months ago, Xu Wei sent someone to snatch Zhang Tian's lipstick formula, he knew about it, he reprimanded Xu Wei fiercely, and punished him for not leaving the house for a month, and Xu Wei repeatedly promised him that he would not do it again.

Now that the lipstick formula in Zhang Tian's hand has been taken by the emperor, who will do this thing again? Could it be that Xu Wei really did something stupid again?!

But no matter what, Xu Che would never hand over his son, even if it wasn't Xu Wei's instructions this time, but a few months ago, he did send someone to intercept Zhang Tian!

Once the person falls into the hands of Zhang Yi, with the means of the military department, how can Xu Wei withstand the torture to extract a confession!

When the time comes, the crime of assassinating the son of Guogong will be confirmed, and Xu Wei will have to be convicted of a felony even if he does not die!

"Hmph, Zhang Yi, you don't want to frame my Xu family, now that this Li Hu is dead, don't you have the final say on everything? My son Xu Wei has always been kind, how could he kill Zhang Tian because of a small quarrel? Xu Che said angrily.

Zhang Yi stared at Xu Che coldly, "Li Hu was assassinated on the street, and the people who witnessed it at that time said less, I have sent someone to collect evidence, as for whether it was instigated by Xu Wei, it will be known after the trial, why should the prime minister be angry?" ”

"I am the prime minister of the east, my mansion is sealed by His Majesty, and the trespassers have punished the nine clans, I want to see who dares to break in!?" Seeing that Zhang Yi was resolute, Xu Che pointed to the thousands of soldiers outside the door and shouted angrily!

"The head of the army, after all, the prime minister is under one person, this..."The general standing beside Zhang Yi hugged his fists, his face was a little embarrassed.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was too ruthless to trespass on the nine clans, and besides, only His Majesty could punish the prime minister of a country.

"It's okay, pass on my military order, Prime Minister Xu Che harbors the suspect in the house, if you don't take the initiative to hand it over within half an hour, you will follow me into the house to arrest the suspect! If Your Majesty is to blame, I will bear everything! ”

Zhang Yi stood up, staring at Xu Che without squinting, without the slightest fear.

The last time Zhang Tian's lipstick incident had already filled his heart with guilt, today no matter what, he has to seek justice for his son, even if His Majesty blames him at that time, this matter will never give in half a step!

"Whoa!"

Then the general turned around and said loudly: "The order of the head of the army!" The prime minister harbored the suspect in the mansion, and he waited for him to be arrested in the house half an hour later! Don't hurt the innocent, don't destroy the items in the house, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”

"Whoa!"

Thousands of sergeants shouted in unison, and the sound was like thunder, and the hearts of the people trembled!

Military orders are like mountains, and you can go to death.

They are all the elites that Zhang Yi brought back from the frontier battlefield, and the army leader ordered that even the sword mountain and the sea of fire dare to break through, let alone a prime minister's mansion?

On the street corner in the distance, there were many people who stretched out their heads to watch the excitement, all of them were startled by the invisible evil aura emanating from this group of soldiers, and the timid ones retracted their heads directly, and hurriedly ran home, for fear that a fight would really start and affect the pond fish.

Xu Che secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, obviously he couldn't persuade Zhang Yi to withdraw his troops, he glared at him fiercely, and wanted to turn around and walk back to the mansion, but now he can only let Xu Wei escape out of the city through the secret passage in the mansion first, otherwise it will be too late!

At this moment, a neat team of footsteps came from afar, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi and Xu Che frowned at the same time, and then knelt on the ground, and the soldiers behind them also knelt on the ground.

I saw a gold-topped carriage slowly coming, hundreds of gold-armored royal forest guards around it, the carriage slowly drove to the door, and the father-in-law Furui who followed the side stepped forward, lifted the silk curtain, and Qingli, who was dressed in a golden robe, walked down from the carriage.

He glanced at Xu Che and Zhang Yi, and then chuckled: "Let's all be even."

Xu Che stood up tremblingly from the ground, ran to Qingli's side in small steps, and knelt on the ground with a pop.

"Your Majesty, you are the master of the old minister! He Zhang Yi is about to rush into my house indiscriminately and forcibly arrest my son, which is really too deceitful! ”

"Fart! Your son Xu Wei sent his subordinates to assassinate Zhang Tian on the street, and the evidence of this matter is all there, but you hide him in the mansion and refuse to hand him over, flouting the law of the country, and daring to sue the evil first! ”

Zhang Yi immediately scolded, and did not shy away from the emperor at all.

"Alas! The two of you are my backbone to the east, and there is a lot of trouble here, doesn't it make people see a joke!? Qingli waved his hand, and said helplessly on his face.

Zhang Yi stepped forward and clenched his fists, "Your Majesty, tonight, Xu Che's son Xu Wei's subordinates assassinated my son Zhang Tian on the street, and his arrogance was extremely arrogant!"

The entire murder process was witnessed by at least dozens of people! But Lord Xu repeatedly shirked for him and refused to hand over people, so Weichen made this decision! ”

"Oh? Xu Aiqing, can there be such a thing? Hearing this, Qingli looked down at Xu Che, who was kneeling.

Xu Che's face was full of panic, "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, the person who committed the murder is indeed a subordinate in the house, but my son Xu Weiding has nothing to do with this matter, and I ask Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

"Hmph, is it related to your son, it needs to be postponed for retrial, and then I will find out!

You are so protective, do you have a ghost in your heart? Zhang Yi said coldly.

"Zhang Yi, you dare to spew blood in front of Your Majesty! If I hand over Xu Wei to you, won't he become a duck on the board, still at your mercy?

When the time comes, won't my son be wronged! Xu Che got up from the ground and shouted.

Zhang Yi snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Lord Xu is inevitably too villainous, right?" I, Zhang Yi, have always been above board, how could I do the dirty things in your mouth?! ”

Xu Che's eyes widened, and he pointed at Zhang Yi's nose and shouted angrily, "Who are you scolding villain?!" ”

"Hmph, whoever scolds knows it in their hearts."

"You're special..."

Qingli sighed, "Okay! ”

"You two are like shrews scolding the street here, what kind of body are you!?"

Zhang Yi and Xu Che hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Qingli put his hands behind his back, and his face was not angry and arrogant, "In the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is not a trivial matter to dare to assassinate the parents and sons of important ministers on the street!" Whether it was instructed by Xu Wei or not, Xu Aiqing had to hand over the people. ”

Hearing this, Xu Wei's wrinkled old face suddenly turned white.

Zhang Yi on the side was overjoyed, and hurriedly clenched his fists, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Qingli looked at Zhang Yi with his hands behind his back, "Your military department has indeed acted a little arrogant in handling this case, and besides, you are Zhang Tian's father, so I handed over this matter to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department Shangshu personally supervised it, do you have any complaints?" ”

Zhang Yi's face froze, "The minister has no complaints..."

Xu Che, who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes lit up, the Criminal Department was his own chassis, Your Majesty was protecting Xu Wei in disguise?

"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"
