In the Zhenbei General's Mansion, the battle was nearing its end, and the blood also stained the land under Zhao Yue's feet.

Zhao Yue wiped the blood on his face, looking at the corpse in front of him, his expression was still cold.

For the battle-hardened general Zhenbei, the miserable image in front of him was nothing.

"General, one has escaped, and the rest have been killed."

Zhao Yue's lieutenant general, Zhao Lie, walked up to report the battle situation.

"What is my command?"

Zhao Yue's voice was a little indifferent.

"The order is, don't let any of them go."

Zhao Lie replied to Zhao Yue with a serious face.

"I'm back to the barracks, and I'm going to get twenty sticks."

"Yes."

Zhao Lie did not have a trace of complaint about this punishment.

All this is due to Zhao Yue's strict management of the army, clear rewards and punishments, fairness and justice.

Therefore, the soldiers have never complained about Zhao Yue's punishment and have no second intentions.

As soon as Zhao Yue finished punishing Zhao Lie, a subordinate hurriedly came over to report.

"General, there is a group of forbidden troops outside the door, about five hundred."

After listening to the report, Zhao Yue frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and walked towards the gate with a big knife.

Walking to the door, Zhao Yue instructed the soldiers next to the door, "Open the door." ”

As the door opened, a familiar figure came into Zhao Yue's eyes.

"General Zhao, don't come unharmed."

The person who came was the chief judge of the three divisions, Dong Boyi.

"Haha, it turned out to be Lord Dongbo, and he came here, why bother with such a big show."

Zhao Yue laughed twice and teased Dong Boyi.

Since the last time Dongboyi inspected the border army, the two got acquainted.

Zhao Yue had a very good impression of Dong Boyi, who was familiar with the appearance of this scholar but was familiar with military books and had a lot of insights into the affairs of the military formation.

However, at this time, there were still some doubts about Dong Boyi bringing troops over late at night.

"General Zhao, this big horse golden knife and bloodstained guarding the gate is probably not a way of hospitality."

When Dong Boyi saw Zhao Yue's bloodstain, he didn't ask, just teased Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue knew that it was difficult to bargain for Dong Boyi, so he didn't talk to him.

"I don't know what happened to Lord Dongbo, who led troops here late at night?"

Zhao Yue went straight to the point and asked about Dongbo Yi's intentions.

"The general has no doubts, I heard that there are swords and soldiers in General Zhao's mansion, and in order to protect the evidence of Concubine Qin's poisoning case, the lower official specially went to mention some soldiers and horses."

Seeing that Zhao Yue was asking about business, Dong Boyi didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained his intentions.

After listening to Dong Boyi's words, Zhao Yue also reacted.

This Dong Boyi is already the chief judge of this case, and he came here to take away the witness.

"Come in."

Zhao Yue said nothing, and threw the big knife in his hand to Zhao Lie on the side.

Dong Boyi walked into the General's Mansion and only glanced at the corpses all over the ground, still looking as usual.

"These men in black, the general knows where to come."

"The Qi family came to kill the witness."

The tone of both of them was very flat, as if they were talking about a very ordinary little thing in life.

"Look it up."

After listening to Dong Boyi's orders, the forbidden soldiers on the left and right began to rummage through this group of black-clothed people.

Zhao Yue watched with interest and did not stop it.

After a moment, the forbidden army shook his head at Dong Boyi after the search.

Dong Boyi just nodded slightly, as if it was all in his expectation.

"Look at the tea. Tohiro-sama, let's go inside and speak. ”

After Zhao Yue finished instructing his subordinates, he wanted to take Dongbo Yi into the hall to speak.

"General Zhao, there's no need, the lower official will go back after mentioning human and physical evidence, after all, it is a trial of Concubine Qin's case, and you and I should avoid suspicion."

Dong Boyi rejected Zhao Yue's kindness, and now he also knows that he should not get too close to this Zhenbei general.

Even if you don't have the intention of forming a party.

Zhao Yue also understands Dong Boyi, and it is difficult for others to change what he believes, so he will not keep it.

"Then I won't keep you, Zhao Lie will hand over the witnesses and exhibits to Master Dongbo, and the small courtyard in the south will also be handed over to Master Dongbo."

After Dong Boyi left, Zhao Yue let out a sigh of relief.

Qi Mansion, the Qi master who escaped the catastrophe was standing beside Qi Zhong.

Qi Zhong was still lying on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, and he had been lying on the Taishi chair for a day.

"Failed?"

Qi Zhong's voice was weak and not emotional, as if the answer to the question did not matter.

"Yes, the little one is back."

Qi Shi's voice was a little weak, and he still had a broken arrow on his right arm, and the blood had soaked his clothes red.

"Hurt?"

Qi Zhong opened his eyes and looked at Qi Shi, his old face showing a sense of concern.

This is a rare change in Qi Zhong's expression today.

"Master Xie cares, he didn't hurt his bones, and he was fine. It's just that the operation failed, what should Concubine Qi do on her side? ”

"You don't have to care about this, go down, let the doctor take a look, and recuperate."

Not long after Qi Shi left, a dark shadow flashed into the room.

"Give this to her."

The black shadow took what Qi Zhong handed him and left.

Two days later, inside the palace, Tai Chi Hall.

The princes and Lu Luoxi stood on both sides.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has already investigated the case of Concubine Qin's murder."

Dong Boyi's voice was loud, and he reported the results of his trial.

"Speak."

Emperor Lu Yunzhao's voice was a little heavy.

"Concubine Qin's death was caused by Concubine Qi."

Hearing Dong Boyi's words, a touch of anger appeared on the face of the third prince, Lu Jingwen, and he directly opened his mouth to scold.

"Presumptuous, who gave you the courage to slander the concubine."

For the reprimand of the three princes, Dong Boyi is neither humble nor arrogant, without a trace of fear.

"There are human and physical evidence, how can we slander it."

"Did Lu Luoxi guide you behind your back and let you ...... here?"

Lu Yunzhao saw that the third prince's words were becoming more and more excessive, so he directly interrupted him.

"Shut up, are you threatening the courtiers?"

Lu Yunzhao's voice was not loud, and he was not angry.

However, at this time, the eyes of this Emperor Shangyuan, looking in the eyes of the third prince, made him feel cold on his back.

"Erchen doesn't dare."

After the third prince confessed, he took a step back, his face still angry, but he no longer spoke.

Lu Luoxi and Lu Jingqian looked at all this coldly, without words.

The two of them knew that Concubine Qi would not be able to escape no matter what happened today.

Aiqing continued.

After scolding the three princes, Lu Yunzhao motioned to Dong Boyi to continue.

"The minister is willing to use the head of the person as a guarantee, and the minister is absolutely fair in hearing this case, this is the case file of this case, please take a look at it."

Dong Boyi also understood the intentions of the three princes, and wanted to push himself to Lu Luoxi's old Yan forces in order to muddy the waters, so he was busy using his life to guarantee his fair position.

Gao Lishi on the side stepped forward to take the case file and handed it to Lu Yunzhao.

After Lu Yunzhao finished reading the case file, his face became more and more ugly, and finally stood up directly and threw the case file at the Three Princes and the Nine Emperors.

"Take a good look at what your mother has done."

Just as the atmosphere in the hall was becoming more and more tense, Su Wu, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, hurriedly entered.

The news brought by Su Wu stunned everyone for a while.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi committed suicide by taking poison."
