Daming capital.

Today's second prince is in an extremely happy mood, and the third prince who is traveling with him is also smiling.

The emperor asked them to try the case of Chen Qingzhi's unauthorized transfer of the black guards.

At first, when they heard that Tang Xue'er was going to see the emperor, they were really worried for a while, for fear that the emperor would look at Tang Xue'er and Chen Changfeng's face, and make Chen Qingzhi's matter a big and small matter.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's unexpected actions would let them interrogate Chen Qingzhi.

This is the best time to cut off Chen Changfeng's wings.

The second prince and the third prince were even more wondering if the emperor also felt that Chen Changfeng's momentum was too strong recently, so he intended to use the hands of the two of them to suppress Chen Changfeng.

When he came to the Criminal Department, the second prince saw the Shangshu of the Criminal Department standing in front to greet him.

"Du Shangshu, today the prince and others were ordered to interrogate Chen Qingzhi, and I hope that Du Shangshu will not hesitate to give advice." The second prince saluted Du Shangshu.

Du Shangshu was also extremely surprised at this moment.

If he knew that the emperor would let the second prince interrogate the case, how could he have informed Yao Xiaoren of this matter in the first place?

Du Shangshu thought that the emperor would not do anything to Chen Qingzhi, after all, Chen Qingzhi was the person of the crown prince Chen Changfeng.

What do you think......

"Second Highness, rest assured, the minister will provide all conveniences for the interrogation." Du Shangshu hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

He is now in a dilemma, and no one dares to offend.

Yao Xiaoren and Tang Mingren also came, and the emperor named the two of them to participate in the interrogation together.

At this moment, the expressions of the two were extremely ugly.

Although they are also interrogations, they are only jurors, that is to say, once the two chief judges of the second prince and the third prince will be sentenced to Chen Qingzhi.

They could only watch, unable to say a word.

Yao Xiaoren boasted that he could also guess the emperor's actions, but this time, he really didn't understand.

If Chen Qingzhi had an accident in the hands of the second prince and the third prince, with the temper of the crown prince Chen Changfeng, the entire capital would definitely be in chaos.

Even the two princes are very likely to die in the hands of Chen Changfeng.

Yao Xiaoren didn't feel that this was his own unfounded worry, and he was really worried about the stability of the Ming Dynasty now.

"Brother Tang, you and I still need to try our best to save Chen Qingzhi's life later, otherwise, I'm afraid this capital will be in chaos." Yao Xiaoren whispered to Tang Mingren.

Tang Mingren just nodded slightly, and did not fully express his position.

He and Yao Xiaoren don't think exactly the same, Yao Xiaoren will still worry about the Ming Dynasty, but Tang Mingren only cares about Chen Changfeng.

If something happens to Chen Qingzhi, he can speed up Chen Changfeng's attack on the two princes, or even directly take the throne, and he Tang Mingren is the most happy to see it.

Chen Qingzhi's life and death, Tang Mingren didn't really care about it from the bottom of his heart, he would only care about the pros and cons of this matter for Chen Changfeng.

"Yao Xiang, Tang Shilang, the two of you were ordered to jury today, you have to watch it carefully later, this prince believes that Chen Qingzhi will explain everything." The second prince walked up to Yao Xiaoren and looked at the two with a smile.

The two of them were slightly heartbroken, they knew that the second prince would not leave Chen Qingzhi's hand, but they didn't expect that they would be so unscrupulous.

"Second Highness, no matter what Chen Qingzhi says, he is also my Ming Sanpin general, and he is also a person valued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"Yao Xiang, is this using the sixth brother to press me?" Before Yao Xiaoren finished speaking, he was interrupted by the second prince's cold words.

The second prince sneered: "The Son of Heaven has broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention a mere third-grade general, if this prince finds out that there is another person who mobilized the black armor guard, such as the sixth prince, this prince will not bend the law for personal gain." ”

"Yao Xiang, this prince has always respected you very much, if you are interested, you can find this prince to have a glass of wine."

The meaning of the second prince is obvious, that is, he hopes that Yao Xiaoren will know his way back, leave Chen Changfeng, and join his command.

Even if it is implicated, if the transfer of the black armor guard is related to Chen Changfeng, he will definitely investigate it to the end.

The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people!

Yao Xiaoren's heart sank slightly, he was still not sure whether the words of the second prince would be the emperor's meaning.

If it was really the emperor's instructions, Chen Changfeng was afraid that it would not be so easy to get out at that time.

And now that Chen Changfeng is in control of the 200,000 border troops of the Ming Dynasty, if he really comes to the last step, no one can say what will happen.

"Second Highness, the time is almost up, and you can go to the court to ask questions." Du Shangshu of the Criminal Department stood aside with a smiling face.

He didn't dare to offend the second prince, the third prince, or Yao Xiaoren.

Although he is a six-book book, in front of these people, it is really nothing.

"Then ask Du Shangshu to have someone bring Chen Qingzhi up." The second prince smiled faintly.

If Yao Xiaoren didn't know each other, he would have to let him see his own methods.

lest he Yao Xiaoren really think that he is not ruthless enough.

The second and third princes were seated, and Yao Xiaoren and Tang Mingren, as well as the officials of Dali Temple, sat next to them.

On both sides are black-clothed and black-armored officials of the Criminal Department, both holding a water and fire stick in their hands.

In the distance, a ray of sunlight reflected on the floor of the main hall of the Criminal Department, making people a little unable to open their eyes.

"Bring Chen Qingzhi up." As soon as the criminal department Shangshu gave an order, there was the sound of chains mopping the floor outside.

Chen Qingzhi had his hair scattered, his hands were locked by heavy shackles, and the shackles under his feet tightly locked his legs.

The distance is only one foot, and it is difficult to even do it with a simple step.

can only rely on the support of the officials of the criminal department to move forward slowly.

Looking at Chen Qingzhi's body again, the prison clothes were covered with blood-colored whip marks, and a smell of blood could be smelled from afar.

Yao Xiaoren's face was gloomy, the last time he saw Chen Qingzhi in the court, Chen Qingzhi was still a white-robed young general in his prime.

And at this moment, he turned out to be like an old man who was about to die.

How long has it been?

What kind of torture did Chen Qingzhi receive in prison?

If Chen Changfeng saw Chen Qingzhi's appearance at this moment, how angry would he be?

"Second Highness, Chen Qingzhi is my great hero, and His Majesty has never ordered him to be tortured, why did he become like this?" Yao Xiaoren's face was cold, and his tone was extremely gloomy.

He is not worried about Chen Qingzhi now, but worried about what kind of waves Chen Changfeng will set off in the capital after he knows about this.

The dignified heroes of the Ming Dynasty were beaten into this appearance before they were judged without any charges.

If Chen Changfeng knew about this, how could he give up easily?

"Maybe he fell like this in prison, maybe other prisoners bullied him, who knows?" The third prince sneered.

He thought that he was extremely embarrassed on the battlefield at the beginning, but Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui and others were able to kill the Quartet, and after they came back, they were rewarded by the emperor.

Seeing Chen Qingzhi's tragic situation at this moment, the three princes were extremely comfortable.

When Yao Xiaoren heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Today, I am only a jury, if I anger the second prince and the third prince, I am afraid that I will be kicked out of the yamen of the criminal department on the spot.

At that time, if they are beaten against Chen Qingzhi......

Yao Xiaoren didn't speak, Tang Mingren didn't say a word, and the silence in the lobby of the criminal department was a little terrifying.

The second prince's eyes fell on Chen Qingzhi, thinking about Chen Qingzhi's master Huo Diai, cooperating with Chen Changfeng, and trying in vain to deal with his own affairs.

The second prince's gaze slowly became cold, his face flashed, and his voice was cold: "Chen Qingzhi, are you guilty?" ”

Chen Qingzhi raised his head slightly, with a hint of banter on his face.
