Qin Mu slapped his attacker hard, his neck locked by Kong Wu's powerful arm.

"Promise me! Promise me! ”

"Ahh

A flash of lightning flashed, and the attacker fell to the ground.

Qin Mu touched his neck, turned on the flashlight, and shone at the person on the ground who was Wu Zhengji.

"You stinky dog, you want to kill me!"

Then he picked up the electric baton and hit him again, and did not let go until he was incontinent.

The loud noise woke the people in the opposite cell, as well as the jailers.

Wu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, propped his palms on the ground, and looked at Qin Mu in horror.

"If you want to kill, you can kill you..."

Qin Mu walked up to him and kicked him in the stomach a few times, until he vomited blood in his mouth and used all his strength before stopping.

Fortunately, he kept an eye on it, and as long as he slept, he would carry an electric baton by his side to prevent accidents.

Qin Mu touched his neck and looked at Wu Zhengji with anger in his eyes.

The people in the opposite cell looked like they were watching a good show, even if Qin Mu killed Wu Zhengji here, they didn't see it, there was one less person, it was very beneficial for them to go out.

The jailer walked into the cell with a whip and whipped Wu Zhengji fiercely.

"Stinky dog! See if I don't kill you today! ”

The sharp whip struck Wu Zhengji like a soft knife, and the original old wound instantly broke through the flesh, Wu Zhengji endured the pain, gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.

"Stop." Qin Mu spoke, the jailer stopped, he walked up to Wu Zhengji and looked at him embarrassed, and then squatted in front of him, "Do you know who the boss is?" ”

Wu Zhengji nodded, he thought that Qin Mu was just a good brain, but he didn't expect that the force was also powerful, what the hell was the black stick in his hand.

Qin Mu got up and looked at the other side, "Now I announce that the candidates for the next release from prison, Yao Wen from the Ministry of Rites and Li Qingsheng from the Ministry of Punishment, the two of you." ”

The two laughed happily, hugged each other, and then saluted Qin Mu.

"Thank you Qin Lang! Haha..."

Wu Zhengji's expression softened a lot, if the two of them went out together, the time before he went out would be much earlier, could it be that Qin Mu had already planned to do this from the beginning?

What followed was a sense of guilt, condemning him for being a bastard, Qin Mu helped himself like this regardless of his previous suspicions, he actually wanted to rely on threats to achieve the goal of getting out as soon as possible.

Thinking about him and crying, this is the first time he has been cared for and treated as a person.

The sound of cries echoed in the cell, and the others didn't care why Wu Zhengji was crying, they were all excited to sleep because they could get out early.

At the same time, in the Fengtian Palace, Empress Wu looked at the furnishings in the hall with tears in her eyes, and her thoughts returned to the scene when the first emperor was still there.

At that time, Li Zhi was already difficult to get out of bed, but he still told Empress Wu to guard the Tang Dynasty, telling the scene of their first meeting, and Empress Wu always unconsciously remembered these things in the dead of night...

"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother."

Empress Wu slowly turned around and found Xue Huaiyi standing behind her.

Xue Huaiyi was wearing a golden robe, holding a rosary in his hand, his skin was fair and he did not lose the hardness that a man should have, he looked at the Empress Wu with tears in the corners of his eyes, and asked with concern: "Your Highness, do you miss the first emperor again?" ”

Empress Wu didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Did you find out what you investigated?" ”

Xue Huaiyi paused for a moment and said, "In the past few days, Dali Temple has released two officials one after another, respectively from the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, they were imprisoned for informing, and they were also released for informing, I suspect that someone is secretly helping them." ”

"Is it an official in the court?" Empress Wu's eyes suddenly became stern.

"I don't know about this, outsiders in Dali Temple can't easily enter, I spent a lot of money and silver to dot up, and all I got was this news, but the strange thing is that their caliber is surprisingly consistent."

Empress Wu was puzzled, forming a party for personal gain was the thing she hated the most, Dali Temple, as the ultimate institution of the Tang Dynasty's law, could be bought, and there was something hidden in the unity.

"How much money did you spend on the dots?"

"According to the level of the position, the lowest is 10 times, and the highest is 100 times."

Empress Wu was even more puzzled, this money was already a lot, and she couldn't even inquire about it, could it be that a master from outside the world was pointing them out?

Xue Huaiyi continued: "I deliberately checked the people who came into contact with the relatives of these officials, but I still found nothing, and there was no trace of the bad people squatting at the door of the house, as if they had obtained this knowledge out of thin air. ”

Empress Wu nodded, "Since you can't find out, forget it, sooner or later he will show his feet, since such a talent chooses not to show up, it seems that he is also a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, let it be."

What's the progress of Mingtang? ”

"Recently, the weather has been hot, and many craftsmen have died of heat, but it has been made up in time, Your Highness can rest assured that it will be completed by the end of this year."

"Well, then let me ask you, Zheng Zhou was imprisoned, did you do it?"

"Yes, Your Highness, this person is conformist and delays the progress of the construction of the Ming Hall, which is a great disrespect to His Highness."

Speaking of Zheng Zhou, Xue Huaiyi didn't hide, Zheng Zhou was too soft-hearted, too concerned about the lives of those untouchables, it was too irresponsible to give them a holiday in the hot weather, Xue Huaiyi was very psychologically clear, the progress of Mingtang was the most concerned thing for the Empress Wu, as long as the goal could be achieved, it didn't matter how many people died.

Empress Wu showed a mysterious smile, the reason why he took a fancy to Xue Huaiyi at the beginning was because he was ruthless and loyal enough, as long as he ordered something, he always did whatever he could to complete it perfectly.

At this stage, she needs someone like Xue Huaiyi to do things.

Empress Wu watched Xue Huaiyi gradually become gentle, and beckoned to him.

Xue Huaiyi smiled at the corner of his mouth and slowly leaned over.

In the Dali Temple Prison, several people lay in front of the cell and watched Qin Mu tinker in the next cell for a long time, sometimes pacing back and forth while writing.

"Oh, it's really embarrassing for Qin Lang to go out of two people at once." Yao Wen of the Ministry of Rites said.

"Since Qin Lang has promised to have his own countermeasures, let's wait slowly."

Li Qingsheng's face was embarrassed, "I always feel that this time there is more luck and less luck, I have been in the criminal department for a short time, and it is basically impossible to make new moves in the criminal department." ”

He is well aware of the darkness of the criminal department, they are only responsible for dealing with the officials of the seventh grade have the right to execute, but not the right to punish, this time Dali Temple convicted him, or the crime of bribery, although he was wronged, but he did not have any evidence to clear the charge.

"Hmph, if you're scared, then I'll go first." Wang Xiao snorted coldly.

Li Qingsheng gave him a blank look, "Even if I die, I won't let you get cheap." ”
