The emperor specially summoned the king of Jin, the king of Qi, and the marquis of Wen to discuss the sudden death of the commander of the forbidden army and the loss of the seal letter.

Yan Cheng was supposed to be called to come, but he was not summoned to pity him for the grief of losing his son.

In the Xuanshu Palace, Xiao Yuanhui seized the uneasiness of the forbidden army's ownerless Beijing division, and immediately promoted his cronies to take over the position, preparing to take advantage of the situation to bring the forbidden army under his command.

Wenhou was originally Yan Shuzhe's boss, and he should have been temporarily in charge of the forbidden army. When he saw that the King of Jin had crossed himself to promote a newcomer, he was extremely uneasy, and hurriedly suggested that he first check the loss of the seal letter.

The emperor felt that this matter was strange, Yan Shuzhen died suddenly at a young age, and the letter with him disappeared, and it was very likely that he was framed.

If the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department is sent to investigate, it will inevitably fall into the hands of the King of Jin, and the truth will not be able to find out.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then coughed lightly: "The consul of the forbidden army is very important, and it will be handed over to the King of Qi to handle it." ”

Xiao Yuanhui and Wen Hou glanced at each other, revealing a look of jealousy.

Xiao Yuanmu returned to Beijing for a few months, and took over the guards outside the city, which was already worrying, and he had to extend his hand to the forbidden army!

Xiao Yuanhui hurriedly retorted: "Your Majesty, Lao Qi has only been back in Beijing for a few months, and he is not skilled in prison affairs. According to the usual practice, the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department should be responsible. ”

Wen Hou also helped: "What King Jin said is extremely true. If His Majesty sends the prince to supervise the inspection, it is most appropriate for the King of Jin to supervise the examination. ”

As soon as the two of them sang and harmonized, the emperor had already seen it, and drank tea with a smile.

"King Qi can't try cases, so he can. From today onwards, King Ling Qi is in charge of the Criminal Department, which is justified. King Jin's affairs are too busy, and he has to be in charge of the Yulin Army, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the affairs of the forbidden army. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately ordered someone to write an edict without giving Xiao Yuanhui any chance to refute.

Xiao Yuanhui's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Wen Hou lightly. Wenhou understood, and hurriedly bowed down to play, still saying that this matter was inappropriate.

The emperor put down the teacup and coughed heavily for a long time, and said slowly: "Before the seal letter is found, the forbidden army will be managed by Wenhou as usual, and I will slowly consider the new leader. ”

The power of the commander of the forbidden army was returned to his hands, and Wen Hou was secretly happy in his heart, and he didn't say much.

Xiao Yuanhui saw that the emperor exalted the King of Qi and belittled him, and he was already very unhappy in his heart. Seeing that Wenhou was also co-opted by the emperor, he felt even more cold in his heart.

He bowed silently, his face was not sad or happy, but his eyes were as cold as frost and full of murderous aura.

Xiao Yuanmu, the king of Qi on the side, bowed down to accept the order, and couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw that everyone had a ghost in their hearts.

Several old foxes are fighting for power and profit, and they don't know that the most important forbidden army commander Yin Xin is in his sleeve at the moment.

Xiao Yuanmu and the others rode horses in a car and came to the Forbidden Army Commander's Mansion. This place is heavily guarded, and the onlookers are stopped a few streets away.

Dali Siqing of the Criminal Department had already arrived with people, and the deputy commander of the forbidden army greeted him in armor. They were all people of the King of Jin, and they hid the evidence and witnesses early.

Xiao Yuanmu seemed to be deliberately finding fault, holding on to the saddle and asking: "This king was ordered to investigate the case of Yan Shuzhe, where did he die?" ”

Yan Shuzhen indulged in pleasure in the Bliss Workshop last night.

The deputy commander smiled awkwardly: "Second Prince Yan died in the Paradise Fang Courtyard. ”

Xiao Yuanmu pretended not to know, and shouted at the documents he carried with him: "Yan Shuzhen died in Bliss Fang - recorded!" ”

He was surrounded by dozens of guards, followed by a pony. There is an inconspicuous thin paperworkman, wearing a scarf on his head and fast boots under his feet, taking the scroll and taking it as he goes, and he doesn't dare to miss a word.

The crowd went a stone's throw to the west, and dismounted at the gate of the Bliss Place.

Xiao Yuanmu deliberately strolled along, pulling the small documents beside him, touring the mountains and playing with the scenery, with a playful smile on his face.

"Dali Temple, the forbidden army courtyard is so gorgeously repaired, this king has never seen the world, and I think the scenery is better than the inner garden of the palace!"

The Forbidden Army's Courtyard of Paradise was built by forcibly occupying civilian land, and Dali Siqing heard the meaning of his words, and hurriedly smiled: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi joked, Paradise Fang is the territory of the forbidden army, and it has been filed in the Ministry of War. ”

Xiao Yuanmu walked around the garden with his hands behind his back and said loudly: "Record: The Forbidden Army Bliss Fang has exceeded the system!" ”

Small documents follow suit, and ink pens fly up and down.

Dali Siqing scolded him in his heart, but he couldn't afford to offend, so he had to smile and say: "Your Highness, it is imperative to find out the seal letter of the commander of the forbidden army." If you exceed the trivialities, you don't have to record them, right? ”

Xiao Yuanmu paced with his hands behind his back, not caring and said, "If you don't let me remember, then I won't remember." This sentence is crossed out, and the words before it are clearly remembered. ”

"Yes!" The small document was marked on the paper scroll, and the small block mark under the head of the fly: "Dali Temple Qingyan: Do not record the trivial things that exceed the system." ”

Dali Siqing could see clearly when he was close, and the three gods of anger jumped violently, his face turned red, and he pointed to the small book and said: "The humble position is guaranteed by the King of Jin, and the King of Qi is so faceless, do you intend to quarrel with the King of Jin?" ”

Xiao Yuanmu was calm, blocked his hand, held the little man by his side, and said with a smile: "Dali Siqing was not sealed by His Majesty, but raised by Brother Jin?" This king is disrespectful! ”

Dali Siqing is a confidant of the King of Jin, and he is used to bullying people on weekdays, and the exit is held in the wrong place, and he blushes and has a thick neck, and he said helplessly: "The humble position is naturally sealed by His Majesty." ”

Xiao Yuanmu was a mess of nonsense, making Dali Siqing cry and laugh. The deputy commander knew that he was not easy to deal with, so he simply did not say anything when he stood beside him.

The small document holding the pen shrank beside Xiao Yuanmu, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Yuanmu, and inadvertently made a grimace.

Xiao Yuanmu was afraid that she would be recognized, so he hurriedly pressed his headscarf.

"He" is exactly what Lutang is dressed up for.

Xiao Yuanmu deliberately traveled around the mountains and rivers with Lutang in his arms, and walked around most of the Bliss Place, praising the scenery and praising people all the way.

Everyone was afraid that he would find fault with him, so they had to stand idly by. His Royal Highness the King of Deqi had enough to wander around, and ordered someone to set up a bookcase chair in the garden pavilion to serve as a public court.

Xiao Yuanmu sat down in the middle of the golden knife, and ordered Lutang to sit beside him with a pen and paper, and Dali Siqing and the deputy capital accompanied him.

First of all, Yan Shuzhen and the two relatives came, these two people didn't know three questions, and you pushed me and refused to speak.

The two of them are slaves of the Yan Mansion, and they have nothing to fear by relying on the Prime Minister Yan and the Marquis of Wen.

Dali Siqing and the deputy commander watched the excitement on both sides, full of pride.

Xiao Yuanmu knew that they colluded with each other to conceal the evil things of the Paradise Workshop like an iron wall, and he had the heart to give him a disadvantage first.

He got up and took out a short-bladed golden knife from his waist, handed it to Lu Tang and said, "Give these two dogs two stabs each, and stab the king after questioning!" ”

The deputy capital was busy persuading: "The two of them are slaves of the Yan Mansion, how can His Highness kill people indiscriminately?" ”

Xiao Yuanmu sneered: "The master is dead, and the seal letter with him has been lost, and they don't even know anything." What is the use of such minions? Besides, when did this king say that he wanted to kill? He also instructed Lu Tang and said: "Go, be lighter in your hands, and Hugh will kill you with two knives!" ”

Lu Tang couldn't hold back a smile and stepped forward with a knife, but the golden knife was too heavy, so he could only hold it up with both hands, the tip of the knife trembled at the henchman, and he stabbed it with his eyes closed and gritted his teeth.

When the two evil slaves saw Xiao Yuanmu making a mistake, they were so frightened that they kowtowed and shouted, "The villain knows, knows!" Rushing to say: "Last night, Yan Ergongzi drank and watched singing and dancing, and during the third watch, the maid found that he was dead, and the villain really didn't see him!" ”

Xiao Yuanmu first asked the two to be guarded, and then shouted: "Call the girl who is sleeping!" ”

No one even shouted a few times, Dali Siqing and the deputy capital were chirping for a long time, and then replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, that girl was frightened crazy and couldn't speak. ”

Xiao Yuanmu and Lutang looked at each other, knowing that they must have sealed their mouths in advance.

Obviously, Yan Shuzhen's death has nothing to do with them, but a group of bastards turned out to be thieves with a weak heart, and they had to make flaws on their own!

Xiao Yuanmu patted the case and shouted: "What's crazy and stupid? Even if it turned to ashes, it also packed up and carried it for me! ”

After a quarter of an hour, a pretty girl was led below.

His hair was unkempt and his clothes were disheveled, and his face was haggard and crazy. There were many bloody scars on his face, and he vomited blood from his mouth and nose.

No matter how others asked, she just squeaked and didn't speak.

Xiao Yuanmu made a look, and Lu Tang hurriedly went to check, only to find that her tongue had been cut!

The punishment of cutting out her tongue and gouging out her eyes, Lu Tang had seen many in her previous life, and she was frightened every time. But when I look at it again in this life, my heart is already undisturbed.

It seems that what King Jin, Wenhou and Yan Cheng are afraid of is not Yan Shuzhe's life and death, but even more afraid that his death will involve the follow-up case!

Seeing this tragic situation, Xiao Yuanmu couldn't help but be angry: "Since you can't ask for testimony, don't blame this king for being polite, it's a pity that the garden is full of exquisite wealth." Bring in the soldiers of this royal palace, and you can't let go of every room, and search them one by one! “

After a while, I heard a mess in the backyard, and a group of girls were crying and screaming, making a lot of noise.

Dali Siqing had already made arrangements, and naturally was silent.

The deputy commander said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness King Qi, the girl inside is a registered camp prostitute, if Your Highness likes it, your subordinates can send you a few." Bliss Fang is the territory of the forbidden army, and His Highness's soldiers can't mess around. ”

Xiao Yuanmu laughed and said: "This king has led the army for a few years, and it is the first time I heard that the forbidden army of the Beijing Division dares to camp prostitutes!" Record the words of the deputy commander! ”

The deputy commander is a confidant of the King of Jin, and the forbidden army belongs to the commander of the Marquis of Wen, so his face sank and he smiled: "Your Highness has been in the border gate outside the Saiwai for a long time, and I don't know about the affairs of the Jingshi Imperial Court. Such a trivial matter is not concealed, why should His Highness be too desperate and make it difficult for the people below to be tolerated! ”

Xiao Yuanmu threw the golden knife on his waist to the table, and said coldly: "Your forbidden army is in the center, I don't know what kind of life you have been living on the side!" Since you are hiding it from your superiors and subordinates, you will take it out today and give this king a long insight! ”

After that, all the women in the Bliss Workshop were immediately called for interrogation.

The guards pushed and shoved, only to see dozens of warblers and swallows, crying and crying, hulala knelt all over the courtyard, crying and shouting: "Slaves and maids don't know anything!" ”

The courtyard was full of toad pits, and Lu Tang couldn't help frowning: these girls have been coerced by them for several years, how dare they confide in the truth?

Xiao Yuanmu casually pointed down and ordered Lutang to say: "Record the names, ages, hometowns, parents' names, hometowns, and addresses of these girls!" ”

Lu Tang knew his intentions, and quickly nodded yes.

Who knows that the last one is called, only the name and age of the flower, and the surname and hometown are forgotten.

Call another one, but I only remember the name, and I even forgot the age. If you scream any further, you don't remember anything, you just cry.

The question was urgent, and the women rolled all over the ground and made a mess.

Dali Siqing and the deputy commander were quite proud, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Qi, they are in trouble, let's call it down first." ”

When he was in a hurry, Lutang saw four elderly mothers standing in the corner of the garden, dressed as bustard mothers, each with a wide body, a fat face, and a sinister look.

When the women looked at them, they were all frightened, obviously frightened.

Lu Tang stared at the target, tugged Xiao Yuanmu's sleeve, and quietly gave a look.

Xiao Yuanmu understood, ordered someone to bring the four bustard mothers up, and asked sharply: "What is the name of the mute girl who slept last night?" Where did you buy it from? ”

The four of them had already been instructed not to talk nonsense, so they hurriedly kowtowed: "The old body is just serving the girls, and they don't know anything about their background." ”

Xiao Yuanmu saw that she was clever and answered the question, and sneered: "Since you don't know anything, what are you doing with your tongue?" Come! Pull out all four of their tongues! ”
