Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

"Your Majesty, there was an accident in the secret passage of Ganquan Palace. The dome was almost demolished, but suddenly it collapsed, and fine sand and mud flowed out, as well as a piece of phosphorescent fire. Several bright lights shot out, like sharp blades, and everyone who was swept by them..."

When the prime minister arrived, he could only see a huge deep pit in the center of the place protected by layers of imperial guards and the Editorial Office, with the ground covered in blood.

The fine sand and mud mixed with blood formed a muddy mess.

"What kind of thing is it that requires such a powerful mechanism to protect it?" The Prime Minister couldn't help but murmur.

"Your Majesty, after we dismantled the dome and before the earthquake, we were able to see the inside clearly for a moment. In addition to several walls of treasure shelves, there was a brilliant treasure in the center. The light it emitted was like a sharp blade that cut the master of the Editorial Factory who was lowered down..."

The prime minister stood at the edge of the pit, and despite everyone's attempts to stop him, he picked up a bit of dirt from the ground and rubbed it with his fingertips, feeling the stickiness of the blood on his fingertips, the temperature of the explosion, and the smell of sulfur in the wind.

I felt inexplicably uneasy.

But after all these years of lying dormant, he finally reached the top. What was the word "fear"? He never wanted to know.

"Dig it up! Clear away every inch of dirt inside. I want to see, I must see, what's inside!"

"But Your Majesty, here..."

"Those who disobey orders will die!"

……

Wucheng,

Outside the city is a vast desert.

Qi Sheng, who was about to go down the mountain, was blocked on the mountain by the sudden influx of troops.

In the center of the teams of armed guards with swordsmen and axemen, the criminals in charge of the Ministry of Punishment rushed to the front with chains and surrounded Qi Sheng.

The torches at the foot of the mountain were blazing brightly, and began to spread out in an encircling manner.

Hundreds of cavalrymen ran up, and at the point where the middle formation was separated, Lou Junze stopped his horse and drew his sword.

Kuishan: "You bold traitor, you conspired with the thieves to murder the Marquis of Zhenbei, framed him for murder, and killed the five sons of the Gu family. Now the evidence is irrefutable."

Qi Sheng's expression was not disturbed at all. He straightened his sleeves and asked curiously:

"What's going on? Your Highness is up late at night, are you training your troops?"

Lou Junze: "Put away your hypocritical face. If it weren't for the purpose of clearing the name of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and comforting the spirits of the dead, I would have flattened Wucheng long ago if I had the time to deal with you!"

Qi Sheng: "Who has bewitched your Highness? Don't listen to the instigation of a villain and fall into the trap of a traitor. You and I have turned against each other, and the army is in turmoil. Don't lose the last piece of foundation in the North!"

"I bother!"

"I still believe your excuses!"

Kuishan had a hot temper and immediately shouted, "You should be tied up and taken back for interrogation!"

"Do you know this person?"

Qianli had already brought people to tie up Sun Hou, who was about to escape from the other side of the mountain, and threw him at Qi Sheng's feet, asking:

"Master Qi is awake late at night. What are you conspiring with Master Qi?"

"Does it require reporting every military secret?"

Qianli said: "What secret? Our people heard with their own ears that you were plotting to transfer troops from Huai'an, intending to collude with others to murder His Highness, and that you had killed the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Qi Sheng stood straight and looked around at everyone. He was a man who had been in military service all his life and had encountered all kinds of desperate situations. He would never give in easily. Besides, who could really monitor this desert?

I'm afraid it's all a scam.

"Who is being murdered? My son and daughter are unfilial. I discussed with General Sun the scandal of my daughter eloping with someone. Your Highness, do you want me to explain it clearly?"

Confess? If you confess, your entire family will be executed. If you refuse, you may be able to save the lives of other family members.

Qi Sheng knew clearly what he should give up now and whether to cut off his arm to survive.

He looked at Sun Hou.

Sun Hou closed his eyes and said simply: "I was drunk that day and confused. I didn't know I was pregnant..."

"Pooh!"

"Fuck you." Kuishan kicked him.

Lou Junze waved his hand.

Qianli brought the box, opened it in front of Qi Sheng, and let him see the tiger talisman, private seal and letter inside.

"Master Qi, what was found in your old lady's arms is the physical evidence."

Qi Sheng's face changed slightly, thinking that the truth had been revealed, but he could not confess anyway.

Even though he was tied up with iron chains, pinned to the ground, and Qianli held a knife to his neck, he still shouted:

"Is this the thief's false accusation? Your Highness is going to fall for the thief's trick and execute the important minister? In such a precarious time, we must not cause internal strife, Your Highness..."

"Your Highness, I am willing to die to prove my innocence. I only ask Your Highness not to fall into the evil scheme of the thieves..." Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards the tip of the knife.

Lou Junze dismounted, took a few steps forward, kicked him in the face, and knocked him to the ground.

"You look so loyal, but you deceived my uncle for so many years. It's a pity that he has always valued you..."

"Of course Brother Gu values me because I am truly loyal. During the Jishan Incident, the danger of Shaogu, and the siege of Yixiantian, I was the one who saved the lord every time..."

But later, some people gradually changed.

Lou Junze looked at the ferocious man on the ground and said, "If I had known you would never plead guilty, I would have prepared a great gift for you!

"I will definitely be ruined and comfort the dead soul!" After saying that, he looked at Xia Shi and whispered, "Miss Xia!"

Xia Shi: “Yes!”

After waiting for a long time, it's finally my turn.
