The general and I form a pair

While Ah Qing was drunk, he still grasped the key point. He grabbed Gu Yan's sleeve and shook it: "From what you said, the matter between Princess Qinghe and Chen Gong was designed by you. If not, then Why is Mrs. Zheng Guogong so foresighted to control the Princess Mansion in her own hands, right?"

As Ah Qing spoke, he also hiccupped.

"I'm just doing favors. Zheng Guogong is just a son like Chen Gong, and he is still useless. If he is called to become a prince in the future, Zheng Guogong's mansion will only go from bad to worse. But if he can honor the princess, he will have the protection of the royal family. No matter what, you will never go anywhere.”

"If they don't think about it, how can I figure it out?"

Ah Qing patted his forehead, and said: "Princess Heyang is going to hate you all. She is going through such a miserable life, and no one helps her. She will definitely take revenge on the world like a mad dog."

"Good causes lead to good results, and evil causes lead to evil results. It's just her own fault."

Ah Qing hiccupped again: "Then what does this matter have to do with this case?"

Gu Yan was sympathetic to him, and said unhurriedly: "Chen Gong is dead."

Ah Qing groaned, "When did it happen?"

"This morning, not long after we left Shangjing."

Ah Qing wanted to ask how you knew that, but then thought of those shadowy people around him who were elusive and haunted, and he understood.

He sucked his teeth and said, "Ah, what does this matter have to do with Chen Gong? Did Chen Gong know something and was silenced?"

Ah Qing was good at comparing his hands on the neck, and stared at Gu Yan with his teeth bared.

Gu Yan was amused by his funny behavior.He took Ah Qing's hand and rubbed it in his own.

"Zheng Guogong knelt at the palace gate and said that Chen Gongnai died unjustly. He also said that Chen Gong had looked for him before he died and said some strange things."

"What?"

"He said that if he died, someone must have tried to kill him. He also said that Chen Gong left evidence in the Duke's mansion, and if that person dared to silence him, he would ask Duke Zheng to present the evidence to the Lord."

Ah Qing reacted for a long time before realizing it: "So this is what Brother Ah Yan said was created out of nothing. In fact, there is no evidence at all! It's those people who messed up their own way. Once Chen Gong dies, you will go down the slope and borrow Chen Gong's money." The tone left a letter to Zheng Guogong, and the purpose is to continue to draw out the people behind it."

Gu Yan nodded: "A lot of things, if you look at it together, there will always be a few doubts. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Although Chen Gong said on the surface that he was bullied by Princess Heyang, he didn't dare to go to Huajie Liuxiang , but in fact, he has already raised a skinny horse in the other garden, spending his time and drinking, without any delay."

"In this case, he suddenly appeared in Zuixin Tower, do you think it's abnormal?"

Ah Qing nodded like a pounding garlic, and did not forget to give Gu Yan a thumbs up.

"If the prediction is correct, tonight, those people will take action and go to the Duke's mansion to find the so-called 'evidence'."

"Tall, really tall!" Ah Qing praised repeatedly.

Alcohol got on his head, Ah Qing was dizzy, and groaned 'discomfort' in Gu Yan's arms.

Gu Yan shook his head helplessly: "I told you to be greedy."

Ah Qing has always been dishonest when sleeping, and at this time, with the blessing of alcohol, his hands and feet are even more dishonest.

Gu Yan had just taken a bath, and his clothes were loose, Ah Qing pawed a few times, revealing a lot of spring.

The mottled and criss-crossed scars on his body ran into Ah Qing's eyes again, and his fingers lightly brushed over the scars, as if distressed, loving, and comforting.

Gu Yan's nerves were tense, his clenched fist had distinct joints, and his veins were exposed.

Until the wet lips were covered, the tense strings in his head burst open, he arched his body violently, and unconsciously groaned: "Ah Qing..."

While he was anxiously waiting for Ah Qing's next move, the man suddenly stopped moving.

After a while, Gu Yan looked down and saw that Ah Qing had already fallen asleep...

Gu Yan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness, and couldn't help but chuckle.What the hell is he nervous about? How can Ah Qing take the initiative in such a matter.

wait for next time...

Gu Yan's mind flashed through some comic books he read with Ah Qing when he was young, and he couldn't help feeling a little bloody.

He gently put Ah Qing down, covered him with the quilt, then got up and went to the bathroom, intending to take a shower.

At this time, there was a slight noise outside the door, Gu Yan narrowed his eyes, straightened his clothes, and opened the door lightly.

"Major General, there is news."

"who is it?"

"Forgive me."

Gu Yan's pupils shrank sharply: "He's still alive!"

"That's right, it's him, and the subordinates won't admit their mistakes."

Shuping, one of the four guards of the former prince Li Su.In the later period of disaster relief in Henan, when the victims broke into the palace, they died protecting the prince.

Gu Yan looked cold and serious: "Take a good look at the person. Also, go to prepare the carriage, pick up Qi Min, and we will return to the city overnight."

While speaking, Gu Yan's mind had turned several times. The development of the matter, within reason, seemed to deviate from the track...

When Ah woke up, he found himself lying on Gu Yan's bed.With his head in a mess like a chicken coop, he was stunned for a long time, until Baojin fetched water.

"Master is awake!"

Ah Qing scratched the head of the chicken nest: "Aren't I in the bamboo house with brother Ah Yan? Why... am I dreaming?"

Bao Jin smiled and said: "I don't know, the young master, the young general brought the young master back last night. The young master drank too much wine, the young general ordered the servants to take good care of him."

"What about him?"

"The major general is busy, oh yes, the minor general just sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the case of the son-in-law is about to be closed, and today he will be interrogated by the third division of Dali Temple. If the young master wants to watch the excitement, call me after breakfast Gu Ting will send you there."

"Joint trial by the three divisions." Ah Qing seemed to be a little drunk, he rubbed the center of his brows, and vaguely remembered that he seemed to be talking about Zheng Guogong's mansion last night, and the murderer was caught so quickly?

"Little Baozi, prepare the meal quickly, ask Gu Ting to prepare the car, I will go there right away after eating."

The son-in-law was killed yesterday, and the murderer was caught today, so fast that everyone was surprised.The front of Dali Temple was surrounded early on.

Gu Ting led Ah Qing around the back gate of Dali Temple, turned around the alley, and saw Gu Yan dressed in white, tall and straight like pine, with his hands behind his back, standing quietly at the gate.

"Am I late?" Ah Qing asked anxiously after getting off the carriage.

"Just right."

"Then let's go in quickly."

"No hurry, I have to wait for one more person." Gu Yan smiled lightly.

"Who else?"

"I."

Ah Qing turned her head abruptly when she heard the voice, and saw Emperor Cheng Kang in casual clothes, followed by Director Li who was also in casual clothes.

After Gu Yan and Ah Qing saluted, they led Cheng Kangdi to the lobby.

The joint trial of the three divisions was jointly conducted by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and Yushitai.As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Gu Yan is naturally not easy to appear in the hall.

Therefore, a curtain was hung behind the main hall, and tables and chairs were set up behind the curtain, and Emperor Cheng Kang and Gu Yan listened here.

Ji Fei and Li Mu were not so lucky, they had to squeeze in among the common people and tiptoe to look inside.Of course, there are people from all the prefectures who came to inquire about the news, and they all waited in the crowd.

Officials from various ministries are already in place. Although it is in Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the trial of this case, and the Minister of Dali Temple only sits second.

The official who presided over the case was Chu Xiao, who had just been promoted to be the minister of punishment.

Ordinarily, in the joint trial of the three divisions, the Ministry of Punishment should be presented by Shang Shu, but Emperor Cheng Kang named Chu Xiao as the presiding judge. What kind of attitude should be used to deal with it.

Of course, these people are obviously thinking too much.Chu Xiao's temperament is harder than a rock, and it is as difficult as going to heaven to flatter him.

Chu Xiao sat upright, with a dignified face, and with a slap of the gavel, everyone in the hall fell silent.

"Forgive me for leading the prisoner."

Ah Qing only felt that the name was very familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

Chu Xiao showed a drawn confession and asked, "Is what said in the confession true?"

Shuping nodded yes.

Ah Qing asked in a low voice: "Here, when was the interrogation?"

Gu Yan replied: "Those who were arrested and interrogated overnight, all confessed."

Next, Qing heard the following statement.

"Master Jing'an and his son-in-law Chen Gong were both killed by a villain. The villain was one of the four guards of the deposed prince Li Su. Five years ago, he accompanied the deposed prince to help the disaster in Henan and supervised the transportation of grain. When the food transport team arrived in Ancheng, it was blocked. , The villain dispatched troops to clean up the official roads, and sent the rest of the grain transportation team to transport the grain and grass back to the Fengxian granary."

"The villain left the grain transportation team on the grounds of surveying the terrain, gathered a few people to go to the Ancheng Dam, and deliberately dug the dam, diverted the flood water, and flooded the Fengxian granary. Unexpectedly, when the dam was being dug, He was discovered by someone, and the villain accidentally fell down the hillside on the way to kill him, because of time constraints, he only sent people to look for it on the hillside, and if he found it, he would immediately kill him."

"Afterwards, when the weather cleared and the road cleared, the villain continued to lead the team and joined His Highness the Crown Prince in Ancheng. At that time, there were signs of rioting among the people, and His Highness the Crown Prince was in a hurry to use food. The villain falsely passed on His Highness's order and ordered the officials under him Mix moldy grains with good grains. People suffer from disasters, suffer from hunger and cold, and are already weak. After eating moldy rice porridge, they suffer from acute illness and die.”

"Under the instigation of people with good intentions, the people started a large-scale riot. The villain and the other three guards were afraid that His Royal Highness would have an accident, and protected His Highness to leave Ancheng. The villain deliberately lagged one step behind and faked his death during the riot. Afterwards, he concealed his name, Hide your identity and sneak back to Shangjing."

Ah Qing probably knew about the rest of the matter.

"It's no wonder that the officials, big and small, spoke the same words at the beginning, claiming that His Royal Highness gave the order, but it turned out that this person falsely passed on the password, so that the Prince couldn't argue with it." Ah Qing couldn't help being a little annoyed: "It's too despicable."

Cheng Kangdi and Gu Yan's expressions were not so good.

Ah Qing didn't know what they were worried about, so she shut her mouth tactfully.

The interrogation in the courtroom is still going on.

Chu Xiao asked: "Since you are His Highness's close attendant, why did you frame His Highness for injustice?"

"Naturally... under the instigation of others."

"who?"

"Princess Heyang!"
