last time

Chapter 62
Although Chu Shiyu read the letter, he still had doubts. The matter of Liuli at the sacrificial banquet quickly disappeared, but the papers on impeachment of Li Xunchuan can already be stacked as high as one person.

Originally, Chu Shiyu was able to handle it, but it was not until Wang Jitong and Luo Rui reported that they had found a person about the official bank.

Yuanlu.

Chu Shiyu had a gloomy face, put the folder on the table, and said, "Yuan Lu, please explain carefully, you are someone close to me, why do you still have contact with Fang Hu?"

Yuan Lu was so frightened that his legs went limp, he trembled, and said: "Your Majesty... Yuan Lu dared not betray His Majesty, it was just a coincidence that the minister ordered something to happen that day, so the servant went."

"What does Fang Hu have to tell you? Doesn't he know that you are from me?" Chu Shiyu raised his voice and said, "Forget it, even if he has something to tell you, what do you say it is?"

"Return...return to Your Majesty." Yuan Lu lowered his head, he straightened his words, and said: "The slave was ordered by the Fang Department to find some old boxes, the official ones, and said that it was useful for the Department of Delicacy, but others were soft-spoken and went to the Ministry of Industry I asked for it for a long time but it was not approved, so..."

Luo Rui jumped up against the case and shouted angrily: "The eunuch is talking nonsense! When did he mention this to the Ministry of Industry?! I have never heard the name of Fang Hu in the Ministry of Industry for so long. How dare you come here?" This deceives His Majesty!"

Yuan Lu immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you, my servant..."

He Xiyao took a step forward, bowed down, and said, "Your Majesty, I think Fang Hu should be brought before the imperial court at this moment for a careful interrogation."

Wang Jitong showed embarrassment, he let out a long sigh, and said, "Although Fang Hu was sent to the Ministry of Punishment by me, he has already lost his mind because of Liuli and his mother's affairs, so the interrogation probably has no way to know whether what he said is true or not. "

Chu Shiyu's anger suddenly burned, and he knew that this time it was not clear again, he covered his lips and coughed twice, and said: "You are really useful, from the end of the year to now, one by one, Can you guys give me a satisfactory answer? Now it’s nothing like this, what use is there for you?!"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

All the ministers knelt down and didn't dare to raise their heads for a long time. Chu Shiyu's chest was stuffy and his whole body hurt. He couldn't help coughing heavily. A courtier flinched, he smiled wryly, and fell on his back on the dragon chair with a pale face, unconscious.

He Xiyao was shocked and shouted: "Your Majesty... pass on the imperial physician!"

Wang Jitong had no other choice but to interrogate Fang Hu overnight. As a result, he became even more insane. He didn't ask anything all night, and he was about to be tortured to death, but Chu Shiyu didn't order him, and he didn't dare to do it. The dead party.

He Xiyao went around the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a few times. Apart from hearing the screams, he was talking nonsense. He dripped the water from the teacup onto the table, tapped the water with his finger, and had a great time.

Wang Jitong smelled blood all over his body, and when he was tired of asking questions, he came out to talk to He Xiyao. Wang Jitong shook his sleeves in disgust, and said, "Every time a difficult problem is thrown to the Court of Justice, or to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it's really..."

"Stay in his position and seek his own government." He Xiyao bowed his head and said, "It's not easy to earn this official money, you and I have to keep this job first, bear with it."

Wang Jitong patted the table and said, "Fucking mother, I don't want to do it for a long time. Apart from the birth of the prince, what other satisfactory things have happened this year?"

He Xiyao sighed, looked around, and whispered, "Do you think it's the prime minister on the left?"

Wang Jitong pondered for a moment, and said: "No, Zuo Xiang doesn't have that much thought on these matters. Besides, if you think about it, Zuo Xiang's mansion almost monopolizes the silk business. The big money must be flowing water, how can we bother to do such a game for these money."

"People die for wealth, and birds die for food." He Xiyao flicked the water on his fingertips and said, "For money, no one can bear it."

Wang Jitong said: "Although this is the case, if the left minister does something, he will definitely order us to be among them, and he will not fight alone like this. I always feel that doing this is a kind of all-or-nothing meaning. If it succeeds, it will be Big deal."

He Xiyao frowned, and he said softly, "...Desperate..."

"Why, do you have an idea?" Wang Jitong asked.

He Xiyao shook his head and said, "No."

Wang Jitong sighed, and said, "Forget it, I'll try again, I don't believe I can't get anything out of Fang Hu's mouth."

After finishing speaking, he entered the interrogation room again, and He Xiyao took off his robe and left. At this time, that person should fulfill his promise.

***
There is no lamp in the house, but there is a smell of burning incense, which climbs all over the walls, making it a bit stuffy.

Li Chengru looked out the window in the dark, pinched the beads in his hand, pushed the beads one by one, and heaved a long sigh, but there was no helplessness in it, on the contrary, it was refreshing and the relief of success.

After waiting for a long time, he couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "It's already here, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

He Xiyao pushed open the door, and Li Chengru went to the table and lit a lamp. The room was much brighter, reflecting Li Chengru's old face.

He Xiyao said: "Now everything is as you wish, my wife and children..."

Li Chengru put the beads on the table and said, "They have already gone home. I keep my word, haven't you seen it?"

He Xiyao rushed all the way from the Ministry of Punishment, and before he could go home to have a look, his eyes lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Are you telling the truth?"

Li Chengru nodded calmly and said, "Of course it is true."

He Xiyao was about to go back, but was stopped by Li Chengru. Li Chengru took his time, poured a cup of hot tea, and said, "Don't worry, there is plenty of time for family reunions. Sit down first, and let's catch up."

"Reminiscing about the past?" He Xiyao frowned and said, "I have nothing to say to you, nothing to recount the past."

Li Chengru clicked his lips, and said with a muffled laugh: "Why are you so ruthless? Doesn't Mr. He have affection and righteousness for everyone? Wouldn't you just come to have tea?"

He Xiyao looked at Li Chengru and said, "Why did you do this? Do you know that these things will gradually disintegrate the power within Gaodu? How dare you do this?"

Li Chengru raised his eyes and said, "Master He, curiosity killed the cat. I advise you not to ask too many questions."

He Xiyao fell silent.

Li Chengru smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't be afraid. You helped me, and I won't do anything to you, but you have to keep your mouth shut. If anything is leaked, you..."

He Xiyao raised his eyes, but Li Chengru didn't continue, but just sighed and said, "Forget it, we don't know anyone outside of this door."

He Xiyao was sweating all over, and even the evening wind didn't blow it away. He got into his son's house and told his wife and children about his love for a long time.

***
Yan Chengxuan was free, and found a hidden place on the edge of Gaodu City to entertain guests. He was in a good mood, so he called Zhuo Ran to join him.This place is separated from Gaodu by a large jungle, so it is very quiet, and no one noticed this place at Haishi.

Yan Chengxuan opened his mouth to drink, he made a lot of friends, almost all the officials' sons and daughters came here, Zhuo Ran only knew Yan Chengxuan, she didn't dare to drink too much, just stared outside from time to time, wanting to leave quickly.

There are many things that need to be interviewed with Han Congzhong, and there may be variables if the time is delayed for a long time.Yan Chengxuan took Zhuo Ran's arm and said: "Xiaqiu, what are you doing, drink, after a while it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, be happy."

Zhuo Ran saluted and said, "Second Young Master's kindness, Xiaqiu appreciates it. It's just that it's getting late and Xiaqiu is not feeling well, so he wants to go ahead."

Yan Chengxuan was being coaxed happily, so he naturally responded to everything, and hurriedly ordered: "Jingshan, prepare a carriage and take Siye back home."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Then thank you, Second Young Master."

In order not to make Yan Chengxuan suspicious, Zhuo Ran didn't let Chang Yinyu follow, but asked him to investigate the matter with Fu Sisi and discuss with her when she went back.

It was cool in the bamboo forest at night, the curtains of the carriage were blown up and down, Zhuo Ran didn't bother to close them, so he rubbed his hands and squeezed his arms tightly.

After traveling for a few miles, Zhuo Ran felt a little sleepy, but she still heard something wrong outside. She raised the curtain, and saw the driver was dead with a long sword in his body.

Zhuo Ran's pupils shrank sharply, and she heard the clanging of swords in her ears. She turned to avoid it, stepped on the back of the horse and rolled onto the roof of the carriage. A group of people in night clothes swung their long swords and stabbed at Zhuo Ran .

Zhuo Ran raised her foot and kicked one person down, and fell off the carriage with force. She snatched two long swords, but Gu Songyin didn't bring her with her. Zhuo Ran frowned. These people seemed to come to take her life. Holding the sword flower in his hand, he tried to dodge the attack with skill, but he couldn't use his strength at all.

Han Congzhong has been forcing her to strengthen her body. Although she has worked hard for the past four years, she is still no match for the weakness in her bones. Such a desperate style of play exhausted her physical strength very quickly. One of them was wearing a black mask. Before he recovered, he felt a pain in his leg, and suddenly lost strength and fell on his back.

The swords of those people fell on Zhuo Ran's side.She turned over with difficulty, reached out and grabbed a bamboo pole, and stood up leaning on the sword.

"Who are you guys?" Zhuo Ran said reluctantly, "Don't you want to kill the court officials?"

"Hmph." The man who showed up had a long scar on his face. He stared at Zhuo Ran and sneered, and said, "The imperial order? It's your life that you want!"

Zhuo Ran clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, she couldn't figure out who this group of people belonged to for a moment, so she could only hold her breath and concentrate, if she could, at least she could escape with light work.There is no one inhabited for several miles around here, and it may take several days before she dies here to be found.

These people have good martial arts and are well-trained. If Zhuo Ran wants to escape, he can only rely on outsmarting.

Zhuo Ran covered her lips and coughed a few times. She thought it would slow down, but the coughing got worse. She frowned tightly, looked forward, and said tremblingly, "You..."

The assassin suddenly turned around and looked behind him. Zhuo Ran immediately breathed out, held the sword and cut the rope of the carriage, flew on the horse, tightened the reins and rushed out.

Scarface threw a sword, Zhuo Ran was not good at equestrian skills, so he didn't dodge it, the blade brushed against his arm, causing pain to his heart.

"Boss, are you still chasing?"

"She rides a horse, can you catch up?" Scarface withdrew his sword and said, "Go back, we will have a long time to come."
