Prince Qi's mansion seems to be a sea of ​​swords and flames, fewer and fewer officials visit the door, but there is one person who must visit the door every now and then, and it is Lang Wuxu, the minister of the household department.

Lang Wuxu is the core figure of Qiwang Party. He was originally a member of Hanwang Party. He betrayed Hanwang Party and defected to Qiwang Party.

Lang Wuxu had no way out, even if he was in danger, he could only hug King Qi's thigh.

In the dark and deserted Qi Wang Mansion, Qi Wang Yingren's eyes were shining at this moment, and Lang Wuxu was sitting at the bottom, with a little excitement between his brows.

"Are they reliable?" King Qi asked in a low voice.

Lang Wuxu said with confidence, "Your Highness, please rest assured that this matter has always been carried out in secret. Although some people were found secretly, these people were afraid of Qiu Jun's cruelty and dared not come forward. But this Chen Guo and Qiu Jun's With the revenge of killing his father, he has always wanted to take revenge, but he has never had a chance, this time with His Highness's support, he is willing to stand up and report Qiu Junpu."

"The evidence in his hand can really bring down Qiu Junyu?" King Qi still asked cautiously.

Lang Wuxu leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Lang Wuxu is insidious and cunning, and it is not easy to find evidence directly from him, but his son Qiu Fang is an arrogant and domineering person. And he was stupid. Chen Guo's father was originally the county magistrate of Qiuhu County, Jinling Road, and he was from the same town as Qiu Junhao. Qiu's family in Qiuhu County is a big family with a lot of land and wealth. Although Qiu Junhao is treacherous and insidious, he is very cautious in doing things. He knew that with Qiu Fang's temperament, troubles would happen sooner or later in the capital, and he had many enemies, so he let Qiu Fang go back to his hometown in the early years. After all, he was not in the capital, so even if something happened, it could be undone."

King Qi sneered and said, "Qiu Junpin has harmed countless people, so be careful even when sleeping."

"Qiu Fang is in his hometown, so he is naturally a local tyrant. He is the son of the minister of punishment, but not many people dare to provoke him." Lang Wuxu said softly: "Actually, the Chen family used to be under the nose of the Qiu family. Chen Guo's father, Chen Guo It is said that Lan was able to sit on the county magistrate's position because of Qiu Junyu's relationship."

"Since this is the case, why do the two families have deep hatred?"

"Everything was provoked by Qiu Fang. The Chen family was also a big family in Qiuhu County. They had a manor with a very good location, but they were unexpectedly favored by Qiu Fang. Naturally, the Chen family did not dare to fight against Qiu Fang. There was nothing they could do. , sold the manor to Qiu Fang at a low price, and the relationship between the two families was pretty good at that time, and seeing that the Chen family was so acquainted, Qiu Fang took a different view of the Chen family." Lang Wuxu said softly: "That's why Chen Guo got married. At that time, it stands to reason that with Qiu Fang's status, the son of the little county magistrate got married, so he naturally didn't need to go, but maybe Qiu Fang felt that the Chen family gave up the manor and was very obedient to him, so that time it was also a face. , go to the wedding banquet."

"Did it happen at the wedding banquet?" King Qi asked immediately.

"That's right." Lang Wuxu sighed, "Qiu Fang's visit is a way of giving face to the Chen family. Naturally, the Chen family took good care of them. In order to show their respect to Qiu Fang, they even invited the bride out. The couple toast to Qiu Fang!"

King Qi faintly felt something, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

"Qiu Fang was already drunk at that time, and when he saw the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, he immediately fell in love with her." Lang Wuxu said: "Before the wedding banquet was over, Qiu Fang took the opportunity to break into the new house...Your Highness, the people behind here You can guess the matter, not to mention the humble position."

"It's so bold." Qi Wang was furious, "Such a treacherous thing happened...but at this time, Beijing has never heard of it?"

"Your Highness, I have sixteen Dao Dao in the Qin Dynasty, and there are countless prefectures and counties. How can every incident be reported to the capital, not to mention that the matter was dealt with at that time, and the Qiu family sealed the news tightly." Lang Wuxu said : "After the incident, the Chen family was naturally furious. They wanted to go to Beijing to sue Qiu Fang. Qiu Fang threatened the Chen family. If the matter became serious, the Chen family would be destroyed. Not only that, he also gave the Chen family 500 yuan. Two silvers, I wrote a contract, and that contract was to use 500 taels of silver to buy back the daughter-in-law that Chen Guo just passed through."

King Qi clenched his fists, his eyes glowing.

"The Chen family will naturally not let go of such a shameful humiliation. Qiu Fang snatched the daughter-in-law of the Chen family and took away the manor. The Chen family can swallow their anger, but raped the daughter-in-law who just passed the door and bought it for money. How could the Chen family do it?" People can bear such humiliation. Chen Lan immediately packed up her luggage and set off for Beijing to sue the imperial court. At that time, Qiu Junyu had many enemies in Beijing. The position of Shangshu must not be kept."

King Qi hurriedly asked: "Then what happened?"

"Chen Lan walked halfway, and died suddenly." Lang Wuxu said: "The body can only be sent back halfway. It is said that the body has no injuries, and the cause of death is very strange, but Chen Guo firmly believes that it is Qiu Fang who is afraid of this. The Dongchuang incident happened, so they sent someone to kill him."

"When did this happen?"

"three years ago."

"My daughter-in-law was robbed and my father was killed. Why is there no movement from Chen Guo?"

Lang Wuxu explained: "Of course Chen Guo wants to continue to sue, but Qiu Fang's power over there is too strong, Chen Guo can't leave Qiuhu County at all, and Qiu Fang has repeatedly threatened that if Chen Guo really wants to sue, he must The Chen family should not be left behind. Moreover, Qiu Fang bribed the members of the Chen family, and the Chen family members also continued to persuade Chen Guo to let him calm down. The Qiu family is powerful, and the Chen family is not an opponent at all. And not only Qiu Fang's people stared at Chen Guo, and even the Chen clan helped Qiu Fang stare at Chen Guo, not allowing him to leave Qiuhu County. Chen Guo also knew that he couldn't fight the Qiu family head-on, endured humiliation, and waited for revenge. Chance."

"Then how did you find Chen Guo this time?"

Lang Wuxu smiled and said: "I knew from the very beginning that although it is not impossible to bring down Qiu Junyu and find flaws in Qiu Junyu, it is really too difficult in a short period of time, and we don't have much time, so we don't have too much time. It took a lot of time for us to find evidence of crimes on Qiu Junyu. So I thought about it and decided to attack Qiu Fang, so I secretly sent people to Qiuhu County, and by chance, I found out about such an unjust case."

"Lord Lang is indeed very wise." King Qi praised: "Although such a major event has not been reported to Qiuhu County, there must not be too few people in Qiuhu County who know about it."

Lang Wuxu said with a smile: "When I heard the news, I acted decisively and immediately sent someone to rescue Chen Guo. Not only Chen Guo, but also the daughter-in-law of the Chen family who was directly involved in the case...!"

King Qi said happily: "Where are they now?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, their humble positions have brought them into the capital in secret, and they are now hiding in a safe place. They can launch trouble only after His Highness gives an order." Lang Wuxu clenched his fists, his eyes couldn't hide his excitement, "In addition to Chen Guo and his wife, I have also convinced several members of the Chen family that they are willing to testify. The most important thing is that after the daughter-in-law of the Chen family was bought back by Qiu Fang, she was molested for less than two months. , even if she is tired, she has been neglected in the Qiu family, but this daughter-in-law of the Chen family is also a strong woman, and she has never forgotten the shame. Great revenge!"

King Qi was even more delighted and said, "Is there any other evidence in her hand?"

"Yes." Lang Wuxu nodded and said: "According to what she said, she has several letters secretly communicated by the Qiu family and his son. Among these letters, corruption of ink is involved. I personally accepted the bribes, and the bribes went to Qiu Fang, so the Qiu family accepted the bribes on Qiu Fang's body. It was clearly written in those letters that Qiu Fang accepted the bribes, and the amount was very detailed."

"Okay!" King Qi clapped his hands, "With the case of the Chen family, Qiu Junpao can't turn over, and he is greedy for ink in private, as long as the evidence is convincing, this king can definitely kill Qiu Junpao. By the way, Mr. Lang, then A few letters are very important, do you have them in your hands?"

Lang Wuxu said: "Your Highness, I have read the letter, but...they are not willing to hand over the letter now. They still seem to doubt our intentions, it is an important evidence of their revenge, and they dare not hand it over easily. To the humble staff." Paused, slightly embarrassed, "One more thing, although they are gnashing their teeth to avenge their revenge, but...they still don't trust us until now, when the humble staff left, they seemed to be hesitant. "

"Hesitating?" King Qi was a little anxious, "There's no reason to hesitate. The Qiu family is outrageous, and Chen Guo has the hatred of taking his wife and killing his father. Now this king supports them to avenge their revenge. What worries do they have?"

"Although I told them that there are nobles who will help them win this lawsuit, but...for the sake of safety, I did not disclose the identity of His Highness." Lang Wuxu said softly: "They said that within the imperial court, officials protect each other, and Qiu Junyu They have stolen the Minister of Criminal Justice for more than ten years, and the matter of torture is in the hands of Qiu Junyu. They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that the big revenge will not be avenged, and they will die in peace. If they are not sure of victory, they will not easily sue Qiu Junyu."

King Qi said: "Tell them that they can go directly to the Ministry of Punishments the day after tomorrow. This king will go there in person the day after tomorrow and will make decisions for them."

"If you want to win their trust, you can only reveal your Highness's identity to them." Lang Wuxu said softly: "But the prince's eyes and ears are probably watching His Highness secretly at this moment. If His Highness goes to see them and reveals his identity to them, the humble official will be worried." They will be noticed by the princelings, and the consequences will be disastrous."

King Qi thought for a while, took a piece of jade pendant from his waist, and said in a low voice: "Take this jade pendant and show them. It is a royal property. Since Chen Guo used to be a child of an official family, he should know it." Royal stuff."

Lang Wuxu hesitated for a moment, then carefully put away the jade pendant, and then asked softly, "Your Highness is asking them to go to the Ministry of Punishment the day after tomorrow?"

"The Ministry of Punishment will interrogate officials the day after tomorrow. Since this king is a subsidiary state, he is naturally qualified to go and hear the trial." King Qi said softly, "Not only will this king go in person, but he will also invite the crown prince to listen to the trial together. At noon, you ask Chen Guo The couple and relevant witnesses must rush to the Ministry of Punishment and beat the big drum outside the office of the Ministry of Punishment, then the king will know what to do."

"Let the prince hear the trial in court. When the time comes, Chen Guo and his wife will sue Qiu Junao. With all the witnesses and material evidence, Qiu Junhao will have nowhere to escape." Lang Wuxu excitedly said: "Your Highness is wise, this time we will be able to defeat the enemy with one blow!"
