Hearing that Luo Shiheng blatantly quibbled in front of his face, Ying Ren was extremely annoyed, and said angrily: "There is no need to continue the trial, I will drag this traitor down and cut him down."

Qiao Mingtang raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute." Walking to Yingren's side, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, Luo Shiheng deliberately concealed something, and there must be an inside story. I'm worried. If you can't find out the behind-the-scenes, you can just use it." Afraid...!" His face was full of worry.

After Luo Shiheng was captured in Mao County, Ying Ren and his party brought him back to Yunshan Mansion. After Yunshan Mansion, let Shenyiwei pry open Luo Shiheng's teeth.

However, when he returned to Yunshan Mansion for such a major assassination, he had to explain to Xu Congyang who was already waiting in Xingyuan.

Although Yingren was stubborn from time to time, what happened to Maoxian this time was extraordinary, but Yingren didn't dare to hide it from Xu Congyang. In fact, he wanted to ask Xu Congyang how to deal with it next.

Although Luo Shiheng assassinated, he was not a cat or a dog, he was a commander, his status was not low, and the matter was of great importance. After Yingren calmed down, he also felt that he should not do anything wrong.

Xu Congyang immediately asked Luo Shiheng to be handed over to the Department of Criminal Justice for interrogation. Although Ying Ren was a little unhappy, he was helpless.

Luo Shiheng's sophistry in the lobby made Yingren even more furious. According to his current thoughts, he really wanted to kill Luo Shiheng with one knife, so as to avoid more troubles.

Seeing Qiao Mingtang whispering, Luo Shiheng said with a sneer, "Governor Qiao, you don't have to confuse Your Highness, what kind of thoughts do you have, do you think you don't know?"

Qiao Mingtang looked at Luo Shiheng coldly, and said calmly, "What do you know?"

Luo Shiheng said sharply: "I know that you have bad intentions, but I am not afraid to tell you that the crime of offending His Highness will be borne by me alone. If you want to get other words from this general and implicate other people, I will persuade you You still give up on this idea." Loudly said: "This general is the commander of the Xishan Daowei Army appointed by the Holy Majesty, the Department of Criminal Justice has no right to interrogate this general, and you, Qiao Mingtang, are not qualified either."

"Does this old man have the qualifications?" Another voice came from the side, but Xu Congyang looked stern and walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

He is the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the supervisor of all officials, not to mention the commander of the Guards, he is a relative of the emperor, and if he violates the laws of the country, he is also eligible to be tried.

When Luo Shiheng saw Xu Congyang coming out, he didn't dare to be frivolous anymore. He knelt down and respectfully said, "Meet the Grand Scholar!"

Xu Congyang looked at him coldly with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Luo Shiheng, your commander's mansion has been surrounded and your family members have been detained. I will ask you again, why did you assassinate His Highness King Qi?"

Luo Shiheng shook his head and said: "Great scholar, you must have heard what the last general said just now. The last general would never dare to assassinate His Highness. It was a mistake. The last general was negligent and offended."

"You really don't want to recruit?"

"The last general has nothing to say." Luo Shiheng raised his head and said, "You can have the last general's head chopped off right now. The last general offends His Highness, and he deserves death. It's just that the last general is a commander. Without the approval of the Ministry of Criminal Justice by the Holy Majesty, no one can easily kill the general. If the family members of the general are offended, according to the Criminal Law of the Great Qin Dynasty, the family members should not be implicated."

Xu Congyang nodded and said: "Luo Shiheng, as a minister of the imperial court, I will not damage the guidelines. I have already written a memorial and submitted it to Beijing immediately."

Luo Shiheng said: "The university scholar is fair and honest, and I will be grateful in the end." After saying this, he closed his lips tightly and didn't say another word.

Xu Congyang waved his hand, and two Shenyi guards stepped forward and took Luo Shiheng down.

Ying Ren had already come over, and said urgently: "Teacher, why don't you just let him go like this?"

"Assassination is a serious crime, how can you let it go lightly?" Xu Congyang said solemnly: "He is right. He is the command envoy appointed by the Holy Majesty. Even if he is guilty, he can't be dealt with lightly. You need to ask the Holy Majesty."

Qiao Mingtang approached and said in a low voice: "Grand scholar, this Luo Shiheng is eloquent, so he avoids the serious and takes the light...!"

"Don't rush into the matter of torture." Xu Congyang said slowly: "Luo Shiheng's attitude today is full of fighting spirit. It is not easy to ask anything useful from him."

Qiao Mingtang said, "Then what's next?"

"Destroy his heart first, and then open his mouth." Xu Congyang said solemnly: "If the heart is not extinguished, the mouth will not be opened. If the heart is extinguished, the mouth will be opened." Looking at Qiao Mingtang, he said: "Governor Qiao, this matter still needs to be settled." I want you to worry a lot."

Qiao Mingtang seemed to understand something, and nodded slightly.

Yingren was a little confused, but Xu Congyang was already looking at him with serious eyes. Yingren was so terrified by this gaze that he lowered his head. After a while, Xu Congyang stopped and said slowly, "Your Highness, go back to Xingyuan earlier." Rest." After a pause, he said again: "Your Highness, I have already invited you to play the emperor, Your Highness was frightened, and you should return to the capital to recuperate as soon as possible, but I don't know what your Highness thinks?"

Yingren was a little embarrassed.

He sneaked out of the palace several times in Yunshan Mansion, and this time he led people to Mao County without telling Xu Congyang, which naturally made Xu Congyang very angry.

It's just that the name of a monarch and minister made Xu Congyang not easy to get angry, and Xu Congyang's request for Yingren to return to Beijing was naturally a reaction in anger.

"Then when will the teacher return to Beijing?" Ying Ren asked, "Are you going back to Beijing with me?"

Xu Congyang shook his head and said: "The old minister still has official duties, His Highness will go back to Beijing first."

Yingren was even more embarrassed, looked at Qiao Mingtang, and said, "Governor Qiao, I want to ask you for someone."

Qiao Mingtang was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Who does Your Highness want?"

"Chu Huan!" Ying Ren said: "Chu Huan is a brave and resourceful person. I happen to be short of a guard by my side. Can I transfer him to my king?"

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Chu Huan is a courtier of Daqin, and even His Highness's courtier. It is his blessing that His Highness wants to use it. It's just...!" Huan's origin is still very vague, if such a character is handed over to Yingren, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid I will be implicated too.

"Just what?" Yingren thought Qiao Mingtang was unwilling, and asked with a frown.

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly said: "It's just that Chu Huan may not be suitable. There are still brave fighters in the imperial guards. If His Highness allows, I can recommend a few people who are stronger than Chu Huan."

Yingren shook his head and said, "No need. This king just wants Chu Huan."

Qiao Mingtang saw that Yingren was already showing displeasure, so he didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly said, "Your order is yours."

Xu Congyang didn't say much, he just said: "Governor Qiao, Luo Shiheng sent someone to detain him carefully, don't make a mistake." Then he and Yingren left the Criminal Department's Yamen, Qiao Mingtang sent them outside, watching Xu Congyang and Yingren actually boarded the same carriage.

Seeing Xu Congyang's haggard look, Yingren said cautiously, "Teacher, you... this time, the students didn't follow the instructions, and this incident happened. Please forgive me, teacher."

Although he is a prince, he is respectful to Xu Congyang.

Xu Congyang shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, do you know that you have brought a big trouble back."

Yingren was startled.

"If it was in Mao County, it would be fine to kill Luo Shiheng directly, but since you didn't kill him, it would be a big trouble." Xu Congyang shook his head and said, "You must never touch this person again."

Yingren frowned and said, "The student also thought about killing me on the spot, but the student didn't think that Luo Shiheng really had the guts to assassinate the king. I'm afraid there will be other people colluding with him later, so I took it back and interrogated some things from him." come out……!"

Xu Congyang couldn't help but said: "Confused." Leaning forward slightly, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, you must remember that Luo Shiheng's assassination was not ordered by anyone."

Seeing Xu Congyang's serious expression, Yingren couldn't help but said, "Teacher, why do you say that?"

Xu Congyang sighed: "It's not that the old minister wants to say this, but His Highness must think so in his heart." He lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, in the lobby today, you shouldn't have rushed out, let alone come forward."

Yingren was completely puzzled.

"Hand Luo Shiheng over to Qiao Mingtang. How they want to interrogate is their business. Whether there is a result or not, His Highness doesn't have to ask." Xu Congyang said softly: "Your Highness, remember what the old minister said, this assassination, no one Instruct Luo Shiheng."

Seeing Xu Congyang's serious expression, Ying Ren didn't know what the old scholar was thinking.

"The old minister will arrange for His Highness to return to Beijing as soon as possible." Xu Congyang said in a low voice: "After His Highness returned to Beijing, he used the excuse of being frightened by the assassination this time and rested in the palace. If there is nothing else to do, don't contact anyone...!" Said Here, after a moment of silence, he finally said: "Your Highness, can you finish reading the "Historical Records" that the old minister gave you last time?"

Yingren was embarrassed for a while, and said, "That...!"

Xu Congyang had already said: "Your Highness will read the "Historical Records" by heart when he returns to Beijing. After the old minister returns to Beijing, he will check His Highness's understanding of "Historical Records". I believe His Highness will definitely have different insights after reading it every time."

Yingren felt that Xu Congyang's words were mysterious and weird tonight, and he was hiding his head and showing his tail, but he nodded and said: "The teacher ordered, and the students should obey."

Xu Congyang looked very tired. He leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Xu Congyang and Yingren hadn't returned to Xingyuan yet, but Wei Tianqing had already seen Qiao Mingtang, and told about the situation of the Commander's Mansion, Qiao Mingtang held a teacup, and said with a faint smile: "Let's keep an eye on it, don't let anyone out. "

Wei Tianqing asked cautiously: "My lord, is there any result in the interrogation of Luo Shiheng?"

Qiao Mingtang put down his teacup, and said with a sneer, "Xu Congyang let go and left the matter in my hands, what can I do? Luo Shiheng argued in court, and we can't convict him, but this matter can only go to court." Report, Luo Shiheng is pretending to be crazy and foolish, with a glib tongue, just waiting for his master to rescue him."

"Assassination and treason are really serious crimes. No matter how much Luo Shiheng quibbles, he will not be able to get rid of the crime." Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "His Royal Highness Qi is a witness, does Luo Shiheng really have the ability to escape?"

Qiao Mingtang said with a faint smile: "Of course he can't escape." After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and sighed: "It's just that it would be a pity if we can't get something from him." He suddenly smiled and said: "Tianqing, sit down and talk." Letting Wei Tianqing sit down beside him, he said with a smile: "You have been with me for many years, you are my confidant, and you have been in the position of the Imperial Guard for many years, do you want to move your position? "

Wei Tianqing was taken aback.

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand. You are the most important person of this official, and this official will not let you go."

Wei Tianqing said cautiously: "What does your lord mean?"

"Regardless of whether someone protects him or not, Luo Shiheng's position as commander cannot be fulfilled." Wei Tianqing picked up his teacup and took a sip: "This position should also be replaced."
