The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

"Your internal injuries have not healed yet. Is it uncomfortable if you suddenly pull out the door?"

Han Shiyan didn't talk about the case, but looked at Gu Shiwei's hand. The cell door was not smooth, and there were many barbs on it, which would dig into the flesh if not careful.

Gu Shiwei raised his hands, handed them to Han Shiyan and waved them, "What can happen? If I wasn't worried that I would kill King Qi if I kicked him in, I wouldn't show my hand to your future son. The Prime Minister was so frightened.”

Han Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her fingers were white and uninjured, and that she showed no sign of reluctance.

The military commander really resists being beaten.

Unlike the elders in their Yushitai, they can dislocate their jaws even if they sneeze.

"King Qi just hanged himself. The cell was very clean, and there were no traces of dragging on the ground. There were guards at the corner not far from him. If there was an abnormal noise, they would notice it immediately. "

"His fingers were clean and free of flakes of skin. There was only one strangulation mark on his neck. The low table on the floor showed signs of being pushed and moved by his feet."

"In order not to make such a loud noise, he even put some hay under his desk."

Gu Shiwei listened to Han Shiyan's discovery and nodded, "Even if the jailer heard the sound of the desk being moved, he would only assume that he accidentally moved the desk when he was writing a confession and it would not cause alarm."

"There is another reason why they are not alert. The jailer Fang Zhan who led the way said that there are two locks on the door."

"One key is on the captain who is on duty, and the other key is on the cell leader. It takes two people working together to open the cell door."

Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan have been together for a long time. No matter how much they burn bridges in private, their tacit understanding in investigating the case is unparalleled.

"The ink on the confession has dried, but he was still alive when we rescued him, which means that King Qi just hung it up not long ago."

"Yes, even if we don't chat more at the door, we can still see him hanging in the air and kicking his legs."

"In such a short period of time, no one can hang him up, lock the door and come out. The locks on the cell door are wrapped with chains, and there is not much time for him to take his time."

The two of them were adding words to each other, and the things that had seemed so strange before suddenly became clear.

"Someone asked King Qi to hang himself. He had no choice but to write down the charges and then hanged himself." Gu Shiwei frowned and looked at Han Shiyan, "Isn't this very strange? King Qi committed treason and regicide. It's a serious crime, even if he is the official's younger brother, he will definitely die."

"The prince of the East Palace conspired to rebel, but we, Mr. Zhang, directly killed him."

"The officials have tried their best to set up a trap to uproot King Qi's party. There is no reason to leave him alive. The reason why he is not dead yet is because there are still things to find out."

Gu Shiwei was not so shameless as an official. It was because she wanted to investigate the Fei Que case and reverse the case for her father that she did not execute King Qi on the spot.

She didn't know what the inside story was, but if she were an official, she would at least find out how the national seal, which fell into the hands of King Qi after the Feique case, ended up in the hands of the Northern Dynasties.

What they encountered when they left the city in the capital of the Northern Dynasty showed that the King of Qi had colluded with the Northern Dynasty.

So how did King Qi collude with the Northern Dynasty, and what other high-ranking traitors like him were there in Bianjing?
Han Shiyan nodded with a heavy expression, "That's the problem. Since King Qi is bound to die, why would anyone force him to hang himself?"

"Since he will die no matter what, why should King Qi be threatened?"

Han Shiyan's small building is not far from the Yushitai. As soon as the carriage stopped, the conversation between the two stopped abruptly.

Gu Shinwei jumped off the carriage and walked in calmly. She crossed the threshold and stepped one leg in. She couldn't help but poke her head out, and then stepped in again.

The house that had been bare before was now filled with the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers, just like entering the back garden of an official's house.

The most bizarre thing is that among those rare flowers and plants, plum blossom piles and large sandbags are hidden, creating a small martial arts arena. There is also a weapons rack there, with eighteen kinds of weapons on it. It looks really stylish.

"Your house is really both civilized and military. It grows flowers that civil servants like and punches that military generals like."

Before Han Shi was satisfied with his feast, he heard Gu Shiwei say again, "But looking at it, I always felt that what Zhang Fei was doing was not a Zhangba snake spear, but holding an orchid finger and swinging a peach blossom branch."

Speaking of peach blossoms, Gu Shinwei's eyes moved, "What a guy!" This guy dug out an old peach tree from somewhere and planted it in a corner of the courtyard wall. The soil on that surface was still fresh mud.

At this time, the peach blossoms in Bianjing have stopped blooming, and the trees are full of lush leaves.

But even so, until March next year, Gu Shiwei could imagine standing on the small building and opening the window to see the wonderful scene of pink.

Han Shiyan quickly shook his head when he heard the outrageous description.

If this continues, he simply won't be able to look directly at the two words Zhang Fei.

Gu Shiwei sighed with emotion, but did not stop. The two went directly to the small building, leaving Chang Guan to watch below.

Han Shiyan's big desk was still there, with clean white paper on it, and the four treasures of the study. Everything looked the same as when he came back, but if you think about it carefully, you can see that there are differences.

Gu Shiwei looked at the extra wide Taishi chair beside the big table and the new tea sets, and looked at Han Shiyan with a strange expression.

She thought for a moment and said bluntly, "When I say something strange, I'm not just referring to King Qi. Do you understand this?"

Han Shiyan's expression changed slightly, he nodded, walked to the small stove with familiarity, and gave Gu Shiwei some tea.

"I know that you don't trust my cousin Han Jingyan. You have doubted him and the Han family in the past."

Gu Shiwei took the tea cup and took a sip. The tea had been warming on the small stove and was not boiling hot. It's not tea water, but boiled osmanthus wine. After a sip, you will be surrounded by a faint aroma of wine.

"I doubt your cousin, but you are still so calm? Shouldn't you be angry?"

Han Shiyan shook his head, "I often doubt myself. And it's not just you, I also think he's a little strange."

"Although the four of us grew up together, in fact everyone's principles and ideas of doing things are very different. According to my understanding of Han Jingyan, he is a steady and practical man, and he has been working abroad since the imperial examination. Be a parent officer.”

"The two of us can see something fishy about King Qi, and he must be able to see it too."

"But he didn't ask any questions related to King Qi's suicide. Instead, he kept looking at the confession and asking questions. This is very unlike him."

Han Shiyan paused after saying this, "However, I still think that Han Jingyan is not a bad person. He must have his reasons for being like this." (End of Chapter)
