Chapter 360 Death News
(Second update!)

Just when Lin Shiqian and Qin Yi were about to take a step back, the gate of the Jingzhao government office was opened, and a person came in surrounded by Jingzhao government soldiers.

The one who came in was a middle-aged man with a white face and a whisk in his hand.Both Lin Shiqian and Qin Yi knew this person, they often saw this person outside the gate of Zichen Palace, this was Liu Zhi, the seventh-rank servant in the palace.

Liu Zhi came at this time, did the emperor have any orders?Lin Shiqian and Qin Yi looked at each other, feeling ominous in their hearts: Could it be that the emperor wants to know about the murder outside the city gate?Or, the emperor already knew about Qin Ji's existence?
Qin Yi's heart suddenly beat violently.He was afraid, he was afraid that Liu Zhi came for Qin Ji, once Qin Ji was brought before the emperor, it meant that Qin Ji's departure from Leizhou could no longer be covered up.Your Majesty, how will you deal with it?Will Duke Cheng's government be convicted of this?

Thinking of this, Qin Yi gave Lin Shiqian a wink, meaning to let Lin Shiqian cover up the matter, otherwise, the descendants of the Lin family would be lost.

Lin Shiqian understood what Qin Yi meant, worried about his children and grandchildren, and nodded slightly.

Liu Zhi hung his whisk, as if he didn't see the interaction between Qin and Lin's eyes, but said in a thin voice: "The emperor has an order to bring Mr. Qin Shizi into the palace immediately."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the two of them, as if he had just seen Qin Yi, he bent down to express his respect.Although he is an internal servant, he is of high rank, and he is serving in front of the Zichen Palace. He came to announce the decree at this time, representing Emperor Chongde, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

Hearing what he said, Lin Shiqian felt a "click" in his heart, feeling that the lives of his children and grandchildren were in danger.He hastily squeezed out a smile, quickly stuffed a piece of silver ingot into Liu Zhi's sleeve, and then said dryly: "The emperor has an order, and I dare not disobey it. It's just that there has never been a son of Qin in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. The prince is in Leizhou..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt his sleeve sink.He couldn't even see Liu Zhi's movements clearly, the silver ingots he sent just now came back.Liu Zhi did not accept his silver ingots, which meant that the emperor must meet him.

Lin Shiqian's smile just hung on his face like this, and he couldn't stop laughing if he couldn't take it back.He couldn't help but glanced at Qin Yi, thinking that it would be difficult.

Qin Yi's eyes became darker, he took a step forward and approached Liu Zhi, just as he was about to say something, he saw Liu Zhi showing a smile.This smile seemed to know everything, telling Qin and Lin clearly that there is no need to talk nonsense, he came to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen to bring Qin Ji into the palace.

The words Qin Yi wanted to say got stuck in his throat.Then, he heard Liu Zhi say: "Lord Lin, the emperor is aware of the bloody case outside the city gate, and a soldier from Huben saw Prince Qin with his own eyes. Please, Lord Lin, take Prince Qin into the palace quickly. If the emperor blames him, Slaves will be punished too."

His words were not upbeat, but there was a threatening meaning in them.A servant, of course, would not offend the Jingzhao government office and Cheng Guogong. He would say that, which showed the emperor's attitude.

The emperor's attitude is to see Qin Ji, no excuses!

As if to strengthen this effect, Liu Zhi smiled at Lin Shiqian again, and said, "Lord Lin, the emperor wants to see Prince Qin, not anyone else. Don't make a mistake, Lord Lin."
Hearing this, Lin Shiqian trembled a little.Originally, he was thinking of replacing Qin Ji with other death row prisoners.In this way, since he has an explanation to the emperor, he can also compromise with Qin Yi in exchange for the safety of his family.

But Liu Zhi's attitude, or the emperor's intention, made him dispel this idea.He dared not commit the crime of bullying the king; however, he had to protect his family.Now, what to do?

Lin Shiqian hesitated, and did not respond to Liu Zhi's words for a long time.Qin Yi next to him kept his lips tightly shut, letting Lin Shiqian deal with the palace by himself.

After panicking, Qin Yi figured it out.As long as Lin Shiqian firmly insisted that it was not Qin Ji who survived the murder but someone else, what can the emperor do?Even if he was punished, it would be Lin Shiqian's crime.He doesn't care how Lin Shiqian responds, in short, he will never let Qin Ji enter the palace!

Lin Shiqian gritted his teeth, and was about to insist that Qin Ji was not in the Jingzhao government office, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a middle-aged jailer appearing at the door, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

This jailer is his confidant.Lin Shiqian instantly understood what this gesture meant.Wiping his neck, this means that Qin Ji in prison No. [-] can't stand it anymore, and he will die soon!

Life is not long! ——These four words hit Lin Shiqian's heart hard, and all kinds of thoughts filtered through his mind. He quickly judged the current situation and knew exactly what he should do.

He had already reached the corner of his mouth, took a turn, and changed his words: "I would like to obey the emperor's dictation. I have indeed brought Qin Shizi back to the Jingzhao Mansion. It's just that Qin Shizi was injured and he is inconvenient to move now. Please Liu Nei wait a moment."

With his words, he decided to send Qin Ji to the palace.Hearing what he said, Qin Yi was immediately dumbfounded, and then said angrily: "Lin Shiqian!"

Calling Lin Shiqian by his name is both a threat and a warning.Did Lin Shiqian ignore his family?And Lin Shiqian said he was injured, and when the dead man left, his son was still fine, so how could he be injured?
How did Qin Yi know how frightened Lin Shiqian was at the moment?If Qin Ji is not handed over, when Qin Ji dies, he will offend the emperor and Qin Yi at the same time; if Qin Ji is handed over, with the protection of the emperor, his family may be saved!

The more Lin Shiqian thought about it, the more he felt that it was very appropriate to send Qin Ji to the palace.No matter what, Qin Ji couldn't die in the Jingzhao government office!

Thinking of this, Lin Shiqian became more anxious than Liu Zhi, and said hastily: "I will bring Qin Shizi into the palace. Lord, I'm sorry!"

This "I'm sorry", he said it without thinking, but Liu Zhi and Qin Yi thought they understood it, thinking that Lin Shiqian was afraid of the emperor, so they had to hand over Qin Ji.

Qin Ji raised Lin Shiqian's eyes like a falcon, but Lin Shiqian only gave him an apologetic look, and hurried into the inner hall. (God knows why Lin Shiqian apologized!)
Liu Zhi was confused by Lin Shiqian's actions. Seeing Qin Yi's angry look, he said, "It's about Qin Shizi, please send a memorial to the palace, too."

Pass me a memorial, of course it is a memorial to see you.The emperor did not summon Qin Yi, of course Liu Zhi would not bring him into the palace.This sentence can be regarded as Liu Zhi's kind reminder.

Qin Yi didn't thank Liu Zhi, as a Duke, he was not used to thanking him.Moreover, he felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he couldn't even speak, so he froze like this.
He thought he had a heart attack again, so he held on, wanting to wait for Lin Shiqian to send Qin Ji out.However, he did not expect that what he was waiting for was not Qin Ji himself, but the news of Qin Ji's death.
