Chapter 352
Dali Siqing looked at him with a sullen face, and ordered the Beiya imperial guards to take him down, then turned around and walked to the next compartment.

Qin Xiang felt a large shadow covering him, raised his head and saw Dali Siqing walking in front of him, looking down at him, and said in a cold voice, "You heard what He Zhu said, do you still want to keep your mouth shut?" ?”

Qin Xiang looked disheartened, wanted to hate He Zhu, but couldn't. If it was him, he would confess in the face of life and death. With a shrug of his shoulders, he said weakly, "I will confess too."

Soon, the Minister of Dali Temple got two statements in his hands. The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the doctor Yushi looked at each other. First, he did not expect that the Minister of Dali Temple actually interrogated him, and second, he did not expect that the poisoning of Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong was caused by Duke Lu. hands down.

"Then how did Master Liu die?" Doctor Yu Shi was puzzled.

In the confessions of He Zhu, Qin Xiang, and Yang Fan, there was nothing wrong with Liu Liangji. On the contrary, Duke Lu took care of Liu Liangji a lot. From this point of view, Duke Lu did not need to poison Liu Liangji.

Dali Temple Minister shrugged, "It's true that we can't find out for a while. There are so many jailers in the sky prison, so we have to continue the interrogation."

Hearing what he said, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Doctor Yu Shi also thought it was true.

The three of them chatted for a few words, and were about to go back home when they saw the Beiya imperial guards rushing back and forth, "Return to the three adults, Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong have woken up."

The three of them looked at each other, and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice said in a deep voice, "Come on, let's go and see them."

Li Shihong's mind was muddled. He could hear voices coming from his ears, but he couldn't hear them clearly. From time to time, he could faintly feel a slight colic in his abdomen. The pain reminded him of having dinner soon thing.

He obviously tried them one by one with the silver hairpin, but he still got the trick. The moment the cramping came from his stomach, he swallowed the three pills hidden under the straw mat without hesitation.

When the jailer gave him medicine on the first day, he gave him a pill when no one was there, saying it was a detoxification pill, and he hid the pill in doubt.

When he was the only one left in the cell, two more jailers came over and threw him a pill, also saying it was an antidote pill.

After this, he received three detoxification pills.

Useful or not, he hid it.At the same time, he also realized that there were at least three forces in the dungeon trying to protect him.

At that time, he felt that he was quite safe in the sky prison, and he did not expect that death would come so quickly.

As soon as he thought that he would fall into endless darkness after taking three pills, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, the last thought in Li Shihong's mind at that time was: unexpectedly failed to pull those two adulterers and sluts Go to hell together, he hates it!

But when his consciousness began to come back gradually, and when he tried to open his eyes, he saw three people around his head, they were Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and the others.

This time, Li Shihong said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, I'm recruiting."

Dali Siqing and the three looked at each other and smiled.

Busy until he got the confessions of Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong, Dali Siqing stretched his waist and asked around, "What time is it?"

The Beiya Imperial Army replied, "It's almost five o'clock."

The Minister of Dali Temple sighed, "Well, the two adults should go home and wash up, change into clothes and enter the palace, and report this matter to the Holy One."

Intentionally or not, the confessions of those few people were held in the hands of Dali Temple Minister. After Dali Temple Minister finished speaking, he was the first to walk out of the prison, got into the carriage, and was escorted home by the guards of the Beiya Imperial Army. .

As soon as the palace gate opened, Dali Siqing, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Doctor Yushi went to the Taiji Hall to wait.

Emperor Qi Cheng came to the Taiji Hall as usual, and in the singing of his father-in-law: "If there is something to play, if there is nothing to leave the court", the minister of Dali Temple came out.

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the minister has played. Last night at one o'clock, news came from the prison that the prisoners Chen Zhengxin, Li Shihong, and Master Liu were poisoned. Among them, Master Liu died of poisoning, and Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong were rescued."

There was a sudden commotion in the court hall, and many people took a sneak peek at the First Prince and Duke Lu.

Duke Lu's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers tucked into his sleeves moved.A look of shock flashed across the eyes of the First Prince Li Yang, and then he thought of something, and his expression was a little ugly.

The third prince, Li Chong, and the fourth prince, Li Ze, looked at Li Yang thoughtfully, thinking in unison in their hearts, whether the detoxification pill they gave had worked and saved Chen Zhengxin and Li Shihong's lives.

Emperor Qi Cheng lowered his face, "Suddenly, Tianlao was poisoned by someone overnight. When did Tianlao become so easy for criminals to attack?"

The Heavenly Prison was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment, so the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came out and bowed to salute, "This minister has failed in his duty, and the management of the Heavenly Prison is ineffective. Please punish him."

Emperor Qi Cheng patted the case, "It's best that you find out who did it, otherwise I don't need to wear the black gauze hat on your head."

At this moment, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was glad that the interrogation confession of Dali Temple Minister came, so he looked at Dali Temple Minister eagerly.

Dali Temple Minister understood, and took out a confession from his arms, "Return to the Holy Lord, these are the confessions that I interrogated with Lord Ling and Lord Shen overnight, and the perpetrator of the poison has been found."

Lu Guogong's eyes flickered slightly, and the eldest prince's heart tightened. He only felt that the tip of his heart was in his throat, and he watched nervously as Eunuch Xi presented his confession to Emperor Qi Cheng.

Emperor Qi Cheng read the first confession first, and the Minister of Dali Temple deliberately put Yang Fan's confession first. When Emperor Qi Cheng saw that Yang Fan was ordered by the Duke of Lu to take care of Liu Liangji, he squinted his eyes and was delighted. Anger is hard to tell.

And when he saw that He Zhu and Qin Xiang confessed to the poisoning, a sharp cold light flashed across his eyes.

"bang"

Emperor Qi Cheng slapped the imperial case fiercely, and many people jumped in fright, and they all stole glances at Emperor Qi Cheng.

Emperor Qi Cheng looked at Duke Lu coldly, and said without anger, "Duke Lu, can you explain to me why you sent someone to poison Chen Zhengxin and the others?"

There was another commotion in the Taiji Hall, the eldest prince's expression turned pale, the third and fourth princes showed joy, and the courtiers had their own thoughts, but they all looked at Duke Lu.

Duke Lu raised his head, glanced at Li Yang first, then bowed his hands and said, "I plead guilty, please punish me."

The courtiers never expected that the Guild of the State of Lu would simply admit to the poisoning, and they were all waiting to see how Emperor Qi Cheng would deal with the Duke of Lu.

Emperor Qi Cheng didn't expect it himself, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought, especially when Duke Lu looked at his eldest son earlier, which made him feel a little irritable. If his eldest son was not greedy for money, how could Duke Lu help him? Clean up the mess?

But this moment is a good time, how could Emperor Qi Cheng allow to miss the opportunity to weaken Duke Lu's power?

At that moment, Emperor Qi Cheng said solemnly, "The Duke of Lu sent someone to poison the prisoner in the sky prison. His conduct is immoral, and he is unworthy of being an official. Duke Lu is dismissed from all official positions and ordered Duke Lu to contemplate behind closed doors for a month."
