Chapter 221
On the way back to the front yard, Yingchu woke up, but the gray-clothed man was still in a coma, tied up by Wuhuada, and thrown in front of all the guests.

Emperor Ming scanned them around, his eyes stopped on Yingchu, and he took a few more glances at the bright red wedding dress on her body.

"Have the spies caught?" Emperor Ming looked at the man in gray on the ground and asked Qi Changjin.

"Yes," Qi Changjin took out the silk cloth, "This is the military map found on him."

Everyone couldn't help but stare at that piece of silk cloth. Such a flimsy piece of silk cloth is related to the safety of the entire southern border. Whoever gets it is tantamount to pinching the lifeline of southern border.

Qi Changjin continued: "However, this military map is fake. I just used it to attract the spies from the Western Regions. I was afraid that the spies would abandon the map and escape, so I didn't tell the truth. I didn't want to but alarmed the emperor. Please forgive me! "

Some people whose eyes were burning just now, looked away resentfully.

Emperor Ming's expression softened a little, and he said, "Not bad, well done!"

"However," Emperor Ming changed his voice and said in a deep voice, "I heard that Hua Yingchu colluded with spies, what's going on?"

Yingchu showed astonishment, and looked at Qi Changjin suspiciously.

Qi Changjin said coldly: "This is a false accusation. Yingchu was imprisoned in Qi Changsheng's underground secret room, and this spy was also discovered from the secret room!"

"Indeed," said Mrs. Xun, "I can testify to it!"

Mr. Cheng Ge stood up immediately, and scolded Qi Changsheng righteously: "No wonder you have been confidently saying that Hua's collusion with spies. It turns out that you locked him up. If Mr. Qi hadn't personally searched, the missing Hua Shi may be really charged with the crime, it's really a good plan!"

"I've been wronged!" Qi Changsheng shouted repeatedly, extremely annoyed, he usually did a lot of wronging others, but this time he experienced the aggrieved anger of being wronged.

"Changsheng has never left, how could it be possible to detain Hua Yingchu?" Qi Zhou anxiously defended his son, "And Changsheng is right, Hua Yingchu was with this spy at the time, she must have colluded with the spy !Maybe they ran into the secret room by mistake when they escaped!"

"Yes, yes! It must be like this!" Qi Changsheng pointed at Hua Yingchu and said, "How do you explain why you are hiding in the same secret room as the spies?"

A cold light poured out of Qi Changjin's eyes: "Yingchu was tied to a torture rack and was unconscious, how dare you wrong her for having something to do with spies?!"

"Who knows if she's playing tricks!" Qi Zhou snorted, "Hua Yingchu has always been scheming and used to put on airs!"

Emperor Ming raised his hand, stopped their argument, and said, "Hua Yingchu, tell me."

Yingchu had been relying on the support of the servant girl to stand still. When Emperor Ming asked him a question, he forced himself to stand upright and said, "At that time, the minister... the minister was sitting in the room, and suddenly a gangster broke in and knocked the minister unconscious. When the concubine wakes up, she has already been rescued."

Li Cangze, who was scolded as a "gangster", looked tense and dared not speak out.

"So, you don't know anything?" Emperor Ming asked.

Yingchu nodded: "Yes."

Li Cangze was slightly surprised, he thought Hua Yingchu would take the opportunity to make up something against him, but she didn't say anything?

Not only did he not feel relieved, but he became more vigilant. He didn't believe that there would be no conspiracy after she had spent so much time and effort.

"Wake him up." Emperor Ming motioned to wake up the man in gray on the ground.

A basin of water was poured, and the man in gray immediately woke up. Before he opened his eyes, he subconsciously wanted to struggle. The rope on his body was tied in a special way. The more he struggled, the tighter the tie became. Moved.

Tang Zhongchen took two steps forward, shouted at the man in gray and asked, "What Mrs. Hua said, can you plead guilty? Why did you kidnap Mrs. Hua to the secret room? Was it by accident or on purpose? Who is the mastermind behind you?" ?”

The man in gray hung his head and said nothing, as if refusing to confess.

Qi Changsheng was so anxious that he wanted to go up and kick him a few times: "Say it quickly, I don't know you at all!"

"Shut up!" Tang Zhongchen's tone was unceremonious, "If you say more, you will be colluding with spies, and you will be punished severely!"

Qi Changsheng didn't dare to argue with the big celebrity in front of the Holy Master, and he could only admit it when he was scolded.

Tang Zhongchen asked again, but the man in gray remained silent.

"Stubborn!" Tang Zhongchen said, "Come here, take him down for execution!"

Li Cangze was not worried that this confidant would confess himself, he had been trained like a dead man, no matter how sophisticated Tang Zhongchen was, he couldn't pry his mouth away.

Sure enough, after a long time, Tang Zhongchen came back in defeat, saying: "Your Majesty, the humble minister is incompetent, and the spy refuses to confess."

Emperor Ming frowned.

"Even if the spies don't confess, this matter is very obvious," Cheng Ge said, "The spies hijack a person, and they can hide in the secret room without disturbing anyone. It is obvious that they have something to do with Qi Changsheng! He has been with Qi Chang Jin can't make it through, today is deliberately sabotaging Qi Changjin's wedding, and trying to plot his life!"

If the real military map is lost, even if Qi Changjin does not lose his life, he will not escape the crime.

"You spitting blood!" Qi Chang's angry forehead bulged with veins.

However, everyone's expressions seemed to be half-believed, and they only blamed him for his bad behavior. Everyone didn't think it was strange to do such a thing.

Madam Xun suddenly said, "Your Majesty, we just found a girl in the West Courtyard. We only found Mrs. Hua because of her reminder. Maybe she knows something."

Emperor Ming said: "Bring me here."

After a while, the girl was sent over. She changed into neat clothes, which made her look even more beautiful. The simplicity and cleanliness from the folks made people's eyes shine.

Seeing so many dignitaries and dignitaries, the girl didn't know where to put her cramped hands and feet, she hesitated and frightened like a deer strayed into a lion's pride.

Tang Zhongchen was born in the common people, and he had a good impression of the girl first, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "You don't have to be afraid, we just ask you a few questions, and you just answer them truthfully."

The girl nodded timidly.

"Have you seen Hua Shi before?" He pointed to Hua Yingchu.

The girl recognized the bright red wedding dress on Yingchu, and nodded again.

"Where did you see it?" Tang Zhongchen asked.

"I don't know where it is. There are walls on all sides, and there are only small windows in the high places." The girl said.

Both Qi Changsheng and the Qi Zhou family knew that she was talking about the remodeled wing, where Qi Changsheng specially imprisoned disobedient women, but when everyone heard it, they thought it was a secret room.

"What else did you see?"

"This elder sister was unconscious, and a man in gray clothes was rummaging through things," the girl said. "Later, I was afraid, so I didn't dare to look at it."

Qi Changsheng shouted happily as if hearing the sound of heaven: "Did you hear that! That spy ran into my yard to search for things. He must have found the switch of the secret room before he broke in. It has nothing to do with me." !"
