After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 85 Hard work

"Missing?" Ye Qinghuai asked blurtly.

Li Wenqing's expression darkened and he said, "According to the Gyeonggi Cavalry Guards, he escaped from prison during the arrest and interrogation."

"Escape from prison?" Ye Qinghuai sneered, it was really ridiculous, "A fourteen-year-old girl escaped from prison?"

Li Wenqing remained silent. He was a criminal officer and could not speak without evidence.

Ye Qinghuai knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he simply didn't ask any more questions, but his expression became more and more gloomy.

"Who is in charge of this case in Jingzhao Mansion now?"

"This case involves a third-rank official of the imperial court and has great influence in Beijing, so it will be tried personally by the governor of Jingzhao."

Speaking of Jiang Qiancheng, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered his figure leading the government servants to help evacuate the wounded in front of Chengtian Gate.

"Is Jiang Qiancheng's trial fair?"

Li Wenqing considered the wording and said: "Wei Chen thinks it is fair." He paused and continued to explain, "The Ministry of Punishment once proposed that the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture was a third-rank official, and the trial of Gu Haiwang, a third-rank official, was a leapfrog trial. If it does not comply with regulations, the case should be raised to a higher level and transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial."

Ye Qinghuai listened quietly and analyzed the situation silently in his heart.

From this point of view, the governor of Jingzhao may not be Gu Shihai's person, at least he is not absolutely leading Gu Shihai.

"The Ministry of Punishment has put pressure on Jingzhao Mansion several times, but Chiang Mansion Yin has not relented."

This was beyond Ye Qinghuai's expectation. Gu Shihai was tough and Jiang Qiancheng dared to detain his eldest son and not let him go. I am afraid that few people in Shengjing would dare to confront Gu Shihai so blatantly.

"Is he so tough-tempered?" Ye Qinghuai asked with a smile, with unspeakable admiration in his eyes.

"He said that this case was ordered by His Majesty to be tried by the Jingzhao Mansion. It was handled on a special basis and should not follow regulations."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said: "This case must not be handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Li Qing, you are supervising the trial of this case, and you must not let go."

"Wei Chen accepts the decree."

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while and then said: "Li Qing, during your supervision of the trial, keep a copy of all relevant case files and confessions and submit them to me secretly."

Li Wenqing raised his head and saw the unfathomable light reflected in the emperor's slightly lowered eyes.

He suddenly felt that the emperor seemed different from the emperor he saw last time in the Qinxian Palace.

Li Wenqing lowered his head, cupped his hands and saluted, "I understand."

——

It was already afternoon when Li Wenqing left, and Ye Qinghuai had lunch just then.

She didn't take a few bites before she stopped using her chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, do you think the food is not to your liking?" Aunt Fanghua asked from the side.

Her left hand was still bandaged, which made it a little inconvenient to eat. Aunt Fanghua stood beside her with an empty bowl and helped her pick up the food.

Ye Qinghuai shook his head, showed a helpless smile, and said: "I'm afraid that whatever delicacies are put in front of me now are tasteless."

Aunt Fanghua looked at her uneasy brows and asked, "Is your Majesty worried?"

Ye Qinghuai let out a long sigh, looked at the bright sunshine in the courtyard of Jingshou Palace with some ecstasy, and said with emotion: "Aunt, I met two people this morning. One is loyal and brave but has no plans, and the other is smart but afraid of death. I'm thinking, it would be great if the two of them could become one person."

Aunt Fanghua laughed when she heard this and said: "What if the two of them merge into one and become a person who has no plans and is afraid of death?"

Ye Qinghuai raised his head and looked at Aunt Fanghua seriously, thought for a long time, and said: "That makes sense, I didn't expect this."

Aunt Fanghua smiled kindly at her and said, "Your Majesty, everything in this world can never go as planned. No one is perfect."

After saying that, Aunt Fanghua filled a bowl of soup for her, placed it gently in front of her, and said, "But isn't it Mr. Lu that the loyal, courageous, and far-sighted person your Majesty mentioned?"

Ye Qinghuai was drinking soup. When he heard Aunt Fanghua talking about Lu Yanchen, he quickly swallowed it, raised his head and asked, "How is he? Is he awake?"

"I heard from Dr. Zhou that he woke up once in the morning, but fell asleep again."

"Is Grandpa Zhou still there?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Aunt Fanghua nodded and said with a smile: "I will guard Mr. Lu every step of the way."

Ye Qinghuai felt relieved and pretended to be distressed: "Grandpa Zhou has done a great job this time. Auntie, what do you think I should reward him for?"

Aunt Fanghua looked at Ye Qinghuai's hanging left shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, follow the doctor's advice and get well soon. It will be better than anything else for Dr. Zhou."

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while, then immediately picked up the bowl of bone soup and drank it. After finishing the drink, she said: "Then I should eat more. Auntie, give me another bowl!"

Hearing Ye Qinghuai's appetite, Aunt Fanghua's eyes brightened and she immediately served her another large bowl of soup.

After a while, before Ye Qinghuai finished the second bowl of soup, Li Baoquan came back.

Ye Qinghuai immediately put down the soup in his hand and asked Li Baoquan: "Is it going well?"

Li Baoquan had a slight sweat on his face, as if he had run in a hurry when he came back. He wiped the sweat with the corner of his sleeve and said, "Returning to the master, there were some twists and turns, but in the end there was no danger."

"Tell me more about it."

"Some people in the Youya Guards were dissatisfied with the imperial edict and said that they would only recognize General Chu as the Military Guard General after seeing the transfer order from the Commander of the Forbidden Army. However, there were also many people who recognized General Chu. The two sides quarreled first, and then started fighting. Okay.

General Chu was very skilled, even though he was injured, he easily took down the school captain who was leading the trouble on the opposite side, and finally stabilized the situation and successfully became the general of the military guard."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and asked a seemingly insignificant question: "Where is Xu Liang's body?"

Li Baoquan was stunned for a moment and replied: "He has not yet been convicted of treason. His body should still be kept in the guardhouse."

"You can make another trip later and send a message to Chu Dingguo, asking him to go to the guardhouse tonight to pay homage to Xu Liang when he has less people. He should pay homage to Xu Liang like a dead brother, but don't let anyone

You know, go secretly by yourself."

Li Baoquan was confused and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, General Chu and Xu Liang are not familiar with each other."

Ye Qinghuai ignored him and continued: "After you bring the words, ask the little eunuch under you to keep an eye on him and find someone who is smart and will not be discovered. When you see him going to the guardhouse, he will be on the right

People near the Yamen Office were discussing the whereabouts of Chu Dingguo, and led the right-hand Yamen guards to the guardhouse, so that they 'happened' to bump into Chu Dingguo who was paying homage to Xu Liang at the guardhouse."

Li Baoquan suddenly understood what the emperor meant.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty has really taken great pains for General Chu."

Ye Qinghuai sighed and said, "If he was half as smart as you, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

But then he would not be the Chu Dingguo he is now. Ye Qinghuai said in his heart.
