The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

Qiao Gui was dragged roughly all the way, hitting his head several times and having bruises all over his body.

Just as he passed a high threshold, Qiao Gui was dragged and bumped his head against the threshold, getting stuck. The imperial guards thought he was too slow, so they pulled his legs over and broke them.

When he saw Lu Hong, Qiao Gui had a big bump on his head and wounds all over his body. He looked horrible and couldn't even stand up.

But even though he was kneeling on the ground, looking miserable, and seeing Lu Hong riding high on a horse, Qiao Gui did not beg for mercy.

Lu Hong is the emperor's sword. He would not appear here without the emperor's order.

It was obvious that Qiao Gui had been smart all his life, but today he was careless and fell into someone's trap, capsizing in the ditch and falling into failure.

It is useless to beg for mercy from Lu Hong at this time. Lu Hong only listens to the emperor. Now the only one who can save Qiao Gui is the emperor.

As long as he can see the emperor, Qiao Gui will have a chance to turn the tables. He hasn't lost yet!

With this belief in mind, Qiao Gui endured the severe pain, propped up half of his body from the ground, and tried to maintain his last dignity, saying:

"Commander Lu, we have something important to discuss and need to see the Emperor!"

Lu Hong got off his horse, pinched Qiao Gui's face and carefully confirmed that this was the real Qiao Gui, not someone else's impersonator. Then he let him go and said to the imperial guard adjutant next to him:

"tie."

After saying this, Lu Hong jumped on his horse and ignored Qiao Gui's words about meeting the emperor. He rode straight to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

An adjutant of the imperial guards tied up Qiao Gui, gagged him with a rag and hung him on a horse, then chased him on horseback, following closely behind Commander Lu.

In the lobby of the Jinyiwei Yamen, Xie Xuan sat with a sword in his arms and his eyes closed in the night. He had been waiting for a long time. When the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, Xie Xuan opened his eyes.

Xie Xuan walked out of the hall and waited in the courtyard. Soon Lu Hong appeared at the gate of the Jinyiwei Yamen on horseback.

The adjutant of the imperial guards pulled Qiao Gui off his horse and threw him into the gate of the Jinyiwei.

The Imperial Guards were responsible for arresting people according to imperial orders, but they were not responsible for interrogation and solving cases. In the Damu Dynasty, there were only three departments responsible for detention, interrogation, and solving cases.

One is in Dongchang, which is Qiao Gui’s territory. Qiao Gui has been rooted in Dongchang for many years, and the remnants are difficult to get rid of. Imprisoning him in Dongchang has no intention of letting the tiger return to the mountains.

One is in the Ministry of Justice. Su Fengyi has not intervened here yet. If Qiao Gui is handed over to someone else and out of her control, there may be more troubles. Su Fengyi is worried.

The last place is the Jinyiwei. Since Xie Xuan became the commander of the Jinyiwei a few months ago and took over the entire Jinyiwei office, he began to carry out a drastic purge.

Today, the Jinyiwei is firmly in the hands of Xie Xuan.

Since Qiao Gui had already entered the gate of the Jinyiwei, no one else, not even the emperor, could take Qiao Gui out alive unless the princess gave the order.

Xie Xuan walked over and, like Lu Hong, pinched Qiao Gui's face, which was swollen like a pig's head, to identify it.

After confirming that it was the real Qiao Gui, Xie Xuan nodded to Lu Hong.

Lu Hong looked at him, Xie Xuan looked back, and the two looked at each other. Without saying a word, they had exchanged opinions and reached a consensus.

I'm handing the person over to you. If anything goes wrong and ruins her plans, I'll kill you.

Leave the person to me, even if I die, there will be no mistake.

Lu Hong took the reins, turned around and rode away.

Although he didn't believe Xie Xuan, since the princess asked him to, he believed it.

After Lu Hong left, the gate of the Jinyiwei Yamen was closed, and at the same time, Qiao Gui's way to survive was also closed.

Xie Xuan led the way personally, and two Jinyiwei followed behind, dragging Qiao Gui. They entered the lowest level of the heavily guarded Jinyiwei prison, opened the door of a cell, and threw Qiao Gui in.

After being dragged and thrown around repeatedly throughout the night, Qiao Gui had already lost half his life.

He lay on the dark, damp and moldy floor of the Jinyiwei prison, looking at Commander Xie who turned around and was about to leave without asking a single question, knowing that this was his last chance.

Qiao Gui buried his face in the filthy floor, wiped the rag from his mouth, and screamed frantically at Xie Xuan's departing back:

"There's something fishy about Queen Xie's death! I want to see the emperor!"

……

Su Fengyi did not sleep all night and read books in the study all night.

At dawn that day, Xie Xuan walked into the study.

Hearing the voice, Su Fengyi, who was reading a book, was so engrossed that he asked without even raising his head:

"Is everything settled?"

If it was anything else, Xie Xuan could make the decision, but when it came to Empress Xie, Xie Xuan did not dare to make his own decision, so he replied:

"Your Highness, Qiao Gui said that there was something fishy about Empress Xie's death, and he would not tell you until he met His Majesty."

Su Fengyi closed the book and sneered:

"So, he is trying to blackmail me by taking advantage of this rare commodity?

Have you found out how many days he kept Miss Xuan in captivity?"

Xie Xuan replied:

"Five days, he died from lack of water and hunger."

Su Fengyi stood up and prepared to go to bed:

"Then we will lock him up for five days. After five days, if he is lucky enough to survive, I will listen to what precious information he has used as a payment for his life.

You must collect the evidence of Qiao Gui's guilt. The evidence must be detailed and true. I, the palace master, will not make up stories or frame others.

Don't blame him for things he didn't commit. List the things he did commit clearly for sure.

This palace will declare that no matter who comes to overturn the verdict in the future, even if it is the emperor himself, don’t even think about vindicating Qiao Gui!”

Su Fengyi asked Xie Xuan to lock up Qiao Gui for five days, and so he really did, without water, food or medicine. He kept him locked up for five days.

During these five days, Lu Hong first arrested Qiao Gui's followers in the palace and second raided Qiao Gui's house outside the palace.

Xie Xuan was arresting Qiao Gui's followers outside the palace and collecting evidence of Qiao Gui's crimes.

Finally, Pei Yu, as the second assistant, summarized Qiao Gui's twenty-eight major crimes and submitted them to the emperor for review.

The emperor opened the memorial with a list of charges, thinking he was prepared. However, when he saw that seven pregnant concubines had been murdered, he was so shocked that he dropped the memorial to the ground.

Pei Yu picked up the memorial and when he stood up, he saw the emperor in a state of dismay, like a wandering soul, with a look of disbelief on his face:

"I was very kind to him, but he actually let me down like this! Seven children, he actually killed all seven of my children!

Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! "

Pei Yu had just submitted the memorial and before he left, Lu Hong presented the list of items confiscated from the Qiao residence to the emperor.

The size of the Qiao Mansion and the amount of gold, silver and treasures it contains are far beyond imagination.

When the emperor saw the "3 million taels of silver, more than 20,000 taels of gold..." seized from Qiao Gui's house, he was so angry that he could not bear it even before he finished reading the thick memorial. He shouted:

"Qiao Gui is a traitor, you are so bold and daring, you have committed ten unforgivable crimes, and you have deceived me to this extent!

Tomorrow, send Qiao Gui to Caishikou and have him executed by slow slicing! Afterwards, chop his body into pieces and feed the dogs!"

……

It is said that a disaster can last for a thousand years, and this is absolutely true for Qiao Gui.

He was imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison with no water, no food, and no medicine. He survived for five days by biting a big rat to death that came to eat him, drinking its blood and eating its meat.

But now, perhaps frightened by his cruelty, even mice dared not hang around Qiao Gui. Qiao Gui was hungry and thirsty, and the wounds all over his body were still swollen, inflamed and smelly. He was so hungry that he felt like his soul was leaving his body.

When he was dying of hunger, Qiao Gui lay on the ground, eating whatever he could find, even gnawing on the wooden bars of the cell to satisfy his hunger.

At this critical moment, he heard footsteps.
