Lost Charm

Chapter 35 The Ministry of Punishment

When the Ministry of Punishment heard that Xu Qin was coming, they were all gearing up, with a great deal of exhalation and eyebrows raised.But their excitement could only last until the moment Xu Qin appeared, because the person standing next to him was not someone else but Eunuch Shen.

He has been in the officialdom for many years, and when he heard that Eunuch Shen was coming, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment screamed that something was wrong. He put down his official documents and went out to greet Xu Qin, so he had to stop by to meet Xu Qin. The officials of the Ministry of Punishment looked at each other. What kind of game is this?

Originally planning to "entertain" Xu Qin, he stopped immediately and waited and watched.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment gave Xu Qin a headache, thinking of what Eunuch Shen hinted before he left, he thought that the emperor was going to support the Ministry of Punishment this time, but it didn't look like it.However, the person had already been sent, so he couldn't ignore it, so he ordered Xu Qin to be imprisoned first, and privately told his subordinates: don't touch the embroidered clothes first.

The hot potato Xu Qin didn't know that he had escaped a catastrophe, and since he entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he has tightened his lips, just because he was worried that any emotional expression of his would become a target.This expressionless look, in the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, is a constant response to all changes, and he thought to himself, no wonder this male favorite can succeed in the position, just this attitude already has the shadow of embroidered clothes.

The prison here is obviously filthy, with no windows, poor ventilation, not to mention the lingering stench of excrement. Compared to the prison in Nanzhen Fusi, it is a paradise.Xu Qin didn't express any opinion on this, walked silently to his cell, looked around, it's good, at least the room didn't leak water and provided night food, it's not difficult to accept the smell in the air as the smell of chicken manure up.

Seeing that Xu Qin was lying on the bed comfortably, the jailer didn't mind the harsh environment at all, which was very different from the usual ones, and was about to show some color, but thinking of the orders from his superiors, he could only leave unwillingly.

Xu Qin heard the guard's dissatisfaction, but he ignored it, and closed his eyes to buy time to rest. He didn't know what would be waiting for him next.

Although torture cannot be used, the jailer always has a way to show off his power, so Xu Qin didn't even have a steamed bun at dinner time.Xu Qin was a little guilty at the time, thinking that the other party had found the two meat buns in his arms—Eunuch Shen had taken him to buy them after a long detour.The jailer didn't miss the change of expression on Xu Qin's face. He thought he was overwhelmed, so he hummed a little tune with his nostrils upturned, and walked past Xu Qin in a grandiose manner.

Seeing that the jailer had left, Xu Qincai secretly took out a meat bun and took a bite. Well, there was chicken in it. Although it was cold, the taste was passable.The prison cell at night is still so uncomfortable. After Xu Qin finished eating the buns, he rubbed his stomach contentedly. Thinking that no one would come to him at this late hour, he was about to take off his coat and go to sleep. Unexpectedly, there was a burst of footsteps at this time Finally, it stopped in front of Xu Qin's cell.

Thinking that the Ministry of Punishment had finally struck, Xu Qinli got out of bed and prepared to fight, but when he raised his eyes, the man standing outside the fence turned out to be a man with a broad waist and a thick back, with sword eyebrows, star eyes, straight nose and cheeks, Although the clothes are low-key, they can't hide the extravagance of the whole body.Behind the man is a handsome white youth, not tall, but exuding the same aura as Eunuch Shen.

Xu Qin immediately realized that this person was an eunuch.

"Bold! Don't kneel down when you see the prince!" Seeing that Xu Qin didn't respond, the eunuch couldn't help but yelled.

I remember that Yu Chijiong followed him, there is only one prince in the capital, and that is Zhao Wang Liang Youpei who is in the cabinet.Xu Qin was taken aback, he didn't understand why King Zhao came to him, but even so he still had to salute.

"Humble position Xu Qin, see King Zhao."

King Zhao smiled lightly, and said: "This is a private visit, Xu Zongqi doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly."

"Thank you, King Zhao." Xu Qin didn't dare to take his words seriously. Even when he stood up, he lowered his eyes, not daring to look at King Zhao.

"Sure enough, he is a stable one." Zhao Wang glanced at Xu Qin with satisfaction, and it seemed that the other party's neither humble nor overbearing attitude won his favor.

"I don't dare to take a humble position."

"Gu will not go around in circles with you, Mr. Xu, you also know who made this situation. If you follow Gu, Gu guarantees that you can go out immediately." Zhao Wangzi opened his fan freely, as if what he said was wrong What amazing words, but a poem.

Xu Qin was not so at ease, the matter of Chi Dashi made him understand how dark the officialdom was, and a good-natured prince would try to win him over in private, he didn't think the matter was simple.

"You are just a general banner in the Underworld. Everyone knows that you are Yuchi Qianhu's male favorite. Are you willing?" Seeing that Xu Qin didn't speak, Zhao Wang added another fire.

"Back to King Zhao, a lowly position is just the general banner, and it really can't get into the eyes of the prince." Xu Qin knew that it would be miserable if he didn't speak, so he bit the bullet and delayed it for a while.Xu Qin was not surprised that Zhao Wang was able to say the words Ming Zhongsuo. After all, as the brother of the Son of Heaven, it was normal for the other party to know something.

"Gu Ken came here alone, which means that Gu doesn't care about the position. Xu Zongqi, I just want you to say something, are you willing or not?"

Xu Qin secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Wang say "I don't mind the level of the position". He was worried that the other party wanted to win because of him, but now it seems that he just took the opportunity to insert his hand into the underworld.Except for the emperor and the national teacher, other people in the underworld have heard of it, but they don't know what kind of organization it is. The new members of the extremely mysterious organization were arrested alone.

"Xiaozhi is grateful for the great love of King Zhao, but I have already sworn obeisance to Yuchi Qianhu, even if he bears the stigma... he doesn't take it to heart." Xu Qin had no choice but to borrow Yuchijiong's words to deal with Shen Gonggong.

Zhao Wang's eyes turned cold, even if Xu Qin didn't look up, he could still feel the cold eyes of the other party, almost shooting himself through.However, he can't show weakness. Even if the other party can kill him without blinking, showing weakness is tantamount to taking refuge in King Zhao and betraying Yuchijiong. He is very clear about his sworn brother, and the most he can't tolerate is outsiders interfering with Beizhen Fusi .

After a long time, Zhao Wang finally spoke, and Xu Qin seemed to let Xu Qin go.

"It seems that Gu came a step too late. Anyway, Mr. Xu, Gu heard that the sworn brothers of the underworld are not ordinary sworn brothers, do you know?"

The expression on Xu Qin's face did not change, he still had that respectful look, and said: "The humble job knows."

"You actually know?" Zhao Wang showed a smile that was not a smile, and said, "I'm afraid Yuchi Qianhu made an appointment with you in private, right? If his master knew, how could he allow you to exist?"

"I don't understand the meaning of King Zhao." This man actually knew Qu Moao, it seems that he is also keeping a close eye on the underworld.

"You met Gu once, and Gu will tell you a secret story... Yuchi Qianhu didn't have the fate of his wife and Chongyang that the underworld asked. It was the national teacher and his master who forced him to leave." The corners of King Zhao's mouth twitched uncontrollably. With a good-hearted smile, he continued: "The reason why Master Chi put his life on the line and wanted to recognize him is also the reason. You didn't see his master taking care of him. You just wanted to raise him and marry him. Such a person Will you be allowed to sworn obeisance to Yuchi Qianhu?"

This Zhao Wang's speech really turned black and white too much, it was Qu Moao who pushed him, but this person said that he had evil intentions.If Xu Qin was an ordinary person, he would have snorted and ignored it long ago, but unfortunately he still has to say now: "The humble official believes in Yuchi Qianhu, and he also believes in his master."

"Don't speak so harshly, Mr. Xu. Gu cherishes talents. When Xu Zongqi sees his master's true eyes, he must remember that Gu will always have Xu Zongqi's place."

Zhao Wang laughed, ignored Xu Qin's answer, and walked away.

Xu Qin's eyes gradually turned cold, and he unconsciously caressed the Buddhist beads on his wrist. If possible, he really wanted to slap him to death.

The next day, Master Chi, with eyes full of red silk, made a statement at the court, requesting that Wei Jian's case be changed to a joint trial of the three divisions.

"That's a very good remark. Do as Aiqing says."

Madam Chi's heart sank, it seemed that he had made the right bet.He sat up all night without sleep, repeatedly speculating on the holy will, and came to the conclusion that the emperor wanted to beat all the officials with this matter.It's not that he doesn't know that Baiguan is afraid of embroidered clothes, and at the same time looks down on embroidered clothes.Especially Yu Chijiong, who almost offended everyone in the court. It was his own son all over the place. This can overwhelm the embroidered garment.So the emperor directly sent the embroidered clothes to the Ministry of Punishment—do you think you are very good, I will give you an embroidered clothes now, do you dare to do it?

In this case, it would not be enough to beat a criminal department, and if Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were involved, all officials would know that something was wrong no matter how dull they were.

In Beizhen Fusi, Yu Chijiong heard the news, and immediately sprayed Qian Jiguang with tea.

"Two days later, the three divisions will be interrogated. Is this crazy?"

"Of course you're crazy, otherwise why are you spouting tea?" Qian Jiguang said unhappily. He was injured, but when he heard that Xu Qin was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he couldn't sit still anymore and insisted on coming to Beizhen Fu. manage.With tea all over his face, he casually took the veil handed over to wipe his face, only to find out that it was Meng Yingming's after wiping.

Meng Yingming pretended not to see Qian Jiguang's stiffness, looked around at the people in the room, and said expressionlessly, "What are you doing in my room all day? You want to discuss something and go back to the Underworld."

"That's because Xiao Mingming didn't come to the Underworld, so we had to come." He Tong winked at Meng Yingming.

Meng Yingming turned his head to the side, refusing to accept He Fuqianhu's winking eyes, and said to Yuchijiong, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Yu Chijiong rubbed his chin, and said, "How about the joint trial of the four divisions? Anyway, there are the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Add more Southern Town Fusi, and scare them."

"They're not free." Meng Yingming retorted without even thinking about it. They have already found out that the emperor is pushing hands, so they still have the guts to point fingers?

"I was just joking." Yu Chijiong stopped joking, and his inquiring eyes fell on Meng Yingming, "Don't think I don't know, you were promoted yesterday, what did the emperor tell you?"

Even if they grew up together, Meng Yingming's face immediately darkened when he was told that he was the boss and subordinate, "Are you following me?"

"No, it was I who saw you. Whoever told me to come in behind you to enter the government to see the national teacher, I wouldn't answer even if I called you a few times." He Tongpi smiled and said: "Xiao Mingming, his face is so stinky. Do you have any complaints about my "stalking"?"
