After being given to death by his fiancee [rebirth]

"The imperial decree is from me to Seventh Sister, to thoroughly investigate Qiu Wei's fraud." Wei Hong's voice became louder, and he grabbed the handrail and looked directly at Xu Nanzhao.

Xu Nanzhao pursed his lips, "Cheat...is what His Royal Highness said true?"

"You'll know once you check." Wei Xi clenched the imperial decree in his hand.

Xu Nanzhao stared at Wei Hong for a while, the young emperor was sweating all over his back, but he still resisted silently under Xu Ningzhi's encouragement.

"Then let's check." Xu Nanzhao flung his sleeves and left.

The moment he turned around, Wei Hong's shoulders slumped.

Xu Ningzhi bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, rest."

"Auntie..." Wei Hong thought about it.

Xu Ningzhi took Wei Xi's hand, "Take care of yourself."

"Yes, I will."

Wei Hong didn't go down after all, he just watched them leave.

As soon as he left the imperial city, Wei Xi couldn't wait to arrest Guo Jianshan, but Xu Ningzhi disliked him for not being prudent.

"Is it better to be sooner rather than later? Xu Nanzhao knows it all, and now is the right time." Wei Xi was eager to try.

"But I'm so tired." Xu Ningzhi rubbed his eyes, a little depressed.

Wei Xi let go, "Then you go back."

Sighing heavily, Xu Ningzhi grabbed her knuckles, "Is this all you need to take me back?"

"It's not like you can't go back yourself." Wei Xi was confused.

Xu Ningzhi endured it, "Is it difficult to send me back?"

"Guo Mansion and our house are in two directions." Wei Xi pulled the horse's rein and stuffed it into Xu Ning's hand, "I taught you before, be careful."

Xu Ningzhi dropped the rein and walked back in silence.

"Xu Ningzhi..." Wei Xi called her, but didn't move.

Seeing that she shouldn't, Wei Xi got on the horse, "Then I don't care about you."

Xu Ningzhi closed his eyes and didn't look back.

In less than two breaths, a red-brown horse stopped in front of him, circling a bit awkwardly, "May I take you to Gu Qin's place?"

Just as Xu Ningzhi was about to speak, he was lifted onto the horse's back and sat on the soft saddle by Wei Xi, "Wei Hong killed the king and father, why are you so nice to him?"

Also because he was so depressed.

"He didn't want to either." Xu Ningzhi shrank into her arms.

Wei Xi lowered his head, "You mean he didn't know there was arsenic in the porridge?"

"He doesn't know." Xu Ningzhi lightly sniffed her breath.

Wei Xi frowned, "Even if he didn't know, so what, but he still fed it. If it were someone else, Father might not eat it at all."

"But he doesn't know."

Wei Xi said coldly, "But if he did it, he is guilty."

The person in his arms didn't reply to her anymore, Wei Xi just felt baffled, how could Xu Ningzhi think this way, it wasn't her father who dared to die in love.

Wei Hong didn't know, neither did Concubine Yungui, but both of them were executioners, otherwise Wei Tao wouldn't be restrained by Xu Nanzhao.

The two were silent all the way, and when they arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wei Xi wanted Xu Ningzhi to rest here, but Xu Ningzhi said that he was not tired, and went directly to Gu Qin to get the arrest warrant.

Gu Qin was very interested, and led a group of arresters to capture the examiners of the Qiuwei and the candidates of the Zhongju. They encountered some obstacles when catching the candidates, but the examiners were very cooperative. Xu Nanzhao had notified in advance.

More than 100 people were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Wei Xi led people to search Guo Jianshan's mansion, but found nothing useful. This Guo Jianshan has a good reputation and has always been a clean official.

It's about the imperial examination, so it's a big deal.

Wei Xi handed over the collected evidence, and the entire criminal department began to interrogate the prisoners busily. Gu Qin personally interrogated the twenty or so Juren who were suspected of cheating.

They were taken to the same cell, and the already cramped cell became more and more untenable, and a group of people were also driven into a corner, shoulder to shoulder, which was extremely pitiful.

Gu Qin reclined on the grand teacher's chair, slightly raising her chin.

A group of people whispered to each other, but Gu Qin was not angry, just smiling.

The man who made the 'goose goose goose' was bold and bluffed: "Do you know who this young master is? How dare you take me!"

Gu Qin asked with a smile, "Do you know who I am?"

"You? Aren't you just a petty official?" The Juren said disdainfully.

Gu Qin tapped the armrest with her fingertips, "It seems that you don't know me, just right, I'll let you know me today."

The lifter pointed at her, "Try to touch me!"

"Just try it." Gu Qin shrugged, stood up slowly, and took out the iron palm from the scorching coals.

The Juren swallowed, and then stiffened his neck, "But that's it, isn't there anything new?"

"Don't worry." Gu Qin smiled, ordered the guards to hold him down, and waved the red-hot iron palm in front of his eyes, "I'll ask you first, do you want to recruit?"

The man gritted his teeth.

"I knew it." Gu Qin was a little happy, holding the long heat-insulated handle of the iron palm, and pressing it directly to his crotch.

In an instant, screams resounded through the sky.

The burning smell permeated the cell, and Gu Qin clicked his tongue, "It seems useless."

The lifter kicked and twitched all over his body, Gu Qin stood up slowly, threw the iron palm to the ground, looked at the four or five female lifters who slipped through the net, and showed a friendly smile.

Wei Xi outside fanned the wind, feeling a little disgusted.

"These people can't hold on." Xu Ningzhi shook his head. They are all young ladies from aristocratic families. Even if they are convicted of cheating, they will be exiled at most. But if they stay in this prison and let Gu Qin do whatever they want, they will be tortured alive risk of death.

"That's not right." Wei Xi held her nose and pulled her away, "I'm afraid that Guo Jianshan will not admit it, and Xu Nanzhao is in power, and it will be difficult to convict a felony."

Xu Ningzhi chuckled, "There must be more than these people. Scholars are stubborn. It's easy to incite trouble. If it becomes a big problem, it won't work if you don't deal with it."

Master Shaoguo doubted that Xu Nanzhao could not cover the sky with one hand.

As long as the water is mixed, the natural fish and dragons will be mixed.

"That's right." Wei Xi finally led her out of the prison, sniffed at a strand of her hair, "But it's best to re-judgment the test paper, then it's a certainty."

Xu Ningzhi nodded, "How long will Master Lu arrive?"

"Just these two days, I asked Sister Rong to pick it up in person."

Xu Ningzhi rolled his eyes and hummed a little coldly.

"Careful." Wei Xi muttered.

Xu Ningzhi turned his head to pinch her ears, "What did you say?"

"You are narrow-minded." Wei Xi dodged in time.

Xu Ningzhi stared at her, seeing that the golden peas were about to drop again.

"Ancestor... I was wrong, can't I be wrong?" Wei Xi was very helpless, and took the initiative to put his ear close to him.

Xu Ningzhi's teardrops rolled back and forth in his eyes, he grabbed her earlobe and bit her, "Little bastard."

"It hurts." Wei Xi gritted his teeth.

Xu Ningzhi lowered his head and kicked the stone, "Who told you to always mess with me?"

"It's unreasonable, I apologized to you, and even let you take a bite..." Wei Xi complained dissatisfied.

Xu Ningzhi stared, "Why, do you have an opinion?"

"Of course...no comment."
