Wu Shouze looked dignified, stood in front of the door in silence for a moment, and asked the subordinate who came to report: "Who is the leader?"

"Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Wang Che."

Wu Shouze's expression softened a little, Tang Ke went through it in his mind, and confirmed that Wang Che did not appear in the list they discussed just now.

After thinking for a while, Wu Shouze ordered his subordinates to drag the people from the Ministry of Punishment for a while, while he dragged Tang Ke back to the investigation room and locked the door.

Wu Shouze moved the charcoal basin to the table from the corner, looked at Tang Ke, "help me burn all the materials on the table."

Tang Ke froze for a moment, nodded quickly, and helped Wu Shouze burn the materials together.

The two stood in front of the blazing fire, watching the documents that had been carefully discussed a moment ago turn into ashes in an instant.

Wu Shouze took a deep breath, and stuffed the private seal and the previously prepared memorial into Tang Ke's hands, "If I can't pass this test, I hope that Mr. Tang can hand over the judgment result to His Majesty for me."

Tang Ke put away the private seal and memorial, bowed his hands, and solemnly promised: "I will do my best."

Wu Shouze held Tang Ke's hands, "I will lead you to leave through the back door."

As soon as the two walked out of the investigation room, a row of crossbowmen rushed up and surrounded them layer by layer.

The leader looked at Wu Shouze, "Master Wu, we have received a secret report accusing you of participating in a rebellion. The evidence is convincing. Please follow me back to the Yamen to cooperate with the investigation."

Tang Ke roughly estimated the number of people on the opposite side and the firepower situation. He expected that if he single-handedly broke through the encirclement at this time, it would not be a big problem, so he slowly took half a step forward.

Sensing Tang Ke's movement, Wu Shouze pulled his arm very slightly. Tang Ke turned his head and saw Wu Shouze shaking his head slightly at him.

"Lord Wang, I can go with you, but can you tell me the identity of the informer?" Wu Shouze asked in a deep voice.

Wang Che smiled: "Master Wu, I think you should know better than me what a secret report is."

Wu Shouze said again: "Without the holy order, you have no right to arrest me."

Wang Che nodded calmly, took out a bright yellow document from his lapel, and handed it to Wu Shouze: "Master Wu, take a look."

Wu Shouze poked his head over to read it carefully, his brows drooped, "I want to see Mr. Gu."

Wang Che nodded: "Naturally, I am not qualified to interrogate you. You follow me back. Mr. Gu is already waiting for you at the Ministry of Punishment."

Wu Shouze had nothing to refute, so he just said hello and walked straight forward.

"Wait a minute," Wang Che looked at Tang Ke who was standing still, "Sir, please come back with us."

Panic flashed in Wu Shouze's eyes, "He is not mine, and you have no right to arrest him."

Wang Che saw the panic in his eyes, and smiled, "He came out of the investigation room with you, so he is suspected. Please go back together and prove your innocence. If he is really innocent, I will release him."

Tang Ke held the sword at his waist with one hand and looked at Wang Che calmly.

Wang Che glanced at Tang Ke's hand holding the sword, felt the thick murderous aura emanating from his body, then looked at his black mask, and said slowly, "You are... that Mr. Xiao Ke?"

Tang Ke stared straight at Wang Che, still ready to attack at any time, and did not answer.

Wang Che smiled, "Mr. Xiaoke, my Ministry of Criminal Justice has no less knowledge of your background than Dali Temple. With your martial arts, it must be easy to break through my bow|crossbowman and escape at this moment."

"But please think twice, sir."

"Where is your current hiding place and who lives in it? I know exactly where you are. If you leave rashly now, Mr. Wang will have to lead someone to search your house. It must have alarmed the big man inside." What Mr. Xiao Ke wishes to see."

Tang Ke's fingers holding the sword tightened, thinking that Wang Che's methods are powerful. He knew very well what Tang Ke was most afraid of, so he precisely grasped this weakness, "Are you threatening me?"

Wang Qi smiled: "Wang is not threatening you, but just explaining the truth and consequences to you clearly."

As he said, he raised his hand and ordered the soldiers behind him to put away their weapons and retreat to the sides to make way for Tang Ke, "My subordinates on the left and right can't stop you, so I will let you out of the way. How should you choose? Judge for yourself."

Tang Ke paused, and looked at Wu Shouze beside him, who slowly shook his head.

Wang Che laughed again, "Mr. Xiao Ke, I don't care about what Mr. Wu talked with you in the investigation room for now, but Wang wants to remind Mr. Xiao Ke that now that the weather is about to change, everyone's position Whether it is as simple as it seems on the surface, I hope Mr. Xiao Ke will carefully consider it."

"Since my office can openly come here to arrest Master Wu and bring him to justice at this time, it means that we have conclusive evidence. How long have Mr. Xiao Ke known Mr. Wu? Who is Master Wu relying on? Do you believe it?"

Wu Shouze glared at Wang Che angrily, and shouted loudly: "Wang Che, don't use this method of sowing discord! I, Wu Shouze, act frankly and have a clear conscience. I have always been loyal to His Majesty only."

Wang Che nodded calmly: "Who is Mr. Wu loyal to? If you go back with me to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation, you will know yourself." He then looked at Tang Ke, "I just advise Mr. Xiao Ke, follow me back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, we will treat both of you with respect." It's the safest choice."

Wu Shouze stared at Tang Ke closely.

Tang Ke no longer looked at Wu Shouze, but only fixedly looked at Wang Che.

Tang Ke thought that Wang Che must have made his choice clear when he threatened Zhu Wenzhen, so he smiled calmly at this moment, waiting for Tang Ke to nod.

If there is nothing wrong with Wu Shouze, judging from the information he gave Tang Ke in the investigation room just now, Gu Ting, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Wang Che, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, are not the prince's people, and their backgrounds are fairly clean.

If Wu Shouze really belonged to the prince, his opposition to Gu Ting and Wang Che would actually show that the Ministry of Punishment is clean.

Unless Wu Shouze and Wang Che are acting together to deceive him at this time.

But there was no reason for the two of them to act together for him at this time. Without Wang Che, Tang Ke had already completely trusted Wu Shouze just now, so why bother.

After thinking about it like this, Tang Ke finally compromised and nodded to Wang Che, "Okay, I'll go to the Ministry of Punishment with you."

Wang Che laughed and said that Mr. Xiao Ke was a smart man, and then politely led the two back to the Criminal Department, handcuffed both hands and feet in a kind manner, and threw them into the prison.

Tang Ke sat on the ground, flicked his hands on the chain, and made a crisp sound of metal colliding, "Master Wang, your company's hospitality is very special."

Wang Che was about to lead Wu Shouze to see Gu Ting at this time, when he heard Tang Ke's words, he turned his head and smiled at him, "In this special period, where is your kung fu, I have no choice but to be more prepared, Xiao Ke Be patient, sir."

Tang Ke raised the chain to his eyes and studied it carefully, but ignored Wang Che.

Wang Che shook his head and thought to himself: "Wang will take Mr. Wu to see Mr. Gu first, and then immediately arrange for Mr. Xiao Ke to meet Mr. Gu. Mr. Xiao Ke will rest here for a while." Holding Wu Shouze, he went out up.

After the few people left, Tang Ke sat alone on the floor of the cell, looking for a blind spot, and carefully read the memorial that Wu Shouze gave him. It was just a summary of the materials discussed by the two in the investigation room in written form. Came out without any abnormality.

When Wu Shouze was sent back to the cell, his complexion was worse than when he left.

He sat down next to Tang Ke, regardless of his own status, first greeted Gu Ting and Wang Che's ancestors loudly, and then said angrily: "I thought it would be a little bit difficult for someone surnamed Gu to be able to sit in this seat." Ability, I didn't expect to be so stupid to be led by the nose at will, without even the slightest judgment of my own! Idiot! Trash!"

Tang Ke stared at Wu Shouze, "What did Master Gu say?"

Wu Shouze sneered, "Guess what charges he is planning to charge me with? He suspects that I secretly assisted King Jing in his rebellion!"

"Hahaha, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! If he suspects that I'm assisting the crown prince's rebellion, I'd rather explain it to him and assist Lord Jing in his rebellion? The person who is the least likely to rebel in the whole world is probably Prince Jing. Ting Danfan has the slightest brain, so he shouldn't be so gullible in rumors and arrest you and me!"

As Wu Shouze said, he glanced at Tang Ke and found that his face was dark, "What's wrong?"

Tang Ke: "Xiang'er is in danger, I have to go out and save him!"
