Chapter 652 Return to Northern Desert

There is only one thing, if Liang Shulin is to be believed, then the emperor must want to do something to Xia Lin.

And tonight when Lingli entered the palace to investigate, he sent someone to chase him so nervously. There must be a big secret in it, a secret he is afraid of being known.

what exactly is it?

She couldn't put Linlin in danger.

However, she didn't know how to do it for a while.

"Stand still for now, and enter the palace to greet you as usual. After two days, I will go to Xiwei Palace to see if I can see my mother." Zi'an thought for a while and said.

Although it was a risk, she still chose to trust Liang Shulin once. He said that Linlin was not in danger for the time being. If she was too aggressive, she would miss his situation.

Zian's side is in a state of desperation, and Murong Jie's side is not necessarily relaxed.

In other words, it might not be easy for Qin Zhou.

Before he returned to Beimo, he immediately sent someone to inform Xiao Xiao that he must not retreat and occupy a favorable position.

He then ordered people to pass the document to Prince An quickly, and let him hit Xianbei hard. He promised to win and never lose.

Xiao Xiao thought he could go back to Beijing, but he didn't expect Murong Jie to let him go back the same way, a battle might break out, he was so angry, he planned to go back to see him Zhuangzhuang.

Angry generals, angry soldiers, all the soldiers had calluses on their feet, and finally returned to the original station faster than expected.

Xiao Xiao allocated part of his troops to assist Prince An and Xiao Hou. He reckoned that even if he could fight with Bei Mo, he would still have days to go, because that old fox Chu Jing hadn't destroyed Qin Zhou yet.

Northern desert Kyoto.

Qin Zhou was imprisoned for murdering the empress. The case was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial. With the Ministry of Criminal Justice taking over, Qin Zhou was also moved to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice can be described as an impregnable wall, and it is absolutely impossible to escape from the prison.

After Murong Jie and others returned to Beimo, they stayed in the Chaowen Hall and met King Qi, but King Qi was helpless, "There are witnesses, physical evidence, and the witness is the county king's great-grandmother. Her statement is very credible. .”

Murong Jie asked: "What's the reaction from the Emperor?"

King Qi said: "It's very strange. In the past few days, the emperor hasn't seen this king at all. Not only that, he didn't even go to court in the early morning. Eunuch Liu, who is next to the emperor, said that the emperor fell ill because of the empress' murder. Strictly order the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a thorough investigation as soon as possible and convict General Qin."

"Eunuch Liu?" Murong Jie narrowed his eyes, Master Liu? Chu Jing?

"Yes, it is clear that on the day when the accident happened, the emperor summoned me to find a way to rescue Qin Zhou, but now, some officials are already ready to make a move, saying that they want to abolish Qin Zhou's military status, and only wait for the emperor's approval." Holy decree."

"Qin Zhou's military status cannot be abolished. She is now the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses. If she loses her military status, the military power will fall aside." Murong Jie said.

"This king also knows, but maybe when the emperor will make an order, now this king can't even see the emperor." King Qi was also secretly anxious.

After listening to King Qi's words, Murong Jie could basically infer that the emperor had already been restrained. Chu Jing had been emperor for many years, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, he hadn't been purged. Do not know at all.

There is also an old lady Qin running around for him outside. This old lady Qin is a remarkable person.

I only hope that the emperor can bear it.

Qin Zhou is the king of the county and a general. He holds the military power in his hands, and the people in the court and the public are all watching. Therefore, the Ministry of punishment dare not convict him casually. If he does not convict, the emperor's will will not be carried out.

The only way now is to prove Qin Zhou's innocence, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice cannot interrogate the case independently.

Murong Jie suddenly asked: "Can I see Qin Zhou?"

"No, no one is allowed to enter the prison." King Qi seemed very helpless, as a prince, he was getting more and more confused now.

Seeing Murong Jie pondering deeply, he said: "It's useless to see Qin Zhou, and I'm afraid she has nothing to do."

Murong Jie shook his head, "No, I just want to know Qin Zhou's attitude. Is she thinking of pleading guilty?"

"How is this possible? Unless she really killed the queen, it's just..."

King Qi didn't know what to say, he always felt that Qin Zhou didn't kill the queen.

But if it wasn't Qin Zhou, then the old lady must have killed her. The queen can't stab herself, right?

If Qin Zhou knew that the old lady killed her, and knew that the old lady wanted to frame her, how could he plead guilty?

"Have you read all the confessions of the empresses present?"

King Qi said: "Look, they heard Qin Zhou and the queen quarreling, and the old lady also spoke, but the old lady's voice was relatively low, and they couldn't hear it. hear."

Murong Jie said: "We must meet Qin Zhou, we have no clue now."

"Difficult." King Qi shook his head, "It's not easy to enter the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. There are layers of iron gates, which can almost be said to be iron walls."

A gleam flashed in Murong Jie's eyes, "My lord has been an official in Beijing for many years, but in the Ministry of Punishment, there is no acquaintance?"

King Qi thought for a while, and suddenly his face was ecstatic, "Yes, yes, the prince woke up with a word, and I will run immediately. It is impossible to save Qin Zhou, but he can still do it after meeting."

After speaking, he hurried away.

Su Qing shook his head, "This King Qi, I really don't know whether to call him pitiful or to call him something. After so many years, he doesn't know how to accumulate political capital for himself."

Murong Jie said: "Forget it, it is rare to have someone who understands, even if it is useless, it is better than none."

"Well, now that we're back, should we go find Gao Fengtian? Without him, our activities in Beimo would not be so easy." Xiao Tuo asked.

Murong Jie stretched out his hand and pressed it, "Not busy."

Su Qing saw the clues, "My lord suspects Gao Fengtian?"

"Old Nine's vision is unmistakable. He said that Gao Fengtian is trustworthy, so Gao Fengtian should be trustworthy. However, just because Gao Fengtian is trustworthy does not mean that the people around him are trustworthy. Think about it, since we first entered Beimo In the territory, since seeing Gao Fengtian, Gao Fengtian's people have followed us all the time, even in Muzhai, Gao Fengtian has arranged for people to go in, Gao Fengtian wants to help us with all his strength, but it is easy for caring people to take advantage of the loopholes."

"Then, we don't have many people available in Beimo." Xiao Tuo said.

"There is also Princess An." Murong Jie said.

Xiao Tuo waved his hands, with disgust on his face, "Just those old ladies and maids in the Princess Mansion? Forget it?"

"You, really don't underestimate these nuns and girls. Besides, Princess An is a visionary. Not to mention the secret guards and government soldiers in her hands, just her contacts in these years of activities are enough. It’s not comparable to King Qi or Prince Zhen.”

When Murong Jie mentioned the King of Town, he suddenly smiled, "Maybe, let's go meet the King of Town?"

"Where did you put him?" Su Qing asked.

"It's not the king who arranged it, but the king asked Gao Fengtian to arrange him personally."

"Gao Fengtian won't let the people below do it for him?" Su Qing asked worriedly. Since he suspects the people around Gao Fengtian, if they intervene, I'm afraid the king of the town will be gone.

"No, this king has long been jealous of the people around him, so I specifically told Gao Fengtian to arrange it personally, and he was not allowed to reveal his identity to anyone. Gao Fengtian also knew that this matter was no small matter. After all, Lord Zhen is Ni Wang, he assisted Ni Wang to escape, and if people found out, he would be ashamed."
