After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Ye Qinghuai looked at him with snot and tears, and said, "Explain in plain language."

He raised his head to look at Ye Qinghuai, and cried, "Your Majesty, I really didn't recognize Concubine Lan. I want to know that it is Concubine Lan. Even if I borrow ten of my heads, I can't let you know." They did it to the empress!"

As he spoke, he knelt and turned to the coffin placed in the middle of the hall, kowtowed to Qin Baozhu's coffin and said, "Your Majesty, you can swear to the heavens before the spirit of Concubine Lan!" Then, he raised his right hand and said, "Your Majesty The official really didn't recognize the empress!"

As soon as he raised his hand, half of his sleeve fell down, revealing an arm covered with bruises and cuts, which was shocking.

Ye Qinghuai looked shocked.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai's expression, Liu Chunming quickly rolled up the sleeves of both arms, revealing two bruised arms.

"Your Majesty, General Chu wants to kill the officials! He arrested the officials and tortured them severely, and tried to beat us into tricks! Only the officials escaped, and the officials' colleagues are still being tortured in prison! Please forgive me! "

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed his head again, and the brick surface of the bluestone was knocked muffled by him.

Ye Qinghuai looked at him, her expression changed from startled to angry, she thought about it for a second, and frowned, feeling bad.

"Where are you locked up?" Ye Qinghuai asked anxiously.

Only then did Liu Chunming stop kowtowing, his forehead was already flushed, it seemed that he had kowtowed too hard, he slowed down a bit, and then replied: "Department of Punishment."

"Li Baoquan, take someone to the Punishment Department immediately!" Ye Qinghuai turned around and ordered.

Li Baoquan heard the urgency of the situation from Ye Qinghuai's tone, he called a group of guards at the gate of the palace to leave with him.

Only Ye Qinghuai and Liu Chunming were left in the courtyard of Yichun Palace.

Lang Lang Tomorrow, a cloud of dark clouds drifted past, and the sky suddenly turned overcast. There was a wind in the courtyard, and the white flags in the forest flew up in the wind, like ghosts with teeth and claws.The gentle sound of chanting echoed in the courtyard, but it couldn't calm Ye Qinghuai's mood.

She looked at Liu Chunming who was kneeling on the ground, her expression became more and more cold.

"Why do you say that General Chu wants your life?"

When mentioning Chu Dingguo, Liu Chunming immediately showed fear on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, the lesson is clear! General Chu locked us up and ordered people to torture us. They want to kill the officials with such black hands. what!"

As he spoke, he tore off the neckline on his chest again, revealing the deep and shallow wounds on his body.

He has been in the Punishment Division for so many years, and he has tried hundreds of people under his command. Now he really is hunting geese all day long and finally being pecked by geese.

Ye Qinghuai looked at him and said, "Did Chu Dingguo send someone to pass on the order, or came to torture you himself?"

Liu Chunming was stunned for a moment, seemed to have noticed something strange, and replied in a low voice, "It's an order from You Yawei."

Ye Qinghuai asked again: "Then have you seen him?"

"No……"

Ye Qinghuai's eyes darkened, and she thought so.

She was silent for a while, and then said: "Then why did you shout that Chu Dingguo wanted to kill you as soon as you came in?"

Liu Chunming was terrified by the coercion in Ye Qinghuai's words. He suddenly realized that Chu Dingguo belonged to the emperor, so he said in a panic, "Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty... Your Majesty is really frightened .They, when they beat us, they kept saying that General Chu wanted our lives. I...I'm panicked..."

He looked really shocked.

"How did you escape?"

"The lower official said that the death of Concubine Lan had nothing to do with the lower official. They didn't believe it, so the lower official told them that there was evidence that Commander Du did it. They asked the lower official to go back to the house to get the evidence to them, saying that they would report it to the superior. Listen. Where does the officer have any evidence? The officer took advantage of their inattention, turned out of the window, and ran out from a small path."

Although he is a little out of shape, his mouth is still so sharp, and his description is vivid.

Ye Qinghuai looked at him, feeling a little annoyed and funny.

She thought for a while, and then asked: "You said that several of your colleagues were also locked up, who are they?"

"Mr. Chen, there are a few waiters. They are the ones who were beaten by His Majesty that day." He touched his thigh, and his face suddenly twisted in pain, "Your Majesty, we have been beaten by the board." I know I made a mistake, and I will never do it again in the future, and I will never dare to neglect my duties again. Your Majesty, spare our lives..."

After speaking, he cried and cried again.

Ye Qinghuai looked at him coldly, and said: "If I want your lives, I will do so then, why bother?"

He paused, rolled his eyes, and immediately kowtowed again: "Your official kowtows to thank God! I won't dare to do it anymore..."

Ye Qinghuai glanced at him and frowned slightly, fearing that even if he had the heart to "dare", he would never have the chance to "dare" again in the future.

She didn't pay attention to Liu Chunming anymore, and started to pace slowly in the courtyard with a solemn expression, thinking about it in her heart.

This matter must be aimed at Chu Dingguo.When the Ministry of Justice took Du Zhengen away, she expected that he would have another trick, so she was so eager to summon He Qingchang yesterday.

I just didn't expect them to do it so quickly.

In the name of Chu Dingguo, the official of the Punishment Department who was on duty that day was interrogated to death, and then he obtained a confession that the Punishment Department abused lynching to kill Qin Baozhu. By removing Du Zhengen from his body, on the one hand, he can use this to impeach Chu Dingguo and force him to step down.

It is a good chess game that kills two birds with one hand.

The purpose of this move was to keep Du Zhengen. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to obliterate the lives of so many Punishment Department officials. It was either Gu Shihai or Du Jing who could do such a black hand under the emperor's nose.

But Ye Qinghuai felt that it was more like what Du Jing did.

The action was so urgent, it could be seen that the person who gave the order was very important to Du Zhengen.

With Gu Shihai's arrogance, he might not be so concerned about a junior in the Du family.

Now that Du Zhengen has fallen into the hands of the Criminal Ministry, the situation is already passive.If even these few witnesses from the Punishment Division were removed, it would be very difficult to bring Du Zhengen to justice.

Ye Qinghuai clenched her fists subconsciously, and anger flashed in her eyes.

At this time, scattered footsteps sounded outside the palace.

Li Baoquan came back with someone.

He also looked a little flustered, leaving the guards behind, walked to Ye Qinghuai alone, saluted her, and approached her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, when the servants arrived, she was already dead."

Ye Qinghuai felt a chill in his heart, and said, "But those people who were hit by the court rod?"

Li Baoquan looked at Ye Qinghuai, nodded, and said, "Yes. All of them are here, and all of them are dead. One of the execution guards was caught on the spot, but he resisted arrest and committed suicide."

Ye Qinghuai frowned and asked, "He committed suicide on the spot? He didn't say anything?"

Li Baoquan paused, and said with a pale face, "He shouted before he died, that he deserved to die for General Chu."

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help sneering.

It seems that there is no proof.Apart from……

She slowly shifted her gaze to Liu Chunming who was kneeling all the time.
