Chapter 67 Blood Vengeance

The principal was panicked by Ye Qinghuai's expression, and hurriedly said: "Yes... yes, it is Du Zhengen, the commander of the Imperial Army's Youya Mansion!"

"You said he was ordered by Dali Temple, where is the official document?"

"Official documents...Master Du said that the matter is urgent, and the official documents will be added later..." The chief's voice dropped again.

"Who is executing the execution?"

"Yes... yes... the executioner of Si Li."

"There is no official document, no decree, just relying on Du Zhengen's words, you let your people do this?"

"Your Majesty, none of these...these people are subordinate officials. The subordinate officials are only in charge, and there are Langzhong and Yuanwai Lang. The subordinate officials also follow orders."

"According to an order? Whose order is it? Who gave you the order to kill you!" Ye Qinghuai became angry, and threw him out by pulling his hair.

After being thrown away, the principal crawled back in a hurry, kowtowed at Ye Qinghuai's feet, and said, "Your Majesty has learned! The officials and officials did not kill the killers, but the people from the Imperial Army!"

Ye Qinghuai frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "What's going on? What Lan Guiren has experienced here today, you can tell me clearly! If you miss a word, you will Try the methods of the Department of Punishment for yourself."

No one knows better than him what the means of the Punishment Department is.

The chief kowtowed quickly, knelt up straight, and replied: "At noon today, the officer was going to have dinner, Commander Du suddenly brought a team of people to escort a... escort Lan Guiren to the Punishment Department. The officer had never met Lan Gui, and saw that she was dressed like a cook, so he thought she was from the imperial dining room, so he didn't ask much. Commander Du said that the Dali Temple discovered that the harem had infiltrated spies and wanted to interrogate her here, so the next officer sent two An executioner helped Commander Du. They entered a torture room, that is, the one on the left hand side to the end, and then closed the door. The gate of the dungeon was guarded by the imperial guards, and the subordinate officials could not approach."

He paused, looked at Ye Qinghuai, saw the emperor staring at him with red eyes, then lowered his head and continued: "The maids and eunuchs who come into our place are usually recruited as soon as they come in, and the stubborn ones can't last an hour. But Commander Du went in and didn't come out for more than two hours, so the lower official was a little puzzled. So he made a pot of hot tea and wanted to serve it to them, so as to see what was going on inside. However, the lower official's tea hadn't been brewed yet. A guard of the Imperial Army came in at the door, and hurriedly said that he was looking for Commander Du."

"Not long after he went down to the dungeon, Commander Du followed him out. Seeing that Commander Du was about to leave in a hurry, the officer hurried up to ask about the situation. He said that he was a trained tough guy. , it will take some time to get the results of the trial, and asked the subordinate officials to bring some dinner for the brothers of the imperial army. The subordinate officials saw that this was the posture of going to the middle of the night for the trial, so they went down and greeted them to come up for dinner first."

"When the officials went down, they didn't have another trial. The officials looked in at the door of the house. Although Lan Guiren didn't look well, his life was safe." After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Ye Qinghuai, He added, "Later, when it was just getting dark, Commander Du brought people back. He went down, and soon brought everyone up. He asked the officials to clean up, saying that the Dali Temple The documents will be delivered in a few days, and then they will leave. When the next official goes down again, it will be... that's it."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty is clear! The official did not lie a single word, and the blood on Lan Guiren's face was cleaned up by the official! It really has nothing to do with the official..."

Ye Qinghuai ignored him.

She was lost in thought.

According to what the principal said, You Yawei originally wanted to use torture to extract the whereabouts of Yuxi, but then Du Zhengen left for a trip, and when he came back, he killed Qin Baozhu.

Obviously under someone's orders.

His boss, Xu Liang, was killed by Lu Yanchen at Donglinmen, and his immediate boss, Luo Zichang, was dismissed by Ye Qinghuai. Now, the only people who can order him are He Qingchang, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Gu Shihai, his second assistant.

He Qingchang didn't show up all day today, it is self-evident who ordered him to kill Qin Baozhu.

Gu Shihai must have thought of it temporarily.

If Ye Qinghuai hadn't made his daughter his queen, Qin Baozhu would have been no threat to him at all.

On the contrary, the emperor was obsessed with women and ignored the government, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

But now that Ye Qinghuai has appointed Gu's daughter as queen, everything is completely different.

Gu Shihai wants to clear all obstacles for his daughter before she enters the palace, so as to ensure that his grandson can inherit the throne.

It's just that Ye Qinghuai never imagined that he could do it so quickly.

As soon as he received the imperial decree from Li Hou, he ordered someone to kill Qin Baozhu on the back.

If what the principal said is true, the time Qin Baozhu died should be the time when Ye Qinghuai was carried back to Jingshou Palace.

She clenched her fists tightly, and her heart was full of regret, which made her chest tight.

It was she who neglected.

If she could have thought of it at that time, to look for Qin Baozhu immediately, maybe her life could be saved.

When she was depressed, the principal was still begging for mercy at her feet.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has been serving as a prisoner for ten years from Dali Temple to the Department of Punishment. He has been conscientious and devoted to his duties. This Majesty has been dragged into the water..."

Hearing this, Ye Qinghuai said angrily: "Drag into the water? No matter who the killer is, the Punishment Department dares to impose such a severe punishment without a document. Do you remember that you are eating the imperial food? Yours The master's surname is neither Du nor Gu! This is the Punishment Department in Miyagi, not Gu Shihai's backyard!"

After finishing speaking, she calmed down a little, and said: "Li Baoquan, send an order for me to report to the palace that the Punishment Department has neglected its duties and used lynching without authorization. , Today, each person on duty will receive twenty court sticks, executed in front of Xuanqing Gate, and will be beaten tonight, and you will keep an eye on it yourself, and let the servants and guards in the palace come and watch."

"The servant leads the order." Li Baoquan said with a bow.

Then he ordered the people behind him: "Take him down. You guys, go to check the records of today's duty, and go get him according to the list."

The principal shouted "Your Majesty, have mercy" all the way and was dragged down.

Only Ye Qinghuai, Qin Yang and Li Baoquan were left in the room.

"I will deal with the matter of Youyawei tomorrow." After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Qin Baozhu's body and Qin Yang who was still kneeling beside the stone bed.

He was still crying silently, his broad back shrugging.

Ye Qinghuai took off her cloak and covered Qin Baozhu.

"Li Baoquan, Lady Lan has been promoted to Concubine Lan, let the inner court place her in the imperial mausoleum." Ye Qinghuai's voice was silent, echoing in the empty morgue.

She stretched out her hand and slowly put it on Qin Yang's shoulder.

After a while, she said hoarsely: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect her well."

Qin Yang wiped his eyes and shook his head, he choked up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a request at the end."

"You said."

"I want to kill that Du Zhengen with my own hands." Deep hatred flashed across Qin Yang's eyes.

Ye Qinghuai hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "I promise you, I will hand him over to you after he is brought to justice."

Qin Yang nodded and stood up.

He looked at Qin Baozhu's cheek, his face was still full of sorrow.

Suddenly, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned his head to look at Ye Qinghuai.

"Your Majesty, have you seen the Young Master's family?"
