Chapter 85
"Missing?" Ye Qinghuai blurted out.

Li Wenqing's expression darkened, and he said, "According to what the Jingji Xiao cavalry guard said, he escaped from prison during the arrest and interrogation."

"Prison break?" Ye Qinghuai sneered, it was really ridiculous, "A 14-year-old girl escaped from prison?"

Li Wenqing remained silent.He is a criminal officer, so he can't say anything without evidence.

Ye Qinghuai knew that she couldn't find anything if she asked him, so she didn't ask any more questions, but her expression became more and more gloomy.

"Who is in charge of this case in Jingzhao Mansion?"

"This case involves a third-rank official of the imperial court and has a great influence in Beijing. Therefore, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture will personally hear it."

Speaking of Jiang Qiancheng, the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion, Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered him leading the yamen servants to help evacuate the wounded in front of Chengtian Gate.

"Is Jiang Qiancheng's trial fair?"

Li Wenqing thought about his wording, and said, "I think it's fair." He paused, and continued to explain, "The Ministry of Punishment once proposed that the governor of Jingzhao Mansion was from the third-rank official position, and the trial of Gu Haiwang, who lives in the third-rank official position, is a leapfrog trial. If it does not comply with regulations, the case should be raised to a trial level and transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial."

Ye Qinghuai listened quietly, silently analyzing the situation in her heart.

From this point of view, the governor of Jingzhao may not be Gu Shihai's person, at least he is not absolutely guided by Gu Shihai.

"The Ministry of Punishment put pressure on the Jingzhao Mansion several times, but Jiang Fu Yin never let go."

This was beyond Ye Qinghuai's expectation. Gu Shihai was so tough, and Jiang Gancheng dared to detain his eldest son and not let him go. I am afraid that in Shengjing, few people would dare to confront Gu Shihai so blatantly.

"Is he so stubborn?" Ye Qinghuai asked with a smile, with unspeakable appreciation in his eyes.

"He said that the case was handpicked by His Majesty to be heard by the Jingzhao Mansion. It is a special case and should not follow the regulations."

Ye Qinghuai nodded, and said: "This case must never be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Li Qing, you are the supervisor of this case, let alone let go."

"The minister leads the order."

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while, and then said: "Li Qing, during your supervision and interrogation, make a copy of all relevant case files and statements, and submit them to me in secret."

Li Wenqing raised his head and saw the unfathomable light reflected in the emperor's slightly lowered eyes.

He suddenly felt that the emperor seemed to be different from the emperor he saw in Qinxian Palace last time.

Li Wenqing lowered his head, cupped his hands and saluted, "I understand."
-
It was already noon when Li Wenqing left, and Ye Qinghuai only had lunch.

She didn't take a few bites before stopping her chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, do you think the food is not to your liking?" Aunt Fanghua asked from the side.

She still had a bandage on her left hand, and it was a bit inconvenient to eat. Aunt Fanghua stood beside her with an empty bowl and helped her pick up the food.

Ye Qinghuai shook her head, showed a helpless smile, and said, "I'm afraid that any delicacies in front of me are tasteless."

Aunt Fanghua looked at her brows that had not been stretched, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there something on your mind?"

Ye Qinghuai heaved a long sigh, looked at the bright sunshine in the courtyard of Jingshou Palace with some ecstasy, and said with emotion: "Auntie, I met two people this morning. One is loyal and brave but has no plans, and the other is smart but afraid of death. I was thinking that it would be great if the two of them could become one."

Aunt Fanghua laughed when she heard that, and said: "What if the two of them become one and become a person who has no plans and is afraid of death?"

Ye Qinghuai looked up at Aunt Fanghua seriously, thought for a while, and said, "It makes sense, I didn't think of this."

Aunt Fanghua smiled kindly at her and said, "Your Majesty, everything in this world can never go as you wish, no one is perfect."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Fanghua filled a bowl of soup for her, put it lightly in front of her, and said, "But isn't Mr. Lu the person His Majesty said to be loyal, courageous and wise?"

Ye Qinghuai was drinking soup when she heard Aunt Fanghua talk about Lu Yanchen, she quickly swallowed it, raised her head and asked, "How is he? Did he wake up?"

"I heard from Doctor Zhou that I woke up once in the morning, but fell asleep again."

"Is Grandpa Zhou still there?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Aunt Fanghua nodded and said with a smile, "I'll be guarding Mr. Lu every step of the way."

Ye Qinghuai felt relieved, and pretended to be distressed: "Grandpa Zhou has made great contributions this time. Auntie, what do you think I should reward him?"

Aunt Fanghua looked at Ye Qinghuai's dangling left shoulder, and said, "Your Majesty will follow the doctor's orders and get better soon, which is better than anything else for Imperial Physician Zhou."

Ye Qinghuai thought about it, and immediately picked up the bone soup in the bowl and drank it in a big gulp. After finishing drinking, she said: "Then I should eat more. Auntie, give me another bowl!"

Hearing Ye Qinghuai's appetite, Aunt Fanghua's eyes brightened, and she immediately filled another big bowl of soup for her.

After a while, before Ye Qinghuai finished his second bowl of soup, Li Baoquan came back.

Ye Qinghuai immediately put down the soup in her hand, and asked Li Baoquan, "Is everything going well?"

Li Baoquan had some thin sweat on his forehead, he seemed to be in a hurry when he came back, he wiped his sweat with the corner of his sleeve and said: "Going back to the master, there are some twists and turns, but it is safe and sound."

"Tell me in detail."

"Some people in the Youya Guard refused to accept the imperial decree, and said that they would recognize General Chu, the General of Wuwei, only after seeing the order of the commander of the Forbidden Army. But there were also many people who recognized General Chu, and the people on both sides had a quarrel at first, and then fought again. Okay. General Chu was very skilled, and even though he was wounded, he easily took down the school lieutenant who was leading the trouble, and finally managed to stabilize the situation and became the general of the military guard."

Ye Qinghuai nodded, and asked a seemingly insignificant question: "Where is Xu Liang's body?"

Li Baoquan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "He has not been charged with treason yet, his body should still be parked in the guard."

"You make another trip later, and send a message to Chu Dingguo, asking him to go to the guard to pay homage to Xu Liang tonight when there are few people. He should worship like a dead brother, but don't let people I know, go secretly by yourself."

Li Baoquan was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, as far as this old slave knows, General Chu and Xu Liang should not be considered acquaintances."

Ye Qinghuai ignored him, and continued: "After you bring him to the chat room, let the little eunuch under his command stare at him, and find someone who is smart and will not be discovered. When he sees him going to the guard, he will be on the right Discussing Chu Dingguo's whereabouts near the Yafu Division, leading the guards of the Right Yamen to the guards, so that they "coincidentally" bumped into Chu Dingguo who worshiped Xu Liang in the guards."

Li Baoquan suddenly understood what the emperor meant.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Majesty really took great pains for General Chu."

But Ye Qinghuai sighed, and said: "If he is half as smart as you, I don't have to bother so much."

But then he would not be the current Chu Dingguo.Ye Qinghuai said in her heart.
