Chapter 357 Asking the Prime Minister
"Old man, let's go."
Lu Yuan put his hands in the muff, saluted Xing Shangshu as a junior, turned around and left the execution room.
It wasn't until he walked out of the gate of the Punishment Department that King Miao asked in a disgraceful manner: "You brat, did that sixth man really give you a bowl of **** soup? If it's true, it doesn't feel so painful to give him your life Gu."
Lu Yuan: "Guess."
King Miao: “…”
Brat, you're deliberately not making your grandpa's life easy, right?
Xian'er, look, even if the brat owes you so much, I won't even beat him!
Woohoo, I really love our grandson!
In the execution room, Xun Qi silently wiped away the tears on his face and returned to his calm and elegant manner, completely different from the previous look where he was crying and crying.
He cupped his hands and bowed respectfully to Shangshu Xing: "Master Xing, it was really inappropriate for Xun Qiye to break into the Criminal Department. I would like to apologize to Master Xing here."
Xing Shangshu said seriously: "I will not punish you for your first offense, so you can go."
Xun Qi said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Xing."
When Xun Qi left the Criminal Department, Master Hu asked doubtfully: "Sir, are you really going to let him go like this?"
Xing Shangshu said: "Xun Liu answered all the charges without mentioning Xun Qi."
Master Hu sighed: "But you also let Xun Liu go... We got this confession in vain... The person is gone..."
Xing Shangshu looked at the wind and snow in the sky.
Lu Yuan, I hope your choice is right.
Xun Qi walked out of the Criminal Department covered in blood.
The secret guard hurriedly appeared and asked: "Seventh Young Master, are you injured?"
Xun Qi did not answer, but asked: "Did you see any suspicious people entering and leaving the Criminal Department just now?"
"Suspicious person?" the secret guard recalled carefully, "Does King Miao count? However, he walked out of the Criminal Department in a calm manner. It is strange to say that the Governor went in alone, and when he came out, there was King Miao next to him. ." King Miao is so elusive."
Xun Qi had a certain understanding of the strength of Tiangang Beidou.
At the same time, he also realized the power of King Miao belatedly.
And why Luo San was "bought" by Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan always touches the softest place in people's hearts.
If it were him, he would definitely use Xun Liu's life as a bargaining chip to make a deal to betray his adoptive father.
But Lu Yuan didn't do that.
Transactions have a price, favors are priceless.
"Third brother, you win this round."
Returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xun Qi met Xun Yu who came to ask for help.
Xun Yu said coldly: "Xun Qi, where were you in the middle of the night? My father had such a big incident and is currently being detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. You are still in the mood to wander around? Do you know that something happened to Xun Liu too? "
Xun Qi said mockingly: "Xun Liu, Xun Qi, in your eyes, you have never regarded us as brothers, just stepping stones for you to climb up."
Xun Yu frowned in confusion: "Xun Qi, are you crazy? Don't think that you can talk to me like this because my father is no longer here!"
Xun Qi said: "You are the biological son of my adopted father. My adopted father has been detained for many days. Sixth brother and I have been exhausted. I dare to ask you what your biological son has done? If I had known that you were such a waste, I should have assisted Luo San from the beginning."
Xun Yu fell back in anger!
Xun Qi entered the room and closed the door unceremoniously in front of Xun Yu.
Xun Yu snorted and said coldly: "Xun Qi, are you and Luo San colluding with each other? He is just a motherless bastard, how can he be worthy of being my father's son? He will never want to enter Xun Qi in this life. Home!"
Xun Qi ignored him.
He is very tired.
I am very worried about Brother Six.
Xun Yu saw that Xun Qi really dared to shame him, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes: "When my father gets out of prison, I will let him drive you and Luo San out of the house."

The next day, Shangshu Xing went to the cell where Xun Xiangguo was detained and told him about Xun Liu's confession.
"There are obvious loopholes in the testimony. I don't think Xun Liu can make such a plan. I have asked the Miao King to send Xun Liu to Miao territory for treatment. When Xun Liu recovers and returns, I will interrogate him strictly. Here. In the meantime, Prime Minister Lao will wait for a few more days in the Penal Department Prison."
evening.
Xun Qi received a stack of secret letters and asked him to rush to the frontier for 800 miles. One letter was for the Xicheng army, and the others were for the ten major princes in the Western Regions.
Xun Qi calmly opened the envelope, read it, and replaced the letter inside.
-
After a few days of clear skies, the capital experienced heavy snowfall again.
It's a bit cold, but as the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year.
Xiangguo has been detained for so long, and there has been a lot of condemnation about his crimes.
Gradually, the people no longer believe in Xiangguo one-sidedly.
However, the Ministry of Punishment's delay in convicting him also convinced many people that Xiang Guo was wrongly accused.
Those crimes were not fully guaranteed to be committed by the people under the Prime Minister. At most, the Prime Minister had a unclear understanding of people and was responsible for the oversight.
In the Jinluan Palace, hundreds of officials also requested orders for Prime Minister Xunguo.
"After searching for so long, there is still no conclusive evidence. Shouldn't the Criminal Department release him?"
Huo Shangshu asked coldly.
Zong Zhengxi sat on the dragon chair, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.
There were quarrels about the Prime Minister every day in the court, but Lu Yuan told him to pretend not to hear.
In fact, he also wanted to know, did Xiang Guo really commit a crime?
Xiangguo was obviously a veteran of the Three Dynasties, a minister who had regained the Western Regions and surrendered ten princes in seven years of the Western Expedition. How could he betray the imperial court?
But after learning from the past experience of misunderstanding Lu Yuan, he was no longer so confident in his own vision.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue said: "Sir Xing, I have detained someone for as little as one day or as long as five days. I have never heard of anyone being imprisoned for a month. Don't you, the Ministry of Punishments, want to bend the law for personal gain?"
Xing Shangshu said: "Isn't it already a month? According to the law of this dynasty, if you are investigated for several crimes, you can be detained for one month."
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said seriously: "There are only three days left. If the Ministry of Punishment cannot hand over conclusive personal and material evidence after three days, we will go to the Ministry of Punishment in person to welcome the Prime Minister!"
The Minister of Rites stroked his mustache and wondered where he was going to fall...
Down towards the back.
Xing Shangshu stopped Lu Yuan: "If no more evidence can be produced in three days, the Ministry of Punishment will have no choice but to let Xiang Guo go. As for the fact that he asked Chen Long to arrest you, without Chen Long coming forward to testify against him, it will be difficult to establish the crime."
The evidence that Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian collected from the secret passage has been recognized by Xun Liu. If they want to punish the crime, they will also punish Xun Liu, but they will not be able to punish Xun Xiangguo.
Lu Yuan left the palace.
No matter it was windy or rainy, the sun was blazing or the snow was falling, King Miao would pick him up at the gate of the palace with a bunch of candied haws before going to court as always.
"You look so stinky? Is someone interceding for old traitor Xun again? All the officials in your court were blinded by lard. Don't be angry. Don't be angry. I'll go dig out all his eyeballs, okay?"
Lu Yuan didn't say anything and got into the carriage.
King Miao scratched his head: "It seems that he is really in a bad mood. He doesn't even argue with me anymore." Three days passed by in a flash.
Tomorrow morning, the Prime Minister will be released without charge.
Lu Yuan looked at the wind and snow in the sky, his eyes becoming colder and colder.
"Husband!"
Meng Qianqian entered the house out of breath, covered in wind and snow. Her cheeks and the tip of her nose were red from the cold, but beads of sweat oozed from her forehead due to the intense running. "Look, who is back?"
She lifted up her cloak, revealing the falcon in her arms.
The falcon walked through the wind and snow day and night, exhausted, and fell into the snow in the small garden.
The falcon had a small bundle tied to his body.
"Husband, open it quickly and take a look!"
Lu Yuan unpacked the baggage.
Meng Qianqian held the weak Falcon in her arms, wrapped her cloak tightly, and warmed it with her body.

Inside the baggage is evidence that the Prime Minister colluded with the ten major princes, supported war with war, supported private armies, and fabricated military merits.
On the baggage is a blood letter written by Chen Long.
"The man has been rescued, but not by my blood."
"It's been saved... The second aunt's child has been saved..." Meng Qianqian was so excited that she shed tears. When she saw the last four words, she suddenly burst into laughter again.
Lu Yuan's chest heaved violently.
The twins were rescued, and the final evidence of the crime was obtained.
The trial of the Prime Minister is finally coming.
"Husband..."
Meng Qianqian blinked and looked at him for a moment, "What are you waiting for? Go quickly."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, calmed down, put away the evidence, and rushed out the door.
Thinking of something, he suddenly turned back.
Meng Qianqian asked calmly: "Did you forget something?"
Lu Yuan walked up to her, stared at her steadily, suddenly raised his hand to clasp the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed her.
Meng Qianqian was stunned.
His thumb stroked her soft red lips: "Wait until I come back."
Meng Qianqian nodded blankly: "Yes."
Lu Yuan breathed slightly: "It's cold outside, don't go out. I will arrange for someone to pick up the child."
Meng Qianqian's mind was in a daze, and she wanted to say how did you know that I planned to pick them up...
Lu Yuan turned around and left the room.
Meng Qianqian froze on the spot holding the falcon.
This kiss...has several meanings...
Lu Yuan went to the Miao King's courtyard.
King Miao was sleeping.
Lu Yuan tugged at him: "Old man, old man."
King Miao slept soundly.
Lu Yuan: "Grandma is here."
King Miao sat up in excitement: "Xian'er is here? Where is Xian'er?"
Lu Yuan: "In Wushan."
King Miao darkened his face: "You bastard!"
Lu Yuan told the story of the twins on the road: "Send someone to pick them up."
King Miao said angrily: "There is no one left!"
"Really gone?"
Lu Yuan expressed doubts.
King Miao said with fury: "Even if you kill me, I'm still dead!"
Lu Yuan sighed quietly: "I'm planning to keep you at my grandma's house for a few days."
King Miao: "...It doesn't matter if you can't live in it, it's mainly the descendants of Zhonglie. I can't bear to let them fall into the hands of cheap thieves."
Lu Yuan said: "Don't you have no one in your hands?"
King Miao put his hands on his hips: "Am I not a human being? Can't I go up on my own when there is no one else? Just wait, I'm not even worthy of being Xian'er's husband!"
King Miao followed the route left in the blood book to pick up Chenlong, Yu Zichuan and Longfengtai.
Lu Yuan went to the palace with the evidence of Xiang Guo's crime.
The Supreme Emperor looked at Lu Yuan for a moment: "Are you sure the time has come?"
Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with awe that he had never seen before: "The merchant's bloodline has been rescued, and the secret letter sent to the frontier has been intercepted. Now is the best time."
The Supreme Emperor opened the evidence.
Collaborating with the Western Regions, using war to support war, supporting private armies, and fabricating military achievements... It turns out that the Western Regions have never been taken back, and everything was just a big lie told by Xun Xiuyuan and the ten major princes.
Xun Xiuyuan even ceded land to Loulan.
"What a good counselor and commander, what a loyal king and people, but I and all the people in the world were kept in the dark by you... Xun Xiuyuan, you deserve to die!"
The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he was dizzy.
Although I had already guessed that there might be something fishy about the Western Region War, I didn't expect it to be such a big mess.
He was the emperor in the capital, but his empire was stolen!
"Fortune is complete!"
"The slave is here."
"Draw up the decree and seize the prime minister's house! Ask to kill the prime minister's country!"
