Wu Shuangqi, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, left the Ministry of Punishment. Following the order of the Minister of Punishment, he led a group of soldiers toward the Wu Mansion.
"Sir, Sir, tell me, is Wu Zhiqian still in the house?"
The leader who followed Wu Shuangqi asked worriedly.
He has been busy in the Criminal Department all his life, and this is the first time he has seen such a scene.
Master Shangshu's face turned green.
For Master Wu Shuangqi, this is a good thing. He is Wu Shuangqi's confidant and wants Wu Zhiqian to die immediately.
"I don't know...but it doesn't matter!"
"Go and give the order, brothers, don't worry, let's take a stroll on the street for a while... The Wu family is intricately connected, and Wu Zhiqian is the confidant of Lord Shangshu. Without a special opportunity, it's really not easy to kill the Wu family.
!”
Wu Shuangqi had his hands behind his back. Although his face was anxious, his steps were neither hasty nor slow.
The more anxious the group of dignitaries became, the greater the pressure on Lord Shangshu.
Wu Zhiqian, the instigator, is doomed this time.
"That's not right... There are so many people in the Wu family, why didn't anyone inform Wu Zhiqian... The matter of Northern Eagle Flying General has become a storm in the city, and people are spreading the news."
The boss frowned again.
As long as someone tipped off Wu Zhiqian, the Wu family would not be passive like this.
"Hehehe... Yes, the Wu family is quite large and prosperous. Several of Wu Zhiqian's brothers, big or small, all have official titles."
"But just because the Wu family is so big, there are actually quite a few Wu family members who hate the Wu family."
"In the imperial capital, it's not that difficult to block the ears of a young minister!"
Wu Shuangqi seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
In fact, when the princes came to ask for explanations, Wu Shuangqi had already keenly sensed the crisis in the Wu family.
He is also the Minister of Justice. Although he is not as arrogant and domineering as Wu Zhiqian, he has secretly cultivated a group of subordinates.
Immediately, Wu Shuangqi used various connections to get the top Wu family members, namely Wu Zhiqian's brothers, to work on other cases, and they all left the city at the same time.
Originally, Wu Heqian was supposed to be the first person to be sent away, but the Ministry of War had already transferred him in advance.
The entire Wu family is deeply involved in the Ministry of Punishment, and because of this, Wu Shuangqi can more easily manipulate things.
The current situation is very uncomfortable...
The lower class members of the Wu family and their family members had already heard about the ups and downs of the Criminal Department, but Wu Zhiqian insisted on telling the Wu family that he ordered the door to be closed. The Wu family members did not dare to knock on the door at all.
The brothers who dared to force their way through the door have all been transferred and are currently not in the imperial capital.
"Actually... we can't delay it for long..."
Wu Shuangqi suddenly smiled.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
Wu Zhiqian will definitely know the news, and he can only pray that there are more fools in the Wu family.
"Your Excellency, then...where should we go next? To the Wu Mansion? Or..."
The boss swallowed his saliva and asked quietly.
"Where to go? Haha, of course, wandering around the world... Wu Shilang said that he is not at home, so we must look around for it..."
Wu Shuangqi stood at the crossroads and walked in the other direction.
The principal followed behind him, feeling a chill in his heart.
Three ministers compete for the position of minister.
This flattery and intrigue are simply hard to guard against.
It's really life and death.
Wu Shuangqi squinted his eyes and suddenly looked in the direction of the palace.
The Northern Eagle Flying General matter has not yet reached its fullest extent.
In fact, the reason why Wu Shuangqi was able to block Wu Zhiqian's ears was because of a spy within the Wu family.
The eldest son of Wu is Wu Zhiqian's legitimate son, his sweetheart, and Wu Zhiqian's heir.
The Wu family also has a group of concubines.
Among them was a concubine who had means, strategy, and talent...but his mother was born in a humble background and had a fiery personality when she was young. She publicly contradicted Wu Zhiqian's own mother.
In the end, the concubine was forced to death by the Wu family's grandmother.
That bastard also suffered from grandma’s eyes...
On the surface, the concubine is groveling and acting like a good guy who can be bullied by everyone, but in his heart, he already hates everything...
In this world, the person who wants the Wu family to disappear the most is not the other two ministers... but this concubine.
Wu Zhiqian was aloof, thinking that he was keeping his promise in the Wu Mansion, but he did not know that the servants of the Wu Mansion had already been bribed by the bastards.
…
Wu Mansion!
I don't know why, Wu Zhiqian suddenly felt uneasy.
Will there be any difficulties if my son breaks through?
Thinking of this, he hurried to the backyard again.
A long time ago, there was already a miniature spirit gathering array in the backyard.
Wu Zhiqian had saved seven or eight years of money in exchange for a batch of precious elixirs. He originally wanted to ask Master Tongwen to personally help his son break through.
Unfortunately, the whereabouts of Master Tongwen are unknown.
Fortunately, Wanduyan was recommended by Tongwen to help out.
Wu Zhiqian had long heard of the name Wan Duoyan.
In terms of medical skills, Wan Duyan may not be as good as You Tongwen, but by tapping acupoints and taking pulses, Wan Duyan is not weaker than You Tongwen.
I didn't consider Wan Duyan before because Wan Duyan's temper is even weirder than that of You Tongwen.
If you are lucky and encounter You Tongwen who is short of money, you can spend money to treat him for a consultation.
But Wan Dueye doesn't get in, and everything is left to chance.
Over time, people stayed away from Wan Dueye.
Wu Zhiqian was lucky. In addition to Wan Duoyan himself taking pulses, he also had a direct disciple of the miracle doctor to help him.
Stable!
My son, Wu Zhiqian, is destined to never be ordinary.
When the minister retires and returns to his hometown, he will be the next minister of punishment.
A tiger father has no dog sons.
My son is destined to inherit my mantle, even...better than his predecessor.
"Master Wu, your son's meridians have stabilized and you don't need blood supply anymore... If you have something to do, you can go and get busy."
Shi Yingnan raised his eyelids and said calmly.
Wu Zhiqian could not leave before. If something unexpected happened along the way, Wu Zhiqian's blood could undo the mistake.
But the dangerous period has passed, and the one-eyed method is no longer needed.
"Thank you both!"
Wu Zhiqian thanks again.
He glanced at his son who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and then looked at Wan Duoyan's confident expression, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Huh?
Why do I still feel uneasy?
My eyelids twitched terribly.
"Master, you have tea..."
The old housekeeper ran over and handed Wu Zhiqian hot tea.
"Didn't the people from the Criminal Department say what happened just now?"
Wu Zhiqian asked leisurely.
Theoretically, he should go to Shangshu's house immediately, after all, his son's dangerous period has passed.
But things have to be prioritized.
Obviously, the son's bones are the most important. Lord Shangshu is physically strong and will not die for a while.
"It shouldn't be a big deal!"
The old housekeeper said.
He actually knew that Wu Heqian had captured Flying General Beiying, and that all the royal relatives were about to dismantle the criminal department.
The minister was furious and wanted to slaughter the entire Wu family.
If Wu Zhiqian had dealt with it from the beginning, perhaps the Wu family could have survived this disaster.
But the old housekeeper didn't want the Wu family to survive.
…
East Palace!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hosted a banquet in honor of Prince Gao of Donglan Kingdom.
At the wine table, the prince was in high spirits, mocking Prince Gao for not overestimating his abilities.
At the same time, the prince continued to praise Cui Huayong's bravery to the princess.
The Crown Princess was gentle and kept echoing.
She has no interest in things like fighting and killing. As long as the prince is happy, she will be happy.
Since the prince can like this female guard, he should treat her better.
Prince Gao squinted his eyes and poured glass after glass of wine into his mouth.
He had already left the imperial capital and reached the city gate, but this dog prince insisted on catching him back and throwing a banquet to humiliate him.
Simply abominable.
Zhongzhou people are all despicable and shameless.
"Eh... Cui Huayong, you have been restless. Is there something on your mind?"
The prince asked Cui Huayong to pour wine for Prince Gao, hoping to humiliate the dog prince again.
But it took three calls before Cui Huayong came back to his senses.
"Ah...no, no..."
Cui Huayong said hurriedly.
"Something's wrong... If you have something to hide, just say it. You've done something good, and I can help you."
The prince has an insight into people's hearts and can tell her thoughts at a glance.
"The prince asks you, just tell the truth!"
The Crown Princess smiled.
Strictly speaking, Cui Huayong is now his bodyguard.
"Cough...cough..."
Prince Gao coughed and felt strangely angry.
Cui Huayong glanced at Prince Gao, but he didn't dare to say anything... The young master's matter was a scandal in Zhongzhou. He was afraid that if he spoke out, he would be laughed at by the Prince of Donglan Kingdom.
"Could it be that...your crown prince has some hidden secret? Are you pregnant with the crown prince's dragon seed? Don't you dare to give birth? What's the difficulty? Go to Donglan Kingdom to give birth. I can be the father. You can give birth to me."
The king becomes a concubine, hahaha..."
"I understand, I understand... Zhongzhou people are very particular about not exposing a family scandal... I will pretend that I didn't hear it, and I will definitely not spread it... hahaha..."
Prince Gao said not to pass it on, but his impatient expression clearly meant that he wanted to plaster the streets with notices.
"You must not slander His Highness the Crown Prince."
Cui Huayong is afraid of the prince, but she is surprisingly brave when facing the thieves of Donglan Kingdom. Even if you are a prince, I will still scold you.
"Slander? Then tell me, what's on your mind?"
Prince Gao was holding a wine flask, looking strangely angry.
"That's all... Since I don't dare to say it, I will resign. The mighty Zhongzhou Dynasty has now become a slut..."
Prince Gao sneered in a sinister manner.
"Cui Huayong, what exactly is going on? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate!"
The prince squinted his eyes.
Although he is a dignified prince, he can have concubines, but he must also pay attention to his reputation. How can he let rumors spread casually?
"Your Highness, my young master was captured by the Ministry of Punishment... Without any evidence, the Ministry of Punishment accused the young master of harboring stolen goods and wanted to be a wanted criminal. He didn't care about the crime and put him in a dungeon. Now the young master may be dead!"
Cui Huayong knelt down without hesitation.
She had long wanted to ask the prince to come forward, but the prince had been busy and there were people from the Donglan Kingdom in front of her. She did not dare to speak for fear of backfiring.
Now that the prince asked, she didn't care so much anymore.
"Your young master? Gu remembers it. Is he the Northern Eagle Flying General?"
the prince asked.
"yes!"
Cui Huayong nodded.
"Northern Eagle Flying General? This king has heard that Qi Qiancheng asked Xin Shanhan to seriously injure that kid... Hahahaha, the kid couldn't be killed on the battlefield, but he was killed by your own people unexpectedly..."
"Awesome! Awesome!"
"I've heard that your Zhongzhou is good at intrigues, and many famous generals have been framed to death by gangsters... In my opinion, the continuous fall of Zhongzhou's borders has something to do with the fact that there are no generals available."
"A young and promising general was actually killed by a mere criminal department...it's hard to understand."
Prince Gao interrupted.
"There is still such a thing... Come on, come with me to the Criminal Department. I want to ask Lu Chongqing why he puts people in the dungeon directly."
The prince frowned.
He instinctively realized that something was not normal.
Although Northern Eagle Flying General has no real power, he still has a title after all. There is no reason to go to the dungeon without solid proof.
What is a dungeon?
It is almost impossible for the prisoners inside to come out again.
…
"Prince Gao, why are you following me?"
As soon as the Crown Prince and his party walked out of the East Palace, Prince Gao and his party, who were supposed to leave, actually followed behind.
"Our two countries are allies. I was invited by His Majesty the Emperor to experience the customs and customs in the imperial capital. The trial of the case is also the custom of Zhongzhou. Can't I observe it?"
Prince Gao looked as if he should take it for granted.
"snort!"
The prince waved his sleeves.
He just asked someone to inquire about the whole story.
According to reports from his subordinates, it seems that someone in the Criminal Department coveted the treasure in the hands of General Beiying, and wanted to kill General Beiying on an unfounded charge.
Thinking again of Cui Huayong's pearly bones, I am afraid this treasure really exists.
Nine times out of ten, it was the Ministry of Punishment that abused its power.
This was a real family scandal, and he didn't want people from the Donglan Kingdom to see it.
But Prince Gao was indeed a guest invited by his father, and he had to take care of his father's face.
That’s it!
As long as you handle it fairly yourself, it won't matter if it spreads to foreign countries.
…
"What...His Royal Highness went to the Ministry of Punishment?"
When the chief heard the news, he was filled with shock and ran to Wu Shuangqi's side.
"Your Excellency, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went to the Ministry of Punishment..."
The principal couldn't figure out why Qin Jinyang could alert His Royal Highness.
"Let's go...go to the Wu Mansion immediately...we must break in if we break in...we must arrest Wu Zhiqian and take him to the Criminal Department...it's time to make a contribution."
Wu Shuangqi smiled.
The biggest big shot has finally arrived.
Wu Shuangqi knew that the third son of the Cui family had gone to the East Palace to work as a guard.
With His Highness the Prince's character, as long as he knows about Qin Jinyang's affairs, he will definitely stand up for the third son of the Cui family.
After all, the third eldest son of the Cui family made meritorious service in the Imperial Forest Army's martial arts competition.
Your Majesty, your Majesty is so proud.
…
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The Ministry of Punishment was originally in a commotion.
Everyone is impatient.
The assistant minister had been gone for so long, but he still couldn't find Wu Heqian and Wu Zhiqian.
The little princess was even more impatient. She couldn't understand why Lu Chongqing couldn't rescue the idol himself.
Others understood Lu Chongqing.
This old fox has been stalling for time, waiting for a scapegoat.
As a result, the scapegoat did not wait, but a big shot came.
Everyone stood up and saluted hurriedly.
"Where is Northern Eagle Flying General? Let him be released from the dungeon first, and I will watch your interrogation alone!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand and sat directly in the seat of the Minister of Punishment.
…
"Get away!"
Wu Beiqian, the third son of the Wu family, stood in front of the Wu Mansion. His face was red and his neck was thick, and he wanted to slap the guards at the door to death.
He was originally busy with a case.
Suddenly, a close confidant rushed over and even vomited blood.
A close confidant also sent a shocking news.
That idiot Wu Heqian, for his own selfish desires, actually captured the Northern Eagle Flying General and imprisoned him in a dungeon without authorization.
Who would have thought that the status of Northern Eagle Flying General is not simple.
The Tianwang Division, the Ministry of War, the Yushitai, the Front Office Division, the Prince Consort, Prince Luan...all kinds of royal relatives have surrounded the Yamen of the Criminal Department.
Now Wu Heqian is missing, and Lord Shangshu is looking for his elder brother all over the world.
But the eldest brother told Master Shangshu that he was not in the house.
Wu Beiqian clearly remembers that today is the day when his eldest brother will promote his eldest nephew to the root level.
really.
The eldest brother gave an order not to allow anyone to disturb.
Even you can't go in casually.
"I'm sorry, Third Master. I specifically told you that no one is allowed to come in."
The guard looked apologetic, but acted extremely resolutely.
Thumping!
A homing pigeon flew into Wu Beiqian's hands.
When he opened the letter, his face immediately turned black.
Damn...
His Royal Highness the Prince actually went to the Penal Department Yamen.
idiot!
Wu Heqian, this idiot, is going to make the entire Wu family doomed.
"roll!"
Wu Beiqian was furious and kicked the guard away.
"Brother...brother...come out quickly, something big happened..."
Wu Beiqian shouted as he walked towards the backyard.
He is Wu Zhiqian's closest brother and can be considered a confidant of his eldest brother, so he knows the backyard of his eldest nephew's retreat.
"Why are you panicking... Keep your voice down!"
Wu Zhiqian followed the voice and walked out, frowning and scolding.
If Wan Duyan is disturbed, it will affect his son's promotion.
"Something big happened..."
"That idiot Wu Heqian captured Flying General Beiying and put him in the dungeon. Now his life or death is uncertain... His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived at the Ministry of Punishments. Lord Shangshu has been looking for you several times... Hurry up and have a look!"
Wu Beiqian gritted his teeth and cursed.
…
"who?"
Before Wu Zhiqian could come to his senses.
Another startled sound came from the backyard first.
