When he saw Zhao Jin, he almost cried with joy and almost trotted over, "Duke Xuanping!"
Zhao Jin paused and was grabbed by the sleeve by the Minister of Punishment, "...Master Shangshu."
"My lord, you are finally here!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and refused to let go.
"Well, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army directly captured General Qi and threw him to the Criminal Department. His Majesty also became furious and kept exerting pressure."
As he said this, the Minister of Punishment couldn't help but touch his hair, "I feel like my hair has turned a lot whiter in one night."
The Minister of Punishment's hair was mostly covered by his official hat. Zhao Jin couldn't see clearly, but it was true that he looked haggard.
"Master Shangshu, don't be anxious yet." Zhao Jin grabbed the wrist of the Minister of Punishment, with a smile on his face, but directly brushed the hand of the Shangshu of the Punishment Department away with his hand.
In front of the lobby of the Criminal Department, the two of them were arguing like this.
The Minister of Punishment later realized that his behavior just now was not appropriate, and he laughed twice.
"Really, too many things happened overnight."
Zhao Jin understood. He heard that Lin Yu, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, arrested General Qi and sent him to the Ministry of Punishment in the middle of the night. He was afraid that the Minister of Punishment had never fallen asleep since he was picked up last night.
"Since General Qi is related to this case, we must investigate clearly. Is there any evidence collected now?" Zhao Jin asked calmly.
The Minister of Punishment sighed heavily, "There are only tokens found through the search and the secret marks on the clothes of the man in black."
"I have heard about what happened last night, but that's all. I'm afraid there's not enough evidence."
"Yes." The Minister of Punishment felt a headache.
Zhao Jin pondered for a moment and then said: "I think that if this is the case, there is no rush to investigate General Qi's side now."
The Minister of Punishment's eyes moved slightly, "Why did the Duke say this? Your Majesty is furious because of this matter. If it is left unsolved, I'm afraid it will anger Your Majesty."
"Does Master Shangshu have any clues?" Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and did not refute, he just asked.
The Minister of Punishment suddenly choked up. Of course he had no clue, otherwise there would be no need to worry here.
Zhao Jin saw his answer from the look on the face of the Minister of Justice, and smiled, "Since there is no clue, why not check for clues first?"
"This..." The Minister of Punishment was still hesitant.
He was afraid that if General Qi's case was not investigated as soon as possible, the Qi family and His Majesty would settle accounts with him.
"Master Shangshu, the dead man in General Qi's case was originally related to the case of privately manufacturing salt. Let's check the places that are currently relevant first, and maybe we will make new discoveries."
"Otherwise, if you run around like a headless fly, I'm afraid the case will not be cleared up, but you will only alert the enemy."
The Minister of Punishment suddenly woke up and said, "What the Duke of Guo said is reasonable. I will continue to investigate Qu Xiaoren and the Ai family."
"Yes." Zhao Jin nodded, "I'm going to go check on General Qi and the man in black captured last night to see if I can find any clues."
Naturally, the Minister of Punishment immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll invite you here, Mr. Guo."
The cell where Qi Jiahan was located was better than Wang Xikang's. Perhaps it was because of the Qi Jiahan incident that there were many doubts, and the Qi family had always been a meritorious family.
How dare the Criminal Department be negligent? If Qi Jiahan is found to have nothing to do with this case, then he will have offended a general.
Hearing the commotion, Qi Jiahan raised his head and said quietly: "Duke Xuanping, Lord Shangshu."
Zhao Jin and Qi Jiahan looked at each other, both of them looked indifferent and extremely strange.
"General Qi."
Zhao Jin took a step forward and approached the cell, "General Qi, what do you have to defend? After all, this token was searched from General Qi's room."
Zhao Jin deliberately emphasized the word "token", locked his eyes tightly with Qi Jiahan, and continued: "Don't General Qi say something?"
Because he was concerned about Qi Jiahan's identity, the Minister of Punishment only interrogated the man in black and did not have time to interrogate Qi Jiahan.
Zhao Jin's question is exactly what the Minister of Punishment meant.
"This general has never seen that token in the room." After saying this, Qi Jiahan looked away and stretched his legs.
"As for the man in black." Qi Jiahan couldn't hold back and laughed sarcastically, "I have never seen this general before, and I don't know where his face comes from. He called me master the first time we met."
"Even if it is a dog, there is no reason to bark around to recognize its owner."
Zhao Jin's eyebrows twitched, he knew who Qi Yunche inherited that mouth from.
At the previous banquet, I didn't notice it when I was talking to Qi Jiahan, but now I know that Qi Jiahan has an unforgiving mouth.
"No more?" Zhao Jin asked.
Then, Zhao Jin saw Qi Jiahan twitching the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"No, what do you want to hear, Duke Xuanping? Why don't you tell me directly so that I can sing to you." Qi Jiahan sat on the low bed, stretched out his legs, and looked at Zhao Jin leisurely.
The two of them were obviously one high and one low, but Qi Jiahan did not appear weak at all, and instead stabbed Zhao Jin lightly.
really.
Zhao Jinqian sighed, "In that case, I won't force General Qi."
The Minister of Justice next to him had turned red in the face, out of anger.
It was not that he had never heard of General Qi's powerful mouth, but this was the first time he had experienced it. It was really overwhelming, and every word he spoke was like a punch in the lungs.
Zhao Jin turned around and continued walking inside. His hands dropped to his sides and he gently waved his left hand against the cell, without attracting the attention of the Minister of Punishment.
Qi Jiahan's eyes fell on it for a moment, then he quickly looked away and smiled silently.
The cell of the man in black was further back. Zhao Jin took a look and was almost certain that he would not be able to gain anything from him.
He and the Minister of Punishment walked over without restraining their voices at all.
As a dead soldier, the opponent's five senses should be very sensitive, but there was no reaction at all.
Zhao Jin knocked on the wooden pillar of the cell with his fingers. The other person still lowered his head. If he hadn't seen the other person's fingers move, Zhao Jin would have thought that the person was dead.
"It was the same during the previous interrogation." Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment whispered in Zhao Jin's ear.
Zhao Jin gave a light "tsk" and asked directly: "General Qi is your master?"
"Yes." This time, the man in black finally reacted, raised his head and glanced at Zhao Jin, then lowered his head.
Zhao Jin stared at the man in black and said solemnly: "This is the first time I have seen a dead man testify about the master behind him."
Naked suspicion, but the man in black seemed not to hear it and did not react at all.
After that, no matter what Zhao Jin said, the man in black never made a sound again, as if he only existed to testify against Qi Jiahan.
