The empress frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Is that true?"

The Minister of Punishment nodded solemnly, "If several detectives discovered it at the same time, there can be no lie!"

After the empress heard this, she remained silent and looked extremely cold!

Wu Xiang thought for a moment and advised, "Your Majesty, Qin Yi and Prince Ning do not know each other, and there is no motive for committing the crime. Your Majesty, please think again!"

At first, he thought that the enemy wanted to deal with Ding Junhou's faction, and Qin Yi was just implicated.

But new clues that suddenly appeared made him feel that the enemy wanted to deal with Qin Yi, and the Dingjunhou faction was only implicated.

But after thinking carefully, he understood that the enemy had given the empress a multiple-choice question!

Either, continue to pursue the case and harm many military attaches, or convict Qin Yi and put an end to the matter.

An extremely sinister plot!

Obviously the enemy also knows that Qin Yi alone is worth a dozen or even dozens of generals.

This also shows that the enemy hates Qin Yi!

Could it be the Chixin Sect?

Prime Minister Wu was meditating, and Prime Minister Wen was also meditating. He was extremely surprised and didn't know what to say, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

As Wu Xiang said, Qin Yi had no motive to poison King Ning, and the two did not know each other before.

Even if he was at odds with the military attache, Xiang Wen also knew that Qin Yi was a rare talent that Linzhan had encountered in a hundred years. Without him, let alone the future, let alone the previous two battles in the north and south, Linzhan would not be able to easily crack it.

.

If it were other generals, they would be wronged if they were wronged, but Qin Yi could never die unjustly, so after thinking for a moment, Wen Xiang said, "Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"

Prime Minister Wu was slightly surprised and couldn't help turning his head to glance at Prime Minister Wen. Unexpectedly, at this juncture, this guy didn't cause any trouble.

The two ministers said this, and the empress narrowed her bright eyes slightly and began to think deeply.

The Minister of Punishment asked softly, "Your Majesty, how should we respond?"

Just because the poison was in Qin Yi's case, it doesn't mean that the poison belongs to Qin Yi, it just makes him more suspicious.

In this case, he should be imprisoned and interrogated strictly. However, Qin Yi was a hero in the two battles to suppress barbarians and bandits. It is somewhat unjustifiable that he suffered such a disaster just after returning to Beijing.

If it can be proven that he is the murderer, that's it. If it is proven that he is innocent, it will most likely chill the hearts of the heroes.

So this situation is difficult to handle.

The empress was silent for a moment before speaking out, "Intensify your efforts and continue the investigation!"

"What about General Qin..." Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment asked softly.

"Continue to be under house arrest and send someone to ask questions." The empress responded in a deep voice.

After everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the empress thought of Qin Yi's great contributions, so she deliberately spared him.

In this way, Qin Yi's face is saved without affecting the progress of the investigation.

"Your Majesty, I kindly ask you to go with the Ministry of Justice to inquire about Qin Yi." Wu Xiang said suddenly.

If he suddenly went to see a suspect without permission, he would also be suspected, so he made a plea.

The empress was a little confused and didn't know why Prime Minister Wu wanted to see Qin Yi, but since the other party made a request, she naturally would not refuse and immediately said, "Yes!"

……

Huaweifang, lobby.

Qin Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, as if deep in thought.

In the front yard, a soldier was holding a chopping knife and chopping firewood.

Since he and Qin Yi were placed under house arrest together, he has turned from a soldier into a servant. He does everything from boiling water to cutting firewood.

Of course, as a subordinate, you should do this as a matter of course.

He was just a little dissatisfied. The food Sentowei sent was too unpalatable, so he kept mumbling and complaining.

Qin Yi was in the lobby and did not hear the complaints from the soldiers. He was recalling everything that happened that night when Marquis Dingjun hosted a banquet.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts.

"General Qin, Prime Minister Wu and the Minister of Punishment are here, please open the door!" The voice of Qian Dao Wei Bai Hu came suddenly.

The soldier suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Qin Yi in the hall, who nodded lightly.

The soldier did not delay and immediately ran to open the door.

At this time, Qin Yi also walked out quickly and greeted him.

He only met Wu Xiang three times, twice in the court and once outside the city. He did not expect that the other party would come to his humble abode in person.

The door opened, revealing three people outside. A middle-aged man with eyes as deep as abyss and a tough face was none other than Prime Minister Wu.

A gentle and fair man in purple robes with a goat's beard, and a strong armored general guard hundreds of households with a thousand swords.

Qin Yi cupped his hands and saluted, "The general has met the Prime Minister of Wu and all of my colleagues."

Prime Minister Wu nodded lightly, looking at Qin Yi quietly with calm eyes, "Your Majesty ordered me and Mr. Zhang to come here to ask you something."

He actually sent the Prime Minister to ask questions?

He was just implicated and shouldn't be taken so seriously... He was confused, but his expression remained unchanged. Qin Yi immediately responded, "My lords, please come in. This is a humble and simple house, so please forgive me."

The soldiers on the side rushed to the kitchen in a conspicuous manner, preparing to boil water for tea.

After bringing everyone into the lobby, Qin Yi wanted Prime Minister Wu to sit in the first place. Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Wu sat down in the side seat and said, "The matter is urgent, so don't be polite."

In this case, Qin Yi could only sit down on the main seat. Fortunately, this mansion was a gift from the empress. The emperor would naturally not be shabby when he took action. All the furniture was fully equipped and not cheap, so Qin Yi would not

Please sit on the ground.

The Prime Minister Wu and the Minister of Punishment sat down on the side seats, while the sturdy Qiandao Guard Baihu stood behind the Prime Minister Wu, acting as a guard. He stared at Qin Yi closely with his tiger eyes, as if on guard.

Baihu knew that Qin Yi's martial arts was extraordinary, and if he was not careful, he would be really difficult to deal with, so he felt very nervous, clenching and unclenching his hands, and then clenching them again.

Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, but he didn't pay much attention.

Without any pleasantries, the Minister of Punishment went straight to the point and asked, "General Qin, do you know Prince Ning?"

A very normal question... This thought flashed through Qin Yi's mind, and he immediately responded, "I didn't know each other before, but we got to know each other after being introduced by the Marquis during the banquet."

The Minister of Justice nodded, "How was your chat with Prince Ning that night?"

He knew that King Ning liked poetry, and Qin Yi was very accomplished in poetry, so the two of them would definitely communicate.

"We had a great conversation." Qin Yi replied. He didn't hide anything because he knew that the Ministry of Justice would definitely ask these questions to other people present. There was no need for him to hide it, otherwise he would be asking for trouble.

Immediately afterwards, the Minister of Punishment asked many questions, and Qin Yi answered them truthfully.

After asking the question, the Minister of Punishment looked at the Prime Minister and said respectfully, "Master Wu, the minister has finished asking."

He knew that when Prime Minister Wu came with him, he must have something to say to Qin Yi.

Prime Minister Wu kept looking at Qin Yi lightly, and nodded after listening to the words of the Minister of Justice.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Qin Yi, the enemy has many targets in this frame-up. And you are the most important one!"

Hearing this, Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat!
Chapter completed!
