Chapter 406: How can you drag the majestic Duke of the country? Put him in the inner prison!
Inner guard.
Qiu Shenji placed the tea in front of Li Jingye: "You are a rare visitor. It is quite rare for our internal guards to come to the Duke, especially the British Duke. I have admired him for a long time. Please have some tea!"
Li Jingye looked stiff and looked around. Although he didn't see any horrible torture instruments, he always felt that this place was eerie. However, the fat man in front of him was kind-hearted and even served him tea.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Li Jingye forced out a smile: "Thank you very much!"
Qiu Shenji smiled and said: "You're welcome, I'm afraid the British Duke can't remember. My father used to follow the old Duke. When the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, he was his marching deputy."
Li Jingye was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out it's my grandfather's old team, so he is one of his own, his own!"
He had no doubt that just because he had enjoyed so many connections since he was a child, he became a third-rank official comfortably all the way.
Now that he has entered the inner guard, he is taken care of. He picked up the tea happily, took a sip and put it down. He commented: "I still like to drink buttermilk. Only southerners drink this soft drink..."
Qiu Shenji immediately ordered the people around him: "Have you heard the Duke's request? Why don't you serve the buttermilk quickly?"
Li Jingye was even more satisfied and felt that the internal guards were not so scary.
When the buttermilk was served, he tasted it gently and saw that Qiu Shenji was in casual clothes and not wearing an official robe. Then he began to ask the other party's name and promised: "I don't know which military guard you are? Which general is your father? From now on.
We are waiting for the nobles in Guanzhong to have a banquet, and you should have a seat at the table!"
Listening to the arrogance that could not be concealed in his tone, Qiu Shenji's smile became even brighter: "Thank you very much, Mr. British. Before I entered the inner guard, I really wanted to walk around with you more, but I was turned away!"
Li Jingye was a little surprised: "You just said that your father is my grandfather's old general. He is also a veteran general in the army. How can we turn you away?"
Qiu Shenji blinked: "Perhaps it's because my father is a bit maverick. When the old Duke went to conquer the Turks in the past, he was the military commander of Tongmo Road and had only one deputy. Hasn't the British Duke remembered it yet?"
Li Jingye didn't pay attention just now. He only heard that it was his grandfather's old army. Then he realized that the other party's identity was very unusual: "In the battle to destroy the Turks, Taizong appointed the commander-in-chief of the five-way march. My grandfather was indeed the commander-in-chief of the Tongmo Road march. At that time,
The deputy is...General Qiu?"
His expression suddenly froze, his hand trembled suddenly, and he couldn't hold the cup, and it hit the ground with a clang.
Qiu Shenji's smile slowly faded: "The British Lord is not satisfied with my reception?"
Li Jingye stammered: "It turns out to be Qiu Jiyi... Look at my memory... Our families are old friends... We even played together when we were children..."
Qiu Shenji bared his teeth and said, "We are indeed old friends. Unfortunately, after the old Duke passed away, your mansion no longer looked down on us. When I first wanted to become an official, I asked to go to your mansion, but in the end I couldn't even get in.
That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised when I saw a British gentleman coming to the Imperial Guard as a guest!”
As both generals, Li and Qiu were very close at first. Li Ji was a well-rounded person and could not offend anyone. Even he had a good relationship with Qiu Xinggong.
But as soon as the two old generals passed away, people who Qiu Xinggong had offended in the past began to look bad to the Qiu family, and the British government immediately kept them at a distance.
To be fair, this is not actually the fault of the British government. Who made Qiu Xinggong have low emotional intelligence and not know how to behave? But Qiu Shenji can hold grudges very much.
He originally hated the rich, and was usually most envious of those high-ranking children who were able to secure promotions without doing anything. The British prince Li Jingye was even more of a classic. Coupled with this past, when he saw this Lai Nei
Wei and Qiu Shenji even took off their Fei robes, which they never left behind, just to give each other a surprise.
Now Li Jingye felt particularly pleasantly surprised, and his body started to tremble: "We are both descendants of Guanzhong... we have something to talk about..."
Qiu Shenji picked his ears and said, "The British Master said this as if he has been tortured. You haven't been hung up yet. Aren't we talking properly?"
Li Jingye was about to cry. He suddenly thought of why he came in, and said wisely in a hurry: "That captain of the bodyguard Jin Renwen... I have indeed seen him before... I will explain!"
Qiu Shenji did not delay the business, let the recorder start recording, and said slowly: "Let's talk!"
Li Jingye racked his brains to recall: "The guard was tall, more than six feet tall, with a burly body... His face was slightly serious, and he could be called a dignified appearance. That's when I paid attention... By the way, he also believed in Buddhism.
The steward of my family at that time also believed in Buddhism, and the two of them even exchanged Buddhist teachings... Unfortunately, the steward has passed away, and the two of them may have had private contacts..."
Qiu Shenji listened and smiled again: "Didn't the Duke remember it very clearly?"
Seeing his smile return, Li Jingye breathed a sigh of relief and said with a dry smile: "Qiu Jiyi asked, how dare I hide anything? Can I leave now? Qiu Jiyi, please rest assured, our two houses will have more contacts in the future!"
Qiu Shenji instantly darkened his face: "Let's go? It's too late to explain now. Before, Leader Li asked you. With all your concealments, are you looking down on my leader of the inner guard, or do you intend to sow discord between me and Leader Li?"
Li Jingye was stunned.
Qiu Shenji ordered his men: "Record it down that the British Duke had previously shied away from responsibility, and only after entering the inner guard did he reveal the suspect's physical characteristics, and seemed to blame the blame on the deceased steward of the house."
Li Jingye suddenly changed his color: "Qiu Jiyi, how can you confuse right and wrong like this?"
Qiu Shenji said: "Let's record it again. The British Duke first relied on his family background in the hope of favoring personal relationships. After he failed to succeed, he began to insult the internal security officer Yiyi."
Li Jingye was shocked and angry. He was an arrogant person to begin with, and he became completely angry after being tricked like this. He shouted: "Qiu Shenji, I am a first-rank Duke, a third-rank minister, and a ninth-rank minister. Even if you have worked hard,
, you can’t bring me down even if you accuse me! I won’t let you go after I get out, and even the children of Guanzhong will not let you go!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qiu Shenji couldn't help but laugh, and this time his smile was much more sincere: "Record these words intact and present them to His Majesty when the time comes."
His writing pen was flying like flying paper. After recording, Qiu Shenji took the case record and read it carefully. He had an idea in his mind and waved his hand: "Take him into the inner prison and choose a clean prison. Don't treat this first person badly."
A prince in prison!"
The inner guard immediately stepped forward, and Li Jingye screamed and struggled: "I am the Duke! Who dares to touch me! Who dares to touch me!!"
Seeing that several internal guards did not dare to be cruel despite the resistance of the opponent, Qiu Shenji's face darkened: "A few more people, please be careful with your movements, don't really hurt this person, after all, it is the country of Xijue."
Sir, how can I drag a high official of the imperial court? Put him in the inner prison!"
"yes!!"
Five or six people here grabbed the arms and legs together and directly lifted up Li Jingye, who was crying for his father and mother, and carried him into the inner prison. On the other side, Wu Chengsi was asking Jin Ren to hide and seek.
When he first entered the inner guard, Wu Chengsi was actually a little weak in the legs and felt very guilty. But the more he felt like this, the more he saw the calm expression of Jin Renwen who was mocking him in front of him, the more furious he became, and he kicked him up
.
Then Jin Renwen moved out of the way nimbly, and Wu Chengsi stumbled and almost fell. He screamed in anger and rushed towards him.
All the internal guards pointed and pointed, as if they were watching a joke. Guo Yuanzhen was also enjoying it, but he couldn't help shaking his head secretly: "No wonder the Queen Mother is so angry that she doesn't want to see this nephew anymore. He looks like a businessman, but he still holds a high position..."
When Qiu Shenji dealt with Li Jingye and came over, Wu Chengsi was even tripped to the ground by Jin Renwen. When he saw it, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on?"
Guo Yuanzhen explained, and Qiu Shenji raised his eyebrows: "Wu's son is the Duke of the country after all. Before he is convicted, I dare not take action directly. Has this Silla hostage been so arrogant before?"
Guo Yuanzhen shook his head: "I don't know, but from Silla, how dare you act so arrogantly in our Tang Dynasty?"
Qiu Shenji looked at Jin Ren, who was also looking slightly pale, and raised his lips: "That would be interesting, let's separate them!"
The inner guard then stepped forward and separated the two people.
Qiu Shenji waved, and the two were brought in front of him. He looked at them with a half-smile and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Jin Renwen stood on the spot and explained: "It was Zhou Guogong who attacked me first. I just didn't want to be beaten by him."
Wu Chengsi gasped and said: "Huh... If you hadn't stopped me... I would have beaten... beaten him to death... Huh..."
Qiu Shenji said: "Then we won't stop him now, you go and beat him!"
Wu Chengsi was startled, looking at the notorious internal guard Ji Yiyi, he was a little scared and did not dare to say anything.
Compared to the Wu clan's disciples who had a lot of dealings with the inner guards, Jin Renwen didn't know much about Qiu Shenji. Seeing his obvious bias, his face changed slightly and he began to argue: "Qiu Jiyi, what are you talking about?
?I’m here to cooperate with the investigation and I don’t deserve to be treated like this!”
Qiu Shenji smiled: "Please tell me."
Jin Ren asked: "My captain of the bodyguard was no longer around more than ten years ago. He did cause misunderstandings with Li Ge because of worries about gain and loss. I am also willing to cooperate with you to investigate the case, but this is not the reason for you to execute him to extract a confession."
!”
Qiu Shenji nodded slightly: "He is neither arrogant nor humble, and he is very good at finding reasons. But General Jin, can you predict the future?"
Jin Renwen was startled: "What do you mean by this?"
Qiu Shenji said: "When Mr. Li came to visit, you didn't know what he wanted to ask about. It was probably about your captain of the bodyguard. At that time, you had already made many gestures and showed resistance. What were you guarding against at that time?"
Jin Renwen opened his mouth and fell silent.
Qiu Shenji stood up, walked around Jin Renwen twice, and said with a smile: "General Jin Renshou Jin, you have a lot of scheming and a little cleverness, but it is precisely because of these performances that I smelled a big case from you.
smell!"
"Although this Zhou Guogong has a bad reputation now, he is still a first-class Duke. There are superiors and inferiors in the court. If you, a third-class duke, provoke him, it is your fault. You are already in danger. Why do you still do it?
What about doing something like this?
"The reason is very simple. You want to have a fight with him, turn a public matter into a personal feud, and shift your attention to your conflict with a prince..."
Having said this, he came to the front of Jin Renwen, and the big-faced plate came up to him, breathing into the other person's face: "I have interrogated many prisoners, and some prisoners did not hesitate to explain some small cases in order to cover up their major crimes.
Trying to muddle through, do you think you are such a person?"
Jin Ren asked and his pupils shrank: "I don't know what you are talking about..."
Qiu Shenji smiled: "Of course you know what I mean, and it is precisely because of this that I am more interested in you. Just imagine that offending the Duke is a small mistake, what is the big crime you want to cover up?"
Jin Renwen tried his best to suppress his emotions, but under Qiu Shenji's sinister eyes, he couldn't help showing a look of horror.
"It seems my judgment is correct!"
Qiu Shenji nodded and suddenly kicked out.
Jin Renwen was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground: "What are you doing! Ah——"
Qiu Shenji didn't answer at all. He bullied him with his big and round body, and kicked him hard and accurately. He directly kicked him into a gourd, and even kicked him all the way to the inner prison.
Guo Yuanzhen and others were not surprised and followed, leaving only the frightened Wu Chengsi shivering behind.
There was only a clang as the cell door closed, locking the shrill screams inside the inner prison.
After a while, the cell door opened again, and Qiu Shenji's round head poked out again, grinning at him:
"Duke Zhou Guo, please rest here slowly. If Liu Lang comes back, tell him for me that it will not be difficult for these two people to interrogate them, and they will tell you everything soon!"
