Like an angry lion, Qiu Xinggong howled for a while, put down his son's body, stood up, and stared at Su Dingfang with his bloodshot eyes, as if he would open his bloody mouth and bite Su Dingfang's neck off in the next moment.
Drink all the blood!
Su Dingfang was not afraid and looked at Qiu Xinggong calmly.
The soldiers behind the two men glared at each other with their swords drawn, and as soon as their commander gave the order, they inserted the crossbow arrows in their hands into the opponent's body!
Qiu Xinggong was furious, stared at Su Dingfang, and said word by word: "Didn't you just want to explain to me? Now, give me an explanation!"
Su Dingfang breathed a sigh of relief...
It can be seen that Qiu Xinggong has not completely lost his mind. Maybe he thinks that the murderer is not him, or maybe his real target is not him... In any case, it is the best situation not to fight with each other now, otherwise once Youwuhou Wei and
The navy completely broke up and fought to the death. The consequences of that would be too serious.
Taking a breath, Su Dingfang said slowly: "I have no knowledge of this matter. I did not kill your son, and his body was not hidden by someone. I will inform the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly. I hope the general can maintain his integrity."
Calm down, don't let the real murderer go unpunished and kill someone with a borrowed knife."
He believed that a person who could fight between life and death and hold a high position would have no problem with his IQ, no matter how violent he was.
Although Qiu Shenji's body was found on the navy's ship, the navy seemed to have no excuses, but in fact it was full of loopholes.
At the very least, who kills someone and then puts the body under their noses?
Qiu Xinggong's eyes were so red that they seemed to bleed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't do this to me. I won't kill you today because I know that you are not the mastermind, but just an executioner."
, so, wash your neck and wait until I kill the mastermind before I come to take your life!"
Su Dingfang frowned and said nothing.
There is no need to argue with Qiu Xinggong at this time, he will not believe anything he says. Su Dingfang moved his eyes and looked at Qiu Shenji's body on the deck. The naked body was covered with arrow sores and wounds.
, because the blood has long been drained and has obviously been soaked in the river water, and the skin and flesh are extremely horrifying.
It's mid-summer now. Generally speaking, a corpse begins to rot and disintegrate in two or three days. However, Qiu Shenji's corpse is extremely well preserved. It has obviously been treated with antiseptic drugs and is just waiting to be displayed in front of Qiu Xinggong...
Who did it?
*****
His Majesty Li Er had not waited for King Qi and Fang Jun to arrive in Taiji Palace, but he had waited until the news that Qiu Shenji's body was found on the navy ship...
When he heard that Qiu Xinggong led the soldiers of Youwu Houwei and the navy were confronting each other on the pier in the south of the city, and that the two sides were threatening to start a war immediately, His Majesty Li Er was furious!
In the land of Gyeonggi, a military confrontation actually happened. Did he think that he, the emperor, was being transparent?
Immediately issued an order that all Youwu Houwei should return to the military camp and were not allowed to leave the camp without any reason. He ordered Qiu Xinggong and Su Dingfang to enter the palace immediately. At the same time, he ordered Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment to send their chief officers above the rank of assistant minister to thoroughly investigate the murder of Qiu Shenji.
The case will be heard by the three departments!
His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting in the Liangyi Hall, looked ashen with a hint of thunder!
After a while, King Qi Li You and Fang Jun entered the main hall one after another, looking puzzled. The two were first announced by the palace servants and then led to the Shenlong Palace. On the way, they were told that His Majesty was in the Liangyi Palace... Fang Jun just felt that something was fishy.
, but Li You was so frightened that his legs went weak!
Generally speaking, His Majesty Li Er convened the ministers in the Shenlong Palace to discuss trivial matters. Even if he punished the ministers, it was in his capacity as a "parent" and it would not be serious. However, the Liangyi Palace was completely different.
, this is the only place other than Taiji Hall where government affairs are discussed. If you put it here to discuss issues, once you are punished, you will face the national law...
Li You was most afraid of His Majesty Li Er. At this moment, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud as soon as he entered the hall. His voice was trembling: "Kowtow to my father, I know I was wrong. Please return the favor."
Father, please forgive me..."
Fang Jun was much calmer. He bowed his arms to the ground and saluted, "I have seen your Majesty."
Normally, the emperor would say "please" at this time, but now His Majesty Li Er is sitting on the throne with a gloomy face and a sharp light in his eyes, but he is silent.
If the emperor doesn't say "Pingshen", how can the ministers dare to stand up?
Li You was fine, but he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and his face was pale. He was lying on the ground without daring to raise his head. However, Fang Jun bent down to salute, but after a while his waist and spine became weak, as if he had just experienced a "three hundred rounds" battle.
, the whole person is about to be broken into two pieces...
Despite this, Fang Jun did not dare to get up.
He knows the temperament of His Majesty Li Er best. When the emperor is in a good mood, it is not a big deal to contradict him, but whenever he is in a bad mood, anyone who insists on his own merits and disrespects the etiquette will definitely piss off the emperor completely.
, that’s a hell of a lot to suffer!
I was just trying to endure it, and I was wondering why His Majesty Li Er lost such a temper?
I haven't had a bad temper recently, and I haven't done anything wrong...
There was an eerie silence in the Liangyi Palace.
His Majesty Li Er sat tall and steady, his face gloomy and silent, but in fact, his heart was filled with anger and murderous intent. Who killed Qiu Shenji, causing people's hearts to wander like a storm in the morning? He didn't think the murderer was Su Dingfang or even Fang Fang.
Jun, but now that Qiu Shenji's body was found on the navy's warship, neither Su Dingfang nor Fang Jun could escape his involvement. This made him even more angry, and he wanted to dig out the real murderer and execute him late!
Li You was so frightened that he fell on the cold floor, sweating profusely on his forehead, and did not even dare to take a breath... He was most afraid of his father, and naturally understood his father's temperament best. Generally speaking, if he came up, he would
He yelled and cursed, but nothing happened, and he slapped the sky a few times to get rid of the problem, but his sullen face now proved that he was really angry, and it seemed that it was difficult to be kind today.
Fang Jun was not as scared as Li You, but he really couldn't hold on anymore. The bending and bowing posture was more uncomfortable than running ten thousand meters. He even had the illusion that his waist would break in the next moment...
I can't help but murmur in my heart: By the way, we are also your son-in-law after all. If our waist is broken, isn't it your daughter who will suffer in the end?
But then I thought about it, and it seems that even if I lose my waist, that girl in Gaoyang will not be lonely and suffer. There is no food at home, so she can go out to hunt for wild food. That girl has a criminal record...
Thinking about it this way, I felt even more depressed.
What's going on with His Majesty today...
The inner servants and guards in the hall kept their eyes and noses, noses and hearts in mind without saying a word, just like clay-embedded pottery sculptures.
By the end, not only Li You was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, but Fang Jun was also sweating. Just when he was wondering whether he should have the courage to straighten up and save his old waist even if he was punished, he suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps outside the palace, and then the voice of a spy inside the chamber rang out: "You Wuhou, General Qiu Xinggong, and Royal Navy Commander Su Dingfang are here to see you——"
His Majesty Li Er on the throne finally spoke: "Xuan!"
The voice was low and cold, and a dark wind seemed to be blowing above the hall...
After a while, footsteps sounded at the door of the hall.
Then——
"Your Majesty! Wuwuwu, please let me make the decision!"
Qiu Xinggong's thick and sturdy figure appeared at the door of the hall, wailing loudly in his mouth, and rushed to the throne in a few short steps. Ignoring the stern guards nearby, he grabbed His Majesty Li Er's robe and cried so loudly that the whole world was shaken. Tears flowing down...
Su Dingfang followed him into the hall. With a solemn expression, he met Fang Jun's eyes, who was bending over to salute and twisting his neck to look over. He shook his head slightly, signaling Fang Jun not to say more, and then stood next to Fang Jun and bowed. He saluted and said respectfully: "The last general, Su Dingfang, has an audience with Your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er was not impatient at all because Qiu Xinggong grabbed his robe and howled. Instead, he patted Qiu Xinggong's shoulder gently and said warmly: "People cannot be resurrected after death, so don't be sad when you show respect. I promise you, The murderer must be found and his debt must be paid with blood!"
Although he was dissatisfied with Qiu Xinggong's ordinary behavior, in the final analysis, this was a loyal subordinate who had followed him in the north and south and made great achievements in military affairs. Now he has ended up with a white-haired man sending a black-haired man to his side. How can he not sympathize with him?
Qiu Xinggong burst into tears and wailed, "I have been fighting all my life. I don't want to end up as an old man and lose my son. The pain in my heart is insignificant! I hope that your majesty will consider my many years of hard work on horseback and allow you to agree." The veteran can kill the murderer and avenge this blood!"
His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, "How can the state-owned laws allow you to kill the murderer with your own hands?"
However, Qiu Xinggong was in a sad mood at the moment, so he didn't care too much about it. He gently waved his hand to repel the imperial guards who were afraid of doing something treacherous. Then he looked up at the three people in the palace and said coldly: "Get back on your feet." !”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li You got up from the ground, Su Dingfang straightened up, but Fang Jun... remained the same, his body trembling slightly.
His Majesty Li Er's eyes narrowed and he said: "Fang Jun, do you have anything to say?"
Fang Jun said: "I have nothing to say."
His Majesty Li Er's anger appeared: "Since you have nothing to say, why don't you stand up?"
Fang Jun was about to cry: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen's waist is probably broken and he can't stand up straight..."
