Knowing that the Prime Minister Wu was the murderer behind the scenes, the Grand Master shook his head and sighed.
Wen Xiang felt a mixture of emotions, including joy and surprise.
I am happy that my old rival has finally fallen, and I am surprised that the military minister is so stupid that he resorted to such a dirty trick, but it is his own fault and he will not survive!
Qin Yi was full of disbelief, but he really didn't understand how the prime minister's badge could be counterfeited?
He couldn't help it, and immediately thought to himself, "System, use the prompt function, how did the Prime Minister's badge be taken away and counterfeited?"
The neutral voice of the system sounded in his ears, "Using the prompt function requires corresponding exclamation points. The system will cost 250,000 exclamation points to answer this question. Does the host continue to ask?"
I'll go. Is it so expensive?
Qin Yi didn't expect that this problem would be so expensive. He soon understood that if it involves big conspiracies and big secrets, but he has no idea about it, it will be very expensive.
Before, he still had 250,000 exclamation points, but after asking several questions and spending more than 10,000 exclamation points, it was no longer enough, so he had no choice but to give up.
But suddenly, an idea occurred to him, and he immediately asked secretly, "Changing the question, is Prime Minister Wu the murderer behind the scenes?"
Although he believed in the military minister, the facts before him made him wonder whether his belief was correct, so he wanted to ask.
He is 70 to 80 percent sure that Prime Minister Wu is not the murderer, so this question should not be expensive.
"Using the prompt function requires corresponding exclamation points. The system will cost 5,000 exclamation points to answer this question. Does the host continue to ask?"
"Ask!"
"To the host's question, the system's answer is: No, the host is welcome to use the prompt function again."
Qin Yi was relieved after hearing this.
Fortunately, Wu Xiangzhen is not the murderer.
At this moment, a cold female voice rang out, "Inform me of my decree and put Prime Minister Wu into prison for interrogation!"
Qin Yi was shocked when he heard this. He quickly looked up and saw a trace of sadness and anger on the empress's face.
She had no idea that the Prime Minister who supported her ascension to the throne and helped her deal with many troubles would actually be a traitor.
She trusted the other party but was betrayed, which made her extremely angry. She also understood that with the solid evidence, it would be difficult to convince the public if the military minister was not jailed.
As for some doubtful points, let the Ministry of Punishment interrogate them carefully.
Wen Xiang and the Grand Master looked at each other in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
The dignified military prime minister was actually in jail awaiting trial... The two of them couldn't help but sigh.
The grand master wanted to persuade him, but he knew that the empress had already made up her mind and his persuasion was useless, so he could only keep silent.
Qin Yi was shocked, his thoughts were confused, and many thoughts flashed through him, but in an instant, he made a decision!
Although he knew that speaking advice might get him into trouble, how could he stay out of it!
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister must have been unjustly accused! Your Majesty, please be lenient for a few days, and we will investigate and get to the bottom of it!" Qin Yi raised his hand and said loudly.
The grand master was slightly startled. He did not expect that Qin Yi would dare to persuade him at this moment, and said quickly, "General Qin, please don't bother yourself. It's better to rest for a few days and then go to the Imperial Army to resume duty!"
He knew that Qin Yi was no longer suspected and was not an accomplice of the Prime Minister. If so, he would not have exposed the Prime Minister.
Qin Yi shook his head and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, please give me three days to investigate. If no results can be found, I will be willing to be punished!"
There was displeasure in the empress's eyes, "The evidence is conclusive, what else do you want to find out?"
Qin Yi cupped his hands and replied, "This evidence may have been created by a traitor. Please don't believe it and let the general continue the investigation."
The empress narrowed her bright eyes and said in a cold voice, "I have made up my mind to hand it over to the Criminal Department for interrogation. Please don't persuade me anymore and step back."
After hearing this, Qin Yi frowned immediately, then gritted his teeth and said word by word, "In this case, I will resign!"
Wu Xiang treated him well, believed in him, and pledged his life to let him investigate the case and save himself. But now, he has allowed him to be unjustly imprisoned and suffer humiliation. How can he still have the dignity to stand in court?
Wen Xiang and the Grand Master were all shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at Qin Yi in surprise.
They never expected that Qin Yi would make such a decision!
I have to sigh, this guy is really loyal!
In order to repay the favor of the military prime minister for pledging his life, he actually ignored his official status...
But the problem is that the Prime Minister Wu is most likely the murderer behind the scenes. Although he is a pillar of Linzhan, he is about to collapse, and Linzhan will inevitably weaken. It is even more necessary for a resourceful general like Qin Yi to hold up the overall situation. How can he be allowed to leave? p>
Therefore, both Prime Minister Wen and the Grand Master looked at the empress worriedly, fearing that the latter would be angry and agree to Qin Yi's resignation.
But at this time, the empress remained silent, her red lips pursed tightly, and her bright eyes looked at Qin Yi with annoyance.
Qin Yi was not frightened, he held his head high and looked directly at the empress.
When Wen Xiang saw him, he was very frightened. He secretly sighed that Qin Yi was really a tough guy. He dared to confront the empress. He was not afraid of losing his life?
With a snort, the empress narrowed her bright eyes and frowned and said, "In that case, I will let you investigate for three days. If there is no result after three days, you are guilty of the same crime as Wu, do you dare to agree?"
If the crime of the military prime minister is confirmed, the minor case will be sent to the border area, and the serious case will be the execution of the whole family.
Qin Yi took a deep breath and said firmly, "The general will agree!"
If you try your best and still can't make a comeback, then just wait for death!
After saying this, he cupped his hands and said, "I will retire at the end of the day!"
Time is running out, he must race against time to investigate as soon as possible.
Looking at Qin Yi walking out of the imperial study, Wen Xiang had a lot of thoughts and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was full of surprise. He never expected that the empress would give in.
Although she is a woman, beautiful, dignified, and well-mannered, the empress has always been strong and decisive. Once she makes a decision, she will not change it. But she didn't expect that she would make an exception now!
Perhaps it was Qin Yi's resignation, coupled with the importance of the military minister, that forced her to give in.
I just don’t know if Qin Yi can find out anything. If he can’t, the Wu Xiang family and him... will be destroyed!
……
"General Qin, Your Majesty has an order that no one is allowed to meet the Prime Minister. If you have anything to ask, you can let the housekeeper convey it on your behalf." The Thousand Sword Guards Baihu who were guarding outside the Prime Minister Wu's Mansion said in embarrassment.
Qin Yi nodded to express his understanding.
Qian Dao Wei Bai Hu came forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, revealing the face of a young boy. There was a little fear on his immature face.
Qin Yi sighed lightly and said slowly, "Go and report that Qin Yi is here. Ask the Prime Minister if you have anything to say."
Qin Yi felt a little guilty for dragging Prime Minister Wu into the water with his own hands. He struggled in his heart for a long time before coming to Prime Minister Wu's Mansion, wanting to hear what Prime Minister Wu had to say.
Even if you scold him, you can only admit it.
The boy nodded, turned around and ran towards the courtyard.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, and a white-haired housekeeper came quickly with the boy who had just opened the door.
"General Qin, the master asked me to convey a message to you." When he came closer, the housekeeper stared at Qin Yi with a very complicated expression and said word by word, "He said, don't have any worries, don't worry about him, continue to investigate.
