Qi Yunxiao didn't care at all. He only told the dragon guards to keep all today's guests in the house and entertain them.
More than a dozen guests were sent to their respective courtyards, and each was assigned two guards and two servants to serve them.
Duke Wei went over one by one and explained: "I'm really sorry. Duke Ding has been poisoned. It hasn't been found out who it is yet. I believe that everyone is advancing and retreating with me. Please wait for a few days. As long as I take over,
I believe that the methods of people in the dark will be defeated by themselves."
Naturally, some people are unwilling and make excuses, such as Anding Hou.
Marquis Anding looked anxious: "Master Guo, I am naturally willing to cooperate, but my old mother is seriously ill now. I came here at short notice today. If my old mother is not around because of me..."
There is no need to say the next words. It only expresses this concern that Duke Wei should not keep him anymore.
But Duke Wei was a tough man: "Do we need to ask the imperial physician to go to the Anding Marquis Mansion to check the old lady's pulse?"
Marquis Anding looked troubled: "Our Marquis Mansion has not had any serious errands for many years, so how can we frequently invite imperial doctors to diagnose our pulse?"
Duke Wei waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I'll ask my son-in-law to go and beg Your Majesty right away."
"This..."
Marquis Anding had no idea that Duke Wei would play his cards out of the rules, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
After the Marquis Anding was settled, Duke Wei sent someone to the Marquis Anding's mansion to report the news. The Dragon Guards had already invited the governor of the capital to come...
Mr. Fu Yin felt that the matter was of great importance and reported it directly to the Ministry of Justice. Soon the news reached the imperial court.
His Majesty was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a strict investigation.
Because they had to ask one by one, under the imperial edict, no one who came to the banquet that day could leave. The Ministry of Punishment also specially sent guards to replace the guards previously sent by the Duke of Wei. Even the food and drinks in and out of the courtyard of the guests were required.
Let the guard check it first...
In the study of Duke Wei, Qi Yunxiao sneered: "Since someone wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble, just stay."
It's easy to get in, but not so easy to get out.
Who poisoned me? The truth doesn’t matter.
Waiting for Duke Wei to take office in two days, there will be no use of any strategies.
Andinghou, who poisoned the back, was only in his forties, in the prime of life, but at this time he seemed to be sick, huffing and sweating in the room.
He originally thought he could take advantage of the chaos and leave. As long as the people left, it would be easy to eliminate the traces.
But who would have thought that the people from the Ministry of Punishment would arrive so quickly, and they would disperse them all and put them under house arrest in the Weiguo Palace?
The Ministry of Punishment's investigation spread quickly, and Duke Dingguo's government also received the news. But at the same time, they also received a message from Duke Dingguo's wife to "be patient and don't be impatient."
Although Duke Dingguo was anxious, he obediently chose to wait for the news at home.
And when the news completely spread, it was only in the evening.
Shen Zhongyi was in his fifties after all. He didn't sleep all night last night and was very nervous. Today was another highly stressful day. In the evening, he couldn't hold it anymore. He said to Qi Yunxiao: "I'll go to sleep for a while. You'll be here later." Call me."
Qi Yunxiao looked at it but he was in high spirits, as if he didn't stay up late last night: "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
Although people from the Criminal Department were investigating the case and sent many guards over, Qi Yunxiao did not dare to be careless at all: King Cheng would not give up, and the next time would be even more troublesome.
Let Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu take their children to rest in the small room next to the study, and send dragon guards to surround the study. Qi Yunxiao sat on the chair in the study, looking at his father-in-law sleeping soundly on the couch, his eyes like a hawk. Usually looking out the window again.
King Cheng is indeed anxious.
Today, I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to poison Duke Ding to death, and then frame it on Duke Wei. Your Majesty must give Duke Ding an explanation. It will be impossible for Duke Wei to take over as the commander of the Western Beijing Army as scheduled, and it will be even more likely. This is the end of taking over.
But who would have thought that Duke Dingguo would be saved by Shen Qingyu.
What he didn't expect was that Qi Yunxiao and Wei Guogong would quickly put all the guests present under solitary house arrest.
Now that the Ministry of Punishment has intervened, but Marquis Anding has not escaped, it means that he may be exposed and then confess himself...
This idiot!
Is it because I haven’t fought for so long that my brain is rusty?!
King Cheng looked at Hu Yanshan, who had just arrived in a hurry.
Hu Yanshan could no longer care about anything else. He asked a confidant to disguise himself as himself and squat in the camp of the Jingxi Army, while he came to see Prince Cheng for ideas.
King Cheng said with a dark face: "Cheng Ping was tricked by Qi Yunxiao last night. According to the intelligence report, Qi Yunxiao's kung fu was much higher than that of Cheng Ping. He was knocked down by Qi Yunxiao within a few strokes. After that, so many dead soldiers were sent out, but they were not at all. The opponent of the Dragon Guard."
Hu Yanshan also had a dark face: "Then what does His Highness say we should do?"
King Cheng glared at Hu Yanshan and asked angrily: "You have been leading the Jingxi Army for so many years, but don't you have any of your own people?"
Hu Yanshan hesitated for a moment: "There is some, but the kung fu is not outstanding..."
If others can fill the hole, who would be willing to waste their own people?!
When King Cheng thought of the dragon guards, he was speechless: If he is not capable enough, what is the difference between giving away his head?
But if you are looking for someone with higher kung fu than Qi Yunxiao...
King Cheng thought for a while and said to Hu Yanshan: "Bring some people over there, they must be able to stop the dragon guards. I'll look for people with good kung fu here..."
When Shen Qingyu brought the food into the study, she saw Shen Zhongyi snoring in his sleep.
But Qi Yunxiao was sitting on a chair, thinking about something while facing the map of the capital in front of him.
Shen Qingyu didn't interrupt him and just put the dinner on the small table.
Qi Yunxiao raised his head and came over to eat.
Shen Qingyu saw the black eyes under his eyes and frowned slightly: "Why don't you take a break after eating and get up again if there is any movement outside?"
If you continue like this, your reaction will slow down and you may not be able to handle things more efficiently.
Qi Yunxiao gulped down his meal, nodding as he ate: "I'll take a squint later."
There is a couch in the study, and my father-in-law is sleeping.
There is a bed in the small room next door, and the two children are sleeping there.
He didn't dare to leave the study now, so he had to deal with it on the chair.
Shen Qingyu felt distressed, and took the quilt from the next room and placed it on the fairly wide couch: "You and dad can make a living together?"
Qi Yunxiao didn't want to make do with it, but thinking about the situation he might face tonight, he decided to compromise.
He finished his meal in a few mouthfuls, took the quilt and spread it next to Shen Zhongyi, fell down and fell asleep.
Shen Qingyu put the dishes and chopsticks into the space with gentle hands. She sat aside and looked at the two men who were tired and fell asleep. For the first time, she felt: Could it be that she was too lacking in love before?
So when you travel through time, Qi Yunxiao will be by your side?
Obviously he didn't have to participate in this matter, but he chose to stay sleepless to accompany him and his parents through the difficulties.
This affection made Shen Qingyu reflect for the first time: Perhaps, she should cherish him.
