Kowloon wins

Chapter 386 Uproar (Part [-])

"Your Highness, it is clear from this court meeting that all elder brothers have joined forces in secret. If we don't take precautions early, things will be in danger."

Qi Shiwu came here this time to have an urgent consultation with the crown prince on the current situation, therefore, even though he was scolded bloody, he did not dare to slack off a bit, and when he heard the crown prince asked something serious, he hurriedly Kneeling up straight, he said something very quickly.

"So what? I'm really afraid that these rats will fail, hmph!"

The reason why the prince is so angry is that he is actually afraid that all the kings will join hands to sue the old man, but in front of Qi Shiwu, the prince absolutely refuses to admit the matter, but he snorted coldly, showing disdain His mouth was stiff.

"What your highness said is that the kings are powerful, so we must guard against them from instigating the courtiers to come up with a copy. If your majesty takes the blame, then..."

Qi Shiwu has followed the crown prince for many years, so he is aware of his nature of being fierce and introverted, fearing that for the sake of his so-called face, he will persist indiscriminately to the end, so he has to speak clearly.

"Humph!"

The crown prince is a duck, even if the meat is stewed, but his mouth is always hard, obviously worried about this, but he refused to admit it in front of Qi Shiwu, but seeing him glaring at Qi Shiwu, he was very angry. He snorted, and paced back and forth in the study like ants on a hot pot. After a long time, he suddenly stood up, glanced at Qi Shiwu with a gloomy expression, and asked in a low voice: "You Is there a charter for this, eh?"

"This……"

Qi Shiwu is a veteran of the officialdom, and he has followed the prince for a long time, so he can hear the metaphor behind the prince's cold question. There is no doubt that he wants Qi Shiwu to come forward as a scapegoat, and this is obviously not something Qi Shiwu can bear The most important thing was that Dang even was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, he had to use his brain quickly to find a way to escape. Fortunately, his brain was still bright, and he had an idea in a flash of thought, but he didn't rush He didn't want to say anything, but his eyes wandered around, making a gesture of hesitating to speak.

"You all retreat!"

The prince had already calmed down at this moment, he could understand the intention of Qi Shiwu's move, and he was not too vague. With a wave of his hand, he gave an order in a cold voice.

"twitter!"

Zhang Degao and other eunuchs, big and small, didn't want to stay in this dangerous place, nothing else, just the prince's temperament to vent his anger on others, if he couldn't agree with Qi Shiwu, looking back, it would definitely be the same. If you lose your temper, and if you are not careful, you may be angered by the prince. The consequences are not for fun. Because of this, when you hear the prince has given such an order, there is no reason for all the people not to rush to agree. All gone in a flash.

"Okay, you can talk."

The prince already made a decision in his heart, and planned to sacrifice Qi Shiwu in exchange for the understanding of the officials, but he was not in a hurry to speak out, but wanted to hear what kind of surprising method Qi Shiwu could have to win.

"His Royal Highness, the situation is urgent now, and only by cutting the mess quickly can we prevent it from happening."

The matter was very important, even though there was no one else in the study room, Qi Shiwu still subconsciously looked around, and just now he gritted his teeth and made a suggestion in a low voice.

"Huh? How sure are you?"

Although Qi Shiwu didn't say clearly how to cut the mess with a sharp knife, the prince knew the root cause immediately after hearing it, but he didn't ask for details, but raised his brows and asked in a cold voice.

"The old minister should do his best."

Although Qi Shiwu is the secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but when it comes to controlling the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it is a matter of nowhere. When it comes to the certainty of secretly manipulating hands and feet, it is really not much higher. However, the situation is compelling. If he does not want to become the prince If the scapegoat of the flag is sacrificed, then the only way to go is to take risks. Because of this, Qi Shiwu still made a resolute statement even though he felt guilty.

"I don't know about this matter. If you love Qing, please do it yourself. Let's go."

The prince has never been a responsible person, and he does not want to take any risk of failure for Qi Shiwu at all, and he is not even willing to ask about the details. If Qi Shiwu's actions are unsuccessful, the prince will definitely throw him out as a scapegoat without mercy.

"Yes, the old minister will leave."

Before Qi Shiwu came, he knew that the prince was in a rage, and the reason why he would rather be angered than bite the bullet and come to see him was to gain the support of the prince. This kind of intention is not bad, but it is a pity to meet the prince who is so merciless and ungrateful In his generation, Qi Shiwu's abacus has come to nothing. Needless to say, the unwillingness in his heart is strong. If he wants to say something again, but seeing that the prince has frowned impatiently, Qi Shiwu can't help it. If you dare to say more, you can only bid farewell helplessly...

It was half past midnight, and the night was getting a little dark. The huge capital was already pitch black, with only sporadic lights still flickering in the cold wind. The north wind howled endlessly, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, disturbing people's minds, even the prisoners who have long been accustomed to the darkness of the sky prison did not feel sleepy at this moment, most of them gathered in twos and threes to drink and drink Quacking, this is a way to pass the boring time, and the A-shaped prison is no exception. After drinking for more than half an hour, the prisoners on duty are already drunk, and their faces are hot, and they forget their appearance while laughing. Qi Shiwu, who led several Goshhas to the duty station, was greatly displeased by such a situation, and couldn't help but snorted heavily.

"Little Wang Bi kowtows to the lord!"

Qi Shiwu snorted, and the prisoners who were enjoying themselves came to their senses, hurriedly left the table, knelt down on the ground in disorder, and the leader Wang Bi came forward and sang the salute.

"Well, lead the way, I want to see Mu Chun'a immediately."

Although Qi Shiwu was extremely dissatisfied with the dereliction of duty of the prisoners, he didn't express it, he just gave the order in a cold voice.

"twitter!"

Wang Bi was only a team leader, and he was not even high enough to be in the top class. How could he dare to ask Qi Shiwu, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, what he wanted to see Mu Chun'a? Immediately determined, he hastily agreed to the promise, bowed his waist very courteously, led Qi Shiwu and others straight to the place where Mu Chun'a was imprisoned.

"Master Qi, please."

The Jiazi prison is very large and extremely gloomy, so it is not a pleasant thing to walk in. Fortunately, Wang Bi is familiar with the way, and it didn't take long to reach the ground. After opening the iron lock on the prison door, Wang Bi hurriedly retreated to the side, nodding and bowing to let Qi Shiwu go inside.

"Well, a reward."

Qi Shiwu didn't pay much attention to Wang Bi's hospitality, just let out a flat voice, then walked into the cell, and Goshha who was following him took out a few taels of silver, and gave Qian En The thankful Wang Bi sent him away, and then firmly guarded the door of the cell.

"Master Qi came here late at night, do you have any orders?"

There was a lot of noise when the prison door opened, and Mu Chuna, who had fallen asleep in a daze, was awakened unavoidably. He fumbled to light up the oil lamp on a small table next to him with a flint, and rubbed his eyes, only then did he realize that it was here. It was Qi Shiwu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, he frowned involuntarily, and asked a question in a calm tone.

"General Mu was joking. How dare I have any orders. I just came to comfort General Mu according to the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Heh, to tell you the truth, the trial of the imperial tomb is over. In a few days Today, General Mu will be able to escape from this sea of ​​misery, it is really a gratifying thing to congratulate, and I am here to congratulate General Mu on his bright future."

Qi Shiwu was originally an official of the Eastern Palace, and Mu Chun'a, who was originally the deputy commander of the Eastern Palace guards, was considered an old acquaintance. With a chuckle, he said some words of condolence very gently.

"Oh, that's the blessing of Lord Qi."

Mu Chun'a didn't believe that Qi Shiwu came here in the middle of the night just to say such nonsense, but he didn't go to the bottom of it, he just said something coldly and perfunctorily.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, General Mu has suffered a lot these days. I have responsibilities, and it's really hard to be thorough. If there is any offence, I hope you can forgive me. Today, I will put some The food and drink is for general Mu, come on, serve the food and wine!"

Seeing the guarded expression on Mu Chun'a's face, Qi Shiwu couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but he didn't turn back when he opened his bow, so he could only laugh dryly twice, and said something apologetically, and finally raised his voice again After a short drink, Geshha, who was waiting outside, respectfully agreed, and walked in from the prison door with a big food box, walked to Mu Chun'a's side, and put the food in the box. He put all the dishes on the table one by one, took out a jug of wine and a wine bowl, and placed them in front of Mu Chun'a.

"This wine is a gift from the emperor, and it was specially rewarded by His Highness the Crown Prince. This kind of grace is really enviable. General Mu, please."

Mu Chun'a obviously couldn't believe Qi Shiwu's good intentions, even if the food and drink were served, he would not move his chopsticks, but just stared at Qi Shiwu warily, seeing this, Qi Shiwu couldn't help feeling a little numb, and hurried After a few dry laughs, he urged again.

"Since it was given by His Royal Highness, how about asking Mr. Qi to enjoy it?"

The more Qi Shiwu tried to persuade Mu Chun'a, the more suspicious he became, and he refused to touch the food and drinks. Not only that, but he also led Qi Shiwu's army instead.

"Hey, this wine was bestowed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and it can only be enjoyed by General Mu alone. I dare not overstep it. Why, General Mu refuses to drink it, then please drink the fine wine, come and pour it for me! "

Seeing that Mu Chun'a was so vigilant, even Qi Shi Wudang was impatient, fearing that if he procrastinated for too long, he would cause trouble, so his expression became serious, and he drank coldly.

"twitter!"

When Qi Shiwu gave such an order, the Geshhas who were waiting at the prison door dared not be negligent, and Qi Qi complied, so they rushed forward...
