Chapter 118 The case is closed
Suddenly hearing footsteps stopping in front of his cell door, Qin Dezhao clenched his hands, opened his eyes and looked towards the door, only to see a man in a cloak standing behind the jailer.
Qin Dezhao's heart tightened, he stood up pretending to be calm, straightened his sloping skirt that was covered with weeds, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"My lord, please talk slowly!" The jailer turned and left after saluting the man respectfully.
The man took off his cloak and hat, Qin Dezhao saw that it was Gao Sheng who was beside King Liang, and felt the coldest killing intent coming from Gao Sheng's eyes, his heart beat a few beats unavoidably.
Qin Dezhao held his breath, stood with his hands behind his back, and maintained his dignity, "Lord Gao, please tell His Royal Highness King Liang that Bai Qingyan has known the list of people who have done things on the grain and grass. I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to cause trouble, so Your Highness please act as soon as possible." Prepare."
Gao Sheng glanced at the untouched water and food at the door: "Master Hou, do you know that Mr. Qin has taken the list you gave him, and the loyal servants of the Qin family, to beat the drums in front of the Dali Temple? It's so fast ...Didn't you get the advice of Master Hou?"
Qin Dezhao's face turned pale, he already guessed that Qin Lang was deceived by Bai Qingyan.
"Lord Gao, don't talk nonsense. The list was not given to Miss Bai. Miss Bai came here today and just sat here and copied a list. She didn't say anything and left without asking. The Bai family is afraid I have already mastered this list, and with Miss Bai's mentality...Your Highness needs to be careful!" Qin Dezhao expressed his loyalty, "As for that rebellious son, even if I am interrogated, I will definitely not say a word! It doesn't matter, when the Marquis handed over the general's rations, it was fine!"
"So, Master Hou is very loyal to His Highness?" Gao Sheng's voice was cold without any ups and downs.
"It's not only to be loyal to His Highness, but also to save your life! If you admit it...the word death is indispensable! If you don't admit it, you can still live if you linger." Qin Dezhao fixedly looked at Gao Sheng. sincere.
Gao Sheng drew out the dagger at his waist, and Qin Dezhao was so startled that he took two steps back, hitting the wall with his body: "Master Gao!"
"Your Highness once told Lord Hou that only the dead can keep secrets in this world!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Sheng moved in front of Qin Dezhao almost instantly, and the sharp dagger that blew his hair and cut his hair sank into Qin Dezhao's abdomen. Qin Dezhao opened his mouth wide but could not make a sound, and only the candle flame flickering on the prison wall appeared in front of him.
Gao Sheng put his arms around Qin Dezhao's neck, and moved very slowly to help Qin Dezhao kneel down, his calm eyes showed no emotion.
Gao Sheng didn't let go of Qin Dezhao until Qin Dezhao let go of his sleeve, and hid the sheath of the dagger inlaid with gems in Qin Dezhao's buckskin boots.
The knife was a good knife, and it easily penetrated Qin Dezhao's flesh, and the handle of the knife blocked the wound without leaving a trace of blood.
Gao Sheng put on his cloak and turned to leave. The jailer came to lock the door and left as if he didn't see anything.

After the news of the battle in southern Xinjiang on the 30th of the year, one incident followed another in the capital city, without giving anyone a chance to breathe.
Qin Lang, who asked himself to die a few years ago, was escorted by the guards of the Zhongyonghou soldiers, kneeling in front of the Dali Temple with the loyal servants of the Qin family, holding a brocade roster in his hand, and shouting for the Southern Xinjiang Grain Draft. on the evidence.
The emperor was particularly concerned about this case, Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin ordered Qin Lang and the loyal servants of the Qin family brought by Qin Lang to be invited into Dali Temple for detailed inquiries.
After seeing the list, the loyal servant of the Qin family believed in Qin Dezhao's statement that Qin Dezhao wanted to sacrifice one person to let Qin Lang, the eldest son, guard the glory of Zhongyonghou's mansion. Now that they have regarded Qin Lang as the new head of the Qin family, they will naturally speak in unison as Qin Lang discussed with them in the study just now.
Qin Dezhao's staff said that Qin Dezhao was greedy for ink because he saw that it was profitable for others to escort grain and grass.
But because he felt ashamed in his heart, it was the first time he did such a thing as greedy ink, and he exposed a lot of lies and was taken advantage of by the people below. Originally, I thought everyone would be safe and sound, but I didn't expect that as long as the food and grass came to one place, Qin Dezhao would be seized to seize the other place.
In the end, these people were even more daring, and even the wheat bran was exchanged for silver taels before being transported to Fengcheng.
The staff explained in detail what ideas they had given Qin Dezhao, and how the guards of the Zhongyonghou's Mansion silenced these people, and vomited completely.
Lu Jin, the Minister of Dali Temple, took the confession of the loyal servant of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, imprisoned him, and was about to enter the palace to meet the Holy Majesty.
Qin Lang was at odds with Zhongyonghou's mansion, which was already well known when Qin Lang moved out of Zhongyonghou's mansion, not to mention that Qin Lang was a model for the children of the family who were praised by the emperor and empress, and the Bai family asked him to keep Qin Lang, Dali The minister of the temple couldn't neglect Qin Lang, so he placed Qin Lang in the side hall and asked Qin Lang to wait in Dali Temple for the time being.
Qin Lang obeyed, knelt down and pleaded guilty to the emperor's favor, and begged the minister of Dali Temple to tell the sage, willing to hand over the family property coefficient of Zhongyonghou's mansion to the state treasury, so as to atone for his father's sins.
Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin looked at Qin Lang's face full of shame, and thought of what the steward of the Zhen Guogong's mansion said when he found him, and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin!"
This case was originally thought to be a particularly difficult case by Dali Siqing. Unexpectedly, the son of Zhongyonghou sent the evidence to the case before the trial started.
The Minister of Dali Temple was also somewhat grateful to Qin Lang, so when reporting back to the emperor, the Minister of Dali Temple spoke a few words for Qin Lang without any trace.
The emperor didn't read the testimony handed in by the Minister of Dali Temple. He closed his eyes and listened to the ins and outs of the matter from the Minister of Dali Temple, and he was immediately furious.
"Marquis Zhongyong is so courageous!" The emperor gritted his teeth, burning with anger, and was about to yell at Qin Dezhao when he suddenly stood up as if he had figured out something.
"Liu Huanzhang deceived King Xin with military rations, but Liu Huanzhang was on the front line... how did he know that the rations would not reach Fengcheng?!" The emperor frowned.
The Minister of Dali Temple respectfully saluted and said: "According to Zhongyong Hou's family servant, the records on this list are all officials who have been made into accidental deaths! There is another one who is still alive... that is Liu Huanzhang's wife and brother Sun Yiming, who died at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month last year. The people sent by Qin Dezhao failed to kill Sun Yiming, but showed their traces and killed two guards! Coincidentally... this case was brought up by Jing Zhaoyin An Jingguo with his ministers, saying that they had searched all the people who had made enemies with Sun Yiming , and did not find out why! Now it seems... the case in Jing Zhaoyin's hands can be closed."
Liu Huanzhang's brother-in-law? !
