Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Han Yunong went out of the main hall and was taken to the side hall. He saw Qin Xiao sitting in a chair waiting, and a smile finally appeared on his lips: "Qin Xiao!"

Qin Xiao was sitting in a chair thoughtfully. Hearing Han Yunong's voice, he turned his head and looked at him. He immediately got up and said with joy, "Lord Du Lieutenant." He hurried forward and said worriedly: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Han Yunong patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder: "It's hard for you."

Zhu Dongshan followed and laughed: "If Qin Xiao hadn't come to the Criminal Ministry to report the case, it would be really difficult for our Criminal Ministry to intervene in this case. Duwei Han, you really have to thank Qin Xiao." Then he said: "You guys are here first. Wait, what you need to greet people over is, when the ministry is finished, it will naturally settle you down."

"Master Lao." Han Yunong and Qin Xiao thanked Zhu Dongshan together.

Zhu Dongshan chuckled and turned to go out.

The two sat down in the hall, Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Wei Du, you are safe and sound, I'm relieved."

"Don't worry. Let's go to Beijing. The matter is finished." Han Yunong said: "I handed the Zhezi to Shilang Zhu, and the Zhezi was presented to the palace. The saint had already seen it and knew the truth about what happened in Xiling. What should be done? The things are done, the next is life or death, so we don’t need to care."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "My lord, is it...the court still wants to condemn us?"

"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Han Yunong said, "But now, my life and death are irrelevant, and the court may not punish me."

"Fan Shangshu is brought here, I am afraid that the Ministry of War will be in trouble." Qin Xiao whispered: "During the Xiling Mutiny, the Changsheng Army did not leave the customs in time. This is a problem of the Ministry of War, and Fan Shangshu cannot shirk the blame."

Han Yunong glanced outside the door, winked at Qin Xiao, and shook his head.

Qin Xiaoxin understood.

This is in the yamen of the Xing Department. Although there are no other people in the side hall, there are all eyes and ears when talking in the Xing Department. Some words should be cautious here.

"Is the tiger head jade pendant with you?" Han Yunong asked in a low voice.

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Always carry it with you."

"That's good." Han Yunong said: "We have reported the military information of Xiling to the court, but the papers presented to the saint were written by me. It not only reported the military information of Xiling, but also all the experience encountered in the Ministry of War in the past few days. The facts are written on the booklet, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is going to investigate and handle the Ministry of War. As a witness, I cannot leave until the case is over."

Qin Xiao frowned. He used the Criminal Ministry to deal with the Ministry of War only to rescue Han Yunong, but the situation now became more complicated. Although Fan Wenzheng had no chance to attack Han Yunong again, the Criminal Ministry wanted to overthrow Fan Wenzheng, but Han Yunong was successful. With the important chess pieces in the hands of the Criminal Ministry, it is not clear how this case will develop, and Han Yunong's future is even more uncertain.

"But you didn't get involved too deeply, you just reported the case. I will put a fingerprint on the missing file later, and the disappearance case you were involved in will be closed." Han Yunong said softly: "The Criminal Ministry has no reason to keep you. After you leave the Criminal Ministry, leave the capital as early as possible and rush to Woye Town to find General Liu Jingang in Woye Town."

"Go to Woye Town?"

"Yes." Han Yunong nodded slightly, leaning close to Qin Xiao, and lowered his voice: "Liu Jingang is the general's confidant and beloved general. Before the general left Woye Town, he played to the court and recommended Liu Jingang to replace the position of General Woye Zhenwei. The army in Woye Town is now commanded by General Liu. You have a tiger head jade pendant in your hand. When you see General Liu, take out the tiger head jade pendant, and General Liu will know that you are his own, and he will naturally arrange you properly." Raise your hand lightly. Pat on Qin Xiao's shoulder: "You're in Duwei

The mansion has been with me for many years, hard-working, and clever, I don't have to worry about you when I reach Woye Town."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Lieutenant Du, let's go together. You are also a member of the Longevity Army. When the case here is over, we will leave Kyoto and go to the border together. Maybe the court will mobilize the Longevity Army out of Guan and Ping Chao. In this way, we happened to slay back to Xiling with General Liu and avenge the general and other brothers."

Han Yunong smiled faintly, and said softly: "Naturally, I want to go back to Xiling with my brothers, but I cannot leave Kyoto until this case is over."

"If you don't go, I won't go either." Qin Xiao said firmly.

Han Yunong frowned and said, "Qin Xiao, this is not a discussion with you, but my order."

Qin Xiao's lips moved slightly, but finally he didn't say anything.

When Han Yunong told Qin Xiao to leave Kyoto to go to Woye Town, Lu Junzhong was also persuading Fan Wenzheng to be a good master.

"Fan Butang's family is 27, plus the servant maid, it should be 86 people." Lu Junzhong smiled: "Of course, this is not even your old friends and relatives. In addition, you have many disciples. Therefore, if you count it all, there are five hundred without a thousand."

Fan Wenzheng stood up abruptly and said sternly, "Lu Junzhong, what do you want to do? You are going to set off a big prison again, wanting to involve the old man's family?"

"Would you like to involve your family's old age, not in the official, but in you." Lu Junzhong said indifferently: "You and I have spoken very clearly. You can't keep your life, what the saint means, you know, I also understand that I am a dog biting a man under the sage. What the owner wants to do, I have to help the owner. Now you and I know that the saint only needs a confession... your confession! "Raising his finger at Fan Wenzheng: "As long as you confess the crime, and even take the blame for some undeserved guilt on yourself, the saint will be merciful, and maybe you will not pursue your family again, and use your life to save a few hundred. Fate, isn't this deal a good deal?"

Fan Wenzheng sneered: "Do you want the old man to bear all the guilt?"

"Actually, if you are willing to recite the guilt or not, I really don't care." Lu Junzhong sighed: "Fan Butang should know that the official likes big cases. The more prisoners involved, the more interested the official. If You refuse to plead guilty, you want to spend it with me, I really can’t ask for it. I can guarantee that if you stay in the Criminal Department for one more day, there will be a few more people involved in this case. If you stay for a month, you will be affected by you. If there are no three or four hundred people, then the criminal ministry is incompetent.” Seeing that Fan Wenzheng’s eyes were already showing fear, he smiled and said, “But the saint doesn’t want this matter to be too far-reaching, so I naturally have to follow the saint’s will. , But if you don’t cooperate, if you have to set off a great prison, the official cannot ask for it."

Fan Wenzheng leaned back in the chair, his face pale and weak.

"I know what you are waiting for." Lu Junzhong said: "You just hope that the princess can come forward to save your life, thinking that the princess can say a few good things for you from the saint. But I just said that if you start from At the beginning, I wrote a letter to plead guilty, and there is still a glimmer of life. By now, do you think the princess can still speak for you? Fan Butang, I have been an official in the same dynasty for many years, so I have to spend a lot of words and talk with you. Here, I won’t persuade you anymore. It’s getting late. I will arrange for you to stay at the Ministry of Justice for one night. If you can surrender your confession tomorrow morning, the matter will stop here. Don’t involve too many people, otherwise the official will only I can handle the case according to the law."

He slowly stood up and said: "Come here, take Fan Butang down to rest."

Two officials from the Criminal Ministry came in from the outside and walked to Fan Wenzheng.

"By the way, Fan Butang, everyone knows that you have many cronies in the Ministry of War, and many of them are pulled up by you." Lu Junzhong walked two steps toward the door, seeming to think of something, and then said: "If I were you, I would More or less

Adding the names of a few officials is also good for you."

Fan Wenzheng stood up and said, "Lu Butang can rest assured that if the old man writes the book, someone will naturally be in it."

"Don't even think about adding the name of Dou Fu and Dou Shi Lang." Lu Junzhong smiled and said: "He is a witness, and since he dared to come forward to testify against you, he was prepared to be foolproof in advance."

Fan Wenzheng was taken aback.

"This time, it was not Han Yunong who pulled you off the horse. It should be Dou Yan." Lu Junzhong sighed, "It is a pity that Fan Butang is not good at employing people." He shook his head, put his hands on his back, and walked out of the main hall.

Fan Wen was looking at Lu Junzhong's gloomy back, his pupils contracted.

Lu Junzhong came out of the main hall, and Zhu Dongshan had already come forward and whispered: "Butang, how do you arrange Han Yunong?"

"Han Yunong and Dou Yan are important witnesses in this case, and they are arranged to live in the Criminal Ministry." Lu Junzhong said softly, "Is Qin Xiao still in the Yamen?"

"He is with Han Yunong." Zhu Dongshan whispered.

A smirk appeared at the corner of Lu Junzhong's lips: "Qin Xiao is no longer useful. In this case, he is irrelevant and can let him go."

Zhu Dongshan was startled and said cautiously: "Butang, you mean, let Qin Xiao leave?"

"Let Han Yunong put a fingerprint on the file of the disappearance case, and the case is closed. The following cases have nothing to do with Qin Xiao." Lu Junzhong said: "We should keep those who should stay, those who shouldn't... .. We'd better send it out." He glanced at Zhu Dongshan with weird eyes. Zhu Dongshan had followed him for many years and immediately realized that he knew that Lu Junzhong had let Qin Xiao go away, but he had great intentions. Understand, this will end the disappearance case."

The procedure for closing the disappearance case is not complicated.

Zhu Dongshan took the file that was just recorded during the day and asked Han Yunong and Qin Xiao to be brought to the Criminal Ministry for lawsuits. The two put their fingerprints on the file. Zhu Dongshan asked people to put away the file, and said with a smile: "This case is even considered. It's over. Qin Xiao, you can go now."

Qin Xiao glanced at Han Yunong. Before asking, Zhu Dongshan had already said: "Han Duwei will stay in the Criminal Ministry for a few days to help investigate Fan Wenzheng's case, but you can rest assured that Han Duwei is a witness of our Criminal Ministry. We Not only will the safety of Captain Han be guaranteed, but also food and clothing. Fan Wenzheng's case will not be delayed for too long. According to the official's estimate, it will be over in ten and a half months. Don't worry too much."

Zhu Dongshan asked them not to worry too much, but Qin Xiao was worried, and Han Yunong said: "Qin Xiao, the case is over, Lord Zhu also wants you to leave, you can leave now."

Qin Xiao hesitated, and finally said: "Master Zhu, it's getting late, I live in Sipingfang, it seems...!"

As soon as it gets dark in Kyoto, 108 squares will be sealed up, and no one can get out.

"It's a trivial matter." Zhu Dongshan smiled and said: "This official will give you a road strip. With the road strip, you can pass freely without being blocked." People signed a road strip and Qin Xiao took it. At this time, he bowed his hand to Han Yunong, and saluted Zhu Dongshan, and was sent out of the Xingbu Yamen by Zhu Dongshan.

It’s not too late to leave the Ministry of Justice. It’s just a time when Kyoto’s singing and dancing bands are lively, but Suzaku Street is deserted.

When I came here today, I rode a cart with a drum, but the drum had been collected by the Criminal Ministry, and only my horse was brought over.

Qin Xiao turned on his horse and glanced at the yamen of the black hole, knowing that a storm is just the beginning, and only hopes that Han Yunong will be safe in the storm, turning his horse's head around and urging the horse away.
