The Boss Your Majesty Is Looking For Has Always Been Me. Chapter 24
byPleading to no avail
Qin Zhi keenly noticed the loophole in Wu Yu’s words, “Having two knives in the abdomen only proves that the murder weapons were double knives. What is the cause of death?”
Wu Yu curled his lips, “I don’t know. But there are witnesses who saw Qiao Heng holding two knives, and the two knives were in the luther master’s belly, and blood was flowing like a stream.”
Qin Zhi approached Wu Yu, “Master Wu just said that Qiao Heng was holding two knives, and the two knives were in the abdomen of the luthier, but he didn’t say that Qiao Heng was holding the two knives and stabbed into the abdomen of the luthier, right?”
Wu Yu was half a head shorter than Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi gave him a strong sense of oppression, like Mount Tai, with a chilling aura. He frowned slightly, “Yes, so what.”
“So what?” Qin Zhiqi smiled, “Master Wu, as an official of the Ministry of Justice, doesn’t understand the difference between these two statements.”
Wu Yu was looked down upon and said sternly: “How could that be?”
“Since Mr. Wu knows.” The anger in Qin Zhi’s eyes was as real as burning through the dog officer who was carelessly handling the case. “Why don’t you examine the violinist’s body and confirm the cause of death before making a judgment?”
Wu Yuxiang was stunned by the question, choked for a moment, rolled his eyes and said, “Do you think I don’t want to test it?”
Qin Zhi: “Then test it.”
“But the body is gone.” Wu Yu replied helplessly.
“What does ‘gone’ mean?”
“It just disappeared, disappeared out of thin air.”
Qin Zhi: “The body is gone, you look for it!”
Wu Yu: “I have no clue, you can do it?!”
Qin Zhi’s always good temper was completely shattered by this series of outrageous things.
“There is no definite evidence at all. We just rely on the so-called witnesses and the murder weapon to convict. Is this the charter of your criminal department for handling cases?! I’m going to testify against you in front of His Majesty!!!”
Qin Zhi walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Wu Yu curled his lips thinking about the rumors about “male favorites”. Even if His Majesty came here, he couldn’t explain it clearly.
Not long after, Qin Zhi strode back with a solemn tone, “Before I come back, I ask Master Wu to protect my brother’s body, otherwise, I’m not sure what will happen.”
Wu Yu was indeed frightened by Qin Zhi’s sinister tone, but he was from Han Zhong and would not take this matter to heart.
Just a nobody who surrendered.
He left humming a little tune.
Qin Zhi quickly returned to the palace and asked to see King Jiang, but King Jiang stayed in the imperial study all day.
It wasn’t until dusk fell that Li Cifang came out and said, “General Yuen Long, His Majesty doesn’t want to see you. You’d better go back and rest first.”
Qin Zhi’s face was anxious, “Li Naiguan, did you say that I have something extremely important?”
Li Ci’s face was stern, “General Yuen Long, what is your Majesty’s busy business, which one is not a national event, and which one is not an extremely important matter? Don’t be ignorant and embarrass Your Majesty.”
“Not sensible?”
Qin Zhi tilted his head slightly, his face showing a little doubt and a little grievance, “I…”
After standing outside the hall for several hours without water or rice, his voice became obviously hoarse, but this was not entirely due to the lack of water or rice.
He suddenly knelt down to Li Ci and said, “Li Neiguan, please go and report to me again. I really have to face the Holy Spirit today!”
Li Ci was startled and quickly went to help him, “General, you can’t help me! Get up, get up!”
“Li Naiguan, please.” Qin Zhi’s eyes were clearly stained with sparkle. Li Ci had never seen such a fragile look in the eyes of the heartless Qin Zhi.
“Okay. The general will start first, and we will go and pass the news again.”
“Thank you, Li Neiguan.” Qin Zhi did not stand up, but knelt down, showing great piety.
Li Ci looked back at the crouching figure and sighed without any trace.
After a cup of tea, Zhidao finally spoke and asked Qin Zhi to go in.
When Qin Zhi stood up, his knees shook slightly. He calmed down for a while before walking in.
As Li Ci said, King Jiang is still approving memorials and busy with important matters.
He knelt down respectfully again and said, “I, Qin Zhi, would like to pay homage to Your Majesty.”
King Jiang did not call out. Qin Zhi was mentally prepared. He straightened his posture and waited for King Jiang to ask.
After a long silence, a cold voice came from the superior, “I insist on meeting Gu because I want Gu to make the decision for your brother, huh?”
This remark was obviously sarcastic.
In the past, King Jiang’s disdain for Qin Zhi was also very obvious. Qin Zhi felt that it was irrelevant and could pretend to be ignorant.
What he was encountering now was not his own problem, and he couldn’t bear it any longer.
“Your Majesty, there is no evidence of Qiao Heng’s murder. We cannot convict him hastily. However, the victim’s body disappeared out of thin air. It will not be easy to recover it for a while. I beg your Majesty to allow me to handle Qiao Heng’s posthumous affairs and cooperate with the Criminal Department to investigate the case.”
Where Qin Zhi couldn’t see, the corners of King Jiang’s mouth were lowered a lot.
“He is a suspect. If he is alive, he should stay in the prison of the Criminal Department until the case is investigated. Now that he is gone, he should also be detained in the Criminal Department. How can you let me allow you?”
Qin Zhi’s eyebrows twitched, he raised his head anxiously, and spoke eloquently: “Your Majesty, if the body of the victim is not found for a day, will Qiao Heng have no peace for a day? Your Majesty, they all trusted their ministers and that’s why they surrendered to the Jiang Kingdom. You can’t let him die miserably in a foreign land and not be able to rest in peace because he is just a nobody.”
King Jiang stood up and said, “How outrageous!!! Qin Zhi, you are really arrogant because of your favor. Are you blaming Gu?!”
King Jiang’s superior aura was diffused. Qin Zhi rarely saw such a king, and since his intention was not to accuse, he subconsciously apologized.
“Your Majesty, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for being presumptuous.” He softened, “Your Majesty, if you care about me, you will become confused. Although Qiao Heng is young and energetic, he has a good heart. Please give him some dignity, Your Majesty.”
“Decent?”
Qin knew he was wrong, but King Jiang was still angry.
“Your dignity is given to you by Gu Chong. If all cats and dogs have to be given dignity by Gu, won’t Gu be forced to death from exhaustion?”
Qin Zhi’s face turned pale and he stopped talking.
The doubts that had always been in my heart were brought together into a circle by these words, and any vague areas gradually became clear.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, “Your Majesty, I believe that even if Qiao Heng and the others are descendants of a foreign country, as long as they are loyal to you, they should be your people.”
The initial impulse slowly faded away, and Qin Zhi’s voice was firm and powerful, “Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs. Heaven and earth treat all things equally, how can your majesty treat Qiao Heng and the others as just cats and dogs. Please forgive me for disagreeing.”
King Jiang was originally just angry that Qin Zhi disturbed his “chess game”. After hearing this, he was even more angry and clenched his teeth, and the veins on his forehead popped out.
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked down, and looked down at the kneeling Qin Zhi, “How qualified is it for you to use heaven and earth to teach Gu Buren, and in what capacity do you teach Gu Buren. Huh?”
Qin Zhi looked up and felt a little sore, but he didn’t want to lower his head.
His Adam’s apple twitched slightly and he said: “I think that your Majesty and I have a relationship of mutual trust. If your Majesty is willing to use me, I will give you loyalty, including the loyalty of those who trust me. I am just admonishing and fulfilling the duties of a minister. Then in what capacity do you think I am admonishing?”
“Advice?” King Jiang raised his eyebrows, “What an advice. So, you are a loyal minister, but you are a foolish king who is blind and deaf?!”
“I have no such intention. Your Majesty, you know this.” Qin Zhi’s eyes were bright, as if he had suddenly made a decision. He neither spoke impulsively nor compromised.
“I don’t know.” King Jiang is a king after all. He has never been scolded like this, so how could he be willing to go down such an obscure step?
After the confrontation just now, he calmed down, but he still refused to let go.
“You keep saying that you want to be fair, but you want to give preferential treatment to your brother. This is contradictory. Where do you put the laws of our Jiang Kingdom? Please go back. I still have memorials to approve, and I can no longer accompany you in the drama of loyal ministers admonishing.”
After saying that, King Jiang turned around and went back to the imperial court, dealing with the memorial on his own and no longer paying attention to Qin Zhi.
Qin Zhi raised his head and looked at King Jiang for a long time, his eyes bright and clear, and finally replied, “The law is nothing more than human feelings. I thought that your Majesty would be willing to trust me.”
King Jiang’s hand holding the memorial paused slightly, but he did not reply.
Qin Zhi was not annoyed. He stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his knees, wondering if he was hiding something.
“That minister has gone back. Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body and rest early.”
Qin Zhi lives in a side hall of the king’s palace. King Jiang doesn’t want to meet him and plans to spend the night in the imperial study.
When the sky broke at dawn, Li Ci said that Qin Zhi had not returned to the side hall. King Jiang said “hmm” and didn’t say anything, but his face obviously darkened again.
It was not until early morning that the news of Qin Zhi finally came——
“Your Majesty! There was a fire in the morgue of the Ministry of Punishment. General Yuen Long insisted on entering the fire scene to snatch Qiao Heng’s body. Now both the man and the body have come out, but General Yuen Long has been burned in many places and fell into a coma. The Ministry of Punishment came to ask Your Majesty to send an imperial doctor quickly to save lives.”
