King Qi fell down on his chair, "Oh my God!"

Soon, someone went to the Ministry of Punishment to report that a boat on the Xisu River caught fire. The three people on the boat were not able to escape and were burned to death in the fire.

People from the Criminal Department immediately went to the Xisu River to investigate. Someone recognized King Qi in a nearby painting boat and said that a fire broke out in the painting boat shortly after King Qi left.

The boatman who left the boat when the King of Qi was crossing also testified that when he left, smoke started coming out of the boat.

This case was sent back to the Jingzhao Prefecture by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for handling.

Since it was the Ministry of Punishment that came into contact with the case first, Yu Wenhao had no room for favoritism and could only handle the case based on superficial evidence. As long as he was biased, the trouble would be transferred from King Qi to him.

Without any warning, the other party seemed to have them all in one fell swoop, but they didn't even know who the enemy was.

The King of Qi was the current prince, the emperor's legitimate son, and had a distinguished status. When there was only preliminary evidence of oral confession, he did not need to be detained. He was only temporarily relieved of his duties in Jingzhao Mansion and was confined to the back office of Jingzhao Mansion.

Available for summons at any time.

King Qi felt deeply defeated. He wanted to find the murderer for Lu Yuan, but he didn't know that he was involved.

Yu Wenhao entered the palace to report and presented an iron plate.

Emperor Ming Yuan was stunned. This iron plate had always been on his body. He didn't even know when he lost it.

Yu Wenhao said helplessly: "Father, Lao Qi is now being held in Jingzhao Mansion, but he has no way to defend himself, let alone give up this iron plate. What do you think we should do?"

Emperor Ming Yuan's face was ashen, "I always carry this sign with me. There are not many people who can get close to me. Who do you think is the most suspicious?"

"Father doesn't know when this sign disappeared, so it's not easy to guess the person." Yu Wenhao said.

The people who could get close to him and serve him were not only the palace servants who took care of his daily life, Eunuch Mu Ru, but also the concubines and concubines. Even sometimes when discussing political affairs, there would be ministers who could come into contact with him and lend a hand or give him a considerate hand.

Cloak and outer garments.

Emperor Ming Yuan thought for a long time and had no clue, so he said angrily: "This person is lurking beside me, I'm afraid it won't be a day or two. You must find this person out, otherwise how can I sleep in peace?"

"Lao Qi's side..." Yu Wenhao looked at him.

Yu Wenhao had some ideas in mind, but he still had to listen to his father's wishes.

Emperor Ming Yuan frowned, "What else can I do? Continue to investigate and cope with the situation, and finally find a reason to let it go. There are more people in the Criminal Department, the fourth one. You and the fourth one can sum up and tell him, I want the seventh one."

Just get rid of the charges and come out. The purpose of framing him is to divert attention, not necessarily to embarrass Lao Qi, so this matter will be easy for the Criminal Department and your Jingzhao Mansion to handle."

Asking for help from Prince An was what Yu Wenhao meant, so after hearing Emperor Ming Yuan's words, he felt slightly relieved.

Emperor Ming Yuan paused, and then said: "Tell Lao Qi to be patient. Since he is involved in this matter, he is bound to suffer a little. If you have a plan of suffering here, it will be easier for the Ministry of Punishment to handle it."
