Yingren heard that Luo Shiheng had made a public argument in front of him, and was extremely upset and said angrily: "There is no need to continue the trial. I will pull this traitor down and chop it down."

Two divine guards stepped forward, Qiao Mingtang raised his hand and said, "Let's wait." He walked to Yingren and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, Luo Shiheng is trying to hide it, there must be inside information. The ministers are worried. If they cannot find the behind-the-scenes, they are afraid...!" His face was full of worry.

After capturing Luo Shiheng in Maoxian, Yingren and his party brought him back to Yunshan Mansion. Yingren was worried that Luo Shiheng would reveal the matter of Baoxiang Tower, which would have a great impact on his reputation. He wanted to return to Yunshan Mansion and let the Divine Yiwei pry Luo Shiheng's teeth open.

However, when he returned to Yunshan Mansion, he had to explain to Xu Congyang who was already waiting at the headquarters.

Although Yingren was always naughty, what happened to Maoxian and his delegation this time was extraordinary. Yingren did not dare to hide it from Xu Congyang. In fact, he also wanted to ask Xu Congyang what to do next.

Although Luo Shiheng was assassinating, he was not a cat or a dog. He was a commander. His identity was really not low and it was a big deal. After Yingren calmed down, he felt that he should not do anything.

Xu Congyang immediately asked someone to hand Luo Shiheng over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. Although Yingren was a little unhappy, he had no choice but to do anything.

Luo Shiheng tried his best to argue in the lobby, which made Yingren even more angry. According to his current thoughts, he really wanted to kill Luo Shiheng with one knife, so as not to cause more trouble.

Luo Shiheng saw Qiao Mingtang whispering and sneered: "Governor Qiao, you don't have to bewitch Your Highness. Do you think that you don't know what you have?"

Qiao Mingtang looked at Luo Shiheng coldly and said lightly: "What do you know?"

Luo Shiheng said sternly: "I know that you have bad intentions, but I am not afraid of telling you that the offense of Your Highness will be borne by me. If you want to get other words from me and involve others, I will advise you to die." He said loudly: "I am the commander of the Xishan Daowei Army, the Ministry of Justice has no right to interrogate me, and you, Qiao Mingtang, do not have this qualification."

"Do I have this qualification?" Another voice came from beside me, but I saw Xu Congyang slowly walking out with his hands on his back.

He is the left censor of the Censorate and the supervisor of all officials. Not to mention the commander of the Guard Army, he is a relative of the royal family. If he violates the national law, he is qualified to be tried.

When Luo Shiheng saw Xu Congyang coming out, he didn't dare to be frivolous. He knelt down and said respectfully: "Meet the Grand Secretary!"

Xu Congyang carried his hands on his back, looked at him coldly, and asked, "Luo Shiheng, your commander's mansion has been surrounded and his family has been detained. I will ask you another question, why do you want to assassinate His Highness, King Qi?"

Luo Shiheng shook his head and said, "Grandmaster, you must have heard what the last general said just now. The last general dares not assassinate His Highness. By accident, it is the last general who fails to observe and offend him."

"You really don't know?"

"The General of the Last One has nothing to do." Luo Shiheng looked up and said, "The Grand Secretary can kill the general's head now. The General of the Last One offends His Highness, and he should have died. But the General of the Last One is a commander, without the emperor's decree to the Ministry of Justice, no one can easily kill the general. As for the general's family, the offense of the General of the Third General will not involve his family according to our Qin Criminal Law."

Xu Congyang nodded and said, "Luo Shiheng, as a minister of the court, I will not break the rules. I have already written a memorial and submitted it to the capital."

Luo Shiheng said: "The Grand Secretary is fair and honest, and I will be grateful for it." After saying this, he closed his lips tightly and said no more.

Xu Congyang waved his hand, and two divine guards stepped forward and took Luo Shiheng down.

Yingren had already come over and said anxiously: "Teacher, can you just let him go like that?"

"How can you let the assassination be taken lightly?" Xu Congyang said solemnly: "He said right. He is the commander of the Emperor Qinfeng. Even if he is guilty, he cannot be dealt with easily. You need to ask the Emperor to report to the Emperor."

Qiao Mingtang approached and whispered: "Grandmaster, Luo Shiheng is clever and wise, avoid the important things and be light...!"

"Don't be in a hurry for a moment of torture." Xu Congyang said slowly: "Luo Shiheng's attitude today is full of fighting spirit. It is not easy to ask him what useful things are."

Qiao Mingtang said: "Then next?"

"First destroy your heart, then open your mouth." Xu Congyang said solemnly: "If the heart is not destroyed, then the mouth cannot be opened. If the heart is destroyed, then the mouth must be opened." Looking at Qiao Mingtang, he said, "Governor Qiao, you still have to worry about this matter."

Qiao Mingtang seemed to understand something and nodded slightly.

Yingren was a little confused when he heard this, but Xu Congyang had already looked at him with a very serious look. Yingren was so furious that he actually lowered his head. After a while, Xu Congyang stopped and said slowly: "Your Highness, please go back to the headquarters to rest earlier." After a pause, he said: "Your Highness, I have asked the emperor to report to the emperor. Your Highness is frightened. You should return to the capital to recuperate as soon as possible, but I don't know what your Highness wants?"

Yingren was a little embarrassed.

He stole the headquarters several times in Yunshan Prefecture, but this time he did not inform Xu Congyang and led people to Maoxian, which naturally made Xu Congyang very angry.

It was just that the name of the monarch and minister made Xu Congyang not angry, but Xu Congyang asked for an order to let Yingren return to Beijing, which was naturally a reaction in anger.

"When will the teacher return to Beijing?" Yingren asked, "Are you going back to Beijing with me?"

Xu Congyang shook his head and said, "The old minister still has official duties, Your Highness will return to Beijing first."

Yingren was even more embarrassed and looked at Qiao Mingtang and said, "Governor Qiao, I want to find you someone."

Qiao Mingtang was stunned and hurriedly bowed: "Who does Your Highness want?"

"Chu Huan!" Yingren said: "Chu Huan is brave and resourceful. I just don't have a guard around me. Can I transfer him to me?"

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Chu Huan is a minister of the Qin Dynasty, and even his minister. If you want to use it, that is his blessing. But..." He hesitated a little. After all, until now, he was still very vague about Chu Huan's origin. If such a person is handed over to Yingren, if something goes wrong, he will probably be implicated.

"Just what?" Yingren asked frowned when he thought Qiao Mingtang was unwilling.

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly said, "But Chu Huan may not be suitable. There are still brave warriors in the Imperial Guard. If Your Highness allows you, I can recommend a few who are stronger than Chu Huan."

Yingren shook his head and said, "No need. I want Chu Huan."

Seeing that Yingren was already showing displeasure, Qiao Mingtang did not dare to say too much, so he hurriedly said, "I will accept the order."

Xu Congyang didn't say much, but said, "Governor Qiao, Luo Shiheng sent someone to take care of the prison, don't make any mistakes." Then he left the Ministry of Justice and Yingren's office. Qiao Mingtang was sent outside the door, watching Xu Congyang and Yingren actually boarding the same carriage.

The carriage was shivering. Yingren saw Xu Congyang's expression was a little haggard and said carefully: "Teacher, you... this time the student did not obey the teachings, so this incident happened. Please forgive me."

Although he is the prince, he is very respectful to Xu Congyang.

Xu Congyang shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, do you know that you came back with a big trouble."

Yingren was stunned.

"It would be fine if you were in Maoxian and kill Luo Shiheng directly, but if you didn't kill him, it would be a big trouble." Xu Congyang shook his head and said, "This person must not be touched again."

Yingren frowned and said, "The students also thought of killing them on the spot, but the students did not think that Luo Shiheng really had the courage to assassinate me. I was afraid that there would be other people who colluded with him, so I brought the box back and interrogated some things from him..."

Xu Congyang couldn't help but say, "I'm confused." His body leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you have to remember that Luo Shiheng's assassination was not instructed."

Seeing Xu Congyang's expression was grim, Yingren couldn't help but say, "Teacher, why do you say that?"

Xu Congyang sighed: "It's not that the old minister wants to say this, but that your highness must think this way in his heart." He lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, you shouldn't have rushed out in the lobby today, let alone come forward."

Yingren was completely puzzled.

"Talk Luo Shiheng to Qiao Mingtang, how they want to interrogate it is their business. No matter whether there is a result or not, your highness does not need to ask about it." Xu Congyang said softly: "Your Highness, remember the old minister's words, no one instructed Luo Shiheng in this assassination."

Seeing that Xu Congyang was solemn, Yingren didn't know what the old scholar was thinking.

"The old minister will arrange for Your Highness to return to the capital as soon as possible." Xu Congyang whispered: "After your nobleman returned to the capital, he was frightened by the excuse of being assassinated this time and recuperating in the palace. If nothing else, don't contact others..." Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment and finally said: "Your Highness, can you read the "Records of the Grand Historian" that the old minister gave you the last time?"

Yingren was embarrassed and said, "That...!"

Xu Congyang had already said: "Your Highness has been reading "Records of the Grand Historian" carefully. After the old minister returns to the capital, he will check his understanding of "Records of the Grand Historian". If your noble can still understand the old minister's painstaking efforts, he will read it ten or eight times. I believe that every time you read it, you will definitely have different insights."

Yingren felt that Xu Congyang's speech tonight was mysterious and strange, with some hidden heads and tails exposed, but he nodded and said, "The teacher told me that the students should obey it."

Xu Congyang looked very tired, leaning in the carriage, closing his eyes slightly, as if he was asleep.

Before Xu Congyang and Yingren returned to the headquarters, Wei Tianqing had already met Qiao Mingtang and told him about the situation of the commander's mansion. Qiao Mingtang held a teacup and smiled faintly: "Let's watch it well, don't let anyone miss it."

Wei Tianqing asked carefully: "Sir, will the interrogation of Luo Shiheng be a result?"

Qiao Mingtang put down the teacup and sneered: "Xu Congyang let go and hand over this matter to my official. What can I do? Luo Shiheng made a quibble in the court. We cannot convict him, but we can only report this matter to the court. Luo Shiheng pretended to be crazy and was so clever, so he dragged his master to save him."

"Assassination and treason are really a serious crime. No matter how much Luo Shiheng quips, he will not be able to escape." Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "As a witness, does Luo Shiheng really have the ability to escape?"

Qiao Mingtang smiled faintly and said, "Of course he can't escape." He pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "It would be a pity if he couldn't get something from him." Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Tianqing, sit down and talk." After letting Wei Tianqing sit next to him, he smiled and said, "You have followed me for many years, and you are the one who is my confidant. You have also been in the position of the Imperial Guards for many years. Do you want to move your position?"

Wei Tianqing was stunned.

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand. You are the one I value the most, so I will not let you go."

Wei Tianqing said carefully: "What do you mean by sir?"

"No matter whether someone protects him or not, Luo Shiheng can't sit in the position of the commander." Wei Tianqing picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's time to change people at this position."
