Chapter 81 Going south to handle the case Mo Qili's voice became colder and colder, as if the coldness would turn into a sharp sword in the next second and stab Feng Xiaoer's heart.
Feng Xiaoer didn't know where to start her defense, but Mo Qili seemed to have a deep grudge against her and started to torture her without saying a word.
The first instrument of torture was to peel off the fingernails raw.
This is the lightest punishment in prison.
The pliers, stained with blood and rust, were like the bloody mouth of a wild beast, approaching Feng Xiaoer...
……
The Yangxin Hall in the imperial palace was the administrative place for the emperor.
The white jade beams, glazed red tiles, cornices and golden plaques are luxurious and majestic.
Xiao Qi stood in the hall, nodded slightly, and looked respectful.
"Xiao Qi, have you heard that there are monsters in Laizhou?" The emperor frowned.
Xiao Qi did not reply immediately.
This question is too mysterious.
Especially when it comes from the emperor's mouth, you need to think carefully before answering.
If the answer is: I have heard of it would be suspected of concealing something and not reporting it.
If it is said: I have never heard of it.
That admiral of Dongchang worked behind closed doors and did not know the world's affairs, which would make the emperor feel cold and disappointed.
No matter how you answer, it is not an easy task.
Xiao Qi directly knelt down calmly: "Please forgive me for your sins, Your Majesty. I have indeed heard about this matter and have sent people to investigate. The theory of monsters is nonsense, but it will cause panic among the people. The truth should be found out as soon as possible. But I Incompetent, very few things have been found, and progress is slow, so I beg the emperor to allow me to go and check in person!"
Xiao Qi's ability to climb to the position of factory prince and governor in just a few years was not due to luck.
The terrible legends about him are also true.
The name of the Living King of Hell in Beijing is not unfounded.
His methods are based on intelligence.
Now, faced with a dilemma, he chose the one that was easiest for him without hesitation.
Since the emperor had taken this idea, Xiao Qi could naturally guess that the emperor was very worried about this matter. He summoned him late at night and decided to send himself south to find the truth.
In this way, wouldn't it be better to take the initiative and make arrangements in advance without waiting for the emperor to say anything? The emperor had been looking sad just now, but now it suddenly became clear.
Then he nodded approvingly: "I am always at ease when you do things. Only if you go can we investigate the truth clearly. Otherwise, if you let some rabble go, they will only give me some excuses."
Xiao Qi followed the rules and knelt on the ground with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, please go there early tomorrow morning."
This time, Xiao Qi correctly guessed the emperor's thoughts and asked him to come in the middle of the night. It must be extremely urgent at this time.
He knew that even if he was anxious about this matter, there would be no result.
But that fire has always been in the emperor's heart.
The emperor is anxious.
So it’s better to just ask for permission and leave early tomorrow morning.
The emperor seemed quite satisfied with this answer. He went to help Xiao Qi up in person and said approvingly: "I really saw you right."
"By the way, I also know that this trip to the south is very hard, and there is no need to rush it. If you are willing, you can also take your wife with you so that you can have someone to take care of you along the way! Your wife is at home, and I am afraid she will have to do it for no reason. You worry."
Xiao Qi's heart felt as if he was being lightly scratched by an invisible and intangible 's itchy and painful.
His wife? His wife is going to poison him to death today!
Xiao Qi withdrew his anger faintly.
In front of the emperor, it is never possible to show any other emotions, just bow your head and obey orders.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration..."
"Your wife is very eloquent, I have seen her before."
Xiao Qi knew what the emperor meant.
Feng Yunyun invited Feng Xiaoer into the palace to attend the banquet, but something went wrong.
Mo Qili made everything clear to him.
Feng Xiaoer did have a mind of his own. He resolved the crisis with just a few words, and even knocked Concubine Pan upside down, finally saving the day.
It just happened that the emperor met him.
Therefore, the emperor has defined Feng Xiaoer as the type of person who is sharp-tongued, eloquent, and good at talking.
"Your Majesty, I am still at fault. My wife entered the palace for the first time. She did not understand the rules and bumped into the Emperor and other empresses. It is all my fault that I did not teach her well, which caused her to get into a lot of trouble."
When the emperor saw that Xiao Qi was taking all the blame on himself, he said kindly: "Why are you and me doing these false rituals? You have married a smart and good wife, and I am sincerely happy for you!" "
"I am ashamed!"
Xiao Qi has always been respectful in front of the emperor.
He didn't speak much, but every word he spoke could hit the heart of the emperor.
After so many years, I have figured out the truth: the emperor does not refute anything he says, and just takes all the blame on himself.
The current emperor is a shrewd master and has the ability to read people's hearts.
Xiao Qi is so low-key and capable, and he is his most beloved minister.
Therefore, the emperor naturally became close to him and would give Xiao Qi the things he thought were good.
Xiao Qi asked the emperor for marriage for the first and only time.
The emperor also happily agreed to such a beautiful thing and was willing to be the moon elder.
Now, Xiao Qi loves his wife very much, and this beautiful story has even spread throughout the capital.
It would be fine if they were separated for ten days and a half, but the investigation of the case would go on for months without any results.
The emperor also knew that the matter in Laizhou would be nothing more than a few common people making trouble.
If it really involves other things, it is another difficult dish that only Xiao Qi cannot fully understand.
It's better to let them go together as a couple, so that Xiao Qi won't be distracted and worried.
The hearts of husband and wife are in the same place, just like he and the queen, nothing can be difficult.
"You and your wife will go south together. I will send more people to protect you. But at this time, you should keep a low profile, preferably in plain clothes, not in official uniforms, so as not to alert others. I will now ask Eunuch Yu to allocate the funds directly to you. Let’s go early tomorrow morning.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
