Chapter 409: Report to Beijing

Shi Siming does not recognize his friends, but only recognizes reality.

If reality tells him that his friend is suspected, with Shi Siming's personality, he will not care about the so-called "friendship" at all. If he is suspected, he will be arrested and then tortured. If he finally finds that the wrong person has been arrested, his friend has become a dead friend. It doesn't matter. Finding a new friend is to catch the wrong dead friend, well, it's good that he is emotionally stable after death.

It involves interests and futures, and your own father can kill you, let alone a mere friend.

Feng Yu was taken to the Pinglu Jiefu Prison.

The suspect was imprisoned and did not ask any questions, as usual. The prison guard first whipped Feng Yu with a whip soaked in salt water, then slammed his back with a stick as thick as an arm. These were torture methods of opening and closing, and the finest ones were still behind, such as bamboo sticks piercing their fingers, daggers cutting their flesh, etc.

Feng Yu was whipped dozens of times and was in a semi-coma state. Until at night, a civil servant of the Jiefu walked into the prison and tortured Feng Yu according to Shi Siming's instructions.

With the jailer's diligent smile, the civil servant went to the prison and sat behind the table in the torture room. Looking at Feng Yu, who was tortured by torture instruments, the civil servant frowned and disliked Feng Yu's appearance.

He slowly stroked his beard and sat for a while, and the civil servant ordered Feng Yu to wake him up.

A bucket of cold water dripped from the head, Feng Yu was shocked and woke up slowly. Seeing the civil servant sitting in front of him, Feng Yu's mouth sagged and burst into tears. The crying sound gradually became louder, and finally turned into a wailing louder.

"What crime did I commit? Why did I arrest me? I am friends with you General Shi..."

After receiving Shi Siming's instructions, the civil servant knew what to ask, so he slowly said: "Feng Yu, where were you around midnight last night? What did you do? To be honest, General Shi knew what you did."

Feng Yu cried and said, "Last night, I drank with General Shi's brothel. Later, General Shi and I were both drunk and slept in the accord of the brothel. General Shi slept with me in the same room. Don't he know what happened to implicate me?"

Seeing Feng Yu crying unjustly, the civil servant frowned, something was wrong.

Look at Feng Yu's appearance, he is clearly wronged. Usually, people who are truly guilty often do not act so greedy for life and fear of death, but Feng Yu is simply an ordinary little person who is completely unaware of it and is very afraid of it.

Could it be that General Shi made a mistake?

"Feng Yu, don't be lucky anymore. What you did has happened and you can't hide it. Let me remind you, did you steal General Shi's waist card?"

Feng Yu was stunned and then was very upset: "What waist card? What did I steal his waist card? Last night I was drunk with him and fell asleep together. I had not left the door for a half-step. What does General Shi's waist card have to do with me? Shangguan, who did I offend, and why did I kill me unjustly?"

The civil servant looked a little ugly. The young man in front of him didn't know anything after asking questions. He didn't seem like a hero who could withstand the trouble. Seeing his unjust look on his face, he obviously didn't know about this.

After hesitating for a moment, the civil servant was about to let the prison guard continue to use punishment. The prison guard suddenly handed over a letter with a smile and whispered: "This letter was found from Feng Yu's arms. The fire is intact and no one has touched it. Please check it out."

The civil servant took the letter and carefully checked the fire lacquer first. He found that there were indeed no traces of damage. So he turned on the fire lacquer, took out the letter, and put the dim light in the prison. The civil servant carefully looked at the letter.

Judging from the title, the letter was written by Feng Yu to his elders. He seemed to have no time to send it out and kept it close to his arms. After reading it, the clerk let out a light breath, his expression becoming more and more hesitant.

There are no suspicious clues in this letter, and the content of the letter can be said to be very touching.

Feng Yu said in the letter that he made a good friend in Yingzhou, a military general named Shi Siming. General Shi was reasonable and had a good relationship with Feng Yu. He also made a heroic and generous move, and was not care about details. He was a friend worth making.

This friend is now in a little trouble, and the superiors urge him to prepare food. Feng Yu asked his family in the letter whether he could mobilize the family's funds and purchase more than 20,000 stones of grain from Henan Road and Shannan Road as soon as possible to transport it to Yingzhou City to relieve General Shi's concerns.

After reading the letter, the civil servant was honestly moved, and was moved by the sincere friendship between Feng Yu and General Shi, and was even more sad and moved by Feng Yu's unfortunate involvement in a major case and was sentenced to the torture.

"It's too dark, what a pity!" The civil servant shook his head secretly. A strange friendship encountered twists and misunderstandings. The boat of friendship was overturned as soon as it was said, and it was really too dark.

"Shi Siming is really not a human being, he is heartbroken." The clerk whispered in his heart again, then looked at the signature of the letter the day before yesterday, before he drank with Shi Siming last night.

Although there was no real evidence of Feng Yu's innocentness, the civil servants still subjectively believed that Feng Yu was wronged.

The civil servant sighed secretly, but Feng Yu was unaware of it and was still crying loudly, with injustices in his crying that he had nowhere to appeal.

"Closing him first, I'll ask General Shi for instructions." After the civil servant ordered the prison guards, he hurriedly left with the letter.

Feng Yu cried suddenly, and then cried even louder.

…………

Outside Chang'an, in the Huaqing Palace of Mount Li, a fast horse was galloping on the official road, riding a horse to the foot of Mount Li, the knight dismounted and walked up the mountain, and his steps were in a hurry.

Three hours later, Li Longji saw two memorials in the Huaqing Palace.

One is from Pei Zhounan, the Censor of the Anxi Protectorate, and the other is from Bian Lingcheng, the military supervisor of the Anxi Jiefu.

Both memorials report the same thing, but the statements and tone are completely different.

After reading the memorial, Li Longji looked gloomy and calm, and finally slapped the table hard and got up in anger.

"Gu Qing, what's your intention to kill our general!"

Gao Lishi, who was standing beside him, was furious when he saw Long Yan, and could not help but be silent.

Li Longji was so angry that he paced back and forth in the hall, murmured: "Lawless, lawless! I gave you a military power. Is this how you repay me? What are Pei Zhounan and Bian Lingcheng doing? Should I be punished!"

Seeing that Li Longji was so angry that his whole body trembled, Gao Lishi gritted his teeth and advised: "Your Majesty, calm down and take care of the dragon's body."

"I will be angry to death by these perverts!" Li Longji became even more angry.

After walking back and forth for a few steps, Li Longji paused, turned around and stared at Gao Lishi, and gasped and said, "Do you know what Gu Qing did in Anxi?"

"I don't know."

Li Longji pointed to the memorial on the table and said angrily: "He, he actually killed the lieutenant I sent to Anxi. The lieutenant heard that someone in the Anxi army slandered the lord, so Suo took a few people to interrogate him. Gu Qing actually killed the lieutenant!"

"Ha! So brave. Now Anxi is Gu Qing's world, not my territory? Is he the local emperor of Anxi? His soldiers under his command slander the king. Not only did he not ask, he killed the captain to calm the morale of the army. Gu Qing and Gu Qing! This son must be secretly rebellious, how can I tolerate him!"

Gao Lishi's eyelids twitched and he suddenly became nervous.

Li Longji's words were a bit serious, saying that Gu Qing was not aware of the matter and did not know the importance of the matter, but to say that he was "hidden indifference", this... would be too much. A young boy in his twenties had only been in Anxi for more than two years. How could he dare to rebel? An Lushan, the biggest confidant of the Tang Dynasty, also had the threat he was now in the three towns for more than ten years.

"Your Majesty calms down, Gu Qing... is really too slut. He kept causing trouble when he was in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, he still did not change his appearance after going to Anxi. This son is really a headache. Your Majesty knows his character, so why bother being angry about this slut?" Gao Lishi persuaded warmly.

These words of comfort were very skillful. First, they cursed Gu Qing from the standpoint of Li Longji, but without any trace, they reduced Gu Qing's nature to "caught trouble".

"Crashing trouble" and "rebellion" are completely different. Gao Lishi's words were like a rain, and he quickly put out Li Longji's anger.

The furious Li Longji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then blinked in ignorance.

"Come into trouble?" Li Longji frowned and murmured to himself.

Gao Lishi also showed a puzzled look: "Isn't it a disaster? Your Majesty should know this son's virtue. He never let His Majesty worry when he was in Chang'an. He even dared to kill the governor. Killing a captain in Anxi is nothing to him, right?"

Li Longji nodded. At this time, he was much calmer. He turned around and picked up the memorials of Pei Zhounan and Bian Lingcheng, and read them back and forth several times between the memorials, with a deep thought.

Bian Lingcheng's memorial was quite radical, and he did not say a good thing about Gu Qing. He described Gu Qing's murder of the lieutenant as a long-planned plan. Pei Zhounan's memorial made it clear that the cause and effect were caused very clearly. The lieutenant Chen Shufeng broke into the camp and forced the soldiers of the Anxi Army, and killed a general under severe punishment, and the other two were seriously injured.

After hearing the news, the Anxi Army was extremely indignant. The camp demanded the killing of Chen Shufeng in unison, which almost caused a mutiny. In order to calm the morale of the army and not to worsen the situation, Gu Qing followed the wishes of the soldiers of the army and killed Chen Shufeng and several accomplices in public.

The same thing, two completely different statements, who is true and who is false?

Li Longji thought for a while and said slowly: "Well, you're causing trouble... Haha, is it a cause of trouble?"

Gao Lishi bowed and said, "I guessed randomly, Your Majesty forgive me."

Gao Lishi was not considered as helping Gu Qing excuse him, but the situation in the palace and court over the years forced him to speak for Gu Qing.

In the harem, Gao Lishi and Yang Guifei had a very close relationship. After all, he was the only woman Li Longji favored. For Gao Lishi, Yang Guifei was the mistress of the family, and Gao Lishi was the housekeeper. The housekeeper naturally had to flatter him. What's more, Yang Guifei's brother is now the right prime minister of the court. He is the head of the Yang family inside and outside. Gao Lishi is a smart and intelligent character with vision and naturally knows how to stand in the side.

Yang Guifei has always regarded Gu Qing as her younger brother, so in Gao Lishi's eyes, Gu Qing is actually the emperor's brother-in-law, but she has no real blood relationship with Yang Guifei.

After things were straightened out, Gao Lishi's motivation to help Gu Qing speak was naturally sufficient.
