Lu Mingyong was hanging his sword on his waist, and the black cloak was roaring by the wind. He pushed open the gate of the Duke of Qi's mansion with both hands, led more than 20 people, and tied up the Duke of Qi who was teasing birds directly.

"Lu Mingyong, what are you doing?!" The Duke of Qi was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at Lu Mingyong and roared angrily.

Lu Mingyong grabbed the rope on Duke Qi and dragged Duke Qi out: "The evidence of Duke Qi poisoning and murdering Your Majesty is conclusive, so I arrest you into the palace and ask for guilt."

The Duke of Qi was a little guilty, but his annoyance towards Lu Mingyong had exceeded his inner fear. He scolded: "Lu Mingyong, my Duke did not do such a thing. If you dare to treat me like this, you are not afraid of Your Majesty's ruler.

Is it a sin?!"

Lu Mingyong grabbed Duke Qi, pulled him in front of him, and sneered: "You still want to suppress me with your identity? You are Duke Qi, but you have taken an errand from the Ministry of Personnel. My official is Duke Yue, not only your title

I had an extra title of Yi Yong before, and my official position was higher than yours. Why? Can't I capture you?"

The Duke of Qi was so angry that his face was rising: "I am Your Majesty..."

Lu Mingyong pushed him away: "You still have the face to mention Your Majesty? Why don't you think about whether you are Your Majesty's grandfather when you poison Your Majesty's pastry?"

What else did Duke Qi want to say? Lu Mingyong threw a handkerchief to his subordinates. Duke Qi's mouth was immediately blocked. He waved his hand: "Bind it tightly, take it away!"

Before leaving, Lu Mingyong glanced at Akun, and Akun nodded without a trace.

Chengming Palace.

Headed by Feng Xiang, the six ministers of the six ministries were all present, including two royal princes.

A chair was placed next to the imperial seat, and Changsun Tao sat there with a big golden sword, his expression calmed down, and he felt pressure without saying anything. The serious atmosphere made people breathless.

"The Duke of Qi puts scoops of grass into the pastry he gave to His Majesty, which almost endangers His Majesty's health. Today, I call you here, and I want to discuss how to deal with this matter. You will discuss and discuss, if you can discuss a constitution

, tell me."

Mr. Feng bowed: "Uncle, how is Your Majesty's health?"

Changsun Tao said indifferently: "Your Majesty is so lucky that he is rewarded with the pastry to a little girl. But the little girl is allowed to block the disaster for him. The dragon is healthy, but he is sad and cruel, so he entrusted me to deal with it with all his powers.

thing."

Mr. Feng asked again: "Your Majesty's food is all tasted by the eunuch. How could this happen?"

Changsun Tao said: "Your Majesty has not eaten the pastry, so naturally no one will try it first. And even if someone uses silver needles to test the poison, silver needles will not react to Zhucao."

"The eunuch who tasted it only had a small bite, and it would not cause any serious consequences. The skillful use of poisonous methods is probably not an intention on the spot. I have reason to suspect that this is a long-planned assassination!"

Mr. Feng said: "King Qi, based on the relationship between Your Majesty and the Duke of Qi, I am really unbelievable that the Duke of Qi assassinated Your Majesty. I wonder if there is any misunderstanding in this?"

Changsun Tao said: "I have asked Duke Yue to summon Duke Qi. Is it a misunderstanding or intentional one? When Duke Qi comes, you will know in the first instance."

As he was talking, Lu Mingyong walked in with Duke Qi, kicked Duke Qi's ankle, and held Duke Qi down and knelt in front of Changsun Tao.

Changsun Tao made a gesture, and when Lu Mingyong took away the handkerchief that stuffed Duke Qi's mouth, Changsun Tao's majestic voice sounded: "Duke Qi, who gave you the poison in your ring?"

Duke Qi subconsciously protected the ring and pretended to be calm: "Poison? What poison? What King Qi is saying, I don't understand!"

Changsun Tao waved his hand impatiently, and Lu Mingyong pulled out half of the sword: "Do you remove it yourself, or will I cut it down for you?"

Lu Mingyong was the commander of the Qilin Guard and also the emperor's close guard. He did not need to untie the weapons in the palace.

The moment the divine weapon was drawn out, a cold light refracted the eyes of Duke Qi. The sword roar was as clear as a dragon, indicating how sharp the sword was.

The Duke of Qi quickly untied the ring and struggled to death: "King Qi, what if there is zicao in my ring? What does this mean? Can't I use it to suck it yourself?"

Changsun Tao did not respond, but said, "Call the palace maids who delivered the pastry in, and let the imperial doctor show the Duke of Qi to see if there is any grass in the body of the Duke of Qi."

As soon as the palace maid who was delivering pastries was taken up, the Duke of Qi panicked: "King Qi, isn't you just trying to make a case like this? Just ask a palace maid to testify, and you want to prove that your minister is guilty? Isn't it too arrogant, right?"

"What is a palace maid and what is the identity of a minister? Can this lowly person believe what he said?!"

Changsun Tao ignored his barking like a barking dog, and asked with a low voice: "Speak out everything you know."

The palace maid was trembling and stumbled: "Before the pastry was delivered, the father-in-law of the Si kitchen had tried poison. On the way, only the Duke of Qi lifted the food box that the slaves carried..."

The Duke of Qi was furious: "Stop it! You little hoof! Your Majesty's pastry was sent by you. Why didn't you say that you gave it to you?"

Changsun Tao cleared his throat, his voice was frighteningly light: "Duke of Qi, there is no such thing as Zhucao Palace. Even among the people, it is difficult for anyone to know how to use it to make poison. I only ask you one question, where did you take this medicine?

Get it?"

"If you explain it carefully, then you will click on this matter before Duke Le. If you are lucky enough to talk nonsense, then I can only use the national law to deal with you. Let the Xiao family be imprisoned first.

Wait until the truth is revealed, then deal with it!”

The Duke of Qi was frightened and was aroused by the anger in his body. He shouted violently: "Changsun Tao! What right do you have to deal with me?"

This roar shocked everyone.

They served as officials in the same dynasty as the Duke of Qi for many years and had never seen such a Duke of Qi. It was only then that everyone realized that something was wrong.

Lu Mingyong held down the violent Duke of Qi.

Changsun Tao thought something and opened his mouth: "Use mint oil to wake up the Duke of Qi."

The palace servant took the peppermint oil and put it on the end of the Duke of Qi's nose and shook it. The Duke of Qi's eyes faded. As his mood flushed, he couldn't bear it at all and fainted.

It happened that the imperial doctor had just been invited, and Changsun Tao said calmly in the face of surprise eyes: "Let me show you the Duke of Qi."

The news of the arrest of the Duke of Qi also reached the third prince's ears. However, the third prince had been granted the title of king and was granted the title of Wu and Yue, and was the King of Wu.

When the King of Wu, who had not yet lived in another residence, heard about this, he calmed down after a moment of panic and said, "Go and pass on the Queen Mother that King Qi threatened Qi to assassinate His Majesty to the Empress Dowager."

The confidant hurriedly went to do it, and he ordered the palace servants to pull down the curtain. In the dim light, he could only see his blurry outline. His eyes, like poisonous snakes, emitted a terrifying light in the darkness.

"Uncle, you are so smart. You will find Duke Qi so soon. But no matter how powerful you are, there is an empress dowager behind Duke Qi! The empress dowager needs to protect him, what can you do?"
