With Concubine Lin right in front of him, Xun Zhiyin didn't dare to sell Tie Niu at all.
Ying Wuji looked at him kneeling on the ground and trembling, and couldn't help but sneer: "Master Xun is silent, does that mean you admit it?"
"No, no! I, I..."
Xun Zhiyin panicked, but he didn't even have the courage to explain.
Ying Wuji glanced at Ying Yue and found that his eyes had also become serious, so he smiled and said, "Father! This matter is probably related to Lord Xun. I think he should be flogged twenty times and then interrogated severely. I want to see why Lord Xun wants to kill me!"
"Sir, Sir! I really didn't..."
Xun Zhiyin panicked.
Ying Yue waved his hand directly: "Okay!"
Ying Wuji looked at Gongsun Di and said, "Brother Gongsun, you are an elite of the Legalists, so I'll leave the whipping to you!"
Gongsun Di sighed softly and could only nod: "Yes!"
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Xun Zhiyin has committed a serious crime, and you must not show mercy in these twenty lashes. But there are still too many things to be tried, and you must not hurt his life! Your Majesty and the Queen are watching, Brother Gongsun must work hard!"
Gongsun Di was somewhat helpless: "Don't worry, sir! I am a family man who has inherited the doctrine of the Legalists. Sentencing is my basic skill. I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Ying Wuji: “…”
Good job!
Look, this is called professionalism!
After a while, the whip was brought and Gongsun Di held the whip himself. Every time the whip was struck, it was accompanied by a miserable scream.
Xun Zhiyin was beaten so badly that his skin was torn and he cried for his parents.
After the twenty lashes, Gongsun Di took him away and sent heavy troops to guard him strictly.
Ying Yue said angrily, "I didn't expect that even though I'm such a great man, there would still be such a scum who would kill his master! You can interrogate them freely. After the truth is revealed, no matter who is behind the scenes, I will make them pay the corresponding price and will not let them off easily!"
This is already quite serious. If the Xun family is behind this, at least three generations of their direct lineage will be exiled according to the charges.
Although Xun Zhiyin is a branch of the Xun family, there are also important figures in the three direct generations, so the punishment cannot be too severe.
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Thank you, father! By the way, father, I have another request!"
"explain!"
Ying Yue thought without hesitation. Now Ying Wuji was his most favored son. As long as he did not compete for the position of crown prince, he would satisfy any request.
Ying Wuji glanced at the supervisor beside him and said, "I got some clues from the murderer, saying that this case of Gu killing is related to a big force in Li country. I want to check it out but I don't have anyone around me, so I hope the supervisor can help me. I can leave the embassy for two days at most. Is that possible?"
"Can!"
Ying Yue nodded: "Uncle, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Although the supervisor was somewhat dissatisfied, he nodded: "As long as you don't blame me for the negligence, I will do my best!"
"What the hell!"
Ying Wuji smiled and then said, "I have said everything I wanted to say. Father, do you have anything else to say?"
Ying Yue was silent for a while, staring at him with a complicated expression: "Alas... I have treated you badly, you must take good care of yourself! When we negotiate cooperation with the Kingdom of Li, your father will send a team of experts to protect you closely!"
Ying Wuji narrowed his eyes and did not refuse: "Thank you, father!"
Ying Yue waved his hand: "Nothing else, let's go!"
After saying this, he waved his hand, and the shadow quietly dissipated, and the communication talisman also fell to the ground.
Ying Wuji had a smile on his face and waved to the people in the embassy: "From now on, you will all follow me. Remember, if you follow me, you will have meat to eat. Don't listen to those messy people's orders every day. Do you understand?"
“I understand!”
The crowd's voices were extremely loud.
Gongsun Di rubbed his temple. What a messy person... Are you referring to a mere nobody but me?
Ying Wuji had no interest in making things difficult for him and let everyone go about their own business.
The old supervisor snorted and prepared to go back to his room.
Ying Wuji followed with a smile: "Master Thirteen, wait for me!"
According to the clan's seniority, he should indeed call this old supervisor Master Thirteen.
The Thirteenth Master was somewhat displeased: "Why? Young Master, you want to criticize me again?"
Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hands: "How can that be possible! Aren't we supposed to go find the murderer later? I just wanted to report the work to you in advance so that we can work together better when we catch the murderer."
The Thirteenth Master has a bad and stubborn temper, and is quite rigid in doing things, otherwise he would not be trusted by Ying Yue so much.
After hearing this, Master Thirteen nodded with a straight face: "Then follow me!"
After saying that, he walked straight forward and went all the way to the secret room underground.
Although this place is a secret room, according to the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, it is the core of the entire embassy and the most suitable place to monitor the entire embassy.
Thirteenth Master's expression was cold: "Tell me, how do you want to catch the murderer?"
Ying Wuji smiled and spread his hands: "Compared to the local murderer in Li State, I am more interested in the traitor murderer in our Dagan!"
"What's the meaning?"
The Thirteenth Master frowned slightly, and the dense wrinkles on his face became deeper.
Ying Wuji did not explain directly, but asked with a smile: "Master Thirteen, can I ask you, when do you usually report to father alone?"
The Thirteenth Master seemed to realize something: "After the court meeting every day, His Majesty will be alone for an hour, and usually reports are made at this time."
Ying Wuji was slightly delighted: "Isn't that soon?"
The Thirteenth Master looked at him thoughtfully, nodded and said, "It's almost time! I'm going to meditate. There are chairs and snacks over there. If you're tired, go over there and wait for a while!"
