"What should we do now? We can only wait?" Hou Yi said impatiently.

Hou Chong and Yuan Ji both frowned, there was no better way.

At this moment, the people from the Ministry of Justice came.

"Shangshu Guan wants to see me?" Hou Chong asked in a little surprise.

Hou Chong said that he hoped to cooperate with Guan Zhuo, but he did not expect that Guan Zhuo would respond so quickly.

"Yes, my master asked Mr. Hou to come over." said the official from the Ministry of Justice.

"Okay, I'll go there now." Hou Chong said with almost no hesitation.

Guan Zhuo is now the person in charge of the whole matter, and he is the object they need to rely on. If Guan Zhuo wants to see him, Hou Chong will naturally not refuse.

"I don't know if there is any new discovery in Guan Zhuo." After Hou Chong left, Hou Yi said to Yuan Ji.

"I must have found something." Yuan Ji said: "I know Guan Zhuo. Since he called Lord Hou over, there must be important things. Moreover, he was able to contact Lord Hou on his own initiative, which is also a very positive signal."

Hou Yi nodded in agreement. Zhao Ke was arrested. Now they are very passive and need support urgently. Guan Zhuo plays a very important role in this matter. It is a very good thing for them.

Hou Chong thought so too, so he attached great importance to this meeting.

"Sir Shangshu, are you so anxious to see me? Are you having any new discoveries?" Hou Chong, who saw Guan Zhuo again, asked Guan Zhuo.

"Not bad." Guan Zhuo didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I'll show you something."

As he said that, Guan Zhuo handed Hou Chong the prescription prescribed by Doctor Liu, and Hou Chong took it and looked carefully.

"Is this a prescription?" Hou Chong looked and said in confusion: "What does Lord Shangshu mean? The officials don't understand the prescription."

"I'm not asking you to read the content." Guan Zhuo said: "But read the words!"

"Look at the words?" Hou Chong said subconsciously, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "This word... is the same as the words on the imperial edict!"

Hou Chong also read the imperial edict, and the interval was not long. Therefore, under Guan Zhuo's reminder, he suddenly remembered.

"Not bad." Guan Zhuo said: "The handwriting on this prescription and the handwriting on the imperial edict are the same."

"Who prescribed this prescription?" Hou Chong asked hurriedly.

As he asked, Hou Chong had already guessed in his heart.

"Doctor Liu!" Guan Zhuo said.

"Sure enough!" Hou Chong's face did not show any unexpected expression: "In this way, the will in the hand of His Highness the Third Prince..."

Hou Chong didn't finish his words, but the meaning in his words was very obvious.

"But we have no evidence." Guan Zhuo naturally understood what Hou Chong said. The two of them had the same idea on this matter.

"This prescription is evidence!" Hou Chong said, shaking the prescription in his hand.

"Doctor Liu will not confess his guilt." Guan Zhuo said: "He will push this matter to His Majesty. There is no evidence to die. Even if the imperial edict was written by him, it must be false if it cannot be proved."

"No, I think he will confess his guilt!" Hou smiled and said, "Sir Shangshu, if you trust the officials, you will leave this matter to the officials. My methods of interrogation are slightly different from those of the Ministry of Justice."

Slightly different?

Guan Zhuo thought of some of the information he had heard in the past, but it was not a slight difference, it was a big difference!

Their Ministry of Justice sometimes punishes prisoners for trial, but compared with Hou Chong's people, the punishments they carried out are simply slim and are very gentle. It can be said that there is no mouth that Hou Chong's people can't use.

"Yes." Guan Zhuo nodded. This time he called Hou Chonglai, which was actually what he meant. Although he disliked some of the actions of those under Hou Chong's men, he had to admit that sometimes, their abnormal means could achieve unexpected results.

Hou smiled heavily and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for your trust."

Although Hou Chong and the others are mainly looking for the case of the emperor being poisoned, their ultimate goal is the throne. Now Zhao Lun has a will in his hand, which will inevitably affect Zhao Ke's ascension to the throne. Therefore, the information provided by Guan Zhuo at this time is very important to them, and Hou Chong also attaches great importance to it.

"By the way, Lord Shangshu, have you made any progress in the case of the poisoning of the late emperor?" Hou Chong asked.

For them, the most important thing now is to rescue Zhao Ke first and wash away the suspicion on Zhao Ke.

However, Guan Zhuo shook his head and said, "Not yet, I am going to start from the little shunzi in the eldest prince's bedroom."

When Hou Chong heard this, he was a little disappointed. When he heard Guan Zhuo say he wanted to investigate Xiao Shunzi, he couldn't help but say, "Sir Shangshu don't have to find that Xiao Shunzi anymore."

"Oh? Why?" Guan Zhuo asked.

"Because, he is dead." Hou Chong said: "Just a while ago, my man received news that he suddenly disappeared and the possibility of being killed is very high."

"Dead?" Guan Zhuo was a little shocked and a little annoyed.

He was one step slower!

Guan Zhuo did not expect that the other party was acting so quickly, his thoughts were similar to those of Hou Chong. At this time, he suddenly disappeared and was probably killed, because, near the palace, not only were his people staring at him, but Hou Chong's people were also staring at him, and he didn't see him leaving the palace at all.

Hou Chong nodded with a serious expression.

Guan Zhuo's face looked a little ugly and said, "How could he be killed at this time? Is it a coincidence?"

"Sir Shangshu, please bet a bold guess. This may not be a coincidence." Hou Chong said: "Maybe, the other party knew that we were eyeing him, so he suddenly took action at this time."

Guan Zhuo's expression also became a little solemn. He nodded, but he had an idea in his heart.

"I won't disturb Lord Shangshu anymore, say goodbye." Hou Chonggong bowed and said.

Hou Chong was preparing to attack Doctor Liu. With Xiao Shunzi's past experience, he did not dare to waste time too much, so as not to kill Doctor Liu to silence him. Then things would be even more troublesome.

Guan Zhuo also understood this, so he did not try to keep Hou Chong.

After Hou Chong left, Guan Zhuo sat in his position, his face looking a little ugly.

Hou Chong's words just now were very clear. It is very likely that someone from the Ministry of Justice was secretly informing people, which led to Xiao Shunzi being killed.

Xiao Shunzi is obviously an important witness, and it is a pity that he was killed like this, and it is also a great loss for them.
