Li Cheng knew the pros and cons!
He also understood the meaning behind Minister Gong's words.
He had to choose between the relationship between the Gong family and the Gong family.
This was undoubtedly a big problem.
Minister Gong saw that he was considering, so he put down the tea in his hand and walked over.
He patted his shoulder.
"Ah Cheng! I'll still say the same thing. We still don't know the truth of the case, but if you insist that this case is related to Shi Lin, you should know what it means. So, think carefully before you act. I don't want our families to have a good fight. "
Li Cheng's bottomless eyes looked at the scheming minister in front of him.
He knew he couldn't beat him!
Unless he used force!
He looked back at the guards he brought, then said to Minister Gong, "Uncle Gong, don't make things difficult for me."
"I'm not making things difficult for you, but I want you to consider the big picture."
The words "consider the big picture" clearly pressured Li Cheng!
He didn't know how to respond.
He knew Qin Chu. If he insisted on taking Gong Shilin away, the consequences would be more terrible than he expected.
The relationship between the Gong and Li families was like a huge net, and he was like a fish caught in the net.
Once they fought to the death.
Both sides would perish together!
Gong Zuoxiang slowly moved closer to his ear and whispered, "As long as you say it, the dead can become alive, the black can become white."
Ugh!
Li Cheng's eyes darkened.
His hands, which were hanging by his sides, couldn't help but clench into fists.
Minister Gong not only wanted him to take his people away, but he also wanted him to secretly protect them.
This was against his morals and conscience.
He didn't give any response, and his eyes didn't show any signs of backing down. After a while, he said, "Can you … let me see Gong Shilin?"
"I won't let you see him."
"I have some things to ask him in person. After asking, I can take my people and leave first."
But Minister Gong's attitude was firm. He waved his wide sleeves and turned around, saying, "No matter what, before this matter is resolved, I won't let anyone see Shi Lin."
Li Cheng knew that he couldn't take Gong Shilin away today.
And Left Minister Gong's words, 'the dead can become alive, the black can become white', were indeed worthy of deep thought.
After all, the relationship between the Li and Gong families was obvious.
In the end, he still left the Left Minister's residence with his guards.
…
Gong Shilin was locked up in the backyard of the Prime Minister's residence.
There was a lock on the door.
There were two servants guarding outside.
Not even a fly could fly in.
After Gong Shilin was locked in, he sat behind the desk and wrote something on a piece of white paper.
He wrote very quickly.
There was no pause at all.
But what exactly was he writing?
Until a voice came from the door, "Master."
Then came the sound of the lock being unlocked.
When he finished writing the last word, he immediately stopped writing.
Fold up the piece of paper full of writing
He quickly stuffed it into his sleeve, not caring whether the ink had dried or not.
As soon as the door opened, Minister Gong walked in.
The servant closed the door again.
Minister Gong's expression was tense, "I have already sent Li Cheng away."
Gong Shilin walked around the square table in front of him, his face full of worry, "Father, so what if you can save me for a while? I know very well what kind of person Li Cheng is, he will not let me go because of this, he will definitely come again, father, you … "
"I will definitely not watch you be taken to the city department to be punished!" Minister Gong was very excited.
"Father!"
"I only have you as my son, if something happens to you, what do you want me to do? What is the use of everything I have today? "
Gong Shilin suddenly knelt down, shouting, "Father, it is my fault, why do you have to bear the crime of shielding me? How can I be at ease? "
"Pa!"
This slap was particularly loud.
And ruthless.
Minister Gong's palm stopped in the air.
He felt his palm go numb.
Gong Shilin was directly knocked to the ground.
Blood came out from the corner of his mouth.
Minister Gong said with tears in his eyes, "Listen, I will not let anything happen to you, and I will not let you die."
His voice was like a great bell.
It resounded throughout the whole room.
Gong Shilin lay on the ground, sighing.
His hands tightly clenched into fists.
In the end, he was still not as stubborn as his father.
…
Li Cheng returned to the city department empty-handed.
As soon as he came back, he sat in the main hall.
He did not say anything.
Just like that, he sat there quietly.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong were waiting for him to bring someone back.
Gong Shilin did not see Li Cheng's expression.
The two of them looked at each other, already understanding.
Who was Gong Shilin? He was Minister Gong's son!
Bringing him here for questioning was indeed troublesome.
"I've already found the clues for the case. You can handle the rest yourself. If you bring the person, just let me know!" That was what Ji Yunshu said before she left.
Li Cheng did not reply.
He just sat there.
No one in the city department dared to say anything.
When the sky turned dark, an old official came forward. "Lord Li, it is very late."
Someone reminded him.
Li Cheng looked outside and realized that it was already so late.
He sighed and waved his hand. "You don't need to worry about me. Leave."
"Lord, you …"
"It's fine!"
"I will be outside. If Lord has any instructions, please don't hesitate to tell me." The old official retreated.
Li Cheng did not sit for long. He finally got up and went out.
He returned home.
Before he entered the door, he already knew what was going to happen.
Sure enough, when he entered the door, a servant hurriedly ran over.
The servant hurriedly ran over and said, "That … Young Master, you're finally back. Master and Young Master have been waiting for you in the hall for a long time."
He replied with a "Hmm".
He walked towards the hall.
Marquis Pingyang sat in the main seat. His expression was solemn and his eyes were like torches.
Li Qiao sat on the left.
"Father, Big Brother," he shouted.
Marquis Pingyang asked, "Tell me, how do you plan to deal with it?"
"Father, are you asking about Du Mubai's case?"
"I have already met with your Uncle Gong. He said that you went to the minister's residence with the guards of the city department to arrest someone today. You kept saying that you wanted to bring Gong Shilin for questioning."
"Yes!"
"So, you have really found evidence to prove that Du Mubai's death is related to him?"
"Yes!"
"Where is the evidence?"
"After I bring Gong Shilin to the Ministry of Justice for questioning, I will naturally produce the evidence," said Li Cheng.
"Bang!" Marquis Pingyang slammed his hand on the table and suddenly stood up. "Do you know that if you bring Shilin to the Ministry of Justice, it is equivalent to openly making the Li family and the Gong family enemies?"
