Compared to the vastness of Yongling, the commotion in Dayufang is really not worth mentioning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But today is not destined to be a dull night.

Dali Temple.

Dong Qing and Yu Xingzhi sat opposite each other in the outer hall, speechless to each other.

"Your subordinates, it takes so long to kill someone?" Yu Xingzhi said lightly.

If he knew that Jingzhao Mansion was in chaos, he didn't know if he could sit still.

Of course, there is something wrong with his attitude itself.

Although Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple belong to different government offices, in terms of position, Yu Xingzhi is only the fourth grade Jing Zhaoyin, plus the trial of the above criminal cases of the exile of the prime minister of Dali Temple, Jing Zhaoyin has to look at his face.

In the previous dynasty, there was also the Criminal Department responsible for the review of the case and the balance of Dali Temple, but after the establishment of Taizu, the system of three provinces and six ministries was lifted, and now the national affairs are all in the hands of Zhongshu Province.

Zhongshu Province includes the military, civil, and government, and has three separate powers, such as Da Situ, Da Sikong, and Da Sima, to assist the emperor in governing the world.

The six ministries that originally directly accepted the deployment of the three provinces were banned by various independent official offices, all of which were controlled by the emperor, and the functions and powers of Dali Temple also rose.

In other words, it was also for the centralization and unification of imperial power, and the entire empire became almost a word of the emperor. Of course, trying to control the complex and multitude of institutions like a spider's web and make them function normally is, from another point of view, a god-like power.

Therefore, Dali Temple can now be said to be "arbitrary and autocratic", and only the adjudication department can fight against it.

Dong Qing glanced at Yu Xingzhi and said, "What are you afraid of? Baifu Yu is looking for you to ask for your life? Isn't it just a little martial artist, what kind of waves can you turn over? I don't remember how timid you were before, or have you been an official for a long time and smoothed your fangs?"

A trace of annoyance flashed on Yu Xingzhi's face, and he said: "I think you are, immersed in the game of officialdom, you have gradually lost your nature!"

Dong Qing sneered, his disdain overflowing.

Yu Xingzhi's face couldn't hold back, and he said coldly: "You don't have to be so proud, now we are all lost, the Dragon God Ring has been touched, and there are remnants in Baifu, these two things are closely related, if you report to the ghost master, you and I will not be able to escape the dead......"

"So what?" Dong Qing said expressionlessly.

Yu Xingzhi said: "So I warn you that it's best not to go too far, otherwise everyone will be unlucky together!"

Dong Qing's eyes showed murderous intent, and he looked at him coldly for a while, "Interesting." ”

At this moment, a prisoner strode in from outside the door, and said on one knee: "Lord Qiqi, the murderer is suspected of escaping into the forbidden land behind the academy, Lord Dongfeng sent the villain back to tell the adult, I am afraid that the academy will make a hindrance, and please make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

"The mountain behind the academy?" Dong Qing's expression sank, and he frowned, "What about the east wind?"

The torturer said: "Lord Dongfeng has brought people in to search for ......"

"What?" Dong Qing Huo Ran got up and said angrily, "Reckless! The mountain behind the academy is the forbidden land of His Majesty Chrysostom, and even this seat does not dare to break into it easily, what is he, it is this seat that spoils him......"

Yu Xingzhi's eyes flickered, and he said: "So far, I have no choice but to enter the palace to face the saint, on the grounds that the underworld has a big operation, to sit on the charge of that little mongrel, and bring the holy decree, Mu Dongfeng still has a glimmer of life." ”

Dong Qing said with a calm face: "Now it's your turn to contribute!"

"Don't worry, compared to the little bastard who killed my sister, your and my personal grudges are not worth mentioning, and I will naturally help you. ”

Yu Xingzhi sneered and walked out.

At this hour, the palace gate is about to be keyed, and if you want to face the saint, you must leave as soon as possible.

The two of them did not delay, and came to the gate of Suzaku Gate non-stop, explained their intention to the guard, and took advantage of the key to advance to the palace.

All the way to the report, through the long urn city between the imperial city, under the guidance of the palace people, walked for about half an hour, came to the emperor's bedroom in front of the Danhuang Gate of the Shengshi Palace, and then through the Hanyuan Palace, through the Zichen Palace.

Zichen Hall is the land of the Inner Dynasty, and the two are no strangers.

After waiting in the hall for a short time, Ji Paper Kite appeared surrounded by the chief Yang An and the chamberlain.

A curtain was added in front of the throne, so that people outside could not see clearly, but inside, they could see outside.

The chief steward Yang An lifted the curtain and came out, with a look of resentment on his face, and said: "The two adults have something to do quickly, don't delay Your Majesty's bedtime." ”

Facing the red people around the emperor, Yu Xingzhi didn't dare to be presumptuous, and bowed respectfully to the ground, saying: "A few days ago, due to a public security case, I inadvertently found out that something was related to the academy. The humble position and Master Dong jointly investigated, and finally found out that this matter had a lot to do with Gongsun Jin, the prince of Cai. ”

Yang An said: "Two adults, the night is already deep, it's better to make a long story short." ”

"Yes!" Dong Qing also fell to the ground, "Here's the thing. The day before yesterday, I learned from Master Li that those bull ghosts and snake gods hidden in the shadows have been active frequently recently, and I am afraid that there will be big moves. After several days of follow-up investigation, it was found that Gongsun Jin intended to punch the chess pieces into the academy, and I am afraid that he was the person behind him, who was preparing to be unfavorable to the academy...... As the foundation of the Imperial Dynasty, the Academy will never be lost, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive the crime of trespassing of inferior ranks. ”

The matter of the underworld and the remnants of the sect has always been the responsibility of the Adjudication Division, and Dong Qing's words can't stand scrutiny at all, but as long as the final result is what the people in power want, even if he has selfish intentions, it is not a big deal.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Dali Temple personally caught Yan Li and Gongsun Jin meeting, and for this alone, Dong Qing was full of confidence. Who in the world doesn't know that what the Holy Emperor hates most is the underworld and anything related to it.

"It's okay, tell me what has been investigated?" Ji Paper Kite's voice came out.

Dong Qing said in a deep voice: "Gongsun Jin has already put the chess pieces into the academy, and that person is now a student in the outer courtyard of the academy. ”

"Wouldn't it be good to arrest and torture him!" Yang An's face was not good, "If you have the result, you will report it to Your Majesty, is it worth the two adults to work hard for this little thing?"

Dong Qing said: "The same consideration is given to the lowly position, as long as you torture the spies, you can know their deployment." But the spy didn't know where it came from, and he was full of trickery, so he escaped the round-up and fled into the forbidden land behind the academy, and his subordinates were afraid that the spy would escape, so they had no choice but to break into the forbidden land, only for fear of ......"

Although these words are basically close to the truth, when you say it carefully, it is purely false, if it weren't for Ji Ji's dislike of the underworld, Dong Qing would never dare to take it out and bluff.

Ji Zhiyuan said lightly: "How can the two Aiqing believe that that person is a student of the academy?"

Yu Xingzhi hurriedly took out Yan Li's identity jade plate, handed it to Yang An, and said, "This is the legacy of a spy, and the students of the academy have all recorded and archived their records, so it will never be wrong." ”

Yang An glanced at it and found that there was no problem, so he walked to the throne and handed it to Ji Paper Kite.

Ji paper kite took a closer look, the jade plates of the students in the outer courtyard are carved with flowers, birds, fish and insects, and there are thousands of autumns inside, only the person who creates them knows.

After a little checking, she knew that the jade card was true, nodded slightly, and said: "If there is clear evidence, then I will pass on the word of the word, and Yun'er and others will go into the mountain to arrest people." ”

Yu Xingzhi was overjoyed, and was about to thank him, but was interrupted again.

"However," Ji Paper Kite changed her words, "What is the truth in it, we still have to investigate carefully, and we can't wronged good people." By the way, do you know who this person is?"

Yu Xingzhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates will never wronged the wrong person." Coincidentally, this person's number plate is similar to the dog, and the dog happens to recognize him, his name is Yan Li. ”

"Yan Li?"

Ji Paper Kite's beautiful eyes suddenly became sharp, and through the curtain, she scanned back and forth on the two of Yu Xingzhi.

Her insight into people's hearts is so keen, she didn't pay attention to it, and only gently revealed it, but once she became serious, the careful thinking of the two of them was soon exposed.

"You two, do you have something to hide from me?"

Tan Kou spoke, but what Yan Li had done these days came to his mind.

If the Yanshan thieves want to collude with the underworld, they don't have to be so troublesome, they only need to take a leave of absence, why send Yan Li to take risks?

"Your Majesty, how dare you deceive the king and hide it from your ......?"

Yu Xingzhi never imagined that Yan Li's identity was beyond his imagination, so the charges he gave were too light to threaten Yan Li at all.

The Yanshan thieves must have other plans, and before the investigation comes out, Yan Li can't move.

Ji Jiyuan made up her mind in her heart and said: "Yan Li's matter, you don't care, let the people of Dali Temple withdraw from the academy, I have another idea on this matter." ”

"This ......" Rao is Dong Qing is mind is as firm as iron, and he was also shocked by Ji Ji's transformation and was difficult to accept for a while.

Yu Xingzhi was stunned, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that spy ......"

Yang An waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty has already made a decision, so I won't leave two more adults." ”

At this moment, an attendant walked quickly to Yang An's side and said something in his ear.

Yang An's half-blind old eyes suddenly opened, then narrowed again, turned around and walked into the throne, and said a few words to Ji Paper Kite.

Ji Paper Kite raised her thin eyebrows lightly and said, "Pass!"

Yu Xingzhi and Dong Qing glanced at each other, still kneeling on the ground, watching the situation.

After a while, a eunuch led a man in a scarlet robe to come in, and as soon as the man came in, he saw Yu Xingzhi kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "My lord, I can't find you anywhere, so you are here." ”

"Shao Qun, why are you here too?" Yu Xingzhi frowned, "What's going on?"

The person who came was Jingzhao Shaoyin Yan Shaoqun.

Yan Shaoqun shook his head lightly at him, then knelt down beside the two of them, and said loudly: "Weichen Yan Shaoqun sees Your Majesty, may Your Majesty have a long life!"

"Say, what the hell is going on!" Although Ji Paper Kite's voice was still steady, if you listened carefully, you could hear a trace of anger mixed in it.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and blood was splattered for thousands of miles.

Yan Shaoqun gritted his teeth and said: "At about the time of today, the teacher of the inner courtyard of the academy, Master Su Yusu, was killed in Guiyifang...... No trace of the murderer has been found at the scene, and I hope that His Majesty will hand over the case to the lowly office......"

"Su Jiaoxi is dead?" Dong Qing and the others were shocked, which was not trivial.

Ji Paper Kite's expression did not move, but her beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of frost, "Yang An, according to you, who will be the murderer." ”

Yang An said embarrassedly: "You know the whereabouts of Master Su best, and that person is hiding in Guiyifang, and he has no intention of hiding it, I'm afraid he can't get rid of him." ”

Ji Paper Kite said coldly: "Go, catch Yan Li for me!"
