In just a few months, Shen Zi'an had been promoted by Wei Yanxian to be the leader of the imperial guards, only under Wang Jingsheng.

Moreover, Wang Jingsheng was a person who was loyal to Wei Mingxu in the past, and now that he is older, Wei Yanxian faintly has the intention of letting Shen Zi'an replace him.

Shen Zi'an came to report at night: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Xie family killed a guard of the governor's yamen. ”

Wei Yanxian, who had already approved the excerpt and was going to bed, was obviously not interested in this news: "Hmph, the people they killed, not to mention this one." ”

Shen Zi'an continued: "The guard who died is the eldest son of the Lin family's aunt and grandmother. ”

"Which Lin family?" Wei Yanxian suddenly raised his eyes and asked.

Shen Zi'an bowed and said, "West Lake Hou Lin's family." ”

Wei Yanxian's eyes suddenly opened, the time he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

It's just that now the Criminal Department is in the hands of Xie Wendong, and the Zuodu Yushi and Dali Siqing of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are Xie Wenliang's people. If this case is handed over to them, I am afraid that most of them will not be resolved. This is also the reason why the people of the Xie family are so rampant now.

Shen Zi'an said: "Although Xie Wendong sits in the position of the secretary of the criminal department, but there is no talent, most of the officials in the criminal department were single-handedly raised when Li Shangshu was in power, and it is not difficult to override Xie Wendong." And Huang Zongjie of Dali Temple and Jinling Wang are in-laws, if Wang Jingsheng is willing to come forward, there may be room for things to turn around. Just look at this matter, how does the emperor plan to deal with it. ”

Wei Yanxian walked back and forth in the house twice, and said to Shen Zi'an: "You will personally go to King Jing's Mansion early tomorrow morning, and tell the outside world that the Ninth Princess is sick, and I invite Prince Jing to visit the palace to visit her." ”

The next morning, the court was calm, and no one dared to mention the murder of Brother Kai, because those who knew knew that it was the brother of the Xie family who did a foolish thing after drinking, Wei Yanxian did not mention it, and the people of Jingwangfu did not mention it, and others were naturally more silent.

And the people of the Xie family didn't even know it, because the brother of the Xie family fell asleep after returning home, and the little guy who went out thought that he had just injured a guard of the governor's yamen, one didn't know who the injured person was, and the other didn't know that the person was dead.

In order to be afraid of the punishment of the master of the family, he naturally helped the little master hide it, and no one in the Xie family knew about it.

It wasn't until after the early dynasty that Wei Mingxu entered the palace, which alarmed Xie Wenliang, he sent someone to inquire carefully, and the palace only said that the ninth sister was sick, Xie Wenliang didn't believe it, why did the ninth sister suddenly get sick, and she was sick, and it should be Lin Zhixuan's mother who entered the palace, not Wei Mingxu alone.

After asking carefully, I found out that Xie Wenliang was furious, and asked the next person in the house, only to find out that it was his unscrupulous son Xie Yuanwu, Xie Yuanwu woke up from a hangover, and completely forgot what happened last night.

Xie Wenliang wanted to beat him but was stopped by his wife, he couldn't do anything, and after scolding Xie Yuanwu angrily, he paced back and forth in the house, thinking of ideas, and called Xie Wendong, who was still in the Criminal Department, to discuss countermeasures.

"The emperor actually called Wei Mingxu into the palace, I am afraid that he wants to make a fuss about this matter. Xie Wenliang groaned.

Xie Wendong said worriedly: "Big brother, what should I do?"

Xie Wenliang said: "Don't worry, this case, in the end, is just in the hands of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, I have asked the little guy who followed that day, although the gang of dog slaves threatened to say that it was the master of the Hou Mansion, but they did not name the surname, it was dark at that time, there were no lights in the alley, and there were few pedestrians. ”

Xie Wendong was a little worried: "However, although no one saw it in that alley, I heard that the girl was still alive, and Brother Yuan had indeed been to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in that area that night, and there were probably a lot of people who saw him." ”

Xie Wenliang said angrily: "You have been the secretary of the criminal department for so many years! That woman quickly sent someone to solve her, and she made it look like she hanged herself, as for the people in the Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou, they just saw Brother Yuan, whether they saw Brother Yuan kill people, I can't count." ”

Xie Wendong said: "What about the people from the governor's yamen?"

Xie Wenliang thought about it for a long time, but suddenly made up his mind, and said to Xie Wendong: "You go and do what I say first, if it doesn't work, I still have a plan." ”

Looking at Xie Wenliang with a grim face, Xie Wendong was still a little afraid, but he also listened to this big brother, and didn't ask any more questions, just rushed to arrange it.

Brother Kai is gone, Lin Shuxuan cried so much, Lin Zhixuan accompanied her, and she also blamed herself in every way, the eldest sister came to the capital to join herself, wanting to give her two sons a good future, but she never thought that it was only more than a year, and she would fold into a son in vain.

Besides, Brother Kai has already become a parent, and at the beginning of this year, his wife was just pregnant, and everything was the best time, but it came to an abrupt end.

Lin Shuxuan and his widow cried so much that they almost turned their backs, but fortunately, Lin Jiahong was in danger, arranging matters up and down, Lin Jiahong came back early, Wei Mingxu had already entered the palace, Lin Zhixuan asked Lin Jiahong about today's situation, only to know what happened last night, and no one dared to mention it in today's court.

Lin Zhixuan comforted Lin Shuxuan on the one hand, and arranged Kai Ge'er's funeral with Lin Jiahong, Wei Mingxu entered the palace until sunset, but did not come to Lin's house, but returned to Jingwang's mansion, he sent Du Qin to talk back to Lin Zhixuan, saying that everything is fine with the ninth sister, and everything is fine in the palace, so that Lin Zhixuan can accompany Lin Shuxuan with peace of mind, and leave all the other things to him.

Lin Shuxuan is really collapsed now, she can't do without Lin Zhixuan at all, Lin Zhixuan has to live in the Lin Mansion first, and she doesn't know what Wei Mingxu's situation is, Du Qin seems to be unprecedentedly busy, and he can't care about coming to the Lin Mansion to deliver news to Lin Zhixuan for a while.

Lin Zhixuan only learned from Lin Jiahong, who was in the court every day, that the emperor mentioned the murder of Brother Kai the next day he went to the court, and for the first time he was biased towards the Jingwang Mansion, he began to support Wei Mingxu and suppress Xie Wenliang.

Wei Yanxian did not hand over the Zhuang case to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple, but directly went to the court for trial, and Shen Zi'an played all the certified physical evidence, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Xie Yuanwu, which caught the Xie family off guard.

Wei Yanxian asked Xie Wendong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, what was the first article of the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xie Wendong kept his mouth shut and did not answer, only saying that the case had not been tried by the Criminal Department, and all the evidence had yet to be verified, so he did not dare to make a verdict.

Wei Yanxian was furious: "It seems that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is not very familiar with the criminal laws of the Great Zhou, Dali Siqing!

Seeing this, Huang Zongjie trembled forward and replied, "The murderer is dead." ”
