[Welcome to pay attention to the personal WeChat public account "Tiangao Chenyuan", share some reading experiences from time to time, recommend some books that can be read when there is a shortage of books, and also have some views on movies and television, if you like it, just take a look, if you don't like it, you can take it directly!]

[In addition, I recommend my new book "The Building Will Fall", I personally think that it can still be read!]

"That's how things are!" Cen Shen said expressionlessly in the military post house.

"So, Lord Cen saw Mrs. Qiu Guo kicked away by a horse with his own eyes?" Haifeng's eyes were sharp, staring at Cen Shen.

Where did this trick against ordinary thieves scare Cen Shen, who had been on the battlefield, only to see him sneer, and asked rhetorically: "'Lord Catcher' Is this suspicious of this official?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Haifeng collected the sharpness in his eyes, and just smiled: "I just heard that the Lord Gao Shigao who was with the adults that day once stepped forward to give Mrs. Yu Guo a pulse after she was ...... 'kicked away', and also asserted that she was seriously injured and dying, isn't there such a thing?"

Cen Shen squinted his eyes and was silent for a moment before he nodded: "That's right! Brother Gao did step forward to take the pulse for Mrs. Qiuguo." ”

"Oh, that's right......" Haifeng bowed slightly, and suddenly asked again: "But as far as I know from my visit, Lord Gao is indeed proficient in medical skills, since Lord Gao was the Lady of the Kingdom of Yu at that time, it must not be wrong, but in fact, ......"

Haifeng's gaze turned back to Cen Shen, and the sharp light was still there: "Mrs. Yu Guo is still radiant, and there is not even a trace of injury!"

"In just five days, I don't think there should be any panacea that can make people go from being seriously injured and dying to being glorious, right?" unless ......" Haifeng's tone became colder: "Someone told a lie!"

"Or......" Haifeng restrained his coldness again and smiled gently: "I just looked away!"

"I also heard that Lord Cen, Lord Gao and the other two friends drank a lot of wine when they had a lot of feasts......"

"What the hell do you want to say?" Cen Shen raised his head and stared at Haifeng.

"Haha!" Haifeng smiled and said lightly: "Ask about the case, of course, you have to seek truth from facts, is it possible that it is because Lord Cen and too much wine have seen the wrong person and the wrong pulse?"

Cen Shen was silent, he stared at Haifeng and didn't say a word.

If Haifeng has conclusive evidence, Cen Shen will not insist more, the big deal is that things return to the original point, he can also give Cui Chengfeng an explanation, so as not to anger Cui Chengfeng and make the situation out of control.

But looking at Haifeng like this, he obviously just wanted to set his own words, and he couldn't get conclusive evidence in his hand, how could he dare to go back on his word?

offended the Cui family, and he and Lord Feng traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, which was not only in vain, but also brought disaster to General Gao.

Therefore, Cen Shen could only sneer: "How is Mrs. Qiu's injury, this official doesn't know, if you really want to ask, you can go to the northwest and ask Lord Gao!"

"The official still has something to do, so I won't accompany him!" After speaking, Cen Shen got up and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Haifeng hurriedly stood up and stopped: "Please also ask the lord to sign this confession, the humble position is also ordered to handle the case, I hope the lord will do it conveniently!"

Cen Shen picked up the pen, signed the confession, turned and left.

"Boss, where are we going next?" the catcher next to him quickly collected his things and asked Haifeng.

"You take some people to Anrenfang to check the whereabouts of that Du Fu, as for that Li Bai heard that he is a famous poet, he must be in which mansion to have a banquet, send more people to inquire!" Haifeng sorted out the confessions he had collected for most of the day, and assigned the task again.

"You ...... there," the catcher next to him still wanted to show more in front of Haifeng.

"I'll go back to the yamen first and report the progress of the case to Lord Yin!"

As soon as Haifeng returned to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, he was called over by Xiao Jiong.

"How's the case going?" Xiao Jiong, who was writing the dragon snake, didn't raise his head and asked directly.

"Lord Hui, this is the testimony of witnesses who were at the scene that day......" Haifeng immediately took out the collated confession.

"You don't have to show me!" Xiao Jiong raised his hand, looked at Haifeng and said: "You write a note immediately, and I will enter the palace in a while, and tomorrow will be the day of the scientific examination, do you understand what I mean?"

Haifeng was indifferent.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Jiong hurriedly said: "This official knows that you don't want to take this case, and this official doesn't want to dwell too much on this, you just need to come up with a reasonable statement, and the official will handle the rest!"

Xiao Jiong has already received Xu Chen's promise, and it would be too insincere if he didn't take some practical action!

That's almost comparable to half of the land in Guanzhong, and it's too child's play to just send a scientific examination recommendation letter to Lu Hao for such a big benefit!

Xu Chen must be allowed to leave Jingzhao Mansion today, otherwise if the family is delayed even such a major event as a scientific expedition, how can the sincerity of cooperation here be convincing?

Don't say that it's useless to just get a promise, just let Xu Chen write it down in black and white, and people can still regret it when they want to.

Therefore, you must show the sincerity of your own side!

This may sound a bit contradictory, but it's easy to understand.

With such a big transaction, any promises and guarantees are meaningless, and the only guarantee is the trust built by a little sincerity of both parties!

After all, Ryukyu is far overseas, and the land cannot fly to other places, once the cooperation is reached, the interests between the two sides will be tied together, and from then on, not only in Ryukyu, but also in Chang'an, and above the court, it is equivalent to standing on a front.

Trust is the only cornerstone of cooperation.

As for the fear of the other party's repentance, it only exists in the two sides with unequal strength, Xiao Jiong and Xu Chen have the strength to make the other party jealous, so as long as the sincerity is expressed, there is no such thing as repentance.

Because, once such a thing happens, the other party's counterattack will make it completely impossible for the party that has lost its moral help to mix.

But any mature politician would not do such a thankless task.

Although Xu Chen is small, his wrists are quite mature.

Therefore, Xiao Jiong must understand this case today.

As for Haifeng, he also wished that he could get out of this fatal case as soon as possible, and for the result, he also tended to let Xu Chen get rid of the crime as soon as possible, otherwise God knows what these crazy boys would do.

Therefore, Haifeng deliberately excused Xu Chen in the question with Cen Shen just now.

The hesitation just now was also to get a clear explanation from Xiao Jiong, he was fed up with this kind of feeling of being used as a gun.

"Okay, let's go and prepare!"

Although he didn't get Gao Shi's confession this time, he had already obtained the testimony of these people who drank too much alcohol that day from many hawkers, as long as he used some criminal methods, he could magnify the possibility of a few people being drunk and dazzled, thus greatly reducing the credibility of Cen Shen's testimony.

Xiao Jiong is also a person who has tried cases for more than ten years, and he will not even fail to grasp this opportunity.

It didn't take long for Haifeng to write the strip of Chen, and the result naturally made Xiao Jiong very satisfied: "Yes, I worked hard!"

It didn't take long for Xiao Jiong, who was neatly dressed, to get into the carriage to the palace.

Although Xiao Jiong entered the palace to reply to the emperor's order, after all, as a civil official, not a military general or an internal guard, as usual, he still has to go through the political hall first, otherwise, he will inevitably be suspected of despising the prime minister.

"Xia Guan has seen Xiangye!" Xiao Jiong saluted respectfully.

Li Linfu, who was reviewing the recital, raised his head, and just wanted to speak, there was a tingling pain in his brain, so painful that his right hand was unstable, and the brush fell in response.

"Xiangye, what are you ......" Xiao Jiong happened to raise his head and saw Li Linfu's painful appearance, and couldn't help but move in his heart.

Li Linfu also came over in the strong wind and waves, although his brain still hurt badly, but he squeezed out a slightly helpless wry smile on his face: "These days are busy with government affairs, I have never slept a solid sleep, not only the old eyes are dizzy, but even this body can't lift the energy, if you don't come, maybe the old man will fall asleep here......"

Xiao Jiong hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed, with a look of concern: "Xiangye should take care of his body, Datang can't do without Xiangye!"

"It's old, it's useless!" Li Linfu sighed.

"Xiangye is serious, Xiangye can serve the saint for at least twenty years!"

"Haha, you're getting better at talking!"

The two chatted for a few words, and the eunuch who went out to report trotted in all the way.

"What's the matter, where is the Holy Lord now?" Xiao Jiong hurriedly asked.

The little eunuch then bowed down and replied, "If you go back to your lordship, the saint went to the mansion of Mrs. Yuguo with the noble concubine in the afternoon. ”

"Then did the saint say when he would return to the palace?" Xiao Jiong was a little anxious.

"This, I don't know!" replied the little eunuch.

"Damn!" Xiao Jiong scolded in his heart and waved his hand: "Okay, you can step down!"

"Little retirement!"

After the little eunuch left, Li Linfu, who had almost recovered, saw that Xiao Jiong's face was full of anxiety, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Jiong didn't want to say it, but suddenly remembered that Li Linfu had just "married" Xu Fan in private not long ago, and the object happened to be Xu Chen's sworn brother, so he told the truth: "The Holy Majesty ordered the lower officials to thoroughly investigate the case of the attack on Mrs. Qiuguo, and the lower officials have found out that this matter has nothing to do with the Ryukyu Festival to make Xu Chen, and he is about to ask the Holy Lord to pardon Lord Xu, after all, tomorrow is the day of the scientific examination, and Lord Xu is also one of this year's tributes, if you miss it, it's not a misguided future!"

Li Linfu didn't know why Xiao Jiong was so concerned about Xu Chen's affairs, he still remembered that it was this Xiao Jiong who was the first to attack Xu Chen that day, but he had seen a lot of this kind of thing, and knew that the two sides must have some connections that he didn't know.

Originally, he didn't plan to intervene in this matter, but he had just formed an alliance with Xu Fan not long ago, and he didn't take the initiative when facing Chen Xilie that day, and more importantly, he still remembered the "warning" that Wan Jia had given him, and he also paid a lot of attention to Xu Chen, a young man.

As Xiao Jiong said, tomorrow is the day of the scientific examination, although Xu Chen already has an official body, but a serious non-commissioned officer can add a lot of points to him.

What's more, it is also in the interests of Li Linfu to keep Xu Chen in Chang'an, after all, if Xu Chen can't stay in Chang'an and returns to Ryukyu, the impact on the southern maritime trade will be too great!
