Early in the morning, the Ministry of Works' Langting exploded.

Early in the morning, the emperor was furious because of the gangsters who broke into the official office last night to steal pictures and injured court officials. Because the drawings were stored in the Shilang Court at that time, the emperor and most officials thought that the Shilang Court had been mispreserved, and they angrily reprimanded Liu Yingsu and punished him with a demerit.

The double unicorn pattern was found again at the scene of the crime, indicating that it was the work of the Immortal Sect again. They stole the layout drawings of the government hall and the construction plan of the anti-danger chamber, so they knew everything about the defense of the government hall. After learning the news, everyone in the political hall was in danger, especially Yin Jiheng, who was even stimulated to the point of having a headache and almost fainted in the court.

Gu Qingning said that he could draw a new blueprint for the political hall and adjust and transform the structure of the political hall, so that the political hall could be re-armed, so that the bad guys would not have a chance to attack the officials in the political hall, so that the hearts of all the members of the political hall could be calmed a little, and she was deplored by the fact that she was injured in the court, and few people would transfer the blame to her, only respect and admire her, and the emperor also rewarded her after listening to her speech.

In this case, how could Liu Yingsu be so angry? When he went to the official office to take office, he saw that his own public house in the court was in a mess, and that there were also personnel from the criminal department who were going back and forth to investigate, so he became furious and reprimanded his subordinates for no reason to vent his grievances.

After the order, Gu Qingning first went to Shangshu Hall to ask Yin Shaochu for business, and then they discussed and then reconstructed the drawings for the political affairs hall, and just wanted to call Liu Yingxu over to make a decision together, they heard the people on the side of Shilang Ting. Yin Shaochu was helpless, so he went over there with Gu Qingning to take a look, and before he entered the court, he heard Liu Yingsu's angry words of reprimanding the people of the Criminal Department for making progress and making no progress.

Yin Shaochu and Gu Qingning looked at each other and smiled, he shook his head and said, "Gu Langzhong, your boss's temper is really big enough. ”

Gu Qingning also laughed sarcastically: "Yin Shangshu, your subordinates' temper is not small." ”

The two of them were happy, and before stepping into the Shilang Court, Yin Shaochu adjusted his facial expression and said to her, "Gu Langzhong, have you ever seen the appearance of the headquarters getting angry?"

Gu Qingning held back a smile and shook his head: "No, I don't dare to see it." ”

Yin Shaochu rubbed his face with his palms and said, "Then you can see it today...... Cooperate later. ”

She covered her mouth, stopped laughing, and nodded: "Yes, Xia Guan understands." ”

After entering, the subordinates of the Shilang Court were busy cleaning up the hall that was messed up by the gangsters, Liu Yingsu was busy using his subordinates to vent his anger, he sat on the side of the hall and talked to the investigating officer of the Criminal Department, and he didn't know what people said to offend him, he was so angry that he threw out the teacup in his hand, the porcelain pieces were shattered, and the tea splashed.

Gu Qingning quickly pushed Yin Shaochu in front of her, letting Yin Shaochu step into the puddle of water, splashing her official boots, and then she called out, as if she was rushing to help Yin Shaochu, "Eh, Lord Shangshu, be careful! Don't slip! It's not good to fall!"

Her voice frightened both the court and Yin Shaochu, Liu Yingxu immediately changed his face and went down to greet him, Yin Shaochu reacted quickly, put on an angry face, and while kicking the debris on the ground, he yelled at Liu Yingsu who ran in front of him: "What is this for? Liu Shilang, you are not good at building houses, but you are very good at demolishing houses? What is the mess going on? Are you Shilang Ting or Caishikou?"

The three words of Caishikou scared Liu Yingxu a lot at once, and he apologized again and again, and invited Yin Shaochu to take a seat.

Gu Qingning followed Yin Shaochu's side, carefully serving, looking quite nervous, after saluting Liu Yingxu, he looked around at the Shilang Court again, and asked, "What's wrong with Lord Shilang? Why are you so angry with your colleagues in the Criminal Department?"

Liu Yingxu's face turned blue and white for a while, and he was secretive, and finally had to say: "Just ...... They blamed our poor preservation...... I can't help but be angry, as if who could have foreseen the Church of Eternal Life......"

After he finished muttering, Yin Shaochu choked him with a calm face and said, "Don't people pay attention to what they say? Liu Shilang, what are you angry about?"

Liu Yingsu saw that Yin Shaochu's anger was uncontrollable, so he had a premonition that things were not good, "My lord, ......"

Yin Shaochu seemed to be tired of his deliberate low-eyebrow pleasing appearance, and looked at the people from the criminal department who were investigating the case and collecting evidence, and his annoyance was fully revealed: "Above, the emperor has said that this matter is certainly a crime against cult bandits, but it is also difficult for our Ministry of Industry to pass the blame, no matter how we say it, it is lost in the Ministry of Industry, if we protect it tightly, how can we let those thieves easily get their hands on it? The headquarters trusts you Liu Shilang, so let you have full authority to supervise and follow up the fortifications of the anti-danger room, as long as all the drawings pass your level, the headquarters has not asked a word!"

The more Yin Shaochu spoke, the more excited he became, he knocked heavily on the table a few times, and asked: "And you? Such an important drawing was actually thrown on the hall of this waiter's court! Liu Shilang, did you let the thief come and steal it? I thought that you had been an official for many years, had deep qualifications and were cautious in your work, who would have thought that you would be so ignorant!"

Frightened, Liu Yingsu knelt down and kowtowed to admit responsibility.

Yin Shaochu looked at him and calmed down, but it made people tremble even more. Seeing Yin Shaochu at this time, Gu Qingning almost thought that he was really angry.

In order to cooperate with Yin Shaochu, she naturally put herself in the position of "red face", and when their words stopped, she answered and persuaded her: "Lord Shangshu, don't be angry, after all, Lord Shilang has just arrived in the Ministry of Works, and he has not yet fully mastered the regulations of the department, and he is not very familiar with the fortifications, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions......

Yin Shaochu turned his eyes to look at her, his face was serious, his eyes were deep and bottomless, and he said calmly: "Yes, Liu Shilang is indeed not familiar with the fortifications, especially at this juncture, the large fortifications of the anti-danger room of the official office should be taken and controlled by a person who is very familiar and very proficient, and this person ...... It's better to be in Gu Langzhong. ”

Gu Qingning was stunned in her heart, she really didn't expect Yin Shaochu to have this intention, she just wanted to find some mildew for Liu Yingxu to make him suffer a loss, and she didn't want to use this to fight for power with him...... However, Yin Shaochu gave it to her directly today.

"In the future, Liu Shilang, you don't have to take care of this fortification, and after that, Gu Langzhong will be solely responsible for the fortification of the dangerous secret room, and the progress of the fortification will be directly reported to me, and the drawings will be temporarily kept in Lang Zhongyuan. ”

……

Only then did Gu Qingning understand that Yin Shaochu performed this scene today not to teach Liu Yingsu a lesson, but to take power away from her.

After receiving the order, Gu Qingning didn't speak. After the two of them left the Shilang Court, Yin Shaochu changed his face, immediately smiled, stretched his lower limbs, and said proudly: "Qingning, how is it? The headquarters is still very official, right?"

At this time, she only felt that her heart was mixed, and she didn't know what to think, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu." ”

Hearing that she suddenly became serious, Yin Shaochu turned his head to look at her, and his eyes changed slightly, "Qingning, Qingning......"

When the two of them walked out of the Shilang Court, they saw the people from Shangshutang rushing to find Yin Shaochu Bingshi, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the senior of the Criminal Department has personally come to our department to investigate the case, and he has already arrived outside the official office. ”

"Since it's an investigation of the case, just report it directly to Liu Shilang, do you want me to go outside to greet you?" He was a little puzzled how his subordinates could be so ignorant of the rules, and deliberately joked.

The subordinate replied with a sigh of relief: "But Lord Lang Yin of the Criminal Department has arrived, and I feel that I should inform my lord." ”

Yin Shaochu laughed, "It turned out that my third brother came, ah, the waiter of the Criminal Department personally came to investigate the case, our Ministry of Industry has a big face, Gu Langzhong, go with the headquarters to greet him." ”

They joked, so they bypassed Shangshutang and went out of the inner court of the official office, and the people from the criminal department had already arrived at the outer court, Yin Qixiu led his subordinates to the front, but he seemed to want to directly advance to Shangshutang to meet Yin Shaochu, so he walked on the opposite corridor, and Yin Shaochu was separated by a distance from the outer court.

This time, who came to the Ministry of Industry with Yin Qixiu, there was also Lu Yuansi.

……

As soon as Yin Shaochu saw his brother, he was not restrained, and shouted directly from afar: "Yin Shilang!"

The group of people from the Criminal Department turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw the two high-level officials of the Ministry of Industry here, and the subordinates had already saluted here, Yin Qixiu was quite casual, and laughed when he heard his brother deliberately calling himself, but when he looked at Gu Qingning beside him, his brows couldn't help frowning.

Lu Yuansi didn't expect to see Gu Qingning when he entered the Ministry of Works, so he took a few steps back at this time, and buried his face even lower with his colleagues, for fear of confronting Gu Qingning.

Yin Qixiu walked back, wanting to go through the horizontal corridor to talk to Yin Shaochu over there, and when he turned around, Lu Yuansi in the back leaned closer and said in a low voice: "My lord, it is important to investigate the case, why don't you go to meet with Yin Shangshu first, and then go to the Lang Court to hand over to my colleagues?"

Yin Qixiu glanced at her sideways, sensing that she was a little nervous that she couldn't hide at this time, and was suspicious in her heart, thinking that she was avoiding something, but she didn't break it, and only agreed to let them go first, and he went to see Yin Shaochu and Gu Qingning alone.

Yin Shaochu and Gu Qingning were also walking this way, getting closer and closer, Lu Yuansi hurriedly turned around and marched with everyone, barely maintaining his composure.

Gu Qingning did take a few more glances at the subordinates of the Ministry of Works, and when they walked around the corner, she looked at it from a distance, and there was a side face that flashed and seemed familiar, but Yin Qixiu had already arrived in front of her, so she didn't look at it much and didn't pay attention.

The two brothers of the Yin family met and joked with each other, and then Gu Qingning greeted Yin Qixiu with the courtesy of an official, Yin Qixiu only looked at her indifferently, and said sarcastically: "Gu Langzhong was not lightly injured last night?

Gu Qingning didn't want to pay attention to his yin and yang weirdness, and only replied stiffly: "Thank you for your concern." ”

Yin Shaochu knew that he had a grudge against the Gu family, so he jokingly eased the atmosphere and said, "Isn't it, those cult bandits don't have the heart of pity and cherishment like you, third brother." ”

"Second brother is also very nervous, your right-hand man, then I have to say hello to Lord Shangshu, I am not only here to review the scene of the crime, but also to personally notify Gu Langzhong to cooperate with the criminal department in the review. Yin Qixiu said, and looked at Gu Qingning again.

Gu Qingning said: "If Lord Shilang wants to take down the testimony of the official, he only needs to have someone pass the official as evidence during the trial, why not go there himself?"

Yin Qixiu stopped, facing Gu Qingning, his face was cold, he took out a "summons order" from his sleeve and put it in front of her: "Because, it is not for you to be tried as a witness in Gu Langzhong, but as a suspect." ”

Gu Qingning was stunned for a moment, made a look of disbelief, and said in confusion: "Lord Shilang suspects that I have something to do with this case?

Yin Shaochu on the side felt even more sudden, only to see Yin Qixiu sharp in front of Gu Qingning, and said eloquently: "However, judging from the evidence and testimony collected by the Criminal Department, you are indeed suspicious in Gu Langzhong. ”

Gu Qingning took the summons order from him, deliberately put on a cold face, and said, "Please also ask your lord to make it clear, what is the suspicion of the lower officials?"

Yin Qixiu did not hesitate and blurted out: "First, time, this official learned that Gu Langzhong, you only finished the drawings of the anti-danger secret room of the political hall yesterday morning, and handed over the building structure drawings of the political hall to the Shilang Court of your department, and Liu Shilang originally planned to send these two drawings to the Shilang Court before the day before, but because you did not complete them in time, he could only temporarily put these two pictures in the Shilang Court, and according to Liu Shilang's arrangement, these two drawings will only stay in the Ministry of Industry for one night, and it happened that this night something happened. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"

"Second, the location, these two pictures have been in your Lang Middle Court before, even if those cult people have already seen the target, then they still have a lot of opportunities to do it in the Lang Middle Court, besides, the guards of the Lang Court are much stricter than the Lang Middle Court, they have no reason to choose the difficulty and avoid it. But this picture was lost in the Shilang Court, and because of your 'delay', they only had time to do it in the Shilang Court. Is this also a coincidence?"

"Third, the news that those cult members can enter the official office of the Ministry of Industry that has strengthened its patrol must have some understanding of the layout of the official office before acting, and then they can avoid the guards and accurately find the squire court and find the public house where the drawings are located. On the other hand, why do they know so much about the layout of the Ministry of Works? Why do they know that the drawings are in Shilangting and not elsewhere? It is very likely that there are people inside the official office who give them a message and even give them directions, isn't it? And that night it was only Gu Langzhong and you were in the official office, and it was very 'coincidental' that you ran into them......

"Fourth, the motive, because the drawings were lost in the Shilang Court, Liu Shilang was reprimanded by the emperor, and he was in danger of losing his office, and if he was removed, who would benefit the most? If the drawings are lost, Gu Langzhong, you can still draw them from memory, and there will not be much loss, but it will give you a chance to get ahead, isn't it? Just like the early dynasty, Liu Shilang and Yin Shangshu were all reprimanded by the emperor, and only Gu Langzhong and you were rewarded......

The logic is reasonable, the details are complete, and the details are scrutinized step by step, it can be said that Yin Qixiu's question could not be more rigorous and keen, and it can be said that his suspicion is completely valid.

While he was talking, Yin Shaochu kept looking at Gu Qingning, wanting to see the flaws on her face, or expecting her to refute, but she was just innocently at a loss, and she had an inexplicable attitude towards Yin Qixiu's questioning.

After Yin Qixiu finished speaking, she actually laughed, and her calm and fearless appearance could almost make people believe that she had nothing to do with all this, and was obviously framed by someone.

"Oh my God, today I let the lower official understand the power of Lord Shilang of the Criminal Department...... Tsk, this person who investigates the case really has to be subtle, seeing things that ordinary people can't see, and thinking about things that ordinary people can't figure out, it's really amazing. This is indeed her sincere sigh.

Yin Qixiu said indifferently: "Gu Langzhong, don't you have anything to explain to this official?"

Gu Qingning calmly put the summons into the cuff of his official uniform, shook his head and said: "This analysis of Lord Fang Cai Shilang, the lower official listened very carefully, and even felt that the adult was very suspicious, the details listed by the adult were completely true, and the adult's reasoning was even more reasonable. I also ask Lord Shirou to investigate it carefully, dig out the truth, find out, and find out the evidence. ”

Yin Qixiu didn't expect her to be so calm, and what he couldn't stand the most was that she looked at him like a vexatious teenager, and she was annoyed in her heart: "The ...... of this official meeting"

Gu Qingning attached another salute: "Then the lower official is waiting for Lord Shilang to interrogate." ”

After finishing speaking, she saluted Yin Shaochu again and said goodbye to them: "Xia Guan is busy reconstructing the drawings of the political affairs hall, so he will retire first. ”

She turned around and walked another way to her Lang Zhong Courtyard, leaving them with only a calm and calm back, and no one could see the change of color in her eyes.

Yin Shaochu retracted his gaze at her back, looked at Yin Qixiu, who was gloomy, patted him on the shoulder and said: "A woman, being an official to this point is strong enough, third brother, if you want to find trouble with her, I'm afraid you will have to work harder." ”

Yin Qixiu thought about it for a while, suddenly became relaxed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't do it, what about my father?"
