141. The case of destroying the door
The fact that the household department and the military department were all wiped out is too weird, even if the criminal department exerts all its manpower and material resources, it can't investigate the reason. And after the door was washed in blood, a fire burned the whole house clean, even if there were any remaining clues, there was no trace, Li Zhizu, the secretary of the criminal department, had a headache for three days, and finally presented a petition to the emperor on the last night.
The document is full of records of the difficulties of the criminal department's three-day investigation, and Li Zhi explained in every possible way that he was really unable to find out who was behind the scenes, and he was ashamed of the emperor's trust and entrustment.
Although Huang Yao is in the deep palace, he has also heard a lot of treacherous things about this matter from the imperial court and An Ningna, so he naturally will not be angry because of this. Moreover, Shangshu of the Criminal Department has worked hard for the royal family for many years, and he has worked hard without merit, so he just passed Li Zhi to come to him to comfort him a few words.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy responsibility of investigating the case fell on Huang Yan.
This is not the sole decision of Huang Yao, but the result of joint consultation by hundreds of civil and military officials. As a king side by side, the imperial court helps the emperor to handle matters inside and outside the court, and he is already anxious enough every day, and he has no intention or power to investigate the case. As for Huang Yan, he, Prince Yi, really deserves to be more relaxed and chic than any prince, so he said that the matter of the early dynasty, whether he is up or not depends on his own mood, standing there in a good mood and filling the number of people, in a bad mood...... Even if the holy decree is directly at the door of the mansion, it will not yield half a step.
Most people have seen the picture of him being angry when he is angry, which is even more terrifying than Lord Yama coming to ask for his life, so no matter how rude he has always been, no one dares to step on his scales. But there are hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, and there are always a few courtiers who are not afraid of death and are very upright, so they jointly played a petition, hoping that Prince Yi could come forward to find out the truth, so as to comfort the two Shangshu spirits in the sky.
After all, although Prince Yi has a perverse temperament, his lively thinking ability and sharp means of doing things are still there.
I don't know how the emperor agreed to their proposal, anyway, when the eunuch in charge of conveying the will came to Prince Yi's mansion, Huang Yan was sleeping on a tree.
That's right, on the tree.
There are many flowers and fruits in Prince Yi's mansion, but there is only one peach blossom tree, which was planted by Huang Yan when he was a child. When the tree grows up, he climbs up from time to time and rests among the thick branches. He didn't like to be busy, and he could count the people he made friends with on one hand, so this peach tree became his perfect haven.
It wasn't until she showed up that he had a harbor that he was even more reluctant to leave, and Peachtree gradually moved away from his life.
Today is just idle, he saw the peach tree in the courtyard, and wanted to come up and sit on a whim, but the result was not much different from the feeling in his memory. The position of the branch is still wide and comfortable, as if it was tailor-made for him, the peach blossoms are blooming, the breeze is blowing, the petals are fluttering and deflecting and falling, sprinkling him all over his body, and his nose is very refreshing.
The eunuch didn't see Prince Yi when he walked around, so he hurriedly asked the guard who led the way, "Dare to ask the prince where is this? This direction seems to be going to the garden, right?"
"Yes, my lord is resting in the garden. ”
The eunuch knew it, but as soon as he stepped into the garden, he was full of flowers and trees, but he didn't see half a figure.
"This?"
The guard smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the peach tree, "My lord is on that peach tree, please wait for a while." ”
At...... In the trees!?
When the eunuch was confused, the guards hurried forward, raised their heads to the tree and shouted, "My lord!
There was a sudden sound of squirming between the quiet branches, and the peach blossoms revealed Huang Yan's sleepy face, and his eyes were full of violence after being awakened from a good dream, and then his unhappy eyes swept straight to the eunuch who was waiting aside, and the eunuch was swept away by this terrifying gaze, and the fat on his body trembled, and he almost knelt directly with a weak leg.
"The king... Lord, this has an edict from the emperor, can you... Could you please come down for a visit?"
"Tsk, trouble. Huang Yan glanced at him coldly, jumped down directly with his hand on the trunk, and landed firmly on the ground.
The eunuch looked at Huang Yan, who was approaching step by step with a cold face, and there was a cold sweat on his back, and he smiled forcefully: "Lord Wang, please let the Lord obey the order." ”
Huang Yan glanced at him, knelt down on one knee with his robe, and immediately said coldly when he saw that the eunuch had the intention of refuting: "Say!"
Yes, it would be good for this uncle to listen to his decree well.
The eunuch hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "Today, there are two Shangshu who have been tragically destroyed, and it is impossible to find out who is behind the scenes, so this case is hereby handed over to Prince Yi for full investigation." Once it is investigated, it can be reported to the Criminal Department for disposal!"
After conveying the message, the eunuch looked into Huang Yan's frozen gaze, and trembled suddenly, and even his voice was a little afraid, "This... This will was conveyed by the emperor himself, and I hope that the prince will be clear. ”
Huang Yan ignored what he said, and his heavy eyes swirled with black mist.
"That, my lord... Do you have any other questions?"
Heaven forbid, don't have it! Let him get out of this fateful place quickly!
"Investigating cases has always been the task of the Criminal Department. What's the matter, are they eating white rice, do they need this king to deal with that?" Huang Yan squinted at him slightly, and there was a monstrous killing intent surging at the end of his black eyes.
What a bunch of rubbish!
When the eunuch heard this, he knelt on the ground and said urgently: "The prince is angry!
"Then you can explain it to me!"
"It's... This, the old slave is not very clear. Previously, this matter was handed over to the Criminal Department to deal with, and Lord Shangshu investigated for three whole days, but there were no clues at all, so the emperor urgently convened hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss that you would deal with it. ”
Huang Yan sneered, and the impatience on his face was even worse, "This king has always cared about such miscellaneous matters, and those wastes still don't know the temperament of this king?"
"No... No, in addition to the Criminal Department, the only one who can take on this important task is you, the prince, the king and the county lord of Qingning, the king of the side has been investigating the unknown caravan recently, and the county lord of Qingning has been doing his best for the imperial country for so many years, so the emperor said that it is good to leave these things to others to deal with, try not to trouble the county lord, so as not to overwork her and hurt her body......" The eunuch replied tremblingly.
After listening to the last sentence, Huang Yan's face softened a lot, and he snorted coldly and said lightly: "Hmph, count them as acquaintances!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the eunuch smiled as he wiped the cold sweat from his face.
Fortunately, it's okay, but fortunately, there is the universal talisman of the county lord of Qingning!
If she shouldn't come down, I'm afraid that the group of wastes will throw this thing to her again! Ning'er's body can't be tossed anymore!
Huang Yan tightened his brows, looked coldly at the eunuch with a smile on his face, and the impatience in his eyes was even worse: "What are you still standing here?" Get out!"
"That's... Did the prince agree?" the eunuch confirmed stubbornly.
Huang Yan swept his eyes coldly, and the eunuch trembled with fright, and hurriedly saluted him and bent over.
"The prince has never interfered in court affairs, is it because of the county lord that he took this task this time?"
Huang Yan looked at the peach tree with an indifferent expression, without saying a word, but the guards instantly understood.
