Chapter 69: Just ask
In the past few days, both the former dynasty and the harem have been shrouded in a dull atmosphere. In the previous dynasty, because of the case in the north, Chu Tianze was furious, and the officials were also panicked. Every morning when the three legal divisions report the latest progress of the case, there will always be some "inside information" exposed, which makes the Manchu Dynasty civil and military frightened and Chu Tianze furious. Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the concubines should not be affected by the major affairs of the court, but because Chu Tianze is busy with court affairs, especially the case in the north, he has not set foot in the harem for many days. In addition, some concubines learned through the news secretly transmitted outside the palace that their mother's family was more or less involved in this case, although they pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but in fact they were very worried. Yes, the harem was also immersed in an inexplicable silence, and it lost its former liveliness.
After the early dynasty, Chu Tianze still summoned Chu Tianyou and Fu Che to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.
"But what's new?" Chu Tianze asked the two of them. What is said in the court is what the three law divisions can find, and some of the details of the secret investigation are not suitable to be said in the early court.
Chu Tianyou is always very serious when talking about political affairs, and he said solemnly: "In the past few days, I have mainly explained the beginning and end of the case with the three law divisions, and gave them the list of some low-level officials involved first. With the progress of the investigation of the Three Law Divisions, the depths have not yet been investigated. ”
Chu Tianyou nodded, and continued to ask, "What is the reason for Yan Yi's abnormality that I said last time?"
"Brother Huang, after the investigation of the younger brothers, it can be basically concluded that there should be no behind-the-scenes promoter behind Yan Yi. Chu Tianyou replied, "It seems that all the sources are in him." ”
Fu Che also nodded and said, "From this point of view, Yan Yi's abnormality can only be another reason for the emperor's speculation." It seems that Yan Yi is concerned. ”
Chu Tianze pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you found out who Yan Yi has been in contact with recently, especially women?"
Chu Tianyou and Fu Che both shook their heads. Chu Tianze also expected this result, he sent secret guards to follow up the secret investigation, and he has not found out who Yan Yi has been in close contact with. In fact, this is the most suspicious.
Chu Tianze turned to ask Fu Che, "What is Yan Yi's move in the Criminal Department?"
Since the case was filed that morning, Yan Yi has returned to normal. In the past few days, the minister has assisted him in investigating the case in the criminal department, and he is also secretly observing him, as if he is only concentrating on handling the case, and the minister has not noticed his abnormality. Fu Che replied truthfully based on his own observations.
Chu Tianze sneered when he heard this: "Now all eyes are on this big case, and the whole court is also trying their best to investigate, the matter has come to this point, how can he not be calm? Hmph, with Yan Yi's ruthless temperament, he is planning to 'fight against the water'!"
But for now, it seems that he has not moved. Chu Tianyou wondered.
"I'm afraid that I will continue to make small movements in the dark, but I have avoided all the eyeline. Chu Tianze said coldly, "Continue to follow Yan Yi secretly, don't let go of the slightest move!"
"Yes!" Chu Tianyou replied to Fu Che.
Chu Tianyou saw that the business was almost discussed, relaxed his mood, and took out a folding fan from his cuff to play with it. Flipped back and forth twice, looked at the folding fan and thought of Guanguan, and suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Brother Huang, Brother Chen's brother thought of something. Chu Tianyou said, "The previously mentioned Shaoqing Guan Zhiyuan of Dali Temple, there have been many clues pointing to him recently, which is very unfavorable to him. ”
"Didn't the emperor's secret guard have already secretly checked that the official has nothing to do with this matter?, how could this be?" Fu Che tried his best to control his excitement, "Such an obvious point, I'm afraid that someone deliberately framed him." ”
Chu Tianze nodded: "I also have this suspicion, because I sent a secret guard to investigate who Guan Zhiyuan had a grudge with in the court." It's just reported that Guan Zhiyuan is an upright official and easy-going, and he has not had any major disputes with anyone, nor has he heard of anyone who disagrees. ”
"That's weird...... Chu Tianyou's eyebrows were twisted together, because of that fan, he had a good impression of Guanguan recently, "If the little sister-in-law knows her father...... I guess I'm going to be worried. ”
Fu Che's heart tightened when she heard this, she must be worried......
Chu Tianze glanced at Chu Tianyou: "She won't know." What is there to worry about. ”
"But the current clues are very unfavorable to the official. If the three law divisions continue to investigate, it is estimated that they will be able to find out Guan Zhiyuan's head in the next two days. When the time comes, the sister-in-law will finally know, and it will be too late if it really arrives. ”
"Since the official has no enemies, who will harm him?" Fu Che was anxious.
Chu Tianyou thought about it, and suddenly called: "Luo Lu!"
Chu Tianyou and Fu Che didn't know what Chu Tianze's move meant, and looked at each other suspiciously.
Luo Lu, who was outside the palace gate, heard the voice and entered the hall: "The slave is here, what does the emperor command?"
"Go to Qiwuyuan and call Guanguan. ”
As soon as Chu Tianze's words came out, several people in the hall were stunned. Luo Lu asked incredulously, "The emperor meant to invite the official beauties here...... Qianqing Palace?"
"Do you want me to say it again?" Chu Tianze said coldly.
"Naturally no, the slave will go!" Luo Lu hurriedly got up and walked outside the hall, he was still confused at this time, how could the emperor let a lady go to the Qianqing Palace, this official beauty is really surprising......
"Wait. Chu Tianyou suddenly stopped Luo Lu.
"What else does the emperor command?" Luo Lu hurriedly turned around, thinking: Your Majesty, you also think it's inappropriate.
"After reading the message, don't pay attention to what she asks, tell her directly that she will take her to the secret road, and if you have any questions, go to the Qianqing Palace to talk about it, don't bother!" Chu Tianyou instructed Luo Lu. Thinking of Guanguan's rigid and forward-looking temperament, he shook his head helplessly.
"The slave obeys the order...... Luo Lu didn't expect Chu Tianze to explain this, but he didn't dare to rub it any longer, and hurriedly went to Qiwuyuan.
Chu Tianyou saw that Luo Lu was gone, and finally couldn't help asking, "Brother Huang, what are you asking your sister-in-law to come here for?"
Fu Che was also anxious, but he had no position to say anything, so he could only look at Chu Tianze in confusion.
Chu Tianze glanced at Chu Tianyou, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that Guan Zhiyuan would be found in the next two days?"
"Yes...... But that doesn't make sense, just talk to my sister-in-law now. Chu Tianyou was really a little anxious, "Besides, it's useless to talk to my sister-in-law, except to make her scared early." ”
When Chu Tianze heard this, he no longer teased Chu Tianze, and said: "Since it is certain that someone has planted the blame, and Guan Zhiyuan and the officials of the DPRK and China have no disagreement, then the problem may be in the harem......
Fu Che was shocked when he heard this: "What does the emperor mean...... The official beauty made an enemy in the palace before incurring this matter?"
Chu Tianyou suddenly understood, and also looked at Chu Tianze.
Chu Tianze was noncommittal, he didn't know what he was thinking, he just said lightly: "She will come in a while, and she will know if she asks." ”
