Chen Yu and Xie Chen responded with cold faces, and neither of them looked at anyone, so they retreated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, Chen Yu glanced at Xie Chen, and said lightly: "You'd better not play any tricks with me, Shen Zhuo's matter, don't let me know what you're doing." ”

Xie Chen's face was calm, "You are not the only one who wants to get rid of him, each with his own ability!" ”

When Chen Yu heard this, he ignored him and left first.

Out of the palace gate, before he was instructed to return to the house, a brocade guard hurriedly came to report that there were corpses in the west of the city, and the official mansion had just gotten the news.

"According to the subordinates, it should have just died, and the murderer should still be in the city."

Chen Yu frowned, "Who is the one who died?" ”

"Lord Hui, she is a first-class maid of the Shen family."

"The Shen family?" Chen Yu frowned, "You go and inform Shen Nan immediately, and I'll go to the west of the city first." So saying, he turned on his horse and beat his horse away.

Seeing this, Xie Chen, who came out later, also got into the carriage and told the coachman to follow.

In the west of the city, in the alley, the smell of blood rushed to the sky, and the blood was all over the ground, and the limbs were scattered around. It could only be seen that it was a woman, and many of the officers and soldiers around her covered their faces and vomited, and they couldn't bear such blood.

They are all raised in the capital, where have they ever seen such a bloody scene?

Shangshu of the Criminal Department saw Chen Yu, trembling his legs, and came to him with his mouth and nose covered, "Ziming, you are here, take a look, how is this good?" ”

The secretary of the criminal department is Lord Liao, this Lord Liao is Shen Nan's uncle, when the Imperial City Incident, he also followed the Shen family to Jiangnan, and later came back and was proposed by Chen Ning to reinstate the official. Such a relationship is naturally his own person.

Chen Yu glanced at the pool of blood, his face remained unchanged, and asked, "The first person to find the body can be taken down?" ”

"It's been taken down, and I've just interrogated it, it's just an ordinary beggar who likes to steal chickens and touch dogs on weekdays, and this time I found this, which is also an accident."

"Show me your confession."

"No problem, no problem," he wiped his cold sweat, "This kind of thing happened one after another in the capital, and if it goes on like this, I don't have to do it as an official." ”

Chen Yu said lightly: "The emperor has his own conclusion in his heart about this matter, and Lord Liao just needs to do his duty." ”

"Certainly," he just can't do his duty!

The person who most hopes to catch the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible is afraid that he is the only one.

Across the officers and soldiers, in the carriage, Xie Chen glanced at the pool of blood and frowned slightly.

Provoking in this way is really that kid's style, it's just that often this kind of person has to die.

"Let's go home!" He commanded.

Xie family, in the study, Xie Chen asked someone to summon Rong Qi, and said directly: "You say, the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, do you want to change someone?" ”

Rong Qi didn't swallow a mouthful of water, and almost squirted out, "You're not kidding, isn't Shangshu of the Criminal Department the brother-in-law of the Shen family?" Oh yes, and your favorite cousin's brother-in-law. ”

When Xie Chen heard this, he glanced at him coldly, "You have to be careful when you speak, otherwise, you may not be able to open your mouth one day." ”

As soon as the words fell, a voice sounded outside the door, Xie Chen glanced at Rong Qi, who was covering his mouth, and said, "Who is outside, come in!" ”

As the voice fell, the door was opened, and the chief attendant who guarded the door said uneasily: "Childe, it's ......"

"It's me." A gentle voice came, and the first thing that caught my eye was the plain white silk skirt, without beads and hairpins, and without fat powder, which was even more lined with people like a clear lotus, gentle and moving.

Rong Qi raised his eyebrows, I don't know why, why did he think this lady was a bit like ......

"How long have you been out there?" Xie Chen glanced at the tea she was holding and asked.

Zhao blessed his body, "I just came over, and I was about to knock on the door, when I saw Li Chang coming over, but the concubine body disturbed you?" The concubine body is not intentional......"

"That's enough, don't get half a step close to the study in the future, go out!" Xie Chen said with a cold face.

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment and bit his lip, "Then, the concubine made tea herself, you ......"

"You don't need it here, get out, don't let me say it a third time!" Xie Chen was already very impatient, he had ordered earlier not to approach the study without permission, let alone enter the study.

When did his words fall on deaf ears?

Or did he give her too many rights?

Zhao didn't dare to disobey, lowered his head to cover his red eyes, and said, "The concubine knows her mistake, and the concubine will leave." With that, she blessed again, and bowed to Rong Qi, and immediately withdrew.

Even the carefully brewed tea did not remain.

When she went out, Xie Chen looked at Chang Sui, "Go get twenty boards yourself!" ”

Hearing this, Chang Sui breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes!" ”

The door closed, and Rong Qi sighed twice, "Such a delicate wife, you can be so indifferent, I'm curious, is there no one who can let you be gentle except her?" ”

"Someone for you, picked out? If you choose well, you can do it quickly, and your mother will be glad to know it. Xie Chen didn't look at him, and said to himself.

Rong Qi choked and touched his nose silently, "What's that, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a member of the Chen family's faction, and if you want to get him, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" Besides, we don't have a suitable candidate in our hands, who will we push? ”

"It may not have been easy in the past, but now, isn't there a good opportunity?" He said: "Now that the case in Kyoto drags on, the more the criminal department can't crack it in one day, and if Shen Zhuo can't be arrested, his position as a scholar will become more and more hanging." ”

Rong Qi nodded, "But, if you get him down, then who will you push him up?" Besides, it is impossible for the Shen family and the Chen family to sit idly by, right? ”

"I don't care if they sit idly by or not, but the emperor has already ordered that I and Chen Yu are not allowed to intervene in this case, which shows that the position of the secretary of the criminal department is not up to the Chen family to have the final say."

"You mean, the emperor is giving you a chance?"

Xie Chen shook his head, "No, Your Majesty, this is truly impartial. ”

Otherwise, how could they still let Lord Liao take charge of this case, they have something to do with Shen Zhuo, is he gone?

What's more, he is still a member of the Chen family's faction, doesn't it mean that the Chen family will handle this case?

It's just that whether you can sit firmly in this position or not, it is not necessarily.

"As for who to push, although we don't have a suitable candidate in our hands now, however, favors are all accumulated. At a certain point, he is not your person, but also becomes your person. ”

He does not have a suitable candidate, which does not mean that there is no one in the DPRK and China.

Rong Qi listened to his words and nodded to himself, "This officialdom is really complicated enough, fortunately, I am not a person in the officialdom, otherwise, I will either be eaten by you to the point that there are no bones left, or I will be swallowed by the Chen family." ”

Xie Chen pulled the corners of his mouth, looked at him and said, "You secretly check Shen Zhuo's hiding place, it's best to find him before Chen Yu." ”
