If the emperor wants to investigate the old case, he must have many considerations.

But the reason why it is so urgent is still obvious: in order to divert the attention of the emperor's eldest grandson.

In this way, it can not only justifiably convict the emperor's eldest grandson, so that the soldiers of Mobei will not be tied up and delay the warplane, but also avoid the attention of the courtiers from focusing on this matter and causing bad public opinion in the capital.

Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong all thought of this layer.

Therefore, at first, they didn't take the emperor's investigation of the old case too seriously, thinking that it would be better to wait and see for a while.

It's just that among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there are always people who don't think so.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, they immediately caused a lot of waves among the courtiers.

For a while, all kinds of twists and turns continued to be handed up, and the cases mentioned in them were also strange, most of them were quite old and old.

Of course, these cases are not found casually, and everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts.

Most of those who are bent on flattering the emperor are making a fuss about the Wu family. Even if An Lebo has been beheaded, and there is no Wu family left in the capital, they can't stop them from taking out An Lebo's bad deeds in his early years and stirring them up, and that formation seems to pull him out and whip the corpse before he can relieve his hatred.

There are also those who are busy stammering to the top, taking advantage of this opportunity to ********, and all kinds of parties are fighting against each other, and there are many of them who create something out of nothing.

What surprised Lu Qingrong the most was that a few people even brought up the case of scientific research fraud many years ago.

unanimously believed that Lu Yiduo was maliciously framed back then.

To put it mildly, it is an act of dereliction of duty and debity. The more fierce ones bluntly said that An Lebo was playing with power and taking advantage of the fire to rob......

Time has passed, although Lu Yiduo suffered a slight setback in his career back then. The process of regaining innocence is also a little aggrieved, but now that Lu Yiduo has entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, he has long gotten rid of the shadow of what happened back then.

Therefore, when Lu Qingrong heard about this from Jiang Xuan, he was not very enthusiastic.

"The emperor won't really pursue this matter, right?" Lu Qingrong guessed, "After all, An Lebo has already surrendered to the law, and the emperor can't involve Princess Chengyang's Mansion at this time, right?" ”

What happened back then. Qiu Yongan, the captain of the horse, is the most suspicious, and everyone knows it.

Jiang Xuan smiled and asked, "Why not?" ”

Lu Qingrong thought clearly: "It has been less than two months since the emperor succeeded to the throne, and the empress dowager moved to Xiyuan first. There is also the first crown princess who 'hanged herself', not to mention whether the latter has anything to do with the eldest grandson of the emperor, but his defection to Mobei has already been confirmed...... Although these things are all taken care of by the emperor, at this time. If the emperor points the finger at the princess's mansion again. In any case, it will be said that the six relatives will not recognize it......"

In fact, Jiang Xuan completely agreed with her idea.

It's just that the more serious Lu Qingrong's expression is, the more Jiang Xuan wants to tease her.

"Perhaps, the emperor plans to repay us with a peach, and he will really kill his relatives in righteousness!" The corners of Jiang Xuan's mouth curled slightly.

Lu Qingrong heard the meaning of joking, and pretended to be angry and glanced at him.

Why didn't she want to breathe a sigh for her father and let the initiator confess her guilt and surrender the law, but even if the emperor really wanted to repay the favor. It certainly won't be now.

Lu Qingrong didn't continue to say it, but asked casually, "You said that several people have mentioned this matter. Is this against my father, or at you? ”

"It's all a family, what's the difference?" Jiang Xuan asked rhetorically.

“……”

made Lu Qingrong speechless.

Although both of them felt that the emperor would not really look into the case, the atmosphere had always been relaxed before they spoke.

Lu Yiduo's current success is certainly one thing, but there is another reason.

If it weren't for the collusion between Mrs. Wu and An Lebo to blackmail the Lu family with the case of fraud in the science field, Lu Qingrong would not have been able to marry into the Hou Mansion so quickly.

Either way, it's a blessing in disguise for both of them......

As expected, in the end, the emperor did not mention that the case would be retried.

However, there was another case, which was only mentioned by very few people, but the emperor immediately ordered a thorough investigation.

Jiang Xuan came out of the palace with a gloomy face all the way, and finally had to return to the Yu Courtyard.

The pace under his feet was extremely slow, and Jiang Xuan didn't seem to have figured out how to face Lu Qingrong.

"What's going on?" Lu Qingrong rarely saw Jiang Xuan's expression.

"In front of the emperor, someone mentioned the fire at Cheongdam Temple two years ago...... The emperor decided to investigate the case thoroughly. Jiang Xuan said truthfully.

"That's a good thing! We have been tracking for so long, but there are no clues, and now that the emperor has personally decreed, there will only be more resources that can be mobilized, and maybe we will be able to find evidence! Lu Qingrong asked again, "Who mentioned this?" ”

"Chengping Hou." Jiang Xuan added, "The emperor hadn't even heard of this before, and at first he heard about the fire in Qingtan Temple, and a total of ten people died together with the host, so he didn't think it was a big deal...... Later, after being reminded by Chengping Hou, he learned that his mother was in distress in Qingtan Temple in his early years, so he changed his attitude and decided to investigate thoroughly. ”

Lu Qingrong was a little puzzled.

In her impression, most of the Chengping Marquis Mansion are people who are greedy for fame and fortune, and they don't care about justice and people's hearts. What's more, if you want to talk about it, they can be regarded as Mrs. Wu's side......

"How could it be that they mentioned the matter of Cheongdam Temple?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"Because they have a clue." Jiang Xuan wanted to speak and stopped.

Seeing Lu Qingrong looking at him eagerly, Jiang Xuan had no choice but to continue: "When they first mentioned this case, they didn't say that they had evidence. It wasn't until the emperor ordered a thorough investigation that they followed suit and said that they had mastered important human witnesses...... According to them, it was the theft of the Chengping Marquis Mansion, and when they interrogated them after tracking down the thieves, someone confessed to the matter by mistake......"

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but worry when he saw him: "Can you be sure that it was the one who set the fire two years ago?" Don't just admit it, right? ”

"It's the people who have been involved in this." Jiang Xuan was very sure, "According to the details relayed by Chengping Hou, the details are very consistent with what the people we sent back then saw in the past. ”

Lu Qingrong was even more puzzled: "Then why do you still look sad?" ”

"They confessed in great detail, and even admitted that the reason why they went to kill the mouth was to cover up the fact that their mother was in distress at Qingtan Temple......

"So long ago, all the things confessed together?" Lu Qingrong couldn't help but ask, "Did they mention who instructed them?" ”

Looking forward to hearing "Mrs. Wu" from his mouth.

But he didn't want to, Jiang Xuan's face was gloomy to the extreme: "They actually said that they were instructed by their mother!" ”

"Mother? Isn't that nonsense! Mother has been dead for many years......"

"It's your mother." Jiang Xuan finally said it. (To be continued.) )
