Chapter 417: Dereliction of Duty

Yu Shu found a chair and sat down, and Liu Tan waved his hand to signal the waiter behind him to show her tea.

"How many days has it been since there was a murder in Taishi Academy?" Liu Tan didn't go around the bend, and opened his mouth to ask.

Yu Shu also guessed his intention, so he was not ambiguous, and after thinking about it, he replied: "It's the sixth day of the first month, and it's been six or seven days." ”

"This king heard that you were the first to discover Miss Cao's family?"

"Well, I accompanied the sixth lady of the Xin family to the stargazing platform to measure the stars at night, and then I saw someone hanging in the hut." Strictly speaking, the first person to find Cao Youling's body was Xin Liucai.

"And what's the note that came out of Miss Cao's room?" Liu Tan frowned slightly, "Why is there a false rumor that she came out at night to meet Uncle Jingchen privately, and was murdered, so Cousin Rui also sent someone to monitor him, is it true?" ”

Yu Shu hesitated: "It is true that I found a note in Miss Cao's room, the handwriting on it is the same as that of Daozi, Brother Xue sent someone to follow Daozi, just to let him avoid suspicion, and there is no surveillance." ”

If it is really surveillance, she should not leave an inch and be strictly guarded, but she saw Jing Chen and Ji Xingxuan walking together in the rain two days ago, and she didn't see any official errands around her.

Liu Tan's face was slightly pale, and when he saw that Yu Shu didn't know why, he sighed lightly and said:

"Yesterday morning, someone reported the case, distorted the facts, claimed that the lady of the family was killed tragically, and said that the uncle was under surveillance because of the murder, but Dali Temple was shielded and neglected to investigate. In a fit of anger, the emperor admonished Guo Huai'an, the secretary of Dali Temple, and then sent his cousin Rui, who was in charge of the case, into the palace, met in the imperial study, and personally asked about the case. At that time, the king did not know what the situation was, but listening to this morning's will, he ordered Cousin Rui to arrest the real culprit within a month, otherwise he would be severely punished for dereliction of duty. ”

Yu Shu was shocked when he heard this, and then thought of Xue Rui's return late yesterday, and he was busy today. It's no wonder that the heart said.

It's a shame that he still dares to say to himself that there is nothing wrong, it all involves the emperor's order to deal with the crime, dereliction of duty, that is to lose the official. Is this called nothing?

Yu Shu was a little depressed Xue Rui hid such a big thing from her, but it was not good to show it too much in front of Liu Tan, he stiffened his face, weighed the proportions, and asked:

"Who deliberately twisted this matter in front of the Holy One?"

The emperor will be angry, the reason why Yu Shu is not difficult to guess is nothing more than because he cherishes Jingchen's nephew. I don't want the reputation of the Daozi he admired to be damaged.

I don't know who is fanning the flames.

Hearing Yu Shu's post, Liu Tan's eyes changed, and he said, "It's Yin Qingfan, the imperial historian." ”

This is an unfamiliar name, Yu Shu has never heard of the court, but the surname Yin, she is not a stranger in Anling City, and she is the prime minister of the dynasty. One is Xue Shangshu, the general leader of the six departments, and the other is Yin Xiangguo, the Yin family is the same as the Xue family. They are all first-class royal relatives and nobles in the capital.

The Xue family has a daughter who is a concubine in the palace, who is Liu Tan's biological mother, and the Yin family also has a daughter who is a concubine in the palace, who is the biological mother of Liu Hao, the king of Ning, Yin Shufei.

Yu Shu thought of these, and couldn't help but feel that this doctor surnamed Yin must be inseparable from King Ning.

Maybe it was instigated by King Ning to muddy the water, no matter who Jingchen or Xue Rui didn't flatter, he was happy to see.

Just when she was full of suspicion. Someone outside the door reported:

"Lord Wang, Lord Xue is back."

"Come in, please."

Yu Shu turned his head and saw the door open, Xue Rui was still wearing the official robe he wore when he left in the morning, and he could see a dull look on his eyebrows, and he glanced at her. Turning to Liu Tan and shaking his hand:

"Respect the king."

Liu Tan was promoted to become a prince, far more than his status as a prince, Xue Rui acted cautiously, even if he had a good personal relationship with Liu Tan, he would not be sloppy with these details.

"Cousin, don't bother, sit down." Liu Tan's tone was much gentler than when he faced Yu Shu just now, and he gave up his seat, but the person sat there and didn't move.

Xue Rui sat down next to Yu Shu, Yu Shu saw that the corners of his mouth were white, and he quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him to quench his thirst, and then without waiting for him to speak, he stood up and said to Liu Tan:

"Lord Wang, since the eldest brother is back, I will retreat first."

Liu Tan nodded, and did not hold back, what he and Xue Rui wanted to say was indeed not suitable for others to listen to.

Yu Shu turned his head and glanced at Xue Rui again before exiting the door.

***

Yu Shu returned to the room, and was not in the mood to copy the data again, so he collected the paper and pen, called the maid to pour water and wash, and told the kitchen to prepare wine and food.

Xue Rui and Liu Tan didn't talk for long, after Yu Shu freshened up, as soon as he changed his clothes, he heard a knock at the door, it was Lin Fu outside:

"Girl, Lord Jing is leaving, and Master Gong calls you down."

Liu Tan left, Yu Shu must have been respected, hurriedly fastened his belt, hurriedly went downstairs, and was just in time for Xue Rui to send Liu Tan to the door of the backyard.

She took a few steps and stood beside Xue Rui.

"The prince walks slowly."

Liu Tan put on a scarlet cloak, turned his gaze to her, smiled slightly, and said, "This king is holding a banquet in Xuanchun Garden, and Lianfang Mo is absent. ”

After that, she bowed down and got into the carriage with the help of the inner attendant, Yu Shu and Xue Rui watched the carriage leave, until she couldn't see it, she raised her head and said to the man next to her:

"Why coax me to say that it's okay, are you sure you can find the murderer within a month?"

"Whether you are sure or not, you have to try it before you know it." Xue Rui was exposed by her, and there was no trace of embarrassment, he said ambiguously, and walked towards the courtyard.

Yu Shu snorted lightly, but no longer pursued him for hiding from her, and slowly followed his footsteps

When Xue Rui was eating, Yu Shu sat on the side to accompany him, holding his cheek with one hand and shaking an empty wine glass to make ideas for him:

"If you really can't do it, it's better to find an excuse to arrest Ji Xingxuan and pry her out."

"The fifth-rank Great Yi Master, without real evidence, how can she extort a confession at will, not to mention that there is King Ning to protect her." Xue Rui vetoed it.

"Otherwise, I will come forward to testify, bring out my set of thaumaturgy, and let's also have a "Ask the Soul" to help you keep the black gauze hat on your head." Yu Shu continued to give him bad ideas.

Xue Rui shook his head again, "Easy learning is not something that everyone can understand, and you can't explain it one by one, in the end, it's still empty words, and it's hard to convince the public, unless you're willing to dedicate your original thaumaturgy to Si Tianjian for verification, are you willing to do it?" ”

Yu Shu said honestly: "Reluctantly." ”

Just kidding, even if she was willing to share her hard work with others, she couldn't explain to those old antiques how the mathematical knowledge of five hundred years later could be applied to the easy learning of five hundred years ago.

Xue Rui was a little frustrated when he saw her unhesitating appearance, and pretended to be displeased: "You can't think about it before you speak." ”

Yu Shu sneered: "I just think about it twice, but I am reluctant, so why bother." ”

Xue Rui couldn't get angry at such a heartless person, and he couldn't laugh if he wanted to.

This time, he was accidentally calculated by others and fell into a dilemma, so he got this step to make a military warrant, and in the face of this hidden murder, he really had a headache.

It's not that he doesn't have the means to investigate, but it is inevitable that he will offend some people, and then he will tell the truth, that is, he will drink to quench his thirst.

Fortunately, there is still some time for him to slowly get a headache.

Yu Shu looked at Xue Rui's inadvertent frown, knowing that he was troubled, she thought for a moment, straightened her face, and said:

"Don't laugh, I really have some eyebrows, maybe I can help you."
