On the third day of the second month, in the lobby of the Thousand Households in Nancheng.

The rare Qianhu Jiang Yuanxian also appeared in the lobby at this moment, with Li Wei and Huang Zonglin sitting on his left and right.

In the hall, Sun Liang knelt on the ground and answered Shangguan's question.

"Sun Liang, you said that before you went back to Wu Jianxing to be assassinated, you found that someone was following you, why didn't you report it at that time?" Levi's words were full of majesty.

He was solely responsible for the handling of Wu Jianxing's assassination case, which shows that the entire Jinyiwei attaches great importance to him.

However, Li Wei's question made Sun Liang not easy to answer, and he could not say that he did not trust Shangguan.

"Back to my lord, the three of us couldn't determine the situation at that time, so we didn't rush to report it!"

Although he hopes that Qianhu will strictly investigate this case, but now it seems that he may get into trouble, Sun Liang is very conflicted at the moment.

"Has Wu Jianxing made a feud recently? Is there a gap with people? Levi asked again.

"As far as the lowly knows, no!" Sun Liang's tone was firm.

The three officials in the hall asked expressionlessly, and in the back hall separated by a wall behind them, Chen Xiaoting was here to observe.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Chen Xiaoting got up from his position before he said to Lu Wenzhao, who was serving on the side: "Tell Li Wei, it's almost enough to ask!" ”

While taking steps under his feet, Chen Xiaoting said: "This case will be listed as an enemy seeking revenge, and then the case will be closed!" ”

Lu Wenzhao rarely encountered this kind of opportunity to pass on the word, so he replied respectfully: "All the humble positions have been recorded!" ”

At this moment, Chen Xiaoting had already walked out of the back hall, and there were more than a dozen captains waiting outside.

In addition to these captains who were in charge of the guards, the seven hundred households of the Qianhu family in Nancheng were also here to see Chen Xiaoting leave.

With such a large group of people leaving, it is easy for the people in the lobby to hear the movement.

It wasn't until Chen Xiaoting was sent out of the gate that the hundreds of households dispersed to do things, and Lu Wenzhao entered the lobby of the thousand households.

Slowly walking to Li Wei's side from the side door, Lu Wenzhao first glanced at Sun Liang and signaled him to relax, and then conveyed Chen Xiaoting's meaning to Li Wei.

In fact, Levi had already expected this outcome

So he waved his hand and Lu Wenzhao stepped back, and then said to Sun Liang in the hall: "Sun Liang, that's all for today's question, you can step down!" ”

After Sun Liang got up, he didn't leave immediately, but bowed down and said: "My lord, my eldest brother died unjustly, and I humbly ask my lord to strictly investigate this case and avenge my eldest brother's grievances!" ”

"This official knows what to do, you step down!" Levi said in a deep voice.

But what Li Wei has done in the past two days makes it hard for Sun Liang to believe that he is seriously investigating the case.

Although he did not reconcile with the courtesy, for the sake of the case of the eldest brother and the third child, Sun Liang spoke again: "My lord, I ...... my humble position."

Hearing the sound of "pop", Li Wei slapped the table and said angrily: "Do you want to teach this official how to do things?" ”

"Stand down!"

Being reprimanded so harshly, Sun Liang naturally didn't dare to convict again, so he could only retreat from the lobby.

Looking at the back of Sun Liang leaving, Li Wei said coldly: "This guy is too ignorant of advancing and retreating!" ”

However, the other two sitting in the hall were in no mood to pay attention to the matter.

I only heard Jiang Yuanxian say: "What does Master Chen mean in this case?" ”

In this regard, Huang Zonglin was also full of doubts, so his eyes were staring at Li Wei at this time.

"Lord Chen means that Wu Jianxing was killed by the enemy to close the case!" Levi said bluntly.

Huang Zonglin nodded and said: "Wu Jianxing's death is too inopportune, there have been many fewer disputes in the court in the past two days, and the case should be handled in a low-key manner, otherwise there will only be more incidents!" ”

Since the emperor summoned the two ministers a few days ago, the struggle between the two parties has cooled down a lot, and the most intuitive reaction is that the celebrant has received a lot fewer excerpts.

"At this time, everything should be based on stability, and the external troubles of the court have only been reduced for a few days, and it is time to restore the national strength!" Jiang Yuanxian sighed.

Although he rarely takes care of things, he doesn't know anything at home, so he can say this.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, the war in the southeast and the war between the northwest and the Hu people has eased, which is a good opportunity to alleviate internal contradictions.

Besides, after Sun Liang left the lobby, he was pulled aside by Lu Wenzhao, who was waiting outside.

"What confusion did you just make? I actually talked back to the Lord of a thousand households! Lu Wenzhao lowered his voice and scolded.

Sun Liang's face did not change, although he made his boss unhappy, but it was worth it for the two brothers who died.

"My eldest brother and the three major deaths, I always have to ask them for justice!" Sun Liang said in a deep voice.

"Who do you think you are? Don't you know how dangerous this is? Do the dead or the living matter? Lu Wenzhao poked Sun Liang's chest with his hand.

These words woke up Sun Liang, yes...... There are still living people to be taken care of by him.

"Brother Lu, thank you!" Sun Liang bowed solemnly.

Seeing him like this, Lu Wenzhao didn't say much, if Sun Liang hadn't saved him, he would never have cared about this matter.

"Brother Lu, junior brother still wants to ask, how will the Suppression Division deal with this case?"

When asked about this, Lu Wenzhao himself didn't want to answer, because it involved leaks.

But Sun Liang saved his life after all, which made Lu Wenzhao hesitate for a while, and finally he said: "What to do, you wait for the result!" ”

In the end, reason prevailed over emotion, although Lu Wenzhao believed that Sun Liang would not spread the word, but he was still unwilling to take the risk.

"Let's go, you haven't rested for the past few days, go back and get a good night's sleep first!" Lu Wenzhao patted Sun Liang on the shoulder.

At this moment, Sun Liang was already wearing the official uniform of the general flag, and he was already at the same level as Lu Wenzhao.

Besides, Chen Xiaoting returned to the house, but went directly to the main hall of the inner courtyard, and after taking off his official hat, he lay on the rocking chair.

Although he hasn't sat down for anything in the past few days, he is also dancing on the tightrope, and the pressure in his heart is actually too great.

It was only in the past two days that the court hall slowly cooled down, so that Chen Xiaoting's tight strings slowly relaxed.

Until then, he could not guarantee that the emperor would be able to control the situation quickly.

Once public opinion detonates the topic of Wu Jianxing's assassination, it is easy to put Jinyiwei in the center of the vortex with added fuel and vinegar, and Chen Xiaoting, as the chief official, will never have a good time at that time.

In Chen Xiaoting's view, the struggle between the two parties triggered by the Wang Hai incident has only now really died down.

What Wang Hai himself didn't achieve after he died, but it was realized after the death of a hundred households in Jinyiwei, which is a bit incredible to think about.

"Wu Jianxing is also a well-deserved death!" Chen Xiaoting sighed in a low voice.

The truth about the deaths of these two people will also be buried in history forever because of the cessation of the struggle between the two parties.

Just when Chen Xiaoting sighed in his heart, he heard Shen Yi's voice sounding on the side: "Husband, why did you come back so early today?" ”

"The trouble is solved, so naturally I'll come back early!" Chen Xiaoting looked at his wife who appeared on the side.

Shen Yi came behind Chen Xiaoting, stretched out her hands to rub her husband's left and right temples, and said at the same time: "There is a happy event to tell your husband!" ”

"What's the joy?" Chen Xiaoting asked casually.

Shen Yi said: "Sister Jiahui is happy!" ”

Chen Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, then sat up from the rocking chair, held his wife's hands and said, "When did it happen?" ”

"I just found out today, and the doctor has already seen it!" Shen Yi said with a smile on her face, she is a qualified housewife.

"Where is Jiahui now? Why don't you come and talk to me in person? Chen Xiaoting got up directly and said.

"She's been asleep in the room all afternoon, and the concubine just came out of her room!"

Holding his wife's hand, Chen Xiaoting walked outside the main hall and said at the same time: "Go and see her!" ”
