"Take over?! How dare I, a woman, take over the affairs of the prefect. Yin Yuxi said as he chewed, "If nothing else, the food in this mansion tastes extremely good." What's your name? ”

"The little Wei Zeying, the elder brother Wei Zezhi is on an errand in the palace." After Wei Zeying finished speaking, he pulled up the bowl with a chop.

Yin Yuxi looked at him in a hurry to eat, and was very funny, "Didn't you eat in the morning?" ”

Wei Zeying hurriedly put down the bowl and waved his hand, "I ate it in the morning, it's just ...... The food at home is not as delicious as here. He smiled and continued to ask,

"County Lord, tell the truth. The prefect of this capital is the most difficult, and you don't blame the prefect. After all, this capital is full of powerful people, and once the case involves powerful nobles, if you want to be fair, you will definitely be excluded by those adults, and if you are not fair, you will be scolded by the people. ”

Hearing this, Yin Yuxi turned pale, "What you said is certainly right. How could she not understand the sinister nature of this officialdom.

After lunch, Yin Yuxi instructed Wei Zeying to call all the officials to the main hall, compared to the morning, these officials were clever and obedient.

"I went to the Xu family in the morning and found some clues, and I will take you to check all the people in the capital this afternoon."

Wei Zeying hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the county lord, who should be investigated?" What clues to look for? ”

"You don't need to know that." In order not to leak the news, Yin Yuxi decided to go in person, "You just need to cooperate with me and Yindong." ”

"And what if you can't finish it today?" Someone else asked.

Yin Yuxi pursed her lips, and her voice was serious, "If you can't finish the investigation today, you will investigate it overnight, and you will have to check all the people with clues, and the case will be solved tomorrow." ”

Several officials whispered again, and they didn't seem to agree with Yin Yuxi's decision.

With a "snap", Yin Yuxi slapped the table fiercely, "The truth of a case can only be found out in the shortest possible time, and the longer the time, the faster the evidence will disappear." After saying that, she looked at everyone,

"Don't worry, if you can't go home on time, I will compensate myself, and you have to eliminate all distractions this afternoon, understand?"

Only Wei Zeying replied, "Understood." ”

Yin Yuxi's face had a low temperature trend, "I'll say it again, can you understand?" ”

"Understood." This time, the officials spoke in unison.

At this time, Yinbei hurriedly chased after him, walked to Yinyuxi's side and said, "County Lord, my subordinates just went to engrave the seal to inquire about the mud of the jade seal that can only be used in the homes of officials with this color of five grades or above. ”

Hearing this, Yin Yuxi nodded, her expression a little more relaxed, "This is a little simpler." Taking the paper in Yindong's hand, which indicated the address of each official, she looked at the three houses on East Street,

"Alright, let's go to Changfu first."

Yindong walked in the front, Yinyuxi followed, and a line of officials behind him, walking through the people were curious, and came to the gate of Changfu, Yindong took the token given by the emperor, and the guards at the door made a request, and everyone entered.

Because it was just past noon, and the people in the mansion were still resting, Yindong turned his head and asked, "County Lord, you have to talk to Lord Chang first." ”

Yin Yuxi nodded and instructed Yindong, "I'll come to the main hall first and wait, you go and bring all the people who have access to the seal here." ”

"Yes, County Lord." Yindong waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to lead the way and take the official to the account room.

After a while, Master Chang hurriedly walked in, his face was a little embarrassed, "What does the county lord mean by this, and he didn't say a word to the old man, so he brought the official to search, the county lord is too bold." ”

Yin Yuxi's bright and beautiful eyes returned to a cold and arrogant look, "This has always been the case with officials. ”

was simply fooled by her, and the second master Chang was really angry, "Come on, blast these people out for me, dare to search my house casually, do you think I'm a bully?" ”

"Master Chang seems to be a little weak-hearted." Yin Yuxi looked at the face of the second master Chang.

"Weak heart, I'm just a small writer, what can I have." After speaking, the second master Chang couldn't help but take a step back, obviously not believing what he said, Xu felt that he was a little too much, he took a step back and sat down.

Yin Yuxi saw it in his eyes, hooked his lips, dragged his fingers on the side of his face, and smiled gently, "A small writer is indeed nothing, but I see that the seats in this main hall are all carved from golden silk nanmu, and this writer Lang's fortune seems to be not enough for you to use golden silk nanmu." ”

Chang Er's breath was stagnant, he didn't expect the county lord of Yuxi to find this when he came in, and he was busy calming his thoughts, "The county lord laughed, these are just the return gifts brought by the lady's mother's family when she married the lady." ”

"I don't know where Madame's maiden house is, there is such a good golden silk nanmu, I like it too." Yin Yuxi rolled his eyebrows, touched the carving on the table with his fingers, and smiled,

"In ten days, I will also get married, why don't you ask Mrs. Chang to bring me a set of tables and chairs made of golden silk nanmu?"

Chang Er's smile became more and more sparse, this golden silk nanmu was given by the prince when he won him over, and now let him prepare a set, this ...... It's really hard for him.

Without waiting for Second Master Chang to answer, Yin Yuxi chuckled, "That's it, how can I, a dignified county lord, not even have this golden silk nanmu, but just laughing with Second Master Chang." ”

Saying that, Yindong had already brought the people from the account office over, "County Lord, these two are the people who often come into contact with jade seals. ”

Yin Yuxi waved his hand for the two of them to come over, and ordered, "Spread your palms out and let me see." But she found that the palms of the two people were very clean, and there were no red marks, so she asked,

"Where were you both the night before, looked me in the eye and said."

Both of them thought for a moment, and one of them replied first, "My wife and I were at home that night. ”

Another also replied, "I haven't married yet, and I've been staying at home with my little nephew." ”

Hearing this, Grandpa Chang probably guessed Yin Yuxi's intentions, and he hurriedly echoed, "County Lord, you can see that my two bookkeepers are as thin as firewood, and they are very weak, where have they done murder." ”

Yin Yuxi glanced at Second Master Chang coldly, the two of them looked normal and showed no signs of lying, so they dispelled the doubts in their hearts, "What Master Chang said is right, the two of you can go down." ”

Master Chang's expression relaxed slightly, and he changed his attitude just now, and praised, "I didn't expect the county lord to be really careful and smart." ”

Yin Yuxi still looked cold and arrogant, and stood up, "Then we won't bother Master Chang." He turned and walked away.

After Yin Yuxi left, the second master Chang hurriedly waved his hand, "Chang Yan, you quickly go to King Cheng's mansion and tell Lord Cheng that Lord Yuxi is personally investigating Miss Xu's case." ”

"Yes, sir." As the saying goes, take the order and go.

Second Master Chang sat on the chair and thought far away, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw Chang Qinghan standing at the door, and he suddenly regained his kind smile,

"What is Han'er doing hiding there?"

Chang Qinghan hurriedly ran over and said coquettishly, "Daddy, I heard that the investigation of the county lord of Yuxi has been found in our house, why is one of her daughters showing up all day long, aren't you afraid of others telling jokes?" "With a roll of his eyes,

"What's more, she's about to get married, so no one in Luan Mansion will talk about her."

Second Master Chang touched Chang Qinghan's head, but he was thinking about something else, "Han'er, you are not young anymore, my father has been thinking about finding you a husband these days, I don't know which son you like?" ”

Hearing this, Chang Qinghan smiled shyly, "Daddy, daughter...... Didn't my father say that my daughter should think about my mother's family, and I don't know which son-in-law my father wants his daughter to find? ”

Second Master Chang was very relieved to hear this, worthy of being his daughter, so he said with a straight face, "This Luan Mansion is now in full swing, and it is very favored by the emperor." My father wants you to choose one of the sons of Luanfu, how about it? ”

Chang Qinghan thought about it carefully, except for Luan Yi, she was not very familiar with the other sons, so she could only respond first, "My daughter knows, but my daughter still needs to think about it, and then tell her father, how about it?" ”

"Now, only Luan Wen, Luan Yi, and Luan Feng are unmarried in Luan Mansion, Luan Yi you know, this person is also afraid that you will be difficult to control, so choose from the remaining two sons." The second master Chang is also afraid that his daughter will be wronged when she marries.

"Mmmm, my daughter is thinking about it."

Next, Yin Yuxi had already led people to the gate of the Tan Mansion, but the guards of the Tan Mansion did not let them in, waiting for a guard to go and pay a respect, before entering.

I just saw that Master Tan was already standing in the courtyard, "The Lord of Yuxi County is here, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

"The lord of this county is ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case of Miss Xu's wrongful death, and I hope that Master Tan can cooperate." Yin Yuxi flicked the hem of her skirt and swept over Master Tan, and instructed Yindong,

"It's still the old rules, I'm waiting for you in the main hall."

"Yes, County Lord." Yindong was about to take the order and leave.

Master Tan stopped everyone, "What are you doing, you are acting without my permission." Turning to the silver jade breath,

"Lord Yuxi, the emperor allowed you to investigate the case, but he didn't allow you to take people from the government to invade other people's houses."

Yin Yuxi stopped and turned his head sharply, "Yes, I remember that the law of my court stipulates that where suspects are hidden, except for the palace, officials can enter and leave at will. As an official of the imperial court, Master Tan can't even remember the law, and I will tell the emperor tomorrow so that Master Tan can study the law well. ”

"Silver Jade Breath!" Old Man Tan's fingers trembled, "Okay, okay, I'll let you search it today, I'll see what you can find." ”

"Big brother, the county lord is just deliberately angry with you, how can you be fooled so easily." Second Master Tan only walked slowly at this time, and his voice was steady.

Master Tan's temperament was not as sleek as Second Master Tan, so he had to step aside and let his second brother deal with the matter.

"Second Master Tan laughed, the lord of this county is handling the case according to the rules, and Second Master Tan, as a waiter in the Criminal Department, should know the law best."
