Chapter 38: Courage (Ask for Collection)
What is called back pot, this is back pot.
Li Lang was very speechless, and at this time, Xu Hui beside him also took a step back.
"What are you doing?" Li Lang gave her a strange look.
Xu Hui thought for a while and said: "King Xiang, after thinking about it last night, I think it is really inappropriate for a widow to live in the palace, so I don't ask Your Majesty for me in person, I decided that I will mention it to Niangniang immediately later, and I will not send anyone to your Xiangwang Mansion in the future." ”
Hearing this, Li Lang really wanted to find a steamed bun and kill him.
However, it should be because of what he and Mingyue did in bed last night, which made Deputy Commander Xu scared, thinking that I was an old pervert.
Because of this, I retreated.
Hehe......
Li Lang still wanted to see the young ladies of Taohuawei again, but now he could only spread his hands and said: "Okay, follow the great commander's convenience, but can you decide?" ”
"I'll find a way to convince my mother, I'll quit first."
When Xu Hui heard this, she was like being pardoned, and after giving up her hand to Li Lang, she left quickly.
Alas......
How did I, Li Lang, become so disgusted and hateful.
Now that Xu Hui is gone, Li Lang can only go to the emperor's palace alone.
In the council hall, the old emperor sat on the dragon chair, and today was the first time he had gone to court in the past two years.
After all the courtiers to be summoned arrived, Hu Zhe and his henchmen also came in, and Li Lang also entered the door under the suspicious gaze of the courtiers, he spoke:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't been to the court for two years, and many state affairs have been handed over to the queen, so I don't know much about the situation in the court, so I would like to ask you, which position is vacant among the six ministries now?"
An old man in a purple robe stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now the position of the right attendant of the Criminal Department is vacant. ”
The emperor nodded and said, "Zhang Zaifu, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”
The so-called candidates have long been discussed before the court, and now they are just a formality.
Zhang Zaifu thought for a while and said, "King Xiang and the Marquis of Xuyang are both competent. ”
After Zhang Zaifu finished speaking, the red-robed middle-aged man beside him came out and said: "No, if Zaifu recommends the Marquis of Xuyang, the lower officials have nothing to say, but His Royal Highness King Xiang, he has never participated in court politics, how can he be qualified for such an important position." ”
"Yes, the minister seconded."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
As soon as the words of the middle-aged man in the red robe fell, many courtiers came out of class, and Emperor Jin looked at the neat and uniform team below, and his face darkened.
Zhang Zaifu smiled at this time and said, "Master Kang, it seems that Xuyang Hou understands prison lawsuits. ”
When Hu Zhe heard this, his originally happy face immediately turned cold.
Zhang Zaifu paused, and then said: "What's more, you haven't tried it, why don't you know that His Royal Highness King Xiang can't do it?" ”
Have you tried?
Li Lang looked up at the ceiling and did not speak.
Seeing this, Emperor Jin nodded with a smile and said, "What Zhang Aiqing said is reasonable, so let the two of them try it out in the Criminal Department." ”
Zhang Zaifu followed Emperor Jin's words and asked, "Then may I ask Your Majesty, how should I compete?" ”
Emperor Jin thought for a while and said, "What are the old cases in the Criminal Department now?" ”
Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department came out of the class and replied: "Your Majesty, there are exactly two major cases in Handan City now, and the real culprit has not been caught yet. ”
Emperor Jin's eyes lit up, "Oh, which are the two big cases?" ”
Under the inquiring gaze of Emperor Jin, Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department told the two major cases that had recently caused a sensation in the entire Jingshi.
One is a serial murder case that occurred in Wanyulou, Changle Fang, Handan:
Wanyulou is a green building, and as soon as you hear the name, you can know that this is not a serious place.
Recently, the flower girl in the Qinglou is often killed at night, and her body is thrown by the river, and her death is extremely miserable.
But the murderer has not been found so far, which has also brought serious adverse effects to Changlefang and even the entire Handan.
The other is the case of a headless corpse that happened in a grocery store in the west of the city:
The owner of the grocery store in the west of the city is three brothers, the second of whom died outside the backyard of the grocery store the night before, and the eldest of them disappeared after the death of the second child.
The people in the county government suspected that the boss had killed the second child and absconded in fear of crime.
It's just that in the process of identifying the body, the third and the eldest daughter-in-law had an argument, and the eldest daughter-in-law pointed to the body of the deceased and said that this was not the second child, but her Hun family-the boss.
But the third brother pointed to the corpse and said that this was his second brother, and it was indeed the eldest who absconded in fear of crime......
The Chengxi grocery store is under the jurisdiction of Ping'an County.
Changle Fang is under the jurisdiction of Yongan County.
The two county officials had no idea what to do with these two cases, and the murderers had not been caught so far, so in order to solve the case as soon as possible, they reported it to the criminal department.
After listening to the report of the left servant of the Criminal Department, Emperor Jin nodded and said: "That's right, let King Xiang and Xuyang Hou each be responsible for a case, whoever solves the case he is responsible for first will be the right waiter of the Criminal Department." ”
Emperor Chrysostom said that as soon as the words came out, they couldn't change it.
Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department asked again: "Then who should be in charge of the case of Changle Fang, and who should be in charge of the case of the Chengxi grocery store?" ”
Hu Zhe came out of class and said: "The minister is willing to be in charge of the case of Changle Fang, and the headless corpse case is relatively simple, so it will be given to King Xiang." ”
The emperor cast his gaze on Li Lang, "Does King Xiang have any opinions?" ”
It's so lucky to be able to join the Criminal Department.
What was that Zaifu's surname just now? Jang Jae-fu, remember him.
However, I have never been in contact with the headless corpse case.
But even if I haven't been in contact, I have to take it, because this is my stepping stone to victory, and it is the stepping stone to the Imperial Sister-in-law Kunning Palace.
In any case, take it.
Li Lang had no opinion, and said directly: "The younger brother is willing to be in charge of the headless corpse case." ”
Emperor Jin nodded and smiled: "That's fine, you all go down and prepare." ”
Everyone withdrew from the council hall, and Hu Zhe looked at Li Lang: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Xiang to calmly agree to this headless corpse case."
What I can tell you, though, is that even if you have a way to solve the case, no one will come to your aid. ”
When Li Lang heard this, he chuckled in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said to Hu Zhe: "It seems that my son has increased the difficulty of handling cases for his father, and has used some means." ”
"That's right, from today on, there is no one in Handan City, and a promoter is willing to use it for your king. Just wait and throw in the towel. ”
After Hu Zhe finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, "What did you call me just now?" ”
"Son, did the Marquis of Xuyang forget that when he was in Daming Palace, he called me Dad?"
Li Lang smiled heartily, the courtiers around him had not finished dispersing, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Hu Zhe with strange eyes.
Hu Zhe's face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily: "Li Yanxin! ”
Li Lang said sharply: "Xuyang Hou, why don't we make a bet?" ”
Hu Zhe said with a little curiosity: "What bet?" ”
Li Lang said: "Bet on which of us will solve the case in our hands first." ”
Hu Zhe listened with great excitement: "Okay, what about the bet?" ”
Li Lang said: "The bet is...... Whoever loses, who calls the other party's dad. ”
Hu Zhe laughed happily, "Hahaha, Li Yanxin, Li Yanxin, you don't die if you don't see the Yellow River, you don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin, okay, I'll bet with you, whoever loses, call the other party's father." ”
However, you have to call me dad this time, because no one in the capital is willing to help you, no, not one. ”
"Heh, how do you know if you don't try."
After Li Lang finished speaking, he turned around very simply.
Hu Zhe didn't forget to ask behind him: "Who gave you the courage to bet with me?" ”
"A woman."
