The emperor who was going to move to live in the house had not had time to move to the past, and this happened to the emperor, which made the emperor a little annoyed, he believed Shen Leng, but now there is evidence that if there is any more physical evidence, he is the emperor, and he has to let Han Zhaozhi go to investigate seriously.

"The people in the Tingwei's Mansion ......"

Han Zhaozhi looked at the emperor with apologetic eyes: "There may be something wrong, the minister has always been very sure of the subordinates of the Tingwei Mansion, but this time it ......"

The emperor said: "What you mean is that the people in the Tingwei Mansion and the people of the Yao family should be combined to form Shen Leng. ”

"The minister suspects, that's it."

Han Zhaozhi said: "Yao Chaozong is dead, it is definitely not an accident, although some torture methods have been used against him, it should not be dead...... The minister is now asking him to find out what kind of medicine it is. ”

"People can't speak......"

Han Zhaozhi suddenly reacted: "There is such medicine in the Tingwei Mansion. ”

The emperor frowned: "There is such a medicine in the Tingwei Mansion?" ”

"There is ......"

Han Zhaozhi lowered his head and said: "The Tingwei Mansion is mainly composed of two parts, one is the law enforcement courtier, and the other is the logistics support, and the logistics support is divided into three small ya, the treasury, the armament, and the treatment. ”

The Emperor nodded: "I know." ”

"The people of the Armament Division have been researching the equipment, armor, and various tools that are more suitable for the Tingwei to use in handling cases, and the treatment department was all transferred from the military doctor back then, but later with the expansion, some Jianghu doctors were recruited, and they can configure some medicines, which are divided into three types, one is a drug, one is a poison, and the other is a wound drug, and there is a kind of numbness in the drug, and the person who has used it will soon lose his strength, and his throat will be paralyzed and he will not be able to make a sound, this medicine was originally thought up by the people of the Shen Family Medical Hall, It's just that the Shen Shen San's Ma Shen San in the Shen Family Medical Pavilion can't make people speechless, and it is the effect of the people in the Tingwei Mansion Treatment Department after improvement. ”

The emperor sighed: "In other words, the person who gave Yao Chaozong the medicine was not only from the Tingwei Mansion, but also from the Tingwei Mansion. ”

Han Zhaozhi knelt on the ground: "The minister is guilty." ”

The emperor frowned and said, "Now it is not a question of whether you are guilty or not, it is a question of what to do in this matter." ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "The minister thinks that this matter will be pressed down first, and the minister will carefully check it in the Tingwei Mansion, as long as this person is from the Tingwei Mansion, uses the medicine of the treatment department, and enters the back kitchen, it should not be difficult to find out." ”

"Press down?"

The emperor's face was a little unpleasant: "If their target is Shen Leng, do you think they will press it down?" Someone will mention it at the court meeting early tomorrow morning, and even if no one mentions it at the court meeting, they will find a way to make trouble for everyone to know. ”

"The most vicious thing is not to let me know about this, not to let the courtiers know about this, but to let the people of Chang'an City know about it."

The emperor looked at Han Zhaozhi: "Leave Yao Jiu'er behind, I will ask in person, you go back to the Tingwei Mansion, and check it carefully." ”

"Obey."

Han Zhaozhi turned around and walked out quickly, and the emperor looked at Yao Jiu'er, who was kneeling and trembling: "I ask you now, who instructed this matter?" Han Zhaozhi should have asked you, but his question is different from what I asked, if you confess truthfully, I can give you a life, which Han Zhaozhi can't give you. ”

Yao Jiu'er couldn't stop kowtowing: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister is indeed telling the truth, the first time Yao Chaozong saw Shen Leng, the criminal minister followed, in order not to be noticed, they all met on the side of the road, saying that the more crowded the place, the safer it is, and the criminal minister is there the whole time." ”

The emperor snorted: "You still dare to talk nonsense? ”

Yao Jiu'er just kept kowtowing: "The criminal minister really didn't talk nonsense, and the criminal minister didn't frame the general Shen Leng, but it was true." ”

"Then you tell me, where was the first time Yao Chaozong and Shen Leng met?"

"It's at the roadside stall not far from Guangde Building, and I'm eating knife-cut noodles."

Yao Jiu'er's voice trembled, and he didn't know whether he was scared or nervous, or both, and he didn't dare to look up at the emperor, but he said these words over and over again.

The emperor asked, "That vendor is there every day?" ”

Yao Jiu'er nodded immediately: "It should be there, and the criminal minister is not very sure, he just casually found a stall on the side of the road and sat down to talk, but there were no other diners at that time, so it is difficult to prove." ”

The emperor let out a long breath: "Spread Shen Leng into the palace." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Fangzhou hurriedly ran in from outside: "Your Majesty, General of the Naval Division, Shen Leng of An Guogong asks to see you." ”

The emperor turned around: "Who told him?" ”

Dai Fangzhou looked aggrieved: "The slave maid really has no one to go out, and he doesn't dare to send people indiscriminately without His Majesty's will, so An Guogong shouldn't know yet." ”

"Let him in!"

The Emperor let out a long breath, sat down in his chair, and said, "I want to hear what he has to say. ”

Not long after, Shen Leng came in with that set of armor, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground: "Minister Shen Leng, please meet Your Majesty." ”

The emperor snorted: "Your news is well-informed, and you immediately knew what I just knew, and then immediately brought something with you, let's say, who gave you the news, is it someone from the Ouchi Guard's Office, or someone from the Imperial Governor's Mansion, or someone from the forbidden army?!" ”

Shen Leng was taken aback: "The minister doesn't understand, what kind of letter do you report?" ”

The emperor looked at him with an expression that did not seem to be fake: "What are you holding in your arms?" ”

"A set of armor, the minister just got it today."

"Hahahaha!"

The emperor's hand slapped on the armrest: "What a coincidence!" You received it today, and you sent it to the palace overnight today? Tell you the truth, who gave you the news! ”

Don't blame Your Majesty for thinking like this, it's really too coincidental.

His Majesty didn't let Shen Leng get up, he had to kneel there and continue, telling everything about today's day, and explaining in detail how the armor was obtained, the emperor frowned and listened, and kept looking at Shen Leng's face.

"Then why did you send the armor to the palace?"

After listening to Shen Leng's words, the emperor asked.

"Something is wrong with this armor."

Shen Leng said: "If this set of armor is really something from the Chu period, it has been hundreds of years old, but it is still so well preserved, according to those two people, their family background is generally and even a little embarrassed, how can they have spare money to maintain the armor?" The minister took a closer look, and the cost of maintaining this layer of oil-like things on the outside of the armor is not low, the most important thing is that it is impossible for ordinary people to get this kind of oil at home, and an ordinary person can't afford to use it, and he can't buy it, because this is something that will only be distributed in the Daning army, and it was developed by the Daning Martial Arts Workshop. ”

"So Chen suspects that this armor is not from Chu Shi at all, and it is not something that ordinary people can maintain for hundreds of years, and the smell of oil used is exactly the same as the oil developed by the Daning Martial Arts Workshop, this armor can only be something in the army, or owned by people who have contact with the people in the Martial Arts Workshop."

He raised his head and looked at the emperor: "The minister feels that he is going to be pitted, although he doesn't know what kind of pit it is, but the thing is indeed in the hands of the minister, so the minister should already be in the pit at this moment." ”

The emperor exhaled heavily: "You are indeed in the pit." ”

Shen Leng cautiously asked, "How big is the pit?" ”

The emperor said: "Let you be ruined by such a big pit." ”

The emperor got up and paced slowly in the Dongnuan Pavilion: "If someone wants to frame you, their methods are much more elaborate than before......

After saying this, the emperor paused and looked back at Shen Leng: "Wait and see, how big this pit is, we will know tomorrow." ”

Tomorrow is not far off.

The next day, the morning meeting. When the emperor went to court, he was always waiting for someone to mention this matter, but no one stood up and said from beginning to end, the ministers looked extremely normal, let alone this matter, no one mentioned Shen Leng.

In fact, this is not out of the emperor's expectations, the people who stood up to say this at this time are obviously the ones who framed Shen Leng, they will not be so stupid to ask directly in the court, whoever asks who is stupid to jump out.

Midday.

Wei Lan, the commander of the inner guards, came in from outside, his face was not very good-looking, and after seeing the emperor, he bowed down: "Your Majesty, Lord Han asked someone to send a message, saying that rumors have spread in Chang'an City, and in just half a day, it seems that the entire Chang'an City knows about it, and the people are talking about it, saying that the general Shen Leng took Yao Chaozong's things and pitted people......."

Wei Lan looked at the emperor's face, paused for a moment and said, "The speed of spreading is so fast, and there are so many people who know about it, it is obviously carefully designed, and there are people spreading rumors all over the city. ”

The emperor nodded: "This time it is indeed much more sophisticated than the previous methods. ”

Such a small means, the emperor felt that it was a bit good.

Not long after, another Ouchi guard walked in quickly, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, the Tingwei Mansion has sent news that Yao Jin, the head of the Yao family, personally went to the Tingwei Mansion to report the case, saying that his family's ancestral obscene scale armor was lost. ”

"Huh?"

The Emperor frowned.

The Ouchi guard continued: "Yao Jin said that every ten days he will personally maintain the set of obscene scale armor, the last maintenance was ten days ago, this morning he opened the storeroom at home and found that the obscene scale armor was missing, first checked at home, and after no result, he thought about it again and again to the Tingwei Mansion to report the case. ”

"Hoo ......"

The emperor let out a long breath: "Announce Shen Leng and Yao Jin, and then ask Han Zhaozhi, if the vendor who sells knives and noodles has been found." ”

Before anyone could go out, the chamberlain came in and reported that Han Zhaozhi had taken Yao Jin and a few other people to see him outside the palace, and the emperor asked him to bring them in, and asked him to go to Xuan Shen Leng to enter the palace.

After Han Zhaozhi brought people in, the emperor didn't see them, so he asked them to wait outside the Dongnuan Pavilion, and after waiting for more than half an hour, Shen Leng arrived, and then the emperor asked Dai Fangzhou to call people in.

When those people saw His Majesty for the first time, they were so frightened that they couldn't help but tremble, and they didn't dare to come out when they knelt in the atmosphere.

"Yao Jin, let's talk about it first."

The emperor looked at Yao Jin: "You lost the obscene scale armor on your ancestor?" ”

"Yes, I lost it."

Yao Jin knelt there and said, "It has always been kept by the old minister himself, and I saw it ten days ago." ”

The Emperor pointed to the scale armor on the table: "Is that the one?" ”

Yao Jin raised his head and looked at it, and then his face changed greatly: "How can you be here with Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor ignored him and looked at the vendor selling knives and noodles: "When it was dark yesterday, did Shen Leng, the Duke of Anguo, stay with you?" ”

The vendor raised his head with a panicked expression: "I haven't seen it, the grass people don't know what An Guogong looks like, and they don't know it at all." ”

He secretly looked at Shen Leng: "But looking at the noodles, it seems that he did eat knife-cut noodles at the grass people a few days ago, and there is a man who handed it to him with a package...... No, it was handed over to An Guogong. ”

The emperor looked at Shen Leng, Shen Leng's face was already a little pale, it was anger.

Shen Leng walked up to the peddler: "There were two people in your place who were desperate last night and sold their armor to me, and you still have ......"

Shen Leng swept it, two of them actually ate there last night, so he stretched out his finger and pointed: "The two of them were also there at that time!" ”

The two people seemed to be frightened, and shook their heads again and again: "I did have dinner there last night, but I didn't see Grandpa Guo." ”

Another said: "I really haven't seen it." ”
