Chapter 39: Turmoil
Du Juan'er glanced at him suspiciously, although the whole person still looked uneasy, but fortunately he was not trembling. After Du Chuanlin appeased his second daughter, he turned to worry about Du Yan, this kind of thing happened at the banquet, and Du Yan happened to be absent, how could he not worry.
However, how did He Meng go to the thatched house for so long, and now it has been at least half a quarter of an hour. Du Chuanlin felt more and more flustered at the moment, covering his heart with one hand, and his whole face was entangled, Du Juan'er on the side noticed something strange, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Du Chuanlin, serving Du Chuanlin to drink.
After Du Chuanlin drank a cup of tea, his heart throbbed under the pressure, and he raised his hand to beckon his subordinates.
"Who of you knows where the eldest lady has gone?" Du Chuanlin took a breath and asked in a cold voice. The people who were asked all said that they didn't know, and they didn't see Du Yan, and after hearing the reply, Du Chuanlin's face was directly covered with a layer of frost, and this girl would make a mess for him, at this moment, who has the energy to go to her!
Du Chuanlin was still in his heart to educate Du Yan to be ignorant, and he saw An Mingxun approaching from a distance in black, I don't know why Du Chuanlin also wanted to know who was killed at the moment, so nervous that a thin layer of sweat appeared in his palms.
An Mingxun changed his calm look in the past, and at this time, he lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt on one knee with a solemn expression, facing the emperor. An Mingxun suddenly looked at Du Chuanlin, but only a few seconds later, he looked at the emperor again. Seeing his solemn expression, the emperor thought that something really happened to him, and asked anxiously.
"An Aiqing, what happened in the rear, how did you react like this." An Mingxun raised his head again, and seemed to hesitate for a moment before continuing: "Your Majesty, the minister has found out the cause of the case. ”
———— the corpse of Houshan is ......, and it belongs to Mrs. He of the Prime Minister's Mansion! The minister has found out that Mrs. He died from a hidden weapon, which should be a killer with internal strength and deep depth....
"What did you say!" Before An Mingxun finished speaking, Du Chuanlin stood up in a sigh, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the whole person seemed to fall down as soon as he touched it.
Du Juan'er looked dumbfounded, as if she didn't understand An Mingxun's meaning at all, the corpse was ....., it was her mother's! How can it be!! Her mother just went to the thatched house, just ......., just went to the thatched house .......
Du Juan'er suddenly couldn't stop crying, the cry was intermittent, but the sound was more heart-rending than the other. There were several families on the scene who were friendly with the Prime Minister's Mansion who threw comforting glances, but these Du Juan'er couldn't see that nothing was meaningless in front of a person who cried loudly after hearing the news of his mother's death.
She only knew how to cry, she only knew that she kept crying, as if she could cry and faint, and then wake up and find that it was a dream, but no, everyone present knew no.
If the person who went to investigate was another little general, it was possible to admit his mistake, but it was An Mingxun, the An family and the Du family were in-laws, An Mingxun personally checked, how could he misrecognize Aunt He.
Du Chuanlin was infected by the comforting gazes of the people around him, and suddenly sat on the ground, his body was crooked, and he almost couldn't support himself.
This matter was too sudden, and there was no reason, the people of the entire Du Mansion could not accept it, and the subordinates supported the delirious Du Juan'er. Up and down the Du Mansion, he was embarrassed for a while.
The emperor didn't seem to be able to stand it, and even asked someone to take care of Du Cheng, maybe the emperor didn't expect that it was Du Chuanlin's wife who died, and sighed for a while that the world was impermanent.
"Prime Minister, mourning. This matter will be taken over by An Mingxun, and it will be investigated and found out, and the perpetrators will be brought to justice. ”
After the emperor comforted Prime Minister Du Cheng, and appointed An Mingxun to continue the investigation, he thought that the matter was already over, he not only gave face to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also comforted the ministers.
It's a pity that Du Chuanlin doesn't seem to think so, he knelt on the ground, a pair of old hands trembling and clenching his fists, this matter can't be investigated by An Mingxun, An Mingxun's identity is known to everyone, and the thief will definitely not easily appear in front of An Mingxun, if you want to find out about this matter, you must also be a person in the dark.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is courageous. I would like to ask the 'Reward and Punishment Gate' to intervene to avenge my wife's revenge. The old minister begs His Majesty to agree! After Du Chuanlin finished speaking, the surrounding discussion started again, as we all know, the "reward and punishment door" is a private inspection agency established by the emperor of the current dynasty, which is dedicated to the royal service, and there are many masters in it, I heard that even the people on the rivers and lakes have it, this one has always been vigorous and resolute, and the efficiency is extremely high, except for the emperor himself, no one knows their true identity.
Du Chuanlin's request has actually been exceeded, but since Du Chuanlin is the prime minister of the dynasty, he must have a certain level, and it depends on whether the emperor gives it or not.
Sure enough, the emperor groaned a little after hearing Du Chuanlin's request, if he didn't agree today, he was afraid that he would lose people's hearts. If he wants to be trusted in the future, it will be difficult, and his court must work together.
"Okay, I will order the reward and punishment gate to investigate this matter, and I will definitely give Prime Minister Du justice." After the emperor said this, Du Chuanlin also sat on the ground and frequently knocked on Long En.
Such a thing suddenly happened in the middle of the banquet, and it was impossible to open it, so the emperor waved goodbye to the ministers, and told everyone to go back to sleep peacefully, and the truth of the reward and punishment door would be revealed.
Everyone replied and said goodbye to the emperor, and before they had gone far from the banquet, four or five people began to gather in a group and talk about it.
"Prime Minister Du Cheng is really high and powerful, and even the saint gave him three points of thin noodles."
"Shhh Prime Minister Du Cheng is a person who will take revenge, you should be careful of your tongue! ”
"Hahaha, Master Li is really, what are you doing to scare me." The man who was called Master Li narrowed his slender eyes, as if he had seen through people, and finally shook his head to himself. told everyone else to look at it, and the few people gathered around hurriedly asked him.
"What does Master Li mean by this, and what else is there not to tell me? We're very good friends with Master Li. ”
"That's it." The rest of the people hurriedly followed, although this Li Shangyuan is not a big man, but he has the lifeblood of business at hand, he knows everything in and out of this imperial city, and therefore knows the secrets of some people.
Li Shangyuan snorted coldly in his mouth, and if no one left by himself, the remaining few people were bored and stopped asking.
Li Shangyuan walked from the front, and Li Xi originally followed from a distance and saw that there was no one around his father, so he stepped forward.
Li Xi clasped his hands together and bowed to Li Shangyuan, "Father." ”
The corners of Li Shangyuan's eyes twitched, and he only responded lightly, Li Shangyuan's voice belonged to recognition, and Li Xi immediately stepped forward to walk with Li Shangyuan.
"How about the things that were handed over to you this time." It was Li Shangyuan who spoke, and he asked Li Xi with a businesslike face.
