When Lu Xiaofeng returned to the Yamen of Yingtianfu, it was already the time to hold the lamp, he was happy and proud in his heart, today's affairs were done very smoothly, smoothly beyond his imagination, the file was under the cover of Zhao Quande, and it really went to the bookcase of the head of the Beiping Division, thinking of his own wit and extraordinary luck, Lu Xiaofeng hummed a little song unexpectedly, and when he arrived at the yamen, as soon as the sedan chair landed, he shook his head and drilled out, he wanted to hurry up to find the third aunt Tai Liu, and find Liu's happy and happy.

But just as he was walking towards the mansion with passion, he saw Ma Huateng running over in a hurry, looking very anxious: "Oh, my lord, why did you come back, something happened." ”

Lu Xiaofeng sighed in his heart, fuck, why is there something wrong again! Zhu Di's matter has just passed, don't have any more accidents at this time, I have enough trouble, but Ma Huateng's nervousness has inadvertently infected Lu Xiaofeng: "What's so panicked?" ”

Ma Huateng frowned and explained: "This afternoon, our patrol officer happened to encounter a murder case in the south of the city, and the strangers on both sides had a dispute over trivial matters, one of them was directly killed on the street, and our patrol officer was about to take people, and unfortunately caught up with the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division, and they also wanted to take people, and the two sides had a dispute over who should take people, but fortunately, we were quick and controlled the murderer first, and snatched the case back." But he didn't want to catch a trouble, and the culprit came back for the first trial to know that the murderer was Chu Liuxiang, the second housekeeper of the Qin Palace, who was drunk, and had a conflict with a splash on the street, and beat the splash to death. ”

Lu Xiaofeng's head buzzed, he just pushed away King Yan's hot case, and now it is another case that has a side to King Qin, fucking this Ying Tianfu Yin is really difficult to do, thinking of this, he couldn't help but be angry, and scolded: "Which bastard patrolled the streets, what did you rob with the people of the Soldiers and Horses?" Why do you care about so many idle things, are you full of food! Now go and get me that street patrol troublemaker, sir, I'll interrogate him first, and I'm going to break his legs." ”

Ma Huateng said in embarrassment: "The one who came back from arresting people is Liu Jianxiao, and he is in the backyard now." ”

This Liu Jianxiao is Lu Xiaofeng's most favored third aunt Liu's younger brother, is Lu Xiaofeng's brother-in-law, this person was just a butcher who killed pigs, since Liu entered Lu Xiaofeng's door, Lu Xiaofeng placed him in the yamen to do some chores, and later found a reason to promote him to sit in the inspection school, originally just wanted to please Liu's heart, how did he think of causing such a big disaster to himself today, Lu Xiaofeng regretted how to promote this thing, and scolded: "Bastard, isn't this nothing to look for, and don't you think Lao Tzu is troublesome enough?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went inside, no matter whether this Chu Liuxiang was convicted or not, and how he was convicted, he must meet now. Chu Liuxiang was not detained, let alone tied up, but enjoyed extraordinary "courtesy". When Lu Xiaofeng saw Chu Liuxiang, Chu Liuxiang was eating, no, he was eating vegetables and drinking, eating wild fowl Bazhen Banquet, drinking Fenjiu from Xinghua Village, through the window, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Chu Liuxiang who was comfortable, and hesitated a little, should he see it, what if there is anything else involved in this case in the future, and now he has seen the suspect before he has passed the court, and has become someone else's handle? A murderer with conclusive evidence will be labeled as an adulterous King of Qin if he receives such special care in his own yamen?

Lu Xiaofeng flashed to the side and asked Ma Huateng in a low voice: "That's how you look at the prisoners?" ”

Fucheng Ma Huateng said with a bitter face: "You are not here, and your subordinates don't know what to do, so they simply detain him here and wait for you to come back and do it." ”

Is this a jail? Lu Xiaofeng secretly scolded in his heart, the evidence of murder is conclusive, and he still did this, isn't this obvious that he is slapping King Qin's ass? Lu Xiaofeng was really angry, and he couldn't care about the cultivation of scholars, so he scolded: "Is there such a detention of prisoners? I also eat eight treasures and Fenjiu. A bunch of waste, none of them can share Lao Tzu's worries. After scolding, he ordered: "Haven't you been tried?" Doesn't it mean that the evidence of this man's murder is conclusive? Since the evidence of the crime is conclusive, what do you hesitate about, immediately tie up the criminal, and send it to the criminal department together with the confession and incriminating evidence. After that, he turned around and left, muttering and scolding: "A bunch of waste, wine bags and rice bags." ”

Every morning, the officials said goodbye to their families before going out, as if they were saying goodbye, and they could return home safely and securely every night, thinking that they had finally survived another day, and the family had to celebrate together. More than a month has passed, the turmoil has not subsided, and the people's hearts have not yet settled, but two cases occurred in a row in just one day, King Yan was accused of colluding with the party and anti-thieves, King Qin was accused of having no way to discipline, the family members of King Qin's mansion beat civilians to death on the street, and the two popular vassal kings committed crimes at the same time.

Among the people who pay attention to the criminal department, in addition to the vassal kings in Beijing, there is another person, who is also one of the key figures in this matter, that is, the crown prince.

After the crown prince Zhu Biao learned that the Criminal Department had set up a total of three cases of Qin Yan and the second king, he immediately ordered someone to find his number one staff member Wang Ben, and asked straight to the point as soon as they met: "Didn't you say that you should deal with the second child first, why did you involve the fourth child at the same time?" Are you sure that you are an enemy on both sides? Also, what's going on with the second child's butler who killed people? ”

Wang Ben frowned and replied: "Only the matter of King Qin's fornication against thieves is my own handiwork. As for the letter from King Yan and the bandits, as well as the matter of the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion, it was not arranged by his subordinates, and the person who set up the bureau must have someone else. ”

"Is there anyone secretly helping me?" Zhu Biao was a little puzzled.

Wang Ben said secretly, Prince, you are a little too simple and kind: "My Highness, that's not helping you, that's hurting you." ”

Zhu Biao frowned: "How do you say this?" Hurt me? ”

Wang Benchang sighed: "You said it yourself, there is no need to make enemies on both sides." At present, the most powerful person is the two kings of Qin Yan, and His Majesty has shown his dissatisfaction with you, and now the government and the opposition have spread that the kings have entered Beijing, and the emperor intends to establish another sage among the kings as the prince. At this critical moment, the two kings of Qin Yan were rectified at the same time, and everyone would think that you were secretly attacking, including the emperor. ”

"You're saying someone is secretly blaming me?" Zhu Biao understood: "Let Your Majesty be suspicious of me? ”

Wang Ben squinted his eyes: "Now it seems that the most suspicious ones are the kings of Jin and Zhou, of course, it is not excluded that one of the two kings of Qin Yan used a bitter trick to win the emperor's sympathy, and then get more holy favor." ”

Zhu Biao panicked, he felt that his status as the crown prince was becoming more and more unstable: "Then, what should I do?" ”

Compared with Zhu Biao's panic, Wang Ben seemed much calmer: "The kings are in Beijing, the focus of all parties is on Your Highness, the situation will become more and more complicated, and the minister has not thought about how to deal with it for a while, but before coming up with a good way to deal with it, the prince please be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't let people grab the handle." For the kings, how they should grasp the balance and the heat, is not at all easier than your situation, they must behave well in front of the emperor and try to compete for favor, but not too ostentatious, so as not to become the target of the public, presumably they are also walking on thin ice. So the current situation, although not in your favor, is still manageable for the time being, and it can be balanced. What's more, the reason why the kings have not made any big moves is because they are all self-aware, and they all understand that the situation they are facing is not easy at all, they do stare at you at the same time, but they are also calculating each other, they are now thinking about not only to appear stronger than you, but also to prevent someone behind the calculation, it can be said that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and they are also afraid of squeezing you out, but they will be profited by other people. Therefore, now the kings are very cautious, and they will not make any big moves for the time being, let alone dare to make any big moves. Now it's a stalemate, and as for who can break the deadlock, it's up to who is better. ”

Zhu Biao listened to Wang Ben's analysis, and his heart settled down a little, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because he found that this Wang Ben was far more scheming than he had observed before.

The great turmoil caused by the empty seal case made the DPRK and China appear in many focuses for a while. And the focal point in the focus of the DPRK and China is none other than Shangshu Kaiji of the Criminal Department, who has just taken office. At the cusp of public opinion, anyone will feel a lot of pressure, and this Kaiji is no exception.

In the past few days, in addition to the previous dynasty, Kaiji has been hiding in the yamen of the criminal department for the rest of the time, and Kaiji has no intention of working in the yamen, and he is in a daze with two letters and a confession in front of him all day long, two letters, one is to expose the king of Yan colluding with the thief, one is to expose the king of Qin colluding with the anti-party, and one confession is the evidence of the murder of Chu Liuxiang, the housekeeper of the Qin mansion, on the street, the reason why he is just in a daze, is that Kaiji really doesn't want to handle these three cases, so he simply presses these three cases on his desk. But the three cases pressed on him, like three mountains pressing on his heart, the pressure was out of breath, and he had no intention of official business.

Three days have passed, and just when Kaiji was worried about the two cases all day, the following report was made that someone from King Yan's Mansion had come, and King Yan sent someone to send something to the adult.

The person sent by King Yan was Yao Guangqi, how could it be Yao Guangqi? Why is Yao Guangqi here at this moment, don't worry, let's start from the beginning.

A month ago, Fang Keqin was arrested, which completely disrupted Yao Guangqi's plan to track down Li Rou's whereabouts. If he couldn't enter the prison and see Fang Keqin, the only clue would be broken. Therefore, Yao Guangqi tried every possible way to get close to Fang Keqin, but Fang Keqin was already a key criminal who had passed the imperial trial, and the criminal department was extremely strict in guarding, Murong Qing and Chen Ping'an used all the connections of Tianchengzong in the capital, and they did not find any way.

The capital is not like Beiping, and he can't use King Yan's connections and influence, Yao Guangqi began to miss his senior brother Yuan Hui, if Yuan Hui is here, he may be able to do something.
