When they returned to the imperial study, Huizong was not in the imperial study, but Xiao Guizi was.

And Xiao Guizi also conveyed Huizong's will and asked them to wait here first.

This kind of thing is originally a kind of torment for them, and they should be allowed to wait, this Huizong is really torturous.

Of course, you can't wait, it's better for the three of them to probe their mouths first, so as not to say different things in front of Huizong and make Huizong angry, which is simply death.

So, Han Zhongyan asked, "I don't know how the two ministers investigated?" ”

Lin Yu knew that everyone's investigation should be about the same, so he didn't hide it, and directly said what he had investigated.

"According to my investigation, it was because someone in Kyoto smeared Wu Dalang, and then this matter became more and more troublesome, and finally Wu Dalang posted a notice, which was indeed a little touching. The people were very moved, and then some people were upset with Wu Dalang, and finally it evolved like this. ”

Han Zhongyan nodded: "Well, that's the same as me." That's all we can investigate. I wonder if Deng Shangshu has investigated something more in-depth? ”

Deng Xunwu shook his head absentmindedly: "It's all about the same..."

Lin Yi said to himself like a casual chatter: "I have tried many cases before, and many times, some people are willing to hide for another person, of course, their relationship is often very good. Some people who have an average relationship are willing to tell the truth directly, so as to protect themselves. Anyway, paper can't contain fire, and many things will eventually be revealed. ”

Han Zhongyan was not stupid, and he could also see that Lin Yu was a little suspicious of Deng Xunwu.

Of course, it is not that Deng Xunwu did it, but that Deng Xunwu knows about it.

Han Zhongyan also immediately figured out the key, Wu Dalang is the leader of the loyal camp, so only Cai Jing and them want to discredit Wu Dalang, and Deng Xunwu, as the main figure in the traitor camp, must know something.

Han Zhongyan didn't press Deng Xunwu step by step like Lin Yu, what he had to do now was how to show himself in front of Huizong later, and then retreat.

This matter can be big or small, and if he doesn't do it, he will be in danger of being demoted.

The three of them each have their own ghosts, and they are all thinking of a way out for themselves, and if they can, they will also put this responsibility on others.

After a while, Huizong finally walked into the imperial study.

The three of them also hurriedly shouted.

"The secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Deng Xunwu, see Your Majesty."

"Han Zhongyan, the minister of Dali Temple, see Your Majesty."

"Minister Kaifeng Mansion Yin Linyu participates in Your Majesty."

Huizong sat down, looked at the three people with a blank face, and then asked in a deep voice, "I think you have all passed each other's bottom line, just come out and tell me the truth about this matter, right?" ”

Lin Yu took a step forward without hesitation, and then began to speak, no different from what he had just said.

After Huizong and Xiao Guizi listened, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and sure enough, everything was inseparable from Wu Dalang.

Although Wu Dalang is also a victim, this matter is based on Wu Dalang as the fuse after all.

Huizong snorted coldly: "Is this the result of your investigation?" Anyone else to add? ”

Han Zhongyan glanced at Deng Xunwu from the corner of his eye, and saw that there seemed to be some struggle in his eyes, but he still didn't stand up.

Huizong looked at the three ministers standing there silently, and immediately became angry.

"Are you all fools? Can't you see that someone is behind it? Did you not find this person, or did you try to shield this person? ”

Lin Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of covering up, please give the minister three days, and the minister will definitely find out this person." ”

Huizong gasped: "Three days? I really doubt your ability to do things, and it will take three days for such a thing? If it was Wu Dalang, the time of the three incense sticks just now had already done this matter properly, you are too much worse than Wu Dalang, what use do I want you ministers to do? ”

The three ministers didn't dare to refute, they weren't stupid people, of course they knew Wu Dalang's abilities.

If they refute it, Huizong below may directly call Wu Dalang here, and when Wu Dalang really investigates, they will really live in the shadow of Wu Dalang for the rest of their lives.

Huizong looked at the three of them with their heads lowered again, looking submissive, and became even more angry.

"You can't do a small thing, do you want to be an official? If you don't want to, just tell me, I won't force you. ”

The three ministers were all frightened at once, is it easy for them to climb to the current position, if they are implicated because of this matter that should not belong to them, then they are really unwilling.

Lin Yu immediately stood up: "Your Majesty is angry, the minister has indeed not investigated yet, but the minister knows that Deng Shangshu knows about it." ”

Lin Yu didn't want to take the blame for someone in the traitorous camp, it would be over if he was really removed, and now he was not afraid of offending anyone.

Deng Xunwu's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Lin Yu with an incredulous expression, he didn't expect Lin Yu to pull him out directly as a backpad.

Since Deng Xunwu was behind him, Han Zhongyan naturally would not let go of this opportunity, so he directly came to push the boat.

"Your Majesty, Deng Shangshu does know. But he wouldn't say it, as if he wanted to shield the man. I can't help it with Lord Lin. ”

Both of them directly pointed the finger at Deng Xunwu, if they really want to be removed, then only Deng Xunwu is here, and they can still protect themselves.

Huizong looked at Deng Xunwu and sneered: "Deng Shangshu, are you hiding it?" ”

At this time, where did Deng Xunwu dare to hide it for Gao Yu, he himself was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself.

So Deng Xunwu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister was wronged, the minister just heard that Gao Yu wanted to discredit Wu Dalang, but the minister has not seriously investigated, and he doesn't know if Gao Yu did it, so he doesn't dare to say it nonsense." Your Majesty, please be clear. ”

Even if Deng Xunwu was carried out to take the blame, his speech was still leaky, and in this way, he not only got rid of the suspicion of harboring Gao Yu, but also successfully saved himself from the danger of being dismissed, and also withdrew with his whole body.

Huizong's eyes became fierce.

"Little nobleman, call Gao Yu over."

"Yes."

Just as the little noble son was about to go out, Huizong shouted again: "Call Wu Dalang over too." ”

"Yes." Xiao Guizi answered again, and then hurriedly walked out of the imperial study.

After Huizong finished speaking, he leaned back on the dragon chair and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

The three ministers glanced at Huizong, and they were also temporarily relieved, at least for now, their official positions can be retained, as for what happens to Gao Yu later, then who cares about him.
