Silence had already made up his mind. Even if you use all the torture of Jinyiwei, you have to let Lu Xiu tell the real murderer behind the scenes...... Even if it's not public, as long as Jiajing knows, it's a goal.

But only one day later, he received an order from his superiors to let him enter the palace to face the saint.

"I haven't asked anything yet," Zhu Jiu scratched his brain and said, "How do you explain to the emperor?" ”

"No need to ask......" Shen Mo said with a calm face while letting Sanchi change his clothes: "Later, you go to the edict and say it, if you haven't confessed, don't torture again." ”

"Why?" Regarding the change in the attitude of adults, Zhu Jiu was a little caught off guard, and said in his heart that he was so resolute yesterday, why did he pity the fragrance and pity the jade today?

As soon as he saw Zhu Jiu's expression, he knew what he was thinking in silence, and sighed lightly: "The emperor is no longer interested in investigating further, let's draw snakes to add more, wouldn't we be asking for trouble?" ”

"The emperor doesn't want to check?" Zhu Jiu said in disbelief.

"If you don't believe it, we'll see." Silently sighed heavily, took the big sedan chair, stepped out of the house and got on the sedan chair, and went to the direction of Xiyuan.

When I arrived at Yuxi Palace in Dexiyuan, I saw a person unexpectedly - Huang Jin, the head of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, this guy was in such a short time. I returned to Beijing from Suzhou. Huang Jin's face was still deeply tired, but he was overjoyed when he saw Shen Mo, and he grinned and greeted him.

Shen Mo took the first step, and said flatly: "Huang Gonggong, don't come to harm?" "Give him a 'careful' look.

"Uh......" Huang Jin was not stupid, he quickly smiled, and also bowed his hand and said, "Lord Shen, don't come unharmed." ”

Shen Mo asked: "The emperor has a summons, I don't know if my father-in-law can pass it?" ”

Huang Jin shook his head lightly and said, "The emperor has taken the Dan and is practicing." ”

Shen Mo sighed in his heart, he remembered that Li Shizhen said to himself: "The emperor has gone mad, and the advice is useless, you better plan early...... Now it seems that what Mr. Li said is true, and Emperor Jiajing has to go this dead end to the end.

Seeing his expression wandering, Huang Jin asked softly, "Are you uncomfortable, Lord Shen?" ”

Shen Mo shook his head and forced a smile: "Maybe I'm a little tired." ”

"Then please wait in the side hall, drink some tea and sit and wait." Huang Jin said with a smile.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Shen Mo thanked him softly, and then went to the side hall to wait, and Huang Jin accompanied him to eat tea and talk...... He received an urgent order from his ancestors, and as soon as the holy decree arrived, he traveled under the stars and nights, changing horses without changing people, and spent eight days and nights galloping from Suzhou to Beijing. Look for an opportunity to bring back the ancestors.

But now that he was silent, it made Huang Jin's heart beat a drum, and he didn't know what to do, so he kept squeezing his eyebrows and winking at him, hoping to get some hints.

Shen Mo sighed lightly, knowing that this guy said that it was 'a tendon', and he wouldn't stop if he didn't achieve his goal, so he smiled as if he remembered something: "Time flies so fast, I remember that back then, my father-in-law took the name of the official and joked, it seems to be right in front of me." ”

"What joke?" Huang Jin scratched his head and said, "Our family has a bad memory, so we have to be reminded by adults." ”

"You say, 'It's better to be silent than a hundred words.'" Shen Mo looked at him deeply and said, "Have you forgotten?" ”。

"A hundred words are better than a silence. Oh......" Huang Jin repeated the silent recitation several times, nodded and said, "I remember." Huang Jin immediately understood that Shen Mo was using practical actions to show himself how grim the situation was at this time...... The two only talked about some Jiangnan customs, and refused to get involved in the capital for half a minute.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After half an hour, he glanced at the Western clock on the table and said, "The master is about to finish his work, our family has to wait, and I lost my company Lord Shen." ”

"My father-in-law is polite." Shen Mo smiled and got up to send Huang Jin out. Another quarter of an hour passed. Huang Jin came back and said, "My lord, the emperor has summoned you." ”

Shen Mo followed him into the house, and after paying respects, the emperor ordered him to get up. Standing up silently, he unexpectedly found that between himself and the emperor, there was still a layer of gauze curtains, and he could only vaguely see Jiajing's outline, but he could never see the emperor's expression.

How can you look rude? He only glanced at it quickly, and then lowered his head to look at his nose and his nose. After a while, I heard Jiajing say slowly: "You handled this matter very well, and I am very relieved." ”

Shen Mo hurriedly said humbly: "Weichen is young and reckless, but he does things with a sincere heart for his father, and he doesn't dare to take credit or blame. ”

These words made Emperor Jiajing smile behind the veil, and he knew that this silence could best understand what he meant - this investigation of the case was not so much to avenge Lu Bing, but to say that Jiajing himself wanted to get rid of his notoriety. Originally, it was rumored that it was the poison given by Jiajing that killed Lu Taibao, whether it was intentional or wrong, it made the face of the dignified Emperor Ming nowhere to rest.

Especially those malicious rumors, what emperor thinks Lu Bing knows too much, so he wants to kill him; If it weren't for Lu Taibao to test the medicine for the emperor first, it would have been Jiajing who died this time...... Gossip like this hurt the emperor's sensitive self-esteem like a poisonous snake; And no matter which one it is, it is destroying the image of the emperor.

So Jiajing must find out this case and find out that he is ugly. And the result must be as he intended. If it is handed over to the Three Law Divisions, everything will be revealed to the world, and the result will not be easy to control, and if it is handed over to the East Factory, it will inevitably become a tool for the factory and the guards, so he handed over the case to Shen Mo for independent investigation, and hinted several times, hoping that he would live up to his holy hopes.

The result made Emperor Jiajing very pleased, and Shen Mo first washed away the charges of the Taoist priests, and did not care about personal grievances, and ruled out the suspicion of Chen Hong and others, which cleared up the emperor's relationship in this case. At the much-anticipated funeral of Lu Bing, this conclusion was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and extended, and Jiajing's innocence was completely restored.

Moreover, this case has evolved into a grievance within the family, which will not affect the court, let alone cause an uproar. At this point, all the emperor's goals have been achieved, how can he not be satisfied? Wen Yan said to Shen Mo: "This case has dragged on long enough, when are you going to close the case?" ”

"This ......" said silently and softly: "There are still many doubts in this case, and Weichen feels that he should be more patient." Although he said that to Zhu Jiu in private, he still had to fight for it...... Regarding Lu Xiu's various performances, the more he pondered, the more he felt that something was wrong. Although Lu Xiu hated himself to the bone, he would never be afraid to use any means. But it's not like killing her uncle first in order to deal with herself, right? Fewer words just because Lu Bing protects himself? That's too perverted.

Although it can be explained by paranoia, she kept silent and didn't say a word, who is she covering for? Especially the key facts of the case, she didn't reveal it at all, even where the pill box was at the time, there were several guards in the study, and she didn't answer this kind of question that didn't have to be hidden, how could she make Shen Mo feel at ease? The more I thought about it, the more I felt. There must be a secret in this, and perhaps the later story will overturn its own conclusions...... Even if you can't make a noise for the sake of the overall situation, the truth must be revealed, and the culprit should be punished, otherwise how to explain to the spirit of the senior brother in the sky?

But Jiajing obviously didn't see it that way, and said impatiently: "Since it has been determined that it is their family's internal grievances, there is no need for you to get involved." Give the Lu family an explanation, what Lu embroidery is, and hand it over to Jinyiwei for disposal. As for you, you've been tired enough lately, take a few days off to rest, and talk about it after the New Year. ”

"The emperor is groomed, for that Lu Xiu, he neither obtained physical evidence, nor did he ask for a confession." Shen Mo stubbornly said: "Wei Chen feels that it is not too late to wait for her to confess before dealing with it." ”

"You don't listen to me?" Jiajing raised his voice and said, "I can't help but praise something!" ”

Shen Mo hurriedly knelt down and said: "I don't dare to be a minister, Weichen is just afraid that there is something hidden, and he will commit the crime of bullying the king when the time comes." ”

Hearing him say this, Jiajing's face softened slightly, and said, "Don't worry about it, if there is, I will also forgive you without sin." ”

The words are all here, and Shen Mo has no choice but to accept the order.

Jiajing seemed to be tired, and without saying anything more, he asked him to retreat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking back at the gray sky above Yuxi Palace, he sat silently in the sedan chair and fell into deep contemplation. Although the case was closed by the Holy Decree this time, it made him even more suspicious...... He felt that the emperor's performance could not be explained by fear of trouble at all, but he couldn't wait to stop, for fear that he would investigate it again.

What are you afraid of? Shen Mo couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Why don't you want me to check it again...... Suddenly his back was cold, his face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't dare to think about it further. He suddenly realized that if he checked further, he would probably be the one who died......

Sweating cold along the way. When he stopped the sedan chair, the curtain was lifted, and the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly felt weak, so he quickly tightened his suffocation.

Seeing that he seemed to be sick, Sanchi asked with concern, "Are you okay, my lord?" Fewer words"

Shen Mo shook his head and forced a smile: "Maybe let the wind blow a little, cook me some ginger soup later." Sanchi hurriedly ordered to go down.

Shen Mo took heavy steps and walked into the Fusi of Beizhen, Zhu Jiu greeted him and said eagerly: "How is it, what does the emperor say?" ”

Shen Mo sighed and said, "Let's go see Lu Xiu again, and then close the case." ”

"Case closed?" Zhu Jiu was surprised: "Did you really let the adults say it?" ”

"I'd rather not say it right," Shen Mo rubbed his swollen temples and said, "Well, it's better to be confused......"

Zhu Jiu didn't know what he meant, so he said, "I'll accompany the adults to the edict." ”

"No need" Shen Mo shook his head and said: "You personally send all the files to my house, and after I approve them, I will hand them all over to the emperor." ”

This kind of case has never been left behind, Zhu Jiu happily agreed, and took someone to handle it.

Shen Mo, accompanied by three feet, went down to the key prisoner's cell in the depths of the Imperial Prison, and saw Lu Xiu who was tied to the cross, covered in scars, and his face had no good skin, only a pair of eyes, and the light of hatred was still radiating, staring at Shen Mo.

"Stand down." Silently and laboriously, he raised his hand, and drove the warden and the jailer away in three feet. "You step aside, too." Shen Mo ordered again. Sanchi hesitated and said, "My lord, you can't let yourself be here. ”

"She's tied up like this." Shen scolded silently: "What else is the danger? Sanchi had no choice but to walk away.

There were only two people left in the cell, Shen Mo and Lu Xiu, and the two looked at each other and never spoke, except for the crackling sound of burning torches, there was no other sound for a long time.

In the end, he opened his mouth silently, and he hissed: "That person said that he could make your long-cherished wish come true, so you made up your mind and took all these things with your own life." When he said this, he stared at Lu Xiu tightly, and sure enough, from her eyes, he saw a trace of surprise, although it was fleeting, but it still did not escape the silent eyes.

"You're so stupidly cute." Shen Mo sighed lightly and said: "People just want you to be a scapegoat, and when you die, who will remember what promises you made?" ”

"You think everyone is like you......" Lu Xiu couldn't help but say.

"Among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, I am considered to have a relatively high level of morality." Shen Mo said unashamedly: "If you really wait for me on Huangquan Road, you will definitely delay your reincarnation." ”

"Hmph, then let's ......see," Lu Xiu snorted coldly.

Looking at her stubborn face silently, she remembered that when she was in Suzhou, she saw her amazing disguise as a man, and a sentence popped up in her heart: 'A beautiful woman, why is she a thief?' I didn't blurt it out. Hurriedly coughed, and said in a low voice: "If you don't say anything again, you will be punished by Ling Chi according to 'the son kills the father, and the nephew kills the uncle'." Do you know Ling Chi? ”。

"Isn't it just three thousand six hundred knife ......" Lu Xiu's voice trembled a little, but he still said stubbornly: "I admit it." ”

"Alas, why bother......" Shen Mo shook his head and said: "If there is a spirit after death, you will know that you died in vain......"

"Don't lie to me, you can't get anything!" Lu Xiu said resolutely.

Shen Mo finally believed that the two lived in different worlds at all, and they couldn't communicate at all, not to mention that Jiajing had a purpose, and he couldn't put more effort into her, so he had to give up the last effort. He looked at Lu Xiu with a complicated expression and said, "If there is an afterlife, I hope you will be born in an ordinary family and never touch these dirty things......"

This ordinary sentence actually made Lu Xiu feel sad for a while, and burst into tears, but in this dark dungeon, the tears were crystal bright, so that Shen Mo could never forget.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But in the end, she still didn't say anything, and Shen Mo had no choice but to leave, and when she walked out of the prison, she said to the prison: "Don't torture her anymore, put her down, and treat her wounds." ”

The warden sneered: "My lord is really a bodhisattva. ”

Silently and coldly, he glanced at him and said, "If you dare to disobey the yang and the yin, this official will let you taste what is called a thunderbolt method." "The warden didn't dare to make a sound.

When he saw the light of day again, Shen Mo was a little dizzy, and stood on his three-foot shoulder for a while before he hissed, "Go back." ”

Before the words fell, they heard the sound of footsteps and the rubbing of armor everywhere, and the guards immediately became nervous, and they saw that from nowhere, countless brocade guards with bright armor poured out, lined up neatly in the courtyard, leaving only the road in the middle.

Then I saw Zhu Da and Zhu Er and a few other brocade-clothed guards, carrying a silent sedan chair, coming from the passage and walking in front of him.

Shen Mo smiled bitterly and said, "What is this for?" No such jokes. ”

Zhu Da smiled at him and said: "Uncle, everything you have done for us, Jinyi Wei is all impressed, and there is nothing to repay, so I can only carry you for a while and pay respect." ”

Shen Mo said with a ashamed face: "I didn't do anything, and I can't afford to be a great gift from you." ”

"No, you've done everything you can!" Zhu Dazheng said: "I didn't let Dongchang fall into the ground, and let us Jinyiwei prove ourselves again, at least for a while, we don't have to worry about being eaten." "As for the future, the ghost knows, but at least give them thirteen Taibao, leaving time to advance and retreat, so this gratitude is from the heart.

Shen Mo smiled and said: "Put down the sedan chair, if you really want to repay me......" Look at the edict and say: "Just be kind to that woman, let her go faster......" said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, she is a real poor person......"

Zhu Da and the others originally hated that Lu Xiu to death, and they were holding back their strength to concoct her, but now they spoke silently, although they were very reluctant, they had to agree.

Looking at them, he smiled silently: "Okay, let's all go back, it will be difficult for us to meet in the future, everyone should take care." "He is telling the truth, when he is ordered to handle the case, it doesn't hurt for him to live in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, but once he has no errands, and then contacts these spies, it is really impatient.

Zhu Da and the others heard the determination in their silent tone, and couldn't help but say a little gloomy: "Uncle......"

"Don't worry, Jinyiwei won't return to the East Factory again." Shen Mo seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts, smiled faintly, and said in a low voice: "You hold on for a few more years, and after Lu Gang is served, life will be better......

Zhu Da and the others were even more emotional, and the bosses, their eyes were red, and they insisted on saying: "Please get on the sedan chair!" ”

"Please get on the sedan chair!" The brocade guards in line knelt down and said in a deep voice.

was silent and helpless, so he had to sit in a sedan chair.

"Get up!" Zhu Da said loudly: "Send uncle!" ”

"Send uncle!" The brocade guards shouted in unison.

Shen Mo opened the sedan curtain, looked at the plaque of Beizhen Fusi, and secretly said in his heart: "I hope I will say goodbye forever......
