PS: Thank you netizens for the support of the monthly pass with the autumn leaves falling and scattering, thank you to the netizen Maxima 0208, undefeated の Oriental, I really want to use the monthly pass to smash your reward encouragement
The first person is Gao Gong, at this time he is wearing a purple court dress, wearing a black veil inlaid with eight jades, he has been silent on the side, after hearing Yang Jian's words, he seems to have come back to his senses all of a sudden: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that this matter needs to be interrogated in detail by Na Xu Ani, and it is urgent to track down the main envoy behind the scenes." ”
Standing in second place was an old man with a white beard, who was none other than Nayan Suwei. He is of medium height, about seventy years old, he looks a little old, but there is a shrewdness and strength in his slightly squinted eyes, and he is also dressed in a purple robe, but the jade embedded in the black gauze on his head is less than that of Gao Gong.
Su Wei had been carefully observing Yang Jian's face just now, and when Yang Jian's gaze turned to him, he also thought of a countermeasure in his heart.
Su Wei said: "Your Majesty, Xu Ani is a fire girl, even if she can drive the art of cats and ghosts, she must be instructed by someone, and the minister thinks that this matter has nothing to do with Dugutuo and his wife."
Judging from the reactions of his wife during the search, the Yang family should have known, but Dugutuo may not have known, this person is the queen's younger brother, and the minister thinks that if the queen wakes up, he does not want to hear the news that his younger brother has committed a crime. ”
Yang Jian let out an "oh" and nodded, as if he was satisfied with this answer.
Yang Jian then asked, "Then what should I do according to Aiqing's words?" ”
A smile appeared on Su Wei's face, and he bowed his head and said, "In the humble opinion of the minister, the emperor can summon that Dugutuo to see him first." Let him say for himself whether he knows or not. If he takes the initiative to confess. can be lightly dropped; If he insists on denying it. At that time, it was not too late to look at Xu Ani's confession. Even if the case is really related to him in the end, the emperor gave Dugu Tuo a chance to confess, if he gave up himself, Queen Dugu must have nothing to say. ”
Yang Jian's brows, which had been tightly locked, stretched a little, and nodded: "It's still Aiqing thoughtful." ”
Su Wei was secretly happy in his heart, and continued: "The emperor can also first summon Dugutuo's elder brother, Dugu Mu, the prince of Jinquan County, into the palace and take advantage of him. Let him first rely on brotherly love to ask this Dugutuo, if he still doesn't admit it, it won't be too late for the emperor to come out again. In this way, the emperor is really benevolent and righteous, and even the queen will be grateful to the emperor for taking care of her family. ”
Yang Jian smiled: "I am very relieved, or Aiqing can solve problems for me." Gao Gong's face changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't speak.
Standing at the end was a tall, bearded, black-faced and high-nosed official. It was Yang Yuan, the executive vice president of the Supreme Court. When he saw that Yang Jian's gaze finally turned to him, he saluted and said, "The minister must do his duty." Let that Xu Ani open his mouth to confess, please rest assured that there is no prisoner who can't open his mouth here. ”
Yang Jian shook his head: "What I want is an actual confession, you can't bend into a trick, you have to pay attention to the means, this time I asked Lord Gao and Master Su to try the case with you, you have to take their opinions as the mainstay, understand?" ”
Yang Yuan's face was ashamed, and he said yes.
Yang Jian stretched his waist and yawned: "The following things are Lao San's Aiqing, what I want is that there are human and material evidence, and people have nothing to say when they are punished, understand?" ”
The three of them saluted in unison: "Obey the holy commandment." ”
In the distance, a palace person's shrill voice came from far and near: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is awake." ”
Yang Jian jumped up from the chair with a "soar", and didn't care about greeting the three people, and ran out directly.
At the same time, on the Xiaoyao Tower, Wang Shichong was standing against the railing, the cool breeze of the autumn night did not make his brain quiet much, Gao Xi had been gone for more than two hours, and now his heart was still a mess.
Dugu Tuo is the queen's half-brother, and his wife is Yang Su's half-sister, and now Dugu Tuo is an official in the court and has the title of general, what motive does he have to use the cat ghost to deal with Queen Dugu and Yang Su?
Could it be for money? In the legend, the cat ghost is a thing that kills people for money, according to Wang Shichong's understanding of Dugutuo, their family is not very rich. But if Dugutuo is short of money, he will directly ask Yang Su, Yang Su has always been very generous to his relatives, and he has not given it before.
Besides, if Dugutuo suddenly has a lot of money, wouldn't he not admit himself? Moreover, Yang Jian knew before that Dugutuo's wife-in-law and uncle were careless in raising cats and ghosts, but he was killed by him, and if something happened to the queen, he would soon be suspicious.
Listening to what Gao Xi meant just now, now Yang Jian wants Yang Su to avoid this matter, and Gao Gong, Nayan Su Wei and Yang Yuan of Dali Temple will jointly handle this matter. In the end, Dugutuo's head will definitely be found, and the spearhead will be directly pointed at Yang Su and the queen.
As soon as Wang Shichong heard this trial lineup, he understood what Yang Jian meant, needless to say, Gao Gong said that the relationship between Su Wei and Yang Su has always been bad, and even Yang Su's official position as a right servant was obtained by squeezing Su Wei down.
As for Yang Yuan, the president of the Supreme Court in later generations, he is a well-known cool official, and he is very good at meeting his wishes, with those two who set the tone, as long as the suspect is caught, he can make any confession he wants in his hands. It seems that now Yang Jian has aimed the first target at Yang Su, if Yang Su falls, it will undoubtedly be a huge victory for Gao Xi and the crown prince Yang Yong, with Wang Shichong's sensitive sense of smell, he has vaguely felt that this matter is by no means simple, and there seems to be a huge conspiracy behind it.
Wang Shichong suddenly thought that since he went home, An Suiyu, who had been taking the initiative to meet him from afar, had not appeared, and at this time, she would definitely accompany her with the birds, serve herself a cup of hand-made ginger tea, and by the way, put on an autumn dress for herself, and gently let herself not catch a cold.
Wang Shichong's heart moved, and he shouted loudly: "Come on, please ask Mrs. Yu to come over!"
There was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and Zhang Jincheng ran up and saluted: "Master, Mrs. Yu is not in the mansion now." I heard from the servants that after you left, she also went out on business, and she has not yet returned. ”
Wang Shichong was disappointed in his heart, and waved his hand: "Go down, I'll stay by myself for a while." ”
Over the years, Wang Shichong has traveled south and north, except for the two years of staying in Daxing as an official, the time at home is no more than two months a year, whether it is the intelligence in Daxing City, or the business all over the country, it is supported by An Suiyu, so she also often goes out, but in the past, she will definitely calculate the time when she goes out, and often she stays in the villa when she goes out, this time is the only exception.
A trace of uneasiness flashed in Wang Shichong's heart, Zhang Jincheng was about to turn around to leave, and he suddenly shouted: "Wait, Jincheng, do you know where Mrs. Yu went to do business this time?" How long have you been gone? ”
Zhang Jincheng shook his head: "Madame's whereabouts, the servants have always been unknown, every time they report directly to the master, the villain also went to Daizhou with the master this time, and just heard the steward on duty talk about it." ”
Wang Shichong nodded: "Accompany me to Madame's room." ”
The two walked to the back of the second floor of the Xiaoyao Building, An Suiyu's boudoir is here, Wang Shichong usually likes to sit alone in the study on the fourth floor, deal with daily affairs, and stay at night with An Suiyu, and he and An Suiyu's two sons Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanshu are now only two or three years old, because Wang Shichong does not want his son to grow up in the Fengyue place of Bliss Villa, so a while ago he was fostered in Xinfeng's hometown, and was raised by his sister-in-law and third brother-in-law and several nephews.
It wasn't until Wang Shichong made up his mind to keep his distance from Gao Xi that the Bliss Villa was no longer open to the public, but as the residence of his whole family, and the relatives of Xinfeng's hometown also took it over to live together, but it was not in this Xiaoyao Building.
Wang Shichong walked into An Suiyu's boudoir, at this time, he suddenly missed this Turkic girl very much, these years, when she was by his side, he was always extra at ease, and he slept soundly at night, home is his warmest haven, and An Suiyu gave himself the feeling of this home, and he has been fighting so hard in the mountains and fires of Haiti all these years, isn't it just to protect this home?
Wang Shichong glanced around at the boudoir, turned back to Zhang Jincheng and said, "It's not early, you can rest first, just be on duty normally downstairs, I will spend the night here today." (To be continued......)
