Zhu Changjun, the king of Jing, ordered to review the case of the maid Meimei who became pregnant and committed suicide by throwing herself into the water.

"It is said that this is a family affair of the Chitose Lord, and the official should not be too talkative, but the master said that 'the punishment is not inferior to the doctor, and the courtesy is not inferior to the concubine,' the eldest prince is degraded to a concubine is enough for the younger generations, and it seems that there is no need to chase after it, after all, this matter spreads, and it hinders the face of the heavenly family......"

During the Hongwu period, the prince had to "bow down and bow down, and dare not bow down", and the waist of the civil officials in the Wanli year was stiff, and the emperor still had to show his style in front of him, and he didn't have to be too formalistic when he saw the prince, but King Jing hung the title of the right sect of the Zongren Mansion as the prince of Jinzhi, and Mao Duo kept calling himself a priest and living in the etiquette of his subordinates.

In the mind of Lord Mao, a civil official from the Confucian family, compared with the mean and unkind Huang Concubine family, he is more inclined to conform to the patriarchal Zhu Youfan, and the eldest prince is also literary and erudite, and often sings and harmonizes with people in the Shilin.

It's a pity that King Jing is bent on abolishing the elder and young, and wants to plant the crime on Zhu Youfan, Mao Duo has nothing to do, so he can only let it go.

But he was already ready to abolish Zhu Youfan as a concubine, and King Jing continued to study deeply, so Mao Duo was a little unhappy, and repeatedly persuaded him.

Knowing probably, Mao Duo looked at the clematis with disdain, and said: "Chitose Lord, the left way magic is unbelievable, and the power is ...... to be confused."

I want to ask who is the most trusted by King Jing Zhu Changtong? It's not Concubine Huang, it's not her own son Zhu Youfan, but Wei Lingxian and Qin Lin, two "masters of the Dao", who had previously concluded that there was a fierce aura in the northeast, and it was absolutely impossible for him not to find out, and Mao Duo offended the two masters, which made him even more unhappy.

King Jing slammed the table, and told Mao Duo not to come down from the stage on the spot, and then it was completely different for Qin Lin, the old prince was full of joy, and said respectfully: "Master Qin, please tell Master Mao, such a mortal person as him is really stupid, please ask the master to take action in person, so that he can be transformed into him." ”

Qin Lin observed his words and looks, and already knew that Mao Duo would most likely be wrong, thinking that they were going to further persecute Zhu Youfan, so he explained: "Lord Mao has misunderstood, and he and the eldest prince are close friends......

As everyone knows, 20 years ago, Emperor Jiajing added Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen to the title of the two Taoist priests of the Ministry of Rites, and the successive civil officials of the Ministry of Rites were ashamed.

He regarded Qin Lin as a member of the Martial Immortals, of course, he didn't have a good face: "Since you are friends with the eldest prince, isn't this a traitor to seek glory?" As an official of the imperial court, he actually used the left way to bewitch the vassal king, and this official is a Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and after returning to Beijing, he will go to the court to impeach you for the crime of bewitchment! ”

Qin Lin smiled bitterly and scratched his head, this Mao Duo is really a bull temper.

However, before he could say anything to refute, King Jing had already lashed out angrily, glared at Mao Duo and said, "I don't know what to do, you dare to impeach Master Qin, this king will impeach you first!" ”

Civil officials want to be upright, but they also have to abide by the etiquette of the upper and lower, Mao Duo is inconvenient to argue with the boss in charge as a member of the right sect, so he turned his head and asked Huo Chonglou: "Huo stall, you have rich experience in investigating cases in Dongchang, do you say that it is necessary to investigate cases like this?" Now that the body has been buried for many years, I am afraid that it has already decomposed, so what is the use of digging it up? ”

Mao Duo is a Qingliu civil official, and he has no ability to handle cases, so the celebrant sent the head of the Dongchang stall to follow him out and be an assistant to him in investigating the case.

In many things, Mao Duo still has to rely on Huo Chonglou, and he thought that the East Factory has the authority to supervise Jinyiwei, the factory guard, and the East Factory is still above Jinyiwei, so he wants to borrow Huo Chonglou's Huo stall head of the East Factory to press the Qin Lin Qin General Banner of Jinyiwei.

When Qin Lin heard this, he looked at Huo Chonglou, who had entered the Yin'an Hall and had met him, and shrank beside him, with a rather embarrassed expression.

Huo Stalltou wanted to turn around and flee immediately when he saw Qin Lin when he entered the Yin'an Palace, and he was forced to stay, and his heart was furious, for fear that Qin Lin would call him an apprentice or something in public, and that would really be a lifetime of fame.

At this time, he was pushed out by Mao Duo, he really wanted to embarrass Qin Lin, but seeing Qin Lin's lazy expression, he knew that that guy was extremely thick-skinned and could do anything, so he had to lower his head:

"Lord Mao, Mr. Qin is right, we didn't open the coffin for inspection, and this case has indeed been handled by Meng Lang, since the prince is respected by a thousand times and works tirelessly, I don't think it's okay to follow along. Right, Qin Zongqi? ”

Qin Lin knew what Huo Chonglou was worried about, so he nodded: "That's the reason, Huo Stalltou is really a veteran in handling cases." ”

Hearing Qin Lin call out the words "Huo Stallhead", Huo Chonglou's heart immediately widened, and he was secretly glad that this guy finally didn't tell me to make a fool of myself on the spot, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to meet people when I returned to Beijing.

Mao Duo looked at Huo Chonglou as if he didn't know him, this Dongchang stall was notoriously arrogant, but it seemed that he admired Qin Lin a lot, and even feared it, how could this be?

Dongchang characters, their eyes are on the top of their heads, when did they become so good at talking? Mao Duo looked at Huo Chonglou, looked at Qin Lin carefully, and shook his head helplessly, puzzled.

Even the assistants sent by Dongchang agreed, and Mao Duo naturally had nothing to say, so he had to agree to review the case.

King Jing immediately ordered to leave the palace and personally go to Hongjiazhuang to investigate.

Concubine Huang sneered again and again, after many days and the weather was hot, the corpse had already decayed, not to mention that there was no trace left in the first place? However, she was afraid that Qin Lin would have some demon moths in the middle of the way, and after King Jing gave the order, she specially reminded the Honor Guard Division to order Captain Qi to escort - Huang Lianzu, who had been appointed as the deputy of the honor guard, could follow the car and adapt to the situation along the way.

Qin Lin's smile became brighter when he heard this: Just as he was about to be accompanied by the surname Huang, Lao Tzu could use his means to manipulate him! I didn't expect you to bring it up yourself, which saved me a lot of tongue!

Half an hour later, the Department of Honor and Guard, the Department of Honor, and the middle door of King Jing's Mansion were opened, and they left the palace with a mighty swing, and went straight to the dock where the official ship was parked.

At the same time, there was also a gray figure, walking quickly in the small alley outside King Jing's Mansion, running towards Xuanmiaoguan...... ~~~~ Xuanmiaoguan Taiyi Pavilion, several young Taoist priests with swords on their backs are guarding outside, if there are pilgrims walking here, they will be stopped, and the tone is euphemistic and cannot be refused: "This is the place where the Lord of the Temple is purifying, and it has never been open to the public, and the donor is asked to stop." The corridor on the left turns out of the Sanqing Palace, there is a huge golden statue of the grandfather of Sanqing, and the flowers in the back garden are in full bloom, please move the donor to that side. ”

In the Taiyi Pavilion, which was so heavily guarded, Daoist Xuanji did not cultivate as his disciple said, but accompanied a guest to drink tea.

The window is not big, and the sunlight shines in obliquely, but it seems that the rest of the space is getting darker and darker, and most of the bodies of the people sitting opposite Xuanji Dao Chang are hidden in the darkness, only the hand holding the teacup happens to be illuminated by the sun, the knuckles are bursting, the muscles and muscles are twisted terribly, and they are terrifying, like the claws of evil ghosts from hell.

Daoist Xuanji looked at the hands in awe, and quickly looked away, as if he was afraid of angering his master.

"Actually, we could have killed him quietly yesterday," Daoist Xuanji said unwillingly: "This Xuanmiao Temple has been in business for many years, and it is the foundation of the Holy Sect in Qizhou, so it will be ...... if it is gently cut off."

Yesterday the fighting method failed, according to the agreement, Daoist Xuanji wanted to give up the Xuanmiao Temple, he wanted to secretly kill Qin Lin but was stopped by Elder Wei, so he had to agree to clean up slowly, and after ten days, he would give up this Taoist temple.

Decades of foundation has been handed over, and Xuanji Daoist can't help but regret it.

"With the lifeless old mother above, for the sake of the great cause of the Holy Sect, what is a mere mystical temple? Even tens of thousands of heads are not spared! Qi Xuan, your pattern is a little too small......"

Elder Wei Wei Tianya's dry and ugly voice echoed in the pavilion, and Daoist Xuanji couldn't help but feel terrified, and secretly guarded against fear.

However, Wei Tianya quickly changed his words, and his voice became bone-chilling: "This kid dares to ruin the old man's affairs, and dares to prevent the old man from assassinating Deng Zilong, will you still live for ten days?" ”

Daoist Xuanji was overjoyed when he heard this, and then his expression became sullen again: "So, the situation of the Holy Sect in Xiangxi ......"

Wei Tianya nodded slowly.

Deng Zilong's army entered Dongting Lake from the Yangtze River waterway, and entered Chenzhou along the Yuanshui, Deng Zilong showed his might, led the army to double the road and marched into the way, Qi Jiguang trained the Zhejiang soldiers to be very powerful, spears and halberds, guns and cannons, and used the mandarin duck array passed down by Qi Shaobao, the battle must be won, and the attack must be overcome.

The 36 cave masters of Jin Daolu and Miao Yao were difficult to resist, the siege of Chenzhou was resolved, the Ming army in Xiangxi was revived, and the originally wavering Yongshun Xuanfu Si Tusi and Jiuximan hurriedly swore allegiance to the imperial court, Jin Daolu retreated to Mayang, Deng Zilong took advantage of the situation to cover up, and the fall of the White Lotus Sect in Xiangxi was only a matter of time.

Daoist Xuanji and Wei Tianya sat speechless, they had hated Qin Lin to the bone marrow, thinking about how to catch him, cramping and peeling his skin, crushing his bones and scattering ashes, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart a little.

At this time, there were three knocks on the door, and Daoist Xuanji stood at the window and looked down, and saw a gray figure.

He walked down the pavilion and came back a moment later, looking a little anxious: "Elder Wei, King Jing is driving to Hongjiazhuang!" Concubine Huang's sister and brother and the one surnamed Qin followed, and the eagle claw grandson surnamed Huo in Dongchang was also together, and it seemed that they were going to review Guo Meimei's case. ”

Wei Tianya was stunned for a moment, and then laughed strangely: "What great ability does the old man have when the surname Qin is, it turns out that this is just the case!" Hahaha, the old man pushed the little girl into the water and drowned, it took a long time, the body has long been decomposed, even if the coffin is opened, what can be found? ”

Daoist Xuanji also laughed when he heard this, the little maid was indeed drowned, but it was the hand of Elder Wei himself, and there were no other injuries on the body, and he couldn't find the slightest problem when he opened the coffin!

Elder Wei laughed again, and his grim voice seemed to come from hell: "This person is willing to be an eagle dog of the imperial court, and has repeatedly been an enemy of my Holy Sect, and when the matter of the Jing Wangfu is over, the old man will find an opportunity to take action in person, so as to take his dog's life!" ”
