Bai Hong said: "You can't go back to your home now, so it's better to live with me for the time being." However, I have an important task that I must do in person, and I should have left yesterday, and I expected you to come to me, so I stayed. Now that you're here and that's all it takes, it's time for me to go, you live in the store, and they'll take care of you. The news from the Zheng family, I will arrange someone to investigate and tell you. You're prepared, too. ”

Leng Yi didn't ask her what task it was, just nodded: "Thank you!" ”

In the next few days, Leng Yi stayed at Xinghuangjiu's house and did not go out. From here, you can see the sky of his family's mansion in the distance by pushing the window, Leng Yi has been paying attention to that side, and he has not seen the agreed kite, which means that the official family did not call him into the palace.

The official family is being tickled by Mrs. Hua Rui, and if he is not asked to persuade Mrs. Hua Rui at this time, there is only one possibility, that is, he is overwhelmed by the Zheng family, and he really has no energy and leisure to pick up girls.

The investigation of the Zheng family arranged by Bai Hong when he left also proved this. The secret report sent by the man showed that the Zheng family was in the courtyard and refused to mourn. Every day, he knelt at the door and wept in mourning. More and more court officials participated in this matter, and there was an endless stream of officials who went to the Zheng family to mourn.

After a few more days, Leng Yi finally saw the direction of his house, and a kite floated in the air. He knew that this showed that the official family had recruited him into the palace.

Leng Yi immediately quietly left the Xinghuang Restaurant, and after making sure that no one was following him, he came to take a mask in a secluded alley and entered the house straight through the main entrance.

Feiyi Shitai and the other guards were relieved to see him come back safely.

Leng Yi came to the inner house, and Zhuo Qiaoniang and Xiao Zhou got the report and greeted them.

Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "Official, you're back!" You okay? He looked up and down as he spoke.

Leng Yi said: "I'm fine, is the official holy decree here?" ”

"Yes! Just came. Let you enter the palace immediately. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang helped Leng Yi change clothes. Xiao Zhou arranged to prepare a sedan chair and let Master Tu You and them escort them all the way, so as not to let the prime minister and others intercept them.

Pack up, pick up the sedan and head to the palace.

Leng Yi's mansion was not far from the palace, but his palanquin was stopped not far away.

Stopping his sedan chair was a group of children of the Zheng family who wore linen and filial piety, kneeling on the street, blocking the entire street. Behind these children was a group of civil and military ministers, all with cold eyes, staring at Leng Yi's sedan chair.

The accompanying escort Master Slaughter quickly ordered to turn around and bypass by another road.

However, the other party seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and many people came out of the alley, also wearing linen and filial piety, kneeling in the middle of the road, blocking their retreat.

One person came out first, with a full horse face, plus anger, stretched longer. Dressed in a military general's uniform, he strode forward and stepped on the snow on the ground. came to the sedan chair a few steps away, hugged his fists and arched his hands, and said in a deep voice: "This official Shi Shouxin, please get off the sedan chair Lord Leng, there are a few words that the official wants to ask for clarification, as long as you make it clear, the official will not be embarrassed by you!" ”

After waiting for a while, no one in the sedan chair answered.

Shi Shouxin's horse face stretched longer, and his voice was louder: "Lord Leng! Please get out of the car! ”

There is still no one to reply.

Shi Shouxin's son Shi Baoji stepped forward, his voice was like a bell, and said: "Father, this guy is unwilling to be obedient, take the child to find him out!" ”

His round eyes widened, he rolled up his sleeves, and was about to step forward. The guards on both sides of the sedan chair, the master of the oil slaughter, and the no-eyebrow Taoist stepped forward, holding their hands behind their backs, blocking his way.

Shi Baoji said angrily: "Get out of the way!" "Hit out with both palms, bang bang twice, hit the chests of two people!

Shi Bao Jili is as big as a cow, and this palm, even a big bull will be blown away, but when it hits the master of oil slaughter and the head of the Wumei Dao, the result is different. The palm that hit Master Slaughter was like hitting a rock, and it hurt so much that his palm was about to break. And the palm that hit the no-eyebrow Dao Chang was like hitting a silk quilt.

Shi Baoji covered the hand that seemed to be broken, and squatted on the ground in pain.

Shi Shouxin stepped forward to help his son back, glanced at his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Go to the medicine immediately!" ”

"Good ......!" Shi Baoji turned around and left in pain, and said to a person: "It's not this one, it's that one!" He pointed to the one where Shi Baoji was not injured.

Shi Baoji was stunned for a moment: "This one is fine." ”

"This one has been wounded. An hour of injury strikes, and this hand is useless! ””

Shi Baoji was stunned, and turned around and glared at the eyebrows. To the man: "Thank you, Uncle Gao! ”

This person is none other than Gao Huaide, the master of the school and the school.

Gao Huaide and Shi Shouxin were both the founding fathers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world and made great achievements. The two are brothers and sisters with Zheng En. Last time, Zhao Kuangyin killed Zheng En by mistake, and the two almost fell out with Zhao Kuangyin, and finally forced Zhao Kuangyin to cut off the dragon robe to make amends, which is the end. Unexpectedly, this time Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi killed Zheng En's sister again, and refused to admit it, which angered the two of them, so they had to ask clearly.

After visiting Leng Yi last time and not seeing him, they arranged for their eyeliner to be near Leng Mansion. After seeing Leng Yi go back, he immediately reported it. The Zheng family is nearby, and Gao Huaide and they have been at the Zheng family these days, and when they got the news, they immediately rushed over and blocked Leng Yi's sedan chair escort in the middle of the road.

Shi Shouxin looked coldly at the Eyebrow Daoist and the Oil Slaughter Master: "Two good evil methods!" ”

"Joke!" Wumei Daoren sneered, "Your son started beating our two old men, and we didn't fight back, you don't blame your son for bullying the weak, but you blame our two old men for not being killed by your son, it's really a reversal of black and white!" ”

Master Tu You also said: "Exactly! Seeing that you are so domineering, no wonder you dare to block the road and beat people in broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is there no royal law? ”

Shi Shouxin slowly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, if you get cheap, you can sell well!" I can't say it, I'm going to ask for the fists of the two of you with an old bone! ”

"Wait!" Gao Huaide saw that Shi Shouxin was about to step forward and make a rough move, he knew that Shi Shouxin's martial arts were mainly used on the battlefield, and he was afraid that he would have no chance of winning against such a master of the rivers and lakes, and besides, Leng Yi was a big celebrity in front of the officials, and Leng Yi was only responsible for the investigation of this matter, and the matter itself had nothing to do with him. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, you can't be rough.

Shi Shouxin turned to look at him: "Do you want to let them go like this?" ”

Gao Huaide shook his head, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said to the sedan chair: "Lord Leng, this official Gao Huaide, there are also Zhongshu Ling Shi Shouxin, Prime Minister Xue Juzheng, Vice Minister Shen Lun, Privy Envoy Chu Zhaofu, and other court officials, in terms of official positions, which one of them is many levels older than you, don't you get off the sedan chair to see you?" ”

Leng Yi in the sedan chair was still indifferent.

Xue Juzheng also walked up slowly, looked at the two eye-eyed oil slaughter masters and the Wumei Dao Master, and said with his fists cupped: "I'm just waiting to see Lord Leng, there are some things to ask for advice in person, not to ask for trouble." ”

"If you come up and start beating people, it's not looking for trouble?" Wumei said: "If it weren't for the hard bones of our two old guys, those two palms wouldn't have broken all of our bones?" ”

Xue Juzheng also felt that he was at a loss, and looked back at Shi Shouxin.

Shi Shouxin is a military general, but no matter what is reasonable or unreasonable, his fist is reasonable, and he said angrily: "If you don't come out, you will beat him out!" ”

With a wave of his hand, his entourage immediately surrounded the sedan chair. The disciples of Master Tu You and Daoist Master Wumei also unsheathed their swords and stood in front of the sedan chair, glaring angrily.

Xue Juzheng didn't want to turn things into a fight, so the reason became unreasonable. He stepped forward and waved his hand, "Stop!" This is the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, what is the dancing gun and stick? ”

Shen Lun, the second prime minister, stepped forward and arched his hand: "If you have something to say, you don't have to be rude." ”

Master Tu You said: "It's you who want to be rough, we are just guarding the lord, if you want to play, let's play, I'm not afraid of many of you." ”

Shi Shouxin also knows that although there are many people on his side, his martial arts are just average, in fact, he is not the opponent of the other party. waved his hand: "All stand down!" ”

His entourage withdrew.

Xue Juzheng took two steps forward and said to the sedan chair: "Lord Leng, Zheng En's sister, died suddenly, and the cause of death is doubtful. We just need to have a clear understanding of what is going on, so that we can advise the officials. We don't mean to embarrass adults, we just need to tell us in detail about the autopsy. We just want to know, if Daki Mijin really died accidentally, and what evidence is there? ”

Shen Lun also helped: "Yes, our autopsy on Da Ji Beauty found that the corpse had obvious indentations on the mouth and nose, although it can be formed by throwing it into the pile of clothes, but if someone presses the back of the head with their hands in the back, it can also be formed!" And I said that judging from the degree of facial bruises, the latter may form a greater surname, I don't know how the adults explain? ”

There was still no reaction in the sedan chair.

Chu Zhaofu, the privy envoy, also stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The maid of the eldest princess of Wei, Lianqiu, has already made it clear that she saw the official family's guard Long Zhen enter Da Ji Beauty's room through the window that night, but it is said that you did not report this matter to the official family at all, how do you explain this?" ”

Then, these people interrogated repeatedly, and for a long time, there was no response in the sedan chair.

Finally, Chu Zhaofu couldn't help it, his gray eyebrows shook a few times, he walked towards the sedan chair with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "Chu Zhaofu, the privy envoy of this official, wants to meet Lord Leng, and the idler retreats!" With that, he held his head high and slammed into the Oil Slaughter Master and the Eyebrowless Daoist.

The two glanced at each other, and when Chu Zhaofu saw that he was about to bump into them, the two dodged and got out of the way.

Chu Zhaofu smiled proudly, walked to the sedan chair, stretched out his hand to grab the sedan curtain, and said, "Lord Leng is so big, he actually asked me, a dignified privy envoy, to lift the sedan curtain for you, hehe, please get off the sedan chair!" ”

After that, he lifted the sedan curtain and looked inside, and was dumbfounded, only to see that the sedan chair was empty, and Leng Yi was not inside!

"Oops!" Xue Juzheng stomped his feet and said: "Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang!" Fall for his trick! ”

Shi Shouxin also changed color and said: "He must have quietly entered the palace!" ”

Master Slaughter Oil and Elder Eyebrow laughed.

――――――――― Yanfu Palace, a large number of folds fell to the ground scattered. The four treasures of the study on the dragon head royal case are also pitifully scattered all over the place. Only the emperor's jade seal on that side was still upright on the desk.

Emperor Zhao Guangyi walked around the hall with his hands behind his back and a blue face. From time to time he stood and roared: "It's the opposite! It's all the other way around! ”

Leng Yi came in, heard Zhao Guangyi's roar from a distance, and hesitated, he glanced at Wang Jien who was standing at the door with his hands down, and paced over from the side.

When Wang Jien saw him, he also came over and said in a low voice: "You still wait, wait for the official to get angry, and then you can go in." ”

"Good! - But you have to tell me why the official family is angry, and I have a good bottom in my heart. ”

Wang Jien lowered his voice and said: "In the past few days, the ministers of the court have written one after another, accusing the officials of indiscriminately killing innocents, not only the officials of the Imperial Court, the imperial history of the Imperial History Tower, and even the ordinary courtiers are also writing. It is said that the official family should not give Daji a beauty for no reason. ”

Leng Yi said: "There is no such thing, Da Ji Meiren obviously fell to her death by herself, how did she become a gift?" ”

"That's right, they also said that the maid of the eldest princess of Wei, Lianqiu, saw Long Zhen enter the meditation room of Da Ji beauty through the window that night, which was purely out of nowhere! That night, Long Zhen stayed with me outside the main hall of the official family, not leaving an inch, I can testify, how did he go to the meditation room of Daji Beauty? The official family wanted to ask that Lianqiu to question, but the Zheng family said that Lianqiu was not there with them and didn't know where she went. It must have been secretly transferred. The official family is so angry that he smashes things! ”

Leng Yi nodded frequently and said, "The official family issued an order to announce my entry into the palace, what is the matter?" ”

"I don't know about that. After all, you are the person in charge of this case, and the official family may want to ask you what you think. ”

Leng Yi said with a bitter face: "What idea can I have?" Those ministers went crazy and wanted to ask me for guilt, I was frightened, they were all prime ministers and high-ranking officials, and I couldn't afford to provoke any of them, so I had to make a golden cicada come out of its shell, and then I entered the palace. ”

Just as he was saying this, he heard Zhao Guangyi shouting inside: "Leng Yi! Why haven't you come to see me yet! ”

Wang Jien hurriedly went in and bowed down and said, "Lord Leng has already come, waiting outside!" ”

"Let him in!"

Leng Yi hurriedly stepped in, bowed down and said, "Weichen meets the official!" ”

Zhao Guangyi walked to the back of the dragon case and sat down, and said, "The matter of Da Ji Beauty, now Xue Juzheng and Shi Shouxin are sure that I gave her to death, no matter how I explain it, it is useless." You say, "What should I do?" ”

Leng Yi bowed and said, "Da Ji Beauty did die in an accident, there is no doubt about this." When Weichen investigated, the maid of the eldest princess of Wei, Lianqiu, did tell Weichen that she saw Long Zhen enter Daji's beauty's meditation room through the window that night, and she didn't dare to tell them because she was afraid. However, Weichen immediately inquired about Long Zhenyu, and he said that he had been guarding outside the official's meditation room and had never left. Wang Jien said he could testify. ”
