Luo Cheng stood in front of the Quewei Palace in a crimson four-grade civil official uniform, looking at the palace surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, his eyebrows tightened and loosened, loose and tight, and looked very entangled.

At this moment, Xiao Gang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, happened to be absent, and the Royal Forest Army who entertained Luo Cheng was just a squad leader, and this squad leader was also a good person, and it was very clear that although the adult standing in front of him did not have a big official rank, he had no choice but to give birth to a very promising daughter.

Now who in the capital does not know that the seventh prince King Xi has a soft spot for Luo Qing, the daughter of the second room of the Luo family, although he has not been officially hired, but if nothing else, the future Princess Xi will be the daughter of the Luo family.

King Xi has a very good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and when the Prince ascends the throne in the future, King Xi will inevitably be reused, and among the many princesses, Princess Xi will definitely be the most noble one; Therefore, at the moment, the future father-in-law of King Xi has always been polite to the Imperial Forest Army with his eyes on the top of his head.

"Lord Luo, it's not that you won't be allowed to go in, it's just that the above has explained, no one can approach the Quewei Palace at will without the emperor's dictation, you also know that someone has just died in this Quewei Palace, and this place is not very lucky, your identity is not ordinary, why bother squeezing and shouting to this unlucky place at this time?"

Listening to the words of this squad leader, Luo Cheng's face was pale, he knew very well that this squad leader was willing to stand here and talk to him so much, completely for the sake of his future son-in-law, otherwise, with his identity, how could these royal forest soldiers be willing to deal with him.

But thinking of His Royal Highness the Prince's entrustment and the grievances of Chu Shizi in the prison, Luo Cheng felt that he could never take a step back here, otherwise, he would really live up to the trust of the prince.

"This little brother, it's not that the official doesn't listen to persuasion, it's just that the official received the earnest entrustment of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and was ordered to investigate the murder of the concubine Niangniang, although the imperial doctor has already examined the body of the concubine, but you also know that there are rules for doing our business, and this kind of thing happens from time to time; The official promised you that he would go in and take a few looks, and after a few glances, he would definitely quit obediently, and he would not touch anything; Besides, this official works in the Criminal Department, and since he took office, he has been running around different crime scenes, and he has been to all the dirty places of the evil sect. Therefore, the official does not have so many taboos, what is auspicious or unlucky, in our eyes, there are only cases and victims, and there are no other messy things. ”

The captain of the Royal Forest Army listened to Luo Cheng's words, and his heart was even more depressed.

He didn't understand, why did this Lord Luo screw his head like this, he wanted him to say that when the concubine Niangniang was killed, there was all the human and material evidence, and the most important thing was that he heard that the murderous Chu Shizi confessed to killing Niangniang, since the murderers all confessed, why did these people still run over to investigate again?

What's more, everyone thought that Zhou Guifei's body was waiting to be buried in the palace at the moment, but others didn't know that they, the guards of the palace, didn't they know?!

Where is the body of Zhou Guifei in this Quewei Palace, Niangniang's body was transported out of the palace early in the morning, and I don't know where it was placed.

Everyone in the capital knows that the people of the Luo family are tendons, if Lord Luo knows that the body of the concubine is not in the palace, he will definitely inquire to the bottom of it, and when the time comes, he really doesn't know how to explain.

Just when the captain of the Imperial Forest Army didn't know what to do, he saw the big red man Fu who was waiting by Emperor Showa's side running over with a whisk in his hand.

Seeing that Manager Fu appeared, the team leader hurriedly pulled Luo Cheng to answer, and said: "Lord Luo, there are really unspeakable hardships in the humble position, if you have any problems, just ask the chief manager, and the rest of the humble duties will not be forgotten." ”

Seeing that the team leader pushed himself to Manager Fu, Luo Cheng was also puzzled.

As for the trotting chief, he can understand very well why the Imperial Guards handed people over to themselves; Fortunately, Emperor Showa explained, there is no need to hide it from Luo Cheng, so Manager Fu knows everything.

"Lord Luo is polite, are you here to investigate the case?"

Luo Cheng knew that the chief manager in front of him was the person who could talk to the Son of Heaven, and many courtiers in the court wanted to stammer, although he didn't need to stammer, but simple politeness and politeness were to be done.

"Don't hide it from the general manager, Weichen entered the palace to take a look at the body of the concubine, but this royal forest army guarded the gate of the Quewei Palace to the death, no matter what Weichen said, he was not allowed to enter, Weichen really had no choice; You must know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handed over this matter to Weichen, if Weichen can't handle it, won't he let down the prince? I have lived up to the money I received. ”

Looking at Luo Cheng, who had an upright temperament, Manager Fu had a good impression of him, so he spoke to him a little more politely: "Adults don't have to worry, the miscellaneous family came to see adults at this time, just to show them a clear way and share their worries." ”

Luo Cheng's clear eyes flashed, and he looked at Manager Fu: "What does the Chief Manager mean by this?" ”

Manager Fu pulled Luo Cheng aside, lowered his voice, and said: "The miscellaneous family will not beat around the bush here with the adults, and don't hide it from the adults, in fact, the body of the noble concubine is not in the Quewei Palace at this time, even if you go in, you will not be able to see it." ”

"What? Not in the Bird's Palace? Where is that? ”

Zhou Yanran was active in the harem as the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven before her death, and suddenly suffered a catastrophe and died, so she should be buried in the imperial mausoleum after seven days in the palace where she lived before her death; But now, the attendants beside the Son of Heaven told him that the body of the favorite concubine of the court was not in the palace, which was really appalling.

Could it be that anyone still dares to steal the body of the Son of Heaven's favorite concubine under the heavy protection of the Royal Forest Army?

For a while, Luo Cheng's mind was in a mess, and his eyes were also eager when he looked at Manager Fu.

Seeing Luo Cheng's panicked and anxious appearance, Mr. Fu took Luo Cheng's hand, patted it comfortingly, and said, "Don't worry, adults, and listen to the miscellaneous family slowly; After the concubine Niangniang was killed, the miscellaneous family quietly sent the body of the concubine Niangniang back to the Zhou family on the order of the Son of Heaven; At this time, if the adults want to examine the body of the noble concubine, they should not come to the Quewei Palace to look for it, but should go to the Zhou Mansion. ”

Luo Cheng became more and more puzzled, looked at Manager Fu, and asked: "Chief Administrator, Weichen doesn't quite understand, why did the emperor want to return the body of the concubine to the Zhou family, could it be that the Zhou family themselves proposed it?" This seems to be a bit unlikely, after all, the concubine Niangniang is the concubine of the Jade Butterfly, even if the Zhou family is confused, they also understand that whoever is on the Jade Butterfly of the royal family, whether Niangniang is alive or after death, belongs to the royal family, if they insist on going back to the Niangniang, but they have violated the laws of our court. ”

Looking at Lord Luo, who had such a bright brain, Mr. Fu thought of what Emperor Showa said, and naturally didn't dare to underestimate him anymore, and said: "My lord is smart, I don't have to say too much and understand a lot; Yes, it's not that the Zhou family wants to leave, it's that the emperor allows the mother not to enter the imperial mausoleum, and besides, the name record of Zhou Guifei on the royal jade butterfly has also been eliminated. ”

Luo Cheng looked at Mr. Fu, who said these words to himself with a smile, and suddenly seemed to understand something; Immediately, he didn't ask in detail, and after hugging his fist towards Manager Fu, he said, "Thank you for the reminder, Weichen understands." ”

Manager Fu looked at Luo Cheng, who was advancing and retreating, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper, and said: "My lord is really a smart person, you don't need to talk too much to understand the meaning; Now that the adults are investigating this matter under the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, the miscellaneous family should also help the adults, if the adults want to examine the body of the concubine, although they can go to the Zhou family, if the Zhou family dares to stop it, you will say that this is the emperor's intention. ”

Luo Cheng understood what Manager Fu said and thanked him again.

Then he didn't stay in the Bird Palace and left the palace on his own.

Looking at the back of Luo Cheng leaving, Manager Fu's expression also seemed to be quite old, he knew that this Luo family has always been a stubborn and noble master, and it is precisely because of this temperament that it has always been loved by the Son of Heaven; After all, the Luo family is a scholarly family, and they can educate very good talents and beauties from generation to generation.

The beauty is naturally famous in the capital and has become the object of countless outstanding men's pursuit; The talented son is an official and becomes a pillar of the imperial court, because the Luo family does not like to cling to the powerful, let alone forming a party for personal gain; Such a loyal, obedient and truly learned minister, as long as he is not a faint king, how can the Son of Heaven not like it?

Although Emperor Showa has done a lot of foolish things over the years, he is also a monarch who cherishes talents; Manager Fu could hear that Emperor Showa admired these officials of the Luo family, especially the second master Luo, who was also very optimistic; However, he did not let go of the vigilance that flashed in the eyes of Emperor Showa when he mentioned Luo Cheng.

Emperor Showa was naturally willing to leave a few truly capable ministers for his son to use, but this was also based on the premise that it would not hinder Emperor Showa's implementation of the plan; If this Second Master Luo really stands in the way of Emperor Showa this time, I am afraid that when Miss Luo gets married, she will not have a father to accompany her.

As the saying goes, since ancient times, emperors are mostly ruthless people, although Emperor Showa has a bit of human touch, but after sitting on the dragon chair for a long time, it is inevitable that some changes will occur; In fact, even Emperor Showa himself didn't know that the arbitrary strength he occasionally showed now had a bit of imperial ruthlessness.

Therefore, looking at Luo Cheng who was gradually walking away, Manager Fu sighed thoughtfully, and couldn't help but read a sentence in his heart, I hope that this Lord Luo is a smart and transparent person, and don't really care about some things that shouldn't be taken care of, otherwise, there will be a big disaster.
