Faith King? Old Madam Mu thought for a while, and suddenly nodded clearly, and also felt that her daughter-in-law's proposal was very good. The old lady obviously didn't understand all Gu Yilan's thoughts, she thought that Gu Yilan would propose to let King Xin investigate, because He Wenmao was a party of King Yi, and King Xin would never show mercy to King Yi's party, so if He Wenmao really had a problem, King Xin would definitely investigate it to the end and would not be impartial.

The ladies of the Mu family are also satisfied with the candidate proposed by Gu Yilan, especially the third lady Mu who absolutely trusts her son's judgment and is eager to take revenge, she has almost completely believed in Jiang Wenbin's judgment from the heart, so for the third lady, Zheng Ying, the king of letters, is really an excellent candidate to investigate the case.

Gu Yilan proposed to let Zheng Ying investigate, and she did have this consideration. But more importantly, Gu Yilan felt that if Zheng Ying came to investigate this case in person, she should be wholeheartedly biased towards Anguo Mansion, provided that he really liked Mu Hongsheng very much.

This is also a good opportunity to test Zheng Ying's mind. Gu Yilan also wanted to see what Zheng Ying could do for her family's red clothes, and whether she was really in love with the red clothes as Xie Shurou observed.

If Zheng Ying can really work hard to protect the Mu family in this matter, then she will not need any doubts and hesitation, and do her best to promote the Gu family to choose Zheng Ying.

But after the emperor listened to Gu Yilan's words, his face showed a little curiosity, and he asked, "Oh? Do you think it's good to believe in the king? Then tell me, why is it King Xin, not King Yi? ”

The answer was prepared by Gu Yilan in advance, she thought, even if Xie Shurou was present, I am afraid that she would not mind her taking advantage of Xie Shurou's current delicate relationship with King Yi in this situation.

"Your Majesty, you mentioned before that Lord Xiao Xie is an official of the household department and an insider, so it is not appropriate to send Xie Xiang to investigate." Gu Yilan replied: "Your Majesty, you must also know that King Yi likes the daughter of Lord Xie, Sister Xie will be eighteen, and everyone knows that the relationship between the two will be settled in the near future." Therefore, the courtiers thought that King Yi was not suitable. The courtiers did not mean that King Yi would be biased, but this matter involved the household department, and in order to avoid criticism, it is also good to avoid suspicion in advance. ”

"Hmm." The emperor nodded, with a noncommittal look: "My little five and six are both smart children, no matter who I send, I can rest assured." ”

"Since Your Majesty is relieved," Old Madam Mu said at the right time, "Then it is better to send King Xin to investigate this matter thoroughly." If the king comes to check, the old body can also rest assured. ”

After listening to Mrs. Mu's opinion, the emperor did not hesitate, and he himself felt that Zheng Ying was quite suitable, so he quickly made a decision. After making a decision, he first warned Jiang Wenbin and strictly ordered him not to leak a word, nor to go to Xie Changjing to report the news, and then drove the person out.

Then the emperor sent Chen Quanli to pass on Zheng Ying in person in front of Mrs. Mu.

Zheng Ying, Zheng Jin and several important ministers of the court have been waiting in the duty room at the palace gate for a whole day, and everyone is more or less tired. finally waited for Chen Quanli to appear in the duty room, but the emperor only passed Zheng Ying alone, which made others a little surprised.

Especially Zheng Jin, he glanced at Zheng Ying, his expression was not abnormal, but he came to Chen Quanli's side with a concerned face and asked: "Gonggong Chen, my father has been in the imperial study all day, and lunch is useless, and this king is a little worried." ”

"Alas! Where can you take care of this! Chen Quanli is the same person, of course he knows what Zheng Jin actually wants to ask, and this is not something that needs to be hidden, so Chen Quanli is very happy to solve Zheng Jin's doubts: "The old lady of the Mu family and several ladies are also in the imperial study, ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly!" How can the emperor have the heart to eat. No, the emperor has just decided to send King Xin to investigate this matter thoroughly, and there are still many things to do! ”

"It turns out that my father sent the five emperor brothers," Zheng Jin nodded, the expression on his face was very sincere: "The father is still wise, the fifth emperor brother is cautious and careful, and he is indeed a very suitable candidate." ”

Chen Quanli smiled but didn't answer, hurriedly saluted Zheng Jin, and took Zheng Ying to the imperial study.

Zheng Ying also never expected that the emperor would send him to thoroughly investigate the case. But when he saw the evidence about Zhao Zhiliang in the emperor's hand, he vaguely understood why the emperor made such a decision.

This saved Zheng Ying trouble. He had already decided that he would intervene in this matter no matter what, no matter what, he would find out this matter clearly, even if the matter was so extensive that it could not be put on the table, or even could not be handled, then he would give Mu Hongsheng an explanation and an explanation in private. Now that the emperor has directly sent him to investigate the case, it is more convenient.

"You go to talk to Jiang Wenbin, the squire of the military department, first," the emperor instructed, "remember to avoid people's eyes." Little Wu, I believe in you, you have always been smart and cautious, and you know what you need to do. ”

"Father, don't worry." Zheng Ying nodded, carefully picking up the confession and evidence.

"The officials of the three law divisions are at your disposal," the emperor said again: "You choose the person yourself, in which direction to check, how to check, you decide this." It's up to you to decide which of these things can be investigated openly and thoroughly, and which ones need to be investigated secretly, and I only need the results. ”

"Erchen knows." Zheng Ying nodded, turned slightly and arched her hand towards Old Madam Mu: "Erchen must do his best to give an explanation to his father and the Duke of Anguo." ”

"Go ahead." The emperor waved his hand: "Call the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Dali Siqing and Yushi Dafu to come in to see me, and I want to tell them a few words." ”

Zheng Ying didn't delay any longer, turned around and left. He left the imperial study and walked directly to the outside of the palace, planning to talk to Jiang Wenbin first according to the emperor's instructions. However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Sun Shangshu and General Zhenguo of the military department standing at the door of the duty room, looking anxious.

"Your Highness," General Zhenguo asked impatiently, "what does Your Majesty say?" ”

"General Zhenguo is a little restless, everything is still inconclusive, what can my father say." Zheng Ying replied, in a businesslike tone, polite but distant.

"Your Highness," General Zhenguo wiped the sweat from his head: "This time, the team escorting military funds was attacked, and Jin Lingwei also suffered heavy losses!" General Wen's whereabouts are unknown until now, and you have to ...... for us to preside over a thorough investigation of this matter."

"General," Zheng Ying tilted her head slightly, looked at General Zhenguo, and replied lightly: "Since my father sent this king to investigate thoroughly, then this king will ask the general first, five hundred carts of grain and grass, and two hundred carts of ordnance, but why did the general only send a mere five hundred people to escort it?" ”
