The tense atmosphere quietly relaxed.

If Lin Xiao hadn't gone yet, it would be quite tangled, since it was completely too late to stop it, what else could he do, wait for Xie Langzhong to come.

It is true that they don't want to offend Han Shoufu, but they are also high-ranking officials, so they will not be scared to death by the name of Lord Shoufu.

Among them, Shaoqing of Dali Temple was a person from Han Shoufu's side, and he couldn't help but say: "The young man is acting recklessly, how can he act without asking the officials?" ”

The others were silent.

Zhu Shaoqing was replaced by Feng Shangshu after he withdrew from the three-person investigation team in order to avoid suspicion, and if he found Han Shoufu's head after checking and checking, Zhu Shaoqing would be embarrassed.

When Xie Zhiping was brought to several officials, his face turned pale: "Can't you say something tomorrow?" When is this coming, and you still want me to come to the yamen! ”

"I am in a hurry to follow the power, and I hope Xie Langzhong will forgive me." Yang Shilang said politely.

Yang Shilang, as the left waiter of the Criminal Department, is a high-ranking official with real power in the third grade, but Xie Zhiping is not stunned at all.

The reason is very simple, Xie Zhiping is Han Shoufu's brother-in-law, and Han Shoufu is the first civil official in the dynasty and the emperor's most important minister.

"What the hell is going on?"

"That's-"

"My lord, why don't you let the lower officials ask." Lu Xuan suddenly spoke, interrupting Yang Shilang's words.

If Yang Shilang is so polite, Xie Zhiping will be more confident, and it will be more difficult to ask.

Yang Shilang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

This kind of hot potato is just right to throw to young people, and if young people poke out the basket, they are young after all.

"What did Qi Bianxiu say when he met with you today?" Lu Xuan stared at Xie Zhiping tightly and asked straight to the point.

Qi Shuqiang served as an editor in the Hanlin Academy.

He didn't ask if Xie Zhiping had met Qi Shuqiang today, but directly asked before the meeting.

Xie Zhiping was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What are you talking nonsense, I don't know Qi Bianxiu." ”

Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "The sun has set, Xie Langzhong shouldn't think that we invited you over for no reason, right?" Today at noon, you met with Qi Bianxiu, and someone saw it with their own eyes. ”

Lin Xiao, who brought Xie Zhiping over, stood silently in an inconspicuous place, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

I have to say that Lu Xuan is very good at talking.

The young man smiled lightly, looked calm, and was full of confidence.

Under the gaze of those clear black eyes, Xie Zhiping hesitated for a moment and admitted: "What's wrong with seeing it?" ”

So many adults are looking at it, what this kid said is obviously true, so he won't admit that he has no face.

"Qi Bianxiu is dead."

Xie Zhiping's expression didn't change much: "What do you mean?" He died and asked me what to do? ”

Lu Xuan looked at him fixedly: "Qi Bianxiu died of murder, and the last outsider he saw before his death was Xie Langzhong, shouldn't he ask?" ”

When several officials heard this, they all looked at Yang Shilang.

Lin Xiao went to Qi's house to arrest people before, and when he came back, he only said that Qi Shuqiang hanged himself, but he didn't hear that he was killed.

Could it be that Qi Shuqiang didn't commit suicide in fear of crime, but had another inside story?

Yang Shilang looked calm, and scolded his mother in his heart: Is it suicide or murder, why doesn't Lin Xiao, this kid, have a letter?

No, Xiaolin is still very reliable.

Could it be that he misheard?

Yang Shilang secretly doubted himself, and naturally he couldn't give anyone else any reaction.

When the other officials saw Yang Shilang's unfathomable expression, they became more and more foggy.

Xie Zhiping's face changed: "Impossible! ”

Lu Xuan chuckled: "Xie Langzhong first said that he didn't know Qi Bianxiu, and when he heard the news of Qi Bianxiu's death, he was so sure that he didn't die of murder, can you tell me why?" ”

"Don't go too far, you kid!" Xie Zhiping was not stupid, and jumped to his feet when he heard the faint accusation of this.

Lu Xuan's eyes were slightly cold: "Xie Langzhong made it clear, I asked you to cooperate with the investigation of the imperial examination fraud case as an official of the Criminal Department, and the imperial examination fraud case was thoroughly investigated by the emperor's order." Is Xie Langzhong talking to me now as Tobe Langchu, or is he talking to me as the wife and brother of Shousuke-sama? ”

Doesn't it rely on Han Shoufu's identity, then it's better to find out.

Xie Zhiping was suddenly asked.

It has always been him who says "you know who I am" to others, and then shows his brother-in-law's name.

Of course, he hadn't said that in years.

Looking at the capital, who is a character, who doesn't know who his backer is.

I never expected that the words of Liangming's backer would be said by the other party first.

Zhu Shaoqing hurriedly gave Xie Zhiping a look.

This is a trap, to speak like this as Tobe Langzhong, it is to defy the imperial order, and to speak like this as the wife and brother of Lord Shousuke, it is to oppress people with power.

It doesn't matter if it's in normal times, or if it's a different person.

But this is in the yamen, they all saw it with their own eyes, Lu Xuan is the eldest grandson of Chengguo, the queen's own nephew, Xie Zhiping is not suitable for anything.

Receiving Zhu Shaoqing's hint, Xie Zhiping didn't answer Lu Xuan's words, and said with a cold face: "I just don't think it is possible for him to die of murder." At noon, he came to me for tea, asking me to help find my brother-in-law to intercede for him. How could I help with such a favor, isn't this causing trouble for my brother-in-law, so I refused, and he was lost and left in despair. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Zhiping paused, and looked at Lu Xuan with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "He clearly knows that there is no way to escape the guilt and commit suicide, hehe, who will harm him to a small small repair." ”

This is certainly not the case.

He still remembered Qi Shuqiang sitting opposite in despair.

Qi Shuqiang asked him what to do, and he smiled and said, "You can rest assured that someone will take care of your wife and children." ”

Qi Shuqiang's face was as dead as if he was dead, and he sat for a while, and left without even saying hello to him.

He was sure that Qi Shuqiang would commit suicide after he went back, so he was so surprised when this kid said that Qi Shuqiang died of murder.

"Xie Langzhong knows Qi Bian Xiu so well, it seems that the two of them are very familiar with each other?"

Xie Zhiping was disdainful: "Who is familiar with him, he knows that a catastrophe is coming, and he doesn't want to go the way." ”

"If you don't know each other, you can ask Xie Langzhong out for tea?" Lu Xuan asked calmly.

Xie Zhiping was stunned for a moment, and felt more and more that Lu Xuan was not easy to deal with.

Zhu Shaoqing hurriedly spoke: "According to the official, Qi Bianxiu's death has nothing to do with Xie Langzhong, and the official thinks that Xie Langzhong can go back." ”

"Xia Guan doesn't think so."

The young man's cold and hard tone made Zhu Shaoqing frown secretly.

Is Yang Shilang confused, how can such a case involve this kid.

Lu Xuan stared at Xie Zhiping and said slowly: "When a person is in a catastrophe, the first thing that comes to mind is the person who he trusts or thinks can help the most. Today, at noon, Qi Bianxiu took leave from Shangfeng, and the first thing to see was Xie Langzhong, if Xie Langzhong didn't give a reasonable explanation why this person was you for Qi Bianxiu, then I had to go and tell my uncle in person. ”
