"On that day, after Ang Lee's third lady left the Sheng Mansion, she took the little maid back to the Li Mansion on her own, Ang Lee and the eldest lady still had important things to take on a different road, the woman seemed to be unwilling, and she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and she didn't notice the well under her feet, and she fell by mistake."

I didn't believe the words I said, but this was the answer given by the government, and there seemed to be someone to testify, she was a lonely and nameless woman, although she felt that something was wrong, but no one was willing to waste that time to overturn the case for the woman, and the case was hastily closed.

Even Ang Lee didn't care that the corpse of his third lady was so ugly, and he didn't care that the woman was a woman from the land of fireworks, so he buried her thickly, and got a good reputation because of it.

"It seems that this lord and lady are inseparable from this matter, but it's a pity, such a young life."

Zhen Chutian didn't say much after listening to Gu Chenghan's words, he had long known that he would not be able to convict those people in the end, because even if he was defined as a woman, he couldn't make too much trouble in Zhen Chutian's heart.

"The former prime minister died, and he died in his hometown of Lizhou a month after resigning."

Yesterday, Gu Chenghan was invited into the palace by the eunuch in the palace on the road, and that person Gu Chenghan was quite familiar, so he just glanced at the Tiandu Mansion that was close at hand, turned around and got into the sedan chair that the great eunuch had already prepared.

Although there was no change on the face along the way, but there were some doubts in my heart, the empress had never summoned herself in such a hurry, something big must have happened, and I was worried, but the big eunuch didn't know anything, so I had to walk into the imperial study with apprehension.

The early dynasty dispersed early, the empress was still dressed as an early dynasty, and it was rare that one day she was not able to go to the court and was called into the palace by the empress, if Gu Chenghan said that it was naturally impossible not to complain, but there was a difference in the importance of things, how the empress Gu Chenghan knew in her heart.

"Here we are."

The brows that had been frowning tightly stretched slightly when she saw Gu Chenghan, and the maid behind her stepped forward to rub her temples for the empress.

"But what happened? Calling Gu Chenghan into the palace in such a hurry is not like His Majesty's previous style. ”

Before the words fell, I saw that the empress had already handed Gu Chenghan the secret fold that she had just held in her hand to see.

After a moment's hesitation, he stepped forward to take it.

"The prime minister is dead?"

The amount of information on the dense fold was really a bit too much, and after Gu Chenghan read it carefully, he repeated it again.

The prime minister is not as good as the former prime minister, the former prime minister because of his age, a month ago to the empress to resign and return to his hometown, although the empress intends to stay the prime minister, but the prime minister's words are heartfelt, even if he doesn't want to, he has to let go.

Although it was a resignation, but the prime minister was a great hero in the imperial court and the empress during his reign, although the empress was heartbroken, but also gave the prime minister the greatest glory, I thought that the prime minister would spend a hundred years in peace when he returned to Lizhou, but who would have thought that he was found dead in his home in Lizhou in January.

"Prime Minister... Hey, it's a pity, the situation of the prime minister's death is a little complicated, and if you take someone on a trip, the situation behind this must not be simple. ”

The empress glanced at Gu Chenghan, and then handed another excerpt to Gu Chenghan.

The matter of the prime minister's resignation and return to his hometown is known to everyone in Chifeng Kingdom, but the prime minister has been in power for more than ten years, and he has never offended people too much, even if he has offended a little bigger, he is in the capital, and he has secretly sent people to protect the prime minister, and it is impossible for him to die so easily.

"Someone found out to be a suicide?"

Gu Chenghan read the folds given at the back at a glance, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

When the prime minister resigned and left Beijing, Gu Chenghan also went to send it, in the end, he can be regarded as having some friendship with the prime minister, although the later became just a nodding friend, but the students who were taken by the prime minister back then were also the teachers of the prime minister, as the so-called one day as a teacher and a father for life, Gu Chenghan still felt a little pity.

"There are still various wounds on the body after being investigated, and the left and right compromises are not clear, and you still need to go there."

The face that has always been shrewd and capable is a little tired, Rao is always a strong empress outside, but she is just a woman's body, although she is strong and extraordinary, but after all, she is a mortal child.

"The empress still needs to rest more, and this matter in the court is not something that can be handled properly in one or two days."

has always had an excellent relationship with the empress, and there is also a young relationship, and he does not think too highly of the emperor in front of him.

"Don't worry, it's not easy behind this, do you want to take anyone with you?"

looked at Gu Chenghan for a long time, the tiredness on his face disappeared a little, but the rest was in the mood of watching a good show.

"This time, that person is in the dark, we are in the light, it must be extremely dangerous, take Zhen."

The banter that flashed on the empress's face Gu Chenghan also saw it, but this was what he thought in his heart, so he was naturally neither humble nor arrogant.

"It's true."

It was rare that Gu Chenghan couldn't understand the words of the empress of Fang Cai, and his eyes were a little more puzzled when he looked at the empress.

"Since Zhen Chutian was recommended by Gu Chenghan, he naturally took it with him when he went out, and the person who can be favored by you Gu Chenghan will naturally not be bad, do you say yes or no?"

It's been a long time since I've been able to see Gu Chenghan look so confused, and Gu Chenghan, who is getting older, has long since lost the youth of the previous years, and some only have the smile on his face all the time, and the quiet calculation.

"That's natural, there must be a conspiracy behind the prime minister's death, and with Zhen Chutian's ability, he naturally has to go with him."

Suddenly, I didn't understand the empress's thoughts, but Gu Chenghan didn't care.

"Hehe, Zhen Chutian did a good job in the ghost fire case this time, but why does it seem that the main force in the closed case is not Zhen Chutian? Didn't you say before that the ghost fire was extinguished by Zhen Chutian? ”

casually flipped through the ghost fire Brahma that had closed the case some time ago, the empress was very curious, but in her mind, she couldn't help but recall how Xu Yuan came to the palace in such a panic that day to explain.

The original intention was to let Xu Yuan assist in the investigation of the ghost fire case, but it was a little annoying that this person was talking in his ear, and the second was that this Zhen Chutian was originally transferred to the capital by Gu Chenghan from Fulai County, and he just took over the ghost fire case, if he couldn't solve the case for a long time, it was naturally Gu Chenghan's face, and it was the clues that Xu Yuan whispered in his ear really let this person go to Tiandu Mansion.

Now this ghost fire case has been in the capital for a long time, and Xu Yuan has obviously had clues but has been hiding them, and now after seeing Zhen Chutian in the limelight, he stepped forward again and wanted to tell him his clues, and selfishly wanted to get a piece of the pie, but this person did it, and it seemed that this person's clues still accounted for a lot of credit in the closing of the case, so the empress couldn't figure it out.

Since Zhen Chutian entered the capital and entered the palace, the empress has been ordering someone to observe this person in secret, probably without malicious intent, although Zhen Chutian has noticed the secret guards following her several times, but she doesn't care too much, and the empress still knows about some things that should be known.

"Zhen Chutian has just arrived in the capital now, so naturally he can't be too ostentatious, no matter what the outcome is, it is excellent if this final case is solved."

Gu Chenghan couldn't help but glance at the empress, he already knew the meaning behind Fang Cai's words, but he was also a little dissatisfied, and even sent someone to secretly follow Zhen Chutian in private!

"It's rare that you care about others so much."

seemed to be smiling, but when Gu Chenghan lowered his head, the empress's eyes were full of playfulness.

"It's not a good thing to be sharp."

sighed slightly, if it was someone else, Gu Chenghan couldn't wait for that person to be more and more dazzling, but now this person is Zhen Chutian, so he can't bear to let Zhen Chutian suffer from danger other than the case.

Naturally, the capital does not have the safety of Fulai County, but since Zhen Chutian was transferred from Fulai County by himself, he naturally had to protect Zhen Chutian well.

"Since you are like this, this matter will be turned a blind eye, this inspection of the rest of the lonely does not want to restrain you more, but you have to find out about the prime minister's case, the person behind this is a little impatient, after all, the prime minister has assisted the Chifeng Kingdom for many years, so naturally he can't make the people feel cold."

"Yes, don't worry, the empress."

"If nothing else, step aside."

However, she has been talking to Gu Chenghan in good spirits, and the empress saw that she wanted to give orders to let things go, and Gu Chenghan had already responded one by one, so she was naturally a little tired.

After making a salute, Gu Chenghan left, and wanted to go straight back to Tiandu Mansion, but he didn't expect that he encountered something before he left the palace.

The prime minister resigned and returned to his hometown just to stay with a lady, most of the women stayed in the capital, the prime minister was honest all his life, and the rest of his life was only two female daughters, I don't know where to get the news, I knew that my father had already been angry, and at this time he was shouting to ask the empress for an explanation.

Because of the status of the prime minister, the prime minister's children will naturally have more preferential treatment in front of the empress, but unfortunately this daughter is an unassuming woman, who married her husband's family in the early years.

The empress was already taboo about this matter, and the woman even wrote three times and twice to take her husband's life, and her father had already returned to her hometown, so she took advantage of the power left by the prime minister and her reputation became more and more unscrupulous.

"Master Gu."

I wanted to dodge a little, but I was still seen by sharp-eyed people.

"Mrs. Lan? What's the matter? ”

The Lan family is the husband's family married to the prime minister's daughter, and there is already some relationship that is not big or small Again, Gu Chenghan doesn't want to make things more and more ugly.

"Master Gu, have you just gone to see Her Majesty the Empress? Her Majesty the Empress is still in the palace now, right? This brother dog slave actually stopped me and didn't let me see Her Majesty the Empress! ”

In the end, I didn't dare to be too presumptuous, for some reason, there was always an inexplicable fear of Gu Chenghan.

"Mrs. Lan doesn't know what is important to find Her Majesty the Empress?"

"Naturally, it is an important matter, my father is now so unclear that he died in his hometown in Lizhou, so naturally he wants to find the empress to be my father's master! My father has been an official for decades, and he has done his best for the court, not to mention the merits, but also hard work! How could the Empress know about my father's death so indifferently! And now my husband is still in the prison of Dali Temple, and my father died in Lizhou, which is the time when someone needs to guard the soul! ”

The second half of the sentence is the point, it is nothing more than wanting the empress to release people from prison!

glanced vaguely at the eunuch who was supposed to stop Mrs. Lan, but saw the helplessness on his face, and after a little thought, he knew what the empress meant.

"Your husband has committed a serious crime, even if it is a vigil, it can't be released, now the empress is investigating the prime minister's case, you still don't go to the empress to dangle in front of it, the affairs of the court are complicated, the empress has been very worried recently, you must not worry about the empress, otherwise the empress is angry, and your husband will have no room for maneuver."
