Chapter 27: Identification is unrecognizable
This young man seems to be rarely angry, and it is precisely because of this that occasional anger will be even more frightening, and the guards who are kneeling on the ground bury their heads very low, not even daring to breathe.
The light of his eyes swirled over the guard, and after a while, Bei Mingchen regained his composure, waved his hand, and he lightly ordered: "Stand down!" ”
"Yes, the subordinates are retired!" Finally waiting for these words, as if after the ghost gate was closed, the guard turned around and quickly wiped the cold sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead with his sleeve.
Xiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, Bei Mingyan's expression was full of worry, and after thinking about it, he still issued an order to Wu Qing, who was standing aside, "Immediately summon all the ministers into the palace!" ”
It was already evening, and the ministers suddenly received the holy decree, so they could only put down what they were doing, and rushed to the palace.
The news of the dam bursting in the Los Angeles River has spread, and some of the more familiar ministers have met in the palace and began to discuss it in private.
"Did you think it could be a coincidence?"
"I don't think it's like it, eighty percent of it is man-made, I'm afraid that this court will set off waves again!"
"Hey, the power is scattered, and this Western Chu court doesn't know when it will be peaceful!"
"In an eventful season, we should be cautious in our words and deeds, and it is better to protect ourselves wisely!"
Several people were talking in a whisper, and suddenly saw Gu Shichong coming from not far away, and hurriedly smiled and said hello, and then they stopped talking, followed Gu Shichong, and walked into the Hanyuan Palace.
In the Hanyuan Palace, Bei Yingyan waited there early in the morning, and almost all the ministers arrived, but they didn't see the shadow of Bei Yingchen for a long time.
"Ruiling King Xu is delayed by something, let's start first!" As Bei Mingyan in the hall opened his mouth, the discussion in the hall stopped abruptly.
"Presumably, all of you have heard about the bursting of the Luocheng River Dam, and I suddenly summoned everyone to the palace, it is for this matter, all Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"
"The river dam in Los Angeles has just been repaired, and it has cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources, so it stands to reason that there should be no problem, and it is likely that someone abused his power and embezzled the money for repairing the river, and cut corners in the construction process!"
After everyone looked at each other for a moment, a minister finally stood up and said his opinion, this person was one of the Gu family's henchmen, Jiao Yuanlu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
Even if he didn't name him, his meaning couldn't be more obvious, the person responsible for repairing the embankment of Los Angeles was none other than Zheng Zerun, the magistrate of Luocheng, Jiao Yuanlu said this, it was nothing more than pushing the responsibility on Zheng Zerun.
"For so many years, Zheng Zhixian has always been responsible for the repair of the Luocheng River Dam, and there has never been any problem, and Zheng Zhixian is an upright person, and he is even more upright, and the minister feels that there must be another hidden story in this matter!"
He Hong stood up and retorted that Zheng Zerun, the magistrate of Los Angeles, is He Hong's old friend, and his personality He Hong couldn't be clearer, and he will never treat the lives of the people in the city as child's play.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, it is precisely because of so many years that there has never been an accident, and the person responsible for repairing the river dam will have a fluke heart, and the river repair money allocated by the imperial court to Los Angeles is not a small amount, and it is also human nature to see the intention of making money!"
As soon as He Hong's voice fell, even if someone stood up against his statement, this person was also a henchman of the Gu family, and Zhou Ming, the Qing of Guanglu Temple.
At this time, Bei Mingchen suddenly broke into Hanyuan Hall with a body of wine, and all his eyes fell on him unexpectedly.
"You go on!" With an embarrassed smile, the North Stygian Dust Trail walked in, found a suitable position, and stood in the crowd.
The narrow phoenix eyes swept over the person who had just come in, Bei Mingyan didn't pay attention to it, but just faintly continued to ask the people in the hall: "What other opinions do you have Aiqing?" ”
Half of the ministers in the court are party members of the Gu family, and half are in a wait-and-see state, just want to be a good old man quietly, and no one wants to offend.
There are only six Shangshu He Hong who are really dedicated to the country and the people and have some weight in the court, if anyone else can be regarded as honest and fair, it is Feng Jitao, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Ge Liang, the servant of the Criminal Department.
Although Feng Jitao is good friends with He Hong, he is shrewd, and all the conspiracies in it, he knows that it is useless to say more, so he simply keeps silent.
And Ge Liang is not good at words, and he is relatively neutral in the court, so he basically just does what he should do, but rarely expresses his own opinions.
After the Northern Darkness broke in, the court suddenly became silent, and after a moment of silence, Gu Shichong finally opened his mouth slowly.
"There is no basis for words, it is meaningless for everyone to speculate here, what is the ins and outs of the matter, you will know it at a check!"
"What Gu Xiang said is, who does Gu Xiang think is more appropriate to hand over this matter to?" Complying with the words, Bei Mingyan continued to ask.
"The stakes are very high, for the sake of fairness, Lao Chen believes that it will be more appropriate for Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to intervene in the investigation at the same time!"
"Gu Xiang's proposal is very good, just according to what Gu Xiang said, immediately send someone to investigate this matter!" Bei Mingyan directly adopted Gu Shichong's suggestion, and after saying this, he got up and left from his seat.
"That's all for today's temporary pilgrimage, let's go back to each other!" With a sharp voice, Wu Qing announced loudly, and after dropping this sentence, he hurriedly followed Bei Mingyan, who was walking in front.
The closed secret room, without a single window around it, and on the wall lamps, a bright yellow candle flame illuminated the whole room, and the dim light struck the two handsome faces that were exactly the same.
"It seems that Gu Shichong is ready to do it!" At this time, Bei Mingchen looked completely free of the drunkenness he had just had in the lobby.
"Let Dali Temple and the Criminal Department investigate together, Gu Shichong is thoughtful, everyone knows that Ge Liang, the servant of the Criminal Department, acts upright and selfless, not to mention, He Hong is still a six-part scholar, and the six can be controlled by him! In this way, it will not be talked about! The corners of his lips hooked slightly, and Bei Mingchen smiled coldly and analyzed.
"But in reality, everything is just a cutscene! Whether it is Dali Temple or the Criminal Department, there are people from Gu Shichong, how this case is concluded, it is not still him Gu Shichong who has the final say! ”
After receiving the words, Beimingyan's eyes were deep and complex, and as he spoke, his hands couldn't help but clench into fists.
When Bei Mingyan put away his gentleness in front of outsiders, and Bei Mingchen put away his usual cynicism, the two brothers, standing together, are really indistinguishable.
"Gu Shichong is ambitious, his goal is definitely not Zheng Zerun, the small county of Los Angeles, Zheng Runze is He Hong's hand, if Zheng Runze has an accident, He Hong will naturally not be able to get out of it!"
