Chapter 309: Motivation
That's what she wanted to do.
Zhen Shiyuan seemed to be choked by her words, and after a pause for a long time, he said: "Then there is no need to make wedding dresses for others, what a big deal this is!" ”
"Lin Yuanlang's hand is good, there is nothing wrong with this matter." Qiao Ran paused as she spoke, and said, "Not to mention, I think it's a great difficulty to confirm this matter." ”
Catching a tail is sometimes no easier than investigating.
“…… Take your liking! Zhen Shiyuan was silent for a moment, waved his hand to drive people away, "The official wants to sort out the file, you can do your own thing!" ”
Own business...... She didn't really have much to do right now.
There is no case and a light body, and most people are self-taught, and she is no exception.
Dali Temple is very idle these days, it is said that the Chang'an Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division of the two yamen watch tightly, even if there is a small fight in the city, there is no big trouble.
However, compared with the Dali Temple, which has nothing to do, the officials are not very good these days.
First, the prisoners who were interrogated hanged themselves during the interrogation, and this kind of self-hanging of the prisoners had already existed, and as an interrogator who had experienced a hundred battles, he should have checked the prisoners under interrogation early in the morning, so as not to find that the prisoner suddenly died in the middle of the questioning. But this time, I heard that there was a mistake in the interrogation, and the prisoner had poison hidden in his teeth, so he committed suicide before he could interrogate a few words.
This was a mistake that had not been carefully examined, so much so that the official Shangshu was taken out by His Majesty and scolded at the court meeting.
In addition, it is the disappearance of Lord Zhou of the Ministry of Officials, but he is an old man who has solved countless cases in the Ministry of Officials and has a small reputation. Originally, I thought that the yamen of the various ministries in the capital posted a search for people, although this Chang'an City is not small, it can be the consciousness of the people of Chang'an, as long as someone sees Lord Zhou, they should report to the yamen.
But for so many days, the yamen of the various ministries just never received news from Lord Zhou, and the old man of the ministry seemed to have disappeared so suddenly.
This made the Ministry of Officials a great headache, and the people of the Zhou family also came to the Ministry of Officials to make trouble several times. I've worked hard all my life, and when I'm old, what is the saying that this is inexplicably gone?
Today, however, things seem to have taken a turn for the better.
Someone tore up the missing person notice posted in Dali Temple and ran to receive the reward, saying that he had seen this Lord Zhou.
Zhen Shiyuan, in order to show his attention to the old opponent's yamen officials, personally met the people who came to receive the reward with a notice.
Qiao Ran grabbed the file taken out of the warehouse, and while drinking tea, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhen Shiyuan who walked out.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Hexiu glanced at the things in Qiao Ran's hand as he passed by with the dossier, and then exclaimed, "Aren't you, you're idle looking at this thing?" ”
Qiao Ran didn't care either, and generously let him see what he was looking at: "I saw a recipe in the warehouse and thought it was interesting, so I brought it." ”
"Xie Zhi has been reading recipes lately." Xu Hexiu sighed, suddenly lengthened his tone, and looked at her meaningfully, "You two are quite idle!" ”
Let's read the recipe together.
Is this a sudden need to learn to cook together?
This is not impossible, I heard that there are young people who are full of learning, and when they are old, they suddenly become obsessed with cooking, planting flowers, raising birds, and self-cultivation.
Qiao Ran didn't hear Xu Hexiu's deliberately elongated tone, but suddenly said, "I smell a smell of oil smoke." ”
The officials of Dali Temple are in contact with the dossier all day long, so it is naturally impossible for them to carry such a strong smell of oil smoke.
Xu Hexiu thought for a while and said, "Xu is the one who came in to receive the reward!" I heard that it is a late-night snack business, specializing in roasting meat dishes and selling them with wine. There are also night watchmen who like to eat such things the most. ”
Mr. Chow disappeared at night, so it is not surprising that the hawker who does the supper business will have news.
"I haven't found anyone for so many days," Xu Hexiu muttered and asked Qiao Ran, "Miss Qiao, do you think this week will be more auspicious?" ”
The yamen of various ministries in the capital dispatched one after another to find someone, and the appearance of the Lord Zhou this week is not the appearance that cannot be found in the crowd, Qiao Ran remembered the Lord Zhou he saw that night, with a long beard and an elegant face, which should not be difficult to identify.
In such a situation, it is naturally not a good thing to find someone.
"It's not a good thing," Qiao Ran said, "but now there is no news, maybe it's the best news." ”
Xu Hexiu understood, and couldn't help but sigh again when he heard the words, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he sighed again.
Qiao Ran heard him sigh one after another in his ear, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Xu, you don't have anything to worry about, don't sigh indiscriminately at me, you don't have a bad mood to listen to people for no reason." ”
Xu Hexiu shook his head and walked away.
Driving away the people who disturbed him, Qiao Ran looked down at the recipe in his hand again. It was that day that she saw Zhang Xie reading the recipe, she just looked around the warehouse, and then took the recipe over, and she didn't know what this recipe was good about.
No, it's still good-looking, and the description is vivid, so that she can imagine the scene just by looking at the words, which makes her mouth water.
Looking at it happily, one hand pressed on her recipe, Qiao Ran looked up at Zhen Shiyuan, who was pressing her recipe, and couldn't help frowning: "Lord Zhen." ”
Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her with a complicated face, ignoring her dissatisfaction, only coughed lightly, and said, "Come in, I have something to say to you." ”
With her? Qiao Ran was a little surprised, thinking that nothing seemed to have anything to do with her these days!
However, Shangfeng's orders, as a subordinate, naturally cannot be disobeyed.
Qiao Ran put together the recipe, raised his feet and followed Zhen Shiyuan in, only took two steps, Zhen Shiyuan stopped, turned back to her and said, "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival leaving the palace, did you find anything wrong with Jiang and Zhou?" ”
Is it about Lord Zhou?
Qiao Ran thought about it, shook his head and said, "No, the two of them worked hard to verify it!" ”
Verification efforts? Zhen Shiyuan was noncommittal, and only said: "When the night supper vendor saw Jiang and Tuesday parting ways, the two had a fight. ”
Qiao Ran couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this, and said: "It's just a quarrel, it's normal to have disagreements when you are doing things in the same department, so you won't kill or harm people!" ”
If you want to kill people because of this, how many officials will die in this Chang'an City a day?
However, listening to Zhen Shiyuan's words, it seems that Lord Zhou's disappearance is related to Lord Jiang.
Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her and said, "How could I not know what you said?" But what if the disagreement lies in the succession of the servants? ”
These two are already old, and it is obviously impossible to fight for the position of the secretary of the ministry, not to mention that the current secretary of the ministry is in the prime of life, if nothing else, the two of them will not be able to take their turn to take this position.
But the servant of the ministry is different, the first servant of the ministry gave a servant half a month ago, this son came out, and I heard that the secretary of the ministry is intended to be recommended among Jiang and Er.
An ordinary official of the Ministry of Officials and the Servant of the Ministry of Officials are naturally different, not to mention, if it goes further, it will also be of great benefit to protect the children and grandchildren.
"Originally, Fang Weizhou's case was a temptation from Lord Shangshu to Lord Jiang," Zhen Shiyuan said and glanced at Qiao Ran and said, "But he lost at your hands, so now the probability of Lord Jiang being recommended is lower than that of Lord Zhou." ”
In other words, if it is for the position of the servant of the ministry, Lord Jiang will have a motive to harm Lord Zhou.
