Why not pick her?

Is there really anyone in this world who begs not to be hijacked?

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Lord Qian can make this request, but the decision on whether to make this request or not is up to me." ”

That is, he mentioned him, and she decided her own, irrelevant! But Mr. Qian didn't mention it at all.

"Maybe I was stunned for a moment and didn't react." Zhou Shilin picked up the teapot on the table and poured half of the pot, put it down, and couldn't help pouting at the questioning eyes of the girl, and spoke first without waiting for her to speak, "Sometimes people are like this, they will suddenly be confused, and smart people may do stupid things." ”

Qiao Ran looked at him and snorted, and said seriously: "What the Great Governor said is good, although it is a little bizarre, it is not impossible. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhou Shilin's eyelids jumped, and he instinctively looked at the girl, seeing that her expression was calm and calm, and he didn't see anything unusual.

He couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: I always felt that this sentence sounded a little sarcastic, but no one around him laughed, even the youngest Pei Qingqing looked like an old god with a blank expression.

None of the seizures were caused by hair, which was really embarrassing.

Qiao Ran smiled, accepted it when he saw it, and then reminded him with a smile: "Great Governor, the murderer has been sent over, you can try it for a trial." ”

Zhou Shilin hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "Actually, you don't need it, you can come too." It's just that the corners of his lips are slightly curled, indicating that he is in a good mood.

Do things together, and the credit is shared! Although this Lord Qiao is a little weird, and his speech is a little weird, he is still good.

Although I lost my hand with Lord Qian today, I can make up for it if I caught the assassin!

He said, well, people can't be unlucky for a day. Thinking of this, Zhou Shilin patted his obedient robe, coughed lightly, and said, "I'll go and take a look." ”

Now that the murderer has been caught, he will definitely ask the mastermind behind the scenes overnight today.

Hurried back to the prison, several officials who were guarding the prison door immediately stepped forward to salute and called "Great Inspector".

"Someone in there?" Zhou Shilin looked at the locked cell behind them.

Because it was the assassins who assassinated General Gu and Lord Zhao, two important court officials, this matter was not trivial, so the assassins who were captured and picked up were handed over to them and immediately imprisoned in the tightest prison on Shanxi Road.

The previous Master Qian was also locked up in such a prison, and from the outside, he couldn't see the situation in the prison at all. However, Zhou Shilin couldn't help but look at it twice.

The official answered "yes", one took the key to open the door, and the other said: "Because Zhang Tianshi took out the poison from the murderer's teeth before, in order to prevent accidents, we specially tied up the assassin to prevent her from committing suicide." ”

"Well done." Zhou Shilin praised uncontrollably, and then muttered, "Which assassin didn't want to be tied up when he was arrested?" "That's nonsense.

The official who was told didn't dare to refute, but only opened the lock with his colleagues, and then the two pushed open the prison door together.

A strong smell of blood came to my face.

Zhou Shilin's face changed suddenly, he didn't care about anything else, kicked the two officials aside and rushed into the prison.

After just one glance, he gasped, and then couldn't help but scold his mother.

Before he came, he knew that this assassin was a maid and a weak woman, of course, no one would despise this assassin because of the appearance of a "weak woman", after all, he was the murderer of General Gu and Lord Zhao, and his assassination methods and brains were extremely powerful. If it weren't for the fact that they had a more powerful Lord Qiao here, they might not have been able to catch the murderer so easily.

Therefore, after being caught, the official sent the assassin in chains and made him completely immobile.

At this time, the assassin who seemed to be drowning in chains was indeed motionless, only the human head hung weakly to the side, not to mention not moving, it was clearly dead!

"How could it be ......" A few officials who followed up were shocked.

The Assassin, who had been fine before leaving, did not leave at this time, but only drooped his head, and blood dripped from his lips and nose, dyeing the chains in front of him into large patches of dark red.

"How not?" Zhou Shilin scolded, stepped forward and reached out to pinch the murderer's mouth and take a look, and after a while, he turned his head to look at the officials and said, "I bit my tongue and committed suicide." ”

There are thousands of ways for people to die if they are bent on death, but biting their tongues and committing suicide are ...... It is not easy to really bite off one's own tongue, unless there is a determination to die.

Several officials hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Of course, this is not the fault of the official, there are only these things in the prison on Shanxi Road, who would have thought that someone would take away the poison in his teeth, and this assassin actually killed himself by biting his tongue!

"Why didn't you gagged her?" Zhou Shilin scolded with an ugly face.

Plugging the mouth with a cloth ball may not be foolproof, but it also eliminates the possibility of the assassin biting his tongue and killing himself.

Zhou Shilin walked into the hotel with hatred.

"This is really ......" Qiao Ran was silent for a moment when she heard this, looked at Zhou Shilin, and said sympathetically, "Unexpected." ”

Shamefully, she hadn't expected the assassin to bite his tongue and kill himself.

"The credit for those who see it has a share, this is the credit you enjoy, this pot is for me to carry." Zhou Shilin slapped the table and said angrily, "Who am I offending here?" First called the surname Qian and ran away, and then called Miss Yuan to threaten to let him go, and now there is finally good news, but something happened to me, is there any reason? ”

People can't be so unlucky!

It was indeed a little unlucky, Qiao Ran was silent for a moment, and comforted him: "Then forget it, it is impossible for an assassin like this to ask something from her mouth, and we don't have anyone from the Criminal Department." ”

Moreover, even the people of the criminal department dare not guarantee that they can pry open the mouth of every prisoner, and many of them open their mouths under heavy punishment, but many more die on the way to heavy punishment.

That's why the place in the Criminal Department is daunting, and it's chilling to smell it, and there is a place where you have no life to go back to!

Qiao Ran also doesn't have a hobby of studying punishment, compared to this, investigating cases is obviously much more interesting.

After appeasing Zhou Shilin, who had been unlucky all day, Qiao Ran got up to see off the guests, and today can only be like this, let's talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow!

As for the original Jiaojiao who was held hostage today...... This proves that it is not a good thing to let Yuan Jiaojiao stay here, if there is really an accident, His Royal Highness will not have a life-saving miracle doctor, maybe they will also be implicated.

Count the days, the news should be sent back to Chang'an soon! Qiao Ran yawned happily, and it was better to send her back first.

……

……

Some are hungry.

Zhen Shiyuan touched his stomach, and couldn't help touching his nose in embarrassment as he listened to his "ventriloquism".

At that time, he just saw the envoy of Shanxi Road and hurriedly chased after him, but he didn't expect that the envoy would stay for so long as he entered the imperial study, and he didn't come out until now.

It's almost time! That is, others are not hungry, is Your Majesty not hungry?

Zhen Shiyuan rubbed his legs that were a little sore, secretly annoyed, he knew that Ming'er would come to see His Majesty after the early dynasty.

The aroma poured into his nose at this time, and Zhen Shiyuan, who was full of slander, opened his drooping eyelids, and hurriedly turned to look at the two women who came in with food from outside the hall.

The hair is in a bun like a cloud, and the beauty is dignified, but the expression on his face is a rare solemnity for idle women.

Lady Xue!

Zhen Shiyuan hurriedly stood up straight and looked at them.

Lady Xue who walked in with the palace maid walked in front of him and bowed slightly, called "Lord", and then asked the two palace maids behind him to put the meal of the golden plate on the only small table in the side hall, and then said: "Your Majesty still has something to say, I know that my lord has been waiting for a long time, so I asked the people in the imperial dining room to make some snacks, my lord will use it first, Your Majesty will have to wait for a while." ”

Wait for a while, at least wait for more than half an hour, Zhen Shiyuan took a deep breath and thanked him.

In this way, it is not in vain to wait today, but I finally got the imperial meal rewarded by His Majesty.

At such times, how can you care about face? was hungry, Zhen Shiyuan didn't take half a point and sat down, seeing that Lady Xue owed a debt, and when she turned around and was about to withdraw, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she stopped her.

"Female Officer Xue, this official has something to ask."

Lady Xue, who had only taken two steps, stopped, turned to look at him, had no doubts, and her expression was as solemn as ever: "Does Lord Zhen want to ask about Xue Huai?" ”

A small guy was killed, and Xue Huai, who was rumored to be the future lord of the Xue family, was imprisoned in Dali Temple as a murderer, and it was only a few days since the incident. But if you change to someone else, the child who wants to attack the lord becomes a murderer, and you always have to show your face, don't you? But the Xue family has never sent anyone here so far.

Although I don't know if the relationship between Xue Huai and the Xue family will be related to the case, but in line with the principle that no matter how big or small the case is, nothing must be omitted, Zhen Shiyuan still has to ask.

Listening to Lady Xue speak, Zhen Shiyuan nodded.

can stay in front of the palace for so many years, and sit firmly in the identity of the female official in front of the palace, this former Miss Xue, a model among the nobles of Chang'an, is definitely not a stupid person.

It's a pleasure to deal with smart people, no, smart people who don't pretend to be confused.

Lady Xue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and then said loudly: "I don't know what Lord Zhen wants to ask, but the relationship between Xue Huai and my Xue family is indeed not friendly as outsiders see, and as for the matter of attacking the lord, it is even more nonsense. Zhao Xue Huai's succession is just a trust from the clan. Money, my Xue family has never missed him, but he thinks that we are insulting him with money, and he has not come back for a long time, nor has he ever gone home to get money. ”

Guozijian is the money that the Xue family came forward to pay, so even if he doesn't take the money, Xue Huai can live in the Guozijian School and eat the meals in the dining hall, and the ordinary four treasures of the study room and some simple utensils will be provided by Guozijian, so if Xue Huai doesn't come back to get the money, he is not afraid that he will starve to death, but he just has some IOUs.

She told Zhen Shiyuan about these things after a little thought.

Zhen Shiyuan's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately thanked him.

Look at how many female officials Xue are on the road, if you want to ask anything, you can think about it and know what to say, and you don't need him to talk about it. In comparison, the one who went to Shanxi Road was too much, always pretending to be confused, and now that the news came over, he didn't even give him a mouth. If the Xie family knows it, he is still hiding it in the dark, and if you think about it carefully, it is really too much.

Zhen Shiyuan snorted twice and expressed dissatisfaction with this.

When the one who went to Shanxi Road came back, he was sure to talk about it well, and he took a chopstick dish and put it in his mouth. The cooks in the imperial dining room cook well, and the food is even better than the food in their Dali Temple Yamen canteen.

He lowered his head to eat, because he didn't see a palace maid guarding outside the hall to look here, and then quietly walked towards the imperial study.

Walking into the imperial study, the empress, who was sitting behind the table and reading the recital, raised her head slightly: "How is Zhen Shiyuan there?" ”

After the palace maid stepped forward to give a salute, she got up and replied: "Lord Zhen has eaten, look...... I really like the food of the palace kitchen. ”

It seemed that she was hungry, the empress chuckled, pushed the piece at hand aside, and took the urgent report from Shanxi Road that was pressed under the ink inkstone.

"The urgent report submitted by his subordinates was so surprising to me that I forgot about him for a while." The empress pursed her lips as she spoke, the corners of her eyes were slightly curved, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"But it's no wonder that when he saw the envoy of Shanxi Road, he hurriedly followed the palace to come, and he knew that the matter that his subordinate was going to send over must be extraordinary."

The palace maid stood quietly and listened, and echoed with a smile when she heard the words: "What Your Majesty said is that Master Qiao is a powerful person. ”

"A pearl is a pearl, and it won't be dusty even if you put it in the sand!" The empress stretched out her hand and patted her on the urgent report, raising her eyebrows, "No wonder Zhang Xie fell in love when she came back from a trip to Jinling, and tried every possible way to get her back to Chang'an." ”

How could the affairs of the imperial city be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven?

How did Zhen Shiyuan come to Chang'an, and why did this Dali Temple suddenly have a female official, and she also knows about it.

"What a good boy," the empress looked at the urgent report again, and actually played it to her herself, and her courage was really very much beyond the reach of others.

"Let Zhen Shiyuan come over!"

Zhen Shiyuan, who had just finished eating in the side hall and didn't have time to get up and walk around to eat, immediately received the news that His Majesty had an invitation.

After waiting all night, I finally waited for His Majesty's summons.

Zhen Shiyuan settled down and walked into the imperial study.

"Chen Zhen Shiyuan has seen Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" The empress sitting behind the table bowed slightly, looked at Zhen Shiyuan, who was straightened with a smile, and said, "It is within Zhen Aiqing's duty to take care of her subordinates, don't be nervous." ”

Take care of your subordinates? Zhen Shiyuan's body tightened and straightened. He takes care of his subordinates, but he is also partial, for example, those who are particularly good at things, rent a house and dig up a pile of bones, and they can bump into the case when they go out for a walk, so they need to be taken care of.

Of course, he didn't mean to refer to anyone, but anyone who has this kind of person, regardless of gender, regardless of background, no matter which yamen he puts in, must be taken care of.

"The harmony between the upper and lower levels of Dali Temple is really a model for the yamen of all departments in the capital, if every yamen is like Dali Temple, why should I worry about the courtiers not being harmonious?" The curtain swayed, and the face of the empress hidden behind it was not real, but judging from her slightly raised tone, she should be in a good mood.

Your Majesty is in a good mood, which is naturally a good thing for the courtiers, Zhen Shiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, His Majesty's voice rang out again.

"Knowing that Zhen Aiqing takes care of herself, Master Qiao also lives up to her trust......"

The first two sentences were not bad, he nodded secretly when he listened, and there was a little more smile on his face, but the next words made his smile freeze on his face.

"She sent a case from Shanxi Road to ......"

"The witness is on the way to ......"

"It's about Lord Zhao and the Xie family......"

"Zhen Aiqing should lead by example......"

"I'll leave the case to you."
