Chapter 180 is a hard nut to crack
As soon as Gu Chuyu's words came out, several ministers around Gao Shangshu were in an uproar.
Although they were shocked, the Prime Minister had no intention of discussing with them at all, and they couldn't open their mouths if they wanted to.
But when everyone thinks about it, they can find that this errand seems to be cheap, but it is not easy for the people of Xuanzhou Mansion.
If you want to solve the case within ten days, you either have to be ruthless and dispose of Li Daoyuan, or you have to find evidence that can prove Li Daoyuan's innocence.
Another difficulty in this case is that the stolen goods are obtained in front of His Majesty, and if there are no other clues, it is more difficult to argue for Li Daoyuan or prove Li Daoyuan's innocence than to ascend to the sky.
Mei Xiaoren frowned, how complicated this case was, she had already asked Mrs. Li to interrogate the people in the mansion, but she didn't ask anything about it in the past few days, and now she wanted her to find out the truth within ten days...... Is this promoting her, or is it giving her a problem?
But even if it is a hard bone, she has to gnaw it, which is better than letting Lao Li fall into the hands of Gao Jingshu.
Mei Xiaoren gave up his hand.
After Gu Chuyu gave this order, he got up and left the main hall, without mentioning the assassin's assassination last night, leaving the ministers to talk about it.
The fat in his mouth flew, Gao Jingshu didn't understand it very well, and wanted to ask the scholar of Wei, but the scholar of Wei also followed the prime minister to the apse.
He had no choice but to stay where he was and wait for the official secretary to approach.
There was no expression of gain or loss on the face of the official Shangshu, Gao Jingshu stepped forward and whispered urgently: "Uncle, this ......"
"You've got to hold your breath." The official Shangshu looked at Mei Xiaoren, who went out with Wei Guogong, smiled and said, "It's the first time I've seen a six-rank petty official, and I dare to talk like this in front of him." ”
"So what, didn't the Prime Minister give him the position of prefect?"
"You think it's a good thing to be a temporary prefect? This is the Prime Minister treating him, you just wait to see how he can't solve the case in ten days. The official Shangshu smiled and sighed as he walked, "At that time, if he didn't let Li Daoyuan confess, he would have to take off his official uniform; Even if Li Daoyuan pleaded guilty, he, the temporary prefect, might not be able to continue to be the prefect. ”
"What does uncle mean that Mei Xiaoren bumped into the adult, and the more he doesn't want to take it, the adult will give him the case and wait for him to confess himself?"
"You just wait for ten days with peace of mind, even if Wei Guogong helps him speak, it will be useless, since the death of the first emperor, even Wei Guogong has to be a vassal to the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking at the entire Daning, no one can protect him!"
Gao Jingshu was relieved at this time, and glanced at the distant figure with a smile.
Apse.
Wei Shuying sighed when he entered the door: "I didn't expect Gao Zheng to really have some guts, how long has the Wenfu fallen, he doesn't take it as a lesson, and he dares to entrap the henchmen." ”
What impressed Gu Chuyu was not who was strong, but that he couldn't see her joys, sorrows, and sorrows after not seeing her overnight, all he saw was her casual appearance. It's a disguise, and it can also be called a defense.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Wei Shuying took a few steps forward, walked around to Gu Chuyu, and asked again: "By the way, how was that female assassin interrogated, where did she come from?" ”
"She died, and she bit her tongue and killed herself as soon as she was imprisoned."
"Dead?" Wei Shuying frowned, "No wonder you didn't mention this matter today, there is no proof of death, so forget it?" ”
"She is not from Li Daoyuan's mansion, but from a Jianghu force called the Flowing Fire Gang." Chu Yu walked to the table, picked up a piece of paper on the table and handed it to Wei Shuying, "The woman has such a tattoo on her back." ”
Wei Shuying took it and looked at it, the pattern was like a fire, easy to identify. He couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that those self-proclaimed righteous people want to assassinate you under the banner of acting for heaven?" ”
Gu Chuyu didn't answer, glanced at Wei Shuying, and said lightly: "You go and call Gao Zheng to ask, don't you know?" ”
Wei Shuying was taken aback: "It's called Gao Zheng?" Are you ready to do it now? ”
"Ten days is too long, three days is enough."
"I think you're afraid that Brother Mei is in a hurry, the ten-day period is really tormenting for him, what he can do is not to solve the case, but to convince himself to kill Li Daoyuan." After Wei Shuying sighed, he nodded, "It's okay, Brother Mei is not stupid, when we finish everything, he will naturally understand who you are doing." ”
Mei Xiaoren walked down the Vermilion Boat with Wei Guogong, and on the way he thanked Wei Guogong a few more words, thanking him for arguing with Gao Shangshu and his henchmen just now in order to speak for her.
Wei Guogong still said the same sentence, saying that these are all entrusted by His Royal Highness King Yu.
Like last night, Ei waited under the boat, and when he saw her coming down safely, he smiled at her.
"Your Highness." Mei Xiaoren shouted.
"How's the wound on your hand?"
Mei Xiaoren replied with deep eyes: "It's no longer a hindrance, His Royal Highness Xie cares." ”
Wei Guogong sighed: "Since the Prime Minister has already allowed you to temporarily take the position of prefect, then you should go and pick up Li Daoyuan and return to the yamen to detain him, it is better to stay in the government than to stay here." ”
"Temporary prefect? He asked you to temporarily act as the prefect? Jiang Yi couldn't help but look sideways, "Will he be so kind?" ”
"It's not kindness, it's ......" Wei Guogong also had a sad face when he mentioned this appointment, I don't know if Mei Xiaoren angered Gu Xiang and got such a difficult errand.
"It's okay, I'll do my best." After Mei Xiaoren said this, he saluted Wei Guogong and Jiang Rong and retired.
She went to the boat of the Criminal Department and watched the officials of the Criminal Department open the cage and let Lao Li out.
Lao Li had already lost a lot of weight, and because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, he blindfolded his eyes with his hands the moment he walked out of the cabin.
Mei Xiaoren unfolded the folding fan to shield Lao Li from the sun. Lao Li turned his eyes to look at her, and with a smile on his face, he said, "I haven't congratulated you yet." ”
Mei Xiaoren frowned, "I don't want my lord's congratulations, this son is your old man's, you have to take it back in the future." ”
"Take it back...... Where is it so simple. Governor Li said with a smile, his tone was helpless.
Mei Xiaoren was also helpless, she took Lao Li from the dock back to the mansion, and the place where Lao Li wanted to stay was still a prison cell.
Now there are too many eyes staring at them in the Xuanzhou Mansion, and Lao Li is still guilty and has to be trapped in prison. All she could do was let him live in a clean and spacious cell, and treat him well with food and drink.
At night, there were only two people standing in the main hall of the Vermilion Bird Boat, making the entire hall still seem empty.
Gao Shangshu waved his back towards the front, "I don't know what happened when the Prime Minister summoned the lowly post to come?" ”
Gu Chuyu was holding a booklet in his hand behind his back, he had finished reading it, and he was going to show it to Gao Jingshu's own people, he turned around and threw the thing to Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it steadily, opened it and looked at it, his eyes widened more and more as his gaze moved, his hands kept shaking, and the whole person became more and more panicked......
