The three of them were unprecedentedly unified in front of Jiakangdi, and strongly recommended that the case be handed over to the Criminal Department for investigation, and they all called the Criminal Department the first Yamen of Daqi.

Anyway, the Criminal Department is the most powerful, and the three of them are reluctant, but they will still work hard to do their jobs and try their best to cooperate with the Criminal Department to find out the truth as soon as possible.

When he got Jiakangdi's handwritten decree, Fufeng Taishou was completely relieved, as long as this matter was handed over to the Criminal Department, it would be easy to do after that.

It was about the prince, and the three of them did not dare to delay, and immediately went to the criminal department to jointly announce the decree.

Su Zhao, the son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, is now a small clerk in the Criminal Department, of course, he has dragged the relationship with his father, because there is such a Shangshu father on his head, Su Zhao is still very comfortable in the Criminal Department, working as usual, and does not have to work overtime and stay up all night.

When Fufeng Taishou arrived at the Criminal Department with the bright holy decree, Su Zhao was burying his head in the old case file.

King Shen's murder has already swept the entire Criminal Department, and everyone is betting on guessing how likely this matter is to be thrown to the Criminal Department.

Only Su Zhao didn't bet anymore, because no one dared to ask him.

"Su Zhao, I'm done with all this, what about you?"

Colleague A clapped his hands, and after explaining to Su Zhao, he was going to go to the pantry to get some food and drink to replenish his strength, this sorting out the file is a chore, but if you enter the criminal department, you have to start from this place, even Su Zhao starts from the bottom, and the others have no opinion.

Although he finally asked about Su Zhao's progress in passing, colleague A really just asked casually, and he didn't expect Su Zhao to really take care of himself.

"I still have a few that haven't been sorted out, by the way, please hand over these two pieces of silver."

"Huh? Where's the delivery? ”

"I don't know, but you should bet, right? Help me press the meeting and hand it over to the criminal department. ”

Colleagues A went out with the silver that Su Zhao handed over to him, and as soon as he took a sip of tea in the pantry, he heard someone running in and saying that Master Shangshu had accepted the order, and the teacup that was almost startled turned over.

Did this Su Zhao open the back door? Bet in such a timely manner and make a steady profit of ten taels!

Su Shangshu glanced at the holy decree in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

The three Taishou not only smeared oil under their feet but also stepped on watermelon skins, and after announcing the decree, one ran faster than the other, for fear of being left behind to drink a cup of tea.

After Su Zhao finished handling the rest of the official business, he took the ten taels of silver brought back by his colleague A, straightened his clothes, and went out with the appearance of a personable son.

All the way to Shang Shu's office study, the entire criminal department was discussing the murder of King Shen, and everyone was gloomy, which was obviously a thankless errand.

If it is done well, there will be no reward from above, after all, this case is about royal face, and it is too late to cover it, and it will definitely not be praised.

If it doesn't do well, it's even more finished, a prince died in a private house in the west of the capital, involving so many ugly reputations, flower thieves, raping women, and being caught raped......

If the results of this murder case are not satisfactory to the superiors, the year-end performance reward of the Criminal Department is afraid that it will be collectively failed.

When Su Zhao saw his father, he saw the old man's distressed face, and after thinking about it, he took out five taels of silver and handed it over.

"Where did it come from? Didn't you give your mother every month's salary? ”

Su Shangshu's monthly salary has been confiscated by his wife for so many years, of course, he can't see that his son can spend the money he earns openly every month, so he encouraged Mrs. Su early to collect Su Zhao's salary on the grounds of preparing for marriage.

Of course, there are blessings and hardships between father and son, there is no reason to be a father is not free, but when a son is chic and happy, now he sees the huge sum of five taels of silver, Su Shangshu was stunned.

"Someone started to bet on whether King Shen's murder case would be thrown to the Criminal Department, I won the bet, divided some with my father, and talked about filial piety."

"How much did you bet? How much did you win? ”

"My son has one tael in hand, and he won ten taels."

"Such high odds?! Why didn't you say it earlier! Did you know that you would make a lot of money by betting on him for your father?! ”

Su Zhao looked at Su Shangshu's excited face, shook the pendant slightly, and stroked the tassel.

"It turns out that my father still hid his private money, so I'll keep the five taels myself."

"Don't don't, don't be, my father is not thinking, secretly save a little tea money, maybe when will I be able to save money for a dish in Ruyi Building, at that time for my father to take you to eat, how about it?"

Su Zhao looked at Su Shangshu's appearance of quickly stuffing five taels of silver into the placket of his clothes, and after thinking about it, he still didn't tell him that he would go to Ruyi Building to eat at a discount, otherwise he would definitely not be free sooner or later.

Su Shangshu touched the five taels of silver, his mood was a little better, he glanced up and down at Su Zhao, and nodded at him.

"You come with me to King Shen's Mansion."

"Yes."

Su Zhao's original intention of coming here was to hope to follow him to handle the case, increase his experience, and his father is still very capable in his business, since he has decided to inherit his father's business, then he must learn it quickly, so as to give his future wife a reliable and powerful shoulder.

I don't know if I don't hold office, it turns out that Xiaojingguan is so poor, and he can't even afford to eat a bowl of Luohan noodles in Ruyilou every month, and he has settled the accounts of Tong Manji several times, which is too embarrassing.

The criminal department sent several groups of people to investigate the case everywhere to find clues, and Su Shangshu and a few people went straight to King Shen's mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the Shen Palace, he saw that the entire palace did not see the slightest chaos, and even the eyes of the subordinates did not have much sadness.

Princess Shen woke up, but she brackezed her body to get up to reply, and Su Shangshu, who learned the situation, hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the main courtyard in person.

Separated by a screen, the door is open, and it can be regarded as a complete ceremony for men and women.

Su Shangshu sat down, Su Zhao stood behind him, and the two looked at the blurred figure behind the screen together.

"Weichen acted according to the order, and the question may involve the princess's privacy, but for the sake of the prince, I hope the princess will tell the truth."

"Lord Su is too modest, the prince died suddenly, the concubine's body is already weak, and she fainted after her emotional ups and downs, so you can ask whatever you want."

"I don't know where you were when the prince had an accident? Can there be witnesses? ”

"The concubine has been unwell these days, and she has been resting in the house today, accompanied by red sandalwood, and all the people in the courtyard can prove that the concubine has never gone out."

"When the prince had an accident, there was also a young man who hanged himself in a house near the tofu Shih Tzu's house, this is the portrait of that man, and I asked the princess to see it, can you recognize it?"

Su Zhao handed the portrait to Zi Zhan, frowned slightly after looking at her hand, and then watched her take the portrait in.

"This person is the prince's staff, it is not common to be a foreign man, he lives in the courtyard in the southeast corner of the palace, the adults can send someone to check one or two in his courtyard, and the concubine knows a lot."

"Weichen is disturbed, so I will leave, please take a good rest for the princess."

Su Zhao followed the body and left, and looked at the red sandalwood again before leaving.
