Chapter 64: The Great White
Everyone who got the truth couldn't help but become heavy.
"And who are you? And what role did it play in this incident? Shangguan Jin looked at the old man kneeling on the ground and asked.
"Me? I am an old slave in the house, the eldest lady is gone, the home is gone, the second lady treats me like family, how can I not help her? The old man's eyes were wet.
When the crowd heard this, the air became solemn.
"Take it down."
"Yes."
"What a thing!" Xia Hou sat on the chair, looking at the food on the table, unable to swallow a mouthful.
Shangguan Jin squinted his eyes and asked Xiahou: "This time, this matter is not so simple, we have investigated more strictly this time, but we didn't expect to find out such a tragic case!" ”
Xiahou also nodded and asked Shangguan Jin: "Then according to His Highness, this tragedy is closely related to the minister in the court?" ”
Shangguan Jin looked at Xiahou, and the two looked at each other and said, "Presumably Lord Xia also knows." ”
"The secretary of the military department, Li Yuancheng."
"Now the only thing I can think of is the military department Shangshu, he was an official of this lotus city before he came to Kyoto a few years ago!" Shangguan Jin closed his eyes slightly and said coldly.
"According to this, Li Yuancheng may also be just a prefect of Liancheng, why did he suddenly become the secretary of the military department?" Xia Hou touched the teacup and frowned.
"There must be someone behind him to support him, and this person only thinks about it."
"Why did Your Highness say this?"
"Above the court, Li Yuancheng often echoes it, and more than 10,000 people are afraid of Sima's heart, everyone knows it!"
"Since we are the people of the Great Prince, we are not qualified to investigate in detail, what should we do now?" Thinking of this, Xia Hou not only frowned deeply.
"You can't be in a hurry in advance, if you don't have the help of your Donglin Pavilion, I'm afraid that I can't complete the matter that I promised Shuangxue alone." Shangguan Jin frowned even more when he thought of this.
"What did Your Highness promise Shuangxue?" When Xia Hou heard Shangguan Jin's words, he asked deeply.
Shangguan Jin didn't speak, just poured a cup of tea for the two of them, motioned for Xiahou to sit down, and then said leisurely.
"When Shuangxue was taken down, he begged me to find out the truth about the murder of their family that year, and I agreed, and this matter is directly related to the military department, so I can't help but agree according to this article." Shangguan Jin said to Xia Hou with a little helplessness.
"Why did Your Highness say this?" Xia Hou looked at Shangguan Jin with some puzzlement.
"Pampered and arrogant, and unscrupulous when you get a little benefit, I'm afraid it's Li Yuancheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." Shangguan Jin didn't explain, but just said metaphorically.
Xia Hou nodded, indicating that he understood.
"I am naturally determined to assist His Highness, but with my own strength, if His Highness wants to let the people of Donglin Pavilion help, I am afraid that I will have to find the deputy pavilion master Luo Yun."
"You don't have to worry about where I'm going in this matter, the deputy pavilion master of Donglin Pavilion explained in detail." Shangguan Jin didn't do anything, just said lightly.
Xia Hou nodded, rested for a while, and the two of them set off in the Lin Pavilion.
Looking at Luo Yun, who was watering flowers and teasing birds on the side, Xiahou explained the matter one by one.
I saw Luo Yundouniao's hand stopped, looked at Shangguan Jin and said: "According to common sense, this matter was promised by His Royal Highness to Shuangxue, and our Donglin Pavilion has no obligation to investigate thoroughly, but His Highness just said that it is directly related to the Ministry of War, and this is our Donglin Pavilion and we can't help but accept it, Your Highness, it really makes me feel embarrassed!" ”
Shangguan Jin smiled and looked directly into Luo Yun's eyes and said, "Pavilion Master Luo is really joking, this matter is very important, please think about it." ”
Luo Yun didn't think about it, laughed twice and said: "Your Highness really likes to laugh, this matter has so much to do with the imperial court, we are all emperor's people, the emperor is worried about the imperial court, we are also worried about the imperial court, Your Highness is relieved to check it boldly, if it is useful to the place of Donglin Pavilion, just say it, Xiahou will always be by your side, and I should help you." ”
"Yes, Deputy Pavilion Master, I will do my best to assist His Highness in investigating this matter thoroughly." Xia Hou saluted Luo Yun and said briskly.
"I'm here to thank Pavilion Master Luo for that pair of snow." Shangguan Jin was obviously relieved and said politely to Luo Yun.
"Your Highness is serious, and the left and right are for the good of the people." Luo Yun replied politely, his eyes were so distant, but he still hadn't erased them.
"I won't bother Pavilion Master Luo, and I'll retire first." Shangguan Jin saw that Luo Yun, who had no intention of talking anymore, just waved his hand, and then proposed to leave.
"Your Highness, please, there are still some things in the cabinet that have not been completed, so I will send you off in the summer." Luo Yun only smiled sleekly, and did not propose to send Guan Jin in person.
Shangguan Jin just nodded and walked out.
"Your Highness, please don't blame, Lord Luo's temperament is like this, and he has no intention of offending." Xia Hou said to him as he walked out with Shangguan Jin.
"Of course I know."
Seeing Shangguan Jin say this, Xia Hou was relieved.
And here, Luo Yun looked at the birds in the cage, and couldn't help but look heavy.
"Lord Luo Ge, the relationship between this matter and the military department is still in a state of suspicion, if you don't want to help, you don't need to help." The subordinates on the side looked at the dignified Luo Yun and couldn't help but remind him.
Luo Yun didn't say anything, shook his head, and Qin Miaomiao's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind, and his face became more cautious.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh is a smart person, and he also sees things in the long run, although Xiahou is not stupid, but sometimes his vision is short-sighted, so he can hone and hone him with these Seven Highnesses." Luo Yun looked at him with appreciation, thinking of Shangguan Jin, the corners of his lips hooked and said with a smile.
By the time Shangguan Jin arrived at the inn, the sky had slowly darkened.
"Mu Yu, Qin Miaomiao, but have you woken up?" As soon as Shangguan Jin arrived at the inn, he hurriedly asked Mu Yu on the side.
Mu Yu frowned when he thought of Qin Miaomiao, who was lively on weekdays, and said to Shangguan Jin: "Back to Your Highness, I invited the best Lang Zhong in the city to come and see it some time ago. ”
"What did Lang Zhong say?" Shangguan Jin spoke eagerly, with some concern in his tone.
"Lang Zhong said that Miss Qin's back of the head was traumatized, and she had to wake up, maybe wait a little longer." Mu Yu looked at the eager Shangguan Jin and hurriedly said.
After listening to Mu Yu's words, Shangguan Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and instructed him: "You let the kitchen cook some white porridge, if she wakes up, don't let her drink it, she may feel dizzy if she is traumatized in her brain, let the slaves and maids guard the door, and don't let her walk around alone anymore." ”
Hearing Shangguan Jin's words, Mu Yu hurriedly bent down and replied, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the old slave will definitely make proper arrangements and will not let Miss Qin be injured again." ”
Shangguan Jin nodded, then turned around and walked towards the study.
Chapter 65
Shangguan Jin, who walked into the room, rubbed his eyebrows when he thought of Qin Miaomiao, who only had a headache.
I thought to myself, if I have time tomorrow, I must talk to Qin Miaomiao about it, teach her a good lesson, and don't let her run around alone again.
Just as he was thinking about this, Xiahou of Donglin Pavilion came.
"Your Highness, your subordinates seem to have checked a little bit about the things of the year."
Xiahou's words pulled Shangguan Jin's thoughts back.
"Let's hear about it." Shangguan Jin took a sip of tea and said lightly.
"Your Royal Highness, Donglin Pavilion is the emperor's control, so any big and small cases must be handled by the emperor himself, and today's matter must also be reported to the emperor, and after you leave, the civil official has already sent the matter back to Kyoto." Xiahou didn't answer the question, but just told Shangguan Jin about it first, and the emperor already knew.
"This is natural, my father should know about this." Shangguan Jin didn't feel anything, but said slightly.
"The subordinate went on to say, after the matter was reported to the emperor, the emperor was furious and ordered us to secretly investigate the matter, and now the emperor has come forward, the trivial matter of the year should be known clearly, clearly, we just need to wait a little longer, and the civil official will take the case of the year!" Xia Hou poured himself a cup of tea for himself, drank two big mouthfuls before he continued: "Presumably the emperor should have seen the case first before he was so angry, now that we have the emperor's support behind us, we have nothing to worry about the eldest prince's side, the emperor should really know that this matter is directly related to the military department!" ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Jin smiled: "Over the years, Li Yuanchen has become more and more a scoundrel, and he has not put the imperial power in his eyes at all, and his father must have put up with it for a long time, and this time is also a breakthrough, which can remove a major scourge for the imperial court." ”
After hearing this, Xiahou smiled slightly: "This matter can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, because Shuangxue knows the innocence of the family, and the second is to remove the big trouble for the emperor." ”
And in the palace here, the emperor listened to the people below say that this incident was directly related to the military department, and he became even more cautious and angry: "Li Yuancheng himself has no ability, and he is from the prefect's house, and his vision and posture are far lower than other ministers in the court. ”
Jiang Yusheng, the eunuch on the side, saw that the emperor was so angry, and hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor is angry, if you can take this opportunity to overturn the book of the military department, it will be in addition to the sorrow in the emperor's heart, this matter is both good and bad!" ”
The emperor listened to Jiang Yusheng's words, and then slowly calmed down.
"Jiang Yusheng, you send someone to investigate the matter of the year, and after the investigation is completed, immediately ask someone to send it to His Royal Highness the Seventh, so that he, together with the people of Donglin Pavilion, will secretly investigate this matter for me, and it will be clear and clear!" The emperor calmed down and commanded Jiang Yusheng on the side.
"It's the emperor, the slave maid is going, do you need someone from Donglin Pavilion here........." Jiang Yusheng didn't make his words clear, but just reminded the emperor.
"Someone immediately investigates!"
"Yes, slave and maid will go"
Donglin Pavilion is also the most powerful institution of the entire dynasty. In less than a cup of tea, Li Liancheng, the secretary of the military department, checked the bottom of the sky, and sure enough, he found some cats.
"The case of the emperor's panic is indeed related to the Ministry of Industry." Jiang Yusheng knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.
The emperor did not say anything. After a while, he said sadly: "Since this matter has some connection with him, I also guessed that this matter is not far from ten, and you let Lao Qi investigate it slowly." ”
"It's the slave maid, so hurry up and let people send the case of the matter to His Highness the Seventh."
"I heard that the son of Li Liancheng, who is still the secretary of the military department, had an accident?" The emperor was only stunned for a moment, and then thought of this matter shrewdly.
Jiang Yusheng has been by the emperor's side for decades, and when he saw the emperor, he also reflected this matter.
"Back to the emperor, this Li Gongzi has more than 20 years this year. There was no marriage contract, but the concubine and the conservatory filled the whole courtyard, and a few days ago for some reason suddenly lost her life. Jiang Yusheng said.
"Recall the military department Shangshu back to the palace, I will be in a bad mood when I see him lose his beloved son, I have some new soothing tea here, and I asked the military department Shangshu to come over and taste it with me!" The emperor's big sleeves waved at Jiang Yusheng and ordered.
"It's the emperor, the slave and maid will go to the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion to deliver the decree."
Looking at Jiang Yusheng in the distance, the emperor couldn't help but darken his eyes more and more.
The case is passed on non-stop. It only took half an hour to succeed in the case, and it was sent to Shangguan Jin's mansion.
Shangguan Jin looked at the case and couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
After reading it, he threw the case to Xiahou, who read the case strangely and carefully, and then felt like Shangguan Jin.
"This Li Liancheng is really not a person, it is true. As the Son wants the Father, so does it. He was only a teenager, and he had already learned to rob people's girls! Xia Hou slapped the case on the table hard and said angrily.
It turned out that Li Yu, who was only a teenager at the time, fell in love with Qiu'er, forcibly took it to no avail, and let Qiu'er's father beat him severely.
Li Liancheng saw that his beloved son was injured, and it was the time to clear the chaotic party, but he never thought of where he got the ability, and installed all Qiu'er's family in the name of the chaotic party, and Qiu'er's parents sent Qiu'er and Shuangxue out together at the time of hunting, one to the north and the other to the south.
"Just for personal vendetta, he actually harmed the whole family!" Xiahou said indignantly.
"At this time, we only have this case, but there is no conclusive evidence, don't rush it first, this matter has to be investigated slowly, my father's side will definitely appease Li Liancheng, all we have to do is not to disappoint my father!" Shangguan Jin raised his head, leaned back in his chair, and said slightly.
Xia Hou nodded, and there was a lot of helplessness.........
"The military department is still here-"
"See the emperor for humble duties, and the emperor will be blessed with Jin'an." Li Liancheng looked at the emperor who was high above and knelt down and said.
The emperor looked at Li Liancheng who was kneeling on the ground, a trace of murderous aura spread in his eyes, but he quickly hid it, and said to Jiang Yusheng on the side: "Quickly help Li Aiqing up and bring me the tea I have prepared to calm the nerves." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid of my humble position." Li Liancheng didn't know, so he didn't dare to say anything easily.
"Li Aiqing don't have to be nervous, I am very sad to hear that your beloved son died in an accident, so I specially took a look at you, lest you have any accidents."
"The emperor loves a lot, and the dog died. The humble position is really uneasy in my heart. ”
"Li Aiqing, this tea is a tribute from the Western Regions to taste." The emperor handed the tea to Li Liancheng.
"Humble purpose."
When the moonlight rose, Li Liancheng left the palace. The dew has been cultivated, and late night is coming.
