After the trial was over, Pu Congxi repaired a letter and sent someone to send it to Taishou Mansion immediately. and hinted that Taishou had a noble person in Yunzhou City, and this case was instructed by the nobleman, so that Taishou would come over in person.

The speed on the Taishou Mansion side was also very fast, and after the Taishou received the letter, he immediately arranged for someone to set off. After resting in the post house for one night, I arrived at Yunzhou City on the morning of the second day and went to the state capital Yamen.

Pu Congxi received Taishou Shen Zhongkai and told him about this matter in detail.

Shen Zhongkai learned about the case, the human and material evidence were there, and Zhong Bingkun also pleaded guilty, Shen Zhongkai felt that the case could be decided.

Subsequently, Shen Zhongkai asked Pu Congxi again, who is the noble person he is talking about?

Pu Congxi only smiled and said, "When Lord Taishou sees it, he will know." ”

Subsequently, Pu Congxi and Shen Zhongkai took their entourage to Zhongji Inn.

Zhongji Inn still didn't open today, and after Pu Congxi came, he ordered the men to open the door.

Since it was the state and county lord who came, the guy didn't dare not open the door.

In advance, Pu Congxi had already inquired, and because of the rain today, Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi did not go out. However, Pu Congxi still asked pretendedly.

"Young Master Rui and Miss Zhong are in the inn?" Pu Congxi said.

The guy hurriedly replied: "Go back to your lordship, your guest is upstairs!" ”

Pu Congxi motioned for the guy to lead the way, because he didn't know if Xiao Yulin was in his house or in Zhong Yuqi's house.

Coming to the second floor, the guy led Pu Congxi and Shen Zhongkai to the door of Xiao Yulin's house.

The guy just wanted to open the door and go in, but Pu Congxi hurriedly stopped the guy and waved him back.

Pu Congxi knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me, is Young Master Rui inside?" ”

Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi were discussing relevant matters in the house, and they were not surprised by Pu Congxi's arrival.

Ma Liu said outside: "Childe is here." Is there something you can do? ”

Pu Congxi said: "Lord Taishou Shen Zhongkai Shen is here. ”

After a while, Ma Liu said, "Come in!" ”

Pu Congxi saw that no one opened the door inside, so he opened a door and asked Shen Zhongkai to enter.

Then, Pu Congxi followed in, closed the door reflexively, and then walked to the inner room with Shen Zhongkai.

Shen Zhongkai was still wondering in his heart, what kind of person was he, so that he, the Taishou, had to ask the people inside?

When Shen Zhongkai saw Xiao Yulin, he was surprised at first, and then hurriedly bowed to Xiao Yulin and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Rui!" ”

Shen Zhongkai is over half a hundred years old, and he has seen a lot of people, so he naturally knows the most favored Prince Rui of the dynasty.

Pu Congxi was also not sure whether Shen Zhongkai knew Xiao Yulin, so he didn't tell Shen Zhongkai in advance. Now that you're in this situation, it's clear at a glance.

Pu Congxi also followed up and made a gesture to Xiao Yulin.

Xiao Yulin said lightly: "Let's be exempt!" ”

"Lord Xie Rui!"

Xiao Yulin said: "Shen Taishou came to this king, but what is the matter? ”

Shen Zhongkai glanced at Zhong Yuqi, and suddenly his mouth suddenly opened.

It's no wonder that Pu Congxi will retry the case of Zhong Bingliang ten years ago, saying that it means that he is a nobleman, isn't it self-evident?

Shen Zhongkai said: "Xiaguan heard that Prince Rui traveled to Xiaguan's territory, so he came to visit. ”

Xiao Yulin glanced at Pu Congxi with some displeasure.

Shen Zhongkai said: "Oh! Master Pu did not explain to the lower officials before, saying that Lord Rui was here. It was the lower officials who figured it out without authorization, and it was expected that the prince of Rui was here. ”

Xiao Yulin said: "This king is just here to play, and by the way, he will deal with some things. Shen Taishou is busy with official duties, so he doesn't have to think about it. ”

Shen Zhongkai said: "Lord Qirui, about Zhong Bingliang's case, I don't know what the prince has to say? ”

Xiao Yulin sneered and said, "Heh! This king is not an official of the court, what did you ask this king to do? ”

Shen Zhongkai smiled wryly and said, "Xia Guan knows that this matter has something to do with Prince Rui, so he asked what Prince Rui meant." If Lord Rui has no special instructions, the lower officials will deal with it according to law. ”

Xiao Yulin said: "Huh? What do you mean by that? If you decide the case, you will decide the case, what did you do by involving this king? If this matter reaches the ears of the imperial brother, I am afraid that the imperial brother will have to think about it more! ”

Shen Zhongkai hurriedly confessed: "Yes! Be! Be! It's the lower officials who are bothering Lord Rui. Xiaguan means that in addition to this murder, there are also things related to it, I don't know how Lord Rui wants to deal with it? For example, Mrs. Zhong's dowry. Also, does the Zhong family's property still have to be distinguished? ”

Xiao Yulin said: "Didn't you say that you want to do things according to the law? What the laws of the court stipulate, you can do as you do. ”

Shen Zhongkai only felt that the fine sweat on his forehead was like rain.

wanted to ask Xiao Yulin what he meant, but Xiao Yulin wanted to clear up the relationship. But if he disposed of it "privately", he was afraid of making Xiao Yulin unhappy.

Pu Congxi knew Shen Zhongkai's difficulties, so he said to Xiao Yulin: "Lord Qirui, Zhong Bingliang's case involves a wide range of things. If Prince Rui only tracked down the real murderer of the year, the case could have been closed. If Prince Kerui still wants to track down some details of the year, I'm afraid, I don't know how much time it will take. ”

Pu Congxi: "What Lord Shen means is that if Lord Rui is now focusing on murder, then this case can be closed now, and Lord Rui can do his own thing." For other things, our yamen will continue to investigate. If Lord Rui wants to find out about this case, I am afraid that it will delay Lord Rui's time. Therefore, Shen Dacai wants to ask Prince Rui to see what Prince Rui means. ”

Shen Zhongkai's eyes showed a glint of approval.

Xiao Yulin said: "Hmph! Ten years ago, when the case happened, there were a lot of doubts, and you didn't close the case like this? ”

Pu Congxi was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat behind his back, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back then, it was Zhong Bingkun who bought people, so that some clues were not known to outsiders, and the lower officials were also deceived by Zhong Bingkun. Now, with all the witnesses from that year and the definite physical evidence, the case can be reconcluded. ”

Xiao Yulin said in a weird manner: "Among them, does it also include you?" ”

Frightened, Pu Congxi immediately knelt down, and said again and again: "The lower officials don't dare!" The lower officials don't dare! ”

Xiao Yulin said: "Okay! With your ability to do things, forget it! As for the other clues, they can only be found by the king himself. ”

Shen Zhongkai and Pu Congxi hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's the incompetence of the lower officials!" ”

At this time, Zhong Yuqi spoke.

"The conditions of the government order are limited, and Yunzhou City is surrounded by mountains, which is not conducive to investigation. These secret things can't be found, and it's no wonder that he can't be blamed. Zhong Yuqi said.
