Chapter 37: She's a Princess
"Would you like to go with me for a change of clothes?"
The clothes were stained with blood, which was really unsightly.
"Hmm."
As the party that hurt people, Jiang Chuge couldn't refuse Qin Ying's request.
Her readily agreed, but the words that Qin Ying had prepared were useless.
Fortunately, the goal was achieved, and he was not entangled, took her hand, walked through the passage to the right of the main seat in the hall, and headed towards Jin Xinju, who was located in the backyard of the palace.
The guilt in her heart made Jiang Chuge acquiesce to Qin Ying's behavior of holding her hand.
But I don't know that once a woman compromises in front of a man who likes her, it will be the beginning of land reparations.
Holding her Rouyi, Qin Ying's heart was comfortable, and she couldn't help but slow down her pace, the speed was almost like an ant crawling.
"Lord Yi, can you go faster?"
After realizing that it took half a stick of incense and the distance between the two of them was less than fifty zhang, Jiang Chuge couldn't help it.
After changing her clothes, she had to discuss with him about sending someone to protect Liu Hu.
He wasted time like this, if Lin Han really had a problem, Lou Song and the others would definitely send a killer tonight, and maybe Liu Hu would die if it was too late.
In addition, it is not safe for Little Moon to be alone at home at night.
Seeing that the little woman couldn't bear it anymore, Qin Ying stopped her steps and looked at her sideways: "If you are worried that Yan Wanrong is not safe at home alone at night, I have ordered the housekeeper to arrange for the guards to go to protect her." ”
"The prince misunderstood, I should be responsible for the safety of the little moon, how can I bother the prince? Jiang Chuge came here today, but it was actually a case in the Criminal Division, and the prince needed to send a few subordinates to help. ”
"How many men are you going to have?"
"If there are not many fines, three masters will do."
Seeing that Qin Ying had no intention of refusing, Jiang Chuge was overjoyed, and raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers at him, which was quite cute.
Qin Ying hooked her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to stroke the top of her hair dotingly, and spit out the word "good".
Then, with his right hand outstretched, he snapped his fingers.
In the next moment, three tall men shrouded in black night clothes, revealing only two eyes, appeared in front of them silently.
Jiang Chuge, who saw the way the secret guard appeared for the first time, was secretly shocked in his heart.
"Chu'er, I've already done it for you, it's time for you to treat this king now, right?"
Qin Ying stretched out his long arm, grabbed Jiang Chuge's slender waist, and slammed her into his arms domineeringly, and before she could react, the other hand stretched out, the thumb and index finger cooperated, pinched her chin lightly, and with a slight force, forced her to raise her head and look at him.
Suddenly facing the pair of bottomless black deep eyes, Jiang Chuge's heartbeat couldn't help but be disordered.
And the too close distance and ambiguous movements made her face even more red.
"Lord Yi, this is unreasonable, you let go quickly."
She found that Qin Ying had become more and more fond of doing things to her recently.
"Oh? Chu'er is reminding this king that if he wants to be as close to you as he is now, he must accept you as a concubine as soon as possible. In this way, it is reasonable to agree, and Chu'er will not refuse this king again? ”
Qin Ying deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of Jiang Chuge's words, but he still said it so well that it was difficult to refute.
"I didn't mean that, you let me go."
Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Jiang Chuge tried to struggle, but he couldn't break free, his heart was flustered, and his eyes quickly became covered with a layer of mist, as if he would cry at any time.
Seeing her like this, Qin Ying hurriedly let go of her hand and took a step back.
"I'm kidding you, don't cry. If you don't want to marry me, I won't force you. ”
The premise is that you can't be with other men.
"Hmm."
Jiang Chuge lowered his head, squeaked aggrievedly, wiped the tears that he was desperately squeezing out, and a touch of cunning flashed in his clear and thorough eyes.
I don't know that what women are best at is acting and pretending to be pitiful?
Fight with this girl, Qin Ying, you are still a little tender!
Jiang Chuge raised his head and looked at Qin Ying, looking like he had just recovered from his fright: "Lord Yi, my matter here has been completed, it's time to go back and retire." ”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Chuge bent down slightly, and wanted to leave, but Qin Ying raised her long arm and cut off her way.
Jiang Chuge secretly grinded his teeth and looked up at him, his watery eyes full of grievances and accusations.
Seeing that she looked like she had been bullied, Qin Ying's heart moved, her Adam's apple involuntarily slid up and down, swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and said: "The prince let me enter the palace to convey my father's will, and the officials reported by Liu Hu were corrupt and bribed, and ...... In the case of the death of a number of women caused by indulgence, the Criminal Investigation Division presided over the trial, and the Criminal Department co-ordinated. ”
In front of Jiang Chuge, Qin Ying couldn't say such a dirty word as "silver chaos", and after pondering it, he found an appropriate word.
Because of Qin Ying's words, Jiang Chuge had no choice but to follow him to Jinxinju.
When he changed his clothes, Jiang Chuge was about to propose to go to the main hall to discuss the matter, but Qin Ying called the maidservants Liuyun and Qinglan, and ordered the two to go to pass the meal to Yu Jin's heart.
Jiang Chuge knew that she couldn't resist Qin Ying, if she repeated her old tricks like Fang Cai, it was very likely to be exposed, once Qin Ying knew that she was fake crying, it would only be her who suffered.
After some consideration, Jiang Chuge acquiesced to Qin Ying's behavior.
The stone bench in the courtyard of Jinxin's residence is covered with soft cushions, and it will not be cold because of the arrival of winter.
Jiang Chuge and Qin Ying sat on it, although there were only two of them, but because there was an octagonal stone round table in the middle, Jiang Chuge felt quite secure.
Although it is important to cultivate feelings, it is the case of the Criminal Division that is the most important at the moment.
Qin Ying didn't have any more behavior, his dark eyes looked straight at Jiang Chuge, and went straight to the point: "When you were in the East Palace, the prince said that you had reported to your father and the emperor, and the trial of the case reported by Liu Hu was about to begin. ”
Talking about business, Jiang Chuge sat up slightly, suppressed his slightly chaotic mind, and said after sorting out his thoughts in his mind a little: "At present, the evidence I have is enough to convict Lou Song and others of the crime of corruption, but in the case of the innocent woman's wrongful death, due to the long interval, there are slight loopholes in the connection between the evidence, and it is no longer possible to supplement the evidence. In order to prevent some of them from exonerating themselves from being convicted or being wronged, I decided to use a special method to interrogate them, and let them themselves take the initiative to confess whether they had harmed others and who they had harmed. ”
"Unsolicited confession?"
Qin Yingjian frowned slightly, the laws of the Eastern Qing Dynasty were strict, especially for officials, and once they violated the law, they would be punished by one degree.
The crimes committed by Lou Song and others, once they confess, they will definitely die, and even cause disaster to their families, until the end, how can they take the initiative to confess?
Qin Ying became extremely interested in Jiang Chuge's next words.
Xu didn't need his help at all to get the case right, and the prince's and his worries were superfluous.
"Yes, it's the initiative to confess!"
Jiang Chuge was full of confidence: "I have already laid the line, if Liu Hu is not assassinated tonight, I will release the news tomorrow, and the evidence currently in the possession of the Criminal Investigation Department is matched with Liu Hu's confession, and the crime of the officials involved in the case can be convicted of death......."
The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and they can also be used in the trial of cases.
This is the experience that Jiang Chuge summed up as a forensic doctor to assist the police in solving cases and fighting criminals for a long time.
"After the news is released, I will first arrest the city government according to the personalities and handling styles of Lou Song, Yan Jun, Han Xiao, and Gu Yihua that the internal servants heard, and let the rest of the people mess with themselves, they will definitely choose to assassinate Liu Hu in order to get out, or me, but in order to do it once and for all, Liu Hu should be their first target......"
At this point, Jiang Chuge found that Qin Ying's face was slightly gloomy, thinking that he had something to say, so she couldn't help but pause, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see him speak, so she continued: "No matter if you break into the prison and assassinate Liu Hu on that day at this moment, Liu Hu will fake his death after being assassinated, and the case will continue to be tried." At that time, I will send someone to arrest all the officials involved in the case, stun them in a way that they are not aware of, and then disguise the hall of the Criminal Division as the Yama Palace, and the fake Yama will judge them. ”
After Jiang Chuge finished speaking, he still saw Qin Ying's calm face, as if his eyes were locked on her, without a moment's shift.
Jiang Chuge felt uncomfortable at the same time, and secretly said in his heart, didn't Qin Ying feel that in the trial of the case, it was impossible to use such a strategy?
"Lord Wang, but is there something wrong?"
She tentatively spoke.
She will temporarily send Yan Wanrong back to the Qi Palace's Mansion early in the morning, as for her, the truth is so big, she can find a place to hide, it will be enough for those killers to turn over all night.
It's really not good, she hid in the Qi Palace's mansion under the cover of Yan Wanrong.
Listening to Jiang Chuge's words, Qin Ying bowed slightly.
There is a ghost in the dark, he is not worried about Jiang Chuge's safety, as long as this stupid woman takes into account her own safety, he is satisfied.
After thinking for a moment in his heart, Qin Ying opened his mouth and asked, "Your strategy should be based on the fact that Lou Song and others once sent killers to assassinate Liu Hu, yes or no?" ”
"Yes."
Jiang Chuge nodded, this is not something that cannot be admitted.
Qin Ying sighed in his heart and said slowly: "Actually, the group of assassins who assassinated Liu Hu before were done by King Lin, and Liu Hu was able to escape that day because I installed me in the prison of the Punishment Division in advance. Because I don't want you to get involved in the dispute between the courts, I have not told you about it. ”
However, in the end, it was inevitable that she would be dragged into this troubled water.
"What?"
Jiang Chuge almost slapped the table uncontrollably, she clenched her fists and forced herself to squeeze out a smirk: "Such a big matter, and it is related to the case, Lord Wang, it seems that you shouldn't hide it from Jiang Chuge, right?" ”
Facing Jiang Chuge's tone that was almost gritting her teeth, Qin Ying was slightly surprised in her heart, but she didn't have any displeasure, but felt that her sullen appearance that dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak was quite cute.
"Ahem~"
Deeply realizing that this kind of thinking was very bad and bad, Qin Ying lowered his eyelids slightly, suppressed the smile in his eyes, covered his nose with his hand, coughed lightly, and changed the topic: "It is a good way for you to test whether there is an internal response in the Criminal Division, and to use people's fear of ghosts and gods after committing evil things to try the case." However, with King Lin in charge, even if you arrest the most treacherous person among Lou Song's people, it is useless. ”
Qin Ying sighed lightly and said, "Everything depends on how to plan tonight, if there is nothing to do tonight, I will find a way to contain King Lin and give you time to implement your plan." ”
“…… Well. ”
Jiang Chuge was silent for a long time and nodded.
For now, that's all it can be.
Now that she has been involved, Qin Ying felt that it was necessary for her to grasp more basic information, so she sorted out the wording in her mind and said, "At present, the court is roughly divided into three factions, the crown prince, the king of Lin, and a third party who remains neutral......"
The Prince is in charge of the Privy Council and assists in the Ministry of War.
Qin Ying is in charge of the Criminal Department, and has positions in both the Military Department and the Privy Council, and is friendly with the prince.
The Ministry of Officials is controlled by the emperor himself, the Ministry of Rites is neutral, and Lou Songming of the Ministry of Works is the person who is the prince, but in fact he has secretly defected to King Lin.
In this way, King Lin only has a household department in his hands, and a ministry that secretly takes refuge in him.
And most of the military power is in the hands of the prince and King Yi, and the troops in the hands of King Lin are only the 10,000 forbidden troops in the hands of Han Xiao, the commander of the forbidden army who secretly rebelled against the water, and the 5,000 soldiers of the patrol battalion.
Compared with the two, the advantages and disadvantages are immediately apparent.
However, because the forbidden army guards the safety of the palace city, and there is a patrol camp in the inner side of the city, the two military powers in the hands of King Lin should not be underestimated.
“…… Therefore, the crown prince meant to take this opportunity to take back the military power in Han Xiao's hands. ”
