Chen Jianxing glanced at Chen Dedi again, and when he saw that her face was not good, he thought about going back quickly and letting Hu Peihong enter the palace to accompany her, even if it was just to accompany her and watch her sleep.

It's just that as soon as he walked out of the dormitory, before he had time to walk to the gate of Shoude Palace, the eunuch guarding the door hurriedly came to report that Nie Bei was coming.

Nie Bei?

Chen Jianxing was stunned.

Chen Dedi was also stunned for a moment, but soon Chen Dedi reined in all the negative emotions on her face, she knew what Nie Bei was doing, she came here last night, and was blocked by her on the grounds of eating, and now she came so early, she couldn't block it if she wanted to.

Yin Xuan went to the court, everything must be very detailed, and occasionally dragged the court discussion to the point of eating, but Nie Bei just listened to some major events every day and collected some excerpts, and he couldn't delay much time.

Even if he stops, he will come at noon and in the afternoon.

If you can stop it for a while, you can't stop it for two hours, and the things you have to face will still have to be faced after all.

Chen Dedi took a sip of tea from the teacup and said to the eunuch, "Let Master Nie come in." ”

The eunuch immediately went to the door to deliver a message, and opened the door to let Nie Bei in.

Nie Bei took Bo Lu, Li Donglou and the forbidden army into the gate of Shoude Palace, and walked to the door of the dormitory, only to find that Chen Jianxing was also there.

Nie Bei raised his eyebrows.

Chen Jianxing was originally leaving, but as soon as he heard that Nie Bei was coming, Chen Jianxing thought that Nie Bei was coming, and he was coming for the spices, so he was not at ease, so he wanted to sit down and listen, so he turned around and went back to the house.

Originally, he was sitting, but now that he saw Nie Bei, he stood up and saluted Nie Bei.

Behind Nie Bei's hands, he smiled and took his hand salute, and when Chen Jianxing lowered his hand, Nie Bei asked, "Why is Lord Chen in Shoude Palace?" ”

Chen Jianxing said: "I heard that the harem was haunted last night, so I came to see the queen." ”

Nie Bei nodded, and the meaning of what he said was unclear: "I really have to come and see it." ”

After Nie Bei finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Dedi, he didn't salute Chen Dedi, if he didn't act as an agent, Nie Bei probably had to bow a little, after all, Chen Dedi is the queen, but he is now acting as the government and exercising the powers of the emperor, so Chen Dedi has to come forward to bow when he sees him.

Nie Bei stood there and watched Chen Dedi nod to him, a little perfunctory, but Nie Bei didn't care.

Nie Bei didn't have time to talk to the people of the Chen family, he said bluntly: "I came to find the queen today, because there is something that the queen needs to cooperate with the investigation. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Dedi to answer, he looked at Chen Jianxing on the side again, and his tone was tepid: "My criminal department wants to judge the case, does Lord Chen want to listen?" ”

Chen Jianxing's purpose of staying was to observe, but when Nie Bei asked him like this, he seemed to be a little lacking in confidence, but he was unwilling to leave like this.

Chen Jianxing lifted his eyelids and said without changing his face: "I don't understand what Lord Nie asked, the Criminal Department of the Great Yin Empire didn't say that it couldn't be made public, no matter whose case it was, and it didn't say that it couldn't be heard by others, just your Criminal Department did it by itself behind closed doors, although I am not talented, I am also a second-grade commander, and I should be qualified to observe the process of your Criminal Department's case-handling, right?" Or, when your criminal department handles the case, do you really handle it yourself behind closed doors? ”

Nie Bei can not listen to anything else, but the words 'the Criminal Department closes the door and does its own thing' can't be regarded as not hearing, such a big charge is deducted, Rao is Nie Bei, and his face can't help but turn cold.

Different words are put on different people, and there are different meanings, if others say this, Nie Bei will not think much about it, but if these words are put out of Chen Jianxing's mouth, Nie Bei can't think about it anymore.

Nie Bei's case now is related to the entire Chen Mansion, and it will also be punished together with the Yanxia Palace.

This is not a small case, it can be said that if this case comes out, a corner of the court will collapse, and a corner of the harem will also collapse, Chen Jianxing probably knows it, so he used such a sentence to scold him.

Close the door to check yourself, that is to say, whether you are guilty or not, it is all up to the Criminal Department to have the final say, the Criminal Department will convict whoever it wants, and exonerate whoever it wants, thinking of the situation at this time, the Nie family and the Chen family have already made it clear, Nie Bei is not the acting government, but also in charge of the Criminal Department, that sentence seems to mean that Nie Bei covers the sky with one hand, takes the Chen Mansion to open the knife, and treats the crime of the Chen Mansion.

Nie Bei pursed his thin lips coldly, a sneer on his lips, and said without any emotion: "Lord Chen wants to observe, just observe, the Criminal Department has always paid attention to evidence in judging cases, and it is clear and clear, not to wronged good people, and it is not bad to let bad people go, guilty or not guilty, all the evidence is decided, there is nothing that cannot be heard." ”

Chen Jianxing listened to this, with a sarcastic sneer in his eyes, thinking about whether your criminal department relied on evidence to decide the case? It's not all up to your personal will, Chen Wen's incident has just passed, and you are here to be inconsistent and want to cover up.

Chen Jianxing snorted coldly and said no more.

Nie Bei didn't pay attention to him, just picked a chair and sat there waiting for Huatu.

Li Donglou stood on Nie Bei's side with his sword, Bo Lu stood behind Nie Bei with his sword, and the forbidden troops were all in full battle and stood at the door of the dormitory.

Huatu came quickly, he ran to the yamen of the criminal department, took the confession book and the painting pen and ran without delay, entered the house, and saw so many people, he was stunned at first, and then slowly stepped forward to salute.

Huatu is the secretary of the criminal department, the official residence is the second grade, Chen Jianxing is the second rank of the Maha Maha of the second grade, and the official residence is the second grade, although Huatu is a new official, but he also holds real power, he only bowed to Chen Jianxing, and then gave Chen Dedi a false salute, and then walked to Nie Bei and told him that everything was brought.

Nie Bei nodded and pointed to a chair next to him for Hua Tu to sit.

Huatu sat down.

Nie Bei stretched out his hand and took out the purse in his sleeve pocket, handed it to Li Donglou, and then asked Li Donglou to show it to Chen Dedi, and when Li Donglou took the purse and handed it to Chen Dedi, Nie Bei said: "This purse was given to the emperor by Concubine Ming, the purse is fine, but the incense in the purse is very problematic, the emperor gave me this purse before leaving, when the emperor called Wang Yuzhou, and also asked Wang Yuzhou to identify the incense in the purse, Wang Yuzhou said that this incense and the medicine for the arrow wound drunk by Concubine Wan will conflict, and after a long time, it can be fatal, At that time, the two imperial doctors who took care of Concubine Wan were Xian Bi and Zhu Yinan, and the current hospital is Dou Fuze, so I passed on these three people and asked them to identify whether this incense really caused Concubine Wan Guifei to die, and finally these three people gave a consistent answer. ”

When he said this, he motioned for Huatu to take out the confessions of Xian Bi, Zhu Yinan and Dou Fuze yesterday and show them to Chen Dedi.

Hua Tu stood up and handed the confession book to Chen Dedi.

When Chen Dedi took over to see it, Nie Bei said again: "The purse was given to the emperor by Concubine Ming, so I also passed on Concubine Ming's question, and Concubine Ming said that this incense was given to her by the queen." ”

As he spoke, he asked Huatu to take out the confession book that Tuoba Mingyan painted yesterday and show it to Chen Dedi.

Chen Dedi read them one by one, first looked at the purse, and then smelled the incense, whether the purse was sewn by Tuoba Mingyan, I don't know, but this incense is indeed the three kinds she gave Tuoba Mingyan, and everyone's confession in the confession book is recorded in detail, and each place has his own signature and drawing, which seems to be conclusive and irrefutable.

Chen Dedi's face sank, threw the purse to Li Donglou, and then threw the two confession books to Huatu, she raised her head and looked at Nie Bei, her voice was steady and heavy, not slow: "She said that this incense was given to her by me, is it me who gave her?" Who in this palace doesn't know that Concubine Ming is the best at making incense, and the most talked-about thing about the Tuoba clan is this superb incense research technique, I live in the palace, I don't go out, I don't touch those incense, how to get these several kinds of incense to her? There are indeed a lot of incense in my palace, but all the incense I use is recorded in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one stroke at a time, the way is clear, but the incense used in the Yanxia Palace, most of them are made by themselves, what incense she made, who knows. ”

Hua Tu glanced at Chen Dedi, retreated into her chair, and began to register her confession.

Nie Bei glanced at Huatu, then raised his head lightly, looked at Chen Dedi, and said in a businesslike tone: "Concubine Ming said that this incense was given to her by the queen, and the queen said that this incense was made by Concubine Ming herself, who does this incense come from, I can't judge it in vain, then search the palace, I have always been unsympathetic, only talk about evidence, and whoever the evidence points to, I will judge whom." ”

As soon as the word 'search palace' came out, Chen Dedi's face turned cold immediately, not to mention whether there were these kinds of incense in her palace, even if there was, even if there was not, she couldn't let him search her palace.

Her Feng Palace was searched, where did her queen's face go when this was reported?

Chen Dedi sneered: "Although Lord Nie is acting as the government, it is not that you can search my Shoude Palace if you want to, this Feng Palace of the Great Yin Empire has never been searched by a foreign minister!" ”

Chen Jianxing also said coldly on the side: "If you want to search the queen's Feng Palace, you have to have the emperor's decree, although Lord Nie is to handle the case, and now he is also acting as the government, but you don't have the right to do this, searching the Feng Palace is not a trivial matter, unless there is the emperor's decree, otherwise, if you don't say that the queen doesn't follow, even my Chen Mansion won't follow!" ”

Moving the Chen Mansion out is equivalent to directly sublimating the contradiction.

Nie Bei sneered, thinking that it would be good if it was sublimated, I am here to pinch your Chen Mansion this time, and the spices are hidden in Chen Dedi's private box, how can you let your true form be revealed without searching the palace, and you have nothing to say? How can you give the world a true truth without searching the palace, and how can you convince the courtiers?

The palace must be searched, but now that it is searched, it may really be necessary to meet each other.

Yin Xuan is not there, he is only temporarily acting for the government, and on the first day of acting for the government, Chen Hai fell down the steps in front of the Jinluan Palace, and is still unconscious.

Although Yin Xuan asked Li Donglou to lead the forbidden army to assist him in investigating the case before leaving, and also gave Li Donglou all privileges, all those who obstructed the investigation of the case would be killed, but this was Yin Xuan's treacherous plan.

Yin Xuan knew very well that this incense came from the Chen Mansion, and if he wanted to investigate this matter, he would definitely be blocked by the Chen Mansion, and then confront the Chen Mansion, the contradiction escalated, and he also knew that the more the case was investigated to the end, the greater the obstruction of the Chen Mansion would be, so he gave Li Donglou the right to kill, but this right to kill seemed to be helping him, but in fact, it was trapping him in criticism, trapping Nie Mansion in criticism, even though everyone knew that he was investigating the case, but as others could see, the case was false, and it was true to take this opportunity to take revenge on the Chen family, and his Nie family's century-old reputation could not be destroyed today.

If he really let Li Donglou behead Chen Jianxing on the spot, then he would probably really fall for Yin Xuan's tricks.

Yin Xuan, a stinky boy with a vicious mind, is definitely not so kind, it is strange that he doesn't use this matter to make the Chen family and the Nie family cramp and peel their skins.

Nie Bei won't fall for Yin Xuan's tricks, anyway, Naxiang is in Chen Dedi's palace, check it early and check it late, it's okay.

Nie Beidao: "If you want Yi Zhi, then let people ask Yi Zhi, before Yi Zhi comes back, I will go to check the spice entry and exit records of the Internal Affairs Office, and I will also check the entry and exit records of spices in each incense shop in Huaicheng, the imperial capital, as well as the entry and exit records of all items on the side of the Palace Defense Bureau, of course I don't want this matter to be related to the queen, but since Ming Guifei has identified you, I can't treat it as if I didn't hear it, but anyone who is suspicious, I will go to investigate, and I will search it first in Yanxia Palace, I hope it is really as the queen said, the incense is made by Ming Guifei herself." , and not what you give. ”

After Nie Bei finished speaking, he stood up and asked Huatu to take Chen Dedi's confession and let Chen Dedi draw a detainment.

Hua Tu complied, and put the confession book, the pen and the mud on the square table in Chen Dedi's hand.

Chen Dedi watched and didn't move.

Chen Jianxing sat and didn't move, only his eyes stopped on the thin confession book, and his face was extremely ugly.

Nie Beidao: "The queen draws a bet and signs it, since you feel that you have nothing to do with this matter, there is nothing you dare not sign." ”

Chen Dedi said indifferently: "What if I don't draw a charge? ”

Nie Bei stared at her: "That can only show that the queen is weak-hearted, and Concubine Ming signed and painted in one go." ”

Chen Dedi was choked for a while, and was silent for a long time, but still picked up the pen and mud, signed, and pressed the red handprint.

Chen Dedi thought that the incense was quietly brought into the palace by her mother, even if Nie Bei went to check the Internal Affairs Mansion, the Palace Defense Bureau, and the incense shop outside, then he couldn't find her body, even if Nie Bei had great powers, he could find out that this incense was bought by someone from the Chen Mansion outside, but he couldn't find out how the incense entered the palace, and there was no evidence to prove that the incense was sent to the palace by someone from the Chen family, so he didn't want to convict the Chen Mansion or convict her.

But the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, Chen Dedi doesn't know that Tuoba Mingyan is going to push her to death this time, so he has already developed the incense and put it in her palace, just waiting for the palace to be searched, and catch her to appear.

Nie Bei saw that Chen Dedi had drawn a charge, so he didn't stay any longer, and took the group away.

Waiting for them to leave, Chen Dedi's calm face collapsed suddenly, Chen Jianxing also angrily knocked the teacup in his hand to the ground, he turned his head to look at He Pinxiang, his eyes signaled He Pinxiang to close the door, and when He Pinxiang closed the door, Chen Jianxing said to Chen Dedi: "If Nie Bei returns to the Criminal Department, he will definitely start to send someone to Daming Township to ask Yi Zhi, as soon as Yi Zhi comes back, we can't stop him from searching the palace, so, before Yi Zhi comes back, kill him first, just check this matter here, he suspects you, The emperor must know it. ”

Chen Dedi said with some negative anger: "He can check if he wants, anyway, I am innocent." ”

Chen Jianxing glared at her coldly: "On the occasion of your last departure from the palace, you can't leave such a laughing stock, you can be generous, you can not be favored, but the dignity of the queen cannot be trampled on!" ”

Chen Dedi suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Chen Jianxing, but Chen Jianxing had already thrown off his official robe and left.

Chen Jianxing came out of Shoude Palace, and he was in a very bad mood, not only because Nie Bei said today that he had offended the queen's authority and slapped their Chen family's face in public, but also because he had been depressed everywhere during this time.

In fact, Chen Jianxing knew very well that the emperor went to the Daimyo Township, but he did not announce it to the courtiers, but sent Li Donglou to read the holy decree, and Li Donglou also led the forbidden army to accompany Nie Bei, who is Li Donglou? He is the one who serves the emperor closely, and the emperor left him by Nie Bei's side, undoubtedly putting the highest killing power by Nie Bei's side.

If Nie Bei is more serious today, Li Donglou will take him now, and he can only bear it.

If he resisted, would he take advantage of Nie Bei's heart, or rather, as the emperor wanted?

Chen Jianxing only felt sad for a while, and coldness jumped from the soles of his feet, thinking of the frustrating words that his daughter said just now, he suddenly felt that his daughter was actually very transparent, she saw very clearly, their Chen family had lost the emperor's protection, whether it was the favor of the family or her favor, as long as one party could stand on its feet, they didn't have to be like this.

In the past, the family was favored, and she felt that it didn't matter if she was favored or not, but now that the family has lost the emperor's favor, she wants to be favored herself, so as to support the family, but she can't be favored, so she says that.

Chen Jianxing was very bored in his heart, and thought that Nie Bei's investigation had already found Shoude Palace, and he had to search Shoude Palace, so he felt that Nie Bei really couldn't stay any longer, he had to go back quickly, inform Chen Yu, and let the killer act as soon as possible.

Chen Jianxing strode away and walked outside the palace gate, but unfortunately, he met Chen Jin who came back from Yanxia Hall to inquire about the news, Chen Jin went to Yanxia Hall to find Chen Wen, Chen Wen cut the Yanxia Palace all night, extremely tired and sleepy, as soon as dawn he found a roof to take a nap.

Originally, Chen Jin came to him, and it was only a matter of one or two sentences, and he would be able to go back soon, but Chen Wen squinted like this, and the people of the entire Yanxia Hall didn't know where he was.

It took a lot of effort to find him, so Chen Jin came out so late.

The brothers met unexpectedly, they were both stunned, and they quickly walked head-on and left the palace together.

Out of the palace, there was a carriage from Chen's Mansion waiting outside, and the two of them got into the carriage, and their faces were not very good.

Chen Jin is the eldest son, so he asked Chen Jianxing first, how is the queen, she was not frightened, Chen Jianxing replied that he didn't, but he mentioned that Nie Bei went to Shoude Palace in the morning to ask questions, and also said that Nie Bei wanted to search Shoude Palace, as soon as he said this, Chen Jin sank his face and said: "Nie Bei has to be killed!" ”

Chen Jianxing responded: "That's right. ”

After that, Chen Jianxing asked Chen Jin again, and asked Chen Wenchu what was going on, Chen Jin shook his head, but opened the conversation again, and said: "Wen Shu said that the soul of the Queen Mother not only went to Yanxia Hall last night, but also went the night before, according to this, I will probably go again tonight, as for Shoude Palace, it is hard to say, but tonight, let the second brother and sister enter the palace to accompany the queen, one more person, there will always be a little more steadfastness." ”

Chen Jianxing had this intention, and he planned to go back and let Hu Peihong enter the palace to accompany Chen Dedi, so after listening to Chen Jin's words, he nodded.

Then the brothers talked about the queen mother's ghost suddenly appeared in the harem, and when it came to the queen mother, both of them tacitly fell silent for a while, returned to the house, and told all these things to the people in the house, to Dou Yanxi, and then the people in the Chen mansion were silent without exception, what is the situation now? The emperor left the palace, the Chen Mansion evacuated, Nie Bei investigated the case, and one thing after another was closely entangled, but in this moment, the soul of the Queen Mother, who had not appeared for three years, came out, which always gave people a very creepy feeling, which made the people of the Chen Mansion faintly smell the causal cycle and the smell of retribution coming.

Dou Yanxi's face is no longer ugly, and there is a kind of forbearance fear spreading in her eyes, she is four years younger than Chen Hai, and she is sixty-two years old this year, put aside her age, put aside her identity, at the age of sixty-two, she has never seen any demons and monsters, and she has not experienced any strong winds and waves, but now, after hearing the queen mother's ghost suddenly appear in the harem, she is still terrified in her heart, and her face is terrified!

Dou Tingxi picked up her crutches and got up, sat on the edge of Chen Hai's bed, she didn't say anything, only waved her hand, and asked her sons to go down.

Seeing that their mother did not speak, the sons paused slightly, but still went out.

After going out, they looked at each other and walked away.

Chen Jianxing wanted to find Hu Peihong, so he went to the Chen family ancestral hall, Hu Peihong was still praying for Chen Hai in the Chen family ancestral hall, went to the Chen family ancestral hall and called Hu Peihong out, after saying today's events, Chen Jianxing asked her to hurry into the palace to accompany Chen Dedi, and don't come back at night.

When Hu Peihong heard that the palace was haunted, this ghost was still the queen mother, and her face turned white with fright, but thinking of her daughter suffering in the palace, she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took Qian Guiying away.

Waiting for Hu Peihong to leave, Chen Jianxing went to find Chen Yu and asked if the killer of Dark Moon Tower had entered the city, and only then did he know that Chen Jin, Chen Jian and Chen Lan were there.

Chen Yu glanced at them, knowing what they wanted to ask at this time, Chen Yu said: "Dark Moon Tower has the rules of Dark Moon Tower, if the killer arrives, he will show up, I haven't seen it yet, it means that it shouldn't have arrived yet, but it will definitely arrive today, what time is it, it's hard to say, don't worry, Dad and Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle, wait for someone to arrive, I will report to you immediately." ”

Chen Lan said in a deep voice: "You came back yesterday and said that the owner of the Dark Moon Tower is also here?" ”

Chen Yu said: "Well, at first, I didn't know that the owner of the Yuan Mansion was also here, but I only found out when I met him later." ”

Chen Xuan said: "You are the one to deal with the contact, but at first I was the one who contacted her, and I also knew how to contact her, I went to ask her when the killer would arrive, this kind of waiting for the unknown situation is the most anxious, and now we can't afford to wait." ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to a few people, went back to his yard, got off the book, and contacted Yuan Lingyue.

When Yuan Lingyue received this book butterfly, it was in the afternoon of the same day, she was sitting in the Fuman Star Building to eat, and Yun Su was sitting opposite, the Fuman Star Building was located on Tianzi West Street, which was the place where Yin Xuan's imperial chariot had an accident at that time, and the position where she sat was exactly the position where Chen Wen sat on the day of the incident.
