Tao Xiaoshen felt that this period of time was extremely difficult.

Because of whether Gu Jicang was involved in the case, Jinyiwei was so slow to have clues not to say, and even Gu Jicang's hiding place was difficult for him to find out for a while, and the spies of the Chengguo Mansion found nothing at all.

Tao Xiaoshen does have helplessness.

Emperor Hongfu's taboo has always been the royal family's wall, so it is the letter of Tao Xiaoshen, and he has never ordered Jinyiwei to infiltrate the secret agent in the Linzi Palace, until this time the prince admonished, and Emperor Hongfu finally agreed after several hesitations, but the time is too short, and it is indeed reasonable to be effective, including the secret agent of the Chengguo Mansion, although it has been hidden for a long time, but the sudden order is such a confidential case, and there should not be conclusive news immediately.

But as shrewd as Tao Xiaoshen, he had actually noticed the unusualness of the two incidents of King Linzi's recommendation of Sun Chongbao, and even the two incidents of the black bear hurting people and the Miyun fire, the situation was urgent, and he knew that he didn't have so much time to explore, if the chaos happened, the truth would not matter.

From the day when Emperor Hongfu ordered Jinyiwei to obey the prince's moderation, there was no longer a second position for Tao Xiaoshen, and what he had to protect was the prince of the East Palace, which was both subjective loyalty and in line with the objective situation.

The catastrophe predicted by Sun Chongbao, in Tao Xiaoshen's knowledge, is closely related to Gu Jicang's case.

was anxious about the lack of progress in this incident, how did he know that on this day, the clues were actually sent to the door.

The person who reported the news was Shen Changying, and he hurriedly stepped into the deacon hall, with an anxious look that he was about to speak, and it was obvious that he had something important to discuss, so Tao Xiaoshen explained to his subordinates in a few words, and then talked with Shen Changying secretly.

"Brother Tao, my thousand-household Dong Guanjian, today the warp newspaper arrested a widow, and found that there was a secret letter on him, after asking, it was to send Gu Jicang, but the secret letter was written in code, and the widow insisted that he didn't know what the secret letter was, and now Dong Guanjian is using torture on the widow, hoping to ask from him where Gu Jicang is hiding, I will report this matter to Brother Tao first, and Brother Tao will decide whether to report to His Highness."

Tao Xiao was naturally excited after hearing this, but after a little hesitation, he felt that it was inconvenient for him to intervene: "This time, His Royal Highness explained that the Jinyi Guard Office was involved in the hidden important case, although he gave me the right to host it, but I and Brother Shen were originally at the same level, but in fact there was no subordinate relationship, since this clue was investigated by Brother Shen, it should be decided by Brother Shen. ”

"Brother Tao, it's not that you don't know me, it's because you have no choice but to fight for the right to co-organize this time, it's not uncommon to get credit, and I didn't do my best at all, it's just that this Dong Qianhu, he is my father-in-law's manpower, so I don't need my arrangement to do my best...... In short, why do you and I have to say the word greed, I don't want to be pushed into the ring by my father-in-law and fight with Brother Tao. Shen Changying's face was distressed, and he couldn't throw this hot hand away.

"Brother Shen also said that Dong Guanjian is Liang Gong's manpower, and he was sent by Liang Gong, so it is even more inconvenient for me to interfere in this matter." Tao Xiaoshen is also very resolute.

Although the commander of Liang Shiqi did not have the right to participate in the trial, his son-in-law Shen Changying served as the co-leader, and his subordinates such as Dong Guanzhen naturally obeyed Shen Changying's moderation, which was a common practice within the Jinyi Health Department, and if he took over the investigation, he must first examine where Dong Guanjian got the informant, but Dong Guanzhen was not his subordinate, of course, it was impossible to inform the secret line detectives, and there would be internal disputes, which would cause the investigation to be delayed, which was greatly unfavorable to the timely investigation of the case.

Shen Changying couldn't convince Tao Xiaoshen and said goodbye with a sad face.

But of course he understands that Tao Xiaoshen is not a person who is greedy for merit, and it is impossible to take over the clues obtained by his subordinates, this trip is nothing more than to dispel Tao Xiaoshen's doubts, and at the same time he can continue to paralyze the princeling camp, his image of no intention of promotion is really too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and suddenly so positive, I am afraid that Zhao Lanting, the think tank around the prince, will be vigilant, and at this critical moment, if Wei Guogong's plan is to continue to be carried out, he must not startle the snake.

And that Dong Guanjian, although he is indeed the manpower of his father-in-law Liang Shiyan, can be caught by him, but it is the bait that Wei Guogong took the initiative to throw.

The crown prince soon learned of this "major breakthrough".

Of course, he heard Tao Xiaoshen's idea of avoiding suspicion, patted Shen Changying's shoulder that looked quite frustrated, and the prince was also quite angry: "Shen's idea, it's not incomprehensible, it's certainly valuable not to fight for fame and fortune, but at this time, there are many hidden dangers in the country, and it is the time when you need the loyalty of hundreds of civil and military officials. ”

Although the prince beat Shen Changying a beating, he didn't bother to force him to preside over the torture bow, and led Lan Ting and Gong Wang to the edict of Fusi in Beizhen, and personally urged him to ask questions.

When he stepped down the row of stone steps that seemed to go deep into hell, even if he didn't hear the screams of the tortured, he was actually shivered by the gloomy aura that came to his face, and he smacked his tongue again and again: "This is more terrifying than the prison of the government, I don't know how many times more terrifying than the prison of the government government, I want to be directly arrested in the edict prison at that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to talk calmly and laugh." ”

If he was scared into a mess at that time, how could the daimyo make Miss Yin "thunderous"? It is even more impossible to win Miss Yin's favor when they have never met.

Hey? Even at this time, you can think of Miss Yin? Gong Wang suddenly felt that he had really moved the idea of marrying a wife this time, but the girl he liked was still in love, and he was bent on marrying a confidant with a different surname with him, and the road to marriage seemed to be bumpy and difficult.

As soon as he was distracted, he stepped on the prince's heel.

The prince closed his eyes and squinted: "This is the case, not for you to be tortured today, and to commit the six gods without a master?" Look at how calm and relaxed your role model is now. ”

"Model" Zhao Duyu only gave Gong Wang a stable back of his head, and he didn't bother to look at him.

To say that the edict at this time is no longer as "overcrowded" as the first emperor, all the way deep and did not hear the ghost crying wolf, so in Lan Ting's opinion, the empty prison cell and the cold torture instrument are missing shocking, only this place has been boring for many years, and the accumulated filthy gas makes him very disgusted, in order to reduce this disgusting feeling, he has to breathe and avoid the five internal organs being impregnated by this turbidity, and it seems that the whole person is both calm and cold.

The widow was now being held in the innermost chamber.

Seeing that he was covered with bruises, he should have been tortured with sticks and canes, and at this time he was in a heavy flail, and this short Japanese man was carrying shackles far more than his body weight, and his waist and ankles were also fixed, so that he could only stand, so the Japanese were already full of purple blood and sweat, but it could be seen that he was not an ordinary person, and he was tortured like this and did not cry out in a loud voice.

And what is even more terrifying is that the torture instruments displayed in this torture room have caused many unjust souls to die tragically, they are silent, but they seem to be silently swallowing an eerie murderous aura, which shocks Gong Wang, the temporary "chief judge", to the point that his knees are weak.

He grabbed Lan Ting's arm: "Model, Xiaosheng, I am really incompetent this time, so you should come." ”
