Fortunately, even when he was not in the court, Ye Quan was used to wearing a court dress in the yamen, and at this moment, he only needed to wear an official hat, and he was a dignified criminal department scholar, and he could go directly to the palace.

Along the way, Ye Quan received many surprised glances.

In just one hour, almost the entire people in Beijing knew that the son of Jiang Taishi's family, the royal concubine, sued his father.

Those eyes wandered over him several times, and they were retracted in time before Ye Quan noticed it, and in the face of such a minister of humerus in the court, few people dared to offend.

Along the way, the people retreated to both sides, and Ye Quan rode his horse and crossed the two main streets unimpeded, coming to the outside of the palace.

Before the Praetorian Guards could stop him, Ye Quan had already taken out the identity card that proved his identity, and said: "Someone has sounded the Shen Grievance Drum, the person who is accused is in the palace, and according to the law, this official should put the person in prison." ”

Hearing this, the Praetorian Guard put down the spear in his hand, glanced at the person behind him, and immediately opened the palace door after receiving the order: "Please also ask Lord Ye to go back quickly." ”

After Ye Quan entered, the Praetorian Guards blocked the palace gate again.

The remaining dozen or so Yamen soldiers could only wait outside.

And then not a single person was dissatisfied with such a scene.

Let's not talk about the last time Tian Shengyang of the Criminal Department trespassed into the Jinluan Palace, the so-called prisoner was also imprisoned, let's just say that the object involved this time is ......

The slightest hearing of the man's name made them feel chills.

At this time, it is most appropriate to let the criminal department Shangshu come forward, as for the little minions at the bottom, just wait for the results.

Ye Quan drove the horse in the palace and hurried.

After inquiring with the palace people several times, he finally learned that His Majesty was in the palace at this time and did not go out, so Ye Quan did not hesitate and went straight to the emperor's bedroom.

He believed that Jiang Taishi was kneeling outside the emperor's bedroom at this moment.

Thinking so, Ye Quan never doubted his judgment, but when he came to the outside of the Jin'an Emperor's palace and faced an empty palace, his mind still couldn't help but be confused.

People aren't here!

If not here, where will it be?

Before Ye Quan could figure things out, the originally closed palace door suddenly opened from the inside, revealing Yuan Yi's slightly rickety body.

As the secretary of the Criminal Department, Ye Quan naturally knew who this person was, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Grand Duke Yuanyi." ”

"Ye Shangshu." Yuan Yi smiled, bowed down and asked: "Your Majesty is waiting in the inner hall, and I also invite Ye Shangshu to enter the palace for a while." ”

Hearing this, Ye Quan was slightly stunned.

Rao is that he is used to seeing the changes in the wind and clouds, and he is a little surprised at this time.

Looking at the attitude of Grand Duke Yuanyi, it seems that he guessed that he would definitely come early in the morning.

Even His Majesty's attitude is a little strange.

Before he could do it, His Majesty knew that he had arrived at the palace?

No matter how quickly the news of the sound drum being struck, it would not have been so fast.

Thinking of this, Ye Quan was slightly distressed.

However, he is an upright person, and a little distress can't change anything.

After thinking about it, Ye Quan nodded to Yuan Yi: "Please also ask the Grand Duke to lead the way in front." ”

The Emperor's Residence is not a place where anyone can come.

If you don't want to be offended and misunderstood, you can only move forward under the guidance of the eunuch, the chief eunuch of the imperial palace.

Yuan Yi nodded and gently walked in with someone.

Walking through the outer hall, which is filled with all kinds of precious things, is the inner hall of the home.

The decoration in the hall is not luxurious, and it will not be a pressure to look at.

Ye Quan adapted well, and when he saw Emperor Jin An, who was half-lying on the bed and reading official documents, he hurriedly straightened his dress, knelt down a few steps forward, and kowtowed: "Weichen Ye Quan, please say hello to Your Majesty." ”

Hearing his voice, Emperor Jin An seemed to notice Ye Quan's approach at this time, so he raised his head from the official document and glanced at him with a gentle look in his eyes.

This eye is full of deep meaning, but it's a pity that Ye Quan is kowtowing and bowing his head, and he can't detect what is hidden in this look at all.

After a while, Emperor Jin An handed the official document to Yuan Yi and said, "Ye Qing is exempt." ”

After that, he instructed Yuan Yi, who was carefully putting the official document on the imperial case, "Give Ye Qing a seat." ”

Hearing this, without waiting for Yuan Yi to answer, Ye Quan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen trespassed into the palace this time because he came on business, someone sounded the drum of grievances outside, and Wei Chen came to take people into custody in accordance with the law. ”

Therefore, he will leave when he has tied people up, so he does not have to waste time by sitting down.

Hearing the meaning of Ye Qing's words, Emperor Jin An was noncommittal.

At this time, Yuan Yi had already moved a small stool from the side.

Seeing this, Ye Quan had no choice but to sit down nervously.

At the moment, he really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in His Majesty's gourd.

After a while, Emperor Jin An said: "I know who is the person who rang for the grievance, and I also know who the person who was sued is. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Quan was taken aback and almost couldn't sit still: "How did Your Majesty know?" ”

This happened not long ago.

Even if His Majesty has eyeliner everywhere in Beijing, he shouldn't know it so quickly.

For this matter, it was naturally impossible for Emperor Jin An to confess Qi Changrong, the crown prince of the East Palace, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "I have heard a little about what Jiang Taishi did, and just last night, I sent him to the edict. ”

So fast?

Ye Quan frowned, not knowing what to say.

Emperor Jin asked again: "Has the Criminal Department filed a case?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Quan came back to his senses and said busily: "It's already established, Tian Shengyang and Sun Jing are preparing to investigate this matter." ”

And that's not all.

Before he left, the entire criminal department was taken aback by this incident.

It should be boiling to the same level as if you suddenly poured some cold water into a hot oil pan.

Everyone is very energetic about this matter, and they dare not slack off at all, after all, this matter is very involved, and if they are not careful, it may make the criminal department become a person inside and out.

Emperor Jin An bowed his head, thought for a while and said: "This matter is with the power of the Criminal Department, or it is still difficult to find out, I will order Dali Temple, the Inspectorate to assist in the trial, if you have any difficulties, just send people to the Imperial Prison, and the people in the Imperial Prison will naturally pry their mouths open." ”

Ye Quan: "......"

He was not surprised to use Dali Temple and Metropolitan Inspectorate.

But why did even the edict and prison move together?

Although the Imperial Prison had no real power, it was only set up as a place for interrogating prisoners.

But......

Every person who goes to the edict prison, the lightest end is to lose a layer of skin, if you are unlucky, whether you can come out alive is two different things.

Even if he knew that this matter would not be so simple, but when he really understood Emperor Jin's attitude, Ye Quan only felt very complicated in his heart.

No matter how you say it, Jiang Bowen was once a respected master in the imperial court.

I always feel very strange to go to prison like this.

As if seeing the awkwardness in Ye Quan's heart, Emperor Jin suddenly asked, "Ye Qing, are you suspecting that Jiang Bowen was slandered?" ”

Recalling what Jiang Bowen had done on his face over the years, Emperor Jin An's eyes became more and more heavy.

I have to say that Jiang Bowen is indeed an old fox with successful cultivation, and what he has done is never faulty, whether it is in the hearts of courtiers or the people, he is worthy of the four words of the pillar of the country.

With such a perfect protective color, people's impression of him is subconsciously beautified a little, and when they learn that such people can also make mistakes, all that comes to everyone's mind is doubt.

- How could he make a mistake?

Emperor Jin An understood.

It is precisely because of understanding that the anger in the heart will be stronger.

Everyone was toyed with by Jiang Bowen between applause, including the royal family.

This is definitely a great shame for Emperor Jin An!

Sensing that there was a bit of anger hidden in the emperor's tone, Ye Quan was slightly startled in his heart, and immediately understood the crux of the matter, and said solemnly: "As the secretary of the criminal department, Weichen's duty is to investigate the case, and before the matter is clarified, Weichen will definitely not favor any side!" ”

As one of the three divisions, when involved in a case, Ye Quan will not be selfish.

Hearing this, Emperor Jin An's face softened by two points.

He understands Ye Quan's temperament, if it weren't for his upright nature, many years ago, he would not have put him in the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he would have been released for so many years.

After thinking about it, Emperor Jin An looked at Ye Quan and said, "Right now, Jiang Bowen has been imprisoned, if you need to, you can be arraigned at any time." ”

"And ......" Emperor Jin An paused, but had to admit something: "Jiang Bowen's identity is not ordinary, no matter what the result is, the process must be like a big war, and the investigation may not be very smooth, and then, Ye Qing is busy." ”

Suddenly, Ye Quan said respectfully: "This is the duty of Weichen, and Weichen will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

At this point, it is urgent to file a case.

Ye Quan didn't want to waste time, and after figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, he said goodbye.

After the people left, Yuan Yi came and put the stool elsewhere, and said with some worry: "Not only is the criminal department going to be anxious because of this, but even Your Majesty, I'm afraid there will be no quiet time in the future." ”

"That's to be expected." Emperor Jin An's tone was light, and he ordered: "The day after tomorrow, resume the early dynasty." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Yi was a little nervous: "Your Majesty won't rest for two more days?" ”

"As you said, it must be a tough battle next, as the emperor of a country, how can I completely push this matter on the courtiers?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Yi understood, made a look of sudden realization, and said: "Your Majesty wants to come forward to support Lord Ye and suppress all the juniors hiding in the dark?" ”

Seeing that Yuan Yi instantly understood what he meant, Emperor Jin An gave him an appreciative look: "You are getting smarter and smarter." ”

Yuan Yi smiled, hurriedly bowed down and patted his ass: "As for the elm-like head of the old slave, it all depends on His Majesty's training." ”

……

The sun was just right, the sound of horses' hooves gradually rose, and Ye Quan rode out of the horse.

When the people in the criminal department outside the palace saw him leaving the palace alone, a touch of nervousness immediately appeared on his face, and after the people came out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked urgently: "My lord, why did you leave the palace alone?" ”
