Chapter 201:-for-tat
"Lord Fu Yin, everyone has finished counting." The guards of Jingzhao Mansion clenched their hands into fists and half-bowed to report.
Du Fu Yin weakly supported his forehead at the moment, this royal money village is quite prestigious in the capital, who did he offend, not only the owner of the village died tragically, but now everyone up and down the entire money village has been killed.
The key is too obscure, there is no murder weapon left, and there is no living person, where should he start?
If Nangong Jin was here, he might be able to discuss a thing or two with him, but now...... Nangong Jin was secretly sent out to carry out the task entrusted by the emperor, although his cronies also went to the scene to investigate, but it seemed that no useful clues were found.
"Find someone from the coffin shop to collect their bodies." Du Fuyin was powerless, he had a hunch that he would definitely be impeached if he went to the court today.
"Yes." The guard said respectfully, then turned to leave.
After explaining what his subordinates were going to do, Du Fuyin hurriedly took the carriage to the court, and at this hour, he was already late...... It is estimated that it is indispensable to be chewed by other people.
Zhao Yue, who was sitting on the dragon chair, stared down and knelt on the ground with a dissatisfied expression, not daring to look up at his courtiers.
Early this morning, he learned from the criminal department Shangshu about the tragic death of the owner of the Imperial Money Bank, can he not be angry!! A dignified imperial businessman, with the support of the emperor behind him, he actually died tragically in the capital!!
Is this a provocation to his authority!!
"Where's Nangong Jin?" Zhao Yue roared, forgetting that because of the death of Liu Hai and all the clues pointing to the fiefdom of King Duanxiang, he secretly sent out.
The ministers who were half-kneeling below were frowning at this moment, and no one knew the whereabouts of the "ghost seeing sorrow" Nangong Jin.
Lu Lin knelt in the last row, showed a mysterious smile, and then immediately retreated, but he was very excited in his heart at the moment, this dog emperor is not far from the day when he will step down.
"Your Majesty, that, the Marquis of Ping'an...... He's always been so dashing, so I'm afraid he didn't come. The official department Shangshu said in panic, and Zhao Yue remembered that Nangong Jin and Song Anguo went to Duanxiang Wang's fiefdom to do business.
"Where's Jing Zhaoyin?" Zhao Yue swept over them one by one with dissatisfaction, Du Fuyin, who was supposed to be in charge of the security of the capital, was actually not in the court at the moment, is this contempt for the imperial law!!
"The next official has arrived, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly said, hurriedly ran into the court, and then knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed a few times to Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue, whose face was already ugly, saw Du Fuyin kowtowing so sincerely, and then gradually improved.
"Get up, Aiqing." Zhao Yue smiled.
"Your Majesty, this Du Mansion Yin...... It's a big dereliction of responsibility, the owner of the Imperial Money Village was assassinated for such a big thing, and he found out so late, tsk......tsk" Hube Shangshu found fault.
Du Fuyin's forehead was full of cold sweat at the moment, the last time Hubu Shangshu wanted to marry his son-in-law, but he refused, it seems that he has a grudge and wants to trouble him.
"Holy Lord, wronged, Xia Guan has been conscientiously guarding the law and order of the capital, but when the owner of the Imperial Household Qian Zhuang had an accident, it was pouring rain, and the thunder was roaring, so he ...... it," Du Fuyin explained.
"Yo...... Isn't it just that you let your subordinates be lazy, and what excuses do you make? Tobe Shangshu said sarcastically, just staring at Jing Zhaoyin and not letting go.
"Hubu Shangshu, you are not in your position, of course I don't know how hard this position is, how many things have to be done every day, in that kind of weather, not to mention that Du Fuyin will do this, I will do the same, after all, the people under him are also people, do they still have to risk this unpredictable danger of nature to patrol?" The criminal department is still rigid.
Hubu Shangshu was so angry that he couldn't wait to step forward and tear up this criminal department Shangshu, he and Du Fuyin tore each other, what kind of hand did this person meddle? Isn't the distribution in the court obvious enough?
Zhao Yue's whole face wrinkled, this group of rice buckets, at the moment in the court, are still attacking each other, and they have not contributed at all!! It's not as reassuring as Nangong Jin!!
"Is it enough!! What a system!! Zhao Yue slapped the dragon chair violently and said angrily.
Tobe Shangshu, who originally wanted to go back, immediately closed his mouth at this moment, and fell to his knees with a panicked face.
Other court officials who each had their own camp also chose to protect themselves and did not say anything.
"Du Fuyin, why is it so late?" Zhao Yue asked expressionlessly, quite a hint of asking the teacher, and the head of the household department lowered his head and sneered, looking like he was watching the excitement.
"Returning to the Holy ......" Du Fu Yin came out in panic and knelt on the ground, and Zhao Yue's gaze was looking at him very unkindly at the moment, making Du Fu Yin feel that his back was about to be poked out.
"I was originally involved in the death of the owner of the Imperial Household Money Estate, but I didn't expect the cronies of the Heian Hou to suddenly appear and then suddenly disappear...... Not long after, Zhao Si, the personal guard of the Marquis of Ping'an, sent someone to report to me, saying that all the people in the Imperial Household Money Village, regardless of whether they were old or young, had been killed. Du Fu Yin trembled and reported truthfully.
"What!!" Zhao Yue stood up excitedly, slapped his right hand the dragon chair, and threw the tea that the prince had just brought him towards Du Fu Yin's feet.
"Bang Dang!!"
The entire teacup was shattered, and all the hot tea in it splashed at Du Fuyin's feet.
"These people still have the imperial law, and the Son of Heaven dares to kill so much!!" Zhao Yue roared, he was simply furious.
"Holy Lord, please allow me to assist Du Fuyin in investigating this matter with Marble Qing." The Criminal Department Shangshu proposed.
Zhao Yue, who was originally angry, gradually turned his face better after hearing them volunteer.
"I've approved it, get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible!!"
"My patience is limited, if you don't find any clues in the end, then the black gauze hat on your head can be withdrawn at any time." Zhao Yue said domineeringly.
"Yes." The criminal department Shangshu said respectfully to Marble Qing.
"Retreat from the dynasty, don't get in my way here."
The courtiers who had received the order left in droves, as if they were about to be amnestied.
"Du Fu Yin, then congratulations on your victory, don't lose the black yarn on your head, after all, you are the third Jingzhao Mansion Yin to take office." Tobe Shangshu sneered, snorted coldly and walked past her.
Du Fu Yin felt that he was at a loss for words at the moment, and outsiders said that the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin was not at all something that ordinary people could do, and it seems that this is indeed the case today.
Because the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the emperor's relatives, dignitaries and nobles gather, and all kinds of people gather here, and the relationships inside are intertwined.
For Jing Zhaoyin, it is not easy to maintain law and order in the capital and perform his duties well in accordance with the law, and he is often dismissed after being slandered and convicted of slander not long after doing so.
He has only just taken office, and if he hadn't been appreciated by Nangong Jin, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to sit in this position, but his position is being eyed by others......
Even if he has not been in office for a long time, he knows that the current court is divided into two factions, one is headed by Nangong Jin, who holds the military power and obeys the emperor's orders; The other faction was headed by the prime minister, who co-opted most of the civilian officials and contended with them.
Of course, it seems to be headed by the prime minister, but in fact it is full of suspicions, after all, the prime minister is almost not very director, except for the occasional interjection of one or two sentences.
However, the civil officials are almost obedient to the obscure prime minister, which has to make people wonder if there is someone behind the instructions, but nothing can be verified.
After Du Fuyin came back to his senses from deep thought, he smirked awkwardly at the Hubu Shangshu, and then walked to the side of the criminal department Shangshu.
"All the verified materials have been collected?" The criminal department Shangshu asked.
"Well, the report records made by the Emperor, as well as the number of people I sent to count at the scene, and the number of people registered in the household department of the Imperial Household Bank, etc., have all been collected."
"However, Ping'anhou's cronies have also been to the scene, and I don't know what progress is going on their side." Du Fuyin reported truthfully.
"Okay, I'll go to Jingzhao Mansion later, and I'll get all the materials ready." The criminal department Shangshu smiled without saying a word, and when they arrived at the imperial city gate, the two of them returned to their carriages.
After Nangong Jin and Zhao Si went to the court in Jingzhao Mansion, they immediately climbed over the wall and went into the Imperial Household Money Village to investigate.
"Master Hou, we ......" Zhao Si wanted to speak and stopped.
Nangong Jin's unfazed heart also set off a ripple at this moment, and as soon as he entered this manor, the gate was already full of countless corpses that had been reassembled and intact.
Seeing that these people are dead and strong, I am afraid that they have resisted before their deaths, but the enemy is strong and I am weak, and they were finally hacked to death by the group of black-clothed people in the Yin Sha Building.
Walking further, we came to the living room, where the master of the living room was covered with dry traces, and there were still some scraps on the broken dining table at the moment.
Lying on the ground was an old woman with three or four young children beside her, and it could be inferred that the grandchildren of the old woman were hungry, and the old woman ate with them, but she did not expect to be buried here with them.
"The people behind this curtain are simply cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, if the destruction of the owner of the Royal Household Money Village has nothing to do with the death of Liu Hai before, the accumulation of wealth in Ma Zhuang, and the fiefdom of King Duanxiang, who will believe it?" Zhao Si said excitedly, the more he looked at it, the more miserable he felt.
"Right and wrong, based on our one-sided words, this cannot be established." Nangong Jin said calmly, even if it is really related to this deeply hidden behind-the-scenes person in the capital, so what?
As long as they could not find any evidence to catch him in a day, they would not be able to cure that man's sin.
"By the way, Master Hou, you will leave Miss Song's brother in the fief of King Duanxiang, is this feasible?" Zhao Si worried.
"It's okay, that person has a lot of ghosts, even if he can't get any clues, he will definitely not put himself in danger." Nangong Jin affirmed, and he also secretly sent Zheng Dai over there to be a singer, what is there, the two can also take care of each other
Zhao Si didn't say anything more, and then followed Nangong Jin to the backyard of the female dependent.
