As Jiang Muyuan told the ins and outs, the saint's face became more and more gloomy, almost as if it was dyed with a layer of ink.

The little waiter wanted to bring tea over, but seeing that the atmosphere inside was depressing, he shrunk his neck, as if a nail had been nailed under his feet, and he didn't dare to go inside.

Han Gonggong caught a glimpse of it, took the tea tray lightly, and glanced at the little waiter.

The little chamberlain slipped out with tears in his eyes, and closed the door of the imperial study tightly.

Han Gonggong was a little bolder, put the tea tray on the table, and then retreated to the side with his eyes and nose, waiting for the demolition of the saint at any time.

In the entire imperial study, except for Jiang Muyuan's clear voice, only the sound of the Western clock was left.

Jiang Muyuan told the truth about what happened, from the old woman to the unsuccessful suicide of the widow of the Bai family in the fallen leaf alley, and then to the three victims who froze to death at night.

The saint did not interrupt Jiang Muyuan's statement, and after listening to everything, he hummed lightly, asked Jiang Muyuan to eat tea to moisten his throat, lowered his head, and carefully read several case files from beginning to end.

After reading the last page, Sheng Shang raised his head, leaned on the back of the chair, pointed at the armrest with his fingertips, and said coldly: "Step by step, this is a big opera, and the script has been rehearsed in advance!"

What about the old woman? What is the surname, where is the person, and what is the background?

Did the people arrest it? Catch it in the yamen and ask who let her go to Dongjie! ”

Jiang Muyuan raised his eyebrows and replied, "I made people stare at it, but I didn't catch it." ”

"If you don't arrest her, will you keep her for the New Year? Do you want me to give her another New Year's gift? The saint slapped the big case and said with wide eyes.

Jiang Muyuan didn't seem to mind the anger of the saint at all, and said his thoughts: "Youyou's mouth is not easy to block, if you catch her in the yamen, you may not be able to ask for something, but you will cause a lot of trouble." Besides, she may not know the inside story, what she should have done has been done, and for the thief, she is already an abandoned child who doesn't care about the outcome. ”

The saint didn't know this, but the situation was really embarrassing, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down a little: "The three ancestors who froze to death are really the victims of the two lakes?" ”

Jiang Muyuan replied: "Those three have been begging in the vicinity for several months, and the people around them are familiar with them, and according to the names and surnames they provided, they have also found the registration in the yamen, and the three ancestors and grandsons entered Beijing at the end of September, and their original home is Yuezhou Mansion." ”

"A-Yuan," the saint narrowed his eyes and said, "Was it cold enough to freeze to death last night?" Even if the three ancestors didn't sleep on the side of the road in one piece of clothing, they wouldn't have died. ”

Jiang Muyuan lowered his eyes and said, "As you said, it is precisely because of this, and the list of doubts in the previous theft case, that I feel that there is something wrong with this case."

After all, it's winter, as long as the other party wants to do it, it's not difficult to freeze to death.

And to incite the people, where do you need to be comprehensive? ”

At the mention of the instigated people, the anger of the saint rose again, and he stood up and paced back and forth with his back on his back: "A group of foolish people! Such obvious incitement is indistinguishable!

What 'Zhumen wine and meat stinks and there are frozen bones on the road'?

Do you want to scold me and Concubine Yu again?

If I am really a tyrant and a faint king, can they scold me all day long at the feet of the Son of Heaven?

Another day, they will all be caught, and they will all be cut, and they will know that they are powerful! ”

This last sentence is basically an angry sentence.

Gonggong Han knew in his heart that he didn't persuade him, and Jiang Muyuan didn't say anything, and scolded the saint like he was angry.

The saint scolded and sat back on the dragon chair: "Shao Fangde is in charge of the capital!" ”

Jiang Muyuan saw that the saint's anger was almost out, so he spoke: "The other party is prepared, and now the situation can't be blamed on Lord Shao." ”

"Call Saffonde." The saint turned his head and ordered Han Gonggong.

Gonggong Han went out in response, and the imperial study was quiet again.

The saint didn't ask Jiang Muyuan anything more, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

After waiting for half an hour, Shao Fangde rushed to the outside of the imperial study, and met Sun Rui and Sun Zhen head-on, he hurriedly saluted: "Third Highness, Seventh Highness." ”

The three of them entered the imperial study together.

The saint motioned for Sun Rui and Sun Zhen to sit down on the side, and asked Shao Fu Yin with the case file: "How is the situation outside?" Can you catch someone? ”

Shao Fu Yin lowered his head.

What's going on outside?

What else could it be like out there?

The three grandchildren were frozen to death on the street, how can this kind of thing be hidden?

When the official had just received the letter and rushed to the scene, the nearby residents had already gathered around and told the origin of the three men one by one, and when they had checked it, the news spread everywhere along with the vendors who walked the streets.

That is, it is still early, not at noon or at night, when the restaurant is at its most lively, and once it arrives, those things become more and more intense.

In the whole year, the people paid attention to three major events in Beijing, one was the collapse of the Yangxin Palace, the second was the fire in the alley, and then the collapse of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, one after another, all of them were ominous omens, so that the bursting of the embankment of the two lakes was the follow-up to this ominous follow-up.

Yesterday, because of the suicide of the widow of the Bai family, these old things were turned up again, and today there are people who froze to death, Shao Fangde doesn't need to let people listen, they all know what the people will say.

It's just that these words were all relayed to the saint, and he didn't have the courage to do so.

simply crossed this article, Shao Fu Yin only said the second half: "If the other party is not committing a crime, it probably won't work." ”

"If it doesn't work, it's okay!" The saint snorted, "If you make people panic, if you continue to scold, do you want to open the treasury and give them silver?" ”

Shao Fu Yin did not dare to respond.

Jiang Muyuan quietly glanced at the saint, he knew, even if it was the opening of the treasury, how much silver could there be in the treasury?

Sun Rui, who was standing on the side, pondered for a long time and suggested: "Father, disaster relief is still indispensable, even if there is an inside story in this matter, you can only take one step and count one step first." ”

Shengshang stretched his face and glanced at Sun Rui, noncommittal.

Sun Zhen is younger and bolder: "If you can't catch someone, it's better to catch a fake one first, and if you go to prison, you can also calm the hearts of the people first." ”

Shaofu Yin was stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "Fake? So really? Do you really do it again? ”

Sun Zhen sneered: "It turned out that several people committed crimes, and one of them can be said to have slipped through the net." ”

Shaofu Yin didn't squeak, in his opinion, this trick was a way out of the way, and it was actually not that step yet, so there was no need to calculate like this.

There was no clue on the face of the saint, and he didn't know whether he was in favor or not, and after a moment of silence in the imperial study, the saint spoke slowly and asked Sun Zhen, "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”
