Chapter 489: Surprise is greater than joy
A few girls gossip in the small garden, and they are happy, but the atmosphere in the main hall is not very good.
As soon as Shen Yuechen walked into the main hall with Murong Xi, he retreated left and right, and closed the door, looking at it that there was something important.
After Murong Xi sat down, he waited for Shen Yuechen to speak.
"Murong Gongzi, don't hide it, recently in the imperial capital, another big incident happened."
Murong Xi continued: "What happened again?" ”
Shen Yuechen said: "I don't know the specifics, I only received the news this morning, saying that a batch of goods from Ruyan and Tai was missing at the dock." ”
Qingzhou people dare to steal goods?! Murong Xi was slightly surprised, which thief was so bold?
"Is there a clue then?"
Shen Yuechen shook his head: "Not yet." However, the people from the government have already reported this matter to the monarch, and they have recommended you and me to the monarch, so ......"
So......? Murong Xi looked at Shen Yuechen.
Shen Yuechen pondered for a moment and said, "So...... The case of the Auspicious Inn, and this matter, the monarch asked you and me to investigate together. ”
"However, I am not from the court."
It's not that Murong Xi doesn't want to help, it's just his identity, is it appropriate to be so overly involved?
interfered in the case of Jixiang Inn before, just looking for an opportunity to have a good relationship with Tong Yao.
Now that his goal has been achieved, there is no need to get involved in these things of the imperial court.
"The monarch said, as long as Murong Gongzi is willing, the imperial court can specially hire you as an adviser to the government, and bring the monarch to give a token, as long as it is for the investigation of the case, you can come and go everywhere in the imperial capital."
This temptation is quite big.
Murong Xi didn't speak.
Shen Yuechen conveyed the monarch's words to Murong Xi as they were, and this condition, not to mention a common man, is also extremely tempting for an important minister.
Today, when the monarch is out, who else can go in and out of the imperial capital at will?
But Murong Xi didn't answer immediately, and he didn't even show a look of surprise, could it be that this condition was so unattractive to him?
"Could it be that Murong Gongzi is still not satisfied with the monarch's amnesty?" Shen Yuechen said tentatively.
Murong Xi shook his head: "Of course not, it's just that I really don't have this ability, so that the monarch is so important, I hesitate in my heart, and I dare not bear it." ”
It turned out that I was stunned, not dissatisfied.
Shen Yuechen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that ordinary people would probably be more surprised than happy when they heard the news.
He handed the token handed to him by the monarch and handed it to Murong Xi:
"Originally, the monarch meant to summon you personally, but recently the monarch has been very busy, so he can only let me transfer it on his behalf, and please don't mind Murong Gongzi."
The monarch's idea, what can he mind, but it is not a bad thing to be able to go in and out of the imperial capital by himself, maybe he can use it in the future?
This time, he and Yan Chunfeng went down to earth, and their identities in the north were not as hard as last time, and without this token, there may really be a lot of things that can't be done.
So, he took it with both hands: "Then thank you for the appreciation of the monarch, I don't know what the reaction of Ruyan and Tai is about this incident?" ”
"Naturally, I'm quite angry." Shen Yuechen frowned: "Tell the monarch that you will be limited to one month to solve the case, otherwise, you will have to find trouble with Dongping Kingdom." ”
A month, no more, no less, it's enough.
Murong Xi said: "I'll go to the dock with you in a while to see if there are any clues left." ”
