83. Case Closure (1)

Pei Zhenwan came out of Liushang, and before she could take a few steps, she bumped into a little eunuch who was on an errand in Zichen Palace.

The little eunuch was so anxious that he was sweating, and when he saw Pei Zhenwan from a distance, he hurriedly ran over: "Beauty, I can be regarded as finding you." ”

Pei Zhenwan said softly: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

"Your Majesty sent you to the Xuanzheng Palace, and He Gong sent two or three minions to come out to find you." The little eunuch gasped, but he finished his words in a moment.

"Do you know what's going on?"

"The slave doesn't know, the beauty should go to the Xuanzheng Hall first."

Pei Zhenwan glanced at the agar, and had to hurriedly walk towards the Xuanzheng Palace. Although the little eunuch who came to deliver the message looked anxious, he didn't see the panicked look, which might not be a bad thing.

said that he was going to the Xuanzheng Palace, not the Zichen Palace, I think it was related to the case of serving the imperial history?

The people outside the Xuanzheng Hall saw it from a distance, and as soon as they turned around, they went to ask He Bao to come out. He Bao seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen Pei Meiren, you can be regarded as here, Your Majesty has asked a few times." ”

"Father-in-law He, I don't know why His Majesty summoned me?"

He Bao lowered his voice and said: "It's not the case of the previous dynasty, General Feng is also here, let's go in, beauty." ”

Gently entered the palace gate, bypassed the screen, and the first thing I saw was the back of Feng Lan who was armed. He wasn't talking at the moment, but seemed to be standing there with his arms crossed. Emperor Chen sat in front of the desk, writing on the desk with a pen, and was not discussing anything.

Such a quiet atmosphere couldn't help but make Pei Zhenwan feel a little more nervous and deal with it carefully.

He Bao said slowly: "Your Majesty, Pei Meiren has arrived." ”

Emperor Chen raised his head, and his expression lit up: "It's here." ”

Such an unexpected reaction made Pei Zhenwan a little nervous. He Bao had already bowed and withdrawn, but it was Emperor Chen who got up from the front of the case, walked straight over, and patted Pei Zhenwan on the shoulder.

"I've been waiting for you for a while, great hero, sit down and have a cup of tea."

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't help but take Pei Zhenwan's hand and sit down in front of the case.

Pei Zhenwan glanced at Feng Lan with some suspicion, but saw that Feng Lan's expression was impermanent, still looking cold, and after looking at Pei Zhenwan, she moved to other places.

Since this cold stone could not give any information, Pei Zhenwan had to turn her head and look at Emperor Chen with a smile.

"Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood, but the case of the Imperial Servant has been closed?"

"Not bad." Emperor Chen nodded, "Today, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple have verified that Ma Yu did not participate in the murder, but he does have the responsibility of negligence in office, and he has been proposed to be demoted to Taiyuan Shaoyin, and he has been ordered to go to his post to reflect on it." Guo Yin, sentenced to beheading. ”

Pei Zhenwan listened while looking at Feng Lan's expression, which was still as usual. He came back and said to Emperor Chen: "This case has been clarified, and it is indeed a happy event." ”

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chen shook his head and said, "No, I don't like to close the case." I am glad that Ma Yan's hands are still clean in the end, and this court is not full of those sinister people. ”

Pei Zhenwan's expression moved: "Your Majesty is worried that there is some confusion between the court and the court?" ”

"Yes," Emperor Chen couldn't help but stand up and say as he walked, "I was so nervous before, because I was worried that these high-ranking people had bent the law for personal gain, and they would not be able to be honest and honest in their office. Chen Guo has fought a lot of foreign wars in recent years, and if the officials in internal affairs cannot be left alone, how can they plan for a great career in the future? ”

As Emperor Chen got up, Pei Zhenwan also had to stand up. Now she understood why Feng Lan had been standing there like a stone statue, Emperor Chen was in a very good mood and stood uncertainly, as a courtier, naturally there was no reason for the monarch to stand and sit by himself. Instead of constantly getting up after him, it's better to just stand there and save trouble.

Looking at Emperor Chen's expression, Pei Zhenwan nodded and said, "What Your Majesty thinks is very long-term. In this way, the guilt of the Hubu Shangshu is not deep, and it is true that it is a happy event for our dynasty. ”

Emperor Chen stepped forward and held Pei Zhenwan's shoulders with both hands: "Awan, I've been worried for several days, but they didn't disappoint me." ”

From the moment Emperor Chen's hand came up, Pei Zhenwan caught a glimpse of Feng Lan quietly turning half of her body and turning her head back. couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said: "Yes, the concubine congratulates Your Majesty, this case has cost Your Majesty and many ministers the hard work, it seems that Your Majesty wants to treat them more." ”

After speaking, his eyes glanced in Feng Lan's direction.

This is a very subtle hint, but fortunately, Emperor Chen also understands, but such a move in front of the courtiers and foreign men is also inappropriate.

"Nature." Emperor Chen straightened his face, "The reward has been decided, and I will not wronged everyone." ”

Feng Lan turned around and arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”

Seeing Feng Lan's appearance, Emperor Chen suddenly kindly let him go: "You are also restrained here, you can go back." ”

The cold face finally loosened a little, and he faintly heard Feng Lan breathe a sigh of relief, nodded and rushed out of the hall without looking back.

"You're so uncomfortable in front of me?"

When Emperor Chen saw it, he was a little reluctant, so he casually copied the paperweight at hand and threw it straight over. Feng Lan didn't look back, but just raised his arm to catch the paperweight from his ear, respectfully placed it on the long table next to the temple gate, and went out in a puff of smoke.

In the past, I only knew that Emperor Chen was a little out of shape in private, but Pei Zhenwan saw this for the first time today, with a hint of childishness. The appearance of chasing after Feng Lan and throwing things can no longer be a child's house.

Several people dispersed in a hurry, and Pei Zhenwan naturally wanted to go back to Penglai Palace.

Although it is said that he still does not know about the death of the servant Yushi, what is the inside story, Pei Zhenwan's heart is already carefully coiling the intricate relationship between the officials of the Chen Dynasty.

can get rid of a court servant in Luodu without knowing it, this person must be a bit powerful. Listening to Feng Lan's words, Qianniu Wei has been secretly investigating for about a month, and there has been no progress, which shows that he is acting very neatly. Fang Cai failed to ask carefully, did this servant die of a sword, stumble, or was he poisoned? If someone else kills with a weapon, then it is thought that a high-ranking official has bought off the killer. What if it's poisoning? That is, there is an inner ghost in the house, and it takes time to buy off the family or stuff it into the inner line of domestic slaves.

This is by no means something that can be done at the whim, and being forced to buy murder under the nose of the Son of Heaven, then what the imperial history has mastered must be accurate evidence, and it is also a big crime that can take the lives of officials.

Does this man save his own life and extinguish his mouth, or remove hidden dangers for his master?

Pei Zhenwan thought about it all the way, and looked at the list in the Chen Dynasty, and probably had listed three possible names in the direction. Just wait for Ding Bo and them to find out the clue and compare it with their own conjecture.
