"Nian Cong! Daddy is finally looking forward to your return! "The housekeeper reported overnight, Mo Zhifu woke up from his sleep, hurriedly got up to change his clothes, and ran quickly to meet his son." Nian Cong, let Dad take a good look, oops...... I've lost a lot of weight...... Daddy's heart hurts...... Pity your mother for dying early, I can't take good care of you......" As he spoke, Mo Zhifu burst into tears.

Mo Niancong grabbed the hand that caressed his face, his heart was both moved and funny, and replied with a smile: "Dad, the child eats well and dresses warmly in the south, and lives a very nourishing life. But Dad, you look a lot haggard, I'm afraid you're working for business......"

Hearing his beloved son's words, Mo Zhifu cried even more: "Nian Cong, your father's life is too bitter!" As my father said in the letter, Duan Shangshu's son died tragically in Ning Shangshu's mansion, the suspect has been arrested, it is a maid in Ning Mansion, and it was originally fine, but my father recently heard that this maid was actually the illegitimate daughter of Ning Shangshu, you say, how should my father be good...... Woohoo......"

Mo Niancong comforted the loving father in front of him with a gentle gaze.

"Originally, my father had a verdict in his heart, there was neither anyone but no physical evidence, only the maid was present at the time of the crime, and the case could be closed if he wanted to, but after learning that the maid was the daughter of Ning Shangshu, his father understood that if there was no ironclad evidence, the case could not be hastily closed, but it was not easy to find ironclad evidence! Nian Cong...... Dad couldn't sleep at night because of this...... You're back just in time...... Just ......" After speaking, Mo Zhifu pitifully wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve.

Mo Niancong couldn't bear to see it, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and comforted: "Dad, don't worry, I have worked in the Criminal Department for several years, and I have a lot of experience in dealing with all kinds of unsolved cases. ”

Mo Zhifu was deeply relieved after hearing this, and looked at Mo Niancong with teary eyes.

"It's just that it is not easy to solve this case, and it requires the cooperation of many parties. I have carefully reviewed the case file, but I feel that there are omissions and need to check the records, can my father help me? Mo Niancong thought in his heart that if he went to Duan's Mansion to investigate as a servant of the Criminal Department, he would be obstructed by the lord in every way, but if he could persuade his father to go, it would be reasonable, but his father would not want to blame Duan Shangshu for this, and I am afraid that he would not easily agree, so he had to take advantage of his current situation to confuse him with a promise.

"It's nature! No matter what Nian Cong needs, Dad will definitely go all out! Mo Zhifu patted his chest and made a promise.

After hearing this, Mo Niancong knew that the plan was successful, and couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly answered: "One word!" Dad, I want you to send someone to follow me to the Duan Mansion and re-interrogate the people in the Duan Mansion in the name of the prefect's yamen! ”

Mo Zhifu looked dazed, and before he could refuse, he was dragged to Duan Mansion.

In the imperial study, everyone looked at each other and did not say a word, lest they avoid it. The emperor sat on the dragon chair and watched coldly.

Duan Nantian was the first to attack, he knelt heavily under the hall, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty! Ask the emperor to be the master of the old ministers! ”

The emperor glanced at him leisurely, and replied lightly: "Aiqing, please get up quickly, why are you here?" ”

Duan Nantian saw that the emperor was unmoved, and he was furious, but he only dared to burn to Mo Zhifu. "The old minister wants to participate in the Mo Governor's Mansion and is not effective! The only son of the poor old minister died tragically for more than a month, but this Mo Zhifu has not been able to close the case for a long time, and he is in his position without seeking his position, which is really in vain to accept the court's favor, and ask the emperor to see it! ”

After hearing this, the emperor looked at Mo Zhifu, only to see that he was afraid of Duan Nantian's piercing eyes, and lowered his head so low that he couldn't lower it any longer, his appearance was very pitiful, so he said with a pleasant face: "Mo Aiqing, is there such a thing?" ”

Mo Zhifu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and replied: "The emperor forgives his sins!" The minister really did not close the case with real evidence......" After speaking, cold sweat was dripping.

Mo Niancong saw that he was so embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The emperor is wise, my father has been thinking about this case for several days, and he has never relaxed for a moment!" Ask the emperor to see it! ”

"Oh? Mo Shilang has also heard of this case? The emperor turned his head to look at Mo Niancong. At a young age, he was promoted to the position of a waiter in the Criminal Department with his own intelligence, and he was really a rare talent, although Mo Zhifu was a confused official, but because of his love for the house and Wu, the emperor never felt sorry for him. With his help, Mo Zhifu must be able to solve the case quickly, since this is the case, there is no need to spend effort to blame him, so as not to frighten his confused head...... Thinking of this, the emperor smiled at Mo Zhifu and chatted to appease.

"Back to the emperor, considering that this case is very involved, the minister's father intends to let Weichen assist in handling this case, and the Master Shangshu of the Criminal Department has agreed, so Weichen is now sent by the Criminal Department to assist in this case." Mo Niancong replied in a solemn voice.

"So good! Father and son are of the same heart, and they will be able to solve this case quickly, what does Mo Zhifu think? The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Mo Zhifu, with a hint of non-denial in his tone.

"This is a natural ......," Mo Zhifu said in a low voice. Although Nian Cong helped, there was still no clue about this case, which was really anxious......

"Fathers and ministers must do their best! It's just that there are still many uncertainties in this case, and Wei Chen still needs to ask the two Shangshu masters for advice, but he is afraid that people will be light and can't get his wish......" After speaking, Mo Niancong looked at the two Shangshu with a light smile. The two of them were angry in their hearts, this little boy wanted to use the emperor to threaten us, it was really hateful!

After hearing this, the emperor pretended to be surprised and said: "You are ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate this case, how can anyone say it lightly? My two Aiqing are definitely not unreasonable people! ”

Ning Zhenhai only bowed slightly after hearing this, and nodded in agreement.

Duan Nantian, who was kneeling in front of the hall, couldn't help but say sharply after all: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something important to do!" ”

The emperor rubbed his forehead with his slender fingers, feeling a little unhappy, this old fox still let me rest in peace...... He waved his hand and motioned for him to continue.

"Back to the emperor, it is said that the suspect is actually the illegitimate daughter of Ning Shangshu, so even if the evidence is conclusive, Mo Zhifu is still forced by the power of Ning Shangshu, and is unwilling to announce the verdict and close the case. Ask the emperor to be the master of the old ministers! After finishing speaking, Duan Nantian couldn't cry.

The emperor was indeed pitiful when he saw that he was old and lost his son, but when he thought that the suspect was Ning Zhenhai's flesh and blood, and Ning Zhenhai was his confidant, but Duan Nantian was the person he wanted to entrap, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. I'm afraid that this matter will have to be taken care of...... Can't you have both?

Seeing that the emperor's eyes were closed and he was silent, Ning Zhenhai thought that he took Duan Nantian's slanderous words seriously, so he hurriedly stepped forward to argue: "The emperor is wise! Lord Duan's words are made out of nothing, don't say that Wechen has never recognized the suspect as a daughter, even if it is really my daughter, if she commits a crime, Wechen will definitely kill her relatives in righteousness, how can you force and oppress Mo Zhifu! Ask the emperor to see it! ”

"Righteous annihilation? It's ridiculous! Since Lord Ning is so well aware of the righteousness, why did he send Mo Zhifu to Duan Mansion to inquire about Xiao'er's grudge with others? Why is this not for the sake of exonerating the suspect? Duan Nantian sneered with tears in his eyes.

Ning Zhenhai was very surprised when he heard this, and looked at Mo Zhifu in confusion, but Mo Zhifu was putting his head on the ground at this time, not daring to face the rest of the people.

Mo Niancong continued: "Back to the emperor, as Weichen said, there are many unclear points in this case, so Weichen dared to ask Lord Duan for advice, hoping to clarify the clue and arrest the real culprit as soon as possible, but he was rejected by Lord Duan. ”

Mingjian Mingjian...... My courtiers don't know how to share my worries, and they want to blame me for this mess, it's really hateful! The emperor looked at the people in the hall coldly, and he had a decision in his heart. Since Ning Zhenhai resolutely dissociates himself from the suspect, presumably the suspect is definitely not the person he values, in this way, dealing with the suspect will not make Ning Zhenhai have different intentions, but also calm Duan Nantian's anger, and Duan Ning's two families will not have a grudge because of this, and there will not be much obstacle to him in the future, which is really the best solution...... It's just Mo Niancong alone, and it's very difficult to deal with...... "I certainly empathize with Duan Aiqing's pain of losing a child, but the legal principles can't be messed up, since Mo Aiqing's father and son are confident, I think it's very appropriate to take a month, what do you think Aiqing?" It was still a stern gaze, and a tone that could not be distinguished.

Although everyone in the hall was unwilling, they could only respond.
