Sure enough, I listened to Lord Jin speak: "You don't know Ge San, but you and that Ge Wenbin have the grace of knowing and appreciating." If you hadn't been promoted, he would still be just a small official, but now he is the chief secretary of Luoyang Mansion. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Hua An to answer, Lord Jin continued: "The Ge family has such a person as Ge Wenbin. Therefore, the Ge family is thinking of your kindness, just talking about this Ge San, some people have seen that since you returned to Beijing from Luoyang, you have been to the Hua family many times when you served as the secretary of the household department. Why do you say you don't know it now, do you think anyone believes you when you say this? ”

"Lord Jin, you have to speak reasonably, Ge Wenbin is an errand under me, but he is also an official of the imperial court, and he is also assessed by the officials every year, and I have no personal relationship." Hua An said and looked at Taifu Siqing.

Suddenly, someone spoke: "Your Majesty, what is happening in the capital now is also strange, and everything is as if you have seen it, and you can't pick Huada." First of all, there were six murders in the royal mansion next door to Washington, one of which was still the Hua family's small servant, and three heads appeared in the Hua family. Now another one has died at the back door of the Hua family, and this one is still carrying a human head. And there is still a relationship with the people of Huada, and now there is everything in the capital. ”

Hearing this, Ruizong also looked at Hua An and asked, "Where is Jingzhao Mansion?" ”

Lord Chen stood up tremblingly: "The minister is here." ”

"What's going on at the back door of Washington?" Ruizong just asked.

Jingzhao Mansion immediately returned: "In the second half of last night, Jin Wuwei, who was guarding Washington, heard a miserable scream, and when he reached the back door, he saw a person lying on the ground, and he was already out of breath. There is also a burden in his hand, and when the bag is opened, there is a human head inside. ”

"Somebody did that!" The more Ruizong listened, the more angry he became, and the dead man was still holding a human head.

Lord Chen didn't even dare to come out: "Jin Wuwei hurriedly went to chase him, but he didn't see anyone, and the minister had already sent people to investigate one by one, and as long as he caught a suspicious person, he would be taken to the yamen." ”

Suddenly, without waiting for Ruizong to speak, Taifu Siqing changed his words and said: "The capital is so big, when will it take to catch someone like Lord Chen." According to the minister's opinion, this case should be handed over to the Criminal Department, after all, it implicates the three members of the imperial court. ”

is not biting Hua'an, but to hand over the case to the Criminal Department.

Now that the prince of Ning Guohou is in Jingzhao Mansion, even Chen Longji can't sit still, after all, Ning Guohou is the maiden family of Concubine Yunbian, so he is his foreign family.

The reason why Taifu Siqing was asked to mention this matter today was to send this case to the Criminal Department.

Originally, because of Zuo Zhengguang's case, Ruizong did not let the Criminal Department intervene in order to help the prince.

But now it's different, and Yunxiang has been involved.

Since Yun Xiang entered Jingzhao Mansion, Concubine Yun panicked when she got the letter, and she didn't dare to hide it, and directly told the prince about Yun Xiang's murder.

Chen Longji is so smart, he knows that Princess Taiping has wanted to bring down him, the crown prince, for a long time, if Yunxiang can't resist it now, Jing Zhaoyin will confess this matter. Princess Taiping will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and must find a way to get involved with him.

So the first thing he did now was to think of a way to return the case to the Criminal Department.

As soon as Jingzhao Mansion heard this, his heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he wanted the emperor to open his mouth to give this life to the Criminal Department, but he didn't want to do this.

Why, it's not because, if this case is handed over to the Criminal Department, you can breathe a sigh of relief if you throw off a hot potato. But it's also equivalent to admitting it, it's useless to be yourself, you can't even handle a case, I'm afraid that the hot potato will be thrown away, and this black gauze hat can't be saved.

Suddenly they didn't dare to say anything.

However, Cui opened his mouth to look at the Taifu Siqing, and said lukewarmly: "What Lord Jin said is a little interesting, Lord Jin mentioned that someone died at the back door of Washington Mansion today, and then said that Ge San's brother Ge Wenbin has a relationship with Lord Hua, and then asked the emperor to hand over the case to the Criminal Department for trial." Lord Jin said one sentence after another, but the minister was a little puzzled. ”

"Master Cui, it's been so long since this case, Jingzhao Mansion doesn't even have a clue until now, and another one died last night. This case should be handed over to the Criminal Department, isn't it that Master Cui doesn't want the Criminal Department to take over the case, for fear of having something to do with him? "Taifu Siqing is not a vegetarian, and immediately reversed.

It is true that Cui will definitely not want the Criminal Department to take over this case, the Criminal Department is the prince's person, Cui is related to this case, and now the two people involved in the case are both princes. Taifu Siqing proposed to hand over the case to the Criminal Department, and anyone could hear it, what did he mean.

I'm afraid that the prince wants to rescue his two brothers-in-law.

The prince wants to rescue people, Cui doesn't care, but this case must be closed if the murderer is found.

If you enter the Criminal Department, it will be up to the prince to decide what to do at that time.

Cui is not stupid and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Zhengguang, the son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, also died in this case, if the Shangshu of the Criminal Department hears this case, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will let others gossip." In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to hand over the case to Dali Temple, and it is most appropriate for Dali Temple to try it. ”

Hearing this, Taifu Siqing and Shangshu of the Criminal Department both looked at Cui, and a trace of coldness flashed in their eyes.

There is no one stupid in this room, they are all old foxes, who doesn't know that Dali Siqing is under the door of Princess Taiping.

Ruizong looked at the two groups of people, and he was about to pinch them up in the court, and then saw Chen Longji standing there looking at his nose and nose, and he didn't say anything.

Very helpless: "Enough, don't talk about it, since this case was taken over by Jingzhao Mansion, then Jingzhao Mansion will continue to hear it." ”

At this moment, Liu Youqiu, who had been silent, opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that there is no problem with whether it is the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, or Jing Zhaoyin trying this case. The minister just had a doubt, why this case was related to Lord Shangshuhua of the household department one after another. ”

Liu You begged for a word, and immediately brought the topic back to Hua'an.

Yao Chong, the old minister standing in front of his head, heard the words and said: "It's just too coincidental, the Wang family's house is next door to the Hua family, what happened to this house, and it's not the Hua family's house, is there anything else with the Hua family?" ”

"What Yao Xianggong said is that it is true that the Wang Mansion is just next door to the Hua family, no matter what happens inside, it has nothing to do with the Hua family. But it was just that a small servant of the Hua family died in the royal mansion, and the head was smashed and thrown into the Hua family's house. Then two human heads were found in the swill bucket of the Hua family, and now a person has died at the back door of Washington, not to mention a human head, and he has some relationship with the Hua people, which makes it difficult to say. Liu Youqiu looked at Yao Chong after speaking.

Hearing this, Yao Chong snorted coldly: "This is just someone planting a blame, is it possible that anyone can be stupid enough to kill someone at the door of their own house, this is too bold." ”

"Not only bold, but also extremely clever stratagem." Liu Youqiu immediately took Yao Chong's words.
