Chapter 144 Take!

Du Chuke rushed to the palace from Yankangfang, waited at the door of the imperial study for an hour, and the palace people reported that the emperor was discussing state affairs with the adults inside, although he was anxious, he could only wait outside.

Li Shimin was indeed talking to Fang Qiao in the imperial study, but he was not talking about state affairs.

"Emperor Shengming, twenty-eight people died mysteriously overnight, the criminal department is not able to find out, if it is determined to be a murder case and not solved, it will cause people to worry after it is reported, the literati are in turmoil, and it is not conducive to governance, it is better to close the case as soon as possible, it is better to say that sudden death is stronger than murder, but," Fang Qiao glanced up at Long Yan after the case, "It's just that this will affect the reputation of King Wei, and the real murderer is at large." ”

"Isn't it unreasonable for a man to be held accountable for something that happened to him?" Li Shimin flipped through a book of folds and said without raising his head, "Aiqing also went to the big library to see it, but did he find any clues." ”

"The minister is incompetent and fails to find anything different." Fang Qiao's mouth was bitter, this is a strange case, if he can find anything, he doesn't have to be careful to sell his mouth here, saying that Li Tai's reputation has been damaged, but he knows very well that once Li Tai is burdened with this crime, it is impossible to overturn the case, then what will follow is the overwhelming suppression of all forces, and he is not ruthless to Li Tai, but the newly married Princess Wei is really his own flesh and blood of someone in his room.

"It has nothing to do with Qing," Li Shimin frowned, and said, "It's the group of people in the Criminal Department, there are a few good seedlings in the new department this year, and I am considering whether to transfer it over to practice." ”

Seeing that he changed the topic, Fang Qiao had to follow his words first, and instead talked about some top-notch talents in this year's imperial examination, from the Criminal Department to the Ministry of Officials, just as Li Shimin mentioned the secretary of the Ministry who was still vacant, the little yellow door outside the door came to report again:

"Your Majesty, King Wei asks to see you."

Li Shimin stopped writing, raised his head, raised his eyebrows and seemed to say to himself, "It's not that he has lifted his ban, why is he still in the palace," and glanced at Fang Qiao, who was standing there with his head down, put down his pen, and said, "Xuan." ”

"Yes."

Du Chuke, who was talking to Li Tai impatiently outside, didn't say a few words, and watched him being led into the imperial study, and he had to stand in the sun and bask in the sun, but fortunately, the sun was setting, and it was not as hot as at noon, so as not to make him faint from heat stroke.

Yi Yu temporarily appeased the crowd in front of the Literature Museum, but she persuaded her a few times, but the crowd refused to disperse, and there would still be discordant whispers below, and she couldn't do anything about this, as long as she didn't break into the Literature Museum like she did at that time. So he brought two chairs out, sat and talked with the old woman who had died, and waited for Du Chuke to return from the palace.

It's not that she likes to show her face in public, but Gao Zhixian went into the museum to rest, if she no longer has a figure, no one will be allowed to incite her, and the seemingly stable people will make trouble again, so they simply sit at the door of the literature museum as a door god.

Seeing the day by day, she became more and more anxious, but there was no way to be anxious, she had no right to try the case, and second, she couldn't act rashly, Gao Zhixian didn't take her as the "Princess of Wei" in her eyes at all, and even her laws that were arrested at the time of the unitary time were also gambling on his contempt - the case that the criminal department couldn't solve, what progress could there be, to put it bluntly, she took off Li Taiguan's hat in front of her name, and she, the princess, was nothing.

The old woman beside her chattered for an hour, and Yu Yu made a listening appearance, but her eyes looked at the crowd on the street, several carriages across the street, and the vague figures on the teahouse opposite, and calculated the beginning and end of this murder over and over again in her heart.

"Princess, it's almost time," the voice came from behind, and Yi Yu's face froze, and he stood up and turned to look at Gao Zhixian, who led several officials with pen and paper books to the door.

"Master Gao," the two of them stood not far away, and they could hear each other talking when their voices were lowered, and Yi Yu looked at the crowd that was originally sitting in the streets and alleys with the sunset, and said:

"You must not have read the manuscripts prepared by Kun Yuanlu, right?" Previously, Li Tai had several drafts copied and sent to various ministries for reading.

"Gao is not talented, and he has no hobby for geoscience."

"That's right," Yi Yu nodded, "When it comes to geology, it mostly makes people feel boring, and I didn't like this science before. ”

Gao Zhixian turned his head to look at her and said, "Boring? This is really not for the princess. ”

Yi Yu looked at him, touched his nose a little childishly, and said, "I was really not interested at first, to tell you the truth, I like to read some essays, such as "Travels to the West Mountain", and the four books and five classics of this serious knowledge, half of which I will have a headache after reading for a long time, when I was a child, my family was poor, and I couldn't even afford to buy books, but then the environment was better, and I used money to buy miscellaneous books for a few months. ”

Rumors about the relics, when Lu Zhongzhi opened the ancestral hall seriously, let their family of four recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and the famous and promising families in Chang'an City were invited to the banquet, listening to this Princess Wei take the initiative to mention private matters, Gao Zhixian's mind moved, and he continued:

"I heard that the princess's family is in Shudi?"

"Exactly, it's a coincidence, it's pitiful, let us recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors by coincidence, otherwise I would still be a peasant girl now," Yi Yu turned his head and saw the interest in his eyes, so he told him the life experience and the recognition of relatives made up by Old Man Lu at the beginning, in great detail, and interspersed with some "private affairs" of the Lu family to lead him to listen.

Gao Zhixian listened with relish, until Gao Zijian, who saw them talking happily not far behind them, stepped forward impatiently and interrupted her narration:

"Dad, the hour has passed, hurry up and close the case and let the corpse be taken away."

Yi Yu was talking about the piece of jade that made their ancestors and grandchildren recognize each other, but when he didn't hear Gao Zijian's words, he also said to Gao Zhixian, "That piece of jade is rare, I can't say what kind of jade it is, I have heard that Master Gao is well-informed, and the jade happened to be not brought with me today, otherwise I want to ask you to help me identify it." ”

"Oh? What style of jade? Gao Zhixian asked curiously.

"Dad, the hour has come." Gao Zijian couldn't hold his breath and raised his voice.

Yi Yu ignored him, stretched out his hand and said, "Such a big piece is a red jade pur, uncarved, but even the jade skin on the outside is more delicate than ordinary jade." ”

"Ruby, that-"

"Dad" Gao Zijian glared at Yu Yu, eager to block this woman's mouth.

Gao Zhixian grabbed before Yi Yu spoke again, raised his hand to stop Gao Zijian's words, straightened his face and returned to that alienated appearance, and stretched out his hand to Yi Yu to lead inward: "Gao sold Wei Wang Ye a favor, and he delayed with you for a long time, but the case is finally going to be closed, and I also ask the princess to step aside, let Gao handle the case, and disperse the people here." ”

The motive was revealed, but Yi Yu didn't move half a step under his feet, and asked with a straight face, "As the head of the criminal department, don't you want to find out the truth in the face of such a big case, if you give me a chance, I will definitely finish this case." ”

Gao Zhixian shook his head, "Your Majesty has an edict, and the lower officials dare to disobey." ”

"The time has not yet passed, and the adults are willing to give me half an hour, and I will let the case come to light." Yu Yu put down her body and pleaded.

"The case has been settled, there are confessions from the scholars of the Literature Museum, and more than 20 corpses are uninjured and traceless, proving that this is not a homicide, how else can it be investigated."

"Do you want me to check it, or don't you dare to let me check it?"

Seeing that she was so difficult, Gao Zhixian pulled down his face, turned his head sideways to summon the official, and said stiffly, "Come on, escort the princess to the side to rest." ”

Seeing several officials who straddled the knife around, Yi Yu also had a cold face, waved his sleeves, and reprimanded angrily:

"Stand Down"

Her voice was scolded, full of momentum, those officials were stunned and didn't dare to step forward, but everyone outside the hall found that the door was wrong, and the commotion started again, Gao Zhixian squinted his eyes, stared at Yi Yu and said, "What does this mean, princess?" ”

"Lord Gao asked knowingly, since you don't want to help the deceased clear his name, then the concubine will overstep," Yi Yu didn't give him a good face anymore, raised his chin, took a few steps back, raised his left hand on one side, and said in a loud voice:

"Come on, please invite a few adults from the Criminal Department to retry the case in front of the big library."

"Yes"

There was a deafening response, and the palace guards who were still guarding the door below did not hesitate to turn around with guns and spears, and surrounded a group of frightened criminal department officials, including Gao Zhixian, with a few clicks, and two more people were guarding the jade in front of and behind the jade, seeing this change, the people below were already dumbfounded.

"You are so bold" Gao Zijian protected his father with one hand, glared and roared, "Come on, take down these disobedient people"

Gao Zhixian didn't have time to stop it, and the officials of the criminal department who had seen the bad situation also swarmed up, and surrounded all the people including Yu Yu at once, and the guards of the Wei Wangfu were naturally not vegetarians, and as soon as the spear was extended, those officials were separated from Zhang Yuan and did not dare to step forward.

"Xiaoyu" Cheng Xiaofeng, who was standing across the street, hurriedly left the horse, stepped on the head of the person in front of the hall again and again, and blocked in front of Yi Yu in a flash, too late to talk to her, afraid that people would slander her, so he whipped away the official who was blocked, and just nervously protected her.

"It seems that Princess Wei is going to resist the decree and disrespect," Gao Zhixian put aside the eldest son who was blocking in front of him, looked at the relict jade who was protected by several guards with a gloomy face, and took out the momentum of being an important minister of the court, and changed it to others who were afraid that he would not be able to raise his head for a long time.

But Yu Yu often stays by the side of Li Tai, a person with low pressure, and he is a person who has experienced life and death, how can he be afraid of him, he also raised his hand, motioned to the guards to get out of the way, and stepped forward in two steps, Ling Ran stared at Gao Zhixian with a glance, and said coldly:

"Nonsense, there is a decree in the emperor's edict, ordering you to find out the case and close it in three days, but you disregard human life, do not distinguish between right and wrong, and treat a murder as an ordinary case, I have the heart to help you close the case, but you are selfishly obstructed, who is the one who resists the decree and disrespects"

"Good, good" Gao Zhixian was tripped by her junior in public, his face turned yellow, his anger rose sharply, he waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Come on, take down this group of troublemakers to this official"

In the surprise of the remaining jade, there were originally two sides in front of the door, he gave an order, but I don't know where dozens of people came out of the hall, and they were outflanked and surrounded at once, and the pressure on the palace guards increased sharply

The people below have long been in an uproar, and the closely protected Yu Yu bit her lower lip and looked at the turmoil, how could she use force if she was not forced to do so, but the experience of martial arts is still shallow, but Gao Zhixian was already on guard, she repented in her heart, and in just one breath, she went through several thoughts and hearts, hating herself for not being able to help Li Tai after all, thinking about saving the situation, she clenched her fist and let go, and shouted in a dumb voice:

"It's a mistake to stop—" Before a misunderstanding could be shouted, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the congested people rushed to open a road, and they heard a scream:

"King Wei has arrived, Lord Fang has arrived".
