Chapter 395: I Can't Afford to Gambling, and I Can't Afford to Lose
"They were all killed in their own homes, supposedly tortured, and the deaths were horrible, but I was not involved in the investigation, so I didn't see the scene. However, the abuse and killing of court officials, and more than one person, is a serious crime to exterminate the three clans. Xiao Song said.
Ran Yan suddenly leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that a certain prince wants to mutiny?" ”
Although the murder of the palace minister was very serious, it did not make Xiao Song so cautious, and even sent her and her children to Lanling for refuge.
Xiao Song was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his 'lips' curled, "This is one of them, but it's not the most important thing, the saint has this strength, and these princes are far inferior to the saint back then." ”
Li Shimin 'forced' Li Yuan to abdicate after the change of Xuanwu's 'gate', so he would naturally guard himself against that day.
Now Li Ke, who has the ability to initiate a mutiny, is managed by Li Shimin, and he can only rely on some obscure small actions and real efforts to improve his reputation and strength. Li Ke's wife is the Xiao family, and it is difficult to say whether Song Guogong was dismissed at the beginning, whether there was any meaning to prevent Li Ke.
And Li Tai, he himself does not have the ability to hold the military power, Li Shimin gave him the wife, is the 'daughter' of Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the Yan family is different from the Xiao family, they only have fame, but they have no strength to support a prince to usurp the throne.
In the absence of absolute force mutiny, the "Sacred Heart" is an important weight in the struggle for the throne.
Li Shimin admires Li Ke the most, but he favors Li Tai the most, Ran Yan doesn't know how much sincerity, maybe Li Tai is obedient and sensible, and he is amazingly 'beautiful', worthy of love, but he favors Li Tai excessively, and he does balance Li Ke's excellence. At least the important ministers of the DPRK and China did not dare to stand in line casually for a while.
So in retrospect, although Li Shimin's every move seems to be unintentional and seems to conform to nature, he has already firmly controlled the overall situation in his hands.
Li Shimin has the ability to 'force' the palace, and he can prevent others from 'forceing' him down.
Xiao Song saw that Ran Yan seemed to understand. said, "I heard that He Sizheng is in charge of the case this time, but I don't know if it's true or not." But the Holy One did summon him to see him a few times 'privately'. He Sizheng is a person...... I especially like to push the burden on the shoulders of others. ”
This incident clearly touches on sensitive issues, Xiao Song is a 'waiter' of the Criminal Department, and has solved many difficult cases. The strength is obvious to all, and it is bound to become the target of He Sizheng's key shirk. Even if you can't shirk it. He will definitely take him off and go into the water together.
"I, Xiao Yuezhi, have never dared to gamble. also asked himself if he had the ability to keep his wife and children. Xiao Song looked at Ran Yan and said softly, "But Ah Yan, even if there is a possibility of being implicated, I am not willing to leave you in Chang'an." It's just you and the child, I can't afford to gamble, and I can't afford to lose. ”
Ran Yan was moved in his heart. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay." ”
Ran Yan is very similar to Xiao Song in this aspect, she is not a person who is afraid of things, otherwise she would not take the road of forensic medicine, if there are no three children, she is bound to stay and face Xiao Song together, but as Xiao Song said, for her, there are only Xiao Song and children in this world. She can't afford to gamble, she can't afford to lose.
"It can be as little as half a year or as much as three or four years, and it is bound to change." Xiao Song sighed. felt a heavy weight on his 'legs', but it was Xiao Lao Er who dropped the thing in his hand and climbed onto him.
Xiao Song smiled and lifted him up from under his armpits with both hands, "I'll see, can we get fat?" ”
Xiao Lao Er waved his little hands happily, as if he was responding to him.
Seeing that his brother was happy, he happily patted the mat with his little hands, grinning without teeth or eyes.
Ran Yan looked at her crescent-like eyes, her heart warmed, and she stretched out her hand and said, "Weak, come to A-Niang." ”
I don't know if I understand, but when I saw Ran Yan stretching out his hand, I crawled over tremblingly.
Ran Yan didn't wait for her to climb up, she reached out and hugged her, and her weak and happy little feet kicked on her 'legs' a few times.
"Only Shu'er is the biggest." Ran Yan glanced back at Boss Xiao, who was still asleep.
Xiao Shu was the eldest of the three when he was born, and now Ran Yan has added vegetable puree, egg yolks and other supplementary meals to them every day, instead of just eating 'milk', Xiao Shu is also the fastest growing among the three of them, and now it seems that it is already the length and weight that a child born in a single cell should achieve.
The size of the three children has widened the distance, and the appearance seems to be a little different, and every time I see the three of them from the oldest to the smallest, lying down in turn, or sitting there to play, it is very interesting.
The husband and wife teased the two little ones for a while, and when they saw that they were sleepy, they hugged and gently patted them to sleep.
After putting the two children down, Ran Yan and Xiao Song got up and went to walk under the corridor next to them.
Xiao Song glanced back at the three children, and quickly reached out to hold Ran Yan's hand.
"They don't understand, you are always '' blindly." Ran Yan smiled helplessly.
Xiao Song said, "But in front of the child...... He should be like a father. ”
Ran Yan didn't answer, just held his hand.
"I said a long time ago that I would go to Guanshan with you, and now I haven't fulfilled my promise." Xiao Song has always been obsessed with this matter, but there are always things involved, and he can't do what he wants.
"The days are still long, wouldn't it be better for the family to go in the future." Ran Yan feels that Xiao Song has done a good job, Datang has many husbands who are afraid of their wives, but not all of them can be as careful and considerate as Xiao Song, Ran Yan is very content, and cherishes the present.
"Hmm." Xiao Song replied with a smile.
Ran Yan turned to ask, "Is it safe to go back to Lanling?" ”
"Without Mrs. Dongyang, this family has no threat to you and the child, and with the father here, there is nothing to do, but I'm afraid it will be hard for you." Xiao Song said apologetically.
Ran Yan returned to his home, and he was bound to take the child and 'serve' Weng Po, even if Song Guogong and Dugu didn't need her to serve tea and water, but it was inevitable to set the province in the morning and dusk, the family was big, and the rules were big, especially the Dugu family was a person who was particularly careful about this.
The Dugu clan is a strict self-discipline, even stricter than the discipline type, for example, the three-year filial piety period to be kept, even if she and Mrs. Tai have been secretly competing for decades, she will still give up the housekeeper's powers, meticulously keep filial piety, and will never be in charge of the east and the west, otherwise when Ran Yan is pregnant, where will it be the turn of others to stuff the concubine?
"I was originally lazy in Chang'an, and it is right to 'serve' my parents, not to mention, they gave birth to you. I have to be grateful. Ran Yan's tone was normal, she said whatever she wanted in her heart, and she didn't have the slightest consciousness of saying love words.
But even so. Xiao Song's heart was also like pouring a honeypot, and somewhere in his heart couldn't help but 'commotion', he lowered his head and whispered. "Madame, put the child next door tonight......"
Such an obvious hint. Ran Yan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and hummed casually.
Xiao Song smiled happily and reached out to stop her waist.
The faint peilanxiang on Ran Yan's body and the 'milk' fragrance 'mixed' to create a wonderful taste, and Xiao Song further encircled her in his arms.
The breeze shook the lotus pond and swayed.
Ge Lan looked at the pair of beautiful people under the porch, and was reluctant to disturb, so she stopped outside for a while. Only then did he cough lightly and approached, hanging his head and saying, "Lang Jun, madam, someone from the palace, Mrs. Xuan is here." ”
Xiao Song was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what happened?" ”
"The slave and maid knocked on the side and asked, the eunuch didn't know anything about this matter." Gelan replied.
Xiao Song had a bad premonition in his heart, Princess Jinyang is now in much better health. When he came back, he saw Su Fu taking her to watch the scenery on the city tower, so he shouldn't suddenly get sick.
At this moment, Liu Qingsong hurriedly ran in from the other end of the corridor, and his face was not very good. "Kuro!"
"Oops!" Liu Qingsong saw the child sleeping on the water pavilion, and hurriedly lowered his voice, not caring about wiping his sweat, "I heard that there was another death in the East Palace, this time in the palace!" His Majesty ordered the news to be blocked and summoned me to an autopsy! ”
Liu Qingsong took turns off today, obviously just got the news, so he hurriedly changed into his green 'color' official uniform, and his belt was not tied properly, and his body was scattered and 'messy', like vegetable leaves beaten by early autumn frost.
Xiao Song's face changed slightly, he remembered that Ran Yan had inspected Dou Siniang's body in front of He Sizheng, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, damn He Sizheng! Even if you pull him into the water, you won't even let go of the 'woman'!
However, Xiao Song can't understand the kind of officialdom anymore, as long as he can solve the problem, not to mention pulling a 'female' person as a stepping step, it is not strange to pull a group of 'female' people to be a stepping step.
Ran Yan also realized what happened to enter the palace this time.
Since the Holy Lord summoned him, he must not go, Xiao Song immediately instructed Liu Qingsong and Ran Yandao, "You just need to be like an experiment, don't talk more about the case, if you can grasp the degree, just give them fifty percent of the clues, and kick the ball back to He Sizheng's body, this matter is his responsibility, not as cheap as being a shopkeeper." ”
After a pause, he said, "It's better for you to go for an autopsy." ”
Xiao Song's eyes were slightly heavy, and he pondered in his heart, as long as Ran Yan and Liu Qingsong could detect the key clues and hide them for the time being, he would find a way to secretly poke the clues in front of Shengshang and He Sizheng, and 'forced' He Sizheng to quickly break the case, and he would not have to be involved at that time.
"Remember, keep key clues hidden." Xiao Song admonished.
Ran Yan also knew that being involved was definitely the end of cannon fodder, and there was no justice in this matter, so she also agreed with Xiao Song's words and weighed it carefully.
After Xiao Song's words, Liu Qingsong seemed much calmer, straightened out the official uniform on his body, and after Ran Yan changed into Zhai clothes, he got into the carriage in the inner 'door' and rushed to the palace.
Ran Yan began to think about the murderer of this case in the carriage, is it Li Tai? Or Li Ke? Or ......
"Ran Yan, this matter is recorded......" Liu Qingsong's demeanor was extremely cautious at this time, he stretched out his hand and dipped some herbal tea in the pot on the table, and wrote two words on the surface: Prince. Then it was quickly erased.
This matter is not clear to Ran Yan, but there is indeed a record in the history books, saying that Li Chengqian was dissatisfied with the palace ministers and often designed to 'yin' harm them. As for how "yin' harmed" and whether it harmed human life, it was not written, but now it seems that there is an answer.
That's why Liu Qingsong was in a hurry, in case the clues were obvious, he pointed directly at the prince, but He Sizheng didn't dare to take responsibility, so he pushed the matter on their heads......
"There's no need to worry about it, since He Si is right, so can we." What Ran Yan means is that He Sizheng can hide the truth, and they can't do it without reason. Moreover, since Xiao Song didn't think about it like this, he must be sure that the case is not so simple, and it is not difficult to hide the results obtained. (To be continued)
