Chapter Seventy-Nine: Painstaking Efforts
"Missing?" Ye Qianhuai blurted out.
Li Wenqing's expression darkened, and he said: "According to the Gyeonggi Xiao Cavalry Guard, he escaped from prison during the arrest and interrogation. ”
"Prison break?" Ye Tianhuai sneered, it was really ridiculous, "The fourteen-year-old girl escaped from prison? ”
Li Wenqing was silent. He was born as a criminal officer, and he couldn't say it without evidence.
Ye Tianhuai knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he simply didn't ask more, but his expression became more and more gloomy.
"Who is in charge of this case in Jingzhao Mansion now?"
"This case involves the three members of the imperial court, and it has a great influence in Beijing, so it is tried by Jingzhao Mansion Yin himself."
Speaking of Yin Jiang Qiancheng of Jingzhao Mansion, Ye Tianhuai suddenly remembered that he was in front of Chengtian Gate with the official to assist in the evacuation of the wounded.
"Can Jiang Qiancheng's trial be fair?"
Li Wenqing pondered the wording and said, "Weichen thinks that it can be called fair. He paused for a moment and continued to explain, "The Criminal Department has proposed that Jingzhao Mansion Yin is an official position of the third grade, and Gu Haiwang, who is an official residence of the third grade, is a trial at a higher level and is not compliant, so the case should be raised to the trial level and transferred to the Criminal Department for trial." ”
Ye Tianhuai listened quietly, silently analyzing the situation in his heart.
From this point of view, Jingzhao Mansion Yin may not be Gu Shihai's person, at least not absolutely oriented to Gu Shihai.
"The Criminal Department has put pressure on Jingzhao Mansion several times, but Jiang Mansion Yin has not let go."
This was beyond Ye Tianhuai's expectations, Gu Shihai had a strong wrist, Jiang Qiancheng dared to detain his eldest son and not let him go, I am afraid that looking at the entire Shengjing, few people would dare to act against Gu Shihai so blatantly.
"He's so hard-tempered, huh?" Ye Tianhuai asked with a smile, with indescribable appreciation in his eyes.
"He said that this case was hand-picked by His Majesty and tried by Jingzhao Mansion, and it should not be handled in accordance with regulations."
Ye Qianhuai nodded and said, "This case must not be handed over to the Criminal Department. Li Qing, you are the supervisor of this case, and you can't let go. ”
"We're in command."
Ye Tianhuai thought for a while, and then said: "Li Qing, during your supervision and interrogation, you kept a copy of all relevant case files and confessions, and secretly presented them to me. ”
Li Wenqing raised his head and saw an unfathomable light reflected in the emperor's slightly drooping eyes.
He suddenly felt that the emperor seemed to be different from the last time he saw him in the Qinxian Palace.
Li Wenqing lowered his head and bowed: "Weichen understands." ”
——
It was already afternoon when Li Wenqing left, and Ye Tianhuai had lunch.
She didn't take a few bites before she stopped using her chopsticks.
"Your Majesty, do you think the food is unappetizing?" Aunt Fanghua asked from the side.
She still had a bandage on her left hand, which was a little inconvenient when eating, and Aunt Fanghua stood beside her with an empty bowl to help her pick up vegetables.
Ye Tianhuai shook his head, showed a helpless smile, and said, "I'm afraid that any delicacies placed in front of me now are tasteless." ”
Aunt Fanghua looked at her brows that had not been stretched and asked, "Your Majesty has something on your mind?" ”
Ye Tianhuai sighed, looked at the bright sunshine in the courtyard of Jingshou Palace with some distraction, and said with emotion: "Auntie, I saw two people in the morning. One is loyal but not calculating, and the other is smart but afraid of death. I was thinking if only the two of them could become one. ”
Aunt Fanghua laughed when she heard this, and said, "What if the two of them become one and become a person who has no plan and is afraid of death?" ”
Ye Tianhuai raised his head and looked at Aunt Fanghua quite seriously, pondered for a long time, and said, "It makes sense, this is something I didn't expect." ”
Aunt Fanghua smiled kindly at her: "Your Majesty, everything in this world can be so wishful, no one is perfect." ”
After speaking, Aunt Fanghua filled a bowl of soup for her, put it lightly in front of her, and said, "But isn't the person Your Majesty said who is loyal and brave and knowledgeable, not Mr. Lu?" ”
Ye Tianhuai was drinking the soup, and when he heard Aunt Fanghua talk about Lu Yanchen, he hurriedly swallowed it, raised his head and asked, "How is he?" Woke up? ”
"I heard Imperial Doctor Zhou say that I woke up once in the morning, but I fell asleep again."
"Is Grandpa Zhou still there?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
Aunt Fanghua nodded and said with a smile: "Guarding Mr. Lu every step of the way." ”
Ye Tianhuai put his mind at ease, pretended to be distressed, and said: "Grandpa Zhou has made great contributions this time, aunt, what do you say I should reward him?" ”
Aunt Fanghua looked at Ye Tianhuai's hanging left shoulder, and said, "Your Majesty obeys the doctor's advice and gets better as soon as possible, which is better than anything for Imperial Doctor Zhou." ”
Ye Qianhuai thought about it for a while, and immediately took a big sip of the bone broth in the bowl, and only after drinking it did she say, "Then I can eat more." Auntie, bring me another bowl! ”
Hearing that Ye Tianhuai had an appetite, Aunt Fanghua's eyes were overjoyed, and she immediately served her another big bowl of soup.
After a while, Ye Tianhuai's second bowl of soup had not been finished, and Li Baoquan came back.
Ye Qianhuai immediately put down the soup in his hand and asked Li Baoquan, "Is it still smooth?" ”
Li Bao was a little sweaty on the whole body, it seemed that he was in a hurry when he came back, he wiped the sweat with the corner of his sleeve and said: "Back to the master, there are some twists and turns, but there is no danger." ”
"Tell me more."
"Some of the right guards disobeyed the holy decree, saying that they would only recognize General Chu as the general of the armed guard after seeing the order of the commander of the forbidden army. But there are also many people who recognize General Chu, and the people on both sides first quarreled, and then moved again. Fortunately, General Chu was very skilled, and he easily took down the captain who led the trouble on the opposite side with his injuries, and finally stabilized the situation and successfully became the general of the armed guard. ”
Ye Qianhuai nodded and asked a seemingly inconsequential question: "What about Xu Liang's corpse?" ”
Li Baoquan was stunned for a moment and replied: "He has not yet been convicted of conspiracy and rebellion, and the body should still be parked in the guard." ”
"You wait and run again, go and send a message to Chu Dingguo, let him find a small time to go to the guard house tonight to worship Xu Liang, and worship like a dead brother, but don't let people know, go secretly."
Li Baoquan was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, as far as the old slave knows, General Chu and Xu Liang should not be familiar with each other. ”
Ye Qianhuai ignored him and continued: "After you bring it to the station, let the little eunuch under your hand keep an eye on him, find someone who is smart and clever and will not be discovered, and after seeing him go to the guard, he will discuss Chu Dingguo's whereabouts near the right yafu division, and lead the right yamen guards to the guard, so that they 'happen' to bump into Chu Dingguo who worships Xu Liang in the guard. ”
Li Baoquan suddenly understood what the emperor meant.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Majesty really took great pains for General Chu. ”
Ye Tianhuai sighed and said, "If he is half as smart as you, I don't have to bother so much." ”
But then he wouldn't be the current Chu Dingguo. Ye Qian said in his heart.
