Lu Jia continued: "You are going to dedicate me to the emperor, you say, isn't it the first time that the emperor dislikes me?" Will the emperor be angry? ”

The Lu family didn't know that Xiao Yan was behind him, but Lu Jia knew.

This has put too much energy into the investigation of the murderous female demon, and he has to be given a proper distraction.

Lu Jiaqiao smiled, "I heard that Xiao Yan's mother also sent her to the palace?" He is so pitiful, his mother let him be sent to the palace, and now like me, I am sent to the palace again. ”

Xiao Yan, who was originally so disgusted by Lu Jia's nonsense that he rolled his eyes in his heart, instantly took a step and looked at the front in shock.

How could Lu Jia know this!

Lu was equally shocked.

"Who told you?" Lu Shi suppressed his voice and fear, and asked Lu Jia.

Lu Jia pouted, "I heard it from home, you guys are really interesting, Xiao Yan and his mother gave birth to Xiao Yan, and they also sent people to the palace, isn't this an insult to the emperor, what the emperor wants, can it still be used by someone else?" ”

Lu Jia's words were vulgar and ugly,

But it was like an extremely thick needle, piercing Xiao Yan's temple sharply, stabbing his brain painfully.

His face turned pale in an instant, Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, and he was behind Lu Jia and Lu Shi without making a sound.

He thought that he had spent his time to find out the clues of the year, but he didn't expect that some of the truth fragments he had finally gotten would be told by Lu Jia so easily.

Even, say more than he knows.

He only found out that his mother had died in the palace once, and died the night she came out of the palace.

What I was thinking about was the emperor's various attention to him and various promotions in the past two years...... Even despite everyone's opposition, he was only twenty-three years old and promoted him to the secretary of the Criminal Department.

The Lu family scolded Lu Jia, "Don't talk nonsense, follow me to see Yu Guifei Niangniang, if you dare to mention these words again, I will sell you immediately!" ”

Lu Jia shrugged, "If you don't mention it, don't mention it, I'm just reminding you, maybe the emperor doesn't look down on me, your wishful thinking is in vain, it's not the first time I've been found out at that time, the emperor can't say that he will be angry again, and he will implicate you when the time comes." ”

Ever since the Lu clan knew that Xiao Yan had torn Lu Jia's clothes, they had already guessed what had happened to them.

Since she dared to take Lu Jia to Concubine Yu, she was completely sure.

As for the emperor's mind...... How could the emperor mind.

Lu Jia clicked until he arrived, and if he should hand it out, he handed it out, so he didn't mention this stubble anymore, and followed the Lu family straight to the bedroom of the Jade Guifei.

The courtiers were not allowed to enter the harem without being summoned, and Xiao Yan turned a corner at the second Yongdao fork and went straight to the imperial study.

Yesterday's explosion frightened the emperor to nightmares all night, early in the morning he was not in good spirits, and when he got off the court, Xiao Yan returned to the yamen of the criminal department with his front foot, and received a summons from the palace on his back foot, and the emperor wanted to see him.

Outside the door of the imperial study, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, and waited for the little chamberlain to push the door for him to enter.

The emperor sat behind the table sickly, the frightened strength had not yet eased, the whole person looked haggard and weak, Xiao Yan saluted, and the emperor leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him.

For a moment, there was silence in the imperial study.

Xiao Yan couldn't guess what was going on in the emperor's mind when he looked at him like this.

Anyway, his mind was full of Lu Jia's words just now.

The emperor looked at him for a quarter of an hour, then suddenly sighed and said, "How is the case investigated?"

His voice was a little hoarse.

Xiao Yan gathered his thoughts, clenched his fists, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have found out where the black powder came from, and people have also arrested it, but this matter is implicated in the household department, and the investigation is not particularly smooth." ”

In the early days of this dynasty, Hubu Shangshu impeached Xiao Yan, saying that he abused his power, declared personal vendettas, and arrested people at will.

Xiao Yan explained at the time that several officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs were arrested because those officials were suspected of the explosion.

It's just that the case has not been clarified, and Xiao Yan will not say it too clearly in the court.

The emperor's face was not very interested, and he took a sip of the teacup, "What is the problem over there?" ”

Xiao Yan said: "In the past few years, the household department has been colluding with the ruffians outside, and the ruffians collect protection fees, and the household department provides protection to the ruffians and hooligans, and then takes a cut from them. ”

The emperor knows this.

Otherwise, how can the treasury have so much money.

His eyelids didn't blink, waiting for Xiao Yan to continue.

Xiao Yan paused for a moment and said, "In this explosion, the black powder was brought by the leader of a ruffian from the black workshop and arranged for someone to be buried on the road at night.

According to his confession, two women gave him a large sum of money and drawings and told him to do what he was asked.

These two women, according to preliminary judgment, are the perpetrators of the Qianzhou murder case.

However, two or three days before the crime, the minister arrested him once, and ordered him to be beaten with fifty boards, but he was personally sent to the prison of the criminal department by the minister's personal entourage, but he was released on bail by the people of the household department.

In this, it is difficult to say that there is no kind of involvement, so the minister arrested the household official who bailed him out at that time, and the official confessed that another person asked him to do so, so after the interrogation, the minister arrested a total of three household officials. ”

"These three people are all related to the bombing?" The emperor only cares about the bombing case, and he has no interest in what protection fee is paid.

Xiao Yan said: "It is still under trial, and there are no specific results yet." ”

After a pause, Xiao Yan twisted his fingers and said, "Just now the minister entered the palace, and I saw that Xiao Yi's mother and her niece also entered the palace, thinking that she wanted to intercede for Xiao Yi."

It's not that Chen Tie is bloody and doesn't care about sibling affection, but Xiao Yi is too involved in this incident.

The murderer's way of doing evil is too arrogant, almost equivalent to a direct provocation to the imperial court, if His Majesty forgives Xiao Yi, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among many people. ”

The emperor squinted slightly, "Then what do you think, what should I do?" ”

Xiao Yan said: "The reason why Xiao Yi's mother brought her maiden niece into the palace should be very clear, either she wants to give this niece to a certain prince and ask him to help intercede, or she wants to send this niece to Your Majesty and beg Your Majesty for forgiveness."

The minister didn't dare to tell His Majesty how to do it, but the minister just wanted to be loyal to him, whether it was the prince or His Majesty, this woman couldn't stay. ”

The emperor waved his hand, "Over there, you can rest assured to investigate, I give you the greatest right, and I must arrest the criminal as soon as possible!" ”

With such a person who dares to bomb the imperial court team at large, the emperor can't sleep at night.

As for the Lu family bringing people into the palace, the emperor did not say anything.

When Xiao Yan said this, he couldn't say more, so he could only retire.

Jade Guifei's dormitory.

The Lu family took Lu Jiacai to the gate of the palace, and before he saw Concubine Yu, he was blocked by Concubine Ning.

"Come on, take this murderer down to this palace!"
