Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Game
In the Yating on the outskirts of Nanyang Kingdom, two old men were playing against each other on the chessboard.
One of them is Mo Hua, and the other is Nanyang Guodang's left minister, Xu Chang'an.
"Mo Xiang's move is jumping into Xu's fire pit." Xu Changan looked at Mo Hua's sunspot that fell on the high eye, and his face was suspicious.
"Is it the so-called not entering the tiger's den to get the tiger?" A smile appeared on Mo Hua's face, as if he had already found a way to crack it.
Xu Changan frowned, obviously it was a dead end, but looking at Mo Hua Chengzhu's chest, he was a little jealous, and he didn't dare to fall for a long time.
"Xu Xiang, you are not so indecisive!" Mo Hua urged.
Just as Xu Changan was about to settle down, a small servant from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion arrived in a hurry, and then whispered a few words in Xu Changan's ear.
After Xu Changan heard this, he frowned and put the white piece in his hand into the chess box.
"Mo Xiang, I'm really sorry, there are some important matters to deal with in Xu's house, and I will personally come to the door to finish this endgame with Mo Xiang another day."
After saying that, Xu Changan hurriedly got up and left with the little guy.
Mo Hua looked at the chessboard in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and said with a long sigh: "This old fox, I can't afford to lose..."
In the study room of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Chang'an's only daughter Xu Man has been waiting here for a long time.
"What's the matter?" Xu Changan pushed open the door of the study and sat on the chair beside Xu Man.
"Daddy!" Xu Man looked at a loss.
"Is it for Chen Ce's business?" Xu Changan saw through Xu Man's mind at a glance.
"Daddy... How do you know? ”
"Chen Zhimin's case is so lively now, who doesn't know in the capital?" Xu Changan's face was a little ugly.
Xu Man made a cup of tea for Xu Chang'an, and said in a low voice: "Dad, didn't you send someone to report to Dali Temple before?" How..."
Xu Changan took the teacup and skimmed the tea leaves on it with the lid.
"This Dali Temple, there are a lot of means."
"Dad, what do you mean by that?"
Xu Changan took a sip of hot tea, "Dali Temple has closed the case as a suicide, this is Qin Sicheng's explanation to me, as for what the people think about this case, it is no longer a matter of Dali Temple." ”
Xu Man frowned slightly, "Dad means that Qin Sicheng instructed people to take a walk?" ”
"Such a quick time set off a storm all over the city, he doesn't have such a big ability, I'm afraid there is a master behind him."
"Dad, what should I do? If this matter reaches the ears of the saint, and the Dali Temple is allowed to review it at that time, then Ce Lang..."Xu Man's eyes were filled with tears, and his delicate appearance was really distressing.
Xu Changan only has Xu Man, a daughter, so he has always been very fond of her. Seeing Xu Man crying, Xu Changan didn't feel good in his heart.
I saw his eyes narrow, revealing a fierce look, "Since he wants to play, I'll play with him!" ”
The next day, Nanyang Palace, Xuanzheng Palace.
Su Xiong sat on the dragon chair, holding a book in his hand, his face solemn.
"I heard that there was a mysterious case in Shangjing recently, but is there such a thing?"
Qin Sicheng moved to the center of the hall with the Chao Wat in his hand, "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed a case, which is quite bizarre. ”
"What's the case?"
"The murder case of Chen Zhimin on Anren Street, after investigation, this case is indeed a suicide."
"But how did I hear that this case is murder?" As Su Xiong spoke, his eyes kept staring at Qin Sicheng.
It seems to be a question, but it is actually a question.
Qin Sicheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I don't know who claimed to have cracked the secret room method at the scene of the crime, so the people will have a lot of debate about this case. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Su Xiong raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be very interested in this person who cracked the secret room, "Fengchen, go check it out." ”
"Yes." One of the guards beside Su Xiong answered.
Fengchen is Su Xiong's personal guard, one of the strongest people in Nanyang Kingdom's martial arts, it is rumored that he has a skill, ten steps to kill, with him by his side, no one can get close to Su Xiong.
"What does Zhong Aiqing think about this case?" Su Xiong glanced at everyone in the audience.
"Your Majesty." As the words fell, Huo Ping, the secretary of the Criminal Department, moved to the front of the hall.
"Huo Shangshu, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, since this case has been closed, there must be sufficient evidence in Dali Temple. The rumors are nothing more than rumors, and there is no conclusive evidence that this case is murder. ”
"The minister thinks that since the case is closed, it can't be easily reviewed, so as not to damage the status of Dali Temple in the hearts of the people!"
Su Xiong frowned, "That makes sense." ”
"Your Majesty!" Xu Changan took a step forward.
"Zuo Xiang, what do you want to say?"
"The minister thinks that since the people have objections to this case, it should be investigated thoroughly!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Sicheng was very surprised, and couldn't help tilting his head to look at Xu Changan beside him. He was the one who said that the case was closed that day, why is he still the one who wants to be retried now?! Qin Sicheng was confused.
"What do you mean by that?" Su Xiong asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, since someone claims to have cracked the secret room, it means that there is a possibility of murder in this case, if it is really murder, how can the murderer be allowed to go unpunished?"
"Now the people's grievances are boiling, if Dali Temple ignores it, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the people."
After Xu Chang'an finished speaking, everyone in the audience seconded the proposal.
Su Xiong thought for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Qin Sicheng, I order you to investigate this case immediately, the Criminal Department, and the Shangjing Mansion will co-organize, and within three days, I want a satisfactory result!" ”
"Minister, Commander!"
"Minister, Commander!"
Su Xiong ordered Dali Temple to review Chen Zhimin's case, and the news soon reached Li Yunji's ears.
Qin Xi'er and the others all gathered in the Li Mansion.
"It's okay, I'm stunned! It's only been a few days, and my father has ordered a thorough investigation of this case! Where did you come from such a big skill?! Su Ling patted Li Yunji on the back fiercely.
"Thank you for helping me again." Qin Xi'er said shyly.
"Uncle is uncle!"
……
Everyone's words and words are all praises for Li Yunji, but Li Yunji didn't say a word from beginning to end, looking preoccupied.
Qin Xi'er noticed his strange appearance and asked with a little worry, "You, what's wrong?" ”
Li Yunji frowned and hissed, "I always feel that something is wrong." ”
When they heard this, they were silent.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xi'er asked.
"Don't you think it's going too well?"
"Smooth, isn't it?" Jiang Kui looked puzzled.
"Since that person can close the case in Dali Temple, he must have a great background, and it stands to reason that he should stop this matter. So Dali Temple shouldn't be able to review so quickly. ”
"You mean, there's fraud in this?" Qin Xi'er leaned forward and frowned.
Li Yunji nodded and looked at Qin Xi'er with a serious face: "I always have a sense of foreboding. ”
"Lord Shaoqing!"
As soon as Li Yunji's voice fell, the voice of a small house in Dali Temple came from outside the door.
"Someone, someone turned themselves in! ……”
