Dali Temple, one of the five prisons of the Nine Temples, is located on the west side of the imperial city, close to the Shunyi Gate, and is the official office in charge of the trial of criminal and prison cases.

Hu Yan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, put an end to the affairs at hand for the time being, and pressed his forehead a little tiredly.

Guanzhong was only recently freed from the ravages of natural disasters, and the public security in Chang'an and its surroundings is facing a severe test.

Although Yongzhou Mansion and Chang'an and Wannian counties shared the pressure, the heavy affairs still made him haggard.

In addition, today's saint has a tough attitude towards the traditional family gatekeepers, and has investigated and prosecuted a group of children of the family who have committed crimes, and he, the person who "punishes the sword", has offended many powerful people at once......

Alas, I said tiredly.

Just as he was sighing, Lu Baiyan walked in.

Hu Yan cheered up and asked, "I heard that there are people from the Imperial City Division?" ”

Lu Baiyan replied: "I sent a deputy envoy and two entourages just for the bad guy case." ”

Hu Yan frowned when he heard this: "Is the murder of dozens of lives child's play?" These kids also want to intervene, I really don't know how thick the sky is! ”

Lu Baiyan said with a smile: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. ”

"Just release some unimportant information and send them away." Hu Yan was a little impatient.

At present, the affairs are complicated, how can I have time to mess around with a group of children.

Lu Baiyan knew that he had a lot of things to worry about, and it was inevitable that there would be something he couldn't consider, so he reminded him in a timely manner: "The person in charge of the Imperial City Division is Princess Changle on the surface, but in fact, it is a ...... that has been added by the Holy Lord today."

"What do you mean......" Hu Yan immediately came back to his senses after being reminded by him, "The Imperial City Division is actually the eyes and ears of the current saint, and the current saint is paying attention to the progress of the bad guy case through the Imperial City Division?" ”

"It is not yet known whether Your Majesty cares about bad people, but Your Majesty even handed over the hundred horses trained by himself to Princess Changle, which shows that Princess Changle is favored in every way and has high hopes."

Lu Baiyan continued: "Princess Changle and the Imperial City Division are also determined to forge ahead, and they are eager to come up with results, so they choose to take the bad guys first, and the bad guys disappear as a result.

Now that the bad guys have been overturned, Princess Changle and those princesses of the Imperial City Division will definitely not give up and will definitely continue to investigate. ”

Hu Yan nodded slightly: "Then in your opinion, how should I deal with the case of bad people in Dali Temple?" ”

Lu Baiyan thought for a while and said: "The bad people have been operating in Chang'an for many years, and the powerful people in Chang'an City have more or less some dealings with them, and the water of this case is ...... It's deep! ”

"Of course I know." Hu Yan had another headache when he thought about it.

If the case of the bad guy is investigated, I don't know how many powerful people he will offend, so he is also in a dilemma.

Lu Baiyan took the opportunity to speak: "I know that Hu Shaoqing is worried about this time, so I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

"Oh?" Hu Yan showed a look of attention, "Say it quickly!" ”

Lu Baiyan said: "It's easy to say, why don't we hand over the case of the bad guy to the Imperial City Division to handle?" ”

"This ......" Hu Yan's brows twisted again, "It's okay for those kids to mess around, where do they know how to handle cases?" ”

Lu Baiyan said unhurriedly: "I mean, we Dali Temple will take more responsibility in handling the case, and the limelight will be given to the Imperial City Division."

In this way, not only can you avoid offending people, but if the case is solved, it is equivalent to giving the Imperial City Division a big favor! ”

"Wonderful!" Hu Yan was immediately amazed.

Doing so is of course giving the credit to the Imperial City Division.

But you must know that giving up to the Imperial City Division is equivalent to giving up to Princess Changle, and there is a current saint behind Princess Changle!

This kind of opportunity to hand over favors and face is not casual.

Besides, the case of bad people is a hot potato at all, and it is not a big deal to hand it over.

"I'll leave this matter to you, find a way to push the Imperial City Division to the front of the stage, and Dali Temple will try its best to cooperate."

"The First Evolution"

In line with the principle of "whoever makes the idea will work", Hu Yan decided that Lu Baiyan would continue to contact the Imperial City Division.

And Lu Baiyan is known to be resourceful, and he is relieved to hand it over to him.

"I have arranged for people to accompany Deputy Envoy Luo of the Imperial City Division to investigate the scene outside the city, and the other party is not suspicious."

Lu Baiyan thought for a while and said: "He clearly knew that the silk silk left at the scene was a royal thing, but he still dared to investigate, so it can be seen that there must be a reliance."

Next, we will inform the Imperial City Division as soon as we have any clues, and provide necessary assistance, and see where they can go. ”

Hu Yan nodded.

He naturally understood the subtext in Lu Baiyan's words.

Investigating a case is often not the most difficult, the key is whether you have the determination and courage to investigate to the end!

"How is this Deputy Envoy Luo?" He asked suddenly.

"This person is a descendant of the late Luo Shixin, the Duke of Yanguo, who is straightforward and has no scheming." Lu Baiyan was already very careful about his words.

In fact, judging by his words and deeds, he looks like a reckless person.

"It's a bit of a father's air." Hu Yan muttered.

The two seemed to think of something, and neither spoke for a moment.

A moment later, someone came in to report, and Chen Si came to see him.

"I arranged for him to accompany the people of the Imperial City Division to the scene to have a look, but I didn't expect to come back so soon." Lu Baiyan explained to Hu Yan, and then asked Chen Sizhi to come in and speak.

After a while, the old errand who followed Luo Taisui walked in.

He gave a salute to Hu Yan and Lu Baiyan.

But it looks a little unnatural, and the mouth is very stiff.

"How's it going?" Lu Baiyan asked.

Chen Si said straightly: "Deputy Envoy Luo of the Imperial City Division saw the scene and decided that it was just a place to throw the corpse, and then came back. ”

Hu Yan and Lu Baiyan glanced at each other.

Of course, they knew that the first scene of the murder was not in the ruined temple.

Lu Baiyan asked again: "It's that simple?" Didn't you search the neighborhood for the actual murder site? ”

Chen Si said straightly: "Deputy Envoy Luo said that there is no need to look for it, the murder location is in Chang'an, so he came back, and ......"

Hu Yan couldn't help but interrupt him: "How did he conclude that the murder location was in Chang'an?" Is there any evidence? ”

Chen Sizhi was hesitating to tell all the information about the situation at that time, Lu Baiyan noticed that he didn't seem to have finished speaking, so he asked, "You just said it, and what?" ”

"And...... And ......"

Chen Sizhi's expression was cringe, and he didn't finish his words even after saying a few "ands".

But under the repeated urging of Hu Yan and Lu Baiyan, he finally couldn't bear the pressure, so he simply closed his eyes and said, "Deputy Envoy Luo said, let's send someone to check the right guard...... General of the Right Guard...... Zhang Liang, let's see if there is a convoy in his house passing by the official road near the broken temple in three days. ”

"What?!"

"What?!"

Hu Yan and Lu Baiyan cried out at the same time.
