Chapter 217: Retrenchment

There was a murder in the capital.

This is what Cheng Huai told Wei Shu.

And this case is the reason why Cheng Wei did not return for several days.

According to Cheng Huai, the stakes of this case are so important that it has been stabbed in front of the official family, and the Son of Heaven has also personally inquired about it. However, about the details of this case, because the matter involves the court and has many secrets, it is difficult for him, a student of Taixue, to say much.

Cheng Ji also echoed his statement, and the brothers also said that the Joint Investigation Department seemed to be some kind of taboo, and they searched in many ways, but they did not find any useful clues, so they had to return with regrets.

Wei Shu will be skeptical about this.

Only with her current identity and the current situation, it is better to be still, and she must also prevent someone from attacking the Cheng family, no matter what Cheng Huai or others say, she can only listen to it.

Cheng Wei was not at home, the eldest man of the West Mansion Cheng Yan was seriously injured again, this Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Mansion was a little deserted, but the East and West Mansions sat together and ate some wine and fruit, and a few young ladies burned incense and worshiped the moon in front of the big flower hall, and Mrs. Feng's life was scattered.

The family didn't get together, and the word "reunion" couldn't be talked about, and the Lao An people obviously couldn't afford to have any thoughts about celebrating this festival, so they just responded to the scene.

Wei Shu had a cold poison attack, and he didn't go out that night, only listening to Cheng Yuejiao muttering afterwards, after the banquet ended, Hua and Fang Qiaoxin seemed to have a few words, and in the middle of the evening of the second day, Hua also found the second courtyard, and Fang Qiaoxin closed the door and said for a long time.

And when she came out of the house, her face was very ugly, her nose was not a nose, her eyes were not eyes, and the door curtain was thrown high by her, and it seemed that she had a lot of trouble with Fang Qiaoxin.

Naturally, these things did not affect the little girl's mood, and she was probably the only person in the house who felt that everything was fine.

In the past few days, this Jiaojiao has turned over the large and small gardens of Dongfu, found many ant nests and bird nests, and climbed the trees a few times.

Secluded and lonely, the little girl's crisp and carefree laughter can be regarded as adding a bit of agility to the Cheng family, and it also makes Wei Shu feel that this mansion has a bit of a "home" appearance.

It wasn't until the fifth day after the festival that Cheng Wei had to return home, and Wei Shu, who was already anxious, also found a vacancy and met with him.

The weather has been bad these days, the autumn rain is lingering, the wind has added a few chills, and on the stone path outside the study, there are many withered yellow leaves, which are full of mud when they pass, but the leaves have been soaked in the rain.

Wei Shu held a green cloth umbrella and stood on the stone path, tilting his head slightly to look at Cheng Wei not far away, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The twilight rain washed the whole world into a chill, and under the gray sky, Cheng Wei was so thin that he almost lost his shape.

I haven't seen him for a few days, this man's appearance has changed greatly, his cheeks are sunken, his cheekbones are towering, the dim sky light hits his face, sweeping away a few deep shadows, and a green shirt is also hanging down neatly, outlining the outline of his thin shoulders and neck, looking very haggard.

Fortunately, the calmness between his eyebrows and eyes is still there, his behavior is as calm as usual, and his spirit seems to be good.

As far as Wei Shu knows, if a person can lose weight like this in a short period of time, either because the food and lodging are not thorough, or ...... I went to the fireworks and willow lane, and I was forced to wash my body.

However, the official system of the Great Song Dynasty strictly prohibits prostitutes, and according to Wei Shu's observation, Cheng Wei seems to have a trace of a lonely minister, presumably with his cleverness, he will never make such a big mistake that can be dismissed.

In this way, what Cheng Huai said was actually the truth, Cheng Wei was really busy with official business, and judging from the frowning eyebrows of the man in front of him, the murder case may have also encountered a lot of trouble, and this trouble has not been solved so far.

"I asked Cheng Feng to investigate directly, I don't know if there are eyebrows?" Wei Shu didn't look at the Kaifeng Mansion judge again, but turned his eyes to look at the empty courtyard outside the umbrella and asked softly.

"The Joint Investigation Division...... It may be going to be laid off. Cheng Wei opened his mouth and said, his voice was like this autumn rain, with silence and coldness.

Wei Shu Huo Ran turned his head.

At this moment, these few words were like a slap on the head to her, and the people were shocked.

Is the FBI going to be abolished?

What about the Changfeng Battalion, which belongs to the Joint Investigation Division?

Speaking of which, Wei Shu has very limited knowledge about this mysterious subordinate that has been inherited from the previous Han Dynasty to the present, and only knows that the functions and powers of the Joint Investigation Department include internal and foreign affairs.

But now, it seems that the Joint Investigation Division is no longer in the same way as before, otherwise, how can we talk about layoffs?

In addition, in this whole world, except for the Son of Heaven, who dares to touch it?

"Is this what the officials mean? Why? Is Cheng Fengzhi sure that the Joint Investigation Department will be abolished rather than merged into which subordinate? ”

Wei Shu asked three questions in a row, and her voice was not urgent, but the questions asked were to the point and to the point.

Cheng Wei glanced at her in surprise.

A reckless man with "infinite strength and world-class martial arts" (Jiaojiaoyu), and a "female hero" (Jiaojiaoyu) who smashed the exquisite stone of Jinxiutang with a slap in front of everyone, was able to peek through the doorway above the court with just one sentence from him, and the questions asked were mature and mature, neither like a woman, nor like a Jianghu person, nor like a young man.

It's really weird.

However, thinking about it on the other hand, if the red carp bag is really like this, what the woman said is not only related to the court, but also to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, then her words and deeds are also in line with what she is planning.

Cheng Wei didn't rush to reply, but stretched out his arms to make a gesture of invitation, leading Wei Shu to turn onto a gravel road, and then said slowly:

"I'm sorry, I can't answer any of the girl's questions. The Joint Investigation Department was not under the three provinces and six ministries, and the key to it was far from being something that a judge could inquire about. I only know one thing: the announcement of the repeal came out three days ago, and three days ago it coincided with the court meeting. ”

He stopped, and Qingjun's face was expressionless.

Wei Shu clenched the green umbrella in her hand.

The transparent rain line slanted down, and there was a small cracking sound on the umbrella surface, quiet and lonely, embedded in Cheng Wei's flat voice, indescribably gloomy.

Wei Shu stared at him.

The smoke and rain were miserable, and the green robe in front of him was fainted by the rain curtain, which seemed a little blurry, and farther away, the wet and cold wind was sweeping across the eaves, and there were a few autumn grasses growing under the gray corners, and the yellow leaves hung weakly, as if they lowered their heads in this cold wind and cold rain.

As soon as the court meeting passed, the news came out, could it be ...... The abolition of the Joint Investigation Department was not the intention of the Son of Heaven, but someone proposed it at the court meeting?

Yes, it must be so.
