Today, the crown prince also went to the early court.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who has a gentle temperament, rarely sank his face and was very angry. After Emperor Yongming gave an edict, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opened his mouth and said: "Ji Shangshu has worked hard to solve the case as soon as possible." ”

The unlucky criminal department Shangshu gave up his life.

Wu Anbo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great! This hot potato, with the criminal department taking over, couldn't be better. The Terracotta Division does not want to lose face, but only seeks peace.

The prince stepped forward and helped Xu Jing up with his own hands, not knowing what he comforted in a low voice. Xu Jing's emotions finally calmed down, and he didn't say anything anymore.

Early in the morning, the symbolism is heavier. The real major events of the court are carried out at the small court meeting. Today's court will have Xu Jing's play, and the officials are a little absent-minded. Even Emperor Yongming on the dragon chair was a little uneasy, and soon ended the early dynasty.

The prince glanced at Xu Jing.

Xu Jing nodded slightly, and walked out of the Jinluan Palace with the prince.

Coincidentally, it coincided with the change of guards in the palace. A tall, heroic young man in soft armor stood outside the Jinluan Palace.

Xu Jing looked at it coldly.

Captain Murong looked back coldly.

Between the four eyes, like lightning and flint, sparks are flying.

"Why don't you leave?" The prince was a little puzzled and looked at Xu Jing.

Xu Jing retracted his gaze casually, and said casually: "I was probably assassinated last night, and my mind was a little restless." That's it. ”

The prince did not doubt him, and sighed: "I feel terrified when I hear it." Don't go to the study today, take a good rest for half a day. ”

Xu Jing said: "No, I'll go back to take a bath and change into clean clothes." ”

The two of them said as they left.

Murong Shen looked at the backs of the departing young man, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

I didn't calculate it even if I didn't calculate it, Xu Jing had such a means to entrap the prince so quickly.

There is a prince who is partial to each other, and Xu Jing is actually smooth in the palace......

Hum!

Those assassins were also useless, they had been in ambush for so long, but they couldn't succeed. Now the government and the opposition are in a uproar.

Ji Shangshu of the Criminal Department walked out of the Jinluan Palace, and Wu Anbo walked side by side while complaining: "...... I checked all night last night, and the people in the two nearby streets checked one by one, but they couldn't ask anything at all. Those three corpses, I will send them to the Punishment Department when I go back. Some of the criminal department are experts in investigating cases, and they will definitely be able to solve cases as soon as possible. ”

The case will be solved in ten days, and Ji Shangshu is also anxious now, and he can't help but glance at Wu Anbo, who seems to be regretful but is secretly happy in his heart: "This murder happened on the territory of the Nancheng Terracotta Division after all, and it is indispensable for the uncle to help." ”

Wu Anbo immediately patted his chest: "Master Ji just orders." ”

The two talked as they walked, and soon walked away.

Murong Shen's eyes flashed, and he quietly withdrew his gaze.

……

In the next few days, the Criminal Department dispatched almost all the arresters who could be dispatched.

The scope of questioning expanded from two streets to within a 10-mile radius of the murder.

When the people of the capital gather, the slightest disturbance will attract heated discussions. Not to mention such movements. I don't know where the rumors came from, and they pointed the finger at the prince of Beihai.

It is rumored that the King of Beihai has ill intentions and has long had the intention of rebellion. The prince of Beihai directed and acted in an assassination story, intending to disturb the court.

When Meng Yushi heard such absurd rumors, he was furious in his heart, and got up and went to the study to write a recital.

Before the recital was finished, a long attendant came to report: "Lord Qiyu, Miss Zhao Liu came to the door to ask to see." ”

Miss Zhao Liu?

Meng Yushi was quite surprised, immediately got up, and ordered: "Please come over with Madame." ”

After a cup of tea, Zhao Xiyan came.

Meng Yushi and his wife and children saluted together.

not only avoided the suspicion of men and women, but also showed respect for Miss Zhao Liu.

In the past few days, Zhao Xiyan has been slightly cleared, but his expression is calm and calm, and he greeted Mrs. Meng with a smile.

Mrs. Meng is not a beauty, she looks good. However, she has a gentle temperament and an exceptionally soft voice. A pair of children, a son is 12 years old and a daughter is 10 years old, and they all know how to count etiquette.

After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Meng led her children out first.

Only then did Meng Yushi open his mouth and ask: "Miss Zhao Liu came here today, it should be for the assassination of the prince!" ”

Zhao Xiyan replied softly: "Exactly." ”

"When I first came to the capital with my son, in addition to my in-laws, I only knew Meng Yushi. The prince is in the palace, and it is difficult to pass on the news. I came today to ask Meng Yushi, I don't know how the criminal department's case has been investigated? ”

In fact, Zhao Xiyan's uncle is the squire of the Ministry of Works, Xu Jing's eldest sister is the daughter-in-law of Zhou Shangshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the second sister married into the Wu'an Mansion. Zhao Xiyan wants to find out the news, it is not difficult.

The real purpose of her coming to see Meng Yushi was to arouse Meng Yushi's righteous passion.

Sure enough, Meng Yushi immediately said: "Miss Zhao Liu, don't be anxious. This case involves the safety of the prince, and hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China are extremely concerned. Even the Holy One asks about the progress of the case every day. ”

Zhao Xiyan sighed lightly: "The people behind this curtain are really vicious and vicious. The assassination of the prince failed, and all kinds of rumors were released. intends to discredit the King of the North Sea and the son of the world. ”

Don't just smear.

This is an attempt to provoke Emperor Yongming's murderous intentions, how ruthless!

Meng Yushi was inconvenient to say, so he only said: "I have already written a recital, and I ask the emperor to strictly investigate it." The emperor will not be disturbed by rumors. ”

Definitely!

Emperor Yongming originally had the intention of cutting the domain, and summoned a group of feudal princes into the palace, but he didn't have any good intentions. Now that there is such a good opportunity in front of you, it is strange not to think about it.

Zhao Xiyan looked at Meng Yushi and said softly: "No matter what, thank you Meng Yushi." ”

After speaking, he bowed uprightly.

Meng Yushi hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "Miss Zhao doesn't have to be polite. As a royal historian, it is my duty to listen to the wind and play, and it is my duty to advise the Son of Heaven. ”

"In this world, there are few officials who are not afraid of power or darkness, and who have the courage to speak out. Meng Yushi is loyal and admirable. ”

Zhao Xiyan saluted again, said goodbye and left.

Meng Yushi sat in the study, pondering and tasting the words "not afraid of power and darkness", his face gradually became solemn, and he suddenly sighed.

……

Meng Yushi made a twist and turn the next day.

Meng Yushi has always been upright and outspoken, and he is known as a ghost. This time, the twists and turns are even more groundbreaking.

On the fold, it is pointed out that someone plotted to kill the prince of Beihai, and the person who secretly spread rumors had ill intentions, intending to instigate discord in the royal family, and was suspected of forcing the vassal king to rebel.

“…… The emperor is sage, his eyes are like torches, and he will not be confused by this trick. The ministers asked the emperor to give justice to the prince of Beihai, and he could also use this to cleanse the atmosphere of the court. Strictly investigate the real culprits, and those who maliciously spread rumors must also be strictly investigated, and will not be tolerated in vain. ”
