First of all, it must be bad for the emperor to know about tonight's events.

The emperor would not like his courtiers to meet the women he imprisoned, and he also resented the contact between his courtiers and restless forces.

As for how much influence it will have if he knows about it, it is uncertain.

But in this case, it is somewhat uncost-effective to punish yourself and reward Liu Zhenghui again.

"Lawyer Pei can't ask anything useful."

"There's a high probability that we won't find any news after dawn."

"This is a rare opportunity, if it succeeds, I will benefit you for my grandfather."

Seeing that Fang Yuan was silent, Liu Yichen's expression slowed down a lot.

She wanted to accept Fang Yuan to take this risk and get that reward.

"What's the benefit?"

Fang Yuan suddenly had a plan in his heart.

"How about recommending you as a squire of the Criminal Department?"

Liu Yichen said in a deep voice.

"It's not impossible, but you have to follow my plan."

Fang Yuan filtered his thoughts and said.

Not long ago, Mo Cailing said that within half a year to a year, there would be a rebellion in Chang'an City.

At this time, you can rise up by yourself, or you can avoid being involved in the turmoil, and save yourself from being targeted or liquidated afterwards.

This position of Chang'an Ling is too special, if there is a rebellion and it is not handled well, the court and the emperor will not let it go.

"Let's talk about your plan first."

Liu Yichen's face was happy and asked.

"As you said, it is impossible to catch Nie Yinniang, and there are even fewer people who know that she is the murderer."

"Then since we want to find a replacement for the dead ghost, it is better to announce to the public that the murderer is from the ink of the Deng Ling clan, and we have been caught."

"Pei Xiang hasn't woken up yet, and it's not sure if he can wake up, and even if he does, he doesn't necessarily know who the murderer is."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

It was part of the plan that had just come to mind.

If this plan is done well, then even if the emperor knows about it, there will be a way to get it done.

"Talent!"

"Fang Ling, you are really talented!"

"Greatly reduced risk in my approach!"

Liu Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then became even more happy.

The plan she just mentioned is very risky.

But after Fang Yuan's improvement, the risk is greatly reduced.

First of all, Nie Yinniang is from Deng Ling's ink, and he and others are not wrong with the outside world, and when they arrest people, they also catch a Deng Ling's ink.

If it is discovered, it means that the information is wrong and the wrong person has been arrested.

The fault is only that the wrong person was caught, and nothing else was wrong, and there was no deliberate replacement for the dead ghost.

"I want to see your grandfather, sign it in black and white!"

Fang Yuan is the color road.

Verbal trading is too crude.

Liu Zhenghui and Liu Yichen are also not clear.

Only in black and white can there be protection, and there is no fear of being crossed and the bridge demolished.

Naturally, if it really gets to that point, the person who gets the reward will have a bigger problem.

"No problem!"

"But my grandfather is old, see you tomorrow morning."

Liu Yichen nodded heavily.

But after taking a look at the color and changing the time.

"Yes, you can go back."

Fang Yuan had no opinion, got up and prepared to leave, and also issued an eviction order.

"Fang Ling, you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?"

"I'm a girl's house, it's not safe to be outside at night, right?"

Liu Yichen suddenly skinned up, looked at Fang Yuan and said with a smile.

"You're the only one?"

Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Liu Yichen deeply.

"You guess!"

Liu Yichen was taken aback by Fang Yuan's eyes.

He thought that Fang Yuan was going to threaten him because he came, and he was really ready to kill himself.

"There's no time to guess!"

"Hurry up, don't disturb my sleep."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly and went back to his room to sleep.

He didn't have a good impression of Liu Yichen, and even had some disgust.

Dare to go to the Fang Mansion at night to threaten himself, and he is the first person for the first time.

"Slightly!"

Liu Yichen stuck out his tongue at Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan didn't care about her anymore, called a guard and left.

Liu Yichen was not bored, and was happily sent out the back door by the guards to leave.

The next day, the people and officials of Chang'an City began to look forward to the news that the three major institutions had solved the case.

This day is the last day for the emperor and the imperial court to give to the three major institutions, if the case cannot be solved today, not only the emperor and the imperial court will not have face, but the three major institutions will not have face, and they will be severely punished.

Around noon.

The criminal department Shangshu personally announced that the murderer had been caught!

A super killer from the ink of the Deng Ling clan, who was instructed to assassinate Pei Xiang.

As soon as the news came out, both inside and outside the court were shocked, and then some people cheered that the Criminal Department had avenged Pei Lian.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Li Shimin summoned Fang Yuan and the others.

"Deng Ling's ink is too arrogant and arrogant!"

"As soon as you find their traces, take them down!"

Li Shimin was so angry.

The feelings for Deng Ling's ink are even more disgusted.

A group of rangers did not listen to the orders of the imperial court, and also assassinated important ministers of the imperial court.

Such a force is not needed by Datang, and Datang is not needed by the world, and they can be wiped out.

"Yes!"

Fang Yuan's three should be.

As planned, Li Shimin did not specifically ask for the name of the murderer.

As the emperor, the Ninety-Five, how could he specifically ask for the name of a little killer?

"This time it's mainly the credit of the Criminal Department?"

Li Shimin's expression was a little kinder.

looked at Liu Zhenghui, an old comrade-in-arms, and nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan nodded intuitively.

Li Daozong also admitted that it was the Criminal Department.

"I said that the chief officer who solved the case will be rewarded heavily."

"Liu Shangshu, if you have anything you want, you can talk about it."

Li Shimin chuckled.

Directly let Liu Zhenghui put forward his opinion.

This is really a serious injury, which greatly gives Liu Zhenghui the right to choose.

"Your Majesty, the dog has been a county magistrate in Shandong counties for more than ten years."

"I'm old, I'm afraid time is running out, and I want someone to accompany me when I'm old."

Liu Zhenghui stood up, solemnly saluted Li Shimin, and said with emotion.

"That's right."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

But after pondering for a moment, he still agreed to Liu Zhenghui's request.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Zhenghui was stunned for a moment, and then thanked excitedly.

"Regarding the murderer, I will deal with it when Pei Xiang wakes up."

"Tell the employer behind him, you must torture it!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"That, Your Majesty, the minister wants to resign and resign from the post of secretary of the Criminal Department."

Liu Zhenghui did not respond, but said with a little reluctance.

"What?"

Li Shimin was surprised, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Even Fang Yuan and Li Daozong were also very surprised and looked at Liu Zhenghui.

"The minister is old, and he can no longer serve the court, and he always feels powerless to do things."

"And the dog is coming back soon, and the minister feels that he owes him a lot, and wants to accompany him more in the future."

Liu Zhenghui said with emotion.

"You!"

"You two stand down first!"

Li Shimin opened his mouth, and finally waved away Fang Yuan and the others.

Fang Yuan and Li Daozong naturally had no opinion, and were taken by the eunuch to the side hall to wait.

"Political Council, why do you want to be dismissed?"

Li Shimin stepped down from the dragon seat and spoke to Liu Zhenghui cordially.

Liu Zhenghui is a good hand to assist him in ruling the Tang Dynasty, and the Criminal Department is thanks to him.

Now he wants to be dismissed, which is a big loss for the court and the criminal department.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, I dare not slack off in charge of the Criminal Department for many years."

"However, people don't accept the old can't do it, I always feel exhausted recently, and many cases can't keep up, and I am worried about the expectations of Your Majesty, so I specially resign."

Liu Zhenghui's eyes were slightly moist and he choked up.

"If you can't be busy, let the waiter of the criminal department help more."

"The Criminal Department needs you, Datang needs you, and I also need you."

Li Shimin continued to stay, hoping that Liu Zhenghui could stay and assist him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Please forgive your majesty for having made up your mind!"

"If there is an afterlife, the minister still wants to saddle the horse for His Majesty!"

Liu Zhenghui choked up and said.

He's going to have to step down, really back down.

If he doesn't retreat, his son may not come back.

Although the emperor agreed, there would be political enemies to stop him, and the emperor would have other considerations.

And if he retreats, then the emperor will miss the old feelings, and no matter how his political enemies stop him, the emperor will not be moved.

"Well, all these years, I've worked hard for you, when do you want to be dismissed?"

Li Shimin sighed and did not continue to force it.

It's just that he will not serve the court.

As long as people don't die, they can ask him for anything.

"It's best to be within half a year."

Liu Zhenghui said truthfully.

With his position, after submitting his resignation, half a year is considered to be done quickly.

I also have to hand over the work, bring new people with me, etc., half a year is actually not much.

"Okay!"

"Do you have someone to take your place?"

Li Shimin nodded slowly and asked habitually.

When the minister resigns, the court will ask for the opinion of the other party.

If someone is strongly recommended to take over, and the other party's qualifications and abilities are met, there is a high probability that it will be him.

But in the end, it is the emperor who decides, and the emperor says that whoever replaces will be replaced, unless the person arranged by the emperor is really unbearable.

"There is no place for Shangshu, but there is a candidate for the squire."

Liu Zhenghui shook his head and said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

There is no candidate for the position of Shangshu, but there is a candidate for the waiter of the Criminal Department.

So, what does Liu Zhenghui mean that the position of Shangshu will be replaced by the current squire of the Criminal Department?

Among the two current waiters of the Criminal Department, Wang Zhaoyang is very good, and his ability and qualifications are good.

But Wang Zhaoyang is from the Taiyuan Wang family, and he is one of the five surnames and seven hopes, and Li Shimin doesn't think much about him taking over.

It is estimated that Liu Zhenghui is also interested, but he just said that he had that kind of idea, and he didn't really say it, and he gave himself a choice.

"Chang'an Ling Fang Yuan is good!"

"The minister works with him, and he thinks he is a talent, and he has the ability to serve as a squire of the criminal department."

Liu Zhenghui will fulfill his promise and recommend Fang Yuan now.

There are many talents in the imperial court, but there are only a few suitable high-level talents.

There is a high probability that he will take his place as one of the squires of the Criminal Department.

Then there will be a vacant position for the squire of the Criminal Department, which can be replaced by Fang Yuan.

"You have such a great respect for Chang'an Ling?!"

Li Shimin was a little surprised, and looked Liu Zhenghui up and down.

After only working with Fang Yuan for a day or two, I knew that Fang Yuan was a talent?

"yes, I have to admire."

Liu Zhenghui sighed.

He really admired and admired Fang Yuan's boldness.

Naturally, Fang Yuan's ability was also okay, and he could find out where Nie Yinniang was.

"Okay, I know what you mean."

Li Shimin nodded slowly.

I was thinking about the candidate to succeed Liu Zhenghui.

Not long after, Fang Yuan and Li Daozong were called back again.

Before the topic continued, the eunuch Wang De hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, good news, Pei Xiang has woken up!"

Wang De said excitedly.

When the words fell, Li Shimin stood up.

And Fang Yuan and Liu Zhenghui changed their faces greatly.

As for Li Daozong, he didn't participate in it, and he didn't have any feelings with Pei Lian, and his expression was average.

"Drive Pei's Mansion, I'm going to visit Pei Xiang!"

Li Shimin said immediately.

As he spoke, he walked out of the study.

And Fang Yuan and the three were sent away.

"If you don't wake up late, if you don't wake up early, how can you just finish speaking?!"

Liu Zhenghui couldn't help complaining.

The case has just been explained, and he has just asked the emperor to resign.

How did he wake up?

Now, it's not going to be a goof, right?

Fang Yuan also frowned, and his heart hung up.

"What does Liu Shangshu mean?"

Li Daozong looked at Liu Zhenghui puzzled and asked.

"No, nothing."

Liu Zhenghui waved his hand and left with mixed feelings.

Pei Fu.

Pei Lin finally woke up.

The whole mansion was excited.

Li Shimin soon arrived and met Pei Lian.

"Pei Xiang, you're finally awake!"

Li Shimin said in a slightly choked tone.

He and Pei Lin are very incompatible, and he has tried to get rid of Pei Lin many times.

But it was all political discord, and in private Li Shimin was very grateful to Pei Lian

Because Pei Lian's contribution to the Tang Dynasty is obvious to all, he is the first contributor to the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty Xie cares!"

Pei Xiao said weakly.

His face was very pale, without a trace of blood.

"Just wake up, just wake up!"

Li Shimin nodded heavily.

But his feelings for Pei Lin have changed a little.

Because Pei Lin didn't salute, he didn't have any thoughts at all.

Even if it is for show, Li Shimin is in a better mood.

"Your Majesty, have you caught the murderer?"

Pei Lian's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice.

As soon as he woke up, he said a few words to Lawyer Pei and didn't ask about the murderer.

But Li Shimin came, and he had no personal relationship with Li Shimin, so he talked directly about official affairs.

"Caught."

"I just haven't asked the employer yet."

Li Shimin is colorful.

"It's good to catch it, it's good to catch it!"

"This strange woman has finally been captured by my Datang!"

"Your Majesty, Nie Yinniang can not kill if she can, she is a rare talent!"

Pei Lin became excited, and his face gushed a little blood.

"Nie Yinniang?"

Li Shimin was stunned.

A memory welled up in my head.

That belongs to the legendary Nie Yinniang.

But after thinking about it, Liu Zhenghui and they caught Nie Yinniang?

They only told themselves that it was the ink of the Deng Ling clan, but they did not say Nie Yinniang.

If it's Nie Yinniang, this kind of person, there's no reason not to tell your name, right?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly remembered a cursory glance at the testimony, and the name of the murderer on it was not Nie Yinniang!

"Well, what's wrong?"

Pei Lin noticed the change in Li Shimin's expression.

"I look like I've been tricked!"

"Pei Xiang, the Emperor is here, I will go back first, and I will give you the result of the case later!"

Li Shimin's eyes were slightly cold.

It just so happened that Emperor Li Yuan arrived at this time.

So he took this opportunity to bow to the emperor and left.

As soon as he left Pei's Mansion and got on the dragon chariot, Li Shimin's face turned cold.

"Order Liu Zhenghui, Li Daozong, Fang Yuan, enter the palace immediately to see me, no delay!"
