Although Liu Jing is too lazy to bird Shen Liben, this is his eldest brother's mourning hall, and the ceremony cannot be abolished.

So I could only endure the nausea and watch Shen Liben pick up a stick of incense, light it and insert it in the incense burner. Then he pretended to say to the tablet of the eldest brother:

"Liu participates in politics, although you and I are just nodding friends, but this official knows that you are noble and noble. You just have to rest assured, if you have a grievance, this official will definitely help you find out. ”

After a pause, Shen Liben lowered his voice again and said: "If you just die in an accident, this official will definitely help you get through, and you won't let the world say that Liu Bowen's eldest son fell into a well and died of alcoholism." ”

"My eldest brother usually doesn't drink a drip!" Liu Jing finally couldn't help but say angrily: "You guys don't want to ruin his reputation!" ”

"Liu Langzhong, rest assured." Shen Liben was not annoyed, and said with the demeanor of Qincha: "The official has said that he will definitely help Brother Ling to get through." ”

"You don't need to be round, he didn't drink too much, and it is impossible that he fell into the well by himself!" Liu Jing's face was flushed with grievances.

"Liu Langzhong, don't be impatient." Xiong Qitai also helped Shen Liben to reassure: "The Qin Cha will definitely investigate clearly, and will never tarnish Liu's posthumous name." ”

"You don't cry in this cat and fake mercy, it's you bastards, spreading rumors and smearing my eldest brother all day long!" Liu Jing's forehead jumped straight and said, "Get out!" Get out of here! ”

"Liu Langzhong is a little emotional under the grief, let's not bother." Shen Liben still maintains his demeanor, in fact, he doesn't care at all, these second generations who don't have much ability and a lot of temper.

The officials smiled and said goodbye and left the official office.

The door behind him slammed shut, and the officials shook their heads and sighed. "What quality?"

"Forget it, I don't know him like him." Shen Liben waved his hand and said lightly: "He doesn't talk about decency, we still have to talk about decency." ”

"Yes, yes, what is the identity of the Lord? There's no need to worry about a dumb kid. Xiong Qitai nodded like pecking rice, bowed his waist and stretched out his hand and smiled: "Please move to the Zhengya to serve tea." ”

"There's no hurry." Shen Liben shook his head, pointed to the official party with a seal next door and asked, "This is the Cao Politician?" ”

"Yes. After Liu Shenzheng fell into a well, this place became a murder house, and Cao Shenzheng's family moved out that night. Zeng Tai replied, "Then, according to the judge, this place was temporarily sealed." ”

"Well, the site should be protected." Shen Liben nodded.

"Yes, yes." Zeng Tai smiled.

"Go in and have a look." Shen Liben pointed to the sealed door.

"Yes." Zeng Tai hurriedly ordered someone to tear off the seal and open the door.

The officials surrounded Shen Liben and went into the official house, and the official party was in a mess, and worthless things were thrown everywhere, obviously left by Cao Shenzheng when he moved.

After a search for someone and a move, any useful clues were annihilated. It can only be said that the scene is protected and a loneliness is protected.

Shen Liben didn't criticize Zeng Tai because he didn't care at all.

He asked Zeng Tai to lead him around the scene, looked at the well that killed Liu Lian, and left the scene without saying a word.

~~

Back in the back hall of the main office, Shen Liben washed his face and changed his clothes under Xiong Qitai's arrangement, and rested for a while.

After he washed away his bad luck and put on his scarlet robe again, Xiong Qitai came in to pay a visit.

But seeing that Shen Liben's face was a little unkind, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked in a low voice, "My lord, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Let me ask you again, is there something you're hiding from me?" Shen Liben stared at Xiong Qitai's seemingly loyal face.

"No, I don't. Not really. Xiong Qitai still denied it.

"Then let me ask you, the location of that well is so remote, how can a guy lead Liu Lian to that kind of place?" Shen Liben suddenly raised his voice and asked, "What are you hiding?!" ”

"yes, how did he do it?" Xiong Qitai looked confused, and then called out to the sky and said: "I don't know if I am lowly, but I only know that I have absolutely nothing to hide from my lord!" ”

"Your mouth is really hard enough," Shen Liben snorted and said with a straight face: "Well, if something happens, don't blame this seat for not protecting you!" ”

"The humble duty understands, but the humble duty has the heart of the adult, and it is as bright as the bright moon!" No matter how hard and soft Shen Liben was, Xiong Qitai just bit him to death, and he didn't hide it.

"Let them all in." Shen Liben had no choice but to uncover this section first.

~~

Shaoqing, Deputy Envoy Zeng Taifeng and other case-handling officials all came to the hall to listen to the order.

"Sit down." Shen Liben smiled warmly, and he couldn't see that he had just had a break with Xiong Qitai, and said to everyone with a smile: "This is to ask everyone to come here to discuss the case of Liu's participation in politics and how to handle it." ”

After a pause, he looked at Xiong Qitai again, and said with a smile: "Just now, I briefly consulted with Xiong Fangbo, and I feel that we still have to focus on the overall situation, and we can't discredit Liu's participation in politics, Jiangxi officialdom, and of course, the imperial court." What do you think? ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme, the ministry is high, and the clan is high." The officials nodded their heads one after another.

Zeng Tai wanted to habitually go with the flow, but his mind echoed the advice of His Royal Highness the King of Chu - 'Whatever they advocate, you will oppose; Whatever they oppose, you support! ’

It's really easier said than done, do you know how hard it is to do? Contradicting the boss in public, the psychological pressure is too great......

"Since everyone has no objections, then our tone has been set like this......" Shen Liben's voice did not fall, and he heard Zeng Tai say weakly:

"I'm against it."

"What did Zeng Lianwan say? I didn't hear it clearly. Shen Liben looked at Zeng Tai, who had always been very well-behaved, in disbelief.

"Back to the ministry, the lower official said that I was against it." There was no turning back when he opened the bow, Zeng Tai could only grit his teeth and let it go.

"What are you against? What do you have to oppose? Shen Liben's face sank, and before he could speak, Xiong Qitai on the side first asked, "What are your intentions?" Do you still regard yourself as a part of Jiangxi officialdom?! ”

"The lower officials are opposed, and the tone will be set before the case is investigated." Zeng Tai, a teaching craftsman, is not good at work, but he is good at quarreling. "As an envoy, I am in charge of a provincial punishment, and it is only natural that I ask for the truth to be ascertained! On the contrary, Xiong Fantai is on the line like this, what is his intention?! ”

"It was you who were drunk and drowned according to the judges, why didn't you object at that time?" Xiong Qitai turns on roaring mode.

Zeng Taixin said that I wasn't still messing around at that time? Who would have thought that he would become a cat teaser for His Royal Highness the King of Chu? However, he had already thought of his rhetoric, so he said solemnly:

"At that time, Lord Qincha had not yet come, and the case was in the yamen again, and the official was worried that if he opposed it at that time, someone would take risks and continue to commit the crime in order to destroy the evidence, and then the matter would get bigger and bigger!"

Zeng Tai arched his hand towards Shen Liben as he spoke: "But now that Lord Qincha has arrived, the situation is different, with his old man in charge, who would dare to be a demon again?!" ”

Shen Liben couldn't cry or laugh when he boarded, and all the people in the world let this surname Zeng occupy all of them. What else could he say? I had to pinch my nose and nod and said, "Zeng Lian has a heart." ”
