Chapter Twenty-Four: Bad Conjecture!
The squire of the Criminal Department was a third-grade official in the Great Jin Dynasty, one grade higher than the Shaoqing of Dali Temple appointed by Wang Ye, and even half a grade higher than that of Dali Temple, but the age of the other party made Chen Qing sigh that the relationship was really awesome.
I'm afraid I'm not even thirty years old, right?
In modern times, at least he is the leader of the Supreme People's Court or the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and ..... thirty-year-old tsk..... he can compare with the president of France who is looking for an old aunt.
"Xiaguan has seen Master Fei!" Chen Qing complained in his heart, but his face saluted respectfully.
The handsome young squire glanced at Chen Qing expressionlessly, and said lightly: "You haven't joined the company yet, and it's not appropriate to call yourself a subordinate official." β
The corners of Chen Qing's mouth twitched, and he arched his hand: "It's because the student didn't think about it and was rude.....
Fei Jun drank tea and looked at the young man silently, even if he was stabbed by himself, he still smiled gently, not like a young man at all, but like an old oilman in officialdom.
The will says that the two of them will work together to handle the case, but there is another sentence, Chen Qing is the main one!
It made him wonder what this little guy was good at.
"When is it going to be installed?" On the side, Wei Chi Peng was impatient: "Is there enough time given above?" β
"The more important the event is, the more you can't be impatient, General Wei Chi doesn't change this problem, and he is embarrassed!"
"Ha......" Wei Chipeng sneered angrily: "Whether a certain person can be up to the task, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to have the final say!" β
Seeing that the two of them looked like they were about to blow up, Chen Qing suddenly embarrassed, how could this guy who was a member of the third grade at a young age be so aggressive? Is it true that relying on the prince's old watch all the way?
"Two adults, why don't you get down to business first?" Chen Qing hurriedly took out the list given by Wei Gongcheng and said carefully: "There are a lot of people on this list, and it takes a lot of effort to investigate." β
"Your list is useless...... the other party didn't raise his eyelids, and took out another list while drinking tea: "The list of the Ministry of Rites is only for the court to see, which means that the prince's selection of concubines has the meaning of accepting public opinion, but the actual number of places set is not so much, and the prince and concubine can only choose one on this list." β
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, and carefully took over the list, the new list is indeed much streamlined, with a total of less than thirty candidates, which is indeed much easier to check than before.
The student took the liberty of asking..... how many people know about this list?"
Fei Jun put down the teacup when he heard this, and finally glanced at Chen Qing squarely: "It's a bit reactive." β
Wei Chipeng on the side was stunned when he heard it, what do you mean?
"Except for the young prince next to you who doesn't know anything, the eight princes who are stationed in the capital know about it!"
Chen Qing frowned when he heard this, and Wei Chipeng reacted at this time, this is the person behind the screen!
If the thousand-faced fox wants to participate in this concubine selection, he must first know the people who know this list, so he can lay out in advance!
"Lord Fei, it's better to pay attention when you speak!" Wei Chipeng's face was dark: "It doesn't matter if you look down on so-and-so, but the Eight Great Princes are not something you can slander casually, doesn't Jiuqing know about this list?" β
Fei Jun didn't bother to look at the other party in the face of Wei Chipeng's questioning, and only replied lightly: "Although Jiuqing knows the list, his motives are much smaller than those of several princes. β
"Heh..... who can say for sure?" Yu Chipeng sneered: "Most of you warlocks are remnants of the previous dynasty!" β
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned extremely cold, Wei Chipeng had a terrifying cyan light in his eyes, and Fei Jun on the opposite side was even more exaggerated, with a trace of burning flames in his eyes!
As a mortal, Chen Qing only felt extremely uncomfortable between the two, and even breathing became difficult!
Fortunately, the two only confronted each other for a moment and did not continue, otherwise under the squeeze, Chen Qing was very suspicious that he would be directly suppressed by the aura of these two dog things.....
It seems that after this matter, I have to step up into the transcendent process, so that I can be shot to death like a worm at any moment, and it is too uncomfortable.....
Fei Jun glanced at Chen Qing, who was panting, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, is he really a mortal?
Chen Qing took advantage of the moment when he was not breathing well, and quickly thought about the situation.
Judging from the conversation between the two, the contradiction between the warlock of the Great Jin Dynasty and the bloodline family seems to be not small, and it has evolved into a civil and military confrontation!
But think about it, looking through the history of China, since ancient times, the civil and military affairs of the court have not dealt with each other, and every time the world is peaceful, the civil officials will think of a way to seize power from the military attachΓ©s.
This world is special, the bloodline family has a natural suppression of ordinary literati with its strong talent, and now that there is a warlock who can compete with the bloodline family, it will naturally cause hostility, and it is actually inevitable to force the warlock to the side of Wenchen.
This made Chen Qing feel that this case was not an ordinary trouble, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he was afraid that it would become the fuse for the civil and military to attack each other.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing trembled a little.
"Let's see who is going to do it first." Fei Jun spread out the list and explained: "In order to avoid risks, some of the children of the former Confucians were directly excluded, and the selection list was all innocent official eunuchs, and they were basically scholars who had been in Beijing. β
Chen Qing took the list and looked at it carefully, although the other party had an arrogant attitude, he was very meticulous, and each person on the list marked the detailed background, family candidates, and risk references.
Chen Qing said while looking at the list: "It is not very useful to avoid risks, as long as the other party can know the list in advance, there is a risk of replacing the people on the list." β
Fei Jun nodded, he agreed with this, the crown princess candidate would not consider the bloodline family, in order to appease the generals, naturally he would not consider the warlock family, so since it was a mortal family, no matter how to protect it in advance, there was a risk of being replaced.
"Your Excellency and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are familiar with each other, do you know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a favorite person?"
"Nonsense!" Fei Jun snorted coldly: "What a precious identity is His Royal Highness the Prince? Where will you do the Meng Lang affair of the woman who met privately before marriage? β
"Are you sure you haven't?" Chen Qing asked very seriously!
"Forehead ....." Fei Jun's face was a little embarrassed.
Chen Qing rolled his eyes, he knew that the bloodline family, the more pure the blood, the more lustful, this is the biological instinct in the body that wants to pass on the ancestry, will he not know as a designer?
No matter how good it is, it can't stop the color embryo attribute in its original design!
Under Chen Qing's gaze, Fei Jun finally said: "The prince once met the second daughter of Yang Lin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, that woman is knowledgeable and reasonable, and her temperament is extraordinary, and His Royal Highness the Prince has some ..... cough....young admiration.....
Gee.....
Chen Qing's face twitched, after all, he was a reader, and he really knew how to use words.
"Have you had any personal contact?"
"How is that possible?" Fei Jun suddenly lost the cold arrogance just now, and said angrily: "Who are you as His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
"Lord Fei is an official of the Criminal Department, and he should be objective ......when he knows the case" Chen Qing didn't bother to pay attention to the other party's weak-hearted rebuttal: "Are you sure it's not?" β
"Ahem......" Fei Jun finally couldn't hold it up, and coughed lightly: "The young man admires ..... occasionally can't help but meet in private, which is also understandable....."
"Well, yes, boy....." Chen Qing echoed, and then asked the question he was most concerned about: "Is there any etiquette?" β
"What..... what is the courtesy?" Fei Jun said with a weak heart.
"It's just whether there is fornication or not..... Chen Qing didn't bother to see the other party's secretive appearance, and asked directly.
"Chen Qing!!" Fei Jun was immediately furious: "Do you know what the crime of slandering the prince is?" As he spoke, he looked at the black-clothed guard next to him who was still recording: "What do you remember?" β
The black-clothed guard looked at Fei Jun, was stunned, and then wrote it down (Fei Junyan: What do you remember?). οΌ
Fei Jun: ".........."
Yu Chipeng: O-O!
Taking a deep breath, Fei Jun was too lazy to bother with a paper figure, and looked directly at Chen Qing: "Chen Qing, this official told you ......"
"Is there ..... or is there none?" Chen Qing's face was gloomy, and he directly interrupted the other party's words!!
"You ......" Fei Jun swallowed, feeling a little helpless for the first time in front of a kid who was younger than himself.
Damn, Xiao Yan's kid did all that shit, the key is not to let yourself know.....
Wei Chipeng was surprised to see it, and it was the first time he had seen Fei Jun, a guy who had always been arrogant, so weak in front of others.
"Does it matter?" Fei Jun took a breath and said coldly.
Although the tone was cold, there was a feeling of weakness.
"It's important!" Chen Qing became more and more serious, and his face became ugly.
Damn, I just said it casually, I didn't expect it to really cause a big problem, looking at the other party like this, I'm afraid that the prince really did this!!
I hope it's not what I think, or else......
What I have to face now is probably the existence of the Nine-Tails!!
