Chapter 538: I'm Tired When I'm Old
"Crazy?"
Xiao Yuzhi looked at the crazy prisoners in the cell, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, there were more people pretending to be crazy and stupid.
However, whether it is really crazy or fake crazy, it will have no effect, because the case is a foregone conclusion, and the demon monk in this prison is no longer so important.
The head in the cell may have seen that Xiao Yuzhi was a capable person, and rushed to a place close to him, stretching out his hand on the fence and waving continuously.
"My lord, my lord, I want to change my confession, I want to change my confession - it's an ermine, it's a spirit mink-"
This Hui Hui Mian and Qi Zhongbin have already left, but the fear in Toutuo's heart cannot be erased.
Xiao Yuzhi didn't want to pay attention to this person at all, turned around and left, just walked a few steps and frowned, his steps couldn't help slowing down, and he subconsciously glanced back.
Marten?
When it comes to mink, Xiao Yuzhi has to think of the one he saw back then, and the one next to Mr. Yi, the most impressive thing is that such a small thing has a strange appetite.
That will Shi Sheng and the little mink clean up the mess on the dinner table, Shi Sheng is the time to grow his body, as the saying goes, half a child, eat a poor man, eat more normal, but the mink's little belly is also like a bottomless pit.
Thinking like this, Xiao Yuzhi shook his head with a dumb smile again, and then left quickly, how could it be related
"My lord, change your confession—it's not a mouse, it's a gray and white spirit mink—"
The wind in the prison flashed, and Xiao Yuzhi appeared in front of Toutuo's cell door in an instant.——
The minor changes in the file did not have a big impact on the whole case, but the case itself or the events at the court meeting were still very sensational.
Even if most of these things are impossible for most officials to talk about at will, after all, it happened during the Great Dynasty Meeting, and this matter still spread in Chengtianfu City.
Two more days passed, and in the early morning of the third day, Xiao Yuzhi, who had finished handling his recent official duties yesterday, walked briskly through the streets of Chengtian Mansion.
"I heard that day, at the autumn court meeting, there was a big case, and a prince committed a major crime of rebellion!" "Huh? Really? ”
"It's true, it is said that he poisoned and wanted to kill the Son of Heaven!" "What?"
"How dare you harm the Son of Heaven?" "This is such a bastard!"
"Shh
"What do you know, this is indeed a big deal, but the Son of Heaven of the Great Dynasty will see the Heavenly Master of this Dynasty!"
"Heavenly Master?" "Oh, it's the old Heavenly Master who has been very mysterious recently?"
"Isn't that a myth?"
"Nonsense, my aunt is helping to cook at Master Liu's house, and everyone in the family over there knows about it, and after Master Liu came back, he said that the Son of Heaven Xuan Lao Tianshi came to see him and re-canonized it in front of hundreds of civil and military officials!"
"Yes, yes, I've heard that, too! It is said that it was the old heavenly master during the period of Emperor Lingzong, not to mention one hundred and twenty years old! ”
"Oh, isn't this a fairy figure?"
"Who's to say it isn't?"
As a person with high martial arts skills and great attention to the cultivation of the ear and the aperture, there were people chatting on both sides of the street, there were vendors and customers whispering, and even some restaurants and restaurants were talking in a low voice, even if these people's voices were very low, but many of them were relatively clear in Xiao Yuzhi's ears.
Sometimes the detection of some cases will also get surprising clues in this kind of casual chatter of ordinary people.
Obviously, although the prince's rebellion is already a big deal, for the common people, they are more concerned about the Great Yong Heavenly Master.
Xiao Yuzhi couldn't help but speed up his pace, and finally came to the location of the Heavenly Void Temple in the city.
However, as soon as he arrived outside the Heavenly Void View, Xiao Yuzhi was taken aback, in the past, the incense could only be regarded as an ordinary Heavenly Void View, but as soon as he arrived here, there were already cars and horses parked outside, and there were even so many that he couldn't stop.
Some horse-drawn carriages that come to the sky are likely to stop somewhere else after a circle.
If Yi Shuyuan saw this scene here, he would definitely sigh, and he could also have the distress of not having a parking space.
However, Xiao Yuzhi came on foot, so naturally he didn't worry about how to park the carriage, and those who could have their own carriage didn't need to park themselves.
In addition to the full parking of cars, the gate of Tianxuguan is also full of people, and the people who know the guest are about to be too busy.
As soon as Xiao Yuzhi thought about it, he heard someone asking the Zhike Taoist.
"Dao Chief, does the Heavenly Master live here?"
Zhikedao people don't know how many times they have answered this kind of question, but at the moment they still take the trouble to say with a pleasant face.
"The Heavenly Master used to live here, but recently too many people have come, and too many pilgrims have gone to the guest house, disturbing the rest of the Heavenly Master, so he left."
"Huh? Where did that go? ”
"I don't know this poor way."
The man who asked the question was suddenly disappointed and a little annoyed.
"These people, if they don't stay at home, they are all here to disturb the Heavenly Master, what are they doing! Alas! ”
The smile on the Taoist leader's face did not change, but he thought in his heart, aren't you too.
Xiao Yuzhi frowned, and he didn't plan to ask anyone, but he quickly followed the flow of people into the Tianxu Temple, and then quickly found the guest house behind the Taoist Temple.
It's not hard to find here, after all, there are a lot of pilgrims coming, even if the Heavenly Master is not here, there are still many people who want to come and see.
Xiao Yuzhi couldn't help but sigh slightly after arriving, and then went to the Guanzhong Hall to find a god casually, put incense on it and left.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yuzhi, who left the Heavenly Void View, did not immediately return to the Yamen of Chengtian Mansion, but went directly to Tan Mansion.
With Xiao Yuzhi's footsteps, it was only a moment to reach the gate of the Tan family, which was different from the Tianxuan Temple, and naturally there were not too many carriage congestion.
Many ordinary people don't know some special information, and even if they do, few people dare to come to the Tan family's side casually.
Xiao Yuzhi went directly to the door of the Tan Mansion, and the porter and the Tan family guards naturally saw Xiao Yuzhi coming, but he was not wearing a public uniform at the moment, so he planned to go over and report to his home.
But before Xiao Yuzhi arrived, someone from the porter had already greeted him and bowed to Xiao Yuzhi.
"It turned out to be Mr. Xiao, you came to find my master?"
Xiao Yuzhi smiled and returned the salute.
"Yes and no, may I ask if Tan Gong is in the mansion, and if the Heavenly Master is also in the mansion?"
The two people in front of the door looked at each other, and one of them said.
"Since it was Mr. Xiao who came to ask, I won't hide it, not only the master is here, but the heavenly master is also there, but the head catcher can't go in."
"Why?"
Xiao Yuzhi was surprised.
"Can't you just tell the truth?"
"This, Mr. Xiao, don't embarrass us, we really can't go in."
As he was talking, a family member hurriedly ran out from the depths of the Tan Mansion, and happened to come to the door, and when he saw Xiao Yuzhi here, he immediately smiled and looked at the three people who came over.
"Please Mr. Xiao to be arrested!"
As soon as they heard this, the two porters and guards were slightly surprised, and then they reacted again, and felt that they should take it for granted, so they consciously let go.
"Mr. Xiao, please!"
Xiao Yu was overjoyed, arched his hand to the two gatekeepers, and then entered the Tan Mansion with the visitors.
To tell the truth, Xiao Yuzhi has been in the capital for so many years, even if he always runs out because of important cases, he has to be in Chengtian Mansion for half of the time, but he has only come to Tan Mansion a handful of times, counting this time, he has been here three times before and after.
Entering the palace at this moment, there is still a feeling of entering the palace, although the Tan Mansion is not as big as the palace, but the majesty of the front palace cannot be compared, but in terms of the home environment, it is even better than the harem.
It's no wonder that someone choreographs that kind of nursery rhyme
"Mr. Xiao catches his head, please come here, in the garden lake pond pavilion!"
"Good!"
As the two walked through the garden porch, when Xiao Yuzhi looked into the distance, the pupils in his eyes were slightly dilated, there was a lake in a large garden in the Tan Mansion, and there was a pavilion in the middle of the lake.
But Xiao Yuzhi was not shocked to build a pond in this place where every inch of land is valuable, but in the pavilion in the center of the pool, and he was here today.
"Your Majesty."
"Mr. Xiao, just follow me!"
"Uh, good!"
Xiao Yuzhi was inevitably a little nervous at this time, but he was not flustered, and followed the path through the garden, and then from the guardrail to the pavilion, during which many fish in the lake followed each other under the guardrail.
Obviously, the fish here are often fed, and some of them even have golden or even red fish, which are particularly conspicuous.
Several people in the pavilion had already looked sideways at Xiao Yuzhi.
Xiao Yuzhi didn't dare to be distracted anymore, hurriedly walked to the front of the pavilion, bowed and saluted.
"Minister, Xiao Yuzhi, meet Your Majesty!"
The Emperor said with a smile.
"As expected, our Chengtian Mansion has been captured! Xiao Aiqing is exempt! Come here! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Yuzhi got up, walked into the pavilion and looked at the old man with the fairy wind and bones, this should be the old heavenly master.
"Xiao Yuzhi has seen the old heavenly master and Tan Gong!"
"Hahahaha. Mr. Xiao is very polite, and your old man also knows about it! ”
Tan Yuanshang looked at Xiao Yudao.
"Mr. Xiao came to Tan for the case?"
Xiao Yuzhi felt that it was not good to tell the truth, so he nodded.
"I changed a little of the dossier confession, and I also came to Tan Gong's side to verify it, it is the rat demon in the mouth of the demon monk, and he changed the hexagram into a spirit mink, I don't know if Tan Gong knows about it?"
"Oh, that's true, it's not a rat demon, it's a spirit marten."
The emperor looked at Xiao Yuzhi.
"Such a trivial matter is also worth a trip by the head catcher?"
Tan Yuanshang said with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao's arrest is serious and responsible, and this case is serious, so he naturally doesn't dare to be sloppy, right?"
While speaking, Tan Yuanshang took a deep look at Xiao Yu, he remembered that the chief catcher was also from Yuanjiang County, and he came specifically for the spirit marten, maybe he knew Mr. Yi!
Qi Zhongbin spoke at this moment.
"In addition to official business, Xiao Xiaoyou is also here to find the old man, so I'll talk to you later."
Hearing this, the emperor's face was thoughtful.
"Then you don't have to rush to leave, just stay here for a while."
Xiao Yuzhi hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The three people in the pavilion were heavier than the other, and Xiao Yuzhi, who was extremely dazzling in the past, became the most inconspicuous person at this moment, he stood quietly aside, standing with the guards of the Son of Heaven, not daring to speak casually.
And what was said in the pavilion also made Xiao Yuzhi feel shocked.
At first, it was an ordinary conversation, and some interesting things were also said about this case, but later, Tan Yuanshang suddenly said something amazing, and the emperor was stunned.
"What did you say?"
Facing the emperor's somewhat distorted look, Tan Yuansheng repeated it calmly.
"I want to donate all the properties of the Tan family to the imperial court, including this Tan Mansion!"
Not only was the emperor out of shape, but Xiao Yuzhi and the guards present and the chief eunuch who stood there were all shocked.
"Tan Gong. Are you talking nonsense? ”
The chief eunuch couldn't help but ask, and Tan Yuanshang showed a smile on his face.
"I've thought about it, I've been thinking about it for a long time, maybe it's been longer than you think, everyone knows that my Tan family is rich in the world, and the family is rich across the two dynasties, and I have done a lot of conspicuous things over the years, some of which are too conspicuous."
Qi Zhongbin stroked his beard calmly on the side, while Gray Mian appeared on his shoulder and whispered.
"This Tan Yuanshang is really willing!"
The emperor couldn't help but speak at this moment.
"There is no need to have such concerns, I can give an order, and those who dare to spread the children's song there will be imprisoned, and those who instigate it behind their backs will be executed!"
Tan Yuanshang looked at the emperor in front of him, who looked older than him, and shook his head with a smile, his eyes were no longer in awe of the Son of Heaven in Buyi, but the kind of care that the elders looked at the juniors.
"Your Majesty, Tan is old and tired, and I don't want to be involved in the intrigue between the royal family and the government and the opposition in the future, I am close friends with the first emperor, and I also watched you grow up, and my Tan Yuansheng's energy is so much."
At this moment, the emperor had the idea of abolishing the crown prince in his heart!
