Chapter 139: Return to the carbine
Hua Feng really wanted to ask, how did Shen Nianyi know the secret order given by the emperor to the criminal subordinates, he was just curious, but since he had already sat in the position of the squire of the criminal department, he was also a person who knew proportion, there were some words that should not be asked, it was best to hold it back, and it was best to hold it in his stomach and rot.
Shen Nian was about to say goodbye, immediately changed his clothes, and was about to enter the palace, of course Hua Feng didn't know, the reason why he knew was not that the emperor had leaked in front of him, but that he waited for the news from the blind man, coupled with Liu Lulin's reaction, several clues twisted together, and they converged in his mind, which couldn't be clearer.
Since, someone secretly framed Fu Renzhai and the blind man knew this name, then more people will know, even including the emperor, Dali Temple did not receive a secret order to investigate Fu Renzhai's background, so the emperor thought that he handed over this important task to the Criminal Department, and in addition, the four knives of the Criminal Department were left in such a peaceful day, only Ma Zhen was left, and where did the other three go?
He didn't want to help Fu Renzhai with this big favor, but he didn't want the emperor to make a decision that he regretted, and he didn't want to leave more concealment because of his thoughts.
He credulously believed Guo Yongping's testimony, which is the biggest flaw, if it weren't for Shi Laosan and him having a relationship, Guo Yongping's reckless words of unknown origin would not be taken to heart at all, someone has already calculated his weakness, no more, no less, just a little bit, and his sympathy for the old man is enough enough.
Hua Feng personally sent him out of the criminal department, his attitude was too polite, he sat in the carriage when he came up, and said in a deep voice: "Go back to Dali Temple first." ”
When the carriage moved, he temporarily changed his mind: "Don't delay the time, go directly to the palace." ”
"My lord, the emperor is happy." When Huo Yongyang saw that Shen Nianyi came out of the criminal department, he didn't know what filth was stained on his body, and he was very choked, and when he heard him say that he wanted to enter the palace directly, he couldn't help but remind him.
"The facts of the case are important, and even if the emperor is happy, he can't hide all the dirty things in the world, just as if it never happened." The corners of Shen Nianyi's mouth slowly provoked a faint smile, "In the world, the person who understands best is probably the emperor." ”
Shen Shaoqing entered the palace all the way, and it was not surprising that the chamberlain immediately came forward to greet people, it was Gonggong Mo beside the emperor, he followed behind, and heard Gonggong Mo say, the emperor just got up from a nap and was eating snacks, Shen Shaoqing was really coincidental when he came, he was silent, only listened and did not speak.
"Your Majesty, Shen Shaoqing is here." Grandpa Mo smiled and raised the curtain.
"Shen Aiqing came just in time, to taste this sweet soup, and the cooks have spent a lot of effort to make such a flattering gadget." When he reclined on the Huali couch today, his smile just rose, but his eyebrows wrinkled, "Where did you come from, it smells so big, why don't you hurry up and fetch water to wash Shen Aiqing's face." ”
"Wechen is from the prison of the Criminal Department." Shen Nianyi lowered his eyebrows and said, the smell on his body is definitely not something that can be washed off by washing his face.
"Walking around the prison of the Criminal Department, you can smoke people to death, and when you look back and see Huafeng, you want to talk to him, even if the people in it are all heinous people, he goes in and out all day long, and it is not the same as being contaminated with habits." The emperor said with a warm smile.
"When Weichen arrived at the prison of the Criminal Department, there were some mistakes there, someone poisoned the food, and poisoned Guo Yongping, the witness of the He Yushi family's murder tragedy." Shen Nian glanced at his nose, and said again.
Father-in-law Mo had already personally filled a golden basin with warm water and brought it to him, Shen Nian turned to one side, slowly rolled up his sleeves, picked up the water and splashed it on his face, and immediately someone handed him a soft gauze towel and asked him to wipe it.
"How many died?" The emperor asked lightly.
"What Weichen saw were two, one of which was an old disease."
"So, it's the hand that moves when you see the target?" The emperor twitched his nose, shook his head and said, "Shen Aiqing's body, I'm afraid I have to bathe and change clothes to get the smell." ”
"Guo Yongping is dead, and a very critical clue has been broken."
"The case of the He family has not been decided, what clues do you need?"
"No, the case of the He family is that Weichen is not in a good position, and if he listens to a word, he will go astray, but in fact, it is not the work of Yiyantang, let alone Fu Renzhai, a scholar of Hallym University."
The emperor's eyebrows and eyes couldn't be calmer, and he asked with a smile with great interest: "It's not Yiyantang, it's not Fu Renzhai, then Shen Aiqing must always give the widow a definite answer, otherwise, the widow will still do what was originally decided." ”
"Your Majesty, Scholar Fu was involved in this case, someone wanted to deliberately frame him, Scholar Fu has excellent knowledge, even the emperor once praised him for being as good as a stream, how could he be stupid, buy murder, and deliberately hide his name for fear that the killer would not know, and tell the truth." Shen Nianyi suddenly had a feeling that the blind man in Chipu Lane, he had always thought it was a dark line, and it was simply a tent spread out in front of the emperor, which was clear at a glance, so he didn't avoid it or hide, and said it directly.
"The widow remembers, you and Fu Renzhai have no intersection." The emperor put down the small porcelain bowl in his hand and said slowly.
"Yes, it's just a nod of friends, Dali Temple and Hanlin Academy are originally separate, and they rarely come and go."
"A while ago, the Scholar of the Hanlin Academy had some disagreements with you, but so?"
"The third son of the bachelor was involved in the Red Pill case, and he wanted to keep his beloved son, so he was a bit radical."
"The Red Pill case has not been found out so far, Shen Aiqing, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is not in a hurry?" The emperor said with a smile, "Could it be that the widow did not give a time limit, so it can be delayed again and again, He Qihu's extermination case, the widow specially called you back, you were ordered to be in danger, and then arrested the person back, and sent back the list hidden in the seamless, but now he came to tell the widow, the person was wrong, and the murderer was wrong, Shen Nianyi, do you want to provoke the widow, or do you want to take the blame yourself!" ”
After a few words, the emperor's sleeves brushed the table heavily, and swept all the bowls and spoons containing sweet soup to the ground, clinking a few times, smashing them, and a room of palace maids and maids were all so frightened that they knelt in place, not daring to move.
Shen Nian's lips moved slightly, but he saw Mo Gongcheng standing behind the emperor, squeezing his eyebrows at him, signaling him not to speak again, and to endure his anger for a while, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past, let the emperor belittle him again, how many people are secretly waiting to fall into the well, at this time, you must not be rash.
"Why, why don't you speak, the widow asks you!" The emperor scolded sharply.
"Your Majesty, the Red Pill case is indeed unfavorable for Weichen." Shen Nian avoided the important and light, this stall, he really can't give up the official position of Dali Temple, there are too many cases, and he can't afford to delay.
The emperor knew that he had always been stubborn, so he waited for him to refute his defense, and then beat him hard, but he didn't expect him to cooperate like this, and he actually admitted it obediently, but instead let himself make a full belly of drafts, a word useless, all the words poured into his mouth, and he couldn't spit out a word.
"Wechen is willing to accept the guilt for the Red Pill case." Shen Nian lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down, and said with a straight face.
"The widow didn't let you talk about the Red Pill case at this moment." The emperor was angry, and he had no place to vent, so he said hatefully, "The widow has ordered the criminal department to take over He Qihu's case, what are you going to do with the horse pistol again, you want to beat the widow's face!" ”
"Wechen has no such intention." Shen Nianyi knelt with a straight back, his figure was long, even if he knelt, his neck line was smooth, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were also good-looking, and every word was sonorous and powerful, so no one could doubt it.
"Then you mean that this case must be investigated to the end?" When the emperor arrived here, he was not angry but laughed, "It turned out that it was the face of the Criminal Department that was going to be hit, and there are really no capable people in the Criminal Department." ”
A thought flashed through Shen Nian's heart, did the emperor really not know that the He family's case was not the work of Yiyantang, the pages hidden in the seamless, the most important information was recorded on it, and only the emperor could see it, so at that time, why did the emperor follow his answer.
The person who has always wanted to cover up the truth, is it the emperor?
In this case, the person who can send someone to commit a black hand in the prison of the Criminal Department is really a very good character, the more Shen Nianyi thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes, the emperor is so angry about Fu Renzhai's matter, maybe there is something to hide.
The emperor stood up, his boots stepped on the broken porcelain, making a slight cracking sound, and his voice was very low: "Shen Aiqing, since the widow said that the case is already over, then it is regarded as yes, the last witness has already died in prison, even if he does not have to be poisoned, it is also a capital crime, and there is not much difference between earlier and later." ”
Shen Nianyi was silent.
"As for Fu Renzhai's case, you must intervene, the people in the Criminal Department have the means and methods to find the real answer for the widow, Shen Aiqing understands the meaning of the widow?" One of the emperor's hands pressed his shoulder and pressed down, "Although Fu Renzhai does not have the courage to commit treason, it does not mean that he will not do other wrong things, when the widow talks about this, Shen Aiqing also told the widow the truth, will you secretly obstruct the criminal department in handling the case?" ”
"Wechen doesn't dare."
"As far as the widow knows, Fu Renzhai and you have no deep friendship, but when Fu Renzhai was young, he met a very capable folk master, he even helped the Fu family's ancestral home, and asked for it back from the patriarch's hands, and this master happened to live in the Sun family, the widow often heard the concubines of the harem talk about this Sun family, and the widows are familiar with it, the rouge pollen of the Sun family is full of first-class goods, Shen Aiqing thinks, should the widow go to the Sun family to see, ask for a secret recipe to make such a subtle thing?"
Shen Nianyi already knew that the emperor had already linked the Sun family and Fu Renzhai through the simplest line, and the other end of the chain was still the one he was most nervous about.
"The widow has given so many precious medicinal materials, and it is normal to want to see the results, Shen Aiqing, right?" The emperor took another step forward and crushed the fragments of the soles of his feet into powder.
