The emperor held the case file in his hand, read it quietly, his face was not shocked, no matter who it was, he couldn't tell whether he was shocked or angry at the moment, Shen Nian stood with his hands down, calm and calm, except for the sound of breathing in the imperial study, there was nothing else, and Gonggong Mo's back was already in two layers of cold sweat, after all, he had been with the emperor for many years, and he knew that the more he was silent, the more the wind and rain were about to come.

"There are a few flaws in Shen Aiqing's closing documents, and I am a little unclear." The emperor's finger was pointed at a certain place and tapped twice, "Who is Huafeng doing things for?" ”

"Judging by the situation, it should be a word."

"Where is his outer chamber Chunniang now?"

"I went back to my hometown in the countryside and settled down."

"Why didn't you keep her?" The emperor's tone was a little too flat, as if something was frozen between his eyebrows.

"It's just a woman who doesn't know how to ask, it's useless to stay, she said that going back to her hometown is the best plan." Shen Nianyi couldn't see anything, since the emperor didn't want to break it, then he pushed the boat with the water.

"I don't know if I don't ask, a woman knows that her husband is a waiter in the criminal department, and she really doesn't know if she doesn't ask!" The emperor suddenly raised his voice and said, "Is this judgment a joke just for me alone?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen remembers that once the emperor talked to Weichen about the concubines in the harem, although Lin Guifei is also dignified and beautiful, but she is definitely not the most stunning, why the emperor has been favored by her for many years, and is unwilling to let go." Shen Nianyi replied in a low voice, "The emperor said that the biggest advantage of Concubine Lin is that she doesn't know how to ask, and she never says a word that shouldn't be said, so it's easiest for the emperor to feel at ease by her side." ”

Of course the emperor remembers this sentence, and this is no longer a secret of the harem, many people know that Lin Guifei has such a ability, but it is even more difficult to learn to copy it, sometimes it is the most difficult for people to control their own mouth, often they can endure it three or two times, and they can't help it for a long time.

"That is to say, there is indeed such a woman, according to Weichen, Hua Feng is ruthless, and he has been kind to this Chun Niang in five years, one is that Chun Niang served wholeheartedly and gave birth to a daughter, and the other is that Chun Niang is simple-minded, just want to find a good person who can rely on him, and has no other ideas."

The emperor took a deep breath, and Gong Mo felt that the cold sweat on his forehead began to flow non-stop, Shen Shaoqing has been getting more and more bold recently, and he actually dared to confront the emperor in person, this government and the opposition are afraid that he dares to behave like this, but he doesn't know that there are definitely many people who want to stab him secretly behind his back, and it is not all based on the emperor's joy and anger.

"So, Fan Jiming, who killed Hua Feng, is not the real murderer, do you think there is someone behind him?"

"Not only is there a command, but Hua Feng's death should be related to his direct desire to get out of Yiyantang, not that he abandons evil and follows good, but that he is more ambitious, and he feels full-fledged, and he doesn't need to obey Yiyantang's command at all, the emperor can take a look, the list attached by Weichen after the case file, although the outer house has been burned, but most of the jewelry is still there, Huafeng's position as a waiter in the criminal department, the gold and silver treasures in the family are definitely not a normal amount."

"It's so much that you need to build another outhouse to fit it?" The emperor's facial features loosened slightly, but they were not as tight as Fang Cai, "If Yiyantang doesn't do anything to him, what will he do?" ”

"Leave Tiandu silently, or disguise a state of suspended animation, and completely break away from the clamps of both parties." Shen Nianyi has thought about this question too many times, Hua Feng was assassinated in Dali Temple, the wound itself is absolutely critical, and it was Tang Churou who was by his side watching him slowly breathe because of excessive blood loss and excessive injuries.

Then, you can directly rule out the possibility of fake death, Hua Feng wanted to fake his death, but he didn't expect Yiyantang to give him a real death.

"Even if he wants to break away from Yiyantang, why don't you wait for him to leave before killing him, even if he has the heart to live in seclusion, but with so many things outside his body, is it possible that he can really hide in the deep mountains and old forests?" The emperor was a little interested when he heard it, "Didn't Shen Aiqing think about it, maybe he wanted to do something more ambitious." ”

"Hua Feng is a person, his ambition is not small, but he is not very bold, Yiyantang did it before he absconded, because he was afraid that his movements would be seen by the emperor, so that the imperial court would take the first step to control it, and then say something that should not be said." After all, Hua Feng is still a servant of the Criminal Department, so he is definitely not a mere nobody in Yiyantang, one person has done a lot of things to help the organization, and he has been doing a lot of things, and he is a person who is familiar with the way of officialdom, how can he not also grasp some confidential news of the other party in turn.

Yiyantang has not been broken so far, and even the clues left behind are often cleaned up and scrubbed too cleanly, Shen Nianyi has always suspected that there are many eyeliners in the court, and he is often able to take a step forward and pinch the vital point, so many manpower and material resources are thrown down, it is like a drift, which makes people hate the root of their teeth.

If you want to say that you hate Yiyantang, there are a lot of people in the court, Shen Nianyi can be regarded as one of them, Dali Temple has made great achievements in handling cases and executing cases over the years, but every time it is planted in the hands of the same person, falling and getting up, falling and getting up, it is a person who is determined to be strong, and there are times when he wants to give up.

However, Shen Nianyi's life creed still does not have these two words, and the emperor is convinced of this more than anyone else, so he has always let go of these things, so that he has no hesitation and does not have any worries.

"Therefore, the dead are the safest." Shen Nianyi sighed lightly and said, "Not only him, Ma Zhen in the Criminal Department also died in the hands of the same people, but Ma Zhen's parents died, and he had no wife and children, and the family was small, and the situation at home was passable. ”

"The omission of the Criminal Department is so big, no wonder the Criminal Department Shangshu can't afford to be sick, it has been more than ten days, probably this old boy knows that he has to be implicated in the punishment, and wants to hide and see the movement." The emperor sneered, "This matter is not under the direct jurisdiction of Dali Temple, otherwise I will punish you for your crimes." ”

Shen Nian was relieved when he heard that the emperor had already relented, obviously not preparing to pursue the two daughters of Chunniang and Mrs. Hua, and his heart only settled a point or two, but he saw Gonggong Mo standing behind the emperor, squeezing his eyebrows at him, Rao is no matter how smart he was, he didn't react for a while, but Gonggong Mo was in a hurry, gesturing there with one hand.

Following that hand, Shen Nian saw the long scroll spread flat on the table in the imperial study, his eyesight was excellent, and he saw that what was written on it was the list to be selected, and suddenly understood Gonggong Mo's gesture, but he didn't expect that the matter to be selected was inextricably linked to him, a foreign minister who had nothing to do with it.

"This is the final shortlist, and there are twenty-four women's names on it." The emperor obviously also noticed his gaze, and he didn't have any scruples, he drew the list into his hand and handed it to him, "Do you want to take a look?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare." Shen Nianyi just wanted to know if the person who was most concerned was on it, and what did the rest of the twenty or so people have to do with him.

"Don't dare?" The emperor laughed, but there was no annoyance in the laughter, "This sentence is really the most interesting I heard today, inside and outside the palace, inside and outside the court, there are still things that Shen Aiqing doesn't dare?" ”

Although Shen Nianyi stood upright, when he heard this, his handsome face couldn't help but blush: "The emperor gave Weichen a slap in the face when he said this." ”

"I don't dare." The emperor was completely relieved, "Shen Aiqing has never taken personnel other than official affairs in his eyes, but he didn't expect to make an exception, this Sun girl is really so good?" ”

"Miss Sun is a family affair set by my mother for Weichen."

"Don't use those two of you as an excuse, no one knows which col the idle clouds and wild cranes are running to to have a good time." The emperor snorted angrily and said, "I only ask you, are you willing to do this family business?" ”

"Wechen is not going to marry." Shen Nian didn't think about it for a while, and answered directly.

"Okay, if you don't marry, you'd better remember that you promised me, even if you really become a relative in the future, her duties must not be let go, and don't prevaricate with me for any reason when the time comes, otherwise I will definitely cure the two of you for their crimes." The emperor simply pulled the list in front of him, "The twenty-four people above are all carefully selected, and with such a foundation as the Sun family, they can't send their daughters to the palace to enjoy wealth and glory." ”

Shen Nianyi was silent, but there was a little smile at the corners of his mouth and eyes.

"The rest of these women, I don't think you have much interest, and I can't remember too much of their family background, so I won't introduce them to you one by one, and then I will slowly think about the long run." The emperor seemed to have only thought that Shen Nianyi had been standing straight in front of him for more than an hour, "Gonggong Mo, show Shen Aiqing a seat." ”

"Wechen is not tired standing still."

"You are not tired when you stand, but I am tired when I tilt my neck and talk to you." The emperor asked Gonggong Mo to make tea again, and casually asked about the sudden return of the county lord of Fengqing to Tiandu, "I still can't restrain my temper after getting married, so I rushed to Changchun Palace, what kind of age is the Queen Mother, where can I withstand it, this time I can still cope with the past, next time, I was surprised to realize that Changchun Palace is smooth on weekdays, if it is a little bad, there is really no decent manpower." ”

"The emperor means that he wants Dali Temple to arrange manpower?" Shen Nianfang understood the true purpose of the emperor sending Gonggong Mo out to make tea.

"I don't really want to alarm the Queen Mother, you quietly get this matter done, not too many people, one or two are enough, but it's just a precautionary caution, I am such a queen mother, I really don't want her old man to have half a fork." The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Shen Aiqing understands?" ”

"Weichen received the order, and he definitely lived up to the emperor's trust."

"If you are derelict in your duties?"

"Punish felonies."

"Good."
