Chapter 185: The Storm Is Coming
Changming Palace, Xinuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, there's news from the south!"
"Oh, give it to me." On the soft collapse, Emperor Yongxi was in good spirits, pushed away the palace maid who was beating her legs, sat up straight and commanded.
The eunuch Qixi hurriedly stepped forward and presented a sealed bamboo tube.
"You're not going to see it, are you?"
"Slaves don't dare." Qixi was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said.
"I don't dare." Emperor Yongxi took off the seal, poured out a paper roll, unfolded it, glanced at the contents, smiled, and directly removed the lampshade on the table, and burned the note on the spot.
"Have you checked Luo Xiaoqi's heels?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Imperial City Division has reported, I have checked, and there is no problem." Seven Joy Road.
"No problem, then where did his medical skills come from, did he fall from the sky, and he didn't know how to find a better excuse to fool me?" Emperor Yongxi said angrily, "What about Wang Hai, what about others? ”
"Father-in-law Wang has been suffering from a cold wind and is resting in bed recently."
"This old thing, he's lazier than me!" Emperor Yongxi scolded, "Other than that, doesn't he have a word of explanation?" ”
"Wang Gonggong said that Luo Xiaoqi once used the pseudonym of 'Westwalker' to auction a fragment of the "Green Capsule Codex" at the No. 1 Auction House in the ghost market."
"The Green Capsule Codex, a medical book written by Medicine Demon Su Xiaoye a hundred years ago?" Emperor Yongxi was surprised.
"Yes."
"He's a spy in the south, what is he doing when he buys a medical book?"
"Father-in-law Wang also said that before this, he had also visited many bookstores and medicine pavilions in Nanshi, and also bought a lot of books about medicinal herbs."
"Self-taught, could this guy be a genius?" When Emperor Yongxi heard this, he muttered to himself, is there really such a character in this world?
"Let him write a detailed note and submit it!"
"Your Majesty, this is what Father-in-law Wang asked the slave to hand over to you." Qixi took out a book from his cuff and held it high.
"Why didn't you take this dog out just now?"
"Your Majesty just asked the slave maid."
"I remember that you entered Nanya in the same batch as this Luo Xiaoqi, and your qualifications were not good enough, so you entered the palace with a ruthless heart, right?" Emperor Yongxi took the fold and asked slowly.
"What Your Majesty said, the slave doesn't quite understand."
"Wang Hai accepted you as a righteous son, didn't he tell you Luo Xiaoqi's identity?" Emperor Yongxi said, "Don't pretend to be in front of me." ”
"The slaves and maids left very early, even if Luo Xiaoqi and the slaves and maids entered the Nanya secret camp in the same batch, what did they do?" Qixi knelt down.
"Okay, I didn't suspect you anything, I just wanted to know about this Luo Xiaoqi's situation in the Nanya secret camp, you are not interesting like this."
"Your Majesty, the slave maid was only twelve years old when she left, and her childhood memories have long been blurred, and the one you said, Your Majesty, the slave and maid did not have much contact with him."
"Okay, I don't ask, you can go down." Emperor Yongxi waved his hand and signaled that Qixi didn't need to stay and wait.
This kid is clever, knows how to advance and retreat, what to say, what to ask, and is much easier to use than those little eunuchs in the palace.
……
"Through the investigation and questioning of the people who took refuge in Luojing from Yangzhou in the past few days, as well as business travelers, Ding Xian, the deputy envoy of Yangzhou regimental training, does not have much sense of existence in Yangzhou officialdom, he has lived in Yangzhou for three years, basically living in seclusion, rarely participating in colleague gatherings, and can be said to be an invisible person in the officialdom......" Wu Jiong, the newly promoted lieutenant, introduced the relevant investigation.
"Yangzhou is the land of fireworks, he is a single man, so he doesn't go to that kind of place?" Dali Temple Cheng Lai Junjie asked.
"Lord Lai is also single, do you have to go to a secret place?" Qingyi cross-examined.
Lai Junjie smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, he may have been, but none of the people we asked mentioned relevant information." Wu Jiong continued to answer.
"Ding Xian is a person who practices martial arts, and he has no relevant contact with Yangzhou martial arts?" Ye Liuli asked.
"Yes, Ding Xian's most contact is a dart bureau called Zhenwei, this Zhenwei dart bureau is the industry of the Huadu Sword School in Yangzhou, Ding Xian's Yangzhou militia has a close relationship with the Zhenwei dart bureau, it is a cooperative relationship, when the number of goods is large, the Zhenwei dart bureau will ask the militia to help escort, there is an official escort, and it has a deterrent effect on the general bandits."
"Did he have any contact with Nan Chu's secret spy?"
"There is no relevant discovery in the information that can be found so far."
"Counselor Ye, Your Majesty has ordered us to find out within ten days, tomorrow is the day of recovery, how can we go back now?" Lai Junjie asked Ye Liuli.
"There is no evidence!"
Lai Junjie was stunned when he heard this, even if he didn't find out the exact evidence, he couldn't be so perfunctory to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty couldn't do anything to you, but what about us people?
"Lord Lai, the investigation of the case must be based on facts, we can't make up nonsense and joke about the laws of the imperial court, right?" Qingyi said, "Even if Ding Xian has committed a crime, but it is not his crime, it can't be forced on someone's head, right?" ”
"Then give your majesty a fold?"
"Now that the time limit has come, it can only be like this, Lai Sicheng, do you want to sign the excerpt with me, or will we each go on the excerpt separately?" Ye Liuli asked.
"Counselor Ye, you are the host of this case, and the lower officials are only assisting in handling it, so this is naturally co-signed with you." Lai Junjie said busily.
"That's good, I've written an excerpt here, and I'll bother Lai Sicheng to sign it with his name." Ye Liuli directly took out a copy of the already written fold and handed it over.
Lai Junjie opened it and couldn't help frowning, this is clearly a closing letter, the Liu family was released, Ding Xian, there is no evidence for collaborating with the enemy and treason, but it is a big crime to destroy the Sheng family's leather store, but his person has been killed by the phantom of the Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall, so he can't escort the body to the execution ground and behead it again, right?
So this case is over, and it is even easier to explain to Xirong, and the murderer was also killed by you, what else should you do? You puppet hall people haven't said anything about killing the four sons of Chengguo yet!
His signing is equivalent to agreeing with this judgment, which makes Lai Junjie extremely entangled, this is not his task.
The boss whispered to him, just to ask him to catch the evidence of Ding Xian's "collaboration with the enemy and treason", even if it was suspicious.
If you hand it over, your career will not be finished?
But if you don't sign it, you can't do it, the words are all said, if you really refuse, Ye Liuli can't pass this level, it's hard to die.
"If Lai Sicheng doesn't want to sign, don't force it, and this counselor doesn't like to be strong." Ye Liuli said lightly, not caring at all.
"Counselor Ye, isn't it too hasty to close the case like this?"
"There is no way for this counselor, His Majesty gave him ten days, and he will have the result in ten days, and in ten days, I can only give this result."
"Then can't you ask Your Majesty to give me some more time?"
"Who will say, you go, or I go, this is a thankless task."
"The Counselor can ask Commander Pei or the Metropolitan Governor to come and say?"
"Master Pei has just taken office, he is busy, how can he have this kung fu, not to mention, why should he listen to me, as for the Grand Governor, he doesn't care about anything now, so he won't go to His Majesty for this little thing, isn't it uncomfortable to find it himself?"
"What about this ......"
What Lai Junjie wants to say is, don't you just go for yourself, you are a princess, if you really open your mouth, will Your Majesty refute your face?
But he didn't dare to open his mouth.
This case was ordered by His Majesty to let Ye Liuli take over, and people didn't want to handle it in the first place, but now find an opportunity to close the case, get rid of it, and continue to investigate, that fool will listen to you.
The article is not in the case itself, but outside the case.
His Majesty wants to use Ding Xian's case to involve Cheng Guogong, Ding Xian is obviously not enough, the Liu family can do it, if Ding Xian collaborates with the enemy and treason, and the Liu family covers up and hides, it is naturally an accomplice.
The Liu family and Shen Zhuang are in-laws, and Liu Qian is still Shen Zhuang's eldest brother, so they are involved.
His Majesty wants to beat Cheng Guogong, and at the same time he doesn't want to face him directly, so he puts the princess Ye Liuli in front, anyway, he is going to marry the princess, and it doesn't matter if he offends.
"Will Lai Sicheng sign or not, or will Lord Lai find definite evidence before tomorrow?" Ye Liuli asked directly.
The sweat on Lai Junjie's forehead came down.
"Counselor Ye, can the lower official give you an answer later?"
"Yes, before the counselor hands over the fold, as long as Lai Sicheng wants to sign it, he can come at any time." Ye Liuli did not persecute again.
She has already tried to figure out that this Lai Junjie is the emperor's person, this case is originally deep, if he is a smart person, if he can close the case when someone is thundering in front of him, he should push the boat down the river, but he didn't do it.
Suffice it to say that he came with a mission.
From the fact that he was guarding No. 3 Pingkangfang before, waiting for him to bring someone to search, it can be seen that this guy's purpose is not pure.
"Counselor Ye, Master Hou, please go to Qinglang immediately!" Suddenly, a small official came in from outside the door, who was the person who was waiting beside Ye Hou.
"What is the matter with Master Hou?"
"The villain doesn't know."
"Qingyi, let's go, go over and take a look." Watching Ye Liuli and Qingyi leave in a hurry, Lai Junjie couldn't help but have a bad premonition, this is something big about happening.
Ye Liuli and Qingyi came to Sansi Hall and saw Ye Hou and Yao Wenzhong, the commander of Jing'an Division, who were also there.
"Your Highness, this is the eagle letter I just received, the Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Valley and the Great Elder and his party encountered a snowstorm in Anle Town, Shuozhou, and then they were attacked halfway, the battle was very tragic, and the Lie Xuan of the Chengguo Mansion brought people to arrive, which saved them." Yao Wenzhong got up and hugged his fists.
"Who did it?"
"Your Majesty's Black Feather Guard." Ye Hou said slowly.
"What?" Ye Liuli was taken aback when he heard this, Hei Yuwei was directly subordinate to Emperor Yongxi's personal guard, and there were only three thousand people in total, all of whom were selected from the true martial arts students, and they were all loyal, the minimum cultivation was all four grades, one-tenth of the third-grade masters, dozens of martial arts masters, and four first-grade grandmasters.
This personal guard has been stationed in the capital, guarding the safety of the palace, and it is easy not to leave the capital, and no one can move without the edict of Emperor Yongxi.
Black Feather Guard intercepted and killed the Holy Maiden and the Great Elder of the Medicine King Valley, and he didn't even hide his identity, what did Your Majesty want to do?
"The Medicine King Valley has been quite deep in Southern Chu over the years, and as a Great Zhou Martial Arts Sect, he colluded with Southern Chu behind his back, and His Majesty has long been dissatisfied with it." Ye Hou explained, "This time it's just a pretext to play on purpose, I think Your Majesty will definitely find a legitimate reason to explain this matter." ”
"Is this a sore foot that caught the Medicine King Valley?"
"I don't know, this majesty is doing this, I'm afraid that he may not want to tear his face with the Medicine King Valley." Yao Wenzhong analyzed.
"The storm is coming, so be cautious."
