"What are you laughing at? It's your turn! Gu Dayong held up the card in his hand.

Lu Qi hugged the white peacock in his arms, with a smile on his lips: "It's nothing, it's just a good card." ”

At this time, Wang Shouren and Yan Songzheng, who received the holy decree, were at home, and neither of them expected that the emperor would skip the Criminal Department and Dali Temple and directly order them to investigate the case.

This case involves the former emperor, the imperial doctor, the Ministry of Rites and the new emperor's favored ministers, no matter which angle is very sensitive, in case it is not handled well, I am afraid that I will offend many people, but the holy decree has been issued, and the two can only take the decree hard.

After removing the incense case and sending away the internal officials who announced the decree, Wang Shouren read the decree carefully twice, and thought about it strangely.

Touching the clear beard that had gradually grown on his chin, Wang Shouren still felt that he was going to meet his father, but who knew that Wang Hua didn't say right or wrong after seeing it, but asked his son a question:

"Lu Yunqi, what do you think of him?"

"General Lu?" Wang Shouren thought about it carefully: "My son rarely meets him on weekdays to avoid the suspicion of the township party, and I only hear that he is famous, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Wang Hua's fingers tapped lightly on the table: "The people say that he is an infatuated genius who stands up for the people, and the officials say that he is a cunning villain." The emperor valued him, and today he made a big fuss in the palace in order to reward him. ”

"It seems that the great traitor is almost loyal, and the great loyalty is almost traitorous, this Lu Shen general is really incomprehensible!" Wang Shouren sighed lightly.

Wang Hua pondered for a moment:

"When he first saw the emperor, he drove the prelude, and he also heard about his father. Open the sea and ban ships, and trade to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Although the plan is a little whimsical, it is a joy to hear the first emperor Longyan.

At that time, Lu Yun was awarded the birth of a fellow jinshi and entered the East Palace to study for the prince. Lu Yun was just a talent in the countryside before, why do you want to do this strange thing? ”

yes, weird thing.

It stands to reason that anyone with a discerning eye in the court can see that this Lu Shen General must be the emperor's confidant, how could he be linked to the murder of the emperor?

Wang Shouren doesn't know how Lu Shenjiang is a person, but he has been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and Wang Shouren knows too much about Wang Qiong's old stubbornness in abiding by etiquette and law, Wang Qiong will never do something untargeted, right?

"In any case, you just have to investigate the case impartially." Wang Hua put away the holy decree and put it on the altar: "Since Wang Shangshu is involved in the affairs of the former emperor, then I will find out what he is." ”

Looking at a bamboo picture of Tang Yinlan hanging on the wall, Wang Shouren slowly saluted: "It is exactly what I want." ”

……

Yan Song, who received the holy decree, sat in the study, smiling all over his face, as if he had penetrated the heavens.

Wei Cheng had finished practicing today's book and came up to hand in his homework, Yan Song looked back at it, only to see that the paper was neatly written, "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island", although the pen will still tremble, but it is already a good progress.

When Zhu Houzhao asked him to enlighten Wei Cheng, Yan Song was still a little worried.

I heard that the emperor loves this "royal brother" very much, and he is rewarded with gold, silver and silk brocade every day, Yan Song is afraid that he is a difficult master.

But after getting along these days, I found that Wei Cheng's character is really old, and he doesn't need to be urged to read, he will read through the article several times before class, and he understands faster than ordinary children.

In particular, there is an arithmetic method that I don't know where to learn, and giving him a piece of paper is not worse than those inspectors who dial the abacus all year round in the household department.

"Well, it's a bit of progress." Yan Song looked at the homework and nodded solemnly: "Then today's teaching will end here, there are some errands to be done for the teacher, you and practice what you originally taught, and teach the rest in the future." ”

"Yes."

Wei Cheng bowed.

Glancing at his serious disciple, Yan Song unconsciously softened down: "Your Majesty just sent a holy decree, do you know what errand you are going to do for your teacher?" ”

"The disciple doesn't know, thinking that this holy decree is not given to the disciple, how dare he rashly speculate?" Wei Cheng replied respectfully.

Yan Song choked up depressed for a second before he sighed and said, "Your Majesty's will is to order the teacher to investigate the case of General Lu Yun and General Lu." ”

Wei Cheng raised his head suddenly: "Lord Lu? Didn't he go to Huangzhuang? How can you still be involved in a case? ”

"It was Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who sued the royal court, but you can rest assured, Lu Shen will act upright, ask for the people's life, and the teacher will act impartially and clear his grievances." Yan Song reassured.

Wei Cheng was a little relieved: "There is Master Lao Yan." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Waiting for Wei Cheng to say goodbye and leave, Yan Song stroked his slight beard under his chin and thought in his heart.

still remembers that when the Dragon Boat Festival was leading the soup, Lu Qi gave him his bowl, at that time Yan Song was just an ordinary jinshi, and Lu Qi was already a waiter in the East Palace, the status gap between the two was huge, but Lu Qi had no scruples.

This "grace of a soup", Yan Song firmly remembered it in his heart.

Originally, recently, in the Spring Fang and the imperial court, rumors that Lu Qi was a courtier were spread everywhere, as if they were spread in some gentleman's association, although he disagreed in his heart, but he could only keep silent for the sake of Mingzhe's life.

But now Yan Song understands it.

It was the emperor's intention to make him Wei Cheng's master, and Wei Cheng had a close relationship with General Lu, and now that the emperor ordered him to investigate this case, wouldn't the holy will be obvious?

"I just want to think that Wang Shangshu said this, and Your Majesty ordered me to pretend to check it out in order to block the mouths of the people, right?"

Yan Song unfolded the holy decree again: "Huh? This king is also named a temporary imperial history? I wonder if he can guess the holy will? In case he doesn't understand, it's okay. ”

……

After noon, the two imperial histories with their own thoughts met outside the noon gate.

But what is surprising is that the sedan chair of Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, somehow stopped at the noon gate, as if waiting for the two of them.

"Two Imperial History." Seeing that Wang and Yan had arrived, Wang Qiong got off the sedan chair: "I met by chance at the palace gate, did the two of you come to investigate the case by order?" ”

Wang Shouren hurriedly surrendered his hand: "I've seen Wang Shangshu!" ”

Yan Song also made a literati salute: "Back to Wang Shangshu, exactly!" The lower officials and others were about to enter the palace in response to the edict. ”

"Okay, it just so happens that the old man also has something to enter the palace to face the saint, why don't you go?"

The two of them are indispensable.

On the way to the palace, Wang Qiong carefully recounted the mistakes in the imperial recipe, how to use Zhao Er to break Yun Qing's lies, and how to find out the relationship between Lu Qi and Gao Tinghe.

The two imperial historians, who were still confused about the case, suddenly listened to his narration, and the two even felt that they could already be convicted.

But they couldn't listen to one side of the story, so Wang and Yan went to the imperial pharmacy and retrieved the imperial recipe to check it again.

Sure enough, as Wang Qiong said, Gao Tinghe's recipe is problematic.

The two went to check around again, the owner of the Cui Pavilion really saved the wife of General Lu, and Zhao Er recorded a confession, telling the situation of seeing Yun Qing with a nose and eyes.

After checking until dark, none of the evidence Wang Qiong said was lost, and all of them could be matched.

There were no more clues today, so the two of them found a restaurant called Qinglanlou, found a private room, and asked for some food to fill their stomachs.

"Brother Yangming, the younger brother has a question, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Yan Song lowered his eyebrows and stared at the small teacup in front of him.

Wang Shouren kept his chopsticks, and raised his head when he heard the words: "Only Brother Zhong, please speak." ”

Yan Song leaned closer and said, "Brother Yangming, do you feel that the two of us seem to be being led by the nose?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Shouren put down the chopsticks: "Why do you say this? ”
