The day after the case of Tangnanfu was finally escorted back to Beijing, something happened in the palace.

One of His Majesty's concubines is dead, and the current crown prince is still lying beside him.

When he was found, the prince was still in a coma, and the two were not in a single line.

Emperor Qianhao was furious and immediately took the prince into custody.

He also ordered the Supervision Yuan, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple to cooperate in a thorough investigation of the matter, and the truth must be ascertained within seven days.

So the three bigwigs got together to discuss the investigation of the case.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing knew that this case would definitely involve a battle for imperial power, so they both adhered to one purpose: to hide --- as much as possible.

Du Yushi Qin Mu had an indifferent attitude, saying that he could arrange someone to lead the investigation of the case.

However, in the name of the joint handling of the case by the three departments, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple must fully cooperate.

This proposal was reluctantly accepted by the other two, who knew that it would be impossible to completely dismiss it.

Moreover, Qin Mu's grade is higher than them, and it is often said that the official is a senior who crushes people to death.

Therefore, Qin Mu left with the appointment document jointly issued by the three departments.

Xia Solstice was called, and the appointing instrument was handed into his hands.

What's the situation? Let me go and investigate the prince's case, what case did the prince commit?

"Yesterday there was a big event in the palace, Concubine Xiao died in her bedroom, and the prince slept soundly.

His Majesty was furious, put the prince in prison, and ordered the Supervision Yuan to investigate the case thoroughly in conjunction with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

The truth must be ascertained within seven days, and I will recommend you to be fully responsible."

Xia Zhi immediately looked bitter, and he wanted to stalk his neck and ask:

Wei Gong, did I offend you?

Haven't eaten pork or seen a pig run? It's not that I haven't watched court dramas before.

This kind of thing is inseparable from the drama of fratricidal warfare.

100% is a thankless ending, are you trying to harm me?

The other party didn't speak for a long time, and Qin Mu understood that he couldn't be fooled as a child, so he said

"You can check it without worry, it's fine with me"

Xia Zhi wanted to smack him in the face, if he believed this, he would be really stupid, but he couldn't pretend to be dumb all the time.

"Wei Gong, he is too young and inexperienced"

"The instrument of appointment has been issued"

"Wei Gong, his ability to humble himself is limited, once the case is delayed, it will make Wei Gong embarrassed"

"Tell me what you want"

--- what he said was to tell himself that it was impossible to change the matter.

Xia Zhi's eyes rolled, and he spoke after a quick consideration in his heart

"It's true that the lowly job lacks ability and experience, so if you encounter something beyond your ability---"

"Tsing Yi Wei and others are at your disposal, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will also fully cooperate"

"Humble means that you may encounter problems in unknown areas, but humble is shallow after all.

I heard that the deacons of Qiankun Guan are scholars and scholars, and their stomachs are full of things that ordinary people don't know---"

How dare this kid really think? What are you doing as a deacon?

If you can get the deacon of Qiankunguan to cooperate with you honestly, Lao Tzu will give you whatever the hell you want.

I will offer you every day, and I can ask you for a king with a different surname.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and Hua Qianfeng has been there so many times and has not hooked up.

Who can be sure that this kid can't? What if---

Besides, I originally wanted to let him try it in the future, but now it's just ahead of schedule.

"The deacon of Qiankunguan is extraordinary, if you offend him verbally, you don't need others to take action, the official will want you to look good"

This was the first time Xia Zhi had heard Qin Mu call himself his own official, and he knew that the other party was serious.

"Wei Gong rest assured, keep in mind his humble duties, and dare not force it"

"It's in the box, take it yourself, and if you lose your head, you won't be able to save it.

In addition, someone will hand you some files every month, and you are responsible for sending them to Qiankun Temple."

"I understand that I should do my best to handle the case"

"Seven Days, I Want the Truth"

"Yes"

This is a palm-sized jade plaque, and there are two words engraved on it: Qiankun.

That's too casual, isn't it? Aren't you afraid of being faked?

However, it is estimated that I have thought too much, and there must be anti-counterfeiting methods that outsiders do not know about this important thing.

And this thing doesn't feel as simple as it looks,

There is an inexplicable extraordinary feeling in the hand.

Looking for an opportunity to fool the deacon of Qiankun Guan, if you can hug this thigh, you are still afraid of Mao's imperial power struggle.

I wanted to call Huoda and them, but I changed my mind, and it is estimated that they were blocked at the palace gate when they went.

It's better to go and see the magnificent palace of Daejin Kingdom alone.

"The little Zhuo Heng has seen the adult, please follow the little one"

A little chamberlain who was late led Xia Zhi to go to Concubine Xiao's bedroom, but Xia Zhi proposed to take a look at the terrain first.

The little chamberlain hesitated, and began to take Xia Solstice to a cursory browsing, constantly reminding Xia Solstice to pay attention to the rules along the way.

No unauthorised entry into any courtyard;

Do not prying into any hidden thoughts;

Once you encounter the master, you must immediately avoid it, and you must not peep......

The buildings in the palace are indeed magnificent, but the palace maids who are all running cautiously and quickly make people feel nervous and depressed---

The virtual model of the summer solstice was quickly improved, but the interior of many courtyards was still blank because of the distance.

"Lord Xia, hurry up and get out of the way"

The warning of the little chamberlain made Xia Zhi immediately bow his head and retreat, and a call of surprise sounded

"Summer solstice? How did you get into the palace? ”

Looking up slightly, the Seventh Princess was staring at him curiously.

"Wechen has seen Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, and Lord Wei Gong Qin ordered Wechen to investigate the case"

"You --- stay away"

The seventh princess pointed to the little chamberlain and said, and the other party hurriedly confessed

"The princess forgives the slaves and doesn't dare, and the head of Wei strictly orders the slaves to accompany Lord Xia to investigate the case in the palace, but the slaves are never allowed to leave Lord Xia for a moment."

"Bold"

"Your Highness's Wrath"

Xia Zhi hurriedly spoke, and then whispered to the little chamberlain

"Just watch from a distance, and it won't be considered a violation of the order of Manager Wei, so as not to provoke the anger of the Seventh Duke."

"Hmph, dog minion, if you provoke this palace, you will beat him *** board, see if he dares in the future?"

You scold the little chamberlain and a dog slave, why do I feel so awkward?

Grandma's, next time you call me a dog slave, I'll find a chance to clean you up and let you be unobtrusive again.

"Xia Zhi, are you here to investigate the prince's case?"

"Hmm"

"Did you find any clues?"

"Princess, I just met you when I came, and I haven't seen it yet."

"Oh, then if you have a clue, go tell me about it"

What am I telling you to do? You still want to steal my job?

"Well, His Royal Highness is --- in the palace"

"I'm coming to see my mother, I'm afraid my mother will be frightened if something like this happens in the palace."

"Then Your Highness hurry up, Weichen still has to investigate the case!"

"Okay, go to the princess's mansion tomorrow and tell me what you find."

"You may not be able to find anything, so let's go when you find it"

"No--- you have to go tomorrow"

"Okay, okay, go tomorrow"

The seventh princess with a black line continued to follow the little waiter.

It's just a child, curious about everything, and doesn't want to let go---

"Adults stay, you can't go ahead"

"Why?"

"That's the Dao Hall, it's the place where His Majesty cultivates, and it's not allowed to approach without a summons."

"Okay, let's go look elsewhere"

"I've already walked all the places I can go, and there are some places that I can't go."

"Then go to Edri."

"Yes, Lord Xia, please come with me"
