The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little depressing for a while.

Everyone's face has some subtle expression.

And the most worried are the two eunuchs with the highest status in the East Factory, Du Lun and Li Deye.

Wen Chen smiled, picked up the wine glass to himself, and took a sip.

"Don't worry too much, my lords, things are far from being out of control."

Li Deye had a gloomy face, "Your Majesty is going to take me and others under the knife, isn't this in a hurry?!" ”

Du Lun glanced at him and said softly, "Reckless, who is the murderer, Gonggong Wei has the final say, you have a fart in a hurry!" ”

The corners of Wen Chen's mouth rose, and he finally got to the point.

He played with the token in his hand, looked at the four of them and said, "Now you adults know which one the little one sang just now, right?" ”

Seek wealth!

Seek the momentum!

Do things for Your Majesty!

The four exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

Wen Chen was able to tell them such a secret, which could already be regarded as accepting the petition, if they still insisted on the temptation according to the original plan, it would indeed be too insincere!

Du Lun got up slowly and whispered slowly, "Grandpa Wen, let's eat first." ”

Wen Chen's eyelids jumped, didn't I express it clearly enough?

No, with Durham's city, it should follow my words, or how can Lao Tzu ask for money?

But the next moment, the lid on the dinner plate in front of Wen Chen was lifted, and a jewel came to his face!

"Lord Wen, this dish is called Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, and it is one of the signboards of Qingfeng Building!"

I saw that in the ruler-long dinner plate, there were golden branches with the thickness of an adult's finger, full of jade gems, and the workmanship was exquisite and meticulous.

Wen Chen was not a person who had never seen the world, but such a large piece of gold and priceless jewelry in front of his eyes still made him swallow his saliva.

If this is put before the crossing, it is designated as a national treasure-level cultural relic!

"Do you still like Grandpa Wen?" Duren asked with a smile.

Wen Chen calmed down slightly, took a deep breath, and said flatly, "Master Du, it's just that this dish is not enough for the officials to eat!" ”

Du Lun chuckled, "Well, this official still thinks that this dish is not to the appetite of Father-in-law Wen!" ”

"Master Peng, let's cook!"

Peng Tianrui hurriedly agreed, and got up to remove the lids on the remaining plates.

"Wait!" Wen Chen raised his hand and motioned for Peng Tianrui to sit down.

Don't look at the four of them meaningfully, "There is not much surplus food at home, if you want to eat, you can eat outside dishes, what do you adults think?" ”

The eyes of the four of them suddenly lit up, and they instantly understood what he meant, and they all agreed, "Gong Wen's words are reasonable, and the people at home are used to eating, and they have to change their tastes for a long time!" ”

"Father-in-law Wen, have you figured out what to do about this?" Durham leaned closer.

Wen Chen bowed slightly, "Your Majesty wants the result, and we pay attention to the process!" ”

"But if you want to earn outsiders' money, you have to keep a few of our brothers first!" Li Deye frowned.

"What are you afraid of, Grandpa Wen is our own person, will he harm us?!" Durham scoffed.

These two people will quarrel at every opportunity, and they are really natural enemies.

"Huh? You can't say that! Wen Chenzheng shook his wine glass in the surprised eyes of the others, and said slowly, "Duke Wei's corpse was developed in the Yongding River in the inner city, and it stands to reason that the residents in the entire inner city have the possibility of killing Duke Wei, and you, as the people around Duke Wei, are naturally more suspicious!" ”

"If it's just ordinary, the lower officials can clear up your doubts with a little means. But this time, His Majesty personally supervised the accident of Duke Wei, and the target was just aimed at your lords, even if it was a lower official, it would be difficult to fool the past! ”

"Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Duren asked hurriedly.

"Unless the four adults can come up with evidence that they didn't kill Wei Gong!" Wen Chen let out a "pop" and put the wine glass heavily on the table.

"Peng Qianhu, you are good at finding evidence, I will leave this matter to you!" Li Deye commanded with a stiff face,

Peng Tianrui smiled embarrassedly, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you are looking for evidence of guilt, the lower officials are still relatively good, but if you don't kill it, you don't kill it, how can this be proved?" ”

Wen Chen sneered in his heart, it seems that this Peng Tianrui is also a straw bag, but he just happened to hug his good thighs before he sat in today's position.

"Father-in-law Wen, since you can make a request, there must be a solution, don't sell it!" Durham is the most clever of all the people here.

The other three immediately looked eagerly at Wen Chen.

"Actually, it's not difficult, but I don't know if you adults believe it!"

"What do you mean?" Durham looked puzzled.

"If you want to prove that a person killed Wei Gong, you need nothing more than two aspects of evidence, including sufficient time to commit the crime and a reasonable motive for committing the crime!"

"It stands to reason that you only need to prove that one of the two has nothing to do with you to get away with it, but the evidence that can prove that you have no time to commit the crime now is only the information transmitted back by the daily attack incident of the Dongchang Commandery, and Your Majesty will not believe this."

"What about the motive for the crime? We are loyal to Duke Wei, how can we murder Duke Wei! Qianhu Peng Tianrui explained anxiously.

"Master Peng, don't be impatient", Wen Chen waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "Your Majesty really values the most thing now is the motive, and this is also the handle that is most likely to drag you into the water!" ”

"But the good news is that the authority to summarize and sort out the news is still on the lower officials, you must at least convince the lower officials that you have no motive to kill Duke Wei, and when the time comes, the lower officials will be able to convince Your Majesty!"

"This official comes first!" Ke Donglai, who was sitting on the side and listening carefully, suddenly stood up.

"This official entered the palace at the age of fourteen, thanks to the trust of Duke Wei......"

"Stop, stop!" Wen Chen waved his hand impatiently, "Master Ke, there is no basis for what you say, what the lower officials want is solid evidence!" ”

"Empirical? What empirical evidence? ”

"Some things that can prove that the relationship between Master Ke and Wei Gong is very good!" Wen Chen said in a deep voice.

"Xia Guan knows that this is very difficult for your lords, after all, these objects may involve some relatively secret private information, and it is very risky to hand them over rashly, but only by doing this, Xia Guan can find a way to help your lords!"

The four of them were silent for a moment, and their expressions were dull.

After a while, Du Lun suddenly spoke, "Gonggong Wen, what you have been saying is to clear the suspicion for us, but if Gong Wei is really one of the four of us, how should you deal with it?" ”

Roar! I don't believe in my own abilities!

Wen Chen smiled slightly, snapped, and threw the waist card to the center of the round table, "Here in Xiaguan, there is no if, if Xiaguan wants to wash his white, it is absolutely impossible for something to happen!" ”

"If you are still not at ease, the lower officials can give you a few days, but the lower officials' pockets can't wait, early tomorrow morning, starting from the sixth department, all the big and small officials will be secretly escorted to Dongchang for questioning!"

He knew that this kind of thing couldn't be pushed too quickly, and someone had to give them a trip first, so that these old things could rest assured.
