"Knock knock."

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Zhao Fifteen hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, Lin Feng quietly restored the bed, and said, "Who?" ”

I heard Zhao Xieyang's voice ringing outside the door: "Lin Sizheng, the lower official is back, and you have brought all the files you want." ”

Hearing that it was Zhao Xieyang's voice, Lin Feng gave Zhao Fifteen a look, and Zhao Fifteen walked quickly to the door and opened the door.

Crunch –

As the door opened, Zhao Xieyang, who was wiping his sweat and panting, appeared outside the door.

He walked in quickly, walked through the outer room, and came to Lin Feng.

"Lin Sizheng." Zhao Xieyang hurriedly saluted Lin Feng.

Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Xieyang, who was sweating profusely, bowed slightly, and said, "Is it smooth?" ”

Zhao Xieyang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's going well." ”

"Okay?"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "That's not going well?" ”

He looked at Zhao Xieyang and said, "What's the matter?" Someone is embarrassing you? ”

Zhao Xieyang pursed his lips and said, "The lower officials are new to the city, and they may not be too clear about the process of Dali Temple, so maybe they didn't mean to embarrass the lower officials." ”

Lin Feng saw through Zhao Xieyang's thoughts at a glance, he knew that Zhao Xieyang must have been troubled, but Zhao Xieyang didn't want to cause trouble as soon as he arrived at Dali Temple, or he didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he didn't want to say more.

"The person who makes things difficult for him has a low status?"

Lin Feng had a guess in his heart, but his backstage was Xiao Yu of Dali Temple, and on the three-acre land of Dali Temple, Lin Feng was really not afraid of anyone.

Not to mention, he is now competing for the position of Shaoqing, if he can't even protect the henchmen he just brought, how can he let others stand for himself in the future?

"Say."

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang and said, "You just need to tell the official without adding oil and vinegar, whether it is in line with the process, whether it is really difficult for you, the official will judge." ”

When Zhao Xieyang saw Lin Feng say this, he naturally didn't dare to hide it anymore.

He said: "Xiaguan returned to Dali Temple with Lin Sizheng's password, and wanted to transfer Wang Shaoqing's file, but at that time, Gao Shaoqing happened to check the file in the file room, and after hearing Xiaguan's words, he said that Wang Shaoqing's file level is very high, and it can be transferred out without Lin Sizheng's words, if Lin Sizheng really needs the file, then he needs the next official to come back to Lin Sizheng, and let Lin Sizheng go to Xiao Siqing to ask for a warrant, and with Xiao Siqing's warrant, he can be transferred out. ”

"Gao Shaoqing?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, is the other Shaoqing of Dali Temple Gao performing?

There are a total of two Shaoqing in Dali Temple, after Wang Jian's death, Xiao Yu is not in Dali Temple, so the only remaining Shaoqing Gao is indeed the highest person in Dali Temple, he does not let Zhao Xieyang transfer out of the file, Zhao Xieyang really has no choice.

But...... Gao Xianyang should know that Zhao Xieyang is his own person, and he should also know that he has come to investigate Wang Jian's case, why should he embarrass Zhao Xieyang?

Doesn't he want to get the position of Shaoqing? Is he in a different position from Xiao Yu?

Although Lin Feng held an important position in Dali Temple, he had been running around investigating cases, and he had little contact with Gao Cheng, so he didn't have the opportunity to go deep into the factional struggle of the imperial court, so he really didn't know which faction these people belonged to.

Other than that...... Gao Shilian's father is Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, and he is a relative of the emperor, so he is also a relatively special existence in Dali Temple, even if it is Xiao Yu, he has to worry about Gao Shilian's face, and he will not have too high requirements for Gao Shilian, so if Gao Cheng deliberately embarrass himself, it is really difficult to deal with it.

But then again, since Gao Xian was determined to stop Zhao Xieyang, how did Zhao Xieyang get the file?

Could it be that Xiao Yu came back from the East Palace?

Or has something else happened?

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang and motioned for Zhao Xieyang to continue.

Zhao Xieyang continued: "Xiaguan knows how tight the time is for Lin Sizheng to investigate the case, how much time will be delayed this time back and forth, how can he come back and apply to Xiao Siqing, so Xiaguan explained the situation to Gao Shaoqing, saying that His Majesty has agreed that Lin Sizheng is investigating Wang Shaoqing's case, and Lin Sizheng should be qualified to obtain the corresponding file. ”

"But Gao Shaoqing said that he had not received His Majesty's will, and he had not heard of it, so he still did not allow the lower officials to take the file away, and the lower officials had no choice but to go to the temple under Lin Sizheng and wanted them to help him intercede with Gao Shaoqing."

Lin Feng nodded, there was nothing wrong with Zhao Xieyang's approach, but Zhao Xieyang had moved the holy decree out, and Gao Cheng still continued to embarrass him...... It seems that Gao Zheng really doesn't want to solve the case by himself at all.

Does he have other supporters?

"And then?" Lin Feng asked.

Zhao Xieyang said: "Xia Guan found the Si Cheng under Lin Si Zheng and explained the situation to them, but they didn't dare to offend Gao Shaoqing, and they all found reasons to excuse themselves, just when Xia Guan wanted to give up and wanted to come back to Lin Si Zheng to explain the situation, Zhang Sicheng stood up and said that he could help Xia Guan intercede with Gao Shaoqing." ”

"Zhang Sicheng?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Yi? ”

Zhao Xieyang nodded hurriedly: "It's him, Zhang Sicheng said that his father had a good relationship with Gao Shaoqing's father, and Zhang Sicheng and Gao Shaoqing had a good private relationship, he could try to intercede, and when Xia Guan saw that someone was willing to help, he naturally nodded hurriedly." ”

"Then Zhang Sicheng found Gao Shaoqing, and the lower officials didn't know what they said, but when Zhang Sicheng came out, he said that the lower officials could go and get Wang Shaoqing's file."

Listening to Zhao Xieyang's twists and turns, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this position of Shaoqing really revealed the face that was originally hidden under the surface of the warmth.

Now it can be determined that Gao Chengcheng, or his father Gao Shilian, must have other supporters, so they pretended to be confused, deliberately embarrassing themselves and delaying the progress of their own investigation.

Fortunately, there is also a very background Zhang Yi in Dali Temple, Zhang Yi's father is Zhang Liang, one of the meritorious achievements of following Li Shimin, he opened his mouth, and Gao Cheng couldn't help but give this face.

But it is precisely because of this that he indirectly owes Zhang Yi a favor.

Think about it again, Zhang Yi is the place of his own vacancy, into the Dali Temple...... Lin Feng only felt that everything seemed to be providential, if he hadn't become the head of Dali Temple, Zhang Yi would not have become Dali Temple, Zhang Yi would not have become Dali Temple, today's dossier may really not be able to be transferred for a while, at this moment, even Lin Feng has some belief in fate.

He took a deep breath, and couldn't help but feel a little more urgent about the time for investigating the case, his competitors were far from Zhou Helin in front of him, and many other people were also working hard, so he really had to hurry, since the competition for the position of Shaoqing was clear, he couldn't give up the opportunity.

Fortunately...... The investigation of the case has reached an advanced stage, and it is not far from finding out the truth.

Lin Feng let out a long breath, reining his divergent thoughts, and he said, "What about the dossier? ”

Zhao Xieyang said: "It's all outside, Zhang Sicheng personally helped the officials send it over...... And ......"

He looked at Lin Feng, glanced outside, and said in a low voice, "Gao Shaoqing is also here." ”

"What?" Zhao 15 was stunned: "Gao Shaoqing is also here?" What is he here for? It's not enough to embarrass your father-in-law in Dali Temple, so you have to come here to embarrass it? ”

Zhao Xieyang didn't dare to be as bold and outspoken as Zhao Fifteen, he said: "Gao Shaoqing said that these files are very important, and they must not be lost, and he needs to keep an eye on them personally...... Also, he said that he had a bad relationship with Wang Shaoqing, and now that Wang Shaoqing was killed by thieves, he also wanted to investigate for Wang Shaoqing, so he came to ......"

Zhao Xieyang paused for a moment before continuing: "I also want to find out the truth. ”

"Find out the truth? What truth did he find out? I think he's here to steal merit and make trouble! Zhao Fifteen had a temper and directly stated the purpose of high performance.

When Zhao Xieyang heard this, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, he was new to the city, but he didn't dare to say anything.

And Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, and he smiled: "It's interesting, I have a good relationship with Wang Shaoqing, but I didn't say anything about investigating the case for five days, but now that I'm here, he's also here, is this because I remembered that I had a good relationship with Wang Shaoqing?" ”

Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but feel that his scalp was a little numb, listening to Lin Feng's words, he always felt that goosebumps were about to rise, obviously Lin Feng said this with a smile, but how could it make him feel nervous more than Zhao Feng's angry words.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, Gao Shaoqing wants to investigate the case, so we?" ”

Zhao Fifteen was also busy looking at Lin Feng.

I saw Lin Feng smile and said, "What are you afraid of?" Have you forgotten what Zhou County's order did to me before? ”

The two were stunned, and Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but say, "Is Lin Sizheng going to be?" ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Gao Shaoqing likes to do things according to the rules, then we will do things with him well......"

Lin Feng has never been the lord who is obedient, there is no reason for Gao Cheng to embarrass him like that, he has to treat him with a good face, since Gao Cheng has already made it clear that he does not support him, then he naturally has no need to maintain any superficial harmony.

Of course, Lin Feng was not impulsive and went on without thinking about it.

On the one hand, he has Xiao Yu as his backing, and he is not afraid to perform.

On the other hand, he knows very well that if he finally gets the position of Shaoqing, Gao Cheng will not target him because he has a conflict with Gao Cheng today, and if he does not get the position of Shaoqing in the end, Gao Cheng will not treat him well because of his concession today, officialdom is the most realistic place, and the grade determines everything.

Therefore, whether he swallowed his anger today or took a breath of evil anger in his heart, the result was the same, so why did he take a step back and let himself get angrier and angrier the more he thought about it?

"Let's go."

Lin Feng took one last look at the direction of the bed, and then turned around and walked out directly: "Go and meet Gao Shaoqing, a good colleague of this official, and see how he wants to investigate the case." ”

When a few people came to the front yard, they saw that Zhou Helin had already arrived first, and Zhou Helin was saluting Gao at this time.

And Gao Cheng was dressed in an official robe, sitting on a stool drinking tea, his expression was calm, his chin was slightly raised, and he looked at Zhou Helin with a somewhat contemptuous expression.

Lin Feng took this scene into his eyes, and his heart suddenly became clear, it seems that the person who supports him is not Zhou Helin, even so, he and Zhou Helin are partners on the same front at this moment.

Things in this world are so interesting, one second they were blushing and their necks were thick, and the next second they were going to fight together.

Lin Feng quickened his pace, and quickly came to Gao Cheng to bow his hand clearly, not giving Gao Cheng a chance to find fault, and said, "I've seen Gao Shaoqing." ”

Gao Cheng listened to Lin Feng's words, shook the teacup gently, and said lightly: "Lin Sizheng is now a big celebrity, not only His Majesty praises you, but the people also call you a detective, this official does not dare to accept your big gift, in case someone says that this official is not worthy of the worship of Detective Lin Feng, wouldn't this official be very embarrassed?" ”

What he said was quite yin and yang, and Zhou Helin couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng secretly.

Lin Feng's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard Gao Cheng's sarcasm, and said calmly: "To be able to get His Majesty's approval, Xia Guan is flattered, so in order to repay the Holy Grace, the moment he received His Majesty's holy decree, Xia Guan swore that he would do his best to find out the truth about Wang Shaoqing's killing, so that he could live up to his holy grace." ”

"Huh?"

Gao Zhen frowned, is this what I want to express? Do you only listen to half of what you say? You don't talk about your sarcasm later, do you?

Gao Cheng slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, and the force was so heavy that the table jumped and frightened the surrounding officials and shrunk their necks.

He looked at Lin Feng coldly and said, "It's rare that you can have such an idea, so our famous detective Lin Sizheng in Dali Temple, I don't know how you checked for so long?" Since you know that Your Majesty has high hopes for you, you should be very rewarding, right? ”

Lin Feng smiled and said: "When Gao Shaoqing said that he investigated for a long time, did he mean that the lower officials came here to investigate for an hour?" ”

The corner of Gao Cheng's eyes twitched: "......"

"If Gao Shaoqing is really referring to this hour, then Gao Shaoqing can ask Zhou County Order, Zhou County Order has been checked for five days, how much has been harvested, and how much should be harvested after an hour of investigation." Lin Feng continued to smile.

Zhou Helin, who was originally eating melons on the side, was suddenly named: "......"

There's something wrong with you, right? You two are going toe-to-toe, what are you doing with me...... Zhou Helin glared at Lin Feng, but he also knew that now the two were on the same front, so he could only cough and say, "Gao Shaoqing doesn't know, the real murderer in this case is very cunning, and the case is very complicated, so it really can't be solved in a short time." ”

"Excuses!"

Gao Cheng was waiting for this sentence, he slapped the table, and said sharply: "My Dali Temple Shaoqing died unexpectedly, do you know what kind of turmoil this has caused?" Do you know what the people say about us? It's been five days, and you can't even understand Shaoqing's murder, how to make the people believe in your ability, how to make the people believe that you can avenge them? ”

"Why did Your Majesty let you investigate the case? I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible, but what is the result? But you use the real murder and cunning, and the case is complicated! Are you worthy of Your Majesty's trust? ”

As soon as the big hat was buttoned, Zhou Helin was directly stunned.

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't know what else he could do, but he was a good hand at buttoning his hat.

Seeing that Zhou Helin was scolded, Gao Cheng directly struck while the iron was hot, revealed his purpose, and said: "Look at you like this, how can this official rest assured that the case will be handed over to you for investigation?" ”

"Therefore, in order to solve the case as soon as possible and find out the real murderer of Wang Shaoqing as soon as possible, the official had to go out in person, now you immediately inform the official of the clues you investigated, and then you go to rest, and the real murderer will find out."

"What!?"

Hearing Gao Cheng's words, Zhou Helin's face changed suddenly.

After checking for five days, he lost such a big face once, and now he has a harvest, but as a result, Gao Zheng directly wants to take away all the results, and he has to drive himself out of the investigation team, how can he accept it.

He said: "Gao Shaoqing, the lower officials have been investigating for five days......

"You're embarrassed to say five days!"

Gao Cheng slapped the table again, and said coldly: "You have wasted five days, but you haven't even found the shadow of the real murderer, if it weren't for Your Majesty's tolerance, do you think you would still be able to quibble with this official here?" ”

"It's settled!" Gao Cheng didn't give Zhou Helin a chance to refute at all, and said directly: "Next, you hurry up and inform this official of what you have found, don't delay this official's investigation of the case, otherwise the investigation time will be delayed, which of you can afford it?" ”

Zhou Helin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was scolded by Gao Cheng like this, and he didn't know how to say it.

I couldn't help but hesitate for a while.

When Lin Feng saw this scene, he shook his head in disappointment, when he faced himself just now, he was asking His Majesty again, and he was secretly sarcastic, how could he be dumb when he reached a higher level of high performance?

He looked at Gao Cheng, who was sitting firmly on the stool, looking down on himself and Zhou Helin, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Xia Guan can understand Gao Shaoqing's heart to investigate the case, after all, Xia Guan is also anxious in his heart, thinking about finding out the real murderer earlier, so Xia Guan is willing to cooperate with Gao Shaoqing." ”

"Oh?" Gao Cheng listened to Lin Feng's words, his face flashed with a hint of surprise, he didn't expect Lin Feng to be so knowledgeable, but soon, the surprise turned into more contempt, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "The person who knows the times is Junjie, this official knows that Lin Sizheng is smart and knows how to choose, then Lin Sizheng will quickly tell the clues you found." ”

Zhou Helin's brows couldn't help frowning, when Lin Feng faced him just now, he pressed himself and had no power to fight back, why did he directly coax him now?

He was puzzled, when he saw Lin Feng smiling and said: "Yes, Xia Guan said that Gao Shaoqing will quickly bring His Majesty's holy decree, and when Xia Guan sees the holy decree, he will definitely not hide anything, and immediately tell Gao Shaoqing everything he has found." ”

"What decree?" Gao Cheng frowned.

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and he said, "Gao Shaoqing won't have no holy decree, right?" ”

Without waiting for Gao to speak, Lin Feng continued: "This case is very special, because it was an important minister of the imperial court who was killed, so His Majesty specially ordered that irrelevant people should not be involved. ”

Saying that, Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and said, "Zhou County Order, isn't it?" ”

Zhou Helin was quick-witted, and he understood what Lin Feng meant in an instant, he nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right!" The facts of this case are very complicated, and the identity of the real murderer has not yet been determined, so no unrelated person can participate in this case until the truth is ascertained! Unless there is His Majesty's will like Lin Sizheng! ”

"So Gao Shaoqing ......"

Zhou Helin looked at Gao Cheng, with a touch of happiness in his tone, and said, "You really don't have a holy decree, right?" If there is no holy decree, let alone investigate the case, you can't even enter the palace...... In case we find any clues that have been destroyed when we are investigating the case, and there is only Gao Shaoqing and you as an outsider at the scene, I am afraid that Gao Shaoqing will not be able to explain it at that time. ”

"How can Zhou County Order say that!" Lin Feng hurriedly said: "Gao Shaoqing is also kind when he comes here, although Gao Shaoqing has not obtained the holy decree, but Gao Shaoqing hopes to solve the case!" I think it's completely okay to stay here to urge Gao Shaoqing here! ”

Zhou Helin nodded hurriedly: "Yes, what Lin Sizheng said is right, it was I who said something unpleasant, Gao Shaoqing can stay here and urge us to investigate the case, as long as Gao Shaoqing doesn't go back and forth, I will never doubt Gao Shaoqing." ”

Lin Feng and Zhou Helin had a white face and a red face, and they cooperated very tacitly, and after a few words, they basically blocked everything Gao Cheng wanted to say.

made Gao Cheng's face suddenly blue and white, very ugly.

He thought that with his power, Lin Feng and Zhou Helin, who could be suppressed, did not dare to resist, but who knew that Lin Feng and Zhou Helin actually moved His Majesty out, and they also sang and harmonized, blocking all his roads, so that he couldn't find an excuse if he wanted to.

Even if he wants to get angry now, he can't find a reason.

Seeing that Gao Cheng's face was flushed, Lin Feng and Zhou Helin secretly glanced at each other, and immediately nodded.

This kind of excuse, they were too familiar with each other when they were-for-tat just now, so that they didn't need to practice to tacitly release their big moves.

"Everyone is trying to find out the truth earlier, why make such a fuss."

At this time, a hearty laugh sounded, and I saw a young man in his twenties admiring Junxiu walked out, he arched his hand to Lin Feng and said: "Lin Sizheng, Gao Shaoqing is also too anxious, so he will urge you, in fact, on the way here, Gao Shaoqing has been praising Lin Sizheng, he said that Lin Sizheng is judging the case like a god, no case is solved, there is Lin Sizheng shooting, this case must be caught, but Gao Shaoqing's face is cold and hot, and the knife mouth is tofu heart, which is not so appropriate, and I hope Lin Sizheng will forgive me." ”

Lin Feng looked at Zhang Yi, who came out to be a peacemaker, and said in his heart, "What you say is more than God promulgating the handsome ranking, I can only rank second", but after all, Zhang Yi helped Zhao Xieyang relieve the siege in Dali Temple before, so this favor has to be repaid.

He said with a smile: "I see, Gao Shaoqing originally believed that we could find out the truth, so why didn't Gao Shaoqing say it directly?" Gao Shaoqing's knife mouth really almost misunderstood us. ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Gao Shaoqing is such a character, he actually has no malicious intentions, so Gao Shaoqing is also to find out the real murderer earlier, so it is better to let Gao Shaoqing also participate in the investigation, and everyone will find out the real murderer together......"

"No way!"

Without waiting for Zhang Yi to finish speaking, Zhou Helin said directly: "Your Majesty has a will, and no one else can participate in the investigation, this is a holy decree...... The official does not dare to be disobedient. ”

Lin Feng owes Zhang Yi favors, but Zhou Helin does not owe.

He had already seen that Gao Cheng was here to steal credit, how could he allow his achievements to be snatched away by others?

Lin Feng's words relied on his ability to investigate the case, even if he lost, he would be convinced, but he was unwilling to perform this obvious fruit picking.

And he has Fang Xuanling as his backing, and he is not afraid of offending Gao Zheng at all.

Gao Cheng glared at Zhou Helin fiercely, his eyes like knives.

Lin Feng gave Zhou Helin a thumbs up in his heart, and looked embarrassed: "Zhang Sicheng, you also saw it, it's not that the official is unwilling, but the holy order cannot be violated." ”

What holy order cannot be violated, whether it has nothing to do with people, etc., is not a matter of Lin Feng and Zhou Helin's words, but they are unwilling to let go, and there is no way to perform it.

Zhang Yi shrugged his shoulders helplessly to Gao Cheng, and then said to Lin Feng with a smile: "Xia Guan understands, since it is a holy order, I believe Gao Shaoqing can also understand, Lin Sizheng does not need to have psychological pressure." ”

No wonder Zhang Yi can persuade Gao to perform in Dali Temple, he is really good at being a man and talking...... Lin Feng nodded, he bowed his hand to Gao Xian and said: "Then Gao Shaoqing, time is pressing, we will continue to investigate the case, if Gao Shaoqing cares about the case, you can supervise here, we promise not to drive Gao Shaoqing away." ”

Zhou Helin also smiled and said: "The lower officials also hope that Gao Shaoqing can supervise it, so that Gao Shaoqing can watch us solve the case with his own eyes." ”

After saying that, they didn't look at Gao Cheng's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and turned around and left together.

While walking, Zhou Helin said in a low voice: "Happy! Lin Sizheng, it's a shame that you weren't shocked by him just now, otherwise I would really have to bow my head, and once we bow our heads and give a stubble, we really can't stop him. ”

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm also protecting my own interests." ”

"But ......" he looked at Zhou Helin and said, "Do you know who Gao Shaoqing is for?" ”

"Huh! Who else could it be? ”

Zhou Helin sneered: "Except for his relatives, Sun Ping'an, the magistrate of Wannian County, who else is worthy of his shameless direct shot?" ”

The eldest grandson is safe...... Lin Feng nodded suddenly.

Also, the grade of Sun Ping'an, the magistrate of Wannian County, is also a fifth grade, and his background is stronger than Zhou Helin, and he and Changsun Ping'an have investigated the disappearance of Zhao Fifteen together, and his ability is not bad, and he is indeed the most favorable contender for the position of Shaoqing.

He exhaled softly, all the competitors were working hard overt or secretly, and he had to work harder.

Fortunately, he has found the clues of the real murderer, and the next clue is the accomplice.

And the accomplices...... No surprises......

Lin Feng looked at the pile of dossiers that Zhao Xieyang had taken: "They will tell me the result......
