As Ma Yuan stopped quibbling, the murder of Shaoqing Wang Jian of Dali Temple finally revealed the truth.

However, there is still a long way to go before the case is completely closed.

Catching Ma Yuan is only the first step, and then it needs to be further tried and tried by Dali Temple in the public court, and then submitted to Li Shimin, the person who issued the task, for review, before Ma Yuan can be finally convicted, and at that time, Wang Jian's murder case can be truly over.

But with the many pieces of evidence that Lin Feng found, it was impossible for there to be any more twists and turns in the middle, so the result of Ma Yuan's life for Wang Jian was only a matter of time.

In this way, the dark clouds hanging over the palace finally dispersed.

Two quarters of an hour later.

The people who came to the palace to investigate the case left one after another.

Fang Zhizhi nodded again.

In many cases in Chang'an and the palace, Jin Wuwei was able to directly participate.

Lin Feng returned the salute with a smile: "Zhou County Order has official business to be busy, I will not delay the time of Zhou County Order, and when I am free in the future, I will personally feast Zhou County Order, and Zhou County Order must not refuse." ”

The two sat on both sides of the table, and there was a chessboard on the table, on which the black and white blacks were crisscrossed, and the sunspots held by Fang Xuanling had begun to gain the upper hand.

Zhou Helin can not tell himself, even if he tells himself, he doesn't have to be so detailed, so this is obviously Zhou Helin's deliberate show of favor to himself, Lin Feng is in the initial stage of power, so he naturally wants to accept Zhou Helin's kindness.

Fang Xuanling said calmly: "What can be seen at a glance is not despicable, besides, this is Changsun Ping'an's own connections and background, that is his advantage, what is wrong with him using his advantage to deal with other competitors?" ”

"Despicable means?"

The eldest grandson is safe...... Eldest Sun Wuji's relative, Gao Cheng was for the safety of the eldest grandson before, he does have a deep background and is a strong competitor.

In that way, there was a kind of haste to escape.

Lin Feng smiled: "Okay, if I have time, I will definitely take a break." ”

"It's good that you're good enough to do everything intuitively, not brainily."

"My father has told you many times that you can't judge anything by your intuition! Everything in this world, its causes, development and final results are traceable, and as a smart person, what you have to do is to collect all the information you can gather, and then make the most rational judgment based on this information, so that you can make fewer mistakes or even no mistakes. ”

Fang Yizhi's expression couldn't help but hesitate, he didn't know anything about Gao Cheng at all, as a pure scholar, he couldn't help but say: "Gao Cheng is really hateful, the eldest grandson Ping'an can't compare to Lin Sizheng with his strength, so he uses this kind of despicable means!" ”

"Just like this case investigation dispute, my father thinks that your senior brother will investigate the case first."

He knew that it was because he had experienced so many things in the past few months, not having a day to spare, not having a moment of pause in his brain, making him feel as tired as if he had been decades.

He nodded hurriedly: "Xia Guan understands." ”

"And in this sequence, there were only me, Changsun Ping'an, and Hou Liang before, but now I haven't solved Wang Shaoqing's case, and I have no chance to compete with them, so ......"

He couldn't help but say, "Zide, don't you have any plans that I don't know about?" ”

If it is really as Lin Feng analyzed, wouldn't it be said that the East Palace case is more complicated than the crown prince dispute that he expected? More dangerous?

But as Lin Feng said, with these speculations, it is even more impossible to turn a blind eye.

Sun Fujia nodded: "Then I won't delay your time...... But Zide, the case is important, and the body is also important, you bumped all the way, returned from the dust, and then came to investigate the case non-stop, if this continues, your body will definitely be unbearable, so when it is time to rest, you must rest, don't Shaoqing's result has not yet appeared, your body can't bear it first. ”

Obviously, these things were just a few months ago, and in the decades-long journey of his life, a few months are nothing at all, but he inexplicably has a sense of vicissitudes, as if decades have passed.

Fang Xuanling smiled, he took out a sunspot from the chess box, gently rubbed the smooth and round chess piece with his fingertips, and said, "Do you think Lin Feng can solve the case before your senior brother?" ”

Lin Feng looked at Gao Cheng without any smile on his face with a smile, and arched his hand: "Gao Shaoqing, the lower officials didn't embarrass Dali Temple, right?" ”

"With no background, no ability, no merit, just relying on an official position, there is no chance to compete for it at all, and among these people who can compete, there are also three, six, nine and so on."

What Zhang Yi wanted was Lin Feng's words, after all, this sentence directly proved that Lin Feng was willing to accept his approach.

Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he heard the abnormality in Lin Feng's words.

Zhou Helin laughed and said, "It must be certain, then I will wait for Lin Sizheng's invitation." ”

"Then why do you still think that Lin Feng will solve the case first?"

He smiled: "It seems that I am free, and I have to go to the Punishment Department." ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at Fang Zhizhi, who frowned slightly, and said slowly: "For my father to get the news, the young secretary of Dali Temple, Gao Cheng, also went to the palace. ”

Lin Feng listened to Sun Fujia's words and couldn't help but recall a sentence...... Outsiders will only care about the achievements you have won, and only real relatives will care about your hard work and sweat under this brilliance.

"So, give up your intuition, if Lin Feng's failure this time can make you grow, it will not be in vain this failure."

Sun Fujia saw that Lin Feng understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything more, he turned his head and glanced at Ma Yuan and Gao Shun who were arrested, and said, "What are you going to do next?" Take them back to Dali Temple for interrogation? Or do what? ”

"First of all, your senior brother has a lot of experience in investigating cases, he may not be as talented as Lin Feng, but his experience is enough to make up for the gap in many talents! Secondly, your senior brother investigated five days in advance, and five days was enough for him to obtain information far beyond Lin Feng, and this information that Lin Feng wanted to obtain was not enough for two hours at all, that is to say, Lin Feng was already a lot slower at the start, and this kind of gap in the start may not be able to catch up with Lin Feng in the end. ”

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Although there is Gong Xiao to protect you, but because you are not in Chang'an, and you are ...... There were rumors about you before, which made some officials not optimistic about you, so although you had a chance to compete, you were actually ranked last. ”

Smack!

Gao Cheng looked at Lin Feng's smile, only felt that this smile was so dazzling, as if he was ridiculing himself, recalling that he came strongly, thinking that he would easily use his power to grab credit, so that Lin Feng would completely lose his pride and ambition to compete for Shaoqing's qualifications, and then look at Lin Feng's easy decision to solve the case, completely holding the credit in the palm of his hand, and he didn't even find a single trouble from beginning to end, he only felt that his depressed heart and liver were hurting.

Fang Yi shook his head and said calmly: "I have never doubted the ability of my senior brother, my senior brother has solved many big cases, and he has the ability to solve this case." ”

"Oh?"

At the entrance of the palace.

Fang Xuanling asked, "Why?" You must know that your senior brother started the investigation five days ahead of Lin Feng! You also have to know that in order to win a chance for your senior brother, your father cut off the opportunity for everyone to get involved, even if it was Xiao Siqing, he didn't know anything about the case, so even if Lin Feng wanted to investigate, he would do so without any clue, even so, do you think Lin Feng can solve the case before your senior brother? ”

"It's really in response to the old saying, officialdom is a place to fight for background...... That is, I have a special experience, otherwise I really have no chance to compete with them at all. ”

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Zhou County Order, I just returned to Chang'an today, and I don't know much about the current situation...... I don't know if Zhou County Decree can give me a lesson, what are our opponents? ”

Fang Xuanling raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes to look at his eldest son, who he valued the most, and said, "So, are you worried about your friend Lin Feng, or are you worried about your senior brother?" ”

Thinking that he, as the son of Gao Shilian and a real relative of the emperor, how could he ever be so depressed?

Fang Yi listened to his father's earnest teachings, pursed his lips tightly, his brows furrowed, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Brush it up.

In addition, Hou Liang is the son of the dignified military department Shangshu, and his background is not weak, so he is naturally a strong contender.

He smiled and bowed his head: "I'll go, I have to visit Duke Wei too." ”

But now...... He had already determined that he had no chance, and Lin Feng was the one with the most opportunity in his opinion, so in order to ease the relationship with Lin Feng and have a good relationship with the future Shaoqing in advance, Zhou Helin said: "Those who can compete for the position of Shaoqing are either the fifth rank or the lowest fourth grade, and although there are many such officials in the imperial court, there are no hands for those who really have the opportunity to compete for the position of Shaoqing." ”

Fang Yi raised his head sharply and looked directly at his wise father.

He bowed his hand to Lin Feng and said: "Now that the case is over, it is time for this official to return to the Yamen, I haven't returned to the Yamen for five days, and I can't say how many things I have accumulated to deal with, so this official will not accompany Lin Sizheng." ”

"Hahaha, that's what you're talking about."

He nodded: "I understand...... Before Xiao Gong comes back, if there is still time, I will rest. ”

After speaking, he didn't even wait for Lin Feng to respond, he turned around and left.

"What for?"

Sun Fujia listened to Lin Feng's words, his pupils couldn't help beating violently, he didn't expect the Donggong case to be so complicated, and it was even related to the killing of Wang Jian this time.

After Lin Feng identified his competitor, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he looked at Zhou Helin and thanked: "Thank you Zhou County Commander for informing me." ”

Lin Feng smiled: "After all, if you don't go crazy, you'll really be old." ”

Fang Xuanling said lightly: "Think about his identity, think about the time he went to the palace, based on all this information, you can't deduce his purpose?" ”

Lin Feng looked left and right, and seeing that no one nearby could hear his words, he took a deep breath and said, "Sun Langzhong, there is something I want to tell you......

"But with a gesture, I just hope to give Lin Sizheng some help." Zhou Helin saw that Lin Feng understood his overture, so he didn't delay any longer.

Then he found that his father, who had always been calm and indifferent, seemed to freeze at this moment.

Listening to Sun Fujia's words, Lin Feng couldn't help but recall that a few months ago, Dai Xuan sent him an invitation.

Inside the study.

Saying that, Sun Fujia couldn't help laughing and said: "Zide, don't you know how much Dai Shangshu regretted when I told me about your exquisite plans, he patted his thigh, and said angrily that he should have snatched you from Dali Temple to the Criminal Department by force at that time, and now your ability can't be hidden at all, he said that even if he tried hard, Xiao Siqing would not let him go." ”

Lin Feng understood that Sun Fujia had uncharacteristically objected to his decision, and he was completely concerned about his own safety, Sun Fujia had been an official for decades, and he had experienced the changes in Xuanwumen, so he knew too well how dangerous things involved in the dispute between the crown prince were.

Between confidants, there is no need for superfluous words.

Zhang Yi glanced at Gao Cheng, who was fleeing quickly, and quickly arched his hand to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, congratulations on successfully solving the case, the next Shaoqing position is definitely you...... Xiaguan and Gao Shaoqing came together, and it was not good for Gao Shaoqing to leave alone, so Xiaguan also retired first, and then Xiaguan personally set up a banquet in the future to celebrate Lin Sizheng. ”

"Therefore, he is already lagging behind your senior brother in the investigation of the case, and now he has a high performance obstruction, use your rational brain to think about it, he and your senior brother, who can solve the case first."

And Hou Liang ...... The son of Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, the official position is the Jin Wuwei Lang general of the five products, Jin Wuwei is in charge of the law of day and night patrol in the palace and the capital, and it is not against the law to enforce the law, that is to say, Jin Wuwei is a member of the public security system.

Seeing Lin Feng talking about business, Sun Fujia nodded: "After the report, Dai Shangshu was very shocked by your performance, he specially asked me to tell you, so that you have time to go to the Criminal Department to find him, he wants to know more details." ”

Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly narrowed: "Why?" Do you suspect that your senior brother is not capable enough? ”

Sun Fujia sighed: "I really didn't expect that I would be so old and crazy that I would go crazy." ”

Knock knock!

And at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the closed study.

Zhou Helin took a deep breath and said, "Lin Sizheng is your real opponent, only the eldest grandson Ping'an and Hou Liang are left. ”

The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

He looked at the chess game and said slowly: "You are not attentive, you just fell behind in the middle game, what is it that is holding you back?" ”

Sun Fujia, who had been standing quietly on the side, saw this scene, and then slowly spoke up: "Zhou County's order is still open-minded. ”

Fang Yizhi's face changed, and he couldn't help but say, "He wants to help the eldest grandson Ping'an?" He wants to hinder Lin Si Zheng and Senior Brother? ”

After speaking, he saw that Gao Cheng was about to run away, so he didn't delay any longer, and quickly turned around and chased after him.

After speaking, he took a deep breath and said to Lin Feng seriously: "Lin Sizheng, if among these people, who I lose to the most uncomplaining, it is only you, so you must succeed!" ”

Fang Yi nodded straightly.

Then, Lin Feng informed Sun Fujia of his speculation that he hadn't even told Xiao Yu.

"The child doesn't have any special reason, he just thinks that Lin Si is a person full of miracles, and anything judged by common sense cannot be put on him."

Sun Fujia smiled heartily, he raised his head and looked at the blue sky, and said: "Okay, the hour is not early, I won't delay your time, after you interrogate Ma Yuan, they will rest as soon as possible, since Xiao Siqing went to His Majesty for the affairs of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I estimate that I will not come back for a while, after all, this matter is very important, he and His Majesty should not come back before they think of the most suitable solution, you can still have some time to rest." ”

"So ......"

He rarely expressed his opinion on Lin Feng's decision, but this time, Sun Fujia said directly: "I don't recommend that you get involved in the prince's coma case!" ”

"In the years when my father followed His Majesty to fight in the south and the north, I relied on rational analysis, and if I made decisions based on intuition, I can't tell how many times my father would have died."

Fang Xuanling listened to Fang Yizhi's answer, his face became a little serious, and said, "Do you know that my father is very dissatisfied with your answer?" ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly: "Thank you Zhang Sicheng for the matter of the file, if Zhang Sicheng has anything to do in the future, you can come directly to this official." ”

The atmosphere in the study seemed to freeze in an instant.

But he couldn't attack yet, after all, what he said at the time was to investigate the case, for the reputation of Dali Temple, and now Lin Feng has successfully solved the case and successfully preserved the prestige of Dali Temple, as a young secretary of Dali Temple, let alone angry, he can't even frown, he can only barely smile with blood dripping in his heart and say: "You have done a good job, this official will help you ask Xiao Siqing for credit in the future, this official still has official business, so he will take the first step." ”

After Sun Fujia heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he couldn't help but say: "Zide, this is a trip to troubled water, are you sure you want to go?" In fact, your current credit is almost the same, you have rescued so many people in Cizhou, you have solved so many thieves of the Sixiang Organization in Linshui County, and after you returned, you have brought a roster of so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and now you have solved Wang Shaoqing's case...... You've accumulated enough credit to outperform others, and you don't need to take any risks. ”

"As the previous Rinji is ......"

Sun Fujia glanced at Lin Feng, nodded and said, "Let's go, at this time, you need support the most." ”

"Therefore, Lin Feng's enemies are not only your senior brother, but also his Dali Temple officials."

Lin Feng smiled, noncommittal.

Sun Fujia returned directly to the mansion to rest and recharge for the next East Palace case, while Lin Feng returned to Dali Temple with Ma Yuan and Gao Shun, ready to try to pry Ma Yuan's mouth open and have a deeper understanding of the forces behind Ma Yuan...... And just when the two of them were preparing for the next thing, Lin Feng cracked the news of Wang Jian's murder, and it was like a storm, quickly sweeping the entire Chang'an.

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "I still have some things to ask about Ma Yuan, and I also promised Gao Shun to investigate his uncle's case again, so I really have to talk to them again." ”

"High fulfillment? What is he going to do? "Fang Zhizhi didn't know this information at all.

"The matter of the crown prince in a coma is completely different from the case of the envoy of the East Palace that you investigated before, this involves the dispute between the crown prince, it must be very complicated, once you are not careful, you may be crushed!"

"Finally, tell you one more thing you don't know......"

After saying that, Zhou Helin no longer hesitated, turned around directly, and strode away with the officials.

He turned to look at Sun Fujia and said, "Sun Langzhong has finished reporting to Dai Shangshu?" ”

“…… Therefore, the Donggong case is probably not an isolated case, it is likely to involve the last Donggong case and this time Wang Shaoqing's murder case, and you also heard Ma Yuan's words just now, I have already entered the chess game of the person behind the scenes, if I can't find out this person behind the scenes, even if I don't participate in the Donggong case, I can't talk about any security. ”

"Only by participating in the Donggong case, finding out the secrets behind everything, and really finding out who is behind the scenes, can I be truly safe...... Not to mention, the Four Elephants Organization is about to act, and the Jinchai family and the merchant forces of the Western Regions are also ready to move, what if the East Palace case is related to these forces? What if they are the ones behind the East Palace case? What if the Donggong case is the last fuse of the Chang'an Rebellion? None of these reasons allow me to turn a blind eye to the Donggong case. ”

Suddenly, the round and smooth chess piece in Fang Xuanling's hand suddenly fell from his hand and fell on the chessboard, directly messing up the originally orderly chess game.

As soon as he spoke, he looked at Fang Zhizhi and said, "Your senior brother has my help, but Xiao Yu, who may have supported Lin Feng, went to the East Palace and never came out, he didn't know that his subordinate Shaoqing was going to obstruct the person he chose, how could he help Lin Feng?" ”

Then I heard a hurried voice outside: "Master, it's not good, there's news from the palace...... Lin Sizheng has solved the case of Wang Shaoqing's murder, and Zhou County Ling has lost! ”

Fang Xuanling commented on Fang Yizhi, and continued: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements, if he really hinders your senior brother, my people will do it...... But ......"

"The elbow turned out, but you said it was like you were really worried about me."

"But that's just the previous ......" Zhou Helin quickly changed his tone and said: "Now that Lin Sizheng has solved the murder case of Wang Shaoqing, made meritorious contributions, and made Gao Shaoqing deflated, once this news comes out, I believe that there will be a huge change in the evaluation and impression of your colleagues, and at that time, your competition level will be directly upgraded to the first sequence." ”

Lin Feng could hear Zhou Helin's unhappiness, after all, he was competing with his strength in an upright and upright manner, and he was almost kicked out by Gao Cheng halfway, so it would be strange that he would be happy.

His brows were furrowed, the look in his eyes kept changing, and the whole person fell into more than a dozen breaths of contemplation and decision at this moment, and finally, after a while, Sun Fujia let out a long breath, he looked at Lin Feng, and only said one sentence: "When you go to investigate the case of the prince in a coma, don't forget to call me." ”

"Father, ...... you" Fang Yi looked directly at the falling chess piece, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Fang Xuanling is playing against his grandson.

It was something he had never seen before.

He looked at the heir who was too decent, and taught: "Da Lang, this is the essence of officialdom, in the officialdom, you must abide by the rules of officialdom!" In officialdom, ability is not important, background, connections, and a little ability can decide everything! ”

Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia fiercely, his eyes staring straight at Sun Fujia.

Lin Feng understood what Sun Fujia meant, his background was all supported by Xiao Yu and them, so he naturally had to move around more.

Lin Feng said softly: "But now I'm not just for merit, I have a reason to participate." ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Fang Yizhi and said in a teaching tone: "Don't use intuition to judge anyone, anything!" Relying on intuition, you will only make very limited wrong judgments based on your life experience and experience! ”

When Zhou Helin heard this, he hesitated slightly, if it was before the investigation of the case, he would definitely not tell Lin Feng, after all, Lin Feng was also his opponent, and letting Lin Feng know too much information would not do him any good.

Fang Yi pinched the white son straight, sat with his back straight, he heard his father's inquiry, and replied truthfully: "The child heard that Lin Sizheng was back, and he also went to investigate Wang Shaoqing's case. ”

"Sun Langzhong, I understand what you mean."

Then, Lin Feng told Sun Fujia that Xiao Yu wanted him to participate in the coma case of the prince of the East Palace.

At this time, Zhou Helin walked over slowly, looking at Gao Cheng's back as if he was fleeing, he sneered: "You still want to use your power to suppress people and rob us of our credit...... I don't know if he regrets his previous strong and domineering now. ”

Sun Fujia had just made it clear to himself that he didn't want to investigate the Donggong case, but as a result, now after knowing that the Donggong case was more complicated and dangerous than he imagined, he said that he would let him call him...... What Sun Fujia means does not need to be explained.

Lin Feng smiled, he didn't say anything more, just nodded and said, "Then Sun Langzhong has to be ready at any time." ”

Both of them are decisive people, and they no longer delay, and they are separated directly.

Zhang Yi's impression of Lin Feng is much better than that of Gao Cheng, although he is also a meritorious service, but Zhang Yi obviously understands the world better.

"Before Xiao Gong comes back?"

Fang Yizhi said truthfully: "The child is worried about the opportunity that his father has fought for for his senior brother. ”

It is enough for each other to understand each other's minds.

Then he saw his father stand up, Fang Xuanling walked directly to the window, opened the window, and looked outside in silence for a long time.

After a while, Fang Xuanling's voice sounded: "Find a time to invite your friends to come to the house for dinner." ”
