Chapter 337: First Strike
After what happened to Fang Cai, Chen Jianru had basically pushed Liu Xiqian into Cai Jin's camp.
In this way, Cai Jin is bound to try his best to help Liu Xiqian clear his name, even if Hu Deyong's side is not convinced, it will not be able to influence the verdict of the Criminal Department.
Chen Jianru was already the biggest suspect, and the Criminal Department was bound to try its best to impose this matter on Chen Jianru.
Hu Deyong's side, of course, will not give up, then the next thing will be interesting, it is still unknown who will die in this matter.
However, Lin Shiyin is still more inclined to Hu Deyong's side, if Cai Jin gets his wish, it will once again fuel Cai Jin's rising power, and at that time, Hu Deyong is bound to be weak, and it won't even take long before Cai Jin will be eaten up.
Truth be told, it's not the situation she wants to see.
She didn't want to upset the balance until she was sure of dealing with them.
However, she can give Hu Deyong some help as appropriate, so that Hu Deyong will not have no chance of winning against Cai Jin.
If this succeeds, she will get far more than she needs to risk.
All in all, let them dog-eat-dog.
"Obey. Song Zhenhuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly bowed down to receive the order.
He didn't think of the deep meaning of Lin Shiyin's move for a while, but even if he knew that this matter would cause trouble, he had to agree.
This matter was originally within his duty, and he couldn't refuse, and he couldn't refuse.
Of course, he also knew that this was a chore, and if he was not careful, he would make enemies for himself everywhere.
However, after considering that the next object to be investigated was the examiners from Hu Deyong's camp, he was relieved.
They were originally in different camps, the two parties were fighting, and the two of them were already-for-tat, and he didn't need to care about these at all.
At this time, many people in the court have realized that something is wrong, but the Criminal Department has thoroughly investigated this matter, which is understandable, I hope they are too worried.
Even Cai Jin frowned slightly, how could this matter look so like His Majesty wanted to provoke a dispute between the two parties?
But what good is it for Your Majesty to do so?
At least, on the bright side, no, what His Majesty has always wanted is checks and balances, and doing so will inevitably break this checks and balances.
He doesn't think that Hu Deyong can defeat him, he has the initiative in this matter, plus his background in the court, he is far beyond Hu Deyong, what does the other party use to fight him?
Perhaps, all this is because he is thinking too much, His Majesty didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to find out the real culprit who leaked the secret of the trial, so he handed over this matter to the Criminal Department.
After all, this matter should have been handled by the Criminal Department.
As for the matter of Mingyue Pavilion, Cai Jin chose not to mention it, he already had a faint guess in his heart, the mastermind behind this matter was only afraid that there was someone else.
However, Cai Jin doesn't plan to delve deeper now, only Chen Jianru is the real murderer he wants to see the most.
Hu Deyong's mood is quite complicated, now the development of things has completely deviated from the direction he expected before, originally in his opinion, as long as Chen Jianru can occupy the initiative, he will be able to take advantage of the situation to put all the blame on Liu Xiqian.
At that time, Liu Xiqian was naturally speechless.
It's just that things have evolved to the present, and the initiative in their hands has unknowingly fallen into the hands of Cai Jin, and their situation will be extremely disadvantageous next.
He wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, it turned into a long sigh, His Majesty's arrangement was reasonable, and he couldn't even find anything to oppose.
Lin Shiyin retracted her gaze, got up and left her seat, and a slightly sharp voice from the internal official came from behind her: "Retreat!"
This incident was really unexpected by mistake.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiyin's face couldn't help but smile.
She is also looking forward to what will happen next.
......
After retiring from the dynasty, Cai Jin and Hu Deyong were not idle, and summoned their henchmen respectively to discuss countermeasures.
Especially Hu Deyong, when he left, his face was gloomy and terrible.
After returning to Hufu and taking a seat, Chen Jianru also had a solemn face, and this incident was very likely to cause him to be killed.
Thinking of this, Chen Jianru couldn't help but sigh secretly that his luck was not good", during this period of time, their Chen family was also full of disasters, and their uncle and nephew both suffered such an unwarranted disaster.
"My lord, Cai Jin is bound to draw the fire to me next, how can this be good?" Chen Jianru smiled bitterly, feeling at a loss.
Hu Deyong pondered for a while, this matter is really troublesome, if it is not well considered, even if there is a countermeasure, it will inevitably give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of, after a long time, he finally said: "This matter, we still can't sit still, we must strike first, let alone wait for the criminal department to put the knife on our necks, by then, it will be too late." ”
"Please give me some advice. ”
When Chen Jianru heard this, his originally somewhat silent face couldn't help but recover a little bit of his vitality, although he couldn't understand much about what Hu Deyong said, Hu Deyong must have a solution to the current dilemma.
Hu Deyongde's previous countermeasures were still extremely effective, not only allowing him to reverse his passive situation, but also successfully channeling the fire to Liu Xiqian's body, but it backfired, and he didn't expect His Majesty to propose to let the Criminal Department deal with this matter, so that the advantage they had created with great difficulty before was gone.
"If we want to solve the current predicament, the key is still on Liu Xiqian's body, even if the Criminal Department wants to deliberately target you, but it can't be unfounded, but if all the spearheads are pointed at Liu Xiqian, then the Criminal Department can't still cover it. Hu Deyong said coldly.
"That's true. Chen Jianru thought deeply, although this matter was handled by the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department could not cover the sky with one hand.
"Cai Jin, who is old and immortal, there was news that he was critically ill a few days ago, why did he suddenly jump alive again?" Hu Weiyong said suddenly.
When he first learned the news, he didn't immediately believe it, after all, Chaikin is scheming, maybe this is his conspiracy?
But after many confirmations, he still confirmed the authenticity of this matter.
The joy in my heart at that time could not be explained in one or two sentences.
