Stepping up, the road was smooth, and after a while, Liu Xu and the two of them left the Lin Mansion.

Two catchers quickly guarded the boudoir, and one went to inform the deacon.

At this time, Ye Yu followed behind Liu Xu and was silent without speaking.

Walking to the end of the street, Liu Xu suddenly turned around, and after a long distance, he glanced at the Lin Mansion again.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yu asked.

"Send two Clever Men to keep an eye on here. Liu Xu retracted his gaze.

"This Lin Ye, but what's the problem?" Ye Yu was slightly startled.

Liu Xu shook his head and said, "Miss Lin was obviously killed by flower thieves unintentionally, but this Lin Ye gives me the feeling that this is not the case. ”

Ye Yu was even more shocked when he heard this, and said, "You mean, he doesn't think that Miss Lin was killed by accident?"

Liu Xu held Mo Feng and walked away without answering.

"Then let's go back and do something?" Ye Yu asked again.

"First of all, the flower picking cases in the treasury in the past three months will be taken out. Not only in Dongcheng District, but also in the entire Imperial City. The more detailed the file, the better, and we need to find this flower thief first. ”

"I'll do it. Ye Yu saluted first, impatient.

Because of Liu Xu's words, he woke him up.

If it is really a flower thief who committed the crime, there will inevitably be a criminal record.

In order to save face, Miss Lin's body was illegally manipulated. But after all, there is a woman who is still alive after being violated.

From this point of view, the same message can be obtained.

Liu Xu didn't walk fast, and when he returned to the Criminal Department, all levels and departments were already busy.

In the past three months, there have been no less than a few hundred cases in Dongcheng District alone, and it is not easy to get them out one by one.

And the other three cities?

But Liu Xu didn't worry about it, because he knew that he couldn't handle the case urgently. And these things can be done by the people below.

He walked to the side hall, found Ye Yu, and asked, "Have other urban districts sent people?"

"They have all gone. Ye Yu was sorting out the files, and when he saw that it was Liu Xu, he raised his head and replied.

Liu Xu nodded, expressed satisfaction, and turned to leave.

But at this time, Ye Yu came over and said, "Boss, your mansion is fully assembled, and you can move in today." Don't blame me for being troublesome, the maids and maidservants and even the servants have been hired for you. The manager is his own person, so you can rest assured. ”

"Oh!" Liu Xu replied, not paying much attention to it, he didn't pay much attention to it.

I only bought the mansion because he still has the identity of the prince of Qingyang, and he often lives in the inn, and it is inconvenient to communicate and do things.

The mansion can at least be a place to hide from the public.

Following.

The flower picking case has not yet been fully retrieved from the government treasury, and another murder case has been revealed.

Daming Dali Temple Siqing Xingzhen died in the house.

And the murderer was very cruel, and it is said that he unloaded eight pieces.

The Xingzhen Mansion is located in the Dongcheng District of the Imperial City, and this case will inevitably fall on Liu Xu's head.

In the envoy's hall, Liu Xu received a report and immediately decided to go to the Siqing Mansion in person to find out the cause of death.

But just as he picked up Mo Feng and was about to leave the hall, a guard knocked on the door and came in.

"What's the matter?" asked Liu Xu peacefully.

The guard didn't speak, handed over a note, and turned to leave.

Liu Xu felt strange, Shi Ran unfolded the note, and saw the four characters.

Yes, I want to see you.

"Moyu!" his body froze for a moment, and Liu Xu shouted.

A weak man entered the hall and saluted, "What do you command?"

"I suddenly had something to do, and I couldn't pull away for the time being. Siqing's mansion is a big matter, you and Ye Yu go together. And there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Liu Xu instructed.

Mo Yu's face was solemn, and he knew that this matter was not small, so he bowed down and did not dare to be reckless.

"First, in order to take care of the face of the imperial court, try not to publicize it! Second, file it immediately after the case is filed, and no matter who comes, it must not be opened! Third, keep your tongue strictly shut and do not reveal any clues!"

"I've written it down, so please rest assured. "In the past few days, Mo Yu has seen everything Liu Xu has done, and he is happy and convinced.

"If anyone dares to force his way, tell the three deputy envoys that there is no need to show mercy. When he said this, Liu Xu's eyes were cold.

Mo Yu understood and knew that it was Jing Yuan, the director of the backyard.

After the explanation, Liu Xu lifted Mo Feng and stepped out of the criminal mansion.

He did not hesitate, there must be something wrong with the secret summons of the Ming Emperor, and Liu Xu went straight to the east city gate.

The Criminal Department was far away from the Imperial Palace, and it took more than an hour to arrive at full speed.

The gate was guarded by the Praetorian Guard, and seeing that it was a former envoy, he would not stop it.

Liu Xu entered the city, and the commander sent a person to the palace to report, and Liu Xu was waiting in the city.

More than half an hour later, the guards turned back, and after reporting to the commander, they took Liu Xu to see the Ming Emperor.

The two of them walked along the central road, and after passing the gate, they went all the way to the west.

The palace is huge, the palace is connected, the marble paving steps, as far as the eye can see, twelve points of vastness.

It took a long time to walk all the way.

Tossed and turned until they came to the Imperial Garden, and the guards stopped.

Liu Xu walked inside.

The Imperial Garden is very large, and it is in the middle of spring, and it should be full of flowers, but it is a little gloomy at the moment.

The gloom is not because there are no flowers, but because the flourishing branches have been pruned off.

In this way, the flowers that are not flourishing are scattered and scattered, but they look a little gorgeous.

There is a stone pavilion in the park, and a yellow satin man stands in front of the pavilion, and his eyes are light.

Liu Xu took two steps over, Shi Ran knelt on the ground, hugged his fists and said, "Mei Qinghan has seen Emperor Ming." ”

The man's eyebrows are shallow, and his eyes are narrow. At this moment, I suddenly smiled, and it seemed that I was in excellent condition.

"Mei Qing got up. Yang Xu said with a smile.

Liu Xu got up and walked closer.

"Do you know what I summoned you here today?" the man chuckled lightly, his face relaxed.

"Qinghan doesn't know!" Liu Xu clenched his fists.

"Yesterday, the Fifth Department sent a pair of soft armor, which was refined from the scales of the ghost dragon you slain that day. I thought about it, I should reward you. ”

"How can Qinghan dare to accept such a heavy object?"

The soft armor made of the dragon scales is to present the Ming Emperor, you don't have to think about it, it must be extraordinary, and Liu Xu doesn't dare to have thoughts.

"Isn't it ridiculous that the dragon still dares to slaughter, but the dragon scales dare not wear it? Yang Xu looked at it with a long narrow gaze.

Since he said this, Liu Xu did not shirk, but only hugged his fists and saluted.

Yang Xu turned around, entered the pavilion, and asked casually, "How does it feel to be an official outside the palace?"

Following in, the two sat on a stone bench.

Liu Xu looked at the former and did not evade: "Not how!"

"Oh?" There was herbal tea on the stone platform, and Yang Xu took a cup of it and smiled lightly.

"On the first day of entering the Criminal Department, he was assassinated. So far, everything has been hindered. ”

But that's not what you said at first. Yang Xu laughed and teased.

"What did the minister say?" Liu Xu looked at and asked.

"You are righteous and arrogant, tell me that if you are only given three outsiders, whether he is the big priest or Jing Yuan, you will have to go to the criminal department to stir up. Yang Xu stopped laughing, and his expression was serious at the moment.

But Liu Xu suddenly had a smile on his face.

It's a smile to be played with.

"Today, Your Majesty summoned the ministers, and the ministers also want to see Your Majesty. Liu Xu said.

Oh?

The corners of Emperor Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and then he also smiled, with a bright smile.

Because he guessed the meaning of Liu Xu's words.

In fact, when Liu Xu saw him, he did not forget his promise, but to seek support.

"I'm not mistaken! This is a clever and profound statement.

Because it pointed out his situation at this time.

Although Yang Xu had already said this, Liu Xu's gaze remained the same, and he said calmly: "Qinghan wants to make a move, but he is not enough in intelligence, and I am afraid that he will not be able to control the overall situation." ”

As soon as these words came out, the meaning became even clearer.

Liu Xu wanted intelligence support.

"Heh!" Yang Xu suddenly couldn't help but be amused.

Then he picked up the herbal tea and drank another cup.

"You really dare to mention it!" put down the jade cup, Ming Huang said.

"Why don't you dare?" Liu Xu asked rhetorically, looking serious.

"The Heavenly Supervisor is my lonely man, the only bargaining chip. The scene was a little solemn for a moment.

"Not really!" Liu Xu said three words.

When this sentence fell, Yang Xu's gaze changed suddenly.

He looked at Liu Xu with a strange expression.

The air became so quiet that you couldn't even hear your breath.

"Qing Han can also be His Majesty's bargaining chip. Liu Xu looked at each other and did not bow his head.

The atmosphere suddenly eased.

Liu Xu's sentence is divided into two paragraphs, which makes people feel good.

Yang Xu's expression was retracted, and his face returned to calm.

He took the pot and poured another cup of herbal tea.

This is the third cup.

"Then do you want to know my intention to meet you?" Yang Xu asked.

Qing Han wasn't curious, and he didn't want to bother guessing. Liu Xu replied truthfully.

The next moment, Yang Xu raised his hand, and the young eunuch outside the pavilion came over with something.

Yang Xu stretched out his hand to lift the cloth, and a circuit map appeared in Liu Xu's eyes.

The young eunuch retreated, and Liu Xu began to tremble.

His heart was extremely unsettled, though his gaze did not change at all.

But endless thoughts lingered in his mind, and in an instant, he knew the Ming Emperor's intentions.

But it can't be shown.

His face was calm and indifferent.

Yang Xu only drank tea and stopped talking.

The next moment, Liu Xu Shiran took out the circuit diagram from the tray. He glanced at it casually, but didn't pay much attention to it.

It wasn't until a moment later that his gaze gradually changed.

And the changes are gradually deepening.

Then I made a feeling of disconfidence, picked up the drawings again, and looked at them carefully.

These expressions and movements are all under Yang Xu's eyes.

Yang Xu still didn't speak.

The paper is painted with a map of official exile, a very private thing.

Exile is not common in the punishment of the law.

Generally speaking, only ministers who have committed serious crimes will be assigned to the frontier in order to remember their old deeds and save their children from death.

And in order to protect the life of the distributor, this exile map is not public.

Because once it leaks, it will be hunted down and killed by the enemy, how can the distributor live?

But now, the Ming Emperor leaked the exile line to Liu Xu.

So it goes without saying that Emperor Ming wants Liu Xu to kill a matchmaker.

And this distributor, you don't have to think about it, it's naturally Zuo Qin.

Liu Xu's heart began to chill.

The man in front of him, the forgiveness of the eldest son of the right minister written in the holy decree is not true.

His true meaning was presented in front of Liu Xu at this time, and he was killed in a hurry!

The right prime minister copied and beheaded, obviously wrong, but he did not admit his mistake, and he had to make a mistake to the end.

Is this the Emperor's Mind?

"Minister, understood! The minister will be out of the execution house tomorrow. Minister, please resign!" Liu Xu put away the exile route map, and said three ministers in a row, speaking calmly.

"You have become my bargaining chip, and I am willing to accept what you ask. For a moment, Yang Xu said.

Liu Xu heard, but did not reply. Reach out and take the dragon soft armor and stroll out of the imperial garden.
