Great Wei scholar

Another quarter of an hour later, the other party fetched it and placed the dossier in front of Xu Qingxiao.

Xu Qingxiao looked at them one by one.

As expected, all of the 14 people are fine and living well.

Oh, no, the last person died, criticizing Emperor Wu for his fault in the Northern Expedition, and then beheaded for public display.

This death is very normal. Many people died in Emperor Wu's later years, and many people were involved.

Emperor Wu reigned for 53 years.

That is to say, Zhou Bai was first shown to the public five months before the empress ascended the throne.

something wrong.

something wrong.

There is a big problem.

"2000 taels of silver."

"Master Zhang Nantian."

"The five people who handle the case are not dead but crazy."

"This is a warning, but also an attitude."

"Some people want this file to be sealed forever, and they don't want anyone to continue the investigation."

All the clues have been cut off, and it has been ten years since the incident. It is very difficult to review it now. If it takes another ten or twenty years, it will be even more impossible to investigate this case clearly.

"I want to find out the stolen money."

"We must find out who is behind the scenes."

"Otherwise you'll never find out where the stolen money is."

Xu Qingxiao understood this truth.

He sat in the master room and meditated.

But after a while, a gleam suddenly appeared in Xu Qingxiao's eyes.

"wrong!"

"wrong!"

"Your Majesty has read this dossier, everyone in the Ministry of Punishment has read it, and even some of the six departments have read it."

"I can think of this, and it's impossible for these people not to think of it."

"Especially the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, even they can already guess a few suspects."

"But why didn't they continue to investigate?"

"They don't dare to continue the investigation. The people involved in this case must have a lot of background, so big that the Six Departments dare not move."

"Even Emperor Wu in his later years didn't dare to continue to investigate, or he couldn't investigate in order to stabilize the overall situation!"

"Six Departments dare not investigate! Emperor Wu does not want to investigate!"

"Why are you entrusting this matter to me now?"

Xu Qingxiao frowned, each thought flashed through her mind.

"In order to let me sit on the bench, the Ministry of Justice handed over this matter to me to disgust me on purpose."

"And because I made a big fuss in the Ministry of Punishment, His Majesty asked me to find out the matter, so as to make up for it."

Xu Qingxiao began to think.

This dossier is no longer a hot potato, and the things involved are huge, definitely beyond my imagination.

I shouldn't pick it up, and I can't pick it up.

How could a person who didn't dare to move even the six parts do it himself?

Are you really not afraid of death?

It's true that there is reason to travel all over the world, but the problem is, isn't it enough to kill you before you find the reason?

"and many more!"

Xu Qingxiao thought it through at this moment.

"I came to the Ministry of Punishment, it was arranged by His Majesty."

"Theoretically, it should go to the Ministry of Rites, or the Ministry of Industry, Qingshui Yamen, whether it's a mixed seniority or a boiled seniority."

"It is impossible for me to come to the Ministry of Punishment. If you really want to use my talents, you should let me go to the Ministry of Households to develop the economy of Wei."

"Everyone in the world misunderstands that my article is a conceptual article, but Your Majesty knows it best."

"She first arranged for me to go to the Ministry of Officials. Naturally, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree, so His Majesty took the step of retreating and arranged me into the Ministry of Punishment. But Your Majesty understands one more truth. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will definitely wear shoes for me."

"So Your Majesty already expected that the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment would hand over this dossier to me."

"Even she expected that I would make a big fuss in the Ministry of Punishment, so that's why when I was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment only declared me into the palace when I was in the Minister of Punishment."

"Let me make a big fuss in the Ministry of Justice, let me take a breath and balance my anger."

"Stop it at a critical moment, and save the face of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, so that there will be no turmoil. It belongs to the point."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is full of anger, and he will definitely trouble me, but His Majesty asked me to investigate this case to appease the public's anger."

"It seems to be partial, but in fact His Majesty wants me to take over the case."

"She wants to find out who is behind the scenes."

Xu Qingxiao thought it through thoroughly.

From the moment she went to court, or even from the moment His Majesty declared herself into the capital, she had already thought of this step.

OK!

Really good.

The sincerity of the ancients does not deceive me.

A companion is really like a tiger.

A simple job arrangement, counting the six departments and all the people, everything that everyone does, the empress has already thought of, and everyone follows her idea, step by step go for a walk.

What kind of monster is this?

Thinking of this moment, Xu Qingxiao fell silent.

There was complete silence.

After a long time, Xu Qingxiao let out a long breath.

This case is about to be completely revealed.

And I will not be in any danger, to be precise, I am not afraid of any danger.

Because the Empress wanted to investigate this case, she couldn't be hindered.

Any obstacle is not a big deal in front of the emperor.

"Since investigating the case, His Majesty is also testing me."

At the same time, Xu Qingxiao also understood another thing.

If I really take over this case, I will definitely encounter some things, such as coercion, temptation, power, money and sex. If I am also like these five people, if I am bribed or intimidated by others, then my fate will not be better. where it goes.

Half a step early.

Xu Qingxiao was a little thankful that he understood everything half a step earlier.

If you think about it while you are stupidly investigating the case, you may be in trouble.

The empress is testing herself, firstly, is her ability to handle affairs, and secondly, whether she can serve her well. If her ability to handle affairs is not good, but she is loyal to His Majesty, she can get a good job.

If you are capable of doing things, but you don't work for her, then there is danger.

If the ability to handle affairs is so-so, and you don't work for her, you will probably be Qingshui Yamen for the rest of your life.

"Chao Tang."

"It's really fascinating, but also frightening."

Xu Qingxiao murmured to herself, but her eyes were full of determination.

Although it was half a step late to guess what the empress thought.

It's justifiable, after all, I just entered the court, so it's pretty good to be able to think half a step in advance.

To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that the six ministers may have just reacted, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao got up and left, and walked outside the Ministry of Punishment.

After get off work, go for a walk.

And at the same time.

In the Great Wei Palace.

Chen Zhengru, the prime minister of the left, sat on the left, followed by Wang Xinzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Gu Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, sat on the right, and Zhang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, went down one by one.

Inside Wen Palace, it was extremely quiet.

Chen Zhengru called them over, but remained silent for a long time, which made everyone a little curious.

But the three of them are all ministers, so there is still something in the city.

Also at this time.

Chen Zhengru's voice sounded.

"Everyone, something is going to happen to Da Wei."

Chen Zhengru said calmly.

In an instant, the expressions of the three of them changed slightly.

"Is it Xu Qingxiao?"

Zhang Jing asked with a frown.

"No."

Chen Zhengru shook his head and gave an answer.

"What's that?"

Gu Yan frowned.

"Pingqiu Mansion Disaster Relief Case."

Chen Zhengru opened his mouth slowly and said six words.

In an instant, everyone's expressions changed again.

"Xu Qingxiao can't find out." Zhang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, shook his head, and his first reaction was this.

However, Gu Yan's voice sounded.

"be cheated."

There was a look of astonishment in his eyes. It was almost like after Chen Zhengru said this, he immediately understood everything.

"be cheated?"

"What's the trick?"

Zhang Jing frowned even more. He was dizzy today, and his mind was really not very flexible.

"His Majesty asked Xu Qingxiao to serve in the Ministry of Officials, to advance by retreat, and finally to the Ministry of Punishment."

"I thought His Majesty only valued Xu Qingxiao, but I didn't expect His Majesty's calculations to be so big."

Gu Yan opened his mouth, and when he said a word, Zhang Jing and Wang Xinzhi suddenly realized.

The two sat aside, shocked to silence.

They didn't understand before, but Gu Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had already talked about this.
