How to Raid the Queen

After a few days, the investigators on both ends of the case were sent out, and Jing Wenhao was very satisfied with the progress.Especially since Xie Xuan had to take some time to prepare for his big wedding, after speeding up the things in hand, everything was almost a matter of course.

It was another early morning, and just after Jing Wenhao asked symbolically, "Is there something for the Qing family to announce", Xie Xuan immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce." Xie Xuan stood up.

"Ai Qing, let's talk." Jing Wenhao sat seriously, with expectations written all over his face. They all knew what would happen next.

"Yesterday, a murder case was transferred from Fulin County in the suburbs of Beijing to Dali Temple. I led my subordinates to interrogate the principal culprit overnight. Unexpectedly, the man confessed that he was the murderer in the massacre of the Yang family in Beijing three years ago. As usual, Xie Xuan raised a booklet over his head, and then a little eunuch took the booklet and handed it to Jing Wenhao.

"Oh, since it's been so hard to love Qing." Jing Wenhao took the booklet, and on it was written the prisoner's confession in black and white. Xie Xuan had already outlined the important points with a cinnabar pen, which was very clear. "Since the case is clear, Aiqing will follow the rules, but what went wrong in the Ministry of Criminal Justice's review? Need to bring it to the court?"

"Going back to the emperor, that's not the case." Xie Xuan stood upright on the main hall. Although his hair was neatly tied into the crown, he always looked unshaven, which made people think that Mr. Xie had really worked hard. "Your Majesty, what I want to talk about is not about this criminal, but the mastermind behind him. This person is of great importance. If I rashly investigate it, I will be leapfrogging and committing the crime of usurpation, so I am here to Ask the emperor for an imperial decree."

Jing Wenhao frowned, and his face suddenly changed. Everyone could see that he was about to get angry. Sure enough, there was a bit of sullenness in his tone, and he said: "You are a majestic Dali Temple official, a fourth-rank official, I I really want to know, who can make you overstep in interrogation!"

As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers were shocked.Three years ago, the tragedy of the Yang family being exterminated in Beijing was a popular topic of conversation.Speaking of which, the Yang family in the middle of the capital is also a mystery. It seems that none of the family is capable. With someone, Pingdi bought a house with three entrances and three exits in the best location in central Beijing, and the family moved in ostentatiously.

If there is anything special about this family, it is the daughter of the head of the family, she is an out-and-out beauty.After that girl Jiji, the matchmaker who came to the door to promise her marriage broke through the one-foot-high threshold, but she didn't know what the girl's family wanted, so she insisted on not letting her out.This delay lasted for two years. Although the girl was older, the number of people who came to her door never stopped.

I'm afraid that the sky is also jealous of the confidante. This daughter's parents are too good, and she failed to find her husband's family in time, so it became a disaster.It is said that a rich man fell in love with the youngest daughter of this family and insisted on snatching it back to be his concubine. How could the family agree, and the girl's younger brother scolded those people at that time.As a result, that night, they were wrapped in sacks and beaten into fools in the alley. The family wanted to cry but had no tears, and looked for someone to avenge their grievances everywhere. They were afraid that the people behind them would be anxious when they saw this and did something.The people in Beijing had different guesses for a while, they just wanted to see who the two families were standing behind.However, this matter did not come to the surface in the end, because at the cusp, the Yang family disappeared overnight.All twenty members of the family were wiped out, not even the dogs in the yard were left for them.After killing the people, a big fire was set. When the fire was extinguished, the family members were almost all charred corpses, and even the inspection failed to find anything.

At that time, the late emperor also issued an order to investigate, but this matter, the two families did it in a concealed manner, and in the end there was no way to investigate it. It must be because the status of the people behind this is not low. If it is found out, it may be a loss of troops. In the end, it can only be done Let it go.The government actually let someone out to say that he was the main culprit, but everyone knew that person was like a mirror in their hearts, knowing that he was just a scapegoat. After all, the trouble was so big, it can be regarded as an explanation to the people in Beijing.

Now, is this case going to be brought out?Anyone who can stand in this hall is of a certain level. Now Xie Xuan has made it clear that the person who committed the crime is of a higher level than him. When he became interested, he narrowed the scope in his heart and guessed separately.

"Back to the emperor, according to the criminal's confession, the mastermind behind the scenes is General Chen's son, Chen Fan, the first-class lieutenant general in the Second Battalion of Daqi." Xie Xuan said sharply, the voice resounding through the hall.

The adults finally heard this name at this time, and their hearts were even more turbulent. Most of them were shocked. It turned out to be him. After thinking about it again, it seemed to make sense. After all, this youngest son of the Chen family is really not easy to mess with. , relying on the power of General Chen, it is not uncommon for him to be domineering in Beijing.

First-class lieutenant-general, although he is a third-rank general, spends most of his days training in the army and does not need to go to court. Therefore, Old General Chen, who is standing in the hall at this time, has become the target of public criticism.

Old General Chen almost spat out a mouthful of old blood at this time. Since Jing Wenhao sent someone to check his army's accounts a few days ago, he knew that he had gone too far in his actions these days, so these The days have been deliberately restrained a lot, just thinking of procrastinating for as long as possible, so that Jing Wenhao can forget about this incident. He never thought that the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind kept coming, but someone found out about it.The most important thing is that if someone intentionally tried to punish him, he would be fine, but this matter is very likely to be true.Although he didn't personally take action back then, the incident got bigger after all, and another important minister in the court was involved in it, the youngest son was afraid that he would not be able to suppress this incident in the end, so he decided to Tell him the whole thing.In this way, this matter was finally suppressed by him.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Although General Chen was worried, he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only pretend to be calm, and retorted in such a serious manner.

Xie Xuan was not frightened by General Chen's words at all. Instead, he looked at General Chen calmly and said, "Whether it's nonsense, the emperor took a look at the testimony. The items listed in it were personally judged by the minister. , now there are no more than five people who know about it. Some of the evidence in it is too secret, and it is inconvenient for me to tell it in public, so I ask the emperor to look back."

Jing Wenhao sorted out his expression, turned back according to Xie Xuan's meaning, and saw the evidence that he could almost memorize.What is going on in this case, Jing Wenhao knows very well. He also happened to know some clues of this case back then, so he found out about it. His father closed the case, so he didn't pursue it any further. Now it's just used to suppress General Chen and change the blood of his army. By the way, he can take this opportunity to promote Xie Xuan to an official position.

Jing Wenhao casually flipped through the notebook twice, then made a look of anger, and threw the notebook at General Chen's feet.

"General Chen, do you want to see these things?"

General Chen knelt tremblingly, not daring to pick up the bag lying at his feet, he could only say blindly: "The dog will definitely not do such a heinous thing, I hope the emperor will see clearly."

There should be no expression on Jing Wenhao's face at this time, and he said without fluctuation in his tone: "Xie Xuan, immediately take someone to take my handbook and go to the army to arrest Chen Fan, and let me have a clear trial."

Xie Xuan knelt down, kowtowed, and said loudly: "I obey the order."

Without waiting for General Chen to say anything, and without waiting for civil and military officials to start gossiping, Jing Wenhao walked out angrily after saying "retire from the court".

Seeing Jing Wenhao's back in a hurry, all the officials felt that the emperor must be angry this time, but only Jing Wenhao knew that he was rushing back to accompany Li Xi.

Before Li Zhiyuan left the palace yesterday, he told them that his marriage was coming soon and he hadn't had time to prepare many things, so he won't be entering the palace for a few days.Li Xi likes Li Zhiyuan, thinks this kid is fun, so he loves him like a younger brother.The leave was approved on the spot, and a few experienced people from the palace were sent directly to live in Li Zhiyuan's residence to help with the arrangements.

Li Zhiyuan was also overjoyed, took out a red wedding invitation on the spot, took out his own pen and wrote the words "Emperor" and "Queen" on it, and then solemnly handed it over to Li Xi.

Li Xi was used to Li Zhiyuan's fuss on weekdays, but as expected that person didn't come today, Li Xi took a book to read by himself.

Li Xi has become more and more lazy in recent days. He was obviously sitting on the rocking chair in the main hall, but when he saw Jing Wenhao coming in, he no longer stood up to greet him like he used to. Instead, he stretched himself out and watched Jing Wenhao smiled slightly, and said: "The emperor is early today."

Even with such a casual action, Jing Wenhao still felt like he was drunk.In March of Yangchun, like a spring breeze, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grinned, and he pulled out a big smile. He walked two steps faster, arrived in front of Li Xi, squatted next to Li Xi, held someone's hand with one hand, and said: " miss you."

Li Xi didn't expect Jing Wenhao to say this suddenly, so she blushed a little and said, "Why does the emperor say these things?"

Jing Wenhao grabbed the man's hand and put it on his lips for a kiss, met Shang Li Xi's eyes, and said: "It's the truth, I wish I could hold you in my arms all the time."

After speaking, he got up, took advantage of the opportunity to pull Li Xi up, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go out of the palace?"

Li Xi looked at Jing Wenhao in surprise, not quite believing it.

Jing Wenhao rubbed Li Xi's head and said, "Change into your clothes and take you back to Li's Mansion today."
