Seventeen days in the capital

So when Mu said this, no one dared to contradict Zebei Zhezhi. On the contrary, they all echoed: "The ministers think that what the Taiwei said is reasonable." These matters should be discussed, and if the prefect of Yingdu is ineffective, he should be punished instead of helping him investigate the case in the court.

Rukawa Suwen The current emperor, Mu Shenyi, is a good emperor who is diligent and caring for the people, but because he has not been on the throne for a long time and his foundation is not stable, he is restrained by Zebei Zhezhi in everything, and it is difficult to display his ambitions.Obviously, Mu's face darkened after hearing Zebei Zhezhi's words, and Rukawa knew that Mu definitely didn't want to let it go.So Rukawa said: "Taiwei, there is something unknown about Rukawa, what is a national event?"

"National affairs are the emperor's business. Naturally, they are related to our Daqi Jiangshan Sheji or to the majority of people in the world, not to three or two people." Zhebei Zhezhi said solemnly.

"Then Rukawa dares to ask Taiwei again, can this year's candidates be regarded as disciples of the emperor?" Rukawa continued to ask.

But after his question, Zebei Zhezhi stopped talking.At this time, Mu saw the right moment, so he asked Xiandao: "Master Xiandao, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, what do you think?"

Xiandao got up, bowed and replied: "The top three in each subject examination are hand-picked by the emperor, so these candidates should also be regarded as disciples of the emperor."

After Xiandao finished answering, Ruchuan's heart warmed up, and he immediately continued his words: "My lords, since the accident happened to the emperor's disciple, how can it not be regarded as the emperor's duty to intervene in person?"

Speaking of this, Zebei Zhezhi already knew that he could not argue with Rukawa, so he said: "The old minister was confused for a while, since the emperor's internal affairs, the old minister implores the emperor to send Rukawa to handle this case, but the people in the capital are currently in a state of panic, so this matter must be resolved immediately. The veteran thinks that Rukawa should be given a deadline to solve the case as soon as possible, and the deadline is limited to three days, I wonder what the emperor wants?"

It was true that Mu originally wanted Rukawa to solve the case, but he never thought of giving him a deadline, or such a short deadline.But now that Zebei Zhezhi has said so, he really has no better reason to refute Zebei Zhezhi, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "Rukawa, I will assign you full authority to handle this case, you can go in and out of any place, call anyone Assist in the investigation, but within three days, if the truth cannot be found out within three days, I will punish you for ineffectiveness, send you to the frontier, and never return to the court." After speaking, Mu left the White Tiger Hall.

Ruchuan's heart was shaken, he never expected that the pastor would let him issue a military order, and after he regained his composure, he realized that Xiandao was looking at him with worry in his eyes...

Rukawa returned to his room in the inn, only to find that Mitsui was sitting there waiting for him without sleep.Seeing that Rukawa came back safely, Mitsui stood up excitedly from his seat, and after some questioning, he became worried for Rukawa, and then said: "It's too much, he's going to kill you, think about it, he thought My painting and calligraphy are very good, but they were criticized to the point where we saw them, and he forced you to issue a military order in order to regain your dignity."

Rukawa, who hadn't laughed all day, smiled after hearing Mitsui's reasoning, and said: "No, the emperor is not a stingy person, he must have other intentions for doing this. "

Mitsui heard that Rukawa was still speaking for the emperor, so he said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't care what his intentions are, anyway, if he dares to kill you, brother, I will rescue you even if I rob the court, Feng Don't be afraid."

"The robbery field? It's not easy." Rukawa said lightly.

"How difficult it can be, the worst case is failure, and my brother will die with you." Mitsui said carelessly, but he didn't know that his heroic arrogance actually touched Rukawa's heart.

Sure enough, apart from Xiandao and Mitsui, the ones worried about Rukawa were naturally Eiji.After Eiji learned that Rukawa was forced to issue a military order at Baihutang, he hurried into the palace, stepped into the imperial study room, and saw Mu was reviewing the memorial.

"Brother-in-law of the emperor, how could you do this? Aren't you clearly trying to kill him?" Rong Zhi came to Mu's desk and said angrily, putting aside the memorial that Mu was reading, and continued: " Don't read it, you let him solve the case for three days, you might as well kill him, I don't care, you must take it back."

"Stop arguing, talk to me if you have something to say, what's the matter?" Mu said softly, for this straightforward brother-in-law, he has always had nothing to do with him.

"You clearly know what I'm talking about. I told you that Rukawa is smart. I just want you to give him a chance to make meritorious service. In this way, even if he doesn't do well in the exam, he can still be reused. But I didn't expect that you let him If he issued a military order, wouldn’t he lose his life? Wouldn’t that mean that I killed him? I don’t care, you must immediately write an edict to spare him.” Then, Rong Zhi sent the brush to Mu hands.

Persevering, Mu ignored him, stood up, and said in a stern tone: "Absurd, you are not joking. When you recommended him to me, didn't you say that he is smart and has the ability to find out the truth?"

"But even if he is capable, he may not be able to find out in three days, or you will give him three months? Or three years?" Rong Zhi suggested without hesitation.

Mu glanced at him, put his hands behind his back, came to the window and said: "You can't have both, since you want me to use him, then he must have something special, I have given him the opportunity, if he It's just a waste of fame, so I have to resign myself to fate."

Rongzhi saw that Mu was determined not to withdraw his life, so he said loudly: "Why are you so ruthless and cruel!" After finishing speaking, he left the imperial study angrily, and went to find other ways.

Mu Yan watched Rongzhi walk out of the imperial study, then sighed, and asked Mito beside him: "Yohei, is Zhen really ruthless and cold?"

Mito Zuoyi replied: "Your Majesty, most of the people in the court today are the henchmen of Taiwei Zebei. The emperor really needs to recruit more talents to compete with Taiwei Zebei. If Mr. Rukawa succeeds, the emperor can be justified. Entrusting him with a heavy responsibility and using some extraordinary means for the sake of the country and the country cannot be regarded as selfish and ruthless."

"Hey..." Mu sighed, and then said: "Yangping, I ordered you to secretly help Rukawa these few days and help him solve the case as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Due to time constraints, Rukawa, Mugure and Mitsui gathered in the room early in the morning to discuss the suspicious points of the case. At present, there are three unclear points: [-]. Kiyota died in the library, why is he covered with books moved from far away , What exactly did the murderer want to hide?not understand.Second, Itakura died in the water tank, so why did the murderer go to such lengths to kill him?I don't understand either.Three, Tsuchiya was almost drowned by the river. According to him, it was a ghost, so why did the murderer want to kill him?not understand.

However, these three do not understand but have two things in common. First, the victims are all popular candidates for this year's candidates.Two, it's all related to the beautiful boy who threw himself into the river.In terms of motivation, it is very likely that a certain candidate wants to use the name of a ghost to deceive people and remove popular candidates, so that he has a chance to be named on the gold list.

The three of them were discussing, when suddenly a ball of paper flew in from the window, Mitsui stepped forward, opened it, and saw a letter: To solve the case, come with me.

After hesitating for a moment, the three of them decided to go out and find out. They chased all the way to the street. At this moment, a second ball of paper appeared and wrote: If you want to solve the case, go forward.Although he didn't even know who the other party was, it would be very dangerous to rashly follow his instructions, but there was no time now, so Rukawa decided to give it a try no matter what.

Following the instructions of the paper ball, the three of them went all the way to the woods in the outskirts, but lost their clues.Just when he didn't know what to do, he saw Eiji heading here on a horse.Only then did the three of them suddenly realize that besides Rongzhi, who else could do such a boring thing.

Rongzhi jumped off the horse at once, came to Rukawa, put the token in his arms into his hand, and said: "Feng'er, this is my father's order to leave the customs, you get on the horse and leave here quickly, or else , If you don’t find out the truth in three days, you will be sent to the army, you go, if my father finds out that the token is missing, you won’t be able to go.”

Rukawa looked at his flustered expression, he was still panting, presumably because he was running too fast, he couldn't help but be moved by his kindness, but he, who has never been very happy, still said lightly: "I What's the use of escaping from the capital, there are kings in the world, one is the emperor, the other is the captain, where can I escape?"

"Then what should I do?" Rongzhi was at a loss for a while, and then he kept blaming himself, saying that if he hadn't recommended Rukawa to the emperor, Rukawa would have continued to take the number one exam, but now... In the end, Rongzhi Actually shed tears, he hugged Rukawa, hugged him tightly, and cried loudly.

Rukawa didn't expect Eiji to act like this, he was at a loss for a while, and finally said coldly: "Don't cry, why are you crying, am I dead now?"

After being told by Rukawa, Eiji tried his best to calm down his emotions, only to hear Rukawa continue to say in a soft tone: "I know you treat me well and care about me, listen to me, since I dare to issue a military order, I will definitely be able to Solve the case."

Eiji to the end
