Second minister and thief

Chapter 37 Close the door

Master Chu, who successfully appreciated General Xiao's change of face, consciously regained his fortune, and went out to investigate the case contentedly.If it was before, he would never have been so childlike that he would be complacent after teasing others.But now he has long been tossed by the high fever to the point where he has lost his due reason and judgment, and it is normal for him to do anything unbelievable.

At this time, Lord Chu, who was leaning against the inner wall of the carriage, was holding his eyebrows in one hand and reading a volume of poetry in the other.He was really not in a good state this morning. After reading it for a while, the small print in front of his eyes appeared double.

This collection of poems was discovered by the chance when the Criminal Court sent people to search Master Li's dormitory, and it caught Chu Linqiu's attention because a few pages were burned.He had an intuition that there must be some secret buried in it, but after looking at it all the way, not only did he have no clue, but his brain became more and more dizzy.In desperation, he had to put it aside temporarily.

Today's search of the Prime Minister's Mansion by order is a hard battle. He needs to recharge his batteries so that there will be no jokes by then.Xiao Cen was right, if you are not feeling well, you should hide and take good care of it, don't go out to embarrass yourself, but the time left for him is running out.

If he didn't find out the clues of the matter before the big wedding, he might be completely unsafe.

Master Chu secretly raised a corner of the curtain to let the breeze from outside blow in his face, which somewhat cleared his mind.But he never expected that he could inadvertently overhear two people on the street talking about what happened yesterday.Although it was not a good word, Mr. Chu was still so fascinated by it that he even forgot the discomfort on his body.

After a long while, he clenched his hands into fists, pressed his lips to cough twice, and then raised his voice to ask the driver outside the door, "Where are you?" Immediately, he was very dissatisfied with the hoarseness in his voice, and helped Standing up with his forehead in his hands, he personally poured a cup of cold tea and drank half a sip. Only then did he feel the coldness in his mouth and feel much more comfortable.

"My lord, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not far ahead. But..."

"Say."

The coachman thought he hesitated outside for a while, and he heard him say after a while, "The gate of Xiangfu is closed, no one can see it. Isn't it small..."

After hearing the first half sentence, Chu Linqiu's face darkened suddenly. He thought to himself, the prime minister wanted to come by himself, but he deliberately ordered people to close the door tightly, and didn't send a servant to wait here , Doesn't this mean that you shut yourself out?Not only that, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to let the people in the world know that dignified first-rank officials do not need to show favor to the imperial court.And under his leadership, other people will gradually join his ranks.If things go on like this, it will cause huge obstacles to your own plan to settle the case.

Although the law is strict, it cannot be held accountable.Seeing that the situation is irreversible, the sage will sooner or later take a stand-by attitude and let him solve it by himself.At that time, the sage won his good name and loyalty, and the officials won back his face and interests, but he, Chu Linqiu... was the one who was really called out by everyone.

"My lord!!!" The coachman angrily tore off his turban and threw it on the ground, turned around and jumped off the shaft, and came to the window and whispered, "This subordinate will send a signal for brothers to come over. Don’t dare not open the door.”

"..."

"My lord? Are you okay?" The coachman bowed and waited outside the carriage for a long time, but he didn't wait for Chu Linqiu's order, so he couldn't help feeling puzzled.He was about to lift the curtain of the car to find out, when he heard his master's voice sounding in time, although it was a little teasing, but the weakness in it could not be concealed, "Well, the elite of the court, you want to Learn from that bandit. Have you forgotten what I taught you all day? Or... ahem, and want to go to the martial arts field for ten days and ten nights."

"Uh..." Hearing those three words, the coachman couldn't help shrinking his neck back, and even his expression became uncomfortable, obviously he had lingering fears about what Chu Linqiu had mentioned.
