Omi had to sit up

"Ting Wei Gong Changqin brought Ting Wei Shaoqing Lin Chenshu, Ting Wei's left supervisor Shao Yuping, and Ting Wei's right supervisor Ni Jin to come to have an audience." Seeing the people standing at the door, Gong Changqin's slightly obese body quickly bowed and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Shu and the left and right supervisors all saluted and paid homage.

"Come in." A voice came from the room, but it was not Xie Zhen's voice that Chen Shu was familiar with.

Gong Changqin hesitated for a moment, seeing that no one gave any orders, he had no choice but to get up and enter the hall.Chen Shu followed into the hall, and soon found that the person standing in the hall was wearing the clothes of a first-rank official. He was about fifty years old, and his appearance and skin were well maintained. This man should have been a handsome man when he was young.

The voice just now came from this man's direction, and combined with this man's grade, this man should be Fang Shougan, the assistant minister of the Li Dynasty and the current prime minister.

Fang Shouqian stood beside a table, and there was another man sitting in front of the table. He was wearing a spacious dragon robe embroidered with gold, with a black bottom shirt inside, and the dark pattern was also surrounded by coiled dragons. He was wearing a crown, After seeing Tingwei leading the people in, the twelve prongs hanging from the crown shook slightly, revealing the eyes that slowly raised up inside.

The eyes of the person who entered through the doorway quickly fell on the young official in soap clothes who kowtowed silently.

Seemingly aware that his eyes were falling, Chen Shu raised his eyes to look at Xie Zhen, but did not speak. He quickly withdrew his eyes, saluted, and then stood behind Ting Wei with downcast eyes.

Fang Shouqian turned his back to Xie Zhen, but he didn't notice Xie Zhen's eyes. He looked at the four Tingwei who were coming, and settled on Lin Chenshu slightly, and said, "Master Gong, this time I will announce your Tingwei into the palace." , you should know what it is for, right?"

The prime minister's voice was slow and slow, and it was very clear in the hall.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty, I have learned about the Minister of Officials this morning." The Prime Minister is now the biggest official in the court. When he asked the question at this time, Gong Changqin could only cup his hands and said: "The Minister of Officials is the pillar of our dynasty. I heard this It was a shock when it happened.”

"..." After Gong Changqin's official words came down, Fang Shouqian sneered and said, "Master Tingwei, you are in charge of cases above the third-rank officials, and you have led people to solve such major cases as Taiwei Qi. This Liang Fengyuan What do you think of the case? Do you have any clues?"

"Liang Shangshu's death is strange. Ting Wei's people have gone to the scene to check and are still sorting out clues." Gong Changqin said.

"Oh? Liang Fengyuan has served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials for ten years, and has always been my right-hand man. His death will undoubtedly cut off my left and right hands." Fang Shouqian said slowly, "This matter has far-reaching consequences, and you Tingwei must not neglect it. "

"How dare I." Gong Changqin said immediately.

"Then you Ting Wei, tell me, what clues have you found now?" Fang Shouqian said.

The prime minister in the hall kept asking questions, his voice was clearly visible, he was very powerful at the moment, Gong Changqin was sweating down his back, and glanced at the emperor on the table.

But he realized that Zhen Twelve's face was calm, and he didn't show any expression. Behind the shaking beads, his eyes seemed to be vaguely looking at their Ting Wei, but they couldn't see clearly.

Someone from Ting Wei's office had already stood up and spoke for him: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, the next official and the Zuo Jian went to the Liang Mansion together and found that everyone in the Liang Mansion died of poisoning. There was a cook who escaped from the mansion, but was salvaged from the river outside Beijing. , died at Yezi, the specific circumstances are still under investigation, but according to my guess, someone may have secretly instructed the cook to poison the cook, and then kill him to keep his mouth shut."

"Are there any suspects?" the Prime Minister asked.

This case just happened this morning, and it has not been handed over to Ting Wei, how can it be solved so quickly.Ni Jin fell silent for a moment, but couldn't help looking at Ting Wei Shaoqing standing in front of him, hesitant to speak.

The prime minister followed his gaze, and said with a cold expression on his face: "Speaking of which, some of you court lieutenants have had grievances with the Liang family, right? name."

"..." Liang Fengyuan sued Xie Zhen because of his son's affairs, and the prime minister knew it was not unusual.Chen Shu raised his eyes and looked at Fang Shougan.

Shao Yuping, who was behind Ting Wei, lowered his head, but his eyes crossed with Ni Jin's sideways, and they both saw a hint of mockery hidden in the other's eyes.

Gong Changqin frowned, and was about to speak, but saw Fang Shougan's reluctance, and suddenly cupped his hands to Xie Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, Liang Fengyuan seldom makes enemies with others, and his son is just a bit of a dandy, but recently he had an affair with him." Lin Chenshu was the only one in the conflict."

Xie Zhen had been sitting in front of the case without speaking. Seeing Fang Shouqian talking to him at this moment, his eyes finally moved away from Chen Shu.

"So what?" Xie Zhen asked.

Fang Shouqian laughed, turned to Lin Chenshu and asked, "Lin Chenshu, let me ask you, where did you go last night?"

Midnight is the time when most people have already fallen asleep. How can there be witnesses if they go to bed alone?

Is Fang Shougan deliberately making things difficult for him?

Chen Shu frowned and said nothing.

Shao Yuping and Ni Jin asked this question just now, and Lin Chenshu couldn't give an answer.At this moment, Lin Chenshu was questioned, but both of them felt a little joy in their hearts.

"Lin Chenshu, why didn't you answer?" Fang Xiang saw that Lin Chenshu couldn't answer, and sure enough, his words became cold again.

After he asked a question, the scene fell into silence, and there was still no sound.

Seeing this, the left and right supervisors secretly waited for Fang Shouqian to deal with Lin Chenshu, but suddenly heard a cold and steady voice in his ear.

"Fang Xiang, you are making things difficult for Lin Aiqing." The voice came from the table on the front steps, and the speaker was the current emperor.

Is the emperor trying to rescue Lin Chenshu?

The faces of the left and right supervisors changed, and the prime minister also squinted his eyes, and turned to look in Xie Zhen's direction.

However, the next moment, they heard a voice that surprised them even more.

"Last night at noon, I was with Lin Aiqing."

Xie Zhen glanced at everyone present.

"?!"

The emperor and Lin Chenshu are together?

The left and right supervisors, the prime minister, and Gong Changqin were all taken aback.

Chen Shu was also taken aback, raised his lowered eyes slightly, and looked at Xie Zhen in surprise.

Not many people would know about Xie Zhen leaving the palace. Chen Shu didn't expect Xie Zhen to speak out by himself.He looked at the emperor in front of him, and saw him sitting upright by the table. The posture of sitting upright didn't seem so rigid. The corners of the man's lips were slightly raised, and under the twelve-fold white jade beads, his eyes seemed to be slightly closed. After a while, she opened it to him again, and said with a smile, "Lin Aiqing, do you think so?"

"..." Chen Shu looked at Xie Zhen's face in astonishment, but felt his heart skip a beat for no reason.

Then, he immediately lowered his eyebrows.

"Yes." he replied.

Ting Wei, left and right supervisors, and prime minister: "..."

It's so late, what are the emperor and Lin Chenshu doing together?

Gong Changqin's face quickly showed a strange color, Shao Yuping and Ni Jin looked at each other, and they both saw the puzzlement and shock in each other's eyes, but Fang Shouqian frowned, looking back and forth between Xie Zhen and Lin Chenshu. wandering between.

"Fang Xiang, do you have anything else to ask Lin Aiqing?" Before Fang Shouqian continued to make things difficult, Xie Zhen said again, "If it comes to the death of the cook, I can make sure that Lin Chenshu is not the murderer."

Fang Shouqian: "..."

Chen Shu: "..."

The emperor defended Lin Chenshu so much, Shao Yuping and Ni Jin secretly looked at Lin Chenshu in front of him, the shock slowly turned into incomprehension.

Xie Zhen defended Lin Chenshu, Fang Shouqian had to give up, and said to Xie Zhen: "Your Majesty, Liang Fengyuan happened in the capital, and it is another case of extermination, which affects the dignity of our court officials. I believe that this case must be solved as soon as possible. "

Xie Zhen frowned.

"In another half a month, the emperor will go to Chengshan to worship the ancestors. This matter should not be delayed any longer." Fang Shouqian said again, "Master Gong, when this case is handed over to your official office, there must be an explanation within half a month."

Gong Changqin bit the bullet and said, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty, you should lead the court officers to do your best."

"If this case can't be solved, I think Tingwei should reorganize it." Fang Shouqian said.

Ting Wei, left and right supervisors: "..."

Shao Yuping and Ni Jin suddenly felt the pressure. It was not the first day for them to investigate a case. They thought that so many people had died in Liang Fengyuan's case, and the cook's clues had been cut off. I'm afraid it would be difficult to close the case for a while.

The prime minister's words are equivalent to a death order. If Liang Fengyuan's case cannot be solved within half a month, all the officials in the Ting Wei office present will have to be replaced.

The two of them have average backstage backgrounds, and it's not easy to be in this position now, if they are demoted because of this...

Shao Yuping gritted his teeth secretly, looked at Lin Chenshu in front of him, but saw Ting Wei Shaoqing in front of him calmly, and he didn't look worried at all.

——He is an airborne official and is covered by the emperor, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Both Shao Yuping and Ni Jin thought in unison.But thinking of this, the emperor sitting in front spoke again.

"Lin Aiqing doesn't need to participate in this matter. Although Aiqing has my testimony, the prime minister suspects this case and should avoid suspicion. Captain Gong Ting, I need to trouble you to investigate the case, and return Lin Chenshu's innocence," the emperor said. road.

The three court officials and the prime minister: "..."

Chen Shu: "..."

Shao Yuping and Ni Jin vomited blood when they heard this.

The two court lieutenants, left and right supervisors realized that they seemed to be thinking too simply just now - Lin Chenshu didn't need to worry about his official position, with the emperor covering him, this Buddha didn't need to go through this muddy water at all.

Why is it that Lin Chenshu is so idle in the official office every day, why is he so angry, why is Lin Chenshu robbed their official positions, why are they disliked Lin Chenshu... In fact, the emperor specially arranged to come here to enjoy this idle job!

But why should he enjoy such treatment? !

The left and right supervisors frowned, dissatisfied in their hearts, but they did not dare to make a sound in front of the emperor.

Gong Changqin turned his head, glanced at the handsome Lin Chenshu behind him, sighed in his heart, and was about to turn around and say yes.

However, Lin Chenshu's brows suddenly frowned at this time, and he looked up at Xie Zhen for a moment, and then stepped out from behind Tingwei.

What is he going to do?Gong Changqin was taken aback.

However, Lin Chenshu had bowed his hands in obeisance, and his Qingyue voice sounded clearly in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the circumstances of this case are complicated. Although I have had conflicts with Liang Du, those who clear the matter will clear themselves." Chen Shu said, "I also ask the emperor to give this minister a chance."
