Omi had to sit up

Before yesterday, Xie Zhen didn't allow him to investigate the case.

Chen Shu was in a daze, and his thoughts seemed to return to the city river under the moonlight in the capital.

Inadvertently, his hand has clenched the account.

"Huh? Could it be that Mr. Qin is really from Yunyue Pavilion in Fengzhong? He even knows about the court?!" But Duobu's surprised voice came from his ear.

"..." Chen Shumo looked at Xie Zhen's expression.

Xie Zhen couldn't show his anger and emotion, and he didn't admit or deny it, and looked at Robe Bone lightly.

Robber Bone immediately shrank his head.

This is much more harmonious than last time.Chen Shu hastily coughed dryly, interrupting the awkward atmosphere between the two of them: "There should be other secrets in the things recorded in this book, Robber, did you find something strange when you wrote it silently?"

Robber Gu is the only person who has read this book except Liang Fengyuan and Fang Shouqian. Right now, all the folded paper is in his hands. When he saw Chen Shu's question, he said again: "The above records are the names of these people, and I don't know them. How would they know what's wrong?"

"But..." At this point, Robber suddenly paused, saw the eyes of the two people present, and ran to the desk carefully to get a pen, approached Chen Shu, and gently wiped the name on the notebook. a sum.

The color of Danzhu on the pen, the name erased is Peng Youchao's black characters.

"Liang Fengyuan's notebook also has such underlines?" Chen Shu was taken aback.

Robber picks up the pen and nods: "There are still several names in his accounts that have been erased like this. At first I thought you wanted to see who these corrupt officials are, so I didn't write them down."

Chen Shu frowned looking at Peng Youchao's name.

The case of Qingshan was solved. When he returned to the capital from Changfeng Villa, he saw that the officials in Qingshan, including Peng Youchao, were released and exiled. Does the underline mean that the person who bought the official has been dismissed or is not here? meaning?

If this is the case, then Liang Fengyuan's account is really detailed, and the year and month are not marked on it.

Chen Shu was vigilant in his heart, and handed the book to Bandit Gu again: "What other names are underlined?"

"I knew you would definitely need me, so I stayed here to help you solve the case." Bone Robber Han Heng said with the ledger in his mouth, "You don't look at the credit but also at the hard work, so you can't tie me up."

Chen Shu nodded and said, "You stole Cen Yuqin's bracelet, right? You should have gone outside to see it, and you know that my house is the safest, so you chose to come back again, didn't you?"

Robber bone: "..." Why did Lin Chenshu pierce the window paper? !

Han Heng was silent.When he unlocked the lock, he really wanted to take out Chen Shu's claws, but after leaving the Lin Mansion, he found that there were many more people in the Jianghu in Beijing, and many of them were people he had offended before, and Fang Shouqian was hunting him all the way .

As a result, Robber left the Lin residence, and found that he had few places to live in peace.

It's better to avoid the limelight in the Lin Mansion. Although Lin Chenshu is bad, he saved his life anyway, and he is an official ordered by the court. Fang Shougan will not suspect him for a while.

So Robbone went back to the house angrily, and happened to see a gorgeous woman showing off her bracelet from time to time on the road...

"Oh, this is what the master bought from Yushan a few days ago, and it will be tributed to the palace in the future."

"It costs a hundred taels of silver."

"Tsk, the wives of the other family say they are pretty, and usually these officials' wives don't look good."

"..." Someone like Lin Chenshu would have such a little girl.

The Lin Mansion should also be quite fun, as long as it is not locked.Thief Bone thought to himself.

But who knows, he just stole Cen Yuqin's bracelet and he hasn't been chic for a day, Lin Chenshu left and returned, and brought "Mr. Qin" who often cares about Lin's mansion.

Robber bone sighed silently, had no choice but to write his names on the edge of the table while recalling, he turned the page, stopped writing suddenly, and crossed out one of the names.

At this moment, Xie Zhen, who was watching from the side, frowned suddenly.

"Young Master Qin, do you recognize this person?" The name above was not familiar to Chen Shu, but Xie Zhen is the emperor, so he should recognize more names than him.

Hearing Chen Shu's question, Xie Zhen quickly said "Yes": "He used to be the head of the dining room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I sent someone to collect the corpse."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in the palace, but the head of the dining room in the palace is actually in this book of accepting bribes?

How powerful are Fang Shouqian and Liang Fengyuan?

"He's dead?" Chen Shu said in shock, "How did he die?"

"He poisoned the meal, and I found out on the spot, but he committed suicide by taking poison." Xie Zhendao, "I wanted to investigate this matter, but his family has been wiped out, so I started from the source of the poison and ordered Lu Qi to kill himself." Track down the whereabouts of Tou Dusheng."

...It turns out that this is the real reason why Xie Zhen wants to catch the tormented students.

"Did Fang Shouqian do it?" Chen Shu immediately realized.

The method of murder and silence also appeared in the case of the Liang Mansion. He knew that the cook of the Liang Mansion was Chi Liang sent by Fang Shouqian.

"It's him." Xie Zhen said, "It's a pity that he destroyed the corpse too quickly and there is not enough evidence."

Chen Shu was terrified, and suddenly remembered what Li Yezhi had said to him before. He didn't expect Fang Shouqian to kill the king.

Xie Zhen wants to arrest Tu Dusheng, mostly to grasp Fang Shouqian's criminal evidence, but now Lu Qi's whereabouts are unknown.And he also messed up his plan because of the appearance of Tu Dusheng, so he didn't catch Chi Liang.

Now that the snake has been startled, if Chi Liang returns to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he will definitely be on guard. It is unlikely that he will be fooled as easily as last time.

Chen Shu thought quickly, and suddenly remembered something. He frowned and said, "Wait, Mr. Qin, did you say that the late emperor was implementing a new policy to curb official corruption, but in the end he couldn't do it because of his death? Could there be something strange about this? ?”

"Strange? You mean..." Xie Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then frowned.

"Tu Dusheng once told me that he and Fang Shouqian have dealt with each other many times. Fang Shouqian likes to kill people with invisible poison. If he dares to send someone to plot against you, even the late emperor will..."

The first emperor died suddenly, and the concubines in the palace were buried. Afterwards, various factions fought. It was not until Qi Yanchu found Xie Zhen that he re-established the emperor.

Chen Shu didn't go any further when he said this, but everyone in the room understood.Robber bone got goosebumps when he heard the words, and quickly retorted: "How is that possible? Fang Shouqian's murder of the late emperor is a crime of regicide, and he is still the late emperor's brother-in-law. Even if he refuses to accept it, how could he do such a rebellious thing?"

"Uncle?" Chen Shu was at a loss.

"You don't even know about this, do you?" Robber bone coughed dryly, and began to mutter, "This has been rumored in Jianghu for a long time. Didn't the first emperor rely on Qin Shuanghan's key to ascend to power, but he married later? She is Fang Shouqian's younger sister. Fang Shouqian is the prince's uncle, and before the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been supporting the former prince as emperor."

"..."

Chen Shu was startled. He subconsciously looked at Xie Zhen when he heard Qin Shuanghan, but realized that Zhen Zhen had no expression on his face, just lowered his eyes lightly, then nodded and said: "There are indeed doubts about the death of the first emperor. If Fang Shouqian did it , this crime is enough to kill him all over the house."

"This is probably the secret in this book." Chen Shu said.

Fang Shougan's power shouldn't be afraid of a book about accepting bribes, but if it involves the killing of the king in the past, the nature is different.

Chen Shu looked at the names crossed out by Robber Bone again: "I'm afraid the people crossed out here are the key, but it's a pity that we only know the names of the people, and don't know what their official positions are."

"I'll send someone to the Ministry of Officials to obtain the list for you."

"..."

Chen Shu was stunned, and looked up at Xie Zhen. Sure enough, he saw the coachman waiting outside, and he ordered a few words, and the coachman quickly retreated.

Xie Zhen is the emperor, and with him, Chen Shu will be spared a lot of trouble.

But Chang Ming came here to help Xie Zhen, what is this now?Xie Zhen turned around to help him investigate the case?

Chen Shu lowered his eyebrows and was speechless for a while.

Robber bone sat next to him and found that he could not understand the conversation between the two more and more.

In the end, it was Uncle Liu who knocked on the door to deliver the meal, which broke Chen Shu's silence.

It is rare for the young master to order food in his own dining room, and he has friends brought in from outside. This time, Uncle Liu not only brought over the porridge that Chen Shu usually drank, but also served a whole big roast chicken and several A small stir-fry with a tangy aroma that makes people's index fingers move.Robber Gu hid aside and watched the food enter the door, and couldn't help swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva.

It's a pity that "Master Qin" was there, he didn't dare to get too close to the roast chicken, so he could only stand by and watch Chen Shu and Xie Zhen finish eating.

Chen Shu usually drank porridge, probably because he felt that the roast chicken was greasy, so he only picked up his chopsticks once and didn't move again.Xie Zhen sat next to Chen Shu and drank porridge with Chen Shu. He said it was for eating, but most of his eyes fell on Chen Shu.

After the two had finished their meal, the people sent by Xie Zhen had sent a list of official records, ranging from the local county government to the internal affairs of the palace.

Seeing this, Chen Shu immediately began to compare the crossed out names one by one.

He flipped through the pages of the book very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance, as if he was very proficient, but within half an hour, he had already compared several names.Some of these crossed out names are no longer officials, while others have passed away just like the kitchen manager Xie Zhen said before.

In this batch of lists, Chen Shu quickly listed a list of officials from two years ago. In addition to high-ranking officials, this list also includes the manager of the poisoned kitchen and the imperial guard who Xie Zhen had met before. Medical two distinctive lists.

Chen Shu checked it again, and handed the list to Xie Zhendao: "Fang Shouqian's murder of the king should be true. He is probably afraid of this list. There may be evidence in it that he did not destroy. Now just follow this If you search the list, you may be able to find clues."

At that time, Liang Fengyuan probably didn't expect that the list of bribery accounts he made casually as the minister of the Ministry of officials would be involved in the previous major case.

Xie Zhen read the list: "Are you going to check it later?"

"..." Chen Shu, who was guessed by Xie Zhen, was embarrassed.

Xie Zhen took his own sword: "I will accompany you."

"..." Xie Zhen's tone was indifferent, and there was no room for him to refuse.

With Robber's bone around, Chen Shu couldn't persuade Xie Zhen with the courtesy of a monarch and minister, so he had to rearrange the materials in his hand and put them away, and then told Robber's bone a few words.

Robber bone heard that Chen Shu asked him to guard the account book, nodded, but his mind was on the roast chicken on the table, and he was very happy.

God is so pitiful, the day Lin Chenshu disappeared, he was hungry for a whole day, ran to the kitchen of Lin's mansion and only got a few steamed buns that he detested most to fill his stomach.And now this roast chicken is simply saving his appetite.

He quickly agreed to Chen Shu, and vowed that he would not run anywhere.

Only then did Chen Shu and Xie Zhen leave the room together. Seeing the two leaving, Uncle Liu hurried to the door of the backyard, and politely said to Xie Zhen, "Mr. Qin will come again next time" Yunyun.

Xie Zhen just nodded in agreement, and walked on the street with Chen Shu.

When the sun was shining, most people in the neighborhood had already started to avoid the heat, and few people were seen on the street. Chen Shu walked beside Xie Zhen, but he felt the cool snow on Xie Zhen's body, and didn't feel much heat.

He and Xie Zhen walked side by side, and there was no robber bone at this time. Chen Shu finally said what he hadn't said before: "Mr. Qin, please don't take those rumors in the rivers and lakes to heart."

The story about Qin Shuanghan mentioned by Robber has been circulated in Jianghu for a long time, and it is also the topic of everyone's after-dinner conversation. As a person in Jianghu, Xie Zhen has probably heard of it a lot.

Just then Daogu blurted out, although Xie Zhen didn't respond, but Chen Shu couldn't grasp what Xie Zhen was thinking.

But now the case they are investigating is the matter of Emperor Xian, who is also Xie Zhen's father.

Chen Shu walked with Xie Zhen while thinking, but saw that Xie Zhen's footsteps around him paused.

Then there was a soft smile in his ear: "Are you concerned about me? How could you talk about this?"
