How do treacherous courtiers with love brain save themselves

Wu Zuo packed up his tools and went to a side room of Dali Temple with Mr. Gao.

"Lord Gao, this kind of poison should not be owned by our Holy Gold Kingdom. I just heard a colleague say that there is a kind of poison in the world. I guess it might be what he said."

With his hands behind his back, Mr. Gao paced back and forth in the small room, asking as he walked, "Does that colleague know the name and source of this poison?"

Wu Zuo replied: "I remember he once said that this poison is called Cunxin, and it comes from the neighboring country of Shengjin Kingdom, Qin Weiguo. If Mr. Gao needs it, I can invite that colleague to Dali Temple tomorrow. Your Excellency will know immediately if you ask." .”

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to run for a while. It's getting late, you should go back and rest first. And..."

Wu Zuo knew it clearly, "Don't worry, my lord. I won't say a word about the old Shangshu's inspection when I leave Dali Temple."

"Well, it's work."

Qin Weiguo?

Mr. Gao stood alone in the side room for a long time, his long jet-black hair was blown by the night wind and fluttered with his clothes, completely unaware.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound on the eaves.

Before Mr. Gao ordered, the guards on duty in the courtyard had already set foot on the pillars in the courtyard, jumped onto the roof, and started a chase battle with the uninvited guest.

Master Gao frowned slightly, Dali Temple has never had a night out in the past few years, how could there be such a person who is not afraid of death today, dare to take such a big risk to visit Dali Temple at night.

This further proves that there are many things involved in the cause of Lao Shangshu's death.

At this moment, Mr. Gao misses Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice a little bit.

If he was also here, I'm afraid there would have been some clues, and it wouldn't be such a headache.

As far as investigating the case is concerned, he admires the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments from the bottom of his heart.

They have also jointly handled several major cases, Mr. Gao still looks forward to the resolute action of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Most importantly, if he was in the Ministry of Punishment now, the person who sneaked up on the eaves would definitely not be escaped by him.

Mr. Gao was so worried that he didn't sleep all night.

Until the next day, Wu Zuo brought a handsome young man and knelt in front of the Dali Temple's lobby.

This is the work that knows the heart.

Mr. Gao questioned carefully for a long time, not only was shocked by Cun Xin's viciousness, but also curious about its origin.

"My lord, this Cun Xin only came to the capital in the last year, and I met the small one by chance, so I paid more attention to it."

"Well, where did you meet?"

"Go back to my lord, Jufeng Tower."

Good guy, the people who go in and out there are either high-ranking officials or noble people, how to start.

The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, and none of the major events that happened one after another made him feel comfortable, so he was not so active in scheduling, appointing and dismissing some officials, and handed over the full power to Bai Yuhui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

As long as there are no senior officials above the third grade involved, there is no need to appeal, and they can be appointed first and then report back.

Bai Yuhui's task in the past was to select good candidates and submit them to the Emperor Dao for his final decision.

As soon as the emperor was lazy, Bai Yuhui's work doubled immediately.

At this time, there was a pile of files on his desk that were taller than a pen holder, waiting for him to check them one by one.

When the chief guard of Dali Temple entered the door, Bai Yuhui thought that his subordinates had come to deliver him a new file, so he said without raising his head, "Put it on the table and get out."

The leader of the guard saluted respectfully, and said: "I am under the order of Dali Temple Minister Gao Gao, please Bai Shangshu to go with me, and please cooperate with me."

Bai Yuhui was startled when he heard the sound.

Also stunned was Lieutenant Li who came to visit with a banana in his mouth.

"What? Dali Temple summoned Bai Shangshu? Are you sure you heard it right? Why did you pass him on?"

The head of the guards continued to respectfully said: "Please move, my lord."

After Bai Yuhui finished annotating the last stroke, he straightened his pen and ink, closed the file, got up and straightened his wrinkled clothes, walked out of the desk, and said, "Please lead the way."

Lieutenant Li stuffed half of a banana into his mouth, puffed his cheeks and grabbed Bai Yuhui's sleeve: "Brother Bai, don't you argue? Just leave like this?"

Bai Yuhui comforted: "It's okay, just ask some questions. Dali Temple is the same as your Ministry of Punishment. It's not a place to mess around. Don't worry."

Yes, go to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

Lieutenant Li blinked, patted the back of Bai Yuhui's hand, and said, "That's right, our Criminal Department has always been law-abiding and self-disciplined. Of course, their Dali Temple is not far behind. You just have to tell the truth."

Bai Yuhui stepped out of the official department, and Lieutenant Li ran back to the criminal department with oil on his feet.

Before the person entered, he had already yelled: "My lord, it's not good! Bai Shangshu was passed away by Dali Temple!"

The threshold of the Ministry of Punishment is half an inch higher than other departments, especially for those who don't have a good eye.

For example, Lieutenant Li lying on the ground and screaming.

Getting up from the ground, Li Fuguan realized clearly that the person sitting at the top was not their minister of punishment, but... Prime Minister Zuo.

Adjutant Li, who has always been unruly, always feels that Prime Minister Zuo is going to eat him every time he sees him.

Although their Ministry of Punishment is Prime Minister Zuo's right-hand man, Adjutant Li's awe of Prime Minister Zuo has never diminished.

Hurry up and salute, and report word by word: "Back to the Prime Minister, the official heard that Bai Shangshu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was summoned by Dali Temple to Dali Temple. He is about to come back and inform us, Lord Minister, so that we can make plans."

Prime Minister Zuo leaned back on the chair, his eyes were slightly closed, and the beads in his hand kept rolling.

After a while, Prime Minister Zuo's majestic voice sounded: "Plan? What are your plans?"

Lieutenant Li was startled, and said with a guilty conscience: "Of course...take him out of Dali Temple as soon as possible."

"Hmph, nonsense. Both the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment serve the emperor. It's normal to summon a suspect, and you need to take care of it? Could it be that the temple of the Ministry of Punishment is too small to accommodate you, Adjutant Li?"

Lieutenant Li hastily knelt down to admit his mistake: "Your Excellency was joking. I don't mean that. I just think that Bai Shangshu is with us..."

Lieutenant Li wanted to say that he was also working for your prime minister, but when he raised his eyes and saw the beads in the prime minister's hand paused, he hurriedly changed his words, "I also serve for the emperor, and I want to help him, that's all, there is no other think."

Prime Minister Zuo threw the beads angrily and said, "I warn you, the Ministry of Punishment cannot participate in this matter, you have to remember it later."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice cupped his hands and said: "Yes."

Lieutenant Li knelt on the ground with his face covered.

Don't they belong together?

After the minister of punishment sent Prime Minister Zuo away and returned to the hall, he said to Adjutant Li who was still stuck: "Get up, everyone is gone, kneeling is useless."

"My lord, we really don't care about it? That's Bai Shangshu."

"You get up first. If Bai Shangshu is innocent, Dali Temple will naturally not embarrass him. If he is really suspected, no one can ignore it. You did this too, so do you need me to explain more about it?"

Lieutenant Li scratched the back of his head and got up from the ground, wondering: "What did Bai Shangshu do to be invited to Dali Temple?"

"Did you hear about the burial of the old Shangshu yesterday?"

Lieutenant Li nodded. Such a big event has been widely circulated for a long time, and everyone knows that Lao Shangshu may not have died of illness, and there may be other reasons, but what does this have to do with Bai Shangshu?

"Old Shangshu was found to have died of poison. And the poison came from Jufeng Tower."

……

Dali Temple wanted to summon the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so it was natural to say hello to the emperor. After all, he was not a young man, so he went through the procedures to avoid embarrassing everyone later.

Coincidentally, Prime Minister Zuo happened to be there when Lord Gao reported the crime, so he was the first to know about Bai Shangshu's suspicion of committing the crime besides Dali Temple and the emperor.

Prime Minister Zuo knew that the two people from the Ministry of Punishment had a good relationship with Bai Shangshu, and he was afraid that they would do something wrong in their will, so Prime Minister You sent someone to catch him and came to remind him.

Looking at it like this, it really came to the right place.

Lieutenant Li did not give up and asked Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, "How could there be poison in that Jufeng Building? We often go there to drink. If Bai Shangshu went there, he would be suspected, so would I. Whenever he ate wine, he didn't bring it with him." I?"

"Three nights ago, did you go to Jufeng Tower?" the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment asked coldly.

Lieutenant Li scratched his head and recalled for a long time, and said, "Not really."

"But someone saw Bai Shangshu go to Jufeng Tower, alone."
