Early the next morning, the air was still a little humid.Last night, the rain was drooping and the wind was blowing down a pool of clear lotus. The dripping of dew startled the roosting egrets, and their wings fluttered lightly.

The bedroom doors and windows are closed, making it difficult to see the spring scenery.

Du Lingchun had been entangled with Gongsun Zhuoyu last night, he was very sleepy, he couldn't help sleeping for a while, and only woke up at a later time.He opened his eyes in a daze, only to see Gongsun Zhuoyu looking at him with his head propped up, he was stunned for a moment before remembering what happened last night.

Du Lingchun covered his eyes with the back of his hand, and his ears felt slightly warm.

Seeing that he was awake, Gongsun Zhuoyu narrowed his eyes with a smile.Pulling Du Lingchun into his arms, he buried his face in his neck and kissed him: "The company won't sleep anymore?"

Du Lingchun didn't speak, just touched his face lightly, thinking of what happened last night, he still felt unreal like a dream.But the joy left in my mind cannot be faked, and there is still some unspeakable pain behind me,

Seeing him in a daze, Gongsun Zhuoyu called out, "Sigong?"

Du Lingchun called him stupid in his heart.Supporting his head, he traced his handsome eyebrows and eyes with his fingertips, his feminine voice was a little hoarse, with a kind of laziness afterwards: "Fool, why do you still call my company?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu pinched his fingertips, bit them lightly, and said to himself: "I like to shout like that."

Du Lingchun yelled if he wanted to, it wasn't a big deal.He didn't have the habit of sleeping late, but today it was rare for him to lie quietly in Gongsun Zhuoyu's arms.A barren heart, once filled with no amount of gold, silver and power, suddenly became full at this moment.

Du Lingchun closed his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Do you still remember what you said yesterday?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu was studying Du Lingchun's hair, and he hummed in confusion when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"

Du Lingchun opened his eyes quickly, and looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu calmly, with a dangerous tone: "Did you forget?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu came to his senses, and then hugged him as usual: "Of course I haven't forgotten, what I said to the company will always count."

Du Lingchun's originally tightened heart relaxed slightly, and then he pursed his lips again.I thought to myself what's wrong with me, even if I was sensitive and suspicious in the past, it wouldn't be where I am now.

Seeing that it was already noon, he simply got up and dressed.It's just that the red marks on the neck can't be covered up, it's inevitable to look weird and a little uncomfortable.

Gongsun Zhuoyu could only get up after seeing this.On the other hand, he was much more generous, and directly exposed the hickey outside. Seeing that Du Lingchun had been pulling his collar, he pulled his hand off and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, the company? People can see it. I just thought we went to the Qinglou Chuguan to drink flower wine."

Du Lingchun looked at him: "Little bastard, you can go to that kind of fireworks place, why can't I go?"

Everyone in the capital knew that he was an eunuch, and it was impossible for Du Lingchun to go to the brothel.

Gongsun Zhuoyu kissed his neck, blushed and said in a low voice: "Then just tell them that I kissed you."

Du Lingchun pushed him twice, but found that it was like a rice cake, and he couldn't push it away. He pinched the other's chin resting on his shoulder and said, "You look like a girl."

Always shy and alone.

Du Lingchun's eyelashes were as thick as a crow's feathers, his complexion was fair and fair, and his profile was handsome but feminine. Looking sideways at this moment, he was dressed in red and showed a thick beauty.Gongsun Zhuoyu's chin was picked up by his fingertips, his face turned redder uncontrollably, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Du Lingchun: "..."

Fool……

Du Lingchun let go of him slowly, startled and wanted to laugh again, before he could say anything, there was a slight knock on the door outside: "Company."

Du Lingchun subconsciously looked towards the door, frowning slightly: "What's the matter?"

The people outside said: "Your Majesty sent Eunuch Hou to send a message, saying that Lord Gongsun has arrested the murderer and brought him to the palace immediately."

Although the emperor lives in the palace, he also has eyes and ears outside.On the day Gongsun Zhuoyu went to Luohua Hutong, he did not hide it. Many people saw him tie up a girl and came out. Maybe someone saw it and spread it to the emperor's ears.

Gongsun Zhuoyu looked at Du Lingchun subconsciously: "Sigong, what should I do?"

Du Lingchun straightened his collar for him, he didn't look in any hurry, he said casually: "Since you have found out the real culprit, what are you afraid of, just bring the prisoner into the palace, and I will go with you."

At the same time, he reckoned in his heart that Gongsun Zhuoyu's position as Jing Zhaoyin was already assured.

Gongsun Zhuoyu hasn't figured out how to get Mo Jingxian out of the murder case: "But..."

Du Lingchun knew what he was hesitating at a glance, and whispered meaningfully: "Now that you have entered the officialdom, what are those bad intentions doing? Turn around and let my sister speak a few words before your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin The position must be yours, don't worry about the others, huh?"

Promotion is a good thing, Gongsun Zhuoyu likes to be promoted the most, Wen Yanle beamed and said, "Okay."

Seeing him happy, Du Lingchun was naturally happy too, and smiled: "Let's go, we will enter the palace after lunch."

This case is related to the lives of court officials, and the emperor paid much more attention to it than Gongsun Zhuoyu imagined. When he stepped into the Tai Chi Hall, he found that all the important officials at the center of the court were there, and stomping his feet would shake the capital twice.

The emperor sits high above, although he seldom gets angry, he still has an air of authority without anger: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, someone said that you captured the murderer yesterday, is it true?"

The news has already spread, and it must be true if it is not true.

Gongsun Zhuoyu cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the murderer has indeed been captured."

Du Lingchun and the rest of the courtiers lined up on the side. Hearing the words, he waved his sleeves calmly. Immediately, someone escorted Ye Wuhen and Mo Jingxian, who were seriously injured, into the main hall, and pressed them to kneel on the ground.

For a moment, all the ministers focused their attention on the two young and unfamiliar faces, with different expressions. It was hard to believe that they were responsible for the four murders, and they discussed in low voices.

The emperor frowned: "Why are there still women?"

Tang Feishuang stood beside Prime Minister Yan Fu and looked over.He got permission from His Majesty to come here to hear the trial.

Speaking is an art. Saying this way may arouse the anger of others, and saying that way may arouse the sympathy of others. It all depends on how the speaker handles it.

Gongsun Zhuoyu pondered over his words before saying: "Your Majesty, this girl's name is Mo Jingxian, and she is the daughter of General Longxiang Mo Yanwu. When the late Emperor was in power, Mo Yanwu was ordered to lead the army to go out. The enemy army was fighting hard by the Zhenjiang River, but Dong Qianli, Guo Han and the other four embezzled the army's salary and deceived their superiors and subordinates, so that the food and grass were delayed..."

He suddenly brought up the past, and the courtiers couldn't help but look at each other. Mo Jingxian's body trembled slightly, and she closed her eyes in pain.

Gongsun Zhuoyu paused for a moment, and then continued: "The sky is covered with snow, the cold air hits the bones, and the food and grass are exhausted. It is expected that it will be difficult for the gods to win the battle in such a situation. Mo Yanwu died in the battle. This battle was defeated by the enemy. The first emperor At the beginning, she was deceived by the villain, and in a fit of rage, she beheaded the entire Mo family, and because Mo Jingxian was underage, she was lucky enough to escape, but who would have thought that she would be filled into the Jiaofang Secretary."

For some reason, the emperor frowned and clenched the armrest tightly.There are those who watch the courtiers watching the excitement, those who are indifferent, and those who sigh.

When it was the turn of the crimes committed by the two of them, Gongsun Zhuoyu deliberately mentioned it briefly: "The murderer's name is Ye Wuhen, and he is a knight-errant. Jiaofang Secretary, and killed four people for her. They are Dong Qianli, Guo Han, Chu Lianjiang, and Baiqiu."

As Gongsun Zhuoyu said, he took out four pieces of poetry paper: "When Wei Chen investigated the case, he found that the poems he sent to the murderer were all torn from a volume called "Miscellaneous Poems". It was a new book, so I investigated and visited major bookstores to see which shopkeepers had bought such books recently. Finally, I found that he had bought books in one of the bookstores, and was seen by the shopkeeper walking into Luohua Hutong. After checking all the way, he was arrested."

Gongsun Zhuoyu actually wanted to use a little "exaggerated" rhetorical technique to show how hard he worked and how hard he worked to find the real culprit, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Ye Wuhen and Mo Jingxian knelt in the hall from beginning to end, not saying a word, not as quiet as a murderer with blood on their hands.

The emperor probably didn't expect that there was such a secret behind this case, his face changed slightly, he looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu, and asked in a low voice: "How do you know that Dong Qianli and the others embezzled the military salary, and it was not the murderer's sophistry?" Word?"

This Gongsun Zhuoyu had already prepared, he took out a pamphlet from his sleeve, and handed it to the imperial eunuch: "When I was collecting evidence, I searched the homes of these four people, and finally found that there were hidden compartments. They hid the ledgers of their corruption and dealings."

Corruption of military pay is not something that can be done by one person, there must be many people secretly operating, and in order to ensure fairness and credibility when distributing the spoils, they will record the accounts to ensure that they will not take too much for personal gain.The ancient mechanism is not considered clever, Gongsun Zhuoyu casually turned the vase in the study of Dong Qianli and others, and found the hidden compartment by knocking on the floor tiles.

The emperor took the account book with a gloomy face, flipped through a few pages, and was so angry that his temples throbbed. He threw the account book out with a slam, and slammed the table: "Bastard! The army is climbing the ice and lying on the snow in front. In order to save the treasury Expenditures are also reduced, and these moths are actually cheating, embezzling as much as 10 taels of silver, damn it!"

Seeing his anger, the courtiers knelt down in unison: "Your Majesty calm down—"

Gongsun Zhuoyu looked around and could only kneel down: "Your Majesty, calm down."

The little eunuch ran over in small steps, picked up the thrown account book, and placed it respectfully on the imperial case.

The emperor's chest fluctuated, and he suddenly found himself being distracted by Gongsun Zhuoyu, and said in a deep voice: "Even if they have a capital crime, the two criminals shouldn't have committed suicide privately, otherwise, what is the law of my King Daye?!"

When Mo Jingxian heard this, she bowed her head and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please punish me if you are convicted."

Ye Wuhen is from the rivers and lakes, he would not willingly bow down to an emperor, he quietly looked at Mo Jingxian's thin body, and couldn't help closing his eyes.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was about to intercede, when the prime minister, Yan Fu, suddenly came out and made a statement: "Your Majesty, although the murderer deserves death, the law is nothing more than human feelings. The Mo family was beheaded back then. Dozens of people died so innocently, and General Mo went to war. On the battlefield, I also made great military exploits for Daye, I implore Your Majesty to be merciful, and leave the blood of the Mo family."

Many veterans in the court were officials in the same dynasty as Mo Yanwu, and many military generals also appeared to intercede: "I implore Your Majesty to be merciful."

Gongsun Zhuoyu paused, and said: "Please show mercy, Your Majesty."

Du Lingchun frowned secretly.

Du Lingchun's party and Yan Fu's party have always been at odds. No matter what one party wants to do, the other party will jump out and oppose it desperately. This has become a tacit fact.

Seeing that Yan Fu and the others were pleading, the officials of Du Lingchun's party habitually jumped out and yelled: "Your Majesty, although Dong Qianli and the others deserve to die, they should not seek revenge in private anyway. If you open this A precedent, how to govern the country in the future, won't it be practical?"

He came out to act like a good boy, but who would have thought that Du Lingchun would turn around and give him a gouging look.
