The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

The head catcher was stunned, he looked at the corpse on the ground, and then at Gu Min, "Master Gu, this is..."

Gu Min interrupted him coldly: "Whose subordinates are you? Why are you here?"

The head catcher said: "If you go back to Lord Marquis, the younger ones will be under the supervision of Mr. Sun, the head of the criminal department. Recently, the case of the assassination of Liu Shilang from the official department was normally investigated. Mr. Sun received a secret letter not long ago. The person who wrote the letter said that he He knew the inside story of Liu Shilang's assassination, but he was afraid that he would be silenced if he showed up, so he wanted to ask the Yamen to send officials to protect him, that's why the little ones came here, but I didn't expect... Dare to ask Master Gu, what happened? What's going on?"

"The Marquis doesn't know what's going on." Gu Min turned around with his hands behind his back, but didn't see the few cronies he brought, and asked displeasedly, "Where are the people that the Marquis brought?"

The head catcher suddenly realized: "Those outside are the brothers of Jinyiwei, right? They didn't wear official uniforms, and the younger one thought they were some villains, so he asked his subordinates to arrest them first." He trotted outside, dancing with his hands and feet, " Hurry up! Let them go! Let them go! They are all our own people, brothers of Jin Yiwei, I'm sorry!"

Gu Min's cronies strode into the room cursingly, walked to Gu Min's side, saw Zhao Lin's body on the ground, and froze, "My lord..."

Gu Min gave them a wink to signal them not to talk too much. The confidantes understood that this was someone else's trap. The situation is unclear at this time, and more words are more mistakes. They should remain calm and respond to all changes with the same attitude.

The head catcher turned back, bowed his hands to Gu Min and saluted, pointing to Zhao Lin's corpse and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, Lord Gu, what's going on with this man on the ground?"

Gu Min said indifferently: "He should be the one who wrote to you for help."

"Then why..." Catcher faced a high-ranking official whose official position was unknown how many ranks higher than his own, inevitably lacking in confidence, swallowed his saliva, and said hesitantly, "Dare to ask Lord Gu and the deceased?"

"If Benhou said that he didn't know each other, would you believe it?" Gu Min twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically, "But since Benhou appeared at the scene of the crime, and the deceased accused Benhou of killing people before he died, then Benhou will be with you anyway. This case is irrelevant, and Ben Hou will cooperate with you in the investigation with the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

In the winter, the head catcher was covered with sweat, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you, Lord Gu, for his understanding of righteousness, and for being considerate of the little ones, then please move forward, Lord Gu." Back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you guys have to clean up the scene of the crime."

Gu Min shook his sleeves, walked out of the hut with his head held high, his cronies followed behind him and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you want us to go back and call some brothers over?"

"No need. People from the Ministry of Punishment still dare not do anything to Ben Hou." Gu Min calmly tore off a token from his waist and slipped it into the hands of his confidants, and ordered in a low voice, "Take the token and help Ben. Hou went to Zhuzhi Lane and entered the second house on the left to find a young man named Ling, as long as you tell him what happened, he will know what to do, be careful not to be seen by others."

Gu Min followed the officials of the Ministry of Punishment back to the Ministry of Punishment. The servant of the Ministry of Punishment knew that the Marquis of Linyang was coming, so he hurried out of the yamen to receive him personally.

After exchanging pleasantries, the case was mentioned, but Gu Min only said that he did not know Zhao Lin, and that it was Zhao Lin who wrote to him saying that he had clues about Chen Fu that he could provide, so he went to Zhao Lin and gave Zhao Lin a letter. He didn't know anything about the 1000 taels of silver bill, and he didn't tell the Minister of Punishment what Zhao told about him and Chen Fu before his death.

After a while, the official sent by the Criminal Ministry to investigate Zhao Lin's identity came back. Zhao Lin was indeed a young lady listed in a Nanfeng Hall in the capital, and he knew Chen Fu too, but Chen Fu didn't go to the Nanfeng Hall many times. The two usually meet at Zhao Lin's house.

The officials also found a large amount of gold and silver from Zhao Lin's house, as well as a letter from Chen Fu. The content of the letter was almost the same as what Zhao Lin and Gu Min said.

After reading Chen Fu's letter to Zhao Lin, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment probably understood what was going on. An unknown big shot used Zhao Lin to coerce Chen Fu into killing him for him, and the identity of this big shot... Gu Min didn't meet the conditions?Otherwise, why didn't that big man order Chen Fu to kill other people, but why did he want him to kill Liu Shilang?

Gu Min knew what was going on in the mind of the Minister of Justice when he saw the look in his eyes. When he heard Zhao Lin's story about him and Chen Fu, he felt that Zhao Lin's words were full of loopholes, and he didn't believe that anyone was about to die. , His words were good nonsense, so he didn't tell the Minister of the Ministry of Justice that Zhao Lin was in the story, and he had a role left for him.

The big man first bought Zhao Lin to act and coerced Chen Fu to kill someone, and then went to Zhao Lin's house to kill people and silence him. In this way, isn't it all connected?

Gu Min sneered and said: "Master Minister, please think carefully, if this Marquis wants to pay someone to kill someone, why bother to go to such lengths and leave such a big opening for himself, besides, even if this Marquis wants to kill someone, he has to do it himself? Can you still be caught by the people of your punishment department? It is obviously a trap, such a clumsy way of setting the blame, can the Lord Minister not see it?"

After being reminded by Gu Min, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, his mind cleared up a bit. That's right, with Gu Min's current status, he doesn't have to come forward to kill someone, let alone make a deal with the young man in the Goulan Courtyard to silence him. He was caught when he was still there, what a stupid person he must be, and it is too insulting to Jin Yiwei.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment smiled and said: "Gu Hou, don't misunderstand, this official has absolutely no intention of doubting you! Of course, this official believes that you are innocent!"

"It's okay, it's human nature for Mr. Minister Minister to think that way. Whether this Marquis is innocent or not will not be known until the truth is found out." Gu Min sat down, took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table, and said slowly, "Master Shi Lang, please be safe and don't be impatient. The Marquis has already sent someone to investigate. I believe there should be a result within today."

Before sunset, someone outside the yamen came to report to the officials, claiming that he knew about Zhao Lin and wanted to report to the government.

The yamen servant brought the man into the court, but he didn't expect that the man was actually the bustard of Zhao Lin's Nanfeng Pavilion.

The old bustard knelt down in the hall, and as soon as the gavel on the hall slapped, she vomited out everything she knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans. It turned out that although Zhao Lin was a young lady in their hall, she only listed occasionally. He doesn't often come out to pick up customers. He has been raised by a rich man all year round. The rich man is a son of a family and he must pay attention to his reputation. Therefore, only the bustard who took over the money knows about it, and no one else knows about it.

As for the relationship between Chen Fu and Zhao Lin, the bustard also knew about it. She wondered how the son who took care of Zhao Lin would be willing to let Zhao Lin pick up other guests, until she heard that both Zhao Lin and Chen Fu were dead today. She felt that there might be something strange in it, so she came to report to the official and told everything she knew.

Hearing what the old bustard said, the case gradually became clear. Assuming that the wealthy businessman beaten to death by Chen Fu, the young lady who had a good relationship with Zhao Lin, and the big man who threatened Chen Fu to kill him were all the same person, it was the one who took care of Zhao Lin. Young master of the rich family, in this way, everything makes sense.

The son of the rich family first let Zhao Lin pretend to seduce Chen Fu into the set, and then the two acted to coerce Chen Fu to help him kill, and then asked Zhao Lin to trick Gu Min into meeting him, pretending to kill and kill, and Zhao Lin fabricated a story that was not true. The big shots and the young ladies who are close friends are all just to cover for the real culprit behind the scenes - the rich man.

Since Zhao Lin is willing to work for the son of a rich family willingly and never forgets to protect him until his death, the relationship between the two should be extraordinary. As for whether his confession to Chen Fu before his death was true or false, only The dead Zhao Lin knew it himself.

But Gu Min didn't understand why the rich man would deliberately go around such a big detour to frame him, what enmity is there between them?

The minister of punishment asked the old bustard if he knew the identity of the rich man, and the old bustard said that he didn't know the exact name, only that his surname was Qin, and he lived in Calabash Lane in the east of the city.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishments immediately sent an official to arrest that Mr. Qin, and then personally escorted Gu Min, who was almost cleared of suspicion, out of the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

When Gu Min left the yamen, it was already dark, and there were not many people on the street. After walking two steps, Gu Min saw Ling Qingheng standing at the door of a restaurant, as if waiting for him.

Ling Qingheng was dressed as a scholar, and he didn't look like a martial artist at all from the outside. He looked at Gu Min with a smile and said, "Master Gu, I've done you such a big favor, so why don't you treat me to a drink?"

Gu Min paused, turned around and walked towards the restaurant. When he passed by Ling Qingheng, he sneered and said, "Last time you betrayed me and you haven't settled the debt with you. This time we settled the debt, and I don't owe you anything." As a favor, you can eat and drink, and you have to pay for the wine."

Ling Qingheng followed behind him, clicked his tongue twice and said, "I said that your Lord Gu's family has a big business, but it's just a meal of wine, how many taels of silver are you so stingy?"

Gu Min wrote lightly: "If my family knows that I spend money to buy drinks from a dubious man, he will be upset."

Ling Qingheng: "..." Fuck, why do you feel full all of a sudden before drinking the wine?

The two went upstairs to the private room, ordered food and drink, and sat down to chat.

Today, the old bustard was able to come to the yamen to tell the inside story of Zhao Lin's relationship with Mr. Qin, thanks to Ling Qingheng's help to deal with it. If Ling Qingheng came forward, the bustard might not tell the government the truth.

Ling Qingheng used to pretend to be a young lady and stayed in the Nanfeng Pavilion for two years. Naturally, there were many contacts and eyeliners of him, so after hearing Zhao Lin revealing his identity as a young lady, Gu Min ordered his subordinates to find him quietly. Ling Qingheng asked Ling Qingheng for help, and Ling Qingheng did not disappoint him, and quickly pulled that Mr. Qin out from behind the scenes.

When the food and wine were served, Ling Qingheng poured himself two glasses and noticed that Gu Min's brows were always gloomy, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Why do you still look preoccupied after all the suspicions have been cleared?"

Gu Min rubbed the wine glass in his hand, "I always feel that the matter is a bit too easy to solve. The trap they set up for me is full of mistakes and omissions. It is impossible to successfully frame me. What are they planning for a plan that is bound to fail?"

Ling Qingheng said indifferently: "The thieves in the world are all extremely smart, and if they can't stand it, there are stupid thieves?"

The tight string in Gu Min's heart still didn't let go, he looked at Ling Qingheng solemnly, and asked, "Do you have any impression of the family surnamed Qin in Calabash Alley?"

"Huluxiang?" Ling Qingheng put down his wine glass, looked up at the sky and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't have any impression of Huluxiang, but I think of someone named Qin who has a grudge against me."

Gu Min asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

Ling Qingheng put his hands on the table and said in a low voice: "Did you forget? Qin Yong, the former military servant who falsely accused my father of planning to launch a mutiny, was the one who we sneaked into his house together that night and forced him to write a confession. Afterwards, he committed suicide in fear of crime." gone."

Just as Gu Min recalled who Qin Yong was, suddenly there was a loud noise from under the window of the restaurant. He hurriedly stood up and opened the window to have a look. He saw a team of officials passing by on the road. The officials carried five stretchers back and forth, covered with white cloth, It looks like it's a corpse!

Five people died all at once, and the common people would naturally cause a sensation when they saw it. There was a lot of discussion on the street, and they were all asking who died.

Gu Min noticed that there were a few Jin Yiwei wandering around below, as if they were looking for someone, so he signaled from upstairs, Jin Yiwei raised his head and saw Gu Min, but his face was full of shock, "My lord! We have found you!"

The Jinyi guards hurried upstairs and saw that Gu Min had forgotten to pay respects, and hurriedly said: "My lord, something serious has happened! Just now people from the Criminal Department went to the Qin's house to arrest the suspect, but when they arrived at the Qin's house, they found that the five members of the Qin family had died. They all hanged themselves! They even wrote blood on the wall!"

Gu Min's face changed slightly, and he asked, "What did you write?"

Jin Yiwei faltered and said: "Gu thief... takes power and harms Zhongliang, I can't get rid of him to avenge my father... Heaven will punish him..."

After hearing this, Gu Min felt enlightened, and couldn't help sneering out loud. It turned out that after such a big circle, assassinating Liu Shilang and blaming him was not the murderer's real purpose. Liu Shilang, Chen Fu, Zhao Lin, Qin's family A family of five, a total of eight lives, just to charge him with a crime of mutilating Zhongliang.

Even if Gu Min could clear up the suspicion of bribing Chen Fu to assassinate Liu Shilang, who would take the lives of his family to frame him?Once the five members of the Qin family died, and the incident became such a big mess, Gu Min couldn't tell even if his whole body was full of mouths.

Gu Min asked Jin Yiwei to retreat first, leaving only him and Ling Qingheng in the private room. The two had the same condensed and heavy expressions. They sat silently facing each other, each meditating. The room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard.

In the end, Ling Qingheng took the lead to break the silence, and knocked on the table, "I don't understand, even if the Qin family wanted to die with you, why did they go to such lengths to plan to assassinate the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to blame you? Anyway After the truth is exposed, they still have to die, isn't it superfluous to do so?"

"Do you still think that it is only the Qin family who want to bring me down?" Gu Min poured himself a glass of wine, and said casually, "You have made a mistake, and the mastermind behind the scenes designed the assassination of Liu Shilang. Put the blame on me, how can a trap full of mistakes and omissions catch people? They want to force the Qin family to show their ambitions with death. According to the laws of Daying, killing an official of the court is equivalent to committing a rebellion. For two thousand miles, the wife and daughter acted as official slaves. The Qin family's conspiracy was revealed, and they knew that they could not escape the guilt. That's why the five members of the family were willing to die. Once they died, things got out of hand, and they gave the black hands behind the scenes an excuse to criticize me. Their real purpose is to make money out of one mouth and burn bones into pieces.”

"But who would want to put you to death?" Ling Qingheng said, "Du Qianren? Guo Jiuchen? These people are dead, and they are under confinement. They are no longer a threat to you."

"There should be a force that I don't know that infiltrated the capital without me noticing it." Gu Min drank the wine in his glass and slammed it on the table, "And it is very likely that they already know my true identity Otherwise, why would you choose to use the Qin family to attack me? As long as the court orders to investigate Qin Yong’s death, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hide my identity.” Having said this, he paused and looked at Ling Qingheng seriously, “You You have to prepare early, maybe someone will be watching you early in the morning."

Ling Qingheng smiled meaninglessly, slapped the table and said: "I knew this day would come! These people used such dirty and despicable means to harm your family and my family more than ten years ago. I didn't expect to be able to frame people more than ten years later." It doesn’t take long, and it’s thanks to them for coming up with such a vicious trick! But the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high, and there is no conclusion on who will win!” Ling Qingheng narrowed his sharp eyes, looked at Gu Min and said, “What’s the matter? Until now, the enemy is dark and we are clear, but as long as the emperor believes in you, the odds of winning are still on our side!"

—

After Gu Min and Ling Qingheng finished discussing the matter, it was already late at night, and the palace gate had already been unlocked, so he couldn't enter the palace tonight, so he rested in his own mansion. Early the next morning, he rushed to the palace to meet Shen Ying .

Shen Ying had already gotten up, and the little eunuch was helping him change his clothes. After Gu Min came in, he took over the job of the little eunuch and helped Shen Ying to dress himself.

Shen Ying stretched her arms and asked Gu Min to help him dress, as if she didn't sleep well last night, there was still a remnant of laziness between her brows and eyes, she half-opened her phoenix eyes, and asked lazily: "What did you do last night? Why didn't you come back?" palace?"

Gu Min suddenly felt that he was right for not entering the palace last night. If Shen Ying knew what happened outside the palace yesterday, he might not have slept well last night, but had a sleepless night.sleepless nights.

Gu Min helped Shen Ying put on the dragon robe, walked up to Shen Ying, helped him smooth out the wrinkles on the clothes, and said calmly: "I was caught up in some trivial matters, so I didn't have time to return to the palace before the key was released. "

Shen Ying asked with interest: "What's the matter?"

Gu Min picked up the golden jade and amber rhinoceros belt hanging on the screen, stretched his hands around Shen Ying's waist to wrap the jade belt around Shen Ying's waist, and said in a casual tone as if gossiping, "Your Majesty, two murders occurred in Beijing yesterday. Six people died."

Shen Ying pressed Gu Min's shoulder, slightly surprised: "What did you say? Someone died in the capital again? Who died this time?"

Gu Min smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will tell you slowly..."

Shen Ying was covered in cold sweat in the twelfth lunar month after listening to Gu Min's explanation of the cause and effect. He held Gu Min's arm tightly, and his breathing was a little short of breath, "Is what you said based on real evidence, or is it just your guess?"

He couldn't believe that someone would set such a big trap for Gu Min, a trap that was so intertwined that it was impossible to guard against it? !

How could there be someone in the world with such a vicious mind?But just hearing what Gu Min said, he was already terrified.

Gu Min held Shen Ying's hand instead, "If you want to know whether it's a guess or a fact, the emperor will know when he comes to court."

One night after the incident, I am afraid that the officials who want to impeach him this morning have already written their playbooks, and they are waiting to join him when he goes up to court today. He can even imagine the scene that will appear when he goes up to court today. The eunuchs were unavoidably agitated and impassionedly asked the emperor to deal with and investigate him. If the emperor refused to agree, they would criticize the emperor together. Sometimes the words and swords of civil officials were no less lethal than swords and swords on the battlefield.

He was not worried about whether Shen Ying would be able to withstand the pressure of the officials to keep him, but only worried about whether Shen Ying would keep him because of his insistence on going his own way, and the relationship with the courtiers would be too tense, which would affect the reputation of the monarch.

Shen Ying lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "If someone impeaches you later, I have to find a reason to suppress the matter. If this matter is pursued, it will be very bad for you."

If the case cannot be overturned for the Xu Shu family, then the identities of Gu Min and Ling Qingheng will always be behind the treasonous sinners. If Gu Min's identity as a descendant of the Xu family is revealed at this time, someone will definitely say that he stays with the emperor. It is with ulterior motives and intentions to disrupt the court.

Gu Min stretched out his hand to smoothen the wrinkles between Shen Ying's brows, and said in a gentle voice, "If there are too many voices of impeachment from the next court, the emperor doesn't have to confront the civil and military officials for the sake of his ministers, making the relationship between the monarch and his ministers tense."

"Why not? You became the target of public criticism because you did things for me. If I don't protect you, who else will protect you?" Shen Ying sighed softly, with a dejected expression on her face, "Fortunately, there is Ling Qingheng outside the palace who can help you. Trapped in this imperial city, even if I know those people are going to harm you, I can't help you..."

Gu Min looked deeply at Shen Ying, "The emperor trusts me, and that is already the biggest encouragement for me."

"It's not enough for me to believe in you," Shen Ying frowned, as if remembering something, she raised her head and shouted outside, "Come here!"

Shuoyu hurriedly brought two young eunuchs in and waited for Shen Ying to show them off. Shen Ying told them to immediately go to those ministers he trusted and told them that when they came to the court, if there was an official who impeached Gu Min, they must Stand up and fight for Gu Min.

Although he is the emperor, he only has one mouth. How can he speak more than a dozen eloquent eloquent officials? Of course, he has to find some helpers.

Gu Min helped Shen Ying put on the Yishan crown at the end. His hands were used to wield knives and swords, and he was able to do such things as serving people with ease, and he seemed to never tire of it. After looking at Shen Ying for a while, he stepped forward to help him straighten his clothes, and helped him to hold Yi Shanguan. He repeated this several times until he couldn't find any faults in Shen Ying's body. I really don't know where he came from. patience.

In the end, Shen Ying became impatient with him, and said jokingly: "Usually I've never seen you to be so picky, but today I asked you to wear clothes so boring, when did you get obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

Gu Min looked at Shen Ying without blinking, with greed in his eyes, as if he wanted to imprint Shen Ying's appearance in his eyes, "I am afraid that after today, I will never have the opportunity to serve the emperor like today again."

"Say something frustrating!" Shen Ying restrained her jokes, took Gu Min's hand and held it tightly, and said firmly, "You believe in me, I will definitely protect you from harm, even if you are against all officials, I will definitely stand On your side!"
