Hongdi

Chapter 23

The Golden Luan Hall was not close to the Chu Palace, and when Yu Xun arrived, most of the people had already arrived.After greeting all the officials one by one, he stood still at his usual position, pondering what happened this morning, feeling very restless in his heart.

"The emperor is here!" A sharp and long shout resounded through the golden hall, Yu Xun pulled back his thoughts, and followed the group of officials to pay homage to the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Time passed silently, for a long time, so long that Yu Xun felt his legs were a little numb, but the emperor still had no intention of calling everyone to get up.An invisible pressure spread throughout the hall, and dozens of people dared not show their air.The chilling silence makes people panic and want to escape.

"Get up." The emperor let out a long breath, looking at the people who got up slowly, his face sank like water.

Yu Xun raised his head slightly and took a sneak peek, and saw that the emperor was looking at the officials with a dark face and squinted eyes.The eyes met inadvertently, and the bloodthirsty murderous look in the emperor's eyes made him take a step back. He looked at his father's strange face in astonishment, but he didn't expect that man to smile.

"Yu Xun, I have something to entrust to you."

Yu Xun saluted, "I will do my best to do what my father told me."

The emperor ignored him again, and turned to the ministers: "Your gentlemen were urgently summoned here today because there was... a murder case in the capital." Looking at the expressions of the ministers coldly, he pondered for a while and then Said: "Everyone has seen who is absent from the court today?"

As soon as the emperor uttered these words, there was a commotion immediately. He ignored the restlessness of the officials, and said again: "Feng Wenda, speak up."

Feng Wenda, Yin of Youcheng Mansion, came out, bowed and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Return to the emperor, I received a report from the Wei Mansion this morning. The father and son of the old General Wei were brutally killed by thieves. I rushed to the Wei Mansion immediately for investigation. Both the old general and his son He was killed in the bedroom after being stunned by drugs, and his head was hung at the main entrance of the Wei Mansion."

After Feng Wenda finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.This is another murder of an important official after Zuo Prime Minister Situ Ling was assassinated three years ago.

Yu Xun felt dizzy for a while. He thought of Bei Yaofei and Xun Shuiyin's Wei Mansion, he hesitated and worried, "It shouldn't be them who did it, there is no need for that. And hang the head on the gate of the mansion, This is obviously a provocation, it will never be them." Sweeping from the corner of his eyes, he saw that Wei Xiao frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, while Han Qi on the side had already stared in amazement, and turned around to discuss in a low voice with Li Taishi and others behind him stand up.

"Yu Xun," the emperor said suddenly, and the hall immediately fell silent.

"My son is here." Yu Xun left the class.

"I'll give you five days to find out the matter with Feng Wenda."

Yu Xun rolled his eyes and began to complain in his heart, but he didn't answer. "Five days? Are you kidding me?! This is an assassination, and it may not be clear in a month, okay! Three years ago, Situ Ling's case was investigated for half a year before Yu Shalou was uncovered. This time, only five days? Feng Wenda is a case-solving expert who was exceptionally promoted for repeatedly solving strange cases, but five days is too short, isn't it? Besides, isn't Feng Wenda a newcomer who just transferred from another county? Detective, it's too much..."

Seeing that Yu Xun didn't respond, Cook Xiao stepped forward and said, "I want to report to my father, my son thinks that the five days are a bit rushed, can you give us some time?"

The emperor looked at Xiao Xiao quietly, "You are not the prince, how do you know that you don't have enough time?" He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled mockingly, "Ah, Xiao Xiao, you underestimate your brother too much."

Seeing this, Yu Xun still didn't respond.

The emperor lightly bumped the armrest of the dragon chair with the emerald wrench on his thumb, and the crisp sound shook Yu Xun to annoy him, "Yu Xun? I'm waiting for your reply."

"Father, my son, my son has not investigated the case, and I don't know what's going on here. Besides, Old General Wei is the elder of our court, so this is a big matter. I'm afraid my son will bear the grace of God."

"Didn't you just say that you would do your best? You changed your mind after a while, huh?" The emperor deliberately drew the end of the sound very long, and his face darkened a bit.

Yu Xun hastily knelt down and argued: "Father calm down, I'm just afraid that I won't do well. Besides, Mr. Feng has been in office for many years and has a lot of experience in investigating cases. This minister may drag Mr. Feng back. Therefore, my minister... "

"Yu Xun, what do you mean, you are not as good as a prince of a country?" The emperor looked at Yu Xun's obedient look, and his already irritable heart suddenly burst into anger.He has always been very accurate in seeing people, so he knows that Yu Xun's performance in front of the officials is all acting, Yu Xun, I don't want to go into this troubled water!

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, Yu Xun hurriedly put his body on the ground, and stammered back in a trembling voice, "Son... son, my minister, no... that's not what I mean. It's just... just, my minister's ability is limited..."

The emperor showed a slight sneer, "Yu Xun, I will never let you stay out of it all the time, you have to go out and make trouble with those children, that would be interesting!"

"Yu Xun, I only give you five days to help Feng Wenda find out the matter. Next morning, if you can't say anything, hehe, do you still remember the Wulong Cave I asked you to go to? Go there again Stay for a few days."

Yu Xun was startled, the words "洑龙洞" fell directly on him like a huge boulder.He fell limply on the ground, covered in cold sweat, unable to speak a word.

The emperor looked at the embarrassed Yuxun, and said to Feng Wenda who was waiting on the side with a blank expression: "Feng Wenda listens to the order."

"Wei Chen is here."

"You have been handling cases for so many years, five days, okay?"

"Sir, do your best."

"Ha Qi."

"My son is here."

"You go to Wei's house on my behalf, to appease you. Also, posthumously confer Wei Sam as the Duke of Wei, and Wei Lianfeng as the Great General of Shenwei, and give him a dignified burial according to national rites."

"Yes."

"The ministers must cooperate with Feng Wenda to thoroughly investigate this case, and there must be no mistakes."

"I will obey your orders!"

"If you have nothing to do, retreat to the court, and discuss it at the next court meeting."

After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and left without waiting for everyone to reply.

Yu Xun followed Feng Wenda and walked out of the Golden Luan Hall silently.Feng Wenda turned around and gave a respectful salute, "Your Majesty is so bold, may I ask what your Highness's plan is?"

Yu Xun looked at him depressedly, spread his hands, and said sadly: "Do you think I look like someone who can investigate cases?"

Feng Wenda remained silent, and said to himself: "The prince is notoriously cowardly and incompetent. Today the emperor forced him to participate in the case of the Wei family. There must be something strange in it." But he didn't know why the emperor wanted Yu Xun to intervene When I came in, I just wanted to see if Yu Xun could make any waves.

Yu Xun curled his lips, and said again: "Master Feng, you don't have to worry about me. You investigate your case, and I will watch from the side. Okay?" Before Feng Wenda could answer, he hurriedly continued: "I will not hinder you Yes, if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me. Okay?"

"Your Highness is serious, how could you hinder the lower officials." Feng Wenda said on the lips, but secretly he was very disdainful.

"Well, Master Feng, what are your plans now?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the next official has to go back to the Yamen to recruit people, and then go to the Wei Mansion."

"Is that so, then, I'll go with you." Yu Xun said, and walked straight out of the palace, praying secretly in his heart, "I hope Bei Yaofei and the others will not be involved in this incident."

Feng Wenda was very efficient in handling affairs, and he rectified the yamen servants, gangsters and others in a short time, and rushed to Wei's mansion with Yu Xun.

When Yu Xun was playing with Wei Kaiding on the river yesterday, he had seen the Wei mansion from afar. At that time, he just felt that the mansion was very big and magnificent, but he didn't leave any special impression.Today he followed Feng Wenda to investigate the case, he was really surprised by the majestic scenery of the Wei Mansion.According to Feng Wenda, the Wei Mansion is actually not very big, there are a total of ten small courtyards, two halls, and nothing else.It's just that this general's family is different, and there is an indescribable sense of toughness everywhere.Let’s just talk about the two stone lions in front of the mansion. Other people’s family either sit upright with a pearl in their mouth, or squat mightily with their hooves on hydrangea balls. The short body bared its teeth.There is no beauty, but full of domineering.

Yu Xun looked at the two lions that were said to be bestowed by the late emperor, and shook his head sadly, "The Wei family has been prosperous for so many years in Dahong, and it is estimated that they are dying."

"Your Highness?" Feng Wenda looked at Yu Xun who was staring at the lion in a daze, and said to himself, "This prince is too ignorant, isn't he? Although the stone lion bestowed by the late emperor is exquisite, it is not enough to be dumbfounded, right?"

Turning around, Yu Xun saw the contempt flashing in Feng Wenda's eyes, smiled slyly, and said, "Master Feng laughed. I rarely leave the imperial city, and the outside world is so new to me."

"The subordinate dare not."

"Master Feng, let's go in."
