such as Yue Linyuan

The son of the Minister of Rites was found to have died tragically in the back alley of Fengyue, and the news spread throughout the capital within a day.

The Fang family is a single lineage, and Fang Benhe finally got Fang Zhili's son when he was over forty years old. Needless to say, Fang Zhili was loved and painstakingly cultivated since he was a child. Yue unexpectedly exposed the dead body on the street, and Fang Zhili, who was married only last month, did not even have a child. The old lady of the Fang family passed out on the spot when she heard the news. When he died, he hugged the horrific corpse of his only son and wept bitterly.

When a murder case occurs in the capital, it is first investigated and dealt with by the magistrate's yamen. After the magistrate's yamen closes the case, it can be sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

Since he is the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the magistrate of the magistrate's yamen did not dare to ignore it. Fang Ben and this side recognized the corpse, and the magistrate over there sent someone to find out who had seen Fang Zhili last, and where Fang Zhili last went. Where is it again.

Fu Yin didn't expect that this investigation would reveal even bigger things, and he was so scared that he didn't even dare to invite someone.

Fang Zhili was actually invited to Yunnifang by Prince An. In addition to Fang Zhili, Prince An also invited a group of dudes who often had fun with him in the capital that night. Everyone had a good time in Yunnifang. The prince heard that the top card hadn't broken his body yet. Before that, he had been performing arts instead of selling his back, and even recited poems against him. Finally, he won the heart of the beautiful woman and became the first guest of the new top card. He spent the night in Yunnifang.

As for that Fang Zhili, it is said that he was extremely dissolute in Yunnifang that night, embracing left and right, completely forgetting about his newlywed wife. After Prince An took the lead and went to the wing, that Fang Zhili also booked two The new prostitute went to the wing room, and until the time of Yinzhi, someone saw Fang Zhili leaving Yunnifang drunk.

This murder case involved both Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Prince An, and the magistrate could not afford to offend any of them. After careful consideration, he had to report it directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Among them, the time of occurrence was still in the few days when Prince An was on leave and went to court early, and he reported it directly to the Holy Majesty immediately.

In the hall, before He Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, had finished the case to Chu Yuelei, Fang Benhe knelt down on the steps, kowtowed heavily to Chu Yuelei, and cried out with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, please take care of the child. It is up to you to find out the real culprit. The old minister is now over sixty years old, and there is only such a son under his knees. Although it is true that the old minister has no way to teach, the unfilial son has already entered the Imperial Academy and married. The old minister is really ashamed to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, but now people are disappearing in such a vague way, how can the old minister face his mother, face his ancestors..."

"I understand that Aiqing must be deeply saddened by the sudden loss of her son. I was shocked when I heard about this case. I didn't expect that someone in the capital would dare to attack the son of the Minister of Rites. Rest assured, Aiqing. I will definitely let people investigate this case and find out The real murderer, uphold justice for Aiqing." Chu Yuelei repeatedly appeased Fang Benhe, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said to He Jingwen: "Since this case involves Prince An, even if I ordered the Ministry of Punishment to take charge, He Shangshu's subordinates I’m afraid that those officials who are involved in the case will also have a lot of concerns, how about this, He Shangshu first handed over the current details of the case, and after I have reviewed it, I will make another decree to decide the person who will lead the case.”

What He Jingwen was waiting for was Chu Yuelei's words. He has been an official in the court for many years as the minister of the Ministry of punishment. The few black hairs were all grey. He knew that Chu Yuelei would not be happy for him to clarify the case in the early court, so he deliberately waited until after the next court before asking to see him separately. Now that he got the holy will, he hurriedly handed over the booklet in his hand Submit it.

Chu Yuelei's heart was not without fire, it was only because Fang Ben and He Jingwen were there that he didn't explode immediately. After the two retreated, Chu Yuelei's full of anger finally turned against him because he had other important matters with Chu Yue. Lei Bingming discussed and discussed, so Si Yuanting, who was still standing in front of the steps, broke out.

"Ridiculous!" As soon as the two ministers left, Chu Yuelei suddenly got up from the high seat, threw the handed-in booklet to the ground, pointed at the booklet and said angrily to Si Yuanting: "Well, Chu Yuezhi really deserves to be My good brother, who took leave of absence for several days in a row on the grounds of being unwell, turned out to go to Yunnifang with a bunch of dudes in the evening to indulge in wine and flowers, does he still take me seriously?!"

Leaning over to pick up the bag on the ground, Si Yuanting said calmly as before compared to the furious Chu Yuelei: "Your Majesty, I think this is a good opportunity."

Chu Yuelei glared angrily at the Zhezi in Si Yuanting's hand for a moment, and immediately realized what Si Yuanting meant by "good opportunity". Yue Zhi had many suspicions and couldn't make a move because he couldn't find out where he was going wrong. He was still thinking about what to do next after Chu Yuezhi avoided his temptation at the palace banquet, but he didn't expect that Chu Yuezhi would be the first to kill him. The handle was sent to him, and he was given a justifiable reason to deal with his seventh younger brother.

Chu Yuelei, who was still furious a moment ago, regained his calm in the blink of an eye. He sat down again, with a chilling smile on his lips.

Chu Yuelei and Chu Yuezhi look six to seven points similar, but their facial features are not as delicate as Chu Yuezhi's. Both his eyes and lips are a little dull, so when he shows such an expression, his whole body All revealed a gloomy atmosphere.

"Aiqing is very right, you react quickly." Chu Yuelei just smiled like that, and said: "Summon, order Prince An to enter the palace immediately to face the saint!"

When Chu Yuezhi stepped over the threshold and entered the imperial study, Si Yuanting sat on the chair without even raising his eyelids.

"Chen brother, pay homage to the emperor's brother." After Chu Yuezhi saluted, he stood with his hands down but did not raise his head, and only respectfully said: "I do not know what the so-called emperor called my ministers into the palace for an audience?"

"I don't know?" Chu Yuelei repeated, and then he said to Chu Yuezhi with a heartbroken look: "Seventh brother, you have been on leave for several days before the morning court, and the emperor really thought you were unwell, so someone gave it to you." Sending supplements, I don’t want you to be acting so ridiculously now, taking sick leave to go out with those ignorant dandies, and now being involved in the murder of the son of the Ministry of Rites, it really makes the emperor feel sad.”

"Brother Emperor's words made my younger brother panic." Chu Yuezhi knelt down immediately, and defended Chu Yuelei with his arms in his arms: "It's true that my younger brother went to Yunnifang with his friends, but it's true that I was unwell a few days ago When my father was in power, my ministers had many old afflictions and sometimes felt unwell because they were traveling and fighting outside the country all the year round. This matter is absolutely true, and I dare not deceive my brother Meng. What's more, my ministers just heard that Fang Zhili also I was delighted to appreciate the singing, dancing and piano music, so I invited him to go to Yunnifang together, and I didn't have much conversation with him when I was in that Yunnifang, and it is impossible to predict what will happen to him in the future."

Chu Yuelei got up from behind the desk and went around, came to Chu Yuezhi and leaned over to help him up, and said with a serious expression: "Brother Huang knows that you were in danger many times in order to suppress that rioting alien tribe. But Fang Zhili's case, he was indeed invited by you to Yunnifang, and now that something happened to him, Fang Ben and today have both knelt before the imperial court and begged for a thorough investigation of the case , but you are my imperial brother, how dare He Jingwen invite you to the Ministry of Punishment, it is very difficult for me right now."

"My younger brother knows that going to Yunnifang will lose the face of the royal family, and he is willing to accept the punishment. As for Fang Zhili's case, my younger brother is also willing to cooperate with He Shangshu's investigation." Chu Yuezhi looked calm, only for himself to go to Yunnifang Please punish, Fang Zhili's case can be said to be indifferent.

"I'm afraid that this case is no longer suitable for investigation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Chu Yuelei said, looking sideways at Si Yuanting.

Si Yuanting was originally sitting on a chair with an attitude of staying out of the matter, but when Chu Yuelei glanced at him, he got up and said: "I would like to share your majesty's worries. If your majesty trusts me, this case can be handed over to The East Factory will investigate."

"What Aiqing said, I naturally trust you. In this case, this case will be handed over to Dongchang for investigation. In order to prevent someone from causing trouble, Si Yuanting, I order you to supervise it yourself." Chu Yuelei said to Si Yuanting After that, he turned his head and patted Chu Yuezhi on the shoulder, and said to him: "Seventh brother, this case has been well known in the capital, and the fact that you booked the top card to stay overnight in Yunnifang is also rumored. Now the common people are talking about it, even if you are just pretending to be emperor, you must be punished severely. Later, I will decree to put you under house arrest in the mansion. Before the truth of this case is found out, you have to think about it in the mansion .”

"Brother, please abide by the holy will." Chu Yuezhi had no objection to Chu Yuelei's punishment, and only quietly cast a meaningful look at Si Yuanting while bowing his head in salute.

"Okay, Brother Huang and Si Yuanting have other things to talk about, you go to the next door for a rest first, and when it's time for lunch, you and Si Yuanting have dinner with Brother Huang." Chu To show his closeness, Yue Lei didn't let Chu Yuezhi leave immediately, instead he wanted to leave Chu Yuezhi to have lunch together.

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your kindness, then I will leave first." Chu Yuezhi took two steps back, putting a proper distance between him and Chu Yuelei, before turning around and leaving.

After Chu Yuezhi got out of the imperial study room and was taken to a side hall by other eunuchs to rest, Chu Yuelei finally removed the look of being close to the emperor's younger brother, and said to Si Yuanting indifferently: "I leave this case to you. In your hands, how to check and what kind of results should be found, I don't need to teach you any more."

The corners of Si Yuanting's mouth curled up into a holy smile, and the shrill voice made the little eunuchs who were waiting on the side feel horrified, "I will live up to His Majesty's expectations and find out a satisfactory result in this case."

"So, very good." Chu Yuelei nodded in satisfaction, his eyes were still looking at the direction where Chu Yuezhi left the imperial study, with a piercing chill in his eyes.

Seventh brother, oh seventh brother, since you have thrown yourself into a trap with such disdain, don't blame the emperor for pushing the boat along.
