On the Importance of Chinese Characters

When Xiao Yanlin said this, the other two elders also felt that something was wrong, just now Niu Feng's expression looked as if Zhuang Yunzhou had done something heinous.

Lin Jianghua was more down-to-earth than the two of them. He brought the three of them into his original thoughts on Zhuang Yunzhou and figured it out. He asked softly, "But I think Elder Zhuang is too young and inspects too quickly. Do you think he is playing tricks?"

"Don't dare, dare not." Niu Feng waved his hands again and again, just now he felt that he was dedicated to the palace and righteous, but now he only felt that his head had been flooded.

When Lin Jianghua said this, Xiao Yanlin and Qian Boya also reacted. Xiao Yanlin looked at Niu Feng, and suddenly said: "No, I know you, Lao Niu. Since Elder Zhuang passed our assessment, you can easily Not like that, but what did you hear?"

This... It's really hard to talk about the rumors circulating in the hall. Niu Feng's eyes wandered for a while, and Bai Zhihu's face turned pale with fright.

"Don't hide it, you can't hide it." Niu Feng's hesitation was seen in Xiao Yanlin's eyes, and he glared at him, "Say it!"

Niu Feng glanced at the junior next to him, he didn't confess anyone, and said, "It's just that there have been some rumors in the hall recently."

"For Elder Zhuang?" Lin Jianghua asked

"...Yes." Niu Feng lowered his head.

"What did you say?"

Niu Feng Qi Ai Ai said in a low voice: "Rumors say...the elder Zhuang is not a real talent, but because of his high talent, he was given it in order to be able to be justified by the guards of the dark hall. It is also said that the three of you will be assessed His house was sealed to cover him up... to cover up his mistakes."

"Nonsense!" Qian Boya was furious, "Who said that!"

How do I know who said it?Niu Feng groaned secretly: "I don't know who said it, it just spread like this."

Xiao Yanlin's face turned cold: "It seems that I have been too lenient in these years, and even the palace master and elders dare to arrange it!"

"check!"

Xiao Yanlin's single word caused a big wave in the inspection hall.On the seven or eight shelves in that room, Zhuang Yunzhou engraved all his knowledge on them without any selfishness. If he had any selfishness, he only had to follow the assessment of his predecessors, so why take any risks?

Such a child is not only extremely talented, but also unexpectedly strong. What makes people like him more is his generosity.This kind of child's reputation was not obvious in the past, but it must be due to reasons. Now that the Palace Mistress and that boy Yangming are willing to let him out, it is naturally time.Now that he has become a member of the Procuratorate, the three of them should also give a push to stand up for him, lest someone always treat him as a soft persimmon.

Xiao Yanlin has been entrenched in the inspection hall for nearly 300 years, and his prestige is deeply rooted. He said that he wanted to investigate, but he was not lying. Soon, the source of the rumors was found out.

Deacon Gao is the oldest deacon in the inspection hall.When it was finally found out, the three elders couldn't believe it. Usually, Deacon Li Gao was a sophisticated person, always silent and seldom talked, and he didn't talk much about things, and he worked hard without complaint.

"Have you found out why he did this?" Xiao Yanlin rubbed his brows wearily.

"Ask." The person in the Hall of Law Enforcement returned cautiously, "He said that there have long been rumors in the hall that an elder will be added. He thinks he has enough qualifications and skills, but he doesn't want to be preempted by a junior, so he can't think about it for a while..."

"Okay." Xiao Yanlin waved his hand, "Understood, please trouble the Law Enforcement Hall, and deal with it according to the palace rules."

"Yes." The man bowed and then backed away. Not long after he left Tuoyuan Palace, Fang Qiling grabbed his shoulder and pulled him aside.

"Hey, Wu Jiu, tell me about Tuoyuan Palace."

"Hey! Brother Fang, your ears are too long." Wu Jiu shook his head, "You will know in two days. I can't tell now."

"Don't play this trick on me!" Fang Qiling gave him a hammer, "Am I an outsider? Are you fooling me? Tell me!"

Wu Jiu rubbed his hurt chest, and hissed twice: "Brother, you are too ruthless."

Fang Qiling rolled his eyes, and angrily threw him a bottle of Huiyuan Pill: "Okay, stop pretending. Say it!"

Wu Jiuxi put the Huiyuan Pill into the storage bag with a smile on his face, and then opened his mouth to explain the cause and effect, including Deacon Gao's life, personality, family, etc...everything was explained clearly.

Fang Qiling thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with it. He looked up at Wu Jiu: "No, this matter is endless."

Wu Jiu was puzzled: "What's wrong? Gao Xi was 390 years old this year, and formed a contract at 130 years old. The monk passed away after 80 years, leaving only one son, who also died in a battle in the next 30 years. Now he is alone. The inspection hall is also 180 years old."

"He is taciturn and works hard without complaint. His biggest hobby is going to a restaurant called 'Daji Restaurant' in the town at the foot of Baopu Palace to drink a few glasses of apricot blossom spring brewed alone. .There have been rumors in the inspection hall that a person will be nominated for the position of elder. He has enough qualifications and abilities, and he is almost the default candidate by everyone."

"Now that Elder Zhuang is in power, he also has a few enemies in the deacon's hall, and he speaks very badly in private. It's not incomprehensible for Gao Xi to do this."

"If it's said that no one thought it was him... the more silent and honest people are, the more vicious they are when they explode. We've seen quite a few of them."

"No." Fang Qiling still felt that something was wrong, "Show me the interrogation record."

For this kind of entrusted investigation, the Law Enforcement Hall will use the attention stone to record the interrogation process. Firstly, it is kept as evidence, and secondly, it is also in case someone backtracks in the future, so that it can be easily checked by the higher authorities.Wu Jiu is the person in charge of this interrogation, and the interrogation attention stone must be on him.

"It's fine if I tell you, why do you want to see this?" Wu Jiu hesitated and didn't want to give it.

"Stop talking nonsense." Fang Qiling frowned, "I really don't think it's right that I didn't joke with you."

Seeing him so serious, Wu Jiu couldn't help but look serious, and handed over the interrogation record stone in his arms, Fang Qiling's spiritual sense penetrated in, and the conversation process between Wu Jiu and Gao Xi reappeared.

There was no punishment or sophistry. After the people from the Law Enforcement Palace came to the door, Gao Xi acted as if he had understood something. He cooperated abnormally and had a word of excuse. He honestly explained what he thought and how he did it. clear.

"What did the three elders say?" Fang Qiling asked while watching.

"He is an old man who has followed Elder Xiao. He has worked hard for so many years. This incident happened for a reason, and it did not lead to any serious consequences. Although it is inevitable that the palace rules will deal with it, the elders have secretly told them not to embarrass him. That means , after the punishment is over, I still have to use him." Wu Jiu recalled Elder Xiao's words, "If you don't even give him a chance to correct his mistakes, it will chill the old man's heart."

After all, Gao Xi's matter is quite sympathetic.

Fang Qiling nodded, his spiritual sense was still paying attention to the image in the attention stone.

Because of the abnormal cooperation of the parties involved, the interrogation proceeded very quickly. Almost as soon as Wu Jiu finished speaking, this end came to an end. When Gao Xi was taken away, he turned his head and glanced out the window, and sighed: "I want to go to Japan tomorrow." Those who had a few drinks can’t go now.”

Ok?

Fang Qiling raised his eyebrows and read his words several times, feeling that there was something unusual in his heart.

"Did you see anything?" Wu Jiu leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Fang Qiling slapped him on the head and pushed him aside: "His reaction...is not quite right."

"Why is it wrong?" Wu Jiu didn't think it was wrong.

"He's too calm." Fang Qiling said.

"He's always been like this." Wu Jiu was puzzled.

"It's not surprising if this is the case on weekdays, but now he committed a crime and was arrested." Fang Qiling said while organizing his words, "Gao Xi is taciturn and has a calm personality. He often takes over tasks for others because he has some face in front of the elders. , will also intercede for the deacon who made a mistake, so he has a good reputation in the deacon inspection hall. But whether he is praised or scolded, he has no major fluctuations."

"Judging from the biographical records, he lived like a piece of wood."

"If such a person was not extremely annoyed and hated, how could he do such a thing? But since he is extremely annoyed, hated, or suppressed for so many years...you have seen those people, how could One is so calm? Once a person’s emotions have an outlet, it is very difficult to take them back.”

Wu Jiu paused, his brows furrowed, and his expression became serious.

Fang Qiling rubbed the interrogation stone and looked up at Wu Jiu: "What's more, if he breaks out, wouldn't it be more beneficial for him to tell all the hard work of these years? After all, even if you check the past, you will feel that his situation Excuse me."

"Gao Xi is too silent." Fang Qiling concluded, "It doesn't seem like he became angry because of being robbed of his secure position. It's more like..."

"Like what?" Wu Jiu asked.

"It seems to be completing some task." Fang Qiling said softly.

Wu Jiu's hair almost stood on end at Fang Qiling's words, completed the task?The connotation in these words is too terrifying.

Fang Qiling threw the interrogation stone back into Wu Jiu's arms: "Where did you interrogate Gao Xi just now?"

"Gao Xi's residence."

"Go, go there and have a look."

Wu Jiu and Fang Qiling pushed away Gao Xi's yard, which was unremarkable, just like Gao Xi himself, with an unremarkable osmanthus tree planted in the yard.Fang Qiling pushed the door open, recalled where Gao Xi was standing just now, and then looked out the window.

Suddenly, his expression became concentrated, he opened the door and walked out of the courtyard, and squatted down under the osmanthus tree.

Wu Jiu came out: "What's the matter? What did you find?"

Fang Qiling pointed to a few unremarkable pebbles at the root of the tree: "Here, one stone is missing."

"What?" Wu Jiu didn't know why.

Fang Qiling turned his head: "This is the direction that Gao Xi looked at at the end of the interrogation stone. I followed up and paid attention to it. There was a stone here, but it is gone now."

Wu Jiu hurriedly took out the interrogation stone for a closer look, then stood up abruptly with a solemn expression: "There is really a small stone missing!"

"In such a short period of time, someone or something else entered the yard after you took Gao Xi away, and took the stone away."

Whether it is active or passive, there must be something wrong with Gao Xi!

This matter is no longer something he, a small Batang team leader, can handle, Wu Jiu hurried out: "This matter has to be reported to the main hall."

"Wu Jiu!" Fang Qiling called him to stop, "tell Jiutang to watch Gao Xi. Let people check where the rumors that there is an extra elder in the inspection hall came from, and the Daji restaurant that Gao Xi often goes to, secretly check , don't startle the snake!"

Wu Jiu waved his hand and hurried away.
