Wear it to a club in another world

Chapter 259 Under the imperial decree

"Brother Hongwang's words are wrong. It is precisely because of the seriousness of the situation that this king recommends Mr. Gu. If Mr. Gu is inexperienced, no one is born with experience in investigating cases. Moreover, Mr. Gu is a great talent, full of civil and military affairs. I have already realized that he is brilliant in writing, good at martial arts, and shined brilliantly in the contest with Chen Guo. It can be seen that Master Gu is definitely an all-rounder. Furthermore, I have met Master Gu several times, and I feel that he is thoughtful and meticulous. , as careful as a hair, and extremely intelligent, are the qualities that should be possessed in investigating cases." Lu Yihong became more and more enthusiastic about his words, and he was moved by his eloquence, "Furthermore, the father was promoted to the official position of Lord Gu. From the sixth rank to the fifth rank, and three consecutive ranks, Mr. Gu should perform well? This is worthy of the respect and support of the father."

Lu Yijing made up his mind to throw this hot potato to Gu Dao's heart. He was not so sharp in the past, but today he is a set of things. He must have done a lot of homework and put his heart into it.

Lu Yihong wanted to refute, but the emperor nodded directly.

"Yijing is right. Gu Aiqing is a great talent. I can rest assured that this matter is entrusted to him, but what Yihong said is not bad. Gu Aiqing really has no experience. Then let the Ministry of Justice send two people to help. With Aiqing as the leader, we will investigate this case together, and we must give me an explanation within three days!"

Lu Yijing saluted, "Father is wise! It's just that Master Gu is talented, but after all, it's a big deal. It's better for Father to put some pressure on Master Gu. As the saying goes, there is pressure to be motivated. We are also trying to let Master Gu do his best. Go all out."

"What I'm saying is, if you still think about Zhou Xiang, then make an order. If Gu Aiqing can find out the real culprit within three days, he will be promoted to a third rank. If he can't find out, I will erase his reputation and let him go." official position!"

Lu Yijing smiled sinisterly, bowed again and returned to his seat, looking at Lu Yihong with complacency.Today is definitely the happiest day for him in more than a year!He didn't believe that Gu Daoxin could find out the real culprit within three days. In order to explain to Chen Guo, Gu Daoxin would be demoted and severely punished, and he might even go to jail. Lu Yihong, who had always wanted to win over Gu Daoxin, dealt a heavy blow, killing two birds with one stone!

Lu Zhen was not there in the early court, and when he knew that the emperor had entrusted Gu Daoxin with investigating the real culprit, that would be the time when the imperial decree came down.

Almost as soon as the morning court was over, the imperial decree arrived.

Gu Daoxin didn't go to court for the past two days. He had just been promoted to the fifth rank and had ten days off. He wanted to use this time to arrange business. After the death of a dozen people, he had been investigating.No one else was there when the imperial decree arrived in the ancient mansion, so it was Lu Dong who went out to find him.

Gu Daoxin was with Lu Zhen at that time, and upon hearing the imperial decree, Lu Zhen returned home with Gu Daoxin.It's just that to avoid suspicion, Lu Zhen entered through the back door and stood where the eunuch could not see.

Hearing the content of the imperial decree, Gu Dao was also stunned. He didn't understand why the emperor would entrust such an important matter to himself, a layman.

Gu Daoxin gestured to Lu Dong with his eyes, and Lu Dong immediately took out a money bag from his arms. Gu Daoxin took the heavy money bag and stuffed it into the father-in-law's hand, "I have something to ask my father-in-law. I'm here to investigate? I don't have any experience in this area before, and I'm not familiar with the envoys of Kingdom Chen."

The father-in-law weighed the money bag, put it into the sleeves in a calm manner, and then said to Gu Daoxin: "It is His Royal Highness King Jing who appreciates Mr. Gu and recommends it to His Majesty, and His Majesty also thinks it is good to leave this matter to Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu is a man of great talent, and he will definitely be able to find out the real culprit within three days. As for if he can't find out... Hehe, this imperial decree is also clearly written, so the miscellaneous family will not talk too much. Presumably Mr. Gu still has to seize the time to investigate the case , then the miscellaneous family will not delay the work of adults."

The father-in-law who passed the decree swept the dust away, turned around and led the people away.

Lu Zhen came out from the shadows, his brows furrowed.

"Shang Jing's death is probably caused by the people of Chen Kingdom themselves, and they must learn from others."

"When I first found out that Shang Jing was killed, I guessed that. Yuan Li must have planted someone next to Shang Jing. If he can successfully take me away, he will do nothing. After I have perfected the gunpowder, I will find a reason to send troops. It's not too late, but if it doesn't work, Yuan Li will give orders to the people around Shang Jing to kill Shang Jing in order to preemptively attack them, so as to get a justifiable reason to send troops. It's also because I'm afraid that I will develop gunpowder and make them lose their advantage Lu Yijing definitely doesn't know the reason for this, he did this just to harm me."

"I'll go to the emperor and ask him to take back the imperial edict."

"Hey, no need." Gu Daoxin pulled Lu Zhen who was about to enter the palace, "No need to do this, I have my own way."

"Even if you can find the murderer, they won't admit it without absolute evidence. Moreover, the person Yuan Li placed next to Shang Jing must be a dead man. If he is caught, he will commit suicide to keep the secret."

"No, the real culprit is not so easy to find. Even if I can find it, there is a way to make him tell the truth, but three days is not enough."

"Then what do you want?"

"What Chen Guo wants is an explanation, as long as I give him a murderer and let him accept it."

"Kechen Kingdom won't trust anyone we randomly find."

"Who said I should just find someone for him? Since I want to find someone, then I must find someone who they can't refute, and they have nothing to do~"

Lu Zhen frowned, "Who?"

"Oh, Xianzhang, how many times have I told you, don't always frown, look, the mark between the eyebrows has appeared again."

Gu Daoxin stretched out his thumb, pressed lightly between Lu Zhen's eyebrows, and said while pressing, "Don't frown all the time!"

Lu Zhen took Gu Daoxin's hand and put it down, "You haven't said who you're looking for yet?"

Gu Dao smiled heartily, took out a jade pendant from his bosom and hung it in front of Lu Zhen.

"Is this the piece that Jian Zong dropped that night?"

"That's right, this is the simple jade pendant, the jade pendant carved with his name engraved with thousands of threads of red, the only one in the world."

Lu Zhen instantly understood Gu Daoxin's intention, "Are you going to blame Jian Zong for this?"

"My Xianzhang is smart, so I guessed it right away. This Qiansihong cannot be faked. It is exclusively used by the royal family of Chen Kingdom. The only exception is Jian Zong, so this jade pendant is a symbol of Jian Zong. I just want to say that this jade pendant is If they were found at the scene where Shang Jing was killed, they would be able to transfer the suspicion to Jian Zong. Jian Zong had already left to protect Yuan Li, and it was time to go to Kingdom Chen, so he was even more unable to defend himself. Besides, from Shang Jing After Jing's death, Jian Zong never showed his face, and it is reasonable to say that he fled in fear of crime. At that time, I will insist that Jian Zong is the murderer, and the people of Chen Country will be powerless to refute it."

"But even if you say that, the people of Chen Country will ask you to find Jian Zong and hand it over to them. But if Jian Zong has already returned to the country, how can you hand it over?"

"No, if we insist that Jian Zong is the murderer, maybe Chen Guo will take the initiative to expose this matter."

"Why?"

Gu Daoxin leaned closer to Lu Zhen, smiled and put his chin on Lu Zhen's shoulder, "Didn't Xianzhang notice that Yuan Li and Jian Zong get along very well?"

Lu Zhen shook his head.That night, all his attention was on guarding against Jian Zong's sudden attack to hurt Gu Dao's heart, and he really didn't pay attention to anything else.

"Anyway, I saw it." Gu Daoxin tilted his head and continued to lean on Lu Zhen's shoulder, "At that time you suddenly appeared and stopped Jian Zong's sword. The first thing Yuan Li did after he came over was to check if Jian Zong was injured. Just looking at us, it can be seen that Jian Zong must be very important in his heart. He will not want Jian Zong to bear the reputation of killing Shang Jing, this is treason, and it will ruin Jian Zong's reputation. This matter is absolutely true in Chen Kingdom It is a high-level secret, so only Yuan Li and his confidants know about it, and they can't tell the story, otherwise, if people know that their king killed his teacher for a reason to start a war, it will greatly damage Yuan Li. Li's reputation. So as long as we send the news to Chen Country and let them know that we have mastered the jade pendant as evidence, Yuan Li will definitely find a way to erase this incident, as if nothing happened."

"But Jian Zong is just the guard next to Yuan Li. I don't think Yuan Li will give up his carefully planned plan for him. He may even risk being preempted."

"I don't think so. Let's take a gamble, anyway, there is no other solution now, just bet on how important Jian Zong is to Yuan Li's heart."

Seeing Gu Daoxin not only not feeling nervous, but rather excited, Lu Zhen also laughed.

Gu Dao wanted to gamble, so he gambled, even if Yuan Li chose to sacrifice Jian Zong in the end, it didn't matter, he would let the emperor take back the imperial edict.If the emperor was determined to refuse, then he would simply let Gu Daoxin join the army and join his army. With Gu Daoxin's ability, it would not be difficult to get promoted, and it would save them from being separated frequently.

Early in the morning two days later, the courtiers went to court much earlier than usual.Just because today is the last day of the three-day period.But in the first two days, they didn't find out that Gu Daoxin had done any investigations, and they even said that they didn't see many people.He only re-examined the autopsy on the first day, and took two officials from the Criminal Department to inspect the scene again, and there was no more movement after that.

In the eyes of others, this is superfluous. Didn't the autopsy be done?What can you, a layman, see?The scene has been inspected several times by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, what new tricks can we see again?

Some people who can't see others' kindness still think with bad intentions, is it because Gu Daoxin knew that it was impossible to find the murderer in three days, so he gave up on himself, and simply enjoyed the three days, and when the time came, he would automatically unload the murderer. After leaving the official position, he went back to do business.

It's only been a month since he was promoted, and the new chair under his buttocks hasn't warmed up yet, so don't beat him back to being a commoner, this is life!
