Prince loves to pick up trash

Chapter 9 9. Chasing the Murderer

The next morning, when the minister of Dali Temple reported the case, the emperor rolled his eyes, and there was one more investigator, Qi Wenliang.

In fact, it is not uncommon for people to die in the capital, but Qiu Wei is about to die, and the dead are students, so the emperor still attaches great importance to this case.

Therefore, this time the emperor did not give full power to Qi Wenliang.

Qi Wenliang was only assisting from the sidelines, and the main investigator was Dali Siqing.

The most taboo thing about investigating a case is that there are two people who make up their minds.But Qi Wenliang accepted the order with a smile on his face.

Anyway, it was within his expectations.

There was another incident that surprised Qi Wenliang in the early morning of the day-the progress of the military pay corruption case.

The first corruption case was brought up, but only two days ago.

In two days, the servant of the household department produced evidence of corruption by Shangshu Shangxing of the household department.

The evidence was not complete, but the emperor was convicted on the spot.

The courtiers looked at each other, sighing.

"Such results can be achieved in two days. It seems that the servant is really vigorous and resolute. What a skill."

"It's such a good skill to pull down the former boss... Let's not talk about it, it's really the wave behind the Yangtze River pushing the wave ahead."

They discussed in low voices, but they knew in their hearts that this was His Majesty's intention.

The military salary is indeed passed through Shang Xingzhi's hands.

So no matter whether he was wronged or not, he can't escape the guilt.

The emperor also specifically asked Qi Wenliang what he thought, and Qi Wenliang said: "Master Minister Minister was recommended by me, if I question his ability, wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face?"

Obviously, between the power of the mother clan and the emperor's will, he chose the latter.

The emperor always felt that he was timid and didn't dare to disobey him. Hearing this, he smiled triumphantly.

Shen An frowned, but didn't say a word.

On the contrary, quite a few Shen family disciples couldn't help becoming agitated.

Can they not panic?

The emperor had already begun to clean up the Shen family's henchmen, but the crown prince, as the object of the support of the Shen family's henchmen, was unwilling to provide shelter to those who were dealt with, and he also acted like he didn't dare to refute the emperor for fear of angering the emperor.

Whether or not to be a disciple of the Shen family, these people have to weigh it carefully.

After all, Shang Xingzhi had an accident today, and the prince did not protect him; it is hard to say what will happen to him tomorrow.

Their reactions were all within Qi Wenliang's expectation, and he also knew that Shen An was worried about this.

But he still acted like he didn't care much, which made Shen An very annoyed.

Looking at all this, in Qi Zian's eyes, he only felt that the emperor's brother who deliberately irritated him was extremely cute.

After finally making it to the next court, he immediately moved to Qi Wenliang's side, and quietly pushed Shen An away to prevent Shen An from saying something that would make Qi Wenliang troublesome.

Shen An was the same as the queen, he was annoyed when he saw Qi Zian, and when he saw him coming over with a smile, he suppressed all the words that came out of his mouth.

After Qi Zian pushed him away, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Very rude!

But Qi Wenliang was very polite, seeing that he was about to leave, he said respectfully, "Go slowly, uncle."

It seemed that he was even more impolite.

Shen An who walked away a few steps was so angry that he almost fell down.

After leaving the palace gate, Qi Wenliang said to Qi Zi'an: "Zi'an go back first."

Qi Zian shook his head, "I'll go with Brother Huang, I won't be in danger. Besides, I'm very interested in this case."

Qi Wenliang stopped pushing him away, and got into the carriage with him, and rushed to Dali Temple.

On the way, Qi Zian told Qi Wenliang one by one what happened after he left yesterday.

To sum it up briefly, I caught a person who wanted to secretly get back the jade pendant.

The content of the conversation is not much, but Qi Zian talks a lot of nonsense, so the two of them have something to say along the way.

"He has been taken back by the Dali Temple. Brother Huang, you can ask him if you have any questions. In addition, he has already revealed the identity of the scholar yesterday. There is nothing special about it."

"Yeah, I got it." Qi Wenliang lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, "We're almost there, get ready to get out of the car."

This road is busy, the carriages drive slowly, and the Dali Temple is at the westernmost part of the imperial city.

So when he arrived at the place, Dali Siqing was very impatient.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King Xian." Seeing the two, he just cupped his hands.

This is against the rules, but he is not only not afraid, but also pre-emptive.

"With such a small distance, it took His Highness half an hour. It seems that His Majesty is not unreasonable to say that you are lukewarm."

"Investigating the case is not like taking a walk in the imperial garden. Go slowly. Is the murderer still waiting for you?"

In fact, the golden time for catching the murderer has passed, and now it is too late to move quickly.

Dali Siqing's words are purely to make people feel uncomfortable.

Qi Wenliang knew what he meant, but he wasn't angry at all. He just asked, "Where is the person arrested yesterday? I'll go and see if I can get any useful information."

Dali Temple Minister sneered: "Unfortunately, they have already been released. If everyone is arrested and locked up, the cells in Dali Temple will not be enough."

Now Qi Wenliang really regretted that he came slowly.

Seeing his remorse, Dali Siqing thought he was afraid, but Qi Wenliang hardened up in a rare way.

He was still smiling, and his voice was gentle enough, "Where you put them back, you can bring them back to me."

"My lord is quick to handle things, quick to grasp and quick to release, you are so impatient, have you found anything?"

Dali Siqing, who found nothing, was speechless.

He still wanted to say a few more words, but he heard Qi Wenliang say softly: "I know that the person who has been arrested must have some status, and it will be difficult to keep you locked up. But I have to trouble you to invite him again, just say I asked him to come. I don’t feel at ease if I don’t ask myself about some things.”

Dali Siqing was a little shaken.

But he is in charge of a temple after all, how can he change his mind so quickly, is it shameless?

He was going to evade a few words before agreeing, but Qi Wenliang spoke again.

"Think clearly. If you delay the time by calling someone, the responsibility is mine; if you insist on wasting time here and delay the time, the responsibility is yours."

Dali Temple Minister: "..."

All right, let's go (Grievance Baba.jpg)

With both soft and hard tactics, he finally got the person away, and Qi Wenliang brought Qi Zi'an into the house to check the files.

Qi Zi'an acted cutely, silently appreciating the rare moment of fierceness of the emperor's brother.

After reviewing the records of the case, the two also understood why Dali Siqing was so unconfident.

Simply put, he has reached a dead end.

He searched in the direction of vendetta, but that scholar really has no enemies.

He is not a local, and after traveling all the way to the capital, he studied hard in closed doors, pointing to the fact that he could get a good grade in this exam.

Others are poor, and in order to save money, even basic interpersonal communication is avoided.

Not to mention going out to make enemies with people.

There are no two people I know, so where are the enemies.

At such a time, he really had to find a breakthrough from the person who wooed him.

Fortunately, although Dali Siqing had a sharp tongue, he was quick to do things, and he invited people here after only a short while of reading the file.

Seeing the person coming, Qi Wenliang was also taken aback.

No wonder the Minister of Dali Temple released him before. It turned out that the person involved in the case was an uncle.

This "uncle" is not an adjective.

Because the person who came was the eldest brother of the first emperor, that is, the great grandfather of Qi Wenliang.

This man has no intention of competing for the position, he is an idle prince, the first emperor spared his life, and the current emperor will also provide for him well.

He usually raises flowers and birds, and occasionally invites cats to tease dogs. He has done a few ridiculous things because of his seniority, all of which are insignificant but annoying.

I didn't expect this time to be related to the murder case.

Although he relies on the old to sell the old, he still knows current affairs.

The Minister of Dali Temple went to invite him, and he came again.

When he saw someone, he greeted him, "It's His Royal Highness! Why did you call me here again? I really have nothing to do with that person. It was the first time I saw you at the poetry meeting yesterday."

"Even what his name is and where he lives, it took me a long time to think about it. Even if you ask me how long, you can't ask me anything else."

Qi Wenliang saluted first, "I haven't seen Uncle for a long time, is Uncle okay?"

"Please come, I do have something to ask."

"You ask, you ask." Uncle said cheerfully.

"I just want to ask, what's so special about the deceased. Uncle's eyes are discerning, what is it about him?"

It was originally a very common question, but the uncle suddenly choked up.

But soon he reacted.

"What's so special about it! I go to the poetry fair just to join in the fun, and I will subsidize one or two if I have a good eye. It's like choosing a cat or a dog. There is no determinism."

Dali Siqing didn't expect Qi Wenliang to ask such a meaningless question, so he quickly interrupted: "Your Highness, don't ask nonsense if you don't understand, it's time for the old prince to think about what kind of enemies that scholar has..."

Before he could finish speaking, a person stumbled in.

"My lord! Something happened!"

He gasped and said, "Another...another one died!"
