eye-catching

He promised the emperor to go back in three days, and this is already the second day.

It seems that to find out who killed the governor, it is impossible to go back tomorrow.

Fuyi sighed, now, he should sit in front of the case and review the memorial with a brush.

It is better to write a letter to let me know.

Thinking of this, Fuyi picked up the brush and started writing.

The governor died strangely, I may have to go back a few days later, don't worry.

After finishing writing, I asked someone to deliver it. At this moment, Yuan Qi came in with a bowl of red bean barley porridge.

"My lord, the porridge is ready."

The prince responded and picked it up to drink.

Yuan Qi stood where he was and asked, "My lord, are we unable to go back tomorrow?"

"Well, in a few days."

While talking, someone came to deliver the letter, Yuan Qi couldn't help being surprised and said: "You just sent the letter, so you're replying now?"

"Of course not."

The prince took the letter and read it.

My lord, the emperor fell off his horse yesterday, do you want to come back early?

He looked at it, and it was servant Lin who wrote the letter.

Yuan Qi watched the prince's brows frown all the time, and didn't dare to speak at this time, and asked cautiously: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Something happened to the emperor."

"emperor……"

Yuan Qi stopped talking, no wonder the prince looked so serious, he was only ready to accept this case today, something happened to the emperor, he must be going back.

"My lord, do you want to go back?"

Fuyi sighed and said, "If you go back, what about this case?"

"I have already promised my mother-in-law to find the prisoner, so if I go back now, wouldn't I be breaking my promise?" Fu Yi paused and said, "There is someone taking care of the emperor, I will go back later."

But what the emperor wants to see most is you.

Yuan Qi only said this in his heart, he knew that the prince was also in a dilemma, and he must be thinking of the emperor in his heart.

Don't make trouble yourself.

Yuan Qi withdrew, and Fuyi picked up the pen again, wanting to write a letter, but the brush didn't come down for a while, so after thinking about it, she put down the brush.

The next day, the prince came to the court, and all the officials in the court looked at each other in dismay. Why did the famous Prince Gong, who never attended court in the court, suddenly come here to attend the court?Could it be that it's fresh here?

The strangest thing is that Sima, who was already in prison, was released?

"The king came here to find out the death of Inspector Li. Everyone should know that the governor is the father-in-law of the king."

Over there Chang Shi replied: "My lord, didn't the Sima poison him?"

Fuyi glanced at Chang Shi, and then said, "Whether Chang Shi did it or not, you have the final say?"

Chang Shi immediately shut up.This prince has solved several major cases one after another, they know it.

"Who is the Justice?"

Fu Yi said loudly, she didn't seem to be nervous at all because of the strangeness here, on the contrary, she was even more aura.

"That's my humble minister."

A man stood up, bowed his head, with a submissive look.

"Okay, I'm asking you. Sima told me that you recently caught a local corrupt official. Is this true or not?"

"This matter is true."

Fuyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Then, is it true or false that you concealed the fact that he received money to appoint an official?"

Justice only lowered his head, and replied loudly: "I don't know about this matter."

"In that case, there is no more?" Fuyi smiled, "Anyway, the official has already been executed, and now there is no proof of death."

It was quiet in the court, and the needle could be heard. It seemed that the prince was really like the legend. Although he had a smile on his face, he was aggressive, as if he would not stop until he found out the truth.

"I don't know who is spreading rumors behind my back, and the local officials really didn't find out that there was money to appoint officials."

It seems that the judiciary has refused to admit it.

Fuyi changed the subject and asked, "Master Sima told me that you had a feud with him, is it true or not?"

Sima stood in the crowd, and after hearing this, he admired the courage of the prince. If the matter was left to the governor or the yamen, it must be due to the power of the judiciary, and he would not dare to make a big move.

"Weichen and Lord Sima have never had any feuds. If there is, I'm afraid it's because Lord Sima has lost his temper."

When the justice said this, he not only whitewashed himself, but also scolded Sima.

Fuyi laughed. It seems that this justice is not a person who will ask people to go to other people's wine shops to poison him and not deal with the aftermath at all.

"Well, if this is the case, I will send you two to investigate the assassin's death together, what do you think?"

"This……"

Chaoli began to talk a lot. When the prince came, he got Chaoli's old enemy Sima and Judiciary together. What's the meaning of this?

Not only other officials, but even Sima wanted to protest, but since the prince had told him in advance that he was not allowed to interfere, he quietly waited for the prince to deal with it.

"My lord's words, could it be that the prisoner is not Master Sima?"

Only then did Justice raise his head, and Fuyi finally saw his face clearly.Although the resolute face was covered with wrinkles, it couldn't stop the sense of majesty rushing towards him.

It seems that he is not an easy person to deal with. At this age here, if he has no tricks, he would have been gossiped.

Fuyi smiled and said: "This king said so, of course there is evidence."

He paused, and the smile on his face didn't fade, "I have found out that Lord Sima's servant went to buy wine on the second day of this month, and the wine was poisoned in the wine shop, so it was definitely not Sima's poison. And if you want to know when Lord Sima's servants go to buy wine every month, you are someone who is quite familiar with Lord Sima, what do you think?"

Judiciary only nodded and said, "I know."

Fuyi admired his calmness very much, she didn't even blink her eyes when faced with his question.

"Well, I will give you half a month to find out the real criminal!"

When the prince returned to the governor's mansion, Yuan Qi was catching birds for the prince in the yard boredly. When he saw the prince came back, he immediately went up to greet him.

"My lord, when you were out, someone delivered a letter. I'll put it on the case for you."

Hearing this, Fuyi immediately quickened her pace and went back to the house.

As soon as the letter was opened, there was a familiar font on it:

If you have something to do, come back later, you don't have to worry here, I'm fine.

After reading the last sentence, he was relieved.

He imagined that the man wanted to write such words to comfort himself while thinking about why he hadn't come back, and he felt so cute.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he told Yuan Qi, "Follow me to Yumu County!"

The corrupt official caught by the judiciary was the county lieutenant of Yumu County, whose name is Huang Xuanhao, who has been a county lieutenant here for decades, and everyone knows it.

Fuyi came here to confirm whether this person has received money to appoint an official.

As a county lieutenant, the luxury of the family is justified. After all, the monthly salary is so much, but if he collects so much money, there is nowhere to hide it.

Soon, Fuyi found out where Huang Xuanhao's hometown was.

Huang Xuanhao was a corrupt official, and originally wanted to ransack the house, but at that time the governor thought that his wife had died long ago, and there was no reunion, and there was only one old woman in the family, so he relented and didn't ransack the house, but took all the bribes he had received.

If this is the case, then, regarding the matter of collecting money and appointing officials, one can only get the official promotion book from the county magistrate, and one can see it at a glance.

Since the judiciary wants to conceal this matter, he must help someone conceal the matter of buying an official. Otherwise, even if he has a relationship with Sima, there is no need to ignore the crime of local officials collecting money to appoint officials. This is a felony.

When the county magistrate saw the prince, he greeted him with a smile, and gave the prince the official promotion book, and then he remembered that the prince suddenly came here to see this, is there something wrong?

"My lord, the promotion of this official has always been handed over to the county lieutenant. Is there any problem?"

"Give it to the county lieutenant?" Fuyi smiled, "The county magistrate is so busy, why did you give such a great power to the county lieutenant?"

The county magistrate wiped off his sweat and said with a smile: "My lord, you don't know, this county lieutenant Huang has a lot of power, and all the officials want to curry favor with him. The county magistrate, a small official, is not as prosperous as he is."

Fuyi frowned slightly, Huang Xuanhao hadn't been dead for a long time, and the magistrate dared to ridicule him in front of the prince.

Fuyi didn't speak any more, and flipped through the book.

It was a thick book, recording decades of official promotion records, and Fuyi turned to the end.

When he came, he asked Li Tingyan that the judiciary had a large number of followers in the court, Bie Jia had already resigned from office, and Chang Shi and Sima were old enemies. It seemed that Chang Shi was very suspicious.

"Is there any family member of Zhou Fang Zhou Changshi of Liangzhou working here?"

The county magistrate thought for a while, nodded and said: "I remember, I seem to have a younger brother who took office last year."

"What official position?"

"Cao Tian."

Fuyi nodded, it is not a small official position.

"You show me the pages."

Fuyi handed the book to the county magistrate, who flipped through it and handed it back to him.

The above clearly remembers that Zhou Fang's younger brother Zhou Yuan took office on October [-]th last year, and has been in office for half a year now.

"Are there any family members of other court officials working here? This king wants all of them."

Hearing what he said, the county magistrate had no choice but to nod. It would be really troublesome to find these people, but the county magistrate didn't know why the prince was looking at these things, so he had to do it.

Sure enough, it took a long time for the county magistrate to find these. The prince fell asleep on the rattan chair, and the county magistrate hadn't finished searching yet.

"My lord, I found that the birds here are not pretty."

Yuan Qi stood beside her and pouted, seemingly unhappy.

"Of course, no one here pays tribute to beautiful birds."

After Fuyi finished speaking, she thought of that person again, and the corner of her mouth curled into a smile.

"My lord! Find them all!"

The county magistrate's cry woke Fuyi from her dream.
