i am afraid

Although he was also thinking about the two brothers Zhou Ping'an, the matter of Mingxinyuan was still the most important thing. Jiang Yan suppressed his temper and let Gu Xi investigate.

He doesn't have many people under his command, but Gu Xi is different from him. He has been dormant in the officialdom for a long time, and the experience he has accumulated is immeasurable. He understands the operation of every place, and he can get twice the result with half the effort.As for Gu Xi, he was wary at first, but after Sixth Uncle and Jiang Taifu's reminders, he knew that, at least for now, the interests between Gu Xi and him were common, so there was no need to be wary.

This time the incident was a bit big. Even though he had been prepared for a long time and knew that Li Heng was going to play tricks, Gu Xi never thought that he would spend so much money. You know, although Dali Temple is only a third-rank yamen, it is in charge of Serious criminal cases in various places are almost the same as that of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The only difference is that Dali Temple is more inclined to try cases, while the Ministry of Criminal Justice generally makes judgments.The Minister of Dali Temple is from the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice has always been united with the Ministry of Justice. Gu Qi couldn't figure out what kind of muscle Li Heng was suffering from. Don't care, just to frame Mingxinyuan once?

In fact, no one was more wronged than Li Heng. He was planning to make something happen to make Mingxinyuan change its principal, but he never thought of using the life of the son of a third-rank official to accomplish this!Dali Siqing is nothing, so what if it was really his fault?But this is related to a person's reputation. If he is rumored to be a person who uses his colleagues' unscrupulous methods, who will come to him?This is simply a loss-making business.

Dali Siqing has only one legitimate son, and after thinking about it, he knows that after he guessed what happened, he must hate Li Heng very much.

prison

Su Xiao squatted against the wall with his knees hugged. Ji Xiao was sitting beside him. Not far away, Lin Ziqing was standing by the cell door with a gloomy expression.

"It's good that the others weren't caught together." Ji Xiao seemed to be comforting himself, and said softly, "It's good to take Lin Sheng's life, let him bully others."

Lin Ziqing said in a low voice, "It's all my fault."

"It has nothing to do with you, we were all impulsive. But how did that bastard Lin Sheng die?" Su Xiao shook his head and said, "We were all together at the time, and no one touched him, so he just fell down like that Yes, I think this matter is strange."

Ji Xiao said: "Who cares how he died? I saw that he was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his death was horrific, and it was so sudden. The incompleteness is the retribution from heaven."

At that time, a passerby couldn't help but push Lin Sheng, and hit him on the head with his hand, but anyone could see that it was an accident, and the force was extremely light.

Unable to figure out how such a terrible situation came about, Su Xiao stopped thinking about it, and instead comforted Lin Ziqing: "Don't worry, we didn't do it or we didn't do it. Disputes, but no one hit hard, there are so many people present, someone will always see."

Before Lin Ziqing opened his mouth, Ji Xiao was already howling.

"Prince Su! Are you so stupid? What kind of place is this? The black prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice! A place where there is death but no life, and they lock us in without even asking. It's clear that they want us to die!"

Lin Ziqing's face turned cold, but he didn't refute. Su Xiao said "ah" and said suspiciously, "Someone doesn't like Mingxinyuan?"

With the eyesight of these people, they still can't see other deeper places. They just feel that the policy proposed by the person on the dragon chair is in the way of someone's eyes. Su Xiao wants to start with them, Su Xiao takes a deep breath.

"This time, it's really troublesome."

"Not necessarily." Lin Ziqing said coldly, "Your Majesty will not watch us die."

This is not a matter of the lives of a few of their unknown men, but the first decision made by the new king since the Yuan Dynasty. It is related to the majesty of the king. As long as the person sitting on the dragon chair has a brain, he will not let them Personally die.

Ji Xiao obviously also wanted to go with Lin Ziqing, so his face was impatient but not disturbed. He thought for a while and said, "Did you get involved with the Lin family, and did you deliberately target Ziqing? Who's involved?"

When Su Xiao was told by Lin Ziqing, he immediately recovered a little confidence. Hearing Ji Xiao's words, he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "If it wasn't for Lin Sheng who died, I would still think that the Lin family did it."

A small Lin family is naturally nothing. What Su Xiao meant was that the Lin family colluded with others. Think about the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment standing behind the Lin family, and think about the places that Li Heng sent out for his son a few days ago. It is clear at a glance what is right and what is wrong.

The analysis by a few people really led them to find some clues, but they didn't care too much, no matter whether their ideas were correct or not, even if they were, people were locked here, what they found out was true, so what?

The black prison fell into silence. After a while, Ji Xiao's voice sounded quietly: "Actually, do you think that it is possible that Lin Sheng died so miserably because of something that collided with him?"

No one paid any attention to him, and it was not until a long time later that Lin Ziqing said softly, "Let's stay here for a night before we talk about it." He couldn't see his fingers in the dark cell, and he could speak and move based on his feeling. If he wanted to stay here for a long time, Impossible at all, falling asleep is a good thing.

Gu Xi took the errand, but the first thing he did was not to investigate the case, but to pay a visit to the frightened Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. After exchanging pleasantries, he slowly put forward his request.

"Whether the students of Mingxinyuan killed anyone or not, no one knows until the truth of the case is revealed, but being locked up in a black prison is too much, Master Shangshu, what do you think?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment originally wanted to repay favors, and he didn't mean to argue with Gu Xi. He asked his confidant to bring a message, and he let Gu Xi go in to pick him up. Su Xiao and the others hadn't fully fallen asleep yet, the dazzling light sweep them away.

Gu Xi was with his back to the light. He strode forward, his whole body seemed to be bathed in the light, which made people's hearts tremble uncontrollably.

Su Xiao narrowed his eyes, and before he had time to speak, Gu Xi had already spoken: "Come with me, and tell me the whole thing."

Ji Xiao is the best at talking, and he is also clever. Seeing this, he immediately said: "Thank you for this..." He paused, and his eyes fell on Gu Xi. Although Gu Xi was wearing casual clothes, they still had standards , the brocade robes are embroidered with ink, and the pattern of the crown belt is also particular. Clothes like this, except for first-rank officials, can be worn by other people, and it is a violation of the law.

He reacted very quickly, looked at Gu Xi's face that could still be called a young man, smiled, and said, "This is Prime Minister Gu?"

Gu Qi smiled slightly. He had too many things to do and hardly had time to relax, so he just nodded slightly.

Knowing Gu Qi's identity, Su Xiao and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of the rest. What they were afraid of was being regarded as an unnecessary existence in this game. Being able to send a prime minister to take charge of this matter at least showed that they were in charge of the matter. In His Majesty's heart, they still have some weight.

Gu Xi is not proficient in investigating cases, but he has a brain, and after a brief look at the process, he continued to ask questions step by step.

He is busy here, and Jiang Yan is not very leisurely in the palace. He is worried about both sides and turns back and forth.

"Your Majesty, the most taboo thing about learning calligraphy is restlessness." Jiang Xiaofeng said.

Jiang Yan didn't refute. His heart was indeed restless, and he couldn't bear to practice calligraphy. What he was thinking about now was how to deal with the matter of Mingxinyuan, and Zhou Ping'an's anxious face just now. If you don't come back, things will be difficult.

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a while, and said for the first time: "If your majesty doesn't want to continue practicing, you can take a day off today and start tomorrow."

Jiang Yan nodded quickly in response, he had too many things to deal with, not to mention that today's memorial has not yet been approved.

On the way back from Wenhua Pavilion, Jiang Yan somehow came to the place where he saw Yin Jiang playing the piano last time. In fact, he realized it after only a few steps. He tried to walk back, but There is just no way to bring your gaze back from afar.

That day, it was said that Yin Jiang spent most of his time there, and he was right. Yin Jiang liked to play the piano by the pavilion, and the sight of the warm sun in spring could melt one's heart.

Jiang Yan didn't know what was wrong with him, he would always unconsciously put his eyes on a person, and he felt warm when he saw him, but he was very sure that he had no feeling for Yin Jiang's appearance, Yin Jiang Jiang Sheng looks a bit ordinary, not ugly, but for some reason, just looking at that face makes me feel unhappy.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath, stopped thinking about these things, tried not to disturb Yin Jiang, turned around silently, and left.

Yin Jiang's piano sound paused for a moment, but it didn't stop. After one song, the lingering sound lingered.

The sound didn't sound like playing a piano, but it sounded like a drum beating in his heart. Jiang Yan covered his heart, with a dazed look in his eyes.

Jiang Yan got into the carriage almost in a state of embarrassment. He tried his best not to think about Yin Jiang, and let his attention focus on the matter of Mingxinyuan.

Gu Qi's efficiency was very fast. Back in the palace, Jiang Yan had just finished approving the memorial, and he had sorted out the news from Su Xiao and the other three and handed it in.

Naturally, asking him to take charge of this matter is not just about doing this step well, he is just reporting the news he has received. In fact, when Jiang Yan read what he handed in, Gu Xi had already started to investigate the case. .
