The first work of the imperial prison

"Should I call you Master Jiang, or the Third Prince's confidant, codenamed Red Bee?"

Ye Baiting's words made the room quiet again.

No one at the scene could have expected this direction. The murder case has been solved, the facts have become clear, the case should be closed and signed, the people in the hall should be locked up, and they should go away. Why did they suddenly turn up a more terrifying case? ?

Mrs. Yao's sinister smile froze immediately, and her heart was full of turmoil. She never thought that Jin Yiwei still had things to such an extent that they still kept things hidden!They knew that the Third Prince existed, and they also knew...

It was also the first time today that the two factory owners, the East and the West, had excessive emotional fluctuations on their faces, and even glanced at each other, and their hearts turned quickly.

The third prince... the organization... the confidants... these things are kept secret outside, only those like them who are very well-informed and pay special attention to such incidents can get a glimpse of the edges, but they dare not take any guesses, who knows How deep is the water?I didn't expect Beizhen Fusi to be so capable, and he has already touched the opponent's core...

Jin Yiwei in the hall is very calm, Shen Jiang is serious, even a little proud, it's just a little bit of work, what's so surprising?How many surprises are in the young master's mind, how many twists and turns in the stomach, you have not prepared until now?It's not that I said, you can't do it.

The commander on the seat was An Ruosu, he even picked up the teacup and drank a couple of sips, his expression was the same as before, as if he knew this would happen long ago, this time the questioning in the hall should be like this.

But Jiang Jihong could no longer remain silent: "I don't agree with Jin Yiwei's words. What is the third prince, and what is the red bee?"

"You also want to say that you don't understand anything, don't you know anything?"

Ye Baiting stared at him: "Master Jiang, do you dare to analyze it with me? Mrs. Yao dared to bite out Wei Shili because she judged from her experience that the loss would be the least. It's not bad for him to push it out, but why does Wei Shili dare to fight back and treat Lady Yao so disrespectfully?"

"Buying Wuxiang, buying and selling official positions, Mrs. Yao almost controls the entire pre-operation process, and her status is evident. Wei Shili is only responsible for 'punishing and removing' those disobedient people. He can be regarded as an alternative 'scavenger'. What rights does he have, or What status does he have, dare to challenge Mrs. Yao? His position is higher than Mrs. Yao? I can't see it all. If his ambition, ability and status are all higher than Mrs. Yao, then the work he is responsible for will definitely not be the only one."

Jiang Jihong's eyelids rolled slightly: "You also said that it was a matter of 'their organization', so what does it have to do with me? Why did I know about it?"

"Because he is not only a member of the organization, but also a member of you."

Ye Baiting sneered: "Wei Shili can say that he is very capable, but the reality is impossible. The bureaucracy is complicated, the official business is huge, there are so many things to be busy every day, and there are so many things to deal with. The emperor's answer, Priorities, why don't you need real skills? He blatantly manipulated the "official position trading" under your nose, treating you as dead? You have been in charge of the bureaucracy for so many years, the city is extremely deep, and your eyes are sharp. Would you allow this to happen to your subordinates? Are you in charge of the bureaucracy? Are you a minister, or are you just a useless puppet? Others have already emptied you? Wei Shili said that he can overwhelm you and control the entire bureaucracy. Why do I look so different? "

The factory owner Fu Lixing gave the young master a thumbs up in his heart.

Look at what you said, how good it is, but whoever has been in the top position for a long time and has a heart, who would be willing to be excluded and admit that he has become a puppet and can't handle young people?If Jiang Jihong dared to say that he was right, he would be a stick. The entire bureaucracy had already been taken over by Wei Shili. How to look up outside?Not to mention that he may not be able to do it as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and I am afraid he will not be able to get along elsewhere!

Jiang Jihong was indeed very unhappy, and he did object to Ye Baiting's words: "This official is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. No matter how clever and cunning Wei Shili is, he can't surpass this official!"

"So Wei Shili did these things with your approval?"

Jiang Jihong narrowed his eyes: "I just felt that he was making some small moves, but I didn't know that he was so courageous. I thought that young people need to experience, and when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Let him go first, but I don't know... ...This time, it was indeed my official's carelessness, and I made one or two mistakes."

"One or two mistakes?" Ye Baiting fingertips brushed over the thick evidence of a dozen official business transactions, "Master Jiang calls this one or two mistakes?"

Jiang Jihong: ...

"Master Jiang is not just careless, is he? You just said that the official department is still your official department, Wei Shili is still under your control, listen to your words, but he dared to bite Lady Yao, why? Who gave him the courage? Wasn't it... ...and you, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Jihong: "This official is only in charge of the Ministry of Officials, not other matters."

Ye Baiting's eyes were sharp: "Master Jiang, don't be modest, you and Mrs. Yao are both subordinates of the third prince, and work for him together. Mrs. Yao's status is not low. You are even more important, Mr. Jiang. Even Mrs. Yao has to listen to you." You dispatched, didn't you?"

"Ms. Yao is in charge of the preliminary selection, Wu Xiang and the promotion chain, but Mrs. Yao was actually selected and promoted by you, right? You not only trained Mrs. Yao, but also searched for other various things for the third prince. Talents, and even bring them around to cultivate them, right or wrong!"

Jiang Jihong narrowed his eyes, and there was angered viciousness in his eyes.

Ye Baiting realized that she was right, and glanced at the young people in the hall: "Miss Yao has already taken care of herself, so you don't need to keep an eye on her all the time, you just need to take care of her when she makes mistakes or difficulties, and now you can focus on cultivating her." It's these two young people—Wei Shili and Fang Zhizhu."

Because Wei Shili had just been dragged to plead guilty, his emotions had been on the verge of breaking out. At this moment, he couldn't hold back at all, and looked at Ye Baiting with some horror.

Fang Zhizhu was very calm, his eyes did not move, his hands and feet did not move, as before, he kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, and stood in a very calm posture.

Ye Baiting continued: "These two young people have their own courage and strong ability to handle affairs. They each have different specialties. For example, Wei Shili is outstanding in appearance, considerate, and decisive in situations. As long as Fang Zhizhu doesn't compare with Wei Shili, his looks He is also considered Qingjun, considerate and flattering, can talk, and acts like a spring breeze, which makes people very comfortable, as long as he thinks, there is basically nothing he can't do, can't accomplish..."

"There is only a two-year age difference between the two of them, and they were recruited at the same time. They should have had private contacts and a certain friendship, but their behavior trajectory is different from that of all young people in the officialdom. The two of them competed fiercely, and even turned against each other. ——This kind of ecology is deliberately guided by Mr. Jiang, right? You want them to compete, you are putting pressure on them, you want them to grow up quickly, and be stronger than ordinary young people, even much stronger."

"Let me make a bold guess, are you choosing a substitute for the third prince?"

Jiang Jihong's eyes froze, but he recovered after only a moment.

But who is Ye Baiting, who has been staring at the other person's expression intently since just now, how could he miss this momentary change?

"After all, it's too dangerous for the third prince to do such a 'big thing', and he has exposed so many lies. Once the real body shows up, he will be hunted down by Jin Yiwei immediately. What if he is caught? Is such a big business to be picked? Of course No, it's better to put some smoke bombs in front, how many substitutes can you prepare?"

Ye Baiting calmly said: "Since it's a substitute for the third prince, it has to be of the same age, young, not too ugly, and the best temperament has to be expensive. How can a person who wants to plot rebellion be timid? Now that you have started to train them, not only do you have to teach them how to do things and routines, but you also have to make them courageous... That's why Wei Shili dared to fight Miss Yao, right?"

"Maybe he didn't even realize that his uncontrollable arrogance, his high-mindedness, made him look down on Mrs. Yao. Although he is only doing things like 'scavenger' now, his status in the organization is far inferior to that of Yao. Lady, but he doesn’t think it’s a big deal. He thinks that Lady Yao only wins because of her time, she joined the organization earlier, or she wins because of her identity as a woman. There are many conveniences that he doesn’t have, but that’s all. I can catch up with her, but Mrs. Yao is also very tempered, and her wrists are very hot, so there is some quarrel between the two..."

"Ms. Yao dared to bite him out. It was a deliberate decision. Wei Shili dared to bite him back because he felt that he was underestimated. How dare a woman bite him and give him up? She deserves it? But after he bit back, he realized that Mistake, this matter cannot be expanded..."

Ye Baiting turned to Wei Shili: "Why did you suddenly calm down and cooperate with the confession? It shouldn't be forced by me or suppressed by the evidence presented by Shen Qianhu. It's more because you want the matter to stop here, right? You may not be willing. Listen to Mrs. Yao's words, pay for her, but willing to pay for others and protect others, because this person is your mentor, your guide, knows all your secrets, and will find ways to get you and protect you. You cleared the way, didn't you?"

Wei Shili glanced at Jiang Jihong, pursed his lips tightly, and did not speak.

Ye Baiting looked at Jiang Jihong, his eyes were stern and radiant: "And you, Mr. Jiang, the third prince's confidant, code-named Red Bee, everything you do is for the third prince, including these Gu, I guess it's right. ?”

This is all the things he has gained from this case until now, he speculates!

The room fell into silence, and no one spoke, or they might be organizing their language, thinking about how to say it properly.

Ye Baiting didn't wait long, and turned to Fang Zhizhu: "You are not a careless character. You left the handkerchief in the room on the third floor, but you want to secretly guide Jin Yiwei to pay attention to this place? You want to expose this because you are dissatisfied with Wei Shili. Do you still feel that you are underestimated? Do you think you should have been promoted to the position of servant?"

Fang Zhizhu was much more frank than Ji Hong: "I don't deny this matter, but there was intentional behavior. You are right. I don't like Wei Shili, very much."

Ye Baiting: "How much do you know and how much have you participated in the sale and purchase of official positions?"

"Not much," Fang Zhizhu shook his head, "After all, he is in the same official office, and his official duties are intersected. I can probably guess some of what he did, but you have also seen that he was promoted, not me. The Shangguan is still in the investigation stage for me, and my colleagues are not very friendly. I need to be careful everywhere. I don’t want to touch too many secrets, but anyone who wants to touch them will be blocked immediately. The 'insider information' you just mentioned, I am also It’s the first time I heard—it turns out that Mr. Jiang is training me? It’s cautious and probing, but also secretive, I thought you were suppressing me.”

Jiang Jihong snorted coldly: "It's not time for you to know, and you don't even have the patience. How can it become a major event in the future?"

Fang Zhizhu lowered his eyes, smiled, and the corners of his lips were full of sarcasm: "I thought that being considerate in everything, being considerate in everything, and striving to be the best would always have my own sky, but it turns out that I am just a tool in other people's networks. "

Ye Baiting felt something, and looked at Jiang Jihong: "Master Jiang wants to talk?"

Jiang Jihong ignored him, as if he was very dissatisfied with him, his aura changed, it was no longer forbearance and reticence before, it became sharper, stronger, his eyes swept across the hall, and finally fell on Qiu Yiqing, There is a bloody murderous look: "The commander is sure, do you want me to say these things here?"

This is recognized!

But just seeing the sneer on his face, Ye Baiting was sure that the old fox might not cooperate, and wanted to take something out of his mouth, and it was a bit of a grind.

It is impossible for Qiu Yiqing to be afraid, and his expression is more stable than the other party: "I have to change places."

Jiang Jihong's eyes were dark: "I won't go to prison."

Qiu Yiqing sneered: "You really want to."

"You are beautiful!" Shen Jiang came directly with shackles, "Do you think whoever wants to go to the prison can go? You have to explain everything first, cooperate with Jin Yiwei to identify and sign for custody, and you can only be transferred if you are convicted!"

When their Beizhen Fusi is the kind of place where things are done casually, they can do whatever they want!

There are too many things involved in Jiang Jihong, the third prince's confidant, if he confesses a little bit, it may cause an uproar. He may lie, but Beizhen Fusi has to pay attention to it. In the process, people in the organization may be involved, or people in the organization may be involved. To identify any address, others need to be summoned to Beizhen Fusi to confront and cooperate. It is not convenient to be locked in the depths of the imperial prison. Beizhen Fusi has plans for various situations. Jiang Jihong has a special place for detention.

As for Wei Shili, the crime of murder is true, the evidence is listed, and there are all witnesses and statements. He must be taken directly to the imperial prison. If there are any details about the case to be added later, he will also need to be transferred at any time.

"what about me?"

Fang Zhizhu saw that Qiu Yiqing arranged the two officials neatly, and frowned slightly: "Do you want to stay here too? Lock it up? It's not impossible. After all, it will delay my business for a few days, and I will still be released." go back."

Qiu Su Qingqing's eyebrows were clear: "Beizhen Fusi did not detain people without reason."

In this murder case, including the Wuxiang chain involved, the sale of official positions, Fang Zhizhu was aloof, and he was indeed suspected, but Jin Yiwei did not find any evidence about him. The speculation is clear, and he intends to guide him. He did not really participate in the sale of Wuxiang and the sale of official positions. All the chains of evidence found, including many details, have no trace of him. Under Jiang Jihong's instruction, Wei Shili asked to do the calculation.

As he said, he did know something, but he didn't touch the real core. It seemed that many secrets were not disclosed to him during the investigation period organized by the Third Prince.

There is no evidence to prove that he has committed a crime. Of course, Fusi Beizhen has no reason to detain him. Later, he will be invited to the side hall. Based on what he knows, he can make some additions to the details of the case, and then he can leave, but he is not allowed to leave for a short time In the capital, Jin Yiwei will ask any follow-up questions.

Fang Zhizhu understood, and cupped his hands: "If the commander is worried about the subordinate officials, you can send someone to monitor them. If there is any problem, the subordinate officials will cooperate."

Ye Baiting said in his heart that of course we should focus on it in a short period of time. The Third Prince's organization should not be underestimated. He always felt that Fang Zhizhu's existence was a little subtle, and there might be something hidden that he didn't say, and it was not certain that it would cause more disturbances later.

Next came the two factory owners.

The case was finished, but the work of Qiu Yiqing and Shen Jiang was not over. There was a lot of work to do next, so Ye Baiting stood up: "Shall I send the two factory owners?"

"No, no, young master stay, stay-"

"Our family knows the way, and I went out after strolling by myself—"

R&F, Ban and An had kind smiles on their faces, and they were extremely polite.

The two of them glanced quietly at Qiu Yiqing behind them, looked at Ye Baiting in front of them, and realized once again that Fusi Beizhen should not be messed with.The Commander is certainly powerful, he can guard the borders of Anbang from afar, and can solve crimes and arrest murderers in the near future. The young master is also very powerful. He doesn't look like a mountain, and he is no different from an ordinary young man, but his clear eyes reflect the good and evil of the human heart , What turns around in the abdomen is the strategy of confronting the evil, and the superb skill of dissecting the corpse, what is there that he can't see through, break through, or level?

Even if these two people have no special relationship, if you can't hug the commander's thigh, it's enough to hug the young master!

Seeing that the surrounding area was already busy, the Jinyi guards ran forward and back, and no one paid attention to this side, Fulihang quietly pulled Ye Baiting, and whispered: "Have you ever considered...the future, the young master?"

Ye Baiting blinked, but didn't understand: "In the future?"

Fu Lixing smiled enthusiastically, and his eyes slid over the small gold bracelet on his wrist: "Look at you, you are still wearing a sinful body, and it is not convenient to go anywhere with this little bell? No matter where you want to be in the future, What do you want to do? There are many friends and many paths. Behind our Dongchang is the palace lady. Our master, you know, is powerful and has wrists. If she wants to protect someone, there is absolutely nothing she can't protect. After so many years, I can still be considered rich and powerful, these daily treasures, delicacies from mountains and seas...Young master, would you consider it?"

Ban He'an just laughed, still quite mockingly sneering: "Master Fu is smart, don't use this to bluff people, right? In this imperial city, ladies and wives are constantly fighting for favor and climbing up. What is the picture? Is it really the emperor's favor? Fading and love, some things can't be kept. To avoid suspicion, you have to go outside, who can sit in the palace from beginning to end?"

Of course it's someone like the Emperor, the Empress Dowager!

He finished speaking meaningfully, clapped his head, and cupped his hands at Ye Baiting: "Changle Palace has long since set in the west, and our family thinks it's better not to join in the fun. If the young master doesn't consider my West Factory, he has a serious responsibility to solve the case. The work is still easy, you will be free, you can do whatever you want, and you will be tired, let alone play with seafood, the good days in the future will last for a long time... I heard that your father's case is still unsolved. Not sure, the Empress Dowager has been in power for many years and knows many old people well, so she will definitely be able to help..."

Fulixing quit: "You know what, why is my Changle Palace at sunset, what is the order of the former emperor?"

Ban He'an: "You always talk about the late emperor, so where does your Changle Palace put the present day?"

"Young master, don't listen to him, follow our family, you will never be worse!"

"Young master, don't listen to him, be careful of one wrong step, one wrong step, you might as well follow our family!"

As the two talked, their voices gradually became louder, which would naturally attract others...

"What are the two factory owners talking to my envoy's assistant, louder, so that this envoy can listen too?" Qiu Xunqing came over.

Like a chicken whose neck was suddenly stuck, the two of them silenced instantly and retreated quickly.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Beizhen Fusi is busy, so our family won't bother you, so let's take my leave, take my leave—"

"You don't need to send them off, young master, please take care of your health. If you have something to do, feel free to send someone to the branch. I don't know how the two boxes of fireworks were used last time. Do you like them? If you don't like them, you can tell our family at any time..."

"Let's go, both of you."

Ye Baiting sent the person away with a smile, only to realize that Qiu Yiqing's face was a bit wrong, it seemed a little too dark?

Qiu Yiqing's face was more than black, and his voice was deep: "They dare to miss you."

Ye Baiting: ...

"I'm not going with them."

Qiu Yiqing looked unhappy, staring at the back of the other party who had disappeared a long time ago: "They dare to dig a corner of my wall!"

"It's not necessarily poaching," Ye Baiting sighed with a smile, "The two factory owners have clear minds, how can they not guess my mind? I will follow the commander and will definitely not leave. They say that, it should be a way of showing respect, Tell me I'm worth it, or express closeness so they can use it later if they need it."

Qiu Yiqing's face was still not good-looking, although he didn't speak, he grabbed his hand.

... It is considered to be the first time in public.

This man is sometimes very rational, and he has to reflect on himself when he is reasonable. Is his mind full of thoughts that shouldn't be? Sometimes he is overbearing and naive and unreasonable. Brainstorming... Stupid or not.

Ye Baiting glanced left and right, and gently scratched the other's palm: "Let's not talk about this, Jiang Jihong, do you want to apply in person?"

After a pause, Qiu Yiqing coughed: "Don't give him such a big face, let's cool down first."

"Then do you want to go back to sleep for a while?"

Ye Baiting looked at Qiu Yiqing's face, feeling a little worried, the redness in his eyes really increased: "I know you have good physical strength and can carry it, but there are more things you need to do later, others can't do it for you. Take a break, eh?"

Qiu Yiqing did not refuse this time, and looked deeply into Xiao Zuo's eyes: "...You accompany me."

"Okay."

The case was solved and the person was arrested. Ye Baiting didn't have any burdens. He dragged Qiu Suqing back to the room, had a late lunch, stared at him and drank the bitter medicine, and then shared a sweet and gentle kiss to accompany him. He went to bed to catch up on sleep.

I don't know if it was the effect of the medicine or something else, this time Qiu Yiqing fell asleep very quickly, but Ye Baiting took a beat slower and took a long time to fall asleep.

Originally, after each case was solved, it was the period of time when he was most at ease. Relaxation after being physically and mentally exhausted was the most healing and most comfortable. Unknown demons were running around in the dream, sweating profusely, whether it was from being frightened or the weather was too hot... He suddenly woke up and opened his eyes.

The sky is not dark outside, only a little twilight, and the unfinished sunset glow spreads across the sky, like blood-colored residual red.

Qiu Xunqing didn't wake up.

This is rare, but Ye Baiting also knows that this is a normal phenomenon, and it should be the second side effect of taking the medicine, falling into lethargy.

Gently sliding his fingertips across the man's face, Ye Baiting pursed his lips. This was the first time he saw this man so unguarded, sleeping so purely and peacefully. Sure enough, good-looking people are always good-looking.

He didn't try to wake up Qiu Yiqing. He asked the doctor about this side effect before. The doctor said don't worry, and don't worry. Once the commander enters this state, it's useless to do anything, and he can't wake him up. He can only wait for him to wake up. , It may be a few hours, it may be a day or two, or a few days, this is a necessary stage, as long as it passes, it will be a lot of success.

Ye Baiting leaned over slightly, and pressed a light kiss on the corner of the man's lips.

Wake up quickly, Commander-sama.

The night was getting darker, the surroundings were quiet, Beizhen Fusi was heavily guarded, the Jinyi guards were all around, and the commander was also by his side, but for some reason, Ye Baiting still felt uneasy.

He simply got up and walked around Beizhen Fusi, the guards outside, the inside on duty, including the prisoners in the prison... He even saw the dogs himself, everything was as usual, there was nothing wrong.

In the dead of night, at [-] o'clock, the hourglass outside the window was beeping softly, the lamp in front of the desk was blown, someone knocked on the door, and a letter came in.

When Ye Baiting unfolded it, his fingertips tensed up.

The content of the letter was very ordinary, nothing was wrong, it said that the night was long and the moon was beautiful, and he was invited to have a talk on the boat, but the letter was not signed, who wrote it, who invited it, I don’t know .

However, the word 'ship' has a lot of presence these days. At this time, it's hard not to associate this word with the power of the Third Prince.

Ye Baiting lowered his eyes, burned the letter, and did not move.

As if knowing that he would not go, the next letter will arrive soon, this time there are only six words in the letter——

If you don't come, you will die.

There was also a token attached to the letter, which made Ye Baiting lose his composure.
