Chapter 140 Interesting

Long Yan was furious.

Weng Ke was so scolded that he couldn't do anything, and wanted to ask someone for help.

Looking to the left, Qin Yin's ferocious appearance made him want to eat people; looking to the right, Lin Fan's expression was clueless, but Chi Yiwei was the one handling the case.

Looking forward, Eunuch Xu watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

Weng Ke cursed in his heart, "Hunter".

A few years ago, this eunuch did not miss the benefits of Concubine Shun. As a result, when his younger sister was favored, he ran happily as the icing on the cake; recently, his younger sister was neglected by the emperor because of the Second Highness, and there was no shadow of sending charcoal in the snow.

It is absolutely impossible to expect him to say good things for himself with this kind of stuff.

Weng Ke had no choice but to bite the bullet, obey the emperor's will, and climb out of the imperial study backwards using hands and feet.

Then, honestly reported to the Chiyiwei yamen.

He did act as a middleman for Ma Gui, but he had no knowledge of Ma Gui's identity as a spy.

Whether it is greed for money or good face, Weng Ke can admit any crime, but when it comes to collaborating with the enemy, he must explain it to Lin Fan.

This is not only related to him, but also to the whole family of Uncle Zhongqin's house.

The trouble on the tree is the trouble, so far I haven't heard the rumors of indiscriminately accusing someone of a crime.

Thinking about it, I will seriously verify his testimony.

Before he had a good talk with Lin Fan, all he had to do was to be honest and not add fuel to the emperor's anger.

Ong Ke left.

Pointing to the big case with his fingertips, the emperor told Lin Fan with a sullen face: "Try carefully, you can't be careless about spies."

"We will definitely investigate carefully," Lin Fan replied, "In addition to Ma Gui and his buddies, there was also a Taoist priest who was also a spy a few years ago. I think, if we can find out the connection between the two, and follow the vine, maybe we can find it." More people with a heart."

The emperor said: "You have mastered it. If you want to interrogate the Taoist priest, just tell the national teacher."

Lin Fan said again: "Not only the National Teacher, if there is not enough manpower, I also want to borrow the power of the Third Division."

"Hmm." The emperor rolled his eyes.

The Chiyiwei is almost Lin Fan's voice. It is very important to catch spies, but it is also very important for someone to watch Lin Fan and prevent him from using public affairs for personal gain.

The officials of the third department will review together, so they are not afraid of Lin Fan's manipulation.

"Yes." The emperor said.

Lin Fan withdrew first to go to work, Qin Yin didn't leave, but took a step forward instead.

Marquis Yongning cupped his hands and said in a loud voice, "I invite you to send troops."

The emperor frowned, and said: "Aiqing, the spy has been lurking for a long time, and I don't know what to do, what can I do?"

"The ministers sent out troops, and the ones who ordered them were all generals, and together with the troops stationed at the border, they killed a prestige," Qin Yin said straightforwardly, "catching spies and trying cases is the business of Chi Yiwei and the third division, and they don't go to war , have nothing to do with each other."

emperor:……

The truth is that.

"The teacher is famous." The emperor took a sip of his tea and straightened his thoughts. "Wait for the results of the trial, there is a reason for sending troops."

Qin Yin disagreed with this: "Our Great Zhou, Nanshu, and Xiliang are not allies, and have never ceased fighting. If we want to fight, we will fight. What is the reason?"

"Okay," the emperor waved his hand, "Ai Qing, don't need to say too much, I don't agree to send troops now."

Qin Yin's remonstrance was refuted.

He had no choice but to resign.

Leaving from the imperial study, his face was full of anger, and when he returned to the Thousand Steps Corridor, the old Hou Ye was silent.

Everyone knows that the conversation between the monarch and his ministers is not smooth.

After sitting for a quarter of an hour, Qin Yin left early and returned to Hou's mansion on the grounds that he was unwell.

When he arrived in the mansion, Qin Yin was smiling again.

Firstly, the court's external mood was not brought back to the mansion, and secondly, his bad mood was just faking.

I just took this opportunity to mention that Marquis Yongning knew the emperor well and didn't expect the emperor to agree.

If the emperor could take the initiative to fight out just by catching a few spies, Qin Yin and other veteran generals who were in the main battle would have already sacrificed their lives on their own initiative.

In the main room, Mrs. Hou is using jujube cake.

Seeing Marquis Yongning come back, she glanced at him: "It's quite early today."

Qin Yin sat down, dismissed all the waiters, and told his old wife what had happened in a low voice.

Madam Hou thought for a while, and said, "Master Huang really cooperates like this?"

"In his eyes, everything he does is for Da Zhou, for the emperor, of course he will cooperate." Qin Yin said.

"When the emperor's cage is in the shadows and his suspicions are getting worse day by day, the courtiers have full confidence in the emperor and feel that he is omnipotent." Mrs. Hou sneered, "They are really interesting to the emperor and his ministers."

In the Chiyiwei yamen, Lin Fan asked about Weng Ke's condition carefully.

"That Ma Gui was brought by a middleman, and he promised a sum of money," Weng Ke said, "I recommended him to the yamen at that time, and I made it very clear. They figured it out by themselves.

If I know he is a spy, can I give him this way?
Grandpa, there is no one else here, so let me say this from the bottom of my heart, a few years ago, Concubine Shun was favored enough, right?Compared with the frail First Highness, the Second Highness is alive and well.

There is nothing wrong with the Weng family, how could I associate with spies! "

Lin Fan folded his arms, listening to Weng Ke babbling about "missing his eyes".

From his point of view, Weng Ke did not know.

Money is greedy, absolutely no courage to cooperate with the enemy.

However, if this case ends with Ma Gui, it would be a waste of Taishi Huang's "good intentions".

Lin Fan smiled, and said slowly: "You also said that Uncle Zhongqin's mansion was very smooth in those years, and you will not ruin your future, but have you ever thought that someone will harm you?"

Weng Ke was taken aback.

"The middleman," Lin Fan asked, "what's the origin?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lin Fan saw Weng Ke's face changed.

It wasn't anger or fear, but it was green and white, embarrassing and unbelievable.

"The second master trusts that middleman?" Lin Fan asked.

Weng Ke was embarrassed.

"If you don't tell me, Ma Gui will explain," Lin Fan said, "I don't guarantee what it will be like from Ma Gui's mouth."

Weng Ke was shocked.

What good things can Ma Gui say for such a meticulous work?
If it falls into the hands of Chi Yiwei, he must bite as many as he can. The more chaotic Da Zhou is, the happier he is.

"Yes," Weng Ke swallowed his saliva, "it's the servant of the Second Highness's palace."

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows: "A middleman is a middleman."

On the side, the red-clothed guard who recorded the documents burst out laughing.

This joke is very common.

But they're commanding, it's funny.

Weng Ke had a bitter face, and he couldn't laugh, but in order for Lin Fan to investigate the case properly, he gave a half-flattering, half-flattering laugh twice.

"Before the case is investigated," Lin Fan said, "The second master has been staying with us for a while, and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me."

How dare Weng Ke be picky.

It is inevitable to make money from the middleman, lose money, and be fined, but keep your tail tight, and your life will be safe.

It's better than being hacked as a spy.

At this time, Feng Jing's interrogation of those folks in Mizhuang was almost finished, and he came to see Lin Fan with his confession.

Lin Fan read it, and said to Feng Jing: "Go and invite the servant surnamed Hua who is next to the Second Highness. If the Second Highness refuses, let him take the servant to the Imperial Study Room. I will tell him in the Imperial Study Room."

After Feng Jing listened, he rubbed his stupefied face.

Although the Second Highness was a little messy, he didn't say that he would not let the servants come to the Yamen to answer.

Should, not be.

Ok.
