The Witty Life of the Three Young Masters

Chapter 11
Gu Heng and Pei Lun looked at each other, they couldn't help but shook their heads and smiled wryly, so they could only salute again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"

The ministers couldn't help being a little startled, both sides seemed to have been beaten fifty times, but the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was greatly humiliated.Besides, the third prince was obviously the instigator, but the emperor came to a conclusion in this conversation and easily erased his crimes. It can be seen that the third prince is quite holy!
The emperor went on to say: "Since there is still something strange about the Jin Palace, let's continue to investigate. Whether it's a coincidence or a conspiracy, but the majesty of the royal family is involved, how can the villains be so presumptuous. Pei Aiqing, it's up to you Dali Temple assisted in this!"

Pei Lun replied: "I will assist His Royal Highness King Jin and the third prince to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"It's so good." The emperor suddenly said to Gu Heng: "Ziheng, Qin Tianjian has calculated that there will be an auspicious day in a month. How about you marry Princess Zhaoyi?"

Gu Heng bowed and said: "It's up to His Majesty to decide."

The emperor clapped his hands and said: "Very good, then, dear friends, do you still have something to report?"

All the ministers said nothing happened.

The emperor said loudly: "Retire."

When a group of people came out of the palace, Pei Lun saluted Gu Heng and said, "As for the matter just now, I would like to thank Your Highness for your righteous words and help."

Gu Heng hurriedly helped him up: "Hey, Sir Pei, you don't need to be too polite. Besides, that incident happened because of me, and it caused you to lose half a year's salary! Please don't blame me, my lord. Young people are impulsive, haha."

The prince came over from the side, and interjected: "That's right, Ziheng, don't mess around like this next time, and reflect on your own mistakes when you go back."

Gu Heng responded with a smile.

Pei Lun hurriedly saluted the prince again, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with His Royal Highness Prince Jin, His Royal Highness is courageous and resourceful in his actions, and he is decisive in killing!"

The prince patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, Mr. Pei, let's not mention this matter in the past. I still need to ask you to help me with the affairs of the family in the future."

Pei Lun replied: "My lord, don't worry, what you can do, you can define it."

What he said was not false, this dispute between the court and the party had already made him disheartened and wanted to retire and return to his hometown.Who would have thought that this would be pulled back from the cliff by the third prince?

Just saying that His Highness the Prince's actions, he admired them quite a lot, and beheading the thief made him feel very happy, making him seem to have returned to the good old days when he was young and acted recklessly.He has also heard about the affairs in the palace, regardless of whether he stands on the sidelines or not, after all, this is an errand assigned by the emperor himself, and he still has to do his best to complete it.

The prince smiled and said: "Come to the house for a light meal when you have time, so let's take our leave first."

Pei Lun cupped his hands: "My lord, just please."

Gu Heng also waved at him, and followed the prince.

Pei Lun thought to himself that it's not bad to stand on the side of the third prince.

And Xie Zhixuan had been waiting outside the hall for a long time at this moment, seeing that his expression was very dignified.Gu Heng hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Xie Zhixuan: "Your Highness, as you expected, that attendant is also dead."

"Ah?" Gu Heng was shocked, "Is this group of people crazy?"

You must know that this person is a messenger, and this will also be silenced. Are you really not afraid of exposing yourself because of this?
The prince didn't know what it was, Xie Zhixuan explained: "It's the spy from the house."

The prince suddenly realized, and said angrily: "They are really brave!"

You must know that no matter what, these people are all members of the palace on the surface, and the enemy's actions are really a bit unscrupulous.

Gu Heng asked: "Has the murderer been found? Didn't it mean that someone was arranged to watch outside the yard? Did that person see it?"

Xie Zhixuan shook his head: "The murderer is also dead. Our people watched the yard where he went all the way yesterday, and then stared not far outside the yard. It turned out that the murderer had actually been hiding in the yard, waiting for him After returning home, they violently attacked, and both of them died in the struggle. It was only because the attendant didn't go out today that he was discovered by the follower."

Gu Heng: "Where's his family?"

Xie Zhixuan: "Fortunately, his family members went out to visit relatives, and he is the only one in the family."

Gu Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "Since we already know the identity of the murderer, can we find out his past traces and see where he has been recently? I don't believe they can not leave a trace when they mess around like this."

Xie Zhixuan: "That's the truth, but the capital is so big, it will definitely be more difficult to check."

What did Gu Heng think of: "Send them a reward? Those who provide information will give money. With such a heavy reward, a lot of clues will be collected, right?"

Xie Zhixuan: "It's a good way, but you have to find a reason, and the master is famous. From the current point of view, Dali Temple should close the case with the crime of robbery and homicide. For a case of this level, it's easy to close the case. It's hard to investigate with great fanfare, and we can't expose ourselves because of such a trivial matter."

This was unexpected by Gu Heng, and Gu Heng asked again: "During the court, the emperor specially ordered Mr. Pei to cooperate with the palace to investigate the case. Is this a good reason?"

The prince waved his hand: "This is actually just a scene, because it is not normal to go to war on this matter."

"Oh!" Gu Heng understood, and continued: "Then start the investigation directly from their neighbors, so the scale will be much smaller?"

The prince nodded: "Okay, leave this matter to me, you can go to work." After finishing speaking, he walked away on his own with his hands behind his back.

Gu Heng and Xie Zhixuan looked at each other, slightly dazed.

what happened?How is he going to do this?

The two couldn't figure it out, so they had to give up.

Xie Zhixuan remembered something, and said: "I have obtained all the land deeds in the surrounding area of ​​Anyefang from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I have arranged for people to search from the big house first."

Gu Heng nodded: "Okay, come one by one, find out the big ones first, and then check the others."

Gu Heng asked again: "By the way, how was the investigation on the Duanhunxiang matter? Did you find any clues?"

Xie Zhixuan shook his head: "We found an imperial doctor in the palace, but this imperial doctor is a very good person with superb medical skills. It is very likely that he was secretly used as a shield unintentionally. This matter can only be left for the future. Check further down."

Gu Heng understands that this is related to the forces in the palace, and the focus of the work is not there for the time being, so there is no need to delve into it.

Gu Heng continued to ask: "Then what else do you have to do right now? If there is nothing else, why don't we go to Dali Temple to look at the files together?"

This group of people is always a big one, it is really difficult for people to live in peace for a moment, Gu Heng feels that they must be caught as soon as possible.

Xie Zhixuan: "Your Highness, I also have the same intention."

The two hit it off immediately, and they took Yuan Zhen to Dali Temple together, during which Gu Heng also told the two about the court hall.

Gu Heng asked: "Are the prince's people so impatient to do it?"

Xie Zhixuan shook his head: "Not necessarily, this Xu Jin is also a veteran, he shouldn't be so reckless, maybe someone behind him wants to come in and stir up trouble. Pei Lun is not in line, so either side has the possibility of attack. If If you can take the opportunity to get Pei Lun down, you can take advantage of the situation and arrange your own people to take over, which is beneficial to them."

Xie Zhixuan said again: "And it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, it's just that Xu Jin lost his own person, it's really a lot of money."

Gu Heng was stunned, fortunately this time there was a lot of thunder and rain, and it didn't cause any impact. Then Pei Lun's annual salary was only a hundred taels, but now he made a lot of money.

But when they walked halfway, they found that many people on the street were walking towards Dali Temple, talking about something, as if something happened.

The three of them hurried all the way to Dali Temple, and when they were far away, they heard the sound of drums, as if someone was beating the drums to express their grievances!
