Chapter 60
The official office of the Ministry of Punishment is located in Yongchangfang on the east side of Miyagi, with its back to the East Palace, facing south from the north, and walking from the official office to Jiafu Gate will take less than a cup of tea.

Zhao Yu changed into ordinary clothes and waited for Zhao Xing in the third hall. Gao Youmin, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Lin Yuanzhong, the Minister of Justice, accompanied him in the hall.

They had already obtained the imperial decree, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment, so they ordered two criminal chiefs, four Lingshi and six Shulingshi to prepare for dispatch.

As a result, before Zhao Xing arrived, Zhao Yu came first.

By the time Zhao Xingshan arrived late, Zhao Yu had already exchanged two cups of tea.

Yu Shishi accompanied Zhao Xing into the third hall, and Zhao Yu cast a sidelong glance at him, seeing that he looked a lot better than when he left the palace, and knew who was pacifying him, so he felt more and more uncomfortable. Thinking that when the matter is over, he must catch this white-eyed wolf and have a good talk.

Not mentioning that right now, Zhao Yu nodded on the armrest and stood up: "Erlang, don't ask about Liubu, I will accompany him to come over today to make an appointment. Gao Shangshu knows what's going on, and I won't come here later."

Gao Youmin also came from a poor family, and he has been a criminal for half his life. He has skills, courage, and the way of being an official. He also knows how to be an official.

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, he hurriedly answered and explained: "The government's order is clearly stated. His Highness the Second Highness is the presiding judge, and the ministers are from the side to assist and assist. Don't worry, Your Highness, you have just seen all the officials in the Ministry of Punishment. , is the person who handles the matter, the officials have personally intervened in this case, and it has to be dealt with urgently, and I will never dare to be perfunctory."

Zhao Yu's face was calm, Gujing Wubo's voice made a short sound, he seemed to agree to the words, but he didn't seem to take it seriously, he was about to go out with his hands behind his back, when he passed by Zhao Xing, he paused, and told him: "Gao Shangshu has been a prisoner for half his life, Although you are the presiding judge of this case, you still need to discuss with Gao Shangshu more. I will not accompany you to the Dali Temple. After a while, I will ask Gao Shangshu to accompany you and start investigating the case. go."

Zhao Xing said yes, turned sideways to get out of the way, then looked at Gao Youmin, and nodded to him: "These seven days, rely on Gao Shangshu."

The two brothers sang together and lifted Gao Youmin to a high place. He only felt hairy when he heard it, and didn't dare to respond at all.

In fact, for such a case, it is enough for Lin Yuanzhong to come forward. He is a minister, and the government office is busy with errands every day, so why should he go in person?

But this great majesty has always been iron-blooded, the most important thing is that the officials are happy to see him here, and he never restrains him.

The ruler of the world doesn't have to be like this. It's just that the border has been turbulent in the past few years, and the military generals in the court are not enough. We need a future prince like His Royal Highness to stand here.

Gao Youmin rolled his eyes and said the words calmly, and he already had a plan in his heart.

After Haosheng sent Zhao Yu out, he immediately went to ask Zhao Xing: "Is Your Highness going to Dali Temple now?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing said in a deep voice: "Gao Shangshu ordered the two principals to come and tell Xu Siqing that the case is urgent and he can't wait. Let him take the person he should bring and go directly to Hu's house to meet me."

Gao Youmin's eyelids sank, and according to his words, he turned his head and handed it over to him: "The Ministry of Punishment is full of people, and the office is also prepared. Do you want to send the Hu family to the Ministry of Punishment for questioning, or go directly?"

Zhao Xing glanced at him: "Didn't you say, let Xu Siqing bring someone to Hu's house to meet me?"

Gao Youmin said yes with a smirk, and seeing that Zhao Xing didn't care about him and turned around to go out, he hurriedly got together and followed Zhao Xing's figure, and went to Hu's house together.

·
In the small flower hall of Changping County Prince's Mansion, except for Gu Huaizhang who was busy arranging arrests in Beijing, everyone else was there.

Jiang Shi left the palace earlier, and deliberately left Jiang Wan in Hanzhang Hall to wait for Zhao Xing to send her off.

The Wei family stayed in the county palace and didn't leave at all.

Zhao Ran looked serious, seeing that the elders were silent, he first asked Jiang Wan: "Why don't you tell the saint, or tell the second brother?"

Jiang Wanzhen shook his head and said no: "The Ministry of Criminal Justice and the adults of Dali Temple have their own rules for investigating cases, and the second elder brother can't let his temper as usual and do whatever he wants when he is on an errand.

There was a homicide case in the Hu family. Although I don't know the name of the criminal, I also know that the investigation should start with Hu Kezhen's death.

On the night when he fell ill, the Hu family was attacked by thieves, and the second elder brother knew it well, so the higher-ups would investigate.

But why should I check Liu Minghua?Just because of the word coincidence? "

She said while shaking her head: "This is ridiculous, my cousin asked me to talk to the saint?
She is the legitimate daughter of Liu Guogong's mansion, and she has always been favored. Before the usury incident came out, even the saints treated her differently.

Could it be that you asked your second elder brother to tell Gao Shangshu and Xu Siqing that Liu Minghua returned to Beijing from Daxiangguo Temple at this time because I had a festival with Liu Minghua, which is too coincidental, so you have to check her? "

When Jiang heard this, she glared at Zhao Ran: "You are not as good as your sister!"

Zhao Ran clicked his tongue: "I think since it's related to the case, maybe it's related to it, so it's just a suggestion..."

"Are you going to give it?" Jiang Wan's voice became a little colder, "Cousin, for my business, the second elder brother made a promise in front of the emperor to solve the case in seven days, and now he hastily said this to the people below, he will only call the courtiers I feel that he is aggressive, he is in a hurry, he is incompetent, and he does not rely on clues to solve the case, but on his imagination.

He will go to the court to receive an errand in the future, do you want the courtiers to treat him like this?

What's more, these words have reached the ears of the officials, how do you make the officials think of him? "

Only then did Zhao Ran shut his mouth.

"I know exactly what you think. It's just that this is not a troublesome thing at all. If you check her, you will check her. Are you afraid of Liu Guogong's mansion? Is that what you think?"

Zhao Ran coughed: "It's not all right, I'm just thinking about it, except for Hu Mingde's own arrangement, who is so hard on you? She must have put the usury on your head !"

Besides, he's probably going to be scolded.

Pei Qingyuan couldn't bear to listen any longer, and smoothed things out with a soft voice, trying to rescue him for the time being, and only asked Jiang: "Auntie, let's investigate Liu Minghua by ourselves, maybe the Duke Liu's mansion will be involved. Is it hindering His Royal Highness and the others from investigating the case?"

Jiang's eyes were only on her son's body, and she looked away when she heard the words. When she saw her niece, her expression softened a lot, and she shook her head and said no: "They check theirs, we check ours, they have nothing to do with each other. As long as we Don't touch the Hu family, it won't bother them."

As she spoke, she poked Prince Changping: "What do you think?"

The King of Changping County's face sank like water: "It can be investigated, I will arrange it, try not to leave other people in the Duke's mansion, and only check Liu Minghua. After all, I am not sure that it must be her. If Duke Liu finds out, I am afraid that I will not be afraid. Even if you don't look up and look down, my brother will be transferred back to Beijing in two years, it's too embarrassing to be an official in the same court."

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes: "Second elder brother said that he would not be able to take care of me because of the many things going on these few days, cousin, you should go to second elder brother later, you should tell him and let him know.

But you told him that's what I mean, he just investigates the case seriously and doesn't care about Liu Minghua's affairs. "

Zhao Ran was almost scolded just now, but now he seemed to have turned his head around, so he stopped talking, said that he knew, and said nothing else.
