Chapter 43

Qi Zhengyang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, one of the members of the Donglin Party, is the mainstay of Princess Qingyang's command. He once supported the Lord Qingyang's official position in the imperial court. Zhengye is also the confidant of Princess Qingyang, which strengthens the princess's further control over the Ministry of Punishment.

This matter involves the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, so it is bound to attract the attention of Princess Qingyang. Although Yunmeng looks a little naive at ordinary times, not everyone can be the commander of the pro-military department. The way of party struggle?

"Shao'an, you have to think about it carefully. If the Qi family is really involved in the case, then it means that you are directly making enemies with the Donglin party members, the Qingyang princess, and also... your biological mother."

Zhu You's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "I don't care, whoever hinders the official from handling the case to find out the truth, and to give justice to the deceased is my enemy. As for who the enemy is, it doesn't matter."

Yun Meng had already expected this appearance, and turned to look at Ye Ke, who was standing tall and graceful, and said, "What about you? That's your mother-in-law."

Ye Ke shrugged his shoulders slightly, "I don't know about that, hehe, my salary is given to me by adults, hehe, I just need to be a good dog's leg."

"What a bastard, it's so ugly." Zhu You hid the happiness in his heart and pretended to reprimand him.

Ye Ke chuckled, and saluted with a pretentious make-up: "Yes, the lower officials know."

Afterwards, Zhu You lifted his legs and walked out of the room, saying as he walked, "Officer Ye Tui, how about going to the Shangshu Mansion with me?"

"Okay!" Ye Ke's voice was pulled by the boss, and he quickly chased after him.

With an unknown look in Yunmeng's eyes, he said in a low voice, "With these two people here, the capital will be very lively in the future." Immediately, "You two, wait for me, take me, take me with you!" I."

But let's talk about making troubles and joining in the fun, how could I miss the commander of Yunmengdu, the killer of your noble son in the capital?
Sure enough, when the three of them arrived at the residence of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice in official robes, the concierge's chin almost went up to the sky, and he glared at the three of them with his nostrils.

"What else can I say, it turns out that I am just a small fourth-rank official, and my master is not free!"

Zhu You glanced dangerously at the doorman, and then the doorman was kicked by a whip and flew into the mansion, and fell into the flowers, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

When a group of servants surrounded them, Yunmeng said mockingly: "A group of blind dogs, this little fourth-rank officer in front of you is the chief criminal officer of the Jingji Criminal Division. I am the Duke of Ding, Master Zhu Youzhu, who is the kind of person your master should be polite to when he sees him, who are you?"

Ye Ke liked to watch the excitement very much. She liked to watch people teach this kind of bullshit thing the most, and she almost missed eating melon seeds.

A group of servants glanced at the doorman whose life and death were uncertain, the sticks in their hands could not be squeezed tightly, and no one dared to move rashly. After a while, a beautiful woman with her hair in a bun and a brocade robe of hundreds of flowers walked out of the inner courtyard. The woman, under the guidance of the little maid, has a rather noble temperament, and even some concubines are not inferior to the concubines in the harem, Ye Ke's eyes light up when she sees it.

"Your Excellency Ti Xing is here, and my concubine is far away to welcome me, please don't take offense at me." The woman stepped forward and saluted, her tone very amicable.

Zhu You heard the words and replied: "Madam Qi, forgive me for disturbing you, but recently there was a murder case that may be related to the Qi Mansion, so I had to do it as a last resort."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qi's eyes flashed with astonishment. However, she has to say that Mrs. Qi is also worthy of being the official wife of Yipin Shangshu. The look of surprise disappeared in a flash, and then she waved away the servants, which led the three people to come When we arrived at the living room in the front yard, the maid served fragrant tea before opening his mouth.

"Unfortunately today, my master is still in the palace and has not returned to the mansion. If your lord has any questions, you can ask my concubine. If someone in my mansion commits a crime, your lord can take him."

Mrs. Na Qi's words were very pertinent and reasonable, coupled with her dignified temperament, Ye Ke couldn't help feeling a little fond of her. This situation was really beyond her expectation. She thought that she would meet a lot of people during this trip. resistance.

Zhu You smiled apologetically and said: "Madam Qi, don't worry, there is no clear evidence that there is a murderer in Shangshu's mansion, it's just a possibility, therefore, I just came here to inquire about the situation."

"Sir, please speak."

Zhu You pondered for a moment and said: "It's like this. A few days ago, there was a murder case in Goulan in the west of the city. A woman died, and she was murdered. After investigation by the officer, it is very likely that the woman was related to Mr. Cui. acquaintance."

The words are concise and to the point, but they hit the nail on the head.

Mrs. Qi said in surprise, "Zhiye?"

After receiving the nods from Zhu You and Ye Ke, Mrs. Qi's eyes flashed a look of shock, and then she quickly calmed down and said, "My lord, what you said is true? Don't make a mistake."

At this time, Zhu You said: "I hope the official made a mistake, is Mr. Cui at home?"

"Yes, come here, go ask my uncle to come out."

After receiving the order, the maid turned around and went to the back hall to invite Cui Zhiye.

After a while, an imposing young man came to the hall. He was dressed in a sky-blue brocade robe, with a mole between his eyebrows and a jade belt around his waist. It was Cui Zhiye.

Cui Zhiye was selected as Tanhualang in the palace examination, and at the same time, Qi Huanhuan, the daughter of the minister of punishment, took a fancy to him and recruited him as his son-in-law. Later, he was recommended by Qi Zhengyang to join the cabinet, and he was appointed as the fourth grade Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, in charge of ritual and music.

"Zhiye pays homage to his mother." Then he turned his head to look at Zhu You and the other three, "I have met Mr. Zhu, and I have commanded Mr. Ye." But Ye Ke ignored it.

Ye Ke didn't care, after all, she was just a small person. From a sixth-rank official, it was normal for others to look down on her. Moreover, she didn't care about these formalities in the officialdom, which was boring.

"Zhiye, Zhu Tixing said that he wants to ask you some questions, and you must answer them truthfully."

"Mother, don't worry, my son-in-law will know everything."

Zhu You got straight to the point: "Lord Cui, I would like to interrupt you, but I have a few questions to ask you. Yesterday afternoon, when it was late to You, where were you?"

"At that time, I was handling official business and was in Taichang Temple. All officials in Taichang Temple can testify for me."

Zhu You was slightly disappointed, nodded and said: "Thank you, does Master Cui know a woman named Xiangyun?"

A dazed look appeared on Cui Zhiye's face, he shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it, and I don't know it."

"That woman came from Qingyuan County, and she came to the capital to find her sweetheart. She is an actress, and Mr. Cui is also from Qingyuan County. Please think carefully, do you really not know each other?"

His face was still blank and he said, "I really don't know you."

A look of disappointment flashed across Zhu You's face, and then he cupped his fists at Mrs. Qi and said, "Sorry for interrupting today." Then he took Ye Ke and Yun Meng and prepared to get up and leave.

After walking a few steps, Ye Ke suddenly turned around and looked at Cui Zhiye and said, "Master Cui, I have some news for you."

"Oh?"

Ye Ke stared at him with burning eyes and said, "Xiang Yun didn't slip into the water, but was strangled to death."

The emotion in Cui Zhiye's eyes flashed, and then he quickly covered it up, saying: "Really? That's really a pity for such a young age. I wish you guys solve the case as soon as possible."

At this time, Ye Ke was very sure that Cui Zhiye and Xiangyun must have a very close relationship, because Ye Ke clearly saw the flash of intense anger in Cui Zhiye's eyes.
