Chapter 286 Lin Huai's Troubles (Part [-])
"Then...if there are treacherous ministers around the emperor, what should we do?"

"Traitor? How do you determine that you are a traitor? If you can determine it, you will naturally tell the emperor frankly, and the emperor will believe your inference. Of course, this is the case now. As for the future, it depends on how you act in the future."

"Your majesty has never met me, but just based on what the prince said, can your majesty trust me?" Qin Wubing was a little surprised.

Prince Xiang smiled and said:
"What I'm talking to the emperor is not about your evaluation, but about the way you handle everything. The emperor has his own judgment. What's more, who said that the emperor only knows you through me?"

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead and said: "I'm too lazy to think about these twists and turns, just do what I should do."

"You and Yu'er have special identities. She is occasionally willful. When you are persistent, you have enough brains. Think about the cause and effect before and after. It is not a problem to be safe!"

"The case of Hu Qian's murder... Will the people sent by the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple..."

"Hu Qian was a first-rank official who was killed in Lishan County. It is definitely not appropriate to rely solely on the county government to handle the case. What's more, this case involves Yu'er and you. You should know that when encountering important cases, the court will usually have three divisions. The Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are handling the case together. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the responsibility of supervision. This time the emperor did not send people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go there, because he thought there was no need for supervision. The responsibility of the Criminal Ministry is to investigate and convict the case. The responsibility of Dali Temple lies in the refutation of unjust, false and wrong cases, redress, and also the responsibility of review, the emperor's arrangement is quite meaningful, and it can also make the people behind the scenes feel cold."

"That's right, before the investigation started, the emperor decided that there was something wrong, and they must have been frightened, and then they would do more tricks, and it would be natural to make more mistakes!"

Prince Xiang nodded and said: "The emperor sent Guo Zheng, Minister of Criminal Affairs, and Lin Zhidong, Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Both of them, like Xie Yu, were ordered by the emperor after he ascended the throne. They are quite talented and trustworthy!"

Qin Wubing felt more at ease, and he asked again: "Did the prince suggest that I participate in the investigation of this case?"

"I would like to suggest, is there enough time? I just received the emperor's secret letter this morning, and I will reply after seeing you. When the emperor sees it, you may be on the way."

Qin Wubing immediately beamed with joy: "That is to say, the emperor already knows that I am upright, intelligent, and capable!"

"Pass the meal!"

……

The old monk outside the door couldn't wait a long time ago, and asked when he entered the room: "What are you two talking about secretly? Why didn't you take me with you?"

"I told you about finding a wife for you, in front of your face, I'm afraid you'd be embarrassed!" Qin Wubing said seriously.

The old monk believed it, he patted his head, and asked with a reddish face, "Whose girl?"

"There are a lot of people who want to marry Uncle Seven, so we have to choose slowly. After we have selected a few outstanding ones, Uncle Seven will make a decision. Uncle Seven doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters."

What Qin Wubing said was serious, Prince Xiang smiled and shook his head, and the old monk smirked happily.

The eldest princess saw something was wrong when she entered the room, she exchanged a glance with Qin Wubing, didn't ask any questions, just sat down and waited for dinner.

Qin Wubing leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Will you go to Lishan County with me tomorrow?"

The eldest princess looked up at Lord Xiang, who snorted and said, "What do you think I am doing? Do you need my consent where you are going?"

The eldest princess pouted and said, "Ninth Brother, be careful!"

"Now that the flood has receded, all that remains is to resettle the victims. There is no shortage of food right now. Disaster relief and reconstruction have their own local officials, and they only need to send people to monitor. This summer, the rain is strong. I am afraid that not only Jiangnan and Henan provinces will be affected. On the way back to Beijing, I just happened to look around more, there are always some daring and black-hearted officials who took advantage of the disaster to fill their own pockets and clean up along the way!"

"Brother Jiu, do you mean to return to Beijing?" Qin Wubing asked.

Prince Xiang nodded and said:
"It's just that your family may have to be busy for a while. Some of the relief food was bought by them with money, and some of it was transported by you from Xichuan. They need their help to distribute and transport it. After the autumn harvest, what should be returned must be returned." , How to pay back? They had a charter before, but they need to watch the place and do things according to the contract! Of course, the rewards that the court should have are indispensable, and the emperor has his own decision."

Qin Wubing lowered his head and thought about sending one of Sherlock Holmes to talk to his father and brother about the money. The Eldest Princess has already made a decision:

"I'm following Brother Nine. There must be annoying things on the way back to Beijing. I can't just let Brother Nine suffer." At this point, the eldest princess turned to look at Qin Wubing and said, "Anyway, you can investigate the case quickly. , come to us after finding out in a day or two!"

Qin Wubing hummed, but felt in his heart that this investigation might not be so fast, the identity of the deceased in the past... in the past?Qin Wubing suddenly thought of the headless dismemberment case at the Rongxi Inn before he left, and hurriedly asked, "Have I replied, Brother Haonan? Isn't there a headless dismemberment case in the inn where Zhao Guang stayed?"

The eldest princess hummed and said, "The letter from the prefect of Wuzhou was delivered with the murderer."

"Oh?" Qin Wubing was excited: "But as I inferred, he was a bandit? The deceased was the grain merchant surnamed Qian? Did the grievances arise from the grain merchant's outside?"

The old monk looked at Qin Wubing in surprise and asked: "What is your brain made of? How do you remember what happened more than a month ago?"

Qin Wubing pointed to his head modestly and said, "No way, it's all about wisdom!"

The eldest princess thought for a while and said: "I remember Zheng Fu Yin just read the letter, and after interrogating the murderer, he said to brother-in-law, 'The son-in-law is really good at predicting things!" Inferred from known evidence.'”

Qin Wubing nodded in satisfaction.

The old monk hurriedly patted Qin Wubing, and asked expectantly: "Then you can deduce, who is your aunt's daughter? How old is she? Is she handsome?"

Qin Wubing blinked his eyes, and said perfunctorily: "Not to mention anything else, just looks... must be outstanding! Even if you are not good enough, you can't enter the Royal Gate."

The old monk was very happy to hear that.

……

Qin Wubing ate very quickly. After eating, he realized that Lin Huai and Guo Yi hadn't come. He asked the old monk, but the old monk said disapprovingly, "The fourth child of Marquis Wuding's family is sad at home and has no time to eat!"

"What's wrong with vanilla?" Qin Wubing knew that the only thing that could make Lin Huai sad was vanilla.

"I haven't seen him, what else can I do? You can't be hungry or cold in the posthouse... What are you doing?"

"I gonna go see!"

Qin Wubing got up and walked towards the door, and Princess Dachang also followed.

"Eat well!"

"I'm done eating. You go to Lin Huai, and I'll go to vanilla. This matter really needs to be clarified before returning to Beijing."

Qin Wubing turned his head to look at the eldest princess, and said affectionately, "It's good to have you!"

The eldest princess pursed her lips and dimpled out of her smile: "I am also for the sake of the younger sister of the Wang family."

Qin Wubing thought for a while and asked, "Can't you say that you relieved my worries?"

"Of course it has something to do with you, otherwise I wouldn't bother to care about it! But it's also true that because of the kindness of Wang's sister, I think it's a pity to marry Lin Huai."
