Phoenix Nine Heavens

Chapter 97

"In this deep palace compound, everyone only thinks about profit, and nothing can be done with benevolence, righteousness and morality!" The little mirror said to Su Xuan with a look of seeing through the world.

Although she doesn't know much about the palace, but seeing the people in the palace behave like that, she can know a thing or two, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say such a thing in front of Su Xuan.

"Then it's his bad luck!" Su Xuan seemed to feel that what the little mirror said had some truth. After all, she was forced to this point. If she didn't take some extraordinary measures, she might not be able to move an inch in this palace. She didn't want the case to be heard clearly. However, the criminal has no way to enter the case.

"Miss, where are we going now?" Little Mirror saw that Su Xuan had agreed, so she asked Su Xuan, she wanted to know where they would start next.

Naturally, she has no way to compare with Su Xuan in investigating cases, so she can only ask Su Xuan to arrange the next thing. After all, Su Xuan is her backbone.

"Let's go, let's go to the Punishment Department to find Lord Ling Sizheng, check the case files and find out the situation!" Su Xuan said immediately, and went to the Punishment Department together with a small mirror.

The Department of Punishment is very busy at this time, everyone is fully arranged, it seems that there are endless things to do, even Su Xuan and the others walked from outside to inside, no one can spare time for them greet.

"What's the matter? How can a small Punishment Department be so busy?" Seeing that everyone was busy here, Xiao Jing immediately asked Su Xuan.

One must know that Su Xuan was a county magistrate, a county with several hundreds of miles under its jurisdiction, was not so busy when the number of cases was at its peak, but a small Punishment Department in the palace was so busy for everyone No time at all, which is really unusual.

They had hoped that the people from the Punishment Department could help them find some clues and information, so that they could solve the case, but now it seemed impossible.

"This is outrageous. Concubine Li Hui's cat disappeared, and she came to our Punishment Department? Is our Punishment Department still working?" Complained resentfully.

"My lord, these words will bring us disaster, it's better not to say anything!" Qiao Zhangsi who was beside Ling Sizheng immediately picked up the case file, and said to Ling Sizheng immediately.

There is no reason to talk about things in the palace. Generally, what is arranged by the superiors is done by the subordinates. Do more and talk less. Anyone who works in the palace should know this, but the well-groomed Ling Sizheng But he couldn't do it, which is also the main reason why he has been in this small company for so many years and has not moved his position.

But Ling Sizheng didn't want to change anything. She was afraid that she would lose her true nature. Like everyone else in the palace, there was no right or wrong, only interests and calculations.

That's why the straightforward she threw the dossier on the ground in dissatisfaction, and then scolded such a sentence full of complaints.

Qiao Zhangsi is a subordinate official of Ling Sizheng, one rank lower than Sizheng, but he is also an official involved in the criminal case of the Punishment Department, and he can be regarded as a person cultivated by Ling Sizheng.

This person's behavior style is quite different from Ling Sizheng's. She is smooth, knows how to avoid risks, and does not do things that are hated and unacceptable by the higher-ups. That's why Director Qiao got into his current position at a young age.

Now that she heard Ling Sizheng's words, she immediately reminded Ling Sizheng, suggesting that Ling Sizheng keep calm and don't get caught, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

"I don't know what's going on. We have so many criminal cases that we haven't dealt with, and these trivial matters are piled up on the case table!" Ling Sizheng still can't accept this, and feels that they are doing something worthless now. things.

"Didn't the emperor arrange for the pond drowning case to be handed over to Concubine Liang? Let's just do what we have to do, and the rest is beyond our control!" Director Qiao said to Ling Sizheng immediately.

She also knew that someone above was dissatisfied with Su Xuan, deliberately causing trouble for Su Xuan, so as to prevent Su Xuan from investigating the drowning case, but they were quiet and did not dare to offend those who were hiding behind the scenes in the palace, so they could only be How to say above, how to do below.

"Master Ling Sizheng!" Su Xuan came to Ling Sizheng at this time, and said hello to Ling Sizheng.

"Concubine Liang, are you here to investigate the drowning case of Jianzong?" Ling Sizheng saw Su Xuan, and immediately understood Su Xuan's purpose. Si said, "Director Qiao, you hand over the file of the drowning case to Concubine Liang!"

"My lord, we have so many things here that we are too busy. Read the files below. Those files are stored in the file room. It is more appropriate for the princess to find them by herself, lest the officials find them that are not what the princess needs. The concubine is not happy!" Director Qiao said to Su Xuan immediately, as if ignoring Su Xuan.

The higher-ups had explained to her that no matter what Su Xuan and the others wanted, they would not give it to Su Xuan. She didn't have the guts to go against the meaning of the higher-ups, so she could only obey the orders from the higher-ups and refuse any requests from Su Xuan and the others, even if It was something ordered by his superior, and he did not dare to violate the meaning of the superior at all.

"Hey, what's your attitude? Could it be that our concubine can't ask you to get something?" Xiao Jing immediately said to Zhang Si when he heard this.

One must know that the current Su Xuan is also a princess after all, and came here to investigate this case under the order of the emperor. At that time, the emperor said it well and asked the Department of Punishment to cooperate with them to investigate this case. Now it is good, they have this attitude. Cooperate with their actions?

The little mirror was naturally unconvinced, so he immediately said to Qiao Zhangsi, as if he insisted on reasoning clearly with the other party.

"This is the attitude of the lower officials. If you can't accept it, please find someone else to instruct you. The lower officials don't have that skill!" Director Qiao didn't take Su Xuan and the others seriously at all, let alone the little mirror who served the princess. Little girl.

After saying this, Qiao Zhangsi turned around and went to work on the sidelines, completely ignoring Su Xuan and Ling Sizheng's greetings.

"Princess Wangfei, I'm really sorry. There are so many things happening all of a sudden, and I'm really..." Ling Sizheng was very sorry, but there was nothing he could do.

She knew that this wasn't Qiao Zhangsi's own business, but was explained by someone above, and it was common sense that they dared not go against it without authorization, so she didn't dare to blame Qiao Zhangsi as a superior.

"It's okay, I know some people are causing trouble for me, but I believe that these troubles can't prevent me from doing things! Thank you Ling Sizheng for your care!" Su Xuan knew it well, and immediately said this to Ling Sizheng , and then greeted the little mirror, "Little mirror, let's find it ourselves!"
