Phoenix Nine Heavens

Chapter 98

Xiao Jing understood that Su Xuan's words were meant for some people in the Punishment Department, because besides the upright person like Ling Sizheng and the sycophant like Qiao Zhangsi, there were also the concessions of Anyang and the Queen, So these words express their attitude to the queen and Anyang.

"Yes!" So Xiao Jing immediately responded when he heard this, and then walked towards the file room next to Su Xuan.

In the dossier room, there are all kinds of dossiers, filling the entire room, with almost no gaps.

"Miss, how do we find it? There are so many?" Little Mirror panicked when she saw everything in front of her. She didn't know that finding the drowning case files in such a room of files was equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.

But she didn't know where to get the needle, and she had no idea, so she could only ask Su Xuan.

"Originally we could start the investigation from the identity of the deceased, but we know from the attitude of the Department of Punishment to us just now that no one will cooperate with our inquiry, so we can only find some answers from the file for the time being." Su Xuan is very clear , if they want to get some clues from it, they can only start here, because they have no other choice.

"That is to say, we must find what we want from the files here one by one!" Little Mirror said helplessly, and then began to search along the file rack.

"Actually, these files are all summarized and marked with time. We only need to follow the time and find this year's files, and then we can narrow down the scope of our search!" Su Xuan took a closer look at these file shelves, and found that each grid has a small note , which records the specific time when the dossier was placed.

So she immediately said such a sentence to the small mirror, and started looking for this year's time by herself.

After some searching, I finally found this year's file shelf in the upper left corner, but there were not many files on that shelf, as if there was no case that happened this year.

But since she found it, Su Xuan naturally won't let it go, so she must go and search carefully.

But this search made Su Xuan feel even more confused, because although those files all happened this year, they had nothing to do with the drowning case.

"That's weird. Could it be that the files of the drowning case haven't been sorted out yet?" Su Xuan immediately asked wonderingly.

According to the rules of the yamen in Dazhou, a case must be registered and compiled from the moment it occurs, and then placed in the file and placed in the file room, and special personnel will add it to the file for the latest progress of the case.

This is for the convenience of truncating and modifying the dossier for those who are interested, to hide some important points, and to achieve an ulterior secret, because the content of the dossier is added in real time, and once it is written into it, there is no chance of changing it.

Any yamen under the rule of the Great Zhou operates in this way, and the Punishment Department is also a judicial department under the rule of the Great Zhou. Naturally, it must strictly follow the regulations of the imperial court.

But now, the drowning case file that should have been on the file shelf has not been found, which makes Su Xuan feel puzzled.

"My servant, go and ask Ling Sizheng to see what's going on!" Little Mirror said to Su Xuan at this time. She felt that only Ling Sizheng clearly understood the situation here. Find Ling Sizheng, and you'll know what's going on.

"Since someone doesn't want us to know, we won't be able to find anything if we ask!" Su Xuan said immediately, she knew very well that they wanted to get involved in this drowning case at this moment, and it might not be as simple as that.

"Then what should we do? Your Majesty only gave us three days, so we can't waste time here?" Little Mirror was anxious, but didn't know what to do.

Knowing that they had to figure out the truth of the case in three days, and they couldn't rely on the people from the Punishment Division, she really didn't know what to do.

"Since we can't directly start with the identity of the deceased, let's start with Concubine Jin's embroidered shoes. I believe there must be a reason for those embroidered shoes to appear on the scene!" Su Xuan immediately said to the small mirror.

She knew that Princess Anyang and the others were staring too closely at the dossier room, and it was almost impossible to find out something from here, so she changed her strategy and planned to bypass the key points, investigate in a roundabout way, and find out the case from another direction. She believed that It was the only way she could find out.

Little Mirror nodded immediately, feeling that what Su Xuan said made sense, after all, they didn't have to smash eggs into rocks.

"Let's go, let's go to Concubine Jin!" After discussing, Su Xuan immediately said to the small mirror, and immediately took the small mirror and left the dossier room, and exited the gate of the Punishment Department.

Just after Su Xuan and the others walked out of the gate of the Punishment Department, a person came out from a side room of the Punishment Department. This person was none other than Princess Anyang.

"You guys have done a good job, I am very pleased!" Princess Anyang said to everyone in the Punishment Department when she saw Su Xuan walking away.

Everyone in the Punishment Division was trembling and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction with Anyang. Some even expressed obedience and absolute obedience.

"Su Xuan, I would like to see how you can solve this case within three days without any clues?" Princess Anyang's eyes were full of anger, her hands were clenched together to form two fists of hatred, Only supported on Anyang's body.

After Su Xuan and the others left the Punishment Department, they came to a corridor outside. They were going to look for Concubine Jin, but they were new here, and they were not familiar with the roads in the palace, and they didn't even know where Concubine Jin's residence was. , so they had to stop.

At this time, a group of palace maids walked towards them. The leading palace maid held a cup of soup in her hand, and walked towards this side slowly, followed by four or five palace ladies who were all followers, closely following behind the leading palace lady. Dare to surpass the frontier maids by half a point, and dare not fall behind, making their tasks imperfect, and even being insulted by their opponents.

"My aunt, where does Concubine Jin live?" Su Xuan didn't know where Concubine Jin lived, and she didn't want to give up the idea of ​​finding Concubine Jin's residence. It just so happened that this team of maids came over, so Su Xuan immediately greeted her and asked .

"Why do you inquire about the residence of Concubine Jin? Who are you?" The palace maid was very vigilant, she stopped immediately after hearing Su Xuan's question, and asked Su Xuan back.

Although it was a vigilant rhetorical question, there was a sense of surprise on his face. It was obvious that these people couldn't imagine that someone would come to see the concubine Jin.
