Chapter 310
The emperor's sulking breath was held in until the sixth day of the first lunar month before it was considered released.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, He Beiting held a full moon banquet for his two sons. There were hundreds of tables at the banquet, and almost all the dignitaries from the royal family in Beijing and officials above the third rank in the court were present.Some low-level officials, and even members of the newly promoted Jinshi and Wusi also arrived.Even the famous imperial merchants in Beijing sent representatives.

Some were afraid that He Beiting would settle accounts after the fall, and took the opportunity to ease the relationship.Some watched He Beiting go all the way up and wanted to build relationships.The Zhang family and the Xie family are looking at the face of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the newly promoted Jinshi are looking at the face of the Zhou family, the members of the military division are aiming at the Wuwei of the He family, and the imperial merchants are because of the profit made by the Shibosi. Occasionally, he learned that the establishment of this city shipping company was a private suggestion from He Shizi to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he did not forget to reciprocate the well digger's favor.

Although He Beiting intends to host his son's full moon banquet, but he only wants to invite some people who want to invite, at most, some people who can barely talk to him.

But when he saw more and more people who couldn't even remember their names came to the door with gifts to congratulate him, his face sank.

Although Zhou Xining, whose two sons were full moon, still couldn't leave the house, after hearing about this situation, he was also a little unhappy.There was even a faint sense of uneasiness in my heart.

Sure enough, before the banquet started, Sun Li came to the door with the emperor's command.He took away several chief officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple in one breath, and also brought He Beiting and Lin Qingyuan along.

There are only two sentences in the oral order, one is that the cause of the second prince's death is unknown, and the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will investigate and deal with it within a time limit.The other sentence is that He Beiting and Lin Qingyuan were involved in the case of the deposed prince Chu Yuhe, and immediately entered the palace for interrogation.

After listening to these two verbal instructions, Zhou Xining pouted on the spot.

Tsk!It's just that a beloved concubine and a son died on New Year's Eve, and if I'm not happy, I can't see others happy.

It's still in the New Year's Eve, but the office hasn't been opened yet, so what's the case?Although everyone knew that the emperor's bad old man was provoking him for no reason, they could only bear it.

Who let that be the emperor, but they are courtiers.

He Beiting and Lin Qingyuan were riding in the same carriage, with a sullen face, pursed lips, and the index finger and thumb of the right hand pinched the left cuff and rubbed it back and forth.If Zhou Xining was with him, he would definitely be able to see that he was scheming again.

Lin Qingyuan glanced at He Beiting, whose face was so dark that ink could be soaked out, and said in a low voice: "Huaiyuan, you are always more sensitive than ordinary people, tell me what the emperor is going to do? This is Chinese New Year, and you have been specially selected for it." The day when the child holds a full moon banquet..."

He Beiting lowered his eyes and let out a cold snort, "He's unlucky himself, so he wants to find others to be unlucky too, what else can he do? Anyway, the things Chu Yuhe did can't be wiped off by others.

No matter how many times he asked, he still couldn't find any flowers. "

It's really rare to say so many words at once.Lin Qingyuan couldn't help but take another look at He Beiting. Based on what he knew about him, he was either angry or plotting something.

No matter what He Beiting plans, it will not affect him anyway.

Benedict!Benedict!Benedict!
As he was walking, He Beiting suddenly reached out and tapped three times rhythmically on the wall under the carriage window. Lin Qingyuan was about to ask a question in astonishment when he heard a low reply from outside the carriage window.

"Go to the fifth prince's mansion, and quietly bring out the imperial secret guard who was ordered to poison him. Don't let him die, and don't scare the fifth prince. Then let someone go to the East Palace to deliver a letter to His Royal Highness, and say Empress Zhang Things went wrong."

The people outside gave another low response and then fell silent.

Lin Qingyuan was really curious. He knew that He Beiting had hidden guards accompanying him wherever he went, but he really wanted to know where those hidden guards were hiding and how they discovered He Beiting's call in time.

After these words circled back and forth in his heart for a few times, he finally asked them out.He felt that although this kind of thing was secret, it was not impossible to ask based on their relationship.

Sure enough, He Beiting glanced at Lin Qingyuan, and explained his confusion.

"The so-called accompanying dark guards are naturally following closely at all times, so as long as I make the agreed summoning action, they will naturally be able to see it and respond immediately."

Oh, Lin Qingyuan nodded with a look of understanding, that's why.

While admiring He Beiting's skillful control in his heart, he thought it was really not easy to be He Beiting's secret guard.

Just as He Beiting guessed, the emperor was indeed looking for someone to vent his unhappiness.After a group of people gathered in the imperial study one after another, the emperor started to get angry.

"What happened during the New Year's Eve has not even made any progress today. Is the Ministry of Criminal Justice all working for nothing?"

Hearing the emperor's scolding, although several chief officials of the Ministry of Punishment pursed their lips silently, they were all in their hearts.Dali hanged a concubine in the cold palace, and died of a confinement prince due to a sudden illness, but what do these two murders have to do with the Ministry of Criminal Justice?
Not to mention that it is the New Year's Day when the government is closed, even if it is an ordinary time, even if the cause of death of these two people is suspected and the investigation is filed, it will not be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, that is the job of Dali Temple.

It's still during the New Year's Eve, and it's time to eat the full moon wine of He Shizi's son at He's house, okay, he was brought into the palace and scolded for no reason without even smelling the wine. Heavenly?
Who did they recruit from the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Really!

The chief officials of the Ministry of Punishment held back their grievances, but they could only tighten their lips, not daring to say a word.

After the emperor finished training the chief officials of the Ministry of Punishment, he turned around and scolded the chief officials of Dali Temple.Neither the reason nor the rhetoric has been changed.

Now everyone can see that the emperor is unhappy and uses them as a punching bucket.

That's all, let's just throw your ears out and listen.

After scolding all the chief officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, the anger that the emperor had pent up in his chest finally came out.After taking a few sips of the tea offered by Sun Li, he waved his hand and let them out of the imperial study.

He Beiting and Lin Qingyuan looked at each other, and then walked out silently.Lin Qingyuan went out with him, but He Beiting was stopped by a call.

Lin Qingyuan cast a glance at He Beiting asking for blessings, and then quickly left the imperial study without stopping.It is unreasonable that he, a low-level official who only served in the court during the court meeting, would be taken into the imperial study for training.

"Where did the poison in the second prince come from?"

While sipping his tea, the emperor asked He Beiting in a non-surprising way.

He Beiting replied without changing expression: "I don't know."

It wasn't him who poisoned the second prince, how would he know?Even if he knew where it came from, he had no obligation to explain it to him.
