Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

"If that's the case, it makes sense!" Liu Peiji patted his palms lightly: "But General Wang is a good city government. He clearly has such trump cards in hand, and he still looks so humble on weekdays. Compared with Pei Judao's cowardice and cowardice, there is something wrong Things come and go, if it had been me, I would have long ago——"

"You've already stepped under your feet, haven't you?" Hu Youcheng said with a smile: "So if someone can become a general, he can still make further progress. You are just a minister of the Ministry of Finance and that's it. Don't look at it as a human being. Then The difference is huge!”

"You really don't have any moral character!" Liu Peiji had the same temperament with Hu Youcheng, so he was not bothered by being insulted by others: "But the general's city is really amazing. Just in the political hall, Pei Judao I confronted him several times, but he just got over it. I originally thought he was worried about the Queen of the Pei family, but now it seems that he may have a big conspiracy!"

"It's not wrong to say that you are worried about the queen!" Hu Youcheng smiled: "The general still wants to maintain this situation anyway, so Pei Judao can still be so tossing. If one day comes, the general no longer wants to maintain it, haha ——" He sneered twice and then stopped talking.

"So what? Do you want to abolish the queen?" Liu Peiji asked.

"It is difficult to say that the queen will be deposed, but it is not difficult at all!" Hu Youcheng smiled: "The Holy Emperor is still young now, and he is not tired of the queen yet. It will be difficult to say in a few years. Besides, do you remember that today When I became the crown prince, I chose the Yang family’s daughter first, and then it was the Pei family’s daughter’s turn after what happened!”

"Yes, yes! I remembered it! But so what? The Yang family's daughter is dead, what can the general do?" Liu Peiji asked in confusion.

"Brother Liu, don't you understand?" Hu Youcheng smiled and lowered his voice: "It is said that the reason why the Yang family was chosen instead of the Pei family today is because Pei Judao's daughter looks very similar to him!"

Liu Peiji was stunned when he heard this, and then he covered his mouth and laughed. He pointed at Hu Youcheng and laughed and cursed: "Brother Hu, Brother Hu, your mouth is really deadly. After death, you will definitely be sent to the hell of tongue pulling. This kind of thing can also be done." Just say it casually?"

"Why not?" Hu Youcheng said, "I am also a man today. How can a man not like good-looking women? If I were Pei Judao, if my daughter has not shown her pregnancy in the spring next year, I would find a way to choose a daughter from a good family with a clear family background and good looks. Send it to the palace to give my daughter a helping hand. But I guess Mr. Pei may not have thought of this step yet, and even if he thought of it, he may not be able to do it!"

"That's true! It's true that Pei Judao may not be able to do this kind of thing, but he is kind-hearted by nature, so he shouldn't be deposed in two or three years?"

"Hmph!" Hu Youcheng sneered: "Liu Shilang, do you think the general will endure it for two or three years?"

"What do you mean? You said that the general would also offer beauties to the emperor?" Liu Peiji frowned: "He doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing, does he?"

"Hehe!" Hu Youcheng sneered twice: "Of course he won't do it, and there is no need for him to do it himself. Have you forgotten? Those two princesses who came back from Japan a few days ago?"

"What's wrong with the princess? They are the emperor's sisters, what does this have to do with anything?"

"Humph, Brother Liu, you are not serious about studying!" Hu Youcheng said with a proud smile: "Let me ask you, where did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty meet Wei Zifu?"

"Where did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty meet Wei Zifu?" Liu Peiji was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think that if the general wanted to present a beautiful woman to the emperor, who else could compare with the emperor's sister? What’s more convenient?”

As Hu Youcheng said just now, after Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he appointed Chen Ajiao, the daughter of Emperor Jing's sister and eldest princess Liu Piao, as the queen. However, because Chen Ajiao relied on her mother's power and her kindness in helping Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to be established as the prince, she had an arrogant personality. Being rude does not please Emperor Wu.Later, Emperor Wu often visited his sister Princess Pingyang's house. At that time, Wei Zifu was a singer in Princess Pingyang's family and was favored by Emperor Wu.After Emperor Wu returned to the palace, he gave Princess Pingyang a thousand pieces of gold. Princess Pingyang understood Emperor Wu's intention and sent Wei Zifu to the palace. He was favored by Emperor Wu and became pregnant, but Empress Chen was not favored. Out of jealousy, she used witchcraft to The Gu technique tried to curse Wei Zifu and the child in his belly. After the incident, he was deprived of the title of queen and was thrown into the cold palace. Wei Zifu became the queen.

Judging from the whole incident, whether it is Chen Ajiao or Wei Zifu, their accession to the throne was inseparable from the princess's intervention: However, Chen Ajiao's favor in the palace was due to her mother's contribution to Emperor Jing's appointment of Liu Che as the prince; Wei Zifu is Princess Pingyang's use of her beauty to win over her younger brother, take revenge on the queen, and obtain political benefits.Obviously, the emperor's sisters have a natural advantage when it comes to intervening in the emperor's harem. After all, they are women. They can legitimately enter the harem and establish close personal relationships with the concubines in the palace. And they are the emperor's sisters. Therefore, they can also invite the emperor to their homes. This kind of banquet can also exclude other men and form a very private atmosphere.Wang Wenzuo sent the princess sisters back to Chang'an, which was equivalent to placing two hidden moves on the chessboard of palace politics.

"Hu Youcheng! If it is what you said, then the general had already thought of deposing the queen a few months ago? But at that time, Pei Judao had a pretty good relationship with him?" Liu Peiji asked,

"At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and Pei Laoer had not yet secured his position as a servant. Of course he would not have any trouble with the general! As for the general sending the two princesses back to Chang'an, it was not necessarily because he wanted to deal with Pei Judao , but it is the duty of a courtier to return the children of the Tian family who are drifting away to reunite their flesh and blood. As for the rest, it is just a matter of letting nature take its course. Think about it, those two princesses have been drifting away for so long How could they have lived well in Chang'an for many years without the support of the general? This is a matter of you helping me and I helping you. No one can fault him!"

"That's true! If it weren't for your analysis from beginning to end, no one would be able to see the whole story. But even if you know the whole story, you can't say anything wrong about the general. This person is really impeccable in his work. Yeah!" Liu Peiji sighed.

"So you understand, right? The general has been in an invincible position for a long time, so Pei Laoer doesn't understand anything!"

"Well, let's see the joke first!"

"Yes, let's see the joke first!"

Ministry of Punishment.

"Ling Jiyou!"

"I'm here!" Ling Jiyou hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the superior doctor of the Criminal Department. He thought to himself what had happened and why he had summoned everyone so solemnly to give orders so early in the morning. Could it be? What's the big deal again?

"You also know that there is still a vacancy for one of our ministers. If this case is done well, I will recommend you to the minister to fill this vacancy!" The doctor of the Ministry of Justice paused for a moment: "If the case is not done well, I will recommend you to fill this vacancy!" , then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

"This old man is trying to make a big deal again!" Ling Jiyou cursed in his heart, but he could only say loudly: "I will definitely do my best to solve the case!"

"Okay!" The doctor from the Criminal Department nodded: "The case files and documents are all here, and the relevant personnel are also in the room on the left. You can take a look at the case files first, and then go to the interrogation. I will give you a reminder first: this case is uterine. Everyone inside and in the political hall are watching, and no one is allowed to rest until there is a result!" "I obey the order!" Ling Jiyou cursed as he received the case file and exited the door, seeing a colleague standing outside. , with a bitter look on his face, it was obvious that he had just received the order from the superior officer.

"Scrivee Ling, I advise you to ask your family to send you the bedding first. It seems that this case will not be settled for three to five days!" The colleague smiled bitterly and said, "I have already asked my family to send the bedding!"

"Thank you, Brother Li, for reminding me!" Ling Jiyou said with a bitter smile, "I'll have my servants move the bedding immediately!"

Ling Jiyou ordered his servants, then went to the left wing and looked through the case files.Just after reading two or three pages, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. Based on his experience in the Ministry of Justice in the past few years, he had roughly judged that this case was not complicated. It was mostly an accidental vendetta or love killing. , otherwise there would be no need to kill people in front of the night watchmen on Tianjie at night, and let the deceased be so disgraceful, holding a naked woman.There are too many simpler, safer, and less noticeable ways to kill Wu Sansi.But Chang'an's case has never been difficult. The case itself is not difficult. Just now, the boss has made it very clear: "Everyone in the palace and the political hall is watching." What does this mean? ——If the answer you finally give dissatisfies a big shot above, don't blame your boss for not warning you in advance.As a person in charge of the Ninth Grade, you need to first understand the background of this case, and come up with a conclusion that is acceptable to all parties based on the attitudes and abilities of the gods behind the case. This is really not an easy task. matter.

After flipping through the case files several times, Ling Jiyou came to the wing, which had been converted into a temporary prison to guard those who were present that night.Ling Jiyou first called the housekeeper Wu Sansi at the time. He might be the person closest to the crime scene except that woman.

"Are you the butler who washes the prince's horses?"

"Yes, he is the villain!" The butler who was kneeling on the ground was pale and frightened. It was obvious that he had not had a good sleep since that night. Ling Jiyou looked at the case file in his sleeve: "According to the confession in the file, The sergeant on night watch said that your master went out late at night because his concubine had an emergency, so he went out to take her to see a doctor, right?"

"Yes, yes, this is indeed the case!" The housekeeper nodded quickly.

"Hmm! So, the woman sitting with your master on the sedan chair is the concubine who is suffering from an emergency?"

"This -" the housekeeper was suddenly speechless. Ling Jiyou saw this and said coldly: "You have to think clearly about what is going on. This is the Ministry of Justice, and this is not a place for random talk!"

"Well, actually that woman is not the master's concubine!" the housekeeper whispered.

"Who is that?"

"It was just a sweetheart of the master's family. She was the woman of a merchant. The merchant was away, so the master took her to his house to hang out. It was dark and he couldn't go home, so the master -"

"Okay, you don't need to say anything!" Ling Jiyou interrupted the housekeeper: "Then the emergency is also a fiction?"

"Yes!" The housekeeper lowered his head: "These are all made up temporarily by the villain to deal with the soldiers on night watch. The situation at that time was really untrue. Please forgive me, sir!"

"Your matter will be judged by others later on. All you have to do now is tell the truth!" Ling Jiyou spoke and took up a pen to copy down what the housekeeper just said.Ling Jiyou had nothing to say but contempt for Wu Sansi, who was considered a member of the heavenly family, and Duke Zhou and Prince Xima actually lived together with a merchant's wife, and even sent her home in person in violation of the night ban.But this case is no longer something he can comment on from a mere ninth grade. The only thing he can do is to get as much real information in his hands as possible and then act according to the circumstances.

"Then what was the situation at that time? Say it again!" Ling Jiyou said.

"Yes!" the housekeeper responded: "That night, the villain took a dozen servants and escorted the master out of the house in a sedan chair. He was already approaching the woman's residence when he suddenly encountered soldiers on patrol in front of him. The master took away his Give me your badge and let the villain send away the night watch officers and soldiers——"

"Wait a minute!" Ling Jiyou shouted at the housekeeper: "You said you were almost at the woman's residence. I read in the case file that the murder was near Qihuafang. Does that mean the woman's house is also in that area?"

"Yes, that woman lives in Qihuafang!" said the housekeeper.

"Come here!" Ling Jiyou called a scribe and wrote a note: "Go to Qihua Square immediately and summon the owner of the square. I have something to ask him!"

"Yes!"

"Well, go ahead!"

"Yes!" The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead with a look of fear on his face: "The villain dealt with the soldiers on guard at night and returned the waist badge to the owner. At that time, the woman stretched out her hand and took the waist badge. The villain was about to tell everyone to go on their way when a man rushed out from the diagonal stab. He staggered as if he was drunk. He bumped into the villain and me. The force was so strong that I couldn't stand still and took a few steps back. I happened to bump into the sedan, and in a panic I reached out and grabbed it, tearing off a large piece of the sedan curtain, and then I heard a sharp scream from behind."

"Screaming? Who is it? Your master or that woman?"

"Woman? It's a female voice!"

"Then?" The housekeeper trembled: "Then I felt a gust of cold wind blowing by. My hands and feet suddenly became stiff and I couldn't move. Then I saw a shadow flashing, and many locust leaves on the roadside fell down -"

"What a mess!" Ling Jiyou dropped the brush in his hand: "I asked you to tell what happened next, not to talk nonsense!"
