Yan Cigui.

Golden Palace.

Shan Shen came out of the queue, looking annoyed.

Shuntian Mansion did not catch the murderer of Dao Heng, and even had no further clues.

The case was not progressing smoothly, and the other courtiers had to ask questions.

Shan Shen didn't defend himself and just listened to others' criticism.

His "guilty" look actually made others feel embarrassed to ask questions.

No one even asked how the portrait was witnessed.

Xu Jian stood at his position and looked back at Shan Shen.

I have to say that Master Shan is really good at pretending to be dead.

They knew from the beginning that they would not be able to catch the real culprit.

Releasing the reward portrait is just forcing the opponent to give up.

If you say they have moves, they are very passive. If you say they don't have moves, they can make the opponent very miserable.

However, it is not on the surface.

Those plots and persecutions will not be revealed in the case files, in front of the civil and military ministers, or even in front of the Holy Lord. They will only be kept quietly, making it appear that Shuntian Mansion is helpless.

Master Shan was also very cheerful in doing things. He agreed to check for three days that day, so it was three days. When the time was up, he went straight to the morning to express that he had tried his best but was unable to do anything.

After all, with their portraits plastered on them, you can't say they were just dawdling around and not doing anything serious.

Xu Jian withdrew his eyes from Shan Shen, then quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the Holy Emperor.

Master Shan is indeed confident.

Just as Xu Jian said to Shan Shen and Wantang in the yamen that day, this case is probably "let it go". Firstly, it involves too many things that Shuntian Mansion and the garrison yamen can handle. Secondly, the Holy Emperor does not want to delay it again. drag.

There is a similar result and the case is closed. This is the Holy Spirit's idea.

Shan Shen is following the holy will, so this is naturally the case.

Sure enough, even if a few honest people raised doubts about whether the murderer's portrait was accurate, Shan Shen didn't explain much.

Wantang, on the other hand, lost his temper and said angrily: "Have all the adults seen the portrait of the murderer?

Leave a little impression. If you encounter someone on the street in the future, please tell us immediately to the garrison yamen or Shuntian Mansion, and we will arrest them immediately.

We only have so many manpower, and the capital is so big, so we have to rely on all your pairs of eyes to find people for us. "

After Wantang finished speaking, there was silence for a moment.

Only Xu Jian curled her lips and smiled silently.

The Holy One is sitting on the dragon throne.

He saw Xu Jian's expression and said to himself, he has really improved a lot in the past six months, and he even watched it quietly for fun.

After thinking about it, the Holy Master was not too polite to Shan Shen, and finally said, "Continue to investigate."

Of course, Shan Shen knew it, and Xu Jian also knew it. It was just a saying, just listen to it.

After retreating from the court, Xu Jian was summoned to the imperial study.

Eunuch Cao led him in.

Xu Jian bowed and took his seat, took the tea cup and took a sip.

The Holy One asked directly: "Did you tell Shan Aiqing that there was no need to investigate to the end?"

"No," Xu Jian replied, "Sir Shan is trying his best to investigate, but the progress is really limited."

The Holy Lord laughed, but his tone showed no hint of happiness or displeasure: "Shan Aiqing is a really good-tempered person, let him check half of it..."

The Holy Spirit did not say the second half of the words.

Xu Jian understood clearly and said: "It's really uncomfortable to check half of the investigation, but Master Shan has been an official for many years and knows the importance of it. On the contrary, I am a minister who is inexperienced and should listen more to the opinions of Master Shan and Master Wan."

The Holy One smiled again, this time with a little more smile.

Wantang is indeed a shrewd person. He is more thoughtful than Shan Shen. He is a person who can put forward "stop until the point is reached".

"Listen to what you said," the Holy Master followed Xu Jian's words and said, "Are you not satisfied with checking half of it?"

Xu Jian did not answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao was keen and understood what Xu Jian meant, but he had to listen to the Holy Father.

The Holy Emperor's fingertips clicked twice.

Eunuch Cao agreed, went to the middle hall, sent out all the waiting servants, and left only a confidant to guard him. Then he returned to the imperial palace and stood respectfully.

Xu Jian then said: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but that I can't get over it."

With this statement, not to mention Eunuch Cao raising his eyes, even the Holy Emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Xu Jian added: "The outside world doesn't know the inside story, but I, who handled it, know that the two gold bricks in Chenmi Hutong were released by me and have nothing to do with the deposed prince.

Master Shan didn't know, and neither did Master Wan. They were chasing the deposed prince, and they were also looking for the ancient moon man's golden paper.

The line about the deposed prince is not easy to trace. The envoy from Gu Yue has already left the capital. The two yamen are beyond their reach. They can only go east and west. Every bit of progress has to be mixed together and analyzed together. This What can be analyzed? "

All the clues and evidence are being faked. Follow the false clues and dig all the way. It would be really rare if you could find the real culprit.

Of course, this "rareness" was His Majesty's idea.

Xu Jian knew from the beginning that he had fabricated evidence, but he was going in the right direction.

The real culprit was indeed forced to have his tail docked.

"I'm in Shuntian Mansion every day, watching people walking around the fake gold bricks. I feel so sorry." Xu Jian said.

Hearing what he said, His Majesty raised his eyebrows and said, "Shan Ai Qing is really in a dilemma."

Xu Jian pretended to collect his thoughts and said: "I thought that the death of Dao Heng was already an unexpected gain.

The person behind Dao Heng is difficult to catch. As you know, he is related to Wang Liu's group.

You didn't want to hand over the case related to the deposed prince to the Shuntian Mansion, so last year you brought Wang Sixian back to the palace and handed it over to Duke Cao for trial.

First of all, Master Shan is not easy to deal with. When he investigated the British government before, you had to ask your ministers to support him as reinforcements. This has nothing to do with his ability, but with his identity.

Secondly, the main responsibility of Shuntian Mansion is to deal with major and minor matters in the Gyeonggi Province. If too much energy is involved in investigating a case that is difficult to make progress, the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, half-checking and giving up halfway are no solutions. "

The Holy One looked deeply at Xu Jian.

He knew that Xu Jian was capable, and he also knew that Xu Jian was young and needed experience, but he also saw the progress in the past six months.

Compared with the time when I was reluctantly sent to the Ministry of War, I have made much progress.

Moreover, Xu Jian's vision became more and more accurate.

"Is this all there is?" the Holy Master asked deliberately.

Xu Jian was silent for a moment.

He knew that the Holy One would ask these questions.

After he said the previous words, the Holy Spirit would definitely ask.

Therefore, his attitude in silence was very particular. He seemed to be hesitant, but in fact, Xu Jian knew it well: "It is not a good thing for His Highness to check for too long. You can go as far as you want. Master Shan and Master Wan can indeed do it." You can guess it. If you insist on letting their two yamen investigate and get to the bottom of it, then you are just going to bite the bullet and they will continue to investigate."

The Holy Emperor was noncommittal, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

The tribute tea was excellent, and the waiter in the royal study was very good at making the tea. But for some reason, after taking this sip, the Holy Master felt a slight astringency.

It's so astringent that my throat feels uncomfortable.

What are Shan Shen and Wantang tabooing about?Naturally, they are taboo on Shao'er and taboo on him.

This is how kings and ministers get along.

It is said that "attempting to divine the will of the Holy Spirit" is a sin, but in fact it is not the same thing.

If you don't understand his thoughts at all, you don't take the saint seriously and bully the "little master".

After inferring and not understanding, that is too stupid. There are so many things to do every day. Who can bear to deal with a group of idiots every day?If the world's major events are placed on the heads of idiots, can the common people still live a good life?The Holy One likes people who can figure things out, and even more likes people who can figure things out clearly.

This time, Shan Shen and Wantang obviously figured it out, but the Lord was still not feeling comfortable.

The reason is that Shaoer failed to live up to his expectations.

After all these things happened, and this was the situation, not only he, the father, was cleaning up the mess for Shao'er, but so were all the people investigating the case.

Xu Jian had to think of a way to make two fake gold bricks...

It is reasonable to raise a son and take care of him.

When kings and ministers get along, Xu Jian has said before that it is necessary to save His Highness.

But whether it's reasonable or it should be done, it has to come to an end, and it can't go on like this for a long time.

In other words, at least it has to be something real and big.

It's not that Chen Mi Hutong mentioned a few things that even made his old face blush.

Shao'er is young, but not that young anymore.

She also calmed down and watched the government and worked hard. Xu Jian looked more and more decent, but Shaoer didn't know the importance!
This is not a problem that can be solved by calling Shaoer over and scolding him.

"If there are clues, investigate. If there are no clues, we can only shelve it." The Holy Master cleared his throat, "Shan Aiqing can clear it up, let him go."

Xu Jian responded "Yes".

The Holy Emperor looked at Xu Jian and said, "I saw you smiling when I came to court this morning."

Xu Jian said: "I think Master Wan's words are very reasonable."

"Okay, I'm better than before," the Holy Master breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you have fun, just hold it in check."

At this point, Xu Jian knew that it was almost done, so he simply changed the subject: "You are going to marry a wife, so you have to make progress."

When mentioning the happy things, the Holy Father relaxed a lot: "Yes, we will have a rest in a while. How are you preparing?"

"Uncle An Yi and Mrs. An make the decision," Xu Jian replied, "I have nothing to do."

The Holy Spirit asked again: "How are you getting along with Ning'an?"

"I haven't seen the princess for some time." Xu Jian said.

Holy shit.

For unmarried couples, it is not difficult to say that they meet each other, but it is not that easy to say that it is easy.

Especially when a small date has been set, it is not appropriate to go to the door, nor is it appropriate to invite people out.

Turning to look at Eunuch Cao, the Holy Master asked, "Has the Queen Mother summoned Ning'an to the palace these days?"

Eunuch Cao didn't know, so he went out to ask.

While waiting for the news, the Holy Father casually asked Xu Jian a few more questions.

He nodded slightly when he learned that Xu Miao had moved back to his house and was preparing for a wedding with Mrs. An Yibo.

It's always good to have someone to worry about.

Xu Jian is also willing to let her biological mother worry.

Unlike before, Liu Jing was not allowed to intervene at all.

Not long after, Eunuch Cao came in and reported: "The princess will enter the palace tomorrow afternoon."

After hearing this, the Holy Father said to Xu Jian, "Did you hear that?"

Xu Jian stood up and thanked him.

The Holy Master nodded with satisfaction and signaled Xu Jian to leave.

Eunuch Cao sent Xu Jian out and returned to the imperial court to add some tea to the emperor: "This marriage has really touched the heart of the Duke, and more than that, I think the princess is also very satisfied."

The Holy Emperor chuckled: "I'm really good at being a matchmaker."

After leaving the imperial study, Xu Jian walked out calmly.

He wasn't talking nonsense. It was true that he hadn't seen Lin Yunyan for some time.

It's not that there's nothing you can do, it's just that you have to be more cautious.

Forcing the opponent to dock his tail twice also puts himself on the bright side. If someone is watching...

Xu Jian is not afraid of people staring at him.

He is not agile enough now, but he is not in a wheelchair or had difficulty traveling before. It is not easy to keep an eye on him.

In fact, Xuan Su is proficient in this method, and if the person on the other side doesn't notice, Xuan Su will be targeted in turn.

But Lin Yunyan is different.

Her whereabouts are easy to follow.

Once Taohe Zhai is targeted, other troubles will easily arise. One more thing is worse than one less thing.

In this case, it is better to say a few words in Cining Palace.

The Holy Spirit took the initiative to open this door, which saved Xu Jian a lot of energy.

At the same time, Lin Yunyan was not in the mansion, her carriage was outside the Hanlin Academy.

Lin Yu came out of the hospital and didn't let his daughter get out of the car. He stood by the car curtain and talked to her: "Are you so impatient?"

Lin Yunyan smiled and nodded: "I'm very anxious."

Lin Yu couldn't help laughing.

The father and daughter were talking about Yu Pu.

Probably because he lived in Lao Shi Alley in advance and could prepare for Enke with peace of mind, Yu Pu did much better in the exam than Lin Yunyan thought.

What hasn't changed is that this new scholar entered the Hanlin Academy and became a scholar.

For a student from a poor background, this was a very good path.

Knowing that the government was paying attention to the student who had saved Lin Yunjing, Chen Gui mentioned it to the government twice. As he talked, even his grandmother noticed that Chen Gui admired Yu Pu very much.

"After setting the errand, he took the initiative to come to the shop to find me and discuss repaying the money."

"The money that was funded at that time was originally agreed to be loaned to him, but he insisted on paying it back."

"It's very practical and sincere. I didn't agree haphazardly. I made a list of how I plan to pay it back and how long I want to pay it back."

"I asked him to think more about it, and he said he had already thought about it."

"In the first year of becoming an official, I spent a lot of money on various miscellaneous things. On a quarterly basis, it will be less every quarter. From the second year on, I can spend more every quarter."

"I know there is no shortage of these things in the house, but I have to have a correct attitude."

"He said with a blushing face that if he encounters some situation in the future and his money is really tight, he will discuss it with me again to relax a little."

"You said it so seriously, I was embarrassed to ask him not to give it to me."

When Chen Gui spoke, there were many people in Zai Shou Yuan, and everyone was entertained. Grandma was also laughing.

Lin Yunyan knew that all smiles were kind.

Grandma herself is a person who keeps her word and is very sincere. How could she not be happy when meeting such a real person?
In April, the eldest sister had been raised for a hundred days. Chen Gui took the lead and thanked Yu Pu face to face in Shenghui Pavilion. She was polite and thoughtful.

Lin Yunyan didn't let Chen Gui tell her story that day, and she quietly looked at it next door.

Dong Chen's family is reliable in doing things, but he is not very good at seeing whether there are any horoscopes.

After all, Jingdong's family mentioned that at the beginning of the cooperation between the two governments in Lao Shih Alley, he saw that the Duke and the princess had some signs of it, but Chen Gui was completely unprepared and did not notice it even after being reminded.

So Lin Yunyan had to trust her own eyes on this matter.

After reading this, the eldest sister and Yu Pu politely thanked each other, and Lin Yunyan probably knew better.

Yu Pu was nervous.

It was only April at that time, and they hadn't talked for more than a quarter of an hour, but Yu Pu was so nervous that he sweated a lot. (End of chapter)
