Wei Shu

A murder occurred in the capital.

This is what Cheng Huai told Wei Shu.

And this case was the reason why Cheng Wei didn't return for several days.

According to Cheng Huai, the case was so important that it had been brought to the attention of the officials, and the emperor had personally inquired about it.However, regarding the details of this case, since it involves the court and there are many secrets, it is difficult for him, a student of Taixue, to say much.

Cheng Ji also echoed his rhetoric, and the two brothers also said that the joint investigation department seemed to be some kind of taboo. They searched in many ways, but they didn't find any useful clues, so they had to return with regret.

Wei Shu was dubious about this.

With her current identity and the current situation, it is better to be quiet than to move, and she also has to guard against someone attacking the Cheng family, so no matter what Cheng Huai or others say, she can only listen to it.

Cheng Wei was not at home, and Cheng Si, the elder of the West Mansion, was seriously injured. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Cheng Mansion was a bit deserted. A young female family member burned incense and worshiped the moon in front of the big flower hall, and old lady Feng died.

The whole family didn't get together, so there was no way to talk about the word "reunion". Obviously, Lao An didn't have any idea to celebrate this festival, and it was just a spectacle.

Wei Shu suffered from cold poisoning, so she stayed behind closed doors that night, and only heard Cheng Yuejiao mutter afterwards that after the banquet, Hua Shi and Fang Qiaoxin seemed to have exchanged words. In the second bedroom courtyard, they closed the door with Fang Qiaoxin and talked for a long time.

And when she left the house, her complexion was very ugly, her nose was not her nose, her eyes were not her eyes, she threw the door curtain all the way high, it seemed that she had a big quarrel with Fang Qiaoxin.

Naturally, these things did not affect the little girl's mood, and she was probably the only one in the whole family who felt that everything was fine.

In the past few days, this Jiaojiaoer has searched all over the gardens of the East Mansion, found many ant nests and bird nests, and climbed the trees several times. To get rid of the nervousness when returning home for the first time, he even gave Wei Shu a few bird eggs to make soup for her body.

Living in a secluded place, the little girl's clear and carefree laughter added a bit of vitality to the Cheng family, and also made Wei Shu feel that this mansion had a bit of a "home" look.

It was not until the fifth day after the festival that Cheng Wei was able to return home, and Wei Shu, who was already anxious, found a free time to meet him.

The weather has been bad these few days, the autumn rain has been lingering, and the wind has already added a few layers of chill. On the stone path outside the study, many withered and yellow leaves are scattered. When walking past, the feet are covered with mud, but the leaves have been soaked by the rain. Rotten.

Wei Shu stood on the stone path holding a green cloth umbrella, slightly raised her head and looked at Cheng Wei who was not far away, with surprise in her eyes.

The evening rain was rustling, washing the whole world into a cold, under the gray sky, was Cheng Wei's thin figure who almost lost his shape.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but this man's appearance has changed drastically. His cheeks are sunken and his cheekbones are raised. The dim light of the sky casts deep shadows on his face, and he is wearing a blue shirt. Down, outlining the outline of his thin shoulders and neck, he looked very haggard.

Fortunately, the calmness between his brows and eyes is still there, his demeanor is as calm as usual, and he seems to be in good spirits.

According to Wei Shu's knowledge, a person can become so thin in a short period of time, either because of poor food and accommodation, or... because of going to the Fireworks and Willow Lane, and forcibly ruining his body.

But the official system of the Song Dynasty strictly forbids prostitution, and according to Wei Shu's observation, Cheng Wei still seems to have a trace of a lone minister, presumably with his intelligence, he will never make such a big mistake that can be dismissed from office.

In this way, what Cheng Huai said is actually the truth, Cheng Wei is really busy with official duties, and judging from the frowning of the man in front of him, the murder case may have encountered a lot of trouble, and this trouble has not yet been solved. Unsolved.

"I'm asking Cheng Feng to investigate directly, do you have any clues?" Wei Shu didn't look at the judge of Kaifeng Mansion anymore, but turned her eyes to look at the empty courtyard outside the umbrella, and asked softly.

"The Joint Investigation Department...may be abolished." Cheng Wei said, his voice was calm and cold like this autumn rain.

Wei Shu suddenly turned her head.

At this moment, these few words were like a slap on the head by Jiao Lei to her, which made her heart jump.

Is the FBI going to be abolished?

So what about the Changfeng Battalion, which belongs to the Joint Investigation Department?

Speaking of which, Wei Shu knows very little about this mysterious government family that has been inherited from the former Han Dynasty until now. He only knows that the FDI's responsibilities include internal affairs and foreign affairs.

But right now, the FBI seems to be no longer what it used to be, otherwise, where would the talk of abolishment come from?
Besides, in this whole world, except for the Son of Heaven, who would dare to touch it?
"Is this what the officials mean? What's the reason? Is Cheng Fengzhi sure that it was abolished rather than merged into a government office?"

Wei Shu asked three questions in a row, her voice was not urgent, but the questions she asked were to the point, pointing to the point.

Cheng Wei gave her a slightly surprised look.

A "hero" who is "infinitely powerful and unrivaled in martial arts" (Jiaojiao), a "female hero" who smashed the Linglong Stone of Jinxiu Hall with a slap in front of everyone (Jiaojiao), can Based on his words alone, he could see through the doorway above the court, and the questions he asked were mature and mature, neither like a woman, nor like a Jianghu person, nor like a young man.

It's really strange.

However, thinking about it the other way around, if the red carp pouch is really like this, what the woman said is not only about the court, but also about the safety of the Song Dynasty, then her words and deeds are also in line with what she is planning.

Cheng Wei didn't reply in a hurry, but stretched out his arms as a gesture of invitation, and led Wei Shu to turn up a gravel path, before saying slowly:

"Sorry, I can't answer any of the girls' questions. The FBI was originally not under the three provinces and six ministries, and the key points are far beyond the reach of me, a judge. I only know one thing: the abolition is true. It was reported three days ago, and three days ago, it coincided with the court meeting."

He stopped talking, and there was no expression on Qingjun's face.

Wei Shu clenched the green umbrella in her hand.

The transparent rain line slanted down, and the sound of peeling and pecking came from the umbrella surface, quiet and lonely, embedded in Cheng Wei's plain voice, indescribably desolate.

Wei Shu stared at him.

Misty and rainy, the green robe in front of me was blurred by the rain curtain, and it seemed a little blurry. Farther away, the cold and damp wind was sweeping across the eaves, and a few autumn grasses grew under the gray-white corner, with thin yellow leaves hanging weakly. It seemed that he lowered his head in the cold wind and rain.

As soon as the court meeting was over, the news came out. Could it be...the abolition of the Joint Investigation Department was not the emperor's intention, but someone raised it at the court meeting?

Yes, it must be so.
