People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 257: Stealing credit? Lin Feng takes action and confronts the fourth-rank Shaoqing!

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Zhao Shiwu quickly looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng calmly restored the bed and said, "Who is it?"

Then I heard Zhao Xieyang's voice outside the door: "Lin Sizheng, I'm back, and I've brought all the files you asked for."

Hearing Zhao Xieyang's voice, Lin Feng gave Zhao Shiwu a look, and Zhao Shiwu quickly came to the door and opened it.

crunch--

As the door opened, Zhao Xieyang appeared outside the door, wiping his sweat and panting.

He quickly walked in, passed through the outer room, and came to Lin Feng.

"Lin Si is right." Zhao Xieyang saluted Lin Feng hurriedly.

Seeing Lin Feng say this, Zhao Xieyang naturally did not dare to hide it anymore.

But having said that, since Gao Xianyang was determined to stop Zhao Xieyang, how did Zhao Xieyang get the file?

There are two young ministers in Dali Temple. After Wang Jian died, Xiao Yu was not in Dali Temple, so the only remaining young minister, Gao Xingcheng, was indeed the top talker in Dali Temple. He did not let Zhao Xieyang transfer the files, and Zhao Xieyang also There's really no way.

He looked at Zhao Xieyang and said, "What's going on? Someone is making things difficult for you?"

"The person who made things difficult for him has a low status?"

Doesn't he hope that he will obtain the position of Shaoqing? Is he in a different position from Xiao Yu?

Lin Feng had a guess in his mind, but his background was Xiao Yu, the minister of Dali Temple. Lin Feng really didn't fear anyone in the three-thirds of an acre of land in Dali Temple.

"Not bad?"

Lin Feng saw through Zhao Xieyang's thoughts at a glance. He knew that Zhao Xieyang must be making things difficult, but Zhao Xieyang didn't want to cause trouble as soon as he arrived at Dali Temple, or he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he didn't want to say more.

Could it be that Xiao Yu came back from the East Palace?

Or has something else happened?
Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang and motioned for Zhao Xieyang to continue.

Zhao Xieyang said: "Xiaoguan found Lin Sizheng's Si Cheng and explained the situation to them, but they did not dare to offend Gao Shaoqing and found reasons to refuse. Just when Xiaguan wanted to give up, he wanted to come back to Lin Sizheng to explain the situation. At this time, Zhang Sicheng stood up and said that he could help Xia Guan intercede with Gao Shaoqing. "

Now it is certain that Gao Jingcheng or his father Gao Shilian must have other supporters, so they pretended to be confused and deliberately made things difficult for themselves and delayed the progress of their investigation.

Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Xieyang who was sweating profusely, nodded slightly, and said, "Did it go well?"

Fortunately, Dali Temple also has a man named Zhang Wei who has a very good background. Zhang Wei's father is Zhang Liang, one of his achievements in following Li Shimin. When he spoke, Gao Jingcheng had to give him face.

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. Is the other Dali Temple young minister Gao Jingxing?

Lin Feng nodded. There was nothing wrong with Zhao Xieyang's approach, but Zhao Xieyang had already brought out the imperial edict, and Gao Fuli still continued to embarrass him... It seemed that Gao Xiuxi really didn't want to solve the case on his own.

But precisely because of this, he indirectly owed Zhang Wei a favor.

"But Gao Shaoqing said that he had not received His Majesty's order and had not heard about it. He still refused to allow the subordinate to take the file away. The subordinate had no choice but to go to Lin Sizheng's Si Cheng and ask them to help Gao Shaoqing. intercede."

Listening to the twists and turns of Zhao Xieyang's story, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The position of Shaoqing really revealed the face that was originally hidden under the gentle surface.

Zhao Xieyang said: "They are all outside. Zhang Sicheng personally helped Xiaguan deliver them here... and..."

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Zhang Wei?"

Does he have other supporters?
"What happened next?" Lin Feng asked.

"Zhang Sicheng?"

Zhao Xieyang continued: "Your Majesty knew how urgent Lin Si was investigating the case, and how much time would be lost this time. How could he come back to apply to Xiao Siqing again, so he explained the situation to Gao Shaoqing and said that His Majesty had already It is agreed that Lin Sizheng is investigating Wang Shaoqing’s case, and Lin Sizheng should be qualified to obtain the corresponding files. "

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "That means it's not going well?"

Zhao Xieyang pursed his lips and said: "Xiaguan is new here and may not be very familiar with the procedures of Dali Temple, so maybe they did not deliberately embarrass Xiaguan."

"Then Zhang Sicheng found Gao Shaoqing. I didn't know what they said, but when Zhang Sicheng came out, he told me that I could go get Wang Shaoqing's files."

But... Gao Fuli should know that Zhao Xieyang is his, and he should also know that he is here to investigate Wang Jian's case. Why would he embarrass Zhao Xieyang?

"Gao Shaoqing?"

In addition... Gao Fuling's father is Gao Shilian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who is considered a relative of the emperor. Therefore, he is considered a relatively special existence in Dali Temple. Even Xiao Yu has to worry about Gao Shilian's face and will not treat Gao Fuling. The requirements are too high, so if Gao Fuli deliberately embarrasses himself, it would be really difficult to deal with it.

Zhao Xieyang hesitated for a moment and then said: "It went smoothly."

He took a deep breath, and couldn't help but feel that the time to investigate the case was even more urgent. His competitors were not only Zhou Helin in front of him, but many other people were also working hard, so he really had to hurry up. Now that Shao Qing's relationship was clear, In the competition for position, he cannot give up the opportunity.

Zhao Xieyang nodded quickly: "That's him. Zhang Sicheng said that his father has a good relationship with Gao Shaoqing's father. Zhang Sicheng also has a good relationship with Gao Shaoqing in private. He can try to intercede. If the official sees someone willing to help, naturally Nod quickly."

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Xieyang and said, "You just need to tell me without adding any embarrassment. I will judge whether it complies with the procedures and whether it really embarrasses you."

Lin Feng took a long breath, calmed down his divergent thoughts, and said, "Where is the file?"

Not to mention, he is now competing for the position of Shaoqing. If he can't even protect the confidant he just brought, how will he let others take his place in the future?
"explain."

Fortunately... the investigation of the case has reached an advanced stage, and the truth is not far away.

Although Lin Feng held an important position as head of the Dali Temple, he had been busy investigating cases and had not had much contact with Gao Xiuxi. He did not have the opportunity to go deep into the factional struggles in the court, so he really didn't know which faction these people belonged to.

He said: "Xiaoguan returned to Dali Temple with Lin Sizheng's password to retrieve Wang Shaoqing's files. But at that time, Gao Shaoqing happened to be checking the files in the file room. After hearing what Xiaguan said, he said Wang Shaoqing's files The level is very high, and Lin Sizheng can be transferred out with just one sentence. If Lin Sizheng really needs the file, then he needs to go back to Lin Sizheng and ask Lin Sizheng to ask for a warrant from Xiao Siqing. With Xiao Siqing's warrant, , to call it out.”

Thinking again that Zhang Wei entered the Dali Temple in his vacancy... Lin Feng only felt that everything was God's will. If he had not become the chief minister of the Dali Temple, Zhang Wei would not have become the prime minister of the Dali Temple. Zhang Wei would not have succeeded. Dali Si Cheng, today's file may not be available for a while. At this moment, even Lin Feng somewhat believed in fate.

He looked at Lin Feng, glanced outside, and lowered his voice: "Gao Shaoqing is here too."

"What?" Zhao Fifteen was stunned: "Gao Shaoqing is here too? What is he here for? It's not enough to embarrass my foster father in Dali Temple, why should he come here to embarrass him?"

Zhao Xieyang did not dare to speak out as boldly as Zhao Shiwu. He said: "Gao Shaoqing said that these files are very important and there must be no mistakes. He needs to keep an eye on them personally... Also, he said that he has an irreconcilable relationship with Wang Shaoqing. Now that Wang Shaoqing was killed by a thief, he also wanted to investigate for Wang Shaoqing, so he came..."

Zhao Xieyang paused for a moment before continuing: "I also want to find out the truth."

"Find out the truth? What truth did he find out? I think he is just here to steal credit and cause trouble!" Zhao Shiwu had a bad temper and directly stated Gao Fuli's purpose.

Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard this. He had just arrived and didn't dare to say anything.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It's interesting. I have a close relationship with Wang Shaoqing, but he didn't come to investigate the case for five days. But now that I'm here, he's also here. This is through me." Did you just remember your relationship with Wang Shaoqing?"

Zhao Xieyang couldn't help feeling that his scalp was numb. Listening to Lin Feng's words, he always felt like goosebumps were rising. Lin Feng obviously said this with a smile, but why did he feel more nervous than Zhao Shishi's angry words.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng, Gao Shaoqing wants to investigate the case, what about us?"

Zhao Shiwu also looked at Lin Feng hurriedly.

Then Lin Feng smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten what County Magistrate Zhou did to me before?"

The two of them were stunned, and Zhao Xieyang couldn't help but said: "Does Lin Sizheng want it?"

Lin Feng said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Gao Shaoqing likes to behave according to the rules, so we should behave according to the rules with him..."

Lin Feng had never been a submissive person. There was no reason for Gao Jishi to make things difficult for him, and he had to treat him nicely. Since Gao Jishi had made it clear that he would not support him, there was no need for him to maintain any superficial harmony.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't do it impulsively and without thinking.

On the one hand, he has Xiao Yu's backing and is not afraid of Gao's execution.

On the other hand, he knew very well that if he finally got the position of Shaoqing, an official like Gao Fuli would not target him just because he had a conflict with Gao Fuli today, and if he didn't get the position of Shaoqing in the end, , Gao Jixiu will not treat him well just because of his concession today. Officialdom is the most realistic place, and level determines everything.

Therefore, whether he swallows his anger today or vents his anger, the result will be the same, so why should he take a step back and let himself become more and more angry?

"Let's go."

Lin Feng took one last look at the direction of the bed, then turned and walked out: "Go and meet my good colleague Gao Shaoqing and see how he wants to investigate the case."

When a few people came to the front yard, they saw that Zhou Helin had already arrived ahead of him. At this time, Zhou Helin was saluting Gao Xinghao.

Gao Xingli was wearing an official robe and was sitting on a stool drinking tea. He looked calm and raised his chin slightly. He looked at Zhou Helin with a look that was quite contemptuous.

Lin Feng took this scene into consideration and suddenly understood in his heart that it seemed that the person supported by Gao Fuling was not Zhou Helin. In this case, at this moment, he and Zhou Helin were partners on the same front.

Things in this world are so interesting. One second they were arguing with each other, and the next second they were fighting against each other.

Lin Feng quickened his pace and quickly came to Gao Fuli and bowed his hands clearly, without giving Gao Fuli a chance to find fault, and said, "I have met Gao Shaoqing."

Gao Xingyi listened to Lin Feng's words, gently swayed the tea cup, and said calmly: "Lin Si is now a famous man. Not only does your majesty praise you, but the people also call you a detective. I don't dare to accept your great gift, just in case. Isn’t it embarrassing for me to be said to be unworthy of Detective Lin Feng’s worship?”

What he said was so sinister that Zhou Helin couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng secretly. Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear Gao Jingcheng's sarcasm, and he said calmly: "I am flattered to be praised by His Majesty, so in order to repay His Majesty's favor, the moment I received His Majesty's imperial edict, I vowed to do my best. Make every effort to find out the truth behind Wang Shaoqing’s murder, so that we can live up to the divine grace.”

"Ok?"

Gao Xingyi frowned, is this what I want to express? Are you only half-listening? When I face your sarcasm later, you won’t say anything at all, right?

Gao Xingcheng slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table with such force that the table jumped and the government officials around him shrank their necks in fright.

He looked at Lin Feng coldly and said, "It's rare for you to have such an idea. So Lin Si Zheng, our famous detective from Dali Temple, how is your investigation going after you have been investigating for so long? Since you know very well that His Majesty has placed a lot of emphasis on you. With high hopes, it should be very rewarding, right?”

Lin Feng smiled and said: "When Gao Shaoqing said that he investigated for a long time, did he mean the hour when the official came here to investigate?"

Gao Xingyi's eyes twitched: "..."

"If Gao Shaoqing is really referring to this hour, then Gao Shaoqing can ask County Magistrate Zhou how much he has harvested after five days of inspection, and how much he should have harvested after one hour of inspection." Lin Feng continued to smile.

Zhou Helin, who was eating melon on the side, was suddenly called upon: "..."

There's something wrong with you, right? You two are tit for tat, why are you involved with me... Zhou Helin glared at Lin Feng, but he also knew that the two of them were on the same front now, so he could only cough and say: "Gao Shaoqing doesn't know something. This case is really serious." The murderer is very cunning and the case is very complicated, so it really cannot be solved in a short time. "

"Excuse!"

This was what Gao Xingyi was waiting for. He slammed the table and said sternly: "My noble young minister of Dali Temple died unexpectedly. Do you know what kind of turmoil this has caused? Do you know how the people evaluate us? It's been five days, you guys If you can’t even figure out Shaoqing’s murder case, how can you make people believe in your abilities and believe that you can redress their injustice?”

"Why did His Majesty ask you to investigate the case? He wanted you to find out the truth as soon as possible, but what happened? You used the excuse that the murderer was cunning and the case was complicated! Are you worthy of His Majesty's trust?"

This big hat was slapped on, and Zhou Helin was immediately stunned.

When Lin Feng saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know Gao Xing's other abilities, but he was known as a good player.

Seeing that Zhou Helin was stunned by the scolding, Gao Jiancheng directly struck while the iron was hot and revealed his purpose, saying: "Looking at you like this, how can I trust you to hand over the case to you for investigation?"

"So, in order to quickly solve the case and find the real culprit who killed Wang Shaoqing, I have no choice but to take action personally. Now you should immediately inform me of the clues you have investigated. Then you can go and rest. I will find the real culprit." from."

"What!?"

After hearing Gao Xingcheng's words, Zhou Helin's expression suddenly changed.

He had been investigating for five days and had lost such a big face once. Finally, he had gained something. As a result, Gao Fuli immediately wanted to take away all the results and expel himself from the investigation team. How could he do this? accept.

He said: "Gao Shaoqing, I have been investigating for five days..."

"You still have the nerve to say five days!"

Gao Xingcheng slapped the table again and said coldly: "You wasted five full days, but you didn't even find the shadow of the real murderer. If His Majesty hadn't been lenient, do you think you could still be here to quibble with me?"

"The matter is settled like this!" Gao Jishi did not give Zhou Helin a chance to refute, and said directly: "Next, you should quickly inform me of what you found, and don't delay my investigation, otherwise it will delay the investigation time. Which of you can afford it?"

Zhou Helin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after being scolded by Gao Xingyi, he didn't know what to say.

I couldn't help but hesitate for a while.

When Lin Feng saw this scene, he shook his head in disappointment. When he just faced himself, he was asking His Majesty, but he was also secretly sarcastic. How come he became mute when he reached the next level of high performance?

He looked at Gao Xingxing, who was sitting steadily on the stool, looking down at him and Zhou Helin from above. His eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "I can understand Gao Shaoqing's intention to investigate the case. After all, I am also anxious inside, thinking The real culprit was discovered earlier, so I am willing to cooperate with Gao Shaoqing. "

"Oh?" Listening to Lin Feng's words, Gao Xingyi's face flashed with surprise. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so understanding. But soon, the surprise turned into more contempt. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Know the current affairs. If you are a hero, I know that Lin Sizheng is smart and knows how to choose, so Lin Sizheng should quickly tell you the clues you found."

Zhou Helin couldn't help but frown. When Lin Feng faced him just now, he suppressed himself to the point where he was unable to fight back. Why was he so scared now?

Just as he was wondering, he saw Lin Feng smiling and saying: "Yes, let me tell you right now. Gao Shaoqing will bring your Majesty's imperial edict quickly. When your Majesty sees the edict, he will definitely not hide anything and immediately report everything he finds out." Tell Gao Shaoqing."

"What imperial edict?" Gao Xingyi frowned.

When Lin Feng saw this, he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face. He said, "Gao Shaoqing doesn't have an imperial edict, does he?"

Before Gao Xingxing could speak, Lin Feng continued: "This case is very special, because the person who was killed was an important official of the imperial court, so His Majesty specifically ordered that no unrelated persons can get involved. Previously, I came here to investigate the case. Just because His Majesty's imperial edict has not yet arrived, County Magistrate Zhou almost didn't drive Xiaguan out. Even if Xiaguan revealed his lies, Magistrate Zhou would not allow him to investigate. "

After saying that, Lin Feng looked at Zhou Helin and said, "County Magistrate Zhou, right?"

Zhou Helin was astute and understood what Lin Feng meant in an instant. He nodded quickly and said, "That's right! The case is very complicated and the identity of the real murderer has not yet been determined. Therefore, no unrelated person can participate in this case until the truth is found out." Case! Unless someone like Lin Sizheng has His Majesty’s will!”

"So Gao Shaoqing..."

Zhou Helin looked at Gao Jingcheng, with a touch of joy in his tone, and said: "You really don't have an imperial edict, do you? If there is no imperial edict, let alone investigating the case, you can't even enter the palace... What if we are investigating the case? , found that some clues were destroyed, and you are the only outsider at the scene, Gao Shaoqing, I’m afraid it will be difficult for Gao Shaoqing to explain. "

"How could Magistrate Zhou say that!" Lin Feng said hurriedly: "Gao Shaoqing came here with good intentions. Although Gao Shaoqing did not obtain the imperial edict, Gao Shaoqing's desire to solve the case can be learned from the world! I think Gao Shaoqing is here to supervise us. It’s totally possible!”

Zhou Helin nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Lin Sizheng is right. It was me who said the ugly words. Gao Shaoqing can stay here to supervise our investigation. As long as Gao Shaoqing doesn't move back and forth, I will never doubt Gao Shaoqing."

Lin Feng and Zhou Helin, one with a white face and the other with a red face, cooperated very well. After a few words, they basically blocked everything Gao Jixi wanted to say.

This made Gao Luxing's face turn pale and blue, looking very ugly.

He thought that with their power, Lin Feng and Zhou Helin, who could be suppressed, did not dare to resist, but who knew that Lin Feng and Zhou Helin actually moved His Majesty out, and even sang along, blocking all his paths, making it impossible for him to find excuses. arrive.

Even if he wants to get angry now, he can't find a reason.

Seeing Gao Xingyi's face turn red from holding back, Lin Feng and Zhou Helin secretly glanced at each other and nodded immediately.

This kind of excuse was so familiar to them when they were facing each other tit for tat, that they were able to unleash their ultimate moves in a tacit understanding without having to practice.

"Everyone is trying to find out the truth as soon as possible, so why make it so tense."

At this time, a hearty laughter sounded, and a young man in his twenties who admired handsomeness came out. He cupped his hands to Lin Feng and said: "Lin Si Zheng, Gao Shaoqing is too anxious, so he rushes you. In fact, On the way here, Gao Shaoqing kept praising Lin Sizheng. He said that Lin Sizheng was like a god in solving cases and would never solve any case. With Lin Sizheng taking action, the case would definitely be caught. However, Gao Shaoqing was cold-faced and hot-hearted, but what he meant was not that. That’s appropriate, I hope Lin Sizheng will forgive me.”

Lin Feng looked at Zhang Wei who came out to be the peacemaker, and thought to himself, "What you said is as false as God's announcement of a handsome ranking, and I can only be ranked second." However, after all, Zhang Wei had helped Zhao Xieyang in Dali Temple before. siege, so I have to return the favor myself.

He smiled and said: "I see, Gao Shaoqing believed that we could find out the truth. Then why didn't Gao Shaoqing tell us directly? Gao Shaoqing's talk really almost made us misunderstand."

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Gao Shaoqing has such a temper. He actually has no ill intentions, so Gao Shaoqing also wants to find out the real culprit as soon as possible. So why not let Gao Shaoqing participate in the investigation together, and we can find out the real culprit together..."

"no!"

Before Zhang Wei could finish speaking, Zhou Helin said directly: "Your Majesty has a decree. Unrelated persons cannot participate in the investigation. This is an imperial decree... I do not dare to disobey."

Lin Feng owed Zhang Wei a favor, but Zhou Helin did not.

He has already seen that Gao Fuli is here to take credit. How could he allow his achievements to be taken away by others?

Lin Feng said that he relied on his ability to investigate the case. He would be convinced even if he lost, but Gao Jingcheng was obviously picking the fruit, and he was not willing to do so.

And he has Fang Xuanling as his backing, so he is not afraid of offending Gao Jingxing.

Gao Xingcheng glared at Zhou Helin fiercely, his eyes like knives.

Lin Feng gave Zhou Helin a thumbs up in his heart, with a confused look on his face: "Zhang Sicheng, you have also seen it. It's not that I don't want to, but that the sacred order cannot be violated."

What sacred order cannot be violated, whether it has nothing to do with others, is not a matter of Lin Feng and Zhou Helin's words, but they are unwilling to let go, and Gao Jiuxing has no choice.

Zhang Wei shrugged helplessly at Gao Xingcheng, and then said to Lin Feng with a smile: "I understand that since it is a sacred order, I believe Gao Shaoqing can also understand that Lin Si does not need to be under psychological pressure."

No wonder Zhang Wei was able to persuade Gao Jishi in Dali Temple. He is really good at behaving and speaking... Lin Feng nodded, and he handed over to Gao Jishi and said: "Gao Shaoqing, time is running out, so we will continue to investigate the case. If Gao Shaoqing cares about the case, you can I urge you here, and we promise not to drive Gao Shaoqing away."

Zhou Helin also raised his hands and smiled: "I also hope that Gao Shaoqing can supervise, so that Gao Shaoqing can watch us solve the case with his own eyes."

After saying that, they turned and left together without looking at Gao Xingyi's face as black as the bottom of a pot.

As he walked, Zhou Helin whispered: "Happy! Lin Sizheng, thank you for not being shocked by him just now, otherwise I would really have to bow my head. And once we bow our heads and give out words, there is really no way to stop him." ”

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I am also protecting my own interests."

"But..." He looked at Zhou Helin and said, "Do you know who Gao Shaoqing did it for?"

"Ha! Who else could it be?"

Zhou Helin sneered: "Apart from his relatives, Wannian County Magistrate Sun Pingan, who else is worthy of his shameless direct action?"

The eldest grandson is safe... Lin Feng suddenly nodded.

Also, the magistrate of Wannian County, Sun Ping'an, is also in the fifth rank, and has a richer background than Zhou Helin. He and Sun Ping'an investigated the disappearance of Zhao Shiwu together, and his abilities are not bad. He is indeed the most favorable competition for the position of Shaoqing. By.

He let out a breath. All the competitors were working hard, openly or covertly, and he had to work harder.

Fortunately, he has found the clues to the real murderer, and the next step is the clues to the accomplices.

And the accomplice...no surprise...

Lin Feng looked at the pile of files taken by Zhao Xieyang: "They will tell me the results..."
