Married three times as a concubine, the prince is playing tricks

Chapter 333 The Calm Before the Storm 1
Saying that, Shen Lingbo was about to walk out, but at this moment, Mu Jingnian's eyes flashed instantly, and at the same time, he grabbed her

"I'll go too!"

Mu Jingnian guessed right.The person who came was indeed Mr. Liu.And then, just as soon as Shen Lingbo and Mu Jingnian arrived in the front hall, and before they could speak, they saw Master Liu walking up to meet him, and then he opened his mouth and said anxiously:

"Princess, something has happened, Mr. Gou has been detained by the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

"what?!"

I have to say, Master Liu's words are really like a bolt from the blue.Shen Lingbo, who had just entered the door, was taken aback.After that, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.Seeing this, Mu Jingnian next to him couldn't help reaching out to grab her, then raised his eyes to Master Liu in front of him and said:

"Master Liu, let's go in first!"

With that said, Mu Jingnian dragged Shen Lingbo into the front hall.And then, Shen Lingbo, who just sat down here, came back to his senses in an instant, and immediately asked:
"Master Liu, what's going on? How could the county magistrate's brother-in-law be detained by the Ministry of Punishment for no reason? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"Hey, princess, the little one doesn't know exactly what's going on now. The little one only knows that Mr. Gou went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report the case this morning, and then he was detained. I can't get in, let alone inquire about the situation... So, in desperation, I can only come to you, Wangfei. After all, Wangfei and Lord Gou have some friendship on weekdays, so I implore Wangfei, you can help Gou Your Excellency, you must know that apart from you, no one can really help Lord Gou..."

After speaking, Master Liu stood up from his seat, and then saluted Shen Lingbo several times.Seeing this situation, Shen Lingbo hastily raised his hand, motioned Master Liu to get up, and at the same time said repeatedly:
"It's alright, alright, master Liu, you don't need to talk about this matter, and this princess will not sit idly by! But master Liu, tell me first, didn't there be any warning before? Why did such a thing happen suddenly? Besides...Furthermore, although this magistrate's brother-in-law is not a high-ranking official, he is still a fifth-rank official of the imperial court, so how can he just buckle it up? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"This little one doesn't know either! But I'm sure that Mr. Gou has indeed been detained! But, this specific..."

Master Liu didn't know what to say.But at this time, hearing this, Shen Lingbo also had a headache.At the same time, I can't help but feel that this matter is a bit weird... After all, my father is the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and on weekdays, although my father and Gou Zhi County have never met, but because of my close relationship with Gou Zhi County, this Well, my old man also knows it well, so, of course, my old man will not trouble Gou Zhi County if he has nothing to do.Therefore, there is only one reason, and that is that Gouzhi County really committed a crime!

However, after knowing this person from Gouzhi County for so long, Shen Lingbo still knows a little bit.Although he is shrewd and cunning, good at observing words and expressions, and has a lot of scheming, but at the same time he is also a timid person, so it is possible that you say that he spends some money on daily life, flattering and flattering.But if you want to talk about doing something big, you have absolutely no guts!But if it wasn't a big deal, how could he be detained by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for no reason? !
Therefore, for a while, Shen Lingbo was also a little confused.But at this time, Mu Jingnian, who was sitting beside him without speaking, glanced at Shen Lingbo, then raised his head and asked Master Liu:
"Master Liu said just now that Gouzhi County was going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice today to report a case, so I don't know what case Gouzhi County is going to report?"

"Uh... this little one knows! It's the serial murder case that's been raging in the capital these days!"

He replied to Mu Jingnian's words directly, and then Master Liu continued with a worried expression:

"By the way, this matter has been raging in the capital for a long time, and the prince and concubine have heard about it...Although Mr. Gou thought about reporting this matter to the Ministry of Punishment before, Mr. Gou said that more evidence should be investigated. , so that it will be easy to explain to the superiors at that time, but who would have thought that the murderer was so vicious that he committed another crime the day before yesterday, and the person who was killed this time turned out to be Mr. Qian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites! Now Mr. Gou panicked, after all, that Mr. Qian is from the second grade, so Mr. Gou knew that it was a serious matter, so he hurried to report the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice early this morning! But who would have thought..."

Master Liu told everything he knew.Upon hearing this, Mu Jingnian couldn't help but frowned slightly.But at this time, Shen Lingbo stood up from his position

"Okay, Mr. Liu, you go back to the magistrate's office first. My princess will go to the Criminal Department to check the situation and see what's going on. Let's talk about it after we understand the situation!"

"Then there will be Princess Lao!"

Afterwards, Shen Lingbo gave some instructions to Master Liu, and then Master Liu left!And here, as soon as Master Liu left, Shen Lingbo immediately went back to his room to change clothes, and not long after that, he and Mu Jingnian went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice!
This is Shen Lingbo's third visit to the Ministry of Punishment.However, today Shen Lingbo was far less leisurely than the previous two times. When he got off the carriage, he and Mu Jingnian walked directly into the Ministry of Criminal Justice.But after entering the front hall, Shen Lingbo found that his old man was already sitting in the hall waiting for them!
Later, when the father and daughter met, there was no nonsense.Shen Lingbo directly explained why he came here, but before Shen Lingbo could open his mouth, Shen Qing, the old man of the Shen family, directly raised his hand, and then said to himself:

"My father knows what Ling Bo is going to ask. But this matter, my father can't do anything about it!"

After saying something helplessly, the old man of the Shen family told the ins and outs of the matter!

It turned out that the detention of Gouzhi County this time was indeed related to the recent serial murders in Beijing!But in the previous few times, the people who died were all civilians, and the people in the capital knew about it, but this matter had not yet reached the imperial court.But no one expected that just the day before yesterday, Qian Changli, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was killed, and that Qian Changli was the second rank of the dynasty. Therefore, as soon as this incident happened, Mu Luanxiang, the emperor of Jianyuan, was immediately alarmed.

And if things were just like this, it wouldn't be what it is now.But no one expected that just this morning, Qian Changli's immediate superior, Zhu Mingjin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, would directly refer to the book of Gouzhi County in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and list a number of crimes. The most important thing is that serial murderers committed many crimes in the capital, and Gouzhi County did not try their best to catch the murderer, and finally Qian Changli died tragically... But when he heard that this was the case, Jianyuan Emperor Mu Luanxiang would naturally be angry, and immediately ordered the Ministry of Punishments. While arresting Gouzhi County!

In fact, the reason why Emperor Jianyuan would do this was not to do anything to Gouzhi County, but the tragic death of a second-rank official in the current dynasty. Soothe the hearts of the ministers who are in a commotion!And Gouzhi County is only a fifth-rank official, so without even thinking about it, he became a scapegoat!
The old man of the Shen family told the truth of the matter.Then I can't help but sigh

"Hey, my father knows that you and Gouzhi County have private tutors, but now, there is nothing I can do about it! And Gouzhi County also knew that the matter was serious, so it was too late to report the case! So, it happened that he When I came here today, I detained him because of my father, otherwise, if we send people to the magistrate's office, it would be ugly!"

Obviously, for Gouzhi County, the old man of the Shen family did his best to facilitate it within his ability.Upon hearing this, Shen Lingbo nodded clearly.
"Yes, Ling Bo understands Dad's thoughts... But, Dad, I don't understand this matter. By the way, isn't Uncle Zhu usually very good-natured? What about the magistrate’s book?! Besides, in all fairness, Gou Zhixian cannot be blamed for the incident. In addition, even if Uncle Zhu didn’t know Gouzhi County and Lingbo’s private education is good, the wife of the county magistrate, Mrs. Lu, often comes to Shen’s house , This is going around in circles, although we didn't say it publicly, but our Shen family has a good relationship with the county magistrate's office, and it's no secret. It's impossible for Uncle Zhu not to know, but why..."

Shen Lingbo didn't understand here.After all, Shen Lingbo wouldn't be surprised by anyone who changed today's incident, but Shen Lingbo never expected it to be Zhu Mingjin, Minister of Rites!

After all, at the beginning, although his ex-husband 'Zhu Dachang' and Dachang's mother had some grievances with him, in all fairness, Shen Lingbo still respects Zhu Mingjin, his ex-husband.Because, in the series of incidents in Zhu's house and after that, Zhu Mingjin was always good to her, and he tried his best to protect her when he came to Shen's house a few times later!But it was precisely because of this that Shen Lingbo couldn't understand the facts now!

But upon hearing this, the old man of the Shen family shook his head

"Ling Bo, it's not just that you can't understand this matter, you couldn't understand it when you were a father. But after thinking about it, it's not surprising that your Uncle Zhu did this... because Ling Bo, you don't know something. Let’s not talk about the fact that your Uncle Zhu and the deceased Master Qian have been officials of the Ministry of Rites for the past few years. In fact, they are from the same hometown! So, Ling Bo, think about it. , your Uncle Zhu is not feeling well, so it is inevitable to do such a thing..."

Having said that, the old man of the Shen family paused for a moment, and then sighed again.

"Hey, in fact, there's more than that on your Uncle Zhu's side recently. Two days ago, my father also heard that the manager of your Uncle Zhu's house passed away unexpectedly, so Ling Bo, you said, at this juncture , and encountered the matter of Mr. Qian again... Hey, Dad really can't say anything..."

The old man of the Shen family was a little speechless.After all, apart from the previous marriage between the two families, the old man of the Shen family and the old man of the Zhu family can be regarded as good friends for many years.Therefore, the old man of the Shen family also deeply understands what happened to the old man of the Zhu family recently!But at this time, Shen Lingbo was taken aback when he heard this, and then he couldn't help asking curiously.

"The head of the Zhu family?! Why is this still happening? How did he die?"

"Father is not very clear about this, but I heard that it was because he was drunk, and then he got up at night and went out at night, but when he passed the lotus pond, he fell into it... Hey, the manager of Zhu's mansion, I know for my father, his name is Zhu Gui, he does a good job, but he usually likes to drink a few sips, but he didn't expect that something really happened this time! This person is fate!"

Couldn't help expressing emotion twice, and upon hearing this, Shen Lingbo couldn't help but pursed his lips
"If this is the case, then it's not surprising that Uncle Zhu is angry... But, father, tell me, what should we do now? Is it just to lock up Gou Zhi County?"

"Well...it's really hard to say, because the emperor will not easily release Gouzhi County in order to calm the situation. Therefore, for the present plan, only by catching the murderer of the serial murder case can we report to the emperor. Speak up!"
