Chapter 357 The Dust Falls 24
Obviously, the reason why Xu Hengli was surprised was because the old man of the Shen family had never said this to him before!At this time, listening to the old man of the Shen family's explanation.Xu Hengli immediately nodded in agreement.

"Yes, what Master Shen said is very true! And if the matter is really as what the Lord said, then the matter will be serious..."

Xu Hengli said with a serious face, and then stood up immediately
"Since that's the case, my lord, I'd better arrange to arrest the jailer surnamed Zhang immediately! Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the matter will be serious!"

"Well, Mr. Xu is right. It is better to detain the person first! But be careful, you must do it secretly, so as not to scare the snake. After all, Prince Bei Cang is still in the capital. If the news is leaked, we will not It's easy!"

"Yes, I will definitely act carefully!"

Saying that, in front of Shen Lingbo, Xu Hengli bowed to the old man of the Shen family with a dignified and serious face, then bowed to Shen Lingbo again, then turned around and strode away!

But at this moment, Shen Lingbo, who had been sitting by the side without speaking, looked at Xu Hengli's leaving back, but couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, and then at the moment when he was about to step out of the room, Shen Lingbo suddenly said:
"Master Xu, wait a minute!"

Shen Lingbo spoke softly, not loudly, but Xu Hengli who was about to walk out of the front hall could hear clearly.So, as soon as Shen Lingbo's words fell, Xu Hengli stopped immediately, and then turned around to look at Shen Lingbo who was sitting on the seat with a smile like a flower

"I wonder if Princess Rui has any other orders?"

At this moment, Xu Hengli still looked serious.It can be heard that Shen Lingbo just smiled at him, then suddenly changed the topic and raised his voice to order outside:
"Come here, hold him!"

Shen Lingbo had a smile on his face.But what he said surprised everyone present.But then, before everyone came back to their senses, Jun Lai, who had been guarding outside the front door of the Ministry of Punishment, flashed and instantly blocked Xu Hengli's way!
The huge front hall of the Ministry of Justice was quiet.Everyone was frightened by the situation in front of them!

The ignorant Zizhu, the inexplicable old man of the Shen family, and Xu Hengli, the head of the criminal department who was blocked at the door...for a while, no one spoke, and finally, after an unknown amount of time, the shocked Xu Hengli finally smiled slightly. His eyes flickered, then he looked at Junlai who was expressionless in front of his eyes, then turned around to look at Shen Lingbo
"...Princess Rui, may I ask if this is..."

Xu Hengli was puzzled, but at this moment, Shen Lingbo, who was sitting on the seat, was still smiling like a flower.After Xu Hengli's words fell, the old man of the Shen family who was sitting next to him also asked:

"Ling Bo, you... what's going on with you? This..."

While speaking, the old man of the Shen family immediately glanced at Xu Hengli at the door.But at this time, upon hearing this, Shen Lingbo, who had been smiling all the time, finally said with a smile on his lips:

"Father, there are some things that you don't know, but some people do know... Mr. Xu, do you think what this princess said is right?"

First, he responded to his old man, and then Shen Lingbo suddenly changed the subject and looked at Xu Hengli.But hearing this, Xu Hengli still looked puzzled, and then couldn't help frowning
"Could it be that the person the princess is referring to is the lower official?! But the lower official really doesn't know what the princess said... Is this... is it that the princess made a mistake or misunderstood?"

"Misunderstand?!"

He raised his eyebrows and asked back, then Shen Lingbo chuckled suddenly

"Ha ha……"

Shen Lingbo smiled softly, and his lazy voice showed a hint of coquettishness but also a hint of sharpness at the same time.

"Master Xu thinks it's a misunderstanding? But this princess doesn't think so..."

Said softly with a calm expression, then Shen Lingbo stood up from his seat, and then came to Xu Hengli step by step
At this time, he also saw that the situation in front of him was a bit strange, and the old man of the Shen family who was sitting on the seat couldn't help but frowned, and then asked in a deep voice:

"Lingbo, what's going on?"

The old man of the Shen family is not a good-tempered one either!But right now, one is his own daughter, and the other is his most proud subordinate, so it is natural for Mr. Shen Lingbo to ask clearly.But upon hearing this, Shen Lingbo just smiled without turning his head, then walked towards Xu Hengli, and raised his voice and said:
"Father, don't be in a hurry, first listen to Ling Bo tell you, and you will understand... By the way, Red Scorpion sneaked into Prince Rui's mansion back then, and after his daughter exposed his true identity, he was escorted to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment! Unexpectedly, Red Scorpion died in the prison within a day after arriving in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At that time, Mr. Tang, an old foreman who had worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for many years, confirmed that Red Scorpion died of suicide! But afterward, in private, her daughter I raised doubts about this... what happened after that, I don't need my daughter to say it, my father knows it well. At that time, my daughter remembered telling my father in private that this matter must be done carefully..."

Shen Lingbo said without haste.Hearing this, the old man of the Shen family nodded immediately.

"That's the case, but what does this have to do with Director Xu?!"

"Of course it has something to do with it, because the person who killed Red Scorpion back then was not some cell boss surnamed Zhang, but Lord Xu himself!"

Shen Lingbo still had a smile on his face.A pair of seductive winking eyes looked straight at Xu Hengli in front of him.But at this time, when they heard her words, everyone present was startled, and the old man of the Shen family even widened his eyes instantly.

"What?! This, how is this possible? He..."

Having worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for decades, the old man of the Shen family thought he was well-informed, and the cases his subordinates handled were even more uncommon!But at this time, he was still quite frightened by his own daughter.But compared to the shock of the old man of the Shen family, Shen Lingbo smiled slightly

"Father, there is nothing impossible in this world... By the way, I just told my daughter about the investigation into the murder of the Red Scorpion. Of course, according to what my father said, the cell boss surnamed Zhang must be There is no doubt about the murderer. But has Dad ever thought that the evidence that Dad mentioned just now is too coincidental and too reasonable?! It seems that every piece of evidence points to the prison boss surnamed Zhang. It is as if the prison boss surnamed Zhang is the murderer! Then, Dad never suspected that all this was done deliberately?! Or, it’s like someone secretly guiding Dad to handle the case..."

"Uh...you mean..."

"Yes, that's what my daughter means! Otherwise, father, think about it for yourself. When the red scorpion died, the evidence at the scene and all the details were handled extremely skillfully, almost confusing the real! Even my daughter, I, It was also because I knew Red Scorpion that I was suspicious that she would not commit suicide... Then, it is conceivable that the murderer who killed Red Scorpion back then must have been extremely intelligent, and Xin Xincheng was even more unpopular. It can be compared, and only in this way can the original case be handled so cleanly and beautifully! But if this is the case, then how can you be caught by Dad so easily now?!"

"Therefore, there is only one reason for this, and that is that the cell boss surnamed Zhang is simply a scapegoat! And the real culprit is someone else! Moreover, this person must first know the movements of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and secondly, he must know what his father is doing. You track down the specific situation of the red scorpion, and the third one can easily guide you in the direction of your investigation... Then, please think about it yourself, how many people can agree with these three conditions?!"

In the case of the death of Red Scorpion, from the very beginning, Shen Lingbo reminded the old man of the Shen family that some people from the Criminal Department might be involved.Therefore, although the old man of the Shen family reported to Emperor Jianyuan that it was Red Scorpion's suicide, he secretly found a few competent and trustworthy subordinates to continue the investigation!But even if a few people knew about it, among these few people, there was only one person who fully met Shen Lingbo's conditions just now, and this person was Xu Hengli!
The old man of the Shen family is not a fool, Shen Lingbo immediately understood it!But there were still some unbelievably wide eyes, and then he went straight to Xu Hengli
But at this time, looking at his old man, Shen Lingbo's lips curled up instantly, and then his eyes fell on Xu Hengli in front of him.
"Thinking about it, Mr. Xu didn't expect it at the time. He didn't expect that such a clean thing would be discovered by others. So as a last resort, we can only get a cell boss surnamed Zhang to be a scapegoat! After all, If you ignore it, maybe one day in the future, you will be found on yourself..."

What Shen Lingbo said was straightforward, but Xu Hengli, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this, and then looked back at Shen Lingbo with a serious face and said:
"Princess Rui, you must emphasize evidence when you speak. Just now, Princess Rui directly pointed out that the lower official was the murderer, and even said it in an orderly manner, but what evidence does Princess Rui have to prove that the red scorpion was killed by the lower official?! Besides, the murderer always There must be a motive, so I would like to ask Princess Rui, what is the motive behind killing the Red Scorpion? I have no reason to kill the Red Scorpion at all?!"

I have to say, this Xu Hengli is really a powerful character!In this situation, if it was an ordinary person, his face would have turned pale.But he was still calm and composed, and even asked Shen Lingbo why!The upright appearance made people wonder whether what Shen Lingbo said just now was really wrong!
But Xu Hengli is calm, Shen Lingbo is even calmer than him!Therefore, as soon as Xu Hengli's voice fell, Shen Lingbo's eyes narrowed instantly.

"Evidence? If there is evidence, will this princess keep you until now?"

"Oh? Then since Princess Rui has no evidence..."

"So what if there is no evidence?! Even if there is no evidence, believe it or not, Master Xu, this princess can still detain you! Moreover, as long as you enter the palace to face the saint, you will definitely die!"

After interrupting Xu Hengli's words, Shen Lingbo said it firmly!

"Why, don't you believe me?! Then this princess is not afraid to tell you honestly... Yes, Mrs. Xu is indeed a talented person, and even this princess feels a little self-deprecating! So, in the first In the beginning, this princess didn't doubt you at all! Of course, not only this princess didn't doubt you, presumably no one doubted you!"

"With no background, no background, and at the age of less than [-], Mr. Xu just took one step at a time, insisted on standing out, and sat on the official position of the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice... Although you are only a fifth-rank, in the eyes of everyone, you Mr. Xu You are young and promising, and your future is bound to be limitless! Therefore, when I first came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I had a very good impression of you... But at the same time, what Mr. Xu may not know is that in the When I saw Master Xu for the first time, this princess inexplicably felt an indescribable sense of familiarity!"
