The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

But on the other hand, Shangshu Xing took Xiao Heng out of the city overnight to investigate the case. Xiao Heng was assigned a post in the Ministry of Punishment as a book order. It is reasonable to say that he would not be involved in the investigation, but Shangshu Xing wanted people to come here because he took a fancy to him The ability to handle cases.

The post of Shuling is just a cover.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was surnamed Xing and named Shuwen.

No matter how the name sounds, it doesn't sound like someone who can be a great minister, but Xing Shuwen just did it.

Xing Shuwen came from a poor family which is rare among the six ministers, and he had to suffer so much that he finally entered the Ministry of Punishment.

Because without the support of his family, it is much more difficult for him to rise to the top than those noble officials. He has experienced two exodus, one time he offended someone, and the other time he moved an unchangeable force.

But probably his life was really hard, so he survived like this.

He has a good character and a good family style, which meets the emperor's employment standards. Of course, the premise is that he can be noticed by the emperor.

"It's actually a coincidence. The second time I released it was in a small county town near Fengdu Mountain. I handled a case and the victim was from the Princess Mansion." On the carriage, Shangshu Xing said to Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng didn't know about it.

Before he left Beijing, he never thought that he would enter the sixth department, so he didn't pay special attention to the movement of the sixth department. Princess Xinyang monitored the movement of the court, so he could occasionally hear the details of some officials—for example, Zheng Siye, the Imperial Academy, accepted bribes. Account books.

But it is clear that Xing Shangshu is not in the ranks of the handle.

He is a good official with integrity.

As the carriage bumped along the rugged path, the figures of the two couldn't help shaking a little.

While shaking, Xing Shangshu continued, "To be honest, I'm just an insignificant servant who was bullied by a local squire, and that squire has a little kinship with the capital. You know it's changed. What would anyone else do?"

Xiao Heng understood that he was not asking himself a question.

Sure enough, Xing Shangshu went down on his own: "Big things turn into small things. Sometimes the lives of ordinary people are worthless, and the lives of servants are also worthless. Princess Xinyang asked me at that time, 'Xing County magistrate, how dare you investigate? The case?'"

Xiao Heng could almost imagine Princess Xinyang's expression at that time.

"I asked the princess, 'I checked,

If something goes wrong, can the princess keep my family? ’ The princess said, I can’t, your case is not investigated for me, it is your responsibility, you can choose to be a good official or a corrupt official, and you will bear the consequences yourself. Oh, how unreasonable! I thought. Hmm... In fact, thinking about it now, I still feel that the princess's heart is too hard. She is a princess, isn't it easy for her to protect several people? She is setting me up on the fire and not giving my family a way out..."

"But Liulang, that's how the world is. From the day I chose to be an official, I sent the fate of my family to an unpredictable path. No one forced me, and I chose it myself."

"The case came to the capital. Do you know that the squire was related to Luo Guogong's mansion. I almost died, but the sky will not kill me. His Majesty heard about this case, and he transferred me back to the capital. Even if I was saved .”

"She helped you." Xiao Heng said suddenly.

"What?" Xing Shangshu looked at Xiao Heng in confusion.

Xiao Heng said: "Princess Xinyang, she helped you."

Xing Shangshu was taken aback.

Xiao Heng flicked his wide sleeves: "Otherwise, why would His Majesty hear about your case, and why would you be transferred back to the capital suddenly? There are so many murder cases in the world."

"Ah... this..."

Xing Shangshu couldn't accept such a big shock for a while. To be honest, he didn't think about this possibility, but he met Princess Xinyang several times afterwards, and Princess Xinyang didn't want him to appreciate her at all.

She didn't even speak to him.

Do good deeds so anonymously?

What does Princess Xinyang want?

Figure he is a good official?

Picture his face?

It is rumored that Princess Xinyang has many faces.

Xing Shangshu touched his rough face, and said that once upon a time, he was indeed a handsome man in their county...

"My lord! We're here!" The coachman stopped the carriage.

The reason Xing Shangshu told Xiao Heng on the carriage was because he realized that this matter was not simple, and the forces behind it might be beyond their imagination. He was worried that Xiao Heng would not dare to investigate further, so he wanted to use My own deeds influenced Xiao Heng, and made him aspire to be a good official who is not afraid of power. Even if no one protects him, he will definitely be able to skyrocket ninety thousand miles.

But it looks like it's a bit overturned.

"Ahem." Xing Shangshu cleared his throat, "Go down."

This was the residence of the third witness they found.

It's a pity that it also came to nothing.

The witness has not returned home for several days.

The case of Li Shilang is simple and simple, but also complicated. Two people resisted severely and injured Li Shilang, and the guards had no choice but to beat them to death.

But unexpectedly, when sent to the local yamen, one of the deceased turned out to be a good citizen.

Liangmin's family came to the door and said that Li Shilang had killed their son.

The identities of the other robbers were also ascertained. Their witnesses at the time were not at home.

Judging from Xing Shangshu's many years of experience in handling cases, this is a premeditated frame-up, the purpose is not Li Shilang, but Li Shilang's case.

Xiao Heng is someone who can be trusted, and Xing Shangshu did not go around in front of him: "The Xianleju case is of great importance, Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are investigating and handling this case."

Xiao Heng nodded, and said again: "Then why are the people in Jingzhao Mansion okay?"

Xing Shangshu said thoughtfully: "There is only one possibility."

Jingzhao Mansion has been bought.

Xiao Heng also guessed this possibility, he said sternly: "Li Shilang will be in danger if he continues to investigate, it is your danger, my lord."

Li Shilang just obeyed orders, and the decision was in the hands of Xing Shangshu, so in fact the other party came for Xing Shangshu.

The above are guesses based on the clues we have so far, and whether this is the case remains to be verified later.

No witnesses were found, Xing Shangshu took Xiao Heng into the carriage back to Beijing.

The carriage hadn't gone far, when an arrow shot into their carriage, nailed straight to the wall between Xiao Heng and Xing Shangshu!

Because of the force, the arrow pierced in, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking violently. It can be seen that if this arrow hits any of them, it can kill them instantly!

Xing Shangshu's eyes turned cold: "Assassinate the imperial court official? Fortunately, I was prepared!"

After he finished speaking, he took out a bone whistle and blew it vigorously.

One, two, three passed.

The master who should have appeared has not appeared for a long time.

Xing Shangshu was stunned: "What's going on? The official spent a lot of money to buy a master in the Jianghu!"

"No more." Xiao Heng said lightly.

"No way?" Shangshu Xing stared, another arrow shot in, this time it hit under Xing Shangshu's crotch, Xing Shangshu felt that his little Shangshu was a little cold!

"Get out of the car!" Xiao Heng said.

Xing Shangshu opened the curtain, grabbed Xiao Heng's hand and jumped out of the carriage together with him.

The moment the two of them fell to the ground, a row of arrows came overwhelmingly, shooting the carriage into a sieve!

Xing Shangshu held his breath.

If it wasn't for Cai Cai and Xiao Liulang jumping out of the car in time, they would have become sieves now!

"It's disgusting! Who did it! Don't let me find out! Otherwise, I will definitely find out that he has gone bankrupt!"

call out!

Another arrow came and almost hit Xing Shangshu in the ass!

"what!"

Xing Shangshu jumped suddenly, grabbed Xiao Heng's hand and ran away!

At first Xiao Heng thought that the group of people came for Xing Shangshu, until they entered a forest, Xing Shangshu fell down the hillside, but the group did not chase Xing Shangshu, but attacked Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng finally understood that shooting Xing Shangshu was a mistake, and their goal was themselves from the beginning.

They didn't want to use Li Shilang's case to warn Xing Shangshu to stop, they planned to use Xing Shangshu to take him out of the capital to investigate the case and kill him on the way!

What a great way.

It seems that Mo Qianxue's case was a mess from the very beginning.

Xiao Heng looked at the five men in black who were approaching him, and asked coldly: "Who is your master?"

The leading man in black said coldly: "I'm going to die, do you know that our master is useful?"

Xiao Heng asked calmly: "I have to let me understand."

The leading man in black sneered: "Okay, I'll tell you, the person who wants to kill you is our young master."

Xiao Heng looked at him coldly: "Who is your young master?"
