Jinluan Palace.

Shan Shen came out of the queue, looking annoyed.

Shuntian Prefecture did not catch the murderer of Dao Heng, and even had no further clues.

If the case is not progressing smoothly, it is inevitable that other courtiers will ask questions.

Shan Shen doesn't defend himself and just listens to others' criticism.

His "guilty" look actually made others feel embarrassed to ask questions.

There are no people who even asked how the portrait was witnessed.

Xu Jian stood in his position and looked back at Shan Shen.

I have to say, Master Shan is really good at pretending to be dead.

They knew from the beginning that they would not be able to catch the real murderer.

Releasing the bounty portrait is just forcing the opponent to give up.

If you say they have moves, they are very passive. If you say they don’t have any moves, they can make the opponent miserable.

It's just that it's not on the surface.

Those plots and persecutions will not be revealed in the case files, civil and military ministers, or even the Holy Lord. They will only be kept quietly, making it appear that Shuntian Mansion is helpless.

Mr. Shan is also very straightforward in his work. He agreed to check for three days that day, and that was three days. When the time was up, he went straight to the morning to express that he had tried his best but was unable to do anything.

After all, with their portraits posted, we can’t say they were just messing around and not doing anything serious.

Xu Jian withdrew her eyes from Shan Shen, then quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the Holy Emperor.

Mr. Shan is indeed confident.

Just as Xu Jian said to Shan Shen and Wantang in the yamen that day, this case is probably "let alone". Firstly, it involves too many things, and it is not something that Shuntian Mansion and the garrison yamen can handle. Secondly, the Holy Emperor does not want to delay it again.

Drag.

There is a similar result and the case is closed. This is the Holy Spirit’s idea.

Shan Shen is following the holy will, so this is naturally the case.

Sure enough, even if a few honest people raised doubts about "whether the portrait of the murderer is accurate", Shan Shen did not explain much.

Wantang, on the other hand, lost his temper and said angrily: "Have you all seen the portrait of the murderer?

Leave a little impression. If you encounter him on the street in the future, please tell us immediately to the garrison yamen or Shuntian Mansion, and we will arrest him immediately.

We only have so many manpower and the capital is so big, so we have to rely on all your pairs of eyes to find people for us."

After Wantang finished speaking, there was silence for a moment.

Only Xu Jian curled her lips and smiled silently.

The Holy Lord is sitting on the dragon throne.

He saw Xu Jian's expression and said to himself, he has really improved a lot in the past six months, and even watched it secretly for fun.

After thinking about it, the Holy Father was not too polite to Shan Shen, and finally said, "Continue to investigate."

Of course, Shan Shen knows it, and Xu Jian also knows it. This is just a saying, just listen to it.

After resigning from the court, Xu Jian was summoned to the imperial study.

Eunuch Cao led him in.

Xu Jian bowed and took his seat, took the tea cup and took a sip.

The Holy One asked very directly: "Did you tell Shan Aiqing that there was no need to investigate to the end?"

"No," Xu Jian replied, "Sir Shan is trying his best to investigate, but the progress is really limited."

The Holy Lord laughed, but his tone showed no emotion of happiness or displeasure: "Shan Aiqing is a really good-tempered person, let him check half of it..."

The Holy Spirit did not say the second half of the words.

Xu Jian understood clearly and said: "It's really uncomfortable to check half of the investigation, but Lord Shan has been an official for many years and knows the importance of it. On the contrary, I am a minister who lacks experience and should listen more to the opinions of Lord Shan and Lord Wan."

The Holy One smiled again, this time with a bit more smile.

Wantang, indeed, is a shrewd person. He is more thoughtful than Shan Shen, and he is a person who can put forward "stop until the point is reached".

"Listen to what you said," the Holy Master followed Xu Jian's words and said, "Are you not satisfied with half of the investigation?"

Xu Jian did not answer immediately. He thought for a moment and looked up at Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao was keen and understood what Xu Jian meant, but he had to listen to the Holy Father.

The Holy Emperor's fingertips clicked twice.

Eunuch Cao decided to go to the middle hall and sent out all the waiting servants, leaving only a confidant to guard him. Then he returned to the imperial palace and stood respectfully.

Xu Jian then said: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but that I can't get over it."

With this statement, not to mention that Eunuch Cao raised his eyes, even the Holy One couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Xu Jian added: "The outside world doesn't know the inside story, but I handled it. I know that the two gold bricks in Chenmi Hutong were released by me and have nothing to do with the deposed prince.

Master Shan doesn't know, and Master Wan doesn't know either. They are chasing the deposed prince and also the ancient moon man's golden paper.

The line about the deposed prince is not easy to trace. Gu Yue’s envoy has already left the capital. The two yamen are beyond their reach. They can only move a little bit to the east and a little to the west. Every little bit of progress has to be mixed together and analyzed together. This

What can be analyzed?"

The clues and evidence are all being faked, and we are digging all the way after the false clues. It would be really rare if we could find the real culprit.

Of course, this "rareness" is His Majesty's idea.

Xu Jian knew from the beginning that he had forged evidence, but he was going in the right direction.

The real culprit was indeed forced to have his tail docked.

"I'm in Shuntian Mansion every day, watching people walking around the fake gold bricks, and I feel really bad." Xu Jian said.

Hearing what he said, His Majesty raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really difficult for Shan Ai Qing."

Xu Jian pretended to collect his thoughts and said: "I thought that the death of Dao Heng was already an unexpected gain.

The person behind Dao Heng is difficult to catch. As you know, he is related to Wang Liusui's group.

You didn’t want to hand over the case related to the deposed prince to the Shuntian Mansion, so you brought Wang Sixian back to the palace last year and handed it over to Duke Cao for trial.

First of all, Master Shan is not easy to deal with. When he investigated the British government before, you had to ask your ministers to support him as reinforcements. This has nothing to do with his ability, but with his identity.

Secondly, the main responsibility of the Shuntian Prefecture is to deal with major and minor matters in the Gyeonggi Province. If too much energy is involved in investigating a case that is difficult to make progress, the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, half-checking and giving up halfway is still a hopeless solution."

The Holy Father looked deeply at Xu Jian.

He knew that Xu Jian was capable, and he also knew that Xu Jian was young and needed experience, but he also saw the progress in the past six months.

Compared with the time when I was reluctantly sent to the Ministry of War, I have made much progress.

Moreover, Xu Jian’s vision is becoming more and more accurate.

"Is this all there is?" The Holy Master asked deliberately.

Xu Jian was silent for a moment.

He knew that the Holy One would ask these questions.

After he said the previous words, the Holy Spirit will definitely ask.

Therefore, his attitude in silence is very particular. He seems to be hesitant, but in fact, Xu Jian knows it well: "Checking for too long is not a good thing for His Highness. You can order as much as you want. Master Shan and Master Wan can indeed do it."

I can guess that. If you insist on letting their two yamen investigate and get to the bottom of it, then you will bite the bullet and they will continue to investigate."

The Holy Father was noncommittal, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

The tribute tea was excellent, and the waiter in the Imperial Study Room was very good at making the tea. But for some reason, after taking this sip, the Lord felt a slight astringency.

It's so astringent that my throat feels uncomfortable.

Shan Shen, Wantang, what are they tabooing? Of course they are tabooing Shaoer, tabooing him.

This is how kings and ministers get along.

It is said that "attempting to speculate on the divine will" is a sin, but in fact it is not the same thing.

If you don't understand his thoughts at all, you don't take the saint seriously and bully the "little master".

I have speculated but still cannot understand. That is too stupid. Who has the patience to deal with a group of idiots every day? Can the common people live a good life if the world's major events are placed on the heads of idiots?

The Holy One likes people who can figure things out, and even more likes people who can figure things out clearly.

This time, Shan Shen and Wantang obviously figured it out, but the Lord was still not feeling comfortable.

Investigating the reason, Shaoer failed to live up to his expectations.

These things have caused such a situation. Not only is he, the father, cleaning up the mess for Shao'er, but so are all the people investigating the case.

Xu Jian had to think of a way to make two fake gold bricks...
