Changming Hall·Xinuan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the south!"

"Oh, give it to me." Slumping down, Emperor Yongxi perked up, pushed away the palace maid who was beating her legs, sat up straight and ordered.

Eunuch Qixi quickly stepped forward and presented a sealed bamboo tube.

"You haven't seen it yet, have you?"

"I don't dare, this slave." Qixi was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said.

"I'm sorry you don't dare." Emperor Yongxi took off the seal, poured out a paper roll, unfolded it, took a look at the contents, smiled, took off the lampshade on the table, and burned the note on the spot.

"Have Luo Xiaoqi's heels been checked?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Imperial City Department has reported and checked, and there is no problem." Qixi said.

"No problem, then where did his medical skills come from? Did it fall from the sky? Why don't you think of a better excuse to fool me?" Emperor Yongxi said angrily, "Where is Wang Hai, where are the others?"

"Eunuch Wang has been feeling cold recently and is taking a rest in bed."

"This old guy is lazier than me!" Emperor Yongxi cursed, "Other than that, doesn't he have any explanation?"

"Eunuch Wang said that Luo Xiaoqi once used the pseudonym of 'Westward Traveler' to buy a fragment of the Qingnang Notes at the No. 1 Auction House in the Ghost Market."

"The Qing Sang Handbook, a medical book written by the medicine demon Su Xiaoye a hundred years ago?" Emperor Yongxi was surprised.

"yes."

"He's a secret agent from Nanya. What's he doing buying a medical book?"

"Eunuch Wang also said that before this, he had been to many bookstores and medicine shops in Nanshi and bought many books about medicinal herbs."

"Self-taught, is this guy a genius?" Emperor Yongxi heard this and thought to himself, is there really such a person in the world?

"Let him write a detailed note and submit it!"

"Your Majesty, this is what Eunuch Wang asked his slave to deliver to you." Qixi took out a memorial from her sleeve and handed it over.

"Why didn't you take this piece of shit out just now?"

"Your Majesty just asked your servant what to say."

"I remember that you entered Nanya in the same batch as Luo Xiaoqi. Your qualifications were not good enough, so you were ruthless and entered the palace. Is that right?" Emperor Yongxi took the memorial and asked slowly.

"This servant doesn't quite understand what Your Majesty said."

"Wang Hai adopted you as his adopted son, didn't he tell you Luo Xiaoqi's identity?" Emperor Yongxi said, "Don't pretend in front of me."

"The slave left long ago. Even if Luo Xiaoqi and the slave entered the Nanya secret camp in the same batch, what would they do?" Qixi knelt down and said.

"Okay, I don't doubt you. I just want to know about Luo Xiaoqi's situation in the Nanya secret camp. It's pointless for you to do this."

"Your Majesty, I was only twelve years old when I left. My childhood memories have long been blurred. I haven't had much contact with the person you mentioned, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. You can go down." Emperor Yongxi waved his hand, indicating that Qixi didn't need to stay to serve him.

This boy is smart and knows how to advance and retreat, what to say and what to ask, and he is much easier to use than the little eunuchs in the palace.

…

"Through the past few days of investigation and questioning of people and business travelers who have fled north to Luojing from Yangzhou, we have found that Ding Xian, the deputy envoy of the Yangzhou Youth League, does not have much sense of presence in Yangzhou official circles. He has been in Yangzhou for three years and has basically lived in seclusion and rarely participated in any activities.

A gathering of colleagues can be said to be an invisible person in the officialdom..." Wu Jiong, the newly promoted captain, introduced the relevant investigation situation.

"Yangzhou is a land of fireworks. As a single man, he wouldn't go to a place like that?" asked Junjie, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple.

"Master Lai is also single, so he must go to a dark place?" Qingyi asked back.

Lai Junjie smiled awkwardly.

"In fact, he may have been there, but no one we asked mentioned relevant information." Wu Jiong continued to answer.

"Ding Xian is a martial arts practitioner, but he has no relevant contact with Yangzhou martial arts?" Ye Liuli asked.

"Yes, Ding Xian has the most contact with an escort agency called Zhenwei Escort Agency. This Zhenwei Escort Agency is owned by the Huadu Sword Sect in Yangzhou. Ding Xian's Yangzhou militia has a close relationship with the Zhenwei Escort Agency. It is a cooperative relationship. When it comes to the quantity of goods

When there are many, the Zhenwei Escort Bureau will ask the militia to help escort them, and they will be escorted by the government, which will deter ordinary bandits."

"Has he had any contact with the Nanchu spy?"

"There are no relevant findings in the information that can be found so far."

"Counsellor Ye, His Majesty ordered us to find out within ten days. Tomorrow is the day to reply. What can we do now?" Lai Junjie asked Ye Liuli.

"There is no real evidence!"

Lai Junjie was stunned when he heard this. Even if he didn't find any definite evidence, he couldn't deal with His Majesty like this. His Majesty couldn't do anything to you, but what should we do?

"Master Lai, the investigation must be based on facts. We can't make up random things and make fun of the court's laws, right?" Qingyi said, "Even if Ding Xian has committed a crime, it is not his crime. We can't forcefully accuse others.

On your head?"

"Then you're going to give your Majesty a discount like this?"

"Now that the time limit has expired, this is the only way it can be. Lai Sicheng, are you going to jointly sign the pledge with me, or are we going to submit the pledge separately?" Ye Liuli asked.

"Counsellor Ye, you are the person in charge of this case. I am just assisting you in handling it. Naturally, I will co-sign with you." Lai Junjie said hurriedly.

"That's good. I've written a memorial here. Could you please Lai Sicheng to sign it?" Ye Liuli directly took out a written memorial and handed it over.

Lai Junjie opened it and frowned. It was clearly a case closing document. The Liu family released Ding Xian, and there was no evidence for collaborating with the enemy and treason. However, it was a serious crime to destroy the Sheng family's leather goods shop, but he had been captured by Xirong.

Killed by the Phantom of the Shadow Hall, you can't just take the body to the execution ground and behead it again, right?

Therefore, the case is settled, and it is easier to explain to Xirong. The murderer was also killed by you. What else is going on? You guys from the Puppet Shadow Hall killed the fourth son of Cheng Guogong and you haven’t said anything yet!

By signing his name, he agreed with the judgment above, which made Lai Junjie extremely confused. This was not his task.

He was given a message quietly from above, asking him to find evidence of Ding Xian's "collaboration with the enemy and treason", even if it was just a suspicion.

If you submit this memorial, will your career be ruined?

But it's no good if he doesn't sign. Everything has been said. If he really refuses, Ye Liuli won't be able to pass this test. This will be extremely difficult.

"If Lai Sicheng doesn't want to sign, don't force it. I don't like to force others to do anything." Ye Liuli said lightly, not caring at all.

"Counsellor Ye, is it too hasty to end the case like this?"

"There is nothing I can do as a counselor. His Majesty gave me ten days, and the results will come within ten days. In ten days, I can only give this result."

"Then you can't ask your Majesty to give you a little more time?"

"Who's to say, you go or I go? This is a thankless thing."

"Can the counselor please ask Commander Pei or the Grand Governor to come and speak?"

"Master Pei has just taken office and is very busy. How can he have the time? Besides, why should he listen to me? As for the Governor, he doesn't care about anything now, so he won't go to His Majesty for such a trivial matter. Aren’t you making yourself uncomfortable?”

"Then this..."

What Lai Junjie wants to say is, why don't you just go and fend for yourself? You are a princess. If you open your mouth, will His Majesty deny your reputation?

But he didn't dare to say this.

His Majesty ordered Ye Liuli to take over this case. He didn't want to handle it in the first place. Now he's looking for an opportunity to close the case, get rid of it, and continue the investigation. That fool will listen to you.

The article is not about the case itself, but outside the case.

Your Majesty wants to use Ding Xian's case to involve Duke Cheng Guo. Ding Xian is obviously not enough, the Liu family is. If Ding Xian collaborates with the enemy and treason, and the Liu family covers and hides it, then it will naturally be a conspiracy.

The Liu family and Shen Zhuang are related by marriage, and Liu Qian is also Shen Zhuang's uncle, so they are involved.

Your Majesty wanted to beat the Duke of Cheng, but at the same time he didn't want to confront him directly, so he pushed the princess Ye Liuli in front. The princess was going to be married anyway, so it didn't matter if she offended him.

"Should Mr. Lai Sicheng sign or not? Or, can Mr. Lai find definite evidence before tomorrow?" Ye Liuli asked directly.

Sweat dropped from Lai Junjie's forehead.

"Counsellor Ye, can I give you an answer later?"

"Okay, before I hand over the certificate, I can come at any time if Lai Sicheng wants to sign it." Ye Liuli did not press any further.

She has already figured out that Lai Junjie is the emperor's man. This case is inherently deep. If he is a smart man and can close the case when someone in front of him accuses him, he should just go with the flow, but he doesn't. Do this.

This is enough to show that he came with a mission.

From the time he was guarding No. 3 Pingkangfang, waiting for him to lead people to search, it was obvious that this guy's purpose was not pure.

"Counsellor Ye, the Marquis invites you and General Qinglang to go there right away!" Suddenly, a small official came in from outside the door, and he was the person serving Ye Hou.

"Master Hou, what can you say?"

"The villain doesn't know."

"Qingyi, let's go and take a look." Watching Ye Liuli and Qingyi leave in a hurry, Lai Junjie couldn't help but have a bad premonition that something big was going to happen.

Ye Liuli and Qingyi came to Sansi Hall and saw Ye Hou and Yao Wenzhong, the commander of Jing'an Division.

"Your Highness, this is the eagle letter that has just been received. The Saint of Yaowang Valley and the Great Elder encountered a snowstorm in Anle Town, Shuozhou, and then were attacked halfway. The battle was very tragic. Lie Xuan of Chengguo Duke's Mansion arrived with people , and then they were saved." Yao Wenzhong stood up and said with a fist.

"Who did it?"

"Your Majesty's Black Feather Guard." Ye Hou said slowly.

"What?" Ye Liuli was shocked when he heard this. The Black Feather Guards were directly subordinate to Emperor Yongxi's bodyguards. There were only three thousand people in total. They were all selected from Zhenwu students. They were loyal and had the lowest cultivation level of the fourth grade. There are one-tenth third-level masters, dozens of Wuzong-level masters, and four first-level grand masters.

This personal guard has been stationed in the capital to protect the safety of the palace and cannot easily leave the capital. Without the decree of Emperor Yongxi, no one can move it.

The Black Feather Guards intercepted and killed the Holy Maiden of Medicine King Valley and the Great Elder without even concealing their identity. What does Your Majesty want to do?

"Yaowang Valley has been deeply involved in Southern Chu over the years. As a martial arts sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has colluded with Southern Chu secretly. Your Majesty has long been dissatisfied with it." Ye Hou explained, "This time it is just an excuse to use the topic to deliberately

After all, I think Your Majesty will definitely find a legitimate reason to explain this matter."

"Is this the painful leg of Yaowanggu?"

"I don't know. His Majesty may not be doing this because he wants to break up with Yaowanggu." Yao Wenzhong analyzed.

"The storm is coming, so be careful."
