"How is the investigation going? Has the identity of the person who broke into the car been found out?" the old emperor asked in turn.
How can it be so fast and so easy, Wang Xuanzhen thought to himself. However, facing the old emperor's questioning gaze, Wang Xuanzhen thought for a moment and then reported: "I am incompetent and have no clue yet!"
Seeing the old emperor's expression change, Wang Xuanzhen followed up and said: "However, based on the examination of the corpses by his subordinates, it was initially determined that the two of them were craftsmen, one was a carpenter, and the other was a mason.
Some dry food and drinking water were also found on the hillside. There were also filthy residues of feces and urine two feet away. A simple picture of a carriage and horse cover was also found, which seemed to assist him in identifying his etiquette.
Obviously, the two men's trespassing was not a sudden move, but had been planned for a long time. They lurked on the hillside several days in advance to avoid inspection by the patrolmen and wait for the holy driver..."
After listening to Wang Xuanzhen's report, the old emperor murmured: "Is this an ulterior motive or a good intention?"
Naturally, it was not Wang Xuanzhen's turn to judge this issue, at least it was difficult to overcome in front of the old emperor.
After thinking for a while, the old emperor took out the stained blood form, stretched out his hands, and said: "This form has clear organization and clear narrative. It cannot be written by a first or second craftsman. The writing style seems to come from
"Government knife and pen"
Respectfully taking the blood certificate from Hu De, Wang Xuanzhen read it carefully and found out what he was thinking. The content of the blood certificate was not complicated. It could even be described in concise and concise terms. It directly pointed out the shortcomings of Shenzhou and made no secret of it.
It pointed out the major disadvantages caused by the palace construction, and even clearly pointed out the excessive and harsh use of people and financial resources in the project.
This must be the work of someone familiar with the inside story. Based on this, the subsequent investigation will be more targeted and the scope of the investigation can be further narrowed.
A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, he put the paper away and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this blood sample is an important clue. Can you lend it to Si Ya for a while?"
The old emperor waved his hand calmly: "I have read the things and remembered the contents. If you find it useful, take it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Xuanzhen thanked him immediately, and then said: "I plan to investigate this matter from two aspects. One is to start with the blood sample and compare the handwriting to check the person;
Secondly, since they are still two trespassers, I planned to screen the craftsmen registered in Shenzhou first, but to no avail, and then expanded to several surrounding states.
The point is that this matter must involve the construction of Taikang Palace, and the two craftsmen are even the craftsmen who participated in the construction, so "
Before Wang Xuanzhen could finish explaining his ideas for handling the case, the old emperor stretched out his hand to interrupt him, looking impatient: "How the investigation is carried out is your business. I don't care about the process, only the result!"
The old emperor's strong tone made Wang Xuanzhen tense up in his heart, and he immediately solemnly responded: "Yes!"
"Go ahead!"
"I resign!"
Wang Xuanzhen retired, but the old emperor's mood did not improve at all, and even got worse. A man sat there silently for a long time, and then he sighed quietly.
In fact, the old emperor did not need Wang Xuanzhen to investigate and find something. No matter what the process was, the result was conceivable. The most that Wang Xuanzhen could solve was to find the person who secretly manipulated the matter, but as far as the old emperor was concerned,
The most critical question is how this matter ends
The old emperor was always sensitive on such matters. There was still a layer of fog surrounding the ten trespassing incident. It was as if he had seen through everything and saw the final outcome of the matter. Just relying on intuition, the old emperor realized that,
At that time, you may very well put yourself in an embarrassing situation.
Therefore, no matter what Wang Xuanzhen and others investigated, or what results the people at the top and bottom produced, it was not important to the old emperor.
However, how to end it is not that simple. If it were normal, there would be no need to hesitate. Everyone involved, big and small, high and low, those who abuse the people, those who are greedy for money, those who are derelict in their duties, should be demoted.
If you want to be demoted, if you want to be killed, you will be killed. There is no need to think about leaving any room.
But this time, it was obviously different. The key point involved the old emperor himself. He still knew this well, and it was difficult for him to be truly confused and pretend not to know.
From the old emperor's personal point of view, he absolutely did not want any major scandals to occur in the construction of Taikang Palace. That would be too ugly and would damage his emperor's reputation.
Of course, the practices of Shaofu Construction and Shenzhou Government are ugly enough in themselves and have greatly lost the support of the people. However, it will be even more ugly if it is exposed and made known to the world for anyone to comment on.
The old emperor must save his respect! For a moment, he even felt very disgusted with the person who caused this kind of thing. Can't he let him quietly escape the summer and take a vacation?
Thinking of this, the old emperor's expression became even more sad. After pondering for a long time, he ordered Hu De to summon the imperial envoy Zhang Bin to come.
Similarly, Zhang Bin had long wanted to meet him, and greeting him was the main purpose. Of course, the old emperor didn't care about Zhang Bin's care and loyalty, but solemnly told him: "Go and check Liu Jiqian, especially in
Shenzhou's three-year history, as well as the construction process of the palace, all aspects, give me a detailed report!"
"yes!"
By this time, the old emperor had already made a plan in his mind, but whether it would develop as planned would depend on the results of the investigation, but no matter what, Liu Jiqian was a key figure.
There is another key figure, and that is the Shaofu Supervisor Liu Gui. Although he spends most of his time in the capital and conducts remote control, and only has a few inspections at the Taikang Palace construction site, if something goes wrong in this big project, Liu Gui will not be able to escape from it.
responsibility.
Liu Gui, who was highly politically sensitive, was aware of this as soon as the incident occurred, so he waited outside the palace early.
After procrastinating for a full hour, he was finally able to meet the saint. However, the old emperor had no intention of listening to Liu Gui's carefully prepared excuse and reprimanded him.
Facing the old emperor's torrent of accusations, Liu Gui actually relaxed in his heart. His Majesty scolded him well, and the harder he scolded him, the more likely he would be able to pass the test.
In fact, this was the case. The old emperor had no intention of dealing with Liu Gui too harshly. He was still very satisfied with this slave. Although he was an eunuch, the young master under his management was far better than Lu Mengzheng.
.
What made the old emperor even more angry was that Liu Gui was not diligent enough in the construction of Taikang Palace, or he was too indulgent to the local officials, which led to such a mess. More importantly, the old emperor had secretly warned that superficial efforts should not be taken seriously.
To do a good job, we must pay attention to people's livelihood issues
But Liu Gui didn't seem to understand what he meant, so this time, the old emperor almost made it clear: Go back and check yourself quickly, and wipe everything that needs to be wiped clean.
