Chapter 393: The frost is heavy in October, when will the drifting rain return?!
The next day.
Zhang Cang went to find Yi early in the morning.
The two of them were sitting in a spacious hall, which was the newly established department of the imperial court.
Zhang Cang asked: "Skynet Order, how is the investigation going?"
Yi shook his head and said: "I have sent people to inquire about the list you provided me, and nothing suspicious has been found."
Zhang Cang frowned and said in a condensed voice: "I probably guessed it. Now we have investigated the relevant personnel who may have leaked secrets, as well as the officials who have interacted with Xu Sheng. We have found nothing so far, but there are no secrets involved.
It may have been done by Xu Sheng alone. His identity and status are not enough to know so many important things. There must be other accomplices in the court, or even the main culprit!"
"But this person is very cautious. He is afraid that when he leaks the secret, he will be fully prepared."
"Our investigation was delayed too much, and we missed a lot of important information. As a result, the case has not made any progress. Did Skynet order find out the whereabouts of Xu Sheng?"
Yi shook his head.
Said: "I have arranged for people to search in several counties near western Liaoning, but there is no harvest yet. These alchemists are the best at pretending to be gods, but the local people are easily fooled. I am afraid that no trace will be found in a short time. Now we can't
Instead of focusing everything on catching Xu Sheng, we should start from other aspects."
Zhang Cang said in a deep voice:
"How did I not know this?"
"But when it comes time to investigate, everyone who can investigate has already done so."
"leftover......"
"Only the court officials who participated at that time were the only ones involved."
"Furthermore, based on the time Xu Sheng left the hunting team, the courtiers involved at that time simply couldn't spare the time. Therefore, it is unlikely that the letter was sent by the courtiers midway. I'm afraid this case will be difficult to solve."
Zhang Cang looked depressed.
He didn't even know about this before.
When it was later revealed that Qin Luoheng was the Young Master of the Qin Dynasty, and Gu was acquainted with Qin Luoheng, he showed his talent on Jieshi after seeing this. He originally wanted to attract attention and allow himself to go further, but he never thought that he would actually follow Qin Luoheng.
He got himself into such big trouble.
The leak case is now pending.
even......
It may not be cracked.
And His Majesty set a time limit for them. If the case could not be solved by then, he might not even be able to keep his current position as Shangji Censor, let alone become Shangji Censor. He would be extremely depressed. In order to solve the case, he
For more than a month, I haven't slept well, and I have lost a lot of weight.
It can be described as hard work.
Why did he bother so much in the past?
But if you think about it carefully, it’s all your fault.
It's quiet all around.
Both of them frowned.
They all felt a little depressed.
This leak case is too difficult, there are not many useful clues, and it is also related to many courtiers and even His Majesty. You must be extremely cautious when handling it. If you are not careful, you may make enemies for yourself in the court. This also makes
The investigation was not going well for the two of them, and they even tried to avoid it.
A little silence.
Zhang Cang suddenly said:
"There is still a breakthrough in this matter."
"Qin Shangshu Order!"
"He is the victim of this leak case, and he also went to His Majesty to receive orders. He should have his own views on this matter, and he may even know more than we do."
"only......"
There was a hint of hesitation on Zhang Cang's face.
Qin Luoheng is now the noble son of the Qin Dynasty, so asking Qin Luoheng to help solve the case is undoubtedly a bit wishful thinking.
Yi raised his head and glanced at Zhang Cang. He naturally understood what Zhang Cang meant, but he did not agree with this view.
He had a vague hunch that if Qin Luoheng was involved in this case, when the investigation really started, a lot of things would be involved. By then, I'm afraid it would be unfinished, and this incident was originally aimed at Qin Luoheng.
Asking Qin Luoheng to investigate is likely to cause dissatisfaction among many people. There are too many unpredictable things, and he will not consider it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Yi said:
"Don't mention this matter again."
"How could the perpetrator be involved in solving the case?"
"Isn't this a violation of the law?"
"You are also a legal official, how can you say such nonsense? I am the only one who knows about it now. If these words fall outside, I am afraid that Zhang Yushi will be embarrassed and walk away. I advise Zhang Yushi to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
, be careful in your words and deeds.”
Zhang Cang's face turned pale.
Gongshou Road:
"Thank you Skynet for speaking out."
"Zhang Cang was in a hurry and spouted nonsense. Please ask Skynet to forgive him."
Immediately, Zhang Cang said again: "I will go down and investigate again to see who else is suspicious. I will ask one or two more questions. I hope I can find out something this time."
Finished.
Zhang Cang cupped his hands towards Yiyi.
Then he left with a sad look.
He came here this time actually just to follow his advice. He had already discovered that there were very few people involved in this leak case, and the other party was extremely cautious in doing things, and even forged alibi evidence. And they took over midway, and
By not investigating the matter at the first opportunity, a lot of evidence was inadvertently missed, and it was no longer possible to solve it by relying solely on investigation and cross-examination.
The only way to break the situation is Qin Luoheng.
Therefore, he was temporarily speechless on purpose just now because he wanted to explore Yi's attitude and tone.
However, Yi obviously had no intention of disturbing Qin Luoheng, which also cast a shadow over Zhang Cang's heart.
Walking in the streets.
Zhang Cang's fat and white cheeks trembled slightly.
He thought for a long time and finally decided to ask Qin Luoheng. However, now that Yi did not agree, he naturally could not go in person. However, Gu had a good relationship with Qin Luoheng, but he could let Gu make some insinuations.
only......
Zhang Cang also understood very well.
Once he takes this step, he may not be able to look back.
He could only fall to Qin Luoheng.
Zhang Cang walked towards the Yushi Mansion with a heavy heart, his brows full of sadness and helplessness. He actually didn't want to get involved, especially before the situation was unclear. Besides, his mind was not on fighting for power, but on
He wanted to take the opportunity to display his talents, but if he took the wrong side, his future career would be directly over.
He doesn't want to take this risk.
...
Guo Zhai.
Guo Dan's wife Li Shi is changing his clothes.
Guo Dan hummed a little tune, looking very relaxed and relaxed.
Looking at Guo Dan who looked proud of his success, Li said: "My dear, is there any happy event? Are you so happy?"
Guo Dan said displeased: "What are you talking about? I can't be happy for a day?"
Li said:
"That was not what I meant."
"I have also heard the news in the past few months in the city."
"Your brother Qin Luoheng is the Young Master of the Qin Dynasty."
Guo Dan's face changed slightly, he booed quickly, and then cursed in a low voice: "What are you talking about here? I haven't been back for more than half a year, so why are you doing this to me?!"
Li's face turned red and she said dissatisfiedly: "That's not what I said. Now many people in the city know that you and he are brothers. If he really treats you as a young master, wouldn't you also want to become a successful person? However, you all
I've been back for a while, why don't I see you going to Qin Luoheng's place? Aren't you a very frequent traveler in the past? "
Guo Dan had a cold face.
Reminder:
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"The identity of Qin...Shang Shuling is not allowed to be mentioned again in the future."
"Don't mention my relationship with Qin Shangshu Ling outside, let alone talk about it."
"do you know?"
Mrs. Li looked confused.
Puzzled:
"Why?"
"Isn't this a great thing?"
"Why are you still hiding from trouble?"
Guo Dan snorted coldly.
"Female people are short-sighted."
"Now that Qin Shangshu Ling's identity has not been made public, he is not the 'Master of the Qin Dynasty'. If you say he is the Master of the Qin Dynasty outside, aren't you ruining the relationship between Qin Shangshu Ling and me? It will also embarrass both of us."
"Besides."
"Is it because I don't want to go to Qin Shangshu Ling?"
"We can't find it!"
"Have you not seen that even the people in Washington have been unusually quiet recently? They even have a certain marriage relationship with Qin Luoheng, and even they don't dare to look for it. How can I, an outsider, Guo Dan, dare to look for me? Now
The identity of Qin Shangshu Ling is indeed known to everyone, but I had a certain relationship with Qin Shangshu Ling before his identity was announced."
"What does this have to do with anything?" Li didn't understand.
Guo Dan said disdainfully:
"Of course you can't understand."
"It means a lot."
"I used to get acquainted with Qin Shangshu Ling just because I admired his talents, but now to get close to him is equivalent to directly siding with one another. Now the position of the crown prince is unknown. Once one joins the other side, there will be no turning back, and you may even be attacked.
Others are targeting me. Although I, Guo Dan, am not popular with others, I am still an official to some extent. Why did I put myself in danger so early?"
"in addition."
"After all, Qin Shangshu Ling's identity has not been made public."
"If I try to curry favor now and fall into His Majesty's eyes, wouldn't it mean that I have two minds?"
"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two ministers in the king."
"It is very stupid to act in a different way. It will not only deceive Qin Shangshu Ling, but also bring disaster to yourself. What's worse, it will also be hated by His Majesty."
"Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"The best way to deal with it now is to do nothing, completely ignore Qin Shangshu's order, and only wait until the matter is settled, and then it's time to make a choice."
"but......"
Guo Dan paused.
Sighed:
"I actually don't have a choice. What is my reputation as Guo Dan? When have officials from the six regions and one department ever seen me? Now that I have an old relationship with Qin Luoheng, I will naturally choose him, and I can only choose him, but
Precisely because of this, I cannot act rashly, especially at this juncture. If I do more, I will make more mistakes, if I do less, I will make fewer mistakes, and if I do less, it will be better."
Li said:
"However, the identity of Qin Shangshu Ling has been known to the world for a long time. Why doesn't Your Majesty directly make it known to the public?"
Guo Dan glanced at the Li family with disdain and sneered: "Do you think the Imperial Family Garden is just like ordinary people? It is announced when it is announced, and it is registered directly when it is re-registered? There is a set process for all this, there is a set
How can the rules be so careless? What’s more, the person who regained his identity this time is the person who died back then."
"How dare the court be careless?"
"But it's too soon!"
"As far as I know, just recently."
"During this period, please calm down and stop talking to those women outside. If you cause trouble, don't blame me for not cherishing the relationship between husband and wife for many years. If it affects Qin Shangshu Ling's restoration of identity, don't say that I can't protect you.
, I’m afraid I can’t even protect myself.”
Speaking of which.
Guo Dan glanced at Mr. Li several times.
He said coldly:
"Don't go out recently."
"Stay at home."
"Whenever this rumor expires, please go out again and don't make me lose my temper. I'm doing this for your own good. Once you start talking, you can't stop it. I don't know how many people are trying to disrupt the situation now. Can you?"
Don't cause trouble for me."
Li's face darkened, and when she was about to argue, she saw Guo Dan's gloomy gaze, and finally she could only nod.
Guo Dan arranged his clothes and walked outside the house.
Mr. Li stayed at home.
He muttered: "Isn't this a good thing? Why does it seem like a bad thing now? Now the door is not open, but my dear man may have completely made up his mind and turned to Qin Shangshu's order, so
I don’t know whether my husband’s decision will be good or bad in the end, and I, Mrs. Li, will fall on you for the rest of my life.”
"You must not make any mistakes!"
...
Xianyang City remains the same as before.
Qin Luoheng did not go to court during this period of time.
No one was summoned.
He stayed quietly at home, accompanying his wife. It was rare for him to take a break, but he was not really idle all the time. He still remembered his identity as Shangshu Ling, and his Shangshu Division was just a start-up.
After establishing a prototype, he was arranged to participate in the hunting tour, and the entire official office now looks like a fiction.
During the time he stayed at home, he was also designing the composition of the government office.
finally......
He still learned six volumes.
Without him, he only controls hundreds of families now, and the most suitable divisions among the hundreds of families are the Ministry of Mining, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, etc. in later generations. Although the hundreds of families were combined in Da Qin,
They are not taken seriously, and their influence in the world is getting worse and worse, but Qin Luoheng doesn't think so. He always believes that Bai Jia has huge potential, and as long as it can be used rationally, it can bring huge benefits to Da Qin.
The Secretary of the Secretariat is an attempt by Qin Luoheng.
and......
He can sense the undercurrents inside Xianyang City.
When his identity is announced, he is afraid that the court will start another round of party unity and opposition. He does not want such a situation to occur. Now the Great Qin is far from the point of internal strife. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms still exist, local officials are corrupt, land annexation continues to worsen, etc.
Wait, these are all things that Great Qin needs to solve urgently.
He was also helpless about it.
This is not something he can decide.
Everything is profit-oriented.
At the same time, he has always kept in mind the words of the First Emperor, not to get too close to one party, otherwise sooner or later he will suffer backlash, so he has been exercising restraint, trying his best to make friends with other courtiers in the court, not easily becoming enemies with others, and even intends to get acquainted with officials from six places and one line.
But his identity was exposed so suddenly that he didn't expect it at all, and it disrupted all his plans.
Now that my identity is restored, it will be very difficult for me to maintain restraint.
And this was not what Qin Luoheng wanted to see.
...
The clear frost is heavy in October, when will the drifting snow return?
It is the tenth month of the golden autumn, and this is also the time of the New Year of the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Luoheng, who had stayed at home for half a month, was finally summoned by the First Emperor.
As soon as the news of Qin Luoheng's entry into the palace came out, it quickly spread throughout the city, even in remote alleys. As the news came out, the government and the public, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to be injected with vitality, which made people unable to help but
It was looked upon with special attention, even highly anticipated.
