"Hurry and invite Uncle Sixth Emperor into the mansion."
Chu Nanzhi stood up happily, but Chang Lao, Nie Lao and Princess Shu were all dumbfounded:
Why is this girl so kind to the regent?
Could it be that he coveted the beauty of Prince Charming?
Seeing that several people were confused, Chu Nanzhi explained with a slow smile: "It is not difficult to find out the real culprit who murdered Mr. Tingwei. It is just a question of how to investigate, in case this matter is involved again.
How will the old case end? Perhaps Uncle Liu Huang, who is good at keeping things secret, can help us in this matter."
"Can he help us?"
Lin Jinshu shook his head in disbelief, thinking that this girl was joking.
Although Lin Tingyan has now become the regent, his obedience is no different from before. If it weren't for Yin Sinian and Lin Jinxiao who strongly advocated for him to be the regent to maintain the government's affairs, not even the Jingling veterans would be willing to comply.
Chu Nanzhi knew that all these people looked down upon the so-called bastard born of a demon concubine, but she always felt that this person was not simple.
This is evident from Ji Wanying's case. Even he himself was not aware of the little princess's extraordinary ability. Lin Tingyan seemed to have already understood everything.
"Don't forget, elders and princesses, that this uncle of the Sixth Emperor is also the prince of Emperor Chonghua. He was already an adult when the palace changed. There are so many talented people under Shangguan Noble Concubine. How could Princess Wanying and Qian be so successful?
Doesn’t the princess still have a loyal servant who is loyal to him?"
A little maid's simple disguise technique deceived almost everyone, and even she fell into it, almost turning those cases into unsolved cases; and Feng Yue, a regular attendant lurking next to Concubine Yue, even single-handedly brought together all the cases.
The concubine who was doted on by thousands of people and the prince who was highly relied on pulled him down, which was really powerful.
"Why don't Mr. Nie and Princess follow me to see the Sixth Emperor's Uncle first, and try to find out what he says about his coming today?"
Chu Nanzhi discussed with the three of them.
Then she looked at Chang Yanjue, who was a little weak, and she did not forget to tell her: "I asked someone to cook some ginger soup, and Mr. Chang stayed by the stove to drink some ginger soup to warm himself up. Today my mother and Manager Tang bought some."
I’m going to bring back some fresh fish. I heard that I got it through the soup manager to supply the palace with the best fresh food. I’ll personally cook some fish soup and deliver it to you later in the evening to warm my stomach.”
It had been a long time since I had eaten the food cooked by this girl. Chang Yanjue suddenly became energetic and coughed lightly and replied: "That would be great, if we use some authentic ingredients from Jingling City."
Girl, please use your craftsmanship to make a few side dishes. I’m afraid I’ll be cured soon.”
"Everything is available. As long as Mr. Chang can take medicine and recover well, the student is willing to cook a few side dishes for you every day."
Chu Nanzhi smiled happily.
Chang Yanjue's playful words made Chang Yanjue feel helpless. Knowing that she was thinking about her own health, she had no choice but to answer obediently: "It's up to you."
Seeing that Chu Nanzhi had seduced the stubborn teacher with just a few delicacies and no longer concealed her illness, Lin Jinshu didn't care that the two elders were still by his side. He happily took her arm and strode out the door: "Let's go."
Well, let’s go meet Uncle Sixth Emperor and see what he has to say.”
When several people arrived in the front hall, Lin Tingyan was already waiting there, pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
When they saw Chu Nanzhi, Lin Jinshu and others came out, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed their hands to Nie Huai'an, then said hurriedly: "Jin Shu, you must be calm. Such a big thing happened in the capital.
There was already a lot of noise here, but you secretly came to Nanzhi girl’s house.”
"I'm just here to discuss countermeasures with Mrs. Wang."
Lin Jinshu explained with a wry smile.
"The dignified Lord Tingwei died at home. His Majesty was furious. The people in Tingwei Mansion were so anxious that they were at a loss. Jing Zhaoyin led the servants to work in Zhang Mansion for half a day without finding any clues. At present, everyone
They all gathered in my regent's palace, giving me a headache."
Lin Tingyan frowned and sighed repeatedly: "I originally wanted to go to the palace to see my ancestors, but I heard that my ancestors were also sick and refused to see the guests. This matter is not a trivial matter. Your Majesty has issued a strict order and ordered Jing Zhaoyin to cooperate with the Tingwei Mansion.
The real murderer was captured within three days, but everyone in the Zhang family said there was no movement in the house before and after the incident, and no suspicious persons entered the house."
Seeing Uncle Sixth Emperor's anxious expression, Chu Nanzhi just listened quietly and did not interrupt immediately.
The ancestor ordered Princess Shu to come to question the two elders, so she naturally realized that this was no ordinary murder case.
But since the emperor has asked Jingzhao Mansion and Tingwei Mansion to take charge of the case, it is obvious that the emperor has made up his mind to start a thorough investigation into his father's death.
Nie Huai'an was worried about the death of Old Tingwei, but at this moment he couldn't help but asked: "Could it be the fault of someone in the house?"
He has also witnessed many murder cases, so he said that several of the cases that he, a student, tried in Luyan Port were caused by conflicts within the government.
Although his ancestor's concerns also made him wary, if the case did not involve old events, wouldn't it mean that Lao Tingwei's death would be in vain.
After hearing Mr. Nie's suspicion, Lin Tingyan squinted his eyes thoughtfully and said, "I heard the report from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion before I came here. It is said that the whole family of the Zhang Mansion has always been harmonious and there has been no trouble. The eldest lady of the Zhang Mansion is also a reasonable person.
He got along very well with Qian Xiaoniang, Lao Tingwei's concubine, and judging from the conclusion of the autopsy, the murder weapon was a short blade used in the army. It was extremely sharp and could not be held by ordinary people."
"It's not surprising that the dignified Lord Tingwei has a few sharp short blades in his house."
Nie Huaian argued disapprovingly: "Often the more peaceful the surface, the more tricks it hides."
"Well, what Mr. Nie said is reasonable. Jing Zhaoyin is also so suspicious, and even made it the starting point of the interrogation."
Lin Tingyan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's just that I suspect that the case is not that simple. Moreover, both Jingzhao Mansion and Tingwei Mansion have interrogated people in the house, and there is evidence of alibi. I am afraid it is not a personal grudge between the houses. This
The crime of murdering a third-rank official of the imperial court is not a light one, who would assassinate his master for no reason."
"Then according to Uncle Sixth Emperor, who should have done it?"
Chu Nanzhi asked tentatively.
"I just went to Zhang's Mansion, and in Master Zhang's study I accidentally found a dossier about the assassination of King Qinghe."
Lin Tingyan hesitated and said: "I suspect that Old Tingwei is investigating this matter thoroughly. I am afraid that someone discovered it and was silenced."
Hearing this, several people couldn't help but be surprised.
Lin Tingyan smiled again and said: "If the death of Old Tingwei is really related to the old case, but Your Majesty has to capture the real culprit within three days, how to explain it to Your Majesty is a difficult problem, so I want to go to the palace to ask for the ancestor's wishes.
.”
Chu Nanzhi has been handling cases for many years, but has never encountered such a difficult problem.
After all, what is behind this case is not just a few lives and the truth, but also the stability of the current situation.
How to investigate this case also made her feel embarrassed.
