Shan Shen drank five cups of tea in a row without saying anything.
Xu Jian did not urge him, but just drank with him, refilling Shan Shen one cup at a time. When the pot of tea reached the bottom, he waved to Xuan Su to change the tea.
Master Shan gathered his thoughts, couldn't help but drank a lot, and simply stood up: "Go to the hut, go to the hut."
Xu Bai showed him the way.
At sunset, the sky is half yellow and half gray.
The cold wind blew on his face. When Shan Shen came out of the warm flower hall, he couldn't help but shiver from the wind.
His lower abdomen was so tight, and what was even more tight than this was naturally his heart.
This is not easy to handle!
Not to mention anything else, there is one word that Mr. Guo used rightly - unfounded.
At that time, Liu Xun and Qian Hu held different opinions. No matter what Shan Shen thought about Geng Baoyuan in his heart, the yamen needed evidence to investigate the case.
Since there was no evidence, the Yamen could not investigate in depth, and it was impossible to go into the situation at that time, which ultimately led to this result.
Besides, what if we get to the bottom of it?
Unless the stolen goods are both captured, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the kidnapped little girl are "captured" together, the girl must be unconscious or would rather die than obey, and His Highness can be seen in a majestic manner, and her clothes are better than when they were taken out of Chenmi Hutong. There are only a few cases to convict.
Otherwise, Geng Baoyuan did the bad thing.
Even if Geng Baoyuan shouted, "I followed His Highness's orders," he would not be able to accuse the Crown Prince.
At best, His Highness is a lax ruler.
Among the disheveled dancers and little nuns, it doesn't matter if the rule is not strict.
This was one of the reasons why Shan Shen hid it in the first place.
Now, it has to be turned out...
It's not a matter of "dare you dare", but "can you".
Even with the addition of Geng Baoyuan's belt, the nature of the case remains the same.
There is no such thing as "everyone gets the stolen goods". If you check, you will not check, and you will offend the prince and anger the emperor.
Shan Shen was very unfavorable about this move.
The pros and cons were analyzed by so many people in the Penal Department Yamen in the early morning.
However, Shan Shen knew that he was wavering now.
Because the person who gave him advice was Fu Guogong.
The Duke of Fu is sometimes out of tune and has a bad mouth, which makes even Shen Shen feel ashamed.
After all, no matter how much he can scold Shanfu Yin, he usually still does it in his own yamen. Unlike the Duke of Fu, people dare to speak nonsense in the Jinluan Palace, which is a weird and yin-yang thing.
But no matter how yin and yang, Fu Guogong never cheated Shan Shen, and even in the previous cooperation, Fu Guogong contributed a lot.
To be fair, Shan Shen trusted Duke Fu. If not, he would not have come to the Duke's residence to offer incense and worship Buddha for two days in a row.
Now that the incense has been burned, the Buddha has worshiped, and the Bodhisattva has given instructions, if he does not follow them, will there be a Buddha who can shine on him in the future?
Just, why?
Shan Shen didn't even think about it clearly.
With a sullen face, he stood in front of the pit and poured water, his eyes blank, but he remembered.
This has happened before.
Without any foreshadowing, he directly led them to find Wang Liu's whereabouts in the sixth year. He brought a portrait, did not mention his name or origin, only said that he was the real murderer of Dao Heng, and asked Shuntian Mansion to post a reward.
Everyone has his or her own way, and the people who support the country have their own way of helping the country.
The Duke of Guo just said "I can't say anything specific", so there must be some considerations on his part.
Speaking of which, a few days ago, Uncle Chengyi met the Holy Spirit alone in the Imperial Study Room, and then the Holy Spirit summoned the Third Duke.
Although no one in the court knew what was going on, if there was any disturbance and the father-in-law and son-in-law advanced and retreated together, the Duke of Fu would definitely hear about it.
Yes.
That's how it should be.
Shan Shen suddenly became enlightened.
He tightened the waistband of his trousers, washed his hands and straightened the hem of his clothes, and felt that his eyes and ears were clear.
When handling cases, you must pay attention to details, and when handling matters, you must turn a blind eye.
Anyway, the Duke of Fu will not trick him, so he will do as he is told and listen to the Duke and hide it from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment first.
snort!
Speaking of which, when things developed to this point, it was Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment who tricked Shuntian Mansion first. What does this small reward mean?
Shan Shen walked back to the flower hall.
The setting sun hangs in the sky, and the rays of light are bursting, making people feel relaxed and happy.
He entered the warm flower hall and sat down: "I definitely believe what the Duke of Guo promised. I will go back to rectify the whole Qianhu, and Liu Xun's original confession will be reported to the Holy Emperor tomorrow. I will check it later."
Why did you check it?"
Xu Jian nodded, thought for a while, and added: "After all, it is a matter of the East Palace. It is disgraceful. The Holy Lord cares about the prince. The thunder must be loud and the rain must be loud. But don't worry, Mr. Shan, the rain will not fall on you."
Just don’t be frightened by the thunder."
Shan Shen laughed loudly.
See, it is such a pleasure to work with Fu Guogong.
"It's easy to talk about anything until we reach Shuntian Mansion," he said.
Shan Shen stood up and said goodbye, and Xu Bai saw him off.
Xu Jian returned to the main courtyard and when he lifted the curtain and went in, Lin Yunyan was still facing the chessboard.
Before Shan Shen arrived, the couple were playing chess.
Halfway through the chess game, the outcome was unclear. Xu Jian went to meet the guests, and Lin Yunyan confiscated the chessboard, but her mind was not on the game either.
Seeing Xu Jian coming back, Lin Yunyan asked: "Have you convinced Mr. Shan?"
Xu Jian said: "Master Shan is smart and wise."
Lin Yunyan smiled.
Xu Jian sat down on the opposite side of the chessboard, playing with the chess pieces casually in his hands: "So, it's not easy for you to hide those two boxes of books from him."
Lin Yunyan raised her eyebrows.
The exchange of gold bricks for books cannot be said to be seamless. If Mr. Shan becomes suspicious and starts the investigation from the beginning, he will naturally be caught with clues.
Being able to hide from the sky and cross the sea, apart from the pouring rain that night, it was still "dark under the lamp".
Xu Jian, an accomplice, swaggered into Shuntian Mansion, changed "Where are the gold bricks" to "Who wants to dig the box?", dragged Li Yuanfa into the bureau, and because of Li Yuanfa's sudden death, the theft case was investigated.
It became a homicide.
Then it has nothing to do with Uncle Chengyi's Mansion.
Of course, Lin Yunyan still knew Xu Jian.
This person brought up old things again, either because he wanted to hurt her, or because he wanted to praise himself.
"TOEFL," she laughed, "the Duke is still very considerate."
Xu Jian raised his eyes to look at her, and didn't care whether her words were careless or not. He chuckled, shook his head, and replied: "Thanks to the weather, thank you."
It snowed yesterday and the mountains were frozen, so the view was blocked in the middle of the night.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As long as it is broad daylight, if Master Shan looks more carefully, he may also be able to get some clues from the situation at that time.
The bits of old mud on the waistband are all rubbed on, and they are far from what they should be after being buried for a long time.
This is also the reason why we only dig for pocket cards and nothing else.
Under the snow, it was impossible for them to break ground in advance and bury anything. They just took mud from the nearby mountains and processed the waist badge.
The waist tag is small enough to carry around.
The men in the garrison yamen pretended to dig something out of the soil while everyone was digging separately and not paying attention to each other.
He is a young man who has quick hands and feet, but does not carefully preserve evidence. He digs and erases indiscriminately, which will make Master Shan feel disgusted, but he will not be suspicious.
Furthermore, the body can be used to determine the time of death and even how long it has been buried, but the waistband cannot reveal that much.
Of course, the less you investigate, the less you can prove.
Lin Yunyan said: "The lax governance is not enough to make the Holy Lord Thunder angry."
He hurriedly rescued Jin Shu that day and hid everything, just because he didn't want to exchange Jin Shu's life and reputation for Li Shao's crime. So now, it is impossible to drag the Jin family back into the police.
"We can't trace the Jin family," Xu Jian said. "Liu Xun cleared it all up and said Qian Hu was full of nonsense. Qian Hu only wanted to harm Liu Xun and didn't want to drag Li Shao into the water. He didn't tell any useful clues from beginning to end, let alone
Mentioned that they went to Fa'an Temple to look for Geng Baoyuan."
Lin Yunyan nodded.
Xu Jian added: "Moreover, Li Shao might not have known anything about it beforehand. If he had known about the situation, he wouldn't have kicked Liu Xun hard at that time."
Lin Yunyan also pinched a chess piece.
In the final analysis, this is just a matter of starting something new.
Li Shao, he will admit the bastard things he has done, even if it is the fatal things like Yumenguan, he was scolded bloody by the Holy Master, and he is just angry this way and that.
And once those things that he didn't do were covered up on his head, and they were spread here and there, and he couldn't prove his innocence, then he couldn't accept it at all.
He will go crazy.
What they were waiting for was for Li Shao to go crazy.
If Li Shao is not crazy, it will be difficult to sing in the drama that follows.
"I can only work hard for Master Shan," Lin Yunyan smiled, "Jinluan Palace has to settle old scores, and he is under a lot of pressure."
Xu Jian thought for a while and said, "I have to loosen up Master Shan. He can only curse in Shuntian Mansion all day long. He also holds it back. When he listens to Thunder a few more times in the morning, he won't have such a big burden in the future."
, maybe he can also become his own style of scolding."
Lin Yunyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. She lost her grip on the chess piece and fell back into the basket.
Too.
An Yibo speaks outright, with a loud voice and full of momentum, and he says what he has to say.
Ge Yushi's prose was gorgeous and majestic, and he came at him with all kinds of techniques. If he didn't have any ability, he would have fainted on the spot and didn't understand how harshly the old man scolded him.
Master Shan is different from the two of them. He pays attention to the appreciation of both refined and popular tastes.
"It's very good," Lin Yunyan supported Ji Zi, "No wonder the Holy Father always said that you go to court to have fun. Who doesn't like to listen to this kind of music?"
The night falls.
Shan Shen is preparing for tomorrow's "fun".
He asked his master to move out all the case files from Chenmi Hutong.
In addition to the files that were compiled and submitted, the Yamen also contained many testimonies and clues that were not included in the files, including the confessions of Liu Xun and Qian Hu.
Liu Xun was exiled, Qian Hu was dismissed from his post and put into labor service. At this moment, he didn't know where he was building the city wall. It would take time to interrogate him again.
Of course, whether or not to try, and how to try, depends on what the outcome will be in the Jinluan Palace tomorrow.
Shan Shen carefully read it, combed it carefully for a long time, and wrote a rigorous summary. Just like what he and Xu Jian said, there was no embellishment or subjective judgment. Whatever the two people said, then so be it.
Write.
It was late at night, Shan Shen took a brief nap in the back office, wrapped in clothes, then hurriedly got up and changed into court clothes.
It was cold, but he didn't ask anyone to prepare warm water, so he wiped his face with the cold water. He was shivering from the cold and felt much more awake.
When he arrived at the court room, he stood aside.
Ruan Shangshu and Shi Rui both saw that Shan Shen was worried, and they couldn't help but exchange looks.
Maybe it's because Master Shan's secret investigation into the case didn't go smoothly...
This is not surprising. It has been almost a year and it is so easy to check.
The case will be closed in two days, and the seal will be opened again. It will be a new year, a new atmosphere, gambling debts, robbery, etc., there is no such thing!
But no matter how much the two of them fought with each other, they never thought that Shan Fuyin would cause earth-shattering news if he hid it from them.
As a result, in the Jinluan Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inquired about the progress of the case, and while they were both playing quail, they saw Shan Shen step into the middle, and their hearts skipped a few beats.
wrong.
Master Shan’s expression is wrong!
It seems like they are going to die together!
By the time the two people reacted and tried to stop Shan Shen, it was already too late.
Master Shan held the folded book in his hand and said word by word: "Go back to your Majesty, His Royal Highness, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, I led people to search the previous burial ground again.
The corpse was washed down the river by the heavy rain, and there may be something harvestable on the mountain. I am like a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse, and I really dug something out of the mountain."
Sheng glanced at Shan Shen.
Li Shao was also surprised.
He urged the yamen to solve the case, but the case could not be settled for a long time, and several yamen were going back and forth in the morning.
But Li Shao actually didn't know that much about the actual circumstances of the case, and whether there were any problems with the judgments of Shuntian Mansion and the Criminal Department of Dali Temple in order to fight the case back.
So, when he heard that there were other developments in the case, he was stunned for a moment.
Isn't Dali Temple looking for trouble?
It is indeed Shuntian Prefecture, but the Criminal Department is not clear about the case?
In other words, when he supervises the case, does he really get it right?
Thinking this way, Li Shao became energetic.
"Sir Shan, what you mean is," Li Shao cleared his throat and looked at Shan Shen, "your Shuntian Mansion didn't handle the case clearly at first, didn't investigate it clearly, and left clues at the scene but didn't recover it?"
Shan Shen paused.
Li Shao was reluctant: "They say Master Shan handles cases rigorously and carefully, and his performance evaluation has been very good in the past few years. How could such a mistake happen?"
His tone gradually revealed a bit of pride.
Let Shan Shen find out about him before!
When checking Chen Mihu and asking him in Shuntian Mansion, Shan Shen never thought that this moment would happen!
"I'm scared," Shan Shen took a deep breath and took out something, "This is what was dug out."
Many people were curious to see it, but they could not see clearly from a distance. They could only see that Eunuch Cao's face changed the moment he took it. He became gloomy and very ugly.
Eunuch Cao walked back to the throne and handed it over to the Holy Master.
The Holy Master also frowned: "This is..."
Li Shao turned to look and saw that it was the East Palace waist badge. He looked at Shan Shen again in shock: "Sir Shan, what does this mean?"
"This is what was dug up," Shan Shen said. "The waistband of the East Palace belongs to Geng Baoyuan, the guard of the East Palace who disappeared on the eighth day of the first lunar month."
Upon hearing this name, Li Shao's face changed in shock.
The Holy Master had already turned over his waist card. When Li Shao saw the name "Geng Baoyuan" on it, his throat rolled.
"Father," he lowered his voice and said hurriedly, "you asked Erchen before if he had changed his bodyguard, and it was this Geng Baoyuan. His father was in poor health and wanted to return to his hometown for retirement, so he handed over his resignation letter. Erchen
Right."
The Holy Father nodded, he remembered this.
But how come the waistband of the guard who went home to retire was buried there?
Just as he was wondering, he heard Shan Shen say: "Geng Baoyuan disappeared, either to collect gambling debts or because he failed in robbing someone."
