Qin Jiyan learned early in the morning that Gu Qiancheng had entered the palace to treat Concubine Gu, but he really had no time or reason to go to the palace to recruit people.
Concubine Gu was unconscious, and the fifth prince looked much smarter. Gu Qiancheng would be fine in the palace. Qin Jiyan planned to let Gu Qiancheng stay in the palace for two days. Anyway, he would be out in two days, but...
…
The next day, someone from Six Doors came to report: "Your Highness, a man from Xihu died in the inn. It is suspected of murder in a secret room."
"What day is today?" Qin Jiyan frowned, with a cold look flashing across his face.
"Twenty-six." The man replied.
"Ahead of time?" Qin Jiyan tapped his fingers on the table: "Seal the scene and no one is allowed to come near."
Qin Jiyan strode out, not to the crime scene, but to the palace.
He originally planned to wait for the last case to come up and go to the palace to ask for someone, but now that a murder had occurred in advance, Qin Jiyan entered the palace and planned to take Gu Qiancheng out.
Gu Qiancheng's talents were not used to treat concubines.
"You want to take Gu Qiancheng out of the palace?" The old emperor suspected that he heard wrongly, but Qin Jiyan repeated it and emphasized: "Grandpa Huang, I want to use her."
"It's just a woman." The old emperor couldn't understand.
He had chosen many ladies from famous families for Qin Jiyan, and even let Qin Jiyan meet the eldest daughter of the Kong family in Shandong, but he never saw anyone who Jiyan was special to. Why was he so special to Gu Qiancheng?
"Grandpa Huang, although Gu Qiancheng is a woman, her talents and learning are no less than those of men. In my eyes, she is a useful person." Qin Jiyan explained calmly, not caring at all about the old emperor's appraising eyes.
Growing up under the eyes of Grandpa Huang, if he had to learn not to restrain his emotions, he would have been rejected by Grandpa Huang long ago.
When the old emperor heard this, he felt relieved: "You use her as a subordinate?" If that's the case, it's understandable.
"If you can't use it as a subordinate, why should you be used as a subordinate?" Qin Jiyan asked, seemingly more puzzled than the old emperor, which made the old emperor laugh...
He just said, how could the children he personally taught have such poor vision?
"Indeed, talented people should be reused. However, Gu Qiancheng is not the only one who is talented. I will send you two more old men to work. Don't let Gu Qiancheng, a girl, do those things in the future."
The old emperor was not worried that Qin Jiyan would fall in love with Gu Qiancheng, but he also did not want Qin Jiyan to have too much contact with Gu Qiancheng.
Qin Jiyan rarely interacted with women, and it would be troublesome if he fell in love for a long time.
Gu Qiancheng is not worthy of his grandson.
Qin Jiyan frowned: "Grandpa Huang, Gu Qiancheng has been following up on this case. She knows the details of the previous case."
Qin Jiyan was not satisfied with letting two people take over again, even if they were veterans.
"It has to be her?" The old emperor was dissatisfied, but Qin Jiyan did not back down: "Grandpa Huang, I must solve this case and find the mastermind behind it."
"Can she find it?" the old emperor snorted disdainfully.
It is better for women to be more peaceful and stay at home, and not to run around when there is nothing to do.
"Grandpa Huang, it's my business to find the murderer." Qin Jiyan himself was not sure when he would find the murderer behind the scenes, and how he could blame everything on Gu Qiancheng.
"Since it's not her fault, then let other people do it." The old emperor dropped these words, showing his incompatibility.
Qin Jiyan did not refute, but looked at the old emperor quietly, and then said lightly: "My grandson has accepted the decree."
Then he turned around and left, not wanting to stay for a moment longer...
The old emperor looked at Qin Jiyan's leaving figure and was so angry that his fingers trembled: "He, what's his attitude?" He didn't take him as an emperor seriously at all, he was too arrogant...
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Your Highness Changsun has this temper, and you don't know it." The old eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to give the old emperor some relief. He took a sneak peek to make sure that the emperor was not really angry. The old eunuch said calmly:
"Your Majesty, His Highness Changsun's temper is exactly the same as when you were young. You were not like this back then. His Highness Changsun did this because of the case at hand. Your Highness is a serious and responsible person, just like you."
The old eunuch was the old emperor's confidant. He followed the old emperor when he was still a prince. Along the way, he won the old emperor's trust. He also knew the old emperor's temper well and knew what to say to make the old emperor happy.
.
Sure enough, the old emperor immediately turned from anger to joy and said very proudly: "Ji Yan, this child does look like Teng. You really can't blame me for loving this child. This child is the only one who regards me as a grandfather instead of an emperor. He is happy if he is happy."
, you dare to look down on me if you are not happy."
"This is all because you have taught me well, Your Majesty, and His Highness Changsun is close to you. Except for you, His Highness Changsun ignores everyone." The old eunuch smiled like a flower, but in his heart he was cursing: That is to say, His Highness Changsun dares to give you
Judging by your appearance, if others don't treat you like an emperor, you might kill them.
Qin Jiyan didn't know about the conversation between the old emperor and the old eunuch. If he knew about it, he would definitely laugh...
Do you regard the emperor as your grandfather?
He thinks he has lived too long!
Gu Qiancheng was not asked to come, and Qin Jiyan was not angry. This case was moved two days earlier, and there were many doubts in it. It didn't matter if Gu Qiancheng didn't go, his entering the palace was just a gesture.
After leaving the palace and taking the two old widowers given by the emperor, Qin Jiyan rushed to the scene of the crime - Xiangyun Inn.
Next year is the year of the competition. Now many students have arrived in the capital in advance. Many students live in Xiangyun Inn. It is usually very lively, but it is even more lively today.
A murder occurred in the inn, and these people are all suspected. They are all under guard and are not allowed to leave...
When Qin Jiyan brought people over, it was already noon and the sun was shining brightly. A group of students were staying in the hall on the first floor, huddled together and noisy. The smell of sweat was really unpleasant.
Qin Jiyan frowned before he stepped in...
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way, His Highness the King of Qin is here." The official stepped forward and cleared a path, and opened the windows along the way for ventilation.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Highness the King of Qin..."
"A murder case actually alarmed His Highness King Qin, my God..."
"What do you know? This is not an ordinary murder case. One happened in Chunyi Tower before. This is a serial murder case. The King of Qin is investigating this case."
A group of students mingled together, exchanging information they knew with each other, but they were all a little absent-minded when talking, their eyes looking at Qin Jiyan from time to time, hoping that they would be appreciated by Qin Jiyan...
They are all students who came to take the imperial examination. However, the imperial examination is about one in a thousand. Although they are quite talented, they cannot guarantee that they will pass the examination.
These students came to the capital in advance not only to get to know people, but also to participate in various poetry fairs and become famous in order to be appreciated by big shots.
If there are big shots who appreciate them, maybe they can rise to the top without taking the imperial examination...
Just like women who fall into water will pray for a prince to save them; many students have always dreamed of a big man who could see his talent and ask them a question, and then they would talk.
Conquer the opponent with your talent and learning, and then become a king and a general...
As everyone knows, this possibility is almost impossible. While these students were still dreaming, Qin Jiyan had already passed through the crowd and reached the second floor. The group of people could only see a corner of Qin Jiyan's clothes...
