Qin Jiyan frowned inaudibly, feeling extremely reluctant in his heart, but he had to cheer up and play the next game with the old emperor...
There was no surprise. Qin Jiyan lost again, but this time he only lost eight pieces. The old emperor was impressed and couldn't help but ask: "Not bad, you have made progress. Have you studied chess records during this time?"
Will Qin Jiyan study chess records? Don't be kidding. If he has this free time, he would rather read two more books on the art of war than study chess records, but...
He couldn't say this to the old emperor, so Qin Jiyan could only nod his head to make the old emperor happy.
Sure enough, after hearing that Qin Jiyan was willing to work hard on chess, the old emperor was very happy and immediately gave Qin Jiyan several chess records and asked him to go back and study hard.
Qin Jiyan thanked him mercilessly, but deep down he felt bored: How could he have time to study chess records?
However, it is okay to give it to Gu Qiancheng. Once Gu Qiancheng knows it by heart, then give it to him. Anyway, what belongs to Gu Qiancheng is his.
Thinking of this, Qin Jiyan was much satisfied with the old emperor's reward, with a slight smile on his lips.
When the old emperor watched Qin Jiyan leave, he thought Qin Jiyan was happy that he had lost a few coins today, so he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle...
As soon as the queen came in, the old emperor was in a good mood. He smiled and asked, "What happened to make the emperor so happy?"
Although the empress is not the empress of the old emperor, she has been a couple for many years. Occasionally, when the old emperor is in a good mood, she will speak more casually.
"I'm thinking about Ji Yan's child. It's so easy to be satisfied." The old emperor was very motivated and told the queen what had just happened.
After hearing this, the queen agreed with a smile and took the opportunity to say a few nice words for Qin Jiyan, but she sneered in her heart: Only the old emperor would think that Qin Jiyan was happy because he lost a few coins.
As soon as Qin Jiyan left the palace, he knew why the old emperor was unhappy before. It turned out...
When the fifth prince heard about the impeachment of the Gu family and Concubine Gu, he ignored the obstruction of the palace maid and wanted to stand up to plead guilty to the emperor. In the end, the wound that had almost healed burst open.
It has to be said that the fifth prince has a strong learning ability and is three times better than Gu Guifei in using tricks. Although the old emperor is not happy that the fifth prince disregards his own health for a trivial matter, he is even more unhappy that the Gu family has caused such a mess.
thing.
"Almost." Qin Jiyan murmured to himself, his eyes slightly closed, no one knew what he was thinking.
Thinking of the news he had received before, Qin Jiyan did not go to see Gu Qiancheng, nor did he rush to send the chess records to Gu Qiancheng. Instead, he copied the chess records in his study.
When the chief steward came in to refill Qin Jiyan's tea, he was shocked to find that Qin Jiyan was copying the chess records. You must know that His Highness is not a person who likes to play chess. In other words, due to the influence of the former prince, His Highness King Qin rejected him.
chess.
The former prince was good at playing chess, and countless people praised him for being good at playing, good at strategizing, and having the world in mind!
The late prince had too many kind words to say about him, so he left early.
The chief steward was full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask them out for fear of making Qin Jiyan sad by mentioning the late prince.
The old emperor was secretly beating him. Qin Jiyan rarely went out these days except for routine official duties. He spent most of his time on the Cheng family's case, and the Cheng family's case was soon to be tried.
On the day of the public trial, many students and ordinary people watched. The Cheng family also sent someone to come forward to apologize to the family of the deceased on the spot and promised a certain amount of compensation.
This case was heard in great detail. Everyone who was watching the case and the family members of the deceased knew that the Cheng family was also a victim. Their eldest lady was stupid and stupid and was controlled by evil medicine. In the face of the Cheng family's apology and compensation,
Although the family members of the deceased were unwilling to accept it, they were not embarrassed.
Moreover, the Cheng family faced the crisis head-on, took all responsibilities, and did not shirk the blame or cover up. Many people admired it. They believed that although the Cheng family had a murderer, they dared to take responsibility for their mistakes, unlike some powerful people who committed crimes.
He used power to suppress people, forcing the people to have no way to complain when they had their grievances.
Of course, the onlookers mostly praised His Highness King Qin for his impartiality and impartiality in handling the case, not letting the criminals go unpunished, and giving justice to the deceased.
The evidence in the case was conclusive, and Cheng Rui confessed on the spot. The government sentenced Cheng Rui to death on the spot. Neither the deceased's family nor the Cheng family had any objections.
It's just that the person behind the scenes fled to Northern Qi and could not be tried for a while. However, the government also said that the court was communicating with Northern Qi and would escort the prisoner Wu Liulang back to Daqin as soon as possible.
With a loud noise, the case of the student jumping from the tower has finally come to an end. The case can be closed only after the main criminal Wu Liulang is brought to justice. However, the conclusion of the case of the student jumping from the tower does not mean that the case of the Goddess Tower is closed.
The dozens of female corpses under the Goddess Tower still need to be investigated, and with Gu Qiancheng's portrait, the people from Liumen quickly verified the identity of the deceased and handed over a piece of evidence to Kyoto Prefecture, asking him to try the case as soon as possible.
.
Kyoto Prefecture Yiyi was pleased to see that His Highness the King of Qin was giving him political achievements. The evidence for these twenty-odd murder cases was complete, and all he had to do was send a policeman to pick up the person.
Kyoto Prefecture may not want the political achievements delivered to his door, but...
The Kyoto Prefecture did not dare to ignore the case that His Highness the King of Qin was looking at. He immediately sent a policeman to arrest the person. At the same time, he carried out Qin Jiyan's order to secretly investigate the believers of the goddess in the capital, register their identities one by one, and secretly monitor them.
!
Qin Jiyan was so busy that it took him nearly half a month to wrap up this case, and at this time he was also preparing to leave for Northern Qi. Of course, before that, Qin Jiyan would not forget to speed up the pace secretly to solve the Gu family's matter.
Without the old man in the Gu family, the Gu family was in disarray and full of holes. Qin Jiyan had previously asked people to collect information about Duke Gu's affair with his step-sibling Gu Zheng during Wu Yun's funeral, and found out the doctor who diagnosed Gu Zheng's pulse and Po Xi who delivered the baby.
,besides……
When Gu Guogong and Gu Zheng had an affair, the servants and maids who guarded the door for them.
Gu Zheng was a ruthless and calculating woman, but she was not bold enough when she was young. She sent these insiders far away but did not kill anyone.
Although more than ten years have passed and it is difficult to find the people back then, those people are ordinary people and do not know how to hide their traces. Qin Jiyan only had to send people to follow the traces and find them one by one.
Of course, Qin Jiyan did not come forward after finding these people, but continued to ask Wu Ding to complain. Wu Ding's identity as a side branch of the Wu family is still very useful. If Wu Ding comes forward for this kind of thing, no one can say anything.
wrong.
Wu Ding presented the petition, and there was pressure from the Feng family and the Yan family. The minister of Dali Temple did not dare not accept the petition, nor did he dare to hear the case, so he had to report the matter to the emperor.
But as luck would have it, when the Minister of Dali Temple reported the matter, the old emperor was furious because Concubine Gu had ruined the face of a young concubine. Seeing the note handed over by the Minister of Dali Temple, the old emperor let Dali Temple do it without even thinking about it.
Please do things according to the rules.
As soon as these words came out, the Minister of Dali Temple didn't understand anything, so he immediately opened a case and sent someone to the Gu family to ask questions...
