Xumi Pianruo stood in the yard, his face looking indescribably ugly.
The iron pestle is still there, and the corpse in Lin Mu's Mansion that looks chilling to the bottom of my heart is also there.
He looked back at Lin Ye.
The guy was standing not far away, looking at a tree in the yard as if in a daze, but his line of sight seemed to be higher than the tree.
Xumi Pianruo really wanted to go over and ask Lin Ye who was involved in the Lin Mu Mansion.
He looked again at the unrecognizable assassin... no, it was the assassin whose body was mutilated.
Anyway, he didn't quite believe that Lin Ye killed Lin Mufu because of the assassin, so Lin Ye beat the assassin into a puddle of mud based on his desire to avenge Lin Mufu.
But Xumi Pianruo would not ask such a question even if a donkey kicked his head again.
After thinking for a moment, Xumi Pianruo walked to Lin Ye.
He touched Lin Ye's shoulder with his shoulder: "Do you know that assassin?"
Lin Ye shook his head.
Xumi Pianruo: "How can you be beaten like that if you don't know me?"
Lin Ye looked up at the sky, not wanting to answer such a question.
Xumi Pianruo already knew Lin Ye's character very well, and he didn't want to get into trouble when Lin Ye didn't want to talk.
So when Lin Ye looked up at the sky like a fool, Xumi Pianruo accompanied the fool to look up.
But he didn't know that Lin Ye just wanted to tell the people in heaven that although revenge can't bring you back to life, since our ancestors said that revenge is to comfort the spirits in heaven, it must make sense.
If you hear it and see it, then you can leave in a down-to-earth manner.
In this way, Xumi Pianruo and Lin Ye watched the sky for a long time.
Until someone came forward, His Majesty had learned of the case and asked Lin Ye and Xumi Pianruo to enter the palace immediately.
Xumi Pianruo glanced at Lin Ye: "General, if you don't tell me, you always have to tell His Majesty, why don't we talk about it now."
Lin Ye said: "Which one of us arrived first?"
Xumi Pianruo: "The pit can't be so hard. If I arrive a little later, the bones will fall off the body."
Lin Ye: "Since I came here first, just tell me what you saw."
Xumi Pianruo thought about it and found that what Lin Ye said made sense.
Crossing words in front of His Majesty?
In fact, Xumi Pianruo has always had a doubt in his heart. He was wondering if His Majesty had become a spirit after practicing for thousands of years...
It is obvious that His Majesty is not familiar with spiritual practice and martial arts, but those eyes seem to be able to see directly into people's hearts.
Xumi Pianruo said: "That being said, General, if you are not a good person, Your Majesty will always hold you accountable. As a friend of the General...forget it, I will figure it out myself when I get to the palace."
Well, help the general as much as you can."
Lin Ye glanced at him, expressing with his eyes that he didn't believe a word of what he said.
Soon after, the imperial study room of Zhenyuan Palace.
The emperor had just sent away Concubine Wan Gui. The concubine said she liked Yunxi's company and was leaving the palace to stay in the eldest princess's mansion for a few days.
The emperor was so reluctant to part with him that he almost laughed.
In fact, no matter how close a couple is to each other, it is still necessary to take a break from time to time.
Seeing Lin Ye and Xumi Pianruo arriving, the emperor didn't say anything and turned back to the imperial study.
Lin Ye and Xumi Pianruo followed them in, and before entering, Xumi Pianruo knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty, I suspect Lin Ye, the general of the Cowardly Army, is suspected of killing Ge Lao Lin Mufu."
Not to mention Lin Ye was stunned, even the emperor was stunned.
Lin Ye looked at that guy kneeling there and thought to himself, that's all, I still think highly of you after all.
The emperor sighed: "Stop pretending, get up and talk."
Xumi Pianruo stood up immediately: "I obey your order."
The emperor asked: "Did you see that it was Lin Ye who killed Lin Mufu?"
Xumi Pianruo: "That's not true."
The emperor asked again: "Then you found out that Lin Ye had a plot to kill Lin Mufu?"
Xumi Pianruo: "That's not true."
The emperor asked again: "You didn't see it, and you didn't find it out, so has anyone else seen it or found it out?"
Xumi Pianruo said: "That's even less true."
The Emperor said: "Since you didn't see it with your own eyes, and you have no evidence or witnesses, why do you say that Lin Ye killed Lin Mufu?"
Xumi Pianruo replied extremely seriously: "I am just eager to distance myself."
Lin Ye wanted to applaud.
The emperor was too lazy to pay attention to Xumi Pianruo, looked at Lin Ye and asked: "What's going on?"
Lin Ye pointed at Xumi Pianruo: "I and Mr. Xumi, the young minister of Dali Temple, were going to leave the city together. Mr. Xumi said that it was dangerous to go out of the city, so he asked me to go to a less dangerous place and go back to Lin Mu's house.
It depends."
Xumi Pianruo's eyes also widened.
The Emperor said: "So you happened to be killed in Lin Mu's Mansion?"
Lin Ye: "I suspect that all of this is a design by Xumi Pianruo, who deliberately asked me to go to Lin Mufu's house, and then framed me. In fact, he arranged the murder of Lin Mufu..."
Xumi Pianruo: "Ahem..."
The Emperor said: "I haven't seen colleagues who love each other so much for a long time."
Xumi Pianruo: "Your Majesty, this is a pure frame-up by Lin Ye. I was ordered to investigate the case. Your Majesty told me to keep an eye on Lin Mu's Mansion."
Lin Ye: "Whether His Majesty asked you to keep an eye on it or not, but you asked me to go to Lin Mu's house, how could it be such a coincidence? If you hadn't directly sent people to kill Lin Mu's house, then you must have known
Who sent someone to kill me, and then you deliberately set up this trap to frame me and cover up the real murderer."
It was rare for him to say so many words in one breath.
Xumi Pianruo immediately answered: "If His Majesty hadn't sent me to keep an eye on Lin Mu's Mansion, why should I keep an eye on him? It's completely unreasonable and unreasonable. I don't even know how to keep an eye on him.
What's the reason to kill him?"
The emperor sighed.
He felt so annoyed.
After a while, the emperor said: "So, by singing in harmony, you two want to say that the murderer is actually me?"
Xumi Pianruo immediately looked at Lin Ye: "You are brave!"
Lin Ye responded tit for tat: "You are a traitor!"
The emperor glared at both of them: "It's ugly, it's really ugly, I feel upset just looking at it."
The two men immediately stood in awe, and neither of them spoke.
The Emperor said: "Is there a murderer present in Lin Mu's death?"
Lin Ye replied: "Your Majesty, yes."
The emperor asked again: "Where is the murderer?"
Lin Ye: "Dead."
The emperor looked at Xumi Pianruo: "So you really sent someone to kill Lin Mufu, and then arranged for Lin Ye to be a witness to clear your suspicion, and then put the blame on Lin Ye?"
Xumi Pianruo's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, you can't do this, Your Majesty."
The Emperor smiled: "They all rolled over there and sat there talking, dangling in front of me, getting more and more upset."
The two people immediately found a place to sit down, as well-behaved as two children of a few years old.
The emperor asked Xumi Pianruo: "Besides such nonsense, do you have anything useful to tell me?"
Xumi Pianruo immediately stood up and said: "I will do my best to solve the case as soon as possible and uphold the national law."
The emperor looked at Xumi Pianruo. He didn't speak, but his eyes clearly told Xumi Pianruo... Didn't I tell you to stop talking nonsense?
He raised his finger and pointed at the table: "You have nothing useful to give me, but I have something useful to give you."
Xumi Pianruo hurried over and saw a stack of banknotes on the table.
Xumi Pianruo was startled and her eyes widened: "Your Majesty, are they all for me? Are they all for me alone?"
Emperor: "..."
He looked at Xumi Pianruo and said, "Only you can handle this matter, Lin Ye can't handle it."
Xumi Pianruo said quickly: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, just ask me to do it. I will pay you back... Sir, I don't dare to live up to the emperor's favor, so I reluctantly accepted it."
The emperor frowned, and Xumi Pianruo immediately put down the stack of banknotes.
The Emperor said: "If you can't tell me right away what I want you to do, I will tell the officials tomorrow morning that it was indeed you who killed Lin Mufu."
Xumi Pianruo leaned over and said: "I... I did guess something. No, no, no, I did find out something."
He looked at the banknotes and said: "These banknotes were found from the murderer. What a coincidence, I happened to be investigating Jun Buwei recently."
"What's even more coincidental is that Jun Buwei's account books were burned. Many of the accounts don't match up, but it's even more strange that the money in the accounting room doesn't match up."
While he was talking, he put the banknotes away, his movements natural and not unnatural at all.
Xumi Pianruo continued: "Tomorrow, I will be able to find out. It turns out that the person who burned Jun Buwei's account book is indeed Jun Buwei's boss Lin Fangchu."
"The day after tomorrow, I will be able to interrogate Lin Fangchu and find out. It turns out that Jun Buwei's real boss is Lin Mufu."
"Lin Fang confessed because Dali Temple suddenly checked Jun Buwei's account. He was afraid that his self-stealing over the years would be discovered, and that he was also afraid that he used the money to curry favor with officials of the government would be discovered, so he took the risk and burned it.
Account book.”
"However, as Jun Buwei's real boss, Lin Mufu was very angry about this matter and ordered a strict investigation of Jun Buwei's accounts. Of course, Mr. Lin Ge didn't know that his subordinates were so evil."
"Lin Fangchu was scared. He was afraid that he would die without a burial place if he was found out, so he became hot-headed and decided not to do anything else and bribed the murderer to kill Lin Mufu."
Lin Ye stood nearby and looked at Xumi Pianruo. At this moment, he wanted to applaud Xumi Pianruo even more.
He also wanted to applaud the emperor.
A person like Xumi Pianruo was born to do this. What kind of discernment does Your Majesty have to be able to see Xumi Pianruo's ability at a glance?
The emperor was also very satisfied with Xumi Pianruo's words, because there was such a sentence in Xumi Pianruo's words... Lin Fang went out to flatter the officials of the court.
Without this sentence, the case would have ended here.
There is such a saying, this case can be dug deeper and deeper, and because Lin Mufu was killed, His Majesty was furious, so Dali Temple would of course work even harder to investigate.
After hearing this, the emperor waved his hand: "Let's all go. Since we have clues, we should investigate carefully. Don't let me down, nor let down the trust of the civil and military officials of the court."
The two people quickly bowed and then turned around and walked out at the same time.
After leaving the imperial study, Xumi Pianruo let out a long breath, and then asked Lin Ye: "General, how about I use retreat to advance?"
Lin Ye said: "Heh."
Xumi Pianruo said: "If the general is interested in this matter..."
Lin Ye: "Not interested."
Xumi Pianruo took out the stack of banknotes from his arms, counted them carefully, divided half of them and handed them to Lin Ye.
After Lin Ye took it, he naturally put the banknote away without any unnaturalness.
He said: "At the court meeting tomorrow morning, I think you should tell His Majesty that you need help from someone, preferably someone who has nothing to do with the Lin Mu Mansion, and preferably someone who has just come to Geling from outside."
Xumi Pianruo sighed: "Sure enough, money is better."
Lin Ye said: "Give me your other half, you can go home and rest, and I will help you solve all the cases."
Xumi Pianruo covered her chest: "These banknotes are of great use."
Lin Ye: "Tell me, I want to know what is more important than hiring me."
Xumi Pianruo said seriously: "We know who the murderer may be, but there is no evidence. At this time, the case has entered a stalemate stage. Is there any way to break the stalemate as soon as possible?"
Lin Ye: "I would like to hear the details."
Xumi Pianruo gritted his teeth: "Framed."
Lin Ye strode away.
Xumi Pianruo chased after him: "General, what do you mean?"
Lin Ye said: "Without him, I just want to stay away from you."
Meanwhile, the inn.
After Qi Ai entered the house, he glanced at the pile of banknotes on the table and thought to himself that the man named Song Shisan really didn't dare to touch it.
