Chapter 401 Dare to be Bai Houye who dare not recognize it
Compared with Yuanhua, even Bai Jinyu took a while to come to his senses. Is she just dead like this?
The death was too sudden.
Yuanhua explained dryly: "They threatened me to change people in the account book. I wanted to stretch my arms and negotiate the price, but they didn't even give me a chance. They just wiped my neck and I didn't have time to save me.
I really didn’t kill her on purpose. With all my conscience, I wouldn’t let myself be so despicable for you..."
Yuanhua Balabala's explanation made Feng Junan feel unspeakable in his heart. Do you dislike me that much?
"I know you are not such a person. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you. I can only blame her for her bad fate. It was just an accident. I know, and I believe you."
Yuan Hua breathed a sigh of relief, "What you said is still human-like, not too bad."
Feng Junan, who was not too bad, had the body collected and sent back to the Fang family, and the family was reunited. The Fang family now only has an eight-year-old Fang Feiyang left, which is really strange.
Bai Jinyu was even more curious about the identity of these assassins, why they wanted to rob the account books, and even intercept and kill them on the street.
Asked Feng Junan: "Didn't you encounter any assassination along the way?"
"We met, but there are experts from the Cao Gang who gathered together. We were very careful along the way. We thought we would be safe when we arrived in the capital. Those experts have criminal records and it is not convenient for them to enter the capital, so we asked them to wait outside the city."
Bai Jinyu understood that they had waited until now because they had no chance.
If you don't take action now, you won't have a chance in the future.
However, they still missed, but they did a good thing and killed Fang Zhiyu.
Although this woman's crime is not worthy of death, Bai Jinyu and Yuanhua think differently. The sooner the annoying person disappears, the better. Doing small tricks in front of your eyes is disgusting and annoying. It's a good thing if you don't get your hands dirty and get killed.
Son.
"Let these people investigate in Dali Temple slowly and go to the palace first to avoid causing trouble."
The group did not dare to delay any longer, as it would be troublesome if there was another wave of assassinations.
Because of Yuanhua's good reputation, Emperor Xianqing rarely saw people now. He stopped attending court in the morning, only discussed matters with a few pavilion elders, and spent most of his time recuperating.
This was the first time for Feng Junan to come to such a solemn and solemn place. His unruly spirit was restrained, and he was not as calm as Yuanhua and Bai Jinyu.
For the first time, I felt a sense of inferiority. It turned out that their backgrounds were really different. He didn't seem to be worthy of Huahua, but she and Bai Jinyu seemed like a perfect couple. Their appearance, family background, and demeanor were all so compatible.
Then he gritted his teeth again. This Bai Jinyu was also insidious. He didn't say anything, but there was nothing he did that he didn't like Huahua. He was really a coward. He dared to do it but dared not say it. What kind of man was he?
When they were thinking wildly, Emperor Xianqing met them.
The sun is nice today, so let’s take a breather in the garden. Yuanhua is also a nephew and junior, so there is no need to be so serious.
But when Yuanhua took out the account book, Emperor Xianqing looked at it, his face turned as black as ink, "What a Tian family, I really mistrusted him."
If the Tian family hadn't already confiscated and exterminated the entire family, they would have been killed again.
This time the Tian family was completely dead, and the last trace of Emperor Xianqing's mercy was completely gone. All his in-laws and friends who had good relations with the Tian family were angry, and Dali Temple was asked to continue the investigation. All those who had close contacts with the Tian family were to be investigated.
Check carefully.
When the news reached the Prince's Mansion, Qiu Ling covered her chest and almost fainted. Fortunately, they reconciled, otherwise the Prince's Mansion would have been implicated this time, and their family had reaped the benefits of the Tian family.
Who knows if the money came from the wrong source?
Now that they are reconciled and the two families have fallen out, they will definitely not investigate the prince's palace.
Back to Emperor Xianqing, this ledger involved many court officials and so many smuggled out salt and iron supplies, it was already a complete route.
If we were to find out this line, I don't know how many people would be killed.
Moreover, this job is an offending job, and most people would not dare to take it.
Emperor Xianqing was silent. Yuanhua didn't quite understand, so she kept silent and waited obediently for the emperor's instructions.
Bai Jinyu took the initiative to step forward and ask for orders: "Your Majesty, I would like to share your worries with you."
"you?"
Emperor Xianqing was a little surprised. Bai Jinyu had great literary talent and a reputation for talent, but could he do such a thing as investigating a case?
Bai Jinyu said: "This matter is not too difficult. What is difficult is that there are too many people involved and the relationships are complicated. No one can be truly selfless and will always protect their relatives.
I have no such concerns. I am alone, have no relatives, and have no interests involved with these people. I dare not say that I will not unjustly accuse a good person, and I will try my best to ensure justice."
Emperor Xianqing looked at his upright eyebrows and serious eyes, and he was good-looking. He was not mediocre, but he was a little hesitant and his eyes were complicated.
Yuanhua said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Bai is good not only in terms of body but also of brains. This time he also realized that the account book is very important. If it were me, I would be able to read all the words, but what do you mean, it's just difficult for me."
"
Emperor Xianqing was amused by her. The simple and straightforward Yuanhua, who had always been his favorite junior, smiled and said: "Well, if Bai Aiqing can share my worries and be loyal, I will naturally fulfill her wish.
It’s just that there is no vacancy in the imperial court, so let’s do it this way. There is a Criminal Punishment Department in the palace, which is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It is an yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can go to the Criminal Punishment Department and be the head of the department, and report this case to me alone.”
Yuanhua was a little dissatisfied when she heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a place where only minions went. Bai Jinyu was a marquis after all, so could he listen to those minions?
"Your Majesty, what is the rank of this boss? How much is his salary? Lord Bai is a marquis after all. If he acts like a slave, wouldn't he be undermining his talents?"
Bai Jinyu didn't expect Yuanhua to speak for him, so he was very grateful.
Emperor Xianqing thought for a while: "Originally, it was a fourth rank, but it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It doesn't sound good to say it. Let's do this. I decree that the Shenxing Department will be separated and a yamen will be assigned to you. The position will be according to that of a military commander.
To match the system, you, the boss, have been promoted to the second rank."
Bai Jinyu knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. This job is not easy to do. If you do it well, the Criminal Investigation Department will be on an equal footing with Dali Temple, specializing in investigating major and important cases. But if you don't do it well, we can disband it on the spot."
Bai Jinyu thanked him again: "I understand that the emperor can rest assured that he will be satisfied."
Feng Junan did not dare to say a word, his presence was useless. Emperor Xianqing said: "Feng Junan? I have heard about you, you are a very loyal young man. Are you interested in getting a position in the Ministry of Punishment?"
Feng Junan had no reason not to agree. In the past, he worked with Wen Chen in Dali Temple and was not even considered a servant. Now that he can serve in the Ministry of Punishment, he is still Emperor Chrysostom. If he refuses, he is out of his mind. "The common people are willing."
"
"Okay, there is a vacancy in the Criminal Department for the head of the Criminal Department. You will be responsible for hunting down the remnants of the Tian family. I am very optimistic about you."
