The boy was about to speak, when a cold snort came from behind him.
Lin Fei was silent, turned around and bowed to Lord Jingguo to apologize, then immediately turned around and made a gesture after getting up, signaling the boy to follow him and walk aside.
Jing Yunhou and others who were present at the scene sighed almost in unison when they saw Lin Fei's reaction, and raised their eyes to look at Lord Yasukuni who was sitting on the main seat: Unsurprisingly, Lord Yasukuni's face turned dark.
Then he turned his head to look at Lin Fei who was walking aside with the servant. Although the servant's voice was low and he couldn't hear clearly, he could see Lin Fei's face froze, although he couldn't see the expression in his eyes clearly. , but looking at the flashing back at that moment, it seems that some huge case has happened.
Jing Yunhou and the others didn't think that Lin Fei, who was the young minister of Dali Temple, should ignore this case. After all, the murderer didn't pick the right time to commit the crime, and he knew how to avoid Yuan Yue.
But what case is so important? Didn't even have the time to serve grandfather a bowl of tea?
Just as he was thinking like this, Lin Fei, who had finished talking with the boy, turned around. He strode up to Lord Yasukuni and said, "Grandfather, a homicide occurred in the Zhaixing Tower..."
Prince Yasukuni's face was still dark, looking at him, waiting for his next words.
"The one who died was Zhao Mengzhuo." Lin Fei said, bowed to Duke Jing, and without any explanation, turned around and strode away.
He left in a crisp and hasty manner, leaving everyone who was startled by this sentence stunned.
It was only after Lin Fei left that Duke Yasukuni came back to his senses and coughed. The dark complexion just now had long since disappeared, replaced by a face full of shock: "What did Ah Fei just say?"
Woke awake by Lord Jingguo's cough, Jing Yunhou came back to his senses and said, "Afei said... that the one who died was... Zhao Mengzhuo."
As soon as the words "Zhao Mengzhuo" came out, Lord Yasukuni gasped immediately, and the next moment, he stood up suddenly: "Something has happened!"
The chief of the Dali Temple Yamen who was in charge of the murder case in Darong, Dali Siqing, died! If it's about grudges and sorrow... Zhao Mengzhuo was still possible when he was young, but Zhao Mengzhuo, who has been tempered and smoother in recent years, has never heard of grudges!
It wasn't enmity, if it wasn't an accident, there was only one possibility for Zhao Mengzhuo's death.
"Maybe I know something I shouldn't know." Jing Yunhou murmured, "Working in the yamen of Dali Temple is the easiest way to get into troubles that have nothing to do with me."
This is also the reason why he didn't pay attention to his second son going to the Yamen of Dali Temple.
Now that something happened to Zhao Mengzhuo, the burden of being the master of the entire Dali Temple yamen naturally fell on Lin Fei's head.
Not only should he be held accountable, but thinking that it was Zhao Mengzhuo who died this time, it seemed that their colleagues who were officials in the same dynasty were all cheered up when they heard it, and they felt uncomfortable. Not to mention, for Lin Fei, this is the peak of getting along day and night?
Jing Yunhou boasted that after so many years, he had already cultivated a somewhat calm state of mind, but when he first heard about this, he was still a little overwhelmed, let alone Lin Shizi and Mrs. Hou behind him.
Duke Jingguo and Marquis Jingyun had no time to mourn at this time, and when they calmed down for a while, Duke Jingguo looked up at the young man who rushed in to report to Lin Fei.
Although just now the boy rushed in regardless of his care, he was a little dissatisfied with him. He felt that this boy didn't understand etiquette at all, and he was a face he had never seen before, and he didn't know where the second grandson was found; After knowing the whole story of the matter, he no longer blamed him, not only did he not blame him, but he also somewhat recognized the boy's behavior of not sticking to etiquette and fear of getting into trouble.
Rules are dead, but people are alive. Etiquette and so on also depend on the priority of the matter, like Zhao Mengzhuo's matter should be done as a matter of urgency, without delay.
Thinking like this, looking at the dark-faced young man with a slight accent, Lord Yasukuni's impression improved a lot, and he raised his hand to signal him to come closer.
After the young man called Ping An approached, Lord Yasukuni asked, "What happened to the person who came to report the letter? How could Mr. Zhao be assassinated in the Zhaixing Tower?"
Lin Fei left in a hurry and did not elaborate on what happened, but when they heard about Zhao Mengzhuo's accident, Lord Jingguo and others subconsciously thought of the most common accidental death of an official—assassination.
"Report to the Duke," Pingan shook his head, and said, "Master Zhao was not assassinated, but fell from the roof."
As soon as these words came out, Lord Yasukuni and the others looked horrified: "What?"
Jing Yunhou was also taken aback. After he realized it, he quickly asked Pingan: "Could it be that he slipped and fell?"
"I don't know this little one." Ping An said, paused, and then said, "But the officer who came to report said that there were fireworks on the top of the Zhaxing Building, which illuminated the top floor brightly, and the people below saw it as if someone stretched it hand, my lord fell down the building, and fell down in full view of everyone."
It sounds like there were quite a few witnesses to the details of the whole incident, so there should be no objection. Lord Yasukuni sighed, and said: "The case itself is not difficult, after all, there are so many witnesses present! Only Ah Fei has to deal with Shangfeng's death with his own hands, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help shaking his head again, but after shaking his head too much, he let out a "huh" and said, "It seems that the rest of them have gone to the Zhaixing Tower today..." He shook his head again as he said, today He shook his head several times. Mr. Jing Guo rubbed his sore neck and said, "However, they have nothing to do with Zhao Mengzhuo on a daily basis, so it shouldn't be a big relationship."
Responding to this, Jing Yunhou frowned and did not speak.
The "regulars and others" mentioned by Lord Yasukuni are old friends of Lord Yasukuni. Because of his relationship, they would exchange a few words when meeting each other on weekdays.
Jing Yunhou glanced at the other side who was also frowning. Lin Shizi, who was about to speak, gave him a wink, signaling him not to speak, and asked Jing Guogong himself: "How does father know that Mr. Chang and the others are gone today?" Zhaxing Building?"
"Originally, the old man is going today too," Jing Guogong said here, gave Jing Yunhou a blank look, and cursed, "If you, father and son, hadn't vented your anger on me, how could I sit here and drink with you three today?" Is this apologetic tea?"
Right now, I drank two cups of apology tea, but I haven't drunk the remaining one.
Jing Yunhou's eyes as a son naturally understood, picked up the apology tea that Lin Fei had left there just now, and personally made an apology on behalf of his son: "It's my fault, I didn't teach Ah Fei well, and my life is at stake right now." My God, it was Zhao Mengzhuo who had the accident again, after this matter is over, even the gang will tie him up in front of his father and ask him to accompany him to his father."
Duke Jingguo snorted, although it was a cold snort, he took the tea offered by Marquis Jingyun in his hand.
After taking two sips and putting the teacup aside, Marquis Jingyun sighed and said, "Master Chang and the others are also unlucky, why did they choose today? What happened to Zhao Mengzhuo today, according to the regulations of Dali Temple The rules, I am afraid that everyone who is in the Zhaixing Tower will be taken to Dali Temple for a question, and they will not be able to go back until midnight."
"It's time for them to be greedy and want to drink that one or two sips of tea!" Lord Jingguo didn't take it seriously when he heard the words, obviously he didn't think much about Jingyunhou's words, and said, "It's just a dry share, let the people below go for a while. , who knows that they must drink that sip of tea?"
