Chapter 334 Hua Ming
Emperor Yong'an was Zhao Shangshu summoned in the Imperial Study Room.
"Have you found out who poisoned Luo Chi?"
Zhao Shangshu was a little embarrassed: "It hasn't been found yet."
Emperor Yong'an's eyes were deep, and his tone could not be heard: "Zhao Aiqing has a very capable subordinate named Lin Teng?"
Zhao Shangshu suffocated for breath.
What does the emperor mean? Did you fancy Lin Teng, his capable general?
But I haven't heard of any yamen that has a suitable vacancy for Lin Teng.
If you have one, you can't let it go. No one can try to rob Lin Teng from him.
Zhao Shangshu coughed dryly: "Lin Teng is still young after all, so it is inevitable to spend some time on such a complicated case."
"Then what is Zhao Shangshu going to report when he enters the palace?" Emperor Yong'an's tone became more and more unpredictable.
The Ministry of Criminal Affairs is getting weaker and weaker. The assassination on Pingnanwang Street has not been revealed yet, and it has become an unsolved case.
"It was the guard who changed his statement." Zhao Shangshu felt that the emperor seemed to be angry, so he hurriedly said the key points.
"Changed the confession?" Emperor Yong'an's eyes changed, and his expression became solemn.
"Reporting to the emperor, after many interrogations, the guard confessed that Liuqing county magistrate ordered him to falsely accuse Luo Dadu—"
"Really?" Emperor Yong'an's face changed suddenly, and he interrupted before Zhao Shangshu finished speaking.
Zhao Shangshu cupped his hands: "I dare not lie to the emperor."
Emperor Yong'an nodded imperceptibly.
Although Zhao Shangshu doesn't have much ability, he wins by being honest and obedient.
"Speak carefully."
"yes."
Emperor Yong'an closed his eyes slightly after listening to Zhao Shangshu's report, and did not open his eyes for a long time.
Zhao Shangshu lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, not saying a word more.
The situation is already chaotic enough, this is not bad, and even because of the sudden change of the guard of the Zhennan Palace, the pressure to track down the real culprit who poisoned Governor Luo is still a little less.
This is also one of the reasons why he went to the palace to report as soon as he got the news.
After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Yong'an finally opened his eyes.
It was a bright day, and the brightly lit imperial study room, but the eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dark veil, dark and deep, making people feel that the temperature in the room had dropped a bit.
"Where is Liuqing county magistrate now?"
Zhao Shangshu hurriedly said: "The county magistrate of Liuqing is currently living in a guild hall."
Emperor Yong'an looked at Zhao Shangshu with serious eyes.
Zhao Shangshu climbed up the coolness on his back, bowed and said: "I have sent someone to watch it, and I haven't tried to scare the snake for the time being."
Emperor Yong'an nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "That guard is capricious, and his confession cannot be fully believed."
Zhao Shangshu's heart skipped a beat.
The meaning of the emperor, or do you believe in Liuqing county magistrate?
The emperor is not used to trusting a person so much.
While thinking about it, Emperor Yong'an said slowly: "The merchant who exposed the guards of the Zhennan Palace is already on his way to Beijing. Don't move at Liuqing County Magistrate. We will talk about it after the interrogation."
"Follow the order." Zhao Shangshu bowed deeply.
Emperor Yong'an glanced at Zhao Shangshu, and seemed to mention it casually: "By the way, how is Luo Chi now?"
"Reporting to the emperor, Governor Luo was in a daze for most of the time in prison, but his physical condition is fine..."
Emperor Yong'an didn't ask any more questions, but waved his hands and said, "Back off."
"The minister resigns."
As Zhao Shangshu retreated, the imperial study room became extremely quiet.
I don't know how long it has passed, but there is not much warmth in the voice: "Zhou Shan."
"Arrange someone to ask Kaiyang King about his situation."
"yes."
In Xianyunyuan, Kouer was reporting the situation to Luo Sheng: "Girl, we are watching the news from the people in the Rand Guild Hall, saying that someone else is watching there."
"When did it start?"
"It's today."
Luo Sheng thought for a while, then bent his lips and smiled: "Tell our people to be careful, don't be discovered by the other party."
"Girl, what is the purpose of those people?" Seeing Luo Sheng laughing, Ko'er was confused for a moment.
Surveillance of individuals, how come there are still business snatchers?
Speaking of this, I have to mention the origin of Kerr's eyeliner.
Luo Sheng saw that Kouer had an outstanding talent in inquiring about news, and felt that it should not be wasted, so he threw out a stack of bank notes and asked Kouer to torment the team.
Kuer focused on the beggars all over the capital, and quietly picked out a lot of clever ones, and after a while, they became more and more handy.
Luo Sheng's smile deepened: "No matter what the purpose is, it's a good thing."
Land Guild Hall is the place where Liuqing county magistrate stayed temporarily after entering Beijing. She has been sending people to watch her, and suddenly someone is spying on her. It can be seen that the turning point she has been waiting for has arrived.
If the guess is correct, the emperor has already heard the news that the guards of the Zhennan Palace have changed their tune, and Governor Luo may be released from prison in a short time.
A suspicious emperor is not easy to serve, but he can make good use of this suspicion, but he can make a bright future when the situation is at an end.
The waiting time always becomes extremely long, not only Luo Sheng thinks it is long, but also Wei Qiang.
He hasn't been out of the palace for several days, except to pay respects to Emperor Yong'an every day, he just sits in the study and reads.
Under the calmness, there was unspeakable anxiety.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and when the yamen are about to be sealed, why is it that the crimes of Governor Luo have not been settled?
It is because that person's mind is too deep, so that he can't see through the thoughts in his heart.
That aggrieved feeling reappeared.
In this cold East Palace, he doesn't even have a single person to talk to.
Pingnan Palace will not be mentioned, the status of adoptive is too embarrassing, and close contacts there will only make the father dissatisfied with him.
The Yue family is not capable either.
Thinking about the princess's natal family, Wei Qiang sneered.
The crown princess was chosen by the emperor, after all, he didn't want him to get any support from the Yue family.
Father needs a prince to stabilize the country and the people of the Zhou Dynasty, but at the same time does not allow the prince to threaten his power.
He, the prince, is just the most expensive decoration.
However, Governor Luo was caught in the turmoil twelve years ago, and wanting to turn over is tantamount to a dream.
Wei Qiang comforted himself in this way, and walked out of the study to a concubine.
The New Year's Eve is getting closer, and most officials have lost their minds about doing things, and just wait for the official seal to go home for the New Year.
Any important figure can celebrate the new year without any important person, not to mention that the commander of Jinlinwei is doing this job with his head in his head, and almost none of them can die well.
I don’t know whether the head of Governor Luo fell off a year ago or a year later.
Maybe the emperor wants to keep it for another year.
Emperor Yong'an was not in the mood to celebrate the New Year, but had been waiting for news from outside.
His patience is undoubtedly much better, except for the confidant **** Zhou Shan, no one noticed the emperor's strangeness.
On this day, Wei Han quietly entered the palace and reported the interrogation of the merchants to Emperor Yong'an.
"That merchant has long been in contact with the magistrate of Liuqing County?" Emperor Yong'an's face was gloomy, rolling like a dark cloud.
That is to say, it wasn't the merchant who accidentally discovered the guard and reported it, but the county magistrate Liuqing contributed to the incident.
After a long time, Emperor Yong'an said slowly, "Zhou Shan."
"The servant is here."
"Bring Luo Chi to see me."
