"Damn! Three people died for three days in a row! Are you fooling me as a fool!"
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty opened a morning court very abnormally, and called Baiguan into the hall to scold him.
The reason is because another official died last night. The one who died was the same as the previous two, and he was also a little official who was obscure. He also had a slender and smooth sword wound on his neck.
The death of three officials for three consecutive days was not a big blow to the court's face, and what was even more serious was that it was unknown who brought this matter to Emperor Ling of Han.
Han Lingdi was really angry about this. The positions of the three small officials were all bought from him, but they all died before they sat down for a long time. It is easy for people to suspect that Emperor Han Ling took the money to do black affairs and deliberately let people they killed.
He is a trustworthy person, especially when it comes to money. Since the money is paid, it is yours. As long as you pay the money on time, no one will drive you away.
But you're dead now, still inexplicably dead. If this matter is not clear, it will be a great blow to his reputation as Emperor Han Ling, and it is very likely that it will also affect his purchase transaction...
"Liu Tingwei, tell me, have you found the murderer?" Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Han Ling directly called the name of an official.
Tingwei in the Han Dynasty was equivalent to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple in the Tang and Song Dynasties, who were specially responsible for handling cases.
"This..." Liu Tingwei, who was named, stood up tremblingly, a pea-sized cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Go back to Your Majesty, there are some clues..."
"Since there are clues, let's talk about it!" Han Lingdi said impatiently.
"The murderer should be the same person, and he is good at using swords..."
"Well, then what?"
"Just, that's all..." Liu Tingwei stammered back, and many people in the court cast gloating glances at him.
Emperor Ling of Han jumped his index finger, suppressing his inner anger, looked at Liu Tingwei below with a smile, and said.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I dare not!"
With a "pop", Liu Tingwei knelt directly on the ground, cold sweat soaking his inner shirt instantly.
"Don't you dare?" Emperor Ling of Han slammed the dragon chair and said angrily: "After all three people died, you can find out such a thing for me! Are you a fool or do you take me for a fool?"
"I beg your majesty to spare your life! It's the minister who is not doing well, please spare your majesty!"
Looking at Liu Tingwei who slammed his head on the ground, Jiang Yu looked at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart.
There are two words that apply very well at this time. The first is called silence is gold, and the second is called calamity out of the mouth.
Jiang Yu didn't want to bring the fire to himself.
Sometimes, however, the fire actually burns itself.
"Jiang Shangshu ordered you to talk."
Ignoring Liu Tingwei, Emperor Ling of Han caught a glimpse of Jiang Yu, who was like a wooden bodhisattva, and asked, "People died on your desk, what do you think?"
Yes, the third person died in Mingguang Hall, that is, his Shangshutai, and that person Jiang Yu also knew, Shangshu Zuofu shot Li Guang!
Jiang Yu calmly brushed up his sleeves, got up and replied, "Go back to your majesty, Li Guang was already dead when the minister arrived at the Mingguang Palace, so the minister...don't know anything."
He really didn't know that even Li Guang's death was told to him by Liu Yuexue. However, Emperor Han Ling obviously did not intend to let him go.
"I don't know?" The corners of Emperor Han Ling's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Jiang Yu playfully: "People died on your desk, how could you not know?"
Jiang Yu was stunned, what kind of logic do you have? When I die here I have to know? I also said that people died in your court, why don't you know?
"Go back to Your Majesty, this matter..."
"Okay, someone died on the Shangshu Terrace, and Jiang Shangshu is to blame. I will punish you... Temporarily relocate Tingwei, who is in charge of investigating this case, and be sure to give me an explanation. As for Liu Tingwei, just Let's go home and sleep for two days for now... Okay, retreat!"
Without giving Jiang Yu any chance at all, Emperor Han Ling turned around and left, leaving Jiang Yu stunned in place.
I wipe the emperor, you have a hole in your brain, right? Die here with me, is it to blame? Temporarily move Tingwei to investigate the case? Did you do this on purpose?
"Congratulations from Jiang Shangshuling." Chu Feng stood up and patted Jiang Yu's shoulder: "You have been promoted, and this time you will go directly to Jiuqing."
"I'll give you a hammer." Chu Feng rolled his eyes and Jiang Yu turned to leave.
There is good and bad about this. Emperor Ling of Han deliberately threw the case to him. If he did it well, everyone would be happy. But if he doesn't do well, he can only laugh at that time. The court has never lacked people who fell in love...
"So...you came to me?"
In the drunk flower building, Diao Ling smiled and listened to Jiang Yu's words, the wine glass in his hand swayed.
"That's right." Jiang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Only you can help me in this matter."
Before he came, he had read the case file, and he was completely writing it!
There is absolutely no accurate statement and evidence to support this statement, and it means that there is no progress!
In desperation, Jiang Yu had no choice but to come to Diao Ling, the proprietress of the Drunk Flower House with her hands and eyes.
"You really found the right person for this." Diao Ling put down the wine glass and smiled at Jiang Yu: "About those three people...including the one who died at Shangshutai last night, he is also Zhang Rang's person."
Jiang Yu was a little surprised, Li Guang was also Zhang Rang's person? The old eunuch's eyeliner is really everywhere.
After taking a sip of wine, Diao Ling continued: "Not only that, they have one thing in common."
"What in common?"
"They were brothers before they entered the dynasty, sworn brothers on the rivers and lakes."
"Jianghu sworn?" Jiang Yu frowned slightly and tapped his index finger on the table: "Is it really Jianghu seeking revenge?"
"How do I know." Diao Ling smiled lightly, and handed a piece of paper to Jiang Yu along with the wine glass in his hand: "Hey! There is some information here, you can take it back and see for yourself..."
Jiang Yu put down the paper, raised the glass and drank it, got up and said, "Thank you, if it's all right..."
"Wait." Diao Ling suddenly stopped Jiang Yu and asked, leaning on the steps, "I heard that you are getting married?"
"That's right..." Jiang Yu frowned, being forced to marry should be considered marriage...
Diao Ling took out a few land deeds from under the table and handed them to Jiang Yu: "This marriage is a major event. I heard that the other party is the daughter of the Yuan family. Even if it is the emperor's personal instructions, this dowry is still indispensable. These few You hold the title deed, it will be useful..."
"Okay." Jiang Yu took the title deeds without hesitation.
"Very good..." Diao Ling smiled slightly: "So see you tomorrow?"
"See you tomorrow."
