The man sitting in the high hall put his forehead on his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and took a short rest.
As a department that supervises hundreds of officials, the East-West Factory has inherently complicated affairs. Coupled with the frequent occurrence of Daikin cases, which involve official cover-up, dereliction of duty, corruption and perversion of the law, there are endless incidents.
Sometimes there are too many cases accumulated. It's not that he doesn't want to deal with it, but that he really can't get out of it. Like the case of Liu Rushi's beheading a few days ago, although it was known that he was the murderer and not the deceased, a wanted notice was issued for this murderer.
It's been a long time, but there is no news.
I couldn't find what the informant called "Liu Rushi's personal maid"...
After a long while, Gu Yangjing slowly opened his eyes, and there were stars in his deep eyes.
Why bother clinging to that maid?
The maid Gu Lingze saw was Chu Wanyun, and the so-called scholar was actually Liu Rushi herself. The entrance and exit of Dajin City Gate was very strict, but the reason Liu Rushi was able to escape successfully was because he and the suspect on the wanted notice,
Even the genders are different!
How is it possible to find him?
Thinking about it, Gu Yangjing shook the bell on the table.
Not long after, a Dongchang eunuch walked in.
"Lord Governor, what are your orders?"
"Change the gender of Liu Rushi's wanted poster to a man..."
While Gu Yangjing was still giving instructions, another person walked into the main hall.
"Superintendent, the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent someone to inform us that the files on Liu Rushi's beheading case, the disappearance of the imperial concubine, the disappearance of the maid of the Chu Mansion, the soul-exchange case of the Chu Mansion, etc., should be forwarded to the capital together.
The Procuratorate will handle it.”
"..."
Seeing that Gu Yangjing was hesitant to speak, the young eunuch followed what he was saying from the bottom of his heart and continued, "Yes, Lord Superintendent. Just as you guessed, the Metropolitan Procuratorate had in-depth exchanges with Zhaoxuefang on these cases.
Now, all the cases have been solved."
"..."
The little eunuch's voice was thin and soft. Logically speaking, it should sound quite comfortable, but the content of his words was not only unpleasant, but also slightly harsh.
Gu Yangjing was silent for a while and said, "You all should go out first. I want to be alone."
And...and...and again!
What the hell is going on with this woman!
Gu Yangjing's solid materialist worldview was shaken a little: Is the legendary "metaphysical verdict" true...
Instead, Gu Yangjing shook his head and denied his thoughts.
It's a shame to be less skilled than others, but why should you develop everything into the mysterious? If you have time to study metaphysics, why not improve your case-solving skills?
So, Governor Gu, who had not read professional books for many years, dug out the books such as "Redress of Injustice", "Resolution of Injustice", "Suspicious Prison Affairs" and other books that had been gathering dust on the bookshelf, and then read them all night
All night long!
…
According to Shen Yingying's words, the Metropolitan Procuratorate revised the wanted notice, changed Liu Rushi's gender to male, and also drew a picture of what others described as how he looked when taking off his makeup.
Because Liu Rushi is the number one oiran in the Xiaoxiang Tower, and she always wears heavy makeup, and her face has lost her identity as a daughter, there will definitely be a difference.
Finally on the third day, I found Liu Rushi in a private school outside the city.
At that time, he had already assumed the identity of a man and became a teacher outside the city. However, the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not find what Yun Feiyan, the mysterious detective, said next to Liu Rushi, "a person with a beautiful face and possibly a recent...
A woman who was reported missing."
After all the agencies, it's hard to calculate the hearts of the people. Liu Rushi had no intention of "changing souls" for Chu Wanyun at all. He was just afraid of her because Chu Wanyun knew that she was a man.
As his desire for freedom deepened, he simply killed Chu Wanyun, the only woman in the world who knew the secret of Oiran Liu Rushi, and then beheaded her and abandoned her body, disguised as "Oiran Liu Rushi". In this way, he can regain true freedom.
Liu Rushi had long heard about Shen Yingying, a metaphysical figure who solved cases in the capital. In order to avoid being discovered by this "colleague", he specially chose July 7th to commit the crime when the ghost gate was open, and even confused the incident. At the scene, he believed that the other party was Daluo Jinxian, and he couldn't figure out the reason for right and wrong!
The world of mortals is extremely painful, and the most painful thing is that of an infatuated person. The originally flawless plan failed when Chu Wanyun was killed by her beloved husband. The hatred was too deep. She was actually caught in the soul-breaking curse that strangled three souls and seven souls. He still had a breath left and went to Shen Yingying to seek revenge.
The headless sister was Chu Wanyun herself. Although Shen Yingying could not figure out her identity, she could guess that this ghost was not a good person by virtue of her natural sense of mystery.
I didn't want to take care of this matter at first, but the headless sister is just too annoying!
Coupled with the fact that the golden boy Zi Yao revealed the list of missing princesses...for various reasons, by the time Shen Yingying looked back, she had already been forced to be involved in a series of cases.
The sealing technique at the crime scene could not escape Shen Yingying's discernment. In the end, Shen Yingying easily found Chu Wanyun's head and traced all the suspicions to Liu Rushi.
Seeing that the matter was about to be exposed, Liu Rushi simply used a cover-up trick, forged a head and threw it at Zhaoxuefang. He thought that as long as Shen Yingying recognized Liu Rushi's face, all the cases would end in "The murderer Liu" As such it is dead."
Who would have thought that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
Liu Rushi never expected that the blinding spell that he was most proud of in his life would be useless in front of this Master Tianzi Xuan whose profound power had been damaged!
If he had known this, he should not have provoked the mysterious detective several times. If he had not fought with Shen Yingying and just left all the way to the end of the world, the outcome would have been different.
However, these conjectures cannot be verified.
Thirteen miles from the capital, the Second Prince's Mansion.
At that time, the arrangements for weddings and weddings in the Second Prince's Mansion had not completely faded away. Shen Wuhe looked at the half-red and half-white decorations with mixed feelings in his heart.
On the one hand, he was secretly pleased with his daughter's intelligence, and soon saw through the fact that behind the gentleness and elegance of the second prince, he was actually vicious and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals. On the other hand, he was also worried about his own future.
If the second prince fails to become the crown prince, as a cadre under the second prince, he will definitely be uprooted by the new emperor.
But even if the second prince becomes emperor one day, given his scheming intentions, Lao He will probably end up with the tragic end of "the birds are gone and the bows are hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked".
It would be great if this was in modern times. If you are not satisfied with your boss, you will have to change the boss at the worst. In this turbulent ancient dynasty, you can change jobs, but you have to cut off your head first.
Forget it! It’s better to make plans early! When Lao He and I have saved enough money, I will take my daughter and hide incognito, escape to the south, settle down in a corner, and then father and daughter will start a journey of farming through time together!
Shen Wuhe thought, put his hands on his hips, and laughed out loud.
Smiling and laughing, he suddenly turned to dry coughing, and then touched his neck. It was so close that he almost choked to death.
"Ahem...Your Highness...Your Highness, why are you out here?"
Gu Xingchen's legs and feet are inconvenient, so he usually doesn't go out to meet guests unless it's important.
"Censor Shen helped us solve so many cases at once, how could we not welcome him personally?" Gu Xingchen smiled, his face as kind as a spring breeze.
Shen Wuhe smiled and said, "It is the duty of a humble minister to relieve His Highness."
When Gu Xingchen heard this, his beautiful eyebrows gathered slightly.
"It's a pity that this palace's worries are difficult to resolve."
"Your Highness, please make it clear."
"Has Yushi Shen read the list of three official cases?"
"...it's not too late yet."
"It doesn't matter, it's better not to watch."
Every mid-year, Daikin releases a list of official three-case cases. It summarizes the number of cases filed, solved, and closed by various departments in the past six months, and then compares it with the number of three-case cases in the entire DPRK. Finally, the three-case rate is obtained. That is, the number of cases in the three departments accounts for the number of cases in the whole court, and then the order is comprehensively ranked.
His Majesty once said that the prince with the highest three-case rate will be the future crown prince.
The list will be released in the middle of this year: 40% of the East-West Factory, 30% of the Dali Temple, 20% of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, 50% of the Criminal Department, and the remaining 50% are non-detective departments. If these non-detective departments can be "on the list", they can get a salary increase. With long salary, the main officials are expected to be promoted. Therefore, Daikin officials are all trying their best to figure out how to detect the case and get involved every day!
The 30% case rate of other departments changes frequently, but the ranking of the 3rd case rate of the major detective departments, which is related to the selection of the future crown prince, does not change at all.
"Is it possible that my great wealth is really going to be handed over to the fifth brother?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. Your Highness has the highest voice in the court now, and with General Chu following you, you will naturally get a lot of help."
In the 21st century, it is often said that the reason for a top student to score 100 points in the exam is because the test paper only has 100 points. Chu Zhonglang is a first-grade hussar general, that is because currently Daikin only has first-grade officers at most.
A few days ago, Chu Wanyun was buried at the funeral, with thousands of people paying homage to her. It can be seen that her popularity was so great, and with Chu Zhonglang's efforts to protect her, she still had a good chance of winning the position of crown prince.
Seeing that Gu Xingchen was silent, Shen Wuhe continued, "His Royal Highness Yangjing has a special status after all. There is absolutely no reason to be the crown prince."
In other words: If you choose him, the old Gu family will be in unparalleled power!
"You were in the Dongchang Dungeon some time ago. How did you feel?"
After Gu Xingchen said this, Shen Wuhe finally understood why Gu Laoer wanted him to go around the East Factory. It turned out to be to find out what Gu Yangjing had done.
"His Royal Highness Yangjing is not always so cold-blooded and unkind. He sent people to search the mansion several times, and after finding no problems with us, he released us from prison on the Ghost Festival. He still personally Dongchang, who sent us out, was very polite along the way."
When Shen Wuhe reported, he took away the matter of Gu Yangjing's gift.
"He has changed a lot in the past few years."
When I was so worldly in the past, I ignored everyone, regardless of whether I was an upright official or a coward. Now I actually want to please the upright official.
"It should be that His Highness's voice in the court is too loud, so the fifth prince should also reflect on it."
If you want to be the future prince, it is definitely not enough to fight alone.
Gu Xingchen's misty eyes flashed, "Censor Shen, in your opinion, if Yangjing really wants to be the crown prince, what should he do?"
After all, he is a rootless person. When an eunuch becomes an emperor, if he is not careful, he will become a laughing stock in history.
Shen Wuhe lowered his head and pursed his lips in silence.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Xingchen frowned.
"Don't dare to say? Then I will say it for you."
"As long as the other princes are dead, then he is the only choice."
Now that I think about it, I volunteered to join the West Factory at the age of sixteen for this purpose.
"Yingying may still complain that this palace abandoned her and chose Chu Wanyun, but there is nothing we can do."
Gu Xingchen felt that in order to eliminate other brothers, Gu Yangjing could join the West Factory and become the governor of the two factories. Then there was nothing to criticize him for choosing a political marriage in order to gain the support of important ministers in the court.
Shen Wuhe disagreed, but he didn't dare to say it openly.
In the afternoon, under the towering ancient trees, the master and his ministers looked at each other in silence.
I don't know how long it took, but Gu Xingchen remembered something.
"Can you tell Yingying that the cost of requesting Zhaoxuefang to investigate the case is less?"
In the morning, the accountant of the Metropolitan Procuratorate almost fainted after reading the expense list sent by Zhaoxuefang.
Shen Wuhe chuckled and said, "Wei Chen, try your best to help me with some favors."
…
Mingyue Restaurant.
The storyteller on the stage is eloquently telling the story of "The mysterious detective Yun Feiyan cleverly solved the Oiran case".
"Liu Rushi is Master Huangzi Xuan after all, how can he be willing to just surrender and capture him?"
"I saw that Yun Feiyan used a thunderbolt curse and a mantra to cure Liu Rushi."
"In prison, Liu Rushi was controlled by a talisman and kept pouring out the truth. Yun Feiyan was stunned to reveal the truth about an unsolved case on July 7th!"
"Okay! Well said!"
People listening to the story in the audience clapped their hands and applauded, and some even threw silver coins directly on the stage as a reward.
"As expected of Yun Feiyan! It's simply amazing!"
As soon as Shen Yingying stepped into the restaurant, she saw the bustling crowd, twitched her lips, turned around and walked out again.
This guy is in trouble if he is too popular.
Why are you talking about me everywhere you go? This is a storyteller in Daikin. Can't you change the protagonist?
Shen Yingying left the restaurant and suddenly heard shouting from upstairs.
"Yun Feiyan!"
Shen Yingying raised her head when she heard the sound, and happened to see a person on the second floor window sill. Against the light, she couldn't see her face clearly. She only felt that she was of medium height and looked like an ordinary person. The person was holding a bucket of dark red liquid in his hand.
"Wow——"
In an instant, all the red blood was splashed on Shen Yingying's body. This chapter has been completed!
