"Are you sure you want to put it here?" Duan Chuiwen raised his eyes, and after receiving a look of affirmation, he nodded slightly and picked up the sunspot, "The case is complicated and unprofitable. The Duke of Qi has no real power. If you find the person, you can only thank him, but you can't find him.
If you touch someone, you will be pressured and held accountable by many parties, and you may even be resented.”
"Well, the idea is clear, what are you going to do next?"
"In the eyes of students, there is only the truth."
As the words fell, the sunspot also fell.
"Teacher, I agree."
Duan Chuiwen stood up, took the files and edicts, and walked out.
"Huh? No, what's going on? Just now -"
"Just now, I gave up one son." The man who walked to the door suddenly turned around and added respectfully.
"..."
Brat, what a...
The old man blew his beard and stared for a long time. He didn't know what he thought of, but he suddenly laughed again and murmured to himself: "This energy is quite similar to when I was young, hehehe..."
The happy laughter still echoed in my ears.
Xie Minzong is also ready to help clean up the mess.
But he didn't expect that this time his proud disciple would be so bold.
"What did you say? You want to arrest the prince?!"
Facing the other party's shocked gaze, Duan Chuiwen said calmly: "Based on the current evidence, the prince is highly suspected, but it does not constitute an arrest. He is just brought back for interrogation first."
"That's it?" Xie Minzong took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Cuiwen, I won't be able to sit in this seat for long. I shouldn't need to explain some things clearly. You are a smart man and excellent in all aspects.
At one point, you don’t understand officialdom. Although you are ordered to handle the case, he is the prince. He will be offended by mere suspicion. What does it do to you——"
"Article 8 of the "Daxia Code" states that before the law, the prince and the common people should be treated equally."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into silence.
Outside the house, a group of detectives were hiding under the windowsill and eavesdropping.
"Brother Li, even if you get the approval, you...do you dare to go?"
Li Si was a little panicked, but he still patted his chest and said firmly: "There is nothing to be afraid of, we are handling the case impartially!"
After a few breaths of stalemate, Xie Minzong showed a helpless expression: "Have you thought about it?"
"Thank you, sir." Duan Chuiwen didn't say much, he just bowed and clasped his fists.
Stubborn.
I don't know if such a temperament is a blessing or a curse in today's government.
The old temple minister sighed heavily, hurriedly wrote a letter asking for help, and ordered people to rush to the palace.
That's all, if you can protect me for a while, it's a temporary thing.
"Lee Si."
"exist!"
Duan Chuiwen handed over the document, and after a few words of warning, he warned: "Be careful. If something unexpected happens, have someone come back immediately to deliver the message. Don't act rashly."
"yes!"
He stood in the courtyard, watching the group of people disappear through the gate, his eyebrows slightly raised.
At this time, low voices of discussion came to my ears.
"It's too whimsical. He actually asked the prince to come to our Dali Temple for trial..."
"Having solved a few cases and been praised a few times, do you really think you are a big shot..."
"I'm eager for quick success. I think it's going to cause a big mess one day and involve all the officials in the temple. It's better to follow Fang Shaoqing and stay safe..."
Duan Chuiwen did not continue to listen and turned around to head to the main pavilion.
Of course he knew that it was impossible for Xia Houzhi to come, but he had to take the steps that needed to be taken.
Besides, sometimes, not cooperating can actually be beneficial.
Everyone at Dali Temple, including Duan Chuiwen himself, was certain that Li Si and others would probably return without success.
It can even be said that returning safely is already the best result.
However, half an hour later, a luxurious chariot stopped at the intersection.
The gauze curtain was lifted, and a young man with a jade crown in his hair walked down the stairs. The sun shone on the black robe, and the golden light of the five-clawed chi dragon made the jade-like face shine brightly.
