What?
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the courtiers could not help but change.
Lin Bai was also startled.
What do you mean? Let yourself check?
"How can this be done? Lin Qingfeng is the southwest king of Li Dynasty. This is a matter of our Wu Dynasty, and it concerns the late emperor. How can we leave it to an outsider?"
"That's right! What the Second Prince said is indeed inappropriate."
"That's not necessarily true. Although Lin Qingfeng is the southwest king of Li Dynasty, he is also the consort of the third princess. There is nothing wrong with him conducting a thorough investigation."
"I also agree that it may be better but not necessarily better for the authorities to be obsessed with it."
"..."
The ministers of the Wu Dynasty discussed a lot, some opposed and some supported, and both sides held their own opinions.
The talented man was confused. What kind of medicine was sold in Gu Qianmo's gourd? Did he really have nothing to do with the matter? Otherwise, why be so confident?
Wang Chengtai also frowned slightly at this time and glanced at Gu Qianmo and Gu Qiankuang with a hint of doubt.
Gu Qiankuang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Gu Qianmo added: "The reason why this prince made this proposal is because Lin Qingfeng has outstanding abilities and the Southwest King is famous. With his ability, I believe that he will be able to get to the bottom of the matter."
"And he is the consort of the third princess, and the late emperor is also his father, so he is not an outsider."
"Moreover, he has nothing to do with all forces and will definitely be impartial and selfless."
This was quite beautifully said, and many ministers nodded in agreement.
Prince Gong glanced at Lin Bai and nodded subconsciously, then looked at Gu Qiankuang and asked, "What do the fourth princes think?"
Gu Qiankuang's eyes flashed, and he immediately said: "I also support Lin Qingfeng to conduct a thorough investigation."
Lin Bai really didn't expect that this bad thing would actually happen to him.
Yesterday, he and Gu Ling'er planned to take it by force.
Because I have to wash my mother and concubine.
As a result, the little noble son suddenly appeared, and the mother-in-law's suspicion was greatly reduced, so she gave up.
But today, the situation was completely reversed, and Gu Qianmo actually took the initiative to find him.
What does this mean, let yourself take the initiative? Then the mother-in-law will naturally be fine?
Or is it Gu Qianmo’s sincerity?
But at this moment, the talented man was no longer interested, because this was just a fire bed.
Gu Qianchen couldn't hold it anymore. Was he going to push himself into the hot bed?
Moreover, there is no end to this case at all. When the investigation is almost complete, both parties will inevitably take action. When the time comes, you will be caught in the middle, and you will definitely be different from the outside.
However, Gu Ling'er was obviously very confident in her husband's ability, because he analyzed the case clearly through just clues. She believed that her husband would be able to get to the bottom of the case.
So at this moment, I looked at my husband expectantly.
Prince Gong also looked at him and said, "Lin Qingfeng, are you willing to investigate this case thoroughly?"
The great talent said to himself, can I say that I don’t want to?
But after glancing at his wife, he refused to say the words that came to his lips.
never mind! For the sake of my wife, I should find out the cause of my father-in-law's death, not to mention that it concerns my own mother and concubine.
However, if there is a pot, you cannot carry it alone.
He immediately said: "I have said before that even if the imperial guards do not investigate the case, I will find out the real culprit to comfort my father's spirit in heaven."
"Since the second prince and the fourth prince have recommended me, I am willing to give it my best try."
"But I know nothing about this case, so I need a deputy. I wonder if the Sixth Prince can assist me?"
The talented man looked at Gu Qianchen with a smile.
Since everyone has asked you to take the blame, you must be the one to take the blame.
Gu Qianchen's face stiffened, and he obviously didn't understand the great talent's intention. Under such circumstances, it was really hard for him to refuse, so he had to say: "I, the prince, will give my full cooperation."
"good!"
Prince Gong said, "Then the matter is settled."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Chengtai again and said, "Does the Prime Minister have any objections?"
Wang Chengtai glanced at the talented man meaningfully and said, "I have no objection. The King of Southwest is the most talented man in the world, and I am also looking forward to it."
The three princes nodded, Prince Gong and Wang Chengtai approved, and the other officials naturally had no objections.
But at this time, Prince Gong said again, "Because it is related to Chu Jingmeng, although the suspicion has become smaller now, in order to avoid suspicion, during the investigation, I felt that the Southwest King should not see Chu Jingmeng. The Southwest King thought that Woolen cloth?"
your sister!
I thought that after taking charge of the case, I could see my mother and concubine and ask questions, but the result was good...
But this request is not too much, after all, the mother-in-law is still one of the suspects.
Although the suspicion is lessened, there is still suspicion.
Lin Bai had no choice but to say: "Yes! Prince Yigong is the one."
After the matter is settled, it is time to hand over the case.
Wang Chengtai mainly handles government affairs with officials.
Prince Gong is preparing for the funeral of the late emperor and matters in the palace.
Gu Qianchen, a good-for-nothing, only wanted to close the case as soon as possible, so he rushed in without knowing how active he was. It was originally Wu Sanshui's business, and he took over most of it.
Who doesn't like such a good scapegoat?
So naturally, everyone regarded him as the scapegoat.
Judging from this point alone, there is still a tacit understanding between the great talent and others.
"All the files are here."
Compared with before, Gu Qianchen is obviously much more honest, and he naturally knows how to restrain himself after suffering a few losses.
And now that the talented man is in charge of the case, he has to be careful. If he is found on his head, it will be the end of him.
Lin Bai hummed and ignored him while reading the file.
Just looking at the files, this case is very simple.
Probably passing by, a guard heard a cry for help coming from the imperial study room. He rushed to the imperial study room and found the late emperor lying in front of the imperial desk. His mother and concubine were beside him, and it was his mother and concubine who called for help.
Later, Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch, and Wu Sanshui, the commander of the bodyguards, arrived first and ordered people to immediately find Dr. Sun. Because Dr. Sun was in the palace, they arrived quickly, but it was still too late. By then, the late emperor had already died. Angry.
Afterwards, Prince Gong and a group of princes also arrived one after another.
The palace was immediately sealed off, and all eunuchs, maids, guards, etc. who might have come into contact with the late emperor were taken down.
My own mother-in-law was also detained at that time.
Judging from the file, the mother-in-law said nothing, only that the two were discussing matters when His Majesty suddenly vomited blood.
The Ouchi guards found nothing after sealing off the palace. They tortured all the palace maids and eunuchs and found no clues. It can be said that they have no clue at all! Therefore, the mother-in-law at the scene and Dr. Sun, who was responsible for His Majesty's condition, became the two most important suspects.
Until Xiao Guizi appeared, but in the end, the clue was broken again.
So clean!
After reading it, Lin Bai only had this thought: the case was done too cleanly.
