Seeing Jiajing looking at him, Huang Jin knew that Jiajing was just saying angry words and actually had no intention of doing anything to Guo Jun.
"Long live, it's no wonder that Guo Jun is responsible for this. He is a cautious person. Although he has not made any great achievements in the position of Shuntian Prefecture, he has not made any big mistakes. He relies on this caution.
The case involved the Yan Mansion, which was beyond his ability. What he said was just to show his attitude. If Long live the decree is still handled by him, he will definitely be ill and try the case. "
Jiajing nodded. Huang Jin usually cherished words like gold, but he said so many words at this time because he knew that Jiajing needed someone to praise him at this time.
Huang Jin's words were actually meant for Jiajing. Jiajing wanted to express that although he agreed with Guo Jun's plan, he definitely did not believe that this guy was really sick.
Even in front of the people closest to them, they must always maintain their wise image. In this regard, Jiajing and Yan Shifan are actually very similar.
That's why Xiao Feng is worried that if Jiajing's abnormal attitude towards men and women is not reversed, sooner or later these two guys will resonate on the same frequency.
"Guo Jun recommended Xiao Feng to temporarily replace Shuntian Prefecture Yin to hear the case. What do you think?"
This time it was not a hint of flattery, but a serious request for advice. Huang Jin suddenly became much more nervous than before. He thought for a long time before speaking with extreme caution.
"Long live, if we talk about the ability to solve cases, from the previous case of the female corpse in the dry well, we can see that Xiao Feng is indeed a good candidate. However... there is a conflict between Xiao Feng and the Yan family, do they need to be avoided?"
Huang Jin said that Xiao Feng and Yan Fu had conflicts, which was an understatement. The real situation is that if there was a chance, both sides would destroy each other without hesitation.
Jiajing's eyes turned to the wooden man Xu Jie. Xu Jie said nothing since entering the house and tried his best to stay out of the incident.
"Xu Aiqing, what do you think?"
Although Xu Jie was known as "Xu Fuyi" and had no sense of presence in the cabinet, he was still the second assistant, and Jiajing knew that he had abilities. Yan Song was not around at this time, so he just wanted to see if "Xu Secondary", who could not second the proposal this time, would forget the ability to speak alone.
"I think Xiao Feng can investigate this case."
Jiajing leaned back slightly, his face was calm, and he closed his eyes slightly.
"Don't you need to avoid it?"
"Long live, I'm saying that Xiao Feng's ability can investigate this case. As for whether he needs to avoid it, it depends on the Yan Mansion's intention.
There is a conflict between Xiao Feng and Yan Mansion, but it is just a rumor and there is no real evidence. If the Yan Mansion cares, then they need to avoid it. If the Yan Mansion doesn't mind, the court takes the initiative to ask Xiao Feng to avoid it. Instead, it confirms the conflict between the two and only allows the public to discuss it. "
This is very well said. Why don't Xiao Feng evade and let Yan Mansion express his position? What's the need for us to just eat carrots and worry about it here?
Jiajing's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile: "Xu Aiqing's words make sense. Then take Guo Jun's note back to Yan Aiqing, and just say it's a trivial matter, and I won't care about it, just let him handle it."
Xu Jie held the memorial and left again, bowing his head slightly as when he came, but Jiajing's eyes stared at his back for a long time.
Yan Song took this brochure that he had actually seen a long time ago, pretended to read it carefully again, and then moved his eyes to Xu Jie's humble face.
"Brother Xu, what's the reason for transferring the book to me?"
With a flattering smile on his face, Xu Jie described the whole process word for word. Yan Song was stunned for a long time before his face darkened.
"Brother Xu, aren't you putting me on the fire? You have already done this. If I ask Xiao Feng to avoid it, wouldn't it be unbecoming of a prime minister? What do you mean?"
Xu Jie's smiling face turned into astonishment: "My lord, this official has good intentions! He is wholeheartedly seeking benefit for your lord!"
Yan Song looked at him coldly: "Oh? You should tell me, where does the good come from?"
Xu Jie looked at Yan Song aggrievedly: "My lord, I am in the cabinet with you, and only your Majesty always follows your lead. The officialdom and the people call your subordinates 'Xu Fuyi', you know this!"
Yan Song looked gentle and nodded, but still waited for Xu Jie's explanation.
"Long Live naturally knows this very well. If the subordinate asks Xiao Feng to avoid it, what will Long Live think? He will definitely think it is the Lord's intention!"
Yan Song was silent for a moment and nodded slowly. What Xu Jie said made sense. However, this can only be regarded as harmless, and cannot be said to be beneficial.
"You can just keep silent and just say long live the decision as usual! Why bother throwing this hot potato back to me?"
Xu Jie's beard was trembling, and he looked like he had been greatly wronged, as if he was possessed by Uncle Li: I originally put my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!
"Sir, think about it, this is a murder case! If the impact is not big, then the big thing can be reduced to a trivial matter, and the trivial matter can be reduced to nothing.
But this woman died in a bustling main street, under the clear sky and in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, how could it be possible to let the matter go unanswered?
Guo Jun was smart and pretended to be sick to hide. But this case must be investigated after all, whether it is Shuntian Mansion or the Ministry of Punishment, the results must be found. Shuntian Prefecture has taken over the case, and Long Live will not order it to be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment.
If Long Live orders Guo Jun to examine the case while he is ill, it is equivalent to giving an imperial edict to Guo Jun: I know you are afraid, but you don’t have to be afraid, just investigate!
Guo Jun had worked with Xiaguan before, and he was the most gentle person on the outside but strong on the inside. He would hide if he could, but if he couldn't, he really wasn't a person who bent the law for personal gain.
Moreover, Guo Jun is not an idiot. When he was a local official, he was also known as 'Guo Qingtian'. Of course, you know it well. He was able to become the governor of Shuntian not just by pretending to be stupid!
Therefore, the only thing I can say is that Long Live will not care about this matter, but will give the initiative back to the adults. There is a big difference between the initiative in this matter being in the hands of Banzai and in the hands of adults! "
Yan Song nodded repeatedly. He recognized Xu Jie's point of view, but he still had some doubts.
"Although the initiative is back in my hands, I can't let Xiao Feng avoid it."
"My lord, why do you need to let Xiao Feng avoid it? My lord lets Xiao Feng review the case, firstly to show your lordship's generosity, and secondly to show that the Yan family has a clear conscience.
If Xiao Feng gets to the end of the investigation and cannot solve this headless case, then his halo as a real person will plummet, and his weight in Wan Sui's heart will also be reduced.
If Xiao Feng solves the case, but the result has nothing to do with the Yan Mansion, then although Xiao Feng can keep his reputation, the Yan Mansion's reputation will be even greater. How can the Zaifeng's ambition be comparable to Xiao Xiao's?
The worst outcome is that Xiao Feng solved the case, and it is indeed related to the Yan Mansion..."
Speaking of this, Xu Jie glanced at Yan Song with a guilty look, which meant: Sir, is this really the fault of your Yan family?
Yan Song was noncommittal: "Take it, what if Xiao Feng solves the case and it is indeed related to the Yan Mansion?"
"Then the foreshadowing laid at this time is even more important. If Guo Jun finds out, Long Live will definitely believe it; but if Xiao Feng finds out, then Long Live will have to think about how true or false this matter is!"
Yan Song was finally convinced by Xu Jie. His frozen face was like ice breaking, and the spring breeze gradually blew over, and he patted Xu Jie's shoulder affectionately.
"Brother Xu, I appreciate your kindness! When I get old, I will definitely recommend me to take the position of chief assistant!"
Xu Jie quickly bent down to express his thanks, bending even deeper than usual, almost burying his entire face.
Yan Song immediately wrote and issued an order in the name of the cabinet to approve Guo Jun's plan and implement it immediately.
After finishing this matter, Yan Song still had something on his mind, so he left the rest to Xu Jie and went home early.
After entering the house, before I could even sit down, the housekeeper came up to me and handed me a sealed piece of paper. Yan Song tore open the seal and took out a piece of paper.
There was only one meaningless sentence on the paper, but it was enough for Yan Song to understand.
"When I ask the question, Xiao Feng needs to avoid suspicion. The Yan family should decide on the question."
Yan Song smiled and nodded, throwing the paper into the brazier and burning it. If Xu Jie hadn't taken the initiative to say these things in the cabinet, this piece of paper would have been enough to kill Xu Jie.
Yan Song asked someone to find Yan Shifan, and the first thing he said was:
"Since you don't want to send those women away, you should be more cautious! Didn't you say there would be no mistakes? How could one of them escape?
Now Long Live lets Xiao Feng investigate the case. What should we do if anything is found? "
Yan Shifan had just drank wine, his face was flushed with wine, and his one eye was flickering and unpredictable.
"Father, now that the matter has been resolved, I'm afraid it will be of no use, but I want to see what Xiao Feng can do to me!"
Yan Song couldn't help but sigh when he saw his son's nonchalant look.
"Donglou, things are different now. You are not yet an official. You are about to attend the Spring Festival. Anything that happens will be detrimental to you.
Be patient, be patient until after spring, as long as you are in high school, Long Live will definitely reinstate your official position, and you may even be promoted! "
Yan Shifan agreed perfunctorily to his father and returned to his room. He squinted his eyes and looked at the two beauties standing in the middle of the room. They were both tall, slim and plump.
Slender and plump, these two words are very strange to use together, but these two sisters have achieved a wonderful unity. No literati who sees these two sisters can say that the combination of the words is wrong.
Similar to the Eight-foot Lady that people in later generations talked about.
Yan Shifan sat down and poured a glass of wine.
"Why couldn't I kill her with one needle?"
Some people died, but not completely...
