Imperial City Division.
Yang Wuhui woke up and was sitting on a chair. In front of him, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, Gu Jieqing, was looking at Yang Wuhui with a half-smile.
Gu Jieqing wanted to catch the look of fear on Yang Wuhui's face, but unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Then he became playful and said to Yang Wuhui, "Do you know where this place is?"
Yang Wuhui showed a calm smile and replied: "If my guess is correct, this is the prison of the Imperial City Division, right?"
Gu Jieqing stood up and played with the torture tools on the side.
Then he picked up a whip and said: "The Imperial City Division has eighteen kinds of prison punishments. People who come here, even if they are immortal, have to shed a layer of skin before they can get out."
Yang Wuhui rubbed his head and said calmly: "Although the Imperial City Division is a place that everyone is afraid of, as for me, I am open-minded and naturally I will not be afraid of Deputy Governor Gu using these instruments of torture on me. . It’s better to just say what Vice-Envoy Gu wants to do.”
Gu Jieqing praised: "As expected of Yang Wuhui, worthy of being a disciple of Bao Gong, he is extremely courageous and extremely smart. In this case, I will tell you directly, I want all the clues you can get, and the clues you can find later. , I also hope you can share it with me, and I will also give you my discovery."
Yang Wuhui thought for a moment and nodded.
"It's a good proposal, and it can be considered mutually beneficial. It's a deal!"
Then Yang Wuhui told Gu Jieqing exactly what he discovered yesterday.
Gu Jieqing looked at Yang Wuhui in disbelief: "You solved this secret room case just by relying on a bit of tile ashes on the ground?"
Yang Wuhui smiled and said: "Many people think that the secret room case is the most difficult, but in my opinion it is the simplest. The reason why the secret room is a secret room is because the murderer used methods that ordinary people would not think of to commit the crime, so we treat the murderer as If you try to figure it out from another angle, it will be easy to crack. So, although I cracked the secret room, I have never found out who the murderer is!"
Then Yang Wuhui said again: "Deputy Ambassador Gu, now it's your turn to share your findings."
Gu Jieqing said calmly: "I knew from the beginning that Mr. Lan was not the murderer. The murderer was someone else, and there was even an instigator behind it. And the power of this person is beyond imagination."
Yang Wuhui was stunned: "Is it gone now?"
Gu Jieqing understood what Yang Wuhui meant and explained: "Imperial City Division is not good at investigating cases. It's just that the person who got into trouble this time was Lan Youzhi, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so we, the Imperial City Division, chose to intervene. .Being able to deduce these is already the limit of my personal ability."
Yang Wuhui looked at Gu Jieqing in confusion. He felt that he had been tricked by the person in front of him.
It's not that Gu Jieqing is very smart, it's that he is too smart, which leads to his cleverness being mistaken for his cleverness.
Gu Jieqing also seemed to feel a little embarrassed and said: "Although my information is indeed not as important as the information you gave me, some things can be inferred from the clues you just gave. For example, although the murderer is not a child, he may be a dwarf. There are many spies in our Imperial City Department, and I will ask my people to check for people who meet this status. Once there is news, I will tell you immediately, what do you think?"
Yang Wuhui was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Gu Jieqing's words just now reminded Yang Wuhui that if the murderer was not a normal male, then he was most likely a dwarf.
The dwarf is also an adult man, but has the body shape of a child.
If it was a dwarf who committed the murder, everything would make sense.
Yang Wuhui also said: "There is one more thing that requires Deputy Ambassador Gu to personally take action, maybe we can find out clearly!"
Gu Jieqing looked at Yang Wuhui in surprise: "Please tell me!"
Yang Wuhui said: "The deceased was a male prostitute at the Longyang Pavilion, so I hope that Vice Envoy Gu can go to the Longyang Pavilion to investigate. It will not be a high-profile investigation like before, but a secret investigation. Including the background of this male prostitute. , and relationships and things like that.”
Gu Jieqing hesitated, but finally agreed.
When Yang Wuhui left, Gu Jieqing also handed over the case of their Imperial City Division to Yang Wuhui.
The Imperial City Division's case report was even more detailed than the one Yang Wuhui had obtained before, and even included an inquiry about Lan Youzhi.
But now he has to rush to meet Xin Zhiji and meet Mr. Lan in the prison of Dali Temple.
When the time comes, the questions and answers from the Imperial City Division can be used as evidence.
Because no one would have thought that people from the Imperial City Division would actually cooperate with Yang Wuhui.
After Yang Wuhui left the Imperial City Division, Gu Jieqing said: "He, Yang Wuhui, is the only person who can leave the Imperial City Division unharmed."
Behind Gu Jieqing, a man who was almost fifty years old appeared. His eyes were a little gloomy and the expression on his face was extremely awkward.
He looked at the direction Yang Wuhui left and said, "Imperial City Division is not a place that eats people. As long as he can let us catch the big fish that wronged Minister Lan this time, so what if I send him out personally!"
This person's name is Shen Yi, the commander of the Imperial City Division, and he is in the fourth rank.
Although this person is not as well-known outside as Gu Jieqing, only those who know him will understand his ambition and ruthless methods.
Even Gu Jieqing, known to outsiders as the Living King of Hell, admired Shen Yi, the boss of the Imperial City Division.
Yang Wuhui didn't know that Shen Yi was listening or even witnessing all this.
If I knew, I'm afraid I would think more.
But the Imperial City Division seeks cooperation with him. Although there is mutual benefit, it can also be seen that the Imperial City Division is now fighting for power.
Now the Imperial City Division wants to have a hand in everything. The Imperial City Division was originally established during the Taizu period. Although it was not called the Imperial City Division at that time, the Imperial City Division at that time was only responsible for supervising the officials and protecting the safety of the palace.
Today's Imperial City Division has become a place that even dogs despise.
Although the people were afraid of the Imperial City Division, they also cursed in their hearts that this was a place where a bunch of mad dogs were kept.
To put it bluntly, the people in the Imperial City Division now want to take advantage of the fact that the Holy Emperor has just ascended the throne and take over more rights within the allowed range, because at this time, the officials still trust the Imperial City Division very much, and maybe the Imperial City Division will still can become the most important force in the hands of officials.
Yang Wuhui did not hire a carriage to go to Dali Temple, and it took the Imperial City Secretary not even half an hour to reach Dali Temple.
When he arrived at Dali Temple, Xin Zhiji was already waiting at the entrance of Dali Temple.
Yang Wuhui was a little surprised that Zhan Yirong didn't come.
It's really surprising that someone like her who likes to join in the fun didn't show up.
In fact, it wasn't that Zhan Yirong didn't want to come, it was her emperor uncle and empress aunt who insisted on dragging her to have a family dinner together.
Zhan Yirong could not refuse this.
After all, we haven't seen each other for a while, so it's only natural that we have a meal together.
Just at the dinner table between three people, Queen Gao Taotao began to talk about marriage for Zhan Yirong.
After all, Zhan Yirong is not young at all. The children of an older royal princess or princess like her are already very old.
