"It's been a few days since this happened, and the murderer hasn't been found yet. Could it be that he died of natural causes?" Magistrate Cen Yichun began to mutter to himself.
"Do you think this case needs to be handed over to the Criminal Department?" Master Liu asked.
Magistrate Cen thought for a moment: "For now, this is all we can do."
In the government office, the two of them kept discussing.
The wind gently blew through the treetops of Yanyang City, bringing coolness to the people of Yanyang City.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and there is no one in the streets and alleys of Yanyang City at this moment.
At this time, Cen Sheng, the housekeeper of the Sun Mansion, rushed into the Sun Mansion with a hurried expression.
"Master, Master!" Housekeeper Cen Sheng trotted all the way to Master Sun Zhicai's study.
After hearing the butler's voice, Mr. Sun Zhicai, who was immersed in a book, raised his head and said excitedly: "What's the matter?"
At this time, the butler Cen Sheng looked very unhappy and replied: "Sir, Master Liu has told you not to act without authorization."
Listening to the words of the housekeeper Cen Sheng, Mr. Sun Zhicai stood up and looked at the housekeeper Cen Sheng with a surprised look on his face: "How could it be so? Why didn't he take action after he said it? This is a rare opportunity. If Su Runchen really succeeds, If the murderer is found, there are also some officials in the court who support him. If the emperor knows about it, Su Runchen will be demoted or beheaded in the worst case. By then, Su Yunqi's prestige in the court will be much less."
Seeing that the master hoped so much, the housekeeper Cen Sheng followed what Mr. Liu said: "Sir, Mr. Liu said that the prince was wronged because of the cooperation between Su Yunqi and His Majesty today. Even so, the master can't bring it to justice. What's wrong with them?"
The words of the housekeeper Cen Sheng brought Master Sun Zhicai back to his senses. Sun Zhicai held his head with one hand, sat up on the old chair, and muttered to himself: "It is easy to get sick if you are impatient. It seems that I am so anxious that I have lost my mind." .”
Housekeeper Cen Sheng felt a little distressed when she saw the master like this.
Indeed, several years have passed, but Sun Zhicai's heart has not been removed.
After a while, Master Sun Zhicai raised his heavy head and asked, "Is Junze okay?"
"Don't worry, sir. Everything is fine with the young master. I often send letters home in January."
"That's good. Recently, I've been busy trying to bring down the Su family, and I rarely pay attention to Luolin. What is he doing these days?" Master Sun Zhicai asked.
After hearing this, the housekeeper recalled what happened to the second young master Sun Luolin these days, and then came back: "The second young master has been doing manual labor outside recently to earn some money."
Hearing this, Master Sun Zhicai started to question: "Making money? What's the use of making money?"
Housekeeper Cen Sheng shook his head: "I don't know. Since the third young master has lived in seclusion, the second young master has stopped asking for money from the house."
"Keep an eye on him during normal times. I'm afraid he will cause trouble again." Mr. Sun Zhicai was a little worried.
"Okay. The younger one will keep an eye on him." Butler Cen Sheng said.
Master Sun Zhicai sat on the old wooden chair without saying a word, as if he was beginning to recall the past in his heart.
Seeing that Master Sun Zhicai had not said a word for a long time, the housekeeper Cen Sheng asked in a low voice: "Master, do you have anything else to say?"
Master Sun Zhicai shook his head: "Go down, it seems that it will be difficult to bring down the Su family."
"Okay. The younger one will leave first." Housekeeper Cen Sheng walked down.
However, everyone in the Su Mansion on the side of Yanyang City was already asleep, but Su Runchen, who was the uncle of the country and the eldest young master of the Su Mansion, could not fall asleep.
"Summer Mountain!"
"Summer Mountain!"
Finally, after several shouts, the slave Xia Shan came towards this side.
"What's the matter, young master?" the servant Xia Shan asked in confusion.
"Come in, come in and talk."
After the eldest young master said this, the slave Xia Shan just walked in.
The eldest young master's bedroom was pitch dark, with no candles lit.
"Young Master." The slave Xia Shan said.
"Tomorrow this case will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Can this matter really be kept hidden?" Young Master Su Runchen panicked.
Today is already the fourth day since before the incident, and it will soon be the fifth day.
Logically speaking, the longer the case, the better. This made the case even more uncertain, but Su Runchen became more and more uneasy, so much so that he kept dreaming about it these past few nights.
After hearing this, the slave Xia Shan was also a little unsure. It seemed like it was the first time for him to do such a thing.
"Young master, don't worry. You are the uncle of the country and the younger brother of the current queen. No one will dare to make things difficult for you."
The words of slave Xia Shan seemed to make Su Runchen feel more relaxed.
"Okay." After saying that, Su Runchen took a deep breath: "If I can escape this time, Miss Liu will be mine in the future."
As he thought about it, Su Runchen's heart became a little excited again, and a beautiful picture quickly came to mind.
"If nothing happens to the eldest young master, then the younger one will leave first."
"Okay." Su Runchen looked at his slave Xia Shan.
Seeing the eldest young master so worried, and thinking about how well the eldest young master treated him before, Xia Shan said: "Young master, don't worry, if the time comes when I can't hide it anymore, I am willing to bear all the blame."
"Okay." Listening to what slave Xia Shan said, the eldest young master Su Runchen burst into tears. He had not misjudged him for so many years.
The next day, shortly after dawn, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, had already finished presiding over the court meeting.
Although the emperor has not yet gone to court, as one person is inferior to ten thousand people, his status is no different except that he is a little lower than the current majesty.
After the court meeting, Guo Xingwen, the Minister of Punishment, hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion and found Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left.
"Prime Minister Zuo, I have something to discuss with you." Guo Xingwen, the Minister of Punishment, was in a hurry.
Even if he didn't ask, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of Zuo, already knew what it was about, but he still asked him knowingly: "Guo Shangshu, what's the matter?"
Seeing that the Right Prime Minister Yang Youcheng was also here, Guo Xingwen, the Minister of Punishment, did not know whether to speak or not.
Looking at the face of Guo Xingwen, the Minister of Punishment, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, looked at the student Yang Youcheng on the side, and then looked at Guo Xingwen, the Shangshu of the Punishment Department, with a slight smile: "Just tell Guo Shangshu if you have anything, he is not an outsider."
"Okay." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishments was nervous and continued: "Today, the prefect Cen Yichun has handed over the case to the Ministry of Punishments. As the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, I am responsible for handling this case, but the suspect in this case is implicated. Your eldest son, Su Runchen, this...this..."
After hearing this, Su Yunqi, the prime minister of the left, smiled slightly: "It is up to Guo Shangshu to do whatever he wants in this matter. When the rumors spread outside, Su asked Runchen, but he did not agree to this matter. I think this case will naturally be with him. It has nothing to do with it. Guo Shangshu is also handling a case, so do whatever you want."
The words of Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, left Guo Shangshu a little confused as to what to do, but after all, he was the largest official in the court, and Guo Xingwen, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, could not ask any more questions.
"In this way, I took my leave. I also believe that this case will not be related to him."
Seeing Guo Xingwen, the Minister of Punishment, look like this, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, watched the Minister of Punishment leave with a smile on his face.
After Guo Xingwen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, left, Yang Youcheng, the Prime Minister on the right, asked his benefactor Su Yunqi: "My benefactor, what should you do if those ministers who are against you suspect Runchen?"
Su Yunqi, the prime minister of the left, smiled slightly, looked at Yang Youcheng, and said: "Run Chen is an official of the current imperial court, the younger brother of the queen, and the uncle of the great Mo Dynasty. Even if it reaches that point, they will not surrender." How to deal with Runchen."
Seeing his benefactor's confident words, Prime Minister Yang Youcheng felt a lot more relieved.
After Guo Xingwen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, came to the Ministry of Punishment, he began to preside over the case.
This case involves the consort and his Majesty's brothers and sisters. Guo Xingwen, the Minister of Punishment, intends to learn about the case as soon as possible and does not want to spread this news to His Majesty's ears and make the matter bigger.
Soon, Guo Xingwen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, sent several people to the Su Mansion to investigate the case.
"I am Ding Gan, the right minister of the imperial court's criminal department. I would like to ask you two to inform me that I want to meet my uncle Su Runchen." Ding Gan, the right minister of the criminal department, spoke very softly, not like he was investigating a case.
After seeing the two guards at the door of Su Mansion, they looked at the officials in front of them and hurriedly came back: "Officials, please wait a moment. Let me inform the eldest young master."
"Okay." Ding Gan, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, smiled slightly.
A guard hurriedly ran into the mansion and headed towards the eldest young master Su Runchen's bedroom. Fortunately, it seemed that Su Runchen did not escape.
"Young Master, there are officials from the Ministry of Justice outside the mansion asking to see you," the guard said.
After hearing this, the eldest young master Su Runchen hurriedly raised his head and looked at the slave Xia Shan beside him with a panic expression. Although he didn't say anything, it could be seen from his eyes that Su Runchen seemed to have a lot to say.
"Young Master, don't worry, this is a small matter that only one person can bear, and I won't let the Young Master bear it." The slave Xia Shan comforted the Young Master again.
Hearing Xia Shan's words again, the eldest young master Su Runchen seemed to have some confidence in his heart.
Just as the eldest young master, Su Runchen, was pushing out, he saw his mother, Mrs. Fan, walking over in a hurry.
"Son, what did you do? Why are there officials from the Ministry of Justice looking for you outside?" Mother Fan looked at Su Runchen with worried eyes.
"Mom, it's okay. Everything will be fine." After saying that, Su Runchen followed the guard and hurried out of the mansion.
Mother Fan also followed Su Runchen worriedly.
As soon as he left the house, the eldest young master Su Runchen happened to see several officials from the Ministry of Justice.
"I have met my uncle." Ding Gan, the right servant of the Ministry of Justice, did not forget to say hello.
Su Runchen also hurriedly returned the greeting and looked at several officials from the Ministry of Justice with an uninformed face.
"I wonder how many officials are trying to make peace with their subordinates?" the eldest young master Su Runchen said.
Ding Gan, the right servant of the Ministry of Justice, smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't worry, we are just here to ask you for some clues."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Runchen's biological mother standing behind his uncle Su Runchen.
"Mrs. Fan, don't worry, I'm just asking a few words."
Listening to the words of the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, Mrs. Fan held her hands nervously in front of her chest.
