"No," Di Ying shook his head listlessly, then spread his hands and said, "To be honest, solving this case will definitely not be a day's work. You don't want to catch the real culprit first. Did the person handling the case starve to death?"
The old emperor: "...Aren't you the most particular about the golden time to solve a case? Why do you have to find a way to delay it when you get to me? Are you trying to find a way to deal with me?"
Di Ying raised her eyes, glanced at His Majesty, and then lowered her eyes again.
He sighed and said: "Wei Chen has already inspected the scene and conducted a preliminary inspection of the body of the deceased. The rest is not urgent. The body cannot escape, and the murderer cannot escape. Wei Chen has to take care of it first." Just keep living by yourself.”
"Do you already know who the murderer is?" The old emperor caught the point and asked in surprise.
Di Ying shook her head firmly: "I don't know. But those who are capable of killing people in the palace will not run away or be afraid."
The old emperor was silent.
After a few breaths, he pointed to a young eunuch waiting at the door and said, "Take Lord Di to the east hall and bring him all the food you need."
After saying that, seeing Di Ying open his mouth, the old emperor interrupted him: "I know you are not eating by yourself. Take your people with you to eat together, eat as you like until you are full. You can also sleep again. I will wait. I can afford it.”
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty."
Di Ying happily bowed down, turned around and left.
Looking at his back, the old emperor leaned into the dragon chair, tapped the armrests of the dragon chair with his fingers, and asked Su Hong softly: "Di Ying already knows who the murderer is, right?"
Su Hong lowered his head and said nothing.
I heard His Majesty continue: "He is stalling for time. Not for himself, but for me. He is giving me time to think about whether to let him continue the investigation, right?"
Su Hong bowed deeper.
The palace was quiet for a while, and then His Majesty's voice sounded again: "Is it the Wu family again?"
Su Hong's feet moved back imperceptibly.
In the huge imperial study room, the air became quiet again.
I don't know how long it took before Su Hong heard His Majesty say in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Let's check and wait until the results come out..."
Su Hong could tell that what His Majesty meant was: Let's see which Wu family is involved in the end. As long as it's not Taiping, Wu Chengsi, Wu Qiongsi or the like...if it's just their juniors or less important people, it can be dealt with. If it's the other way around... we'll have to think about it then. After all, those people will not and cannot be killed no matter what.
Su Hong suddenly became angry for Master Di.
Mr. Di came back in a hurry, but Your Majesty did not say a word of greeting;
Mr. Di entered the palace without even returning home. His Majesty did not see the fatigue on his body and face;
Master Di, I don't know how long it has been since I had a good meal or a good sleep, and His Majesty didn't expect this at all.
Su Hong really believed that Master Di was hungry. He must be very hungry. The skin of his mouth was cracked and bleeding, almost like dry old tree bark.
But he didn't even bother to take a sip of water, and just wanted to escape from Dadu. He was called back again, and the case was investigated again until now.
His Majesty also ignored him.
If Mr. Di hadn't shamelessly requested it, I would have had to wait until the case was over to get anything...
No, no. As soon as the case is over, Mr. Di will have to rush to Longyou Road...right?
Thinking of this, Su Hong was a little unsure again.
He didn't dare think about it anymore.
Then he reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, no matter who he is, anyone who dares to attack your people in the palace... will be a threat to you."
"Xiao Hongzi, what you actually want to say is that if you don't deal with it clearly and happily this time, I'm afraid it will hurt Di Ying again, right?"
The old emperor heard the implication of Su Hong's words, stood up and walked to the entrance of the palace, looking in the direction of the East Palace.
Then he said: "I actually envy Di Huaijie's pursuit of a clear distinction between black and white. He can cut off when he wants, and break when he wants to. But I can't. When I face many people and many things, I have to do it. trade off.
Remember the example Huai Jie gave, right? As for me, I am the piece of wood in the water that everyone wants to get. There are many things I need to pay attention to.
Reefs, boats, currents, wind directions, schools of fish, whirlpools, rapids...etc., I have to move forward desperately and not let those things sink me.
Huai Jie is almost in the same situation. But he dared to stop and think of ways to counteract those, and the way I thought of was how to balance it.
Things in court cannot be black and white. In fact, everyone is gray. Only he, Di Huaijie...
He is so white that I can't even keep him in the capital city. Forget it, let him check it. Go and tell him: I am the only one who knows the results of the investigation. "
After the old emperor finished speaking, he turned around and entered the palace.
Su Hong sighed deeply in his heart and walked slowly towards the east side hall.
That speed...is a little slower than an ant crawling.
Su Hong really didn't want to disturb Di Ying's meal. He really felt that if he conveyed these words and that direction, Di Ying would not be able to eat anymore.
When Di Ying heard it, she just paused in her chewing action and then continued eating. Just slower.
He had already guessed that the old emperor would be this way.
Whether we delay or not, this will be the result.
Forget it, don’t eat anymore, let’s cut the mess quickly.
Di Ying, who really wanted to appear indifferent, put down the bowl, stood up, called on the brothers to continue eating, and then followed Eunuch Su back to the imperial study.
I heard Eunuch Su whispering a reminder, and the direction His Majesty was looking at at that time.
After Di Ying thanked Eunuch Su, she remained silent.
The fingers clenched tighter and tighter.
When I saw His Majesty, He was the only one left in the imperial study. Obviously, His Majesty was waiting for him to "present his case secretly."
Eunuch Su was also obedient. When he saw this situation, he stood outside the palace gate and did not follow him.
Di Ying smiled.
Smiling, he walked to the treasure shelf, and then knocked over a very delicate, precious, and precious white jade bottle to the ground.
"Crack!"
Broken to pieces.
The old emperor: "..."
She had a gloomy face, narrowed her eyes slightly, and exuded aura: "Di Ying, do you want to rebel?"
Di Ying smiled, brushed the hem of his robe with his sleeves, and took a few steps forward to avoid the debris.
He smiled and shook his head and said: "Weichen is not interested in your position. Weichen's life is destined to be in vain. If Weichen sits in your chair, almost all the officials in the Manchu Dynasty will have to be replaced. .
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. That chair is not suitable for Wei Chen. Wei Chen is very self-aware. "
