Since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, the Daqing Emperor has been a model of diligence and caring for the people. He basically goes to court to discuss affairs 25 days a month. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to summon some important ministers to discuss national affairs in his study, Qiannan Hall. Today is different. His Majesty the Emperor has summoned all the officials with real power in the second rank and above in the capital. There are more than a hundred people. This can only be held in the main hall, Yuji Hall.
Su Xiuda hurried to the palace. Because he was a prince and could ride horseback inside and outside the palace, he rode the horse directly outside the imperial city gate. When he walked into the Yuji Palace, he saw that almost everyone had arrived. After saluting His Majesty the Emperor, he stood in the first row.
After Su Xiuda stood still, he thought about why the emperor asked him to hold a court meeting today. Then he saw Hua Guotai bowing slightly to him, and felt even more strange. I secretly thought that if I was usually late, this old boy would have jumped out and wanted to impeach me. What happened today? Not only did he not say anything bad about me, he also saluted me. The sun came out from the west?
At this time, Emperor Qingyuan spoke in a low voice, "My dear friends, there was a big case in the capital last night. The third son of Hua Shoufu was killed. The murderer has not been caught yet. My dear friends, please discuss this. Who should have done this?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and everyone turned their attention to Hua Guotai. Hua Guotai is indeed worthy of being the chief minister. Even after his son died, his face did not change and his heart did not beat.
The Minister of Punishment stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this case was originally supposed to be the accidental death of Mr. Hua. However, after careful investigation by Prince Su's son Su Lin, clues were found and the wrong case was not decided. Although the murderer has not been caught yet, I think that given Mr. Su Lin’s level of care, if this case is handed over to him, the solution will be around the corner. Please ask for your Majesty’s Holy Judgment.”
The words of the Minister of Punishment were even more surprising than the words of His Majesty the Emperor. Everyone wondered if their ears had heard it wrong. What clues had been found by that unlearned boy Su Lin? This is impossible, isn't that guy a dandy? There was a constant buzzing sound in the golden palace. The eunuch next to him waved his whip and shouted "Quiet!" in a sharp voice. Then the palace became quiet.
Su Xiuda was not at peace in his heart. How could I not know what my boy is like? Does he still have such ability? Could it be that he was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger in the past to deliberately anger me? No wonder that old boy Hua Guotai wanted to salute me, and Su Xiuda was a little messy.
Emperor Qingyuan said, "Since Lord Punishment has recommended it, let Su Lin take charge of Charlie's case. Brother Wang, Su Lin will wait for you to go to court and inform him. The imperial edict will arrive soon."
Su Xiuda raised his hand and said, "I obey your order."
Emperor Qingyuan changed the topic, "Where is the governor of the capital?"
Chen Baokui, the governor of the capital, quickly came out and knelt down, "I'm here."
"There is such a big case in the capital. What do you do in the capital's yamen? How can the people of the capital be safe if the public security in the capital is so good? Do you know your guilt, the governor of the capital?"
A big word "danger" appeared on the head of the governor of the capital, and sweat dropped from his forehead. "Wei Chen is guilty of this. It's all my fault for being lax in public security. Please forgive me."
"Since you are aware of the crime, you will be fined for half a year. If there is another major case, I will definitely have you hanged."
"I will obey the imperial edict." The governor of the capital stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I am very relieved that Hua Aiqing has lost her beloved son and still insists on going to court. Come and give Hua Aiqing a thousand taels of gold."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hua Guotai thanked him.
Emperor Qingyuan said to Su Xiuda again, "Brother Wang, when you go back, you must urge Su Lin to solve the case as soon as possible, and give Hua Aiqing an explanation."
"I will definitely urge Su Lin."
"That's good, let's retire." Emperor Qingyuan announced his resignation, and the ministers left the Golden Palace one by one. Hua Guotai walked to Su Xiuda's side and bowed again, "I've passed on the whole case of Quan Zi to Mr. Su. I'd like to express my thanks in advance."
Su Xiuda felt secretly happy that one day this old boy would bow to me. Even though he was taking advantage of this boy Su Lin, he was still very happy. But he said, "There is no need to be polite to the chief minister. Since Su Lin is an official of the Ministry of Justice, this is his duty."
After leaving the palace gate, Su Xiuda mounted his horse and walked back, thinking as he walked, when he looked up again, he had arrived at the gate of the palace. He came to the study and said to the housekeeper, "Go and call the young master over."
Su Lin was sleeping soundly here when he heard Osmanthus calling him at the door, "Master, please wake up, the prince is asking you to come over." Su Lin opened his eyes with difficulty, "It's really annoying. I don't know how wrong it is to disturb other people's sleep." Is it moral?" But his father told him not to go, so he had to get up, wash his face, put on clothes and went to the study with the help of Osmanthus fragrans.
In the study, Su Xiuda was meditating at the table when he saw Su Lin coming in, "Here you go, sit down."
Su Lin sat opposite Su Xiuda and said, "I wonder why my father called me here?"
Su Xiuda pondered for a moment before speaking, "Are you hiding something from me?"
? ? ? Su Lin wondered, "I have nothing to hide from my father."
"I went to court today. His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers all spoke highly of you, saying that you are careful and observant. Thanks to you, I found out that the boy named Hua was killed, and asked you to take charge of his case. Tell me, is there someone helping you in the dark?" Su Xiuda looked at Su Lin sideways as he spoke, with a look on his face that said, "I've seen through you."
Su Lin saw his gaze and complained in his heart, "This old man can't be cross-eyed. He always looks at me cross-eyed. How much he despises his son. Why should I be responsible for this case? I just want to Being a happy dude and investigating cases is just a hobby, no, I have to find a way to push this matter out."
"No one helped me. I just deduced it by accidentally discovering some details."
Su Xiuda still looked unconvinced, and Su Lin said again, "Father, why don't you tell the emperor and let someone else handle this case? I really don't want to bother you."
Su Xiuda then showed an expression that I knew well, "You are afraid that you won't be able to solve the case and get the job, so that's fine. I'll tell the emperor to let others take responsibility, so that I won't be embarrassed by following you."
"Hey," this made Su Lin extremely unhappy. My father had too little confidence in me. This was Hong Guoguo's contempt. The feeling of being despised by my father was really...
"I changed my mind. I'll take this case." Su Lin changed his mind.
"You have to think about it carefully. If I don't tell the emperor now, you won't be able to accept it even if you don't want to accept it when the imperial edict comes down."
"What's there to think about? I'll take it as soon as I say. If I can't solve this case, the worst I can do is not stay in the capital anymore and go out to make a living." Su Lin replied.
"Okay!" Su Xiuda slapped the table and said happily as if his plan had succeeded. "This is what a man should be like. Just go ahead and do it. I will take care of anything you have to do."
"I'm so excited. Why did he get so excited that I agreed?" Su Lin regretted it. When he saw Su Xiuda's look, he understood that Su Xiuda was deliberately provoking him. It was all a routine.
"Dad, this is your fault. Are you trying to trick me? I'm your biological son. Can I regret it? I don't want to do it anymore." Su Lin said helplessly.
Su Xiuda stared and said, "How dare you! A man's words are hard to follow. You have already promised and now you want to go back on it. Believe it or not, I will break your legs." Then he laughed and said, "Lin'er, just go ahead and do it." , I will also arrange for someone to help you. If you solve this case and make me proud, I won’t care what you do in the future."
"For the sake of your face, I ignored my son's hard work. This is a good thing for me." Su Lin complained in his heart, "Okay, since dad said so, then I will take it. But I don't need you to arrange people for me. I can just feel it myself."
"Hey, why are you being polite to your father, Di Wu!" Su Xiuda shouted into the air. Suddenly, a woman dressed in black appeared in front of Su Lin. "Di Wu is a dead soldier beside me. She has fought with me for many years. She is very good at tracking and can help you a lot. Di Wu, you will follow Su Lin from now on." Bar."
Su Xiuda has been fighting for so long, and he is also a very popular minister. He is surrounded by ten masters, thirty-six Tiangang, seventy-two earth demons, and countless dead spies protecting him. The purpose of sending Diwu to Su Lin this time was to help Su Lin.
"Help me, don't send her to spy on me." Su Lin thought to himself, "Then just listen to dad." He knew that this matter could not be changed, so he had no choice but to agree.
At this time, the butler's voice came from outside: "Master, young master, someone from the palace is here, saying they are delivering the imperial edict to the young master."
Su Xiuda said, "Lin'er, the imperial edict is here, go ahead."
Su Lin came to the front hall and saw a eunuch in a python robe standing in the hall. When he saw Su Lin, he said in a sharp voice, "Su Lin takes the order!"
Su Lin stood without kneeling. The eunuch just pretended not to see him. He couldn't offend the Su family. The emperor was still Su Lin's biological uncle. He didn't do anything more and didn't do anything less. He just opened the imperial edict and read out "The emperor's edict is destined to be carried by heaven. Today, Hua is here." The case of Hua Shaoqing, Cathay's son, was murdered. After being recommended by the ministers, Su Lin was specially ordered to investigate the case. I hope you will solve the case as soon as possible. I do this!" After saying that, he handed the imperial edict to Su Lin with both hands.
Su Lin casually took the imperial edict and put it on the table. The eunuch's eyes twitched when he saw it, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only say, "Master Su, the imperial edict has been delivered, and we will go back to resume our duties."
Su Lin said politely, "Why don't you stay and have lunch together?"
"No, no, thank you Master Su for your kindness. Our family is anxious to go back and report back to the emperor."
"Okay, then I won't give it away."
"Master Su, stay."
The housekeeper sent the eunuch who delivered the edict outside the house on behalf of Su Lin, and Su Lin returned to the study with the edict.
"It's really troublesome." Su Lin sighed.
"What's the trouble? Since you have taken over this matter, you must do it well and don't do what you did before." Su Xiuda educated Su Lin, "Otherwise, both the emperor and the ministers will think that you just happened to be here." Knowing the cause of Hua Xiaozi's death, your father and I will not be ashamed at all."
"I got it, don't worry, Dad, I will solve this case." After Su Lin finished speaking, he stood up and yawned, "No, I'm too sleepy. Let's go and catch up on some sleep. Dad, call me again after dinner." "
"You little bastard!" Su Xiuda cursed, and Su Lin turned around and went to rest.
