Li Qing felt inexplicably anxious. In her opinion, Xuan Qingwei and the Major Case Department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were two completely different lines that she did not want to cross. She even looked down on the "black men" of Xuan Qingwei who relied on their privileges to handle cases.
This time, Li Qing had been on guard against Xuan Qingwei when she knew that Xuan Qingwei was involved. In addition, she was disgusted with the way the guy surnamed Shen was pretending to be a fool. She always felt that these people were either here to take credit or to take credit. Just here to cause trouble. After all, Xuan Qingwei and the dead Qin Xiuyuan were related to each other. Hasn't this been rumored for a long time?
Now, by chance, I actually discovered the problem!
The adjutant Xuanqingwei named Wang is actually recording the situation at the place where the crime occurred. Isn't this something he's doing? Li Qing even felt that the other party was trying to take credit from their Criminal Department! If you really came to "assist in the investigation", would this be necessary?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Li Qing hurried back to the Xingbu Yamen, trotted and knocked on Xue Gui's apartment.
"How many times have I told you, why are you in such a hurry?" Although Xue Gui's voice was still hoarse, it seemed to be a little softer when talking to Li Qing.
"Sir, I, I will remember it next time." Li Qing's originally impatient mood calmed down after seeing Xue Gui's "iron face", and she no longer panicked.
Xue Gui seems to have an "iron face" and should not be approached by strangers, but he takes great care of his adjutant, and anyone who is familiar with him knows that this adult only looks intimidating with an "iron face", but in fact he has a very good personality. get along.
"Tell me, what happened? Didn't I ask you to go to Prince Heshou's Mansion to get married?"
"Sir, I just came back from Prince Shou's Mansion. I didn't finish the knot because I discovered some new situations and came back to report to you."
Xue Gui shook his head and seemed to be smiling: "Tell me, what did you find?"
"It's those Xuanqing guards. I found that they made "records of the crime scene" in Prince Shou's Mansion, and they did it in great detail. Not only did they have the location of the Qin Mansion, but they also had a sketch description of the corpse scene. In addition, I tested that person Shen Hao’s adjutant, he also said that our first draft of the case was very rough and did not rule out the possibility that Qin Xiuyuan ate in Prince Shou’s Mansion when he died due to accidental ingestion, and requested a new autopsy.”
Li Qing told what she saw in Prince Shou's Mansion, and then saw Xue Gui, who was writing at the desk in front of him, paused the pen in his hand and raised his head.
Xue Gui asked: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, sir. Lieutenant Wang of the Xuanqing Guard was tracing a picture. I deliberately concealed my steps and breath and approached. I happened to see the picture in his hand, as well as some descriptive text, and the situation of the crime scene that we usually do. The method in the records is the same. And they clearly used the words "Shou Wangfu" and other words.
Sir, do you think these Xuanqing Guards are preparing to cause trouble? "In the last sentence, Li Qing couldn't help but express her opinion.
Xue Gui put down the pen in his hand. Although he couldn't see his face, his eyes were already a bit solemn. Yesterday's "confrontation" with Shen Hao made him know that he was facing a difficult person who was holding back bad intentions. He originally simply thought that the other party was preparing to steal the right to host this case, but now that he heard the news from Li Qing, he had to think deeper.
Xue Gui was very confused, and the top officials of the Ministry of Justice gave him a warning: try to avoid Prince Shou's Mansion.
Logically speaking, the Ministry of Punishment is so taboo about involving King Shou in the case, shouldn't people like Xuan Qingwei be more likely to avoid it? Could it be that when he wanted to go against the civil service group, he also wanted to break up with King Shou at the same time?
This doesn't seem to make sense.
Xue Gui has always had a high status in the Ministry of Punishment, and he is not rigid in his conduct. He has a good relationship with the senior officials of the Ministry of Punishment and has received many suggestions. Knowing that the current atmosphere in the imperial palace is not right, whether it is the civil servants, the military, or the Xuanqing Guards, they all have some taboos against the princes. If there is no other way, no one would want to simply choose someone to join the team.
Even this time King Shou helped Qin Xiuyuan, which was considered as a gesture of goodwill to the civil servant group. As a reward, the identity of how to repay the longevity king Xue Gui is still unknown.
Where is Xuan Qingwei? Didn't it mean "lonely minister"? No matter good or bad, you should keep your distance from the prince, right?
He couldn't help but think of yesterday's smiling face and those snake-like eyes, and Xue Gui slowly gained a thread in his mind.
The King of Prolonged Life is in the water... implying that the Ministry of Punishment is not handling the case well and flattering the prince... Yesterday, he shamelessly insisted on taking away a preliminary file of the case... If the dirty water is poured out, the Ministry of Punishment will definitely hide. If you don't open it...the final right to host the case will not be...
This line seems to be getting clearer and clearer, and the face under Xue Gui's mask is getting more and more ugly.
Xuan Qingwei is really not here to be a human being, he is really holding it back!
But what to do?
In Xue Gui's opinion, Xuan Qingwei's plans were probably thought up by the "evil star" named Shen. This person is really worthy of the many rumors outside. He is indeed powerful. But so what? Now that chance has been broken by Li Qing, otherwise it's hard to say whether he would have been tricked by the other party.
"You ask the people below to keep an eye on the Shou Prince's Mansion, mainly on the people of Xuanqing Guard. Qin Xiuyuan's body must be watched closely, and the people of Xuanqing Guard must not touch it."
"But sir, in this weather, the body cannot be kept for long. Do you think it should be burned directly?" Li Qing's idea was very simple and in compliance with the rules. The body that was originally "poisonous" can be burned directly. In this way, it would be impossible for Xuan Qingwei to establish the "first file of the case".
Xue Gui shook his head no without thinking much. It’s better not to make such a decision on your own easily. An oversight can be a big deal.
Qin Xiuyuan is a direct descendant of the family of the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue. His body was not buried in the ground, so you burned it? In addition, the adults in the Ministry of Punishment have not yet reached a conclusion on this matter. Burning the body will leave you with one less option.
"Keep it. You can go to the warehouse and apply for some ice to cool down. It will be no problem if you keep it for two or three days."
"It stinks...Okay, sir, I will obey."
Here, Li Qing hurriedly took orders and went on errands, and Xue Gui had no intention of continuing to sit in the public room and deal with official duties. After gathering his mood and mentally making up his mind, he walked out of the mansion and went to find his superior, Ma Xuanlin. The Minister of Punishment still had to make the decision on the matter.
...
And while Li Qing and Xue Gui were busy nipping Xuanqingwei's conspiracy in the cradle, Wang Yiming and several other rough guys from Xuanqingwei were putting on a very delicate performance in Prince Shou's Mansion. The purpose is to show the "copies" that were driven out yesterday to the palace guards in an "accidental" way.
Whether the two sides can form a synergy in the end depends partly on Wang Yiming's acting skills and partly on luck.
