Chapter 1066: Jiajing's Choice
Huang Jin is not the only little eunuch who came from the palace, among the many eunuchs in the palace, he is actually an extremely inconspicuous existence. It's just that so many years have passed, but he is the only eunuch of the royal palace who is safe and sound and in a high position.
Before he clearly guessed what the Holy One was thinking, even if he pretended to be stupid and made himself look stupid, he would not easily express his personal willingness.
Once he caters to the saint's appetite, it is fine, but if he follows the saint's will, then his good life may come to an end.
Just like Yan Song last year, the saint obviously hopes to rebuild the Wanshou Palace. It's just that this person is old and confused, but he wants to persuade the emperor to return to Ouchi, so that he is gradually falling out of favor now.
Jiajing faced the cautious Huang Jin, and it was naturally difficult to feel resentment in his heart, but he shook his head helplessly.
He suddenly noticed the appearance of Feng Bao beside him, and out of his liking for this little eunuch, he asked casually: "Feng Bao, how do you think Liu Yi should be rewarded?" ”
Feng Bao deliberately stood in a more prominent position, naturally wanting to participate in the topic, and was about to answer, but found that Huang Jin glared at him sternly, but he stopped his words and said, "The little one doesn't dare to talk nonsense!" ”
Huang Jin was indeed very unhappy, and he kept teaching Feng Bao not to participate in any discussion of political affairs, let alone get involved in political struggles. But this kid is so incomprehensible, it's like dying.
Although the temper of the saint has been restrained over the years, he has not forgotten those predecessors who were killed by the rod, and he understands why the palace maid took the risk of punishing the nine clans to strangle the saint to death.
Jiajing glanced at Huang Jin with understanding, Huang Jin didn't dare to be distracted, and immediately showed a sincere smile. Jiajing glared at him and said directly to Feng Bao: "Just say that I forgive you for your innocence!" ”
"Thank you, master!" Feng Bao thanked him, and then said seriously: "The little one thinks that the truth of Chen Zhixian's death should be investigated at the moment, and then Liu Ji should be disposed of, and it is not appropriate for Liu Ji to preside over the Shuntian Mansion now!" If you let him go back now, I'm afraid I'll never find out the truth! ”
Huang Jin's brows furrowed slightly, although he couldn't tell whether the saint was happy or angry, he still hurriedly reprimanded him dissatisfiedly: "Feng Bao, what stupid things are you talking about!" Hasn't Jin Yiwei already found out that the murderer of Chen Zhixian was a member of the White Lotus Sect? ”
"But...... Isn't this without evidence? Feng Bao hesitated, but still fought for it. He was not questioning the results of Jinyiwei's investigation, but for Lin Haoran, so he made this last effort.
Jiajing waved his hand to stop this small controversy, and seemed to have an idea in his heart. He occasionally listens to the opinions of those below, but the one who really makes up his mind is always himself.
Feng Bao looked at Jiajing who was walking towards the quiet room, but a bad premonition surged in his heart.
He naturally wanted to help Lin Haoran secretly, but today's saint is such a kind person, and he has always had clear rewards and punishments, and I am afraid that he will reinstate Liu Qiguan.
If Liu Jizhen's official is reinstated, then Lin Haoran, the acting Shuntian Mansion Yin, will naturally retreat to Shuntian Mansion, so as to lose control of Shuntian Mansion again, and even never turn over.
It's just that when things come to this point, his little eunuch can't reverse the saint's will at all, and he can only see one step at a time.
The capital has always been a place of right and wrong.
Since the opening of the market in the capital by Suncheon Daily, the capital has become more lively than before.
In the past, no matter what happened to a big event, even if Yan Song's wife died. It takes a while for news to spread from the south to the north of the city, and it takes another time to spread from the inner city to the outer city, and many news can spread throughout the capital after a day or several days.
It's just that after the appearance of "Shuntian Daily", even if there is sand in the dishes of Xiaoxianglou, it only takes one morning to make this news known all over the city.
And today, there is a big news. Just last night, Shuntian Fucheng was assassinated by an assassin in front of his home and almost died on the spot.
"This assassination of the court official is a capital crime!"
"Isn't it? Who is so rampant? ”
"I'm afraid this thing is not simple, it's better to mix less!"
……
The news spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and all the major restaurants were talking about this incident. Since the conflict between Lin Haoran and the Xu Mansion had already become public, after the news spread, some people turned their suspicious eyes to the Xu Mansion.
After Lin Fucheng took charge of the Shuntian Mansion, he handled the case of Xu Yuanwai's identity fraud not to mention for the time being, and the murder case of He Jiu and the murder of Chen Zhixian were more or less related to the Xu Mansion.
It is precisely in this way that Xu Fu has been pushed to the forefront again, and he is already the biggest suspect in the assassination of Lin Fucheng.
Although some people were afraid and even avoided it, many people went to the Shuntian Mansion to watch the assassin who was tied to the door of the Shuntian Mansion.
In the newspaper, it was clearly noted: "Anyone who can provide effective information about the Assassins will be rewarded with a silver tael; Those who could provide clues to the Assassins' accomplices were rewarded with five taels of silver; Anyone who can provide clues to the assassin's behind-the-scenes instructions will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver! ”
This has been the case since ancient times, and there must be brave men under this heavy reward. Whether it is one tael or five taels, or those fifty taels, it is undoubtedly a big temptation for the people of the capital, and they naturally want to try their luck.
"I've seen him, and he's staying at the Yuelai Inn!"
"He said his name is Wang Si, and he is from Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi!"
"His companions? I seem to have seen him appear in the Zuichun Building! ”
……
The onlookers seemed to have a pair of bright eyes, and soon provided all kinds of clues to the head catcher Zhang Hu. Anyone who provides useful information can receive a reward of one or a half taels from Zhang Hu, and these simple Baizao have already blushed with joy.
After all this information was compiled, the whereabouts and identity of the assassin were quickly grasped by the Shuncheon Prefecture. With this information in hand, Lin Haoran went to Xiyuan without delay, and directly asked to see the emperor as the acting Shuntian Mansion Yin.
The reason why the Shuntian Mansion is noble and has the name of the small criminal department is that in addition to his official seal being a silver seal and being able to handle criminal cases across the country, he also has the power to directly seek to see the saints.
Of course, nothing can be absolute.
Today's saint has never been the son of heaven who plays cards according to common sense, otherwise he would not have hid in Xiyuan for more than 20 years. Whether this is seen or not has always been based on mood, and has nothing to do with the identity of the official and the size of the affairs.
