Chapter 775: Climbing the High Branches.

It's just admiration and admiration, there is suspicion or suspicion.

So Ye Xing looked at Liang Zhong and asked, "Lord Liang and Geng Jia don't agree, but is it because the two of you were fighting for the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Liang Zhong did not hide it, and said: "That's right, the two of us don't agree because of the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but I don't want to be like King Daming, if Geng Jia really has the ability to think about the people and the country of the world, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites will let him be the waiter, but this is not the case!" ”

Ye Xing was taken aback, he was very curious about how Geng Jia had climbed to the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites in just two years, and listening to Liang Zhongze's meaning, it seemed that he knew what was going on.

"Oh, no, what's going on?" Ye Xing looked at Liang Zhong and asked.

But when Ye Xing asked this, Liang Zhong hesitated a little.

Seeing this, Ye Xing said: "If there is anything Lord Liang says directly, it doesn't matter, if you offend others, this king will take care of it for you." ”

Hearing Ye Xing say this, Liang Zhong was also let go, so he said: "Don't hide it, at that time, I was the most qualified to be the left waiter in the entire Ministry of Rites, and Geng Jia was transferred to the Ministry of Rites not long ago, I have been doing it for a few years, but when the emperor announced that Geng Jia would be the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, I was really surprised, so I finally knew the reason after many inquiries." ”

"What is the reason?" Everyone gathered around Liang Zhongze, very interested.

Liang Zhong sighed and said, "It was Geng Jia who climbed the high branch of Princess Yong'an, and his position was begged by Princess Yong'an from the emperor." ”

After everyone listened to Liang Zhongze's words, they couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Geng Jia was able to be promoted so quickly in two years, it turned out that he climbed to Princess Yong'an.

It's just that Princess Yong'an is devoted to Buddhism and doesn't seem to care much about the affairs of the court, and this Geng Jia doesn't have much contact with Princess Yong'an, how did he climb to Princess Yong'an?

This incident made Ye Xing very strange.

At this time, Ye Xing's suspicion of Liang Zhongze had not been ruled out, so he continued: "Now that Lord Liang is more disagreeable, it is clear that you have a motive to kill, so I also ask Lord Liang to cooperate with my following questioning." ”

Liang Zhongze's face was not very good-looking, but he still nodded slightly.

"On Princess Yong'an's birthday, where are you between Shen Shi and Youshi?" Ye Xing asked.

Liang Zhong glanced at Ye Xing, and then replied: "That day, more than three officials from the Ministry of Rites went to celebrate Princess Yong'an's birthday, so there were a lot of things in the Ministry of Rites. ”

"When Shen Shi and Youshi were in time, were you still in the Ministry of Rites?"

Liang Zhong nodded: "It was still there at the time, and several other Rite Lang Zhong were also there, they could testify for me." ”

Seeing this, Ye Xing said, "Okay, I'll go to the rest of the people for verification, I'm troublesome to Lord Liang today, so we'll leave here." ”

After Ye Xing and the others left Liang Zhongze's mansion, Di Xiaojie couldn't help but sigh and said: "This Liang Zhongze is really a Qing official, he was a five-grade official in the capital, and he was so poor. ”

Everyone else also had the same sigh, but Ye Xing smiled and said: "A fifth-grade official could have lived a better life, but this Liang Zhong is better than what he has in his cup, and now that he is poor like this, there is nothing he can do!" ”

There's nothing wrong with a good cup, but it's a bit unreasonable to treat wine as a hobby to the point of having your wife do such a job as pouring tea.

After a few of them discussed, they went directly to the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, there were still many people in the Ministry of Rites who were busy inside, and the people Liang Zhong said were also there, and after Ye Xing inquired, they all said that Liang Zhong was indeed working in the Ministry of Rites that day.

In this way, Liang Zhongze's suspicion was ruled out again.

It's just that when Ye Xing left, he asked curiously: "Did Liang Zhongze take leave today, why didn't he come to work in the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Hearing Ye Xing's question, several of them smiled slightly and said, "King Daming doesn't know, today is Liang Zhongze's wife's birthday, and he takes a day off to accompany his wife." ”

After the last question was resolved, they left the Ministry of Rites.

After leaving the Ministry of Rites, Xu Ruoxuan said: "Now the only people who are still suspicious are Song Chengju, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Jianghu man that Geng said, should we go to Wanhualou to investigate?" ”

Ye Xing nodded: "It is necessary to go to Wanhualou to investigate, but the suspect is not only the suspect Song Chengju and Geng Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but also one person besides the two of them." ”

"Who?" Di Xiaojie and the others asked curiously.

Ye Xing smiled slightly: "Of course it's Princess Yong'an, Princess Yong'an's identity is so noble, how can she have any contact with Geng Jia, but from Liang Zhongze's mouth, we know that the reason why Geng Jia was able to become the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites is because Princess Yong'an said good things about him in front of the emperor, so we have to doubt the relationship between Princess Yong'an and Geng Jia." ”

Everyone felt that what Ye Xing said was right, and Ai Fei'er saw this and asked, "Then do we need to go to see Princess Yong'an?" ”

Ye Xing shook his head: "No, the time has not come, Princess Yong'an has a special identity, let's go to see her like this, if she doesn't want to answer our questions or doesn't want to see us, we have no way at all, so it's better not to act rashly, and we need to know if Princess Yong'an has the strength to strangle a man." ”

"Princess Yong'an can't be pinched, you can find someone to pinch!" Di Xiaojie said unintentionally.

After listening to Di Xiaojie's words, Xu Ruoxuan hurriedly said: "I heard Yuan Rong say that before they heard Feng Ma shout that Geng Jia was dead, Yuan Rong had been with Princess Yong'an, which means that neither of them had time to kill." ”

Hua Zhimeng smiled slightly and said, "The two of them, if they want to kill someone, they will definitely testify to each other, so Yuan Rong's words can't be trusted." ”

This was indeed the case, so they had no choice but to give up and wait until they had more clues to question Princess Yong'an.

In the meantime, Ye Xing sent someone to investigate why Song Chengju couldn't get used to Geng Jia.

This matter was not very difficult, and soon Ye Xing and the others got the news.

"I heard that Geng Jia was very excited a few days before he was killed, and he secretly revealed that he was going to be promoted but the Ministry of Rites was still in the book, and Song Chengju had overheard these words, his status was threatened, and he naturally couldn't get used to Geng Jia."

After getting this news, Ye Xing and the others felt that Song Chengju was even more suspicious, and in order to keep his position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was very likely to kill someone.
