Sheng Langming looked at the smile on Wei Rong's face and felt a little wrong, but thinking that Yan Ming was already dead, even if Wei Rong had a letter and an account book in his hand, as long as there was no Yan Ming's witness, he couldn't do anything about the Sheng family.

Thinking like this, Sheng Qinghe was not flustered in his heart, and walked into the golden hall with his head raised.

The first thing Yan Lie said when he came up was to ask Sheng Qinghe: "Taishi, I heard that the study of Taishi's Mansion caught fire last night, what is happening now?" ”

Sheng Qinghe insisted on Yugui and said in a deep voice: "If you go back to the emperor, the books and official documents in the study have been burned. ”

Yan Lie seemed to frown, and said, "Then can you find out who did it?" ”

"The murderer hasn't been found yet, and the old minister is still investigating."

"Taishi caught Lord Wei and the county lord of Yude last night and asked about it all night, but I am afraid that the murderer has already taken advantage of this time to leave." Jiang Mohan said with a smile, without a serious appearance at all.

"The old man knew that he had made a surprise to Lord Wei and the county lord last night, but the old man was also helpless, so please don't mind Lord Wei." Sheng Qing and Chao Wei Rong arched their hands.

Wei Rong dodged Sheng Qinghe's salute and said, "The old lady is serious, you have given such a heavy gift to make amends, how can I account for it." ”

This is to remind the people present that he and Baoyun were indeed wronged by Sheng Qinghe, and if they don't let Sheng Qinghe give them generous gifts to make amends.

The smile on Sheng Qinghe's face was a little reluctant, Wei Rong's sleekness was not like that of this age.

"Then the master will find the murderer quickly, this kind of thing will make people panic if it is not clear." Yan Lie's understatement.

Sheng Qinghe bowed his head and should go down.

At this time, Wei Rong picked up Yugui and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Ming committed suicide in prison last night. ”

This time, Yan Ming was a little surprised before asking, "Oh? Are you sure it was a suicide? ”

"I've already experienced it, and it's really suicide."

Sheng Qinghe and Sheng Langming glanced at each other, although they were very careful in doing things, but with Wei Rong's temperament, they were not people who let go so easily, how could they watch Wei Rong let this matter develop in the direction they expected so easily?

The ministers in the court also looked at each other, everyone has such an abacus in their hearts, Yan Ming was fine before, Sheng Langming died after he came back, is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Maybe there are coincidences, but what happened to Wei Rong and the Sheng family is not so easy for people to believe that it is a coincidence.

Yan Lie's eyes roamed over the faces of Sheng Qing and Sheng Langming and Wei Rong, and when Sheng Qing and Sheng Langming broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs, he clapped his hands and said to Wei Rong: "Wei Rong, are you guilty!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, they thought that there would be a big change today, but this change was aimed at the Sheng family, why suddenly the situation developed in a direction that they didn't expect at all.

Wei Rong knelt down and said loudly: "The minister is guilty, and the minister is derelict in his duties." ”

"Father, Wei Shangshu was negligent, but Yan Ming was not imprisoned in the Criminal Department yesterday, why did he commit suicide after General Sheng returned to the capital?" Yan Ming came out of the way.

peaceful

Before Lie could speak, Yan Chen immediately retorted, "What do you mean by this, Fourth Emperor Brother? Could it be that the four emperor brothers suspected that General Sheng forced Yan Ming to commit suicide? ”

"I didn't mean that, but Yan Ming's matter more or less involved General Sheng, and the person who directly benefited from Yan Ming's death was General Sheng, so it is natural for me to have this question, right?" Yan Ming didn't have much trouble refuting Yan Chen.

"The Fourth Emperor Brother is speculating wildly based on his personal speculation, such a big thing, I'm afraid it's inappropriate?" Yan Chen said coldly.

"That's it! Why did they quarrel! Yan Lie said unhappily.

Yan Chen glared at Yan Ming, and then stopped.

Yan Ming didn't stop talking, and then said to Yan Lie: "Father, the son thinks this matter is very strange, after all, it is directly related to General Sheng, and it is better to find out." ”

Sheng Qinghe put his mind at ease, and now this situation is normal. It seems that Wei Rong does not defend himself, but this does not mean that Wei Rong pleaded guilty. Look, isn't Yan Ming just talking for Wei Rong at this time?

Sheng Langming knelt on the ground and said righteously: "Your Majesty, the minister's opinion is the same as that of His Royal Highness, the minister knows his innocence, but others don't know. No matter what kind of investigation minister accepts, there is no relationship between the minister and Yan Ming, and the minister came back this time to prove his innocence. ”

Yan Lie nodded, revealing a smile: "It's best that Aiqing can think like this." ”

At this point, he looked at Wei Rong again, his smile disappeared at the same time, and he said in a deep voice: "But no matter what, Wei Rong's dereliction of duty is a fact, and he will be punished for three months, if such a thing happens again in the prison of the Criminal Department, you don't have to do it!" ”

Hearing Yan Lie's words, all the ministers were taken aback, this punishment is not heavy, as long as there is another crime committed by a prisoner in the prison of the Criminal Department, Wei Rong's Shangshu will be gone.

Such a good opportunity, will the Sheng family let it go? Obviously not.

Yan Lie obviously trusted Wei Rong so much before, why would he be so heavy now.

"Wei Shangshu was punished, and it is not appropriate for him to continue to interrogate the case of Yan Ming and corruption." Yan Lie's voice came again.

Hearing that Sheng Qing and Sheng Langming were very surprised, there were surprises at the same time. They thought that Wei Rong's punishment was already the result, but they didn't expect that it was not over.

"What the emperor said is that Wei Shangshu is still young and not thoughtful enough. It's better to let the old minister hear this case. "Wei Jiedao.

Seeing that Sheng Langming was about to speak, Sheng Qinghe stopped him with his eyes.

"This is not appropriate, the relationship between the prime minister and Wei Shangshu still has to avoid suspicion." Yan Lie didn't agree, his eyes swept over the faces of the courtiers one by one, as if he was looking for a suitable person.

The ministers have different thoughts, and they don't want to stand in line for fear that this errand will fall on their heads, so that they will offend one side if they are not careful, which is really difficult to do.

Standing on Sheng Qinghe's side, he naturally hoped that Yan Lie could hand over this errand to them, so that he could easily lead a credit in front of Sheng Qinghe.

After a moment of silence, Yan Lie's eyes stayed on Sima Changkong's face,

said: "I'll trouble General Sima to investigate this matter." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sheng Qinghe realized that Sima Changkong had returned to the capital, it seemed that his mind was disturbed by Wei Rong and Yu Baoyun last night, how could he ignore such a big matter?

Sima Chang stood out of the queue and responded with his chin down. He looked at the current situation coldly.

Seeing Sima Changkong agree, Yan Lie smiled, and his eyes turned to Sheng Langming, which made Sheng Langming feel not very good.
