I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 589 Investigation and trivial matters

"Master Song, this is the dossier about the attack on Prime Minister Zuo last time, and it's all here now."

In Dali Temple, Song Mu returned to his hometown and was sitting at a table in the middle, looking down at various materials.

Several officials from the nearby Dali Temple were busy carrying various files. Because several cases were involved, the officials searched for many times and were sweating profusely.

"Thank you, everyone. It's a dry autumn day. Mr. Song invites you to drink some tea."

At this moment, Song Mu raised his head and talked to the leading official, and gave a piece of silver, and the official accepted it gratefully, and quickly called everyone to help with the work.

This was Song Mu's first day at Dali Temple after the competition in Zhongzhou.

Now that Song Mu is also the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he is already the upper official in this Dali Temple, so it is much more convenient to investigate the case like this.

Song Mu didn't dare to be sloppy, and immediately took out the files of Huangfu Fengming and the fire case, and ordered people to collect the files of Feng Xiang's attack before.

The room was so densely packed that everyone felt that it would be quite a tiring job for Song Mu to read through them.

However, after many years of reading at the desk, Song Mu has also developed some skills. He dare not say that he can't forget, but he can also see ten lines at a glance and remember the general idea.

With the blessing of thoughts in his mind, Song Mu is quite handy with this.

Not long after Song Mu looked through the files, a person came in a hurry, stopped in front of the door, and cupped his hands towards the inside.

"Master Song, Mr. Ruan is bothering you."

Hearing the voice, Song Mu raised his head and saw a middle-aged man in a red robe walking in. He immediately put down the scroll in his hand, stood up and cupped his hands.

"It's Mr. Ruan, sorry."

The person who came was Dali Temple Minister, the highest official of Dali Temple, and Song Mu's nominal immediate boss.

The middle-aged man's name is Ruan Zhongjin, he has been in the fifth-rank realm of the Imperial Academy, and has been an official for decades all the way to his current position.

This Ruan Zhongjin had a broad face, and when he spoke, he gave people a sense of stability, and at that moment, he cupped his hands towards Song Mu with a smile on his face, and said.

"Master Song, you don't need to be like this. You and I are colleagues now. Mr. Ruan just came back from investigating the case outside, and heard that Mr. Song came here in a hurry to investigate several cases with one hand. I don't know if there is anything I can help place?"

"Your Majesty Ruan is serious. Today, I'm just putting together all the things in the case. Everything has to be done slowly, and I will have to ask you to help me with all my strength."

Ruan Zhongyuan nodded in satisfaction when he heard this.

"Okay, why does Master Song need to just say it in the future, the case that Master Song is investigating this time is very important, and my Dali Temple will contribute to it no matter what."

This was true, and Song Mu didn't intend to be too off-putting. This time, he only said that it would be helpful for him to trouble the people in Dali Temple to collect a lot of case files about this traitor in Chang'an.

"This matter is of course fine, I'll order someone to investigate, but Mr. Song, this case is important after all, you see, it's my Dali Temple..."

When Ruan Zhongjin said this, Song Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then felt sorry for it, but now he also grinned, and then spoke.

"This matter is not yet clear. Your Majesty and I must be very cautious in doing things and investigating cases, so..."

Song Mu naturally understood what Ruan Zhongjin meant, and it was a real credit for such a major case to be found out, and it was impossible for Song Mu to take it all on his own.

But Song Mu had to bite the bullet and refuse. This matter was too sensitive, and besides the identity of the other party, Song Mu could not tolerate random risks.

However, Master Ruan is considered reasonable, and he only nodded slightly this time, and did not ask too much.

Song Mu also sighed slightly after sending the other party away in this way. Sometimes he has to look forward and backward, even if he weighs it, it is also a headache.

However, the top priority is to sort out these files as soon as possible to find real evidence about this An Guogong.

After checking it one day, Song Mu went through a lot of files in his hand, but he didn't find any special clues. These things are mixed together, and it won't be a short while to sort them out.

Song Mu intends to find an opportunity to get to know Qing Tianwei, who is also investigating the case of the traitor in Chang'an, so there should be good news.

It's just that you have to think carefully about it, and don't point directly at An Guogong.

This silent battle has started since Song Mu asked this question, and now so much time has passed, although Song Mu knows who the culprit is, but if he really can't handle it, or all of this is done Obviously blatant, and immediately poked the opponent's sore spot...

This must be another bloodbath.

But all this can't be delayed for too long, Song Mu is also very anxious because of such constraints.

Song Mu was walking on the street, thinking so much at the moment, but suddenly heard a voice not far away calling himself, and it was Tan Weiyi who came.

Tan Weiyi seemed to have just left for a business trip, and now he walked quickly and cupped his hands towards Song Mu.

"Brother Song, I haven't seen you for a long time, can I have a drink?"

Song Mu shook his head, now that he is entangled in trifles, it is not Song Mu's style to drink away his worries.

But Song Mu felt Tan Weiyi's situation at the moment, so he asked.

"Brother Tan, what do you want to tell me?"

Seeing this, Tan Wei lowered his eyes and just sighed slightly. The two of them walked slowly on the street under the setting sun, and Tan Wei talked to Song Mu eloquently.

"To be honest, Brother Song, I really don't feel comfortable these two days."

"Brother Song, after you returned to Chang'an, do you know what happened in the court these few days?"

Song Mu paused slightly, but said calmly.

"Naturally, I know a little bit. His Majesty has dismissed several people. I heard that he has rarely reprimanded the court for disputes. It is indeed quite unpleasant to be in the court these few days."

"It's more than unpleasant."

Tan Weiyi said sadly, looking at Song Mu.

"Father had a big fight with Prime Minister Zuo again today, because Prime Minister Zuo impeached Father for using power for personal gain, and Father, this is the first time in many years that His Majesty has reprimanded him."

Hearing this, Song Mu's expression also changed slightly. Song Mu had only heard of what Tan Weiyi said, but Song Mu could immediately know what was going on from it.

His Majesty reprimanding Prime Minister Tan may also have something to do with his close relationship with An Guogong.

On weekdays, Tan Xiang and An Guogong have a good personal relationship. I think that when Song Mu visited for the first time, Tan Xiang was talking to An Guogong.

Even if it is innocent, but now that His Majesty knows this shocking news, he will definitely reveal it, but the way is quite oblique.

Tan Weiyi sighed again, but also looked at Song Mu.

"Brother Song, I'm here to complain today. My father has such a stubborn temper. When he gets angry, he won't talk to me. My mother will make wild guesses. In the end, I, a son, will go around in circles."

Song Mu was a little speechless when he heard these words, the matter of the court, in the end, it caused quite a discord in Tan Xiang's family.

However, Song Mu didn't dare to speak out about this matter, so he could only speak calmly this time.

"Brother Tan, perhaps His Majesty has considered the situation of the court in this matter. What Tan Xiang and Feng Xiang did was for the sake of the Wen Dynasty. If you want me to say it, doing nothing is nothing."

"There are some things, adults, they think about it, and there will be a result after all."

Tan Weiyi also nodded silently, and seemed to accept Song Mu's statement, so he changed the subject, dragging Song Mu to chat about some messy housework and trivial matters, and then they each went home.

On the second day, Song Mu was going to give lectures in the East Palace first, but when he got here, he saw Li Dong talking to two eunuchs. The eunuch was holding the scissors, but kept shaking his head, which made Li Dong sigh Again and again.

When Song Mu came to him, he saw one of Li Ao's sideburns, some of which were missing at some point, and the rest of his hair was curly, as if it had been scorched by fire.
