Chapter 403 What's the matter with me?

"Let me investigate this matter thoroughly?!" Xie Yuan looked at Shen Qingzhi with shock in his eyes, and said, "Master, I don't know how to investigate cases. How can this be done?"

Shen Qingzhi pressed his palm towards her, motioned her to sit down, and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient, just listen to me."

Xie Yuan could only sit down obediently.

Shen Qingzhi sighed, and said: "This matter can be big or small. If it's small, it's nothing. If it's big, it's very likely that blood will flow into rivers. After all, it concerns the dignity of the emperor and the entire royal family.

Didn't you see today, Your Majesty is in deep pain, and the person who is usually in a dilemma when choosing a jade pendant is about to go on a killing spree today, and let Ma Guogong take people to the market to kill people.I didn't even have a chance to persuade. "

Xie Yuan was puzzled and asked:
"Then... since it's such an important case, I shouldn't be allowed to go. I can lead troops to fight, fight and teach people how to learn martial arts. Why can't it be my turn to investigate the case?"

Shen Qingzhi frowned and said, "Why are you so anxious, I haven't finished my sentence yet... This matter is obviously manipulated by someone behind the scenes, what if it was manipulated by someone from the Ma family?"

When Xie Yuan heard this, his pupils fluttered, and he said, "I can't, I also read the words of the ballad, and their family made themselves into it to be humiliated?"

Shen Qingzhi said disapprovingly:

"You are still young, and you don't know that people's hearts are sinister, especially in the court. If it is for the prosperity and wealth of a clan or even several generations, what is it to lose face?"

Xie Yuan heard about it, looked at Shen's father with a complicated expression, and said:
"Master... I didn't know that you were well versed in court battles. It seems that Liu Zhen's cleverness didn't come out of thin air."

Shen Qingzhi stared at the boss with round eyes, and said:
"Nonsense, can he be the same as me?! I'm like a mirror in my heart, but I don't do that wicked thing.

As the old saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.You don't have to do it, but you can't understand it, otherwise, wouldn't you have to count the money if you were murdered? "

Xie Yuan pursed his lips and smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Master is right."

Shen Qingzhi gave her a helpless look, paused, and said, "You see, I forgot what I just said when you interrupted me."

Xie Yuan thought for a while and said, "I just said...maybe someone from the Ma family did it..."

Shen Qingzhi took over the words and said: "The reason why I asked you to take over the investigation of this matter is to prevent the Ma family from seizing this opportunity to frame you and me.

Regardless of whether it was made by their family or not, in short, in front of His Majesty today, he went for this purpose, hinting to His Majesty that it has something to do with you and me.

You also know that His Majesty is soft-hearted and angry. If you and I stay out of this matter, and you don’t know when, and you fall asleep in the middle of the night, the knife will be on your neck. "

After he finished speaking, he looked directly at Xie Yuan, and earnestly told her:

"Yuan'er, you have to put your heart into this matter, don't be sloppy. Even if you can't find out who did it, you can't let people point the finger at you and me, you know?"

Xie Yuansu's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "Understood, Master."

She paused for a moment, then faced another difficulty, and said, "...then I...then where do I start?"

Shen Qingzhi said: "It's okay, I'll send someone from Tingwei who can investigate the case to help you."

……

The square at the entrance of the market is usually a place where street performers or peddlers yell, but in the past few days it has been occupied by the imperial army, and people are pulled over every now and then to be whipped in public.

Sometimes a dozen or so people would be brought side by side to be tortured together. The beatings were bloody and bloody, and the screams kept coming and going. The scene was very cruel.

The crowd of onlookers was bustling, except for the family members of the tortured begging for mercy and crying, there were also those who were simply idle and watching the excitement.

While watching the tortured person unconsciously contorted, they couldn't move their eyes and watched with gusto.

A foreigner didn't know why, thinking that this was a crime, he generously pulled a spectator beside him and asked:
"What crime did they all commit?"

The man glanced at him and asked, "Don't you know the rumors going on these days?"

"I don't know, I just arrived in the capital..." the man said.

The spectator looked around the field, covered his mouth with his hand, moved close to the foreigner's ear, and said:

"It's rumors about Princess Guanzhen. They are all sang songs and were caught by reports. That's..."

"Hey! What are you talking about furtively?!"

They heard the shouts, turned around and saw a soldier of the Imperial Army standing guard beside the crowd, pointing at them and questioning them.

The person who spoke hastily put down his hand, and said with a smile:

"It's nothing... Lord Jun, he's a stranger asking for directions, I'll tell him."

"Fuck your mother, do you need to cover your mouth furtively when asking directions?! Catch him for me!"

As soon as the words fell, someone went into the crowd to catch them.

The two men ran away.But how did he escape the siege of officers and soldiers, and was pushed to the execution ground in a short while.

The arrested spectator never thought that even if he watched the excitement, he would suffer an indiscriminate disaster, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed indiscriminately, crying:

"My lord... I didn't say anything, I haven't sung that song, I don't know anything."

"You still dare to quibble?! Hit me!" the soldiers of the Imperial Army yelled angrily.

Say it.Two people stepped forward, dragged them and tied them to the bench at an extremely fast speed, and the whip came down with a "snap", and the spectator called "Mother", crying terribly.

This time, all the spectators were frightened, like frightened birds, they dragged and dispersed, afraid that they would also be dragged over and beaten by the imperial army for a reason.

I have whipped several people to death before...

Shen Liuzhen was sitting in the carriage in the distance, leaning his head against the window, just in time to see the movement here through the gap in the curtain.

At this moment, he snorted coldly and said:

"I don't know who came up with this bad idea, so let's do it now. There are still a few people who don't know, but it makes such a big noise, it's forcing everyone to know."

Liu Qinbing was also in the carriage at this time, because he was afraid that if he ran into Xie Yuan outside, he would be recognized again.

Looking at the miserable conditions of those people, Liu Qinbing couldn't help but glanced at the calm Shen Liuzhen with some complaints, and said:
"Look at you, what you did, ended up suffering ordinary people."

Shen Liuzhen took his eyes back, looked at Liu Qinbing very wronged, and said:
"Brother Liu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty ordered the beating. How can I control his stupid tricks? If you want to blame, you have to blame the little emperor. What does it matter to me?"

Liu Qinbing was at a loss for words, and couldn't think of anything to refute for a while, so he could only stare at Shen Liuzhen unconvinced.
