Chapter 368 There is a case in the case ([-])

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: I was surprised to hear that something happened in Dongling, and I was very worried. I wrote Dorobel Hongqing and Qi Shiwu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to investigate the matter thoroughly immediately. It is not in vain or indulgence. I admire this!"

The emperor's mausoleum is the top priority of the country, and it has always been the case in all dynasties. Although Mr. Kangxi is a sage monarch, he is no exception. Hearing that there may be water seepage in the emperor's mausoleum, he will not let it go lightly, and his will is very fast. In just six days, the imperial decree had already been passed to Hong Qing's hands, and it was the 29th of the new year. Even so, Hong Qing did not dare to ignore it, and led the team to the outside of the cemetery again. , summoned Chunhui, Mu Chun'a and others, and read out the old man's imperial edict according to the script.

"The ministers and others take the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

No matter what the old man said, no matter what thoughts Chunhui and the others had in mind, the etiquette of thanking them was absolutely necessary.

"My lords, the Holy Majesty's will has been made very clear. This matter must be dealt with quickly and strictly. If that's the case, why don't I go into the garden and investigate it?"

Even though she had the imperial decree, Hongqing did not put on a domineering posture, nor did she pursue the fault of Chunhui and Mu Chun'a who sent troops to stop her a few days ago, but made a suggestion with a smile.

"Qing Baylor is right, please."

Although six days is not a long time, it can be used to cover up the truth, at least in Chunhui's opinion, Chunhui has shown himself to be extremely confident, without any doubts. He waved his hand at Hong Qing hesitantly, making a gesture of respectful invitation.

"Well, Qi Shangshu, what do you think?"

Facing Chunhui's hospitality, Hong Qing did not leave in a hurry, but nodded approvingly, looked sideways at Qi Shiwu with a gloomy complexion, and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty has no objection."

Qi Shiwu has been very quiet these days, staying in his tent all the time, that is to say, when the imperial decree arrived today, he just followed the brigade to announce the decree. Now facing Hong Qing's kind inquiries, he didn't care much. The performance of being flattered, just bowed his body, and answered with a blank expression.

"Well, it's not too late, I'll enter the garden right away."

Hong Qing is the chief envoy and the most popular Baylor. Regardless of her status or status, she is much higher than Qi Shiwu. Asking his opinion is just a formality. Now that Qi Shiwu answered in this way, Hong Qing is too lazy Duo Lahao, with a wave of his hand, gave the order with pride, and led a group of people, accompanied by Chun, Mu and others, marched into the cemetery...

The imperial mausoleum is very large, and there are many buildings. The amount of work is not small, but after all, it has been built for more than forty years. The main part of the ground has basically been completed, and the rest are mostly manual repairs and maintenance. The only exception is the underground palace, probably because this part is often the last part of the construction, nothing else, just to keep it secret-no emperor hopes that his safe place after death will be visited by thieves, the layout of the underground palace And the layout of the organs is the secret of the secrets. Under normal circumstances, the emperor will make arrangements before his death. Now, the old man is fifty-five years old. This mental disorder led to the idea of ​​building an underground palace. For this reason, Chunhui was specially ordered to recruit nearly ten thousand people in Hebei to do this. The construction period was set very tight. I couldn't be free, and I was still busy on the construction site. The huge cemetery was full of busyness and tension.

"Did Mr. Chun do a good job? Wanyu Minzhuang arranged things in an orderly manner, which is really rare."

Although Hong Qing and the others came to investigate the case, it was impossible for them to act swiftly and resolutely as soon as they came up. No, after a quick tour of the cemetery, all the people arrived at the guard as the guard. In the temporary hall, Bu Yi took their seats, and Hong Qing praised Chunhui as if setting the tone.

"Qing Bei Le has praised you absurdly. Since the subordinate official is on a mission according to the order, he dare not live up to His Majesty's great trust and perform his duties."

After the narration a few days ago, Chunhui already knew Hongqing's original intention of not wanting to make a big fuss about the Emperor's Mausoleum. At this moment, when he heard that Hongqing had given an affirmative tone when he came up, he was overjoyed, so he hurried A few polite words.

"Duty? Master Chun knows his duty, why didn't he tell the truth about the water seepage in the underground palace, huh?"

As soon as Chunhui finished speaking, before Hongqing could say something, Qi Shiwu interrupted in a sinister way.

"What does Shangshu Qi mean by this? I really don't know what your lord is referring to?"

Over the years, although Chunhui has been in the imperial mausoleum for a long time, he seldom returned to the court, but after all, he is a servant of the emperor's sect, so the news will not be concealed, and he still has a certain understanding of various things in the court, so he knows Qi Shiwu This prince's buddy came with bad intentions, and now seeing him come up to be held accountable, I was really upset, but Qi Shiwu's position is high and powerful, and he is the deputy envoy of this trip, even if Chunhui was angry, he didn't dare to explode on the spot, so he could only He bowed his hands towards Qi Shiwu in a dazed state, and asked back with a face full of injustice.

"Master Chun, don't pretend to be confused. This official trip is to thoroughly investigate the water seepage in the underground palace. If you do it right away, there is still room for discussion. If not, it will be too late to regret it!"

Qi Shiwu came here under the secret order of the crown prince, and he intended to stir up trouble, so he couldn't be moved by Chunhui's innocence, so he scolded him again unceremoniously.

"Hai Han, Lord Qi, is a dull official. I really don't know where the things Lord Qi said come from. Since I was ordered to supervise the construction of the emperor's mausoleum, I have been conscientious and conscientious. I dare not make any mistakes. Everything I do can stand Since the investigation, I have never heard of any reports of water seepage in the underground palace, this one, the lower officials can guarantee their lives, and please don't listen to the villain's slander, Mr. Qi."

Chunhui has made a lot of preparations in private in the past few days. He thinks that he is enough to deal with all kinds of inspections. With the bottom line in his heart, when Qi Shiwu is held accountable, he responds fluently, and his confidence is beyond words.

"Bold, you dare to make lies and sophistry in front of me, you are really rebellious!"

Hearing what Chunhui said, Qi Shiwu immediately jumped into a rage, opening his mouth unceremoniously to scold him.

"Qing Baylor, look at this..."

Even if Chunhui was angry, he would not dare to confront Qi Shiwu endlessly on the spot. In desperation, he had no choice but to cast his eyes on Qi Shiwu for help. On Hong Qing's body.

"It can't be true, it can't be false, and it can't be true. If Mr. Chun is confident that there is nothing wrong with the job, he will not be in danger of inspection. After all, everything must be based on facts. It is useless to argue. Everything will be discussed after the inspection. alright."

Although Hongqing wanted to suppress the water seepage in the underground palace, but as an imperial envoy after all, it was impossible for her to be manipulated by others in such a public place, let alone support Chunhui blatantly. Because of this, no matter how resentful Chunhui's eyes are, Hong Qing will not be moved by it, she just chuckled lightly, and spoke a lot of nonsense in a moderate tone.

"Qing Baylor's words are true. This case has been delayed for several days. If the truth is not investigated early, His Majesty's office will not be able to explain it. According to the officials, it is not too late. A thorough investigation should be carried out today."

Hong Qing spoke impartially, but Qi Shiwu deliberately misinterpreted it, but seeing that he cupped his hands towards Hong Qing, he quickly grabbed the conversation, and impatiently suggested that the case should be handled immediately.

"Well, that's fine, let's get started."

As soon as Qi Shiwu's impatient suggestion came out, although Hong Qing's face remained calm, she felt a sudden shock in her heart. She had vaguely guessed something, and deliberately delayed it, but Qi Shiwu's words were all right. , at least in terms of righteousness, even if Hong Qing is the main envoy, it is difficult to say anything against it, and in desperation, she can only nod her head and agree.

"Qing Baylor is wise."

What Qi Shiwu wanted was Hong Qing's statement. As for how the inspection should be carried out, he didn't want to do it for him. He just praised him and stepped aside.

Hmm, this old boy is really a difficult master!

As soon as Qi Shiwu stopped speaking, the doubts in Hong Qing's heart suddenly deepened, and he understood Qi Shiwu's sinister intentions in an instant. If Hongqing dared to openly favoritism, Qi Shiwu would definitely have someone behind him. At that time, a charge of dereliction of duty would be charged. Undoubtedly, this is what Qi Shiwu came up with, which forced Hongqing to seriously investigate the water seepage case. The question is whether Chunhui's cover-up work these days can withstand strict investigation. It's hard to say, at least Hong Qing himself is not too optimistic.

"My lords, Ben Baylor came here this time to thoroughly investigate the case of water seepage. If there is any disturbance, he will be charged first."

Although Hong Qing kept thinking about it, she never brought it to her face, and she was not in a hurry to order a thorough investigation. Instead, she politely bowed to Chun Hui and the others, and put aside a scene first. .

"Don't dare, don't dare, if Qing Baylor has any orders, please speak up, the officials and others should try their best to cooperate."

As soon as Hong Qing said this, Chun Hui and the others dared not be careless, and returned their salutes in a hurry, not even daring to say anything.

"Well, let's not gossip, let's get back to business. Ben Baylor has a charter here, so please think about it carefully. If you don't have any objections, then follow it. Well, this time is thorough. The key to finding out is in the underground palace, so Ben Baylor plans to divide everyone into six groups, and divide the work into one group..."

In the past few days, Hong Qing has done her homework, and she has already prepared a thorough investigation. Now that she is about to start, she is very clear, and all the officials are nodding their heads incessantly. With people's objections, the thorough investigation procedure has been finalized, and the rest depends on the results of the inspection...
