Chapter 11
After Jiang Xiyuan finished speaking, Su Zhen raised his head and said, "It seems that you have been doing well in the Ministry of Punishment. You have made such progress in just a few months. I have buried you in the past."

As soon as Jiang Xiyuan heard it, he stood up from the stool and knelt down, "Your Majesty, forgive me, this is not what I analyzed, and I have no intention of deceiving."

Su Zhen smiled inexplicably, "Xiyuan, you and I grew up together, if I don't know what you know, how would I dare to trust you." He raised his hand, "Get up and talk."

Jiang Xiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, the suspicious points mentioned by the minister just now were actually analyzed by a handyman in the Shihua Pavilion and said to the humble minister."

"The handyman?" Su Zhen frowned slightly, and then as if it was a matter of course, he suddenly remembered the person he had met before, and asked, "What is the handyman like?"

"About fourteen or fifteen years old, quite thin, and quite handsome. It's a pity that I didn't open the Nanfeng Pavilion, and he was really buried as a handyman."

When Su Zhen heard this, his heart became more determined, "What you said just now were all said by that handyman?"

"Except for the speculation about Feng Buyun, most of the analysis about the case was said by the handyman. It may not be impossible for others to analyze what he said, but his analysis is very fast and very organized, not like a novice. I don’t know why I am willing to be a handyman.”

Su Zhen pondered for a moment, then tapped lightly on the couch table with his fingers, "I need you to make a big deal out of this case and bring Wu Zonghuai into it. Can you do it?"

"Big trouble?" Jiang Xiyuan thought for a while, and immediately understood Su Zhen's meaning, and said with a little hesitation, "Jing Zhaoyin is in charge of the case in the capital city, and it is inconvenient to intervene until it is reported to the former Ministry of Criminal Justice. Besides, the dossier submitted by Feng Buyun must be a confession. The evidence is complete, and I am afraid it will be very difficult for the minister to overthrow it at that time..."

Su Zhen waved his hand, "He checks his, you check yours. The official process is like this, but you don't have to do it after this. Xiyuan, you are not such a rigid person."

Jiang Xiyuan rolled his eyes, then smiled, "I understand."

Su Zhen stood up, walked to the Longshu case and took the notebook casually, "Wu Zonghuai has become more and more daring recently, as slippery as a loach, this case comes at the right time."

Su Zhen was tired of Wu Zonghuai.

He wanted to implement a new evaluation method for officials, but Wu Zonghuai and a group of veteran officials rejected it. He said that the evaluation method implemented by the late emperor was only a few years old, and foreign officials had just become familiar with the procedures. It is not appropriate to adjust it at this time. To Xu Tuzhi, he also said that because the common man Su Yi implicated a group of officials to dismount, the official department was short of manpower at this time, etc., etc., all in all: no!
Su Zhen's heart was like a bright mirror, how could there be such a mess of reasons, Wu Zonghuai just didn't want him to train his own officials so quickly.Without new officials, Su Zhen would have to point to these old officials to work, and Wu Zonghuai was just trying to seize power.

This is not once or twice, if he doesn't kick Wu Zonghuai from this position, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not know who paid the salary!

Jiang Xiyuan walked to Su Zhen's side, "The emperor has other orders. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Su Zhen nodded, and before Jiang Xiyuan could reach the door, Su Zhen stopped him again, "If that handyman is useful, you can use it, and pay attention by the way."

Jiang Xiyuan smiled and nodded, "I also have this intention, and I also want to see where this handyman came from."

It will be dark when Jiang Xiyuan returns to the flower planting hall. In the past, the flower planting hall has already started to prepare for business at this time, but today it is quiet, and the bright red light at the door is now dusty and gently swaying in the wind.

Jiang Xiyuan looked at it from a distance, shook his head depressedly, turned into the alley, and went directly into the backyard through the side door.

The backyard was no longer as busy as usual. The cook, the handyman, the woman in charge, and a few tea servings were all piled up in the yard, chatting and dazed.

Someone with sharp eyes saw Jiang Xiyuan coming in, so he stood up. The tea service in the front yard had eyesight, and he went up to him and said, "Master Jiang? Why did you come in here?"

"I don't see any lights in the front yard."

The tea servant sighed, "I got up early today and the government brought people to seal the building, and even Nine Girls were taken away. Alas, it's really bad luck. You said it's not good where Mr. Gong died, and our Flower Planting House Who are you messing with?"

Jiang Xiyuan said loudly in his heart: That's what you said!

"The girls on the floor are all prostitutes, and they can't leave anyway, but they are at ease. Those handymen who do odd jobs have left for several times. It is hard for those of us who signed the contract of life to leave. No, who knows if this planting flower shop will open one day."

When Jiang Xiyuan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "All the servants left?"

"No, there are a few left."

"Where's that thin and handsome handyman? It's the one in Yayuan last night."

Cha Feng thought for a while, "You mean Xia Chu? The one who has a good relationship with Li Erping, right? He didn't leave, he went out this morning, and when he came back, he and Ruan Xi stayed in the elegant courtyard, I don't know what they were doing. "

early summer?This name is also a bit feminine, but it suits his appearance.

Jiang Xiyuan nodded to the tea service, and walked towards the elegant courtyard. As soon as he entered the elegant courtyard, he saw Xia Chu and the tea service named Ruan Xi sitting in the veranda. .

"Brother Xia?" Jiang Xiyuan called her, and Xia Chu looked up to see that it was Jiang Xiyuan, and immediately stood up, "Master Jiang, is there any news? How is Li Erping?"

"I'm from the Ministry of Punishment, not from the government office." Jiang Xiyuan reiterated again.

"Oh." Xia Chu nodded, leaning sideways on the pillar lazily.

Ruan Xi ran up to Jiang Xiyuan, knelt down with a bang, and kowtowed three times, "My lord, my lord! You are the master of Erping! She didn't kill people, Erping won't kill people! Erping is a good man!" Girl, my lord!"

Jiang Xiyuan didn't comment, but just looked at Xia Chu again, and then looked at Ruan Xi on the ground. In comparison, she felt that she was not like an ordinary handyman.

"What are you doing here?"

"Restore the scene of the crime and see if we can find more clues."

"The results of it?"

Xia Chu glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "You are from the Ministry of Punishment, not from the government office. Is it useful to tell you?"

Jiang Xiyuan laughed angrily at her, "If you don't say it, don't say it. You can go to the government office to play drums around noon tomorrow, maybe Mr. Feng is willing to listen." After finishing speaking, he made a gesture to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Xia Chu took a step forward.

"Changed your mind?" Jiang Xiyuan turned around.

Xia Chu nodded, "I've changed my mind. It was the little one who spoke rudely just now. Please forgive me, Mr. Jiang."

"Oh." Jiang Xiyuan casually smoothed his cuffs, "You have repeatedly spoken rudely, so why should I forgive you again and again? You should stay and talk to Jing Zhaoyin."

Xia Chu looked at him, not in a hurry.On the contrary, Jiang Xiyuan saw some smiles in her eyes, with a bit of sarcasm in her determination.It made Jiang Xiyuan a little uncertain.
