Your Majesty is so cute

Chapter 134 Old Lawsuit
Master Yan was looking at Dong Lie who came inexplicably with a strange expression.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still respectfully offered tea and asked politely: "I don't know what the lord came here suddenly, what is the so-called? Is it for a change of defense? Or the West Street murder entrusted to the lord by the king of Dongjiang?"

Dong Lie shook his head and said, "Neither, but there is a lawsuit many years ago. I want to ask Mr. Yan. I also ask Mr. Yan to enlighten me."

Lord Yan was even more surprised, but he still asked: "Tell me, if the old minister knows, he will definitely tell the prince the truth.

"My lord, do you still remember the case about five or six years ago? I heard that a female corpse in red clothes floated up from the bottom of the lake, and was suppressed by Wang Shizi's father, who was the prince at the time. An unsolved case?" Dong Lie asked.

Lord Yan paused for a moment, his face was not very good-looking, obviously, he remembered.Said: "Yes, there is such a case. However, this case is actually a case of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I only heard that soldiers were sent to assist, but I don't know the details. I don't know what the prince wants to ask?"

Dong Lie said: "I want to ask, this case involved the son of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Ruifeng?"

"My lord is right. My lord also knows that although the officials of the Eastern Xinjiang Dynasty are not divided into many departments, only divided into six or seven departments such as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, each yamen has different ranks. It sounds very complicated. Take the Ministry of Criminal Justice for example. The Ministry of Criminal Justice is in charge of the recorded cases of the Eastern Xinjiang Dynasty. Each level in it is different. The institution is like a pool of deep water, and people outside are untouchable. Even if you ask people inside the Criminal Department about this matter, those who have not been in touch with this case probably know little about it, let alone me from the Ministry of War. Lord Yan said helplessly: "So if the prince wants to know the details, I can ask someone to inquire about it, but it's hard to say how much we can know."

Dong Lie was not surprised, and said: "This king also expected it. I have been back to Dongjiang for less than a year, but I have heard about this case, especially when I was in the Xishan gymnasium. That young master, Haven't you seen the female ghost in red before? That's why I feel a little strange at this time. But I'm also prepared to ask nothing. After all, if you want to ask clearly about a case that was deliberately suppressed, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find it. Recording is difficult."

Mr. Yan touched his chin, nodded in agreement and said, "That's true, especially the Ministry of Punishment, which is even more complicated. It is difficult to know more. But why did the prince suddenly want to ask about this unjust case? But because the prince's investigation What is involved in the case?"

Dong Lie nodded without staying longer, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "It is indeed involved, but it has not been checked clearly, so naturally I dare not draw any conclusions. Now in the court, the only person I think I can rely on is Master Yan. Yes. If Master Yan can find out anything, please be sure to tell this king.”

"Naturally, my lord." Lord Yan also got up, and after sending Dong Lie out, he was alone in the hall, meditating.

Madam Yan walked into the hall with some hot pastries, put them on the table, and looked at Master Yan with a smile.

Maybe it's because her child's health has improved a lot, and the haze on Madam Yan's face all year round has disappeared completely.

Master Yan was watched by Mrs. Yan, and unconsciously lowered his head to look at his clothes. There was nothing wrong with the neat clothes, and asked suspiciously: "What are you looking at, Madam?"

"Of course I'm looking at my master." Mrs. Yan is a smart woman, she continued: "Is the master hesitating, hesitating, should I tell the prince everything I know?"

Master Yan sighed, sat on the chair, pulled his wife onto his lap, felt the familiar smell, and said shallowly: "Yes, but, madam, don't forget that our current disasters are all It was because of that incident, as a husband, I was really, really scared."

"I'm afraid. The master is not afraid. If it wasn't because of me and the children who dragged the master down, how could the master be afraid?" Madam Yan couldn't help but lowered her head, pretending to be sad.

"No, ma'am, I absolutely don't mean that." Mr. Yan was even more flustered when he saw that Mrs. Yan seemed to be crying.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yan raised her head suddenly, and said solemnly: "Since the master is not afraid, then say it. I believe the prince will find out. Besides, the master, don't forget, isn't there Fu Jiulang behind the prince? If this case If I don't check it out for a day, not only the master will not feel at ease, but neither will I. For the sake of the former child, the master must think clearly."

Master Yan watched Madam Yan's rapid face change, and knew that she was doing it for her own good, but she was in deep thought while laughing and crying.

I have participated in this case myself, and I have been involved in it before I know how weird it is behind this case!

Even if it's Dong Lie, even Fu Jiujun, can they really solve it?

As soon as Dong Lie came out of Mr. Yan's mansion, he brought Shao An to Fu Jiujun's mansion non-stop. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Fu Jiujun flipping a book in the room, and warm food was already set on the table.

Seeing that they were all Dong Lie's favorite food, Dong Lie unceremoniously threw away his coat, sat on the table, started to eat, and said while eating: "Fu Jiulang, what do you think of Aunt Fu's craftsmanship? Is it so much better than the cook in my palace?"

Fu Jiujun put down his books and said: "It's all simple tea and light food. The prince has eaten the delicacies of mountains and seas for a long time, so he naturally thinks that the simple tea and light food are delicious." After speaking, he looked up at Shao An who was standing beside him and said: "Shao An's guard, the next door has also prepared your food , I'll let Old Man Fu take you there."

Dong Lie nodded before Shao An left.

There were still only two people left in the room, and if Xiao Hua who was sleeping was included, there would be three people.

Fu Jiujun looked at Dong Lie and said, "How, how is your matter going?"

Dong Lie put down the pancakes in his hand, and said, "I went to Mr. Yan's place. Mr. Yan didn't say much, I don't know, Fu Jiulang still remembers that red-clothed female ghost we saw when we went to the Xishan gymnasium before?" ?”

Fu Jiujun nodded.Dong Lie continued: "When I came to Dongjiang, I heard about a headless case, about five or six years ago, the body of a girl in red was found on the lake, and it was later found to be a girl who disappeared in the city. Later, I don’t know why, but it was said that some strange powers were involved, so the Ministry of Criminal Justice let it go. In addition, the victims of this case were ordinary people, so naturally they were not reported to the court. They were suppressed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.”

Fu Jiujun nodded, and said: "The punishment department of the Eastern Xinjiang Dynasty was divided into grades, from officials, officials in charge, in charge of the department, in charge of the government, chief in charge of officials, and then in charge of affairs. Officials are assistants who do miscellaneous work, and officials in charge begin. Accepted cases, but they were all small cases in the streets. The director took over the relatively large homicide cases in Lin'an City, and it only started to involve officials or major cases submitted by the prefectures from above. Therefore, this case , should be within the scope of the Ministry of Punishment."

Dong Lie nodded and said: "Indeed, this case was indeed taken over by the director at the time. However, according to the passage of time, if the director of the year did not die or return to his hometown, he should have been mixed up in the Sifu or a larger one. As for the position, it is not easy to ask them clearly."

Fu Jiujun put down the book in his hand, poured himself a cup of warm tea, and said, "It's impossible. This criminal department is layered on top of each other, and it's tightly wrapped inside and out. Let alone you, even if the king of Dongjiang wants to do it." Clearly, it's not easy."

Dong Lie nodded, sighed and said: "This job is really not easy. If you want to find out about the case back then, I'm afraid you have to wait." Dong Lie looked at Fu Jiujun, and said helplessly: "When Master Yan is willing to speak, We're only going to know the details."

"Oh, the prince is so sure, what will Lord Yan say?"

"Of course, let's not say that Mr. Yan was the only one who participated in this case besides the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Besides, Fu Jiulang, don't forget that the matter of Mr. Yan's child being bewitched is more or less related to this incident. Master Yan, why don't you say it?" Dong Lie said: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's really hard to be a human being."

"The difficulty is not being a man, but being a son, and being the son of a king." Fu Jiujun chuckled lightly.

Dong Lie laughed loudly: "Well, on the way I just came, the second brother's soldiers have already started patrolling. As the emperor's son, don't you have to have such awareness and actions?" Then he suppressed his smile, Said: "Fu Jiulang, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Fu Jiujun looked at Dong Lie, and said with a smile: "It's the same as the prince thought, and I will go to the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow, so I will naturally have a direction."

"Hahaha, you really deserve to be a bosom friend!"

"..."

"Shao An, go back to the mansion. In order not to waste, I'll pack all of Fu Jiulang's dishes along the way. Hahaha."

"..."

"Fu Jiulang, don't mind."

".....do not mind."
