Chapter 517 Brain Supplement
Li Qing was inexplicably anxious. From her point of view, Xuan Qingwei and the Chief Case Department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are two lines that she does not want to cross. She even looks down on Xuan Qingwei's "black skin" who handles cases with privileges.
This time, when Li Qing knew that Xuan Qingwei was involved, she had been guarding against him all the time. In addition, she hated that surnamed Shen who was pretending to be a fool. She always felt that these people were either here to take credit, or Just to make trouble. After all, Xuan Qingwei and the dead Qin Xiuyuan had Liang Zi, hadn't this been rumored for a long time?
Now, by chance, I actually found the problem!
The adjutant Xuan Qingwei surnamed Wang was actually recording the situation at the scene of the crime. Isn't this just doing something? Li Qing even felt that this was a sign that the other party wanted to take credit from the Ministry of Criminal Justice! If it is really here to "assist in the investigation", what is the use of this?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Li Qing hurried back to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, trotting and knocking on Xue Gui's office.
"How many times have I told you, what are you doing in such a panic?" Although Xue Gui's voice was still hoarse, it seemed that he was a little softer when talking to Li Qing.
"My lord, I, I will remember next time." Li Qing's originally impetuous mood calmed down after seeing Xue Gui's "iron face", and she stopped panicking.
Xue Gui looks like an "iron face" and should not be approached by strangers, but he takes good care of himself as an adjutant, and anyone who is familiar with him knows that this adult has an "iron face" that looks scary, but in fact has a good personality get along.
"Tell me, what happened? Didn't you ask you to go to Shouwang's mansion to settle the knot?"
"My lord, I just came back from Shouwang Mansion. I didn't finish it, because I found some new things and came back to report to you."
Xue Gui shook his head, the corner of his mouth seemed to be smiling: "Tell me, what did you find?"
"It's those Xuanqing guards. I found that they made a "record of the situation of the incident" in Shouwang Mansion, and they did it in detail. Not only the location of the Qin Mansion, but also a sketch description of the scene of the corpse. In addition, I tried the person Shen Hao's adjutant, he also said that the first volume of our case was very rough, and did not rule out the possibility that Qin Xiuyuan ate and died in Shouwang's mansion, and asked for a new autopsy."
Li Qing told what she saw in Shouwang Mansion, and then she saw Xue Gui who was writing at the desk in front of her stopped the pen in her hand and raised her head.
Xue Gui asked: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, my lord. Xuan Qingwei's Adjutant Wang was drawing a picture. I deliberately covered my footsteps and breath and approached. I happened to see the picture in his hand, as well as some descriptions. The method in the record is the same. And they clearly used words such as "Shouwangfu".
My lord, do you think these Xuanqing guards are planning to make trouble? "In the last sentence, Li Qing still couldn't help expressing her opinion.
Xue Gui put down the pen in his hand. Although he couldn't see his face, his eyes were a little more serious. Yesterday's "confrontation" with Shen Hao let him know that he was facing a difficult and evil person. He simply thought that the other party was planning to take the right to host the case, but now that he heard the news of Li Qing's return, he had to think deeper.
Xue Gui was very puzzled, and the higher-ups of the Ministry of Criminal Justice gave him a wake-up call: Try to avoid Shouwang Mansion as much as possible.
It stands to reason that the Ministry of Criminal Justice is so taboo about Shou Wang being involved in the case, shouldn't people like Xuan Qingwei be avoided? Could it be that when you want to be right with the civil servant group, you have to tear your face with Shou Wang at the same time?
This doesn't seem to make sense.
Xue Gui's status in the Criminal Department is not low all the year round, and he is not rigid. He has a good relationship with the high-level members of the Criminal Department and has received many points. Knowing that the current atmosphere in the imperial court is not right, whether it is the civil servants, the military, or the Xuan Qingwei, they all have some taboos towards the princes. If there is no other way, no one wants to simply choose someone to stand in the team.
Even King Shou's helping Qin Xiuyuan this time is considered to be an active gesture to the civil official group. As a reward, how to repay the identity of the longevity king Xue Gui is still unknown.
What about Xuan Qingwei? Didn't you say "lonely minister"? Whether good or bad, you should keep your distance from the prince, right?
Thinking of yesterday's smiling face and those eyes like poisonous snakes in his heart, Xue Gui's mind gradually became more complex.
Delaying the life of the king into the water. Alluding to the criminal department's poor handling of the case and flattering the prince, he insisted on leaving a preliminary case yesterday. If this is the case, the criminal department will definitely not be able to avoid the sponsorship of the final case if the dirty water is poured over.
This thread seemed to become clearer, and Xue Gui's face under the mask became more and more ugly.
Xuan Qingwei really didn't come to be a human being, he was really holding back!
But what to do?
From Xue Gui's point of view, Xuan Qingwei's plans were mostly conceived by that "evil star" surnamed Shen. This person is really worthy of so many rumors outside, he is indeed powerful. But so what? Now it was a coincidence that Li Qing broke through, otherwise it is really hard to say whether she will be swindled by the other party.
"You ask the people below to keep an eye on Shouwang's mansion, mainly the people of Xuan Qingwei. Watch Qin Xiuyuan's body closely, and absolutely don't let Xuan Qingwei's people touch it."
"But my lord, in this weather, the corpse won't last long. Do you think it was burned directly?" Li Qing's thoughts were simple and in accordance with the rules. The corpse that was originally "poisoned and died" could be burned directly. In this way, it would be impossible for Xuan Qingwei to sit down on the "preliminary case".
Xue Gui shook his head and said no without much consideration. It's better not to decide this kind of thing lightly. An oversight can be a big deal.
Qin Xiuyuan is a direct descendant of the household servant Youshilang's family, his body will not go into the ground, so you burned it? In addition, how do the adults in the Ministry of Punishment look at this matter? There is still no conclusion. Burning the body will lose one option.
"Keep it. You go to the warehouse to apply for some Binglai Township, and it will be no problem to keep it for two or three days."
"It's stinky. Good sir, this subordinate obeys."
Here, Li Qing hastily took orders to run an errand, and Xue Gui was not in the mood to continue sitting in the office to deal with official business. After tidying up his mood, he walked out of the office after making a draft in his heart, and went to find his Shangfeng Ma Xuanlin. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment still had to make up his mind.
But when Li Qing and Xue Gui were busy killing Xuan Qingwei's conspiracy in the cradle, Wang Yiming and several other rough guys from Xuan Qingwei were performing a very delicate performance in Shou Wang's mansion. The purpose is to show the "copies" that were driven out yesterday to the inner guards of the palace in an "accidental" way.
Whether the two parties can form a joint force in the end depends partly on Wang Yiming's acting skills and partly on luck.
