Chapter 518 Jump

"boom!"

The new tea table in Yang Lin's study room was rotten again, it was broken all over the floor, and the set of tea sets on the ground had to be replaced with new ones. The staff at the side thought it was a pity that the tea set was worth five thousand taels, so it was gone

"Are you sure you read it right?" After Yang Lin smashed the tea table, his anger subsided a little, and he looked at not the aide but a royal guard who came to report the news to him.

"Yes, my lord, I have seen it with my own eyes."

"What the hell! These civil servants are shameless! How dare they tease the king like this!" Even though he suppressed his voice, he couldn't hide the anger that came out of his throat, which was cold and even murderous.

The guard was a little apprehensive, not knowing whether he had made a contribution this time or was annoying, so he stood with his head down and his hands tied, not daring to say anything.

On the contrary, the staff at the side glanced at King Shou who was still angry and probably couldn't keep his head clear, and turned to ask the inner guard, "Please explain the situation at that time carefully."

"Yes. At that time, the adjutant named Wang Yiming was writing and drawing on a stack of paperwork for a long time, and he was gesturing to the house. I wondered what he was doing. Later, one of his companions brought oil tea at noon, and he turned his head to pick it up. He stained his clothes and went to the sink to wash them, and he put the stack of documents on the table. I quickly went up and flipped through a few pages, and saw what I just said."

"Camellia oleifera stains the clothes to wash?" The staff frowned slightly, pondered for a while and asked, "How long have you been watching?"

"It took about five or six breaths before and after. The adjutant named Wang Yiming reacted very quickly. He thought about the paperwork and turned around to get it without washing the oil tea on his body. Fortunately, I heard his footsteps and walked away early, otherwise I would be arrested. Straight ahead." The inner defender was sure that he was not noticed by his quick movements.

However, the staff was not at ease, and still frowned: "Are you sure you saw rubbings? There is also a clear signature of Xue Gui, the chief case officer of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Although the time is short, the rubbings are still recognizable, and it's the kind of paper with Xuan Qingwei's dark pattern, and the final signature is also very clear."

The staff member nodded, without saying a word, but called someone outside the door, and asked someone to bring a copper bar, which was a routine note from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to the palace last year, and the place where the note was signed was the chief case officer. Xue Gui.

"Look at this again, is it the same as the signature you saw before?"

The inner guard nodded after careful identification: "It's exactly the same, I can't make a mistake."

Then the staff handed over their hands so that the inner guard could go down. The inner guard glanced at Yang Lin, then bowed and bowed before retreating.

After that, there was silence in the study room, only the sound of Yang Lin's panting gradually subsided. After his mood stabilized, Yang Lin sat back on the chair again, and said, "What do you think? This seems a bit strange."

"My lord, you heard what the inner guard said just now, unless the inner guard was lying, he did read the first volume of the "Qin Xiuyuan case" in Xuan Qingwei's hands.

According to the previous news, Qin Xiuyuan's death was investigated by the Department of Major Cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Xuan Qingwei dispatched Shen Hao, Deputy Qianhu of the Black Banner Battalion of Fengri City, to assist. Therefore, the first volume of the case should be drafted by Xue Gui, the chief officer of the major case department. Now that the inner guard has recognized Xue Gui's signature, it also shows the credibility of what he saw. "

Yang Lin shook his head: "It is impossible for the inner guards to lie, they are absolutely loyal to the royal family." After a pause, he continued: "In your opinion, this is true? But the civil servants have no reason to involve this king, right? What good will it do them? Which prince would dare to get close to them after such a rebellion, and in the end no matter who gets the position, will they be able to do well?"

The aide thought about his words before saying: "My lord, in fact, this matter is also strange to my subordinates. But the strange thing is not why the Criminal Department did this, but that there is something wrong with Xuan Qingwei's adjutant, who can get things like the first volume of the case. Missed? Although he reacted quickly, it is still unreasonable. It is rumored that the Black Flag Camp is the elite of the elite, and Shen Hao is also a rumored harsh person. Will his subordinates be so negligent?"

"You mean this is a conspiracy by Xuan Qingwei? Sow discord between me and the Ministry of Punishment?"

"It's just that there is a possibility. Otherwise, the subordinates feel that Xuan Qingwei's people will not be negligent in this regard."

"Then what if your guess is wrong? Is it possible that the Ministry of Criminal Justice is planning to drag me into the water?" Yang Lin doesn't like to jump to conclusions easily, especially when he finds it unpleasant. What does it mean not to be negligent like this? From Yang Lin's point of view, the previous behavior of the adjutant surnamed Wang was normal. On the contrary, he thinks that the staff thinks too much.

In the final analysis, Yang Lin's instinctive choice between the staff and his own inner guards is to believe in the inner guards who are absolutely loyal to him, not his own staff.

But what Yang Lin asked was not wrong, what if the staff guessed wrong? Is there really no possibility of the Criminal Department dragging him into the water?

You must know that once it is written in the dossier, a hat of "harboring fugitives" will definitely be put on his head, which is simply a terrible thing in such a sensitive period. God knows what the emperor will think of him after he bears this stain, and what the watching forces around him will think of him.

There is no need for the emperor to hold him accountable. Once Yang Lin loses external help when accumulating power because he is "unfavorable", what qualifications does he have to participate in the subsequent battle for the throne?

The staff thought it through, and continued: "My lord, in fact, you are right. Normally, it looks like the Ministry of Punishment, or the civil servants, there is no possibility of dragging you into trouble, because it is not good for them." Turn: "However, if Xuan Qingwei is added in, the situation will be different."

Yang Lin frowned deeply, and listened to the staff continue without saying a word.

"Xuan Qingwei and you and the civil servants are not dealing with it. Qin Xiuyuan this time was originally the most direct means for them to wash away the stains on their bodies, and it is simple. You only need to grab Qin Xiuyuan and pry open his mouth to admit that the previous news is from Qin. It is enough to pass it on from family to family, so that the matter can be turned into "rumours and slander", and then faced with the "indiscriminate killing of innocents" mentioned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it can be said to be "bad intentions" at the root. There is no need to explain to the Ministry of Criminal Justice what to do.

Now that Qin Xiuyuan died, the stains on Xuan Qingwei's body could not be washed away, so he must complain in his heart. It is even very likely that the murderer who killed Qin Xiuyuan will be placed on you, the prince, or on the Ministry of Punishment.

In this way, Xuan Qingwei may get rid of the constraints of "assisting in the investigation" and get close to digging into Qin Xiuyuan's death. In this way, you will definitely be dragged into the water, and at the same time, you can be impeached by the Ministry of Punishment for "disregarding human life and flattering the prince". As a result, the dirty water was successfully poured back to the Ministry of Punishment."

Speaking of this, Yang Lin also understood, and said, "In order not to be passive and threatened by Xuan Qingwei, the Ministry of Punishment may counteract it in advance? And this king has become a pond fish that was affected by their struggle?! "
