Chapter 693
Calculating the time, it has been more than half a year since he joined the army this time. When he came back, Shen Hao originally wanted to go home first, but when he arrived at the Kunduo Pass, he received an order from the commander Yamen to go to the imperial city first, so he never Shen Hao reached the Imperial City all the way to the Imperial City without returning to Fengsun City.
Even though it was approaching evening, Shen Hao was called to the Commander's Yamen at the first time to meet Pang Ban and Jiang Cheng who seemed to be waiting for him.
"Subordinates refer to the commanding envoy and the pacifying envoy!"
Not seeing each other for a long time, Pang Ban and Jiang Cheng have a feeling of "treating each other with admiration for three days after farewell". The main change is the impact on cultivation. Secondly, the evil spirit on Shen Hao's body seemed to be heavier.
Although I knew before that Shen Hao had already stepped into the first level of the Yuan Dan realm, but knowing it was a different feeling to see it with my own eyes.
unreal!
Only lamenting that genius can indeed always bring people a miraculous experience. At the same time, I am also curious whether the speed of Shen Hao's practice will slow down after entering the Yuandan realm, or will he continue to maintain the previous appearance?
But these emotions in my heart did not last, because there are more important things to clarify with Shen Hao right now.
"No need to be too polite, sit down and talk." Pang Ban raised his hand to signal Shen Hao to sit down, and at the same time asked Jiang Cheng to hand over a formal file, and then said: "This is the file of the case, please read it first."
Because there was no progress, there were actually not many things in the case file, and Shen Hao quickly read it.
"Read it? Don't be in a hurry to express your opinion, just listen to me." Pang Ban said solemnly: "I'm sure you were transferred to Wen Mingju from the Ministry of War and Zuo Yuliang from the frontier army. Xuan Qingwei had a relationship with them before Although the goodwill that has been built will not return to its original form, it will definitely be affected. But even so, I transferred you back, and what I value is your whimsy and luck."
luck? Shen Hao knew that this was a serious compliment, because luck is also a part of strength, and this view is basically a universal view in this world.
"The sponsor of this case is the Department of Major Cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You have dealt with them before, so I will not introduce the situation. In addition, I want to remind you that this case was ordered by His Majesty to be strictly investigated. You don't need to think about what it means. You just need to understand that this case must come up with a result as soon as possible.
five days! I only give you five days, and you have to give me an explanation regardless of success or failure. "
"Subordinates understand!"
After that, Shen Hao followed Jiang Cheng and left the commander's office. According to Pang Ban's arrangement, he had to start an investigation immediately, and he had to wait for the case to come to light when he returned to Fengri City.
The reason Jiang Cheng was in command of the yamen was called by Pang Ban, because of his affiliation, Jiang Cheng, Shen Hao's direct ascendant, was also present, so that the scene would not be ugly. Jiang Cheng knew these things well, and didn't take them too seriously. He had already realized this since Pang Ban talked about his training plan for Shen Hao last time.
"My lord, what does Pang Da mean by this? Why do you have to investigate the case to the end? Wouldn't it cause big trouble if the case really went down?" Shen Hao boarded Jiang Cheng's carriage together, and only when he got in the carriage did he hold his breath. Questions that had been in my mind for a long time came out. Just now Pang Ban specifically mentioned a sentence telling him not to "think about it". But facing Jiang Cheng, Shen Hao didn't have many worries.
Of course, Shen Hao's appearance also made Jiang Cheng very useful. There is a feeling of "this is still the protégé I am familiar with".
Don't think that Jiang Cheng is easy to fool, a battle-hardened army warrior, and then he can get all the way to Xuanqingwei town to care for him, his vision and city are superhuman. It is even more clear about the elusive and most changeable thing like the human heart. Shen Hao's cultivation base alone is quite different from before, and with Pang Ban's appreciation in the open and in the dark, many people are easy to drift away. But for now, Jiang Cheng seems very satisfied, at least this student of his is not drifting in front of his door at all, as before.
Talking without hiding it is an expression of intimacy. Shen Hao knew very well, and sincerely did not treat Jiang Cheng as an outsider to fortify, so he did not shy away from asking some sensitive questions.
"Your Majesty is making the "big test" more difficult. Do you understand?"
Shen Hao was taken aback, and said in amazement: "Add difficulty to the "big exam"?! Then what if it is found out that the death of King Qian is related to other princes?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "What else can we do? Since we want to find out the truth, we must investigate the crimes of the murderer. According to the law, there is no distinction between ordinary people and princes, but they are treated equally."
"Equal treatment? It means that even if we find out, we will be stained with the prince's blood? Wouldn't it be a big trouble in the future?" Shen Hao was not stupid, and immediately discovered the huge risk that was unavoidable in this matter.
In the final analysis, the royal family's "big test" is also a matter of the Yang family's own family. Putting it in ordinary wealthy people's homes is equivalent to brothers fighting for family property. Although the methods are bloodier and more brutal, the essence is the same.
Therefore, no matter who ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, the memory of this "big test" will be indelible. Everything is easy to talk about when my family fights, but if there is an "outsider" fist in it, it's a different matter, and this fist from an "outsider" is still stained with my brother's blood. What kind of nerve is wrong, and the idea of revenging the brother will come up and the "outsider" will be buried with him?
Don't think that the emperor can't do such absurd things, what can't they do? Anyway, Shen Hao has seen a lot of history in the two worlds. If we really want to talk about the bottom line, the royal family is generally the bottom line of the human bottom line. He was worried that he had royal blood on his hands, and he would move his head as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne.
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he naturally knew what Shen Hao was worried about. To be honest, he had the same worry before. But after being reminded by Pang Banyi, I realized that these things were actually arranged by the emperor long ago. At the same time, I was extremely grateful that Xuan Qingwei had stood firmly by the emperor's side from the beginning to the end.
"Don't worry, didn't you read the rubbing file of the case just now? Didn't you find that the file looks different from the file that works in Xuanqing Guard?"
"Appearance? Yes, that's not our Xuan Qingwei's habit of filing files, and the watermark on the cover and paper is not our Xuan Qingwei's. I saw that the final seal is the Criminal Department's Major Case Division." It gradually lit up, and he thought he understood.
Sure enough, I heard Jiang Cheng say: "Hehe, you also said that it is the file of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and I told you before that the sponsor of this case is the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and we are assisting, so even if the prince involved in the end is also the Ministry of Criminal Justice, What does it have to do with our Xuan Qingwei?"
Indeed, Xuan Qingwei is only assisting in the investigation of the case, and if there are any difficult matters to be dealt with later, the Criminal Department will go to battle. Does it have anything to do with Xuan Qingwei?
