Chapter 332: A fishy fish

Imperial City, Newspaper Institute.

After Feng Shenwei concurrently served as director of the newspaper, he would come to the Journalist Institute twice a month to monitor public opinion. He was not a serious person. As long as there was no content that was not conducive to the Tang Dynasty, he would turn a blind eye to many things.

.

This job was a lucrative job, and officials and dignitaries often offered him money in order to publish some news.

Today, a document was placed on Feng Shenwei's case. When he opened it, he saw that it read "Uncle Yang Guo donated a thousand guan at Baoshou Temple to help the poor", and below it there were three words "a thousand guan", which means

Remuneration to Feng Shenwei.

"Uncle Guo has smooth hands and a kind heart. He is truly a kind man."

Feng Shenwei muttered something in a low voice, then put a pen under the column to indicate that the news could be published.

Looking further back, it was "Emperor Xuanyuan appeared in Taibai Mountain and accepted Taoist priest Wang Xuanyi as his disciple", and below it was "Six Hundred Guan". Feng Shenwei looked at it and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "What a thief."

, it’s money well spent.”

At this time, an official came over to report that someone wanted to see him.

Feng Shenwei thought it was a sign of great filial piety, so he put down his pen and went to the hall to take a look in person. He saw Wang Zhongsi lying on his side on a stretcher and being carried over.

"General Wang, you..."

"I have a gangrene attack on my back. I'm sorry that I can't see you." Wang Zhongsi said weakly.

"I'm not being polite, but the general came here in person even though he was sick. What's the matter?"

Wang Zhongsi pouted, and Feng Shenwei quickly stepped forward and leaned over to listen.

"General Feng, I heard that Xue Lang committed a crime and was detained in the palace, but is it true?"

"I really don't know much about this matter." Feng Shenwei thought for a while and responded: "If General Wang wants to know, I will ask General Gao."

"That's it, thank you very much."

Seeing that the seriously ill Wang Zhongsi was carried away again, Feng Shenwei hurried back to the palace and hurried slowly to see Gao Lishi.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they saw that Gao Lishi was appointing the eunuch Li Dayi to take over Wu Huaishi's job.

Seeing this situation, Feng Shenwei had a thought in his mind, secretly thinking that Wu Huaishi was either promoted or finished.

He had a lot of thoughts, but he didn't actually know what was going on, so he had to stand aside and raised his eyes slightly to see Li Dayi passing away happily, and then he stepped forward to speak.

"Master, Wang Zhongsi came to see me today and wanted to plead for Xue Bai."

"He begged for mercy?" Gao Lishi said lightly: "If he begged for mercy, he could have killed Xue Bai."

"So, Wang Zhongsi has a grudge against Xue Bai?"

After casually saying something silly, Feng Shenwei felt Gao Lishi's cold eyes, and then he cheered up and said, "That can't be the case. Someone must have frightened Wang Zhongsi and pretended to have good intentions to do bad things."

Gao Lishi asked: "Who do you think it is?"

"That must be..."

Feng Shenwei was quick to talk, and he couldn't take it back when he opened his mouth. It was difficult to pretend to be stupid, so he had to point to the east.

Gao Lishi sighed slightly and said: "If you are smart and can guess it, come with me to investigate the case."

"When I saw that Wu Huaishi's position had been replaced, I thought the matter was settled, so why should I handle the case?"

"There is also the case of King Shou."

Feng Shenwei's heart tightened, and he regretted getting involved in this matter. He secretly thought that he should have just pretended to be stupid and insisted that Wang Zhongsi and Xue Bai had a grudge.

Gao Lishi waved his hand and said: "Jingzhao Mansion has found out that King Shou once made 'false claims of prophecies and criticized Cheng Yu'. You go and find out first. I will come over later."

"Here..."

~~

Eagle Dog Shop.

The big cage was slowly opened, Xue Bai walked out, looked at Gao Lishi, and smiled sincerely.

"Thank you, General Gao."

"The last person imprisoned here was Yao Siyi. He is already dead."

"So I should thank General Gao even more."

"It has nothing to do with me." Gao Lishi shook his head and said, "You are not acquitted, but the Jingzhao Mansion has found clues about King Shou's false prophecies. You claimed to have offended King Shou by pursuing this matter and were framed by him, so they cooperated in the investigation.

Bar."

Xue Bai said: "I must do my best."

"Next, you are at my disposal at any time."

"What about my official position?"

"You are a guilty person, and the saint has naturally dismissed you from all official positions."

Since Xue Bai is an official fan, of course he doesn't want to, and said: "But I don't know what my crime is?"

Gao Lishi did not answer this question.

Xue Bai asked again: "General Gao asked me to obey your orders. Doesn't he want me to purify myself and enter the palace?"

Faced with this problem, Gao Lishi became interested and said like a joke: "How dare I do this?"

"Why not?"

Gao Lishi whispered: "Then Madam Guo, the second mother of the Du family won't kill me?"

These words were regarded as a blow to Xue Bai, but he vaguely felt that Xue Bai was testing him.

"By the way, Wang Zhongsi pleads for you. You can check it yourself for the specific reasons."

"Thank you, General, for telling me."

"Why have you always been at odds with Dong Gong?"

The two were walking side by side when Gao Lishi suddenly asked.

Xue Bai responded: "General Gao also knows that I was buried alive in the East Palace. In addition, my relationship with Du Erniang is too deep."

"These grievances can be over after all, but do you need me to be a lobbyist?"

"Excuse me for being blunt." Xue Bai said: "Li Hengzhi is not like a human king. King Qing is long and honest, and he has been established for a long time. Who dares to fight again?"

Gao Lishi asked: "Then why do you support King Qing?"

Xue Bai said: "General Gao asked this question, how can you ask questions based on the answer?"

Seeing that nothing could come out of the test, Gao Lishi stopped trying.

After leaving the palace, they went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion in Guangdefang.

"Let's get down to business. Since you found out the evidence of King Shou's crime before the villain complained first, tell me how you found out."

"Yes, after King Ruyang died, I explored the palace of King Ruyang and asked some of the servants..."

Yang Guozhong took up the post of Jingzhao Yin and was not good at mundane affairs. Fortunately, there were two Jingzhao Shaoyin. Among them, Du Youlin had less power and did less things. Usually, most of the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion were handled by the other Shaoyin.

Disposed of by Yin Cui Guangyuan.

Until this time, Du Youlin found out a major case in one investigation.

Looking back at Tianbao for five years, he was still the criminal in a major case, and now he is investigating others. It can be said that things are unpredictable.

"It's not a small crime to make false claims about prophecies." Feng Shenwei looked at the file and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "It also involves King Shou, which is most difficult to deal with."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Du Youlin nodded repeatedly and sighed: "Of course I know."

After hearing the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but ask: "What's so difficult about involving King Shou?"

Feng Shenwei glanced at him sideways and did not answer.

Although Du Youlin reacted slowly, he was not completely stupid. He understood immediately and murmured in his heart: "The saint is ashamed of King Shou and is not willing to deal with him easily."

"I heard that there is a key witness in this case, named Xi Liu Niang." Feng Shenwei put down the file in his hand and said, "Let's make arrangements. General Gao will come over to interrogate her in person later."

"Don't worry, General Feng. The witnesses are well guarded."

Feng Shenwei smiled and nodded.

Although he had just started the case, he had already noticed something wrong - as soon as Gao Lishi learned about Shou Wang's case, he immediately asked the Jingzhao Mansion to hand Xi Liu Niang over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Strangely, Du Youlin honestly agreed.

, but did not follow the instructions, saying that he had to wait for the right minister's approval.

With the authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no yamen should dare to defy the situation, but Du Youlin delayed it for two days, causing Gao Lishi to come in person.

"General Feng, Du Shaoyin, and General Gao are here."

"Hurry up and greet him." Du Youlin hurriedly walked out.

Feng Shenwei paid attention to his reaction and reminded: "It would be better for Du Shaoyin to bring Xi Liuniang here. General Gao is busy, so don't let him wait too long when he arrives."
