A night without words.

Xue Bai stayed at Mrs. Guo's house for two nights. In fact, everyone in the Du family had a lot to say to Xue Bai.

But Jiao Nu pretended to take care of the son-in-law of the Right Prime Minister, and they all fell silent.

When he got up the next day, Xue Bai exercised in the courtyard and didn't stop until noon. He didn't care about how others felt when they saw him like this.

After breakfast and lunch, he packed up and set off for the imperial city.

To the north of Du's house is the pavilion where Le Yuanyou visited. At this time, nobles had just come to have a banquet and were talking in twos and threes beside the carriage.

Those gossips again, like snowflakes, fell one after another.

"That's Du You's neighbor's house there? It's so small, it seems like it's just a side branch. He can marry a daughter to be the crown prince Liangdi, so he's good at running camps."

"The whole Du family was imprisoned not long ago. The aunt of the Du family pleaded with Yang Zhongcheng, the censor, in prison. Yang Zhongcheng then thoroughly investigated the case, found evidence, and cleared the Du family."

"I heard that the evidence is the divorce letter written by her husband, right?"

"Yes, in short, Yang Zhongcheng cleared the Du family's name. Seeing Yang Zhongcheng's elegant demeanor, Aunt Du noticed that he had a noble status, and she was willing to repay her favor with her body. Therefore, Yang Zhongcheng ordered someone to hire someone, and the two kings and three Kes were hired with great gifts.

The daughter of a criminal official's second marriage was a good concubine, and she had three to five carts of silk, and several boxes of gold, silver, and jade. But I never expected that Sister Du couldn't bear the loneliness at all and had already raised a little naughty boy in the house."

"I've heard about this small noodle dish. Yesterday, Du Youlin presented two treasures to Mrs. Guo Guo. One is stir-fried vegetables, and the other is this small noodle dish."

"Returning to the matter of Aunt Du, Yang Zhongcheng has a noble demeanor and did not want to embarrass the Du family. However, the Du family secretly changed the betrothal gift, and the silk became tattered linen, and the gold and silver turned into stone."

"Greedy by nature! No wonder the prince wants to divorce Du Erniang. It can be seen that both of these sisters are watery."

"..."

Xue Bai listened and thought that these gossips were based on too many facts and someone must have spread them deliberately.

However, in the eyes of others, the Liu Ji case is really about the chief officer of the three Taiwan joint trials finding evidence and finding out the truth.

Normally, the Du family should have survived after finding out the truth. Who would know the role of a young man's plea to Li Linfu?

If you focus on him, you will know that he has done a lot in this case, but in fact they are all just small actions in the dark... He begged Li Linfu to retrieve Du Jin, but Ji Wen was still asked to investigate the dead.

Get the first one.

In fact, in the eyes of the world, he has done nothing.

On the surface, Yang Shenjin is the one who is deeply involved in it from beginning to end.

~~

After leaving the square, go north along the street and enter the imperial city through Anshangmen. In front of you is the place where the officials of the capital do their business.

Xue Bai was able to take a leisurely visit this time and saw some officials walking quickly with documents in their arms, with serious expressions on their faces.

He stood watching them for a long time.

Suddenly I thought that there must be people in the Tang Dynasty who really worked for the people. What if we could escape the atmosphere of the Youxiang Mansion and work with those normal officials.

When I arrived at the Yushitai, I found Yang Zhao standing there waiting.

Xue Bai was not surprised at all, but he was surprised and said: "Why is uncle Guo here?"

"I'm here to stand up for you!"

Yang Zhao was filled with indignation and said impassionedly: "Do you know why Yang Shenjin lured Ji Wen into biting you? It's just public revenge. In order to help me, you persuaded Mrs. Guo Guo to save my confidante, the pearl, from the fire pit, which aroused the jealousy of the old demon monk Shi Jingzhong.

Shi Jingzhong said bad things about you to Yang Shenjin that night, saying that Mrs. Du refused to be a concubine because you were in love with Mrs. Du, and Yang Shenjin hated you because of this. Since Mrs. Du is your woman, he wanted to take her as a concubine by force, and he refused.

It is tolerable to accuse the Du family of greed for money and accuse you of being guilty, but which one is intolerable??"

Xue Bai frowned and felt that Yang Zhao was too loud. This is the imperial city.

Yang Zhao added: "A man born in heaven and earth, if you can be bullied like this, are you a weakling, Xue Bai?!"

"Uncle, please calm down."

"I'm not worth it for you. Yang Shen is so old and shameless, why should I fight with you?!"

There were officials from Yushitai standing on the steps watching the excitement. Some people originally only knew that Yang Shenjin and Yang Zhao had been having a lot of trouble recently. After shouting like this, they realized that Yang Shenjin and Xue Bai were fighting for women and had a personal grudge.

Not too small either.

This matter will surely spread throughout the imperial city and even Chang'an soon.

It was almost noon, and the censor who just now stopped smiling at the fun, and with a straight face, he shouted loudly: "Yang Zhao, is Xue Bai here? Come in and be questioned by Zhongcheng!"

~~

The official house is clean and elegant.

Yang Shenjin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said slowly: "I have tried my best to impeach for many days, but I still can't convict the East Palace. The problem lies in the palace city, not the Yushitai. The saint has changed his mind. We need to see real evidence."

.I then personally interrogated Ji Wen and did not think that he really colluded with the East Palace."

Standing in front of him was Lu Xuan, the imperial censor, who quickly said: "Yang Zhongcheng, you must not say that..."

Yang Shenjin refused to refute and shouted: "Don't you understand? It doesn't matter if the saint is angry with the prince now. But once the holy will changes, the authenticity of Jiwen's confession will be known at the first trial, so what then?"

Lu Xuan thought to himself, Yang Zhongcheng, you didn't understand, and said: "Yang Zhongcheng is rich in talent, but this place is the Yushitai, not the Dali Temple. The Right Prime Minister..."

"The right prime minister wants to depose the prince. I have tried my best. It is for the good of the right prime minister to sort it out again now." Yang Shenjin said: "Yang Zhao and Xue Bai were both present that night. I asked carefully. What's wrong?"

"Yang Zhongcheng is public-minded, but what do others think? He will only accuse you of taking revenge for personal gain." Lu Xuan persuaded him earnestly: "Who doesn't know that you have a big grudge with Yang Zhao and a small grudge with Xue Bai? Doing this will be a mistake.

The population is real!”

"I have a clear conscience."

Yang Shenjin came from a high family. After he became an official, he took over from his father to manage the collection and expenditure of the Taifu treasury. He soon gained the favor of the saint and never suffered any setbacks in his life.

Except for bowing his head in front of Li Linfu, he was sought after wherever he went.

Especially recently, even Li Linfu was kind to him, and Yushitai was in full swing. So he decided to put aside his personal grudges with Ji Wen, work with all his heart, and get conclusive evidence to deal with Donggong.

Otherwise, the Right Prime Minister's Office keeps urging, but the Yushitai can only catch the wind and catch the shadow. If things go on like this, it is definitely not a good thing.

"Yang Zhongcheng, people are here."

"Bring Xue Bai to see me first."

"Here."

After a while, Xue Bai entered the official house.

Yang Shenjin did not give him a seat, but looked up at Xue Bai with a scrutinizing gaze.

But when he saw Xue Bai's face that was very similar to his own when he was a teenager, he inexplicably thought of his mother again... That was a woman as gentle as water, knowledgeable and courteous. She had a book of poetry in her belly, so it was impossible to fall in love with her.

A young boy.

"Yang Zhongcheng?"

"Oh, I have something to ask you." Yang Shenjin came to his senses, straightened his face, and said in a business-like manner: "Jiwen confessed that he had planned to frame you as the traitor Xue Xiu's wife.

Do you know this?"

"Know."

"Oh?" Yang Shenjin's eyes narrowed.

Xue Bai said: "In the Youxiang Mansion, after he was captured, he did say so. At that time, Yushi Luo said that this was his old trick."

"Is this known before this?"

"I don't know, I didn't even know who Xue Xiu was before."

Yang Shenjin said: "But according to Ji Wen's confession, you knew about this in advance, so you went to his villa, and then killed Xin Twelve to silence him. After learning that Ji Xiang also knew about it, you rushed to Daozhengfang to kill him."

It's auspicious. I checked your whereabouts that night, and they are consistent with what Ji Wen said..."

He was not asking questions, but speaking slowly, observing Xue Bai's expression while speaking.

The strange thing is that he couldn't see anything from this young man's face.

Xue Bai just asked in confusion.

"Deal with me? Stop checking the East Palace?"

Yang Shenjin smiled slightly, with a cold look in his eyes.

The young man couldn't keep his temper, and he exposed his jealousy with the lady so quickly.

Thinking like this, he was doing official business, and he was a little unhappy at this time.

"Check." Yang Shen said cautiously: "I am investigating the real secret chess game in the East Palace. If Ji Wen is unjust, someone else must cooperate with the dead man that night. Only by finding him can we find the dead man."

"Me?"

Xue Bai just asked this question with some disdain.

Yang Shenjin shook his head.

The idea that was originally vaguely clear became blurred again after such a detour.

There is still a key link that has not been clicked - Xue Bai cannot be the secret chess of the East Palace, so he cannot cooperate with the dead men of the East Palace inside and outside, how to kill people?
