Chapter 119 This Child is Like Me [Ask for a monthly ticket! ]

Liang Yue's words surprised the three big guys present.

This is indeed an unexpected request.

It was Wang Rulin who spoke first: "My apprentice must have his reasons for doing this."

His current position is very clear, which is mindless maintenance.

Perhaps the two have only been master and apprentice for a short time, but Wang Rulin trusts this apprentice very much in his heart.

He knows too well what bad people are like.

So I know even more that Liang Yue is a very pure and good person.

In this matter, Xuanmen looked at his attitude, and the court looked at Xuanmen's attitude.

He was determined to protect Liang Yue, and the Zhuxie Division would do so for his sake; if the Zhuxie Division protected Liang Yue, the imperial court would also protect him for the Zhuxie Division's sake.

Only in this way can Liang Yue be saved.

This is what is meant by taking advantage of the situation.

This was also the purpose of him making his attitude clear to Chen Su as soon as he came up today and having a conversation with the two of them in the car.

The more determined he was, the more determined Chen Su was; the more determined Chen Su was, the more determined Liang Fuguo was; the more determined Liang Fuguo was, the more hope there was for the emperor. After the three of them tested each other in the carriage, they all made clear their attitudes.

This person must be protected.

This determination originated from Wang Rulin.

Liang Fuguo frowned and said, "It will be very troublesome if you do this."

Compared with Wang Rulin, he is more familiar with the rules of officialdom.

It was actually not that difficult for him to protect Liang Yue. The Ministry of Justice, as a third party, fabricated a strong piece of evidence during the investigation, and his suspicion was cleared.

Liang Fuguo was not the kind of gentleman who must act uprightly. As long as he was sure that Liang Yue was innocent, he would not care about the means to save him.

Likewise, if he finds someone guilty, killing him does not necessarily have to be in accordance with the law.

But if Liang Yue insists on investigating the case himself, things will be different. That means he must find out the truest truth.

With everyone's attention on him, he would have no other choice but to put himself on the spot. If he gave Liang Yue this opportunity and couldn't find out the truth, then everything would be over.

Chen Su asked: "Since you have this determination, you should have a source of confidence, right?"

He is half a step into the mysterious world and half a step into the court. He understands Wang Rulin's persistence and Liang Fuguo's concerns. He may be the person who understands Liang Yue's state of mind best now.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he were in the same situation as Liang Yue, he would probably make the same choice.

But the prerequisite is that you must have enough self-confidence.

After hearing the three big guys speak separately, Liang Yue replied: "I do have some speculations."

All three looked at him, indicating that he could talk.

……

“This case is actually not difficult to handle.”

As soon as Liang Yue started reasoning, an aura began to emanate from his entire body, which was enough to make the bigwigs from three different fields calm down and listen to him talk.

"The Princess's Mansion is heavily guarded, and outsiders can't get in. If you can come and go quietly under such guard, then you can kill people without leaving any traces."

"So the murderer is most likely to be excluded from the guests that day. Based on my own experience, the murderer must be a Qigong practitioner. Moreover, there is no proof of his absence at the time of the crime. There shouldn't be many people who meet these conditions."

"The difficulty of the case is that the murderer left very little evidence, and I have fought with him before, although I have never seen his face..." Liang Yue said: "If I meet him again, maybe I can find something from some clues."

"And during that brief fight, I discovered that the other party was very strong. At the time, there was a poison wave behind me and a murderer in front of me. With him attacking from both sides, it would have been easy for him to kill me."

"But why didn't he do that?" Liang Yue pondered, "On the bright side, maybe he just wanted to kill Princess Fuyang and didn't want to hurt innocent people; on the bad side, maybe he deliberately wanted to keep me so that he could frame me for the murder."

"The Princess's Mansion may have been related to the Nine Yang spies. If Princess Fuyang and I are both dead, then the Evil Extermination Division will definitely step up its efforts to dig deeper into the Princess's Mansion. But if I am fine and the princess is dead, then I will become a suspect and the conflict will be diverted. In the future, the Evil Extermination Division will encounter resistance wherever it goes to investigate a case."

"So the murderer may be related to Jiuyang."

"It would be better to let the Evil Extermination Division investigate this case. If it is handed over to the Evil Extermination Office, then I think it would be most reliable for me to investigate it myself."

"That's right!" After listening to his reasoning, Wang Rulin was the first to say, "This is all Jiuyang's deliberate conspiracy!"

He didn't care whether he understood or not, he just wanted to support his apprentice.

Chen Su rolled her eyes at him.

He turned his gaze to Liang Fuguo, "I just don't know if Lord Zuo Xiang..."

"I said that day that I would fulfill one of your wishes." Liang Fuguo said, "I will never break my promise."

"That's great." Liang Yue said happily, "We can start taking action now." Facing the three big guys, he suddenly began to give orders.

"Lord Left Prime Minister, please come to the palace as soon as possible and seize this opportunity for me. I will investigate the case myself." He first said to Liang Fuguo.

Liang Yue then looked at Chen Su and said, "Uncle Chen, please mobilize a large number of officials to assist the Ministry of Justice when you return. The Princess's Mansion must be well protected. Not only the site, but also any part of it must not be damaged. The guests attending the banquet that night must be monitored carefully, and no one can be allowed to escape from the city."

Compared with the constables in the Ministry of Justice, the clerks in the Zhuxie Yamen who were former veterans of the Ministry of War were more powerful and more cautious in their work.

If the murderer is a highly skilled Qi-refining practitioner, then the task of monitoring him will not be easy.

"Don't worry." Chen Su responded.

Liang Yue finally looked at Wang Rulin and said, "Master, please return to Yunzhi Monastery as soon as possible. Junior Brother Bai Yuan should have prepared the meal. If you are late, it may get cold and he will need to heat it up again."

Wang Rulin raised his head: "Huh?"

It was not until the three of them walked out of the main gate of the Ministry of Justice that Chen Su chuckled and said, "Whether we are in the government or in the underworld, the three of us are all well-known figures. How can we be assigned by a young boy like him?"

"Oh." Liang Fuguo also laughed, "What's the big deal? When I was young, I assigned others in the same way. I think this kid is like me and has a bright future."

Wang Rulin put his hands in his sleeves and said with a flat mouth: "Of course my apprentice looks like me."

This genuine master was still a little upset that the only task Liang Yue gave him was to go home for dinner.

……

Imperial City, Qinzheng Hall.

The emperors of the Yin Dynasty had two offices. Generally, grand court meetings were held in the Shanhe Hall. The hall was magnificent and vast, able to accommodate all the officials of the capital, with the dragon throne high above.

However, the so-called "attending court" is not a daily event. When Emperor Mu Bei was young, he would hold court once every ten days, and would often hold additional court meetings. In recent years, as he has grown older and his health has deteriorated, he has changed the court meetings to the first and fifteenth day of each month, and sometimes he would cancel them when there are fewer things to do.

However, he did not slack off and continued to work every day, but the location was the Qinzheng Hall, which was closest to the palace in the imperial city. This was a comfortable small hall, similar to the imperial study. All officials would report to the two government offices under the prime minister's gate. The two prime ministers would sort out the day's affairs in the afternoon and report to the emperor.

This kind of meeting, which only the left and right prime ministers and some important ministers had the opportunity to participate in, was also called a small court meeting. The emperor could get up later, spend some time listening to reports and making some decisions, and then quickly return to the palace to hang out, which was much more comfortable.

On this day, there were only two people standing in the Qinzheng Hall.

A middle-aged civil official wearing a red and purple robe, with a fair complexion, delicate features, clear eyes and a smile on his face. Because of his handsome appearance, he may look a little young, which does not seem to match the official uniform.

But this person is the head of all officials in the Yin Dynasty, the leader of the civil and military classes, and the current head of the Song family among the four great families in Shendu - the right prime minister Song Zhili.

The left prime minister was in charge of the three external departments of military, criminal justice and industry, while the right prime minister was in charge of the three internal departments of civil servants, household and rites, and it seemed that they were evenly matched.

However, because the Ministry of Personnel was in the hands of the Right Prime Minister, it was difficult for the Left Prime Minister to influence the power of the Right Prime Minister. However, the Right Prime Minister could exercise power in the three external ministries of the Left Prime Minister. Therefore, the status of the Right Prime Minister was absolutely higher than that of the Left Prime Minister, and he was well-deserved to be second only to the Left Prime Minister.

However, in this generation of left and right phases, the situation seems to be somewhat different.

Song Zhili and Liang Fuguo were known as the twins when they were in the Jiandao Academy. They entered the court at the same time and became prime ministers in almost the same year. Liang Fuguo had no respect for Song Zhili and acted ruthlessly in the court, known for his thunderous methods. But Song Zhili was always known as a good guy, often responsible for bridging conflicts and dissuading disputes. Once something big happened in the court, he would often prioritize self-preservation.

Whenever there is a major event in the court, he can break through his cultivation level, which is also somewhat magical.

Therefore, over the years, officials in the court were more afraid of the Left Prime Minister than the Right Prime Minister.

Although the two had never fought, everyone felt that Song Zhili could not defeat Liang Fuguo. The right prime minister, who was naturally half a head taller than Liang Fuguo, was reduced to an equal position in front of him.

The person standing with Song Zhili at this time was naturally Liang Fuguo, who had deep brows and sharp eyes.

When these two classmates stand together, they look like they are more than ten years apart in age.

"When the emperor comes in a while, I want to ask you for a favor. Can you help me?" Liang Fuguo said in a low voice without moving his body or face.

Song Zhili was the same, seemingly standing quietly, but whispered, "What do you want to say?"

"Just listen to it later. It won't do you any harm. Can you help?" Liang Fuguo said.

"Hey." Song Zhili smiled softly, "It's a rare occasion when the Left Prime Minister asks me for help, I will definitely give you this face."

Liang Fuguo said: "My family has received a batch of crabs sent from Nanzhou. They are very good. If the matter is settled, please come and eat them."

"You will only get paid after the job is done?" Song Zhili glared slightly.

"What else?" Liang Fuguo said confidently.

"Forget it. I already knew your face anyway." Song Zhili snorted.

People in the court and the country only knew that the left and right prime ministers were classmates in the academy, and that they had different political views in the court, and each of them had a faction with very different styles of doing things.

But few people know that they have a very good private relationship behind the scenes.

The two were chatting there when suddenly a shout came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

　Good morning.
