Bai Hong said: "You have a home now and can't go back, so you can stay with me temporarily. However, I have an important task that I must complete in person. I was supposed to leave yesterday, so I guess you will come to see me.

So I stayed. Now that you are here and have finished speaking, it’s time for me to leave. You live in the store and they will take good care of you. I will arrange for someone to investigate and tell you the news about the Zheng family.

You...you are also prepared."

Leng Yi didn't ask her what her mission was, and just nodded: "Thank you!"

In the next few days, Leng Yi stayed at Xinghuangjiu's house and did not go out. From here, he could see the sky of his mansion in the distance by pushing the window. Leng Yi kept paying attention there, but he did not see the agreed kite.

That is to say, the official family did not ask him to enter the palace.

The official is being annoyed by Mrs. Huarui. At this time, he is not asked to persuade Mrs. Huarui. There is only one possibility, and that is that he is so worried about the Zheng family that he really has no energy or free time to pick up girls.

The investigation of the Zheng family arranged by Bai Hong before leaving also proved this. The secret report sent by the clerk showed that the Zheng family stopped in the yard and refused to mourn. Every day, they knelt at the door and cried in mourning. More and more people from the imperial court

Officials were involved in this matter, and there was an endless stream of officials who went to Zheng's house to express condolences.

After several more days of this, Leng Yi finally saw a kite floating in the sky in the direction of his home. He knew that this meant that the official had announced that he would be recruited into the palace.

Leng Yi immediately left the Xinghuang Restaurant quietly. After making sure that no one was following him, he came to pick up the mask in a secluded alley and went straight into the house through the front door.

Master Fei Yi and other guards were relieved to see him back safely.

When Leng Yi came to the inner house, Zhuo Qiaoniang and Xiao Zhouhou received the report and came out to welcome him.

Zhuo Qiao Niang said: "Guanren, you are back! Are you okay?" She looked up and down as she spoke.

Leng Yi said: "I'm fine. - Has the official decree arrived?"

"Yes! I just arrived. I want you to enter the palace immediately."

Zhuo Qiaoniang helped Leng Yi change his clothes. Xiao Zhouhou arranged for the sedan to be prepared. Master Tuyou and others were asked to escort him all the way, so that the prime minister and others would not intercept him.

After packing everything, get up in the sedan chair and go out to the palace.

Leng Yi's residence was not far from the palace, but his sedan was stopped not far after it came out.

What stopped his sedan was a group of Zheng family disciples wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety, kneeling on the street. The whole street was blocked. Following these disciples were a group of civil and military ministers, each with cold eyes, staring at Leng.

Yi's sedan chair.

The accompanying guard Tuyou Master quickly ordered to turn around and go around by another road.

However, the other party seemed to have been prepared for it. Many people came out of the alley, wearing sackcloth and mourning, and kneeling in the middle of the road, blocking their retreat.

One person came out first, with a horse-like face and an angry face. He stretched his legs even longer. Wearing a military commander's court uniform, he strode forward, causing snow to splash on the ground. He came a few steps away from the sedan chair, cupped his fists and raised his hands. He said solemnly: "

I, Shi Shouxin, would like to ask Mr. Leng to get off the sedan. I have a few words that I would like to ask clearly. As long as I make them clear, I will not embarrass you!"

After waiting for a while, no one in the sedan replied.

Shi Shouxin's face became longer and his voice became louder: "Master Leng! Please get off the sedan!"

Has anyone replied yet.

Shi Shouxin's son Shi Baoji rushed forward and said with a loud voice like a bell: "Father, this guy doesn't want to be obedient, so take the child to find him out!"

With his eyes widened, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward. The guards on both sides of the sedan, Master Tuyou and Taoist Priest Wu Mei, stepped forward and blocked his way with their hands behind their backs.

Shi Baoji said angrily: "Get out of the way!" He struck out with both palms, bang bang twice, hitting the two people's chests!

Shi Baoji was as powerful as an ox. With this palm, even a big ox would be knocked away. But when it hit Master Tu You and Taoist Wu Mei, the result was different. The palm that hit Master Tu You,

It was like hitting a rock, and the pain was so painful that his palm almost broke. And the palm that hit Taoist Wu Mei felt like hitting a silk quilt.

Shi Baoji covered his hand that seemed to be broken and squatted on the ground in pain.

Shi Shouxin stepped forward to help his son back, glanced at his hands, and said solemnly: "Go and apply the medicine right away!"

"Okay...!" Shi Baoji turned around in pain and walked away. A person came face to face and said, "It's not this one, it's that one!" He pointed at Shi Baoji's uninjured one.

Shi Baoji was stunned: "This one is fine."

"This one has been injured secretly. Within an hour, this hand will be useless!"

Shi Baoji was so shocked that he turned around and glared at Taoist Wu Mei. He said to the man: "Thank you, Uncle Gao!"

This man is none other than Gao Huaide, the Grand Master in charge of the imperial examination.

Gao Huaide and Shi Shouxin were both the founding fathers of the Song Dynasty, famous generals who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world and made great military exploits. The two of them were brothers and sisters with Zheng En. The last time Zhao Kuangyin killed Zheng En by mistake, the two almost fell out with Zhao Kuangyin, and finally forced

Zhao Kuangyin cut off the dragon robe to apologize, and this was the end. Unexpectedly, this time Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Guangyi killed Zheng En's biological sister again, and refused to admit it. This made the two of them angry, and they had to ask clearly.

An understanding.

After they failed to see Leng Yi during their last visit, they arranged for an informant to be near the Leng Mansion. When they saw Leng Yi returning, they immediately reported it. The Zheng family was nearby, and Gao Huaide and the others had been at the Zheng family these days and got the news.

, rushed over immediately and blocked Leng Yi's sedan escort in the middle of the road.

Shi Shouxin looked at Taoist Wu Mei and Master Tuyou coldly: "You two are so vicious!"

"What a joke!" Taoist Wu Mei sneered, "Your son beat us two old men, but we didn't fight back. You don't blame your son for bullying the weak, but you blame us two old men for not being beaten to death by your son. You are really confusing right and wrong.

!”

Master Tu You also said: "Exactly! Seeing how domineering you are, no wonder you dare to block the road and beat people in broad daylight. Isn't there no royal law under the emperor's feet?"

Shi Shouxin slowly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, I'm going to behave like this when I get the advantage! You can't believe that I'm an old man and I'm going to beg for your fists!"

"Wait!" Gao Huaide saw that Shi Shouxin was about to step forward and use violence. He knew that Shi Shouxin's martial arts were mainly used on the battlefield. He was afraid that he had little chance of winning against such a master of martial arts. Moreover, Leng Yi was a popular figure among officials.

Moreover, Leng Yi is only responsible for investigating this matter, and the matter itself has nothing to do with him. Therefore, no force should be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Shi Shouxin turned around and looked at him: "Are we just going to let them pass like this?"

Gao Huaide shook his head, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said to the sedan: "Master Leng, I am Gao Huaide. Here are also Zhongshu Ling Shi Shouxin, Prime Minister Xue Juzheng, Secondary Prime Minister Shen Lun, Privy Councilor Chu Zhaofu, and other court officials.

Your official position is many ranks higher than yours, why don't you get off the sedan chair and meet me?"

Leng Yi remained indifferent in the sedan chair.

Xue Juzheng also walked up slowly, looked at the two eagerly eyed Master Tuyou and Taoist Wu Mei, clasped his fists and said, "We just want to see Mr. Leng. There are some things that we need to ask in person. We are not here to cause trouble."

"Isn't it just asking for trouble if you just hit someone when you come up?" Wu Mei Taoist said: "If we two old guys hadn't been strong-boned, those two palms would have shattered all our bones?"

Xue Juzheng also felt that he was wrong and looked back at Shi Shouxin.

Shi Shouxin is a military commander. But no matter what is reasonable or unreasonable, his fists are the reason. He said angrily: "If he doesn't come out, I'll beat him until he comes out!"

With a wave of his hand, his followers immediately surrounded the sedan chair. The disciples of Master Tuyou and Taoist Master Wu Mei also unsheathed their swords and stood in front of the sedan chair, glaring angrily.

Xue Juzheng didn't want the matter to turn into a fire fight, so what was reasonable became unreasonable. He rushed forward and waved: "Stop it! This is the foot of the emperor of the capital. What does it mean to dance with guns and sticks?"

The Second Prime Minister, Shen Lun, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "If you have something to say, please say it. No need to be rude."

Master Tuyou said: "It's you who want to use violence. We are just the guards. If you want to play, we will play. We are not afraid that there are too many of you."

Shi Shouxin also knew that although there were many people on his side, their martial arts skills were only average, and they were actually no match for the other party. If the other party really tried to break through, there was nothing they could do, and they couldn't kill each other to the death. He waved his hand: "Everyone retreat. Down!"

His followers withdrew.

Xue Juzheng took two steps forward and said to the sedan: "Master Leng, Zheng En's sister died suddenly and suddenly, and the cause of death is doubtful. We just need to understand clearly what happened so that we can advise the officials. We It’s not that I mean to embarrass you, you just need to tell us the details of the autopsy. We just want to know whether Beauty Daji’s death was really accidental, and what evidence is there?”

Shen Lun also spoke up: "Yes, our coworker did an autopsy on Daji Beauty and found that there were obvious indentations on the mouth and nose of the corpse. Although it can be formed by throwing it into a pile of clothes, but if someone presses the back of the head with his hand from behind, It can be formed in the same way! And Wu Zuo said that judging from the degree of facial bruises, the latter is more likely to form. I wonder how you explain it?"

There was still no response in the sedan.

Privy Councilor Chu Zhaofu also stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Lianqiu, the maid of Princess Wei, has made it clear that she saw the official's guard Long Jong climb through the window and enter the room of the beautiful lady Daji that night. However, it is said that you didn't do it at all. If you report this matter to the officials, how will you explain it?"

Then, these people questioned him repeatedly, but for a long time, there was no response in the sedan.

Finally, Chu Zhaofu couldn't help it any longer. His gray eyebrows trembled a few times. He walked towards the sedan with his hands behind his back and said as he walked: "I, the Privy Councilor Chu Zhaofu, want to meet Lord Leng. Please give in!" "After that, he raised his chest and bumped into Master Tuyou and Taoist Wu Mei.

The two looked at each other, and when Chu Zhaofu was about to bump into them, they stepped out of the way.

Chu Zhaofu smiled proudly, walked to the sedan, stretched out his hand to grab the sedan curtain, and said: "Sir Leng, you are so generous, you let me, a dignified privy minister, lift the curtain for you, hehe, please get off the sedan. !”

After that, he lifted up the curtain of the sedan and looked inside. He was dumbfounded. He saw that the sedan was empty and Leng Yi was not in it!

“Oops!”

Shi Shouxin also changed his expression and said: "He must have quietly entered the palace!"

Master Tuyou and Taoist Priest Wu Mei laughed.

—————————

Yeonbok Palace

A large number of memorials were scattered on the ground. The four treasures of the study on the dragon's imperial desk were also sadly scattered on the ground. Only the emperor's jade seal was still placed neatly on the desk.

Emperor Zhao Guangyi, with his hands behind his back and a livid face, walked around the hall like a headless chicken. He stopped from time to time and roared: "Rebellion! Everyone is rebelling!"

When Leng Yi came in, he heard Zhao Guangyi's roar in the distance and hesitated. He glanced at Wang Jien, who was standing at the door with hands down, and walked past.

When Wang Jien saw him, he also came over and whispered: "You'd better wait until the official gets over his anger before you go in."

"Okay! - But you have to tell me why the official family is so angry, so I have some confidence in my heart."

Wang Jien lowered his voice and said: "In the past few days, the court ministers have written letters one after another, accusing the officials of killing innocent people indiscriminately. Not only the admonishment officials of the Yuan Yuan, the censors of the Yushitai, but also ordinary courtiers have also written.

He said that the officials should not kill the beauty Daji for no reason."

Leng Yi said: "That's not true. Beauty Daji obviously slipped and fell to her death. How did she end up dying?"
