Chapter 518 Jump

"Bang!"

The new tea table in Yang Lin's study was broken again, broken all over the floor, and the tea set on the ground was also replaced with a new one. The staff at the side thought it was a pity that the tea set was worth 5,000 taels and it was gone...

"Are you sure you're not reading it wrong?" Yang Lin's anger dropped a little after slapped the coffee table. He was not looking at the aide but an inner guard of the royal family who came to report to him with the news.

"Yes, my subordinates have seen it with their own eyes."

"It's a rebellion! These civil servants are simply shameless! They dare to tease me like this!" Despite the pressure of their voices, the anger that emerged from their throats could not be concealed, and they were even cold and murderous intent.

The guard was a little nervous, not knowing whether he had made contributions or got bored this time, so he lowered his head and stood up without saying a word.

However, the staff next to him glanced at King Shou, who was still angry, probably could not keep his mind clear, turned his head and asked the inner guard: "Tell me carefully about the situation at that time."

"Yes. At that time, the adjutant named Wang Yiming was writing and drawing in a stack of documents for a long time and was still gesturing at the house. I was curious about what he was doing. Later, at noon one of his companions brought oil tea, and he turned his head to pick it up. As a result, his clothes were dirty and he went to the pool next to clean it. The stack of documents was placed on the table by him. I quickly went up and turned over a few pages and saw what I just said."

"The oil tea has dirty the clothes to wash?" The staff member frowned slightly, pondered for a while and asked again, "How long have you been watching?"

"It took about five or six breaths. The adjutant named Wang Yiming reacted very quickly. He thought of the document and turned around and brought it back after not washing the oil tea on his body. Fortunately, I heard his steps and walked away early, otherwise I would be caught." The inner guard was very sure that he was moving quickly and was not discovered.

However, the staff member was not relieved and still frowned: "Are you sure you saw a document for printing? There is also a clear handwritten signature of Xue Gui, the Major Case Department of the Ministry of Justice?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Although the time is short, the rubbings can still be seen, and they are still the kind of paper with Xuanqingwei dark patterns, and the final signature is also very clear."

The staff nodded without saying a word, but called someone out of the door and asked someone to bring a copper strip. It was a routine note from the Ministry of Justice to the royal palace last year. The note was Xue Gui, the head of the Grand Case Department.

"Look at this again, is it the same as the signature you saw before?"

The inner guard nodded carefully after distinguishing, "I won't read it wrong."

Then the staff bowed and asked the inner guard to go down. The inner guard glanced at Yang Lin, then bowed and bowed and left.

After that, there was a silence in the study, only Yang Lin's breathing gradually calmed down. After his emotions stabilized, Yang Lin sat back on the chair and said, "What do you think? I feel a little strange about this."

"Prince, you have also heard the words of the inner guard just now. Unless the inner guard was lying, he did see the first file of the case about the "Qin Xiuyuan Case" in Xuan Qingwei's hands.

According to previous news, Qin Xiuyuan's death was investigated by the Ministry of Justice's Major Case Department. Xuanqing Wei selected Shen Hao, deputy deputy of the Black Banner of Fengricheng, to assist. Therefore, the initial case should have been drafted by Xue Gui, the chief officer of the Major Case Department. Now the inner guard has identified Xue Gui's signature and also shows the credibility of what he saw."

Yang Lin shook his head: "The inner guards cannot lie. They are absolutely loyal to the royal family." After a pause, he said, "In your opinion, this matter is true? But the civil servants have no reason to bring me in, right? What is the benefit of this? In the future, which prince will dare to get close to them, and in the end, no matter who becomes the throne, will they be good?"

The staff carefully considered the words and said, "Prince, in fact, the subordinates also felt strange about this matter. But the strange thing is not why the Ministry of Justice did this, but the adjutant Xuan Qingwei was a little wrong. He could also miss the case first report? Although he quickly reacted, it was unreasonable. It was rumored that the Black Flag Camp was the elite among the elites, and Shen Hao was a ruthless figure. Will his subordinates be so careless?"

"What do you mean is this incident a conspiracy created by Xuan Qingwei? Provoking my relationship with the Ministry of Justice?"

"I just said that there is a possibility. Otherwise, my subordinates would not feel that Xuan Qingwei's people would not be negligent in this regard."

"What if you guessed wrong? Is it possible that the Ministry of Justice is going to drag me into the water?" Yang Lin didn't like to draw conclusions easily, especially when he felt it was not pleasant. What does it mean to not be negligent like this? In Yang Lin's opinion, the adjutant named Wang's previous actions were normal, but he thought that the staff thought too much.

In the final analysis, Yang Lin’s instinctive choice between his aide and his own inner guard believes that he is absolutely loyal to his inner guard, not his own.

But Yang Lin’s question was not wrong. What if the staff guessed wrongly? Isn’t it possible for the Ministry of Justice to drag him into the water?

You should know that once it is written into the file, a hat of "hiding a fugitive" will definitely be held onto his head. This is a fatal matter in such a sensitive period now. God knows what the emperor will look at after he hits this stain, and what will the waiting and watching forces around him look at him.

There is no need for the emperor to hold him accountable. Once Yang Lin loses external help when he is accumulating his strength because he is "not optimistic", what qualifications are he still qualified to participate in the subsequent battle for the throne?

The staff thought it through and continued: "Prince, you are right. Normally, it seems that the Ministry of Justice or civil servants are not likely to drag you into the water, because it is not good for them." Then the topic changed: "However, if Xuan Qingwei is added, the situation will be different."

Yang Lin frowned deeply, without saying a word, and listened to his staff to continue.

"Xuan Qingwei and you and the civil servants are not in the way. This time, Qin Xiuyuan was originally the most direct way for them to remove the stains on their bodies, and it was simple. They just need to grab Qin Xiuyuan and pry open his mouth to admit that the previous news was spread by the Qin family. In this way, the matter can be turned into "rumor-mongering and slandering". Then, facing what the Ministry of Justice said about "killing innocent people indiscriminately" can be described as "malice-free". Moreover, Xuan Qingwei did not need to explain to the Ministry of Justice.

Now that Qin Xiuyuan died, the stains on Xuan Qingwei's body could not be washed away, and he would inevitably complain in his heart. He might even put the murderer who killed Qin Xiuyuan on you or the Ministry of Justice.

In this way, Xuan Qingwei may put aside the constraints of "assisting the investigation" and approach the deep digging and thorough investigation of Qin Xiuyuan's death. In this way, you will definitely be dragged into the water. At the same time, he can impeach the Ministry of Justice on the grounds of "disregarding the fate of others and flattering the prince", and successfully pour the dirty water on the Ministry of Justice..."
