Chapter 690: Thinking

When Xue Gui approached the Commander Yamen, his complexion must have been extremely bad under the mask, the aggrieved expression in his eyes alone was already obvious.

The chief case officer of the Qin family had only suffered a big loss in the hands of Xuan Qingwei before, but now he asked to come to the door instead, Xue Gui must not know how to curse in his heart.

But when seeing Pang Ban, Xue Gui still had to behave well, knowing that no matter how upset he was, he couldn't hate this well-known ruthless man in the court.

"Your officer Xue Gui, I pay my respects to Commander-in-Chief!"

"Excuse me, Mr. Xue, please sit down."

Although Pang Ban has a good reputation, he is known as the most difficult person in Jingjiu Dynasty, but his friendly smile is still easy to deceive people. Even Xue Gui, who is used to all kinds of scenes, would be confused by this smile if he didn't know about Pang Ban's vicious deeds.

After sitting down, Xue Gui expressed his intentions. He said that he came here for the case of King Qian's murder, and wanted to seek Xuan Qingwei's help, and bluntly said that it was hand-picked by His Majesty after reporting it to His Majesty.

"Master Xue, if you don't come this trip, I will also go to Ma Shangshu. His Majesty has issued a warrant for us Xuan Qingwei, ordering us to fully assist Lord Xue in handling the case, and the murderer who murdered the king must be brought to justice! "

Hearing the words "bring to justice" made Xue Gui's heart beat. He's not an idiot who doesn't know anything. The death of King Qian is definitely related to a certain prince. If this is really going to be brought to justice, does it mean that the hands of the chief case officer should be stained with the prince's blood? Didn't Pang Ban know that in the past, when the prince had an accident during the "big exam" of the royal family, he would just "go through the motions" and simply check it out, or just click and stop?

Xue Gui's idea is to "stop as soon as possible", firstly, he will not get involved in the battle between the princes, and no one will be offended; secondly, he can also find some clues to show that he is actually capable of major cases Those who have the ability to solve the case will not be regarded as bastards. It was also for this reason that he went to Fenghong Villa hoping to get help, but instead he was stabbed to Xuan Qingwei with a stick.

But just now when he saw Pang Ban, he said "bring to justice" just after saying a word, which made Xue Gui a little bit impatient.

But before Xue Gui opened his mouth, Pang Ban waved his hand and continued to smile: "Master Xue, don't worry, Mr. Xue must be able to understand the current situation after thinking about it carefully. If Your Majesty really wants to make big things into small things, Then we won't let Xuan Qingwei come forward. If you really want to find a world-cultivating expert, the country will authorize you to ask the Ministry of Punishment to ask for posts. Can't the major sects help you with this?

Everyone is talking about the "big test", but if it's just unscrupulous and unrestricted competition, is it still called a "big test"?

There are many unsatisfactory places in the "big test" in the past dynasties. Now that His Majesty has asked me Xuan Qingwei to go out, isn't it to make the princes more careful? If you can't even pass this, the "big test" will not be complete.

I say that, Mr. Xue can understand what I mean, right? "

In fact, what Pang Ban said was equivalent to half-speaking and then stopping abruptly. But this does not prevent Xue Gui from associating with the second half of the speech. That is to say, he understood that Pang Ban wanted to express the emperor's intention to increase the difficulty of the "big exam". And also said from the side that the case of King Qian's murder must be investigated with all efforts.

Speaking of this, what else can Xue Gui say? Although I still didn't fully agree with it in my heart, I still believed it. After all, this kind of thing is not difficult to guess, and it is easy to get the same result by following the train of thought given by Pang Ban.

This is difficult!

"I will ask someone to investigate this case with you. If you need anything else, you can directly mention it. We will do all the errands for assistance this time."

By the time Xue Gui left Xuanqingwei's commander's office, it was already time to go on business, and he didn't rest after returning to the Ministry of Punishment, but waited for Xuanqingwei's masters to come over in the public house.

But in the next few days, Xue Gui found that he had thought things too simply.

Xuan Qingwei's masters did come, and Sanpo came one after another, and their cultivation level was getting higher and higher, and finally even the commander who rarely showed up came, but still did not find any information about the murderer who assassinated the king.

"It's impossible to have a completely traceless method of killing. It's also impossible to have a cover-up that can completely hide from us. Could it be that there is a problem with the thinking?"

Not only Xue Gui's frustrated and uneasy face, but also the commander who was dispatched urgently next to him also had an ugly expression.

Commanders are the most important force in Xuanqing Guard, they don't need to show up at all, they are usually commanders who retreat and practice in the yamen, some senior commanders are even above Pang Ban, and their status is absolute Unusual. It's a shame to come here to assist with a case now, but it's a shame to get nothing.

Xue Gui has no choice. The only thing he can do is to report the matter to Ma Xuanlin, hoping that Ma Xuanlin can go to the emperor to talk about it again. He always thinks that Xuan Qingwei's people are not capable enough. no the same.

But how could Ma Xuanlin have the chance to meet the emperor? Recently, all the memorials he handed in fell to nothing, and except for meeting the emperor at the court meeting, he was turned away all the time. And even if it is to be played at the Great Court Meeting, it will still be dismissed by a sentence of "negotiating again".

And not only Ma Xuanlin had no chance to meet the emperor alone, even the left minister Ye Lansheng also had no chance. Now all the civil and military officials in the court are "looking" at Ye Lansheng with their eyes open, seemingly unintentionally. The emperor seems to be deliberately alienating Ye Lansheng and Ma Xuanlin, which is not a good sign.

If the emperor hates a person, will that person end well? The answer has been repeatedly confirmed by countless bloody facts. So now that the people in the army are watching the theater, there are already some gossip among the civil servants.

What's more, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has yet to come up with a conclusion about the murder of King Qian this time. Xuan Qingwei even heard that he even dispatched the commander's affairs, but there was still no progress. Could it be that the emperor is angering the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Even offended Prime Minister Zuo?

Everyone else thought so, let alone Ma Xuanlin and Ye Lansheng themselves? So Ma Xuanlin is now busy trying to figure out how to meet the emperor. As for the case of the Ministry of Punishment? what is that?

Therefore, it is impossible for Xue Gui to get the support of his own adults, and he does not have enough face to talk to Fenghong Villa directly, so it is very frustrating that the case cannot be pushed these days.

In the end, Xue Gui had to admit that the only thing he could count on now was Xuan Qingwei, whom he had always looked down upon. At least the commander of Xuan Qingwei was very cautious about this case, not only checked all the details repeatedly, but also reported the progress to Pang Ban several times, and came up with a conclusion.

"There is a problem with thinking."
