Chapter 226 The Back Hall of the Criminal Division, Trick and Capture

After listening to Dou Yandong's detailed explanation, Du Yilin and the others knew that what Dou Yandong said to suppress An Longyi was not to brazenly compete with him. In fact, with the current strength of Du Yilin, there is no way to compete with it. Their only advantage now lies in the emperor. Even if An Longyi has long had a disgruly heart, he still has to worry about the truth of the world. If he wants to compete for the world, he must at least find an excuse to overthrow the current emperor. Nowadays, the country is in good weather, and there is no chaos in the country, let alone when the people are living in poverty, and the surrounding neighboring countries have not taken action for the time being. According to Dou Yandong, An Longyi will definitely start to make trouble from the outside, and then he can take advantage of the chaos to seize the throne. The movement of the general's mansion is the beginning of everything, but it is not the point that Dou Yandong wants to start.

"Ho Wei, you will go back to the emperor's mansion later and tell the old man these things. The old man will know what to do." After saying that, Dou Yandong didn't care how confused Dou Haowei and Du Yilin were, and said to Du Yilin, "Your Majesty, you can go to the Criminal Division later. The Xuanrong girl now lives in your palace, who is the person of your King Xiaohan. She has been poisoned. If the prince doesn't come forward, she will definitely be laughed at."

Du Yilin listened carefully to Dou Yandong's arrangement. After hearing this, he and Dou Haowei went out of the Xiaohan Palace together and went to do their own business.

Dou Haowei got on the soft sedan chair and returned to the imperial palace and told his grandfather what Dou Yandong said. Unexpectedly, after listening to these words, his grandfather did not ask more questions. He just nodded and asked people to gather his children and grandchildren. After everyone gathered together, the old man said slowly, "Now the court is unstable, and some people intend to provoke the dispute between neighboring countries and the Huangqi Kingdom, which is harmful to the country and the people. Although the Dou family of our emperor's mansion are all literati, they also have to see the suffering of the people. You are now writing here. Most of the humeral ministers, virtuous generals and officials from neighboring countries have some contacts with you. Those virtuous people who speak frankly and understand the heart of the emperor will not sit idly by and talk to them first.

After saying that, as soon as the old man waved his hand, several close subordinates put the long-prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of everyone.

It is the first time that the Dou family has seen such a situation no matter how old or young they are. The people present are all descendants of the Dou family and have received the best education. How can these people not see the intention of the old man? Everyone didn't dare to ask anything more. It was enough to remember the sentence "Someone intends to provoke a dispute". Some people suddenly thought of who, so they picked up their pens and began to write letters. When they finished writing, they presented them to the old man one by one and asked him to have a look.

The old man is not afraid to spend more time. He read the letters carefully. If he feels that something is wrong, he will send it back and correct it again. For a while, the old man's lonely courtyard seemed to have turned into a private school, and those high-ranking Mr. Dou can only be students today and carefully modify every small place. No one has complaints, because they all know that if the old man attaches so much importance to this matter, it must be a major event related to the survival of the Dou family.

Dou Haowei, who knows the inside story best, has been sitting beside his grandfather. He hasn't seen him do anything so seriously for a long time. No one in the family came to ask him about the details of the matter, which also made Dou Haowei really feel why his Dou family had stood on foot for hundreds of years.

Dou Haowei's side is in full swing, while Du Yilin's side is somewhat unhappy.

Du Yilin was sitting in the sedan chair and was still angry about the poisoning of Leng Xuanrong. Previously, he was full of thinking about how to deal with the changes in the general's mansion, but after Dou Yandong said that Leng Xuanrong poisoned him and couldn't hang on King Xiaohan's face, the more Du Yilin thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. No matter who did this or whether he was to provoke himself to war with the settle family, Du Yilin gritted his teeth and thought to himself that this matter would never be easily eliminated.

When his sedan chair arrived in front of the gate of the criminal division, Du Yilin's anger and anxiety over the past few days also reached the extreme. A subordinate opened the curtain of the sedan chair. Du Yilin came out of the sedan chair and took a look. The chief of torture led his subordinates to meet him respectfully at the door of the government.

The name of the criminal department is Hu Qizhang. His grandfather used to be the servant of the third grade Shangli, and his father is now a fifth-grade county magistrate in Lichi County. The Hu family and Hu Qizhang's generation have become very advanced. Hu Qizhang has been a minor official and has finally climbed to the high position of the director of the Department of Criminal Justice in his fifties. This depends not only on his smoothness in officialdom, but also on his talent for handling cases.

The so-called case handling in the imperial city does not mean that he can quickly find the real murderer every time to find out the truth of the matter. On the contrary, the case handling here exactly means that Hu Qizhang always has strange methods that can deceive up and down and distort black and white, twist the original case at a corner, and In this twist, it is naturally the powerful who get the benefits. There will always be a few bad-natured descendants of rich families. They have committed crimes and can only be handed over to Hu Qizhang to investigate in person. He often investigates to find out the hidden situation in the case. In his court, it seems that he speaks the word "reason" every moment, and what he said is beneficial to the descendants of rich families. "xiang", and people always can't find any flaws.

This is called handling cases.

Because of such a means, Hu Qizhang has naturally been taken care of by many parties. He has now become one of the six chief divisions and has a place in the court.

Du Yilin looked up and down at Hu Qizhang coldly. The old man's hanging triangular eyes really looked a little majestic, but his timidating appearance had no effect on Du Yilin. Du Yilin also knew all the things he had done.

"Lord Hu, I came here in a hurry, but I didn't expect you to pick it up in person." Although Du Yilin and Dou Haowei can show their joy and anger when they are together, he will always have a cold face and no expression when he comes to outsiders, especially in front of his ministers. It is also because of this that the awe of this young prince in the imperial court is better than their awe of the emperor. Some people even spread it in private. They would rather offend the king Xiaohan.

Hu Qizhang has been wandering in the court for many years. Naturally, he knew this truth. As soon as he heard Du Yilin's words, he hurried forward and said, "The subordinates failed to welcome him far away. Please forgive him. The prince's trip must be for the Guide Building, right? This place is not a place to speak. The prince also invited him to go to the criminal office to report in detail.

Du Yilin walked into the prison with his own guard with a cold face. Hu Qizhang led him to the back hall of the government. After the two sat down, Hu Qizhang asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong with the poisoned girl now?"

"It's still alive." Du Yilin blocked Hu Qizhang's question as if he didn't want to say anything more, and then asked, "What have you found?"

Hu Qizhang frowned slightly. He saw that the king of Xiaohan was really embarrassed, and this matter was very **. Even though Hu Qizhang was smooth and sophisticated, he still did not find out what position he should be in this matter. On the one hand, the eldest son of the first assistant prime minister, and on the other hand, Hu Qizhang instinctively felt that this matter was not simple, but he had not found the key to the matter. The only thing I know now is that the poisoned girl is from King Xiaohan, and the eldest son of Anfu also sent someone to inform him to find out the real culprit with all his strength. Hu Qizhang began to think about how to deal with it after knowing this matter, and now it is finally the critical time.

He took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said what he had already thought.

"It happened in Guidelou. In addition to the parents of Prime Minister An, there were also the Fifth Master of the Imperial Family and the young master of the Dou family. The poisoned girl surnamed Leng. The subordinate did not go to all parties to ask for evidence for the time being and did not dare to judge anything else, but there was another thing that was the top priority, that is, in addition to these people at that time. In addition, behind each of them stood a waiter. According to the shopkeeper of Guidelou, suddenly, he did not notice the servants of the waiters at that time, and after knowing this, he had sent someone to bring back the servants who served in the small courtyard that night, but he was in a hurry and didn't have time to ask questions.

Du Yilin couldn't help but praise this guy a little more after listening to Hu Qizhang's brief reply. It seems that this Hu Qizhang is not a bag of wine and rice bags. He has handled everything he can handle properly in such a short time, and there must be many obstacles in it, but after listening to what he said, he really can't find anything wrong with it.

Thinking of this, Du Yilin's anger also reduced a little. He asked in a low voice, "How is Lord Hu going to investigate this case?"

As soon as this problem came out, Hu Qizhang's palm sweated.

Yes, although the previous rhetoric is good, the following question is the key!

Hu Qizhang resisted the action of swallowing, coughed to hide his embarrassment, and then replied, "Your Majesty, there are several key questions in his mind that have not been answered yet, so it is hard to say how to investigate this case. The prince may have heard that the Guide Building was private property of Lord Wei, the director of military affairs. At that time, the poisoned girl was with the prince of Anfu and two Mr. Dou of the emperor's mansion. In addition, there must be hidden feelings in all poisoning cases, mostly related to personal hatred, so the subordinate officer thought that it was better to follow that one first. Get it on the girl..."

Speaking of this, Hu Qizhang looked at Du Yilin and asked, "I don't know if the prince thinks this idea of Shimoguan is correct?"
