Quick Transmigration: Leisure

The palace, late at night.

In front of the Wen family members who came to deliver the message, the new emperor was furious and repeatedly questioned the officials who were maintaining order, but they were all still on the scene and no one was reprimanded in person.

Furthermore, while claiming to investigate the truth, they did not alter the procedures or allow the Dali Temple to intervene prematurely. Instead, they tacitly allowed the Kaifeng Prefecture to investigate cases as normal within Bianjing City.

In the end, the emperor's edict he received was nothing more than a few angry words.

Even the imperial edict to raise the standards of funerals was supplemented by someone sent by the Empress Dowager.

In their anger, the Wen family members, whose thoughts were somewhat confused, might not have realized it, but Wen Ziji quickly understood that even if it wasn't the emperor who did it, they were at least protecting the person who did it.

That's it,

He didn't follow the reporting procedure and directly asked someone to bring back Fu Miao'an, the Right Magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, who had only shown up once and then left.

Human death is a serious case, and the officials present had no right to handle it.

At the time of the incident, most of the high-ranking guests had already returned to their residences, and the prefect himself did not come.

Night had fallen, and the official sent someone to report to the Kaifeng Prefecture, but no one responded promptly. They waited a long time for the military advisor to come and examine the body, and the officials dared not send anyone forward.

There must be someone who is legitimate and doesn't have to read faces or speak in a bureaucratic tone.

The Wen family has a rich heritage, but because the old master Wen was too illustrious throughout his life, he could only let his children resign from their official posts and travel to study in a low-key manner. The various events in Bianjing were just an experience for them.

It wasn't until his grandchildren changed the situation, and with Wen Ziji's ambition, the old man finally promoted him to a position of real power.

Everyone in their family holds nominal positions.

It's no wonder that when their powerful backers collapsed so suddenly, many officials hesitated about how to keep their titles, rather than wholeheartedly cooperating with the Wen family's investigation.

If the official suspects cannot be apprehended within one night, these individuals with their own ulterior motives will flee with the clues.

They will find it increasingly difficult to apprehend the perpetrator.

Wen Ziji sent someone to invite Fu Miao'an, firstly because he lived nearby, secondly because the case was supposed to be handed over to him according to procedure, and finally, he hoped to get help from his master through Fu Miao'an.

That famous "old judge" was experienced in solving cases, and more importantly, he was highly qualified. He might be able to identify some of the political entanglements that his grandfather hadn't had time to tell him.

really,

In just the time it took to travel to and from the destination, Fu Miao'an arrived.

Without exchanging pleasantries with Wen Ziji or the officials, he immediately put on his tools and began to investigate the situation.

Although the master didn't come along, it was still quite efficient.

Before the hour of Yin (3-5 AM),

A group of people who were deemed unrelated were then released by signing their consent.

The body was collected, leaving only the two of them looking at the scene with melancholy.

My deepest condolences, Brother Wen.

Fu Miao'an still remembered the rules. His master said that the emotions of his relatives could help him solve the case as soon as possible.

"Thank you, sir!" Wen Ziji's voice was hoarse, and he didn't bother with formalities with Fu Miao'an. They had only been nodding acquaintances before, but became familiar with each other after cooperating on the case of Duke Ping. They had only recently become sworn brothers, and now he owed Fu Miao'an a favor.

Wen Ziji really shouldn't overstep the bounds.

He bowed deeply to people repeatedly with sincerity.

"Brother Wen, you're too kind. I once received guidance from Old Master Wen, and we have a teacher-student relationship. It's only right that I stand up for this matter." Fu Miao'an patted the junior who was three years younger than him. How long could he hold onto the eighth-rank position, given his decisiveness?

And myself,

However, he intends to remain in the position of a sixth-rank judge for life, just like his master.

In the future, I may have to accept assignments from Wen Ziji.

It's not surprising to form a good relationship.

but,

Fu Miao'an was indeed under pressure. Logically, without being appointed by the emperor or the prefect, and not being present, he shouldn't have come so directly. If the prefect refused to sign the official document tomorrow, he risked being impeached by the supervisory authorities.

The case is becoming urgent.

Since this involves the handling of so many people, some slippery individuals have long since pretended to be asleep and haven't come out to get involved.

although,

Xia Youmi, who was far away in Feihua Pavilion, was also one of those who went to bed early, but she really didn't interfere at all.

Every year, she carefully recalled that the conversations between the sisters in the pavilion during this period did not involve any conspiracy, especially the matter of poisoning someone in public.

that,

The female protagonist, Zhou Yin, may be implicated and have some interaction with the male protagonist, but the truth may have nothing to do with her.

At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM),

They simply went to the west of the city to wait for Panlan and Guinu, who were there to meet Zhouyin, Yayun, Bingxiang, and others, to return.

They were in a very sorry state.

The other brothels in the city were also brightly lit, with noisy discussions taking place inside.

But when they returned to Feihua Pavilion, they found it unusually quiet.

This would be the case under normal circumstances.

But with such a big event happening tonight, shouldn't they be anxiously waiting at the door for news? Why are they all sleeping so soundly?

The gatekeeper came over and reported the situation to Panlan and the others.

original,

When a disturbance occurred outside the pavilion at Hai Shi (9-11 PM), some people wanted to inquire about it, but they dared not go out without orders.

In desperation, they found the high-ranking pimp leader who was stationed at Xia Youmi's door. He was quick-witted and agile, which was why Panlan had assigned him the important task of bringing people to the rescue as soon as trouble happened.

Indeed, he holds the only bronze medal that allows him to travel.

Those sharp-eared servants spoke words of encouragement to him, but the pimp did not move.

Unable to bear the noise any longer, and worried that the future successor inside might have some special instructions, he knocked on the door and asked Xia Youmi a few questions.

Xia Youmi suggested that everyone should remain still and wait for Panlan. Without a knock from Kaifeng Prefecture, they should not run around like outsiders.

therefore,

Knowing the rules, the pimp gave the order in a stern tone, which frightened those who were unaware of the situation so much that they only dared to lock themselves in their rooms and count their belongings, fearing that something unexpected might happen and they wouldn't have time to escape.

There was some shouting outside, not too loud, not too soft.

Feihua Pavilion has a clear response plan: as long as no troops from Kaifeng Prefecture are sent to surround them, they should obediently maintain the status quo.

"Thank goodness! I didn't go to inquire about it." Some of the managers who returned from outside said dejectedly.

"I've heard about it too. Last night, the military patrol arrested a lot of people loitering around. Regardless of whether they were suspected or not, they were taken back for questioning and to sign off before anything else."

"We were sensible; we didn't suffer any losses this time." Some people began to flatter Panlan's wisdom.

But her expression suddenly worsened, and she snapped, "Shut up!"

The pimp who went to the west of the city didn't dare to tell the truth. He could only take away the person who had gone back to his carefree life last night and hadn't cared about the affairs of the pavilion or the Wen family, and prepare to go back to his room and talk behind closed doors.

"what!"

"Shh, the girl hasn't woken up yet, we can't make a fuss."

"I know, but are the three of them really locked up?" His face showed unspeakable fear.

So many people were released last night, even some of the prostitutes who performed at the banquet returned to their chambers.

Unfortunately,

The three from Feihua Pavilion were placed under special detention.

We still can't get any information.

In any case, it's not a good thing.
