Liu Jin got up early the next day, with black and blue under his eyes.
The people under his hands heard the sound of him getting up, and hurriedly came in with a basin to serve him.
After washing his face, Liu Jin shook off a lot of the chaos in his mind and became sober.
He waved his hand and asked the little eunuch in the room to leave.
Liu Jin thought about it all night last night and couldn't think of any good way to solve this matter.
If he kept hiding it, he wouldn't dare.
The governor's method was not to scare people.
After thinking about it, now he can only tell the truth. .
He sighed, and all the unwillingness in his heart surged up.
He struggled at the bottom of the harem for many years before he climbed to the position of a fourth-rank internal official.
If he lost his official position or lost his official position because of this mistake, It's his life, of course he doesn't want to Liu Jin put on the dark uniform of a civil servant, stepped on his black boots, and headed to the side hall of Chang'an Palace.
He wanted to give it a try, maybe the governor would be merciful and spare him.
Liu Jin waited outside the door for a long time, his cheeks hurting from the cold wind, before there was some movement in the room.
About a quarter of an hour later, Song Duan finished dressing up.
When he heard that Liu Jin was outside asking for a meeting, he paused with the tea cup in his hand and asked casually, "Did he say anything?"
The chamberlain shook his head, "Eunuch Liu didn't say anything, and I don't know either."
Song Duan tapped the rim of the teacup with his pretty fingers and thought for a while before saying, "Let him in."
It just so happened that he also had something to tell Liu Jin.
Liu Jin bowed his waist and entered the house.
He drank a cup of tea when he came in.
But at this moment, he still felt thirsty and all the words were stuck in his throat.
At this moment, facing the unruffled governor in front of him, he didn't even say a word.
Dare to say it.
Song Duan was sitting on the nanmu chair, wearing a crescent-colored robe, a jade-faced crown, a golden ribbon tied around his waist, and an exquisitely carved jade pendant hanging on it.
He raised his eyebrows and didn't hear a sound for a long time.
I was a little impatient to wait, "Why don't you say anything?"
Liu Jin straightened up, but did not dare to look directly at the person in front of him, "Superintendent, the two stewards in the clerk's room are dead."
Song Duan pursed his lips and frowned slightly.
Liu Jin could be said to be the person he had single-handedly promoted.
He knew how to measure and was cruel.
Only then did he secure the position he had given him.
The clerk's office belonged to the Chief of Ceremonies.
If The death of two people is not a big deal, not to mention that the position of being in charge is not an important one.
Now Liu Jin deliberately mentioned two sentences, there must be some clues in them.
"How did you die?"
Liu Jin gritted his teeth and knelt on his knees, looking at his toes with a pair of eyes.
His voice seemed to be trembling, "Master Governor, I asked the two men to search for the body of the third prince.
The two stewards have not returned yet, so I went to search for it." , there were only two corpses left, and they died tragically.”
All the princes were ranked by internal officials according to their birth date.
Of course, the person who ordered this matter was Song Duan.
He behaved erratically, even killing people.
He made more than thirty wooden signs, and whichever one he drew was chosen.
Which one to kill.
Song Duan was silent, and then he laughed slowly, with a cold smile, and raised his eyes to glance at the man kneeling on the ground, "Didn't you tell me that the man was dead?"
Liu Jin bowed his head and said, "Master Governor, I didn't expect that the third prince was not dead."

Song Duan laughed angrily, waved his hand to let him get up from the ground, and then asked: "Where are the others?"
"Run away."
Song Duan sneered, his raised phoenix eyes looked deserted, "There is only so much space in the palace, where can he go?"
This third prince impressed him.
Of course, it would not be easy to live for more than ten years without the protection of his mother and concubine.
"Lord Governor, I really haven't found this person for a while."
Song Duan turned the beads on his wrist, not knowing what he was thinking, and pondered for a moment, "What's his name?"
Liu Jin was slightly stunned.
It was a shame that he had made the original wooden sign, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to remember the name.
"Back to the governor, the third prince's name is Zhao Junhan."
Song Duan softly read the three words Zhao Junhan, which meant a lot, "He can't escape.
No one can help him.
He can't hide for long.
If he still can't be found after some time, that would be interesting."
Liu Jin swallowed, "Supervisor, slave, slave."
He couldn't even finish the sentence.
Song Duan put down the tea cup in his hand, which made a loud noise when it hit the table.
"Go down and get twenty boards yourself.
If the third prince finds him, you don't have to rush to kill him.
Send him to the governor."
Liu Jin nodded repeatedly, "I understand."
"Get out."
"yes."
After Liu Jin quit the Nuan Pavilion, he consciously went to receive his punishment.
Twenty strokes was already very light.
In the past few years, the governor was not so easy to talk to.
At the right time, Song Duan changed into a dark blue brocade robe, with green silk tied high on the jade crown on his head, his face was fair and delicate, and his eyes were cold.
Song Duan wore a cloak made of pure white fox fur and faced the cold wind outside the door and walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion, where the emperor's office was to review and approve memorials.
It used to be Emperor Yuan's study, but now it has become his.
All memorials written in the court must go through his hands before they can be presented to Emperor Yuan.
With the power of Zhu Pi in hand, even if the officials in the court wanted to impeach and execute him, they had no way.
Warm incense had been lit in Wenyuan Pavilion for a long time, and the temperature inside the palace was much warmer than outside.
Song Duan had not eaten breakfast just now.
As soon as he sat at the desk, someone from the palace brought hot porridge, and he ate it.
After two mouthfuls, he was withdrawn.
Song Duan was a capable minister to a certain extent.
He was cunning and cruel.
If anything he said went against him, he would drag people to Xichang and deal with them severely.
The torture would be worse than death, but he was not useless in government affairs.
In the face of natural disasters , he can always think of a way.
Of course, those ministers were always shameless about his methods.
On the desk were the remaining memorials from yesterday.
Song Duan flipped through them roughly.
Mo Yue found that they were all trivial matters.
There was a love letter in his hand.

It was written by Wang Bingkun, a third-grade Hanlin scholar, for the official who had been imprisoned not long ago.
A letter of love from Yuanwailang Zhu Qi.
Song Duan roughly scanned the contents of the love letter and sneered.
Wang Bingkun was worthy of being a Jinshi.
His literary talent was outstanding and he was very particular about the choice of words and sentences.
He thought that if this love letter was really presented to the emperor, then Zhu Qi would probably really He will have a chance to turn over, but it's a pity that he was the first person to see it.
Without even blinking, Song Duan threw the love letter into the brazier and it burned completely in an instant.
Song Duan read the memorial for an hour before processing less than half of it.
He raised his eyes and rubbed his sore temples.
His eyes were a little tired.
Before he could relax for long, he heard footsteps outside the house.
The heavy palace door was pushed open from the outside, and several familiar faces rushed in front of Song Duan.
The man was dressed in rich clothes and wore a mink scarf around his neck.
The color was black and bright.
The leading man was slightly chubby, with a round face and big, round eyes that were smiling with only a slit left.
He looked harmless and simple, and he didn't have the tone of a eunuch when he spoke.
He handed the heater in his hand to the little eunuch who was waiting beside him, and said to Song Duan: "Governor Song really helped the emperor solve his problems.
His diligent appearance really makes the entire family feel ashamed."
Song Duan squinted at Wang Quan and said sarcastically: "Since the factory owner feels ashamed, why is he still free to come to the governor?"
Wang Quan was still smiling and had a good temper, "Isn't there something important I want to discuss with the Governor?"
Song Duan stood up, his tall body giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression, "If you have anything to say, please speak directly."
Wang Quan was short in stature and looked even less imposing in front of Song Duan.
"Zhu Qi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Service, has been in prison for more than a month.
The Ministry of Punishment has found out that the corruption and perversion of the law was groundless.
The results of the investigation have also come out.
This man can He has been detained in Xichang.
If the governor still refuses to release him, he may not be able to convince the public. " Song Duan chuckled, pinched his fingertips, raised his eyebrows and said, "When will it be the turn of the Criminal Department to investigate this case from the Criminal Division?"
Zhu Qi was an official of the imperial court.
Logically speaking, if a crime was committed, it could be handed over to the Criminal Department for investigation.
However, Emperor Yuan ordered this case to be handed over to him from the beginning, and he then transferred the case to the Criminal Punishment Department.
To say that Zhu Qi is indeed innocent, but who makes him belong to the queen's faction?
Song Duan didn't particularly hate anyone, except for the Queen and the Minister of Civil Affairs.
He turned a blind eye to the others and tortured them before letting them be reincarnated.
But for Qu Wan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Song Duan could not do anything.
He won't let it go so easily.
The newly invented punishments in the West Factory were all invented for Qu Wan.
Song Duan thought silently, not knowing whether Qu Wan could survive one round in the future.
Wang Quan was the admiral of Dongchang, and Zhu Qi could not match him.
However, Wang Quan was loyal to the queen's only son Zhao Shizong, so he naturally wanted to pave the way for Zhao Shizong.
In other words, Wang Quan placed all his bets on Zhao Shizong.
Today's Dongchang is not as good as before, and Wang Quan has been suppressed by him for several years.
Wang Quan will not give in.
"The governor doesn't mean to let people go."
Song Duan nodded and said: "Don't let go."
"It's not that the governor is deliberately making things difficult for others.

If the factory owner has any dissatisfaction, he can go to the Criminal Punishment Department and talk to him."
Wang Quan smiled, his expression became colder, and his words became less pleasant, "This Department of Punishment is under the supervision of the Governor.
Life and death are all decided by the Governor, right?
The Governor must be clear.
Both of you and I are working for the Emperor, and it would not look good if any conflicts arise and are brought to the attention of the Emperor."
Song Duan deepened the smile at the corner of his mouth, and did not take his words to heart at all, "In the whole world, is it the king's land?
All the large and small agencies in the palace belong to the emperor.
If you feel that the punishment department is unfair, Although you can go to Dali Temple or Jinyiwei to check."
Wang Quan was so angry that he couldn't suppress his anger for a while.
Who didn't know that the people in Jinyiwei and Dali Temple despised eunuchs the most?
Dongchang and Jinyiwei also had an incompatible relationship, and they fought to the death overtly and covertly.
Wang Well, he didn't believe that Song Duan could suppress him for the rest of his life.
"In this case, the Zajia family will not disturb the governor."
Song Duan raised his eyes, stared at his back and said lightly, "Father-in-law looks much tougher."
Wang Quan paused slightly, then strode away.
The cold wind poured into his clothes, but he didn't feel cold.
He touched his face with his fingers and smiled.
It seemed that the effect of eating those things was quite obvious.
He had fallen into a trap without realizing it.
The most precious thing a eunuch wants most is his own roots that have been cut off.
Wang Quan is cunning and double-dealing.
When he smiles at you, he might be thinking about how to trick you to death.
This is why he has climbed up to the level step by step.
But no matter how smart a person is, there are times when he is confused.
A few days ago, he overheard someone below saying: "Eating a baby's brain can regenerate the penis."
This was so convincing that he was moved by it.
That was something he had lost.
If it could grow back, it would be the equivalent of rebirth.
After Wang Quan gained power and status, he thought about how to become a man again.
So they secretly handed over a few babies, either by stealing them or robbing them, and then dug out their brains and ate them for a month.
As for the effect, it was there, but he couldn't see it himself, but Song Duan's words just now made him a lot more confident.
When he grows that thing, he will see who dares to suppress him Song Duan announced the person hiding in the dark outside the house and asked: "How much does Wang Quan believe in the matter of eating marrow?"
"Back to the Governor, he never raised any suspicion."
Song Duan smiled and said, "Very good.
In a while, the traces will be revealed to Lu Chengyuan, the commander of Jinyiwei."
Song Duan and Wang Quan have been fighting for a year, and the battle between Dongchang and Xichang has never stopped.
There is always a winner.
Song Duan glanced out the window.
The red plum blossoms were in full bloom, covered with a layer of white snow.
The fragrant aroma penetrated his nose and lingered in the warm attic.
Three days later, Emperor Yuan ordered the Jin Yiwei to thoroughly investigate the theft of the baby in the capital.
The deadline was one month and the case had to be solved.
The Ministry of Punishment assisted in the investigation and Dali Temple tried the case.
This infant loss case is of great importance, and many ministers have signed a petition.
If ordinary people lost their children, they would not alarm the three important departments of Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple.

However, in the past month or so, it was only the imperial court that lost their children.
No trace could be found of Chongchen's newborn baby boy.
Some of the children were only children, an incident that caused panic.
Lu Chengyuan was summoned by Emperor Yuan at night.
Jinyiwei was loyal to the emperor and did not need to obey anyone except the emperor.
Lu Chengyuan was wearing a black python robe, standing tall and straight in front of Emperor Yuan, with sharp eyebrows, a hard face expressionless, lips pursed tightly, and he was as silent as a stone.
His face was not like Song Duan's evil temperament is not as clear-spirited as Zhao Junhan's, but rather cold and handsome.
Emperor Yuan was over forty this year.
The frown at the corner of his eyes looked a bit older, and his eyes were gradually becoming dirty and lost the clarity of his first emperor.
Song Duan personally handed the zhezi to Emperor Yuan.
After taking a look at it at that time, he didn't take it to heart.
He could just leave such a small matter to the Ministry of Punishment, but the zhezi mentioned it for several days in a row.
He didn't Not even paying attention to it.
Although Emperor Yuan was dissolute, he was still as clear as a mirror.
He generally understood the factions in the court, and he also knew the struggles of various parties.
He is pretending to be stupid.
The harder you fight, the better.
Only in this way can his position be secure.
Emperor Yuan played a balancing role.
He would help whichever faction was at a disadvantage.
There was no winner after all.
As for the candidate for the crown prince, it is too early to talk about it now.
Song Duan and Lu Chengyuan are the sharp swords in the hands of Emperor Yuan.
One is used for those shameful deeds, and the other is bright.
Song Duan also knew this.
Emperor Yuan must maintain the image of a benevolent king, and cruelty could only be left to him.
Those officials who claimed to be just and clear-minded in the Jinluan Palace were actually disgusted by Emperor Yuan in his heart.
The sages and sages said the same thing: this was not allowed and that was not allowed.
"Lu Aiqing, you need to solve the case quickly to prevent people from being upset.
I have always believed in Jin Yiwei's ability.
Don't let me down this time."
Lu Chengyuan stepped forward, "I will not disappoint the emperor's expectations."
Lu Chengyuan reached the position of commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards at the age of thirty, which can be regarded as a legend.
This is not only because of his strong martial arts skills and his ability to stand out from many masters.
His carefulness and agility were also the reasons why Emperor Yuan promoted him in the first place.
Lu Chengyuan was originally a descendant of a martial arts family in the north of Weishan Mountain.
Later, he voluntarily submitted to the imperial court and became the emperor's eagle dog.
When the previous commander was in office, the Northern and Southern Zhili in the Jinyiwei were secretly fighting each other.
No one would submit to the other, so that Dongchang took the upper hand and had a higher status than the Jinyiwei.
But after Lu Chengyuan took office, the northern and southern Zhili administrations became harmonious and began to deal with the outside world together.
Lu Chengyuan was taciturn and didn't like to talk.
He had a natural majesty and imposing aura about him.
Perhaps because he had been carrying a knife for many years, he looked much more violent.
However, his face is still very heroic.
He has a sharp chin, a high bridge of nose, and handsome eyebrows.

If you ignore the cold aura around him, there will probably be many people who admire him.
"You go out."
Lu Chengyuan exited the inner hall, frowning.
He had a knife on his waist, and his palms were calloused.
He touched the handle of the knife and walked away, his feet as fast as the wind.
There were already people guarding the entrance of Huangji Palace, a man and a woman, but they were all wearing Jin Yiwei's clothes.
The man said: "Master Commander, are the subordinates in the inner palace able to search or not?"
Lu Chengyuan said coldly, "As long as we find out, there is no place we can't go to."
After saying this, he asked coldly: "Did you catch up with that person last night?"
"My subordinate was incompetent and let him run away.
The man's traces disappeared as soon as he reached the moat."
Lu Chengyuan raised his chin slightly, with a sophisticated attitude, "The body floated out from the river in the moat.
Let's check in the direction of the people in the palace."
"yes."
The Jin Yiwei moved quickly and started investigating the inner palace almost on the same day.
It was not possible to conclude that it was someone in the palace based on the direction of the body, but there were always clues.
Sishantang is far away from the inland river, and it is impossible to find it from here now, but it will always come.
He Ling's heart tightened when she heard the word Jin Yiwei.
She remembered that there were two lives between Jin Yiwei and her.
He Ling could no longer recall the face of the man in the flying fish suit, and couldn't even see it clearly in his dream.
But she thought that if she really saw it, she would definitely recognize it.
The man who killed her parents. gd1806102:
