From eunuch to emperor

"Since you're not there, how do you know how General Shuihan died?"

Bai Qiulian interrupted.

Long Chen ignored her and completely ignored her.

"I'm asking you something!"

Bai Qiulian patted the table and stood up.

Long Chen crossed Erlang's legs, completely ignoring Bai Qiulian.

Afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, Bai Anning asked, "Since Long Shangshu is not around, how can we conclude that General Shuihan was injured by Shangguanwei?"

Long Chen said: "We've checked her injuries, and it's true that her heart is hurt. She said it herself, when she was hit by Shangguanwei's halberd, the heart shield was also shattered."

The master book of the Metropolitan Procuratorate next to it recorded them one by one.

Outside the door, Xuanyi, Qingyue, and Zhang Qian listened quietly to the conversation inside.

Bai Qiulian suddenly said to Bai Anning: "The three of them are also parties involved, so it's inappropriate to stand at the door!"

"They heard it, what should we do next when the confession is made?"

Hu Chengfu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, echoed: "Yes, the three of them are also parties involved, so they shouldn't be standing at the door."

Bai Anning was about to speak, but Long Chen said: "What is collusion? Bai Qiulian, you're labeling me again! Am I a criminal?"

Bai Qiulian's eyes widened angrily, and Bai Anning quickly persuaded him: "Long Shangshu is cooperating with our inquiries, but the three of them really shouldn't be here, please understand Long Shangshu."

Long Chen sneered, turned his head and waved to Zhang Qian and the others, signaling them to go outside.

Of course Zhang Qian and the others were unwilling, they were afraid that Long Chen would be in danger.

Bai Qiulian took the opportunity to sneer: "I heard that Long Shangshu has many confidante friends in the harem, it really is true."

Bai Anning and Hu Chengfu also lowered their heads and smiled secretly, all civil and military officials in the court knew about this.

Long Chen ignored Bai Qiulian, but turned his head to look at the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who was recording.

"Master Li, Bai Shangshu said that I have many confidante, do you think so?"

The head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is none other than Bai Qiulian's husband Li Junjun.

Li Junjun looked up at Long Chen, not knowing what Long Chen meant.

"Your officer...don't know."

Bai Qiulian reprimanded with cold eyebrows: "Are you deaf! You don't even know about such things! Trash!"

Being scolded by his wife as trash in public, Li Junjun didn't dare to refute, he could only lower his head, his brush trembling slightly.

Long Chen laughed and said: "Bai Shangshu is right, I do have many confidante, but we are friends of gentlemen, I am a eunuch, what can I do?"

"I'm not as dedicated as Bai Shangshu. Even though I'm already a married woman and my daughter is so old, I still miss my good lover."

Of course it was Jing Tianlie who was talking about, everyone knew about her flirting with Jing Tianlie.

Bai Qiulian's face was flushed by Long Chen's words, Li Junjun's face was even colder, the brush in his hand dangled in the air, a drop of ink fell on the paper, he didn't deal with it, he just stared blankly at the booklet.

Bai Qiulian was furious and scolded: "How dare you call him a great general!"

Long Chen sneered and said: "When did I ever mention the Great General? I said your lover, so could it be that your lover is the Great General?"

Bai Qiulian's face flushed with anger, but Bai Anning and Hu Chengfu didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Bai Qiulian is nothing, Jing Tianlie and the others can't afford to offend him.

"Long Shangshu, we are serious about investigating the case, so we should not involve other people."

Hu Chengfu, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, came out to persuade the fight.

Long Chen sneered and said: "Hu Shangshu, you're pulling sideways, obviously this old hag finds fault again and again, why are you persuading me? You should persuade this crazy woman!"

Bai Qiulian was so angry that he wanted to do something, Hu Chengfu turned his head and said to Bai Qiulian: "Bai Shangshu, let's handle the case seriously, don't talk about anything else."

Bai Anning continued: "Long Shangshu, please go out for a while to avoid suspicion."

Long Chen turned his head and waved, Zhang Qian shook her head, they refused to leave.

"It's okay, this is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who dares to assassinate here."

Only then did the three of Zhang Qian wait outside.

Bai Anning continued to ask: "According to what Long Shangshu said, General Shuihan was injured by Shangguan Wei's halberd, and the injury was in the heart, and he died suddenly the next day."

Long Chen nodded and said: "That's right, that's it."

Hu Chengfu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, said: "But we asked some sergeants in Linjiang City, and they said that General Shui's jawbone was broken, and there seemed to be traces of being tortured. What is the reason?"

Bai Qiulian and Bai Anjing waited for Long Chen's answer.

During this time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment were not idle. They went to Linjiang City and questioned some soldiers.

Long Chen remained silent.

Bai Qiulian felt that he had grasped the key point, and continued to ask: "Where did General Shui get his head injury? I heard that the injury is very new and very heavy."

"Don't tell me, it was also caused by Shangguanwei."

Long Chen said lightly: "That's right, it was caused by Shangguan Wei."

Bai Qiulian was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Okay, well said, hurry up and write it down!"

Li Junjun was scolded by his wife, and he didn't dare to lift his head, so he wrote it down silently.

Bai Anning asked again: "What kind of injury did General Shui suffer, does Long Shangshu remember?"

Long Chen scratched his head, and said: "It's because the halberd pierced through the heart guard and caused serious injuries."

Bai Qiulian asked: "Is that a blunt force injury?"

Long Chen ignored it, and Bai Anning asked again: "If it was injured by the halberd, the wound should look like a blunt weapon, but is that so?"

Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, that's it."

Hu Chengfu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, asked: "Are you sure?"

Long Chen nodded, and said: "It should be like this."

Bai Qiulian was overjoyed, pointed at Li Junjun and scolded: "Write it down!"

Li Junjun bowed his head and did not speak, silently recording the process of the inquiry.

"Okay, we're done asking, please let the two generals Xuan Yi and Qing Yue come in."

Bai Anning told Long Chen that because the three of them listened to Long Chen, and Xuan Yi and Qingyue were both princesses, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

But Bai Qiulian said: "No, you can't let him call someone, who knows if he will whisper."

Long Chen smiled and said: "Bai Yushi go by himself, lest some people chew their tongues."

After finishing speaking, Long Chen got up and left the Metropolitan Procuratorate through the side door.

...

Fengming Palace.

Yingfeng entered the bedroom, and the empress was reviewing the memorial.

"My lord, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has called Long Chengen over, and Xuan Yi, Qingyue, and Zhang Qian have also been called over for questioning."

"The fourth princess has just passed by, and she should be inquiring right now."

Every move of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is being monitored by the Empress.

The Empress nodded and said: "Let the wind out, spread out all the matters of today's inquiry, and let everyone discuss it."

Yingfeng bowed and said: "My minister obeys the order."

...

When Di Luoxi came out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xuanyi and Qingyue were waiting at the door.

"Princess, are they not rude?"

Xuan Yi asked angrily.

Di Luoxi sneered and said, "Irreverent? Who dares? Is Bai Qiu practicing?"

During the questioning just now, Bai Qiulian was very rude to Xuan Yi, Qing Yue, and Zhang Qian.

So they also asked Di Luoxi if she was being rude.

Although Bai Qiulian relied on Jing Tianlie's support and was not polite to them, he was still polite to Di Luoxi, a princess is a princess.

Qingyue said unhappily: "Bai Qiulian was very cruel to us, and even scolded Long Chengen."

Di Luoxi frowned, and asked, "Did Long Chengen let her scold you?"

Xuan Yi said: "No, Xiao Longlong scolded back."

Only then did Di Luoxi feel happier: "That's right, you should scold me back."

The three of them walked back and saw a carriage parked on the side of the street, which was luxuriously decorated.

"Whose carriage? Such a luxury?"

Qingyue muttered, and followed Di Luoxi back to the West Palace.
