[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 4 Undercurrent [English]

It was still raining outside, and because the windows were closed, the sound of pedestrians passing by on the street was muffled by a layer of fog. Compared with the eerie and silent atmosphere in the house, it actually made the heart beat a little faster.

Su Moyi seemed to have heard it, but also seemed not to have heard it.

From the beginning to now, the whole person is like a jade sculpture, hidden in the fragrance of tea, without distinguishing emotions.

Perhaps it was the pressure of someone who had been an official for a long time, or maybe it was the temperament of someone who came from a noble family, Lin Wanqing put away the recklessness just now for no reason, and only raised her eyes to look at him.

Putting her white jade-like fingers on the rim of the cup, she patted it three times. Su Moyi said with a half-smile, “Lin Lu’s analysis is reasonable.”

Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment. This compliment didn’t sound like a compliment, so she didn’t know how to answer the question. She only asked in a low voice: “Then Mr. Su wants to take away this case?”

Su Moyi didn’t reply, she just raised the corner of her mouth, stood up and lifted up the train of her robe as if to leave.

Lin Wanqing was even more confused and turned around after he, “Master Su?”

The person in front of me paused, and there was both appreciation and regret in his voice.

“This case belongs to Jingzhao Mansion. Although Dali Temple has the right to make proposals, since Li Jingzhao claims that the case has been solved, it is a matter for review by the Ministry of Punishment.”

“So even if your Excellency knows that Wang Hu has been wrongly accused and the real culprit is at large, you don’t plan to intervene?”

Su Moyi turned to look at her. Because of the difference in stature between the two, he leaned forward slightly and looked at Lin Wanqing with disdainful eyes: “I don’t know that Wang Hu is innocent, but I know that you only know about the rape and murder case, not the Wang Hu case. You only know Li Jingzhao, but you don’t understand me.”

He smiled and asked with a bit of questioning determination: “Isn’t it?”

Lin Wanqing had nothing to say.

Su Moyi walked straight out of the small room and ordered the guards to prepare the car.

It wasn’t until Su Moyi and the others left the restaurant and got on the carriage that Lin Wanqing came back to her senses. She looked at Liang Weiping who was even more confused than she was and asked, “What did he mean by that sentence just now?”

*
There is some water on the streets washed by the rain, and there will be little water stains when the wheels run over.

Ye Qing was riding the horse, occasionally turning his head to look at the person behind him who was a little unusual today.

He has followed Su Moyi for nearly ten years, and this is the first time he has seen his master do such an unbelievable thing.

First, he was sent to follow the two petty officials, and then he was asked to invite the two people who insulted him.Finally, I left the restaurant with a smile and contentment…

The more Ye Qing thought about it, the more strange he felt. He accidentally pulled the reins in his hand, startling the horse and causing a ruckus in the carriage.

“If you look around and curse in your heart, don’t follow me. Go to Dali Temple to clean up from tomorrow.”

An unhurried voice came from behind, not angry or authoritative.

Ye Qing felt a shiver run down his spine, and he turned around as if he was in a hurry, but he heard the person behind him say again: “That little clerk is indeed a rare talent in prison, and just being a clerk is a derogation of his talent.”

Ye Qing was shocked and felt that his master might have the ability to read minds. No one’s thoughts at any time could escape his eyes.

“Then why don’t you…”

Before Ye Qing could finish asking, Su Moyi laughed and threw something on the small case in the car with a muffled sound.

“It’s a pity that he only knows how to solve crimes and has no knowledge of officialdom. Zhang Yang’s temperament is not a good thing in Dali Temple.”

Ye Qing didn’t expect this and asked again: “How are you preparing, sir?”

Su Moyi was silent for a moment, her eyes fell on the file on the small case, and the look in her eyes brightened a little.

He folded his index finger and thumb on his knees and said warmly, “Just wait, you will understand after some hardship.”

“But you really don’t care about those two cases?” Ye Qing asked cautiously, perhaps because he was afraid of being criticized.

Su Moyi was too lazy to say more to him, and said angrily: “Is this the first day you have met me? The emperor just wanted to clean up the imperial court, and now there are no more people in the Songzhong Academy. How deep is Wang Hu’s case? He is not clear about a small record, and you still don’t know?”

Ye Qing was scolded by Su Moyi for no reason, and he said unwillingly: “Then if you just leave it alone and go to the Ministry of Punishment, how can you have any room?”

Su Moyi sneered, and the distinct knuckles of her index fingers hit the low table in the car, making a muffled sound.

Before Song Zhengxing was promoted to Zhongshu Ling, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

This case has reached the Ministry of Punishment, and down the line, he happened to dig up the remnants of his subordinates who stayed in the Ministry of Punishment.Look up and see what kind of monsters, ghosts, and monsters are standing behind this person.

You must know that the few cases that the emperor is staring at cannot be handled by just a mere secretary of the Central Committee.

But with all these twists and turns and court intrigues, he was too lazy to tell Ye Qing, so he just said coldly: “You are my personal bodyguard, not the Prime Minister of Dali Temple.”

“…” Ye Qing was speechless and thought that his ancestor’s venomous tongue had relapsed, so he had no choice but to hang his head and drive silently.

After passing a few streets, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Dali Temple.

Su Moyi took off his official robe and got out of the car. He ordered the people to move all the files in the car to the study room where he was processing official documents. The sound of wheels came from a distance through the rain.

“Your Majesty,” the visitor was the old steward of Su Moyi’s mansion. He handed a jade plaque to Su Moyi and said, “Your Majesty, have you forgotten what day it is?”

Su Moyi looked at the jade plaque and was startled, suddenly remembering that today is the Queen Mother’s birthday.

It seems that I have been so busy recently that I can even forget days like this.The Queen Mother raised him like a father and a mother. If she knew that he couldn’t even remember her birthday, she would be really sad.

He couldn’t help feeling a little regretful. He took the jade token from the steward’s hand and looked up behind him.

As expected, he was a considerate old man, even bringing the clothes he needed to wear when entering the palace.

Su Moyi felt relieved and followed the old steward in to change clothes. She casually ordered Ye Qing to find the set of unique books collected in He’s study room.

The Queen Mother loves books. In her early years before she left the imperial court, she had the temperament of a little girl and loved all kinds of short story books.

Later, when she entered the palace and received divine favor, she had to be dignified and generous, and her mother should be courteous to the world. She left behind such unseemly hobbies as reading storybooks.

Of course, Mr. Su, who is very perceptive, can see everything clearly.

After Su Moyi had sorted everything out and wrapped the storybook in a history book, she entered the palace before the banquet started.

The Queen Mother’s birthday banquet is a big event.But the Queen Mother has always been frugal, and this time it wasn’t her tenth birthday, so she didn’t make any extravagant arrangements.The banquet is only held in the imperial garden of the palace, and relatives of the emperor and officials of the third rank or above can bring their family members to attend.

It was still early when Su Moyi arrived. After meeting with his colleagues and clan members who were present, his attention turned to Song Zhongshu’s position – Kong Kong.

Although it was reasonable, Su Moyi felt an unexpected wave of depression in her heart…

“Jingche.”

Su Moyi paused slightly, then turned around and bumped into the person beside him.Just when he was about to bow and apologize, someone held his hand in a very affectionate manner.he was startled, and then said, “King Liang.”

Seeing He’s formality, King Liang smiled to himself, loosened his hand and said, “In terms of seniority, I am your great-uncle and grandfather. Is this habit of calling for titles at the first word, but was it forced in the officialdom?”

Su Moyi nodded but did not answer.

In terms of seniority, King Liang was indeed his mother’s uncle. However, given his in-law relationship with the prince’s mother’s family, he was known throughout the court as a “princeling”.

Su Moyi only worked for the emperor and did not want to get entangled with any forces in the court, so she adhered to a business-like attitude on such occasions.

“You also know about that?”

Su Moyi looked up and saw Prince Liang looking at Song Zhongshu’s empty seat.

“Well, I didn’t find out until I was ordered to go to Jingzhao Mansion today.”

“I heard that the murderer was arrested on the spot?” Liang Wang brushed his sleeves and asked casually.

The two of them walked along the path in the imperial garden to the seats where the royal family members were seated.

The atmosphere was filled with the fragrance of flowers, but Su Moyi frowned slightly when he heard this, and replied lukewarmly: “The arrested person has not been reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment, so he may not be considered a murderer.”

A few hearty laughs came, and the person walking in front stopped and looked back at he, with a joking tone in his tone: “I have learned a lesson from Mr. Su’s strict and by-the-book style of doing things according to the rules.”

Seeing that Su Moyi still had no expression, King Liang changed the topic and said, “I have heard about King Hu of Jinwu Guard.”

“Oh?” Su Moyi was surprised.

“Before, he had quite a bad reputation among the Jinwu Guards. According to his colleagues, Wang Hu was addicted to drinking and sex. He was also a frequent visitor to Qinlou Chu Pavilion. He never thought that he would indulge in this…” Liang Wang sighed, and said with a bit of regret in his tone: “He is now arrested, and he has to die to apologize. It can be regarded as a justified crime.”

Su Moyi didn’t answer and followed Prince Liang silently along the path.

The willows on the palace walls are in the moonlight, and the night wind blows in the evening tower.

The melon-shaped palace lantern casts a dim halo on he, making the whole person look close and indifferent.

It has to be said that Su Moyi, who is only in his weak years now, even when facing a prince who is much older than herself, the fierceness infiltrated by strict laws also carries a natural majesty.

When he doesn’t speak, he can put an invisible pressure on people.

King Liang also fell silent. He was about to say something more, but the roaring sound of Dahuangmen came from a distance. Everyone present knelt down when they heard the sound.

The banquet began, and after all the officials paid homage, there was singing and dancing.

Su Moyi’s position was arranged among the princes, only one step lower than the prince.

He sat down and raised his eyes to see the Queen Mother not far away.The old man was wearing a festive gold-red dress today. He was leaning sideways to talk to the nanny next to him, but his eyes were staring at the crowd below, as if he was looking for someone.

Who else could you be looking for?

Su Moyi lowered his head and chuckled, rubbing the script with his fingertips, making the script rustle.

“Royal Grandma,” he walked slowly over, “Today is your birthday, and your grandson will definitely be here.”

The Queen Mother then focused her eyes and watched He’s face instinctively stretch out. But halfway through, she didn’t know what to think of, so she pretended to be sulky and stopped it, suppressing a weird look of being neither up nor down, laughing and angry at the same time.

The Queen Mother raised her hand and grabbed Su Moyi in front of her.

“I bet you still know the birthday of your royal grandmother?”

With this tone, he knew the expression of the Queen Mother without even looking.

Su Moyi immediately handed over the small storybook in her hand and said with a smile: “This is a gift specially prepared for the emperor’s grandmother.”

The Queen Mother became even more angry when she saw a set of history books in his hand. Just when she was about to get angry, Su Moyi moved to her side, blocking the sight of the palace maids, and opened a corner of the book and whispered: “The only copy.”

The anger that was about to burst out instantly disappeared. The Queen Mother smiled happily and ordered people to put the books away, then turned to Su Moyi and muttered, “It would not be a pity to use your heart on an old woman like me. It would be great to use it to coax the little girl.”

Su Moyi’s spine trembled, with an unknown premonition.

The Queen Mother has been keeping an eye on his marriage for more than a day or two. It was fine before, and it was always her fault.But since he became the minister of Dali Temple, he has gradually become busy.Every time the Queen Mother meets He, the topic of conversation becomes “forced marriage”…

“This… ahem… Isn’t it because I am busy with official duties and can’t spare my time to pay attention to others…”

He put his hand on his fist and coughed twice. Looking for a reason, he turned around and prepared to escape, but was pulled back by the Queen Mother again.

“You said that you deal with dead people or criminals all day long. You used to be a handsome young man, but now you always have a straight face. When grandma sees you, you have to wear an extra coat, otherwise you will always feel nervous.”

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she actually approved a thin coat.

“…” Su Moyi stood calmly, not daring to say anything.

“Grandma feels that you have reached the age of starting a family and starting a business early. It would be a good idea to find someone to take care of you or take care of you, so that Grandma can feel more at ease.”

“My grandson respects my grandmother’s teachings.” Su Moyi didn’t dare to listen any more, so she quickly bowed obediently and prepared to leave.

“So, don’t run away!” The Queen Mother said and pulled Su Moyi back, “Did you know that your cousin returned to the palace a few days ago? We haven’t seen you for many years, so she misses you so much. You just came to the palace once after all. Can you meet her later?”
