Chapter 693 Liu Wei Is Just Rong Leng’s “Family Member”
Liu Wei slowly raised his head, cautiously.
As soon as he raised his head, the first thing that caught his eye was the old eyes that were calm but powerful, slightly cloudy. Liu Wei had to admit that the coercion of the king of a country was indeed well-deserved.
After just looking at each other for a moment, Liu Wei lowered his eyes and praised hurriedly: "I am scared."
Emperor Qian Ling smiled lightly.
The laughter in Liu Wei's ears made Liu Wei feel uncomfortable all over.
"Liu Qing, do you still remember the first time you met me in Fuping County?"
Liu Wei lowered his head and replied: "I dare not forget that when we first met in Fuping County, I was chasing the serial murder suspect. The emperor and the third prince passed by Lijia Village in Fuping County, but they were mistakenly thought by the villagers of Lijia Village. He is the murderer, take him away and confront him in court."
"At that time, you said that I was not the murderer."
Liu Wei said: "I am only speaking based on evidence. The time of death of the female corpse does not match the time when the emperor and the three princes passed by."
"But you didn't have to ignore the evidence, arrest me, and close the case! After all, if you continue to investigate a case that has no clues, it will only be a lot of trouble. But on the contrary, finding a scapegoat is the most important thing. A safe and quick way.”
"I am a widower. My duty is to redress the injustice of the deceased. If I solve the case casually, I don't have to wait for the court to investigate. Even the deceased themselves will have to knock on the door of my house in the middle of the night."
When Emperor Qian Ling heard this, he smiled again and asked, "Then do you think Qinyang will knock on your door?"
Liu Wei raised his head and glanced at Emperor Qian Ling, just once, and then said: "I don't know what the emperor means. I have nothing to do with the case of Princess Qinyang."
"Seeing Qinyang go away with injustice, what's the difference between this and not saving someone's life? Since you said that your duty is to redress the injustice of the deceased, why don't you care about Qinyang's injustice? Could it be my Tian family? Are our children as good as those little village girls from Fuping County?"
Liu Wei was stunned and did not speak.
Emperor Qian Ling looked at Liu Wei, but suddenly raised his hand and patted Liu Wei on the shoulder: "Liu Qing, I will leave my Qinyang to you."
Liu Wei had to say that the emperor was the emperor, his methods were indeed superb, and his ability to use both kindness and power was really easy to use.
Liu Wei was not sure whether Emperor Qian Ling truly trusted him or falsely trusted him, but Emperor Qian Ling's words gave him great face.
First talk about their first meeting, showing that they have friendship, and then entrusting them with important tasks. This will give people a feeling of favor.
If it were not Liu Wei, but someone else, in today's world where imperial power is supreme, if an emperor could be so kind and kind to you, thinking about it, it would definitely shake people's spirits and make them willing to devote themselves to him even if they die. Don't hesitate!
But others can only be others, but Liu Wei only saw the deep thoughts of Emperor Qian Ling.
Liu Wei knew that Emperor Qian Ling would definitely take over the Qinyang case himself.
This must mean absolutely.
Why? Because he had been with Rong Leng before, but now, Rong Leng was "not here" in Kyoto, but he was back.
No matter what his appearance means, or what Rong Leng's "delay in returning" means, Emperor Qian Ling needs to be on guard.
The simplest way for Emperor Qian Ling to prevent himself was to put himself in a place where he could easily see him.
Now that there is a murder case in the palace, Liu Wei's old profession is solving crimes and conducting autopsies. Of course Emperor Qian Ling will not miss this opportunity.
Therefore, Emperor Qian Ling probably didn't actually need to solve the case himself. Emperor Qian Ling just found an excuse to stay under his nose so that he could be monitored.
In the process, it would be better if Emperor Qian Ling could win over him and instigate him to betray him and let him reveal some secrets about Rong Ling, or he could lurk beside Rong Ling in the future and act as his thorn. .
However, the former one is easy to do, but the latter one is not.
After all, before leaving Beijing, Emperor Qian Ling knew that Rong Leng had a habit of cutting off his sleeves and had a secret relationship with "Mr. Liu".
Liu Wei knew those things on Emperor Qian Ling's mind almost without thinking. Because of this, Rong Leng did not stop himself from confronting the monarch head-on.
Because Rong Leng also knew that as long as he didn't show up for a day, Emperor Qian Ling would not harm Liu Wei.
Now Liu Wei was ostensibly an official of the imperial court, but in the eyes of Emperor Qian Ling, Liu Wei was just a "family member" outside Rong Ling.
And since they are family members, it is naturally more advantageous to detain the family members than to kill them.
After Liu Wei was silent for two full breaths, she raised her head again and saw the kind and elderly face of Emperor Qian Ling.
Emperor Qian Ling was just like Liu Wei when he first met him. He was informal, cheerful and wise. At a glance, no one would have guessed that underneath this good-natured skin, there was a heart that was ruthless and ruthless. .
Liu Wei cupped her hands again and said in a deep tone: "The Emperor is so kind to me, but I am so unworthy of it. Princess Qinyang died unjustly, and I also want to redress the injustice of the princess, but... with my current status, what should I do... "
"Don't worry, I will not entrust the life and death of a country's princess to a sinner."
The implication of this is that Emperor Qian Ling wants to exempt himself from being a suspect?
Liu Wei listened silently, but said: "But Chen Yijie is white..."
"Secretary of the Zhengemen, why do you think you are in vain? Liu Qing, you are confused!"
This means that while being exempted from the status of a suspect, he can be restored to his official position and continue to maintain his status as a courtier.
Although Liu Wei was successful in his heart, he did not forget about it, and said again: "The princess died in the harem, and I am a man. After all, it is inconvenient to come in and out. Besides, the masters in the palace are all noble. If you want to redress the injustice of the princess, I want to come and interrogate. It’s inevitable. It’s okay to interrogate some palace maids and eunuchs. If someone with an important status is involved, I’m afraid..."
"Since I asked you to solve the case, I must give you authority. What Liu Qing said is all unnecessary worry."
"Then..." Liu Wei looked hesitant, but after struggling for a while, he finally handed over his hand and bowed: "In this case, I would rather obey my order than to be respectful."
When Liu Wei came out of the imperial study room, it was already an hour later.
Qi Fu had been guarding outside the door. After watching Liu Wei come out, he glanced and easily found a token on Liu Wei's waist. His eyes were shocked and he was horrified.
Liu Wei greeted Qi Fu: "Eunuch Qi."
Qi Fu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Liu," with a completely different attentive gesture than before.
Liu Wei glanced at the token on his waist and said: "Eunuch Qi is joking. It is my honor to serve the emperor. In the next few days, Liu will come to the palace from time to time. I would like to ask my father-in-law to take care of me."
"You're welcome, Your Excellency." Qi Fu bowed, and when he lowered his eyes, he looked at the token on his waist again, his expression unclear.
