Xin Ran and the other three heard the shouting outside, so they all hurried out of the room where they lived, and saw a group of imperial guards running towards the opposite yard.

Xin Ran stopped one of the imperial guards and asked, "where did you kill people?"

The sergeant of the Imperial Guard bowed to Xin Ran and said, "tell your Lord that sun Jinnan, who lives in the front yard, was assassinated."

after hearing this, they were very surprised and didn't think much, so they immediately asked the sergeant to take them to the front yard.

Under the guidance of the sergeant, the three soon came to the front yard where sun Jinnan lived.

Entering the room, I saw sun Jinnan lying on the ground, it seems that there is no breath.

Eunuch Li Gonggong, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Palace, stood beside him and saw Xin Ran and other three people come in. He said in a hurry: "Mr. Xin, a senior official of the imperial court was stabbed in the imperial palace. What can you do? I'm afraid I can't save my life this time!"

Before Xin Ran had time to comfort Li Gonggong, he heard someone outside shouting: "the emperor has arrived. "

the crowd fell to their knees to welcome the emperor.

After a while, Emperor ningzong came to the house with a group of civil and military ministers.

After emperor ningzong asked the people to get up, he asked, "Mr. Li, when I first arrived at the palace, there was a madman. I don't care. But now the Minister of punishment was killed in the palace. Tell me what's the matter with you and how do you become the palace manager?"

Li Qinu knelt down and said, "I'm very sorry to you."

The emperor ningzong said angrily, "say it."

Li Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, I've been very careful since your majesty came to the West Lake Palace. In the evening, I patrol around with the palace staff. When I came to the courtyard, I saw that sun Jinnan's courtyard was open, so I immediately came to have a look. At the beginning, I yelled, but Sun didn't respond I thought that sun was not in the house, so I was ready to close the door for him. I didn't know that when I went into the house to pull the door ring, I saw sun lying on the ground, and the wound on his chest was still bleeding. I put my finger on sun's nose and tried it. There was no breath left. I was so frightened that I arranged for someone to report it to your majesty Wait. "

Sun Jinnan is Shi Miyuan's confidant, so Shi Miyuan is also very angry. After listening to Li Gonggong, he said, "Li Gonggong, you have been in charge of the West Lake Palace. Since your majesty came here, there have been accidents. Are you dissatisfied with your majesty and do these things intentionally?"

Seeing that Shi Miyuan said so, Duke Li said to Emperor ningzong in a hurry: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. This writing is not done by me. I am wronged."

"Even if you didn't do it, you can't escape the crime of dereliction of duty as the palace manager. Come and bind Mr. Li together, waiting for your Majesty's release." Shi Miyuan said.

Seeing this, Xin Ran stood up and said to Shi Miyuan, "prime minister, I think it's inappropriate for the prime minister to make public relations with Li Gong in such a hurry."

"Young Master Xin, what's wrong with me doing this?" Shi Miyuan asked Xin Ran.

Xin Ran said: "prime minister, first of all, your majesty is living in the palace. Duke Li is familiar with the affairs of the palace. It's not good for your majesty to rest here if you detain him now. Secondly, Lord Sun is a senior official of the current Dynasty. Now the assassination of the palace is a big case. We must investigate and find out the real murderer. These also need the help of Duke Li, so I think Mr. Li is not yet in custody. "

"Xin Aiqing is considerate. I heard that you contributed a lot to Chen Wenduan's case last time, so you should investigate this case." Emperor ningzong said to Xinran.

Seeing his Majesty's arrangement, Shi Miyuan quickly dissuaded him and said, "Your Majesty, you can't. although Mr. Xin has intelligence, he is not a person with official position. How can he do official affairs? What's more, it's more appropriate for Weichen to handle the case because it's a big one. "

Emperor ningzong hesitated when he saw that Shi Miyuan said so. At this moment, Zhao Yun, King Yi, who was standing beside him, said, "prime minister, if you want to accompany the emperor at any time, you will not have enough time to handle this case, so Xiao Wang thinks you are not suitable for handling this case."

After listening to the opinions of the people, Emperor ningzong thought for a while, looked at them again, and said, "what king Yi said is very reasonable. Prime minister, you have to be with me at any time, and you have to deal with many military and national affairs. You really can't get away from dealing with this case. In this case, it's better for Xin Aiqing to deal with this case. You must deal with this case well before I go back to the palace."

After emperor ningzong finished, Xinran said in a hurry: "it's my duty to share your worries. I just want to ask your permission to let Mr. Chen Wenduan handle this case with me. I don't know if your majesty will approve it."

Ningzong emperor did not hesitate, immediately approved Xinran's request, and then let the ministers stay, he went back to sleep hall to rest.

Seeing the emperor's departure, Shi Miyuan immediately said to Xin Ran in a strange way: "Mr. Xin, don't live up to the emperor's expectation of you. I'll see how you investigate the case."Xinran ignored Shi Miyuan, but squatted down with Chen Wenduan to carefully examine the scene and sun Jinnan's wound.

After reading it, Chen Wenduan said: "just now, when Mr. Li was describing the case, he said that when he came in, Mr. Sun's wound was still bleeding, which means that Mr. Sun should have just been killed, and that the murderer could not be patrolled after killing Mr. Sun, which shows two problems: first, the murderer can make Mr. Sun unprepared; second, the murderer can make Mr. Sun unprepared This person should be hiding nearby. Based on these two points, the most suspicious one is the person who lives with Mr. Sun. "

After that, Chen Wenduan asked Li Gonggong, "the rooms here are all arranged by you. Who lives in this courtyard?"

Mr. Li replied in a hurry: "Mr. Chen, after receiving the imperial edict from the emperor to come to the West Lake Palace, the old slave knew that the emperor had many civil and military officials, so he re registered the rooms in the palace, divided them into several categories according to the quality of the old and the new, and then arranged them according to the rank of the officials. Because of the better conditions, the courtyard was arranged with the Minister of punishment Besides sun Jinnan and sun, there are two other people: Xia Zhenxia of the Imperial Army and Zhang Haishan, Minister of the Ministry of industry. "

When Mr. Li finished, he saw the eyes of all the people gathered on them.
