Chapter 280
"Sneak attack?"
"You don't follow martial ethics!"
Even Shangguan Yan'er smiled when she saw that someone could deal with this guy.
When they arrived at the imperial study, they found it even more lively than after the morning court session.
Lin Ruopu, who had learned the news in advance, stood there with a blank look in his eyes.
But when he saw Qinglong and Xu Shan enter the hall, there was a cold light in his eyes.
Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the two factories who was standing with him, kept his sharp eyes fixed on Xu Shan.
If looks could kill, Xu Shan would have died a thousand times.
The most exaggerated one was the Beibohou who was kneeling on the ground before.
After seeing Xu Shan appear, he rushed forward with a fierce look and said, "Xu Shan..."
"I'm asking you, where were you at 11:30 PM?"
'Snapped. '
As soon as Bei Bohou stretched out his hand, Xu Shan opened it without any hesitation.
"Three quarters past midnight, I don't need to report my whereabouts to you."
"You don't have the qualifications."
"How dare you!" As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, Lin Ruopu, who was already angry and embarrassed because of the plot against him tonight, spoke immediately.
"You're the only one with a loud voice, right?"
"The Emperor's personal soldiers, while on duty, are not allowed to inquire about their whereabouts by any senior official."
"This is a clear law, and even more so a family rule!"
"I'm being presumptuous? It's because none of you have grasped your place properly, right?"
"His Majesty is still here, how can it be your turn to question him?"
"To put it mildly, you are 'disrupting rituals and music,' and to put it more seriously, you are 'without a ruler and without a father.'"
"And this is still the head of the civil service."
"Have all the sage books been read into a dog's stomach?"
What the hell!
After hearing Xu Shan's well-reasoned and crazy output, the censors from the Censorate who came with them were all shocked.
This guy is wasting his talent in the Inspection Department!
If he comes to the Censorate, he will definitely have a seat.
Shouting and cursing, quoting scriptures...
He made Prime Minister Lin blush.
Zhu Youwei, with her hands on the imperial desk, raised the corners of her mouth slightly and then quickly suppressed them.
With Xu Qing's ability to debate with scholars, he would have no pressure in the future if he went to court.
Qinglong and other officials standing in front of him had made up their minds.
From now on, if I encounter swearing or fighting, I will definitely pull this guy aside.
Never lost a verbal battle, never lost a fight!
He is like a mad dog, biting whoever he catches.
"you……"
'cough! '
"Xu Qing, I want to ask you, where are you at 11:30 PM?"
Zhu Youwei coughed dryly and firmly controlled the right to speak.
"In reply to your Majesty, at this time, I am leading my subordinates to hunt down the remnants of the Witchcraft Cult."
"Are there any witnesses?"
"Except for my subordinates..."
Having said that, Xu Shan glanced at the several censors, associate magistrates and chief constables present.
"Your Majesty, during this time, Lord Xu was indeed in the heart of the White Sparrow Temple."
"We can all testify."
Ok?
Shangguan Yan'er was surprised when she heard this.
Was his 'confession' outside the palace just to cheer himself up?
In fact, this is not the case. In this era, coroners determine the time of death of the deceased based on the "physical manifestations", mainly livor mortis, etc.
Xu Shan, who is good at poisoning, can delay the formation of corpse spots.
That’s where the time difference comes from!
"Marquis Beibo, you've heard it too. This case has nothing to do with Xu Qing."
"Also, based on the information we've received, your son died of a mother-son relationship."
"Xu Qing is very experienced in dealing with witchcraft cults. I can ask him to help you track down the murderer."
As soon as Zhu Youwei finished speaking, Beibo Hou suppressed his anger and grief, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
"I have already invited the Two Xuanming Elders to come to the capital to help me recover the truth behind my son's death."
"Your Majesty, please don't worry about it."
After saying this, Beibo Hou, who had another thought, quickly added, "Your Majesty, although the leader of the Jinqian Gang, Shangguan Jinhong, violated Ming law, he is now dead."
"However, the Inspection Bureau still used this unresolved case as an excuse to forcibly seize many properties that originally belonged to his only daughter, Shangguan Xiaoxian."
"This incident has caused an extremely negative impact in Liuhe. Furthermore, as far as I know, Song Qingshu, the son of Wudang Mountain's head, Song Yuanqiao, is in love with Shangguan Xiaoxian."
"After learning of this, we have announced it to the martial arts world. This has drawn condemnation from many sects!"
"If not handled properly, it may affect the smooth opening of this 'Book Mountain and Martial Ocean' event."
