Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 478
Although Liu Jing was too lazy to pay attention to Liben, but this is his elder brother's mourning hall, and etiquette cannot be dismissed.

So I could only endure my nausea, watching Shen Liben twist up a stick of incense, light it and stick it in the incense burner.Then pretendingly, he said to the elder brother's tablet:

"Liu Canzheng, although you and I are just acquaintances, I know that you are high-spirited and have a high character. Just rest assured, if you have any grievances, I will definitely help you find out."

After a pause, Shen Liben lowered his voice and said: "If your death is only due to an accident, I will definitely help you get over it, and the world will not let the world say that Liu Bowen's eldest son died of drinking and falling into a well."

"My elder brother doesn't drink at all!" Liu Jing finally couldn't help but angrily said, "You don't want to ruin his reputation!"

"Liu Langzhong, don't worry." Shen Liben didn't feel annoyed, and said with full demeanor of an imperial envoy: "I have already said it, and I will definitely help Brother Ling get over."

"I don't need you to help me, he didn't drink too much in the first place, and it's impossible for him to fall into the well by himself!" Liu Jing blushed aggrievedly.

"Liu Langzhong, don't be impatient." Xiong Qitai also helped Shen Liben to comfort him: "The imperial envoy will definitely investigate clearly, and will never tarnish Liu Canzheng's posthumous name."

"Don't cry like a cat and pretend to be merciful here, it's you bastards who spread rumors all day long to smear my elder brother!" Liu Jing said with a blue vein on his forehead, "Get out! Get out!"

"Under Liu Langzhong's grief, he became a little emotional, so let's not bother." Shen Liben still maintained his demeanor, but he didn't really care about these second generations with little ability and temper.

All the officials left with a smile and left the official residence.

The door slammed shut behind him, and the officials shook their heads and sighed. "What quality?"

"Forget it, don't be as knowledgeable as him." Shen Liben waved his hand and said lightly: "He doesn't talk about decency, we still have to talk about decency."

"Yes, what is your lord's status? There's no need to argue with a dude." Xiong Qitai nodded like pecking rice, bowed his waist and stretched out his hands with a smile: "Please move to the main hall to serve tea."

"Not in a hurry." Shen Liben shook his head, pointed to the sealed official house next door and asked, "Is this the Cao Shen politician?"

"Yes. After Liu Canzheng fell into the well, this place became a haunted house, and Cao Canzheng's family moved out that night." Zeng Tai replied: "Then, according to the inspector, this place was temporarily sealed."

"Well, the site should be protected." Shen Liben nodded.

"Yes." Zeng Tai smiled sarcastically.

"Go in and have a look." Shen Liben pointed to the sealed door.

"Yes." Zeng Tai hurriedly ordered someone to tear off the seal and open the door.

All the officials surrounded Shen Liben and went into the official residence. The official residence was in a mess, with worthless things thrown everywhere, apparently left behind by Cao Shenzheng when he moved.

After searching for someone and moving, all useful clues were wiped out.It can only be said to protect the scene and protect a loneliness.

Shen Liben didn't criticize Zeng Tai, because he didn't care at all.

He asked Zeng Tai to lead him around the scene, looked at the well that killed Liu Lian, and left the scene without saying a word.

Back in the back hall of Zhengya, under Xiong Qitai's arrangement, Shen Liben washed his face, changed his clothes, and took a short rest.

After he washed off his bad luck and put on his crimson robe again, Xiong Qitai came in to see him.

But seeing that Shen Liben's face was a bit unkind, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked in a low voice: "My lord, what's wrong?"

"I'll ask you again, do you have something to hide from me?" Shen Liben stared at Xiong Qitai's honest-looking face.

"No. Really not." Xiong Qitai still denied it.

"Then let me ask you, the location of that well is so remote, how could a fellow lure Liu Lian to that place?" Shen Liben suddenly raised his voice, and asked, "What are you hiding?!"

"Yeah, how did he do it?" Xiong Qitai looked confused, and then called out to Tianqu, "I don't know about it, but I only know that I have never hidden it from my lord!"

"Your mouth is really tough enough," Shen Liben snorted, and said with a straight face: "Well, if something happens, don't blame me for not protecting you!"

"The humble official understands, but the humble official's heart to adults is as bright as the bright moon to learn from!" No matter how soft and hard Shen Liben was, Xiong Qitai was bitten to death, and he did not hide it.

"Let them all come in." Shen Liben had no choice but to reveal this section first.

~~
In a short time, deputy envoy Zeng Taifeng and other officials who handled the case came to the hall to listen to the order.

"Let's all sit down." Shen Liben smiled warmly, completely unable to see that he had just lost his temper with Xiong Qitai, and said to everyone with a smile: "This is for everyone to discuss the case of Liu Shenzheng, how to proceed."

After a pause, he looked at Xiong Qitai again, and said with a smile: "Just now I had a brief discussion with Xiong Fangbo, and I think we should put the overall situation first, and we must not discredit Liu Shenzheng, Jiangxi official circles, and of course we must not discredit the imperial court." Yes. What do you guys think?"

"Extremely, extremely, the high opinion of the ministries and the feudal lords." All the officials nodded hurriedly.

Zeng Tai wanted to follow the trend habitually, but His Royal Highness King Chu's exhortation echoed in his mind - "Anything they advocate, you oppose; whatever they oppose, you support!" '

It's really easy to say, but do you know how difficult it is to do?Singing against the boss in public, the psychological pressure is too great...

"Since everyone has no objection, then our tone has been set..." Before Shen Liben finished speaking, he heard Zeng Tai weakly say:

"I object."

"What did Zeng Lianfang say? I didn't hear clearly." Shen Liben looked at Zeng Tai, who had always been very well-behaved, in disbelief.

"Go back to the hall, the officials said I objected." There was no turning back when he opened his bow, so Zeng Tai could only grit his teeth and fight it out.

"What do you object to? What do you have to object to?" Shen Liben's face sank, and before he could speak, Xiong Qitai asked first, "What is your intention? Do you still regard yourself as a member of the Jiangxi officialdom?!"

"The lower officials object to setting the tone before investigating the case." A teacher like Zeng Tai is not good at work, but he is good at quarreling. "As the procurator, I am in charge of the punishment of a province. It is only natural to ask to find out the truth! On the contrary, what is the intention of Xiong Fantai to go online like this?!"

"At the beginning, it was you who were drunk and drowned according to Justice's order, why didn't you object at that time?" Xiong Qitai turned on the roaring mode.

Zeng Taixin said that at that time, I was still fooling around, didn't I?Who would have thought that he would become His Highness Chu's cat teaser?However, he had already thought about his words, so he said solemnly:
"At that time, the imperial envoy hadn't come yet, and the case was filed in the yamen. I was worried that if he objected at that time, someone would take the risk and continue to commit crimes in order to destroy the evidence, and the matter would become more and more troublesome!"

As Zeng Tai said, he bowed his hands to Shen Liben and said: "But now that the imperial envoy has arrived, the situation is different. With his old man in charge, who dares to be a demon again?!"

Shen Liben didn't know whether to laugh or cry immediately, all the rationale in the world was taken over by this Zeng.What else can he say?He had no choice but to pinch his nose and nodded, "Zeng Lianfang has a heart."
