February 24th, evening.

After Chen Xi conducted a brief promotion meeting, he asked Wang He and Su Jingyang to continue to build the previously unfinished fortifications. This was also a way for Chen Xi to train troops. Then he stayed alone in the central army tent, sorted out and approved the military newspapers sent by the six southwestern provinces and local documents from Huguang and Guangxi...

Almost busy until the third update, Yun Liu, dressed in men's clothing, entered the Central Army's tent and saluted: "Sir, the night is already deep, you should rest early!"

Chen Xi looked at Yun Liu and shook his head slightly: "I'm not sleepy. If you are tired, you can go to my tent with Xier to rest!"

Yun Liu said: "I won't go back, how can I get into your tent with my sister? Are you worried about Nanning Mansion?"

Chen Xi stood up, stretched his waist, walked around the Shuai Chou, and walked back and forth in the big tent for a few steps to move his muscles and said:

"It is impossible to say that I don't want to think about it at all, but this matter has not reached much urgency. The court sent four or five people to investigate the case at one time, and it was when the emperor was alive. Now it is the national mourning, and these people should not be transferred back. I think no matter what the result is, the court should use maintaining stability as the tone and not make a mistake out of nothing..."

Yun Liu recalled Chen Xi's words and nodded deeply and said, "As long as the adults command the soldiers for a day, those people will have concerns and dare not slander and accusation of the adults!"

"Haha, so what about the commander of the army? In the eyes of many people, I am just a rising star in the court. They will not consider my feelings when doing anything, and they do not think that I dare to rebel. Those high-ranking ministers, or royal relatives, never take my innocence and reputation seriously. After this incident, the court sent so many people out of the capital, but in fact they wanted to catch my braid..."

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "It just happened that the emperor passed away. The court urgently needed to maintain a harmonious and stable political situation. If someone wanted to target me, it would be contrary to the major policies of the court!"

Yun Liu said: "If someone wants to frame the adult, what will the adult do?"

Chen Xi looked at Yunliu with an scrutiny. He didn't understand why Yunliu asked such a question. In Shen Xi's opinion, this question was too supreme and sensitive. If he answered honestly, it would be that people would not offend me. If people violated me, they would offend me. Chen Xi would never sacrifice his life or be innocent for the court. If someone really framed him and wanted to kill him, he would definitely find ways to seek a way out, and then it would not be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

But even when facing Yun Liu, he would not say so.

Or, no matter who he faces, he will not express his true thoughts.

Chen Xidao: "I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic. No matter what the court means, I will only obey orders. Yunliu, you have asked too much, go back and have a good rest. I will hurry up and process the official documents accumulated over the past period. You don't have to come and disturb..."

"Yes, sir!"

After Yun Liu bowed and left the central army tent.

...

In Nanning Prefecture, two envoys from the imperial court have arrived at Xuanhua City, where the prefecture is located.

The people from the Three Laws and the Ministry of War all arrived in a dignified manner and appeared openly. If the officials sent by the Guangxi Censorate to investigate the case and the factory guards who secretly arrived in Nanning Prefecture, four groups of people have arrived in Xuanhua.

The two envoys from the imperial court were important members of the Three Laws and the Ministry of War.

As the local magistrate, Gao Ji personally went out of the city for five miles to greet him, but because he was involved in the case, the person who came to investigate the case did not accept the invitation from the government office and moved directly to the official office.

The Ministry of War was personally appointed by the Minister of Shangshu Liu Daxia. According to the practice of the third to fifth-level officials from Beijing, the fifth-rank doctor did not have to give Gao Ji face at all. In fact, Liu Daxia's only requirement for this trip was to strive for fairness and justice.

The officials who came to handle the case in the Three Laws basically had a civil servant group background. Before leaving, they were repeatedly explained by Min Kyu, Dai Shan and others. Although they also demanded fairness and strictness on the surface, they basically came with prejudice. When investigating the case, they were born with prejudice and may not guarantee fairness.

As for Jiang Liwei, who arrived in Nanning Prefecture secretly, he was determined to bring down Chen Xi. Regardless of whether Chen Xi committed a crime, Jiang Liwei would try every means to find "evidence" to prove that Chen Xi is guilty.

The people from the Guangxi Censorate arrived first.

They have been investigating locally for more than a month, but still no results have been found, because the incident between Chen Xi and Gao Ning happened in a closed time and environment, and no one has witnessed physical evidence. Now Gao Ning insists that Chen Xi is guilty, and the maid who accompanied the Gao family to the government office and committed suicide by jumping into the well. The Gao family's housekeeper later "disappeared", so that there is no witness in this case, and the physical evidence is even more nonsense.

However, many people did see Gao Ning's face being swollen and returned to the county government office. However, Chen Xi issued a document to clarify the matter, indicating that Gao Ning's wife roared at the court in Shen Xi's central army tent and asked the woman who invited the cooking in the army to slapped her face with a bamboo board, and did not involve men and women.

The father said that the mother had reason and the mother said that the mother had reason. No one knew what the truth was. The case seemed to be in a deadlock.

Because of the direct conflict of interest with Chen Xi, Chen Xi led his troops to leave Nanning Prefecture after achieving a refreshing victory against the Nanman. This behavior was regarded as fleeing for fear of crime.

Therefore, when the people from the Three Laws and the Ministry of War came, the local officials and gentry basically wore the same pair of pants as Gao Ji and kept talking to Gao Ning.

The reason is that the local officials and gentry believed that Gao Ning was helping them stand up and went to the government office, and then was defiled by Chenxi, and felt that he also had some responsibility.

Even Gao's family folk style was put on the table to talk about things.

People think that a scholarly family like the Gao family must be more caring about their feathers than a poor family like Chen Xi. Many people think that Chen Xi is a rising star of military merits and is arrogant and domineering, and take the example of his seizure of local grain ware, proving that Chen Xi is corrupt.

Because there is no exact evidence of Chen Xi's crime and no witnesses, no valuable clues can be obtained from Gao Ning, so the case has become a unsolved case.

Even the people from the Three Laws, who are biased against Chen Xi, cannot decide the case without evidence, because there is no way to call Chen Xi to confront the parties in the next case, nor can they submit Chen Xi for trial, and obtain a confession under severe punishment. They even just ordered to come to investigate the case, without the right to judge, and the final decision must be handed over to the court.

In Nanning Prefecture City, Jiang Liwei lives in a house near the south gate in the city. This is a secret contact location for Jinyiwei in Nanning Prefecture.

Jiang Liwei had been staying in Xuanhua City for seven or eight days, specifically searching for evidence of Chen Xi's crime. He came with the intention of Chen Xi's crime, but after he arrived at the place, he found that things might not be as simple as Gao Ji's memorial said. The investigation of the local Jinyiwei also made the truth clearer.

"...Jiang Zhenfu, when Lord Shen was in the local area, he often lived in the military camp tents and rarely returned to the government office... On the day of the incident, Lord Shen basically inspected the city. The soldiers and subordinates in the city all witnessed it with their own eyes, which was inconsistent with what the Gaogongfu said that Lord Shen openly occupied his daughter-in-law in the government office... In addition, there was no abnormality before Gao Ning entered the military camp, but he cried and cried after coming out. He only had an incense stick. When he came out, his clothes were intact, but there were traces of being beaten on his face..."

The Jinyiwei is not from the local government office, and they investigate the case more accurately and uniquely... Since the Nanying Army entered Nanning Prefecture City, these people have always stared at the commanders of the three armies to beat Chen Xi. They are actually the key witnesses to prove whether Chen Xi committed the crime that day.

The more Jiang Li listened, the more gloomy his face became.

He thought to himself: "If these situations are reported truthfully, wouldn't it prove that Chen Xi's child is innocent? Is it a frame-up by Gao Ji?"

Finally, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi summarized: "...Mr. Jiang, in short, Lord Shen will never do anything that would damage local stability in this case. It is expected that the Gaogong was probably doing a false accusation because he failed to come to the door to discuss things in person. The great victory of Nanning Prefecture occurred one day later. Lord Shen left Nanning Prefecture afterwards, to avoid suspicion. This move was a noble and noble character of Lord Shen..."

When Jiang Liwei heard this, she couldn't listen anymore. She raised her hand and said, "What you said is just your speculation and there is no real evidence. You must admit this, right?"

"this……"

The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Liwei asked again: "Did you tell others about these things?"

The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment and replied respectfully: "Master Jiang clearly understands that Bei Zhi has reported the information he has learned before, but for some reason there is no reply. Apart from this, he will never dare to disclose matters related to the case. However, before, Zhang Liang, the head of the Ministry of Justice, had sent someone to inquire about the situation in the city, and the clues obtained are basically the same as those provided by Bei Zhi..."

"Zhang Liang?"

Jiang Liwei frowned. He was not familiar with Zhang Liang and didn't know how much useful evidence he had obtained. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, if someone asks, you will say that you don't know and you must not leak any clues in this case. This official will personally verify it. As for whether Lord Shen committed the case, don't make a conclusion early. If you have any unknown investigation in this case, it will violate the facts and not have enough brains to cut off!"

Jiang Liwei began to use scare people to deal with local people. The hereditary Jinyiwei flag was indeed scared and he quickly saluted:
Chapter completed!
