The officer led the two in.
Then they found Liu Dan, the minister of households.
Liu Dan glanced at Li Cheng, then took the hand letter and looked left and right.
The two mustaches blow and blow.
It was as if he had to come up with some clue on the hand letter before giving up.
After some "hard work", I finally figured out a problem.
He pointed to a seal on it: "Master Li, this seal... It seems to be the seal of Master Gong who just committed a capital crime, right?"
There are two chapters in total.
The bachelor of Hanlin Academy built one.
Christine also built one.
Li Cheng nodded: "It's his."
"This person is dead, the hand decree... I'm afraid..."
"Why, when a person dies, the seal doesn't count? Besides, this seal was affixed before the person's accident."
"understand."
Li Cheng straightened his chest, raised his chin, and said, "Master Liu, don't waste your time. Take me to the archives quickly. I'll go back and sort out the things I want to check after I've checked."
Liu Dan closed the hand letter, wrinkled his face, and asked: "With the hand letter, there is no problem in checking it, but I don't know what you want to check? You tell me, I will find the information and send it to the city division. Isn't it better?"
"Don't worry about this. Besides, the departments can't interfere with each other, so I can't tell you clearly what I want to investigate."
"That's right, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Cheng raised his hand and interrupted: "Why are you so troublesome? I'll go to the archives and check things out, it won't take long! Master Liu, you've been dawdling with me for a long time, shouldn't it be? Are you procrastinating?"
No matter how good-tempered he is, he can't stand the grind.
When Liu Dan heard it, he quickly explained: "Misunderstanding! As the official of the Ministry of Housing, I naturally have to investigate it strictly."
"I have a hand letter, and I have told you the reason. Can you take me there now?"
"Of course." Liu Dan returned the decree, and turned to instruct the junior officer, "Take Master Li to the archives."
The little official responded: "Yes."
Li Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu, who had been standing behind him and dressed as guards, also breathed a sigh of relief.
The three followed Xiaoguan all the way to the outside of the archives.
The place where the household records are stored is a small two-story building, and there are several guards with knives guarding outside.
And there are guards guarding the extension road leading to this small building.
very strict.
Once someone breaks in, they will be aware of it.
Xiaoguan said, "Lord Li, if you need anything, just tell me, and the lower official will be waiting outside."
Li Cheng waved his hand: "When this official is checking things inside, you'd better not come in and disturb."
"Yes."
Immediately, Li Cheng brought Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu to prepare to go in.
But the door hasn't touched-
Suddenly came from behind: "Today's Ministry of Housing is really lively!"
Nayan's voice came from far and near.
Looking back, he saw that he was taking his people from a distance and walking towards this side along the long corridor.
The minister of households, Liu Dan, followed closely behind.
Sure enough, the reason why Liu Dan had been grinding for so long just now was really to delay time.
But he didn't expect that the person he secretly reported was actually the second prince.
This is great!
Li Cheng's heart tightened, and he glanced at Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu worriedly.
Then he motioned for the two of them to hide.
Don't get caught!
Jing Rong was very calm.
It seems to be ready.
He unhurriedly took out a small piece of black charcoal from his sleeve, rubbed it on his fingers, and then wiped it on his face.
Then he grabbed Ji Yunshu's shoulder sideways, and wiped two mustaches on her mouth.
Ji Yunshu was stunned.
"what is this?"
"Black charcoal."
"You carry this with you?"
"Just in case." Jing Rong put the black charcoal into his sleeve calmly.
Now, both of them have black lips and mustaches.
Ji Yunshu touched it and said softly, "Give me the black charcoal."
"Um?"
"Bring it."
Jing Rong took it out and gave it to her.
She rubbed it on her index finger, and then rubbed it on her eye bags.
Jing Rong frowned and asked, "What is this?"
She replied, "Dark circles!"
puff-
Although Jing Rong didn't understand what dark circles were, he also painted a scoop on the gourd and wiped some of the bags under his eyes.
Another mole on my face!
Very funny.
Ji Yunshu felt "not happy", and drew his two thin eyebrows a little thicker.
The two look completely different!
It won't be recognized by Na Yan now, will it
Na Yan walked over, but he didn't notice them, but with a smile on his face, he said to Li Cheng, "I didn't know Cheng Shizi was there, but they all bumped into each other."
Li Cheng said, "Why did the second prince come here?" "I happened to pass by the Ministry of Housing, and came in to have a look. I just heard Mr. Liu say what information you are looking for. As far as this prince knows, the case of Du Mubai has already been closed. Now, all matters have also been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. Why is there anything to be investigated by the prince? It is still something that cannot be told, which makes this king
A little curious. "
Li Cheng calmly said, "Since it's the matter of our city department, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Third Prince, right?"
"Of course it doesn't matter."
"Since it doesn't matter, what I want to check has nothing to do with you."
Na Yan smiled: "Yes, it has nothing to do with me, but... it has something to do with the court, and things that involve the court naturally have something to do with this king."
"What do you mean?"
"What this king means... What exactly are you looking for when you come to the Ministry of Households? If you don't make it clear, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the archives today."
Bring out the shelf of the lord!
Li Chengcheng came here under the guise of the City Department. What reason is there for him
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu can't be confessed!
He swallowed his saliva and said, "It seems that the third prince did not pass by by coincidence at all, but came here specially."
Nayan didn't hide it: "That's right."
"Then if I can't say why, shouldn't I be charged with another crime?"
Na Yan smiled and said, "Then see if you can say why."
The two faced off.
Li Cheng usually has a lot of ghost ideas. With the current situation, he made some calculations in his heart and naturally had an idea.
Said: "Okay, then I will tell the reason to the third prince."
"All ears!"
Li Cheng said with a sincere face: "To be honest with the third prince, I'm here to check on a woman."
What
Na Yan thought he had heard it wrong, and asked, "Woman? What kind of woman? Is it related to the city department?" "A woman who came to me all day to make a fuss." Li Cheng's mouth secretly evoked a deep smile, and said, "The entire Gaoding City , who doesn't know that I, Li Cheng, is a stray? In the early years, I caused a lot of romantic debts. This person can't always be smooth, and there will always be times when the horse stumbles. No, I met him recently. "
