"Then is this the only way we can settle this matter?" Yan Ling finally said with some reluctance.
"It's true that we shouldn't let it go like this, but I believe that Bai Yushi has many ways to prevent us from continuing the investigation." Liang He seemed a little helpless because he had been exposed to political affairs, so he knew much better than Yan Ling. The twists and turns.
"But there are still so many doubts about this matter. We can report it to the emperor. As long as the emperor issues an imperial decree, there is nothing he can do about it." Yan Ling expressed his thoughts.
As soon as Liang He heard this, he shook his head helplessly, looked at Yan Ling and said, "What you can think of, that old fox from the Bai family must also want to know. Maybe my father already knows the news."
Yan Ling's idea was indeed correct, but Liang He's inference was naturally more accurate. The reason why the emperor ordered them to go to great lengths to investigate the murder of Bai Yiyi was not necessarily because they attached great importance to the deceased person.
The reason why the emperor did this was probably just to stabilize Bai Yushi so that he could find no reason to make a fuss about this matter.
After all, stability above the court is still very important. Yushi Bai implicated Prime Minister Yan in this matter. The emperor summoned them all just to give them a warning. If there is no conclusive evidence, the crime will not be really punished.
In the end, the matter was handed over to Prince Liang He and Yan Ling, who was related to the matter, investigated together. Naturally, no one else said anything, so the matter was considered resolved.
It would be good if the real culprit could be traced. If you can't trace them, deal with the two juniors a little bit. Then find a scapegoat, and the matter can be considered settled. Although this kind of thing sounds ridiculous, it is also the naked truth.
In the final analysis, the involvement of this matter is not big. It would be best if we could make it a trivial matter. Now that the murderer Hongye is dead and has left a confession, no matter from any angle, this matter should be over.
"I believe that not only Bai Yushi, but also my father and your father, they all hope that this matter will end here. If this matter can be solved by just catching a little girl, then why would they be happy? Why not?" Liang He was quite helpless when he said this.
If it were before, Liang He would naturally not think there was anything wrong with this way of handling things. After all, taking the overall situation into consideration, taking all aspects into account, and maintaining balance are what a ruler should do.
But now that Yan Ling is involved in this matter, it should be discussed separately, not to mention that Yan Ling is obviously not used to this kind of approach.
"Although Bai Yiyi targeted me everywhere, she was killed for no reason after all. The two of us are investigating this matter, but we can't tell her the truth." Yan Ling sighed helplessly.
In fact, this was not soft-hearted, but he suddenly felt a little emotional. Although Yan Ling had experienced a lot in his last life, he had also seen a lot of dark things.
But that was only a part after all. Compared to the entire court, it was simply the tip of the iceberg. Now seeing the naked truth in front of him, how could Yan Ling accept it so easily
However, this is what Liang He is afraid of now. He knows very well what kind of person Yan Ling is. Although he seems very rational on the surface and seems to be very transparent about everything, there are some things he insists on and his principles are actually very strong.
From this morning until after this incident, Liang He had been worried that Yan Ling would not be able to accept it if he knew about it. Now it seems that my worries have come true
Looking at Liang He's slightly worried eyes, Yan Ling smiled and said softly: "Don't worry! I'm not a hard-thinking person. I was tired yesterday. If it can end like this, we will be very relaxed."
Although I still feel a little bit unable to let go, Yan Ling is not a person who can get into trouble. Yan Ling knows very well that even if you are unwilling to obey this kind of behavior, as long as you don't have the ability to change everything, nothing will happen. It's empty talk.
If you do not have a pivotal position and have no ability to change the outcome, then blindly entangled in one thing will only tie yourself into the web you have woven and cannot move.
"It'll be great if you can figure it out. In fact, I have been worried about you just now." Seeing Yan Ling's behavior, Liang He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he still underestimated her.
"What's so surprising about this? Isn't the reason why we are investigating this matter just to clear my suspicion?" Yan Ling said with a smile.
This is indeed true. Although the emperor had already stated in the main hall that he believed Yan Ling was not the murderer, without real evidence, it would be difficult for them to convince the public.
Even if they didn't dare to say anything publicly because of the emperor's golden words, they still felt that Yan Ling was closely related to this matter secretly.
If I have to give a reason, it is that there are not so many coincidences in the world, especially in a place like the capital, where many coincidences are caused by someone behind the scenes.
Now that we are investigating this matter, we can find the murderer. No matter whether it is the truth or not, there is always an explanation. Naturally, it is not easy for people to say anything more behind their backs. It can be regarded as blocking everyone's mouths.
When Liang He heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and said in a joking tone: "This is just a reason."
Yan Ling naturally saw that there was obviously something in Liang He's words, but he was even more curious about the part he didn't finish, so he couldn't help but ask: "Oh? What is the other reason?"
Liang He seemed to be waiting for this sentence. When he heard Yan Ling ask this question, he immediately came forward and said with a wicked smile: "I was honest with Ling'er yesterday, hasn't it improved the relationship between the two of us? Feelings?"
Yan Ling didn't understand it at first, but when he saw the expression on Liang He's face clearly, and the four words "Be honest" that he emphasized clearly, he somehow recalled the face he saw yesterday. The child turned red.
"You're a disciple! You're not ashamed in broad daylight." Yan Ling seemed a little annoyed, but even more embarrassed.
Liang He smiled with a proud look on his face, and even said: "I will be sad when Ling'er says this. Yesterday, your master and I were in the house, and you broke in by yourself. You can't see me after seeing all this." Say, are you still not going to take responsibility for saying this now?"
Yan Ling was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, but didn't know what to say to refute. He just turned his face red with anger, raised his head and kicked Liang He hard, but with little effect.
