Chapter 678 How Can We Allow Others to Snore on the Side of the Bed?
Looking at the casually smiling face of the man opposite Qing Jun, Rong Su narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone: "Do you know, if this case is really as complicated as you said, what will be the outcome?"
How could Liu Wei not know, but his expression didn't seem to care: "In my opinion, there is only one outcome, but obviously, the Seventh Prince is already planning another possibility, so tell me your decision, you are Do you plan to crack the case seriously and bring justice to the deceased, or do you plan to just throw me out and use me as a scapegoat to put an end to this matter?"
In the eyes of the royal family, the best way to deal with a case involving the royal family's face, or even the emperor's face, is to find someone at random to take the position of the murderer.
It doesn't matter whether he is wronged or not, as long as this person can cover up the shame of the royal family and completely bury the dirty truth again, it doesn't matter who lives or dies.
Liu Wei knew that this case would eventually fall into Rong Su's hands.
Yes, Liu Wei was so sure that he was Rong Su and not someone else.
At first, Liu Wei suspected that it might be the prince, but after hearing Rong Leng talk about the court affairs in the past few days, Liu Wei knew that Rong Su had not run away.
It had not been long since Rong Su returned to the capital, but in just a few days, rumors spread that the seventh prince and His Highness the Crown Prince were equals.
Regardless of whether someone spread such remarks maliciously, the emperor would obviously not be happy hearing it.
And just yesterday, Liu Wei heard that the emperor had handed over the position of invigilator for this year's imperial examination to the prince.
The role of invigilator is not that important. Just find a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy to take care of it, but there are many secrets behind the invigilator.
Throughout the ages, there has been a saying about imperial examinations. Students who passed the examination under which adult will be admitted to that adult.
The emperor is clearly giving the prince an opportunity.
Let the prince take advantage of this year's scientific examination to recruit more talents and finally keep them for his own use.
The so-called side of the bed does not allow others to snore. The emperor's move entrusted the greatest trust to the prince, and he did not even worry about the prince forming an alliance with the future pillars of the country in advance.
When he learned the news yesterday, Liu Wei knew that within two days, Rong Su would be rejected.
And sure enough, in just one night, the distance between them became clear.
Liu Wei believed that the emperor handed over Princess Yuping's case to Rong Su for no purpose of wanting to know the truth.
After all, she is just a princess. There are so many princesses in the harem that he, the father, cannot even count them.
What makes Princess Yuping a little bit special is probably her title of Jade Girl in front of the Buddha, but she is only a little bit special, but it is not enough to shake any fundamentals.
The emperor gave Princess Yuping's case to Rong Su. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but in disguise, he was clearing the way for the prince.
After all, after taking over the post of invigilator of the imperial examination, if the prince really wanted to take action, without the stumbling block of Rong Su, he would be able to win over people more easily.
Liu Wei didn't know what Rong Su was thinking. In fact, there were only two paths before Rong Su.
First, hand yourself over as a murderer, quickly understand the case, and then escape and go back to trouble the prince.
Second, we should investigate the case well, but obviously we will miss the progress of stopping the prince. I am afraid that in a few days, the Rong Sui case has not been solved, but the prince's side is already full of people.
These two paths are clear and distinct, but no one knows which path is correct.
Liu Wei looked at Rong Su patiently, and Liu Wei wanted to know what Rong Su would choose.
Rong Su's expression was not very good. Obviously, it was impossible for Rong Su not to think of things that Liu Wei could think of.
Lin Sheng and Li Jun also frowned and thought. Finally, it was Li Jun who spoke first and whispered to Rong Su: "Your Highness, isn't this case solved?"
Li Jun said, and deliberately glanced at Liu Wei, with a cold look in his eyes: "Isn't the murderer already here now?"
Is this what it means to choose the first path?
Want to send yourself out as a scapegoat to take the blame?
Liu Wei smiled and didn't care. He just continued to look at Rong Su: "Seventh Prince, just say a word. Do you really think so?"
Rong Su pondered and looked at Liu Wei uncertainly.
It had to be said that Rong Su knew Liu Wei well. When he saw Liu Wei's current demeanor, he couldn't help but feel wary.
Finally, after deliberation for a long time, Rong Su said, "Whether he is the murderer or not will only be determined later. For now, Mr. Liu is still innocent."
Liu Wei frowned and stared at Rong Su with a half-smile.
Rong Su felt a little uncomfortable because of Liu Wei's gaze. He turned slightly to the side and moved his gaze elsewhere.
Li Jun didn't understand what the prince meant. He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please think clearly. Wasn't this person brought back by Princess Yuehai and Eunuch Su personally? It can be said that everyone gets the stolen goods. The prince... people All the stolen goods are gained.”
Li Jun specifically emphasized that once they give up handing over this scapegoat now, they will miss this opportunity in vain. If they really want to solve this case, how long will it take to solve it?
Concubine Min, Concubine Chang, which one of these individuals can they touch at will?
It would be a series of troubles to involve any one of them at will, let alone two.
Li Jun was very anxious, but Rong Su became calmer.
Rong Su looked at Liu Wei and said seriously, "Give me an autopsy report."
Rong Su had heard the word "autopsy report" when he was in Guyong Mansion. At that time, he had also seen Li Lin's autopsy report. The writing was very special and it was still fresh in his memory.
Liu Wei was sure that Rong Su really didn't mean to betray him, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that the Seventh Prince will choose. The autopsy report is available, wait a moment."
Liu Wei said, stood up and opened the bookcase next to her.
As soon as Liu Wei turned around, Li Jun wanted to persuade Rong Su, but Rong Su just waved his hand and didn't intend to listen.
Li Jun gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Wei's back again, with anger in his eyes.
Liu Wei took out the autopsy report, filled in a few more omissions, and finally added the final test results. She browsed through it and handed it to Rong Su after seeing that there were no problems.
Rong Su took it and opened it to check.
Then, Rong Su stopped moving.
Liu Wei folded her hands and asked, "But if you don't understand something, I can explain it."
Rong Su glanced at Liu Wei, returned the autopsy report to Liu Wei, and said, "Let's explain it from the first word."
He didn't understand a word.
Liu Wei: "..."
Prince Rong Qi, who has always been well-read, well-informed and talented, did not want to admit that the measured liver temperature, eyeball circumference, and frontal lobe area that filled the page were, in his opinion, the same as a ghost drawing amulet.
Liu Wei spent half an hour explaining every detail in the report one by one. In the end, Liu Wei didn't care whether Rong Su understood it or not, whether Lin Shengji didn't understand it at all, let alone Li Jun who always seemed to want to He looked like he was being eaten alive, and he jumped up and drove the three of them out.
After the three of them had left, Xiao Li walked in leisurely holding a roasted sweet potato.
Liu Wei glanced at his son and asked, "Who gave it to you?"
Xiao Li took a bite of the hot sweet potato meat and said vaguely: "Rong Mu..."
