False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

What is most important in this era?

Talent!

Lin Chen naturally intends to support Di Pangpang.

"oh?"

Li Zhao was aroused by Lin Chen's remarks.

"Since you have such a talented person, I appoint you Lin Chen as the imperial envoy to investigate the murder case of the mission. You are given ten days to thoroughly investigate the case!"

ah?

Lin Chen originally planned to let Di Pangpang show up to Li Zhao.

But he didn't expect that Li Zhao would directly throw the problem at him.

Good guy.

Lin Chen once again experienced the feeling of being dumped by the boss in a modern company.

Looking at Li Zhao's expression that could not refuse, Lin Chen swallowed back his polite words of refusal.

Whatever.

In Dali Temple, as the temple minister, Di Pangpang is still working hard to handle today's government affairs.

Unexpectedly, he was called by his colleagues and said that a big shot wanted to see him.

"Huaiying, long time no see."

Di Renjie looked at the military attaché Zi Shou, who looked like a ghost and had an easy-going tone, and felt a sudden change in his heart.

Apparently he still remembered Lin Chen, an important minister in the court who was very kind to him.

Especially the affectionate address of calling him by his first name made Di Renjie not sure what to say.

"I've met General Lin."

Di Renjie suppressed the curse in his heart and bowed in salute.

Lin Chen looked at Di Renjie, whose figure was a little rounder than before, and joked: "Huaiying, I haven't seen you in a few months, you are looking very handsome."

When Di Renjie heard this, he rubbed his belly in embarrassment and said helplessly: "I don't know why, even if I drink water, I gain weight."

Lin Chen knew the reason.

As a civil servant of Dali Temple, my work and rest are chaotic and I am prone to endocrine disorders.

A complication of endocrine disorders is gaining weight.

This condition is also common in modern times.

For example, some middle-level managers who run business in some companies, or truck drivers who work day and night.

But Lin Chen felt that.

Di Renjie's gain in weight is more due to malice from the universe.

After all, he is called Di Pangpang, how can he not gain weight?

"Di Si Cheng, I hope you are working in Dali Temple. Have you heard about the murder case of the Houjin envoy today?" Lin Chen said in an incomprehensible tone.

Di Renjie was startled when he heard this and nodded subconsciously.

Of course he knew it and was very concerned about it.

The murder case of the Hou Jin envoy spread among the people in the capital.

For the people in the capital who don't mind watching the excitement, this is the best talking point.

In addition, some officials in the Ministry of Rites were not strict in speaking, and all kinds of gossip were flying all over the place.

Some people say that these people from the Hou Jin mission were poisoned, while others say that it was the work of people in the Jianghu.

What's even more outrageous is that it was said that this was Hou Jin's own hand, just to have a legitimate excuse to continue fighting with Li Tang.

I think the person who spread the rumor behind him didn't know the current situation in Liaodong.

Liaodong was already bitter and cold, making it difficult to raise troops.

Coupled with Hou Jin's new defeat, how could he have the confidence to become an enemy of Li Tang without using the land of Li Tang?

Take Xixia as an example.

In Xixia, Li Tang also suffered from a stubborn illness.

However, Xixia has two states, and the mountains and natural dangers serve as barriers.

Otherwise, Jin Jin would not have thought of making a risky move, like assassinating the king and killing the driver.

Lin Chen looked at Di Renjie, wanting to hear his opinion.

"The lower official is just a minister. This case has been solved by the minister of Dali Temple. General Lin can ask the minister."

You poor Di Pangpang, how dare you pretend to be confused in front of this general.

Lin Chen looked at Di Renjie with a smile. If he hadn't known about his original history, he would have been fooled by him.

In this case, he didn't intend to betray Di Renjie anymore.

"Di Renjie!"

Lin Chen's tone became serious.

Hearing the sound, the latter subconsciously straightened his body.

"Your Majesty has ordered this general to be the imperial envoy to investigate the murder of the mission. He can mobilize six doors and Dali Temple to assist."

hiss!

When Lin Chen said these words, Di Pangpang took a deep breath.

The implication of His Majesty's words was to allow Lin Chen to do things easily.

No wonder the outside world said that Lin Chenjia was His Majesty's most trusted minister, and it was true.

But.

Di Renjie was a little confused. What does this have to do with him?

But what Lin Chen said next made him feel a chill in his heart, plus a hint of surprise.

"Huai Ying."

Lin Chen's tone calmed down and he said, "This general is still short of a deputy for this case. Are you willing?"

Di Renjie suddenly felt frightened when he heard what Lin Chen said.

He did not expect that after half his career as an official, he would encounter the support of a noble person after coming to the capital.

Honglu Temple.

Lin Chen looked at the internal environment.

Compared with other government mansions, Honglu Temple is much more impressive.

The reason is quite understandable.

This Honglu Temple is home to barbarians from other vassals all year round, so it is natural that the official residence should be made more grand.

Otherwise, the barbarians will underestimate the majesty of the Celestial Kingdom.

"The Prime Minister of Honglu Temple has met Mr. Lin!"

A frightened middle-aged official quickly stepped forward to salute Lin Chen.

Lin Chen glanced at the other party, motioned for him to stand up, and said, "Take this general and Di Sicheng to the crime scene."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

At present, he is not being held accountable by Lin Chen, the imperial envoy, which at least means that he can still keep the black gauze hat on his head.

What Lin Chen didn't expect was that there were several old acquaintances at the scene of the crime.

They are the four famous arresters from the six gates.

Today's Qing Qing is dressed in white clothes like snow, and the ink flows down like a waterfall, reaching waist and shoulders.

I have to say, it’s very eye-catching.

It's just that cold Sanwu face that makes people feel a little cold.

Wuqing also saw Lin Chen and frowned slightly.

"I've met General Lin."

Zhui Ming saluted with a smile.

He didn't know why, but his eldest sister had a hint of hostility towards Lin Chenjia.

It's obvious that the two of them have never met each other.

Lin Chen ignored the ruthless little move and just asked about the case.

Di Pangpang had already started searching the crime scene.

These Houjin envoys lived in the large pavilions of Honglu Temple.

The interiors are pretty much the same.

Although the corpse has been carried away by the widower, a mark has been used to mark the location of the body.

When Lin Chen heard the description of the monk from Dali Temple, his brows raised slightly under his ghostly face: "You mean, these dead people have no external injuries on their bodies?"

Hearing this, Wuzuo nodded respectfully and said, "I don't dare to deceive you. These Houjin envoys do not have any external injuries on their bodies. It's just like they died suddenly."

"Death suddenly?"

There was a thoughtful look in Lin Chen's eyes.

Looking at this large attic, it is very tightly covered due to winter.

The charcoal stove was placed on one side of the room and had long been extinguished, leaving only cold ashes.

Don't think that the ancients were stupid.

Carbon dioxide poisoning has been documented since ancient times.

The difference is that the ancients called this the condensation of depressed energy, which is harmful to people's lives.

Therefore, the stove in this room also has a vent.

So it's not carbon dioxide poisoning.

Lin Chen ignored these four famous arrests for the time being. Instead, he came to Di Pangpang, who was pacing and observing in the room, and said calmly: "Huaiying, what do you think?"

Di Renjie's eyes fell on the stove, his eyes brightening slightly.

"Master Lin, I may have found the murderer."
