Goshidai.

Originally, Han Zongdao and Ma Yan were discussing the matter of Zhang Dian killing Song Lian on the street, but before they could discuss the reason, the news of another cane death in the palace actually spread.

It was the Zongzheng Temple who was killed!

The two glanced at each other, and were just about to speak, when a violent noise suddenly erupted outside.

"Why kill Li Siqing with a cane!"

"A dignified and upright Zhengqing, how can he say that he will be killed with a cane!"

"What is the reason? Zongzheng Temple Siqing said that the rod will be killed, and he doesn't ask about justice at all, what is the reason! ”

"Whatever the reason, Your Majesty can't act like this! is so violent, isn't it possible to kill whoever you want with a cane! ”

"Where is my Great Song system? Where does the ancestral system exist! ”

"As Fengxian, we should stand up, admonish lawlessness, and discourage the king's mistakes!"

"Yes, immediately go to the book, please Your Majesty think about your own mistakes, and show the government and the opposition!"

"Okay, just do it!"

The officials were filled with righteous indignation, anger was unbearable, and one by one they were full of anger.

Han Zongdao and Ma Yan glanced at each other, and the two sat back with solemn faces.

Han Zongdao's face sank like water, and he said, "You also saw it." ”

Ma Yan is the middle of the imperial history, the actual 'director', and has not yet escaped from the Su Zhe case, and now the imperial historians are obviously provoked, and if they want to do something, he has more headaches than Han Zongdao.

His temples twitched twice, and Ma Yan said, "What are you going to do?" ”

The Inspection Department openly besieged the Imperial City Division, and this matter made a fuss, and Kaifeng Mansion couldn't do it at all! Even if Zhang Dian killed people on the street, the board would not be able to hit Zhang Tun.

Han Zongdao's chest was full of boredom and depression, and he said, "What else can I do?" Of course, it is to enter the palace and ask for sin. Look at it, whether it is the Sansi Yamen, or Lu Xianggong's, or today's matter, it is just the beginning, our official family has no constraints, I am afraid that it will really turn the world upside down......"

Ma Yan twitched a few times as he listened, but he couldn't speak.

That is an official family, and even Lu Dafang has entered the cell, what can they do?

Han Zongdao's face was cold, and after a while, he said: "This Zhang Xianggong is full of resentment towards Lu Xianggong and the others, which can be seen from today's events. ”

Ma Yan suddenly heard the meaning of the words, and his heart was slightly shocked, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Han Zongdao snorted and said, "What can you do?" People in Kaifeng Mansion are now thinking differently, and they are all looking for new backers. Also, I heard that Yang Wei looked for Zhang Dian four or five times a day, and I don't know how many people blocked the door of Zhang's mansion. ”

Ma Yan listened to the still unstoppable noise outside, endured it, and said, "I'll go to the Criminal Department later, Huang Shangshu may not be able to suppress it, someone is trying to punish him." ”

Han Zongdao's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Didn't the official family say that he didn't care about the past? ”

Ma Yan glanced at him and said, "There are so many people who want to be on top, and it is difficult for the official family to let go lightly." ”

Ma Yan added one more sentence in his heart: Do you really think that the official family will put it down lightly? If it weren't for the fact that the pro-government was not safe enough just now, how could it be just a cane to kill one or two people, I am afraid that the court would have been bloodied a long time ago.

Han Zongdao was not a fool, he stood up a little irritably, and said, "Okay, everything that should be said to you, you can decide for yourself." ”

Ma Yan didn't speak, and he didn't send him.

Han Zongdao came here to say so much, in fact, the voice outside the words was already very obvious: he was ready to resign!

Ma Yan sat for a while, feeling a headache, took a deep breath, got up and walked out of the Yushi Terrace, and went to the Criminal Department.

As soon as he entered the Criminal Department, in Huang Shan's duty room, Huang Zhan said impatiently: "We don't rely on either side, in the past, Lu Xianggong and others suppressed us, and now Zhang Dan suppresses us, and we are doing a test to make a patrol, what's so strange!" ”

Ma Yan didn't want to talk about these things, so he said directly: "Find out about Su Zhe's death, Lu Dafang will let the Imperial City Division handle it, and if it goes on like this, I will resign and return to my hometown." ”

Huang Zhan suppressed a lot of anger recently, and said angrily: "You want to go?" Which is so easy? Su Zhe, how could Lu Dafang's matter be so easy? I heard that Su Xianggong, Er Fan, and the Empress Dowager in the palace were all alarmed, and I don't know what to do......"

Ma Yan was not much better than Huang Shan, thinking that those officials of the Yushitai were busy reading books, trying to 'persuade' Zhao Xu, he had a headache, and said: "We can't manage so much, hurry up and end these things, don't always be caught by the tail." ”

Huang Yan only vented two sentences, it was impossible to really pick on him, so he got up and said, "Let's go." ”

So, the two interrogated Lu Dafang and other henchmen again, wanting to clarify the truth of the case of the three divisions of the yamen, Su Zhe's death, etc.

When the Criminal Department intensified the interrogation, Han Zongdao went outside the Vertical Arch Hall.

Zhao Xu was intently looking at all kinds of information, Chen Pi waited for a gap, and hurriedly said: "Official, Han Zongdao of Kaifeng Mansion is here." ”

Zhao Xu flipped through the pages of the book and said, "Just here to ask for sin?" ”

Chen Pi said: "Yes, he said so. ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand, and said without raising his head: "Just deal with it verbally, let him go back." ”

Chen Pi blinked and understood, this Han Zongdao still refused to stand in line. He bowed and quietly turned to go out.

Not far from the door, Han Zongdao listened to Chen Pi's relay, 'Go back', stepped forward with some caution, and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Chen, the official family really has no intention of pursuing it?" ”

Chen Pi hugged the floating dust, his face was expressionless, and said: "It's the original words of the official family." ”

Han Zongdao looked at Chen Pi, thinking about the meaning of Zhao Xu's words, but he couldn't figure out the true meaning.

Is it true that there is no guilt, or is it to be punished severely? Or just doesn't matter?

Han Zongdao couldn't make up his mind, his heart sank, so he had to say: "Thank you, father-in-law, farewell." ”

Chen Pi looked at his back, sneered, and turned back to the Vertical Arch Hall.

Zhao Xu didn't say anything, he was very busy, firstly, he had to make up a lot of knowledge, and secondly, he had to give more consideration to the situation of the DPRK, especially in terms of personnel, which needed to be carefully considered.

In the evening, the hustle and bustle in Kaifeng City did not decrease but rose, and the political hall received all kinds of impeachments and admonitions, as many as 60 copies, which was even more than when the 'old party' attacked the 'new party' during the reign of Shenzong!

Shen Qi, a scholar in the middle school, looked solemn, and when the sky was about to darken, he sorted it out, and sent some of it to the tiled house outside the vertical arch hall, and some of it was sent to the vertical arch hall.

Zhao Xu just flipped through the brief and threw it all aside.

Stay in the vertical arch hall until the sky is dark, Zhao Xu came to an end, rested for a while, and returned to the Funing Palace.

Chen Pi followed behind Zhao Xu and said step by step: "The official family, the matter of Xianggong Zhang, and the matter of Li Gongyan caused a shock outside, and there were many people who made trouble. ”

Zhao Xu kneaded his shoulders, feeling that his right arm couldn't be raised, and said casually: "The bigger the trouble, the better, find an opportunity to add more fire." When will Chu You come back? ”

Chen Pi hurriedly said: "Chu You handed back the message, as early as five days, or as late as half a month. ”

Zhao Xu snorted and said, "As long as the army inside and outside Kaifeng is controlled, other problems will not be big." On the Privy Council's side, we must continue to keep an eye on it, and Cai Bian, Zeng Bu has arrived in Beijing, and I will be called to see me as soon as possible. Let Zhang Dian and Liang Tao recommend more talents, and those who should be recruited back will be recruited back, whether they can be used or not, come back first. ”

Chen Pi responded, looked at Zhao Xu carefully, and said, "Yes." In addition, the Empress Dowager was very angry and said to have killed a yellow gate with a cane. ”

Zhao Xu looked in the direction of Cining Palace, pondered for a moment, and said, "Wait." ”

Chen Pi lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, and followed Zhao Xu into the Funing Palace.

Zhao Xu finished dinner, rested for a while, still felt that his shoulders and arms were sore, and before entering the dormitory, he thought about it and said, "Chen Pi, pass on Meng Meiren to sleep." ”
