Of course, a few small shrimps are not worth asking Zhao Hao personally, but he still finished breakfast every day, and then led a team of guards to ride horses to the Imperial Protector's Mansion to hear the trial. The reason why he is doing this is to convey to the outside world that he cares about this case very much, and he must find out; The second is that the palace is too stuffy, if you stay comfortable in the capital, you can go out for a stroll when you are free.

Zhao Yu was at ease, which not only made the court nervous, but also made Zheng Huchen and Ni Liang nervous. They all know the temperament of this young master, he has to run out for a walk since he was a child, and now that he has a legitimate reason and is out of the control of the queen mother, who can still limit him. I had to keep an eye on it at all times, and when I noticed any unusual movements, I immediately followed it to avoid accidents.

"Your Majesty!" Today is the tenth day of the slander of the emperor, the little emperor came on time early in the morning, Ni Liang was already waiting outside the door, seeing the holy car coming, Ni Liang stepped forward to salute and grabbed the reins of the horse, ready to help the little emperor dismount.

"I've told you a long time ago, just do it if you have something, you don't have to wait here every day!" Zhao Yu didn't wait for him to stretch out his hand, he had already turned over and jumped off the horse, and threw the reins of the horse to Chen Dundao.

"No, subordinates can't break the rules!" Ni Liang shook his head and said solemnly.

"Alas, so be it!" Zhao Hao looked at Ni Liang and sighed helplessly, and entered the house under his guidance.

The Imperial Protector Army is the emperor's pro-army, the elite of the army, has always been known for its strict military discipline and strong combat effectiveness, and there is not only a leading organ of the protector here, but also stationed in the pro-guard battalion, cavalry battalion and baggage battalion directly under the Metropolitan Division, even on weekdays it is heavily guarded, and now the prisoners are closed, and His Majesty works here every day, so it has added twice as many posts as usual.

But Zhao Hao felt at ease, after all, this is the origin of his own business, and at the beginning, he lived in the guard camp all day long, just like his own home, if he didn't even feel safe here, then there would be no place to sleep. So he was very relaxed, and from time to time he said hello to the veterans he knew and chatted for a few days, which was a little more relaxed than in the palace.

"Has Master Zheng arrived?" The arrested prisoners are all locked up in the backyard of the government office, and the location of the interrogation is also arranged there in order to facilitate the interrogation, passing through the middle hall, and behind it is the central place of the government office, Zhao Yu asked as he walked.

"Your Majesty, Director Zheng didn't go back yesterday, he should have been interrogated overnight!" Ni Liang replied.

"Director Zheng is also not young, you have to take good care of it, eat more carefully, and clean up a yard so that he can take a temporary rest." Zhao Yu listened to the words and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, ten years have passed, and he is already over middle age.

"His subordinates obeyed orders, and now Director Zheng's meals are all provided by Xiaozao, but he refuses to exceed the standard." Ni Liang was a little embarrassed.

"Director Zheng is a person of sensibility, your grade has surpassed him, and because he is hanging under the Imperial City Division, he has only five grades so far, and he has been wronged." Zhao Hao sighed lightly and said.

"Well, the subordinates also feel unfair, the merits of Chief Zheng are far better than those high-ranking officials in the court, not only do they have to be incognito, but they can only be subservient." Ni Liang was also dissatisfied.

"If the officials of the DPRK and China were all like Zheng, there would not be so many disputes!" Zhao Hao said with emotion.

"Having said that, it's too unfair to Master Zheng." Ni Liang ignored the little emperor's sentimentality and said with a dark face.

"Hehe, even you don't see it fairly, I seem to be really ashamed of it!" Zhao Hao laughed dryly and said, "Since it can't be done clearly, let's come secretly, and after I become a pro-government, we will make him a marquis." ”

"Why is Your Majesty so pleased?" Zhao Yu and his entourage unconsciously arrived at the place, and Zheng Huchen was already waiting in front of the door, and asked with a smile.

"It's a good thing, it's a good thing!" Zhao Yu pulled Ni Liang's shirt and asked him not to talk too much, and then returned the salute.

"Today is the day of Your Majesty's invitation, and the big wedding is coming, so naturally good things are coming." Zheng Huchen said with a smile.

"Please? Today is the day of my petition, and I have long forgotten it. Zhao Yu frowned, pinched his fingers and silently calculated that this was indeed the case, and said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty forgets his private country and his family, and his subordinates admire him so much!" Zheng Huchen saluted again.

"I don't dare to be it, but Master Zheng is conscientious and conscientious, which makes me respect." Zhao Yu stepped forward and said in a word.

Sending the little emperor here, Ni Liang retreated without even entering the courtyard. The courtyard is not big, it should also be an office place in the past, the middle is the office of the chief officer, and now it is changed to a place of interrogation, and the left and right sides are respectively used as the office of the Secretariat and the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple. The east and west wings of the courtyard were used as prisons for prisoners and duty rooms for guards.

The backyard was Zhao Yu's temporary resting place, guarded by the guard battalion, and several small yellow doors were in charge of waiting. When Zhao Yu entered the house, a brazier had already been lit here, and the room was warm, and his own little yellow door helped him remove the big coat and boots outside, and sent hot tea and snacks, and he asked Zheng Huchen and Chen Dun to sit down around the low table.

"I listened to Ni Liangyan, you haven't slept all night, remember to pay attention to your body, don't work too hard!" Zhao Hao looked at Zheng Huchen's eyes with bloodshot eyes, and said with concern.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are fine, and they slept for two hours in the morning, so it's okay." Zheng Huchen waved his hand.

"Well, I have asked Ni Liang to clean up a yard, you can rest there when it's late, and you don't have to bow down to everything, just have someone below to deal with these little shrimps." Zhao Yu said.

"This ...... His Majesty was worried about such a trivial matter, and his subordinates were terrified. Zheng Huchen bowed his head and saluted when he heard it, and he was quite moved.

"Eh, I have always remembered your merits, and the role of the Jiangnan Affairs Bureau in recovering is far better than my two armies, even if someone exchanges the land of the thirty states in the Central Plains, I will not agree." Zhao Yu waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, how many states are you worth?" Chen Dun listened to it and said jokingly.

"If Meng Yuan and the county are exchanged, I will feel that I have taken a big advantage!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is too partial!" Chen Dun was anxious when he heard this, and said with two eyes.

"Commander Chen, Your Majesty is joking!" Seeing this, Zheng Huchen said, "If you are in trouble, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be the first to lead the troops to rescue you, even if it is thousands of mountains and rivers, you will never hesitate." ”

"I don't believe it, I don't have a cheap life that is not as good as the county, where is it worth His Majesty's personal conquest!" Although Chen Dun knew in his heart that Zheng Huchen was right, his head still shook like a rattle and sighed.

"Ignore him, did last night's interrogation bear fruit?" Zhao Yu glanced at Chen Dun and asked instead.

"Your Majesty, yesterday Li Kuan finally spit out that he was caught by Ding Qi, and he threatened with impeachment, so he was arranged by him to disrupt the transformation of the East Palace, but he didn't know that Ding Qi wanted to use this to participate in His Majesty's embezzlement of the country!" Zheng Huchen replied, "So his subordinates interrogated Ding Qi again, but this thief was also hard-mouthed, although he admitted to instructing Li Kuan, he refused to recruit the instructor, and only said that it was for the sake of the country. ”

"What about the others?" Zhao Hao asked with a chuckle.

"Those few wanted to continue to deny it at first, but they said it after a meal, and they all said that they were bewitched by Ding Qi and signed on the song in a drunken and confused situation." Zheng Huchen replied.

"Hehe, a six-grade imperial history can make them all obey the arrangement, who will believe this thing, there must be a hidden secret!" Zhao Yu sneered.

"Your Majesty said exactly that, and so did your subordinates. After sending people to check from the periphery, they found that it was not that they had no deep friendships as they said before, but that they were inextricably linked, and they pointed to one person. Zheng Huchen nodded.

"Wang Zhen, the left servant of the ministry!" Zhao Yu said.

"Oh, Your Majesty already knows?" Zheng Huchen said in surprise.

"No, it's the speculation of Governor Ying and Jiang Shangshu after analyzing the situation of several people involved in the case, but there is no real evidence, I just want to confirm whether their guess is accurate." Zhao Yu waved his hand and denied it, but he also knew from his expression that the old man had analyzed it well.

"Don't do what the governor speculates, this matter should be related to Wang Zhen. These people involved in the case were either their fellow villagers or were recommended by him to re-enter the office, and they had close private contacts, especially Ding Qi has always regarded himself as his protégé and often went in and out of Wang Zhen's mansion. Zheng Huchen said.

So his subordinates mobilized people overnight to collect Wang Zhen's situation, and at the same time interrogated Ding Qi again. Under the heavy punishment, he confessed that this matter was instructed by Wang Zhen, and he contacted his colleagues to carry it out. And the investigation of Wang Zhen's side also has results, after the Xing Dynasty moved back to Lin'an, he began to deliberately recruit party henchmen, and used his power to install them in various ministries and provinces, because they often met in Nanping Mountain with poems, they called themselves Nanping Society, and they have formed a party, communicating with each other in the court, and protecting each other. ”

"Now that it has been determined that Wang is really the mastermind, why not take it down? Wouldn't it be a bad thing to let him run away. Chen Dun said urgently.

"Commander Chen, Wang Zhennai is a member of the three grades of the imperial court, how can he be arrested and interrogated without an edict. And at that time, it was already the third watch, and I couldn't enter the palace to ask for a decree! Zheng Huchen explained.

"Chief Zheng, didn't Your Majesty give you a waist card, and you can enter the palace at any time to see the right to drive?" Chen Dun said again.

"Your Majesty gave the gold medal to be true, but how can it be abused unless it is urgent!" Zheng Huchen smiled.

"You really should follow Master Zheng for a few years, otherwise you will never be able to change your cynical and reckless temperament." Chen Dun wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zhao Yu, "Did you find any signs of Wang Zhen colluding with Meng Yuan at the moment?" ”

"Your Majesty, for the time being, there has been no evidence of collusion with the enemy and dealings with the enemy, and further investigation is still to be made." Zheng Huchen replied.

"Hmmm! What's next? Zhao Yu nodded, what he was most worried about was the collusion between the courtiers and Meng Yuan, it was not a contradiction among the people, but a contradiction between the enemy and me, and it was impossible for him to kill without thinking about it.

"The subordinates thought that they should continue to dig deeper, find out what the purpose of his impeachment was His Majesty, and find out who his party was and who were involved? Instead of rushing to close the case! Zheng Huchen replied.

"Well, how do you think you should check?" Zhao Hao groaned slightly.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that it should be carried out simultaneously, on the one hand, continue to secretly investigate whether they colluded with the enemy, and on the other hand, continue to investigate the people involved." Zheng Huchen thought about it and said, "When the subordinates thought that they could use the method of scaring the snake to release the two people involved who did not know the inside information, they kept summoning the relevant people in the Nanping Society to come for questioning, so that they could not figure out how much information we knew about them, so that they were all in danger and wary of each other. In a panic, it is inevitable that they will not show their feet. ”

"Okay, you can handle it according to this, so that Wang Zhen can't figure out our way. However, I thought that I could summon Wang Zhen at the same time as the release of the person, and see his current attitude. Zhao Yu pouted and said with a wicked smile.

"Hehe, Your Majesty's ideas are always unexpected." Zheng Huchen understood after a little thought, and said with a smile, "Summoning Wang Zhen can make his henchmen panic, and if they don't know what's going on, they will definitely go around and show their whereabouts; If he is released at the same time, it will also make Wang Zhen think that his comrades have confessed to him, so that he has no bottom in his heart, and he will also be suspicious of others, and he will inevitably mess up under mutual suspicion; In addition, if Wang Zhen behaves misheavily after being summoned, he will definitely try to protect himself, and whether he has colluded with the enemy will be revealed. ”

"In that case, I'll take someone to arrest Wang Zhen, don't let him run away!" Chen Dun got up and hurriedly said after hearing this.

"At this time, the situation is unknown, and he will not run. Besides, today is the day of Your Majesty's wedding, and you led your troops to the court to arrest people and disturb the ceremony, where is Your Majesty! Zheng Huchen said with some amusement when he saw this.

"Director Zheng is right, it is always unseemly to arrest people in the main hall, it is better to bring people in his office." Zhao Yu said, "That's it today, Director Zheng has worked hard all night, and he should take a good rest, and I will have a relaxing day." ”

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you be going on a private visit again?" As soon as the little emperor spoke, Zheng Huchen immediately became alert and asked suspiciously. And said that the private visit was to save face, he was mostly going shopping, and if something happened, how could he take care of it.

"No, I'm just curious about what I'm going to do during the invitation, and I want to go and see it, otherwise wouldn't it be ......" Zhao Yu didn't hide it, and said straightforwardly, but in the end, he couldn't think of a proper word to express it.

"Your Majesty, please have your own Queen Mother, and relevant people will do it, and your Majesty doesn't need to show up, otherwise it will violate the etiquette law!" Zheng Huchen couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, the little emperor was going to see his own liveliness, his behavior was too naïve, but he thought that he was still a child after all, so he dissuaded.

"What's the matter, I think that the people of the Wu family don't know me, wouldn't it be very interesting to sneak into the mansion to have a meal!" Zhao Yu didn't change his mind and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Wu family doesn't know Your Majesty, but the envoy who went to ask for the appointment is an important minister of the court, and the accompanying people are all officials of the court, which of them doesn't know Your Majesty, if they see through it, wouldn't they be laughing and generous!" Zheng Huchen was amused, the little emperor has always been thoughtful, why did he forget this one, let the world know that the little emperor was impatient to go to his father-in-law's house to eat, and it has become a joke for the ages......
