Li Qianting sighed and glanced at Gongsun Jian and Cheng Shuren, "Let's go too, Brother Cheng will go back to the house with me, I think you two should have something to say to me, I don't want to be like an ignorant person when something so big happens." ”

In the Tianming tavern in the north of the capital, Ma Miao sat on the counter listlessly flipping through the account books, thinking about how to develop the spy network deeper, and now it is too simple to only control the affairs of the people, and it is not easy to know the internal affairs of the DPRK and China, and it is not an easy task to stick a nail in the court.

A man in ordinary clothes walked quickly outside the door, sitting at the table closest to the counter, asking for some food.

Ma Miao personally took a pot of wine and sent it over, and asked without leaving a trace, "Something?" ”

The man poured a glass of wine and put it between his lips and said, "Something is wrong." ”

After speaking, his brows changed, "Shopkeeper, I have an urgent matter, I don't want to eat, this is wine money." ”

The man took out a few copper plates from his bosom and hurriedly walked out again.

Ma Miao was not surprised, put away the wine jug, and picked up the copper plates one by one, and under one of the copper plates there was a note only the size of a thumb.

Ma Miao walked back to the counter, put the note on the account book, and looked at it carefully.

The mediocre-looking man is the leader of the Eagle House in their Eagle Dog Division, and he is a lazy man who has nothing to do on weekdays, but in fact, he controls the spy reports of half of the capital.

Ma Miao looked at the thumb-sized, but hundreds of words of the note was crushed and thrown into the wine jar, he smiled helplessly, and said to himself: "After beating the prince of King Kang, most of the bones in his body were broken, and he had more air and less air intake, if it wasn't for Li Qianting's martial arts, I'm afraid this blow would be enough to kill him." ”

Ma Miao got up and stretched, turned his head to look at the empty attic, "I have something to do, let all the leaders of the Eagle House put down what they are doing, and all keep an eye on the Kangyi Palace, Mingqing Palace, and Shangshu Mansion, gather the people in the dog room, and then notify those people outside the city." ”

The attic let out a soft grunt for no apparent reason.

Zhao Goutong, who has nothing to do in the small yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is looking at the dusty cases that accumulated a few years ago in the courtyard, and these unsolved murder cases have been two years at the earliest, and eight years at the latest, and now the murderer is still at large.

He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and sighed lightly, "The big yamen is really unwilling, they have put me in the small yamen, and they are still thinking about pitting me, these cases seem to be love killings, vendetta and manslaughter, but in fact they are all cases made by martial arts masters, and now the murderer's children will play soy sauce, how can I judge?" ”

"I think so."

Wan Rong, who was doing laundry next to her, wiped the sweat from her forehead, "If you say anything, you will be demoted to the master book if you can't be judged, I think they are suppressing you." ”

"It's not easy to get into a poor family."

Zhao Goutong closed the file, and at this time, a catcher suddenly ran outside the door, shouting that something was wrong.

Zhao Goutong frowned, he had already made it clear that no one was allowed to enter his small courtyard, after all, sometimes he was not at ease when he left home to handle the case and left Wanrong alone, which was also the only bottom line he had endured in the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for so long, and at this time, a person suddenly broke in, which gave rise to a trace of anger in his plain heart.

"If you can't tell me how big things are bad, I'll make you big things bad."

At this time, he remembered the ban of the county commander, and he forgot about it in a hurry when he learned the news, so he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "My lord, it's really not good, the man who beat Sun Laibao a few days ago, and today he beat the prince of Kang, the injury is very serious, and Sun Laibao's broken hand and foot can only be regarded as a trivial matter in front of the prince." ”

Zhao Gou was stunned, "Is that Gongsun Jian?" ”

"It was he who just went down to handle a theft case and found out about it on the way back from detaining a prisoner."

"Reliable information?"

"Reliable!"

Wan Rong frowned lightly, rubbed her slender waist and stood up and said, "No, Gongsun Gongzi seems to be a very stable and sensible person, how could he go to beat His Royal Highness, did you listen to the rumors in the market?" ”

Zhu Kuai couldn't help but peek at this graceful county lady, thinking that the boy surnamed Gongsun would not beat Sun Laibao on the street if he was stable.

Thinking so, he would definitely not say so, he peeked at Wan Rong again because she stood up and did not tidy up her clothes, revealing a little white flower, he swallowed his saliva and said: "My subordinate has a cousin on the side of the guard, and when I saw him hurrying to gather on the way, I asked him a few words, and from what he said, His Royal Highness the Prince was seriously injured, and King Kang was furious. ”

Zhao Goutong noticed the eyes of the catcher, and he waved his hand in disgust, "You stand down, you have to calm down in everything in the future, don't make a fuss, and let me see you trespassing in the inner courtyard again, you don't have to do this catch." ”

Caught fast frightened, hurriedly retreated, the beauty is good-looking, but the official position is lost can be a big hair, although the catch fast is just a small official who does not enter the stream, but it is also to eat official meals, no matter what you do on weekdays, you can walk with your head up, for ordinary people, it is already an errand of the glorious lintel.

Seeing that the catch was about to retreat, Zhao Goutong coughed lightly, and Wan Rong noticed her indecency, and she blamed her with an embarrassed face.

"Don't be angry, such a little official with a bad character, find a reason to drive him out of the yamen in the future."

Wan Rong glanced at him again, and said softly: "It should be true to listen to what the unscrupulous catcher said, he seriously injured His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and this incident happened, why do you think he is so impulsive?" ”

"He's not impulsive."

Zhao Goutong said calmly: "I know Gongsun, he is very tolerant on the one hand, but also very irritable on the other hand, it must be Li Qianting who offended him somewhere, otherwise he would not have done such a thing." ”

"And what should you do?"

"What else, what can I do with a county order? Unless they can still confront the court, I can say something biased when the time comes, but when it comes to the big man King Kang, even if it is a confrontation, it will not be a small yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but will only be handed over to the Criminal Department and tried by the Criminal Ministry Shangshu himself. ”

Wan Rong sighed faintly, "It seems that your brother is also very lucky, Prince Mingqing will definitely not offend King Kang because of him." ”

Zhao Goutong shook his head, "I think that if Prince Mingqing has a little brain, he will definitely die to protect his grandson." ”

"But what if...... Do you need Mr. Sun to come forward? ”

"Don't worry, I believe that he won't beat people for no reason, and I believe that he will never beat people without relying on him, and if something really happens to him, then ask the teacher again."

Wan Rong nodded, it can only be like this, after all, now their family is just a small official who has just entered the sixth grade, and in front of those big people in the capital, it is insignificant.

……

……

In the depths of the palace, Li Ru was lying on the couch, listening carefully to Lu Dongshan's report, and his eyes changed from sadness and joy to doubt.

"Why did his Gongsun Jian hurt Li Qianting?"

Lu Dongshan shook his head, "That's what it says in the secret report, and the slaves don't know, and the specific situation still needs to be asked about those people in the Accord." ”

"Who's in the Accord? Don't talk about the people of the wind and the moon. ”

Lu Dongshan knew what Li Ru meant, and he replied: "Cheng Shuren, the grandson of Cheng Chunlin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Feng Yi, the grandson of Feng Ping'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the prince of Ming, the prince of Kang, and Gongsun Jian. ”

Li Ru nodded, "Go and find out why Cheng Shuren and Feng Yi got mixed up with Li Qianying." ”

Lu Dongshan smiled slightly, "Your Majesty forgot, I have checked it many times, they have played well since they were children, and they are still friends until now, besides, these three people have no official status, and their high hall has no intersection." ”

"Yes, yes, I forgot about this stubble, I also played with them when I was in the hidden dragon."

Li Ru straightened up, "You asked people to find out what the reason for the fight...... That's it, it doesn't matter what the reason is now, what happened to Li Qianting? ”

"When I left Accord, my life hung by a thread, but now I have been rescued, but I am still seriously injured."

"It's okay if you're not dead, if you die, I'll have a headache again, and I won't be able to catch this big fish, do you say that this Li Qianting was caught in the door when he was a child, he should know who Gongsun Jian is, and he is going to provoke, not afraid of causing trouble for his father?"

Li Ru paused, his brows furrowed as if he remembered something, "I heard you just said that Li Ruxiang is gathering the guards?" ”

"Exactly."

"That's right, I have two holy decrees, and when the time comes, King Ming will definitely intervene in this matter, and the matter is destined to go to the Criminal Department, and then you go to the Criminal Department to announce the first holy decree, if you see which Praetorian Commander dares to make a move, he will directly dismiss his official position, and Sun Qi'an is a crime, I didn't write my name in it, you add it when you read it. By the way, don't forget to bring Cao Jiang, in case of a counterattack, you can also deal with it. ”

Lu Dongshan took the holy decree that had been prepared on the table a long time ago, "The slave receives the order." ”

Lu Dongshan just got out of the imperial study, and bumped into a person head-on, only to hear the person's strong voice, helping him and saying with a smile: "Father-in-law Lu, be careful." ”

Lu Dongshan raised his head, only then did he see the face of the person clearly, only four people in the entire court entered the imperial study without notification, the queen Cheng Yiyue, the crown prince Li Qianmin, and the head of the Imperial City Division Lin Daxiang and the new commander of the Zhenfu Division Wen Renzong.

"It was originally the commander of the Pacification Division, and our family will lead the way for you."

Wen Renzong nodded, "There is Father-in-law Lao Lu." ”

The two came to the second floor together, and Li Ru was a little curious when he saw this, "I heard that the commander is a rare guest." ”

Wen Renzong knelt down, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"Tell me what's going on."

"A few days ago, Duke Lu led His Majesty's dictation, and asked me to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Civil Affairs and find a clue."

"Where's Mr. Lin?"

"The Imperial City Division and the Zhenfu Division checked each other, and the news was summarized, and Chief Lin was staring at the Shi clan, so it was up to the ministers to report it."

"Let's talk about it."

Wen Renzong spread out the file, "There are five scholars from the Hanmen who entered the Ministry of Civil Affairs before and after, and they were all suppressed by Huang Zemao, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, including Zhao Goutong, who His Majesty said was instructed by Mr. Sun to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. ”

Li Ru sneered, "I am really dark under the lights, the cold family has already entered the office, but they have all been suppressed, these officials really dare, you continue to investigate the evidence of their legal violations." Who did Zhao Goutong fight over there? ”

"The servants of the Ministry of Civil Affairs shoot Wang Cong."

Li Ru sighed deeply, waved his hand and said, "Deal with it according to law, do what should be done, and return what should be returned." ”

In the palace of Kangyi Wang, Li Ruxiang, the prince of Kangyi, sat in his cousin, his face was gloomy, and there was a young man with a lofty spirit sitting in the first place on the left below, with a tall and solemn face, and his eyebrows were very similar to Li Ruxiang, and Li Qianting was a tall and short gap.

"Dad, little brother, he's like this, let's just sit here and do nothing? Don't blame me for saying frustrating words, if I hadn't forced him to practice martial arts for a few years, he might have died last night! In my opinion, go directly to the Ming Wangfu to ask for someone, no matter how you explain that the king and we are a family, I don't believe that his nephew had an accident, and he is still protecting the culprit. ”

In the past, when Li Ruxiang still had military power, Li Qianyi was the one in charge of military power, and King Kang's Mansion could be related to so many Praetorian Guard commanders, and it was inseparable from him.

Years of military camp career also made him a little more angry and mature than the young people of the same generation, although the appearance is similar to Li Qianting, but the two walk side by side, you can see the difference between the two at a glance, King Kang has any important things to discuss with him, and every time he can get a lot of good feedback from his mouth, so that those literati in the house have no place to use.
