Jing Ting nodded and said, "There is one thing that needs to be bothered by Lord Zhao. ”

Zhao Qi listened, a little sluggish, and after reacting, he nodded and said, "Grand Commander, please speak." ”

"Lord Zhao knows that a month ago... Are there any houses around Deng's Mansion that have gone out of the water and dispatched fire divisions to extinguish the fire? Jing Ting's question was clueless.

Zhao Qi said puzzled: "A month ago... There are several places in the city where water has passed, but... The houses around the Deng Mansion... Xia Guan was not impressed. The Commander asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"Lord Zhao doesn't need to ask too much, just transfer these burning realms out..."Jiang Chengyi continued Jing Ting's words.

Zhao Qi could only nod and agree: "The lower official knows, so I will go back to the house, transfer the case file and send it to the two mansions." ”

Jing Ting said: "There is no need to send it to my house, Lord Jiang and I are going to Shangshutai right now, and I also ask Lord Zhao to find the documents recorded in the detailed case file... Sent directly to the Tofu Division. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Qi to answer, the two turned around and walked in the direction of Shangshutai.

Soon the six or seven guards who followed behind them obscured the figures.

Zhao Qi felt strange in his heart, but he didn't know what they had found, so he could only order the people in the house to drive the ox cart back again.

Along the way, Jing Ting and Jiang Chengyi lowered their heads silently, not knowing what they were thinking.

It wasn't until the two of them walked to the alley in front of Shangshutai that they glanced at each other and asked, "Master Jiang thinks... Was this incident done by Deng Yuan? ”

Jiang Chengyi frowned and said, "There are a lot of doubts in this matter... It's hard to decide... Didn't the Grand Commander also find it strange that he would come to Shangshutai with me? ”

Jing Ting's eyes sank, and he said, "It's just, all the evidence... All pointed to Deng Yuan. It's hard to argue with him. ”

Although Jiang Chengyi knew that the male corpse in the private house of the Deng Mansion was not killed, but was killed by drinking poison. However, the bombing of the Deng Mansion made him scratch his head.

He knew that Ning Nan would not do such a thing that disregarded the people around the Deng Mansion... But apart from him, Jiang Chengyi couldn't think of anyone who wanted to treat Shi An like this.

He was suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help but think of Gongzi Hengye, who killed Shi An in Hongnong half a month ago.

Could it be the hand of the people sent by the Fu family?

He was thinking about it, but Jing Ting beside him had already given an order. At this time, a group of city defense troops appeared on their side, and more than a dozen generals rushed towards Shangshutai.

It didn't take a moment. Deng Yuan was pressed out by the soldiers of the city defense army.

He kept shouting, "What are you city guards doing? Your Majesty said... There are a lot of affairs in the New Year, so I was asked to go back to Shangshutai to deal with the paperwork first... What are you doing now that you are escorting me out in such an unruly manner? ”

The city guards who were holding him did not listen to Deng Yuan's shouts, but rudely brought him to Jing Ting.

Deng Yuan glared at Jing Ting in horror and said, "Great Commander! What are you going to do? Do you want to lynch with the city defense army? Don't forget, although you are the commander of the city defense army, you are not qualified to arrest Shangshutai at will. Aren't you afraid that my grandfather will come to your consul's palace or sue your majesty? ”

Jing Ting wanted to open his mouth to refute him, but he heard the young man next to him take a step ahead of him and said, "I am the one who ordered you to be forcibly escorted out of Shangshutai." Lord Deng, the Dongfu Division is finally qualified to arrest the people of Shangshutai, right? His Majesty has an order, and if necessary, the Dongfu Division can issue an order for the city defense army to put Lord Deng in the dungeon of the Dongfu Division for careful interrogation. ”

Deng Yuan gritted his teeth and said anxiously: "Your Majesty's order is to say... If this bombing is really related to me, I can be taken to the dungeon of the Dongfu Division! Jiang Chengyi! I don't believe that you have found any evidence in the ruins of my house that would have led you to come and arrest me! You don't have to rely on Your Majesty's power here, the fox is a fake tiger! I tell you, if you dare to do anything to me, my grandfather will not let you go!" ”

Jiang Chengyi saw his teeth and claws, and didn't pay attention to it, but bowed to Jing Ting and said, "I'm tired of the Great Commander." ”

Jing Ting nodded, and although he beckoned to the general of the city defense army who was holding Deng Yuan, these soldiers immediately escorted him in the direction of Dongfu Division.

Originally, Jiang Chengyi could come and arrest Deng Yuan by relying only on the guards under the command of the Eastern Mansion. However, Emperor Wei refused, and insisted that Jing Ting review the case with him, even if Deng Yuan was to be taken away from Shangshutai in the end, it must be ordered by Jing Ting to take it away. Hassle-free

As for Deng Yuan's case, the reason why Emperor Wei did not let the Dongfu Division take full responsibility for the inspection was that he was suspicious in his heart, and he was afraid that Jiang Chengyi would have any bad plans against the Deng family. After all, for many years, the Deng clan had been the most important core force in Emperor Wei's power. He naturally didn't worry about Jiang Chengyi, a person who was born in the rivers and lakes and was killed halfway, and he was examined alone. Emperor Wei was suspicious and suspicious, and the person he believed most was Jing Ting, who had been in charge of the entire capital city defense army for him for many years, and competed with the two guards of the forbidden army to supervise each other.

The explosion of the private house of Dengfu was strange, and then a charred male corpse with special gold utensils made by the Marquis of Changshan was found from the ruins, and it was confirmed that he was Shi Anhou. Emperor Wei became even more concerned about the case.

In fact, Jiang Chengyi can see that the current emperor of Great Wei, although his strategic talent is not inferior to that of Emperor Ming, the holy lord of the Ming Dynasty, lacks a benevolent heart that worries about the people of the world.

He was not benevolent enough, so when he was young and fought with the powerful people left by the previous emperor in the court, who almost suppressed the imperial power, he was only focused on how to seize power. As long as there is no chaos in the world and the people do not make trouble, he will not consider whether the taxes in the world are heavy or not, let alone personally observe the people's livelihood and suffering.

All he worries about is his imperial power.

Over the years, Ning Zheng has been controlling the court and oppressing the common people with the power to cover the sky with one hand. The Great Wei Dynasty was constantly crying out for bitterness, so in contrast, he resisted the ministers one by one, and worked hard to manage and plan, bent on getting rid of the traitorous ministers for the people, and seeking a peace and tranquility for the world. It is the Ming monarch and the master in everyone's hearts.

His beautiful hymns of loving the people like a son are just because he pays more attention to winning the hearts of the people than Ning Zheng.

Such a dynasty, day after day... How can there still be good results?

Now, Emperor Wei attaches so much importance to the explosion of the private residence of Dengfu, not because he cares about the more than 70 people who died and were seriously injured, but because he is afraid that if the official family fails to handle this matter properly, it will cause a mass chaos in which the people of Luoyang are angry and ask for explanations. Therefore, he now wants to find out the truth, even if the truth can't be found, he has to find a substitute ghost and push it to the guillotine, so as to calm the people's grievances.

And just yesterday, when he and Jing Ting found Shi An's body, Emperor Wei's concern was no longer how to calm the people's grievances, and he was now more worried about the real ins and outs of Shi An's corpse in Deng Yuan's mansion, and wondered whether it was the Deng family who was making an ancient mistake in it, or a conspiracy played by the regent Ning Zheng.

The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.

Jiang Chengyi used to believe that it was only because of the powerful royal blood relatives like Ning Zheng that the world was repeatedly disturbed, and the border countries repeatedly invaded the country... And the Great Wei Emperor who was rumored to have an excellent reputation, good conduct, and dedicated to the people was just suffering from being born in such an era, when the scholars covered the sky with one hand, and the emperor's relatives controlled the court, so he couldn't display his ambition and talent.

However, when he really entered the court as an official, he found out... Even if the Thousand Machines Department has recorded all the strange news in the world and the turmoil in the government and the opposition... Even if he was familiar with the court situation, he didn't really know Emperor Wei.

Just when Jiang Chengyi was about to rush back to the Dongfu Division with Jing Ting and Deng Yuan, an old and calm old man's voice came from behind him: "Slow!" ”

Jing Ting stopped and turned to look behind him with him.

I saw Deng Guozhong standing in front of them fixedly, and said with a pale face: "May I ask what the Great Commander and Chief Jiang are doing?" You are both people of status, holding my grandchildren like this... Doesn't it feel too much to take people away from Shangshutai without knowing it? ”

Jing Ting bowed respectfully to Deng Guozhong and said, "Please also ask the captain to forgive me.... Xia Guan and Jiang Zhusi also dared to do something to Lord Deng on His Majesty's order..."

Deng Guozhong sneered and said, "On the orders of His Majesty? When did Your Majesty allow you to arrest people without permission? Especially you... Commander, what do you mean by coming with the city defense army? ”

Jiang Chengyi said lightly: "Your Majesty did not order the city defense army to come to arrest people, but ordered the younger generation to take the city defense army and the noble grandson of the Lingfu to the East Mansion Division for a small gathering." ”

"Xiaoju?" Deng Guozhong glared and sneered: "Jiang Chengyi, who do you think you will talk to again?" How dare you be presumptuous in front of me? You and the Grand Commander rushed over with such a ferocity... You tell me that you are just a small gathering? Do you think I'll believe it? ”

Jiang Chengyi said unhurriedly: "It's a small gathering now, and after the juniors have asked Master Deng something... It's a detention..."

Deng Guozhong said angrily: "What did you say?!" ”

Jiang Chengyi said categorically: "The juniors and the commander have already found evidence to prove that the prince of your mansion is indeed worried about the explosion of his private mansion..."

"What evidence?" Deng Guozhong said to him with a serious face: "You took it out for the old man to see?" Don't stall here with the old man..."

Jiang Chengyi was not afraid of her, straightened his waist and said to him: "The Dongfu Division reviewed the suspicious case, with the help of the city defense army, as well as His Majesty's handwritten edict... All the contents of the case are not allowed to be told to outsiders, please forgive the junior for not being able to respond to such a weak request from the captain. ”

Deng Guozhong said angrily: "You! How dare you talk to the old man like this? ”

Behind him, he was accompanied by several guards under the Taiwei Mansion, and in a fit of anger, he beckoned to them and said, "Someone! Take Childe back for me! ”
