"I know what you mean, who used firecrackers to store these rebellion items in the warehouses of the city guards. You go to check, it doesn't matter whose interests are touched, maintaining the stability of the capital is the first thing. "The city merchants, the carriage and horse shops, the dart bureau, and the weaving factory officials are even involved, I'm afraid..."

"Now that I have just ascended the throne, some people think that I am a bully and want to replace me, and they are extremely naïve. Some lords, who are obviously in fiefdoms, can still collude with these people in Gyeonggi, which is really bold and unforgivable. "I don't think we can be too hasty now, and we need to find out if there are other things hidden in the shadows by these people."

"Hurry up and replace the city defense army with our men, and since we have already caught the grass and the snake, we must quickly find out the source of these things and how they were transported to Gyeonggi. Whether it is luck, dart, and smuggling, we must understand it clearly. You're alone, I'm afraid you can't be busy, so I've got a helper for you. ”

The young man walked in from outside the hall, dressed in armor, and saluted Zhao Qian slowly: "Minister, Ren Liqiu, the captain of the Xiaocai Battalion, greets Your Majesty." Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. "You have been my personal guard since the first battle of Gyeonggi, and you have saved me from fire and water several times, and I am clear about your abilities. This time, I want you to assist Xu Yuan, the general of Zhenxi, in finding out the source of the nameless gunpowder smuggling in Gyeonggi, can you do it? "The minister will definitely assist General Xu to relieve His Majesty's worries." Zhao Qian nodded: "This matter is not trivial, you two take care of yourself, if anyone is involved, report it directly to me, and I will open the door for you." ”

The two went out and walked out of the palace together. Liqiu said: "Brother Yuan, where have you found it now?" Xu Yuan thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is still a small official in the prison of the Criminal Department, and no one has interrogated him yet, so why don't you go to interrogate." Liqiu nodded, didn't say a word, and walked out of the palace quickly.

Xu Yuan also had a few encounters with him before, a doll who loved to laugh and make trouble, and was the smallest figure in Zhaoqian's personal guards in the past, but now he has become tall and silent. Xu Yuan looked deeply at his back as he walked away, the prison of the Criminal Department is not a good place, good luck.

At the beginning of the world, Liqiu has always wanted to make some great contributions, so as to continue to rise to the top. This time, he also took the initiative to write a letter to ask Xu Yuan to investigate the case together, and he could see that these frictions were not simply moving to the wrong warehouse, but that there was some will of His Majesty the Emperor in it. Otherwise, if you protect your shortcomings like this, the officials would have fried the pot a long time ago.

Outside the yamen of the Criminal Department, Ren Liqiu was about to enter with two sergeants, but he was stopped by the janitor: "Wait, who are you?" "That's right, we are from the cavalry battalion, and we have come to the prison of the Criminal Department to interrogate prisoners at the behest of His Majesty." The uncle nodded: "Then can you wait a little, I will go to report to our master Sitang." Liqiu nodded: "Yes." ”

As soon as the old man went, he didn't come out until noon, and he said with a look of embarrassment: "A few military masters, that's the case, let's have dinner in it now, it's too messy, our lords invite a few military masters to the hall to eat and then interrogate." Liqiu shook his head: "No need, a few of us can eat outside, and we'll come back after we eat later." ”

There is still time dragging there, and there is a chief in the prison who said that he would interrogate the little official. The sergeant in charge did not know what to do, so he handed over the prisoner to them, and after some severe torture, the little officer soon couldn't bear to tell the matter one by one, and the chief officer got the confession, and threw the half-dead little official back into the prison. The confession was also deleted and re-signed and re-signed, and it was presented to His Majesty in a way that was satisfactory to all parties.

In the afternoon, Ren Liqiu had no resistance to come to the Criminal Department after eating, he entered the prison of the Criminal Department smoothly, and saw the dying little official, the wound on his face that was deep in the bones had been inflamed. "What's the matter, why is this person beaten like this?" He questioned the guards of the guard.

The soldier didn't know this person either, and could only see that the uniform was that of a captain, so he could only lower his head and hold his breath: "We received a military order today saying that someone has come to interrogate this person, and someone has already come to interrogate him this morning." "Who will arraign?" "Chief of the Criminal Department." Liqiu gritted his teeth, "You take me there." ”

"This is the eldest son of General Fudong, what a talent, dignified." "I was ordered by the emperor to interrogate the prisoner, why was I interfered by the head of the Criminal Department?" "Is there such a thing?" The squire looked shocked, "Please come with me." He came to the yamen of the chief office, and asked in a loud voice, "Who of you went to interrogate General Xu's prisoner today?" ”

Everyone discussed, "My lord, who is General Xu's prisoner?" "It's the one with the scar on his face." "It's me." One of the chief priests stepped forward, "Why are you arraigning other prisoners?" Not doing what you do? "My lord, my subordinates didn't know that it was General Xu's prisoner, but because that person was somewhat similar to the newly caught gangster, they interrogated the wrong person."

"Then why did you beat him to the point where he was left with only one breath?" "My lord, according to the rules of our criminal department, if you come up, you have to kill Wei first, and after your subordinates finish killing Wei according to the rules, the thief will confess, there is no torture to extract a confession, and the interrogation records of your subordinates have been handed over."

Liqiu's face was extremely ugly, and he pointed at the master: "How dare you be so bold?" The chief officer looked at him and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The duty is just to judge the wrong person, and I ask the general to forgive me." Chen knew that he was wrong, and if he wanted to punish Chen, he would have nothing else to say. ”

That little official is half dead, and it is impossible for him to say anything useful, Liqiu knows that he has hit a soft nail here, and these officials are colluding with each other, and there is no point in staying here any longer. He snorted coldly and left here, and the people in the criminal department did not say a word, politely sent them away, looked at them with a tacit understanding, and then went about their own things.

Chai Zhaoqian's desk has two memorandas, one is that Ren Liqiu said that he was forcibly interrogated by these people when he went to the Criminal Department; One is that the squire of the criminal department said that he was aggressive, there was no distinction between superiors and subordinates, and he relied on his father to be powerful. The two sides continued to argue, and the confessions sent to them were not offended by either side, and the angry Zhaoqian couldn't eat two meals.

"I just said let him give you a hand, and you actually asked him to interrogate the prisoner? How could he? You see, when you go up, you are put on a table. "That little official is a small character in itself, and the people in the criminal department rely on themselves to be the head snake of the land, and they don't recognize anyone's account, let alone a minister, whoever goes is the same." "So how did you check?" "Slightly effective."
