Zhao Quan sat in the middle of the hall of the Imperial Horse Division with a cold face.

At this time, a row of files was densely piled on top of the big case in front of him.

That is the result of all the investigations of the imperial horse supervisor on the assassination of the third prince in the past few days, and Zhao Quan will take them back to the palace tomorrow to report on his work.

Just looking at Zhao Quan's expression at this moment, it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the results of this investigation, so after patiently reading these files, he set his eyes on the two middle-aged eunuchs under the hall.

The two eunuchs sitting under Zhao Quan were the two deputy admirals of the Imperial Horse Division, and at this moment they were looking at their noses and noses, and their expressions were quite calmly holding the tea cup and tasting tea, as if they had not noticed Zhao Quan's hot eyes that were about to erupt fire.

However, with the crisp sound of the tea lid hitting the teacup in a row, it suddenly sounded above the silent hall, and the true state of the two deputy admirals at this moment was completely revealed, and it was obvious that the two old rivers and lakes were already panicked in their hearts at this time, so that even the hands holding the tea began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Admiral" is the abbreviation of the head of the Imperial Horse Division, and the full name is "the Imperial Horse Division Eunuch of the Imperial Horse Division", and this position is generally held by the eunuch who is second only to the chief of ceremonies.

And the deputy admiral, is the highest status in the Imperial Horse Division except for the Admiral, can sit in this position, itself is already the title of the fifth grade, but due to the special nature of the Imperial Horse Division, they often have to see the official level, even if they meet those high-ranking feudal officials, they will never have the slightest stage fright.

It stands to reason that the Imperial Horse Division has always been their home field, even if the young eunuch after the big case is a celebrant eunuch, but he is still just a seven-rank eunuch, so they will not be so silent.

However, Zhao Quan's identity at this time was not only the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, but also the messenger of "handling cases by order", and these four big characters also represent a series of derivative meanings, such as "such as "I am here" and "imperial privilege".

In this way, they can't help but feel intimidated.

After a long silence, Zhao Quan calmed down slightly, and saw him take the lead in asking:

"Have you two read these files before?"

One of the deputy admirals at the head slowly put down the teacup and replied:

"Back to Zhao's father-in-law's words, I've read it."

Zhao Quan sneered and said:

"Now that you've seen it, you must already know the contents. In this way, let's talk about where the confessions in these case files come from, which can be regarded as helping me sort out the current situation. ”

Hearing Zhao Quan's words, the two people in the hall were stunned, the origin of these files was presented from the beginning, they had already said it clearly, why did Zhao Quan ask so knowingly at this moment? Could it be that this little Zhao Gonggong is tricking them?

These two people have lived in officialdom for a long time, and they know the truth that more is wrong and less wrong, so they have a tacit understanding and do not answer.

Zhao Quan saw through their minds at a glance, where would they be allowed to pretend to be stupid all the time, he pressed step by step:

"Why don't you two speak? Huang Gonggong, you are the chief and the most senior, why don't you answer first. ”

Huang Gonggong saw that Lord Qincha had named his name, and if he pretended to be deaf and dumb again, he would find death, so he replied stubbornly:

"Yes..... A few days ago, we got a tip-off, found out a few strongholds where the remnants of the previous dynasty were hiding, at first our people arrived, these strongholds have been destroyed first, and all the relevant criminals were wiped out by them, but fortunately, a stronghold was found later, and finally a few people were arrested, and the case file that Zhao Gonggong saw was exactly what these people confessed. ”

Zhao Quan nodded with satisfaction, and continued to ask:

"Then according to their confessions, how did these remnants of the chaotic party know the whereabouts of the Third Highness before? Father-in-law Liu, you can answer this time. ”

Gonggong Liu, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, finally couldn't sit still, he had already vaguely sniffed out Zhao Quan's intentions, he understood that Zhao Quan's words were like digging a fire pit, and he was naming him to jump into it at this moment.

But the matter has come to this, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he has to jump, so he tried his words as much as possible, and hesitated:

"Uh...... Back to Zhao's father-in-law's words, according to what those remnants said, they are...... Forehead...... Someone deliberately leaked the itinerary of the Third Highness to them. ”

Zhao Quan raised his eyebrows and continued to ask:

"Who is this man? I remember that it seemed to be clearly written in the confession, what? Father-in-law Liu doesn't remember? ”

Gonggong Liu wailed in his heart, he thought that he could be vague in the past, how could he know that Zhao Quan would be so desperate.

However, he still seemed to have a fluke mentality, so he said with a sense of proportion:

"Yes...... This person is, Wang Hu. ”

Zhao Quan saw that Gonggong Liu was so snake and rat, he sneered, and asked further:

"Oh, who is this Wang Hu?"

This time, Father-in-law Liu was completely out of line, so he had to say truthfully:

"Yes, yes...... It is the guard of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

"Hehe, that is to say, if according to this confession, the Second Highness is also involved in the assassination of the Third Highness by the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

As soon as these words came out, the two deputy admirals instantly stood up from their seats as if they were facing a great enemy, shook their heads again and again and explained:

"No, no, Zhao, the confession is just one side, we haven't found other evidence yet!"

Zhao Quan suddenly became furious when he heard this, and his long sleeves shook hard, sweeping the file in front of him to the ground.

He got up angrily, quickly walked out from behind the big case, picked up a bundle of files on the ground, pointed it at the tip of Gonggong Liu's nose, and scolded viciously word by word:

"It's just a one-sided statement, and you still dare to write it into the dossier?! Do you know what you're doing? Yes?! You are alluding to the rebellion of His Royal Highness! I will return to the palace tomorrow to report on my work, and this dossier will reach the heavens in less than an hour or three! At that time, Your Majesty will know how your Imperial Horse Division handled the case! Of course, my Qincha wants to fall to the ground, but none of you can escape! How many heads do you all have in touch with each other, is it enough to cut off?! ”

The two were reprimanded by Zhao Quan, and their faces turned pale in an instant, and their bodies were covered in cold sweat.

Seeing this situation, Gonggong Huang, who was the leader, hurriedly stood up and explained to Zhao Quan in a trembling voice:

"This, this, we haven't thought about this, but the law of the Great Wei Dynasty contains a clear text, and the testimony of the relevant criminals must be signed and recorded in the case without moving, if it is changed, it is a felony of bullying the king!"

Zhao Quan snorted coldly and asked rhetorically:

"Did I let you change it? If you have the ability to judge this kind of confession, you have already pinned your head to the waistband of your trousers, so what difference does it make if you change it or not? ”

Zhao Quan's words suddenly made the two fathers-in-law desperate, they didn't expect that the small calculations they had made in their hearts were all resolved by Zhao Quan in a few words.

In fact, these two people were not unaware of the consequences of this dossier before, on the contrary, they knew very well that getting involved in the royal family secret would not end well, but they still did it without hesitation.

It's not because they're stupid, after all, people who can do it in this position can't be stupid.

The reason why they committed so knowingly was only because they knew that they were not the chief judge of this case, to put it bluntly, if His Majesty really blamed him in the future, and there was Zhao Quan in front of them, they were just acting on orders, and in the end they would admit the crime of dereliction of duty.

But once they deliberately concealed this confession because of the involvement of His Royal Highness in this case, as long as the East Window incident happened in the future, it would really be a dead end, and the immortals would be difficult to save.

Therefore, they originally wanted to pretend to be stupid and throw this cauldron on Zhao Quan first, but who would have thought that Zhao Quan would throw this pot back in front of them at this time!

When Zhao Quan said, every word seemed to be saying: "This case was tried by you, and it has nothing to do with me, Zhao Quan." ”

The two fathers-in-law originally thought that this Zhao Quan was young and vigorous, pampered and arrogant, and he didn't know anything about being an official.

Who knew that he was so scheming, he was even more shrewd than these old foxes who had been in the officialdom for many years.

Now these two people are really riding the tiger, so they hurriedly fell to their knees and begged:

"Ask Gonggong Zhao to try to redeem one or two, and help us say a few kind words before Gonggong Cao!"

Zhao Quan's anger seemed to have been reduced by half at this time, he glanced at the two people who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy with pity, and said with a long sigh:

"Hey~~~~ The matter has come to this, the two fathers-in-law don't have to panic too much, please get up quickly, kneel down again, I'm going to lose my life, I Zhao Quan still owes self-care qualifications, although I was lucky to be favored by the saint and got an errand to handle the case, but I am still the younger generation of the two. In this way, I really can't think of a good way to remedy it for a while, so I have to tell my godfather the truth about this matter after returning to the palace, I believe that with his old man at the helm, our big ship of the Royal Horse Division will not be able to capsize for a while, but this matter is still tricky after all, and the two of them will have to do it themselves in the future. ”

Zhao Quan's last words of "good for yourself" were deliberately said word by word, which was extremely clear. How could the two deputy admirals not understand his intentions, so they were grateful, and said loudly:

"Yes, yes, the two of us will never forget the kindness of Zhao's father-in-law, if my father-in-law is sent in the future, we will definitely obey everything."

Zhao Quan waved his hand and laughed:

"Hahaha, the two fathers-in-law are serious, the words are serious, Zhao Quan will have to learn more from the two seniors in the future!"

As a result, this originally tense and intense conversation finally came to an end in a harmonious and cheerful atmosphere......

———————————————————————————————————————

The carriage in which Zhao Quan was riding was speeding on the spacious official road.

Along the way, he lifted the curtain from time to time, as if to make sure that he was on the right path.

After a few moments, he noticed a fork in the road looming in front of the carriage.

Zhao Quan has been handling cases in the Imperial Horse Division these days, and he is already very familiar with the streets of Anyi City.

Therefore, he knew very well at the moment where the forked roads in front of him were leading.

One of them led to the destination of his trip, the Imperial City.

The other leads to the residence of the second prince.

Zhao Quan sat back in the carriage, and his thoughts were racing.

He has to make a decision as soon as possible whether to go left or right in the future.

"Stop!"

When the carriage was about to turn to the imperial city, Zhao Quan shouted for no reason.

The coachman quickly stopped the carriage, then looked back into the carriage in confusion, and asked:

"Master, what's wrong?"

After a long time, just as the driver wanted to lift the curtain to find out, an answer finally came from inside the carriage:

"It's okay, let's keep going."

Zhao Quan's voice was full of exhaustion, and it was obvious that he had already made a choice.

Unbeknownst to him, it was this almost instinctive choice that saved his life......
