Tingweifu is the official system inherited from the Qin Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, and the criminal law of the world. The position of Tingwei, in the court, is second only to the position of the Three Dukes, ranking first among the Nine Qings, which shows his importance to the emperor.

Since the establishment of the Han Imperial Governor's Mansion, the successive imperial captains have not been simple figures. Ruthless and resolute, cruel and violent, this is their label.

Most people in the government and the opposition do not have a good impression of them. However, out of the need to consolidate the rule, the royal family relied heavily on it.

Of course, if you do too many evil things, most of them will not end well. The Tingwei Mansion, although it is authoritarian, in many cases, will become a victim of court struggles, or a scapegoat for the imperial power transaction. But even so, there are still many ambitious people, with the help of their own skills, to do a good job.

Du Zhou is an ambitious guy. His goal, of course, is to hope that one day he will be like his mentor Zhang Tang, sit on the throne of the third prince of the imperial court and become the emperor's important minister.

Recently, he has repeatedly handled major cases, and pulled down three or four princes and kings in a row, which has won the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is the time when the limelight is in full swing. Ordinary court officials don't pay attention to him at all.

When Du Zhou was still following Zhang Tang, he once heard him say that there were a few guys in the court who were the most difficult to deal with, and he tried his best to deal with them. Among them are Dou Ying, Ji Di, and Zheng Shishi. And when Zhang Tang left office, another one was added to the list left for him, that is, Changle Hou Yuanzhao.

Du Zhou once carefully analyzed these people, Dou Ying has retired, Ji Di is stubborn but old and sick, Zheng was a little sleek but knew how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they were not worried.

Only Yuan Zhao, whether it is Zhang Tang or Du Zhou, can't figure out his details, and it is difficult to find a good way to deal with him. Since Zhang Tang suffered two big losses in his hands, he no longer dared to easily seize his edge.

When Zhang Tang left the Tingwei Mansion, he left all the information about Yuan Zhao that he had secretly collected to Du Zhou. and told him that without conclusive evidence, he was completely sure that he should not provoke this person easily.

Since Du Zhou took office in the Tingwei Mansion, he has not dealt with Yuan Zhao once. But I didn't expect to meet on this narrow road today, and I met suddenly.

For almost a quarter of an hour, no one spoke. Seeing that Changshi was dead, the subordinates of the Tingwei Mansion had long been prepared for the wrath of Lord Tingwei. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and I didn't feel a little strange.

"My lord! The murderer is so ruthless, please give an order, and his subordinates will swear to avenge Changshi! ”

A few entourages were eager to try on the side, although the young man who killed the other party seemed to have some ability, but there were nearly two hundred people from the Tingwei Mansion today, even if he was powerful, what could he do? What's more, except for this person, the rest of the other party are old and young, women and children, but they don't know what Lord Tingwei's face is solemn and he doesn't give the order to act for.

"You ...... Do you know who the boy upstairs is? ”

Hearing that his lord's tone was a little abnormal, the subordinates of the Tingwei Mansion all felt a little strange. It doesn't matter who he is! Even if it is a prince and a king, isn't the crime of killing an official of the court a good excuse to fabricate a big case?

"My lord, when do you need to care about the identity of the other party when the Tingwei Mansion is handling the case......?"

As if seeing the disapproval of his subordinates, Du Zhou's face was gloomy, his voice was empty, and he couldn't hear what emotion it was.

"Don't any of you know him? Yuan Zhao, Changle Hou, Shang Shuling, hehe, this is the person. ”

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, there is nothing wrong with this sentence. There may be people who have not seen Yuan Zhao, but there is no one who has not heard of his reputation. There was a thunderbolt in their hearts, and everyone was taken aback, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"No wonder...... It turned out that this ordinary-looking teenager turned out to be the one who shocked the world. ”

"Yuanhou, this official led the people of the Tingwei Mansion to handle the case here, but I don't know why you instructed your subordinates to kill my long history! I'm afraid you have to give an explanation for today's events, right? ”

Du Zhou raised his voice, very majestic and powerful. It is not often that he is so reasonable, and it is usually others who reason with him.

At that time, Yuan Zhao was in the inner room, and after Zhuo Wenjun went out, Mingzhu'er crawled around on him, but he couldn't stop being naughty. Yuan Zhao listened to his babbling words, although he couldn't hear what he was saying, this childish and cute, but it was very happy.

Yuan Zhao carefully held him in his arms, carefully picked a little tender fish, and put it in his mouth, he ate it with relish, and after eating, he opened his small mouth and asked for it. Yuan Zhao impatiently picked it up for him little by little.

Liu Shu watched from the side, but her eyes were a little dazed, and some inexplicable expressions were hidden in them. She wanted to reach out and hug her several times to tease Mingzhu'er, but she couldn't help it.

"If one day, you ...... Would you be so kind to your own children? ”

I heard a faint whisper in my ear, as if I was talking to myself, and it seemed to be asking him. Yuan Zhao was slightly stunned, a little surprised, and a little funny, so he replied casually.

"Children are always likable. As for me...... Hehe! You ask me this question now, how do I know? It's all very far away. ”

The beautiful woman's pink neck was lowered, and the green silk was like a daise, covering half of her face, and she couldn't see what expression on her face was, but she was silent and didn't ask any more questions. Although Yuan Zhao felt a little strange, he didn't pay attention to it. While coaxing Mingzhu'er, he beckoned the main father Yan and Wu to drink a few more glasses.

Yuan Zhao just put the empty wine glass on the table, Wu was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a noise outside, this time the movement was a little loud, and then there were some shouting sounds, vaguely mixed with the sound of "Tingwei Mansion" and the like.

Yuan Zhao stood up and gestured slightly, let them sit down and go out to have a look by themselves. Liu Shu followed him out without saying a word, and the master father Yan and Wu Shu naturally would not stay. At a glance from the railing at the end of the corridor, I was encountering the arrogant confrontation with Cui Hong, the governor of the Imperial Palace.

Yuan Zhao has never had a good impression of these cool officials, since he wants to die, it is not easy, he is satisfied! Not a good guy anyway. As a result, Wang Wenshu died. The famous sword in Cui Hong's hand, killing him is no different from killing a chicken.

"Oh, it's Tingwei. Hehe, you don't say I really don't recognize it. Tell me about you, it's not good to stay in the Chang'an Tingwei Mansion, leading such a large group of people, running to such a far place, and dressing up like this one by one. I don't know, I thought it was a group of bandits who came down the mountain to rob! If you encounter a warrior with strong martial arts, wouldn't your Tingwei's head be in danger? No, that benevolent brother just now was killed by mistake by this Cui Daxia, it's a pity. ”

With a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, Yuan Zhao said such a serious thing, attributing the death of the dignified court governor Shi to accidental killing. Moreover, there is something to say about the irony that the Tingwei Mansion does not follow the rules in handling the case, and he deserves to die.

It's just staring and talking nonsense, obviously bullying people, isn't it! Du Zhou's face was flushed, his hands and feet trembled, and he almost burst his stomach.

"You, you! Yuanhou, you and I are ministers in the same palace, in front of everyone's eyes, how can you be so reversible and forceful! Obviously, you deliberately instructed your subordinates to kill me for a long time, and you also framed us for some kind of bandits, this, this is really ridiculous, how can this be reasonable! ”

Not only him, but even the people of Tingwei's Mansion and those honest drinkers next to them also stared at the boss, although the perception in their hearts was different, but there was one thing that the cognition was the same, that is, this famous little marquis was really too strong!

Liu Shu, who was close at hand, stole a glance at Yuan Zhao's side face, and his eyes were a little confused. Through several contacts, she gradually discovered a pattern, when speaking to a hostile person, the more he dislikes the person, the more he brings a mocking smile, revealing a contempt and disdain.

Thinking about him before the Huns and the ten thousand armies, he slashed King Zuoxian, what kind of heroic posture should he be? At that time, it should have been a light smile like a cloud of smoke, swinging a knife and thundering! Such a hero is unmatched by men in the world.

Whenever she thought of this, the arrogant county lord of Huainan had a fever in her cheeks, and her heart was beating wildly, and she felt that she could no longer extricate herself, and she was deeply caught in some kind of fatal temptation.

"Then what are you two hundred people doing here? Could it be that you are here to drink? Hehe! Lord Tingwei is at ease. ”

Yuan Zhao continued to say nonchalantly. In fact, he was also a little strange in his heart, and he didn't understand why Du Zhou appeared here in such a big way.

Du Zhou craned his neck and gasped for a while, forcing himself to calm down his anger. Yuan Zhao's condescending and rude speech made him feel aggrieved and going crazy.

"Marquis Yuan, Tingweifu received a report that an envoy sent by the princes and kings secretly infiltrated Chang'an with bad intentions. The duty of the Tingwei Mansion is here, so I came to arrest him and bring him back for interrogation. I don't want to meet the Marquis of Yuan here, and you don't ask the reason, you will kill my Changshi first, this matter, this official will never stop there, and after returning to Chang'an, he will definitely go to His Majesty the Emperor to seek justice. Hum! ”

When Yuan Zhao heard this, his heart moved, it turned out that this guy was coming for Wu Shu and Liu Shu. He didn't have to think about it to know that this guy wanted to make a great contribution and wanted to go crazy, as long as he brought people back to the Lower Court Lieutenant Prison, he could concoct a big case.

Wu was already taken aback, and he had already heard about what happened to those princes some time ago, and he had already heard about it in Huainan. The means of the Tingwei Mansion, if you want to achieve a certain goal, can only be unthinkably cruel. This time he came just on the orders of the prince to discuss something with Yuan Zhao, which was originally a normal thing. But if it falls into the Tingwei Mansion, it is impossible to predict what kind of catastrophe it will develop.

"Lord Tingwei, I don't think you have figured out one thing yet, have you? This restaurant, no one in the world dares to spread wild here. The distinguished guests of my Yuanzhao banquet have no one in this world to touch! ”

The voice is flat, but it is overbearing and rude to the extreme!
