Zhang Shuming, who was puzzled, was not deceived by Du's words, if he said that he still had the meaning of inviting merit before, then this time it was completely panicked. The capital is no better than other places, how can that group of martial arts practitioners who fight and kill break the law? He dragged his exhaustion back to the Criminal Department, picked up his pen and prepared to write an excerpt, but he stopped after only a few words. At this moment, his heart was full of irritability, and looking at the little ink on the fold, he actually gave birth to a wisp of resentment.

He impatiently put down the pen in his hand, got up and walked back and forth a few steps, although this disaster has not yet appeared, but he is not an ordinary character, he has already seen a hint of clues. Living on top of the temple, the slightest mistake will be a catastrophe, not to mention that the emperor does not seem to have forgotten that he was not back then. In this way, if he does not properly defend his innocence in this matter, then even if he can continue to be an official in the future, the saint who has been hard-won will be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind to enter the palace to face the saint, however, before he was about to give an order, he thought of Du Shi again. For this mother-in-law's methods, he had some understanding at the beginning, and knew that he must have arranged someone to monitor him, if he entered the palace so swaggeringly, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble. After thinking about it, he still decided to discuss the matter with Shang He Weitao of the Criminal Department. Although He Weitao did not show any news before, he still vaguely knew that he could be transferred to the Criminal Department, but it was the result of the vigorous promotion of this important minister.

Zhang Shuming randomly selected a few official documents on the desk, took care of his outfit a little, put on a relaxed expression and walked to the administrative office. Although it was only a tea field from the place where he was governor, he still met many officials and officials. Everyone was busy greeting him. After all, Zhang Shuming is moving up step by step, and he is a hot upstart. It is naturally easier to contaminate him than to confront those scheming veterans and ministers. Zhang Shuming also greeted everyone with a smiling face, looking approachable. Those who don't know think he's in a good mood right now.

There are not many people in He Weitao's administrative hall, and he is now clearly in charge of the shopkeeper, except for some major matters for him to decide, he has handed over the rest of the affairs to the two waiters to manage, so there are fewer officials who come and go. He saw Zhang Shuming coming over with a few official documents. couldn't help but show a strange look.

After entering the house, Zhang Shuming did not directly cover the door, but gave He Weitao a look and talked about some recent official affairs. As he spoke, he paid close attention to the people outside, until he found that there were no idle people waiting for the rear before he quickly told the reason for the first, of course, all the content about the Du clan was quietly hidden by him, but used other officials to refer to it. Still, there was an unusual hint of caution in his attitude.

He Weitao thought it was just an ordinary vendetta at first, so he only frowned slightly, and when he heard Zhang Shuming say that someone was picking it up behind his back before he got on the fold, he felt that something was wrong. It must be known that the capital has always been the most strictly guarded against weapons and other objects. If it weren't for the sons and daughters of Xungui, they were never allowed to walk on the street with swords, but listened to Zhang Shuming's relay. The children of those factions actually have all kinds of weapons, and things are not simple. The kings of Lingyun have always adopted a policy of suppression against these people who often violate the ban, so they have not formed any dominant local sect forces, and now these people have found revenge in the capital. Among them, the strange is big.

He Weitao pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered an old incident more than thirty years ago, and couldn't help but stand up. I saw him ask with a solemn face: "Master Zhang, then Chen Quan told you that what they want to hunt down is the remnants of Demon Spirit Mountain?" ”

Zhang Shuming nodded, "Chen Quan came back in a hurry to report because of this matter, I think things are probably not simple, so I came to you to get an idea, after all, I am really not familiar with these old things, and it will be bad if something goes wrong." ”

He Weitao let out a long sigh, as if he was thinking of something bad about the past. After a long time, he spoke: "Shuming, this time fortunately, you didn't act rashly, otherwise you would really invite a big disaster." He suddenly changed his name and called Zhang Shuming's name, "It is indeed recorded in the case file of the Criminal Department that the Demon Spirit Mountain Cult has harmed the people in the name of the gods and killed countless people, so it is being sent to the disciples to kill them after reporting to the official government. ”

"Yes, there is a river of blood on the Demon Spirit Mountain, and those so-called decent children have also suffered countless casualties, and finally eradicated the Demon Spirit Mountain. However, these are all things on the surface, but secretly doing things is that some famous and decent people are afraid of the martial arts of Demon Spirit Mountain, so they use their influence on the local government to eradicate dissidents. However, the imperial court has already suppressed sects with cult connotations very tightly, so they have not investigated it deeply, otherwise, these famous and decent sects will not want to live! After that, He Weitao snorted coldly.

Zhang Shuming was confused when he heard this, he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, and his face became extremely ugly. He Weitao turned his head and saw that the other party was just sitting there in a daze, and couldn't help but suggest: "This matter is not trivial, Shuming, if you and I go to face the saint together, we can make things clear." You must know that your previous fold was too reckless, and it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not blame him in the future. ”

Zhang Shuming nodded, however, before entering the palace, he still had to do some other cover-ups. After he made an appointment with He Weitao, he went out to call Chen Quan and whispered a few words to him. This person was single-handedly brought up by him, and he was first-class in terms of loyalty and means, so he was not at fault. Chen Quan is also a smart person, and after understanding it, he went down to arrange. After a while, many of the officers of the General Arrest Department of the Criminal Department quickly got the news that the few people who escaped last time were all important criminals with human lives on their backs, and they must be strictly arrested.

The two people who entered the palace together were in a very different mood, waiting outside the Qinzheng Hall to be summoned, He Weitao was thinking about how the imperial court would knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and warn these self-righteous people in the rivers and lakes:

But Zhang Shuming is thinking about how to face the saint alone and clear up his own involvement, after all, he is no longer the young man who just came out of office, although the support of the Tang family is important, but it must not hinder his future.

Xiao Fangzi, who came out to announce the two of them entering the hall, was puzzled in his heart, when Shi Zong came to report before, he had already noticed the heavy haze on the emperor's face, but when he heard that He Zhang and the two came to see him together, the emperor's mood seemed to be slightly better. He shook his head and drove these thoughts out of his mind, these things had their own plans from outsiders, and he didn't need to worry about them. All he has to do is take care of the emperor's diet and daily life, as long as there is no such thing as a nightmare in the first place.

After He Zhang and the two kowtowed, Feng Wuxian ordered the two to sit down separately. Since He Weitao was the chief officer of the Criminal Department, he reported the incident. Although He Weitao had already put a little effort into it, in Feng Wuji's ears, these words were just perfunctory, so his face couldn't help but be gloomy.

Zhang Shuming on the side was keenly aware of this, and secretly thought that he must explain the relationship separately. Before entering the palace, Chen Quan had reported that according to his secret investigation, those people in the rivers and lakes were quite cautious when they first entered Beijing, visited the powerful everywhere, and even went to Shuntianfu to post posts, and they seemed to have hit a wall, and they were not a little indulgent until the encirclement and suppression of the man and woman this time, and finally used weapons. These facts all show that they have found someone who can support them, but who in the capital dares to risk the world's condemnation to hand over the martial arts? Thinking about it, Zhang Shuming couldn't help but shudder, Du Shi's strange attitude combined with his previous words and deeds made him think of a very terrible answer, so fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

After He Weitao finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Shuming and added, but Zhang Shuming, who was very good at observing words and emotions on weekdays, seemed to suddenly become wooden, just sitting there in a daze, his expression changing. He Weitao had no choice but to continue to justify himself, racking his brains to let the emperor understand what was involved. Unexpectedly, Feng Wuxian was already dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't answer the phone at all, which made He Weitao anxious. However, just when the atmosphere was a little stiff, Zhang Shuming suddenly stood up, and then bowed to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being rude, Weichen has something important to report alone, and I hope the emperor will complete it." ”

His sudden move made Feng Wuxian and He Weitao stunned at the same time, He Weitao thought that Zhang Shuming seemed to have other things to hide from him, so he was tired in his heart, but Feng Wuxian thought of the twist and turn, and couldn't help but understand. Feng Wuxian on the throne glanced at He Weitao, and then commanded in a deep voice: "He Aiqing, you sit here for a while, Zhang Shuming, you come to the apse with me!" ”

Zhang Shuming was planning to ask the emperor to keep He Weitao, but he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly kowtowed, and then followed the emperor into the inner hall. He Weitao felt even more strange, but he couldn't object, so he could only secretly wonder what Zhang Shuming was selling. However, this is all a shadowless thing, Rao is his conceited wisdom on weekdays, and he can't think of anything famous at this time.

As soon as he entered the empty inner hall, Feng Wuxian lost his earlier expression, his face turned pale, he snorted coldly, picked up Zhang Shuming's fold on the desk and threw it on the ground, and asked mockingly: "Uncle Zhang, I guess you also want to explain, what is going on with this fold?" ”

Zhang Shuming bent down to pick up the fold, and saw that there were nail marks everywhere, and his heart suddenly realized. He hurriedly knelt down on his knees, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Weichen's excerpt is indeed reckless, he neither understands the reason, nor does he send someone to investigate, and the meaning of the invitation is self-evident. Seeing that Feng Wuxian showed a slightly inquiring look, he knew that his words were valid, so he simply confessed again, "Weichen is new to the Criminal Department, and he always wants to make some achievements, so he was picked up by someone for this twist, who would have thought that the internal situation would be so complicated."
