After a while, Du Heng was led into the courtyard of the Li family.

"Du Heng, the governor of Xiaguanfang Prefecture, meet King Zheng! Meet the two Zhao Xianggong! Du Heng bowed.

In the Song Dynasty, high-ranking officials such as the envoy and the prime minister were called "Xianggong," and the Zhao brothers all added the false title of Tongping Zhangshi, and it was not an exaggeration to call them "Xianggong".

"Master Du doesn't have to be so polite. You and I are both prefects, and we are both officials in the same dynasty, Zhao can't afford it! ”

Zhao Guangyi returned to his original harmless smile, and said with a smile while reaching out to help Du Heng, but Zhao Guangmei just "hummed" and watched coldly.

Du Henglian said, "I can afford it, I can afford it", but his waist bent lower. Just kidding, let's not talk about the identity of the emperor's brother, I can't catch up with the horse, although I didn't become a king, but it was a matter of time. Let's just say that he is the same prefect, he Du Heng is a Zhizhou in a remote mountainous area, but he is the governor of Kaifeng Mansion in the capital, just like the mayor of an ordinary prefecture-level city in later generations, and the other party is the mayor of the capital and a member of the Standing Committee of the State, which is not comparable at all.

"Is King Zheng okay?" Du Heng pretended not to see Zhao Guangmei's cold expression, and turned to Chai Zongxun and asked suspiciously.

"This king is fine, Lord Laudhu is bothered!" Although he was also annoyed that the security in Fangzhou City under Du Heng's rule was so poor, Chai Zongxun didn't plan to tear his face with him, after all, people also worked, and it was no wonder that something happened suddenly.

"Lord Du is here fast enough! Just in time to clean up the stall! Dang Jin said in a weird manner.

Because of the events in the afternoon, since Du Heng appeared, Dang Jin didn't give him a good face, he already hated this sanctimonious hypocrite from the bottom of his heart, and blamed Du Wencai's bad things on his head. Just like Brother Chun said, "Every time you slaughter more dogs, you are more likely to be scholars", and the party deeply believes it.

Pan Mei frowned and kicked Dang Jin from behind. Dang Jin turned his head angrily and was about to denounce Pan Mei, but he saw Pan Mei glaring at him, and the tacit understanding of his old friends for many years made him hold his words into his stomach and stop talking.

Du Heng didn't expect that he had been put into the blacklist of hypocrites by Dang Jin, and when he heard Dang Jin say this, Rao is an old fritter who has been up and down in officialdom for more than ten years, and he couldn't help but blush. This point just appeared, which is indeed a bit unreasonable. Even the Xiang troops stationed far outside the city arrived before the people from the Zhizhou Yamen, and outsiders can imagine how inefficient the people of the Yamen are in ordinary times.

"Lord Du, the law and order in Fangzhou City is so chaotic, thieves dare to commit murder in the street! Or assassinate a prince and two handsome! Looking at the world, this is also a big deal, if you don't give an explanation, after I return to Beijing, I will ask for justice from the royal brother for King Zheng and them! Zhao Guangmei said to Du Heng with a smile.

"This and this, this ......" Du Heng's forehead has begun to sweat, it is really unfavorable for the new year, do you have to find a fortune teller to see the fortune in two days.

"Okay, okay, don't be embarrassed by Lord Du!"

Zhao Guangyi relieved Du Heng and said: "Things are not under the control of Lord Du. Since everyone is fine, it is not a big deal. It's not easy to be an official, and no one would have expected this kind of thing to happen! Since Lord Du had tried his best to arrive afterwards, it means that Lord Du is still very concerned about this matter. The aftermath is up to Lord Laudu, and we are passing by as guests, and it is inconvenient to meddle! The reason for this, Lord Du himself will talk to the official family about it. When I return to Beijing, I will also mention this matter to the official family. ”

This is a hint to Du Heng, if you are interested, you can explain things clearly to the top yourself, I don't embarrass you, you have to carry the pot that should be carried, don't think about playing tricks and leaving the responsibility, because I already know about this, you can't fake it.

"The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand!" Seeing that Zhao Guangyi gave him the stairs, Du Heng hurriedly agreed, but sighed in his heart, so many people have died, and this year's political achievements seem to have been wasted again.

There were so many people at the scene, respecting Zhao Guangyi, and when everyone saw Zhao Guangyi say this, they didn't say anything more.

"Lord Qiyu, I have asked for a confession from the Assassin Yu Dang!" At this embarrassing moment, the general of the forbidden army who had just run to ask for a confession came back to report.

"Oh? Dare to ask this general, the assassin still has a mouthful? Du Heng asked loudly, he couldn't help but be excited, it would be easy to do it if he had a living mouth, at least there were clues to have a chance to find his comrades.

The general secretly glanced at Zhao Guangyi and did not directly answer Du Heng's question.

"This is Lord Du, the governor of Fangzhou, you can leave the rest to the people under Lord Du, and you can answer any questions Lord Du has!" Zhao Guangyi pinched his chin and said to the general.

"Back to Lord Du, after the assassin Yu Dang asked for a confession, they all died of their injuries!" The general only replied after getting Zhao Guangyi's permission.

Hearing this, the flame of hope that Du Heng had just ignited was extinguished at once.

"What about the confession? Do you know whom they are directed? Du Heng asked unrelentingly.

"The confession is there!" The general relayed the confession he had received from the Assassin.

It turned out that this group of people were all Jianghu rangers, hired by others, and the employer took the lead in preparing to assassinate Chai Zongxun tonight, leaving no room for survival, and did not hesitate to use nearly 100 elite experts for this purpose, just to kill with one blow. Originally, they were ambushed near the Hongbin Tower in the city, because they got the news that King Zheng Chai Zongxun would hold a banquet in the Hongbin Tower tonight to entertain distinguished guests. Unexpectedly, Li Junwen was killed halfway, which changed Chai Zongxun's itinerary. When they learned the news, it was already evening, and they were not sure if Chai Zongxun would reappear in Hongbin Tower, so they divided half of the manpower, and the rest rushed to Li's house in a hurry. As soon as he arrived at the ambush near Li's house, he found that Chai Zongxun and the others had already gone out to say goodbye, so they had to make a hasty move, so that the crossbow arrows that must be hit missed at such a close distance. had no choice but to show up in hand-to-hand combat, and it was about to be done, who expected that people were not as good as heaven, but they were killed by the Zhao Guangyi brothers who passed by, and their success was lost. Most of them did not know in advance that the person to be killed was King Zheng, and only later did the army come to know that the person to be killed was an official person.

It is common for these people in the rivers and lakes to fight and kill people, but killing officials is tantamount to rebellion, but they will punish the nine clans. Although they occasionally robbed the rich and helped the poor, and some people also secretly killed a corrupt official, it was the first time that such a blatant assassination of the court officials on the street was the first time, and some of them couldn't help but waver, which also led to the later collapse. As for who instructed them, these assassins were all paid to do things, not the backbone, and the assassins who arranged the operation for the leader were either dead or escaped, they really didn't know anything, and they used lynching in the army, and they still couldn't reveal anything more valuable.

"Lord Du, the top priority is to impose martial law throughout the city and search for the escaped assassins and their accomplices, so that the assassins do not escape or commit murder again!" After listening to the confession, Zhao Guangyi said to Du Heng.
