Yan Ling's lewd smile was shocked by Zhao Hongxing's obscene smile, and he got goosebumps.

"What, what do you mean, Your Highness?" Yan Lingchen asked with a silent shake of his arm.

"Come with me, you'll know. Zhao Hongxing continued to pretend to smile deeply, and walked in front with Le Aya to lead the way.

Because he had to take care of Le Aya's injuries, Zhao Hongxing didn't walk fast, and Le Aya was also happy to be mixed with Zhao Hongxing like this, so he kept walking at the same speed as him. Yan Lingzhi followed behind Zhao Hongxing slowly, although he was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to urge.

Fortunately, the cloth shop was not far from here, and it didn't take much effort for Zhao Hongxing to take Yan Ling's envoy to the place with Le Aya.

Before he could enter the house, he heard a wail from inside.

"You killed me!"

"Kill me!!"

"Why don't you kill me!!"

"I beg you to kill me!!!"

The screaming sound became worse than the other, and Zhao Hongxing knew when he heard this that this was the voice of the Moxican.

What's the situation? Did the old man abuse the "captive"? Zhao Hongxing thought so, and immediately hurried two steps after stabilizing Le Aya.

As soon as I entered the courtyard of the cloth shop, I found that the old gentleman was leaning on the threshold helplessly, looking at Moxigan, who was tied up and thrown in the middle of the yard, shrunk into a ball, and wailed while rolling.

"What's going on here?" Zhao Hongxing, who saw the strange picture, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked the old man. No one touched him, why did this guy scream so badly.

"Your Highness, I don't know. That's it for this guy since just now. The old gentleman was also confused, originally after this Moxican was tied, he grabbed the ground with his head and didn't say a word, but just now he suddenly began to call.

As he spoke, Hongyi also returned—he had been carried back by the soldiers of the patrol battalion with a door panel.

"Childe, I'm back......" After the soldiers of the patrol battalion put Hongyi down, they saluted and left, and Hongyi, who was lying on the door panel, greeted Zhao Hongxing weakly.

Old Mr. Cang looked at Hongyi, who was struggling to lift his eyelids on the door panel, and then looked at the white cloth oozing blood on Le Aya's shoulder, and then glared at Zhao Hongxing fiercely.

Le Aya saw that because of his injury, the old man seemed to be looking for trouble with Zhao Hongxing, and hurriedly said: "Teacher, I'm fine, it's all minor injuries." ”

The old gentleman glanced at Le Aya helplessly, and said in his heart, "I can't see if you are a small injury?" But everyone rushed to help Zhao Hongxing exonerate, and the old man didn't settle accounts with him for the time being.

It's the same when the time comes, go directly to his father, but you can't let Aya'er get hurt once. That's what Mr. Cang thought in his heart.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......" Zhao Hongxing saw that there was something unkind in the old man's eyes, but after all, he was at a loss, so he could only pretend not to see it.

After speaking, Zhao Hongxing and Le Aya came to the wooden bench by the courtyard wall to make it, and then planned to go over to check on Mo Xigan who was still wailing loudly.

"Your Highness, don't come here to see it. Yan Ling, who was checking in front of Mo Xigan, suddenly raised his head and said to Zhao Hongxing with a somewhat ugly face.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Zhao Hongxing saw that Yan Ling's face was wrong, and quickly stopped.

What's the matter? Yan Ling said in his heart, this guy's current appearance, if he let this sixth prince take a look, it is estimated that he will have a nightmare today.

This Mohican now looks like a dehydrated corpse.

The skin on his face was completely dried, his lips were twitching and his eyelids were twitching enough to cover his eyes.

However, it was useless for Moxican's eyes to have these eyelids now, because both of his eyes had lost their moisture and were dry like two raisins.

"Kill, kill, kill me!" From this guy's increasingly hoarse voice, Yan Lingling could judge that this dehydration situation was playing a role from the outside in, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before this guy would turn into a dried corpse alive.

Listening to Moxigan's wail for death, some creepy feelings surged into Yan Ling's heart, and he raised his hand violently, luckily, and then slapped Moxigan's head with a palm.

"Bang!" After a muffled sound, Moxican fell to the ground, completely silent.

There's no point in capturing this guy alive, so let's just help him get free.

"Hey, Yan Ling, you are ......" Seeing that Yan Lingenvoy killed the last "captured" member of the Jishi Association, Zhao Hongxing was stunned.

"Your Highness, this person doesn't have long to live, and because the process of death will be very painful, so the lower official will give him a ride. Yan Ling's envoy clasped his fist at Zhao Hongxing and explained.

Whether the Criminal Department can catch a live mouth, and what do you want to do if you catch a live mouth, Zhao Hongxing doesn't know this. Besides, he didn't want to care about that.

After several waiters from the Criminal Department came to preside over the scene, Zhao Hongxing hurriedly asked the people from the patrol camp to prepare a carriage for him, and pulled Le Aya and Hongyi back to the palace.

This trip out of the door is nine deaths. On the way back to the palace, Zhao Hongxing sighed.

————————————

In the afternoon of the same day, in the imperial study of Miyagi.

Cai Shi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the three attendants of the Criminal Department, as well as the five envoys including Yan Ling, plus the boss of Wenfanglou and the fourth prince Zhao Hongwei, now stood in front of Zhao Zongyang with their heads down.

In fact, only Cai Shangshu and Zhao Hongwei were standing, and the others were kneeling.

Zhao Zongyang sat behind the bookcase, looking through the basic folds in his hand with a very serious expression, and did not speak. There was no squeak from anyone standing or kneeling here, and they were all honest and honest people who didn't dare to breathe.

And Zhao Zongyang's expression became more and more serious as he looked at the folds in his hand.

Zhao Hongwei and Cai Shangshu were fine, but when the others saw Zhao Zongyang's expression, they all began to get nervous, especially the boss of Wenfanglou, who trembled like chaff in this tense atmosphere.

After reading the last page of the last book in his hand, Zhao Zongyang was so angry that his eyebrows stood up.

"Lao Cai, Lao Cai, how can you do such a thing for me!" Zhao Zongyang pointed at Cai Shangshu with his hand and said angrily.

Cai Shangshu, who was named and criticized by Zhao Zongyang, looked aggrieved - the conscience of heaven and earth, what happened in the north of the capital has nothing to do with me!

The turmoil that occurred in the morning was indeed caused by the failure of the Criminal Department to carry out its mission. From Wen Fanglou catching that Boss Jia, to pretending to reply to him, and then the failure of the arrest after the Jishi Society entered the city, to the two waves of people fighting, this Cai Shangshu didn't know anything about the whole plan.

This in itself is actually just a task to catch suspicious people, and the Criminal Department doesn't know how many times the Criminal Department has done such a mission.

Therefore, Cai Shangshu approved the request for instructions for this mission without taking a careful look. However, it's not that he, Lord Cai, is not rigorous, but because compared with this kind of task of arresting people, there is now a large pile of more important task instructions piled up on Cai Shangshu's bookcase.

"Your Majesty, it is not good for the ministers to discipline their subordinates, and they are even more responsible for negligence. The minister voluntarily confessed, please calm your anger. Cai Shangshu bowed his hand and quickly admitted his mistake first.

"Also, Hongwei, Hongwei, I asked you to go to the Criminal Department to assist Cai Shangshu, is that what you did!?" After saying Cai Shangshu, Zhao Zongyang turned his target to Zhao Hongwei again.

Zhao Hongwei is also so aggrieved, he went to the Criminal Department to supervise the preparation of safety matters on the day of his eldest brother Zhao Hongming's wedding ceremony, why did he have to be scolded with him when such an incident happened?

He really didn't have any feelings at all......

"The son knows that he is wrong, please punish his father. Zhao Hongwei didn't explain much, what Dad said.

In fact, Zhao Zongming didn't know that the two of them didn't know about this matter, but this one was the most powerful person in the department, and the other was the prince he personally sent to do things.

After saying these two, Zhao Zongyang solemnly glanced at the people kneeling below. Although these people all lowered their heads and did not have direct eye contact with Zhao Zongyang, all the people who were seen by him couldn't help lowering their heads a little more.

After a while, Zhao Zongyang asked solemnly: "Who is the main messenger of this operation?"

After asking this sentence, the owner of Wenfanglou, who had been "sifting chaff", knocked his head on the ground.

"It's the villain's fault, your majesty, just spare me!" the boss said as he cried.

Is this really the boss's doing? Strictly speaking, it's not. But from arresting Boss Jia to formulating the arrest plan, he came forward to do all this where the Criminal Department needed to discuss, so this mastermind was him even if it wasn't him.

"You?" Zhao Zongyang was a little unconvinced.

Isn't this guy the boss of Wenfanglou? Why did he take charge of the Criminal Department's task of arresting people?

Wenfang Building is an underground industry of the Criminal Department, and this boss is considered a member of the Criminal Department. However, although the boss is a member of the criminal department, he can't plan such an arrest plan based on his two moves.

In fact, Miss Wei is the main messenger of this whole plan. But Miss Wei's identity is a secret that cannot be publicized in Wenfanglou, even in front of the emperor, it can be concealed.

So, this boss is considered to have come out to top the bag......

Anyway, all the details of the operation were submitted by him to the above, and there was no need to worry about saying something wrong.

And Zhao Zongyang asked the meaning of the main envoy, and he did not want to punish him as the main one. Judging from the situation written on the fold, in fact, this plan to arrest people has been successful, because when the people of the Jishihui have unsuspectingly eaten the medicated meal, they have lost the ability to resist, and if it is not for the fact that they have regained their combat effectiveness after taking another pill, this task will be considered a successful completion.

"Who are the people who are leading the troops to ambush outside?" Zhao Zongyang then asked.

After a short silence, the Yan Envoy, who was kneeling, raised his head, and said with red eyes: "Back to Your Majesty, a total of eleven envoys, including the lower officials, should have led troops to arrest people, but now they ......."

After swallowing for a moment, Yan Ling's envoy continued: "The other six envoys have already died......"

Yan Ling's envoy sniffed, clasped his fists together with several other envoys, and said, "I am willing to be punished for my colleagues who died in the line of duty, please calm your anger." ”

After saying that, the five of them knocked their heads on the ground together.

Zhao Zongyang said in his heart, you are all people who fought bravely to kill the enemy, and all of them were already meritorious, but how can you be punished?

Zhao Zongyang was so angry that it wasn't that they led troops to arrest people, but he didn't fight, he was so angry that there were a lot of orders to die this time. The six envoys of the Criminal Department, all of whom were martial artists of the upper and lower levels, died like this, or died in his own territory in the capital, can Zhao Zongyang not be angry?

"Who is the person in charge of investigating the members of the Jishi Society and the on-site commander?" Zhao Zongyang asked as he looked at the remaining three people with their heads drooping.

When the two men heard the questioning, they first trembled in their hearts, and then they were relieved.

yes, it's their turn, too.

To say that in this incident, the problem is mainly with the three of them. The squire in charge of the investigation did not find out the strength of these Jishihui members who entered Beijing, which led to a serious shortage of manpower to arrest people on the spot at that time. And the two attendants who commanded on the scene were also unable to organize effective countermeasures at the first time, causing great losses when the people of the Jishihui counterattacked.

Whether it is the loss of personnel, or the financial loss of the local people, as well as the adverse effects caused by this incident in the capital, these three squires are mainly responsible.

"The ministers are guilty. These people didn't talk nonsense, they all knocked their heads to the ground, intending to let the emperor fall.

Zhao Zongyang really had a lot of anger towards these three squires in his heart. In fact, as long as one of these three guys can do something and do a little more, things won't make such a big fuss.

Five envoys were killed, dozens of soldiers of the Criminal Department were killed, a two-story building was destroyed, nearly 100 houses were damaged, and the people in their families were frightened.

This is all happening in the capital, even if the lost money and personnel are not mentioned, the loss caused by this incident to the face of the Yanfeng royal family is enough for the three squires to lose their heads.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Zongyang to cut off the heads of these three waiters. After all, being able to do things like this is mainly a problem for the entire Criminal Department. Moreover, Zhao Zongyang looked at the various strips of cloth that were still oozing blood wrapped around the three waiters, and he really couldn't bear to punish them too hard.

"Good, good. Zhao Zongyang sighed lightly and made a decision on how to deal with these people, "Since you are all willing to accept your guilt, then I will punish you now." ”

"Cai Shi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhao Hongwei, the fourth prince, the two of you are not conducive to the supervision of your subordinates, you will be fined for one year for dereliction of duty and negligence, and you will hand in the letter of repentance tomorrow morning. This is Zhao Zongyang's punishment for Cai Shangshu and Zhao Hongwei. The fault of the two of them in this incident is really not big, and Zhao Hongwei is even innocent of lying on the gun.

"The shopkeeper of Wenfanglou, it's a good thing that you dare to give advice, but because of the lack of experience and preparation, the criminal department suffered a lot of losses, so he was fined a thousand taels of silver and imprisoned for six months. This is Zhao Zongyang's punishment for the boss of Wenfanglou.

"Thank you, Your Majesty for not killing, woo woo woo ......" This boss originally came to give Miss Wei a bag with the determination to lose his head, but he didn't expect the actual punishment to be so light, and he cried out excitedly for a while.

"The envoys of the Criminal Department have ordered that you do not do things well and make huge mistakes, so you will be fined for three months. After Zhao Zongyang set the punishment for the envoy, he continued: "The confiscated ones are counted in the pensions of the other six envoys." ”

"Your Majesty Xie!" Several envoys heard Zhao Zongyang say this, and immediately kowtowed with tears. Three months is not a big punishment, and what really grieves them is the colleagues who died in battle. And Zhao Zongyang can also be regarded as a reward with punishment, and he has an explanation for those envoys who died in the line of duty.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Speaking of this, Zhao Zongyang's tone couldn't help but be a little aggravated, "The three of you made a big mistake, and the losses caused were also the most serious. From today onwards, suspend work for reflection, follow the arrangement when you will return to work, and fine each person 1,000 taels of silver. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three squires also kowtowed with a thousand gratitude, no matter what the punishment was, as long as they didn't lose their heads, it would be the best result.

After writing the punishment results, Zhao Zongyang was ready to send someone to the ministry, and the people from the ministry would carry it out. However, before he could call someone, an attendant from outside walked in first.

"Your Majesty, there's something important going on outside!" said the attendant as he came in and saluted.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zongyang said impatiently. He wants to ask a cadre of officials about his guilt, so he specially ordered him not to come in and disturb him no matter what, how can there be such an attendant who is so ignorant.

"Back to His Majesty's words, "It's really not that the guards are ignorant, but that he must give Zhao Zongyang an order in time for this matter, but he doesn't know how long the matter here will have to be dealt with, so he has to rush in."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has just entered Beijing. ”
