Although Zhao Ji is ridiculous, he knows very well who can use it and who can't use it at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Gang got into the eyes of Zhao Ji because of the raid on Zhu Mian's house, and after that, he was promoted to Dali Shaoqing, which is an official of the fourth grade, and he is quite praised in this position because he is upright.

Zhao Ji ordered to summon him, just to use his ability to reconnoiter Genyue's fire.

There is actually another reason why Zhao Ji is angry like this, that is, he didn't catch an arsonist.

This made him feel very frightened, these people could easily enter Gen Yue and set fire, didn't that mean that they could also blend in and assassinate?

After the order to summon Li Gang was handed down, Zhao Ji thought about today's events carefully, and more and more questions surfaced.

He glanced at the children, it was normal for several older sons to be in front of him, and Emperor Mao De and the others should not be around at this time, but she was the only one who spoke for Zhou Quan.

Zhao Ji knew that his daughter had seen Zhou Quan when she was a child, but as she got older, Zhou Quan said that she hadn't seen her for four or five years.

Although Zhao Ji has the intention of exchanging a daughter - he has many daughters anyway - for Zhou Quan's loyalty, at least he can appease Zhou Quan at this time of crisis, but if his daughter has a personal relationship with Zhou Quan, he will be unhappy in his heart. Therefore, he deliberately asked, "What does Mao De think of Zhou Quan?" ”

Maude lowered his eyebrows: "My daughter doesn't know." ”

"Then why are you...... Why do you think that the arsonist is not Zhou Quan? ”

"My daughter thinks that he is a bit like his father, and since he is like a father, he can't do such a thing as burning the qin and cooking cranes."

Zhao Ji heard that Zhou Quan was like him, and he was immediately stunned, he couldn't understand where Zhou Quan was like himself. He opened his mouth to ask again, but Maode's reason was very simple, Zhou Quan, like Zhao Ji, likes delicacy and enjoyment, so there are popsicles, bicycles, glass mirrors, grandfather clocks, etc.

This reason made Zhao Ji laugh dumbly: "Then you are wrong, he is a ...... Reckless, he also burned Tong Guan's house and the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce some time ago. ”

"That must be Tong Guan and the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce have a place where he can't stand him, and his father has never been able to stand up to him, so he won't come to embarrass his father."

This was said simply, Zhao Ji first laughed, and then was a little dazed.

Pure things often hide the truth. If Tong Guan and the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce didn't come to provoke Zhou Quan, how could Zhou Quan send someone to set fire, Zhou Quan, this person, the most important and profitable, no good thing, he couldn't do it easily, burned Tong Guan's house and Tianshui Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Quan, who was originally very noisy in the capital, betrayed the country, and stopped abruptly for this, and the news sent back by the Imperial City Division, those who were originally clamoring to suppress the goods of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, are now silent.

What are the benefits of burning Genyue to Zhou Quan?

Nothing!

However, if you say I'm sorry Zhou Quan......

At this point, Zhao Ji felt a little guilty, but he quickly put this guilt aside: as the Son of Heaven, that's it, it should be like this.

"Father, it is appropriate to meet the minister at this time." Seeing that Emperor Maode had already made his father change his mind, Zhao Gou spoke at the right time.

This was said at the right time, and it was not reckless, Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai over there also persuaded together, so the important ministers who were originally blocked from Yanfu Palace also had to enter the palace one after another.

When the minister entered the palace, except for the prince and King Yun, the rest of the young princes and princesses retreated to the harem, and Mao De, who had just calmed Zhao Ji, was no exception. She was going out through the side door with her two maids, and when she had not gone far, she heard someone call her: "Maude, Maude!" ”

Maude Diji stopped, her expression changed slightly, but when she turned her head, her expression was quite calm, as she always was, beautiful and pure, as if she knew nothing of the squalor of the world.

It was Zhao Kai who chased him out and stopped him, Zhao Kai, who was originally angry, was slightly stunned when he saw Mao De's appearance, and the reprimanding words in his mouth softened a little: "Why do you want to speak for Zhou Quan?" ”

Mao De looked shocked: "Why did Brother Wang say this, where did the little sister speak for Zhou Quan?" ”

"Just now, my father was going to send Zhou Quan, if you don't say a word, this person will definitely die!" Zhao Kai gritted his teeth and said.

Mao De showed a puzzled look: "Isn't Zhou Quan the Duke of Donghai County, the minister of his father's humerus, and besides, the little sister is not wrong...... Why does Brother Wang want Zhou Quan to die? ”

Zhao Kai froze again, and then thought clearly, he wanted Zhou Quan to die, this was to vent his personal anger, how could he say it in public!

This is also this time when he is angry, anxious and frightened, and the pressure is so great that he loses his temper.

He wasn't a strong-willed man in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen to this point.

"You really didn't mean to defend him?" After thinking about it, Zhao Kai said in a deep voice.

Mao De lowered his eyelids slightly, and his face was soft: "The little sister is a woman, she doesn't know about national affairs, the little sister thinks that if Zhou Quan is guilty, it is useless to defend him, if Zhou Quan is not guilty, it should be the matter of the prince, the prince and the ministers, where is the turn of the little sister?" ”

The words were soft and rigid, leaving Zhao Kai speechless.

Not only was he speechless, but Zhao Gou, who came out behind him, was also a little stunned.

If Zhou Quan is guilty, after finding out, the canon of punishment is that if Zhou Quan is not guilty, then with his merits to the Great Song Dynasty and the Zhao family over the years, the princes who have been used, as well as the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, should indeed help Zhou Quan defend himself.

Even Zhao Ji himself should not doubt Zhou Quan at the first time, but should give enough trust.

Zhao Gou can think like this, but Zhao Kai can't, he thought about it, and Mao De's words reminded him.

Now it has only dissipated Zhao Ji's anger, but he has not said that Zhou Quan is not guilty!

He turned around and ignored Mao De, while Zhao Gou gave Mao De a salute from behind, and then hurriedly turned back.

Cai Jing was recalled from his home, but when he arrived, he saw Li Gang, the Shaoqing of Dali, hurriedly coming out of the palace. Cai Jing stopped and took Li Gang's hand: "Boji, the safety of the court is all up to you." ”

Li Gang was stunned for a moment: "Why did the Taishi say this?" ”

Cai Jing didn't say it explicitly, just shook his hand: "With Boji as a person, the old man can be trusted." ”

After finishing speaking, he entered the Yanfu Palace, leaving Li Gang alone outside the palace in a daze.

Li Gang couldn't stay too long, after all, he was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the arson of Genyue. He thought that in order to investigate this matter thoroughly, two places had to be started, one was Kaifeng Mansion, so he first came to find Yin Niechang of Kaifeng Mansion.

Nie Chang had already submitted his resignation to the imperial court, but he didn't expect that before the approval came, Gen Yue was burned first.

He has nothing to say except lamenting the inverted frieze, today he originally knelt in front of the palace to wait for the crime, and was sent by the court to cooperate with Li Gang in investigating the case.

"Actually, what else is there to check, there is no doubt that there are internal ghosts, if there is no one to help, how can so many assassins enter Genyue without knowing it? Now I am closing the door, but I am doing my part, there are nearly two million people in Kaifeng City now, and one or twenty assassins are mixed in it, it must still be lurking for a long time, and it is impossible to find out! ”

"Two million, so much?" Li Gang was taken aback.

Previously, it was said that there were more than 1.7 million people in Kaifeng City, which still included the population outside the city, but now that the city gate is closed, where will the two million people come from in the city?

"When I first saw this population, I was also shocked, and then I specifically checked, yes, a total of 541,172 households, more than 1,985,500 people!" Nie Chang replied with certainty: "In the past few years, many people from other places have entered Beijing, and they have found something in Beijing......

Kaifeng City has been particularly prosperous in recent years, and a large number of projects have also brought a large number of laborers, and then various industries serving these projects, and then clothing, food, housing and transportation serving these laborers...... Unconsciously, there are hundreds of thousands of more people, which is surprising, and one can't help but wonder where these people came from.

These outsiders, but there is no clear household registration, Li Gang began to understand why Nie Chang complained bitterly, to find suspicious people from hundreds of thousands of immigrants who did not have a clear household registration, it is not a task that can be completed in a short time.

Fortunately, he had other plans: "There is Lao Fu Yin, Fu Yin can order someone to find a merchant who is related to the Liao thief, I expect that this matter is related to the Liao thief." ”

Nie Chang showed a look of surprise, at this time, inside and outside the court, almost everyone thought that Gen Yue's arson was done by Zhou Quan, and Li Gang was the first to publicly speculate that the arson was related to the Liao people.

He looked at Li Gang with a gaze that even looked like a fool.

"Fu Yin thinks it's inappropriate?" Li Gang asked.

Nie Chang swallowed his saliva, he was actually called Nie Shan at this time, and he had not yet been renamed Nie Chang because he wrote to the imperial court to beg Cai Jing Wang Huang. He had dealt with Li Gang a lot of times before, and both of them had a good relationship with Cai You, after thinking about it, he said in a low voice: "The key is not whether I think it is inappropriate, but the imperial court...... Shaoqing, the key is whether the official family thinks that this case is related to the Liao thief! ”

At this moment, Li Gang suddenly understood what Cai Jing meant by patting his arm in front of Yanfu Palace.

There are always some people in the court who want to detain the charge of arson to Zhou Quan's head, even if they force Zhou Quan to rebel for this, they don't care!

For example, he and Nie Shan's co-host Cai You!

and Zhao Kai, the king of Yun behind Cai You, failed to defeat Liao, which shattered the dream of Zhao Kai, who had the advantage, and his jealousy of Zhou Quan can be said to be extreme.

The other is Tong Guan, if Zhou Quan did not retaliate and burned Tong Guan's house, then the two could be eased, but Zhou Quan's revenge came so quickly and ruthlessly, this is not only revenge, but also a declaration to Tong Guan, and the two will not stand apart from then on!

The same is true of those clan relatives of the clan, the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce was not only burned, but more importantly, millions of war bonds, now the imperial court can't come up with the money, and the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce can't afford to pay this bond, of course they hope that Zhou Quan will be planted, so that they can rush up and tear a large piece of fat down.

And also...... And also......

Li Gang's head was as big as a fight for a while, and he smiled bitterly: The emperor really gave him a big problem.

He could imagine what kind of pressure he would face next, and after muttering for a while, Li Gang's face turned resolute.

He is Li Boji, he has his ambitions, he has his position! (To be continued.) )
