The code was right, and a lantern suddenly lit up under the small building a hundred steps ahead, reflecting a vague figure, the person was walking in front of the lantern, Zhao Anye led the team to follow, and made a few turns, and finally arrived in front of a row of low walls, which should be the yard of the miscellaneous servants on the north side, but there were no guards in sight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The pro-soldiers have been in the military for a long time, and they are very skillful and tacit in doing these things, leaving people to stand guard along the way, Zhao Anye stepped forward to push open the hidden door, and a group of pro-soldiers followed the light trot into the compound, facing a gust of night wind with a strong smell of wine.
Zhao Anye raised his hands and waved, and the soldiers were guarding the main roads everywhere, and the remaining more than 30 people followed him into the lobby, where the lights were as bright as day, five or six tables were in disarray, and there were party members in leather robes lying on the ground.
There was a figure lying on the small table in the middle of the inside who was sleeping soundly, the corners of Zhao Anye's mouth twitched, he stepped forward to bypass the people on the ground, stepped forward and grabbed his ears and lifted it, it was a slender old face, confirmed that it was correct, and the knife fell in his hand, and things went surprisingly smoothly.
As soon as the soldiers entered the door, they each defended a target, and when they saw him move, they acted together, and soon killed more than fifty people, and the bubbling blood flowed all over the ground, and the fishy smell was so strong that it could not be dissolved. After the soldiers finished their work, they made sure that there was no living mouth left and retreated to the open place, so as not to leave a flaw in the blood.
Zhao Anye waved his hand, and the rest of the people retreated tacitly, and there were only three people left in the hall, one by one, mending the corpses, and going out after smashing the fatal wounds, the group of soldiers who went out first brought a few barrels of wine from nowhere, pried open the lid and poured it off, and suddenly the wine and blood were mixed together, and a torch flew in, and a blue flame ignited in the hall.
Zhao Anye quickly climbed over the wall along the original road, took the ladder with him, and met Chu Zhaofu's carriage halfway, and when they returned to the old mansion of the Zhao family to check the tail of the hand, many of the soldiers still had blood stains on them.
The fire in the side courtyard of the Honglu Temple soon alarmed the guard of the night, the sound of the bangzi was as dense as a shower, the nearby residents heard the news and put out the fire, and the officials of the Honglu Temple naturally found out first, even the sand ash for extinguishing the fire was ready-made, and the fire was quickly controlled, and the result was that under the search, more than 50 bodies that had not been burned were found, and the case was reported to Kaifeng Mansion that night.
Zan Jurun was surprised when he received the report, and wondered in his heart, and took 1,000 infantry soldiers from Kaifeng Mansion to block the scene overnight, and had to spend the night in Honglu Temple that night, and kept all the officials and related people of the government, and asked for evidence one by one, but there were no clues.
The next morning, Fan Zhen got off the bus in front of the Zuoye Gate on time, because the emperor had not returned to Beijing, so there was no need to hold a court meeting, and the opening time of the Zuoye Gate would be a little later, and the middle and low-level officials who went to Zhongshu Province to deal with daily state affairs were also waiting here, discussing something with each other in groups.
When the officials saw Fan Zhen's arrival, their voices couldn't help but be lowered, but Fan Zhen still vaguely heard sensitive words such as "arson" and "premeditated murder", and couldn't help but be curious. After waiting for a while, Zhang Mei also arrived, and Fan Zhen stepped forward and asked, "Hyungui!" Has there been any major case in Kaifeng Mansion recently? ”
"Alas! You don't know yet, do you? In the early hours of last night, Xia Sui and Li Renxiu were assassinated, and their bodies were smashed to the point that they were unrecognizable, and all fifty-five people died. Zhang Mei had a bitter face, he was also in charge of the internal inspection, and was temporarily in charge of the defense of the capital, and this kind of thing was also within his purview.
"What? This ......" Fan Zhen almost called out the word "butcher", and quickly bit it when the words came to his mouth, as the temporary supreme leader of Tokyo, it would be very inappropriate to call out directly.
"Listen to ......" Zhang Mei smiled bitterly and glanced at the officials around her, but the people he saw immediately stood up straight, all with serious faces. But just now they were obviously still discussing, and they all said that this matter was related to the previous rumors, and the two important ministers naturally thought so in their hearts, but it was difficult to say.
"The two countries are fighting each other, and they don't kill them! Even if he is a rebel envoy under the rule, if he wants to be beheaded, he has to go through the court with a public weapon, so bold and reckless, even the Honglu Temple dares to set fire, where is the face of the court, where is the national law? Fan Zhen stomped his feet and shouted, and said: "Last year, the "Great Zhou Criminal System" was just revised, and the case must be handled in accordance with the law. ”
Fan Zhen, as the prime minister, would not personally inquire about this kind of thing even if it happened, threw down a sentence and entered the Zuoye Gate, and went straight to Zhongshu Province east of the Rihua Gate. There is not just one compound, but a cluster of buildings, divided into several halls and pavilions, located on high pedestals, connected by four corridors. Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are opposite to each other, and they are collectively called "Dongfu", while the Privy Council on the other side of Yuehuamen is called "Xifu".
Entering the front lobby of Zhongshu Province, it is like a small court palace, with offices of lower-level officials and subordinates on both sides, the back hall is the signing room of Fan Qian, and the front lobby is the place of "court ginseng". Some major matters and governance strategies often have to be discussed in advance by several ministers and ministers of Zhongshu Shilang and Shangshu, and then handed to the door for review, and then handed by Zhongshu Sheren to the general secretary of the palace to govern affairs, which is decided by the emperor.
For the country's civil affairs, criminal law, and economy, Guo Rong had to ask about everything, and did it himself, mainly focusing on the economy and the military, and did not have any outstanding deeds in civil affairs and state and county affairs, which was far from the former emperor Guo Wei.
In recent years, the war on the southeast and northwest fronts has been carried out continuously, and the loss of national strength has been extremely huge, and the little vitality recovered from the beginning of Guangshun has been almost worn out in the past two years.
After passing through the lobby did not stop, Fan Zhen first went to the subordinate officials' signing room, and the Zhongshu Sheren Hu Zai had already arrived first, and was sorting out the seal and the edict that had just arrived in Beijing recently. Fan Zhen opened his mouth and asked, "Zhongxi! What's the big deal lately? Your Majesty can have a draft edict to return to Beijing? ”
"Yes! Just about to hand it to Wen Su Xianggong, please take a look at it first! "After Jingzhou Liang's medical treatment, two or three months of recuperation last year, Hu Zai's illness has completely recovered, and he is still in Zhongshu Province after returning to Beijing.
"Shi Yanchao is still suitable for Xia Suijie, Zhang Yuanzhen has already worshiped the prince of Yan'an County, added the school captain, and added the guard? There is also a large group of officers, all of whom are consuls, how can the state official weapons be lightly awarded? It's too sloppy! Fan Zhen barely finished reading it, his face suddenly stretched long, and he said with great dissatisfaction.
Hu Zai looked low-browed and pleasing to the eyes, he was not easy to comment on the affairs of the important ministers, and it was even more difficult for him to comment on how the emperor used people. These seals are often very mysterious, and they will offend people if they open their mouths easily, and they don't know what is going on when they are suppressed and excluded afterwards.
"Send someone to invite Wang Wenbo and Zhang Xuangui to come over to discuss the appointment of officials in the northwest prefecture and county, and several marshals who participated in the war will press the grass edict first, and wait for His Majesty to return to Beijing." Fan Zhen made up his mind that Zhang Yue must not be crowned as the third duke, and if he wants to be crowned, he can only add the third orphan as the prince and young master, even if the title is appropriately promoted to the prince of the country.
Otherwise, a martial artist who has no background, has not read any sage books, and has not been able to take the imperial examination path will climb to the top of the civil official title so easily, and it is possible to enter the privy council and enter the prime minister, which invisibly makes the status of civil officials decline, and Fan Zhen must not bear it.
