In the Zichen Palace, Li Zhi and Empress Wu sat side by side.

"The son has seen his father, the queen mother!"

As soon as Li Hong entered the door, he saw Li Zhi with a dark face, but Empress Wu seemed much calmer, but the faint cold light in his eyes showed that Empress Wu was not in a calm mood at the moment!

On both sides of the main hall, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and Zhang Wenqian had already arrived together, all silent, and even Xu Jingzong, who had always been smiling, had a serious face.

Gotcha, look at this posture, another group of people are waiting for themselves!

"Hong'er is here, let's get up first!"

Li Zhi glanced at Li Hong and said lightly.

Immediately made Li Hong breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that his father is still sensible, and he did not blame him for leaving without permission before.

Li Hong hurriedly stood aside.

"Zhang Aiqing, let's talk about it, what's going on!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Zhi asked Zhang Wenqian in a rather unkind tone.

No wonder Li Zhi is so displeased, Dali Temple has indeed not done well enough these days, and there was a poisoning incident in the last trial of the three divisions, but fortunately, the matter is not big, and it is still under control.

This time, he simply died in prison, and as the chief official of Dali Temple, Zhang Wenjun's responsibility cannot be shirked.

"The old minister was derelict in his duties, so that the prisoner died violently in prison, and he continued to rank in the ninth rank without shame, and asked His Majesty to surrender!"

As soon as Li Hong came in, Zhang Wenqian also kept a black face, and at this moment Li Zhi opened his mouth to ask him.

The old man immediately knelt down, took out a piece of music from his sleeve, and took off the goldfish bag at his waist and put it aside.

Li Zhi casually flipped through the folds handed over by Zhang Wenjun, and couldn't help but feel a headache.

What a resignation at this time!

Of course, he could see that Zhang Wenqian was not making any false feelings, the old man really felt that he was derelict in his duty, so he wanted to ask to go, but he didn't see that the legato was written.

But the question is, is now the time to talk about this? The top priority now is how to deal with Helan Minzhi's affairs!

Li Zhi felt a wave of slander in his heart.

"Zhang Aiqing get up first, even if it is a dereliction of duty, it will not be to the point of resigning, this performance is not allowed! What's more, the top priority is the violent death of He Lanmin in prison, Aiqing should get up first and talk about what the situation is? Dali Temple is heavily guarded, why did Minzhi suddenly die? ”

Although he was a little unhappy with Zhang Wenjun's ignorance in his heart, Li Zhi knew that he was such a personality and was solemn and clear, otherwise he would not have handed over the Dali Temple in charge of the prison to him.

But in the same way, now that something has happened, Zhang Wenjun's first reaction is to blame himself!

So Li Zhi can't blame him for anything?

It is definitely not okay to resign, with Zhang Wenqian who has never had a bad record in his career for many years, although he has never paid homage to the prime minister, he is always one of the nine Qings with a respected status, and he can't dismiss him because of such a small mistake, which is also too child's play!

Besides, Zhang Wenqian is a die-hard supporter of Li Hong, if he really leaves, the strength of the East Palace will be seriously lacking, and Li Zhi does not want to see this happen.

So Li Zhi strongly extinguished Old Man Zhang's idea of resigning and not doing anything, and turned the topic to business.

"Old minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Zhang Wenjun sighed, hesitated, and stood up with a complicated expression.

To be honest, he resigned just now, and he was also impulsive, and he regretted it as soon as he said it!

It's not that he is greedy for power, but Zhang Wenqian also suddenly thought that if he left, it would have a great impact on the East Palace, and it happened that Li Zhi rejected him, and the old man went down the slope.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, after the old minister received the decree yesterday, he rushed back to Dali Temple, put Helan Minzhi on death row, and waited for Mrs. Rongguo to return to Beijing before beheading!"

Zhang Wenjun sorted out his thoughts and spoke.

Seeing that Zhang Wenqian was no longer entangled in the matter of resignation, Li Zhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only Li Zhi, but even Li Hong was taken aback just now, and at this moment, when he heard Zhang Wenqian start to talk about Helan Minzhi, he also pricked up his ears.

At that time, the guards who came to inform him only briefly said that Helan Minzhi died violently in Dali Temple, but the specific details were not clear, so he was also puzzled by the question Li Zhi just asked, but what was even more strange to him was that Helan Minzhi obviously didn't live for a few days, who would take such a big risk to kill him at this time?

"But in the early morning today, as soon as the old minister arrived at Dali Temple, a small official came to report, saying that when he went to the prison to deliver food today, he found that He Lanminzhi died in prison, and the old minister was very shocked at the time, and hurriedly took someone to check, and when the old minister arrived, he found that He Lanminzhi had already lost his breath, and his face was extremely shocked when he died, as if he had seen something unbelievable!"

Zhang Wenjun's voice was very heavy, in the final analysis, this matter was still his negligence, although he also felt that Helan Minzhi deserved to die, but he should be executed by the law in a righteous and bright manner, and should not die under this means......

"Lord Zhang, with all due respect, although Dali Temple is not a full-time guard prisoner, it can be regarded as a heavily guarded person, didn't the guards notice it in the slightest before He Lanmin's death?"

Xu Jingzong also had a serious face and asked in a deep voice.

"Xu Xiang, don't worry, it's all the old man's dereliction of duty!"

Hearing Xu Jingzong's question, Zhang Wenqian looked even more embarrassed, sighed and said.

"Late last night, a man who claimed to be a slave of the Duke of Zhou's mansion suddenly came to Dali Temple, saying that he wanted to send some food to his master, and the guard was greedy for money and the wine and meat that the man brought, so he took it upon himself to put the person in, but it didn't take long to hear that something was wrong in the prison, but by the time they realized it, it was too late, and after the man killed Helan Minzhi, he had already fled!"

Well, the means are really simple and crude!

But Li Hong can't deny that although it is simple, it is indeed the most effective method, it is difficult to rescue a person from the heavily guarded Dali Temple, but if it is to kill a person, it is much simpler......

Everyone was silent for a while, the murderer obviously calculated everything, took advantage of the slack guard in the middle of the night, and infiltrated Dali Temple to kill Helan Minzhi, without thinking about it, he knew that since he dared to do this, he would definitely be sure to succeed.

"Didn't the murderer leave any clues?"

After a long time, Xu Jingzong asked.

In fact, he already has the answer, how can the murderer leave any clues so neatly.

"Early this morning, just after the old man verified the violent death of He Lanmin, he received a report at the same time that the murderer committed suicide in an alley not far from Dali Temple!"

Zhang Wenqian said helplessly.

It made everyone's hearts float with a glimmer of hope, maybe they could follow this clue to find out who was behind the scenes.

"The old man has already verified that the person who died is undoubtedly the murderer, and his identity is ...... It's strange that no one knows him! There is no identification, this person seems to have appeared out of thin air from the world! ”

Well, now the clues are all broken!
