Zhao Chenxiang, the director of the Terracotta Division, was hurrying to the palace at this moment, his face was a little ugly, and he sat in the center of the sedan chair for a long time.

Not to mention anything else, just saying that he was sued by Zhou Zong, it was already quite uncomfortable.

There are words above, let yourself do things, how dare he, the head of the Terracotta Division, not do it, besides, it is just to arrest a murderer, which should be a trivial matter for the Terracotta Division, but the matter seems to be a little big, and he actually got Zhou Zong's mansion, which he did not expect.

However, what worries him the most now is not these things, but now that His Majesty is looking for himself, I don't know how Zhou Zong bit himself, this is the most important thing.

His own people went to Zhou Zong's mansion, and no one has come back to say a word, what was found out and what happened, this is even more worrying about him.

The sedan chair soon came to the palace gate, got off the sedan chair, and walked quickly to the palace.

Seeing his hurried footsteps, a eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and when he heard the question, he understood his intentions and immediately led him to the palace.

Zhao Chenxiang came to the front of the hall, and when he walked into the hall, although he never raised his head, he already knew that Zhou Zong was already in the hall.

"Minister Zhao Chenxiang, please give your majesty a greeting." Zhao Chenxiang bowed and saluted, then knelt down and kowtowed.

Li Jing snorted in his nose, and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Chenxiang,." Are you guilty? ”

Li Jing didn't let Zhao Chenxiang get up, and asked such a sentence, this clearly has the meaning of blame, Zhao Chenxiang has been an official for many years, how could he not understand the meaning of His Majesty's actions and words.

"The minister doesn't know what crime he has committed, please make it clear to His Majesty." Zhao Chenxiang took a deep breath and finally squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth.

"Zhao Chenxiang, you sent troops to arrest the murderer, I don't care if it's right or wrong, but you connived at your subordinates and went to Zhou Situ's house to search, did you ever ask for an order? Could it be that the mansion of a first-class official is searched when you say it, and you know that the woman is bathing, and you have to break into the women's boudoir to search it without authorization, whose life are you taking? Li Jing was furious, he patted his dragon chair and said angrily.

Li Yu was standing aside at the moment, although he kept his head down and never looked up at his cheap old man, he still swept his body with his residual vision.

Judging from his figure, this Southern Tang Dynasty lord is very strong, and at this moment, Li Yu feels that he does have the demeanor of a king.

And Zhao Chenxiang, who was kneeling below, Li Yu took a closer look from the moment he entered the door.

This person is of medium stature, wearing official uniforms, and looks like a military general, but judging from his eyes and demeanor, he must be a cunning and fickle person.

At this moment, hearing the questions and answers of the two gentlemen and ministers, Li Yu's impression of this Zhao Chenxiang was also more understood, and listening to Li Jing to the point at this moment, Li Yu couldn't help but listen carefully to their next words.

"The minister doesn't know, the minister just asked his subordinates to go to arrest the murderer, but they didn't come back, the minister is really incompetent, please ask Your Majesty to surrender the crime." What Zhao Chenxiang said was very high-sounding, but no matter who listened, he put the responsibility on his subordinates.

"Oh? So, you don't have any responsibility at all? Li Jing didn't laugh angrily, and said coldly.

"The minister is guilty of negligence, please punish Your Majesty." Zhao Chenxiang knelt on the ground, but said so in his mouth.

Hearing Zhao Chenxiang's words, Li Yu was speechless for a while, this kid is really powerful, he has made his own crime to the minimum, even if Li Jing is guilty, it is just a small crime, and his subordinates were thrown out of the clouds by him as a whole, such a character can be regarded as ruthless.

Li Jing sat on it, looking at Zhao Chenxiang below, although he was very angry in his heart, he couldn't do anything about him.

After a moment of silence, Li Jing opened his mouth and said, "Zhou Aiqing, where did those people who went to your house to search go, do you know what happened?" ”

"Just outside the palace gate, I have left them outside the palace gate with the palace guards, waiting for His Majesty to issue an order to deal with them." Zhou Zong had recovered at this moment and kowtowed to Li Jing and said.

Li Jing sighed, he knew that although the matter was simple, he could not act rashly, after all, it involved the Soldiers and Horses Division, and Zhou Zong, so after muttering, let the eunuch draw up an order, and ordered the Criminal Department to immediately start investigating.

One is to verify the affairs of Zhou's mansion, and the other is to arrest the arrested murderers.

The order was given, Li Jing sighed, and said to Zhou Zong, "Zhou Aiqing, although this matter is not complicated, it still needs to be tried, I hope you can understand, those people outside, I have already ordered them to go to prison, you can go back to the house and wait for news." ”

Zhou Zong nodded, he understood that Li Jing was also blocking the mouths of others by doing this, at least, he couldn't be judged by his own words now.

Zhou Zong is very calm, he is not the kind of radical person.

The will has been drawn up, and the matter is over, Li Jing is trying to let everyone quit, and Li Yu is also trying to report to Li Jing that he was being hunted down and killed, but he doesn't want to, but there is a reply from the eunuch outside, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has something to ask to see." ”

Hearing that His Royal Highness had something to ask to see, Li Jing groaned for a while, waved his hand to Zhao Chenxiang, and said, "You go down, go to the criminal department by yourself, and I won't let people arrest you." ”

Li Jing said it easily, but this also shows that he is not afraid that Zhao Chenxiang will run away at all, and Zhao Chenxiang will not escape, even if he is convicted, I am afraid that his crime will not be very big, so he can't do such a shrewd person to escape.

Zhao Chenxiang kowtowed and stood up, exited the palace, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

When he walked past His Royal Highness, he smiled bitterly, although the crime was not big, but he knew that even so, his future career might not be so easy.

His Royal Highness glanced at Zhao Chenxiang, then turned around and walked into the hall with the little eunuch who came out to greet him.

The main hall came down to the hall, looked up, but saw that Li Yu and Zhou Zong were in the hall, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then took two steps forward, bowed to the top, and said, "The son of the emperor to ask for peace." ”

After speaking, His Royal Highness Li Hongji had already knelt down and kowtowed.

Li Yu was standing aside at the moment, looking coldly at His Highness in front of him, his thoughts were surging, in fact, he had already heard it, and some of the orders to arrest him may be under His Highness, so that is to say, he also hopes that he will become a murderer, or even die.

When Li Yu was sighing to himself, Li Jing, who was sitting upright, coughed lightly and asked, "Hongji, what do you want to see as a father?" ”

"Back to my father's words, my son got a report from the Chizhou army today, there is a lack of military supplies in the army, and morale is low, and my son is afraid that there will be changes in the army, so I came to my father to admonish him." Li Hongji said very sincerely, and it seemed that he was really worried about the military situation.

"Oh? I haven't seen it yet, how do you know about it? Li Jing asked with some surprise.

"Back to my father, my sons have friends in the army, we often exchange letters, and if we learn about it occasionally, I think the chapter should soon be in the hands of my father." Li Hongji is very stylish.

"Oh? In your opinion, how should you deal with it? Li Jing frowned, and the muscles on his face twitched twice. Li Hongyi chuckled in his heart, wondering if he had said something wrong.

"According to the will of the ministers, it is best to send a prince to escort a large number of military supplies, as well as silver taels to calm people's hearts, so as to boost morale, and secondly, let the sergeants of the army know that the father cares about the soldiers, so that the soldiers can use their lives." Li Hongji said that he had already thought of all the countermeasures, just waiting for Li Jing to approve his statement.
