In fact, Zhao Zhiliang himself was not sure whether his distress letter could be handed to Zheng Jin, the king of Yi. After all, at the moment, he is just a five-grade soldier squire, which is too unimportant. Therefore, he didn't embarrass the cell boss, but just told the cell boss to hand over the two letters to Mrs. Zhao and let Mrs. Zhao find a way.

"There is another sentence that I beg you to bring to my wife together," Zhao Zhiliang said uneasily: "Don't delay the letter to Li Xiang, send it quickly, and ask her to hand it over to Li Xiang in person." ”

"Got it." The cell boss nodded, and agreed very happily. However, these two letters for help, which maintained all the hopes of Zhao Zhiliang, could never be delivered to Li Xiang and Zheng Jin, because as soon as the cell leader came out of the cell, he directly handed over these two letters to Zheng Ying.

Zheng Ying opened the letter and read it in front of her, then folded it and stuffed it into an envelope, and handed it to the criminal department secretary who was standing aside. Shangshu of the Criminal Department cautiously glanced at Zheng Ying's face and asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to interrogate Zhao Zhiliang now?" ”

"There's no hurry." Zheng Ying shook her head: "Wait two more days." After Zhao Zhiliang found out that his plea for help was useless, he could only be more desperate. ”

Shangshu's lips moved, and he wanted to remind Zheng Ying very much, detaining Zhao Zhiliang in this way but not arraigning him, I am afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government will be dissatisfied, even if King Thaksin is not afraid of the pressure of the court, but their criminal department is a little unbearable.

However, looking at Zheng Ying's calm face, the reminder of the Criminal Department Shangshu finally didn't dare to say it.

Forget it. He thought to himself, when the sky fell, there was a tall man on top of it, anyway, no matter what happened, King Xin would stop in front of him, and he would have no more to worry about. It's just that I can't go home again tonight! The Criminal Department Shangshu sighed heartily.

At present, there are many people who want to dig up news from the mouth of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Zheng Ying has taken this into account in advance, so in the past few days, Zhao Zhiliang has been detained in the prison of the Criminal Department, and several presiding officials who have received errands in advance have consciously stayed in the Criminal Department to accompany him.

In the past few days, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department has been running faster than a rabbit every day, and when he comes out of the palace, he has gone back to the yamen of the Criminal Department and does not dare to go anywhere. He was afraid that he would be caught and ask about the case, and he really couldn't stand some emotional pressure.

For example, if the supervisor Xie Xiang asked him about Zhao Zhiliang, Shangshu of the Criminal Department was not sure that he would be able to withstand the pressure and not say a word. Therefore, at the moment, the best way for the criminal department Shangshu is to hide.

The Criminal Department Shangshu has been a bit stressed in the past two days, and for other courtiers, these two days have been simply an explosion of information, and things have been piled up one after another.

First, the urgent letter from the north arrived, and King Xin entered the palace overnight, and then a squire from the military department was detained, and then, Sun Shangshu went to the song and asked the household department to allocate funds, and the military department took the lead in urgently purchasing grain and grass near Gyeonggi and transporting it to the north.

He Wenmao felt that the household department should contribute money and efforts, but it still had to be supervised and led by the Ministry of War to procure and purchase military rations, either it would be handled by the Ministry of Households, or the Ministry of War would raise funds by itself.

He and Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of War had a dispute over the purchase of military rations in the court, and Li Xiang was obviously very concerned about Sun Shangshu's dismissal without passing through him, and his position was clear and supported the Ministry of Households. Xie Xiang was quite calm, still in a wait-and-see state, King Yi was also silent, and Sun Shangshu's friend Lord Wang did not express his opinions casually.

The most unexpected thing is that Scholar Gu, who is usually cautious, actually stood up without hesitation this time and directly supported the military department.

With the support of Scholar Gu, Sun Shangshu was obviously full of confidence, he jumped to his feet and quarreled with He Wenmao for a while, refusing to give in at all, and after listening to it for a long time, the emperor directly issued an order to support the proposal of the Ministry of War, and the court approved it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Shangshu led a large group of military officials to the household department to reach out and ask for money, and he quickly set up a temporary yamen in Nanshi, and issued an official document of the military department on the same day.

This look was planned in advance, and He Wenmao was even more angry after hearing about it, but it was useless for him to be angry now, the emperor had already issued an order, and He Wenmao didn't have the courage to resist the decree no matter what. No matter what, he had to pinch his nose and pay for it, but because of the fire in his heart, He Wenmao could not cooperate with the Ministry of War happily, so he used a lot of means openly and secretly to make trouble for the Ministry of War.

It's also strange to say, Sun Shangshu, who is always a good man on weekdays, is also abnormal this time, with an extremely tough attitude, in just two days, the military department has torn up with the household department a few times, and the court is simply lively, and the courtiers have heard all kinds of gossip in the past two days, and they feel that their ears are almost insufficient.

Because the military department and the household department outside were too lively, Zhao Zhiliang, who was locked up in prison, was not so concerning. Most of the courtiers thought that Zhao Zhiliang might know something about spies, so he was called by King Xin to ask.

As for the fact that he was held in the criminal department for several days and was not released...... In fact, many people are not particularly surprised. Because there is a lesson from the past.

No, Zheng Chongjing, the king of Rongkang County, who took the initiative to enter the criminal department because he reported his wife before, has not come out yet! The courtiers all felt that it was probably because of the involvement in the spy case, and King Xin was very careful and careful, for fear of leaking the news.

Most of the courtiers have been a little dizzy recently, things are piled up one after another, there are too many things to care about, the situation in the north, the requisition of grain and grass, the disputes between the military department and the household department, no matter which one is taken out, it is worth discussing, and other government affairs derived from these things, such as the conscription issue, such as the Gyeonggi grain price stability issue, such as the diplomatic issue with Rong Di, etc., etc., are also worth worrying about, and the ministers are busy and tired one by one, and no one has the leisure to care about other things.

Except for Lee Sang.

Everyone is very busy, and Li Xiang is also very busy, but he is busy, which does not prevent him from being furious about these things in front of him. He was the prime minister in charge of the military department, and Sun Shangshu was so bold that he began to fight against him openly, which seriously challenged Li Xiang's authority, and of course he was angry.

What made him even more angry was that Zheng Ying, the king of letters, didn't even say hello to him, and directly detained his student Zhao Zhiliang, which made it clear that he didn't give him face!

Li Xiang was angry and went to King Yi's mansion, he planned to discuss with King Yi how to retaliate against King Xin's faction and how to suppress the disobedient Sun Shangshu. To Li Xiang's surprise, Zheng Jin, the king of Yi, did not react much to Zhao Zhiliang's detention.
