Fengqi Pavilion, third floor.

Steward Rose's boudoir.

"Bang, bang, bang."

A very rapid knock came into the room.

"Squeak."

The door slowly opened, and roses in bright dresses and heavy makeup walked out of it. Outside the door in front of her, there stood a somewhat pretty woman, who was sweating profusely and looking very anxious.

This is the lady-in-waiting at the gate, whom Rose recognizes.

"What happened?"

"Why are you so panicked?"

Rose frowned slightly, and asked her.

"Steward, it's not good."

"A group of officials from Dali Temple came and broke into Fengqi Pavilion. We can't stop it. ”

The maid looked anxious and hurriedly said to her.

"Sure enough, it came."

Hearing this, Rose nodded slightly.

She knew in her heart that Li Tang would not give up easily, but she didn't expect him to come so quickly.

"Let's go down and have a look."

Her gaze looked down, and there was already a commotion in the halls.

With a gloomy face, Rose walked briskly towards the top of the stairs.

Although there were many troublemakers in Fengqi Pavilion before, there had never been a person with a large group of people breaking into it like today.

Li Tang, you will pay for it!

*

In the lobby on the first floor.

Li Tang looked very proud.

The person who shouted at him, although Li Tang didn't take it seriously, it was not good to be too strong. Who knows? Is there some very important person involved behind him?

In Qingzhou City, there are many gentlemen, and there are countless petty officials of the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. It seems that these people are a bit insignificant, but behind them is quite involved, there are always some important ministers in the court, and the shadow of the emperor's relatives exists. If you are not careful, you will offend a group of high-ranking and powerful people.

The more people in high positions, the more they like to huddle together for warmth.

This is how the formation of parties for personal gain comes from.

"I'm sorry to disturb you Yaxing rashly."

"Dali Temple is handling a big case, and I ask you to be accommodating."

"If you insist on obstructing it? Then someone Li will not be half polite. ”

"Can you see clearly? This woman next to me is the personal palace maid of the queen's mother. ”

Although Dali Siqing is in a high position, it is not enough to intimidate these people with prominent backgrounds in the hall. Which of these swingers does not have any power behind them. It would be very troublesome for him to go and fight alone. Bringing the queen mother to block the gun for him is enough to deal with these people in front of him, and it can make them speechless.

"The Queen's Mother?"

The person who spoke out just now quickly sat back when he heard the words, and didn't dare to say a word more. He is not afraid of the people of Dali Temple, because he has not committed any crimes, so he is so fearless.

Just come to drink and listen to music, you can't catch me, can you?

But if he offends the queen in vain, then he really doesn't have the courage to do so. I am afraid that when he returns home, his father will probably whip him to death.

The hall suddenly became silent. But no one left early. They continued to sit at their tables, as if waiting for a good show to begin.

Seeing this scene, Li Tang grinned.

Fortunately, he had some foresight and mentioned the request for the queen's mother. Otherwise, it would really be difficult to level the dignitaries sitting here.

"Lord Li."

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up and called out to him.

"Yo."

"It's actually Song Shilang."

Looking towards the place where the voice came from, Li Tang could recognize the three people sitting at the table at a glance.

The person who got up to greet him was the left squire of the military department, Song Xuan. The adjutant of the military department, like him, is a positive third product. Li Tang doesn't have a lot of contact with him, because he belongs to the faction of the prince. But Song Xuan belongs to the faction of the three princes. The two sides fought each other and looked at each other very unpleasantly.

"Oh, it's all because Li is clumsy."

"I didn't see Commander Sun and Commander Wu here just now."

Li Tang walked over briskly and greeted the two of them.

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is the command department of the eastern, southern, western, northern, and central five cities, which is responsible for patrolling thieves in Qingzhou City, dredging streets and ditches, prisoners, fire prohibition and other matters.

It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

Each division has one commander and six products.

The deputy commander made four people, and he was seven products.

Sun Chen, Wu Jianlin.

The two of them are the commanders of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the South Division and the North Division.

Although the official position is not very large, the power in his hands is extremely heavy.

No one should be underestimated.

"Lord Li is polite."

The two of them hurriedly stood up and bowed to him.

Compared with Li Tang, the two of them are still one level behind after all.

"I don't know why Lord Li is so excited to come here?"

Song Xuan's eyes looked at Li Tang, and he didn't shy away from asking him bluntly.

Although he heard Li Tang say just now that this case is related to his queen mother, he is not very afraid. He is a confidant of the Dong family's faction, and behind him is Concubine Dong, as well as Dong's father, the governor of Zhili, and of course, the three princes.

Today, unlike in the past, the three princes are about to gain power, and everyone knows it.

"Don't hide it from Lord Song."

"Li came here to receive the queen's decree to arrest the suspected murderer of His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Tang's hand flickered slightly, and a golden scroll appeared.

Song Xuan was opposed to his faction, and Li Tang was afraid that he would block him. In desperation, he could only show his hole cards first, hoping that he could know how to advance and retreat.

"Oh?"

"It's actually the queen's mother?"

"Then ......, it's still important to be on business, Lord Li, please."

"Song and his two colleagues will have a few more drinks here."

When Song Xuan saw Empress Yizhi, his brows furrowed slightly, but it was fleeting. He arched his hand to Li Tang and said with a smile.

"That's fine, Li doesn't bother much."

"Lord Song, Commander Sun, Commander Wu, you have a good time drinking here."

"Wait until Li finishes his errand, and then have a few drinks with you."

Li Tang was very proud in his heart, as soon as the queen's decree came out, no one dared to stop it recklessly.

"Well said, well said."

Li Tang turned around and returned, a smile on his face. Since he returned to Qingzhou, many important ministers in the court have not taken him seriously at all. It's all because he is a person who climbs up from the ground, and he doesn't have much backing behind him. But he was very unwilling in his heart, so he tried to catch the line of the prince, and then he got better. Although the crown prince has died early at this moment, the power of the He family is still there, and it is still extraordinary. As long as you do the current errand and finally get the favor of the queen, then it is not a dream to go further.

"Guard the front and back doors to prevent suspects from absconding."

Li Tang commanded loudly to the group of officials.

"Yes."

A few of the servants quickly left, and ran quickly towards the back door.

His heart began to faintly look forward to it.

There was such a big commotion.

The steward should be coming soon, right?
