After Shi Qian left, Xiao Qiongzhi directly made an appointment with Prince Xuan, took all the evidence in his hand, and went to the Criminal Department first, so that the Criminal Department could send someone to raid Zhang's Mansion and Meng's Mansion as soon as possible.

However, since it was already the beginning of the war, it was off-duty time, and there was only one Xue Rong, the fifth-grade official in charge of the spies, in charge of the criminal department.

After Xiao Qiongzhi saw Xue Rong and asked about his identity, he didn't bother to tell him more, and directly told him that he found out that someone was going to rebel, and arranged for him to quickly send someone to call Wang Zhengrong over to deal with it.

Xue Rong was terrified.

Rebellion is a great sin to punish the nine clans.

In the past eight years of the Great Depression, the wind and rain have been smooth, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there has been no rebellion at all.

This made Xue Rong, who was the director of the Detective Department of the Criminal Department, a little slack, and did not pay much attention to this aspect of the movement.

Now, Xiao Qiongzhi found out such a thing, once it is found out, Xue Rong will be unlucky, suspected of dereliction of duty, it is easy to be angered, and it is likely to be severely punished.

In order to make meritorious contributions, Xue Rong immediately acted according to Xiao Qiongzhi's instructions, and at the same time served tea to Xiao Qiongzhi and Prince Xuan in person, and waited carefully.

And Xiao Qiongzhi actually didn't anger him at all.

After all, among the two mansions of Zhangfu and Mengfu, although Zhangfu has produced several generations of queens, it is not the queen of Daxiao, but the queen of Dongxingguo.

Although Zhang Ruoyao's grandfather Zhang Chun is the master of Da Xiao, he does not have the strength to rebel in his bones.

Because, the Taishi of Da Xiao is very different from the Taishi that Huaxia once had, in terms of power and direction.

The Taishi of Da Xiao literally refers to the teacher, the prince.

In the Great Xiao, there are many Taishi, mainly, there are many princely states in the Great Xiao.

According to the rules of the Great Xiao, when the crown prince of each vassal state reaches the age of six, the Emperor of the Great Xiao will personally select an official of the Ministry of Etiquette between the fifth and third grades to teach them the rules of etiquette.

The duration of the teaching, usually five years.

Once the teaching period is over, these princes who teach the princes of the vassal states must still return to serve in the organs of the Great Xiao Rite Department.

Therefore, basically every Taishi is basically a fifth-grade to third-grade official of the Ministry of Rites, and he does not have much real power in his hands, but he just has a good name.

For example, Zhang Chun, although he is a teacher, he is not the teacher of Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather Xiao Zhen's family.

Zhang Chun was only called Taishi because he was once the teacher of Yan Qing, the prince of Yan Kingdom.

Xiao Qiongzhi said this time that Meng Xiaoshuang and Zhang Ruoyao were rebelling, but they were just taking the opportunity to suppress them.

She really didn't want to waste too much energy dealing with the provocations of these stupid women.

At the noon gate, she read that Zhang Ruoyao had no obvious crime, and opened up Zhang Ruoyao's net and did not pursue her joint and several responsibility.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruoyao didn't know how to be grateful at all, and like Zhang Huitong, she began to try to put her to death without knowing whether she was alive or dead, so Zhang Ruoyao had no need to be forgiven by her again.

Soon, the people sent by Xue Rong called Wang Zhengrong over.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling, Your Royal Highness Prince Xuan, may I ask, who is going to rebel?" As soon as Wang Zhengrong saw Xiao Qiongzhi and Prince Xuan, he saluted first, and then asked very cautiously.

"Here's the thing......" Xiao Qiongzhi made a solemn look, and seriously explained the whole thing to Wang Zhengrong in detail.

After speaking, she also asked Zhou Meixing to hand over all the relevant evidence she brought over to Wang Zhengrong for verification.

After Wang Zhengrong read it, he immediately arranged for Xue Rong to take someone to raid Zhang's Mansion, arrest Zhang Ruotong and come over for questioning, and arranged for someone to find another Wupin official from the Criminal Department, take someone to raid Meng's Mansion, and arrest Meng Xiaoshuang to come over for questioning.

About half an hour later, Xue Rong came back in a hurry with Zhang Ruoyao and Zhang Ruoyao's two maid rings.

Among them, Zhang Ruoyao's appearance is just more embarrassed.

She hung her head down, carrying a big burden on her back, her hair looked a little messy, her clothes were a little dirty, and her hands were tied behind her back.

And Zhang Ruoyao's two maid rings are not the two she usually takes to Zhilan Academy.

Xiao Qiongzhi didn't know either.

They looked much more embarrassed than Zhang Ruoyao.

Not only did they each carry a large burden on their backs, their hands were tied behind their backs, their hair was basically scattered, their clothes were tattered and bloodstained, and they even had obvious knife wounds on their faces.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Zhong Ling, Her Royal Highness Prince Xuan, Lord Wang, when I took someone to Zhang's Mansion just now, I happened to find that Zhang Ruoyao was about to escape."

"The stakes are very high, so I grabbed Zhang Ruoyao first, sent him over, left the rest of the people, and continued to handle the case." As soon as Xue Rong entered the lobby of the Criminal Department, he pointed to Zhang Ruoyao and told everyone.

"Okay, you're doing well." Xiao Qiongzhi immediately glanced at Xue Rong approvingly.

Then, she asked curiously, "How did you find out that Zhang Ruoyao was about to escape?" What was she doing at the time? ”

"As soon as I brought people to Zhang's mansion, I asked people to block the front and back doors of Zhang's mansion, and then, I was not at ease, so I took a dozen people and walked around the outer wall, paying attention to observing whether there was a secret exit under the wall and near the wall within a radius of twenty meters."

"When I walked into an alley twenty meters away from the back door of Zhang's house, I happened to see Zhang Ruoyao, with the assistance of her two maids, slowly climbing down from a camphor tree in that alley.

"I immediately led the men to rush over, and after some fighting, I caught them."

"At the same time, I also jumped on the camphor tree, checked it, and found that seven meters above the camphor tree, there is a tree hole with a mechanism, from which you can go straight to Zhang's mansion." Xue Rong said excitedly and happily.

He went to raid Zhang's Mansion this time, for fear that something would go wrong and he would not be able to make meritorious contributions.

Fortunately, he has been in charge of the Detective Department for many years, and the detective level is still very strong, so he found Zhang Ruoyao escaping in time and caught Zhang Ruoyao, otherwise, he should have a big head.

"Hehe, Zhang Ruoyao, your sense of smell is quite sensitive, you can actually find out that something is wrong so quickly and run away secretly, hehe." Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't help but look at Zhang Ruoyao and said with a sneer.

"Whew!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruoyao suddenly raised her head, glanced at Xiao Qiongzhi contemptuously, and spat at Xiao Qiongzhi.

Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly flashed to the side, avoiding her spit.

However, in her heart, she was completely enraged because of her rampant spitting behavior.

"It seems that you also like to enjoy the taste of Ling Chi!" Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at her with a look that was more contemptuous than hers.

Then, she turned her head and instructed Wang Zhengrong: "Lord Wang, Zhang Ruoyao's crime of treason has been evidenced by the letter she wrote to Lou Qian, since she is in court and in front of everyone, she is still so rampant in front of me, so there is no need to try her again." ”

"Wait a minute, you just need to interrogate Meng Xiaoshuang well, and then directly convict Zhang Ruoyao based on Meng Xiaoshuang's confession and the letter she wrote to Lou Qian."
