"Naturally, I came to inquire about the progress of the case." The emperor turned to the hall and pulled a stool to sit down. Wu Zhidong's face immediately sank when he saw him so unruly, "Presumptuous, this is the official's mansion." Also, you grass people are so presumptuous in front of your own officials, you are so bold. ”

"You're presumptuous. Wu Zhidong, you have nothing to do with the laws of the court, and let those gangsters do evil, and their arrogance today is connived at by you, a dumb official. Young master, I want the old slave to say that the real culprit is Lord Wu, instead of looking for those gangsters, it is better to tie up Lord Wu now. He won't do anything practical about it. ”

Gonggong Li is a good person, and he can see Wu Zhidong's thoughts at a glance. Turning his head and deliberately saying this to the emperor. The emperor also saw his thoughts. Snorted coldly, "What you said makes sense, so let's do as you say." ”

"You ...... You are so bold, this official is an official of the imperial court. Do you say that you will catch it? If you dare to touch this official today, it will be the Prime Minister who will be offended, and when the time comes, you will not be able to eat and walk away. ”

"It turns out that the Prime Minister has such ability." The coldness in the emperor's eyes deepened a little. "Wu Zhidong, you are just a small city guard, who gave you such great ability to bend the law for personal gain, aren't you afraid that the above will ask for your head after knowing it."

This son also said that the official is just a mere defender, although it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven rarely goes out, even if the Son of Heaven goes out, the official thinks that he will not be so unlucky and will be bumped into. This official has been an official for six years, and he is more than half of his age, and he doesn't expect to be promoted step by step. Besides, this official is quite comfortable. Therefore, whether it is done well or not, the official does not care very much. ”

"In this way, Lord Wu is willing to let those gangsters go?" It's the first time the emperor has seen someone say that he is not motivated.

"Don't talk nonsense about this son, this official has never said such a thing." Wu Zhidong has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he still knows what to say and what not to say. "Those gangsters are naturally going to be arrested, but when to catch them, how to catch them, or the officials have the final say."

"It's a high-sounding thing, but it's not the same thing inside and out." The emperor snorted coldly, not wanting to meet him again to debate, turned his head and gave a look at Duke Li, Duke Li understood, stepped forward and scolded Wu Zhidong, "Lord Wu, you are so bold, you don't kneel down when you see the saint today, do you want to be beheaded?" ”

Holy today? Emperor? Wu Zhidong only felt that his brain was a, and he was surprised and shocked when he came back to his senses again, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he knelt on the ground in a panic, "Long live the five emperors, long live, long live, the lower officials have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and ask the emperor to atone for his sins." ”

"What is Lord Wu doing, didn't Lord Wu still look righteous just now, what did Lord Wu say just now, and he will guard this city for the rest of his life...... The Prime Minister is your backer? The emperor suddenly scolded, "Wu Zhidong, you are so bold,"

"The lower officials are guilty, and the lower officials are guilty." Wu Zhidong secretly screamed badly, and kowtowed desperately. The housekeeper finally came back to his senses, and knelt on the ground with a pop, he never expected that this noble man yesterday would be the current saint, his master had committed such a big thing, and the Wu family was afraid that it would be over.

The butler quickly weighed the pros and cons, lowered his head and said nothing. The maids in the room knelt down one after another, and the emperor reprimanded Wu Zhidong, and his face was a little better than just now, "I remember your head first, now you hurry up and let people catch Wang Dagui's gang, if you can't catch anyone today, you don't need to ask for your head." ”

"Yes, the lower officials will definitely arrest Wang Dagui and his gang to the emperor." Wu Zhidong crawled out of the house with a roll. The emperor sat at the table and took a deep breath, and when Gonggong Li saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward, "The emperor is angry, Wu Zhidong is just confused for a while, and when he arrests someone, you can do whatever you want." ”

"I'm angry that he is not the only official like Wu Zhidong, I can catch one today, but I don't know when I will find the next one. I feel guilty, the people trust me, but I found them such a parental official, I am really ashamed. ”

"Your Majesty ......" Gonggong Li hesitated, "The Prime Minister's side ......"

"Although the prime minister has relied on the old and sold the old over the years, but in the end, he is my mentor, if there is nothing wrong, I am not as quick as to move him." The emperor's thoughts, Gonggong Li can probably guess a little. When he heard this, he said no more. Wu Zhidong personally led people to arrest Wang Dagui, but found a group of them in the grass outside the city, and when he stepped forward to check, he saw that they were covered in injuries, and it seemed that the injuries were very serious, and they couldn't stand up.

"Come on, bring them back to the yamen." Wu Zhidong didn't care how they were hurt, she would only think about her head. The emperor said that if he couldn't catch someone, he would ask for his head, and now that they are injured, they have caught someone, and the emperor probably won't want his head.

The officials stepped forward and lifted them up and escorted them back to the yamen. After Wu Zhidong came back, he went directly to the front hall. The emperor was sitting at the table drinking tea, and Gonggong Li was standing aside to wait, and when he saw her coming back, he turned his head to look. Wu Zhidong knelt directly on the ground as soon as he entered the door, "Your Majesty, the people have been arrested." ”

"Bring them in."

After a while, the official escorted the gang in, Wang Dagui recognized the emperor at a glance, rushed up with a hideous face, and shouted while rushing, "Lao Tzu still thinks who it is, it turns out to be you, hurry up and release Lao Tzu, otherwise when Lao Tzu goes out, Lao Tzu will not be able to kill you." ”

"Presumptuous, do you know who you're talking to?" Wu Zhidong kicked Wang Dagui angrily, "This is our current emperor, Your Majesty, you dare to do something to the emperor, you don't want to die." ”

"Your Majesty?" Wang Dagui trembled with fright, "You said he was the emperor?" "How is it possible, she looks like the son of a big family, how can she be Your Majesty today. The emperor glanced at the injuries on his body as if he didn't see his surprise, and looked at Wu Zhidong dissatisfied, "What's going on?" ”

"The lower officials don't know, they were like this when the lower officials arrived." Wu Zhidong was afraid that the emperor would punish him, "Your Majesty, they have been doing evil in the area of Dongjie for many years, and it is normal to have one or two enemies. The wounds on their bodies should have been caused by the enemy. ”

Enemies? The emperor thought of Huang Fuxue, he remembered that he had said that he wanted revenge, could it be that she caused the injuries on their bodies? If it was really someone she found to do it, she really had to be impressed with her again. A woman does things so neatly and neatly, without dragging mud and water, even a man can do it like this.

"Your Majesty, what the lower officials said is the truth, and please ask the emperor to find out." Wu Zhidong was afraid that the emperor would not believe him, so he explained in a panic. The emperor glanced at the injuries on the bodies of several thugs again, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked a smile, "Okay, let's put them in prison first, and I will hand over the rest to Dali Temple to investigate." ”

Such a trivial matter, the emperor did not let him pass it over but handed it over to Dali Temple, Huang Shang wanted to do what she meant? Wu Zhidong panicked when he thought of this, "The emperor and the officials really know that they are wrong, so please ask the emperor to give the officials another chance." The lower official promises to be a good official......"

"You promise because I know what you've done today, and if I don't know, are you going to keep doing this?" The emperor looked disdainful, "Wu Zhidong, I gave you a chance last night, which you don't know and cherish." He got up and walked out with Gonggong Li, and when he came to the door, he stopped thinking of something, "By the way, before I can figure out how to punish you, you can help me investigate someone first." ”

"Your Majesty, please say that the lower officials will do their best." When Wu Zhidong heard this, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, and he secretly wanted to know that if the emperor's affairs were done well, maybe there would be a glimmer of life.

"Go to a unique restaurant and find a young woman."

Wu Zhidong was still waiting for the emperor to come down and say, who knew that the emperor turned around and left. Wu Zhidong recited this sentence several times carefully, and finally his face wanted to cry without tears, how can he check such a clue. A unique restaurant is the largest restaurant in this area, and the owner of the restaurant is Huangfu's house. But the girl the emperor said is the master or a guest in the restaurant, if the master is good, if it is a guest, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack?

The emperor didn't care how entangled Wu Zhidong was, and returned to the palace refreshed after finishing this matter, and when he was in the morning of the second day, the prime minister was inexplicably counted down by the emperor, if the first time the prime minister still felt strange, the second time the prime minister noticed something strange. On the way back, it rang for a long time and didn't figure out what was wrong.

"Father, do you say that there is something wrong with the people under my father, the emperor can't say it directly, so he can only tell his father in this way." The prime minister's eldest son suddenly spoke. When the prime minister heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense, and on the same day, he invited his cronies to chat in the study for an afternoon before letting them leave.

"Wu Zhidong, if they don't say it today, the old man will forget about this person. If it weren't for his dead face and his lack of leaving at the gate, the old man would not even give him an official position to guard the city. Who knows, he can't even defend the city, and now that he has caused such a big disaster, the old man was really miserable by her. ”

The prime minister wanted to punish him severely, and the eldest prince hurriedly persuaded when he heard it, "Father is slow, the emperor knows about this but is silent, which means that the emperor has his own plans, and his father can warn him, but it is best not to touch him for the time being." ”

The Prime Minister naturally understood the meaning of the eldest son's words, but when he thought of the remarks of those ministers in the court in the past two days, he still couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

"Okay, the old man will bypass him for the time being, and after a while, the old man will definitely make her look good." There was a pause, "Boss,." Tomorrow, you will go to Wu Zhidong in person and tell him to be honest with the old man recently, otherwise, the old man will never let him go. ”
