When night fell, a group of horses came like rain, and before they arrived at the palace, a person rushed forward and shouted, "The prince is back to the palace, open the door of the mansion!" ”。 The two vermilion lacquer doors slowly opened, and the gold-lacquered beast-faced tin rings on the door collided on the door with a "ding-dong" sound, and the servants who had already been quick ran out of it to take the stiff rope. Li Zhaoguo crossed the threshold, threw the sword away, and entered the study in the back hall from the left-hand corridor.

Li Zhaoye, the eldest son of the emperor, was twenty-three years old, married his cousin Wu, and lived outside the mansion regulated by the emperor after marriage. Now living in this prince's street in addition to him are the second son of the emperor Li Zhaoshang and the third son of the emperor Li Zhaokang.

At the beginning of the construction of the Chinese Dynasty, a hundred wastes were waiting for the new, and all industries were waiting to be lifted. The eldest son of the emperor began to take over Ling Mingsi after a year of studying in each of the six ministries, a supervision department that was at the head of the six ministries but also outside the six ministries, and it was not under the control of any of the six ministries, but had the right to ask the six ministries to cooperate. In the previous dynasty of the Dafeng Dynasty, Ling Mingsi was mainly responsible for correcting hundreds of officials, which caused everyone who was an official at that time to be in danger! Nowadays, Emperor Jing is mainly used to protect the safety of the capital, especially for visiting foreign dynasties and other things. And Ling Mingsi is not an independent executive part, it is mainly a secret inspection and secret visit.

In the study, Ling Mingsi's two principals had been waiting in the room for a long time, one of them was fifty years old, his face was thin and his cheekbones were protruding, and his eyes were rolling slightly, looking shrewd and old-fashioned. The other person looked younger, afraid of forty, with a navy blue robe and a very dignified face. When the two saw the eldest prince coming in, they both got up to greet each other, and the eldest prince waved his hand and went straight to the topic.

"Judging from the clues on the report letter provided by Director Lu, the teahouse called "Jingshui Building" is indeed a place where information is exchanged, and the boss Li Ke was captured by our people on the way to Xiwangting and has been sent to the Criminal Department for detention, Director Lu can be interrogated as soon as possible to see if there are any other clues. After saying that, he thought about it again, and there was an idea that seemed to fly through his mind, and he couldn't remember it now.

"So, is this letter credible?" The shrewd and sophisticated middle-aged man was the first to ask questions, the report letter was found in his house, and if the letter was reliable information, the meritorious service .......

This shrewd old way is Lu Ronggang - Lu is the director, who has always been the prison director of the Criminal Department, and was sent by the emperor to Ling Mingsi as a third-grade director because of his expertise in interrogating prisoners. It is said that only the prisoners he has interrogated will confide in detail, not to mention confessions, testimony and the like, even his ancestors will explain clearly in the eighteenth generation, and he is quite famous among prisoners.

"Credible," the eldest prince said solemnly, "you can track down who threw the letter into your yard and see if you can dig up some more clues from the whistleblower." He drank the brewed chrysanthemum tea and said: "In addition, tomorrow a heavy reward document will be issued, if there is a suspicion of a foreign court, you can directly report it to Ling Mingsi, and the government will keep it secret and reward it heavily." ”

The two principals glanced at each other, Today is going to make a big move, turn these fine works in the capital upside down, and come to a complete cleanup!

"It's just the emperor's side?" In addition, Director Zhang reminded in a whisper. Such a big move, not to mention anything else, at least there will be people who are panicking, the eldest prince is young and vigorous, and I don't know if there is an emperor.

The eldest prince immediately lowered his face, stared at Master Zhang with his eyes, and asked in a gloomy voice: "Do you know why you are still a master of the fourth grade?" ”

Master Zhang is not afraid, he has a good understanding of the temperament of the eldest prince, although his expression is deep and his tone is angry, but he is not a ruthless person in the end. He is just insolent and radical not like his actual age. But he is his own master, and he asks himself like this, and it is indispensable to ask for sin.

"The lower official is guilty, he just wants to say something, and I hope His Highness doesn't care!"

The eldest prince didn't make a sound, silently drank another cup of tea, waved his hand and let them go down.

In fact, what Director Zhang said was right, when he arranged all this, what he was thinking about was not the development of this situation and how to deal with it? He thought of the girl who was half-kneeling in the lookout pavilion. They have a master-apprentice relationship, and if there is a problem with her master, then what about her? Will she be punished with the same crime, why is she a little nervous for some reason.

The eldest prince thought it was funny, obviously that the girl didn't look like his favorite little jasper, well-behaved and cute, but why did he always wave at her figure? He was a little confused, so what was it?

"Your Highness." Director Lu asked lightly.

The eldest prince has followed the saint since he was a child, and his father's strictness is not bad at all, even if he is out of his mind at this time, he will not change his face and say: "What else is the matter?" Immediately, he saw Director Zhang, who was still pleading, and gestured to Director Lu to help him up.

"The two principals are the pillars of Ling Mingsi, and whether my Zhaoye can clean up the capital and return the peace and tranquility of the capital depends on the two of them." Speaking of which, Corporal Lixian's etiquette was used, and the two principals retreated with a look of panic and anxiety, I am guilty, and I am guilty.

On the way, Director Zhang complained about Director Lu, but Director Zhang was silent.

The so-called soldier is fast, and after Director Lu received the job, he didn't return home, so he went directly to the prison to interrogate Li Ke.

The prison is under the control of the criminal department, so Lord Lu went to the prison hall in advance to express the meaning of the prince to the steward on duty. The people in charge are all smart people, knowing that the eldest prince has been deeply respected by the Holy Master and has Ling Mingsi, this prison is just a place for him to escort prisoners, they don't care much at all, as soon as they heard that they were going to be arraigned, they immediately asked the jailer to take people back, Director Lu understood what the eldest prince meant, and this matter could not be done by himself to let people know, so he just said hello to the steward and went directly to the heavenly prison to interrogate people.

The prison is a place that is dark and gloomy, and it doesn't see the light of day all day long, not to mention the rats and praying mantises, and now when they come at night, they cry and scream angrily, which makes people shudder, and they really don't dare to enter this kind of place without a little guts. Director Lu is okay, dealing with these people every day, compared to the bloody scene of torn skin and blurred blood when the prisoner was arraigned and tortured, this is really nothing.

Since ancient times, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have always shown their abnormal appearances, so they have never been afraid of ugly people. But when Director Lu saw the scar on Li Ke's face, he still swallowed in disgust, he was not afraid of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, but he was frightened by Li Ke's ugly face. However, he had seen too much, so he adjusted a lot, and still took out the posture of drinking tea and sat in front of the torture instrument.

"Tell me, who is your connector?" Before he came, there should have been someone under his command who had been routinely interrogated, and I was afraid that he had already been tortured, and he couldn't stand on his feet when he saw that people's spirits were not bad at all.

"Big ...... My lord, I was sent by you, and I am ...... I was wronged. The words were no longer clear, the words came out intermittently in the empty mouth, and the head drooped around for half a circle, and everyone felt the same. But Master Lu didn't follow it, what did he do? He is known for his "thunderous trial". The iron fan in his hand flicked onto Li Ke's face accurately and quickly, and with his "ah", a bloody light burst out, and at this time, in the dark interrogation room, Li Ke's face was newly marked and black, and the contrast between red and black made him faint.

There is no mercy in the prison, and it will not stop killing just because you fainted, a basin of dirty water was splashed, and Li Ke's swaying head turned twice.

"Tell me, who's the connector?" Master Lu's eyes widened, his hands grabbed his neck, and asked in a strange manner.

Li Ke felt that his death time had come, and what appeared in front of him was his wife and children, as well as the girl who grabbed him, or the sentence "Master Wuwei, Master Shanzhen, Xiaozhao Temple", he repeated the sentence inaudibly: "Xiaozhao Temple, Master Shanzhen, Master Wuwei." After that, he never woke up.

There is never a shortage of dead people in the prison, and people who die in exchange for valuable testimony are well-deserved, and Director Lu cleaned up his cold face and picked up the paperwork and looked at it. Very good! The location is there, the name of the person is also there, he turned around and left, and Li Ke, who had become dragged away, was already on the front line, almost about to see the Buddha.

Director Lu thought about going to the next step first, but the emperor's eldest son had already entered the palace, so he had to take the confession to Ling Mingsi's desk to sort out and wait for the arrival of the emperor's eldest son.

Early in the morning, Zhaoye went to the Qianqing Palace with a group of courtiers. Today's saint is in the prime of youth, and he is punctual and early at three o'clock every day, and the sun never sets. Zhao Ye had never been in charge of the Sixth Department before, but he just studied from the side, but he didn't need to go to the court, and now he was the commander of Ling Mingsi, and the early dynasty was going every day. It's just that it's not his turn to express his views on everything, most of the families in the capital are from the former dynasty, the so-called "iron-clad family, flowing water dynasty", on the governance of the world, they have a high-minded theory, Zhaoye does not bother to argue with them, the real truth is in the hands of people with real power.

Zhaoye didn't plan to report the arrest of the person first, the matter was not verified clearly, and even the source of the report letter had not been found, he was worried that his father would reprimand him, thinking that it would be better to wait for the matter to have an eyebrow. As a son of man, after the early dynasty, he went to Yufu Palace to say goodbye to his mother.

Ning Guifei Wu, born in the Pingjin Hou Wu family, has been favored for decades, and married to Qianqian as a side room when the current saint was still a prince. After ascending the throne today, the saint was named Concubine Ning, and the fifth son of the emperor, Li Zhaoqi, was born, and then promoted to Concubine Ning. It's just that after being named a concubine, Wu Shen came out of simplicity, and his favor was immediately reduced, and his second son was also very rare. Although Zhaoye does not have the respect of a prince, as the eldest son, he is now the commander of Ling Mingsi. There is no need to ask for another performance to visit my mother in the palace.
