In just two days, Xie Ying was able to walk on the ground.

Her injuries were not serious, but she had lost a lot of blood and was a little weak.

I don't know how the bandits on the mountains got the news, they knew that Qian Leopard was dead, and Ling Ju also fled with the treasure, so they rushed over one after another, swearing in front of Xie Ying, saying that they didn't know about Qian Leopard and Ling Ju, and hoped that Xie Ying could continue to return to the cottage after his injury.

Xie Ying did not express his position.

Lu Bu has been in a hurry for the past two days.

He felt that he and Master Bao had misestimated.

An Lengshuang may not know Xie Ying's whereabouts, and even if she does, she alone may not dare to come here.

Just when Lu Bu was about to give up, An Lengshuang really appeared.

At the same time, there were also several errand officials from Kaifeng Mansion.

An Lengshuang was surrounded in the courtyard.

"Tang Zhuangshi, Master Bao knows that you have a good heart, for fear that you will be temporarily soft-hearted, and the two of them can't do anything about it, so they will send villains to help." Zhan Zhao, who took the lead, said to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at An Lengshuang in front of him, and suddenly felt that what Zhan Zhao said made sense, if he really faced her alone, I am afraid it would be difficult to start.

"This girl knows that she is guilty, and she just wants to take back the property left by her father, so that she will never set foot in the rivers and lakes again, but she didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the government." When An Lengshuang spoke, he just looked at Lu Bu.

"Miss Ann should not be so pessimistic, the villain is the same as the girl, and she will also have to bear the responsibility and go on the road after she goes back." Lu Bu said.

"Lord Bao's arrest of Miss An this time is not because of the girl's crime, but because of the many sinners in the Anle Palace, and you know that you have been almost killed several times, and you are also very sympathetic. As long as the girl is willing to wait with me to go back, the adult will surely convict him as appropriate. Zhan Zhao said.

An Lengshuang smiled.

"I'm afraid that this bag of adults may not be able to punish this Zhao Ji."

"My family has always been not afraid of the powerful, and there has never been any corruption in Kaifeng Mansion, please rest assured that the girl is here." Zhan Zhao seemed patient.

"I hope it's as Zhan Guard's words." An Lengshuang said, "However, this girl still needs to go back to the cottage and retrieve the letters exchanged between Zhao Pet and Naxi Xia to prove her guilt." ”

Zhanzhao's eyes lit up.

"The girl has a heart. In this way, Zhanzhao is willing to go with the girl. ”

An Lengshuang looked at Lu Bu.

"Tang Zhuangshi is willing to go with this girl?"

Lu Bu thought about it and shook his head.

"The villain is also guilty, thanks to the girl's trust, but the beloved wife at home is still in the Chuzhou Mansion, the villain does not dare to delay, so he will take the first step and wait for the girl in the mansion."

An Lengshuang was naturally extremely disappointed with Lu Bu's answer, and didn't say anything more.

Under the leadership of Xie Ying, several errand officers and Lu Bu quickly broke up the mountain, captured a few bandits, and then hurried overnight to Chuzhou.

Half a month later, the capital:

Emperor Renzong met with Bao Zheng and Shen Pu alone in a side hall in the palace.

This is the second time Shen Pu has seen this emperor who is not a few years older than himself.

The first time was when he was named the prefect of Chuzhou, he came to thank him and resign, that time, Fei Caihe didn't see him, just stood behind the screen from afar.

And this time, Fei Caihe obtained the emperor's consent and sent a message that Shen Pu would go to her Caihe Palace to meet after meeting the emperor.

"Bao Aiqing, I heard that your trip to Chuzhou not only solved several backlog cases, but also brought my imperial uncle and cousin back to the capital, I don't know why?" The Emperor asked.

In fact, he had already heard about Zhao Ji and Zhao Pet, but he deliberately pretended not to know at all.

"Long live Qizuo, Wechen is aiming to assist Lord Shen in Chuzhou, and he has indeed captured several people who have committed serious crimes, but those are all the merits of Lord Shen, and Wechen has no merit." Bao Zheng replied.

"Aiqing is too modest." The emperor was delighted.

"As for why the two palace masters were brought back to the capital by Weichen, please take a look at these first." Bao Zheng took out the letters that An Lengshuang had brought from his pocket, and that Zhao Pet had exchanged with the Western Xia Kingdom.

A eunuch on duty came over and placed a thick wad of letters on the dragon case in front of the emperor.

Most of these letters were written by Zhao Pet on the mountain when An Lengshuang's father was alive.

The letter not only stated the reason why Zhao Chong colluded with the Western Xia Kingdom and the mountain bandits—the ambition to finally overthrow the emperor and subvert the Great Song Dynasty with the help of these two forces, but also many accounts between him and the Western Xia Kingdom. Over the years, the Western Xia Kingdom has been using the cottage of An Lengshuang and others as a breakthrough to subvert the Great Song Dynasty, waiting for the opportunity.

The Emperor's hand trembled slightly.

"Such a bold Zhao pet, I have always regarded his father and son as biological father and brother, and I don't want him to try to overthrow me behind my back?"

"Long live, this matter Wei Chen and Lord Shen also went through a lot of hardships to get this evidence. The old palace master Zhao Ji, in order to protect Zhao Chong, did not hesitate to kill several lives, because of his relationship with Wan Sui, although the local officials have heard of it, but they dare not speak out. In this matter, it is necessary to make an order to hand over these two people to the three law divisions for trial. ”

The three divisions of the Northern Song Dynasty are: the Criminal Department, the Yushitai, and the Dali Temple.

At the beginning, it was more of a continuation of the trial method of the late Tang Dynasty. It can be said that after the rulings of these three legal divisions, even the emperor himself is extremely difficult to overturn the case.

The Emperor hesitated for a moment.

"Quasi-play." Slammed the table, "I immediately issued an order to order the three law divisions to be tried, and it must not be tolerated." ”

He groaned for a moment.

"Aiqing has worked so hard, but what else do you have to say?"

"Long live Qi Song, the minister and Lord Shen also arrested several people related to this case together, and the minister thought that they could be handed over to Lord Shen together. Also, the Chuzhou Mansion secretly sent a letter to the old palace master, which really caused a lot of obstacles to Weichen, and I implore Banzai to issue a severe punishment. ”

The Emperor frowned.

"I remember that some time ago, Aiqing also strongly recommended this person as the prefect of Chuzhou, why, this time he colluded with Zhao Ji and others?"

"Wechen was confused for a while, and almost made a big mistake." Bao Zheng hurriedly said.

"Forget it, Aiqing is also loyal to me, I don't blame you."

"Long live thank you." Bao Zheng replied, but still refused to get up.

"Aiqing still has something?" The emperor was puzzled.

"Wechen is courageous, there is still something to tell."

"Tell me."

"That's what Tang Lu Bu did."

The emperor thought about it for a long time, but he only felt that the name was somewhat familiar,

"The person Aiqing said, but the person who was involved in Fei Yong and others last time because he was involved in the accidental injury of Fei Yong in prison? Remember that I have forgiven him for his innocence, why do you mention him again? ”

"Long live I don't know, this person killed him in anger because Yan Kai, the son of Yan Xizheng's family, the servant of the Criminal Department, repeatedly molested his wife. Yan Daren sent people to arrest him several times without success, but he was captured by Weichen, who thought that there was a reason for this person's murder, and it was really Yan Kai who repeatedly secretly sent people to commit murder, which would lead to the disaster of killing. Weichen implored Long Live to issue an order, and this person will be handed over to my Kaifeng Mansion for trial, so as to show justice. Master Bao said.

The emperor stared at Bao Zheng's black face.

What kind of person is this Tang Lu Bu, it is worth Bao Zheng's repeated pleas for him.

"Hooray." Shen Pu, who had been kneeling behind Lord Bao, interjected at this time and said, "This Tang Lu Bu has made great contributions in cracking the case of Zhao Pet this time, assisting in the capture of several mountain bandits, and the second prince was also protected by this person, so he was able to return to Beijing safely. ”

"I see." The Emperor nodded, "Quasi-play." ”
