Chapter 19 Petition for the Crown
"Lord Lu!"
Just when Lu Tong was blocked on the street, an old man in a scarlet official robe came over to say hello.
When Lu Tong saw the old man, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly got out of the car and said, "Lord Song!" ”
The old man in front of him is named Song Qi, and he is Honglu Siqing.
Song Qi looked at Lu Tong a little strangely and asked, "The son of Lord Lu's family has also been brought back to Zhenwusi?" ”
"No~"
Lu Tong was about to say no, but suddenly reacted.
Also brought back to the town of Takeshi!
This means that Song Qi's son was arrested by Zhen Wusi!
"How many people did Zhenwu arrest?"
He replied to the question.
"I don't know, look at it, Uncle Nanyang, Uncle Beiyuan, Uncle Ningqing, Marquis of Lanshan, tsk, even the people from the Chengguo Mansion are here." Song Qi pointed to the carriage on the street in front of him and said.
"It's good to come here, and now many people have gone to the imperial city to file a lawsuit."
"Sue the Emperor!" Lu Tong stiffened.
"That's right, it is said that the King of Xin'an County killed hundreds of people in the Incense Pavilion!" Song Qi said softly.
When Lu Tong heard this, his stiff body shuddered violently.
"Really killed!" He was a little incredulous.
Song Qi bowed slightly.
Lu Tong gasped, and a thousand thoughts suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Lord Song, this official has taken his leave first!"
Then, he arched his hand, turned around and hurried towards Zhenwu Division.
The rumor is wrong, the wave of arrows in the Incense Pavilion actually only killed more than 20 people, but more than 100 people were injured.
But whether it was more than 20 people or hundreds of people died, the matter was a big deal.
You must know that the people who can go to the Incense Pavilion to have fun are all from extraordinary backgrounds, and the arrows do not recognize people, so it is inevitable to shoot to death a few powerful children.
Among them, the most noble is Huayuan, the son of Linjiang Hou Huacheng.
Hua Yuan is the most beloved young son of Linjiang Hou Hua Cheng, now Hua Yuan was shot by the Zhen Wu Division, Hua Cheng naturally will not give up, after seeing Hua Yuan's corpse, he was full of resentment, and directly asked the servant to carry Hua Yuan's body to the imperial city gate to sue the emperor.
There was the first and the second, and the families of the other casualties also ran to the gate of the imperial city after receiving the news.
"We want to see the Holy One!"
"Zhen Wuji is committing murder in Kyoto, please Your Majesty administer justice for us."
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are wronged!"
"Your Majesty~~"
The mournful cries of thousands of people shook the imperial city and went straight through the gates.
In the face of such a scene, the Tianwu Guard Forbidden Army inside the Imperial City Gate had already closed the right gate of Chang'an tightly.
The generals on duty had a big headache, and if someone dared to make such a disturbance in front of the palace gate on weekdays, they would have arrested or dispersed them a long time ago. This is where the Son of Heaven rests, if you want to make trouble, don't you look at what place it is?
But at this moment, they saw so many people, many of whom were still court dignitaries or officials of the court, gathered in front of the palace gate, and they didn't dare to do anything if they were given a hundred dares.
But seeing so many people outside the door, he knelt down and said that he wanted to see Emperor Lihuang to sue the emperor. How dare the forbidden army of the imperial city open the door, they can only lock the palace door, and then hurriedly report the matter to Emperor Li.
In fact, they didn't need to report it, and the fact that thousands of people knocked in front of the gate of the imperial city had already alarmed Emperor Li.
At that time, Emperor Lihuang was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study of the Shengtian Palace, and the noise in front of the imperial city gate penetrated through the palace wall.
"What's wrong, why is it so noisy?" Lihuang sat at the desk and looked up and asked dissatisfiedly.
Several of the little eunuchs on duty looked at each other, they naturally didn't know what was going on.
Emperor Lihuang frowned slightly, and glanced at the little eunuch with dissatisfaction.
At this time, Gonggong Lu was still in Anwangfu and did not come back, otherwise with Gonggong Lu's meticulousness, he would have inquired about the matter in advance without him asking.
A few little eunuchs were not good at handling things, but the other eunuchs of the celebrant were quite clever.
In just a moment, they inquired about the affairs in front of the imperial city.
After listening to the report of the celebrant and eunuch, Emperor Lihuang was thoughtful.
"This kid is too reckless!"
"Go to King An's Mansion and call Gonggong Lu back, and send a decree to Duke Jingguo and Duke Rongguo, so that they can drive those people outside the door away!"
He commanded with a flat expression.
Zhen Wusi opened a killing ring in the Incense Pavilion, which is big and big, and small and small.
For Emperor Li, isn't it just a few people who died?
He has been sitting on the throne for more than forty years, and he has long been accustomed to seeing life and death, not to mention a few noble children, when he first ascended the throne, even the princes killed more than a dozen.
In Lihuang's eyes, this is just a trivial matter.
After the order, Emperor Li continued to deal with government affairs, and did not affect his mood in the slightest because of this matter.
……
Zhenwu Division.
Qin Wei sat on the main seat of the retreat hall, and Xiao Shunzi stood below and kept reporting: "Your Highness, the Chengguo Mansion sent someone to send a note and want us to release him." ”
As soon as Qin Wei returned to Zhenwusi, he received dozens of notes asking for release, as well as hundreds of greetings to visit.
Xiao Shunzi was already dry in the mouth just by reporting this.
"Oh! We also arrested the people of the Chengguo Mansion? Qin Wei asked.
Xiao Shunzi looked at the strip in his hand and said, "There are four people, the brother-in-law of the second son of the Chengguo Mansion, the uncle and grandfather of the third son, and the husband and son of the second lady!" ”
“……”
Qin Wei was speechless for a while.
What a mess of relatives this is!
"Where did the second lady's husband and son come from?"
"It's all from the Incense Pavilion!" Xiao Shunzi said.
Qin Wei blinked, this is interesting.
The father took his son to prostitute and was arrested by the Zhenwu Division, and the mother asked her mother's family to hand over a note to ask for someone!
This family is really lively enough.
"Hold it for now!"
The corner of Qin Wei's mouth smirked and said.
"And Wei Rong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also handed over a note, and the son of the Wei family is locked up in a cell!" Xiao Shunzi said again.
"Wei Rong's son! Continue to be locked up, and no one shall be released without the order of the king. Qin Wei said.
"And then there is the son of the Marquis of Lanshan."
"Let them go, let them pay the fine!"
Qin Wei said casually.
For most of the prostitutes, Qin Wei only received a symbolic fine, and did not plan to be imprisoned in Zhenwusi all the time.
Anyway, these prostitutes are not key people, and if they are released, they will be released.
However, such as the people of the Wei family and the Chengguo Mansion, Qin Wei plans to delay it again.
"By the way, why is there no movement in King An's Mansion?" Qin Wei suddenly remembered the big man behind the Incense Pavilion and asked.
"It is said that Gonggong Lu went to King An's Mansion today." Xiao Shunzi replied.
Qin Wei suddenly, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even stronger.
Don't think about it, he also knows that this is Emperor Lihuang helping him.
It's okay like this, without King An's Mansion, his pressure is a little less.
"Your Highness, Lord Yin Lu of Shuntian Mansion asks to see you!"
At this time, the iron hand walked into the hall to report.
"This old man must be looking for trouble!" Qin Wei said helplessly: "Please let him in." ”
If it was someone else, he could not see it, but Lu Tong had to see him.
Because of this operation, the Shuntian Mansion is a very important part, if Lu Tong does not cooperate, it will be difficult to deal with those little minions caught by the Zhenwu Division.
A moment later, Lu Tong hurriedly walked into the retreat hall.
"Your Royal Highness, you have made me miserable!"
As soon as he came in, he began to complain.
"Lord Lu, it's just a trivial matter, it's not like this!" Qin Wei chuckled.
"Little things! Do you know that they have already gone to the Imperial City to sue the Emperor! Lu Tong said with a sad face.
Although these things were all done by the Zhenwu Division, this is Kyoto, and it is the boundary under the jurisdiction of the Shuntian Mansion, and no matter what happens, the Shuntian Mansion will not be able to get rid of it.
"Sue the royal court! That's a good thing! Qin Wei's eyes lit up.
"Your Royal Highness, are you confused?" Lu Tong looked at him inexplicably.
Qin Wei smiled, "If Grandpa Huang gets angry, maybe he will remove me from the position of commander, and he won't kill me." ”
"You~~"
When Lu Tong heard this, he only felt a stream of cold blood rushing to his brain.
Perhaps in his opinion, Qin Wei must be very willing to be removed, after all, this Zhenwu Division is a powder keg, and if you sit on it, you may die at any time.
However, in fact, Qin Wei just talked casually, don't look at him making a lot of noise this time, but in fact it is not a big deal, at most, there are more people and forces involved.
Emperor Lihuang has reigned for forty-four years, and he has not experienced any winds and waves, which should not be a matter in his eyes.
Besides, isn't this exactly what Lihuang wants?
What was the purpose of Emperor Lihuang's establishment of the Zhenwu Division?
deters the forces of civil martial arts, and at the same time, it also wants to cut off the involvement between the court and the rivers and lakes.
The court and the rivers and lakes are involved, which is what Lihuang can't bear the most.
Qin Wei took a fancy to this point, so he would make a big move on the Incense Pavilion.
The Incense Pavilion was just an introduction, and the three major sects in the land of Kyoto and the Anwang Mansion were the real targets of this operation.
