On the long street, around Zhu Jinghong, it was quiet at the moment, and everyone was waiting for news from Jinyiwei.

In this way, about a quarter of an hour later, I saw Li Wenzhao leading Chen Yuntai and Liu Xianglian coming over.

The crisis has been lifted, all the people have been taken, Li Wenzhao was worried that Zhu Jinghong would ask about the situation, so he brought Liu Xianglian over.

After passing through many sentry posts, they stopped at a distance of three zhang from the sedan chair, and only Li Wenzhao was able to continue moving forward.

Unlike Chen Yuntai, who was standing obediently, Liu Xianglian lowered her head slightly at the moment and looked left and right, and saw that Zhu Jinghong was really exaggerating.

Not to mention the heavy protection outside, just around his sedan chair, there were dozens of heavily armored shield-wielding guards, like an iron bucket surrounding Zhu Jinghong in the middle.

After a few breaths, Li Wenzhao came out of the inside, his face was a little not good-looking, and Liu Xianglian guessed that he must have been scolded.

"The Thirteenth Master called you over!"

The so-called you are Chen Yuntai and Liu Xianglian, how dare they slack off at this moment.

With the leadership of Li Wenzhao, Chen Yuntai and the two appeared in front of the sedan chair, and at this moment the sedan curtain had been opened by the eunuchs from both sides, while Yinglian knelt in front of Zhu Jinghong.

"See the Thirteenth Master!"

Following Chen Yuntai's appearance, Liu Xianglian also knelt down, and he was also in awe of Zhu Jinghong.

"Liu Xianglian, let's meet again!"

Liu Xianglian didn't expect that the Thirteenth Master would remember her little person, so she lowered her head and replied: "It's an honor for the villain to meet the Thirteenth Master!" ”

"I heard that today, it was the thief you found?"

Generally speaking, if the thief is taken down today, Li Wenzhao will take the credit to himself, after all, he is the person in charge of the operation.

However, Zhu Jinghong asked a few more words, and he had to explain the situation in detail, and he did not dare to deceive in the slightest.

Therefore, Zhu Jinghong knew that today was the thief discovered by Liu Xianglian, and then Chen Yuntai commanded and arrested him on the spot.

"The villain happened to be passing by today, and inadvertently spied the thief's conspiracy, and then told this Lord Chen!"

After listening to Liu Xianglian's answer, Zhu Jinghong asked again: "Or did you carry the knife alone, sneak into the second floor without avoiding safety, and take down the thief?" ”

"The villain is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

Sitting in the sedan chair, Zhu Jinghong asked: "If the gunpowder is ignited, you will end up with no bones, why do you want to go up in person?" ”

"The thirteenth master is kind to the villain, and when he learns that the thief wants to harm the thirteenth master, how can the villain sit idly by...... is broken bones, and the villain will not let them harm the thirteenth master! ”

Hearing Liu Xianglian's high-sounding words, Zhu Jinghong didn't believe it, he didn't think that the Hou family had much kindness to this person that time.

In fact, it is not uncommon for him to have this kind of thought, and everyone who has been in a high position for a long time will feel that the person who is attentive has ulterior motives.

Just when Li Wenzhao thought that this young man surnamed Liu was going to be rewarded, he heard Zhu Jinghong say: "I am kind to you, you saved me today, so to speak...... Between you and me? ”

The meaning of Liangqing is that Liu Xianglian should do it for nothing today.

Although Zhu Jinghong's words are surprising, strictly speaking, there is no problem at all, after all, after repaying the favor, it is indeed clear.

Liu Xianglian did not answer positively, but said: "The villain will always remember the kindness of the thirteenth master!" ”

His words made Zhu Jinghong more and more satisfied, and secretly said that this person is brave and strategic, and he can indeed receive his command.

"That's good...... You're good to go! Zhu Jinghong said calmly.

Hearing that she let herself leave like this, Liu Xianglian couldn't help but feel lost in her heart, but at this moment he didn't dare to disobey Zhu Jinghong's words.

"Yes...... The villain retires! ”

Watching Liu Xianglian leave, Li Wenzhao and the others widened their eyes, did they really let people leave like this?

In the minds of the two of them, Zhu Jinghong has always had clear rewards and punishments, and he will not let others suffer, but today it is not reflected at all.

Of course, the two of them didn't have the heart to think much at this moment, because Zhu Jinghong's gaze had already swept over.

"Is it the White Lotus Sect that is causing trouble?"

"Yes!" Li Wenzhao replied with a hook on his waist.

"Very few people know about my leaving the palace, how did the people of the White Lotus Sect know about it? Can you still ambush here in advance? ”

Of course, Li Wenzhao can't answer this question.

"The White Lotus Sect traitors in the capital, you are in charge of the inventory full-time, and a large number of them were suppressed on the Holy Birthday Festival, how long did it take for them to pop up again...... If it is spread out, how will your merits be judged? ”

Although there was an accident in the Shengshou Festival to suppress the thieves, we were generally a complete success of the task, Li Wenzhao showed his big face in the brocade guard, and was also praised by the emperor.

Not surprisingly, as long as there is a vacancy in the four thousand households in the capital, he Li Wenzhao will be corrected immediately.

But now, only a month has passed since the Holy Birthday Festival, and there have been thieves from the White Lotus Sect plotting to assassinate the prince, and they are in the extreme way of lighting gunpowder on the street.

Once such a thing spreads, it will be a great blow to Li Wenzhao's actual effect in suppressing thieves, and the so-called credit will be diluted.

"It's a dereliction of duty ......"

Li Wenzhao has been PUA to the point that he has no excuse, so he can only bow his head and admit his mistake and accept punishment.

"Don't make a noise about this matter, but you must investigate it strictly after you go down!" Zhu Jinghong's tone was serious.

"Yes...... The minister will not be dishonored! ”

"Whoever is found in the middle of the day, tell me if you deceive...... I will punish you severely! ”

Obviously, Zhu Jinghong was suspicious, and he felt that this matter was not simple, and it might be related to his brothers.

It was precisely because his brother might be involved that he ordered Li Wenzhao so harshly, in order to get a clear answer.

Of course, the truth is that he thinks too much, and today is just the White Lotus Sect's revenge action.

"The minister will strictly verify it!"

instructed Li Wenzhao, Zhu Jinghong rewarded Chen Yuntai again, and then he ordered the team to set off.

The sedan chair shook again, and Zhu Jinghong himself was still thinking about it, but he caught a glimpse of Yinglian's expression that something was wrong.

"Girl, are you uncomfortable?"

Seeing Yinglian shaking her head, Zhu Jinghong asked again: "Then why do you look like this?" ”

Yinglian raised her head slightly and said, "Thirteenth Master, you were so fierce just now!" ”

No matter how kind Zhu Jinghong is on weekdays, he is a dignified prince, and the huge identity gap will make most people look up.

This also means that when he does show his fangs and claws, even just picking his teeth scares many people.

"Scaring you?" Zhu Jinghong smiled.

Yinglian really nodded, there are not many honest girls like her.

"Then tonight, I will comfort you!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was laughing again, Yinglian's anxiety really dissipated, this is the thirteenth master she is familiar with.

"Thirteenth Master, that person surnamed Liu, you really don't want to reward him for anything?"

Obviously, in Yinglian's view, or in the eyes of most people at the moment, Zhu Jinghong and Liu Xianglian are not clear.

Anyway, Liu Xianglian really saved him today, and Zhu Jinghong really couldn't say anything if he didn't give him a reward.

"I haven't seen you before......"

"How about not seeing me?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile.

"I've never seen you so stingy!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong haha, and then ordered outside the sedan chair: "Deng An...... Send a few clever people to follow Liu Xianglian to see how he reacts, and if you have any complaints, come and report me! ”

If Liu Xianglian has grievances, it means that this person saving him today really contains utilitarianism, so even if he wants to use it, he has to guard against it.

That's right, no matter what Liu Xianglian's reaction is, Zhu Jinghong will promote him, the key is where to put him.

Whether it is a foot cloth or a heart jacket, it all depends on Liu Xianglian's next reaction.
