"Ten years ago...... You mean the Lin Li dispute?"

The Emperor said with a deep groan.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Lin Li dispute ten years ago that almost plunged the entire imperial capital into chaos started from Canglan City. At the beginning of the storm, it was a very inconspicuous branch of the Lin family in Canglan City, which had a direct conflict of interests with the local Canglan Sword Sect in Canglan City. ”

Zhuang Bieli took a deep breath, and then said: "I don't know much about the specific process, I only know that there was an accident in the preliminary test, and among the senior high school students in Xichen High School, a relatively talented wave of people all died, resulting in Xichen High School in that college entrance examination, not only did not a single candidate who was admitted to a key university appear, but also paid sky-high fees for this, to the parents of those students. ”

"Of course I remember it. A group of people are lawless, competing interests, and they dare to involve the future of the empire, they don't know whether they are alive or dead!"

The Emperor said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you were furious at that time, and the Lin and Li families did make more and more trouble because of the matter, so Your Majesty, you even took a heavy hand and suppressed the Lin and Li families a lot, and finally prevented the further expansion of the situation. The Lin and Li families suffered heavy losses at the same time, and there was no winner in the battle between the two. ”

Zhuang Bieli nodded and continued: "But at the same time, due to the influence of the Lin and Li families, Your Majesty has a lot of concerns, and you originally wanted to thoroughly investigate the problem of the Canglan City Thorough Test, but in the end, it was also unsuccessful.

"This time, you think it might be the same problem?"

The Emperor looked at Zhuang Bieli and asked.

"I don't know, but I can't deny it, it's possible. ”

Zhuang said goodbye.

"I know, I'll take care of it myself. After a while, I asked Cao Deying to send a letter to Lu Yuan, asking him to personally intervene in the case. ”

The Emperor gave a clear answer.

Zhuang Beili bowed again and said goodbye again.

Until Zhuang Bieli walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor's frowning brows did not loosen.

After thinking for a few minutes, he suddenly spoke: "Speaking of which, a few days ago, Lu Yuan summoned me to the imperial capital and told me a very interesting thing, the corpse of the Supervision Bureau of Moxi Province was not effective in supervising the administrative personnel in the province, Lu Yuan pleaded guilty, and directly reported the corresponding case to the Imperial Capital Supervision Department to deal with it, in order to show his innocence, you should have heard of this matter, right?"

The old eunuch standing on the side hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave also knows." And I heard about ...... The poorly supervised official involved is Qiu Pengzu, the mayor of Canglan City. ”

"Yes, Qiu Pengzu, the mayor of an ordinary fourth-tier city, can actually make a provincial supervision bureau not hesitate to violate its own work functions and escort it, why? If the provincial supervision bureau can't even supervise the mayors of the fourth-tier cities under its command, but has become the umbrella of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, then what's the use of me still wanting this supervision department?

The Emperor snorted coldly again.

"Your Majesty is angry, I think this is just an example, the whole empire, the vast majority of public officials, are still loyal to their duties. ”

The old eunuch said very earnestly.

"I'm not angry, I just think it's ridiculous, I don't have great wisdom, I am constantly clever, but such a person is in a high position in the empire, and I can't even see what is most important in the empire. Since I ascended the throne, the most unbearable thing is to use high school juniors as bargaining chips and targets of intrigues. But there are always people who touch my bottom line again and again!"

"This time, it shouldn't be that simple. Qiu Pengzu has a constant connection with the incident ten years ago. According to the news fed back by Lu Yuan, in the Moxixing Provincial Supervision Bureau, the person who acted as a protective umbrella for Qiu Pengzu was also deeply involved in the incident ten years ago. ”

"So at this juncture, something happened to them all of a sudden, even if it seemed like it was just a coincidence, I don't believe there was no driving force behind it. It's just that they just had an accident, and the students died in the Canglan City test, and I am curious if there is a deeper connection between them. ”

The Emperor stood up from his dragon chair and began to pace in the Qinzheng Hall with his hands behind his back.

The old eunuch always maintained a standing posture and did not make a sound, so as not to disturb the emperor's thinking.

After a while, the emperor stopped, turned his head to look at the old eunuch, and asked, "Is there any progress in the investigation of that mysterious force?"

"This ...... Your Majesty, I'm sorry. They are too secretive to do anything on weekdays. If it weren't for the incident that happened in Canglan City ten years ago, which caused too much trouble and attracted your attention, Your Majesty, and it happened that the mysterious force was operating near Canglan City at that time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to discover the existence of that mysterious force until now. ”

The old eunuch said ashamedly.

"In other words, for ten years, the investigation of that mysterious force has always stagnated?"

"Yes...... Your Majesty, the only thing that has some speculation is that the person of that mysterious force is likely to have a clear identity in our empire, and ...... I'm afraid the status will not be low. Only in this way can they perfectly conceal themselves and make our investigation unlawful. ”

The old eunuch bowed and said.

"Forget it, I can't blame you, I let Lu Yuan sit in Moxi Province before, and over the years, he has also found nothing. If in another two years, he still has no achievements, I will have to transfer him back to the center, so as not to continue to waste time in Moxi Province. ”

The emperor sighed, and then said, "You personally send a communication to Lu Yuan, and tell Lu Yuan about Ye Ning's matter in detail." Let Lu Yuan say hello to Canglan City first, and say that I am the oracle, if anyone dares to fake public affairs in this matter, and arbitrarily judge the case without investigating it clearly, then I will use their heads to give the entire empire a wake-up call!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The old eunuch hurriedly bowed down.

I can also hear that my own emperor is a little angry. It's just that who the anger is directed at is unknown for the time being.

"In addition, let Lu Yuan pass, first pass my dictation in place as soon as possible, so that Canglan City has some fear, and then Lu Yuan will personally go to the town, until the end of this mapping test, and then leave, I want to see, there is Lu Yuan over there, who else dares to make small moves. Give Lu Yuan the authority to make decisions on the spot, if the officials of Canglan City are too much, I will allow him to be killed without asking!"

The Emperor said fiercely.

The old eunuch was slightly frightened, and hurriedly responded again.
