Zhao Suo was leaning on the pillow, looking very calm, but people who knew him well knew that this man's anger had already accumulated to a considerable level, and maybe he only needed a little excuse.

will explode.

The ministers in the room held their breaths one by one, looking at their noses and their hearts. No one wanted to be the unlucky guy targeted by the officials.

The first person on the left is Xia Jie. Below him sits Luo Song, who is involved in political affairs. Below him, sits Xiao Yu, the envoy of the third minister.

The first person on the right is Chen Gui. Next to him sits Li Guang, the Privy Councilor with the same signature. Next to Li Guang, sits Zhao Jing, King of Chu.

The king of Jing, Zhao Zhe, is now unlucky to have fallen, but the king of Chu, Zhao Jing, is very popular. Although he does not have any specific duties, he is a follower of the government, which allows him to get involved in everything.

In the middle of the room, Cui Ang, the censor, stood.

In this room, there should also be a seat for the Yushi Zhongcheng, but this time the Yushitai mishandled the matter and Long Yan was furious, so naturally the seat was gone.

The current situation is more like a three-chamber trial.

"Tell me, how is the investigation going?" Zhao Suo's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, sounding sinister.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cui Ang.

Cui Ang, who stood with his head bowed, looked around, the corners of his mouth were slightly twitching, and he seemed to be smiling, but if he looked closely, he looked distressed.

"The officials, the Yushitai and the officials on the Gyeonggi Road have investigated several times together, and now it is basically confirmed that the person who did it is definitely not a common man in the world, but must be someone with a military background. These, from the escorting soldiers at the scene and the names of the Yushitai criminals,

It can be easily inferred based on the circumstances of his death. The way a master in the army kills is completely different from the way ordinary men in the world kill."

"Cui Zhongcheng, be careful!" Chen Gui snorted coldly: "After the preliminary investigation, your people have already investigated the troops around Gyeonggi Road and Bianliang. Many generals have reported to me. I found out

Did something happen? During this period, none of the armies made any changes, right? Since there were no changes, your conclusion is very problematic."

"Ms. Chen, I said they had a military background, but I didn't say they were in the current army!" Cui Ang turned his head and looked at Chen Gui and said: "It is also routine to check the troops on Jingji Road and Bianliang nearby, so that they can get rid of suspicion.

I think this is good."

Chen Gui sneered: "If you waste time on this, I'm afraid the real murderer will have already gone to the ends of the earth."

"They won't run away." Cui Ang said: "Not only won't they run away, but they will also come to Beijing!"

"What do you mean by this?" Zhao Suo sat up straight, "Don't hide it. If you have anything to say, say it openly."

"Yes, officials!" Cui Ang said: "I had some thoughts on the escort this time. The escorts were divided into two groups, one of which was ten Wutai criminals led by Huo Huai and five

Ten soldiers, and the second batch consists of other masters who are hiding on one side. Because the generals were kidnapped and killed last time, I feel that this time the enemy might still kill and silence them, so I also want to hook them out."

Chen Gui roared: "It's true that we caught it, but the fish was too big and the bait was eaten. Cui Zhongcheng, if this happens, you should inform the military in advance, and the military will put up a trap outside."

Open the net, can these audacious thugs still escape?"

Cui Ang remained silent, but his expression seemed to tell everyone that I don't trust you.

"Go on!" Zhao Suo waved his hand impatiently. His subordinates were fighting each other in the ring, which was what he liked to see the most. The reason why he insisted on keeping Cui Ang against all opinions was because he wanted to borrow

Cui Ang's hand was used to suppress his ambitious second son. On the other hand, Cui Ang was also used to contain the ministers of the DPRK.

Cui Ang has now become the object of disgust for all the ministers in the court. Apart from trying his best to be loyal to him and do things for him, he basically has no choice. Once he no longer supports him, several people in this room will probably

I will immediately pounce on him and tear this guy to pieces.

"It's just that I didn't expect that these people were so bold!" Cui Ang said: "They actually attacked a post station in advance and robbed dozens of horses at that station. Then they first lured out the minister's back men, and then these cavalry went out and defeated them in one fell swoop.

All the escorts and ambushers robbed the prisoner and fled."

"Are you sure you are from the military?" Zhao Suo asked.

"Confirmed. They did not kill everyone at the scene. Not only did the soldiers survive, but the escorting censor Huo Huaike also survived." Cui Ang said; "The officials, if these people didn't have special status, how could they let Huo Huai go?"

?”

"They have done such a heinous thing, what does it matter whether they kill Huo Huai or not?"

"Because these people have different identities, this is due to their inertia!" Cui Ang said: "So Huo Huai was just knocked unconscious."

"Then where do these people come from?" Zhao Suo leaned forward and looked at Cui Ang.

"Officials have a military background, but they are not under the control of the imperial court. Moreover, they are so powerful. In the impression of the ministers, only the border troops have this ability!" Cui Ang said.

"The elite border troops were all wiped out in the battle with the Liao people last year. The few remaining defeated generals were almost killed by Cui Zhongcheng. How could such an organized team exist? Even if it existed,

How could it appear in the Gyeonggi area?" Chen Gui mocked sarcastically.

No matter how thick-skinned Cui Ang was, his face was flushed at this moment, staring at Chen Gui, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

However, Chu King Zhao Jing smiled and said leisurely: "Ms. Chen is right, the border troops are almost dead, and it is impossible to do such a thing again. But Cui Zhongcheng's inference is not unreasonable. In fact, there is still such a thing

With such ability, it’s not impossible to have such elite people under your command, and they’re all in Bianliang!”

He didn't say who he was, but everyone in the room knew who he was talking about.

Chen Gui immediately shut his mouth.

Several other people even turned their heads in other directions, not looking at Zhao Suo at all.

Zhao Suo's face was extremely gloomy.

Yes, besides that evildoer, who else has this ability?

Xiao Ding took ten cavalry and selected one hundred cavalry from the Fourth Army.

Not long ago, a small guard with only twenty-five infantry defeated nearly a hundred infantry of the Fourth Army.

The elite frontier army should originally be loyal to their own official family, but who are they loyal to now?

Ma Xing actually went so far as to invite the villain to inspect Hebei, and Xiao Ding, the commander-in-chief of the northwest march, even went so far as to appeal for King Jing's grievances.

Do all of these people want to force a woman to have a baby?

Do they want to force themselves to make that villain the prince before they give up?

Xia Jie stood up, bowed to Zhao Suo and said: "The officials don't have any evidence. They are all conjectures, conjectures, and inferences. They all seem to be, as if, roughly. How can this be convincing? Cui Zhongcheng

,Is this how the Yushitai handles cases?"

"As long as the official Xu Chen goes to investigate, I might be able to produce evidence right away." Cui Ang stared at Xia Jie, the chief minister, without fear.

He now understands that in Hebei, this Xia Zhiyan has been waiting to step on his shoulders, return to Bianliang, and regain the position of chief minister!

"That's nonsense!" Xia Jie was furious. He turned to look at Zhao Suo and said, "Officials do random things without evidence. Once such a bad precedent is set, everyone will be in danger in the future. The Yushitai must handle cases in a reasonable and reasonable manner.

According to the evidence, everyone must be convinced. Even ordinary people should do this, not to mention the status of the person involved now. Cui Ang has sinister intentions, alienating the family members of the Tian family, and wants to get into the court and turmoil. Please handle this matter.

Wait for the villain."

Chen Gui also stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Guan family, at present, the Liao people are rampant, troubles are constantly happening on the border, and Hebei is in turmoil. At this time, the court should unite sincerely and work hard to deal with the outside world, instead of causing trouble and causing the court to

If there is turmoil, all officials will be in danger."

The two top officials of the East and West mansions looked at each other. Although they did not want to deal with each other, Xia Jie was too strong and wanted to reach out to the West mansion, so Chen Gui naturally hated him. But when it came to dealing with Cui Ang, the two of them had a tacit understanding.

This person must be suppressed.

In fact, if we suppress him now, we are suppressing the emperor.

The court can be reorganized to a limited extent, but it must not go into a major war.

Sure enough, the heads of the East and West governments all opposed it. Even if Zhao Suo wanted to support Cui Ang, he couldn't say anything. He waved his hand and said, "Cui Zhongcheng is also eager to solve the case. The two husbands don't need to be too harsh on him. And two times in a row.

This time, the villains robbed and killed prisoners and silenced them. They were really unscrupulous and extremely vicious. They have already appeared in Gyeonggi Province. Will they appear next time in Bianliang City? How can people feel at ease if they are not caught?

?”

"Then let's start by arresting these people. When a person passes by, he or she will leave a trace. How can one commit such a big case without leaving any traces? Cui Zhongcheng, if you catch these people and obtain a confession,

If there is any action at that time, I will definitely support it with all my strength!" Xia Jie turned to look at Cui Ang: "But before that, without evidence, no nonsense will be allowed."

Cui Ang took a deep breath and bowed his hands to Xia Jie helplessly.

Zhao Suo felt very upset.

The senior officials who controlled the fate of the Song Dynasty said goodbye and left, but Zhao Suo still sat there for a long time without moving. After a long while, he knocked on the table, and an old eunuch bowed and walked in from the door.

"Quan Jin, what do you think of this matter?"

"The officials and the Imperial City Department have sorted out the two attacks on prisoners in detail. From the old slave's point of view, these two cases were not done by a group of people." The old eunuch had no expression on his face.

, the tone is calm, without the slightest emotion.

"Did different people do it? The criminals in these two cases were actually targeting the second child." Zhao Suo said in a deep voice.

"In the first case, those border army generals were killed. Although they used military equipment, when they did it, there was no military style. It was entirely the methods of people in the world." The old eunuch continued: "But this time,

It’s completely military style.”

"In other words, Cui Ang did not tell the truth completely. He wanted to mislead me and make me think that both things were done by one person!"

The old eunuch said nothing.

"Quan Jin, tell me about these two cases, which one was probably committed by the second child?"

Looking up at the thoughtful officials, the old eunuch said: "If one of these two cases must have been committed by His Highness King Jing, then it must be the one that robbed Qin Kai in the second year."

"Why?"

"Few people died!" said the old eunuch: "And the prisoners were kidnapped, not silenced on the spot. In fact, silence is the easiest thing to do. His Highness King Jing is very affectionate, especially towards his opponents."

"Do you think King Jing is good?"

"Old slave, I always tell the truth." The old eunuch bowed again.

Zhao Suo waved his hand: "Go and check, where did Qin Kai go? How many forces does Lao Er still have? Check whether there are any troops who only follow Lao Er's orders?"

The old eunuch responded in a low voice and walked backwards out of the room.

A cart loaded with grain and vegetables drove in from the side door of the palace. Every three days, there would be a cart like this delivering goods to the palace, and the delivery people were all the same people, even the horses.

They are all those horses. Those who monitor the palace have long been accustomed to these faces.

But this time, it is obviously different.

If these people are brave enough and lift the carriage at this moment, they will find a person hiding in the middle of the fully loaded carriage.

And this person is none other than the protagonist in the robberies that have been making a lot of noise these days, Qin Kai.

King Jing Zhao Zhe stared at Qin Kai standing in front of him with his mouth open.

"You, you..." Zhao Zhe turned to look at Hong Yuan.

Hong Yuan knelt down and said, "Your Highness, it was me who did it. I found someone to handle the matter and rescued Brother Qin."

"Who has such great ability?"

"What I'm looking for is Sun Guaizi, the biggest gang leader in Bianliang, and I paid him two hundred thousand taels of silver," Hong Yuan said.

"Where did you get two hundred thousand taels of silver?" King Jing Zhao Zhe thought it was incredible.

"I paid for it!" A clear voice sounded at the door of the room. King Jing looked up and saw his princess Lu Lin. "Your Majesty, we can't just sit back and wait for death. How can you, a lifelong hero, let Cui Ang, a traitor, bow his head and admit defeat?

?”

"Princess, do you know how big this matter is?" Zhao Zhe murmured.

"How big can it be?" Lu Lin sneered: "Mr. Qin fell into their hands, is the matter a small matter? Mr. Hong told me, if those things are known to Cui Ang, Your Majesty, do you really want to go to Jiangnan?"

Do you want to go to the temple to copy scriptures?"

"Those things are all for the country and the people, and everything can be explained clearly."

"I can't explain it, Your Majesty!" Hong Yuan said flatly: "Cui Ang also served as the pacifier of Hebei Road. He must have heard about these things and knew that he could severely damage the Prince with these things, so he went to arrest Brother Qin.

"

"Okay, the thing has been done, let's do it!" Zhao Zhe closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Next, we need to arrange an absolutely safe place for Mr. Qin. The palace is not good, and there are not many spies inside and outside the palace now.

."

"Your Majesty, I have made arrangements outside." Hong Yuan said.

"Can you rest assured?"

"Yes!" Hong Yuan said, "Does the prince know who is going to save brother Qin this time?"

"Who? Isn't it someone who is the gang leader's grandson? I've heard about this person too."

"It is indeed Sun Guaizi's. This person's name is He Sheng, but his surname was Qin before, and his name was Qin Min. His father's name is Qin Kuan!" Hong Yuan lowered his voice.
