Zhao Ji was comforting and listening to the empress dowager's complaints there. King Zhao Zong of Jin suddenly said something that made people laugh and cry, and even showed some majesty in front of Tang Yan. After this disturbance, he could no longer bear it.

So he quickly issued an imperial edict, ordering Zhao Zong to investigate and deal with it immediately, and then ordered Yang Jian and Tang Yan to listen to the case, and then followed the Empress Dowager to take charge of Jingtai Palace, and instead kept An Ning and the others in Wansui Mountain for the time being.

All the great scholars from various departments, temples and halls were summoned to the Martial Arts Hall. Zhao Ji came out in a robe suit. The face after the bead crown was very ugly. He walked onto the imperial throne and his face turned pale. After shouting for a long time, Zhao Ji just nodded lightly, his eyes passed through the bead curtains and then fell on an official, saying, "Where is the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture?"

An official took the shift and said, "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Ji said coldly: "What happened to Pingxi Prince's Mansion is so big, why didn't Jingzhao Mansion notice it in advance? How did you, the prefect? ​​People come, take them down to Dali Temple to discuss the crime and demote them to Qiongzhou as the magistrate."

The prefect, the prefect, never thought that disaster would come from the sky, without even a sign. The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was well done, and it would take only a few years to join the six ministries, at least a chief official. Who knew that less than a year after taking office, he would be demoted to Qiongzhou to be a prosecutor. His bright future disappeared in the blink of an eye. At this time, his heart was filled with desolation, so he had to kowtow and say, "I thank you for your kindness." After that, he went out in a daze.

As soon as he arrived, he took a prefect to the attack. The ministers in the hall were solemn. Many people had not heard the news yet and didn't know what happened. Therefore, many people couldn't help looking at each other. Now there was no news at all. They suddenly issued an order to discuss the court and suddenly demoted the prefect to the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. What is the reason?

He was a little sensible. He heard the news before entering the palace. At this time, he was shocked. King Pingxi was still waiting for punishment. Why did such a thing happen to the Prince Pingxi Palace? Looking at His Majesty's angry look, it affected Yuchi. From this perspective, King Pingxi and the palace really broke the bones and tendons. It was a joke to say that all the holy family members were mourning, but it was still a genius.

Some fencemen suddenly became scheming and stood in the class blankly, fearing that they would anger Tianwei at this time.

No one dared to speak. Of course, Zhao Ji was the only one who spoke in this hall. Zhao Ji stood up from the chair and pointed his fingers excitedly at the two groups of civil and military officials below and said, "The King of Pingxi is a royal family, a royal relative, my right-hand man, and even the regent of the Western Xia. Who is it? Who is so brave that he dares to instigate people to sneak into the Pingxi Palace? I want to investigate thoroughly and never tolerate it. Anyone involved in the case will be punished. I govern the country with kindness and filial piety and support the scholars with kindness. This is how you serve your kindness?"

This time, it was equivalent to scolding all the officials, and everyone said with a bang: "I will die."

Zhao Ji snorted coldly: "Of course, there are people who die thousands of times. If there is no connection, I will not be wronged. If you all get up, why do you do on your knees?"

As he said that, Zhao Ji paced back and forth in the Golden Palace. After a while, he stopped and raised his hand to the sky and pointed: "Li Bangyan!"

Li Bangyan had long been lost in his heart. Now he didn't know whether this inexplicable assassination was directed and acted by King Pingxi or who took action. No matter what, Li Bangyan could not escape any connection.

Li Bangyan never expected that such a thing would happen at the forefront of the storm. He repeatedly warned his gangsters that he must keep it simple at this time and do not cause trouble. Who knew that this matter would still happen.

Li Bangyan was hesitating in his heart. It would be fine if Chen Ao directed and acted by himself. Since he had arrested so many survivors, he would still find out after a thorough investigation and no one could get it. But if someone really instructed him, he would still be his own party members. Chen Ao had not been convicted yet, and the Huaizhou Party would be afraid that there would be a catastrophe.

"Is it the Zheng family?" Li Bangyan complained. In order to clear the relationship a few days ago, he deliberately did not deal with the Zheng family. When Zheng Ke died, there would always be a few unsightly things that were dissatisfied. It might not be possible to send someone to assassinate him. If it was really the Zheng family, that would be bad.

Li Bangyan was full of thoughts and left the work obediently, knelt under the golden palace, and said, "I am here."

Zhao Ji slapped the imperial case fiercely and said, "You are the disciple's order, and I will issue an order to me. From now on, the three squads of fast officials from each yamen will investigate the city. At the foot of the emperor, someone dares to do such a thing. It can be seen that there are countless young people in Bianjing City, and they need to take some and deal with it more severely."

Li Bangyan hurriedly said: "Yes."

Many people thought to themselves that this incident really affected Yuchi, and they were not even at ease. They didn’t know who did it, and how many people they wanted to harm.

Zhao Ji continued: "The lieutenant of the Martial Arts School will be dispatched in shifts from now on to be responsible for guarding the residences of King Pingxi, King Jin, King Qi, King Yue and other people. No mistakes shall be made!"

Just as he was about to be excited, someone said outside: "Your Majesty, I pray for the Duke of the People's Republic of China to meet you."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the three words "Qiguo Duke", and Zhou Zheng of Qiguo Duke was still waiting for punishment in Dali Temple. Why did he suddenly meet at this time? Could it be...

In this assassination, the real benefit was King Pingxi. From His Majesty’s reversal of King Pingxi’s tone to the release of Duke Qi, I really don’t know who was so worried about eating lard that he actually took this bad strategy.

Not long after, Zhou Zheng walked in wearing a purple-gold python suit and a six-liang crown, saluted Zhao Ji, and shouted: "Long live my emperor."

Zhao Ji's face calmed down a little, and he sat back on the chair and said, "Zhou Aiqing is exempted from courtesy. I think of your hard work and great contributions in Taiyuan, and I am determined not to pursue your investigation. You will go home and think about your mistakes. In a month, I will entrust you with another duty."

There was no expression on Zhou Zheng's face. Although he released it, he heard that King Pingxi was locked and had already survived the disaster. At this time, he felt extremely ashamed. Originally, the elders should have been promoted to the younger generation, but who would have thought that he would have to rescue him. He was safe and secure, which made the younger generation in prison. At this time, he couldn't say anything, so he had to say, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After that, he retreated into the class and stood with Quartz. Quartz looked at him, and the two nodded slightly in tacit understanding.

This court meeting was really a bit scary. The official thunder was furious and scolded repeatedly. He talked endlessly for half an hour. The people below were frightened. Usually, the emperor had a good temperament, and everyone was a little neglected. Only then did he realize that it was unbearable to get angry with the emperor with good temperament. When Zhao Ji announced his retirement from the court, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and scattered.

Li Bangyan glanced at Zhou Zheng who was surrounded by congratulations, and said nothing, leaving the palace quickly. There was a sedan chair ready outside. He got into his sedan chair and said anxiously: "Go to Zheng Mansion, hurry!"

The assassination of the Prince of Pingxi Palace has spread all over the entire Bianjing City. No one had ever expected that before the imperial trial began, a sudden shocking case occurred. Now the entire Bianjing City is shocked, and there are all servants and imperial guards everywhere, searching for traces of sluts everywhere. For a moment, the ruffians who usually show off their power and power have become good people. The vicious people in the past have transformed themselves into extremely honest and respectful people.

Even the Yanei who was walking on the street suddenly disappeared. This time the palace was a big deal, not only that. It is said that the trial of Zongling Mansion had already started, and there were still many people involved. For example, when the trial was launched, someone saw the criminal who was escorted, couldn't help but say something. This person looked like Liu Sheng, and this person was also unlucky. He immediately rushed forward, knocked him over, and then mentioned him to testify.

For a moment, people were panic, but in panic, they were still in order. After all, there were not many people involved. Occasionally, some people were hit by the gun, so they deserved the luck.

Many people have already speculated that this time, I am afraid that King Pingxi will escape another disaster and kill Duke Zheng. Even if I am guilty of imperial court, I am afraid that at most it will be Guo to seize the title. With Shen Ao's ability to do things, it will not take three to five years, and I am afraid that it will soar into the sky again.

As for the Zheng family, some people are paying attention. Many people speculate that this assassination, who is the real murderer and who is the main messenger behind it. Even the market has been opened in the gambling file. The Zheng family has the lowest odds, and it is actually one for ten. It can be seen that even if the Zheng family wants to wash it, it cannot be removed from the problem.

At noon, another decree was issued in the palace, and the gates of each city were allowed to enter and not leave. This time, it really surprised that one slaughtered, and only in just one hour, three decrees were issued in a row. Judging from this meaning, it may not be possible to stop. People in this vortex were worried, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they were just so lively, and some people watched the show. It was rare to stage such a good show, so they naturally talked about it with relish. As for other things, they didn't have to worry.

A sedan chair did not enter through the middle gate in front, but instead found something else and carried it directly into the back gate. This is another house of the Zheng family, which is much more depressing than the previous high-gate mansion. The sedan chair passed through the woodshed, and the back house arrived at the front yard. Now the front yard is in full swing.

More than a dozen people from the Zheng family were talking in the front hall, but Zheng Erye did not come, and the rest, led by Zheng Chu, were talking nonsense.

"Brother, to be honest, did you call those people? You can't hide such a big thing even if you want to hide it. Do you have to wait until the disaster comes before you can tell me?"

"Don't you, when did I send someone? Those people have nothing to do with me. At the forefront of this storm, do you think you are a fool?" Zheng Chu had a bad temper, and when he heard someone suspicious of him, he was already furious.

Seeing that he was so rude, the other brothers were silent. Zheng Chu said, "Even if it was not our Zheng family, it is inevitable that people will be suspected of us as our Zheng family. Now that the noise is so big, everyone must make an idea."
