Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 390 390. Think twice

In this way, all the civil and military officials, following the little eunuch who led the way, walked slowly towards Fengtian Hall, gathering together in twos and threes, talking quietly.

Suddenly, Zhu Xiuyuan was keenly aware that there were some slightly hostile glances directed at him, and he glanced at him a few times.

Zhu Xiuyuan discovered immediately that those people were also military generals, the generals of Jinwu Guard or Yulin Guard.

Zhu Xiuyuan clearly remembered that the two sides formed a small gap over the differences between the teams that fielded new weapons.

"Brother Zhu, have you offended them?" Liu Wencai also discovered this.

"Well, regarding the issue of new weapons, we have a problem."

Zhu Xiuyuan felt a little helpless. No matter how you behave in life, you will always offend some villains.

Helpless, inevitable!

"Brother Zhu, don't worry. Although they hold the title of 'General', they don't have any titles themselves. And Brother Zhu is a Jiangcheng uncle after all, so they don't dare to act rashly."

Liu Wencai said.

"Well, I didn't take them seriously either..."

……

Finally, all the civil and military officials entered the Fengtian Palace.

Civil and military officials are divided into two columns, left and right, with clear lines.

On the military attache's side, the first person on the list is naturally King Zhongshan, who is known as the "Pillar".

Then came King Zhenze, and several other princes, and then came Zhu Xiuyuan, the uncle of Jiang Cheng.

After Zhu Xiuyuan, there are military commanders without titles.

Liu Wencai took advantage of King Zhenze and stood behind Zhu Xiuyuan, followed by the Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, and the generals, generals, and deputy generals of the Beijing Camp.

After entering the Fengtian Hall, no one dared to whisper anymore. Everyone stood with their hands down, not even moving or coughing.

All civil and military officials waited for about a quarter of an hour.

Chen Huangcai appeared, supported by Concubine You.

The two sat on the dragon chair and phoenix chair respectively, receiving the worship of all civil and military officials.

After paying homage, all the ministers returned to their seats.

"What the hell does this happen?"

Emperor Chen's tone was very irritable, as if he was very unhappy about going to court to discuss matters at this time.

According to his "schedule", now should be the time to drink and have fun with his beloved concubine!

But I am burdened by these "chores"...

"Why is there such chaos in the capital? Not only the Jinwu Guards and Yulin Guards were dispatched, but even the detectives from the Prison Department were involved?"

"Also, why was the Jiangning County government office burned down? Where did the man in black come from? The capital city is at the feet of the emperor, but there are people who are so arrogant and regard the imperial court as nothing!"

The more Emperor Chen spoke, the angrier he became. He stood up and glared at His Highness and his ministers.

Chen Huang's body was emptied out by the wine and sex, and his energy was slightly lacking. But at this moment, when Chen Huang was angry, his deterrence was still full, and no one dared to move.

The Prime Minister Li Zhong, the head of the civil service, stood motionless at the head of the civil service, standing with his hands down, like a wooden stake.

King Zhongshan, the leader of the generals, did not speak either.

Emperor Chen got angry, glared at His Highness and his ministers, and asked a lot of questions.

However, no one came out to answer.

Chen Huang became even more angry.

"What's going on? Does no one know?"

Chen Huang asked again.

Zhu Xiuyuan, who was among the military commanders, gritted his teeth, stepped forward resolutely, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

When Emperor Chen saw Zhu Xiuyuan, his expression suddenly softened and his tone became much softer.

"Blessings, Ai Qing? What are you guilty of?" "Your Majesty, if I think about it, I'm afraid that the cause of this whole thing is because of Shen Lei Fang."

"Shenleifang?"

Chen Huang raised his eyebrows.

"Shenleifang is the lifeblood of our Chen country. It contains important weapons of the country and cannot be lost. Zhu Aiqing, how does this matter have anything to do with Shenleifang?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this afternoon, I was patrolling around the Shenleifang. Suddenly someone came to report that the Jinwu Guards stationed at the Shenleifang had caught a man who was sneaky and broke into the Shenleifang without permission. "

"Jin Wuwei believed that this person was a spy from another country, intending to steal the secrets of Shenleifang, so he captured this person. This person's identity is not simple, but he is the son of the county magistrate of Jiangning County, named Zhang Ke."

"Later I heard that Jin Wuwei led people to break into the house of Jiangning County Yamen and arrested Zhang Ke's family. I guess... the Jiangning County magistrate must have done it carefully from another country."

Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking.

"Hmm... As Zhu Aiqing said, what Jin Wuwei did is quite reasonable. Shenleifang is related to our Chen country's important weapon, and there is no room for failure. I would rather kill someone by mistake than let one go!"

Chen Huang frowned and nodded.

"It's reasonable and reasonable to arrest Zhang Ke's family from other countries. Then why would there be men in black burning down the county government office?"

Chen Huang asked again.

"Um... Your Majesty, I'm afraid I have to ask Master Kou, the young master of the Criminal Department of the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhu Xiuyuan "betrayed" Shao Sikou and returned to the rank of military commander. His mission was completed.

"Where is the young Sikou?" Chen Huang asked.

"Your Majesty, here I am!"

The young Sikou stepped out from the ranks of civil servants and bowed in salute.

"Tell me, why was the Jiangning County government office burned down by men in black? Where did those men in black come from? Why did your detective from the Prison Department get involved?"

"By the way, your Prison Department arrested more than a thousand people in succession. What crimes did they commit?"

Chen Huang put his hands behind his back and asked loudly.

Emperor Chen "lived in the palace for a long time" and only heard about the results of the turmoil in the capital, but did not know the reasons, so this court meeting was held.

If there was no court meeting, Emperor Chen only had to order an investigation, and he would eventually find out. However, Emperor Chen did not investigate in private.

Instead, it would be faster to summon all the civil and military officials to confront each other in court.

This is equivalent to the function of holding a "meeting meeting" in later generations.

"Your Majesty, I was sitting in the Prison Department this afternoon, sorting out... files, when I suddenly received a report that the Jinwu Guards had captured a spy from another country who was trying to steal the secrets of Shenleifang."

"Because the identity of this foreign craftsman is not simple, he is the son of the magistrate of Jiangning County. I had a premonition that this might be a shocking case, so I gathered people and prepared to take over the case."

"However, before setting off, I received a secret report that the Jiangning County government office may contain some incriminating evidence, implicating many people!"

In the entire Fengtian Palace, no one noticed that when Shao Sikou said the word "secret report", the brows of the Prime Minister Li Zhong twitched slightly...

"In other words, anyone who comes into contact with the Jiangning County magistrate may be a spy from another country, and the evidence retained in the county government's back house will be a strong basis for following the clues!" Shaosikou continued.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chen was stunned for a moment: "In other words, it is possible that all the more than a thousand people arrested by your Prison Department...were spies from other countries?"

"Your Majesty, this is indeed possible!"

This news was like a bombshell thrown into the court.

All the civil and military officials in the palace were discussing and whispering to each other for the first time, but the majority were complaining about their grievances.

"Your Majesty, please take a closer look. Young Sikou is deceiving the public with his monstrous words. How could there be so many elaborate works from other countries!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
