Chapter 669 Clues ([-])

"Disagreeing with the law? Hey, then, Mr. Su wants to argue with the king about the law? Well, it's enough for the king to fulfill you. After all, which law does the king's order violate? "

As soon as Su Keji's strong words came out, all the guards of the royal palace who were waiting on the side suddenly changed their faces and glared at them, but Hong Qing didn't have any special reaction, and shrugged calmly. Putting his shoulders down, he asked back in a leisurely manner.

"My lord, Zhao Fengzhao's corruption of ink is rare since the founding of our dynasty. The case is serious. If we don't try it clearly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it to the world. The case is not yet clear, and the lord took the suspect away without authorization. If a little If there is a mistake, the responsibility is heavy, and I ask the prince to think twice."

Su Keji was obviously ready to go all out, no matter how angry the eyes of the palace guards beside him were, he bowed his body and spoke impassionedly.

"Responsibility? You, Su Keji, dare to mention these two words to this king. As a governor, you should know the law. This king came to try the case according to the order. This case will no longer be under the jurisdiction of Shanxi. Before the king speaks, someone dares to lynch, what is the intention, huh?"

Hong Qing glanced at Su Keji coldly, and reprimanded him mercilessly.

"My lord Haihan, the offender didn't know about this matter, it must have been caused by the subordinates and others eager to ask for credit. The offender will definitely investigate thoroughly and give an explanation to the lord. However, important criminals like Zhao Fengzhao should be imprisoned according to the law. , the prince took it away without authorization, and the prisoner thought it was inappropriate!"

Su Keji was determined and refused to let him go, even though he was repeatedly reprimanded by Hong Qing, he still did not change his original intention, and refused to agree to let him go.

"Heh, it's a good one to ask for credit. If I don't come today, Zhao Fengzhao will be beaten into a trick, or tortured to death? This king is too lazy to argue with me. If you want to talk about responsibility, I will take responsibility." The purpose is to supervise the handling of this case, so why do you need me to teach the king how to act, and still not back down!"

Hong Qing was never easy to talk to, seeing Su Keji pestering her so much, Dang even became angry, her complexion darkened, and her voice was sombre, she let out a slap.

"My lord, you can't..."

The reason why Su Keji insisted on not letting him go was not because he was really afraid that Zhao Fengzhao would reveal something very confidential, but because he wanted to use Zhao Fengzhao to restrain Hongqing from handling the case. Because of this, he refused to give in easily Even in the face of Hong Qing's anger, Su Keji still insisted on dissuading her.

"Step aside!"

Before Su Keji finished speaking, Li Minxing, who had been extremely impatient with him for a long time, couldn't stand it any longer. He took a big step and pushed Su Keji aside without any politeness. Those who supported Zhao Fengzhao The guards of the royal palace took advantage of the situation and walked out of the interrogation room, and left with Zhao Fengzhao.

"Go back to the station!"

Since the things that should be done have been done, Hong Qing didn't even bother to look at Su Keji again, and didn't care about his embarrassing stare. Nothing else, with the evidence of arresting the current situation in hand, Hong Qing Qing was not afraid at all that Su Keji would file an imperial lawsuit with her. Besides, Hong Qing didn't expect Su Keji to provide any useful assistance in investigating the case, so she didn't need to care about Su Keji's feelings. After giving an order without expression, he turned around, and surrounded by a group of guards, he walked out of the interrogation room proudly, and went back to the post by himself...

"My lord, Zhao Fengzhao is awake."

Even if you are an imperial envoy, welcoming and entertaining are also indispensable. Although Hongqing never accepted the invitation to the banquet, she couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the local officials, and continued to meet for a day and a half. I can't help being a little tired, and I just sent the magistrate of Xinzhou away, it was almost noon, my stomach was already empty, and when I was thinking about passing on the meal, I saw Li Minxing hurried over with a smile on his face. Reported with a hint of joy.

"Oh? Go and invite Master He Tuo to come and take a look with me."

Hearing that Zhao Fengzhao had woken up, Hong Qing's spirit immediately lifted, but he was not in a hurry to see him, but gave an order in a deep voice.

"twitter!"

Since Hongqing had an order, Li Minxing didn't dare to be negligent, so he hastily complied and went to summon He Tao without mentioning it.

"Ouch, ouch, take it easy, take it easy, ouch..."

Zhao Fengzhao, who had been in a coma for a day and a night, finally woke up. To be precise, he woke up from the pain, nothing else. The servant girl who invited to take care of him was already slack, but he couldn't hold back that this guy had too many wounds, no matter how lightly he was, it was inevitable that he would not take care of it, the pain made Zhao Fengzhao tremble all over and sigh.

"Your Highness is here!"

Just when Zhao Fengzhao was screaming miserably, he heard a shout from outside the door, and immediately saw Hong Qing leading several guards walking in from outside.

"Officer..."

Seeing that Hong Qing had arrived, Zhao Fengzhao couldn't care about the pain all over his body, he straightened his back and hurried to get out of bed to greet him.

"Yu Xi (Zhao Fengzhao's character) doesn't need to be too polite, just lie down and talk."

Since Hong Qing wanted to attract the Zhao family's family, she did not hesitate to show her demeanor as a virtuous corporal. Before Zhao Fengzhao straightened up, she strode to the bedside, stretched out her hand, and pressed Zhao Fengzhao's shoulder, warmly gave an order.

"My lord, criminal, criminal..."

Zhao Fengzhao's popularity in Shanxi's official circles is not good, and he has few colleagues who communicate frequently, and he doesn't have much contact with local rich gentry, and his family is far away in Changzhou, so he hasn't received him. There is no food delivery person, and he has to be tortured every day. It can be said that he has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. Hearing Hongqing's kind comfort at this moment, Dang even was so moved that he couldn't help crying.

"This king is here to supervise the case of Taiyuan, some circumstances need to be explained in detail by Yu Xi, if you are physically able to bear it, then let's talk about it from the beginning."

In order to deal with the case in Taiyuan, Hong Qing had put in a lot of effort to collect information long before coming to Taiyuan. She knew that although Zhao Fengzhao was a bit willful and impulsive, he was not bad in nature and offended others. Although he has done a lot of things, but when it comes to being greedy for ink, it is definitely not enough——In order to verify this point, Hongqing used not only the "sharp knife" of the Taiyuan sub-rudder, but also the power of the Jinling sub-rudder. When I got up, I had already checked the roots of the Zhao family in Wujin. Hong Qing knew more about the situation of the Zhao family than the father and son of the Zhao family. How could he not know that Zhao Fengzhao's so-called corruption was nothing at all. It's just that he fell into the trap of others, and he was very considerate of the grievances in his heart, and after letting him cry for a while, he said in a gentle voice.

"My lord, don't worry, the prisoner will be able to hold on. This matter has to start from Qingming. That day was a holiday, and the prisoner didn't go out. He just drank alone at the mansion. The governor's office sent someone to send an official letter. It was said that the Western Expedition was imminent, and the military expenditure was worrying, so additional donations had to be levied. It was not difficult. By May 25th, the prisoner had roughly collected all the donations due and stored them in the warehouse. He planned to hand them over to the governor's office the next day, but he suddenly received an official letter from the governor's office on that day. He said that Fenshui should be on guard against leaks, and summer is approaching, and mountain torrents must be prevented. The prisoner dared not ignore it, so he led his subordinate officials to patrol the river, and made arrangements for repairs. He did not return to Taiyuan until May [-]. Before the man untied the saddle, the governor of Su had led his people to rush over, saying that the prisoner Qiao Zhao acted and distributed donations without authorization, and wanted the prisoner to hand over the stolen goods he had obtained. The donation documents are missing, and there is only less than ten thousand taels of silver in the small warehouse. The criminals can't explain it, so..."

Zhao Fengzhao was a Jinshi in high school, so his brain is not bad, and his memory is also good. Although it has been more than two months, it does not prevent him from recounting the cause and effect of the whole incident in detail, and he has not even missed some small details. .

"Well, Yu Xi, do you still remember the name and appearance of the person who sent the donation documents?"

Hong Qing quietly listened to Zhao Fengzhao's exposition, and did not interrupt his long speech, until he had stated all the events before and after, then nodded calmly, and asked in a deep voice.

"This..., Lord Haihan, the prisoner did not ask the person's name, but he did meet this person in the governor's yamen. He was a team leader in the governor's yamen. His surname seemed to be Song, but what was his name? The official is not clear, but the official letter is not fake, it has the governor's seal and signature on it."

Hearing Hong Qing's question, Zhao Fengzhao couldn't help but froze for a moment, frowning and thinking for a while, then answered cautiously.

"After Yu Xi received this official letter, has he checked it with the governor's office, or discussed it with his colleagues in the province?"

Hearing Zhao Fengzhao's words, Hong Qing's eyes immediately flashed a gleam, but he still didn't comment, but asked another question with a calm face.

"Returning to the prince, the prisoner is eager to do things. He has never checked the matter with the governor's office, nor has he consulted with his colleagues in the province. Now that I think about it, the reason why the prisoner fell into the current situation is really self-inflicted. Alas, if the prisoner can be careful, he won't be in such a catastrophe, the prisoner is ashamed."

Zhao Fengzhao is not stupid, he has reached such a position, how can he not know that he has fallen into the trap of others, he is really ashamed and guilty in his heart, his eyes turned red, and he sighed deeply.

"Well, let's do this first. If Yu Xi thinks of any important clues, he can report it directly to the king, so that he can heal his wounds. I will take care of everything outside."

Seeing that Zhao Fengzhao couldn't get any more information, Hong Qing didn't ask any more questions, and after soothing her with a warm voice, she led a group of people out of the room...
