The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 605 Subsequent Progress
With the wine and meat brought by the Minzhuang sent by the county magistrate of Xianghe County, and the five hundred elites brought by Xuancheng Colonel Guo Zhenlu, the route was naturally smooth, and Chen Zhao's team also arrived at Jinmenwei safely.

But this incident also attracted the attention of the emperor, the cabinet, and the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

In the important land of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, there are actually soldiers who dare to rob and kill high-ranking officials of the imperial court?

If no one organizes it behind the scenes, no one will believe it!
Check, must check!
Soon, news came one after another.

Whether it was the Ministry of Punishment, the Supervisor of Rituals, or the Dragon Guard and Jin Yiwei, they all found relevant clues from various channels.

The emperor got the news from Sha Jinrui immediately.

"Liu Yidao, the housekeeper of Liu Hailong, the uncle of Dingyuan, raised a woman in Xicheng. This woman had an affair with a rogue. The rogue lived on the money given by the woman. Yesterday, the rogue boasted about it when he was gambling in Nancheng. He said that his mother-in-law gave him 50 taels of silver. It is said that Liu Yidao asked someone to kill an official who had offended their young master on the way. He dug out 3000 taels from the 300 taels that he had a relationship with, and gave the woman another 100 taels... ..."

The news was heard by the people in the casino, who took it as a bragging anecdote to the guard who came to check.

After the Jin Yiwei was rectified, the fighting power was very strong, and he reported the news as soon as he got the news, so Zhang Heqing immediately reported the news to Sha Jinrui. Lao Sha was able to secure his position in the capital hall, thanks to Chen Zhao who went to the Jinshi examination, and the ability of his subordinates They are all from Chen Zhao's people, so they have always attached great importance to Chen Zhao's affairs.

So the emperor got the news immediately.

"Uncle Dingyuan's Liu family made great achievements in the war during the reign of the Supreme Emperor. After I ascended the throne, I let him be raised in Beijing. I didn't expect this family to act unscrupulously. There was the incident of Liu Rujian robbing people's daughters before, and now he is doing such evil things. , Originally, I didn’t want to get a reputation for treating heroes harshly, but now it has become like this, Xia Shouzhong, the people from the Yumajian are going tonight, and they will be questioned!”

"The slave obeys the order."

Xia Shouzhong was about to kowtow and leave when Emperor Xiaode suddenly stretched out his hand again.

"Wait a minute! How dare a mere Liu family offend Chen Zhao? How about this? If the order continues, it's better to lower the Fang family to nobility and only ask Liu Rujian."

"Yes!"

Xia Shouzhong left.

At this time, only the emperor, Dai Quan, and Long Jianwei were in the study room, all commanding envoy Tong Lin.

"Tong Lin, this matter is not that simple, you have to tighten inside and loose outside, check carefully to see who is behind Liu Hailong!"

"The minister obeys the order."

……

In the study room of Nanwang Mansion, Nanwang Crown Prince Xia Yongchang was walking around with his hands behind his back, a sad look on his face.

And Nanwang Xia Ruofeng sat quietly without raising his eyelids.

Sword Master Ye Gucheng also sat peacefully, without expression on his face.

After walking back and forth for a long time, Xia Yongchang suddenly stopped and looked at Xia Ruofeng: "Father..."

"It's okay, just keep walking, you can sit alone without getting dizzy."

Xia Ruofeng acted as if nothing had happened.

"Father, we have failed in this matter..."

"Oh, so what?"

"If it fails, don't you have to worry about that surnamed Chen again?"

"Hehe, you are still too young. Look at your master, then look at you, what kind of swordsmanship and qigong do you practice?" Xia Ruofeng said indifferently.

Xia Yongchang's face turned red, and he looked at Ye Gucheng who was still calm, like an old monk in meditation, and then took a deep breath.

"Yongchang, you have to remember that before the matter is over, don't talk about failure lightly. If you say failure lightly, then the matter is over!" Xia Ruofeng said lightly, "This matter was originally a matter of Dingyuan Boliu's family. What relationship do we have? Anyway, that Liu Rujian will definitely die, so we need to do things?"

"Father, you know that I don't care about this Liu Rujian. I'm worried about scaring the snake and making Chen Zhao pay attention to the capital. Let's..."

"Joke!" Xia Ruofeng waved his hand, "That man came from Jinmen, and the person in charge of contacting Dingyuanbo's mansion, even if he wanted to pay attention, Chen Zhao would only notice this, even if he wanted to dig the back, it's not Such an easy matter is beyond his reach."

"But Your Majesty has Jinyi Guards, Dragon Guards..." Xia Yongchang said.

"Jinyi Guards? Dragon Guards?" Xia Ruofeng laughed and looked at Ye Gucheng: "Master Ye, what do you think of the situation?"

"The situation is under the control of the prince. If Jinyiwei and Longjianwei take any action, they will be backlashed immediately." Ye Gucheng said lightly.

"Okay, I'll just wait for good news from Master Ye."

……

Dingyuanbo Mansion in the capital city is full of guests on weekdays.

Because of his meritorious service in the grassland, the two generations of emperors have been favored, but today, everything has changed.

"...Uncle Dingyuan, Liu Hailong cut down the rank of the noble, and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors at home...Liu Rujian was so vicious and rebellious, he did such unimaginable things, he was sentenced to prison, and handed over to a judge..."

The eunuch Xuanzhi recited the imperial edict expressionlessly, and he could see that the bodies of several people kneeling behind Liu Hailong began to tremble.

A lower rank, from an uncle to a son, but no one naively thinks that this is the end. This demotion means that the royal family no longer has any affection for you, and all kinds of bad things will happen next.

After the eunuch finished announcing the decree, the Liu family wanted to thank him for accepting the decree. The eunuch disgustedly handed the imperial decree to Uncle Ding Yuan. Seeing what Uncle Ding Yuan wanted to say, the eunuch ignored him and turned to go out.

The gate of Uncle Dingyuan's Mansion opened, and the streets outside were filled with soldiers dressed as imperial eunuchs. The leader was Baihu, the eunuch who was sent to punish the eunuchs. Seeing the eunuch who had announced the decree come out, Baihu led people and swarmed in.

With the influx of soldiers, Uncle Dingyuan began to scream and cry, but Uncle Dingyuan's family knelt there and did not dare to move.

Uncle Dingyuan Liu Hailong knelt there, but said in a cold voice:
"Liu Rujian, if you still consider yourself a member of the Liu family, just take that medicine. You bastard has done so many crimes to the Liu family. When you were born, you should have been thrown into the pond and drowned."

There was no blood on Liu Rujian's face, and his whole body was shaking like a pendulum. He was holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and the knuckles of his fingers had turned white.

"……Fast food!!"

"...You bastard, what you did, don't let everyone..."

The people kneeling over there are all brothers and uncles of this Liu Rujian, but everyone is gnashing their teeth to let Liu Rujian take this medicine. When the words came, he straightened up stiffly, and tried hard to unplug the small porcelain bottle, trying to send it to his mouth, but he couldn't get it to his mouth no matter what.

The Royal Horse Inspector Baihu walked over with a frown, holding an unsheathed long knife in his hand. He pulled away the other Liu family members, leaned over and grabbed Liu Rujian's hair, and dragged him away, regardless of the people behind him. The dumbfounded person sneered while walking and said:

"How can such a flamboyant young man have the ability to command the children left by your ancestors, go to the imperial prison and talk about it slowly!!"

Behind him, everyone in the Liu family was ashamed...
