my wife is mulan

This sentence flashed through Mao Xiuzhi's mind at this moment.

It was obviously a cup of warm wine, but Mao Xiuzhi drank it until his mouth was not warm at all, and he didn't even have the taste of wine. He was so frightened that he couldn't even taste the temperature and the taste of wine.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Mao Xiuzhi, how is this wine?"

The fear on Mao Xiuzhi's face became more and more intense, and he said against his will: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the good wine!"

"Oh? Since it's good wine, drink more! Come, pour him another glass!"

The eunuch poured another glass, Mao Xiuzhi watched the clear wine poured into the wine cup and brought to him, his face was as pale as a dead man.

After drinking another glass of wine, Mao Xiuzhi felt that his whole body was gradually losing strength, and he fell down slowly.

Zhao Junsheng was quite surprised, and looked at Kang Yide: "Did you poison the wine?"

Kang Yide quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, without your will, how dare this old servant act without authorization?"

"I just want to make a joke with him, he won't be scared to death, right? Go and see!"

"promise!"

Kang Yide walked up to Mao Xiuzhi and put his fingers under his nostrils, stood up and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, Mao Xiuzhi just fainted, not dead!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and sighed: "This old bastard is really easy to scare, wake him up!"

Kang Yide asked the little eunuch to bring a bowl of cold water, he opened his mouth to take a sip, and sprayed all the water on Mao Xiuzhi's face.

Stimulated by the cold water, Mao Xiuzhi slowly opened his eyes, struggled to sit up quickly, reached out and touched his face and arms, he was dumbfounded: "This... I'm not dead?"

Zhao Junsheng: "Ahem, what's the matter, do you think what I gave you is poisoned wine?"

Mao Xiuzhi was stunned, knelt on the ground and wailed loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is sorry..."

Zhao Junsheng looked at Mao Xiuzhi and said, "Jingzhi, is your birthday this year?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the old minister is sixty-eight this year!"

"Are you 68? I think you were in your 40s when you joined me, and you were in your prime. It has been more than 28 years now, and you can be regarded as one of the heroes of the Daqian Dynasty! Among the emperors of all dynasties, there are very few who can make me admire Few, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty is one of them, the [-] generals of Yuntai, except for Cen Peng who died early, the rest all ended well. The beginning and end of the monarch and his ministers can be regarded as a good story through the ages. Although what you have done in secret all these years should be punished, it is not heinous. You are not a mean and ungrateful person, so you will not be allowed to go through the judicial process, go back and write a memorial to beg the bones to return to your hometown!"

Mao Xiuzhi wept bitterly, tears pouring down like rain, "Your Majesty is so kind, I have nothing to repay you, but I can only wish your Majesty the dragon's body and health, and the Daqian Dynasty will last forever!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, Mao Xiuzhi stood up and retreated.

Quietness returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion. After reviewing the memorial, Zhao Junsheng got up, stretched his muscles, stretched his limbs, walked to the brazier and sat down, stretching out his hands to warm the fire.

"Kang Yide, go and remind Jia Yue that his time is running out!"

"promise!"

Before Mao Xiuzhi's letter to beg for bones was sent to the imperial court, the news was released by Jia Yue.

This news surprised many ministers and officials in the court. Although Mao Xiuzhi is a little older, he is not the oldest. At his age, there are not a few officials in the court. Seeing that Mao Xiuzhi is still healthy How could he be willing to give up the power in his hands and beg for the bones to return home?

King Jing Zhao Ting immediately sent his confidant to see Mao Xiuzhi after receiving the news, and the confidant returned soon.

"How? What did Mao Xiuzhi say, why is he begging for bones at this time?" Zhao Ting asked immediately.

Zhan Shida Lide of the palace bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Highness, Mao Xiuzhi said that he had no choice but to do it. His Majesty still allowed him to beg for bones because of his many years of hard work and hard work. He also said that if you want people to know, you must do nothing else. I don't want to say any more!"

Zhao Ting frowned: "What do these words of Mao Xiuzhi mean? Is it because... I understand that after Wang Tanzhi's accident, the father must have read the relevant files of the waiting lawsuit. I made a lot of money, and although I didn’t do anything terribly wrong, I still violated discipline and violated the law!”

Dai Lide said at this time: "Your Highness, the situation around Wang Tanzhi's mansion has been found out. There are indeed people from the Ministry of Punishment guarding. As for whether there are people waiting for lawsuits around there, I don't know. Those people have become elites." Spy secret agents, it may not be easy for our people to distinguish them! I thought I couldn't wait any longer. Wang Tanzhi knew too much. The crown prince, if the crown prince knows about this matter, then he will make use of it..."

Zhao Ting nodded, "And my second brother, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't look at him on weekdays who is quiet and conscientious, but in fact he is very ghostly, he is now in control of the imperial city Secretary, I don't believe he didn't hear the news, if he catches you, this king will be in a lot of trouble, you can arrange it, and do it when you find the right time!"

"understand!"

The next morning, Mao Xiuzhi's memorial to begging for bones had just been sent to the imperial court through the Secretary of the General Administration. The first two of the five-person list he wrote were impeached by Yushitai. This was of course Zhao Junsheng's secret order.

Zhao Junsheng made an imperial approval on the spot after seeing the impeachment memorial, and sent it back to Yushitai for immediate dismissal for investigation.

After the two were dismissed and investigated, King Jing panicked when he received the news. He already felt that his father knew something, otherwise it would not have happened that Mao Xiuzhi had just begged for bones, and two of them would have been coerced by him immediately. What a coincidence that the controlling minister was dismissed and investigated!

How can there be such a coincidence in the world?Unless there is a problem!

The urgency in Zhao Ting's heart rose rapidly, and he had to kill Wang Tanzhi as quickly as possible. Last night, although he had solved the hidden stakes of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs that monitored Wang Tanzhi's family, and moved Wang Tanzhi's family to control them, until now Wang Tanzhi hasn't shown up yet, so Zhao Ting couldn't help being in a hurry.

At this time, why is Wang Tanzhi not in a hurry?There was a fire in his mansion last night. He received the news this morning and went to check it quietly. He found that although the mansion was burned, no bones were found in the ruins, and he also found that there was a policeman from the Ministry of Criminal Justice who was killed in the dark. nearby.

He guessed that either it was done by the court, or someone sent by King Jing Zhao Ting, but he thought again, since all the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice were killed, it must not be done by the people in the court. Wanting Wang Tanzhi, it is impossible to kill people from the Ministry of Punishment, so it can only be done by Prince Jing's residence.

After all, Wang Tanzhi was waiting for a lawsuit before, and was under the control of Prince Jing. He always wanted to leave a way out for himself, so he paid special attention to Prince Jing's affairs, and specially sent another spy to monitor Prince Jing alone. It finally came in handy.

Awaiting lawsuits, secret prisons.

Cui Ren, the head of the Bingzhou Department, was tied to a wooden frame. His clothes had already been turned into strips of cloth, and his whole body was bloody and bloody.

It was Jia Yue who came in, and the torturers immediately saluted: "I have seen Si Zheng!"

Jia Yue asked, "Have you recruited?"

One of the cruel officials said: "Under torture by his subordinates, Cui Ren admitted that he met Wang Tanzhi on New Year's Eve at his home, and the two had a New Year's Eve dinner again and again, and then Wang Tanzhi left. Later, Wang Tanzhi contacted him again to inquire about our internal activities!"

Jia Yue asked: "Where does Wang Tanzhi settle, has he recruited?"

"No, he said that Wang Tanzhi should have his own safe house in Chang'an City, but no one knows where it is!"

Jia Yue walked up to Cui Ren and asked, "Where is Wang Tanzhi?"

"Sizheng... this subordinate really, really doesn't know!"

"Keep beating me, beat me to death!" Jia Yue stepped back after finishing speaking.

A cruel official next to him picked up the red-hot iron in the brazier and walked over. Cui Ren showed horror, and finally collapsed before the iron was imprinted on his chest, shouting: "I say, I say!"

Chapter 1084 The Spoiler

"Wang Tanzhi made an agreement with me that if there is any news, he will put a stone in the mouth of the stone lion on the left side in front of the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city, and he will come to me!"

Jia Yue stared at Cui Ren coldly, "Cui Ren, I know that Wang Tanzhi has saved your life and supported you, but you have to know that now Wang Tanzhi came here for his own gain and betrayed the emperor and Dagan, if you If you want to be destroyed together with Wang Tanzhi, no one can stop you, but you should be very clear about the consequences of deceiving this official, if you deliberately say the wrong way in this matter, this official will definitely make your life worse than death!"

Cui Ren was already tortured beyond human form, and the cruel torture made him unable to hold on any longer. He was extremely weak, "What I said is true, you kill me, please don't torture me like this again!"

"Whether you want to continue to torture you depends on whether your confession is true!"

After Jia Yue finished speaking, he shouted: "Zhang Sui!"

A nearby official stood up and clapped his hands in agreement: "This subordinate is here!"
