my wife is mulan

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan had just arrived at the Palace of Qinzheng, when they received a report from the eunuch saying that many ministers and officials in the court had received news that Prince Jing's mansion was attacked by thieves last night, so they rushed to the palace early in the morning to ask for an interview. Check it out.

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to order to open the gate of the palace to let ministers and officials in, and at the same time send someone to the palace to have an audience with King Xuanjing.

.

Chapter 1088

In the Tai Chi Hall.

Zhao Junsheng sat on the throne, and Hua Mulan sat on the embroidered pier next to him.

Both sides of the main hall were full of military officials, King Jing Zhao Ting knelt in the middle and wept loudly.

"...Father, Queen Mother, you have to be the masters for my son. As a prince, my son's mansion was killed by thieves. The whole palace is except for my son and the king's man, Zhan Shi Ma Dun." All the guards are dead, and the thieves are so arrogant, is this still the world of the Dagan Empire?"

Hua Mulan is a mother, so naturally she can't see that her son almost died and was beaten at the door, so it's okay?The royal family has no dignity at all, and people don't have the slightest awe of the royal family?What's the point of sitting in this country?

She hurriedly got up from the embroidered pier and walked down the steps quickly to Zhao Ting, squatting down with an eager and concerned expression: "Son, are you okay? Are you injured?"

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. My son and minister are in good health, but they were just a little frightened. The whole house has hundreds of people. They were killed and found out that there are only four people left. How arrogant is this? Why don't you take my royal family seriously?" ? Empress, you must make the decision for my son!"

Really complied with that sentence, children who cry have candy to eat!

When Hua Mulan saw Zhao Ting's grievances, her heart ached so much that she immediately said, "Don't worry, the empress mother and your father will definitely make decisions for you!"

After finishing speaking, she stood up and saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, this concubine thinks that this matter must be strictly investigated. Who is behind the instigation? Also, both the Jinwu Guard and the Jingzhao Mansion have unshirkable responsibilities. Their reactions It's too bad, Prince Jing's mansion was almost wiped out by the thieves, so they came too late!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Hua Mulan, he knew that the mother-in-law will never reason with you, if you don't obey her, she will make trouble with you, making you dizzy and upset until You are forced to say yes.

Zhao Junsheng said: "This matter involves the dignity of the royal family and the law. I will definitely order people to investigate to the end! King Jing, get up first, and the queen will return to her original position! Who was on duty at the Jinwu Guard last night? Is the Dugu Order of Jingzhao Mansion Yin here?"

Dugu Ling stood up and bowed first: "My minister, Dugu Ling, see Your Majesty!"

Leather Leopard, who was over fifty years old, came out and bowed, "Your Majesty, last night the Jinwu Guard's yamen was on duty!"

"Is there anything you two want to tell me about what happened last night?"

Pi Baozi and Dugu Ling also knew that the two of them had suffered an innocent disaster. If such a thing happened, the main person in charge of the yamen would definitely be held accountable. Fortunately, King Jing and Zhao Ting were fine. It's not enough to pay for one's life, and it may also take the lives of the clan.

There is nothing to argue about this kind of matter, and it is useless to argue. Pi Baozi and Dugu Ling made it very clear, and they said in unison: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others cannot absolve themselves of the responsibility for such a big incident in Chang'an City. Please forgive me." , and serve as a warning to others!"

Zhao Junsheng was silent for a while, and decreed: "General Pi, the Zuo Jinwuwei General, don't be a general. Go to Jinguangmen and become a city gate guard! Dugu Ling, you are old, and you must have lost your energy. You are allowed to retire and return to your hometown! The generals of the Zuo Jinwu Guard who were in charge of specific inspections last night, the street envoys, and the Jingzhao Mansion thief Cao were all dismissed and sent to prison for interrogation.

Leather Leopard and Dugu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor did not wantonly get involved this time, and still restrained himself, the two of them immediately bowed down: "Thank you Lord Long En!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "Is there someone in the Ministry of Punishment?"

Shang Wei Luezhi of the Ministry of Punishment stood up and cupped his hands: "Shang Wei Luezhi of the Ministry of Punishment sees Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Last night, Prince Jing's mansion was raided by thieves, causing heavy casualties. Has the Ministry of Criminal Justice started an investigation?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Feng Tingguang, the servant of the criminal department, is in charge of the investigation. In fact, not only the raid on Prince Jing's mansion by thieves happened last night, but also fierce battles took place in other courtyards of Prince Jing's mansion last night!"

"What?" Zhao Junsheng slapped the table angrily, "What's going on, please tell me clearly!"

"Promise!" Wei Luezhi agreed, and immediately said: "Previously, Sizheng Wang Tanzhi was dismissed by His Majesty for the crime of deceiving the emperor and his superiors, but there was no trace of Wang Tanzhi for several days. Therefore, the officials in charge of the case in the Ministry of Punishment thought that Wang Tanzhi might contact his family members, so they sent spies to monitor around Wang Tanzhi's mansion. Unexpectedly, the spies who were sent to monitor were killed within two days. Wang Tanzhi's family members also disappeared, our Ministry of Criminal Justice immediately dispatched tracking experts to track down the thieves who robbed Wang Tanzhi's family members, and our officials followed the trail to the other courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion!"

At this moment, Zhao Junsheng looked at Zhao Ting and stared at him: "Zhao Ting, did you send someone to kill the scout of the Ministry of Punishment and rob Wang Tan's family?"

How could Zhao Ting admit it, and immediately denied it: "Father, my son is wronged..."

"Injustice? The other courtyard is yours, who else did it if you didn't send someone? If someone else did it, would they lock the family members of the wanted criminal in your other courtyard?"

Zhao Ting shouted: "Your minister is really wronged. As early as the end of last year, the other courtyard was given to the prince's elder brother by the minister, and the manpower has been withdrawn long ago! Besides, Wang Tanzhi has no grievances with the minister. Wu Qiu, why did you want to kidnap his family? The Ministry of Punishments and government offices at all levels are responsible for catching wanted criminals, so is it necessary for me, a prince, to do it?"

Hua Mulan wanted to speak for the third son, but the third son brought the eldest son out again. She really didn't know what to do, she was worried that if she said something wrong, she might help the third son, but would harm the eldest son !

Zhao Junsheng looked at Prince Zhao Dong: "Prince, Prince Jing said he already gave you the other courtyard?"

Prince Zhao Dong stood up and said: "Father, there is indeed such a thing, but I only sent a few people to guard and take care of the cleaning on weekdays, and I have never been there! It is only now that I know what happened in the other courtyard last night. Big deal!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Then you sent someone to kill the undercover agents of the Ministry of Punishment and rob the wanted criminal Wang Tan's family and imprison them in other courtyards?"

Zhao Dong bowed down and said: "Father Huang Mingjian, even if my son did it, I will not be so stupid as to lock him in his own courtyard. If someone finds out, wouldn't it be right to check?"

"Could it be that Wang Tanzhi did it himself? Then he wanted to use that other courtyard that few people go to but no one dared to check to house his family?"

Zhao Junsheng's words made all the officials and ministers nod their heads. It makes sense to say that. Wang Tanzhi is a wanted criminal. It is almost impossible for him to leave the city if he wants to rescue his family. He can only find a place to hide. What is the safest place, it can only be the royal family's courtyard that no one dares to check!

At this time, Shang Wei Luezhi of the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward to deny the speculation of Zhao Junsheng and the ministers. He said: "Your Majesty, this is not the case! According to the on-site investigation conducted by the people in the relevant yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, Wang Tanzhi brought a dozen men. They did go to another courtyard, but they were there to save people, because most of them died, and they died in the front courtyard with their heads facing the inner courtyard, and many of them were shot to death by arrows!"

"Before Wang Tanzhi led people into the other courtyard, there was another group of people who entered the other courtyard before them. That was a team of detectives sent by our Ministry of Criminal Justice to follow up. There were more than 20 people, but they entered the other courtyard before Wang Tanzhi and others All the other courtyards were killed before. Apart from my criminal detectives, Wang Tanzhi and his subordinates, there were also some corpses of men in black. I think these men in black were the ones who killed me. The criminals who spied on and robbed Wang Tan's family!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Just now you said that Wang Tanzhi and all the men he took with him died? Was it killed by those men in black?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to the on-site investigation, the conclusion is that the man in black used a machine to control a lot of crossbows in the other courtyard, obviously carefully prepared, and the target of the man in black should be Wang Tan In terms of this group of people, the appearance of the team of spies carefully tracked by our Ministry of Criminal Justice must have been beyond the expectations of the men in black, and unintentionally became the pioneers of Wang Tanzhi and others, but Wang Tanzhi and others still did not escape the black people. The clothes man is setting up a killing game!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned: "I just can't figure it out. Apart from the court looking for Wang Tan's group, who else wants them dead? Unless Wang Tanzhi caught someone, and this person I want to kill Wang Tanzhi and others before the court catches him!"

"Your Majesty, this is also the conclusion I came to! It's just that I don't understand why those men in black chose that other courtyard. Could it be that they wanted to blame King Jing or the prince? How did Wang Tanzhi know that he Are the family members of the family imprisoned in another courtyard? Could it be that those traces were deliberately left by the man in black, with the purpose of leading Wang Tan there?"

Hua Mulan asked at this time: "Have you identified the bodies of those men in black?"

Wei Luezhi bowed and said: "Go back to the Queen, if you go back to the Queen, so far no one can recognize the identities of the corpses of the men in black, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice has sent painters to draw the appearance of the corpses, and sent them this morning. People are posting everywhere, hoping that someone will come to identify the corpse, as long as the identities of those men in black can be confirmed, we can investigate the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Hua Mulan asked again: "Where are the thieves who attacked Prince Jing's mansion? Have you found out their identities?"

"If you go back to the queen, the identities of the thieves who attacked Prince Jing's mansion have been verified, and they are all Wang Tanzhi's subordinates!"

At this time, everyone looked at Prince Jing Zhao Ting with suspicion.

You also said that you and Wang Tanzhi have no grievances or enmities. If there were no grievances and no enmities, Wang Tanzhi would be so bold as to send someone to raid the residence of a prince and prince?What's more, he was still a wanted criminal at that time, and he should show up as little as possible. How could he sneak attack on the prince's palace like you?

Zhao Junsheng looked at Zhao Ting and said coldly: "Zhao Ting, what else can you say? What is your relationship with Wang Tanzhi? Don't let him dare to send someone to attack your mansion?"

Zhao Ting cried and said repeatedly: "Father, my son was wronged, how did my son know what happened to Wang Tanzhi? Wait, he must have been imprisoned in another courtyard after he learned that his family was robbed. , I thought I sent people to do it, so I sent people to sneak attack and revenge, anyway, he is already a wanted criminal, what is he afraid of? If he has the strength in his hand, I'm afraid he can do anything, don't say it Even if it is the imperial palace, he will attack the palace of the minister!"

Chapter 1089

All the ministers discussed for a while. Some people thought that what Zhao Ting said was quite reasonable, while others thought that there must be some relationship between Prince Jing and Wang Tanzhi. Some ministers thought that someone might want to blame Prince Jing or Prince.

Zhao Junsheng stopped the ministers from whispering to each other, and said: "Since Wang Tanzhi and his subordinates are dead, the matter of arrest is over, but they raided Prince Jing's mansion, it was really daring and heinous. Send the soldiers of the Western Regions and border guards as slaves!"

"Wei Luezhi!"

"Chen is here!"

Zhao Junsheng ordered: "The Ministry of Criminal Justice must find out the identities of these men in black as soon as possible!"
