Tian Sixin looked at the three of them with bloodshot eyes.

"Master Ji, Lord Lin, and Lord Zhao, take your seats first." He said weakly.

The three officials in front of me are the officials of Tianzhou's procuratorate, namely Ji Lin, the procurator, Lin Min and Zhao Fukang, the deputy envoys.

In Dali, the Judiciary is the judicial office established in each state, and is in charge of criminal names and litigation affairs in a state.At the same time, it is also the local branch office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, exercising supervisory power over local officials.

The Chief Secretary, the Examination Division, and the Commander Division are collectively referred to as the "Three Divisions", all of which are directly under the court.

"My lord, how is His Royal Highness Prince Xin'an?" Ji Lin couldn't help asking just as he sat down.

Before coming, he had already received the news that Qingsi Garden was attacked by assassins.

"His Royal Highness is well!" Tian Sixin said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was not relieved yet, Tian Sixin said again: "There are sergeants in the city who participated in this assassination!"

"what!"

Ji Lin stood up abruptly, staring at Tian Sixin in horror.

Tian Sixin took out the crossbow and said, "It's very difficult for you and me to get the standard crossbow in the army, except for the capital's yamen."

As imperial officials, it was easy for Tian Sixin and Ji Lin to get some bows and crossbows, but it was not easy for them to get military standard bows and crossbows.

The people of Dali can't help but use weapons, but bows and crossbows are forbidden. No matter whether they are warriors or ordinary people, they are not allowed to hold bows and crossbows.

Only the yamen servants and lieutenant officers in the yamen of each division can use bows and crossbows.

The yamen servants of the Chief Secretary also have crossbows in their hands, but they are not the standard crossbows in the army.

Generally speaking, standard crossbows and arrows in the military are uniformly deployed by the Dusi Yamen, and they must be reported after use or damage.

Neither the Chief Secretary nor the Inspection Division has the right to intervene in the deployment of weapons in the Dusi Yamen.

Ji Lin looked at the crossbow arrow that was shining with cold light, his expression changed again and again.

"This~~ is there someone in the capital involved?"

"I can't be sure yet!" Tian Sixin said: "I just asked the officials to investigate the situation of the patrol camp. At midnight, there were no soldiers from the patrol camp patrolling around Qingsi Garden. Not only that, the soldiers who participated in the assassination had no trace There is nothing left, as if it never appeared."

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, "That means someone changed the patrol route of the patrol battalion."

"That's right!"

Tian Sixin nodded.

"It can change the inspection route of the patrol battalion, and can also mobilize soldiers in the city, so that hundreds of soldiers are willing to work for them. There are not many people in the city who can do these things."

Ji Lin frowned and fell into deep thought.

What Tian Sixin said is correct, there are not many people in Tianzhou City who can do these three things at the same time, probably only four or five people. .z.br>

"No, Mr. Tian, ​​if it's not alone!"

Tian Sixin was slightly taken aback, then nodded, and said, "There may be two or more people involved."

"But no matter how many people are involved, the inspector needs to thoroughly investigate the capital's yamen!"

Ji Lin's face changed slightly, "A thorough investigation of the capital's yamen?"

"It's easy for Mr. Tian to say. Is it because I want to thoroughly investigate the Dusi Yamen?"

"This matter should be reported to the court first, and then the Inspectorate will send the censor to come!"

According to the inspection department, there are responsibilities for correcting officials, supervising the military, promoting morality, and clarifying the administration of officials. However, it is not possible for the inspection department to thoroughly investigate the entire capital.

Otherwise, the inspector will cause public outrage, and the generals and military officers in the capital's yamen will definitely not accept the inspector.

Tian Sixin also understands the predicament, but he must find out the ghost in the capital's yamen as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to explain to Qin Wei, nor can he explain to the court.

"We should report as soon as possible, but we can't wait for the Inspectorate. You and I both know that people from the Inspectorate won't be able to come to Tianzhou City within ten days and half a month!" Tian Sixin said in a deep voice.

Tianzhou City is only [-] miles away from the capital, and if you hurry up, you can arrive in two or three days. However, after the court receives the report, it will take time to arrange officials. It is impossible to send people in a short time. .

Tian Sixin couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to find out the matter as soon as possible, preferably before the censor of the Inspectorate arrived in Tianzhou City.

"Master Tian, ​​do you know that the Dusi Yamen is in charge of more than 20 guards in Tianzhou, what if I act recklessly and cause a military disaster?" Ji Lin said impatiently.

"Impossible, it's just a few clowns who eat inside and out, how can they still control the entire Dusi Yamen!" Tian Sixin was also a little annoyed.

"What if?"

Ji Lin glared at Tian Sixin, "Once there is a military disaster, the city of Tianzhou will be devastated. Can Master Tian bear this responsibility?"

"Anyway, I don't agree with a thorough investigation of the capital's yamen at this time!"

It's not that Ji Lin doesn't want to investigate, but he doesn't dare to.

Because he is very clear about the situation of the generals in the Dusi Yamen. To put it bluntly, none of the generals are clean.

Maybe they have nothing to do with Xueyilou, but they are more or less involved with other sect forces.

If they really push them into a hurry, they don't know what troubles will happen.

Moreover, it is impossible to deter those generals with the ability of the inspector. Only when the court pays attention to this time and sends high-ranking people to investigate can it deter Xiaoxiao.

"If something goes wrong, I will take care of it!" Tian Sixin said with a gloomy face.

"You can't afford it!" Ji Lin said mercilessly.

The quarrel between the two made other officials in the hall think about it. Now the problem is before them. There must be a problem in the Dusi yamen, but they can't make up their minds whether they can investigate or not.

At this moment, there was a sudden shout from outside the lobby.

"Sir, it's not good!"

"Adult~~"

A middle-aged yamen servant hurried into the lobby.

Tian Sixin asked gloomyly: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, the army of Zhenwu Division is about to enter the city!" The yamen servant said while panting violently.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

Tian Sixin was taken aback for a moment, and the whole body froze involuntarily.

"What is His Royal Highness doing?" Ji Lin was shocked and angry.

Tian Sixin took a deep breath and gave Ji Lin a hard look, "What do you think he is going to do!"

"In Kyoto, he dared to besiege the Duke's Mansion. In Tianzhou City, wouldn't he dare to besiege the Dusi Yamen?"

"..."

Ji Lin was speechless for a moment, he forgot that His Royal Highness is a little unscrupulous in doing things in the capital.

"What are you waiting for, let's go to Qingsi Garden!"

Tian Sixin said impatiently.

He wanted to stop Zhenwusi's army from entering the city, no matter what, he didn't want Zhenwusi's army to cause trouble in the city, otherwise the matter would become even bigger and no one would be able to end it.

Chapter 71 Dusi Yamen

The north gate of Tianzhou City.

Tieshou was leading six thousand soldiers out of the city gate and slowly entering the city.

Downstairs of the majestic city gate, hundreds of soldiers in charge of guarding the city were all taken down, each of them was dejected and trembling like a defeated rooster.

It wasn't that they didn't want to stop Zhen Wusi's army from entering the city, it was that Iron Hands didn't give them any chance to speak, so they came up and tied them up.

"Hong Qianhu, Cui Qianhu!"

The iron hand stood on the street inside the city gate on horseback, calling loudly.

"I'm here!" Hong Fei and Cui Shimao immediately stepped forward to respond.

"Block the square gates and take over the guards of the city walls. If there are any stubborn ones, they can be killed first and then played!" Iron Hand ordered.

"Here!"

Hong Fei and Cui Shimao responded, and immediately led their soldiers up to the city wall, and scattered along the city wall towards both sides. Z.br>

And Tie Shou took the remaining soldiers and horses straight to the Dusi Yamen.

Inside the Dusi Yamen

Commander Li Zhengkun looked solemnly at the panicked subordinates in front of him, his eyes were squinted with a chilling gleam.

He already knew about the attack on Qingsi Garden, earlier than Tian Sixin knew.

At that time, his first reaction was to mobilize the patrol battalion to support.

But in the end, he found that the entire patrol battalion was patrolling the city, except that there were no soldiers patrolling around Qingsi Garden.

After he mobilized the patrol battalion to arrive at Qingsi Garden, Qingsi Garden had returned to calm.

Instead of knocking on the door to inquire about the situation, he returned directly to the Dusi Yamen.

Because he knew very well that someone from Si Yamen was involved in the attack on Qingsi Garden.

So the first thing he did was to find out who was involved.

As a result, two or three hours have passed, and he still has no clue.

"Liu Zhendong, tell me who arranged the inspection route last night!"

In the main hall, Li Zhengkun asked a middle-aged man angrily.

Liu Zhendong is the commander of the patrol battalion. If there is a problem with the patrol battalion, he is the first person responsible.

Therefore, after returning to the Dusi Yamen, Li Zhengkun directly asked the soldiers to tie up Liu Zhendong.

At this time Liu Zhendong was kneeling in the hall, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "My lord, the general really doesn't know, the general handed over the inspection task to the two battalion officers last night!"

As he spoke, he looked at the two camp officers who were also kneeling on the ground next to him.

"My lord, the route was obviously arranged by you, we just followed orders!"

The two battalion officers were also in a hurry, and pushed the question to Liu Zhendong without hesitation.

Liu Zhendong was furious, and said: "I returned to the mansion yesterday after the mortification, when did I give you an order?"

"But after the dot, the lord clearly gave us the order himself, lord, you can't let us take the blame!" The two camp officers almost didn't cry.

Liu Zhendong pointed at the two of them and was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Li Zhengkun's complexion was as dark as coke.

Herein lies the problem!

From his return to Dusi Yamen to now, he has been interrogating these three people, and even arrested all three people's entourage and relatives, but it turned out to be of no use.

Because what Liu Zhendong said was not a lie, he did go back to the mansion directly after the point, and did not go to the patrol camp after that.

But the two battalion officers saw Liu Zhendong again after that, and not only the two of them, but also other officials and soldiers in the patrol battalion.

Unless Liu Zhendong has the technique of doppelganger, it is absolutely impossible to appear in two places at the same time.

"Disguise!"

Li Zhengkun already understood in his heart.

This must be someone who disguised himself as Liu Zhendong and mobilized the patrol battalion in Liu Zhendong's name.

But this result was not what he wanted the most. He hoped that this was what Liu Zhendong did, and he could just pull Liu Zhendong out to make up for the crime.

"My lord, the people from Zhen Wusi are here!"

While Li Zhengkun was interrogating, a soldier suddenly ran into the hall to report.

Li Zhengkun closed his eyes slightly, with a decadent look on his face, he said, "The one who should come is still here!"

Outside the gate of Qingsi Garden.

As soon as Qin Wei stepped into the carriage, he ran into Tian Sixin and Ji Lin who were coming towards him.

"Meet Your Royal Highness!"

The two led a group of officials from the chief secretary and the inspectorate to pay homage.
