Chronicle of Emperor Jing

Jing Li stretched out his arms, hugged Wei Yan, turned his body horizontally, and hugged him in his arms.

"Are you too tired recently?" He patted Wei Yan's head and asked.

Wei Yan leaned on his shoulder and shook his head lightly: "No."

He is not physically tired, but mentally tired.

He has heard of these intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom, and Mr. Wei would often discuss them carefully with his sons, lest they accidentally fall into the pit.

But in the past, he didn't make progress, and he never blocked the way of others. Naturally, no one deliberately targeted him. Later, he was protected by the emperor, and the interests involved were not big enough to make people resort to such methods, so he didn't realize that, Things can get so weird and unpredictable.

In this incident, one member of the Shen family died, one member of the Li family died, and there may be more deaths in the future.

Even if those people can be punished afterwards, those who have died can no longer come back to life.

"Starting tomorrow, you don't have to be so tired. After the new year, I will take you to live in the Xishan Palace for a while, so you can have a good rest." Jing Li comforted him softly.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine."

"It's okay, let's rest."

"Ah."

Soon, the two of them lay down on the couch from the living room.

Jing Li hugged Wei Yan, stroked his back, and coaxed him to close his eyes.

He also closed his eyes and squinted for a while. After an unknown period of time, he heard the sound of the temple door being pushed outside.

He opened his eyes and looked at Wei Yan by the dim candlelight in the tent.

Wei Yan frowned slightly, obviously even if he fell asleep, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Jing Li looked at him silently for a moment, then let go of his arms and stood up.

He put on his robe, raised the curtain, and walked out quietly.

Outside the tent, Fudge was walking towards the inside on tiptoe, his footsteps were very soft, probably for fear of waking them up.Seeing the emperor walking out, Fudge opened his mouth to speak.

Jing Li shook his head, motioned him to be silent, and walked out first.

He went out of the gate of the inner hall, and when he reached the living room of the outer hall, he saw that Zhao Shi was already standing there.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Shi bowed immediately when he saw him.

"Stay flat." Jing Li said as he sat down, and then said, "Did the Wei family find that person? How did Wei Minwen's investigation go?"

Zhao Shi had nothing to say about the fact that Marquis Yongning used his son in such a way without realizing what was wrong.

Now, the emperor was the first to ask about such an important matter, Zhao Shi was even more speechless.

But even if he didn't want to talk, the emperor asked questions, and he still had to answer the questions that should be answered, unless he didn't want to live a good life.

"There are prominent stewards in the mansion, who can tell the specific whereabouts that day, and can find witnesses. The stewards in the shop and the stewards in the farm have been checked roughly, and there is nothing unusual. The nameless pawn At present, there is no manpower to investigate carefully." Zhao Shi told the emperor everything he knew.

"You don't need to worry about the Zhongyonghou Mansion and the Zhongyihou Mansion. Let them investigate slowly. You can take people out of the city tonight and search the several farms in the Yongninghou Mansion carefully. If you find someone, you don't have to report back to me. Clean up from beginning to end. Don't tell Marquis Yongning about these things again, understand?" According to Jing Li's estimate, the problem should be in the farm.

The stewards in the city are all doing things under the noses of everyone, so they can't do this kind of thing easily, but the farm is outside the city, so the possibility of accidents is more likely.

Hearing this, Zhao Shi secretly raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor sat upright on the throne, his brows did not move, his expression was stern, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

However, he understood the meaning of the emperor's words very clearly, because he had done such things before.

The emperor wanted to see no one when he was born, and no corpse when he died.

No matter how many follow-up arrangements those people have in the future, no matter how many witnesses there are from the Shen family, and no matter whether the Shen family is purely suffering, or they were used as guns by the people who really killed them, let alone the one who forcibly bought the land. Whether people cause trouble intentionally or unintentionally.

As long as that person and related personnel disappear directly from this world, the rest will be all nonsense.

The Shen family said that there was such a person, and the Wei family said that there was never such a person in his family. Others insisted that they belonged to his family, but they couldn't come up with any evidence. There was no way to find out, and then it was all air-to-air.

After all, only when people get all the stolen goods can they be convicted.

For the emperor to let him do this, it was purely drastic.

But if this is done, there may not be one or two dead people.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Shiming knew these words, he shouldn't have said them, and acting against the emperor's will is definitely not what a wise man would do, but he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid the Marquis of Yongning will not be happy if he finds out."

Let the chief culprit pay for his life, even if there is no official punishment, after all, the matter is in a hurry, Yongninghou will know about it afterwards, and probably won't say anything, but let this person's subordinates and family members pay for their lives together, Yongninghou will definitely not agree This approach.

"I said, don't report this matter to the Marquis of Yongning again. Is Qing old and deaf, can't you hear me? Or is it that Qing has been with Marquis Yongning for too long and has also learned the benevolence of his woman?" Jing Li He snorted coldly and asked him.

Your Majesty, if you dare to say this in front of the Marquis of Yongning, I will respect you as a man.

Zhao Shi secretly laughed at the emperor in his heart.

The emperor had already acted so prestige in front of him. He would never dare to say such words in front of Marquis Yongning.

Of course, he only dared to whisper these words in his heart, and he didn't have the guts to let the emperor know that he thought so.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid of [-], just in case." Zhao Shi tried his best to persuade him not only for the emperor, but also for himself.

Jing Li thought about it seriously, and realized that Zhao Shi's worries were not groundless.

Zhao Shi did as he ordered. This murder case of a slave will inevitably become an unsolved case in the end, but Wei Yan is not stupid. Hearing these news, I am afraid that he will realize what is going on.

At that time, Wei Yan might really be angry with him.

"Leaders and those who push people to death should be dealt with directly, and the others should be sent away far away." He pondered for a while, and finally changed his mind.

"The minister obeys the order."

After Zhao Shi came out of the palace, he took people directly out of the city.

Some of the farms in Yongninghou Mansion are relatively close to the capital, while others are farther away.

From near to far, he used some means to investigate the farms one by one. At dawn, he finally found something strange in Xifeng County, a hundred miles away from Beijing.

At that time, it was dawn, and he led his men and rode a horse. Before he got close to the farm, he saw some people outside the farm, acting a little sneakily.

"Take it!"

As soon as Zhao Shi gave an order, his subordinates rushed forward and started to take people.

These people are obviously not ordinary farmers, and they all have two skills under their hands, but Zhao Shi's men are all hidden guards sent by the emperor to protect Wei Yan's safety, and there are no weak under his men.

Even if these people wanted to resist, it was useless. After a few back and forth, they were knocked down to the ground and then tied up.

At this time, even if Zhao Shi is an idiot, he will find that something is wrong with this farm, let alone he is not an idiot.

He gave the order immediately, and went directly to get the steward of the farm.

There were so many sneaky people in the farm, but the steward of the farm did not respond, either something happened to the steward, or there was something wrong in his heart.

In this way, this inner ghost was finally caught out by Zhao Shi.

"Guanshi Liu!" Zhao Shi picked up a chair, put it in front of the manager of the farm, sat down, looked at Guanshi Liu who was tied up in front of him and tied to the chair, and said, "Why do you want to betray Lord Hou? If you don't want to talk, I don't bother to listen, those irrelevant people, who are they, you can talk if you want, if you don't want to talk, I have a way to pry their mouths open."

"Master Zhao, the villain can't do anything about it. They threatened the villain with his son's life, and the villain had no choice but to do so!" Guanshi Liu kept his posture very low, and he burst into tears as he spoke.

Zhao Shi was originally an official of the Marquis of Yongning. Guanshi Liu had met him before, so he called him that.

"When something like this happens, you should report to Lord Hou, and Lord Hou will naturally make the decision for you." Zhao Shi looked at him coldly and said.

"Master Zhao, the villain was infatuated with ghosts for a while and made a big mistake. The villain wants to meet Lord Hou and apologize to him in person." Guanshi Liu cried for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and wanted to grab a life-saving straw.

Guanshi Liu was able to serve as the steward here because he had served the Wei Mansion for many years. Guanshi Liu also knew the temper of Marquis Yongning.

He did the thing of betraying the Lord, and if he fell into the hands of others, he would definitely not have a way to survive, but if he fell into the hands of Marquis Yongning, he might not necessarily die. Even if he had no way to survive, he would not be able to fill in his family.

"Liu Guanshi, now the son is the housekeeper, and I am under the order of the son to handle this matter with full authority."

Zhao Shi would definitely not tell others that he was following the emperor's order, and pretend that he was following the prince's order.

His words directly shattered Liu Guanshi's fantasy.

"Master Zhao, the villain said, the villain can say everything." Guanshi Liu lost the hope of Marquis Yongning, so he could only confess honestly.

However, he didn't know many things. He only guessed the origin of these people based on the few words he overheard while drinking and making friends with these people.

Guanshi Liu didn't know much, but the Procuratorate under the Dark Guard had a lot of private information.With these clues, Zhao Shi couldn't know who was behind the tricks for a while, but as long as he returned to Beijing and checked them against each other, he would naturally know.

Even if this way is blocked, he will definitely be able to get some information if he gets a job this time.

"Liu Guanshi, you are not alone. Since others tell you to do something, you do it. If you want to come to me to ask you to do something, you will do it, right?" Zhao Shi ordered someone to write down what he said, and then asked.

"Master Zhao, please give me instructions, and the villain will definitely do it." When the matter came to this point, Guanshi Liu had to bow his head, if not bow his head.

At the end of the hour, several carriages were driven out of the farm, and Guanshi Liu, his family and several servants of his family got into the carriages.

These carriages left the farm slowly, and when they met farmers along the way, whether anyone was curious or not, Guanshi Liu laughed and said: "A few days ago, I made a fortune, and I asked the Marquis to resign yesterday." , and now I’m going back to my hometown.”

Some people were a little confused, and when they heard him say that, they looked at him stupidly, and some people were a little smarter, and asked him, when will the new farm manager come?

"Don't worry, the new manager will arrive soon."

He talked with people all the way, sat in front of the car, and slowly left the farm.

It didn't take long for everyone in the farm to know that he returned home after making a fortune.Moreover, I don't know which guy said that he got a lot of money by working for a certain adult in Beijing, and many people believed him.

As for them leaving in this way, others will not know the follow-up news.
