Chapter 584 The wolf is coming

"Huaiying means that this matter was done by the Guanzhong family?" Xu Jingzong said in surprise: "If so, we have to chew a big bone." The look of shock and anger on Zheng Renji's face disappeared completely.

Without a trace, what replaced him was the same complicated expression.

They are both from aristocratic families, but the other party's aristocratic family is very different from my own. The Guandong aristocratic family was so glorious back then. When Cui Renshi was here, most of the officials in the court were held by people from the Guandong aristocratic family.

Suppressing the Guanzhong family, it became glorious. However, with the death of Cui Renshi, the further development of the imperial examination, and the subsequent blow to the Guanzhong family. Although the Guandong family exists, its strength is far less than what it was back then. Compared with the habitual family,

It's still far worse. It will take decades to reorganize the Guandong family. But looking at the Guanzhong family, Chang Sun Wuji and others have been dismissed from office, but everyone knows that behind them, there is something hidden.

Looking at His Majesty the Crown Prince, even His Majesty the Crown Prince has always been close to the common people and away from the aristocratic family, but Changsun Wuji is a member of the aristocratic family. This is a fact that cannot be changed. It is also because of this that the Guanzhong aristocratic family is in its current situation.

But it is different now. According to Di Renjie's guess, the case in Luoyang, the eastern capital, is closely related to the Guanzhong family. This does not mean that if this case is found out, it will be a matter of time that the Guanzhong family declines. If so, Zheng Renji will also have doubts in his heart.

It's much more balanced.

"I don't know about other things, but the murder of the imperial envoy Hongnong is probably closely related to the Guanzhong family." Di Renjie thought for a moment and then said: "However, despite this, this matter is nothing to us.

Does it have a big role, because Zhao Shida's death has nothing to do with the Guanzhong family, or we haven't got any more clues yet."

When Xu Jingzong and Zheng Renji heard this, they immediately stopped talking. Di Renjie was right. With this clue, it has no big effect on the current situation. It can only be inferred that the case

Behind the story, there is a lot to do with the Guanzhong Family. Even if no one in the Guanzhong Family knows about it, it is still very difficult to find the final candidate.

"Haha! Sir, now that we have some clues, it is a progress for us." Seeing this, Di Renjie couldn't help but said with a smile: "I believe that we will get more information soon. You Ge

Old advice, I believe, we will be able to return to Chang'an soon."

"What Huaiying said is true." Xu Jingzong was also an old man in the officialdom. He quickly adjusted his mood, touched his beard, laughed and said: "But imagine the court, although I am not in Chang'an City, haha,

Even if he is a bachelor of Xuande Hall, this bachelor of Xuande Hall has no authority at all. If not for His Majesty’s insistence, I am afraid that the person sitting in front of you two is no longer an elder."

"Elder Ge and Huaiying were recommended by His Highness the Crown Prince. Who dares to be so presumptuous?" Zheng Renji was imprisoned. Although he knew some general circumstances of the case, he did not know the specific things that happened in the court, and even more so.

What's more, not everyone knows some things and can guess the reasons. Only those smart people understand the truth. Undoubtedly, Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie are one of them.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei." Di Renjie said with a chuckle. He lowered his head but said nothing. He grabbed the wine bottle with his right hand and poured himself a glass of wine. Xu Jingzong on the side also told what happened in the court hall.

There was a sound of silence in the entire prison, and the joy on Zheng Renji's face suddenly disappeared without a trace. He is also a figure from a big family, how could he not understand the truth behind this. Although His Highness, King Wei, was clearly targeting

Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie, but in fact, it was aimed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind them.

"Haha! We were appointed by His Majesty and have nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Look, Your Majesty, didn't you still insist that we stay in office and continue to investigate the case? It's the King of Wei himself.

He was also sent to the Shaolin Temple to attend Zen and worship Buddha. This shows that His Majesty's heart is very bright!"

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zheng Renji's mouth. It has always been so simple for princes to fight for the heir apparent. The so-called king of hell fights, and the kid suffers. That's it. That was just what King Wei aimed at His Royal Highness, but in the end it was he and others who were unlucky. King Wei tried to challenge

Of course, Lu Zhaoci saw the prince clearly, but Lu Zhaoci could do this. He just sent him to the Shaolin Temple to cultivate his moral character and made no other decisions. This explains Lu Zhaoci's attitude.

The palms and backs of these palms are full of flesh! But among those ministers, how could any of their own sons come to kiss them!

"As long as we handle the case seriously, His Majesty will stand behind us." Di Renjie said calmly: "No matter who is involved behind the case, it is impossible to escape. As long as we have real evidence, are we still afraid of them? King Wei,

So what about King Wei, this case does not involve him, but if it does, we can still bring him to justice." There was a trace of anger on Di Renjie's handsome face.

"Yes, we have not only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also His Majesty behind us." Xu Jingzong also nodded and said: "Although King Wei came to Shaolin Temple, he is just a prince. Without His Majesty's imperial decree and Xuande Hall entrustment,

Under such circumstances, we cannot participate in the Luoyang incident. As long as we investigate the case and get to the bottom of the case, who dares to cause trouble for us?" Zheng Renji's face improved a lot after hearing this. Against the prince, he still didn't have that.

Courageous, fortunately this case has nothing to do with Lu Chengtai, otherwise, things would be very serious.

"What should we do now?" Zheng Renji took a deep breath, his eyes were shining, and he looked at Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie and said. The implication was very clear, he was going to be released from prison. Before

The reason why he was imprisoned in Luoyang was to confuse the people in the Luoyang officialdom. However, most of the officials in the Luoyang officialdom have been killed and injured, and the entire city of Luoyang has stopped functioning. What does Zheng Renji have if he is imprisoned in the prison of the Luoyang Criminal Department?

What's the effect?

"It is of no use for Mr. Zheng to stay in the prison of the Ministry of Justice at this moment." Di Renjie also nodded and said: "Luoyang officialdom, with two out of three officials gone, it is difficult to operate. At this time, Mr. Zheng needs to be in Luoyang, and then

We sent a letter to Luoyang, asking your Majesty to issue an order. On the one hand, Lord Zheng should be reinstated to his post, and secondly, we would also ask Your Majesty to recruit more officials for Luoyang."

"That's all we can do." Xu Jingzong nodded, turned to Zheng Renji and smiled: "Let's go, Mr. Zheng, this time the three of us are fighting side by side. Hum, I want to see who he is.

So bold, to play with the whole court on the applause." Seeing this, Zheng Renji laughed secretly in his heart. I am afraid that Mr. Xu Ge's true words were because he wanted to see who was playing with him on the applause! Imagine.

Also, Xu Jingzong felt really aggrieved, thinking that he had been an official all his life and finally entered the center and became a bachelor of Xuande Hall. When he accepted the task for the first time, he was the first to do everything in the whole situation.

In the end, he had to rely on His Majesty's reputation to guarantee him, which made him feel uncomfortable! No wonder such a sinister character also got angry.

"Two adults, I would like to remind you that the person we are facing this time is a ferocious and cruel guy. Who knows what kind of measures the opponent will take next and what tricks he will use. So we are all

Be careful." Di Renjie's eyes flashed, reminding Xu Jingzong and Zheng Renji.

The two of them shuddered immediately. What Di Renjie said was not wrong at all. The person behind this was not a simple character. You must know that the other party was so decisive and killed more than a hundred officials in one go. It can be seen that,

The cruelty of this person's methods can be said to have reached the level of lawlessness. He regarded the laws of the country as child's play. So many officials were wiped out in one go. I am afraid that even Lu Zhaoci himself would not be able to use such methods.

"That's true." Xu Jingzong also showed a hint of worry on his face, and said quickly: "Our security guards when entering and exiting need to be strengthened. Since the other party can kill so many officials in one night without making a sound,

If we can accomplish this, I'm afraid it won't be an easy thing. There must be many people under my command. I don't want to be killed inexplicably like this. It's better to be careful."

"That's right, that's right." Zheng Renji secretly laughed in his heart, feeling that this pavilion boss is still a timid character who is afraid of death. Yes! The higher the official position and the more money he has, the more he is afraid of death. On the contrary,

Those common people are not afraid of death.

"Mr. Ge, what did you just say?" Di Renjie suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Be careful when you come in and out, strengthen your security!" Xu Jingzong's face turned slightly red and he looked at Di Renjie, as if he thought he was laughing at him for being afraid of death, but he saw that Di Renjie's eyes were full of joy, and the dissatisfaction disappeared immediately.

Without a trace, he asked again: "What? There is something wrong with this statement."

"No, no, it's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence." Di Renjie seemed to have discovered something, and the joy on his face became even stronger.

"Oh, if the other party can attack more than a hundred officials in Luoyang, it means that he must have a lot of people. Otherwise, how could he do such a shocking thing overnight? So we have to be careful." Xu Jingzong added what he had just said.

He repeated the sentence, then looked at Di Renjie, waiting for Di Renjie's explanation. Even Zheng Renji looked at Di Renjie curiously.

"What Mr. Ge said is true. If the other party didn't have a large number of people, how could they have killed all these hundreds of officials in one night? Humph, in that case, it would be much easier to do." Di Renjie snorted coldly: "They can be killed easily.

To kill these officials, there must be undercover agents among the servants of these officials' families. In this case, we will investigate the servants of these officials' families, and I don't believe that nothing can be found."

"Yes, Huaiying's plan is very clever." Xu Jingzong and Zheng Renji's eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly. The three looked at each other and laughed.

On the official road to Luoyang, a bright yellow carriage came slowly. There were hundreds of guards walking slowly around the carriage. The guards were very capable. You could tell from the armor they wore. They were all. The all-black Mingguang Armor was forged from pure white steel. Only a powerful country like the Tang Dynasty could forge so many standard weapons. With the power of one country, it took more than ten years to achieve today's achievements. These soldiers and horses are all imperial troops. They are the emperor's personal troops. The carriages guarded by these emperor's personal troops show how noble the people in the carriages are.

The person in the car was none other than Lu Chengtai who came out of Beijing to Shaolin Temple. Lu Zhaoci didn't even let him see the wedding between the prince and the king of Shu, so he let him come to Shaolin. He also brought an imperial edict. The imperial edict is: To Zheng Renji. Let Zheng Renji be reinstated. The scene in the Qianqing Palace soon spread throughout Chang'an City. Although everyone said nothing, they understood one thing in their hearts, that is, the King of Wei was probably very interested in the East Palace. He had an idea, but unfortunately, as soon as he said it, he was sent to the Shaolin Temple by the emperor. He didn't even attend the prince's wedding. But after all, he was still the king of Wei, and judging from Lu Zhaoci's punishment, it was not very serious. Seriously, it was just a warning, and there was no change in any treatment. This made people even more cautious towards King Wei and did not dare to neglect him.

Now Lu Chengtai came to the Shaolin Temple according to the order. Lu Chengtai's face in the car was full of clouds. Before he took action this time, or in other words, just after he took action, his father gave him a severe whip. This made him very depressed, and even They looked at the imperial edict on the side and felt disgusted. This was not an edict given to themselves, but to Zheng Renji.

"Your Highness, Xu Jingzong, the bachelor of Xuande Palace, Di Renjie, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, and Zheng Renji, the Luoyang stayer, have led Luoyang officials who have been out for more than ten miles. They are waiting in the pavilion in front." At this time, a guard reported cautiously outside the carriage.

"Got it." Lu Chengtai's voice was low, and the carriage had stopped. Lu Chengtai opened one side of the car window and looked forward through the gaps between the imperial guards. Sure enough, he saw a pair of men and horses in front, with three people at the head and one person in the middle. His hair and beard are gray, but his complexion is rosy and his expression is elegant. Who is he but Xu Jingzong, the great scholar of Xuande Palace of the Tang Dynasty? The person on his right is a middle-aged elegant man with a long beard and a handsome look. He is the one who stayed in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Zheng Renji, standing to the left of Xu Jingzong is a young man, wearing a light red official robe, with a handsome face, but his eyes are like stars, bottomless, and there is a faint light of wisdom shining in them. Such an expression , dressed like this, who is it but Di Renjie, the upstart bureaucrat of the Tang Dynasty?

"Sir, do you think that when His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei comes here this time, can he really stay in the Shaolin Temple?" Zheng Renji frowned and asked calmly to Xu Jingzong on the side. It is not necessarily a good thing for a prince to come here. No matter what status this prince comes to Luoyang, everyone must serve him well. If possible, he would not want to leave such a great god in Luoyang.

"If he doesn't feel at ease, we have His Majesty's decree, so what are we afraid of?" Di Renjie said disdainfully: "Does he still have the guts to disobey His Majesty's decree?"

"It's not that he is afraid of resisting the decree, but that he is afraid of staying in Luoyang City." Xu Jingzong glanced at Di Renjie. Although he was smart, he had just entered the officialdom and didn't know how powerful it was. Moreover, he was the prince's best friend, and he was worried in his heart.

There is only one prince, so naturally he will not pay attention to other princes. But being a prince is so simple? He himself is a flag. If you want to touch him, you have to worry about His Majesty the Emperor behind him. Now His Majesty the Emperor

He is still in Chang'an City, but once His Majesty the Emperor goes to the southwest and marches in person, no one in Chang'an City, not to mention Luoyang City, will be able to overwhelm him. This prince's coming is not a simple matter.

Can handle it...

"Good luck sending him away!" Zheng Renji sighed. It would be impossible for His Royal Highness the King of Wei to have the courage to challenge His Highness the Crown Prince if he didn't have any strength. It would be very difficult for him to stay in Luoyang with peace of mind.

The thought of difficult things made Zheng Renji's head hurt. When he looked around, he saw that Xu Jingzong was also frowning. Only Di Renjie's eyes flashed with fighting spirit. Young people do have fighting spirit.

"The prince's cronies and His Royal Highness the King of Wei, who only have Qiuhe in his heart, don't know what will happen. I hope that Your Majesty will leave Chang'an later, or recall the King of Wei to Chang'an before leaving, so as not to stay in Chang'an.

Luoyang, make things difficult for us ministers." Zheng Renji thought distressedly.

"Here we come." Xu Jingzong said softly. Zheng Renji quickly raised his head and looked forward, and saw a group of cavalry coming slowly, guarding a carriage. The carriage was bright yellow and it was the carriage owned by the royal family.

Looking at the carriage guarded by the mighty Royal Forest Army, it was obvious that the person sitting in the carriage was none other than King Lu Chengtai of Wei.

When the carriage reached the crowd dozens of steps away, it stopped. A young eunuch opened the bright yellow gauze in front of the carriage, and saw a fat young man slowly walking down. Behind him, there were

A young eunuch held the imperial edict in both hands. Who else could this person be if he wasn't Lu Chengtai?

At this time, Lu Chengtai's face had swept away the gloomy and unhappy look in the car. Instead, he was smiling, and with his clothes, he looked graceful and luxurious. After all, he was a person of royal origin, and every move he made was like that.

He was so superior that even Di Renjie had to admire him. The little fat man in front of him looked pretty good. But if he was compared with Lu Chenglie, he was obviously not qualified.

"Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong, Di Renjie, and Zheng Renjie, together with the officials from Dongdu, respectfully welcome the prince." Xu Jingzong also showed a smile on his face and led everyone forward to greet him.

"Lord Pavilion, there is no need to be polite. The little king is here to go to Songshan Shaolin on the order of his father. He is going to Songshan Shaolin to reward people from Songshan and to study Buddhism. He just came here to deliver the message." Lu Chengtai's face was peaceful. How could he be there at that time?

The embarrassing appearance of Qianqing Palace. It seemed as if nothing happened at all in Chang'an. This kind of demeanor was admirable, and Xu Jingzong nodded repeatedly. ro!~!
