[Six times] Cover the sky with one hand

Jing Ting nodded and said, "There is one thing that really needs to be bothered by Lord Zhao."

When Zhao Qi heard this, he immediately nodded and said respectfully: "Principal, please tell me."

"Master Zhao knows that a month ago... how many houses in the city had gone through water and dispatched the fire master to put out the fire?" Jing Ting asked in a daze.

Zhao Qi looked puzzled and said, "A month ago... there were indeed several places in the city that had gone through water. But... the lower officials were ignorant, and I want to know what the commander asked about this matter?"

"Lord Zhao doesn't need to ask too much. Just find out the detailed books of the fire master in these fire houses..." Jiang Chengyi continued Jing Ting's words.

Zhao Qi could only nod and agreed, "The official knows, so I will go back to the mansion and transfer the case files to the two mansions."

Jing Ting said, "There is no need to send it to our mansion. Lord Jiang and I are going to the Shangshutai now. We also asked Lord Zhao to find the documents recorded in the detailed case file and then send them directly to the Dongfu Department."

Before Zhao Qi could answer, the two of them turned around and walked towards the Shangshu Deck.

Soon the six or seven guards following them covered the figures of the two.

Zhao Qi was surprised, but she didn't know what they found out, so she could only order the people in the mansion to drive the ox cart and go back.

Along the way, Jing Ting and Jiang Chengyi both lowered their heads silently, not knowing what they were thinking.

It was not until the two of them walked into the alley in front of the Shangshutai that they looked at each other and asked, "Master Jiang thought... was this matter done by Deng Yuan?"

Jiang Chengyi frowned and said, "There are many doubts about this matter... It's really hard to decide... Isn't the commander who is also wondering why he came to Shangshutai with me?"

Jing Ting calmed his eyes and said, "But all the evidence... pointed to Deng Yuan. It is really hard to argue for him."

Although Jiang Chengyi knew that the male corpse in Deng's private house was not killed by the bombing, but was killed by drinking poison. However, the explosion in Deng's house left him confused.

He knew that with Jiang Chengjia there, Ning Nanyou would not do such a thing as ignoring the people around the Deng Mansion...

So is the mastermind behind the explosion who wanted to use this matter to deal with Deng? Or just want to destroy Shi An's mouth? He was also a little confused at this time.

Just now, he and Jing Ting reviewed the scene. In Deng Yuan’s mansion, there was only a large amount of sulfur powder and charcoal powder remaining around the cell where fake Shi An was imprisoned. The remaining ruins were only residue, which was obviously for Shi An.

But strangely, if someone in the city bought enough sulfur and charcoal that caused the explosion, Zhongdu official Cao should have records. However, yesterday he and Jing Ting and Zhao Qi specially checked the documents in Zhongdu official government, but did not find that people have brought large amounts of sulfur and charcoal in this month.

So, during the review today, he and Jing Ting believed that a group of gangs carried a certain amount of sulfur and charcoal into the city in batches. Because each person carried it evenly, neither the Shangshutai nor the Taiwei Mansion noticed it.

This is someone who is determined to make Shi An's life.

He was suspicious and couldn't help but think of the young master Hengye who had killed Shi An after half a month ago.

Could it be that the men sent by Fu's family were attacked?

However, the fact that he sent the fake Shi An to Deng Yuan’s mansion could not have been exposed so quickly.

After seeing the burning residue around Shi'an's cell, Jing Ting thought that the matter could only be done by Deng. After all, the explosion was a private prison in Deng Yuan's mansion, such a hidden and undiscoverable place. Deng Yuan would never allow people who were not his confidants to enter, let alone someone dared to lay so much sulfur and charcoal around the cell where Shi'an was imprisoned under his nose.

However, he and Jing Ting both believed that Deng Yuan would not do such a thing that there was no silver here, which led His Majesty to know that Shi An was secretly imprisoned in his private house. Therefore, he felt that someone was going to frame Deng Yuan, and knew that he had secretly taken Shi An and deliberately caused such a big disturbance.

Out of doubt, Jing Ting invited him to the Shangshutai and arrested Deng Yuan, intending to ask Deng Yuan clearly.

He was thinking, but Jing Ting beside him had already given an order. At this time, a team of city defense troops appeared beside them, and more than a dozen generals rushed towards the Shangshutai.

After a moment, Deng Yuan was pressed out by the soldiers of the city defense army.

He kept shouting: "What are your city defense forces doing? Your Majesty said... There are many annual affairs, so I asked me to go to the Shangshu Station to handle the documents first... You are now ruling me out with ruthlessness, what are you going to do?"

The city defense force escorted him did not listen to Deng Yuan's shouting, but just brought him rudely to Jing Ting.

Deng Yuan glared at Jing Ting in horror and said, "Grand Commander! What are you going to do? Are you going to use the City Defense Force to lynch? Don't forget that although you are the City Defense Force, you are not qualified to arrest the Shangshutai at will. Aren't you afraid that my grandfather will come to your commander's mansion or sue him?"

Jing Ting wanted to refute him, but heard the young man beside him speak first and said, "I am the one who ordered you to be forced out of the Shangshutai. Lord Deng, the Dongfu Division is finally qualified to arrest the Shangshutai? Your Majesty has an order. If necessary, the Dongfu Division can order the City Defense Army to imprison Lord Deng into the Dongfu Division dungeon and interrogate carefully."

Deng Yuan bared his teeth and said anxiously: "Your Majesty's order means... If this explosion is really related to me, I can be taken to the Dongfu Si Dungeon! Jiang Chengyi! I don't believe it. You found out what evidence can make you come and arrest me from the ruins in my mansion! Don't rely on your majesty's power here, pretending to be a tiger's power! Let me tell you, if you dare to attack me, my grandfather will not let you go!"

Seeing his fangs and claws, Jiang Chengyi ignored him and bowed to Jing Ting and said, "I'm sorry, the commander."

Jing Ting nodded. Although he waved to the city defense general who was escorting Deng Yuan, the soldiers immediately rushed toward the East Prefecture Office.

Originally, Jiang Chengyi could come to arrest Deng Yuan by relying solely on the guards under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Prefecture. However, the Emperor of Wei refused and insisted that Jing Ting investigate the case with him. Even if he wanted to take Deng Yuan away from Shangshu Taichung, he had to be arrested by Jing Ting's city defense force.

The reason why Emperor Wei did not allow the Dongfu Office to be fully responsible for the investigation of the Deng Yuan incident was because he was suspicious, afraid that this matter would be inseparable from Jiang Chengyi, and afraid that the Shui Pavilion would have any ill-telling plans for the court. After all, for many years, the Deng family has been the most important core force in the Wei Emperor's power. He was naturally worried that Jiang Chengyi, a person who came from the world and came out to investigate the situation halfway. Emperor Wei was suspicious and thoughtful, and the person he believed most was Jing Ting, who had been in charge of the entire capital city defense army for many years, and competed with the two guards of the imperial guards, and supervised each other.

The incident happened in the case of an explosion in the private house of Deng's mansion. Later, a burnt male corpse with a special gold utensil of Changshan Hou Mansion was found in the ruins, and it was confirmed that he was Shi An. Emperor Wei became even more concerned about the case.

In fact, Jiang Chengyi can see that although the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty is not inferior to that of the wise lord and lord Ming Emperor, he lacks a kind heart to share the worries of the world.

He was not kind enough, so when he was young, he fought with the powerful gentry left by the late emperor in the court, almost suppressing the imperial power, and focused on how to seize power. As long as the world is not in chaos and the people are not causing trouble, he would not consider whether the taxes in the world are heavy, nor do he personally understand the sufferings of the people.

All he worried about was his imperial power.

Over the years, Ning Zheng has been controlling the court and using his power to cover up the sky to oppress the common people. The Great Wei Dynasty complained endlessly, so in contrast, he resisted the powerful ministers with one's own strength, worked hard to manage and plan, and was determined to eliminate treacherous slander for the people and seek peace and peace for the world... The Emperor of Wei... was the wise monarch and holy lord in the hearts of everyone.

His hymns that love the people as much as his son are just because he pays more attention to winning the hearts of the people than Ning Zheng.

Such a country will continue day after day...how can there be good results?

Now, Emperor Wei attaches so much importance to the explosion of the Deng family's private house, and is not concerned about the seventy or so people who died in vain and were seriously injured, but is afraid that if the officials fail to handle the matter properly, it will cause the people of Luoyang to be angry and ask for an explanation. Therefore, he now wants to find out the truth. Even if the result is not found, he will find a scapegoat and push him to the guillotine to calm the public resentment.

Just yesterday, when he and Jing Ting found Shi An's body, the Emperor of Wei no longer cared about how to calm the public's grievances. He is now even more worried about why Shi An's body appeared in Deng Yuan's mansion? He is wondering whether this is the ancients of the Deng family; or the conspiracy made by the regent Ning Zheng; or the trap set by the Jiang family to get rid of stumbling blocks in order to get to power.

The road is a long way to know the power of horses, and people's hearts will be seen over time.

Jiang Chengyi used to believe that the Great Wei court in the mortal world was only caused by the slanderous ministers who had a powerful slander like Ning Zheng, which caused the world to be repeatedly disturbed. The border countries repeatedly invaded their territory... The emperor of the Great Wei, who was rumored to be a good person, had good character, and was devoted to the people, was only born in this era when the gentry covered the sky with only hands, and the relatives and royal family controlled the court affairs, could not display their ambitions and talents.

But when he really entered the court and became an official, he realized... Even if Qianji Office had recorded all the strange stories in the world and the turmoil in the court and the country... Even if he knew the court well, he actually did not really understand Emperor Wei.

Just as Jiang Chengyi was about to rush back to Dongfusi with Jing Ting, an old and calm male voice came from behind: "Let's wait!"

Jing Ting stopped and turned around with him to look behind him.

Deng Guozhong stood in front of them with a stern expression on his face: "What are the actions of the Grand Commander and the Master Jiang? You both have identities and are escorting my grandson like this... and I took the people away from the Shangshutai in an unknown way. Don't you think it's too much?"

Jing Ting respectfully bowed to Deng Guozhong and said, "I would like to ask the Grand Marshal to forgive me... The lower officials and the chief officer of Jiang also followed the order of His Majesty to dare to attack Lord Deng..."

Deng Guozhong sneered and said, "After your order, your Majesty? When will your Majesty allow you to arrest people privately? Especially you... Commander, what is the intention of bringing the city defense force?"

Jiang Chengyi said lightly: "Your Majesty did not order the City Defense Army to come and arrest people, but ordered the younger generation to take the City Defense Army to lead the noble prince of the Lingfu to go to the Sixiao of the East Mansion."

"Little Gather?" Deng Guozhong stared and sneered, "Jiang Chengyi, who do you think you are talking to? How dare you be arrogant in front of me? You and the commander rushed over with such a mighty momentum... You told me that you are just a small Gather? Do you think I will believe it?"

Jiang Chengyi said slowly, "It's a small gathering now. After I asked Lord Deng some things, I'll be in custody..."

Deng Guozhong said angrily: "What did you say?!"

Jiang Chengyi made a decisive decision: "The younger generation and the commander have found evidence to prove that the prince of your mansion is indeed related to the explosion in his private mansion..."

"What evidence?" Deng Guozhong said to him with a serious face: "Do you take it out and show me? Don't delay time with me here..."

Jiang Chengyi was not afraid of her and straightened her back and said to him: "The East Prefecture Department reviewed the suspected case, with the assistance of the city defense army, and the handwritten edict of Your Majesty... All contents in the case must not be informed by outsiders. Please forgive me for not responding to such rude requests by the Grand Marshal."

Deng Guozhong said in shock and angrily: "You! Do you dare to talk to me like this?"

Behind him, several guards from the Taiwei Mansion, were furious and waved at them, "Come on! Take back the young master!"
