An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Chapter 99: Thorough investigation, shocking the capital

Outside Xiyuan, Lu Wenyu and Eunuch Feng walked side by side. It had been raining for several hours, and now the sky was finally a lot brighter.

"Eunuch Feng, the cabinet... won't be reorganized because of this, right?" Lu Wenyu asked as he walked away, but the smile on his face didn't look like he was worried, but rather like he was joking with interest.

Although the palace road has been swept, it is still drizzling. Eunuch Feng is afraid of getting his shoes dirty, so he has to pay attention to his feet from time to time. Hearing Lu Wenyu's teasing words, he smiled.

"No. If it was Mr. Yang Ge and Mr. Xu Ge who said it, then it wouldn't be a matter of cabinet members leaving the cabinet. The re-election of the cabinet would be so trivial. But, Mr. Jiang Ge is different."

"Jiang Ge, a veteran of the Third Dynasty, is getting old again. Everyone knows that he wants to retire safely. The saint is benevolent and will not make it too difficult for an old minister who has worked hard for decades. In the past few years, Jiang Ge's son broke up and begged for his body. , the emperor rejected it four times just for today.”

The two of them talked about each other in passing, with the little eunuch behind him holding an umbrella. The two of them talked and laughed, pulling Jia Chang out of the palace. Eunuch Feng only walked to the palace gate, watched Lu Wenyu get on the carriage, and then walked back.

At the end of the morning, the interrogation that lasted all night finally came to an end. In the duty room, hundreds of households have already changed their posts and rested. As long as their subordinates have changed their posts, Zhao Jue and Yu Jielin's work will be temporarily over.

Yu Jielin, who had drank a lot of tea, looked gloomy. He had just asked his subordinates to buy breakfast, but they didn't come back, which made the always smiling Yu Jielin's face darken.

"Lao Yu, if you can't do it, go back first. I'm watching." In the inner room, Zhao just squinted for a while, yawned and walked out. He saw Yu Jielin's sad face and comforted him softly.

Yu Jielin raised his head, sighed helplessly, and his face became a little better, "Old Zhao, the confession is in my hands, it's not appropriate for me to leave first..."

Picking up the cold tea on the table, Zhao took a few sips to wake himself up, sat on an empty chair and stared at Yu Jielin with hungry eyes. Fortunately, footsteps were heard outside the door soon. Jiang Qianhu opened the door with a big bag of buns in his arms and said, "Master Yu, Master Zhao, please fill your stomach. After a night of tossing, not to mention people, even donkeys can't stand it!"

Their eyes lit up, they took the buns, and regardless of their appearance, they opened their bows with one hand and the other. A large bag of buns was wiped clean in a moment. The two of them wiped their mouths and leaned on the chairs, young and content.

Seeing this, Jiang Qianhu just smiled and said, "My two gentlemen, Commander Lu has given orders to go back and rest first. We have important events tonight..."

"Tonight?" Zhao looked at Jiang Qianhu in surprise.

"Yes." Jiang Qianhu found a chair and sat down, and continued, "Commander Lu said that the emperor was furious after reading the confession and demanded a thorough investigation of the assassin, even if the capital was turned upside down. Jin Yiwei acted cheaply, and there were Anyone who is wrong can be arrested. You two adults will go back to rest first, and then come to Zhao Prison in Xu Shi."

Yu Jielin glanced at Zhao in surprise, and Zhao shook his head to indicate that he didn't know either. The two of them simply didn't guess and went home to sleep. Anyway, they would know everything tonight.

He stood up and said goodbye to Jiang Qianhu and hurried out. After a busy night, Zhao just wanted to go home and lie down on the bed, like a breathing corpse.

"Master Zhao, remember to wear official uniform when you come over tonight." Jiang Qianhu warned from behind.

Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly, "I got it."

Walking out of Zhao Prison in the rain, I walked towards the yard with my hands behind my back. I passed by a bun shop and bought a dozen buns for Zhao Cai. I didn't know what Zhao Cai, a silly dog, was doing at home.

Holding Baozi in one hand, he pushed open the courtyard door, eagerly approached Zhao, wagging his tail towards Zhao. Zhao leaned over and touched its head, put the buns in the basin on the floor, let the lucky dog ​​pounce on the food, stretched himself, and walked to the room.

On Yunjie, teams of royal guards braved the drizzle to surround the residence of the Minister of Household Affairs. Just as the concierge was about to speak, Jiang Qianhu slapped the concierge directly in the face.

"Go away, it's none of your business. If you don't wake up after a slap, I don't mind taking you to Zhao Prison for fun."

Jiang Qianhu turned around, glanced at the crowd of people watching, and shouted, "Jin Yiwei is doing something, no one is waiting, let's disperse."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked in. The Minister of Household Affairs had just put on his official uniform and saw some people coming in. He asked curiously, "Everyone, what are you doing in my house?"

Looking at the panic-stricken Minister of Hube, Jiang Qianhu took off his waistband and said, "Jinyiwei is on duty, Minister He, you and your servants come with me."

"Let's go? What did He do? I won't leave until you give me an explanation." He Shilang turned his head and didn't bother to look at Jiang Qianhu.

"Qiang."

Jiang Qianhu, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, drew out his embroidered spring knife and pointed it at He Shilang, "Resisting the order and disobeying it, right? He Shilang is so brave!"

The imperial guards behind him drew their swords and stared at He Shilang with evil eyes. He Shilang was furious, his face changed drastically, he took a trembling step back, and defended himself, "The official did not resist or disobey the order, the official just..."

Jiang Qianhu held the knife and said coldly, "The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the barbarian assassins in the capital. He Shilang protected the assassins. Isn't it rebellion and disobedience?"

"To go or not to go?"

Facing Jiang Qianhu's cold gaze, He Shilang was sweating continuously, his legs were trembling, and his voice was a little weaker, "I didn't say... I won't leave..."

"Take it away." Sheathing the sword, Jiang Qianhu said coldly, "Leave a few people to search carefully. Look carefully to make sure you don't miss anything."

When He Shilang heard this, he was so frightened that he became paralyzed, his vision went dark and he rushed forward. Jiang Qianhu had quick eyes and quick hands. He stepped forward and grabbed He Shilang's collar, and ordered Xiao Qi behind him, "Take it back and leave the two brothers to watch. If there is anyone suspicious, report immediately."

"Let's go." Captain Jiang turned and walked out.

The Jinyiwei came and went quickly. In just a short moment, the streets returned to normal. However, people on the roadside and in the restaurant looked at each other with horror. The capital was about to change.

At the same time, the same thing happened in many mansions in the capital as in the mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The Jinyiwei came and went in a hurry, moving around in different streets and mansions in the capital. Many officials were sent to Zhaoyu before they even had time to put on their clothes. Jinyiwei kept walking around on the street. Everyone who saw this scene was scared and anxious. They hurried home and were too scared to go out.

But all this had nothing to do with Zhao Jue. At this time, Zhao Jue was sleeping soundly in bed. It was not until it was completely dark that Zhao Jue slowly got up.

After washing up, Zhao Jue put on his official uniform and hat, and put on his waist badge and embroidered spring sword. After preparing food and drink for Zhaocai, he went out and walked to the restaurant.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, staring at Zhao with wide eyes in horror. Zhao ordered a table of food and drinks without caring, and ate hurriedly, pretending not to see the eyes of the crowd.

It was not until Zhao finished eating and walked out of the restaurant that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed their saliva, patted their chests, and breathed a sigh of relief as if they had survived a disaster.

"I was scared to death, I almost thought I couldn't get out of the door, this guy is not a centurion, right?"

"Century? That's the pacification envoy! Don't say it, if someone hears it, he will come back and chop you up, and he is right!"

"Eat, eat..."
