At night,

Xiao Jingli returned to the palace under the escort of a hundred personal soldiers and the golden tiger and golden leopard.

Back to the study,

Yue Li walked in.

"Your Highness, have a cup of tea."

"good"

"Sister Yue, has everything been arranged at the mansion?"

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. Everyone has received New Year's money and rice, flour and cloth."

"That's good"

"What about Luowang?"

"Qin Yi has already reported that, just like in previous years, everyone has New Year's money."

"The Cangbing Valley also held a New Year banquet, and the good wine and food had been sent over long ago."

"As for other places, local leaders have also made proper arrangements."

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Yue Li reported

"That's good!"

"Although they are now living in darkness, we should also give them some warmth on New Year's Eve."

"After all, they are not cold killers, and I am not the leader of a killer organization."

Xiao Jingli nodded and felt relieved.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard, leave the necessary people here, and let the rest go and rest."

"Sister Yue, you should also go to bed early."

"Forget it, just accompany me."

Xiao Jingli stood up and prepared to leave the study.

"Your Highness."

A Luowang member came over and said,"Your Highness, Xie Yu sent Zhuo Dingfeng to kill a group of eunuchs and the Imperial Guards who were delivering food outside the palace wall." I almost forgot about it.

Xiao Jingli thought for a moment and waved his hand:"I know, go down, and we'll talk about it tomorrow"

"Your Highness, there is one more thing!"

"What's the matter?"

"Lord Yan told Yan Yujin everything about his plan to assassinate Emperor Liang and Mei Changsu's attempt to persuade him tonight."

"Well, it's good to know. Let's go down."

"Yes!"

Xiao Jingli carried Yue Li back to the bedroom.......

The next day.

New Year's Day.

The first day of the new year.

The palace.

Emperor Liang looked at Meng Zhi kneeling below and angrily threw the white jade cup on the table over to him.

"Bang!

The fine white jade cup smashed to the ground and broke into pieces. Meng Zhi quickly lowered his head.

"Meng Zhi!"

"What a bad job you have!"

"I gave you the responsibility of guarding the palace, but you neglected to allow someone to kill someone outside my palace walls!"

Emperor Liang said angrily.

"I failed in my duty as a guard, and I accept the blame!"

Meng Zhi bowed and said

"Confess a crime? What crime?"

"On New Year's Eve, the eunuch I appointed couldn't even save his life under the protection of the imperial guards!"

"How can I trust you to protect this palace!!!"

Emperor Liang shouted

"I have no excuse!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Meng Zhi kowtowed.

"Meng Zhi failed to protect the enemy properly. His crime is unforgivable. He shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane!" Emperor Liang looked at Meng Zhi expressionlessly.

"Yes!"

The imperial guards received the order.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Meng Zhi kowtowed.

"Meng Zhi, I will give you 30 days to thoroughly investigate this case. If you cannot find the murderer, I will hold you accountable!" Emperor Liang ordered

"Yes!"

Meng Zhi accepted the order helplessly..........

Ming Palace.

Back garden.

Xiao Jingli was eating his morning tea in the flowers.

Looking at the exquisite snacks on the table, Xiao Jingli ate them one by one.

When he was done, he took a sip from the teacup.

New Year's morning, a beautiful day

""Your Highness!"

Luowang personnel came over.

"Is it about the prison guards who were killed last night?"

Xiao Jingli asked while eating without raising his head.

"yes!"

"The news just came back from the palace, and Emperor Liang was furious. He took advantage of his anger to vent his anger and beat Meng Zhi with 20 military sticks."

"Moreover, they are ordered to solve the case within 30 days, otherwise there will be severe punishment!"

"Now that the news has spread, I'm sure other people will know it soon."

Luowang staff reported

"Got it, let's go down"

"Yes!"

Xiao Jingli picked up the teacup and took a sip, then wiped his mouth.

"This Xie Yu struggled before death"

"Stupid move."

"Even if Meng Zhi was removed from the position of commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, it would be impossible for you, Xie Yu, to get this position."

"You still underestimated the father."

"If he is afraid of Lin Xie, won’t he be afraid of you?"

"ridiculous"

"You are already in charge of the 50,000 patrol battalions. How can your father let you take charge of the 50,000 imperial guards?"

"You have an army of 100,000 in Nanjing in your hands. Doesn't this mean that your father's life is in your hands?"

"However, no matter how this matter turns out, someone from the Imperial Guards will have to take the blame. My father will certainly use this as a warning to the entire Imperial Guards, using both kindness and force. Meng Zhi will not step down easily, so it is likely that Deputy Commander Zhu will take the blame."

"Golden Tiger!"

"Your Highness!"

"Send a message to Luowang, have Deputy Commander Zhu leave the Imperial Guards in a month, and then let our people take over."

Xiao Jingli ordered

"Yes!"

Jin Hu walked towards Luo Wang.

"In this way, the 50,000 imperial guards, the 50,000 patrol battalions, the deputy commander and most of the middle and high-level generals will all be my people."

Xiao Jingli smiled and said

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"If so, then as long as His Highness sends someone to capture Commander Meng and Commander Ouyang of the Patrol Battalion, then he can command the 100,000-man army to do anything!"

Golden Leopard congratulated him.

"Happy New Year indeed!"

"New Year, new atmosphere!"

Xiao Jingli said with emotion

Xiao Jingli not only grew a year older, but also gained a new skill.

It was after the pursuit of Xia Dong outside the city that he came back to learn the tracking and anti-tracking skills.

At that time, if it weren't for Xia Dong's reminder, Xiao Jingli really didn't know that there were so many people in the river.

After that, Xiao Jingli also realized the brilliance and necessity of this skill!

However, due to the short time, only a few months, Xiao Jingli has not yet practiced this skill to a high level.

On the contrary, the emperor's mind, due to the frequent thinking of strategies and handling of official business in this year, naturally upgraded from the eighth grade to the seventh grade..
