With the minzhuang sent by the magistrate of Xianghe County bringing wine and meat, and the 500 elite troops brought by Xuancheng school captain Guo Zhenlu, the journey was naturally smooth, and Chen Zhao's team arrived at Jinmen Guards safely.

But this incident also attracted the attention of the emperor, the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

In the important land of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, there are actually soldiers who dare to rob and kill high-ranking officials of the imperial court?

If there was no one organizing it behind the scenes, no one would believe it!

Check, must check!

Soon, news came one after another.

Whether it's the Ministry of Punishment, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, the Dragon Guards, or the Jinyi Guards, they all found corresponding clues from various channels.

The emperor got the news from Sha Jinrui immediately.

"Liu Yidao, the housekeeper of Liu Hailong, the uncle of Dingyuan, has a woman in Xicheng. This woman has an affair with a gangster. The gangster lives on the money given by the woman. Yesterday, the gangster boasted about it when he was gambling in Nancheng.

He said that his mother-in-law gave him fifty taels of silver. It is said that Liu Yidao asked someone to kill an official who had offended their young master on the way. He dug out three hundred taels from the three thousand taels of silver he had a relationship with and gave it to the woman.

One hundred taels..."

This news was heard by people in the casino, and they treated it as a bragging anecdote and told it to the guards who came to check.

After the Jinyiwei was reorganized, their combat effectiveness was very strong. After getting the news, they reported it as soon as possible. So Zhang Heqing immediately reported the news to Sha Jinrui. Lao Sha was able to secure his position in the capital, all thanks to Chen Zhao who passed the Jinshi examination and his capable subordinates.

They are all Chen Zhao's people, so they always pay great attention to Chen Zhao's affairs.

So the emperor got the news immediately.

"The Liu family of Dingyuan Bo performed meritorious service in the war during the reign of the Supreme Emperor. After I ascended the throne, I allowed him to be raised in the capital. I didn't expect that this family acted unscrupulously. Liu Rujian raped a common girl before, and now he has done such an evil thing.

"Originally, I didn't want to be known as someone who treated heroes harshly, but now it's become like this. Xia Shouzhong, the people from the Royal Horse Prison will go tonight to hold people accountable!"

"The slave obeys the order."

Xia Shouzhong was about to kowtow and leave, when Emperor Xiaode suddenly stretched out his hand again.

"Wait a minute! How dare a mere member of the Liu family dare to offend Chen Zhao? Well, let's pass on the order. Why don't we demote the Fang family and just ask Liu Rujian?"

"yes!"

Xia Shouzhong left.

At this time, there was only the emperor in the study, Dai Quan and the Long Imperial Guard commanded Tong Lin.

"Tong Lin, this matter is not that simple. You have to tighten it inside and loosen it outside, and check carefully to see who is behind Liu Hailong!"

"I obey the decree."

…

In the study room of Nanwang Mansion, Xia Yongchang, the crown prince of Nanwang, was walking around with his hands behind his back and a sad look on his face.

But Nan Wang Xia Ruofeng sat quietly without raising his eyelids.

Sword Saint Ye Gucheng also sat calmly, with no expression on his face.

After walking back and forth for a long time, Xia Yongchang suddenly stopped and looked at Xia Ruofeng: "Father..."

"It's okay, just keep walking. You can sit still and don't feel dizzy."

Xia Ruofeng acted as if nothing had happened.

"Father, we failed in this matter..."

"Oh, so what?"

"If it fails, won't we have to worry about that person named Chen again?"

"Haha, you are still too young. Look at your master, then look at you. What kind of swordsmanship and qigong do you practice?" Xia Ruofeng said calmly.

Xia Yongchang's face turned red, and he looked at Ye Gucheng, who still looked as calm as an old monk in meditation, and then took a deep breath.

"Yongchang, you have to remember that before the matter is over, don't talk about failure lightly. If you talk about failure lightly, then the matter is over!"

What does our relationship have to do with him? That Liu Rujian is bound to die anyway, so why do we need to do anything?"

"Father, you know that I don't care about Liu Rujian. I am worried about alerting the enemy and making Chen Zhao pay attention to the capital. Let's..."

"Joke!" Xia Ruofeng waved his hand, "That centaur is from Jinmen, and the person responsible for contacting it is the person from Dingyuan Uncle's Mansion. Even if he has to pay attention, Chen Zhao will only notice this. Even if he wants to dig out the behind, it's not

Such an easy thing is beyond his reach."

"But His Majesty has imperial guards and dragon guards..." Xia Yongchang said.

"Jinyi Guards? Dragon Guards?" Xia Ruofeng laughed and looked at Ye Gucheng: "Master Ye, what do you think of the situation?"

"The situation is under the control of the prince. If the Jinyi Guards and the Dragon Guards take any action, they will be counterattacked immediately." Ye Gucheng said calmly.

"Okay, I'll just wait for the good news from Master Ye."

…

In Dingyuan Bo's Mansion in the capital, there are many guests on weekdays.

Because of his meritorious service in the grassland, the two generations of emperors were favored by him, but today, everything has changed.

"...Dingyuan Bo Liu Hailong was demoted to a higher rank and stayed at home to think about his mistakes...Liu Rujian was cruel and rebellious. He did such unthinkable things and was sent to prison and handed over to the supervisor for punishment..."

The eunuch who announced the decree recited the imperial edict expressionlessly, and you could see that the bodies of several people kneeling behind Liu Hailong began to tremble.

You are demoted to a higher rank, from uncle to son, but no one naively thinks that this is the end of it. This demotion means that the royal family no longer has any affection for you, and all kinds of bad things will happen next.

After the eunuch announced the edict, the Liu family wanted to thank him for accepting the edict. The eunuch disgustedly handed the imperial edict into Uncle Dingyuan's hands. Seeing that Uncle Dingyuan still wanted to say something, the eunuch ignored him and turned around to go out.

The gate of Dingyuan Bo's Mansion opened, and the streets outside were filled with soldiers dressed as Yumajian, led by Yumajian, who was sent to punish Baihu. Seeing the eunuch who announced the decree come out, Baihu led the people and swarmed in.

As the soldiers and soldiers poured in, Uncle Dingyuan began to scream and cry, but Uncle Dingyuan's family members knelt there and did not dare to move.

Dingyuan Bo Liu Hailong knelt there and said in a cold voice:

"Liu Rujian, if you still think you are a member of the Liu family, just take that medicine. You beast has done so many evil things to the Liu family. You should have been thrown into the pond and drowned when you were born."

There was no color on Liu Rujian's face, and his whole body was shaking as if he was shaking. He was holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and his finger joints were clenched and turned white.

"……Fast food!!"

"...bastard, don't let everyone do what you did..."

The people kneeling over there were all Liu Rujian's brothers and uncles, but everyone was gnashing their teeth and asking Liu Rujian to take the medicine. The trembling of Liu Rujian's body had turned into violent swings, and his lips were opening and closing but he couldn't say anything.

After saying this, he straightened up stiffly, struggled to remove the stopper of the small porcelain bottle, and tried to bring it to his mouth, but he couldn't get it to his mouth.

Royal Horse Inspector Baihu walked over with a frown on his face, holding an unsheathed long sword in his hand. He pulled away the other Liu family members, leaned over and grabbed Liu Rujian's hair, and dragged him away, regardless of those behind him.

The dumbfounded man sneered as he walked and said:

"How can such a handsome young man have the ability to control the children left by your ancestors? Let's talk about it one by one after going to prison!!"
