After hearing his daughter's thoughts, Xia Zhengqi's face suddenly darkened.
Although I had heard from my daughter before that the commander of the imperial guards was a man of Grand Tutor Jiang, but there were too many things to do today and I really forgot about Wei Jianzhong.
If it weren't for his daughter's reminder, the 100,000 imperial guards in the hands of the Jiang Party would be a fatal threat to the imperial city.
The prince was also extremely shocked after hearing his sister's reminder.
I must remind my father, otherwise it will be useless even if I chop off the heads of all 14 people today.
"By the way, father, didn't you say that the commander of the imperial guards was also Grand Tutor Jiang's man?" The prince pretended to have suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, the 100,000 imperial guards cannot be underestimated." Xia Zhengqi nodded.
"Now, we urgently need to find evidence of Wei Jianzhong's crimes."
"But now it's clear that Wei Jianzhong hasn't violated any laws, so we have no reason to arrest him."
The prince slapped his head suddenly and said, "I got it! Why not let my second brother go to the Imperial Guards' garrison and investigate?"
"He enjoys horseback riding and archery, and often goes to the Imperial Guards' drill grounds to practice. Although he doesn't have much in common with Wei Jianzhong, he's very familiar with several of the Imperial Guards' coaches and battalion commanders."
"Chengnian acts recklessly. Can he go?" Xia Zhengqi frowned slightly.
"My second brother is grown up now and has made considerable progress in appearance. Father should give him a chance to gain experience." The prince looked at Xia Zhengqi sincerely.
"Okay, let him do it."
The summer in Beijing is dry and hot, and the midday sun is even scorching.
The prince did not even have time to have lunch, so he took people to search the Jiang and Sun mansions.
The Jiang family is the most prestigious family in the capital, and the scale of their mansion is very large. Even though the prince brought two hundred people, the search progress was still very slow.
Before they knew it, it was already time to light the lamps, and they hadn't even finished searching half of the Jiang Mansion.
The prince continued to stay in Jiang Mansion and divided the people into two groups, one group to work and the other group to rest, taking turns.
Late at night, the prison of the Ministry of Justice was completely silent. The prisoners were all curled up on the dirty straw and asleep, and the few night watchmen were also drowsy in their chairs.
Suddenly, a cloud of white smoke spread out.
After a while, several jailers fell on the table as if their spines had been pulled out, and fell into a deep sleep.
A tall man, covered from head to toe in a black robe, walked into the prison.
He calmly walked to the prison door of Grand Tutor Jiang, took out a small hollow bamboo tube, blew a puff of smoke at Grand Tutor Jiang, and the sleepy Grand Tutor Jiang slowly woke up.
Master Jiang looked up blankly at the man in black: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that I can save you." The man in black said indifferently.
"Why did you save me?" Master Jiang was shocked.
"Because you are useful to our master." The man in black curled his lips.
"Can you really rescue me?" Master Jiang's shrewd eyes rolled around.
"As long as you do as I say..." The man in black, Ruili, stared at Master Jiang.
Master Jiang nodded slowly.
The next day came in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, the second prince Xia Chengnian took his sister to the Imperial Stables to select a few horses.
[Yeah! Yeah! I'm going out to play. I'm so happy!]
[My little princess Miao'er has left the palace! ]
[The princess arrives...]
[By the way, Erguoguo, where are we going? ]
Xia Miaoyuan was just about to imitate the eunuchs' usual calls when he suddenly realized that he still didn't know where he was going to play today.
At this time, Xia Chengnian carried his sister in a basket on his back, riding a tall white horse, and walked slowly all the way to the gate of the palace.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
“It’s unfair!”
A burst of noise suddenly came into Xia Miaoyuan's ears.
The guards at the gate respectfully opened the palace gate for the second prince.
Xia Miaoyuan took the opportunity to look outside the palace gate.
【oops! 】
This glance really scared her.
There were dozens of people, men and women, young and old, all kneeling outside the palace gate.
[They must be the relatives of those treacherous officials.]
Xia Miaoyuan guessed it instantly.
[It seems we need to find evidence as quickly as possible. With so many people kneeling outside the palace gates, the emperor must be under immense pressure from public opinion.]
Seeing this scene, Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but worry about Xia Zhengqi.
The second prince and his entourage headed towards the outskirts of the capital.
The scenery outside Beijing is wild and full of vitality, with dense weeds and bright wild flowers everywhere.
Xia Miaoyuan looked east and west, feeling that his eyes were not enough.
【Oh, so it’s the suburbs of Beijing! 】
The scenery in the countryside is so beautiful! I wish I could go there more often.
The Second Prince couldn't help but feel better when he heard his sister's happy voice.
Soon, they arrived at the camp outside Beijing.
"The second prince is here! Please come in!" the soldier guarding the gate said attentively.
Immediately afterwards, a fat battalion officer heard the noise and trotted over to greet the second prince.
"Your Highness, are you here to practice archery today? Oh, why did you bring a baby with you?"
"This is Princess Anguo." The second prince said lightly.
"Oh, so this is the famous little princess! She is so cute." The fat battalion officer hurriedly flattered her.
"No archery today. I'm bringing the princess out to play. The horses are tired, let's come here to water them." The second prince said as he got off the horse.
The fat battalion commander immediately called a few soldiers and took the horses of the second prince and his entourage to drink water and eat food.
The second prince leisurely carried Xia Miaoyuan on his back and walked to the martial arts field.
