At the beginning of the Mao hour, Eunuch Jia arrived at the Ding'an Earl's Mansion.
Xu Xinyan had taken Zhang Pei'er to the side courtyard to rest, while Fu Xiaoguan was still waiting for news from Eunuch Jia.
"Your Highness, I have fulfilled your mission."
Fu Xiaoguan glanced at Eunuch Jia's tattered clothes and frowned: "Is the idea difficult?"
Eunuch Jia chuckled, "A big fish, Song Qingtian, the leader of the Sword Mountain, fought for ten moves."
"Did he kill him?"
"He was already injured... I think he was injured by your Highness's divine weapon outside Jianmen City. He wasn't killed, but I broke his sword with my last blow and captured him alive."
Fu Xiaoguan was overjoyed, "Where are the people?"
"This old servant has crippled his martial arts skills. He is dying, so I gave him to Queen Shang."
This Song Qingtian was the instigator of the Wulin Post. Eunuch Jia did this because, firstly, this person was of no significance to Fu Xiaoguan, and secondly, he was doing Queen Shang a huge favor.
Fu Xiaoguan believed that Queen Shang definitely had the means to make this former Saint-level master change her words and clear her of the identity that was now known to the world.
For Fu Xiaoguan, that identity didn't matter at all, but it was not the case for Queen Shang.
She is the mother of a country!
She must be clean and spotless, otherwise if someone in the court creates trouble, her identity as the second elder of the Baiyue Sect's Strategy Sect could cause a big problem.
"Very good. How are your injuries?"
After all, it is a holy level. Eunuch Jia said it easily, but Fu Xiaoguan knew that it must be extremely dangerous.
"It's fine. Two days of recuperation should be fine."
"Don't lie to me. By the way, isn't Senior Brother coming back soon? I'll ask him to take a look at you when he comes back."
Eunuch Jia felt warm in his heart, "Thank you, Your Highness... Now there is a problem. My identity as an old slave worker has been exposed. It is not appropriate for me to return to Your Majesty's side. After all, I am working for the Wu Dynasty."
Fu Xiaoguan laughed and said, "Alright, just come to my house and I'll support you."
"This... I have to go to the palace today and resign from my position as the eunuch announcing imperial decrees. Your Highness is about to go to Wofeng Road. This is what I think. Your Highness has two personal masters, Xu Xinyan and Zhang Pei'er, by his side, and also Ning Siyan. His safety should be safe. On the contrary, it is this Ding'an Marquis' Mansion."
Eunuch Jia looked up and said, "I will serve as a gatekeeper in the Ding'an Marquis's mansion. When His Highness returns, I will go with him."
…
…
Fu Xiaoguan entered the palace with Eunuch Jia.
Eunuch Jia went to the imperial study alone, while Fu Xiaoguan went to the Dali Temple.
The ant colony has already compiled three pages of information about Huang Zhong's misdeeds in the Censorate. Of course, Fu Xiaoguan has to use this evidence to write something.
On the main wall of the Dali Temple's lobby hangs the eight large characters "Be virtuous and clear about the law, investigate things and strive for justice" written by His Majesty himself, making it seem that this place is more law-abiding.
Of course, the originally extremely majestic Dali Temple Minister Su Shanyue still received Fu Xiaoguan very cordially.
In Su Shanyue's office, he brewed another pot of cloud mist and said with a smile, "Look at Ding'an Bo's face, he looks quite tired. I'm not here to gossip, but there is no end to the work in the court. Ding'an Bo is still young, so he must take good care of himself so that he can do better for the country and the people in the future!"
Official Fu grinned, "Sir Su, you wouldn't believe me, but the fortune teller said I was destined to be a hard-working person... I came here today, firstly to thank Sir Su for arresting those old men who slandered me, and secondly, I want to go and see that Master Huang Zhonghuang."
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then continued, "Do you think I'm being wronged? Ever since those old men from the Censorate impeached me last time, I didn't bother them, but instead they threw that dirty water on me."
Fu Xiaoguan shook his head and sighed, "I'm most afraid of this kind of trouble, so I want to go see Mr. Huang and ask him why."
Su Shanyue raised his inverted s-shaped eyebrows, and he knew in his heart that Mr. Huang would probably spend the rest of his life in prison.
"It is my duty to protect the reputation of Lord Ding'an. Lord Ding'an, please do not say thank you. I cannot bear it! I will send someone to take Lord Ding'an to the prison. He is not imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison, but in the Ministry of Justice Prison."
Fu Xiaoguan thought for a moment and asked, "After Xi Xunmei left, who is the Minister of Justice now?"
"Your Majesty has not yet issued an order. Yang Pengju, the former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, will temporarily take over..."
Su Shanyue paused, then continued, "However, I'm afraid Yang Pengju is not in the office today. Regarding what happened in the palace yesterday, His Majesty ordered Yang Pengju to work with the Jinling government to round up those in the underworld in Jinling City."
Fu Xiaoguan nodded. He naturally knew about this matter, but he didn't have much impression of Yang Pengju.
Ning Yuchun of the Jinling government office was transferred to Wofengdao to serve as the prefect, and the current Jinling prefect is Jin Haozhi, who was promoted locally and was formerly the Captain of the Jin Captain.
This guy has had a bad year. He just took office and encountered such a big thing. If something really went wrong in the palace last night, his head would probably be off by now.
"Yu Wenshu, where is he now?"
"In the clan house, Earl Ding'an, please don't get close to this person." Su Shanyue said this seriously. He was quite worried that the young official in front of him would have other thoughts.
"I just asked casually, but I didn't want to have any further contact with this guy."
"That's great."
…
The sunlight streamed in through the small window of the prison, but Huang Zhong was curled up in the corner of the dark cell.
He felt a little cold.
Two days ago, his son came to see him and said that a robber broke into his house and took away a box from his study.
The moment he heard the news, he felt as if the sky had fallen.
The son said that the people who came were strong men, not officials from the Jinling government office.
Those strong men did not touch any of the money in the house, they just took away the box!
This shows that the visitor's purpose is very clear and he holds his lifeline in his hands.
A fatal blow!
The box contained two property deeds. Those two houses were given to him by Lord Qin Huizhi three years ago!
And he also kept two concubines in those two houses. Those two concubines were also given to him by Lord Qin!
Could it be that Lord Qin gave the instructions?
It must be Lord Qin who gave the order!
Otherwise, why would those strong men directly find the most deadly thing?
This damn old thief!
I was willing to offend Fu Xiaoguan for him. He had promised to transfer me to the Yellow River South Road to be the governor after the matter was accomplished. I didn't expect that he would fail and sell me out!
He felt hopeless and that the sunlight, which was originally extremely precious, had become even more dazzling.
The prison door creaked open.
Huang Zhong raised his head like a frightened bird, took a closer look... and suddenly felt even more desperate.
Fu Xiaoguan walked in leisurely, squatted beside Huang Zhong, and laughed.
"Master Huang, we meet again."
