Qin Yunzhi was shocked: "Master Lu?"
"Exactly!"
Lu Pingzhi, the third in command of the Privy Council, held the same rank as Qin Yunzhi, the Deputy Privy Councilor. How could Qin Yunzhi not be alarmed?
"What crime did he commit?" Qin Yunzhi couldn't believe it.
Wang Dabao just smiled and didn't answer.
Qin Yunzhi understood that he had been too talkative. How could the people from the Tiger Yasi reveal such a crime to him?
"Lord Lu is in the review room." Qin Yunzhi pointed to the west room. The fact that the Tiger Yamen dared to arrest a member of the Privy Council was naturally at the emperor's behest, and he didn't dare to stop him.
"Let's go!" Wang Dabao waved his hand, and the people from Hu Yasi behind him rushed forward.
Lu Pingzhi was checking the household registration files of the Imperial Guards in the review room when Wang Dabao and his men suddenly broke in.
Everyone was shocked. The Privy Council, the highest military headquarters of the Song Dynasty, these illegitimate lackeys of the Tiger Court showed up unexpectedly.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" Lu Pingzhi slammed the table and stood up.
Wang Dabao took out the Tiger Commander card and said, "Sir Lu, please come with us."
The officials of the Privy Council were ready to make a move. It was too arrogant to come to the Privy Council to arrest people.
Wang Dabao glanced at the officials coldly: "The Tiger Yasi is handling the case with special permission from the emperor. Anyone who interferes will be considered treason!"
Upon hearing this, no one in the Privy Council dared to move.
Lu Pingzhi was secretly frightened. He knew what would happen if he went to the Tiger Yasi: "What if I don't go?"
"According to the imperial decree, the Tiger Court is here to bring someone. All officials must obey! Come, invite Lord Lu to the Tiger Court."
Two officials from the Tiger Yasi came up and grabbed Lu Pingzhi. Lu Pingzhi shouted, "What are you doing? Come here, come here!"
None of the Privy Council officials dared to step forward, and they just watched Lu Pingzhi being escorted out of the Privy Council by Hu Yasi.
The interrogation room of Hu Ya Si.
When Lu Pingzhi arrived, he found that Zuo Heng and Zhao Ye had been captured.
Lu Pingzhi was furious: "What crime have we committed? Why are you arresting us?"
"You are trying to accuse me of something. Where is justice?" Zhao Ye said angrily.
Only Zuo Heng said nothing, but it was obvious that he was very nervous.
Wang Dabao sneered: "You three were plotting a rebellion in Zuixinglou! You could hide it from others, but how could you hide it from us, Hu Yasi?"
The three were shocked. How could Hu Yasi know what they said in Zuixinglou that day?
Wang Dabao saw the three men's nervous expressions and understood everything: "Torture these three people until they confess!"
The matter was of great importance, so Wang Dabao went to find Zheng Xian, the commander of the command department, to explain the whole story clearly.
But Zheng Xian was not there. He had gone to the eastern suburbs to measure the land.
"Prepare the horse, East Suburb!" Wang Dabao rode his horse straight to the outskirts of East Suburb.
"Sir! Sir! Urgent military information!" Wang Dabao shouted from afar.
Zheng Xian frowned slightly. Wang Dabao would not come to see him unless something big happened.
"Deputy Envoy Wang, what happened?"
Before he could stop his horse, Wang Dabao said breathlessly, "There's some clue in the assassination of His Majesty."
"What!" Zheng Xian was shocked and asked for clues.
Wang Dabao then explained the whole story of Guihua's report from Zuixinglou, and also told about how he had captured Zuo Heng and three others.
"Deputy Envoy Wang, well done! Let's go back to Hu Yasi!" Zheng Xian took the reins sent by his subordinates, jumped on the horse, and galloped into the city with Wang Dabao.
When the two of them arrived at the Tiger Court, the official came to report: "Sir, Zuo Heng has confessed."
Wang Dabao and Zheng Xian were overjoyed that he confessed so quickly. They looked at each other and ran to the interrogation room.
Arriving at the torture chamber, they discovered that Zuo Heng and the other two had been whipped until they were bleeding. These pampered officials had never been subjected to such torture before, and they knew everything and confessed everything.
"Sir, this is the confession!" The officer sent the confession over, and Zheng Xian was shocked when he saw it.
"Return to the palace!"
Wang Dabao was surprised that Envoy Zheng did not continue to interrogate Zuo Heng, but went straight to the palace.
Wang Dabao followed behind: "Sir, what happened?"
Zheng Xian hurriedly said, "Prince Kang is plotting a rebellion, and Zuo Heng is one of his men. He has instigated Zhao Ye and Lu Pingzhi to orchestrate a coup. Return to the palace immediately!"
Wang Dabao was frightened. It was a rebellion and the world was going to change.
Zheng Xian and Wang Dabao were even more shocked when they arrived at the palace. The palace had suddenly seen countless extra guards, and it looked like the weather was truly changing. They hurried to Wende Hall but were stopped.
"I want to see His Majesty." Zheng Xian said.
Zhao Huan issued an order that any tiger officials who entered the palace could report directly to the emperor, and no one could stop them.
Zheng Xian and Wang Dabao were both eunuchs in the palace and were old acquaintances. He recognized Ba Sanmao, the official in charge of clothing.
At this time, Ba Sanmao saluted and said, "Sir Zheng, your Majesty has gone hunting in Maoer Mountain in the southern suburbs."
"What!" Zheng Xian and Wang Dabao's faces turned pale. Despite their loyalty to the Emperor, they also knew the principle that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. If Prince Kang's rebellion succeeded, they would both be killed without a burial place.
"Return to the Tiger Yamen and mobilize everyone to the Southern Suburbs Maoer Mountain!"
"Gather! Gather! Gather everyone!" As soon as Wang Dabao arrived at the door of Hu Yasi, he shouted anxiously.
The officers at the door were still hesitant, and Zheng Xian shouted angrily, "Didn't you hear? Assemble!"
The officers rushed in hastily, and the Tiger Yasi was immediately thrown into chaos. After a long time, excluding those on duty, the Tiger Yasi officers had gathered about a thousand people.
Zheng Xian's face was solemn. He couldn't help but be solemn: "Someone is trying to assassinate Your Majesty and usurp the throne!"
With a cry of "Whoa!", the faces of all the officials in the Tiger Yasi changed drastically.
