What He Lingchuan was waiting for was not You Rongzhi, but Zhao Song, who had just returned from the palace.
He went to Gong Mianjun this morning to report on his work. Of course, he mainly talked about He Xiao's recent words and deeds, which was simply called a snitch.
Seeing his strange expression, He Lingchuan asked with concern: "Brother Zhao, what happened?"
Zhao Song's lips moved, hesitating whether to say anything or not.
But then I thought about it. He Xiao was very well-informed. If I didn't hear it from him, there were other channels.
So he took He Lingchuan to a corner and whispered: "Last night, Tingwei took the palace guards to arrest someone."
This is very important. Do ordinary people need Tingwei to take action?
"who?"
"Hu Ganying, the left envoy of the Chayi Guard, Wang Zuo, the magistrate of Tianshui City East, and I heard that there are two senior officials from the Ministry of War. I am not sure of their names yet."
He Lingchuan was surprised: "What do you mean?"
"The Tingwei captured them and locked them up in a prison for interrogation. So far, no one has figured out their charges."
Zhao Song only knew one thing: Tingwei was also acting on the orders of King Yao, no doubt.
"Are these officials related to each other in some way?"
Zhao Song shook his head: "I don't know."
He has been in the court for many years, and he knows that gossip must be measured. Some words can be said casually, but some words must not be speculated on, otherwise it will be a trivial matter to lose one's official position.
He Lingchuan had been hanging out in Tianshui City for so long, and after entering the palace for a few days, he became more and more familiar with King Yao's temper. This old man was a bit headstrong, but at the same time he was not a resolute person. He suddenly ordered the Tingwei to arrest the person without even giving a clue.
The reason, regardless of the opinions of the government and the public, means that——
Either he was so angry that he couldn't care less about the impact; or the crime committed by these people was so big that King Yao felt that it was urgent to arrest them and interrogate them.
Of course, both situations may be possible.
Tianshui City is experiencing a troubled period these days: project projects are not working well, food prices are skyrocketing, refugees are starting to make trouble, and Luodian in the north is frequently harassing the border... Also, King Yao in the deep palace may have just realized Qingyang's plan
deal with him.
Which of the above things did those ministers commit?
At night, another news came.
Bao Wei, the minister of the Ministry of War, was taken away by Tingwei and died of poisoning on the way to prison; Wu Xianlong, the minister of war, fled and his whereabouts are unknown.
These incidents caused an uproar in Yaoting. People everywhere were talking about what these high-ranking officials had committed.
Before King Yao had time to speak frankly, a piece of bad news came first:
A fire broke out in the kiln!
This season is dry and dry, so the fire is particularly fierce and out of control.
