Chapter 21 Thorough investigation of the Inspectorate
() "Tsk!"
"Tsk!"
The sound of cloth being torn was heard one after another at the door of the Inspectorate.
The expressions on the faces of the guards who tore the clothes of the officials of the Inspectorate were extremely complicated.
During my many years as a police officer, I have done arrests and murders.
I have naturally done this to tear women's clothes off half the time.
However, it was his first time to rip off a man's clothes, or the clothes of an inspectorate official.
Although the Inspectorate usually behaves in a low-key manner, even a cook who cooks for the Inspectorate always shows off his power when he comes out.
The Supervisory Office supervises hundreds of officials, and they are the eyes and ears of the emperor. Which of these local officials dare to offend them on ordinary days?
Seeing them is like seeing the plague, and you want to hide as far away as possible.
If any petty official comes out, they will treat him as an ancestor.
Today, seeing these ancestors being stripped naked one by one, many officials behind Liu Xia secretly let out a sigh of disgust in their hearts.
Naturally, I also like Liu Xia a little more.
Liu Xia was sitting on an imperial chair, wearing a purple dragon robe, with no expression on his handsome face.
His thin figure and childish face seemed to tell others that he was just a child.
Especially sitting in front of a group of ministers in their thirties and forties, he was even more youthful.
However, everyone present did not dare to have any disrespectful thoughts in their hearts.
Just now, the officials of the Inspectorate were beaten with thunderous tactics and an iron-blooded demeanor.
How does that killing and decisive momentum look like that of a fifteen-year-old child?
"Sir Zhang, you just watch the prince fool around and make such a big mistake, how can you do your job?"
Wang Zhoushan stood among the guards who were tearing off their clothes. Although he was smiling, it was uglier than crying.
"Hey, you saw what happened just now. Can I stop it?"
Zhang Tianhu was worried. He was standing next to Wang Zhoushan with an expression on his face that was heavier than visiting a grave.
"What if the Holy One takes the blame?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will clear things up for you in front of the Holy Master. Although the time between me and the prince has not been long, I think he is not a reckless person, let alone a playboy. I think what he does must have deep meaning.
At this point, we can only stand with him. Otherwise, you and I cannot bear the crime of causing trouble in the Inspectorate!!"
Zhang Tianhu said this with profound meaning without saying anything.
"Ah? I understand, I understand! I understand, I understand."
Wang Zhoushan suddenly realized.
After all, he is a high-ranking official and has been in the officialdom for so many years. Naturally, he understands these truths clearly.
Now only if he really grasps the handle of the Inspectorate, can he be safe and sound.
Right now, we can only cooperate with Liu Xia, there is no other way out.
Besides, even if something goes wrong, Liu Xia is the prince and Zhang Tianhu is the imperial envoy.
If the sky falls, Liu Xia and Zhang Tianhu will still be there to hold it up, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
"Your Majesty! Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated! I am a dignified Inspector, and you are not someone you can humiliate if you want. I will definitely report it to the Holy Lord...!"
Fu Jianfei, who was pinned to the ground by seven or eight guards, yelled angrily.
Although he was injured, he was a master after all, so he would not die so easily.
"Tsk!"
Fu Jianfei's shirt was torn open, revealing his solid body.
Liu Xia glanced at him. His upper body was covered in scars. Although they were old wounds, they were all healed.
But those wounds were very dangerous, and the scars were also very ferocious, which shows that he also made great contributions to the Tianji Dynasty.
He is nothing short of a man.
"Come here, shut the mouths of everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Liu Xia said lightly, then looked up at the blue sky and saw the clouds rolling and relaxing, but he didn't seem to take this chaotic scene to heart.
Although there were more than 370 people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Liu Xia brought out more than 1,000 guards.
The momentum was suppressed by Liu Xia. Although these 370 people gritted their teeth and wished to eat Liu Xia alive, they did not dare to actually kill Liu Xia.
Now that he was pinned to the ground and tied up all over his body, he could only endure the bad breath.
No one of these officials from the Inspectorate has ever done such bullying. Now you have opened the eyes of the officials behind Liu Xia.
It's just that due to their status, they can't make mistakes, otherwise they would have to rush forward and take action themselves to vent the evil spirit in their hearts.
In a matter of moments, half of the officials of the Inspectorate had been stripped naked.
I have to admire the neatness of these guards in their work. He didn't even have a pair of underwear left after stripping someone.
At this time, Liu Xia, who had been sitting there quietly, suddenly stood up slowly.
Under the curious gazes of everyone, he slowly walked towards the white man lying there.
At this time, the deep-seated gossip hearts of many officials suddenly became active.
Everyone's eyes widened, wanting to move the maza, eat melon seeds, and gather around to watch.
When Liu Xia walked up to an official from the National Inspectorate, he lowered his head and saw a hidden tattoo on his ankle.
He walked past the official quietly.
My heart felt extremely heavy.
As expected, that mysterious organization has infiltrated into the Inspectorate. There are probably some officials behind it who are members of that mysterious organization.
Now, although Liu Xia couldn't believe it, even Zhang Tianhu didn't dare to believe it anymore.
Because, this organization wants his life!!
After walking around for a while, I found that among the more than 100 people who were stripped naked, there were more than ten people from the other organization. The more I looked at them, the more shocking I became.
Fortunately, except for those shocking scars, Fu Jianfei's body, which had been stripped naked, was clean.
At this moment, Liu Xia walked towards the Inspectorate.
This is the first time Liu Xia has entered this most mysterious institution of the Tianji Dynasty.
After entering the gate, there is a screen wall with the word "righteousness!" written on it by flying dragons and phoenixes.
Beyond the screen wall, the Inspectorate comes into view.
Rows of houses are arranged neatly, forming a large courtyard with more than ten entrances.
Liu Xia casually entered a room, which was clean and tidy, with piles of documents piled on the desk.
At this moment, Wang Zhoushan and Zhang Tianhu followed in. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Master Zhang, close the door."
Liu Xia turned his back to the two of them, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly.
Zhang Tianhu was also very anxious. After closing the door, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Excuse me, you two, please take off your clothes!"
"Well……."
At that moment, when the two people heard this sentence, they were stunned.
After serving as officials for so many years, even though the two of them were well-informed, they were a little stupid about such unreasonable demands.
"Plop"
Wang Zhoushan knelt down on the ground first.
"Your Majesty, I am a serious person."
"My lord, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Tianhu couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
"You two, the person who wants to assassinate the king is a mysterious organization. They all have tattoos on their bodies."
Liu Xia turned around and said loudly.
At that moment, Zhang Tianhu reacted first and started to take off his clothes without saying a word.
When Wang Zhoushan saw that all the imperial envoys had taken off their clothes, he followed suit.
In the blink of an eye, the two court officials were completely naked.
To Liu Xia's relief, there was no problem with either of them.
At that moment, the clenched fists were slowly loosened.
If one of them has a problem, Liu Xia will never let him out of this door.
"I offended you just now, and I want to apologize to you."
After saying this, Liu Xia cupped her fists and bowed her waist as an apology.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Wang Zhoushan and Zhang Tianhu smiled coquettishly while putting on their clothes.
"In the Inspectorate, this mysterious organization has people all over the place. I guess that among the northwest officials, there are probably quite a few people from this mysterious organization embedded in it. The current situation is a bit tricky for us."
Liu Xia was thoughtful, walked to the window, and whispered.
"Your Majesty is so calm, I guess he already has a corresponding solution. Just ask Your Majesty for your instructions."
Zhang Tianhu whispered immediately.
"Wei Chen is willing to do the work of dogs and horses."
When Wang Zhoushan heard this, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
After all, he was the chief envoy of the three northwest provinces and was in charge of the political affairs of the three northwest provinces. If such a big thing happened, he knew that if he did not follow Liu Xia, Long Yan would be angry. Losing his official position would be a small matter, but losing his life would be a big deal.
How dare you be vague?
"Master Wang, although Master Zhang and I are imperial envoys, Master Zhang travels lightly and does not lead many men. I need a trustworthy man now. I wonder if Master Wang has nothing to do?"
Liu Xia asked softly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Zhao Yong, the commander of the northwest capital, is very loyal, and he and his ministers are close friends. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this person."
Wang Zhoushan quickly replied in a low voice.
"Master Zhang, do we have the right to mobilize the commander-in-chief?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
In the Tianji Dynasty, in the local official system, the administrative envoys and the inspectorate envoys were the highest officials, but they did not hold military power.
The military power of the border army is in the hands of the capital commander.
The chief envoys, the administrative envoys, and the commanding envoys are collectively referred to as the three divisions, and they are the real officials of the frontier.
The Metropolitan Commander is affiliated to the Fifth Military Governor's Office and is an institution directly under the imperial court, just like the Inspectorate.
The difference is that the commander-in-chief controls local military power.
Although Liu Xia was an imperial envoy, he came to deal with the case of the Northwest Sect and was not granted military power.
That's why Liu Xia asked this question.
"Of course it is impossible to mobilize the army on a large scale, but if the prince only needs one or two thousand people to protect his safety, I believe General Zhao will still be happy to help."
Zhang Tianhu is a close companion of the emperor, so he naturally understands the sense of propriety here.
"Well, Mr. Wang, I'd like to trouble you to borrow two thousand soldiers and horses. I'll wait here."
"As ordered, Wei Chen will do it now."
At that moment, Wang Zhoushan opened the door and hurried out.
Liu Xia walked to the window and looked at the huge Inspectorate with a sneer on his lips.
"Aren't you going to kill me? Then I will kill you all!!"
