Zhao Jin could almost imagine how disgusted the Minister of War was when he heard the news.
However, this is obviously not something he needs to worry about now.
"When you investigate the case, you can directly mobilize the imperial army if necessary." Zhao Qian's expression was extremely cold.
Zhao Jin clasped his hands and said seriously: "Yes, I understand."
After that, Zhao Qian gave some instructions to the two people and praised them before letting Zhao Jin and Chen Xiao go back.
As soon as Zhao and Jin left, the entire imperial study became silent.
"Here comes someone." Zhao Qian knocked on the dragon case.
The leader of the secret guards raised by Zhao Qian appeared from the darkness, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty."
The other party's voice was very hoarse, and his throat was obviously manipulated.
"Go and find out what happened between the prince and Zhao Jin."
Although there was nothing unusual in the prince's expression just now, what Lao Qi said was not unreasonable.
In these days, the two of them had indeed become very close suddenly, and Zhao Jin had indeed encountered a dead soldier.
Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, if the prince was involved in this matter...
His breathing suddenly stopped, and the hand on the dragon table twitched. So, what did the prince want to do?
Where did all that private salt go?
Zhao Xingyu was left in the place where he lived before in the palace. There were forbidden troops guarding the outside, closely watching his every move.
I'm afraid that in the dark, my father's secret guards are still watching.
Don't tell anyone. If he does something strange, his father will know immediately.
Zhao Xingyu sat next to the table, took a sip of tea, and managed to calm down.
It is impossible to send the message out. I just hope that he is trapped here and they will not mess up their position.
Unfortunately, most of his eyes and ears are on the bright side, only the dead man and Qi Shaoqing are unknown to others.
Father has already doubted the existence of the dead soldiers and cannot use them again easily.
Zhao Xingyu looked unkind and placed the tea cup on the table with a bang. Now, he only had Qi Shaoqing available.
I just hope that he can be smarter and be able to solve these things and dispel his father's doubts.
On the other side, after Zhao Jin came out of the royal study, he walked with Chen Xiao on the official road, turned his head and whispered: "Where are you going now?"
"I want to go back to the military camp first." Chen Xiao's face was still cold, with a bit of sternness, but it was not like the thorny way he spoke when they first met.
Zhao Jin nodded, "Then I'll go to the Criminal Department first. The only breakthrough now is Wang Xikang."
"Um."
Chen Xiao raised his feet and was about to part ways with Zhao Jin when he suddenly remembered something.
"Duke Xuanping."
Zhao Jin paused and looked over, "What's wrong?"
"Do you think the prince is related to this matter?" Chen Xiao's voice was very low. They were the only two people on the palace road now.
Zhao Jin looked at Chen Xiao's expression and said, "I have a guess. After all, the dead man we met is indeed the prince's man."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao said nothing and frowned.
Seeing this, Zhao Jin smiled and said, "As long as Wang Xikang's mouth is opened, won't we know the truth?"
"Yes." Chen Xiao glanced at Zhao Jin, crossed his arms and left.
Zhao Jin stood there for a while, recalling whether Chen Xiao had any contact with the prince.
After getting no results, he shook his head and went back to ask Seng Fan to check.
When Zhao Jin came to the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was reading the files of privately produced salts, and his brows were furrowed into the character "Chuan".
"Lord Shangshu."
The Minister of Punishment heard the voice and looked up, "Duke Xuanping."
He stood up directly from the chair, walked quickly towards Zhao Jin, and asked with a bit of urgency, "Is there any news about Minister Zuo?"
Zhao Jin sighed lightly, "I paid special attention to it when I was in Guanlong County, but I didn't."
No……
The Minister of Punishment looked back with some disappointment, "There is no news, but maybe it is good news."
Zuo Shilang had no strength to restrain a chicken. If he wanted to escape from those people, he would still be in danger.
"No need to worry, Lord Shangshu," Zhao Jin comforted him, "I have sent people to continue looking there."
"Thank you so much, Duke Xuanping." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice bowed his hand to Zhao Jin and managed to cheer up.
"I don't know who is in charge of this case now?"
Zhao Jin raised his eyes and said, "It's still me."
"Maybe the Minister of War will come to your door soon."
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice recalled the scene where the old man from the Ministry of War made a big fuss in the Ministry of Justice after Zhao Jin went to Guanlong County. He choked in his throat and didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for Zhao Jin to continue to be in charge of this case.
"How is Wang Xikang?" Zhao Jin rubbed his eyebrows and changed the subject.
"Locked in jail, someone has been watching me for twelve hours."
The Minister of Punishment turned sideways and stretched out his hand forward, "Duke Xuanping, please sit down. Let's discuss how to solve this case."
Zhao Jin nodded and sat down on the right side of the main seat, giving face to the Minister of Punishment.
Although the minister is of the first rank, in terms of honorific title, he is definitely not as high as the Duke of the country.
"I just took a look at the file. Is there anyone else behind the scenes besides the seventh prince?"
Obviously, the Minister of Punishment has learned about the news that the prince was transformed and related.
"Master Shangshu is really well-informed." Zhao Jin raised his eyes and glanced at the Minister of Punishment.
Less than half an hour after he arrived here from the palace, the Minister of Punishment actually received the news.
The Minister of Punishment waved his hand, "This matter has been spread throughout the palace."
This time Zhao Jin was really surprised, "How did the news from the palace spread so quickly?"
The Minister of Punishment laughed and said, "Of course, ordinary news does not spread so quickly, but the people imprisoned are the seventh prince and the prince."
"They are all nobles from Tianheng, so the palace people will inevitably be more curious."
Zhao Jin understood that just like in modern times, gossip about celebrities always spreads quickly and is more popular among people.
"It depends on who this dead soldier belongs to." Zhao Jin did not directly answer what the Minister of Punishment had just said.
The Minister of Punishment narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the Duke of Guo does not believe in this official."
Zhao Jin smiled but said nothing.
Seeing this, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment did not force himself and said instead: "Do you have any good ideas, Mr. Guo? Now we have to find out where the illegal salt has gone."
"Secondly, is this dead man a member of the Seventh Prince? If not, who else was involved in this matter."
The Minister of Punishment paused for a moment before adding, "We still need to prove whether His Highness the Crown Prince is guilty or not."
Zhao Jin glanced at the files on the desk and put one hand on the armrest and the other on the desk next to him. "These can only be pried out from Wang Xikang's mouth."
"He doesn't want to say it." The Minister of Punishment had little hope for this.
Most people like Wang Xikang are very tough-talking.
Furthermore, the opponent can choose Wang Xikang to do this.
