"Cao Liulang, how much does the police department know about the case of Ding Shiyou's family?"
"Thirteenth Master, this is Yu Hou and Xia Xinsheng of the Criminal Police Detachment of the National Police Department. He was the former police chief of Kaifeng Prefecture and a master of solving crimes. He has solved half of the cases solved in Kaifeng Prefecture in the past few years. Now Ding Shiyou's family
He will personally lead a team to investigate the case. Lao Xia, tell the king the details of the case."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xia Xinsheng bowed respectfully, and then began to speak cautiously.
"Your Majesty, please sit in the hall. Ding Shiyou's family was strangled to death, eight members of his family. Two old people, Ding Shiyou and his wife, and four children. The eldest son is thirteen years old, a half-year-old boy. If you want to avoid disturbing the neighbors,
If we want to do it quickly, there must be two conditions."
"First of all, the murderer is an acquaintance, so that he can easily enter the Ding family's yard. Secondly, there must be many people, because only if they attack at the same time, they will not make a big noise. According to the inspection conducted by Wu Zuo, Ding Shiyou is alone and strong.
It took three to four people to strangle him to death."
"Ding Shiyou's father is also an old Forbidden Army officer. Although he has retired and retired, he has a strong body and bones. At least two people are needed. Ding Shiyou's eldest son is a thirteen-year-old boy, and he is very powerful. At least he must be sent.
Two people have to deal with it."
"There are already seven people here. There are also Ding Shiyou's mother, Ding's wife, and the other three children. There are almost twelve people. It is impossible for so many people to enter the Ding family yard without being noticed."
"During the visit, we found that some neighbors said that after Ding Shiyou came home drunk, he beat his mother-in-law again and made a big quarrel. Several colleagues came in and persuaded Ding Shiyou, and there was no more quarrel."
"Because Ding Shiyou is very popular and knows everyone in the army and command. People often come to see him, and some people come to him for a drink in the middle of the night. So the neighbors take it for granted and don't take it to heart."
Neither Zhao Si nor Cao Duo made a sound, quietly listening to Xia Xinsheng's story.
"The young leader asked about the patrol team patrolling near Ding's house. Halfway through the first watch, a patrol team encountered several Forbidden Army officers. Your Majesty, sir, the patrol team's old foundation is the Tokyo Xiang Army, Pujun
, we have a lot of interactions with the Forbidden Army. One of the deputy police chiefs knows an officer there."
"We followed the clues and found out that in the middle of the first watch, about ten Forbidden Army officers were in four groups in the alley near Ding's house."
Having said this, Xia Xinsheng stopped.
Zhao Si understood the meaning of his words and turned to the eldest grandson Moli and said: "Xuanming, as my colleague, the Privy Council envoy and the prefect of the palace, Yuhou, issue a military order. Then inform the Zuo Yiwei gendarmerie.
, ask them to hold orders and cooperate with the Xia detachment in investigating the case. Whoever is involved will be summoned immediately by those below the Marquis of Yu. Those above will be under surveillance first and notify me immediately."
"yes!"
Xia Xinsheng bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for your great support."
Zhao Si stepped forward and held up Xia Xinsheng's hand, "Xia Erlang, I have made a promise in front of hundreds of Forbidden Army officers, officials, and all the ministers and commanders of the three yamen that I will help find out Ding Shiyou's identity."
The case is about avenging his family's injustice. So, I leave it all to you."
Xia Xinsheng quickly replied: "The young man will not dare to disappoint the king."
After Cao Duo left with the people, Zhao Si was silent for a while, then turned to Changsun Moli and said: "Xuan Ming, do you think the people behind this are just those people?"
"Thirteenth Prince, even if it's not just those people, we must hold back and hibernate our ambitions. In more than a month, the virtuous concubine Liu Lady will give birth. Everyone says that this time Lady Liu will give birth to a prince."
Zhao Si glanced at Changsun Moli and saw the worry on his face that could not be concealed.
Yes, once the emperor's brother has a prince, he will be the most logical successor to the throne. The emperor's mentality will also change. Brotherhood, no matter how much trust he has, will disappear in the face of ensuring that his son succeeds to the throne smoothly.
So Changsun Moli felt a little disappointed. Isn't this some kind of idea in the minds of other people in his team?
Zhao Xi could imagine that with the birth of the prince more than a month later, the hearts of his team and allies would be in turmoil.
However, no one but himself could have expected that this prince only lived for just over a month.
Maybe, this is a good opportunity to swim in the sand.
"Xuanming, I asked you to write a memorial. Have you finished it?"
"It's done! I also asked two talented secretaries from the secretarial department to polish it. It's good."
"As long as you can handle it."
After moving to Chui Gong Hall, the official listened to Zhao Si's report quietly and said thoughtfully: "Thirteenth Brother, so, all the clues point to those people?"
"Yes, Brother Huang, it should be right. Now we just wait to get the evidence."
"Well, Thirteenth Brother, who do you think they...were instructed by?" the official asked.
Zhao Si thought for a while and slowly shook his head: "Brother Emperor, in my opinion, these people should not have been ordered by anyone. Civil officials, now Zhang Xiang is in the same faction, Vice Prime Minister Lu and Zeng Shu are in the same faction, everyone has fought.
Cross-eyed. Plus Fan Cigong is by his side, neither faction dares to be careless."
The official smiled, but his smile was meaningful.
"Civil officials have no time to meddle in other people's business. Brother Thirteen came up with a good idea. Now I am in the middle to mediate, and both sides rely on my support. They are more obedient than before. Especially Zhang Xianggong, who I wanted to pardon before, he said that according to the national law
If you deserve to be killed, you should be killed anyway. Many stubborn people now know how to follow my wishes."
"Your Majesty Brother is right. When clams and cranes fight, fishermen gain. Civil officials don't have the energy to talk about these things. The clan...Brother Emperor, since the great clan has warned the Ancestral Temple and relegated the Fourteenth Brother to the Duke of Qi,
Those guys have been careful to restrain themselves a lot."
"Brother Fourteen, he is just a gun and was instigated by others."
Speaking of Zhao Si, the official's eyes shone with a cold light.
"You actually dared to insult...the concubine in the street. You handled it well! For such a rebellious act, let Da Zongzheng punish him according to the law! It's justified. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to control your temper and beat him up in the street. In that case, you
On the contrary, it is unreasonable. The Tian family needs a face."
"Yes, brother. In that case, those people who carried out the murderous murder of Ding Shiyou's family and incited the officers to cause trouble were simply doing this because they felt that their official positions and authority were threatened."
Having said this, Zhao Si paused and pointed out a key point, "Brother, these warriors are full of loopholes in their schemes. If there is someone behind it, I believe it won't be so rough."
After hearing this, the officials burst out laughing.
"Brother Thirteen is right."
"Brother Thirteen has done a great job in reorganizing the Imperial Guards in the capital. It is not only effective, but also stable and orderly. If all the officials in the government and the central government acted like Brother Thirteen, they would have had a banquet all over the world."
Stable and orderly. As the delivery date of Consort Liu is getting closer and closer, the emperor's brother's mentality is also changing unconsciously.
The official took out a few copies from a pile of memorials and handed them to Zhao Si.
"Zong Ze and Guo Yong discovered a lot of illegal things on Yanbian Wu Road, including corruption of meritorious service, denigration of rewards and salary. There were more than a dozen impeachment memorials. Along Yanbian Wu Road, plus Yongxing Military Road,
The yamen of Shaanxi Sixth Road were impeached by two people."
"The self-examination memorials of the Sixth Road Yamen, as well as the memorials of the impeachment of the clan, the slander and frame-up by Guo and others, and the disturbance of border affairs, flew into the capital like snowflakes. During this period, on the official road in the west, all the delivery boys were sent
It’s these things!”
Zhao Si listened quietly and quietly observed the expression on the official's face.
The officials were shocked, angry, and somewhat worried about the news.
The situation on Shaanxi Sixth Road is terrible!
The civil servants and scribes worked hard to oppress the border troops. Most of the merit should be shared, and all the fault should be blamed. Most of the rewards for the greedy were not mentioned, and part of the normal salary and military rations were deducted.
No wonder the imperial court has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest over the past few years and spent tens of millions, but has won less and lost more.
Looking at the official's appearance, Zhao Si thought silently in his heart, Brother Six, please take it easy for now.
Old man Zong is not someone who takes things for granted. These are just appetizers, and a big meal will be served soon. It will be a big thunder. Once it explodes, the entire Shaanxi Sixth Road will shake.
Zhao Si grinned and said, "Brother Emperor, I saw these things in the Privy Council. I was just busy with the aftermath of Jingshan Town and the rewards from the Xiaoqi Camp, so I didn't care about it. It's okay, I have a husband in charge of Weizhou.
I believe there will be no chaos along the five roads along the border."
The official was stunned for a moment and quickly came to his senses.
Yes, with Zhang Qi here, it can indeed be controlled.
"Brother Emperor, I have a memorial here."
"Do you have a memorial?" The official took it and asked casually, "What is it for?"
"I respectfully invite the officials to appoint the virtuous concubine Liu as the queen."
The whole Guan family stood there, and after a while he asked: "Brother Thirteen, why are you doing this?"
"Brother Emperor, I know that you want to wait until Mrs. Liu gives birth before registering her. But in that case, the mother is more valuable than the son."
The official immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Si's words.
The value of mother to son and the value of son to mother are not the same concept at all.
"Brother Thirteen, you are really thoughtful." The official said gratefully after reading the memorial. This chapter has been completed!
