The soldiers at the city gate were the commanders of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, which was in turn under the control of Zhao Bingzhong.
So now, if his goods are seized by the city gate soldiers, it must be related to Zhao Bingzhong.
This guy suddenly got angry, and Pei Tianlin was a little confused!
And Pei Tianlin was even more unsure of Zhao Bingzhong's purpose for doing this. Did he do it suddenly, or was he instigated by someone behind the scenes?
Pei Tianlin couldn't understand.
And if there is someone behind it, who is it?
After a while, Pei Tianlin was seen looking startled.
"Could it be, Your Majesty?"
I thought so in my heart.
Pei Tianlin raised his head and stared at the figure on the dragon chair.
Emperor Wu seemed to feel something. He suddenly stopped while he was lecturing and looked at Pei Tianlin.
"My lord, it seems you have something to say?"
He suddenly asked.
Pei Tianlin frowned for a few times, and finally cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am just unwell, that's why I lost my composure."
"I have nothing to say, so I apologize for being rude."
"The abbot is not feeling well and should rest early. I have authorized the abbot not to wait until the end of the court meeting before leaving today. Someone can come and take the abbot back to his home for me."
Emperor Wu immediately waved his hands and said.
Pei Tianlin had no intention of standing in the court, but after hearing this, he was naturally eager to do so.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, cough!"
After pretending to cough a few times, Pei Tianlin quickly left the hall under the protection of several guards.
Emperor Wu, on the other hand, just looked at his back and showed a sly smile.
Back at the mansion, Pei Tianlin planned to go to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division in person to ask about the matter clearly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stood still on my front foot, I heard someone coming to report on my back foot.
"Reporting to your lord, Zhao Bingzhong, the leader of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, wants to see you!"
"Huh? He actually came here on his own initiative?"
Pei Tianlin was a little surprised.
I was about to go to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to question him, but I didn't expect that Zhao Bingzhong would move very quickly.
"Let him in."
Pei Tianlin said calmly.
Not long after, Zhao Bingzhong was seen entering the mansion.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Bingzhong bent his right leg and knelt down on one knee!
"Your Majesty Zhao Bingzhong, come here to plead guilty!"
That look, not to mention how humble he was.
Pei Tianlin was still angry.
"General Zhao, you are so majestic. I didn't expect that just a few days after I became the commander of the Five Cities Army, my goods were confiscated."
"Oh, that's right. General Zhao now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Things are different from what he used to be. Why should he care about a bad old man like me?"
There was a burst of strange energy, and Pei Tianlin got angry first.
Zhao Bingzhong's eyes were slightly cold, but he hid them very well.
After a while, his head lowered even lower!
"Reporting to the father-in-law, this is all a misunderstanding. I really did not expect such a thing to happen!"
"Misunderstanding? General Zhao, do you want to explain to me?"
Pei Tianlin sneered.
Zhao Bingzhong nodded.
"Yes, sir, this matter is really the arrogance of Chengmen Lieutenant!"
"These guys are used to accepting bribes. Last night I saw someone out of the city, and it was from your mansion. So I became malicious and wanted to extort a good sum of money."
"Unexpectedly, they were not satisfied after taking a piece of silver! They actually arrested the person! They intended to seize the entire truck and resell it!"
His tone was extremely sincere.
Zhao Bingzhong's explanation sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.
"I just heard about this thing this morning, and I was shocked at the time!"
"Therefore, early in the morning, I immediately directly questioned those city gate soldiers! As for those who were arrested, they were all released!"
"But I am really frightened in my heart, so I can only feel at ease if I come to apologize in person!"
In short, there is nothing wrong with it.
Especially this attitude is even more humble!
When Pei Tianlin heard this, he just looked at Zhao Bingzhong, as if he was thinking about something and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhao Bingzhong continued: "Master Zhang, I have just taken over as the leader of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and I don't know much about the underlying matters."
"I have failed to discipline you properly and I should be punished! Please punish me, the abbot!"
Zhao Bingzhong raised his hands and begged.
But Pei Tianlin still didn't speak.
Although Zhao Bingzhong said there was nothing wrong, Pei Tianlin still had his own doubts in his heart.
He suspected that all this was the emperor's instigation. The emperor ordered Zhao Bingzhong to deliberately embarrass him!
In this case, why not test Emperor Wu's face?
Thinking of this, Pei Tian's plan came to his mind.
"General Zhao, if you are really sincere, why not go to His Majesty to apologize?"
"Where is Your Majesty?"
Zhao Bingzhong was stunned.
Pei Tianlin's expression became even colder.
"Why, does General Zhao think it's inappropriate?"
"You are the leader agreed by His Majesty. If you make a mistake, you should make it clear in front of His Majesty. This is a reasonable thing."
"But."
Zhao Bingzhong hesitated and said: "But after all, this cargo is related to you, the abbot of the country. I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? What if."
"My goods are all clean and they are to be transported back to my hometown. What is there to be ashamed of?"
"General Zhao, why don't you come with me to the palace to meet the saint now?"
Pei Tianlin had already stood up.
Although Zhao Bingzhong looked very unhappy, seeing Pei Tianlin's attitude, he naturally said nothing more.
After a moment, he bowed and said: "Yes, I am willing to go to His Majesty to plead guilty!"
"Humph! This is the best!"
Pei Tianlin sneered.
Not long after, he took Zhao Bingzhong to the palace.
At this time, shortly after the court meeting ended, Emperor Wu returned to his palace.
The next second, I heard the eunuch walking in quickly.
"Your Majesty, the abbot and General Zhao request an audience with the Holy Majesty."
"The two of them?"
Emperor Wu was slightly startled.
Unfortunately, he just thought about what happened when Chen Mohan came into the palace to report to him last night.
Emperor Wu immediately understood and smiled.
"Then please come in quickly."
"yes."
The little eunuch immediately took the order.
Soon, Pei Tianlin and Zhao Bingzhong entered the palace together.
They both salute at the same time!
"Pei Tianlin, the father-in-law of my country!"
"The leader of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities is also the commander of the Imperial Army, Zhao Bingzhong!"
"Meet the Emperor!"
Emperor Wu has already stood up.
"No gifts! Please get up quickly, both of you!"
"Master Zhang, weren't you feeling unwell during the previous court meeting? Why did you come here suddenly?"
After finishing speaking, Pei Tianlin did not answer directly, but looked coldly at Zhao Bingzhong next to him.
Zhao Bingzhong immediately bent down, looking humble.
"Reporting to your majesty, all this is my fault, and it is my anger that has reached the head of the country!"
"I have committed a crime! Your Majesty, please punish me for serious crimes!"
"The following will be punished?"
Emperor Wu looked confused.
"General Zhao, why did you say this? What happened?"
After hearing this, Zhao Bingzhong explained the accident that happened last night in detail.
At this time, Pei Tianlin's eyes were always staring at Emperor Wu!
He was carefully observing the changes in Wu Emperor's expression! This chapter has been completed!
