Family Has a Concubine

It had just passed the fifteenth day of the Zhengyue month, and before the government opened the seal, the grievance drum in front of the yamen was beating loudly.

I saw a group of people kneeling in front of the yamen crying and screaming——

"The human traffickers who made trouble in July last year have been delayed for the New Year, and they still can't be caught!"

"Yesterday, the Lantern Festival dealer came out again, and my child disappeared!"

"My second dog is also missing."

"The government will open the seal soon! If you don't check now, when will you wait!"

The people cried and cursed loudly.

When Cheng Fu Yin learned that the common people were making trouble outside, his expression changed, he hurriedly reported to the palace, and also sent a message to Shangguan Xiu.

But after the memorial was sent to the palace, there was no news until the next morning.

The people were annoyed and anxious, shouting: "If you don't catch the traffickers, run away!"

"What kind of parental officer, what kind of head of the country, don't do anything! Let Zhenxi Wang arrest!"

"Let King Zhenxi go!"

The common people only know that Yingcheng is about to fall, and it was King Zhenxi who took back Yingcheng and Daqi Jiangshan.

The bandits threatened the common people. Da Qi arrested them for several years, but they still haven't wiped them out. Even the former commander of the Jingwei Battalion did not withdraw them. In the end, it was the king of Zhenxi who wiped out the bandits.

Last year, the locust plague in the south was also the king of Zhenxi!

That is their patron saint!

In July last year, more than 30 children were missing, and the governor failed to track them down. He thought he would send the King of Zhenxi, but he sent the head of the state, Shangguan Xiu.

They also knew that the king of Zhenxi should not be allowed to deal with all the big and small things. The head of the country, Shangguan Xiu, was the commander of the Imperial Guard after all, which is not bad!

In the end, after half a year of investigation, there was not even a fart!

Now, the dealer is at it again!

During the Lantern Festival, more than 20 people disappeared in one night.

Yesterday the drumming alarmed the government, but until this morning, neither the governor nor the head of state Shangguanxiu had heard anything from him.

The people really can't wait, after all, the traffickers got away last time, if they don't respond in time this time, they will run away again.

Seeing that Fu Yin and Shangguan Xiu were not working, the common people simply knelt in front of the gate of Zhenxi Prince's Mansion, crying and screaming there.

Ye Tangcai had already heard the news, and hurried into the room, only to see that Chu Yunpan had changed into an official robe, and came to hug Ye Tangcai: "I'm going to the palace now, you stay at home and take good care of the child."

"Yes." Ye Tangcai nodded.

Chu Yunpan had already strayed out, Ye Tangcai sighed slightly, wondering if the group of human traffickers in front of him were the ones from last time, but no matter what, they must not be allowed to escape this time.

Chu Yunpan went out the door, and when the people who asked for help saw Chu Yunpan, they cried and fell to their knees: "My lord, please save our child..."

Chu Yunpan glanced at them and felt extremely uncomfortable. As a father, I can hardly imagine the pain of losing a child.

Chu Yunpan passed by without saying a word, finally got on the official sedan chair parked in front of the door, and hurried to the palace.

When they came to the entrance of the imperial study room, they saw Lu Zhi and Liao Shoufu also coming. They all stood at the door, and when they saw him, they raised their heads to say hello: "The lord is here."

"Yes." Chu Yunpan nodded.

The imperial study room has not yet been announced, which proves that the emperor has not arrived yet.

Everyone frowned deeply, and then, the courtiers arrived one after another.

As soon as Mr. Zhou, ministers of various ministries, Yin Cheng and Shangguan Xiu arrived, everyone looked at them in unison.

The two lowered their heads, looking ashamed.

Finally, King Lu, King Rong, and King Kang who returned to Beijing for the New Year all came. Some officials originally felt that the battle was too great, after all, the emperor did not announce the opening of the seal.

But when they heard that Chu Yunpan, Shoufu and Shangshu entered the palace one by one, the other courtiers were afraid that they would not come, so they seemed not to love the people like children, so they hurried into the palace.

In an instant, there was a dense crowd standing in front of the imperial study room, and all the officials who could go to court had arrived.

After a while, a little eunuch ran out outside: "Your Majesty's invitation."

Only then did the courtiers stand in two rows as before, and slowly walked into the study.

Looking up, I saw the emperor sitting behind the big sandalwood carved dragon book table, wearing a dark purple casual clothes, leaning on the back of the chair, watching them standing densely below, raised his sword eyebrows: "They are all here!" ?”

Lu Zhi's old face sank slightly, his chest heaved up and down, what kind of casual tone is this?

King Liang glanced at Shangguan Xiu and Cheng Fuyin below: "I already know about it. The human trafficker has appeared again. If that's the case, let's do our best to catch it."

The faces of the courtiers froze.

Lu Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, and came out: "Your Majesty, in July last year, human traffickers appeared, Cheng Fu Yin and Cheng Engong pursued them for half a year but found nothing. How can this kind of handling ability convince the common people?"

Cheng Fu Yin's face was pale, and he knelt down with a thud: "I am incompetent..."

Shangguan Xiu also knelt down, blushing with shame: "The guilty minister has tried his best, but...every time there is a clue, it will be cut off. This time the traffickers are different. The minister...has little ability, and he is ashamed of the emperor. "

"Your Majesty, I am willing to investigate this case." Chu Yunpan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, let King Zhenxi go! The bandits were so cunning last year that King Zhenxi wiped them out in one fell swoop. How can the traffickers be stronger than the bandits this time?" Mr. Zhou said.

"Second minister!" Liao Shoufu, Lu Zhi and others all seconded the proposal.

Now that the court does not act, it is afraid that the people will be disappointed with the court.

The Liang Wang at the top tapped the table with his slender fingers, glanced at Chu Yunpan at the bottom, raised his long eyelashes, and said calmly: "In this case, I will send... King Lu to lead a thousand imperial guards and two thousand Beijing guards." The guards are investigating."

King Lu? !

Chu Yunpan, Mr. Zhou and other courtiers were all shocked and looked up in disbelief.

"Emperor? Minister?" King Lu came out with a look of horror.

"Your Majesty, I think the most suitable candidate is King Zhenxi!" Lu Zhi's face darkened slightly.

"I also think that King Zhenxi is the best candidate." Mr. Zhou said.

Liang Wang's cold face sank: "Shut up! I will send whoever I say to send, and you still have to question? Lu Wang is careful, and he must be able to thoroughly investigate this case." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Chu Yunpan, "After a while, King Zhenxi will go to Yingcheng. Could it be that if there are any other cases in Beijing, he has to go to Yingcheng to recall King Zhenxi for investigation? King Zhenxi has a more difficult task waiting for him ——Defend Yingcheng!"

Liao Shoufu and Lu Zhi were speechless for a moment. After all, what the emperor said made sense.

Mr. Zhou frowned deeply: "Your Majesty is right, indeed you can't explain everything to King Zhenxi. It's just...His Royal Highness King Lu rarely participated in such cases before. And King Zhenxi will leave Beijing soon to guard Commander Fang and Deputy Commander He are responsible for the capital. He Pei has served as the Deputy Commander of the Jingwei Battalion for nearly a year. He escorted the Emperor back to Beijing before he ascended the throne. On the way, the Emperor also saw Vice Commander He's talent. I feel that , it is more appropriate to hand this case over to Vice Commander He."

"Teacher Zhou is right." Lu Zhi and others also thought it was good.

Liang Wangjun's face sank: "He Pei doesn't take this position! I think King Lu is more suitable, so let's do it! Let's go!"

Mr. Zhou and others looked at each other in blank dismay, but the emperor said that he would hand it over to King Lu. Although it was not as appropriate as He Pei, but he hadn't tried it, how would he know if he could do it.

But no matter what, Lu Zhi and the others were full of anger.

I just feel that the emperor is too self-righteous, and if he obviously handed it over to Chu Yunpan, he might be able to catch the traffickers in a blink of an eye! You can also take the opportunity to let Chu Yunpan take He Pei to hunt together. In this way, you can catch people quickly and let He Pei learn something, killing two birds with one stone.

However, the emperor actually ignored the excellent King Zhenxi and used the mediocre King Lu instead! what is this?

Some courtiers even felt that the emperor was starting to fear King Zhenxi!

After all, the imperial court did not do enough to hunt him down, and the people did not kneel down to him as the emperor, but to the Zhenxi Palace.

The master of meritorious service, the emperor wants to suppress King Zhenxi!

The courtiers dispersed one by one, Chu Yun climbed out of the imperial study, feeling depressed, and when the courtiers dispersed, he turned back again, the little eunuch was shocked when he saw him: "My lord!"

"Tong Chuan." Chu Yunpan said calmly.

The little eunuch had no choice but to pass on the message, after a while, Ji Hai rushed out and said with a smile: "Hey, the prince hasn't left yet, please please."

Chu Yunpan turned around and followed Ji Hai into the imperial study: "Your Majesty."

King Liang looked at him: "Chu San, do you think I won't use you?"

"No." Chu Yunpan said: "The emperor is right. I will go to Yingcheng soon, so I can't be by the emperor's side all the time. However, I think He Pei is more suitable."

Liang Wang said indifferently: "He Pei's duty is to defend the capital, he goes out to hunt down thieves casually, who is always on standby?"

Chu Yunpan said: "The emperor is right. But no one can guarantee that in the future, he will not need to be ordered to go out to chase the enemy. Besides, if there are really rebellious officials and thieves who attack the capital, He Pei must have the way to chase and investigate." Only then can we better defend the capital."

Liang Wang's eyes turned cold: "He is already very good, he doesn't need to be tempered! He also has this ability!"

Chu Yunpan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since this is the case, the emperor believes in his ability, why not let him go out now? Only in this way can we catch all the culprits faster!"
