He looked in the direction and narrowed his eyes slightly, it was the direction of Honglu Temple.

Could it be that something happened to the Fusang envoys?

……

Imperial City, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhao Qi tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before falling asleep, but not long after he closed his eyes, Liu Tian's voice came from his ear:

"Your Majesty, this old slave has something to report!"

Zhao Qi was full of anger when he heard the words, he opened his eyes helplessly, and gave Liu Tian a hard look.

Seeing that he was angry, Liu Tian quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, how dare this old servant disturb His Majesty's rest, but this matter is too big, and this old servant has to report it!"

"Say!" Zhao Qi shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, just now Honglu Temple has been drained of water." Liu Tian said hastily.

Zhao Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, a place like Honglu Temple would be flooded?And it was not long after the arrival of the Fusang envoys.

Is this really a coincidence?

"Are there any casualties?" he asked again.

Liu Tian pondered for a moment before saying: "Return to Your Majesty, it is reported that Fusang envoy Tang Zexiong failed to escape when he was in the water."

what!

Zhao Qi was terrified.

Tang Zexiong was the envoy of Fusang, so he died like this?

How can this be?

"Let Ji Zhong investigate quickly! I want to know whether Tang Zexiong is alive or dead! Also, I want to know why Honglu Temple is flooded!" Zhao Qi ordered immediately.

Liu Tian took the order and left.

Zhao Qi got up and went down to the ground, his brows were tightly furrowed at this moment, and he was completely sleepless.

If Tang Zexiong died, there would be serious consequences.Not only will it affect the diplomatic relations between the imperial court and Fusang, but it will also lose the state.

Envoys from other countries actually died in the capital!

Isn't this slapping him in the face, slapping the faces of all Han people?

He anxiously waited on the spot, and after a while, Liu Tian came back, but what he brought was bad news:

Although the fire had been extinguished, several people from the Fusang envoys died, including Tang Zexiong.

Tang Zexiong is really dead!

This made Zhao Qi startled and angry: "Why did you go into the water!"

Liu Tian shook his head: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ji is conducting a thorough investigation, and there is no news yet."

Zhao Qi paced on the spot with a solemn expression, and after thinking for a while, he said to Liu Tian:

"Order the Ministry of Punishments, Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jin Yiwei to investigate this case thoroughly! Within three days, I want the truth!"

He knew very well that with Ji Zhong's ability, he might not be able to solve the case in a short time, so he asked the third division to investigate together.

Liu Tian's heart shuddered, and he quickly took the order and walked out. He understood how serious the matter was. Zhao Qike had never asked the third division and Jin Yiwei to investigate a case at the same time.

Watching Liu Tian leave again, Zhao Qi still didn't relax for some reason.

He had a premonition that even if the matter was jointly investigated by the third division and Jin Yiwei, it might still not get a good result.

If this is really man-made, I'm afraid he won't be caught easily.

After thinking about it for a while, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately summoned a servant and said, "Bring the emperor's servant, Jia Jue, into the palace!"

After waiting for a while, he saw a handsome and graceful figure walk into the room.

It was Jia Jue.

"Jia Jue, do you know about Honglu Temple?" Zhao Qi asked quickly when he saw him.

"Wei Chen heard about it." Jia Jue nodded.

"Do you think this is an accident?" Zhao Qi asked.

Jia Jue shook his head: "This matter is definitely not simple, I think it is not accidental."

Zhao Qi's eyes flashed brightly: "Jia Jue! There is a huge contribution in front of you right now, are you willing to take it?"

Jia Jue nodded immediately: "My minister is willing to take it!"

"Okay! The Third Division and the Jin Yiwei will investigate secretly, and you will make an unannounced visit. As long as you can find out the truth of this case, I will give you a great credit! At that time, I will not hesitate to reward you." Zhao Qi said to Jia Jue.

He had relatively high abilities and expectations for Jia Jue, so he planned to ask Jia Jue to investigate this case as well, maybe there would be surprises.

The corners of Jia Jue's mouth turned up slightly when he heard this, and he bowed and said:

"The minister obeys the order!"

Chapter 226

When Jia Jue came out of the imperial city, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

He also didn't expect that things would undergo such a huge change. Tang Zexiong, who was "talking and laughing happily" with him in the afternoon, died like this.

Who did it, and for what purpose?

Just as he was thinking about these questions, several figures stopped him.

The leader was a tall man.

Ji Zhong.

"Master Ji?" Jia Jue looked at him in surprise.

Ji Zhong stepped forward and pulled him aside, looking at him with complicated eyes:

"Ziyu, you and I have a good relationship. I just want to ask you, did you do that?"

Jia Jue couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words: "Master Ji, I have no grievances with that Tang Zexiong, how could I kill him?"

"Really? Didn't you have an affair with his subordinates today?" Ji Zhong asked.

Jia Jue laughed: "That's because his subordinates can't speak. After being taught a lesson, didn't he come to apologize? I chatted with Tang Zexiong for a while, and I also accepted his gift. This trivial matter has already been discussed."

Ji Zhong took a deep look at him, and sighed: "I believe you. I'm sorry, but this matter should not be taken care of. His Majesty gave the order to die."

Jia Jue shook his head: "It's okay, you're also business-like, just let it go."

"Hmph, he is so stern and selfless that even his own sister was almost sent to prison for interrogation." At this moment, a slightly familiar voice sounded.

Jia Jue followed the prestige, but saw that she was the girl who helped him before.

"Hey, where are you talking?" Ji Zhong smiled coyly and said to Jia Jue, "Ziyu, this is my sister."

"It turned out to be Miss Ji!" Jia Jue suddenly said, "Thank you Miss Ji for what happened before."

Ji Yun glanced at him and waved her hand: "How many times have you thanked me, there is no need to thank me any more."

Just as Ji Zhong was about to speak, a rider came to report: "My lord, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple have all arrived."

Ji Zhong nodded, and he said to Ji Yun: "Sister, send Ziyu back home, I have something to do."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his fists at Jia Jue, turned around and left with others.

With their departure, only Jia Jue and Ji Yun were left on the scene.

Ji Yun glanced at Jia Jue and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Jia Jue shook her head: "You don't have to bother the girl, and besides, I'm not going back home."

"Then where are you going?" Ji Yun asked.

"Go to Honglu Temple to have a look."

Ji Yun's eyes lit up: "Coincidentally, I want to go too, I must find out this bastard who caused this girl to suffer injustice!"

Jia Jue smiled when he heard the words: "Okay, then we will go together."

Ji Yun was about to gallop out on horseback, but seeing that Jia Jue was walking, she couldn't help frowning.

"Your Majesty called me just now, so I came in a carriage in the palace. At this moment, I can only walk. You might as well go ahead." Jia Jue said.

"When you go, I'm afraid it will be dawn." Ji Yun thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Come on, you and I will ride together."

Jia Jue was taken aback: "I'm afraid this is not good?"

"What's the big man, mother-in-law and mother! I don't care, what do you care about!" Ji Yun said, but grabbed Jia Jue's hand and pulled him onto the horse.

But as soon as he got on the horse, Jia Jue frowned.

Because, he actually sat in front.

This posture is equivalent to him sitting in Ji Yun's arms.

Ji Yun also felt something was wrong, but she was the one who said the words, and she was the one who pulled Jia Jue up.

"Sit down!" She said aloud, pinched the horse's belly, but started to move forward.

However, as soon as the horse started to run, both of them gasped.

The bumps, squeezes, and friction made both of them overwhelmed.

"You, you sit in the back!" Ji Yun quickly reined in the horse and said to Jia Jue.She, who has always been bold, blushed for the first time, and her breath was a little heavy.

Jia Jue nodded, dismounted, and sat behind her again.

In this way, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were still a little embarrassed, they were much better than before.

The two walked together for a while, and Ji Yun suddenly asked:

"Are you carrying a firecracker?"

The firearm is the predecessor of firearms, of course, its power is much worse than that of firearms.

Jia Jue coughed lightly: "How do you know?"

"I said why do I feel panicked." Ji Yun replied.
