Funing Hall

The four cheating students had just finished a round of fighting, and the people who watched the fun in front of the Kaifeng Government Yamen hadn't all dispersed yet, and another big incident broke out in the city.

And this happened in Zhao Shiqi's house, which is in front of Zhao's mansion today.

On the second day after beating the students who cheated, at dawn, small vendors were carrying poles and driving bullock carts back and forth. At the gate of the Zhao Mansion, the day officially started with a loud cry.

The Zhao Mansion is close to the Royal Street, close to the Imperial Palace, and the seat couldn't be better, since it is a place with a lot of people.

Zhao Shiqi is His Majesty's nephew, the next emperor, and an existence that countless people want to cling to.Just in front of his house, crying like this immediately attracted enough people to watch.

Almost at the same time, the concierge and servants of the Zhao Mansion heard the sound and wanted to drive him away.

But the old man was pawing at the stone slab on the ground, and slammed his forehead on the ground, leaving a bloodstain. He didn't get up, but just cried and begged, "Lord Eleven, let me live."

The concierge was out of breath, but more and more people came around. He was afraid of hurting his lord's face, so he didn't dare to be rough, and tried to be calm, and shouted: "What kind of rumors are you making up, old man?! It's early in the morning. , it will be Ruiqing Festival in a few days, how can you be messed up in the city of Tokyo?!"

This sentence awakened the audience around, that's right, His Majesty's Ruiqing Festival is just around the corner, this is His Majesty's nephew, what excitement can there be?Don't look at what happened and angered His Majesty, they have no good fruit to eat.

Seeing that the crowd was about to disperse, the old man kowtowed several times, and there were more and more bloodstains on the ground.

The concierge was so angry that he asked people to go up and drag them. Seeing the old man kowtowed like this, as if they were dying, they felt pitiful and sympathized with him.Just at this moment, a sharp voice sounded from inside the door: "Who dares to act wild in front of the Zhao residence?!"

The concierge looked back and heaved a sigh of relief: "Miss Yan Mo!"

Yan Mo walked out the door, saw the situation outside, raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes that were already flying were even more agile, she said directly with a half-smile, "The Zhao Mansion is a house that His Majesty personally rewarded, and our lord belongs to the Wei County Prince's Mansion." Mr. Lang is His Majesty's nephew. No matter what it is, as long as it is related to the Zhao Mansion and our Mr. Lang, it is not an ordinary matter! There is the Zongzheng Temple for big things, the Prince Wei's Mansion for small things, and the very important things. Your Majesty! I don't know where the old man in front of me is looking at face, and he wants to ask our lord to explain? I don't know who this old man is, and there is something related to our lord? Our lord But the permanent residence of Funing Hall in the palace!"

What Yan Mo said couldn't be easier to understand. When the onlookers heard it, they bowed their heads and dared not say more.

"Since there is nothing wrong, let's leave!" Seeing this, Yan Mo was very satisfied, and wanted to send everyone away.

The concierge admired him very much, and thought, Miss Yanmo is Miss Yanmo after all.

Yan Mo didn't take these people seriously, if they weren't too noisy in front of the door, she wouldn't come out in person.His Majesty's birthday is approaching, and she doesn't want any trouble at home.

After saying this, Yan Mo turned around and wanted to go back.

But the old man suddenly yelled in a mournful voice: "Mr. Eleven doesn't want me to live, so I'll just die in front of his house!"

Is this a threat to them?

Yan Mo sneered, turned around and wanted to scold again, but the old man who was trembling as if he was seriously ill just stood up suddenly, before everyone could react, he slammed into the stone lion in front of the door with all his strength, hitting The lion and himself were covered in blood, and the old man's stiff body immediately fell to the ground, bleeding from the wound on his head.Seeing that it was only a blink of an eye, he had lost his breath.

It was too sudden and fast, and everyone was shocked. Yan Mo was the first to react, and loudly said: "Deal with him!"

The concierge hurriedly came back to his senses, took the man and went up.

Seeing them move, the surrounding audience woke up one after another. At first they really didn't think there was anything wrong, but the old man really hit his head to death!It can be seen that there is really a grievance!Immediately, someone stepped forward to fight with the concierge and others.

During the confrontation, the young servant who accompanied the old man raised his head crying loudly, and said to the porter, "My lord, do you still recognize the young one?"

The porter trembled when he heard this address, and turned to look at him in disbelief.

The young man cried: "That day the little one came to deliver the money, and the adults and the Eleventh Lord were there. The Eleventh Lord personally asked the adults to accept our money. Since you have accepted our money, why don't you do things for us? It is not easy for us to save this money..."

Yi Mo's sharp gaze immediately turned to the porter, who shook his lips and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!!"

"The Zhao family is too deceitful. They took the money we saved so hard and said they wanted to give us an official position, but they didn't give it. Now they are forcing our boss to commit suicide!"

These words shocked everyone present. With these words, the uproar and questioning on the spot could no longer stop.

There was complete chaos in front of the Zhao residence.

In the palace, Zhao Cong just went to court, he was a little tired, he did something with Xiao Shiyao yesterday...

The court meeting was very early, he went down, and at one o'clock, he yawned. Although his image was hindered, he was really sleepy.He walked towards Chongzheng Hall, half-closed his eyes, and asked, "Is he awake?"

"Someone came to report just now, saying that he was awake and was about to have breakfast."

Zhao Cong covered it with his hand, and yawned again.

Fu Lu couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, you are so tired, why don't you go back to the Palace of Funing and have a meal with the Lord? Can you catch up on sleep after using it?"

Last night was really a bit...

Zhao Cong really couldn't cheer up, thought for a while, and was about to nod his head, when Lu Yuan ran over from behind, and before he arrived, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty!"

Fu Lu turned around, frowned and said, "You don't know any rules, just running around on the palace road—"

When he saw the impatience on Lu Yuan's face, he stopped talking unknowingly.

"Your Majesty! Something serious happened!" Lu Yuan didn't have time to catch his breath, he threw himself on the ground, and said anxiously without raising his head.

Zhao Cong reached out his hand to wipe away some tears from the corners of his eyes due to yawning, but he still didn't care, and asked, "What's the big deal?"

"Someone died by hitting a stone lion at the door of Mr. Eleven Lang's house! There was blood all over the ground, and the common people were watching!"

Zhao Cong's hands froze, and he looked down at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan raised his head at this moment, with a look on his face that was about to cry, and said again: "Besides, the family of the dead man insisted that Mr. Eleven took money from their family and promised them official positions, but They didn't give it, so they came to ask for an explanation. At this moment, the gate of the Zhao Mansion was surrounded by people! Everyone shouted to go to the Kaifeng government office to report to the official, and some said to go to Zongzheng Temple, and even said they wanted to come to the palace at the door!"

After Zhao Cong heard this, his expression turned cold immediately, and he said in a deep voice, "Call Shao Yi and Zhang Juan into the palace immediately to see me!"

"Yes!" Fu Lu had a serious face, turned around and ran out of the palace.

Zhao Cong turned around and walked towards Chongzheng Hall, Lu Yuan got up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, was about to follow, Zhao Cong turned around, and said: "You go to Funing Hall, think of a way to call your lord Don't leave Funing Hall today."

"Yes!" Lu Yuan turned and ran.

The tired look on Zhao Cong's face had long been swept away, and he led the rest of the people to the Chongzheng Hall.

Zhang Juan is the head of the palace, and Shao Yi came quickly.

They couldn't hide the matter in Beijing, let alone the matter at the gate of Zhao Shiqi's house. In fact, His Majesty didn't send anyone to call them, and they were preparing to enter the palace.Before they entered the palace, they had already clarified the matter, and Zhang Juan had already sent people to the gate of the Zhao residence to maintain order, but His Majesty always loved the people, so they dared not do anything easily, and if they did not do it, the common people would not persuade them to leave.

He was also a little helpless, and it was easy to ask for an explanation when he entered the palace at this moment. He and Shao Yi entered the palace at about the same time, looked at each other, and walked towards the Chongzheng Hall seriously.

Zhao Cong was silent after listening to the two of them explaining the matter in general.

This must be someone trying to harm Xiao Shiyi, knowing what Zhao Cong hates the most, so he will do it.He hates corruption and even more disregard for human life.This time it's good, just go to the two together, and buy two get one free and give away a "pay for money to buy an official".

To say who was responsible, Zhao Cong thought of another person inexplicably.

He looked at Shao Yi and said, "But you can find out who is behind it?"

Shao Yi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, before I entered the palace, I sent people to investigate, and I'm afraid there will be results later."

"What's going on outside right now?"

Zhang Juan lowered his head and said, "They all said they wanted to report to the officials, and some said they wanted to—"

"What do you want?"

"Those who want to search Zhao's residence..."

Zhao Cong sneered: "Search the mansion? Since you dared to sacrifice your life to frame him, I'm afraid that things have already sneaked into the mansion, right? Search the mansion? Only I can order the mansion to be searched. They are very capable!" He slapped the table again, and said angrily, "If there is really a grievance, why don't you go to the Dengwen Drum Academy to beat the Dengwen drums? Wouldn't it be better to see him in person and restore his innocence? If something like this must happen, I think Who are you trying to coerce?!"

Zhang Juan immediately knelt down, seeing that His Majesty was angry, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Listening to the voice, His Majesty has no doubts about Mr. Eleven.That's right, when Eleven Lord "died", His Majesty went crazy.Don't say whether it was the Eleventh Lord who did it, even if it was the Eleventh Lord who did it, His Majesty will cover it up... Zhang Juan thought to himself.

"Drive people away immediately, and the one who takes the lead in making troubles will be imprisoned immediately." Zhao Cong ordered.

"Yes." Zhang Juan agreed, and also understood what His Majesty meant, that he wanted to protect him to the end.

A group of people went out of the palace to deal with it.

In the evening, Shao Yi went to the palace again to report the investigation results to Zhao Cong, and the person behind it was indeed Yi Yu.

Zhao Cong laughed angrily, and said involuntarily, "What is this man doing?"

"I don't know either."

"I will arrange to see Lian Xiucai tomorrow."

"Yes."

Zhao Shiqi didn't leave the Palace of Funing for a day, and no one dared to take these words to the Palace of Funing. He Mo was in a hurry, but he couldn't enter the palace. Zhao Shiqi didn't know anything for the time being.

Zhao Cong sent someone to deal with the matter outside the palace, he thought it would be easy to deal with, so although he was angry, he was not in a hurry.After all, although people were killed, as long as the suppression is timely, nothing will happen.Zhao Cong believed in Zhao Shiqi's character enough, and he had been in the top position for a long time, so he didn't take these people seriously.

Who knew it would never end.

The next day, before he went out of the palace to meet Lian Xiucai, there was someone ginseng Zhao Shiqi at the court.

The things involved are nothing more than things outside the palace.

If it was just such an unfounded thing, it would not be possible to be involved in such a thing, and the censor was involved in other things.

During the autumn period, the students who cheated were disrespectful to His Majesty verbally, but Zhao Shiqi treated it as nothing and did not report it.The censors said that this is the eleventh prince of Weijun Wangfu who has evil intentions.In addition, the Prince Wei Palace is still closed, and many things have always erupted in one place. Unhappy, they came out to echo the censor one after another.

In the end, most of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and asked His Majesty to investigate the matter strictly, and even asked His Majesty to order a search of the house.

They even compared the declining Sun family with the Queen Mother Sun, saying that Zhao Shiqi had the same wolf ambition as them.

Things got really big.

Zhao Shiqi can be hidden for a while, but not for a long time. Zhao Shiqi still knows that the Chuigong Palace is in such a mess.

Most of the officials knelt in the Chuigong Hall, and it was not right for Zhao Cong to leave, let alone not give orders.

The civil servants had a high status, and it was only when Zhao Cong came to power that he began to kill civil servants, but only after committing serious crimes. So far, he has only killed twice.The civil officials of the Song Dynasty regarded themselves very highly, and they were always proud of being able to remonstrate with His Majesty. These can be recorded in the history books.The more it is at this time, the more they have to perform and insist.

Zhao Cong looked at the people sitting and kneeling, and frowned.

For a while, the palace was at an impasse, and at this moment, someone came in from outside against the light, and said loudly: "Go and search."

Zhao Cong raised his head, Zhao Shiqi walked slowly to his seat, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to send someone to search the Zhao residence."
