The eunuch chief Fugui next to him was listening, and his heart couldn't help trembling. This Minister of Punishment was an old minister left behind by the former emperor. When the emperor was in charge in the early days, he suffered a lot from this old fox. This is undoubtedly to liquidate.

In fact, not only Fugui, the two officials kneeling on the ground, but also Bao Zheng, who was standing quietly beside him, all had this kind of understanding in their hearts, quietly raised their heads and glanced at the emperor sitting on the top , I saw that under his angry appearance, his eyes were extraordinarily calm, which confirmed the guess in my heart.

Although the incident that happened this time was huge, it was not enough for the emperor to make such a decision. He not only demoted the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but also directly transferred him from the real power department. the power of.

Transfer one away, and put another one of his confidants in. This time, the emperor's control over the six departments of the court will undoubtedly become deeper. Only the part of obedience, this is the name of righteousness, only a little mistake, if the emperor wants to punish you, then you can't avoid it.

Thank you respectfully, Zhao Youde felt helpless in his heart, he was on the queen mother's side in the past, so he couldn't help but not support the little emperor's policy. Originally he thought he had done nothing wrong, but who would have imagined it? The emperor grew up so fast, not only the queen dowager's family quickly fell, but he himself was also facing the end of being liquidated by the other party.

With a secret sigh in his heart, Zhao Youde thought of the other comrades who had a more miserable fate than himself, and he couldn't help but feel lucky. Although the power in his hands was deprived, some of them were still left behind. It can be regarded as more than enough than the top and more than the bottom.

Seeing that the emperor had dealt with the members of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Bao Zheng took a step forward and bowed his hands in salute, with some worry in his tone: "Your Majesty, once the incident with the Ministry of Criminal Justice happened, it also shows the strength of that organization. I'm afraid it is stronger than we imagined." To be even more unfathomable, since there are people like them in the Ministry of Punishment, it is hard to say whether there will be in the other departments, or even..."

Bao Zheng didn't say what he said next, but Zhao Heng understood it completely, and his face couldn't help being a little gloomy. Since ancient times, the emperors of all dynasties have hated these assassins and the organizations behind them the most. After all, it's about their personal lives. Safety.

For example, this time, even if Bao Zheng did not report in advance and set up such a situation to lure the other party to jump in, Zhao Heng might not be in trouble. After all, the strength of the royal enshrined is not a joke.

But if this kind of thing happens a few more times, even if the other party seems to have bought the soldiers of the Ministry of Justice, he also bought the royal priests, although Zhao Heng doesn't think anyone will offer better conditions than the royal family. , but don't be afraid of the eventuality, just be afraid of the [-], there is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief.

"Bao Zheng, I am now entrusting you with full authority to deal with this matter. You must find out all the information about this organization and eradicate it. When necessary, I will entrust you with the power to dispatch the forbidden army!"

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Heng quickly made up his mind. Although it was said that just now with the help of this organization, an obstacle in the court was abolished, but compared to these small political obstacles, this A venomous snake that hides in the shadows and takes a bite is even more disgusting.

"Yes, I will do my best to dig this organization out of the shadows..."

Hearing that the emperor had even granted him the authority to dispatch the Imperial Army, Bao Zheng was shocked in his heart, knelt down on the ground, and respectfully accepted the appointment.

The Great Song Dynasty was different from the previous Great Tang Dynasty. The control over the army was extremely strict. Not only did the generals of each army have to change their defenses, without the transfer of the court, they did not even have the right to move freely, even if they were appointed by the court. , and have to go through layers of scrutiny before they can deploy troops.

This is also why a small Taihang Mountain can defeat heavily armed soldiers of the Song Dynasty several times. Not to mention their weak combat effectiveness, even their deployment is very troublesome, and they are subject to the restraint of civilian officials and supervising troops. The generals who lead the troops are talented, and it is difficult to make any big moves in the face of such a situation.

For example, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the kind of thing that Huo Qubing led some cavalry to conduct a surprise attack and win a big victory would never have happened in the Song Dynasty. Maybe he was directly escorted out to receive the reward by the soldiers under his account, which is not certain.

From this, we can also see how amazing Zhao Heng gave Bao Zheng this right, and how strong Zhao Heng's determination to get rid of that organization is.

Even Zhan Zhao, who didn't know much about these things, couldn't help sighing deeply as he watched from the sidelines. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. Of course, these worries weren't for that organization that didn't look like a good guy at first glance, but It's because of drugs.

Although the other party broke away from that organization, he was once a member of that organization after all, which cannot be erased no matter what, and, judging by Lai Yao'er's appearance, he still has some ties with the other party, although the emperor doesn't know this now However, as the case progresses, Lai Yao'er will always be a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. Even if Mr. Bao doesn't want to talk about it, he probably has to talk about it.

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao secretly made up his mind that he must help Mr. Bao find the mastermind behind this matter as soon as possible. Only in this way, the time will not be too long, and Lai Yao'er will have a chance not to be involved.

"You are so leisurely. It's already busy outside, and you're still drinking leisurely here!"

It was still the Huxin Pavilion when we met last time. As soon as Bai Yutang arrived here, he saw a few small dishes on the table and a pot of wine in a jade pot. Lai Yao'er was sitting on a stool with a green He is still holding a book in his hand and studying carefully. He takes a sip of wine from time to time, and he does not look like a person in the world, but like a scholar who has read a lot of poetry and books.

"Why do you come here when you have time? Are you accompanying Zhan Zhao to investigate the case from time to time?"

Seeing Bai Yutang's figure, Lai Yao'er put down the scroll in his hand in some surprise, raised his hand, and made a gesture of invitation, motioning him to sit down and talk.

"Of course I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do. Master Bao's place is so short of manpower. If I didn't have something to answer for you, how could I come to you in this spare time!"

Bai Yutang sat across from Lai Yaoer unceremoniously, and said with some sighs, since Mr. Bao received this imperial decree from the emperor, most of the manpower and material resources of the entire Kaifeng Mansion have been devoted to this matter In the middle, just this, I still can't handle it, everyone is too busy to touch the ground, if it's not for the blessing of Lai Yao'er, I'm afraid he won't have such leisure.

"What about Zhan Zhao, why didn't he come?"

Lai Yao'er naturally knew that the Kaifeng Mansion was trying its best to track down Lin Feng's whereabouts during this time, but Lai Yao'er only sent people to collect some information from time to time, and occasionally paid attention to the development of things, but didn't want to intervene in the slightest the meaning of.

As a former member of the organization, it is naturally impossible for him to turn his head to deal with the organization, but at the same time, he has already left there, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with him, since it has nothing to do, there is no need to intervene What's more, he knew Lin Feng well. With the opponent's ability, if he didn't use the power of the entire court, it would be difficult to catch him with only the Kaifeng family.

"For such a trivial matter, it is enough for me to come alone. If no one else can enter the gate of your unnamed villa, I am afraid that Mr. Bao would not even let me go. You don't know that now the entire Kaifeng mansion, even Those maids are all used!"

With a wry smile and shook his head, Bai Yutang didn't even know what he was thinking, he was so busy, what was he trying to do, even if Mr. Bao wiped out the entire organization, it wouldn't do him any good no.

But thinking about what the other party said to him, Bai Yutang also had to admire Master Bao's eyes that could see people, he could tell what kind of person he was at a glance, and he could move him to his own with just a few words. No wonder Zhan Zhao has always been devoted to him.

"Then it seems that it is really not easy for you to come out!"

Hearing the exaggeration of the other party, Lai Yao'er couldn't help being amused, then picked up another wine glass, poured a glass of wine for Lai Yao'er and handed it to the other party, said with a slight satisfaction tone: "This is the green plum wine newly brewed in the Fuchu. , you can have a try, it can be regarded as a hard work to come here when you are no longer so busy..."

Although Lai Yaoer and Bai Yutang had known each other not long ago, and they had been arguing nonstop some time ago, some people never know how long it takes to make friends. In front of Lai Yao'er, Tang never restrained himself. In fact, even if Lai Yao'er didn't pour it for him, he would pour himself a glass. People in the world are always fond of wine, and Bai Yutang is no exception.

"Good wine!"

As soon as he took the wine, before he swallowed it, Bai Yutang's eyes lit up, and after he drank it and savored it carefully, he couldn't help admiring it.

Picking up the jug at the side, Bai Yutang poured himself another glass, and after the glass was exhausted, he raised his head and looked at Lai Yao'er in surprise: "Did you make this wine? I didn't expect it, you Do you even know how to make wine?"
