today for you

After carefully distinguishing, I found that the ministers did not seem to be arguing, but before I had time to investigate, an unexpected move ushered in.

Zhang Yuli walked towards me with red eyes and knelt down slowly.I was startled and hurried to help him, but Zhang Yuli said sadly.

"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty, old minister, to save my grandson's life!"

I froze there on the spot.Looking around in confusion, I forgot to ask Zhang Yuli to get up, so I asked suspiciously, "What happened?"

The expressions of several ministers present were very serious. Zhongshu Lingwen apologized and came out more: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin is missing, and his life and death are still unknown. The ministers and others only got the news today."

Soon, an emergency meeting different from the normal court meeting was held in the Xuanzheng Hall. The attendees included Zhongshu Lingwen Apologetics, servants Chao Qinghua and Yan Lu, Shangshu Ling Wu Yingmian, and six ministers under Shangshu Province. Zhang Yuli attended and spoke in particular, and Secretary-General Li Mian took the minutes of the meeting.

The meeting this time was very hasty, I had just returned to the palace, and before I had time to have dinner, I quickly arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall after changing into my normal clothes.Because the number of participants was not large, the meeting place was set in the side hall of Xuanzheng Hall.

"Stop saluting, the situation is urgent, let's start the meeting first." I hurriedly walked into the side hall, waved my hand to avoid the formal salutes of the ministers, and sat on the main seat without raising my head.

After I took my seat, all the ministers also took their seats.This side hall is small, and there are not many ministers who come to discuss politics, so there are seats for all of them.But the upholstered seats under the valley did not make them feel comfortable at the moment.

Zhang Yuli was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, according to the bulletin received an hour ago, Qin Wangdian has been missing for more than a month, and there is still no news." The panic of hastily hearing the bad news has passed, and Zhang Yuli quickly adjusted his state.

I have already read the bulletin delivered from King Qin's fiefdom, and the sender has been interrogated by Li Mian during the assembly time of the ministers. Now I urgently need more information.

"Report on the interrogation situation." I looked cold and solemn.

Li Mian stepped forward: "It is reported that His Royal Highness Qin Wang disappeared in the fief, and the last person to see him should be his bodyguard, but he disappeared along with the bodyguard who protected him, and no one has seen King Qin again. It is reported that King Qin was inspecting the land before he disappeared."

"King Qin only brought one guard with him when he inspected the fief?" This is unreasonable.

"That's not the case. The King of Qin traveled with a guard of honor, and was accompanied by hidden guards. According to the scouts, the King of Qin was making an unannounced visit to a certain place before he disappeared. The guard of honor stopped at the local post as a cover. In addition to the accompanying guards, the hidden guards also went together. Protection. But a few days later, the local government office received a report from the public, saying that many corpses were found, and the government went to investigate and found that the dead were all secret guards of the Communist Party."

"Not one left?"

"The seven secret guards who were working at that time all died."

The dark guard died, and King Qin and the guard disappeared together.No matter how you look at it, this is a premeditated action.

I asked, "Which place did King Qin visit before he disappeared?"

"Tongling County. It is a large tax-paying county in Guangnan Prefecture. It has a prosperous economy and a dense population. It is also the key area for King Qin's inspection this time."

Combining what Li Mian said with what I saw in the booklet, it is easy to deduce a clue.Qin Wang's inspection turned into an unannounced visit, which must be due to some local problems. When a problematic local government faces an inspection by a superior leader, it will inevitably take cover-up actions, obstruct the inspection, destroy evidence, and even kill.

From what we know so far, this is the most likely inference.I can think of it, and naturally the ministers can think of it too.

Shangshu ordered Wu Yingmian to say: "The most likely thing right now is that there is something wrong with Tongling County. Why did King Qin disappear in Tongling County instead of another county? Why didn't King Qin make unannounced visits in Tongling County instead of other counties? Where did it come from?" If there is a problem, the responsibility will be held wherever. The problems in Tongling County are definitely not small."

"What Wu Shangshu said is true," Zhongshu Lingwen apologized, "but there is one thing I don't understand. The King of Qin has a high status, and a fifth-rank county magistrate, no matter how courageous he is, can't easily lay his mind on the prince. The consequences are not as simple as Zhu Jiu Clan!"

"In your opinion, Lord Wen, who is most likely to commit this crime of treason?" Wu Yingmian asked.

"I don't know, Tongling county magistrate will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility, but a county magistrate certainly doesn't have such great power to hold a prince hostage," Wen apologized, turning to face me, "I would venture to guess that this case It must have been involved in a wide range, and may even shake the officialdom in Guangnan."

"I have an objection," Chao Qinghua, the servant who has been listening, began to express his opinion, "If it is true as Master Wen said, every state and every government is involved, then the disappearance of His Royal Highness King Qin will definitely be covered up, and we will not wait until the villain is done. , will definitely not let His Majesty who is far away in the capital know. It will take nearly a month to arrive from Guangnan Prefecture to the capital at a fast pace, but the messenger sent from Guangnan Prefecture arrived in the capital within one month and a few days after the incident. , almost as soon as it was confirmed that the prince was missing, he rushed to the capital, which is inconsistent with reasoning."

"My minister seconded the proposal," another waiter also stood up, "If the Guangnan officialdom has any plans against the King of Qin, the whole society will be controlled, and it is impossible to disclose the situation of Guangnan to the outside world, and the messenger Apart from being exhausted, the person did not feel panicked after chasing and fleeing, whether the local government hijacked the king of Qin in a premeditated manner is still uncertain."

I have heard the inferences of the ministers. What they say is reasonable, but there must always be a murderer who intends to murder King Qin. Who is this person, what is his motive, and how to take him away? Analysis is inconclusive, so I said.

"Bring that person up, and I will interrogate him myself."

Soon, the messenger who had been placed nearby was brought up by the guards.The man had an ordinary face and a thin body. He was full of travel and dust, and he didn't have time to rest in the future. After kneeling down, he was still trembling, with obvious tension.

"Who are you and what position do you hold?" I asked directly.

"The villain's name is Gou Li. He was originally a scout of Zhechong Mansion in Tongling County. He later joined the Communist Party as an errand and was a guard of the palace." Although nervous, this Gou Li still spoke fluently.

"When did you set out to report the disappearance of King Qin?" I continued to ask.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is the fifth day since His Royal Highness King Qin disappeared."

"Why the delay for so long?"

"Your Majesty, before His Royal Highness King Qin disappeared, he had informed Mr. Hou that he would return a few days late, so at the beginning, no one in the palace thought that His Royal Highness was missing. Later, the Tongling County Government came to report and found Wang Anwei's body. In the past three days, Mr. Hou led the guards of the palace and searched together with the entire Guangnan government office for two days, but His Highness was not found, so he ordered the villain to report to Beijing overnight, "

From this point of view, it was not the people around King Qin who deliberately delayed the opportunity. I thought about it, and then asked: "Who is this Mr. Hou?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Mr. Hou's surname is Hou and his name is Ku Feng. He is a local celebrity in Guangnan Prefecture. He has excellent knowledge and outstanding ability. He has been the prince's favored guest for the past two years."

"Who is running the palace now? How was the palace before you came?"

"Mr. Hou and the steward of the palace are in charge. Before the villain came to Beijing, Mr. Hou ordered everyone to go back to the palace, except for necessary personnel to search for the whereabouts of the prince. The entire palace is closed to thank guests, and there is no contact with the outside world for the time being."

The government that discovered the body of the secret guard immediately notified □□, the Prince’s Mansion quickly responded, and rushed to a joint search, but the search failed for a while, so in order to avoid unnecessary complications, they closed their doors to thank guests...

I pondered for a while, there was no loophole in what this little guard said, and I could hear the efforts they made after discovering that King Qin was missing, and even testified for the entire Guangnan Mansion that they had no intention of murdering the royal family.At best, it was dereliction of duty.

Looking at Gou Li who was kneeling obediently, I asked again: "King Qin traveled lightly and left the guard of honor to go unannounced. What did he find?"

"The villain is not a capable person around the prince. The villain just heard afterwards that the county magistrate of Tongling County may have colluded with the Jianghu green forest. The prince's unannounced visit may be because of this." Gou Li thought for a moment before saying.

"Collusion with Jianghu green forest? Tell me everything you know." I said.

Regarding how Tongling county magistrate colluded with Lvlin, Gou Li couldn't say anything, but his ancestors were from Guangnan Prefecture for generations, so he was very familiar with the situation in Guangnan Prefecture.In his narration, I heard a different Da Yin.

Guangnan Prefecture is located in the southwest, and it used to be a barren land. The Great Yin Dynasty has been in power for so many years, and it has also supported the underdeveloped border areas. Although the current Guangnan County is not as good as the Jiangnan Water Town in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it has at least left behind the ethnic groups on the prairie. Dozens of streets.

But Guangnan is still poor, and no one dares to go there.Poverty is actually only one aspect, the key is that the local folk customs are tough.In fact, this also has something to do with a decision made by Mao Zedong when he established the Great Yin.

When the world was still in chaos, forced by reality, folk martial arts prevailed. Out of the original intention of protecting the people who suffered from the war, some sects did not hide from the world and cultivated. They went out to fight for justice and recruit disciples. Compatible with taking in refugees, it gained a high reputation for a while.

This is also a good thing, after all, the great heroes serve the country and the people.But it may be that the martial arts school has tasted the benefits of being famous and powerful. At the beginning of the world, they still have to stick to their own one-acre three-point land, relying on their merits in the world, and plan to be their own emperor.

Can you agree to this?Certainly not.But after all, the strength of martial arts masters is not in the same order of magnitude as that of ordinary sergeants. Not long after the battle, the police did not want to waste the lives of the soldiers in the army on consumption and internal fighting, so they used poisonous tactics.Anyway, through various unspeakable conspiracies, Mao successfully split the martial arts. □□Don't want to give up talents, so they recruited a group, which is the group under the account of General Hushi now.

But there are always people who are born to love freedom, and would rather die for freedom than live for wealth. This group of hard bones □□ out of sight and out of sight, they were scattered and exiled everywhere. Nan Fu.

It can be said that today's Guangnan Prefecture is the place with the most Jianghu culture. The ordinary residents here may be two-handed, and it is not impossible to have one or two peerless masters.In this way, how can the folk customs not be tough?

Because of the reason, the entire officialdom of Da Yin didn't like the so-called green forest heroes, and they also took the attitude of letting them go if they didn't make troubles, and beating them hard when they made troubles.It would be a little tricky if the county magistrate colluded with people in the rivers and lakes.
