The wind is blowing

Xia Dong rushed back to Jinling on the fourth day of the lunar new year. Before returning to Jinling, she had already received a secret message from Xiao Jingyan, and she already knew what she was going to do next.However, her master Xia Jiang has become suspicious of her now, so after returning to Beijing this time, her every move can be said to be cautious no matter how cautious she is.

There had been news from Yaowanggu that the secret passage had been dug, but Xiao Jingyan hadn't waited for Xia Dong's summons, so he didn't want to act rashly.

The most important part of his plan this time is based on the fact that Xia Jiang will secretly hide Wei Zheng in the prison of Dali Temple in order to deceive others.But now Wei Zheng has not been transferred to Dali Temple, even Xiao Jingyan can't help feeling a little impatient.In the end, Yichen’s unconscious words reminded him:

"If you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you must have a primer to attract the snake out."

Yes, Xia Jiang has been waiting for him to show his willingness to save people, but so far all their preparations have been done in private.Without the existence of an opportunity, presumably Xia Jiang would not act rashly.

That night, several thieves who fled from other state capitals sneaked into the capital during the New Year's Eve.They broke into several high-ranking official mansions to steal treasures, and even the Fire Phoenix Pearl, a tribute from Ye Kingdom, stored in Baoguang Pavilion was also stolen.

The next day, when the news was almost spread, Xiao Jingyan immediately went to the palace to tell Emperor Liang about the matter, and asked for the patrol battalion to strengthen patrols in Beijing.

After hearing his report, Emperor Liang was furious at the actions of those thieves, and agreed to Xiao Jingyan's request without thinking too much.

Sure enough, under Xiao Jingyan's instructions, not long after the patrol battalion frequently appeared near the Xuanjing Division, on the night of the eighth day of the lunar new year, news finally came from Xia Dong's side.

"People are gone."

After seeing these four words on the note, Xiao Jingyan immediately notified the people of Yaowanggu and Yujin to get them ready, and the time for action was officially set on the tenth day of the lunar new year.At the same time, he secretly went to Mu Wang's mansion. He didn't know what he said to Mu Qing. Anyway, Mu Qing agreed to his request immediately.

Although the waiting time is always long and impatient, the time of day is actually fast, and it is the tenth day of the lunar new year in a blink of an eye.

According to the old rules, the people of Yaowang Valley still sent two people to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion to beat the drums to express their grievances.These days they are like this every day, and the people in the yamen have long been used to it. When they see someone coming, they don't even need to ask for instructions, and they just close the door.There was even a tinge of joy in their hearts, so today seemed like another day to be lazy.

The same goes for the passers-by on the side of the road. From watching the excitement at the beginning to finding nothing interesting later, they stopped paying attention.The daily drumbeat seems to have become free background music, and it has become natural to get used to it.There are also quite a few boring people who even secretly bet on when this group of people will give up and leave.

However, today is doomed to be an unusual day, just because the grievance drum that has been erected at the door since the establishment of the Jingzhao Mansion was actually broken by someone at this time!Almost everyone was a little dumbfounded when they heard the news. Will there be a day when the drum of grievances will be broken?

Before the governor of Jingzhao realized what to do, two great gods that he could not afford to offend had already stood in front of him.

It turned out that today Xiao Jingyan happened to ask Cai Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, to come out to discuss matters. When they passed by the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, they saw a crowd of people there, so they sent someone to ask questions out of curiosity, and unexpectedly got such an astonishing appointment News - the Drum of Worshiping Wrongs was broken!

Cai Quan has always been a person who can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes. During this period of time, he has been investigating the explosion of the private cannon workshop the year before last, so he didn't know that there were people in Jingzhao Mansion complaining about their grievances every day.If he didn't happen to pass by today, I'm afraid he wouldn't know that this is how the people in Jingzhao Mansion deal with the people who have grievances!

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing calm down! Lord Shang Shu calm down!"

Seeing that it was these two people, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake in fright.

"Your Highness and Your Excellency don't know something. It's not that the officials don't want to deal with their cases, but that the people they're suing really make the officials helpless."

Hearing what he said, Cai Quan originally thought it should be some high-ranking official in Beijing, but when he heard that it was Xuan Jingsi after questioning, he felt a little absurd for a moment.

"It turned out to be them. I didn't expect the people from Yaowang Valley to report the crime."

Xiao Jingyan sighed in a timely manner.Sure enough, hearing that he seemed to know something about this matter, Cai Quan immediately asked, and Xiao Jingyan also took the opportunity to tell him all the ins and outs.

"I have heard a little bit about Xuan Jingsi's arrest of the rebel in the old case, but if it is really a rebel, the people from Yaowanggu would not dare to come to complain so blatantly, presumably there is something real in it Concealment."

"I mentioned this matter in front of my father before, but unfortunately, it was not ignored. It is not difficult to resolve this matter. Both parties send individuals to explain the whole story. There is always one party who is wrong. .I wonder if Master Cai is willing to enter the palace with me, and ask my father one more time?"

Cai Quan did not refuse Xiao Jingyan's invitation, but readily agreed.In fact, even if there was no such matter, he just happened to be going to see Emperor Liang, just because of the private gun workshop.

……

When Xia Jiang received the news of Wei Zheng's disappearance from the person in charge of guarding Wei Zheng at Dali Temple, he was sitting in the Xuanjing Division and waiting for Xiao Jingyan's action.He has persisted in this behavior for two days, and today is the third day.

"Say it again! What does it mean that people disappear inexplicably!"

The reason why Xia Jiang spent so much effort to secretly move people from the Xuanjing Division to the prison of Dali Temple is that there is no concealment there.But now someone actually told him that Wei Zheng was missing, and he didn't even know why he was missing!How can you make him believe all this!

It turned out that although Wei Zheng was a prisoner, Xia Jiang didn't dare to starve him to death, otherwise he would have nothing to deal with Xiao Jingyan?Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, the food delivery person delivered the food at a fixed time.But this time, there was only an empty cell to greet them.

Before Xia Jiang could suppress the anger in his heart, another guard came in outside the door, only saying that someone from the palace came, and Emperor Liang sent him into the palace.

The timing of this summoning was so coincidental, Xia Jiang always felt that this should not be a coincidence.It's a pity that even if he knew that there was something wrong with this summoning, he still had to obey orders, after all, the emperor's orders cannot be violated.He had no choice but to give Xia Chun some instructions before leaving, and let him investigate in private first.

When Xia Jiang arrived at the Hall of Martial Arts and saw Xiao Jingyan and Cai Quan who had obviously been waiting for a long time, he frowned secretly.The disappearance of Wei Zheng earlier probably had something to do with Xiao Jingyan.It's a pity that he doesn't have clear evidence in his hand, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so passive at this time.

"Chen Xiajiang, see Your Majesty."

"Well, get up."

Emperor Liang casually raised his hand and asked him to get up and said:

"Xia Jiang, this is actually the reason for asking you to come today. I didn't pay attention to the fact that the people from Yaowanggu were going to sue you before, but who knows, today they are urging people from Jingzhao Mansion to complain about their grievances. It was broken. This matter has already been rumored among the common people, I think, why don't you just pull that Wei Zheng out and have a good talk with the other party, so that this matter can be resolved."

Xia Jiang hadn't had time to know about the grievance drum.At this time, after learning about this from Emperor Liang's mouth, his expression immediately became ugly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have something to report to you. I just got the news that Wei Zheng was robbed by someone for treason!"
