Emperor Liang couldn't believe his ears for a while, and asked again hesitantly:

"What did you say?"

"The traitor Wei Zheng was robbed."

Emperor Liang slapped the imperial case in front of him, his face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at Xia Jiang with a trembling hand.

"Speak clearly, how could such a thing happen? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone actually dared to rob the rebel from the Xuanjing Division directly. Isn't this a rebellion? Who the hell? He dared to do such a thing! "

Xia Jiang touched the ground with his forehead and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent and let the cunning thieves rob Wei Zheng. However, according to my opinion, the only person who can have this strength in the capital now is the man from the Medicine King Valley. Please allow the minister to go. Catch these thieves together."

Before Emperor Liang could say anything about this matter, Cai Quan, who had been staying silent all the time, couldn't stand it at first.

"Your Majesty, this matter must never happen. Since the people from Yaowanggu are willing to go to Jingzhao Mansion to surrender, it means that they must also believe that the court can give them justice. Xia Shouzun only said that they have this Possibly, but if they really robbed the traitor, then why would they go to Jingzhao Mansion every day to appeal for grievances. Usually, shouldn’t they just run away quickly after robbing the traitor?”

At this time, Xiao Jingyan also stood up from the side at the right time, echoing:

"Father, my son thinks what Master Cai said is reasonable. Besides, is the Xuanjing Division a place to break into whenever he wants? Father knows how strong the Xuanjing Division is. Although the Medicine King Valley is in the Jianghu It is a bit powerful, but they only entered Beijing this time with twenty or thirty people. How could they have such a great ability to break into the Xuanjing Division? Not to mention that the dungeon in the Xuanjing Division is full of traps. You know there's always going in and out there."

Facing such a situation that was very unfavorable to him, Xia Jiang endured so much that he almost gritted his teeth.He really never considered that Wei Zheng could be rescued by someone, and it was done in such a way without leaving any clues.but!It would be a big mistake if they could count on him to concede defeat.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed not many people in the Valley of the Medicine Kings, but as far as I know, the owner of the Valley of the Medicine Kings has a very good friendship with the unicorn talent Mei Changsu. It would be a big difference to help out with suggestions.”

When Xia Jiang suddenly mentioned the name Mei Changsu, Emperor Liang couldn't figure out who it was.It wasn't until Gao Zhan reminded him "Su Zhe" softly next to him that he remembered the existence of this person.

"Then where is this Su Zhe now?"

Xia Jiang was about to answer Emperor Liang's question, but Xiao Jingyan who was at the side was one step ahead of him.

"Father, my son thought that Xia Shouzun had started to bite at random! Now that Wei Zheng has been rescued, shouldn't Xia Shouzun take retrieving the traitor as his top priority? Why did he keep fighting in front of Father? Do you question other people? Not to mention that the Mr. Su that the emperor said had left the capital many years ago, how could he have anything to do with this matter."

The reason why Xiao Jingyan asked Li Gang and Zhen Ping to take Mei Changsu away early was to prevent Xia Jiang from having an excuse to involve others.I didn't expect the other party to be so frenzied. In order to suppress him, he had already started to use any means.

"Xia Shouzun's behavior like this really makes my son doubt whether this traitor was really kidnapped."

"What's the meaning of His Highness Prince Jing! Would I hide someone myself and go to His Majesty to complain?"

Xia Jiang stared at Xiao Jingyan with eyes that had turned red.He realized that he had really misread the person in front of him.I thought that his xinxing would not change for so many years, but I didn't expect, oh, I didn't expect that people can change.

"Then why did Xia Shouzun never say how the thieves snatched the traitor from the Xuanjing Department from the very beginning?"

"Yeah, I also think it's a bit strange, the dungeon of Xuanjing Division, it's not said that someone can snatch people from it."

The question Xia Jiang tried his best to avoid from the beginning was finally asked by Emperor Liang himself, and he had to answer it.

"Return to Your Majesty, Wei Zheng... was actually robbed from Dali Temple..."

"Dali Temple? Why is Dali Temple involved?"

Emperor Liang was a little dizzy and didn't understand the situation for a long time.Xiao Jingyan's eyes were cold, and he said lightly:

"Such an important prisoner is not locked up in Xuanjing Division but in Dali Temple. Is Xia Shouzun deliberately hoping that he will be robbed?"

Xia Jiang knew that the transfer of prisoners to Dali Temple was his fault, but of course he couldn't tell the emperor about his vicious thoughts, so before Emperor Liang asked, he hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, I know that I have not obtained any real evidence, but I still refuse to accept the charges that His Royal Highness King Jing has imposed on me so forcefully! The person was indeed lost in the hands of Secretary Xuan Jing, and the old minister has no shirkable responsibility, but the situation is complicated. Please also please Your Majesty." Tolerate the minister for a few days, and the minister will definitely bring the traitor back to justice!"

Seeing that Xiao Jingyan was about to say something, Emperor Liang's head hurt unusually.Although this time the matter seemed suspicious, but Xia Jiang had worked for him for so many years, if he wanted to say that the other party would lie to him, it was probably not very likely.So, in order to stop the two people from arguing, he hurriedly said:

"Okay, okay, what Jingyan just said is correct, the most important thing right now is to get him back again, so let's do what Xia Jiang said."

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

Xia Jiang was about to take advantage of the situation to leave, but at this moment a young eunuch suddenly ran in from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Yuwang is asking to see you."

"Jing Huan? Why is he here...let him in."

Xia Jiang's words were also interrupted by King Yu's actions, so he could only get up and stand aside.

"My son sees my father."

King Yu came in from the outside, saluted Emperor Liang as usual.

"Get up, why did you come here suddenly today?"

"Father, I heard that the traitor from years ago was robbed, so I came here to report to my father. But since Xia Shouzun is here, I must be late."

Having said that, before Emperor Liang could say anything, he turned around and said to Xiao Jingyan with a face full of hatred:

"Jingyan! You said that your father treats you so well on weekdays, how could you ignore this kindness at all! Who is Wei Zheng? He is the deputy general who rebelled against Lin Shu, even though I know you had a good relationship with that Lin Shu back then. You can wear a pair of pants, but you absolutely cannot do things like robbing a prison, right?"

When King Yu turned his attention to Prince Jing, Xia Jiang knew that something would happen.Sure enough, as soon as King Yu finished speaking, Emperor Liang's face darkened instantly.

For this kind of pig-like teammate, Xia Jiang can't control him too much, it's better to get away as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, it is urgent to catch the rebel. Please forgive me and leave first."

Considering that the next scene where he would teach his son a lesson might not look good, Emperor Liang waved his hand at Xia Jiang's request, which means he agreed.

Same as Xia Jiang's choice, Xiao Jingyan and Cai Quan looked at each other and asked to leave.Seeing that he didn't take the opportunity to dwell on Yu Wang's words just now, Emperor Liang was a little satisfied and his face looked better, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing that his words not only did not have the expected results, but also that his father was so amiable to Xiao Jingyan, Yu Wang had some vague premonitions in his heart.What, did something go wrong?The person who reported the letter just now is indeed from the Xuanjing Division.

At this time, the only outsider left on the court was Cai Quan. Emperor Liang was about to let him kneel down, but unexpectedly he spoke first:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Yu Wang came down just in time, and I have something to report to His Majesty."

"What's Cai Qing going to report?"

Cai Quan said in a flat tone:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has recently concluded a case related to the incident that the Ministry of Household Affairs secretly set up a private artillery workshop last year. I think it is necessary to report the details to Your Majesty."

"Private Paofang? It's about the collusion between King Xian and Lou Zhijing from the Hubu? Didn't you figure it out a long time ago? Why, is there something wrong?"

The Xian Wang mentioned by Emperor Liang of course refers to the former prince who was deposed for less than a year.

"The case of Private Cannon Square was personally investigated by Mr. Shen from the Household Department. The facts of the case are clear, the accounts are clear, and the responsibilities of King Xian and Lou Zhijing during this period are not inappropriate. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with it. It refers to... the explosion that triggered the private cannon workshop..."
