Chapter 1740

Xia Qiuhong met Yuanding Emperor, and Yuanding Emperor examined him carefully. Ensure that he wouldn't flip the car a second time.

Yang Deguang's previous car's warning, Yuanding Emperor regretted it. The Embroidered Uniform Guard didn't use the right person, delaying how many serious things. If the Embroidered Uniform Guard handled things a little more powerfully, it wouldn't be suppressed to death by Xie Gechen, unable to move.

If the Embroidered Uniform Guard was a little more powerful, he could at least occupy three seats in the Government Affairs Hall. Instead of being like today, only counting on Zhao Jichong to charge into battle alone.

Tian Chongshan, this slippery person, only wants to take money, not fight for him.

He gave Yang Deguang a chance.

Unfortunately, Yang Deguang was really not on the road, his ability was limited, and handling errands was dragging.

Being a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he still cares about his reputation and has to consider the means.

It's infuriating!

He also considered promoting from within the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

It's just that he didn't know who to trust!

The composition of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is complex, and those with ability are all old people. Not necessarily trustworthy. Those who are trustworthy, their ability is not good. He had no choice but to consider cultivating one himself.

Xia Qiuhong knew that the opportunity had arrived, as long as he could grasp it, flying high and rising high was just around the corner.

He was not good at reading, but his brain was indeed smart. Otherwise, with so many people in the Xia family, why was he the only one to walk out of his hometown and stand firm in the capital.

Other Xia family members, given the opportunity, were useless! They kept causing trouble, dragging their feet, and finally had to roll back to their hometown to continue living a bitter life.

He knew what the Emperor wanted to hear, so he specifically said what the Emperor loved to hear.

The core idea is one: whoever the Emperor wants to catch, he will catch. If there is no charge, manufacture a charge, and he will catch the person! As for how to handle the aftermath, believe in the Imperial Prison, believe in colleagues! The Embroidered Uniform Guard is full of talents, and one must know people and appoint them!

Yuanding Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this!

What he wanted was this kind of talent, wholeheartedly sharing worries for him. Not disturbed by external things, only used by him!

Yuanding Emperor was well-versed in the way of controlling subordinates; after asking the questions, he dismissed the person, without saying okay, and without saying not okay.

Xia Qiuhong was uneasy in his heart, guessing endlessly. Could it be that the Emperor disliked him for not reading books, having no culture, and losing face? Going to court, unable to spray with the Three Judicial Offices, falling into the lower class?

He regretted it immediately.

If he had known there would be such an opportunity, no matter what, he would have taken time to read books on weekdays.

Just when he was annoyed and sighing, half a month later, he received an order to transfer to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and serve as a thousand-household official.

Yang Deguang thought that Xia Qiuhong was a relationship household arranged by Supervisor Xia to gild himself in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He had no idea that the other party was coming to take his place.

He also ordered the people below not to make things difficult for Xia Qiuhong, just to give Supervisor Xia a face.

Of course, other Embroidered Uniform Guard colleagues didn't expect that the future superior would be this newly arrived Thousand-Household Xia. He looked like a sturdy man, and his martial arts cultivation was okay. It's just that I don't know what he is like!

Chen Guanlou didn't know anything about what happened in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Even if he knew, he would only say one sentence: deserve it!

No matter what end Yang Deguang falls into, he deserves it! Holding power, and power like the Embroidered Uniform Guard that has the right to behead first and play later, and imperial power special permission, yet he doesn't know how to use it. Living for so many years without dying is already a big life!

He drank plain wine with Sun Daooning.

Since successfully staying in the Government Affairs Hall and continuing to serve as Minister of Justice, Sun Daooning had an extra habit: when he couldn't decide on something, or when he had questions in his heart, he would find Chen Guanlou to drink and solve his doubts.

Chen Guanlou quite liked drinking.

But he only drank flower wine, not plain wine.

Sun Daooning was hindered by his own status, how could the dignified Minister of Justice publicly enter the flower street and willow alley. He demanded that they could only drink plain wine, or go to a pleasure boat, and Chen Guanlou would pay the bill.

Chen Guanlou:...

He didn't have the three words "big head of injustice" written on his head.

Plain wine is plain wine, it's not that he can't drink it.

Found a small tavern, booked the venue, closed the door, and the two sat in the backyard eating dishes and drinking and chatting.

"Recently, the court is mentioning Northwest military affairs again. This year the north will definitely have drought and reduced production, tax revenue will decrease, and maybe disaster relief will be needed. At this time, mentioning Northwest military affairs again is pointing the sword at Marquis Pingjiang."

"What are you telling me this for?"

Chen Guanlou didn't care at all, "Chen Guanfu is in the Government Affairs Hall, you go find him."

"How old is the Marquis this year?" Sun Daooning suddenly asked about Marquis Pingjiang's age.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't know, didn't count. Is he seventy?"

Marquis Pingjiang left the capital for ten or twenty years, and the Marquis's mansion had never held a birthday banquet for him. Chen Guanlou really didn't know Marquis Pingjiang's specific age.

"Definitely! I remember he seems to be the Jiawu year..." Sun Daooning calculated the age silently, just calculating, when suddenly noisy sounds came from outside.

It was actually the steward of the Sun mansion who found him.

Something must have happened.

Summoned the steward to ask.

"My lord, it's not good, news came from the Ministry of Justice, saying that the Fifth Master Song is gone. The case was reported to the Ministry of Justice, and the Vice Minister has already taken people to the scene. My lord, hurry over too."

Sun Daooning was stunned for a moment, getting old, doing everything feels sad, and for a while he didn't react.

"Which Fifth Master Song?"

"Naturally the Fifth Master Song of the Shuncheng King who was stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner!"

"Ah? How could it be him!" Sun Daooning was shocked. Stripped of his title last year, and died this year.

This matter...

Dare not think deeply.

Chen Guanlou immediately proposed, "I will accompany you over. Whether this case is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice or the responsibility of the Imperial Clan Court, I guess it will have to be argued in front of the Emperor. Go to the scene now to understand the situation, so as not to be asked by the Emperor and know nothing."

Sun Daooning nodded in agreement immediately.

He drank wine, walked out of the small tavern, and the wind blew, his head a bit dizzy.

He nagged at Chen Guanlou, "I have an ominous premonition that someone is taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

"Have you ever thought about why Fifth Master Song died?"

"I dare not think, and cannot think! If this matter is not handled well, the water is deep enough to drown people. Do you think I can escape safely?"

"Determine the cause of death first."

Led by Chen Guanlou, the two followed closely behind the Ministry of Justice Vice Minister and came to the mansion where Fifth Master Song was confined.

Judging by the eyes of ordinary people, the mansion was very spacious, more than enough for a family to live in.

But according to Fifth Master Song's status and the number of people in his family, the mere two-entry mansion was so cramped that even turning around was difficult.

Fifth Master Song died in the study, lying on the desk, his eyes unable to close. The expression before death was ferocious and terrifying!

The coroner made a preliminary judgment: died of poisoning!

"Are you sure it's poisoning?" Sun Daooning asked sternly.

Ministry of Justice Left Vice Minister, "It's just a preliminary judgment, the specific situation needs to be verified again and again."

"Since it needs to be verified again and again, how dare you blurt out the four words 'died of poisoning'. Don't you know the severity of it?" Sun Daooning suspected that the Left Vice Minister wanted to cause trouble.

"It's just a preliminary judgment!" The Left Vice Minister argued, "Since there is no conclusion and it hasn't been recorded in the book, why is the lord so nervous."

"Although Fifth Master Song's status is only a commoner, his surname is Song. Don't forget, his birth mother, Imperial Consort Xiao, lives in the Ning King's mansion, and his brother Ning King is rushing over after hearing the news. Your preliminary conclusion could kill people. From this moment on, without my approval, no one is allowed to discuss the cause of Fifth Master Song's death. Where are the people from the Imperial Clan Court? Please cooperate and control everyone in this mansion first; later, I will interrogate the case personally!"
