Emperor Xianlong's eyes were deep and he listened carefully to Zheng Jie's report.
When a murder occurred in Furong Garden, Emperor Xianlong was naturally very concerned about it.
One is that this matter concerns the royal family's face, and the other is that this matter involves whether the Jiedu Envoy's capital banquet can be held as scheduled.
If this matter is affected, Emperor Xianlong's layout and planning will have to be adjusted.
This was naturally not what Emperor Xianlong wanted to see.
"How is the investigation of the criminal case going?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the bad guy is under urgent investigation, but the results have not been found yet."
Zheng Jie answered truthfully.
The reason is also very simple. When an incident happens suddenly, even bad guys have to mobilize manpower temporarily to investigate the case bit by bit.
It can only be said that His Majesty's expectations for bad people are too high, that's why you ask such a question.
"Who is in charge of this case now?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is Zhao Xun, the crook in the scarlet robe."
"Zhao Xun..."
Emperor Xianlong's mood was very complicated when he heard this name.
On the one hand, this son has repeatedly solved strange cases recently and made great contributions to the court.
On the other hand, this guy was a little too strong in the limelight for a while, overwhelming everyone, and making everyone else appear to be mediocre people.
Could it be that such a large court could only rely on one Zhao Xun?
This made Emperor Xianlong feel very unhappy.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Zhao Xun issued a military order in front of the bad commander Feng Hao, guaranteeing that the case will be solved. If not..."
"What if not?"
Emperor Xianlong raised his eyebrows and said.
"If not, he is willing to let Feng Hao do whatever he wants."
"This guy is quite courageous."
Emperor Xianlong had to admit that Zhao Xun was very outstanding among the younger generation.
But the more he stands out, the more incompetent he appears to others.
How could such a large court and such a large Zhou Empire be unable to find a second young man comparable to Zhao Xun?
Emperor Xianlong felt a little unbelievable.
"Zhao Xun has done a good job with this military order. I really want to see what tricks Zhao Xun can come up with."
For Emperor Xianlong, this was a sure profit.
It would be best for Zhao Xun to find out the truth, so that he can naturally bring the murderer behind the scenes to justice.
If Zhao Xun couldn't find out, he could also take this opportunity to beat Zhao Xun and tell him to restrain himself from the recent limelight.
As a minister, one must avoid overestimating one's achievements.
Although this son is still far away from being a master of great achievements, Emperor Xianlong felt that he should still be struck in time.
"I'm tired, dear, please step aside."
Emperor Xianlong waved his hand, and Zheng Jie immediately saluted and excused himself.
After leaving the Zichen Palace, the eunuch and eunuch returned directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"I ordered you to keep an eye on the bad guys' movements secretly, and come back and report to me immediately if anything happens."
He was not completely at ease with the bad guy Zheng Jie, so he planned to set up a back-up plan.
In this way, even if something goes wrong in the middle, Zheng Jie can make it right in time.

After Zhao Xun left the Delinquency Office, he went to two places.
One is Qinglian Temple and the other is Haoran Academy.
The purpose of his going to these two places was to move reinforcements from the sidelines.
If his guess is correct and Princess Xuanhuai is the murderer behind the Furong Garden case, then what he will have to face will not just be an ordinary person, but a high-quality practitioner.
The opponent's level may be level four, or even level three.
And Zhao Xun is only at the eighth level, so how can he fight with the opponent?
Even if he faced him head-on, Zhao Xun felt like he was facing a dead end.
So Zhao Xun had to find off-field assistance.
Fortunately, Zhao Xun lacks everything except the protection of his boss.
Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi is a second-grade strong man, which is theoretically enough to protect Zhao Xun.
However, Zhao Xun feels that to be on the safe side, you should find a double insurance policy.
He hesitated for a long time between Qin Tianjian and the academy, and finally chose the academy.
The main reason is that the overall strength of Qin Tianjian is concentrated in the head.
Except for Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, Zhao Xun couldn't trust the strength of the others.
As for the academy, Zhao Xun would not have such worries.
The chief of the mountain is a Confucian sage, and his combat prowess is off the charts, so of course it goes without saying.
There are seventy-two sages and three thousand disciples under the mountain chief.
In Zhao Xun's words, everyone in the academy is talented and well-spoken. He really likes being there.
If he hadn't been involved in official duties and lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, practicing in the academy would indeed be a good choice.
Now that Zhao Xun is in crisis, it is natural for him to think of the academy.
Even if the mountain leader doesn't take action, he still has so many senior brothers and sisters who can rely on him.
Zhao Xun didn't think there was any shame in using his connections in the academy.
This is a rational use of resources.
They are a family that loves each other and should help each other.
The Academy Youth League was fully mobilized by Zhao Xun, and even the senior and second senior sisters promised that if Zhao Xun was in danger, they would rush to rescue him as soon as possible.
In this way, Zhao Xun felt more at ease.
The disciples who entered the academy were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Even if they can't compete with Princess Xuanhuai individually, they still have an advantage together.
The next step is to set up the game and wait for the opponent to take the bait.
Princess Xuanhuai, don't you want to lure the tiger away from the mountain? I will use your plan to do this.

The emperor issued an imperial edict and Jiedu made the capital banquet held as scheduled.
This more or less surprised everyone.
After all, a murder case just occurred in Furong Garden, and the case is still under investigation.
At this juncture, His Majesty announced that the banquet would continue as usual, which made people feel a little uneasy for a while.
But no matter how uneasy they were, they could not disobey the imperial edict.
Since Your Majesty has made such a decision, Your Majesty must have a reason.
They only need to accompany the king and they don't need to think too much about the rest.
In other words, it’s useless for them to think too much.
To put it ten thousand steps back, the Shenwu Army, the Longwu Army, the Jinwu Guards, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, so many people are not living on a regular basis. The banquet venue will definitely be surrounded by water, and even flies can't fly away.
Come in.
Besides, aren’t there still bad people?
Bad people have given them a lot of surprises recently.
Several major cases were solved by bad people. It is said that the Furong Garden case is also being investigated by bad people.
Your Majesty should be confident after getting the latest progress in tracking down the bad guys.
Since His Majesty is not afraid, they have nothing to be afraid of.
The banquet was still held as usual, and the courtiers who accompanied the king should also show their due magnanimity and not lose the dignity of the court in front of all the governors.
The imperial court is the imperial court. Even though the Jiedu envoy has a big tail and is known as the emperor of the earth, in fact he is still completely incomparable to the emperor.
His Majesty probably also wants to use this banquet to beat these Jiedushi envoys and let them understand who is the real son of destiny, the Lord of the Nine-Five-Year Plan.
All the courtiers have to do is to cooperate with His Majesty in performing this great drama.
