Volume Six: The Peaceless Case of Jing'an Chapter One Hundred and Sixty: Song Rengui's Visit
Soon, Duan Ming, Xu Shizhong and Zhu Cui arrived in Kyoto.
However, despite such a big thing happening, the people in Kyoto seemed not to be affected in any way.
The streets and alleys are crowded with people, and there is an endless stream of vendors.
They found a random restaurant and Duan Ming and Zhucui ate while listening to the situation in Kyoto.
As for Xu Shizhong, as soon as he entered the capital, he went directly to the Mingjing Department to find Xing Qianqiu.
However, the rumors in the restaurant are not credible. There are even rumors that King Jing'an has three heads and six arms, and looks like an evil ghost.
Zhucui wanted to laugh more and more as she listened, and asked Duan Ming in a low voice: "Mr. Duan, where do you think this came from? And 'the overlord of hell comes to the human world and can control ghosts and gods'. If this is really the case,
Who can capture King Jing'an?"
"People will always demonize things that they cannot understand. This is very normal." Duan Ming smiled and said: "After all, there is nothing easier to explain than demonizing something."
"Just like a lunar eclipse in the sky, if I tell you that it's because the earth, moon, and sun are exactly in a straight line, and it's because the earth blocks the light from the sun that shines on the moon, then I'm afraid many people won't understand it."
"But if I tell you that this is because there is a Tengu in the sky, and it eats the moon every once in a while, it will be much easier to accept it."
"People are more accustomed to accepting things that they can understand."
"I seem to understand." Zhucui nodded.
At this moment, a figure came up from downstairs. When Duan Ming saw this figure, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why is it him?"
I saw this figure looking around, then went straight to the table where Duan Ming was sitting, and slowly sat down: "Mr. Duan."
"Commander Song, long time no see." Duan Ming looked at the figure in front of him and said in a deep voice.
He is none other than Song Rengui, the current commander of the Imperial City Division.
"Mr. Duan came to the capital at this time, so he must have heard about that incident." Song Rengui said solemnly: "I know that Mr. Duan was unhappy with the letter I submitted directly to Yu Chen in the morning..."
"Don't say that, it's not pleasant or unpleasant." Duan Ming shook his head: "I'm just curious, what is your purpose to add insult to injury at that time?"
"Sure enough, Mr. Duan misunderstood." Song Rengui smiled and said in a deep voice: "Actually, Song was forced to report those letters to the court that morning."
"Haha, I would like to hear the details." Duan Ming said.
"Actually, Yu Chen's letter was not found by Song, but suddenly appeared in the Imperial City Division the day before that day." Song Rengui said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the Imperial City Division has obtained it.
A letter is the letter between King Jing'an and Yu Chen."
"So the matter had to be said at that time. If I hadn't reported it that day, I might have been accused of being an accomplice of King Jing'an. By then I would have been even more passive."
"So, even though it was inappropriate at the time, I had to hand over these letters to His Majesty."
"So that's it." Duan Ming looked at Song Rengui's expression carefully, and the latter's expression didn't look like he was lying.
Moreover, such a big thing cannot be hidden. It only takes a little investigation to find out whether it is true or false.
"Commander Song, are you here deliberately to explain this matter?" Duan Ming asked.
"That's right." Song Rengui nodded: "I had expected that you would definitely come back, so I had arranged for people to guard the city gate. When I learned that you had arrived in Kyoto, I rushed here immediately."
"Why bother?" Duan Ming sighed: "Even if you don't say it, what can you do?"
"Mr. Duan, I'm afraid that the criminal commander won't be able to help you much with this matter." Song Rengui said in a deep voice: "That's why I came to you to clear up the misunderstanding, so as not to delay the official business."
"Business? Don't you doubt King Jing'an?" Duan Ming asked, "Could it be that those letters..."
"Those letters are all true." Song Rengui said: "I asked someone to specially identify them. There is no problem with either King Jing'an's handwriting or Yu Chen's handwriting."
"In this case, King Jing'an does not rule out the possibility of rebellion." Duan Ming said directly: "In this case, why did you..."
"We do not rule out the possibility that he may have rebelled, but we do not rule out the possibility that he may have been wronged." Song Rengui said directly: "If King Jing'an rebelled, the loss to Da Qi would be inestimable."
"Moreover, what happened this time was too coincidental. It was as if the coincidence was intentional to cause the death of King Jing'an."
"I don't know what other people think about such a coincidence, but I, Song Rengui, absolutely don't believe it."
"Furthermore, I have carefully read the letters between King Jing'an and Yu Chen. There are many things in them that are worth pondering, and some of the sentences are very strange."
Having said this, Song Rengui looked around, took out a few letters from his arms and handed them to Duan Ming: "These are three of the letters. I have kept them privately. Mr. Duan might as well take a look."
"Okay." Duan Ming took the letter without hesitation, but did not read it here, but put it in his arms.
"Okay, the matter has been explained clearly and the things have been given to you. I will leave first." Song Rengui said solemnly: "I'm afraid the criminal commander is coming too. It's not good for me to meet him at this time."
"Understood." Duan Ming nodded: "Commander Song, please pay attention to safety. They have not been very peaceful recently."
"Don't worry, this is not Linyang City." Song Rengui said solemnly: "If they want to touch me in the capital, they have to see if their necks are strong!"
Then Song Rengui left.
"Mr. Duan, who is this?" Zhucui asked in a low voice, "It looks pretty awesome."
"Awesome? Indeed." Duan Ming nodded: "He is the commander of the Imperial City Department in this capital, Song Rengui."
Then Duan Ming slowly stood up, stretched, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go."
"Let's go? Aren't you waiting for the commander?" Zhucui was stunned.
"Didn't you hear just now? Commander Song has already told us that Xing Qianqiu will be here soon!" Duan Ming said with a smile.
Duan Ming then paid the bill directly and walked downstairs with Zhu Cui.
Just when Duan Ming and Zhu Cui left the restaurant, Xing Qianqiu, Xu Shizhong and others happened to arrive.
Xing Qianqiu's face was extremely ugly. He came to Duan Ming and said solemnly: "Mr. Duan, didn't I not let you come?"
"Exactly." Duan understood and looked at Xing Qianqiu: "Do you think I am doing it for you? I am doing it for King Jing'an and Princess Wan'er. What does it have to do with you, Xing Qianqiu?"
"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore." Duan Ming waved his hand: "Let's go, tell me what happened..."
