Tang Zhao was moved in his heart and asked: "Is it possible for me to pay my respects to you if I want to?"
For Yunzhou, Marquis Gaoyuan is far more desirable than the imperial court. This is true as the saying goes, "I only know that there are princes, but I don't know that there is an emperor."
In a time of peace and prosperity or when a hero was in power, such a figure would have found an excuse to be destroyed. But now the central government is powerless and the localities are out of control. More than half of the world listens to the princes from all over the country, and the court cannot control it. Gao Yuanhou is not a special case, but there are many
There are only two local princes who can make decisions.
At least the Yunzhou District Prosecution Department is directly responsible to the monarch and can be said to be a pro-military force. As a member of the District Prosecution Department, Tang Zhao has been somewhat influenced by it and naturally has a longing for the monarch. What's more, he can meet Gao Yuanhou.
It will also be of great benefit to the future.
The inspector said: "Of course ordinary people cannot visit at will, but you must be able to. The Lord has heard of your name. If you want to go, I will report it in front of the Lord. When Deputy Mai reports to the Lord, you will follow.
Register your name in front of the Lord, and everything will be easy to handle in the future. When the deputy envoy wants to transfer you to Zhaocheng, he will take action."
Tang Zhao was startled, and Mai Shiyu smiled and said: "Xiao Tang was sent by the District Inspectorate to Zhuoyu Villa to learn sword making. He will come back when he is successful in his studies. There will naturally be a position for him by then, but I may not be able to grab it.
"
The inspector smiled and said: "A swordsmith? That's a good thing, so I want to grab it. This time Old Feng retreats, the deputy envoy will definitely be able to take a step forward. If you want to be an upright envoy, you must have a few capable people under you."
.Those who are closer to the water get the moon first. If you keep the soup for Haocheng, you will also keep the soup for our Riyang County. Wouldn't that be a great thing?"
It suddenly dawned on Tang Zhao that Deputy Ambassador Mai returned to the state not only to report on the invasion of the turtle bandits, but also to be promoted to a garrison envoy. After all, although Feng Zhilie had saved his life, he was obviously not suitable to be a garrison envoy, right?
If Mai Shiyu is sure that he has merits and demerits this time, then he can naturally take over as the guardian envoy. The guardian envoy in his twenties is younger than Xing Ji at that time.
Tang Zhao is now learning to make swords. If he succeeds in his studies in the future, he will probably not return to the normal rank of inspector. However, if there is an internship period and he first works in a place, Mai Shiyu's place is also a good choice. Of course, he will still wait for his sentence.
Very open.
At this time, I heard the inspector say: "It just so happens that this guy Xingji won't rob you..."
Tang Zhao was stunned and blurted out: "What's wrong, Mr. Xing...?"
The last time he and Xing Ji communicated was a few months ago. At that time, he only knew that he had a mission. It seemed to be very secret and he was cautious in every word. He didn't ask too many questions. At this time, when he heard the inspector mention it, he seemed to have something wrong.
Hey, my heart sank.
The inspector didn't care about his sudden words, and said to Tang Zhao and Mai Shiyu: "It's a strange thing to say. Xing Ji, this kid didn't know what the reason was, and suddenly killed a prison envoy without permission. This is the end of it.
Yes? The Prison Control Department is also a branch of the Prosecution Department. Now we are on equal footing with us, how can we kill without permission? The Prison Control Department immediately came to question us and almost started a fight."
Tang Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and Mai Shiyu heard it for the first time and blurted out: "Is it Jie Crow?"
The inspector said: "Exactly, have you also heard the news?"
Mai Shiyu sighed: "I don't know about the affairs in Jingli. Guard...Senior Xing once confirmed Jie Crow's information with me. I also felt strange at the time. I didn't expect him to actually take action?"
Tang Zhao was shocked and remembered what he and Xingji had seen when they were in Lihuo Hell.
At that time Xing Ji and Jie Ya were still very good friends.
Could it be said that their breakup was caused by one of his words?
It can't be said to be a sentence, but an introduction. Three years have passed since that sentence, and Xing Ji took action. Tang Zhao speculated that he must have verified through various means and confirmed that Jie Ya had indeed colluded with human traffickers and was an invisible person.
The trick was finally done.
He hurriedly asked: "What happened next? How was he?"
The inspector said: "Actually, I've heard about this too. Anyway, it's impossible for our Prosecution Department to hand over one of our own people to the Prison Department. It's said that Xing Ji has evidence of guilt, but that's useless. It's said that you killed Po Tian on your own initiative.
It was impossible for the Prison Secretary to recognize him. The two sides went back and forth for a long time. Later, the monarch personally intervened, separated the two sides, and then brought him up for questioning. The final decision was: Jie Ya deserved the crime, but the extreme punishment was to lynch the murderer.
It is also illegal to take off the official uniform of the District Procuratorate and demote him to a commoner."
Tang Zhao was dejected, sad and relieved - as long as everything is fine, if you don't want to be an official... then you won't be an official.
Mai Shiyu said in bewilderment: "Why is this so? Since there is evidence, if you arrest someone, you will be punished with a canon, so why do you want to kill someone by lynching? That's not what he said when he taught us."
The inspector lowered his voice and said: "I heard here... I heard nothing! Now there are rumors flying all over there, and the prison officer is almost making up stories. If you are familiar with him, ask him yourself.
He is at Zhongtian Mansion. You can see him when you go to visit the Lord."
Mai Shiyu asked in surprise: "He is still in Zhongtian Mansion? Hasn't he returned to his place of origin?" Logically speaking, after being deprived of his official position, he should return to his place of origin.
The inspector said: "So the prison chief is not satisfied. Although the prince dealt with him, he asked him to stay in Zhoucheng and did not ask him to go back to his hometown to have a leisurely meal. Then he must have the intention to use him. Putting it under the eyes of the prince is also
This will prevent anyone from causing trouble for him. After the limelight has passed, there are still arrangements, but he probably won’t go back to inspect the district department, right?"
Tang Zhao nodded, feeling slightly disappointed. Xing Ji was not in the Prosecution Department, so he always felt that he had lost something.
I happened to go to Zhongtian Mansion to meet the boss. They hadn't seen each other for about three years.
After chatting for a while, the inspector was busy with business, so he and Deputy Inspector Mai split up to inspect along the city wall.
Mai Shiyu wanted to send Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi back to rest, but Tang Zhao knew that the manpower was still insufficient at this time. The inspector was a swordsman, so he came very quickly, but there was only one person, and the manpower in the city was still insufficient. He still needed to try his best, Mai
Shigure was not too polite and asked them to join the mobile patrol of the city.
Before leaving, Mai Shiyu called Tang Zhao over again and asked, "Do you want to go to Zhongtian Mansion?"
Tang Zhao said: "I want to go."
Not only to pay homage to Marquis Gao Yuan, but also to visit Xingji, one should also pay a visit to Zhongtian Mansion.
He added: "But I have been away from the mountain gate for a long time, so I have to go back to the mountain to explain something. My senior brother also wants to go back to the mountain. This is a matter for the district inspection department. I can go alone." He came out for a long time.
In fact, it has greatly exceeded expectations. It takes some time to come and go from Zhongtian Mansion, and there are many things over Jiugao Mountain, and he has to rush back to deal with them.
Mai Shiyu said: "Okay, let's take care of things here. You should hurry back first, and then meet me at Zhongtian Mansion at the end of the month. We will arrive at Zhongtian Mansion with Mr. Zhang Rong and the others."
Tang Zhao nodded and asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you also going to Zhongtian Mansion?"
Mai Shiyu said: "Of course. But he didn't come to report his work like us. After we reported it, the monarch personally paid homage and sent an envoy to invite him to the prince's mansion for a briefing. This is because Mr. Zhang is good at Tianyan.
This matter should not be made public, otherwise the prince may come to visit him personally."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang is worth it."
Mai Shiyu said: "There is also the guardian envoy... Feng Zhenzheng. He also has to return to Zhongtian. His situation is even more special and he has to report to the king personally. According to his wishes, he will also retire after this matter is over.
.”
Tang Zhao's heart moved, and he thought to himself: If Mr. Xing and Lao Feng were invited to live in seclusion at Zhuoyu Villa, away from right and wrong, wouldn't they be free and at ease? With the addition of Turtle Master, Zhu Yang, Jiugao Mountain can be regarded as a gathering of "heroes"
.
After making an agreement with Mai Shiyu, Tang Zhao went on patrol again. Jiang Shenyi had nothing to do, so he followed him around the city.
After a day of patrolling like this, no accidents occurred.
A few days later, the scouts from outside the city came back one after another, bringing various news. They found several turtle bandit strongholds, but they were all empty. The turtle bandits missed a single hit and went underground again. But this time
Next time, the Yunzhou government will not treat it as nothing, but will dig deep into the ground to catch all the fish that have slipped through the net.
This thunderous operation will probably start soon, or it may have already started. Tang Zhao cannot know. He only knows that the scouts reported that the garrison of Riyang County has reached the north of the city and will arrive at Zhaocheng tomorrow.
"That means we can go back tomorrow?" That night, the two of them shared the news in the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying. Jiang Shenyi was very happy and poured a glass of fruit wine.
Tang Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's right. The large-scale inspections in Zhaocheng in the past few days have come to an end. It is said that no internal agents of the turtle bandits have been caught, and it will not take a day or two to dig deeper. This matter
We have to stop the matter first, and the next step is to go to Zhongtian Mansion to listen to the Lord’s arrangements. If we hurry, we can set off back to the mountain tomorrow!"
Jiang Shenyi said happily: "Great! I've been out for too long and I miss home. Then go to Zhongtian Mansion by yourself. I don't want to travel far away."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Senior brother, if you say this now, he might be clamoring to come with me in a few days..."
At this moment, I heard a fluttering sound in the night sky, and a shadow flew down.
It's an owl.
Jiang Shenyi said: "Is your owl here to send a message?"
Tang Zhao's face darkened, he patted his animal bag and said: "It's not my owl. It's not the one that senior sister often uses. This owl looks familiar..."
Whose is it from?
The owl was looking for him. It headed straight for him and landed on his shoulder. It stretched out its feet with bamboo tubes tied to them. Tang Zhao took off the bamboo tube, but the owl did not leave. Instead, it landed on the stone table in the courtyard. Tang Zhao took off the bamboo tube.
Zhao only thought that it was hungry, so he went into the house and brought out some water and meat to treat it.
As soon as he put it down, he heard the sound of wings again. When Tang Zhao looked up, he saw another owl flying towards him.
This one...he knows it!
Tang Zhao panicked for no reason, and Jiang Shenyi also recognized it and said with a smile: "Senior Sister's owl this time? What's going on today? Are you sending messages one after another?"
After taking off the letter from the owl's feet, Jiang Shenyi only glanced at it and stopped breathing.
Tang Zhao heard something strange in the voice, so he rushed over and asked, "What?"
Jiang Shenyi handed him the note in his hand dully. Under the moonlight, he could see that his face was ashen. He suddenly stretched out his hand and swept the wine glasses and bottles off the table, causing them to shatter on the floor.
Tang Zhao's heart was filled with ominous thoughts. He took the thin piece of paper and read a few big words:
