Playing with fire is easy to set yourself on fire! 5
Although Zhou Zhengren was not very courageous and was not an upright official, he still had some insights into matters in the officialdom.
When he heard Mo Li mention the Marquis of Zhenbei before, he naturally regarded the Marquis as Mo Li's backer. Now that he had no other option, he simply gritted his teeth and boarded Mo Li's "thief ship".
Ignoring the injuries on his body, he quickly mounted his horse and rushed to the house of his immediate superior, the Governor of Chang'an.
At this time, Mo Li had already kicked his unconscious subordinate awake on the ground, gave him a few instructions, and told him to return to Tianshui Street immediately and ordered Xu Zixiao to bring someone over.
A moment later, when Zhou Zhengren rushed over with the governor of Chang'an and a group of government officials, Xu Zixiao had already arrived with Lin Niu and about ten other key members.
So, people from the government stayed to guard the scene, and the "injured" Mo Li was helped into the carriage by Xu Zixiao and others and returned to Tianshui Street.
There were not only military crossbows but also people suspected of being religious. This matter was naturally unusual. Song Wenqing, the eunuch of Chang'an Prefecture, immediately stopped and left Zhou Shiren and others to take care of the scene. He rushed to the palace to report the matter in person.
Soon, the news spread and reached the ears of important people.
Ming Yihui, the king of the Ming Dynasty who had just fallen asleep, heard about this and was immediately furious. He immediately sent out the Royal Forest Army to take all the corpses on the street back to the palace for inspection.
When Zhou Zhengren returned to his house, he didn't feel at ease. He simply treated the wound and rushed to the Meixiang Theater in person. He said he was inspecting the wound, but in fact he wanted to talk to her again.
When Mo Li made this decision, he had already thought through the consequences clearly. When he heard that Zhou Zhengren was visiting, he immediately asked Xu Zixiao to take him to the small hall on the fourth floor.
Xu Zixiao personally watched the wind outside the door, and Mo Li picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.
"My lord, just follow what Mo Li taught you and report to the emperor the truth. Just keep it in your heart. After tomorrow, your official position must be promoted!"
Then, she refused to say another word, and Zhou Zhengren had no choice but to return to his house.
==================================
Royal Palace.
Royal study room.
Li Yong, the president of the Royal Forest Army, strode into the door and handed the two things he was holding in front of Ming Yihui, "Your Majesty, I have carefully checked that these crossbows are indeed military heavy crossbows. The dead Xuan Master can
It’s a divine robe, and it also has the badge of the Divine Judgment Temple on it, please check it, Your Majesty!”
Ming Yihui's eyes passed over the heavy military crossbow in his hand and fell on the blood jade waist plate, and a chill suddenly appeared in his eyes.
For so many years, the Divine Religion has been committed to suppressing his authority as the emperor. Naturally, Ming Yihui did not have a good impression of the Divine Religion. It was only because of the other party's powerful power that he did not break up with him.
Now, the divine sect dared to make such a big fuss in the imperial capital, how could he not be angry?!
"Everyone is here?!"
Holding the blood jade waist plate, Ming Yihui asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the emperor, several ministers have arrived!" Li Yong responded respectfully.
"This waist badge cannot be disclosed to the outside world yet!" Ming Yihui stuffed the blood jade waist badge into his sleeve, grabbed the military heavy crossbow from his hand, and strode out of the side hall next to the imperial study.
Several military and criminal ministers who were pulled out from their warm beds immediately bowed to the ground and saluted when they saw him.
Smashing the military crossbow in his hand to the ground, Ming Yihui looked majestically at the people kneeling in front of him, "The weapons I spent money to make appear in the hands of assassins, how do you explain it?!"
