Iron Hand was leading six thousand soldiers out of the city gate and slowly entered the city.
Downstairs of the majestic city gate, hundreds of soldiers responsible for defending the city were all captured, and each one of them was as dejected and trembling as a defeated rooster.
It wasn't that they didn't want to stop Zhenwusi's army from entering the city, it was because Iron Shou didn't give them any chance to speak and just came up and tied them up.
"Hong Qianhu, Cui Qianhu!"
Iron Hand stood on the street inside the city gate on horseback and shouted loudly.
"The official is here!" Hong Fei and Cui Shimao immediately stepped forward to respond.
"Seal the city gates in all directions and take over the guarding of the city walls. If there are any stubborn ones, kill them first and then report them!" Iron Hand ordered.
"Here!"
Hong Fei and Cui Shimao responded, and immediately led their soldiers onto the city wall and dispersed along the city wall to both sides.
Tie Shou took the remaining soldiers and horses and headed straight to Dusi Yamen.
…
Inside Dusi Yamen
Commander Li Zhengkun looked at the panicked subordinates in front of him with a solemn expression. He narrowed his eyes with a chilling light.
He had known about the attack on Qingsi Garden for a long time, even earlier than Tian Sixin.
At that time, his first reaction was to mobilize the patrol battalion to provide support.
But in the end, he found that the entire patrol battalion was patrolling the city, but there were no soldiers patrolling around Qingsi Garden.
By the time he mobilized the patrol battalion and arrived at Qingsi Garden, peace had returned to Qingsi Garden.
He did not knock on the door to inquire about the situation, but returned directly to Dusi Yamen.
Because he knew very well that someone from their Yamen was involved in this attack on Qingsi Garden.
So the first thing he did was to find out who was involved.
As a result, two or three hours have passed and he still has no clue.
"Liu Zhendong, tell me who arranged the inspection route last night!"
In the main hall, Li Zhengkun asked angrily to a middle-aged man.
Liu Zhendong is the commander of the patrol battalion. If there is a problem in the patrol battalion, he is the first person responsible.
Therefore, after returning to Dusi Yamen, Li Zhengkun directly asked the soldiers to kidnap Liu Zhendong.
At this time, Liu Zhendong was kneeling in the hall, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Sir, I really don't know that the general handed over the inspection task to two camp officers last night!"
As he spoke, he looked at the two camp officers who were also kneeling on the ground next to him.
"Sir, the route was obviously arranged by you, we are just following orders!"
The two camp officers were also anxious and without hesitation pushed the problem to Liu Zhendong's head.
Liu Zhendong was extremely angry and said: "After midnight yesterday, I returned to the mansion. When did I give you an order?"
"But after the order was made, your lord clearly gave us the order personally. Sir, you can't let us take the blame!" The two camp officers almost cried.
Liu Zhendong pointed at the two of them and was too angry to say a word.
Li Zhengkun's face was as dark as coke.
That's the problem!
From the time he returned to Dusi Yamen until now, he has been interrogating these three people, and even arrested all their followers and relatives, but it was of no use at all.
Because what Liu Zhendong said was not a lie, he did go back to the mansion directly after Dian Mao, and did not go to the patrol camp again after that.
However, the two camp officers saw Liu Zhendong again after that, and not only the two of them, but other officials and soldiers in the patrol camp also saw him.
Unless Liu Zhendong has the art of doppelgänger, it is absolutely impossible to appear in two places at the same time.
"Disguise!"
Li Zhengkun already understood in his heart.
This must be someone who disguised himself as Liu Zhendong and mobilized the patrol camp in Liu Zhendong's name.
But this result is not the result he wants most. He hopes that this is what Liu Zhendong did, and then he can just drag Liu Zhendong out to pay for the crime.
"Sir, the people from Zhenwu Division are here!"
While Li Zhengkun was interrogating, a soldier suddenly ran into the hall to report.
Li Zhengkun closed his eyes slightly, with a look of decadence on his face, and said, "What is supposed to come has come!"
…
Outside the gate of Qingsi Garden.
As soon as Qin Wei stepped onto the carriage, he met Tian Sixin and Ji Lin coming towards him.
"Meet His Highness the County King!"
The two men led a group of officials from the Chief Secretary and the Inspector General's Office to pay their respects.
Qin Wei was sitting in the carriage and did not show his face. He just said lightly: "You sirs are very free. Why don't you come to see me early in the morning?"
"Your Highness, I have something to ask for here!" Tian Sixin said in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Qin Wei asked.
"I hope Your Highness can take care of the people in Tianzhou City and not put hundreds of thousands of people in the city into danger." Tian Sixin replied.
In the carriage, the corners of Qin Wei's mouth were slightly raised.
"You are kind-hearted!"
"This is the duty of the lower official!" Tian Sixin lowered his head with a look of helplessness on his face.
He wanted to stop Qin Wei, but along the way, he found that he could not stop Qin Wei at all.
He can't control the Zhenwu Division, and Qin Wei, the Prince of Xin'an County, is beyond his control.
As for persuasion!
It's just a waste of saliva.
Therefore, now he can only pray that Qin Wei can restrain himself and not make things worse.
Qin Wei opened the curtain, glanced at the officials in front, and said: "Just in time, since you are here, go to Dusi Yamen with me!"
Afterwards.
The group of people marched towards Dusi Yamen in a mighty manner.
The once bustling Tianzhou City was now silent.
The news of the attack on Qingsi Garden spread throughout Tianzhou City early in the morning, and immediately after the Zhenwusi army entered the city, the people were so panicked that they hid in their homes and did not dare to go out.
They might be complaining about why Zhenwu Si came to Tianzhou City, or they might be complaining about those damn assassins, or they might even be complaining about Dusi Yamen and the patrol camp not protecting the safety of Tianzhou City.
But unfortunately, no one can hear their voices, and no one cares about their thoughts.
When Qin Wei came to Dusi Yamen, Iron Shou had already led a large army to surround Dusi Yamen.
All the officials in Dusi Yamen gathered in the front yard.
Li Zhengkun's eyes were slightly closed, and the old god was still standing under the eaves in front of the main hall, without saying a single unnecessary word.
"Meet His Highness the County King!"
After Qin Wei entered the Dusi Yamen, a group of officials paid their respects.
Qin Wei raised his head and looked at Li Zhengkun, who was standing at the back of the crowd.
"Master Li!"
"The official is here!"
"Have you checked it out?" Qin Wei shouted slowly as he walked, and the officials around him gave way.
Li Zhengkun said helplessly: "No."
Qin Wei was not surprised. If it was so easy to find out, then there would be no point in him engaging in such a big battle.
"Let's talk in the hall."
He entered the lobby of Dusi Yamen directly and sat on the main seat.
Then officials from the Dusi Yamen, the Chief Secretary, and the Inspection Department entered one after another, and the spacious and majestic lobby instantly became crowded.
Qin Wei looked at Li Zhengkun and said, "You should have noticed the problem with Dusi Yamen."
"The lower official is incompetent!" Li Zhengkun lowered his head.
"You didn't go to greet me yesterday?"
Suddenly, Qin Wei's words changed.
Li Zhengkun was startled, "Xiaguan was very busy yesterday."
"No, you just don't want to welcome me!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
Yesterday's reception out of the city was organized by Tian Sixin. All the officials from the Chief Secretary were here, and most of the officials from the Ancha Division were almost there. Ji Lin also showed up, but he left because of something in the middle. Only there was no one at Dusi Yamen.
.
Li Zhengkun remained silent!
"Before coming to Tianzhou, I made a special trip to see Senior Li Xun." Qin Wei said.
Li Zhengkun suddenly raised his head and stared at Qin Wei.
"Senior Li Xun gave me a man!" Qin Wei continued.
"Senior Mo Yan!"
he called softly.
As soon as the words fell, Mo Yan walked out from the corner.
"You should know Senior Mo Yan!"
Qin Wei looked at Li Zhengkun.
Li Zhengkun knelt on the ground, but the person he knelt down to was not Qin Wei but Mo Yan.
"Grandson pays homage to Grandpa Mo!"
According to the rules of the Li family, meeting Mo Yan is like meeting Li Xun.
Throughout Dali, the Li family headed by Li Xun was a very large family, especially Li Xun's direct descendants, many of whom held important positions in the court.
And Li Zhengkun is the eldest grandson of the Li family.
He is Li Xun's grandson and the uncle of that little girl Li Yan.
