This time, no one stopped him while flying in the air.
The reason was naturally the two father-in-laws who led the way.
Recognizing their guard leader from afar, he saluted from afar.
However, the two father-in-laws acted as if they had not seen each other and paid no attention to them at all.
A group of people followed them into Jingzhou in a mighty manner.
Jingzhou is divided into four urban areas.
They moved forward and soon passed through the outer city, arrived at the inner city, and flew some distance again.
The two princesses moved down and said to Sun Yu and others behind them:
"Okay, we are about to enter the imperial city. You guys should behave yourself, okay?"
"clear!"
Everyone looked at the continuous city wall in front of them, which was as high as three people, and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go."
The two father-in-laws walked forward and soon arrived outside a huge city gate.
The guards here are much more serious than before.
They first stopped everyone and only let them go after confirming that they were the two father-in-laws.
The Imperial City can be said to be the core area of Jingzhou.
Its most central location is the Forbidden City, the residence of emperors of all dynasties.
On its periphery, there are mostly places where princes, ministers and royal families live.
In addition, some important institutions of the imperial court were also arranged here and were protected by heavy troops.
"You go and report to Eunuch Wei first, and I will take them to the Ministry of Punishment."
"good."
The prince nodded and left.
Eunuch Zhang took Sun Yu and the others to the other side.
The Imperial City is very large, but compared to the inner and outer cities, it is much quieter.
Although there are some shops, most of them are extremely luxurious and large stores, and there are no stalls or hawking activities around.
Pedestrians on the road are also very particular about their clothing.
Occasionally, one or two people walked by, and even Eunuch Zhang had to stop and bow.
The other party just nodded slightly as a greeting.
Soon, Sun Yu saw a seven-story hanging turret.
There is a huge plaque hanging on it, with the word "official department" written in flying colors.
Before they even got close, a man in official uniform quickly came forward to greet them.
The other person looked young, Sun Yu estimated that he was in his thirties or forties, but his hair was a bit gray.
"Eunuch Zhang! You are finally here. As soon as the official heard that you arrived in Jingzhou, he waited here early!"
The man had a smile on his face and waved his hand, and someone immediately brought a basket of fresh fruits:
"Father, would you like to try it? I heard that you like to eat berries from Qiuyu Mountain. I specially sent someone to pick them this morning."
"oh?"
Eunuch Zhang, who had always had a cold face, suddenly beamed with joy, reached out and took a piece of fruit from the basket and put it into his mouth.
After he finished swallowing, he said:
"Haha, Master Yan Kai is really interested."
"No, no! This is what a lower official should do!"
Yan Kai bowed and smiled, then suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Sun Yu and others:
"These are the black guards who are related to the death of King Qiyang this time?"
"Yes, I will leave the person to you, and the previous transcripts are also included, so I will give them to you as well."
"That's very good. Sir, thank you for taking the trouble."
"Um."
After the handover was completed, Eunuch Zhang stopped staying and turned to leave.
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
Yan Kai immediately gave the others a look.
The man holding the fruit followed without saying a word with a basket of berries...
"Come here, take these people to the prison and wait for trial."
Facing Sun Yu and others, the smile on Yan Kai's face disappeared.
With a cold face, he looked as if everyone owed him millions.
Following his emotionless words, a pair of guards soon came out and escorted everyone inside.
Although their Qi was not sealed, they did not dare to resist, so they just followed and left.
After walking a little further, Ji Liangyong asked curiously:
"Do you know who that person is?"
Sun Yu shook his head.
He basically didn't know these North Korean and Chinese officials.
And others don't know either.
One of the guards who was escorting them saw that they were wearing black guard uniforms and very cooperative, so he said:
"Why, you don't even know our Minister of Civil Affairs?"
Ji Liangyong said in surprise:
"He is the Minister of Libu? Isn't it right? Why do I remember that the Minister of Libu is a rather old Lord He?"
"Haha, you are a bit behind on the news." The guard smiled and said:
"Master He has retired a long time ago. This is Master Yan who has just taken office for two months."
"No wonder, I said."
A group of people were quickly sent to prison.
After waiting for a while, the officials' inquiries began.
This time, Sun Yu was the first to be called out.
However, what surprised him was that the place of interrogation was not in the dungeon, but in a garden of the Ministry of Officials.
There is a small bridge and flowing water here, full of greenery, and there is a stone table in the middle.
Yan Kai, the Minister of Civil Service, whom he had met before, was sitting next to him at the moment, holding a cup of tea and drinking it quietly.
"Go there by yourself, the adults are waiting for you."
The guard pushed Sun Yu and stood there waiting.
Although Sun Yu was a little strange, he still walked to the stone table and saluted:
"See my lord."
"No gift." Yan Kai put down the tea cup and said pleasantly:
"Your name is Sun Yu, right?"
Sun Yu nodded and responded:
"Exactly."
"Yes, he is indeed young and promising. No wonder the Dingyuan Guild specially sent someone to greet me."
Yan Kai smiled slightly and pointed to the stone chair next to him: "Sit."
"Thank you, sir."
Sun Yu sat down aside and understood a little bit in his heart.
The reason why the Minister of Civil Affairs was so polite to him was entirely due to He Kaishan.
"No need to be so nervous." Yan Kai poured him a cup of tea and continued:
"Just like chatting with friends, let's talk about what happened in the death of King Qiyang. Although the two father-in-laws have already asked me, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, I still have to confirm some things myself."
Sun Yu expressed his understanding and explained in detail what happened in Luoyang City from the beginning.
Yan Kai took out the transcript given to him by Eunuch Zhang and read and listened to it.
There was another person not far away recording their conversation.
After Sun Yu finished speaking, Yan Kai touched his smooth and beardless chin and said:
"You mean that it was not you who killed King Qiyang in the end, but a Sky-breaking Realm master who originally took refuge with him?"
"Exactly."
"Is this the person?" Yan Kai lifted the note in his hand and revealed a portrait.
The picture above is exactly what Sun Yu asked someone to draw for Lening.
"Yes, that's him."
"Le Ning..." Yan Kai frowned slightly and tapped the table lightly with his finger:
"Why did he suddenly betray? Did he say anything else during the attack?"
"I didn't say anything. That Lening is extremely powerful and can kill with one strike."
"Um……"
Yan Kai pondered for a while, stopped dwelling on this issue, and asked something:
"The reason why you chose to lead troops to Qiyang Prince's Mansion is because the other party did not respect the Tiger Talisman, so you plan to ask for an explanation?"
"Exactly."
Sun Yu nodded again.
This was one of the arguments they had prepared after discussing with Hong Zheng and Wei Wutian.
It doesn't sound like that much of a sin.
Otherwise, according to their original true thoughts, they directly said that they planned to kill King Qiyang to prevent the other party from blocking the front line.
Then this sin is really serious.
It is estimated that the two father-in-laws will kill them all at that time.
"Okay, I understand."
Yan Kai closed the note, nodded at Sun Yu and said:
"Since Duke Dingyuan has come to say hello, you don't need to go back to Tianlao.
But it’s a bit against the rules to let you out now. Let’s do this. I still have some guest rooms in the staff department. You can stay here temporarily and wait until the higher-ups give the order to let you go before you leave.”
"Thank you, sir!" Sun Yu did not refuse.
A cell is just a cell, even if it has the word "天" on it, he will stay in that smelly and dirty environment as long as he can.
Who wants to wrong themselves for no reason?
Soon someone brought Sun Yu to the guest room.
The environment was much better than before, with all the furniture available. Yan Kai even thoughtfully asked someone to boil a bucket of hot water for him in advance.
After a tiring journey, I just wanted to take a bath and relax.
After taking off his clothes, Sun Yu entered the large wooden barrel and let his body be immersed in hot water.
"Comfortable……"
He leaned against the edge of the barrel and slowly relaxed himself.
But after just soaking for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"who?"
"Dare I ask Mr. Sun Yusun if he is inside?"
A slightly old voice suddenly sounded.
Sun Yu frowned slightly, he had no impression of this voice.
"Hold on!"
After replying, he immediately came out of the barrel and used his true energy to dry the moisture on his body.
After putting on a change of clothes that had been prepared long ago, he opened the door.
Outside the door is an old man with a slightly hunched back, but he is very energetic. Although the color of his clothes is simple, it is obviously made of extraordinary materials and expensive.
"May I ask who you are?"
Sun Yu said with some confusion.
He didn't remember any interaction between him and the other party.
"Haha, I am the old housekeeper of Duke Dingyuan's house. Master Sun, just call me Lao Zhou."
Sent by He Kaishan!
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhou!"
Sun Yu was polite, but the other party waved his hands and said:
"Master Sun can't help me. I don't have any official position. I really don't dare to be called "sir." So you should call me Lao Zhou!"
Seeing his persistence, Sun Yu could only agree.
He invited the other party into the room and asked:
"By the way, Lao Zhou, Lao He... cough, Duke Dingyuan, why did he ask you to come to me?"
"Is such that."
The housekeeper Lao Zhou looked at Sun Yu and said with a smile:
"Dingyuan Gong asked me to come here to inform you that there is no need to worry about King Qiyang's affairs. It is just a routine matter. You only need to stay here quietly for a while, and you will be released naturally."
"I see."
Sun Yu nodded in response.
It turned out that He Kaishan was afraid that he would lose his temper, so he came over in advance to say hello.
"Cough." Lao Zhou moistened his throat and continued:
"The other thing is that Duke Dingyuan was afraid that you would be acclimatized when you first arrived, so he asked me to tell you. If you need any help, just ask."
"needs?"
Sun Yu was stunned, but He Kaishan was being polite.
He wanted to refuse, but then he thought that he might have to stay in this department for a while, and the number of simulations on his body was almost used up.
If you practice alone, the speed is too slow and the efficiency is too low!
"I need some Five Elements Stone."
Sun Yu said unceremoniously.
"Perfect Five Elements Stone? How many are needed?"
"Just the ordinary ones, the more the better."
"I understand," Lao Zhou nodded:
"Is there anything else you need?"
"Gone."
"Well, sir, please wait here with peace of mind. I will have someone bring it to you in the afternoon."
"Thank you."
Old Zhou came and went quickly.
As soon as the matter was finished, I left here in a hurry.
Sun Yu glanced at the steaming barrel and shook his head.
After being interrupted just now, he had no intention of continuing and instead sat on the bed and started practicing.
…
"Eunuch Zhang, what's going on? This is not what we agreed at the beginning!"
Lu Qiguang, the prince's tutor, found Eunuch Zhang in the palace.
He had just heard that the group of criminals related to the death of King Qiyang, not one of them dead, had arrived in Jingzhou.
But none of the people he sent to intercept him came back.
Eunuch Zhang glanced at him and snorted coldly:
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask me? What kind of rubbish did you send? I have tried my best to cooperate with you, but the result? I was killed by those guys."
"How can this be……"
Lu Qiguang was stunned.
He had already calculated the opponent's strength before sending people. Logically speaking, he should be able to eat it!
"What about Qian Wen? He is only one step away from the Sky-Breaking Realm. How could he die in the hands of those guys?"
Lu Qiguang's tone was unhappy and he looked at the other party with a suspicious look on his face.
"Qian Wen?"
Eunuch Zhang was already prepared, without showing any flaws on his face, he thought for a while and said:
"Are you talking about the one who took the lead? That person seemed to have been killed by a master who followed us."
"What? Master?" Lu Qiguang was even more confused.
"Yeah." Eunuch Zhang nodded and said with a smile:
"Teacher Lu, don't you know that there is a junior among these people who is specially cared for by Duke Dingyuan?"
Lu Qiguang had a sullen face and said nothing. He already knew this before sending anyone.
But he doesn't care. If we talk about juniors, all the young black guards can be said to be Dingyuan Gong's juniors.
It doesn't matter if one or two of these people are killed.
I just didn’t expect that this one happened to be one that Ding Yuan Gong particularly valued...
Eunuch Zhang ignored his expression and continued to talk to himself:
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't realize it until the other party took action. The master is really a master..."
"Yeah?"
The corners of Lu Qiguang's mouth twitched slightly.
This eunuch named Zhang has the strength of the seventh level.
The master who can make him unable to react or notice is at least the fifth level of Sky Breaking or above.
Dingyuan Guild sends such a person to protect a so-called junior?
Lu Qiguang didn't believe it, unless that person was his grandson!
However, now that the eunuch said so, he could only believe it.
Of course it doesn't matter if he offends this guy named Zhang, but the eunuch Wei Xuan behind him is not easy to deal with. He needs to think about the overall situation for the prince and the overall situation...
"Thank you for your help, father-in-law. The benefits promised before will be given to you soon."
"Oh, why are you so embarrassed? I obviously didn't help you with anything..."
Eunuch Zhang had a smile on his face and showed no sign of rejection.
"It should."
Lu Qiguang suppressed his anger, smiled, cupped his hands, and left with a puff of sleeves.
As soon as he turned around, his face turned completely cold.
"Master? Bullshit master!
The dead eunuch, after receiving the benefits, dared to violate the law!
Huh, forget it, since you can't kill these guys outside, then let's do it again in Jingzhou.
They should be detained in the Ministry of Civil Affairs now, right?
The Ministry of Personnel... If I remember correctly, Yan Kai, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is an interesting person..."
