Chapter 603: Qian Hong goes to the palace, Zhao Shen becomes furious
A new accident occurred, and everyone in the hall naturally fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for the guard to arrive and wanted to see what happened, so that His Majesty summoned him at this time.
Not long after, following the sound of slight footsteps, a chamberlain led a guard into the hall.
"The villain joins Qian Hong, the bodyguard of the Shen family in Li City, to join His Majesty!"
The person who came was none other than Qian Hong.
He first bowed deeply to Zhao Shen, and then bowed distantly to Shen Tang!
"Tell me, what happened in Lianli City."
Without waiting for others to speak, Zhao Shen asked in a cold voice.
Seeing this, Qian Hong did not hesitate and said directly, "Your Majesty, three days ago, hundreds of golden men and horse bandits broke into Lianli City in the dark of night.
First they looted money in two cities, and then they attacked Shen's mansion with open fire."
"In order to ensure the safety of the Shen Mansion, the villain and other guards fought with the horse bandit.
In the end, they not only defeated these horse bandits, but also captured more than a hundred horse bandits and their leader! After being tortured by the villain, the villain discovered that this incident was not a coincidence, but someone secretly instigated all the bandits. for."
"What!"
Zhao Shen frowned. In fact, in troubled times, it is not something special for some horse bandits or powerful men to attack the county.
However, Lianli City is different from other cities. Once trouble occurs, it will be a big deal.
At least, the Northern Kingdom of Jin would definitely watch the excitement of the Song Dynasty.
Now, Lianli City has finally returned to the Song Dynasty. If the gangsters cause trouble, the face of the Song Dynasty will be completely lost.
Furthermore, Lianli City is the territory of the Song Dynasty anyway, and now someone is secretly colluding with gangsters to rob Lianli City. They are simply seeking death!
Qian Hong's words caused everyone in the court to talk about it! This matter is not big or small, but the reason why Lianli City is special is that it is the designated trading place between Song and Jin countries. In addition, it was also because this small town attracted the attention of the Song and Jin countries. Even the emperors of the two countries paid great attention to this small town.
Fortunately, the guards of the Shen Mansion are strong, otherwise, it might be difficult to end the matter.
"Tell me, who is this great person who dares to challenge the dignity of the Song Dynasty? He simply doesn't know how to live or die!"
Zhao Shen said angrily.
Qian Hong saluted again, and then said respectfully, "After interrogation by the villain and others, these gangsters actually do not know the inside story of Lianli City.
However, he contacted a man named Geng Zhong, and it was Geng Zhong who informed the horse bandits about the inside story of Lian Licheng.
Even, in the dark night, it was Geng Zhong who quietly opened the city gate, leaving Lianli City defenseless. Although the bandits were defeated in the end, the east and west cities suffered great losses."
"Who is this Geng Zhong!"
Zhao Shen asked in a cold voice.
After a slight hesitation, Qian Hong said, "Your Majesty, Geng Zhong is the servant of Geng Wang, the new magistrate of Lianli City!"
A magistrate of a county who was entrusted by the imperial court and appointed an official by the imperial court, just did not protect the land and bring peace to the people. Instead, he secretly colluded with bandits to plunder his own territory. What a bad thing is this?
If word spreads, Zhao Shen will be completely disgraced.
Reluctantly suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhao Shen asked again, "Is there any damage to Shen's house?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring about the safety of my Shen residence.
However, thanks to Your Majesty’s great blessing, our Shen Mansion guards injured more than thirty people, my wife was slightly frightened, and Miss Zhao Ling was slightly injured..."
Zhao Shen just frowned at the first few words, but when he heard Qian Hong's last words, Zhao Shen's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up from the dragon chair!
Although the expressions of all the courtiers were different, they did not know who Zhao Ling was.
After all, Zhao Ling is usually called Princess Guangling, but her real name is rarely called.
Moreover, in the eyes of the ministers, the Princess of Guangling certainly never left the house in Lin'an City. They never imagined that just a few months ago, Zhao Ling had quietly left Lin'an and went to Lianli. In the city.
However, these adults don't know the reason.
However, Zhao Shen knew everything clearly.
In this Shen Mansion, apart from my own sister named Zhao Ling, who else could have this name?
My precious sister, who has always been held in my hands, is now injured?
Or was he injured by gangsters?
Zhao Shen had long ignored any minor injuries.
In his opinion, even if a hair falls out, it is a big deal.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Shen slapped the dragon case hard with his palm.
Later, Zhao Shen shouted sternly, "What you said is true!"
Qian Hong said without hesitation, "Your Majesty, everything the villain said is true. If there is anything wrong with it, your Majesty, please behead the villain and show it to the public."
"In addition, all the bandits and bandit leaders, including Geng Zhong, have been captured by the villain.
Now, they are outside the palace. Your Majesty can send someone to interrogate them and you will know."
Qian Hong continued.
"Originally, the villain wanted to capture Geng Wang together.
However, that Geng Wang is the magistrate who accepts the imperial court's fate, and the villain dare not take action without permission, so at this moment he is still in Lianli City."
"Shi Hao!"
Zhao Shen ignored Qian Hong and shouted at Shi Hao, "I'll give you half an hour. You should go interrogate these people immediately and find out the matter. If there is the slightest mistake, you can come to see them." Bar."
"My lord, take your orders!"
Feeling Zhao Shen's anger, Shi Hao certainly didn't dare to neglect him.
Immediately, he hurriedly left the hall and walked outside the palace.
"Wang Quan, you go too!"
Zhao Shen said again.
Wang Quan bowed and hurriedly followed Shi Hao.
After the two left, the hall became quiet.
On the dragon chair, Zhao Shen looked sternly but said nothing.
Although everyone present had many doubts, no one raised any questions when facing the angry Zhao Shen.
So, a group of people were waiting for Shi Hao and his wife to return in this main hall.
Half an hour passed in a hurry, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, Shi Hao and Wang Quan returned hand in hand.
"Have you asked clearly?"
Zhao Shen asked quickly.
Shi Hao nodded, "Your Majesty, after interrogation by Mr. Wang and I, there is nothing false about what the guards of the Shen Mansion said."
Afterwards, Shi Hao told Zhao Shen what he had asked about.
"Wang Quan, do you have anything to add?"
Zhao Shen asked Wang Quan.
Wang Quan looked solemn. When Zhao Shen asked, he respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, these gangsters are so vicious. Moreover, the order Geng Zhong told them was to kill everyone in Shen's mansion. This is an unforgivable crime. Your Majesty, please punish me severely."
