Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy Two: On Official Business
A man suddenly rushed past Tang Chen and entered the East Palace. It seemed that he was going to report a message to the prince. Zhou Xun glanced at Tang Chen and walked into the East Palace. Those who intercepted him had no intention of letting him see the token.
Entering, Zhou Xun directly chopped the two men and shouted: "Zhou Xun, the official of the law, is here to arrest the prince and investigate!"
Now things get really interesting. Judging from Zhou Xun's attitude, he is definitely not the paper tiger that Tang Chen thought before.
The prince brought people out and saw Zhou Xun coming over so aggressively. There were soldiers nearby shouting: "Zhou Xun, I think you don't want to live anymore. How dare you come in casually in my East Palace?"
Zhou Xun said: "I am in the legal department and have the power to supervise the prince. Now someone has reported that the prince has robbed the army rations privately. Please ask the prince to come with me!"
Zhongshu Ling came out and looked at Zhou Xun and said: "Zhou Xun, the emperor is in trouble now. The prince oversees the country. I'm afraid you can't take him away. Otherwise, you may be able to wait and come here again when the emperor wakes up."
Zhou Xun said: "It is not the emperor who appointed you to supervise the country. It is okay to supervise the country. The prince has committed a great crime. I must take him back to investigate now. No one can stop him!"
As soon as the prince clapped his hands, a group of men in black with masks came out and immediately surrounded Zhou Xun and the others. Zhou Xun looked at those people and then at the army behind him and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the army left by the emperor is
To prevent what happened today."
The prince smiled and said: "Zhou Xun, if you want to take me away, you must first see what these people are capable of."
Zhou Xun nodded and said: "Seize the crown prince, and those who stand in the way will be killed without mercy!"
The two people walked towards the prince, and the people around them rushed up in an instant. Zhou Xun's army was naturally not a vegetarian. Each one had the strength of one to ten. Soon all the prince's people were arrested. Zhou Xun looked towards
The prince said: "Prince, you'd better come with me!"
The prince was now frightened and looked at Zhongshu Ling. A cunning smile appeared on Zhongshu Ling's face and said: "Master Zhou, we are all officials in the same dynasty. I think you should know the current situation. No."
Thinking about how you can be so stubborn, do you think it will be of any use if you really capture the prince?"
Zhou Xun said: "I am responsible for Zhongshu Ling, so don't stop me!"
Zhong Shuling said: "If I don't let you take this man away, will you kill me?"
"Of course not!" Zhou Xun said: "You are an official of the imperial court and I certainly don't have this right!"
"It's good that you know." Zhong Shuling said with a smile: "Listen Zhou Xun, you can't take anyone with you today."
At this time, a figure slowly walked in from the outside, looked inside and said, "Mr. Zhou, thank you for taking someone to find me."
The faces of the prince and Zhong Shuling turned a little ugly at the same time: "Zhang Zheng! Why are you here!"
Zhang Zheng said: "Master Zhou said that there are some things here that need me to cooperate with him, so I came here. Master Zhou, tell me what's going on?"
"Someone reported that the prince had hijacked military rations. I came to arrest the prince, but Zhongshu Ling stopped me from taking the prince away. This matter is the responsibility of your Criminal Department and I hope you can handle it."
Zhang Zheng said: "Well, in that case, if Zhongshu orders you to interfere with Fazhengchu's official business, I can arrest you directly now."
"Ridiculous!" Zhong Shuling scolded: "Zhang Zheng, I have never done anything that violates national laws. Do you think you can catch me?"
Zhou Xun smiled and said: "By the way, Zhongshu Ling may be an accomplice. I hope the Ministry of Punishment can help us handle this matter!"
Zhang Zheng nodded to Zhou Xun and said: "You have seen what is happening now in Zhongshu Ling, I now have the right to arrest you!"
"You have planned this for a long time, right?" The prince's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the two adults who were bound to win. A purple spiritual power actually appeared in his hand.
When Zhongshu Ling appeared, he held the prince's hand and said: "Both gentlemen, it's business now, so let's not resist. But we will talk about the ugly things ahead. I need to know who reported the prince. If these things happen to you
I can't find any evidence. What I want to see is that the person who made the report is punished for the crime of falsely accusing the current prince."
Zhang Zheng and Zhou Xun looked at each other, and Zhou Xun said: "Of course, if something like this happens, we will definitely deal with it seriously."
Zhongshu Ling whispered: "This is the army left by the emperor. We can't take action casually now. It will be easy to get out from there after our spirit master arrives."
The prince put down his clenched fists and Zhong Shuling said: "There is something I hope you two can approve. Now the emperor's dragon body is not in good condition. Only the prince and I can assist in supervising the country. The prince and I must leave one person to handle state affairs.
, otherwise the two adults may not be able to bear it if the state affairs are in chaos."
Zhou Xun chuckled and said: "We have all seen Zhongshu Ling's handiwork in the past few days. Now all the five ministers have been placed under house arrest by Zhongshu Ling."
Zhongshu Ling had no choice but to laugh and said: "This matter is really unavoidable and I hope everyone can understand it. There are many traitors recently. Things in the palace must be strictly controlled. If I know that one of you is bending the law for personal gain, I will definitely
I won’t let it go either.”
Zhou Xun nodded and said: "Take the prince away and bring him back to Fazheng!"
"Wait a minute." Zhong Shuling shouted: "There is a prison in this palace, why go to Fazheng? Zhou Xun, you have to remember your current identity and status, you can't get out of the palace!"
Zhou Xun looked at the troops behind him and said: "If I can come in, I can go out."
Zhongshu Ling frowned and no one knew what the final consequences would be if the prince was taken out like this. He walked to the prince and looked at the soldiers wearing dragon-patterned black armor beside him and said: "Let
I have something to say to the prince."
Those people did not move. Zhou Xun waved his hand to let them leave first. Zhongshu Ling walked over and said: "The prince does not need to be afraid that the country has its own laws. Lord Zhou Xun will never act arbitrarily without evidence."
I'm going to see you tomorrow if I'm embarrassing you."
The prince nodded. Zhou Xun glanced at Zhang Zheng and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Zhang will feel aggrieved here. I'll leave first."
After Zhang Zheng waited for Zhou Xun to leave, Zhongshu Ling glared at Zhang Zheng fiercely and said, "Zhang Zheng, I think you are just toasting instead of eating and being fined with wine."
Zhang Zheng stroked his beard and smiled slightly and said: "Zhongshu Ling, there is no need to argue with me. I am doing official business."
"Huh!" Zhong Shuling said, "If I knew that you were colluding with Xian Wang and the others, I would definitely make you miserable."
