Chapter 904: The Difficult Morning
"Lao Kang, how is your investigation of the assassination going?"
After hearing the discussion of the ministers, Wang Ben gently slapped Kang Anping next to him with his elbow.
"Huh? What? Going to court?"
However, Kang Anping drooped his head and looked listless.
When he was scolded like this, I thought it was His Majesty who was coming. I quickly raised my head, only to find that the dragon chair was empty and there was no one at all. "Ouch! Lao Wang, what are you doing? You really scared me to death!"
"What are you thinking about? Didn't you hear that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were discussing what happened yesterday?"
"Let's discuss it!"
Kang Anping lowered his head again, drooping his eyelids, as if he wanted to take a nap.
"What time has it been? Are you still in the mood to sleep?"
Wang Ben directly stretched out his hand to push.
His son-in-law was assassinated, and he didn't even have a clue, and all the civil and military eyes of the court were staring at him, the Minister of Punishment, so he actually wanted to sleep?
"Alas! There is no way. The Ministry of Punishment has been studying this matter all night, and we are coming to the court before I can sleep. Before His Majesty arrives, please let me close my eyes for a while!"
Kang Anping waved his arm twice and shook off Wang Ben's hand.
If nothing goes wrong, His Majesty will ask about the progress of the case in the morning. He should quickly recuperate and deal with His Majesty!
After hearing what he said, Wang Ben couldn't bear to say anything else!
Although he didn't sleep much all night and was always thinking about this matter in his head, he still squinted for a while when he was really sleepy. It was much better than them not sleeping all night and analyzing the case carefully!
"Your Majesty has arrived...!"
A moment later, Jing Fu's highly recognizable voice sounded in the hall.
Ying Zheng took the lead with a stern look on his face and came to the dragon chair. He did not sit down in a hurry, but glanced at the ministers with an unkind look!
It seems that he wants to see through their minds and see who is trying to harm his son!
The ministers who were still whispering in the main hall before heard Jingfu's voice immediately shut their mouths and were standing in their positions very obediently!
After receiving the unkind look from Ying Zheng, the ministers quickly lowered their heads for fear of getting into unnecessary trouble!
But the more they behave like this, the more Ying Zheng thinks there is something wrong with them!
If they weren't feeling guilty, why would everyone avoid his gaze?
"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
After a quick glance, everyone drooped their heads. You can't think of them all as suspects, right?
There was no other way, so Ying Zheng had no choice but to give up temporarily, flick his sleeves and sit on the dragon chair!
"..."
However, the ministers seemed to have discussed it, but no one spoke.
The ministers who originally wanted to play something secretly squinted their eyes and found that no one was moving at all, so they could only quietly stuff the memorial into their arms again!
Everyone has seen that His Majesty is unhappy. If the news reported at this time is good news, it would be fine. If it is bad news, then just wait and see. There will definitely be no good news!
As long as it’s not an urgent matter, just wait until tomorrow!
"What? There's no original performance today?"
Seeing that no one said anything, Ying Zheng was unhappy.
These old guys don't usually stay quiet like this. Even if they have nothing to do, they still find trivial things to talk about!
What's strange today is that not a single person said a word!
"..."
The officials buried their heads deeper, but still no one spoke.
"Okay! Since you are fine, then I have...!"
Ying Zheng's face was darker than before, and his voice was much colder, "Yesterday, the Xianyang newspaper office was attacked by men in black. I believe everyone has heard about it, right?"
"In broad daylight, someone assassinated the prince?"
"If word of this gets out, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"
"The dignified prince, did you say that he would do it if he was asked to do so?"
The more Ying Zheng talked, the more excited he became, and he almost arrested a few people on the spot to kill him.
"Now the Xianyang Order will be in trouble!"
"That's for sure. If something like this happens within his jurisdiction, it's strange that he can be spared lightly!"
"It would be easier if the assassin was someone else! But it is His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Alas! It's his fault...!"
At the end of the hundred officials, a small official with his head lowered started to whisper to the people around him in a very low voice.
Each county has its own magistrate and magistrate, and Xianyang is no exception.
In the entire Xianyang City, except for the imperial palace, all public security is managed by the Xianyang Order.
Xianyang has the most wealthy people, is at the feet of the emperor, and has a lot of money. Everyone is rushing to grab this opportunity!
Of course, it is not easy to do this Xianyang Order well.
Nowadays, transportation is convenient, and more and more people are traveling to and from Xianyang. The most difficult thing to manage is public security!
Even though many officers and soldiers had been arranged to patrol continuously, an assassination still happened!
They were also puzzled, could they live a good life? Why did they have to do something like overthrowing the Qin Dynasty?
If you have time to plan these things, you can make a lot of money by doing some business!
"Kang Aiqing! Do you have any clues there?"
After Ying Zheng got angry, he set his sights on Kang Anping.
Kang Anping also guessed that this moment would come sooner or later, so when Ying Zheng arrived at the court, he was very alert!
"Back...back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has started from many places to explore the details of this case. The forged gold medal has also been sent to the palace to see if any clues can be found. The drugs taken by the man in black are also being investigated.
Find the channel!”
Kang Anping talked a lot, but he didn't answer Ying Zheng's question directly.
how to answer?
Just say you have no clue? Isn’t that the same as seeking death?
We can only go around in circles and tell His Majesty that they have been investigating!
"When you get the news, report it to me as soon as possible! I want to see who is so brave!"
Ying Zheng didn't pursue it too closely.
The incident only happened yesterday, and there are very few clues left. It is indeed impossible to find the mastermind behind it so quickly!
The reason for exerting pressure in the court is just to get the punishment department to serve snacks!
"yes!"
Kang Anping breathed a long sigh of relief, bowed his hands in response, and returned to his seat.
This scared him just now, and he thought that His Majesty would continue to ask questions.
My brain is working rapidly, trying to figure out what to do next.
I didn't expect His Majesty to just let it go and not pursue it any further!
But they really have to check carefully, otherwise, they won’t be so lucky next time!
This matter cannot just go unnoticed, the real culprit must be found out!
After that, Ying Zheng got angry again and dismissed the Xianyang Order for dereliction of duty, and then went to court!
Today's morning meeting didn't take long, but the officials thought it was the most difficult one!
They all also scolded the person behind the scenes in their hearts.
Chapter completed!
